About Palma Violets
Are Palma Violets the 'Next Big Thing'? (Created June 13, 2013)
Many bands and artists claim to be 'the next big thing' in Indie music. But few have the credibility and popularity of Palma Violets, whose very British sound has made its way around the globe.
Though Palma Violets only formed back in 2011, this group based on the partnership of frontman Samuel Fryer and Chilli Jesson has already grown a huge fan base, thanks to their mix of rock, garage rock and psychedelic sounds. Along with keyboardist Jeff Mayhew and drummer William Doyle, their first single "Best of Friends" ran away with NME's song of the year selection for 2012, and their debut album followed on February 25, 2013.
That aforementioned album, "180," was hailed by critics and seemed to put the Palma Violets in the same category as The Libertines and The Strokes. Many said the guitar riff to "Best of Friends" instantly set the tone for the rest of the project, its sound of summer festivals and lazy days shining through.
Oddly enough, the band made headlines for saying they initially hated the single that made them breakthrough stars. Fryer himself called the song "so predictable" and said they were actually quite embarrassed to play it. But when fans reacted and labeled the song to be catchy and clever, Palma Violets issued a brand new video and later decided to re-release the track. All this is in lead-up to their supporting slot for The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park on July 6.
Palma Violets currently appear on the NME Awards Tour 2013, along with Miles Kane, Django Django and Peace.

TheatreWorks starts 40th season with a winning musical, 'Tinyard Hill'(3)
In "Tinyard Hill," TheatreWorks has staged a wonderful new musical that is poetic in its position as the first production of the company's 40th season.
TheatreWorks started with "Popcorn," a homegrown musical about what was going on in Vietnam, American society in general and especially in Palo Alto. That play had a cast of 40.
"Tinyard Hill" also takes on the topic of Vietnam, but has a setting several years earlier. It has a cast of just four actors, but they are a magnificent quartet of singers who deliver a tale full of charm, warmth, humor and social importance in a show that seems to start as something simple, but which builds to a powerful, tears-inducing emotional climax.

Give to Cooper Union
Peter Cooper established a school so that young men and women of all backgrounds would have the formal education that was unavailable to him, an education that could transform lives and, therefore, society. The Cooper Union has flourished for more than 150 years, still true to its founder's enlightened vision, because of the generosity of countless individuals who have shared his view of education as the bedrock of a prosperous and democratic society. Today, more than ever, Cooper Union depends upon your support to educate, in Cooper's words, "soaring minds" who will "secure the greatest good to the greatest number of youth in our City, our country, and the world."

Derrick Rose to pay for funeral of slain 6-month-old Chicago girl
Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose said he will pay for part of the funeral of a 6-month-old Chicago girl who was gunned down in the south side of Chicago Monday night, according to a report from ABC News.
The baby was caught in the crossfire of a gang related incident in which her father was the intended target of the attack. He was shot at while changing her diaper on the passenger seat of a minivan. He survived the attack but the shooter remains at large with an $11,000 reward being offered for his capture.
Rose has not commented specifically on this incident, but has been vocal in the past about his feelings toward Chicago's issues with gun violence. In September, he took to Twitter to share some of his thoughts, days after two people were shot to death and 10 others were wounded over a two-day period in Chicago.
I'm sitting here just thinking how sad it is that my city got to go through this. I love my city and everyone in it even my haters!—
Derrick Rose (@drose) September 12, 2012
I pray everyday for US for real. I know I shouldn't be saying this because I hoop and it's not my lane but I feel like ppl should hear this.—
Derrick Rose (@drose) September 12, 2012
Rose is currently at the tail-end of his rehab after tearing his ACL last year and could make his return to the Bulls before the playoffs.
God should bless Mr. Rose. He plays kick ass round ball and I'm a big fan. I liive in Cleveland....thank you
Hows all that gun control working in Obamas home town, the murder capitol of the US. Only ones with the guns are the criminals. Stupid liberal democrats!!
It is well known that Rose is a generous person. Behind the scenes he does a huge amount to help his community. a tip of the hat and much gratitude to you. I do think that he should have an aide/someone, proofread anything he posts. He is a college graduate, how can this be or is someone posting using his name?
Personal act of Kindness thats great go DRose!
@DaveMatthew what gun control?
@DaveMatthew Was Adam Lanza a criminal? No, he had no criminal record at all before going on his shooting spree.
Yes, and for every Adamn Lanza (who wasn't a registered gun owner, nuillifying your point, but let me make another), there are dozens of people (including kids) murdered every single day. You would've been better off making your case with Sandy Hook, though it's still wrong.
Gun nuts aren't the ones leaving 2-5 kids a day dead in Chicago alone, more on weekends. You think these murderers (not even deemed insane) spent time in line to register, then went to Walmart to pick out their 'piece'? If I went by your logic, I'd expect them to have a crack and meth kiosk in the liquor department of Walmart.
@badger2012 @DaveMatthew that's his point... the lanza's guns were registered to someone else. it wasn't a comment on criminal record. he's saying gun control doesn't work, which you just anecdotally confirmed
@brrilo I alluded to this in my reply to AM1, but I think you have to separate overall levels of violence and these unique massacres. I agree that banning guns altogether will not lower levels of violence which are the result of a complex mix of socioeconomic and cultural factors -- there is good, readily available evidence that this doesn't work. And with that in mind, I support the 2nd Amendment and the rights of people to own guns for self defense and hunting.
However, allowing people own high powered assault weapons is not necessary for the 2nd Amendment to be upheld, nor do hunters or people interested in self defense need them. Banning these weapons won't reduce violence as a whole, but it could help prevent these horrific massacres that exist outside of the normal reasons for violence (i.e., the Lanzas were well off, as was the Aurora shooter.)
Why on earth is there no edit function?
Point was, these daily crimes rack up and do circles around the handful of psychopaths who snap and steal uncle bob's properly registered weapons. These thugs are not stealing legally registered guns from acquaintances or victims, they are smuggled and bought on the street market.
@AM1 @badger2012 @DaveMatthew The Lanzas are criminals only with hindsight. Prior to Sandy Hook, the Lanza family would be exactly the kind of people who would be held up as "good guys" (as the NRA would say) with guns -- Nancy Lanza was a gun lover who went to shooting ranges with her children, all while living in a nice residential area. Adam Lanza himself had no criminal record, and the guns were legally registered.
But everyone knows what happened -- the good guys turned into the bad guys here, with Adam Lanza going nuts and murdering his mother and a bunch of school children and other adults. So to say that the only ones with guns are criminals is an oversimplification that misses the point, as Adam Lanza was not a criminal, yet he had easy access to guns thanks to his mother loving them.
As far as gun control itself, there is evidence that it doesn't work on a national scale -- that is, levels of violence remain unchanged as they are caused by socioeconomic and cultural factors whether or not guns are around. But these massacres are outside of the "normal" realm of violence. The Lanzas were well off, as was the Aurora shooter. Banning high powered assault rifles -- which still leaves plenty of options for hunters and people who have firearms for self defense -- might help us avoid, or reduce the chance, of having another one of these massacres. I think that's the worth it, to put it mildly, and there is evidence that it has worked in Australia.

Fabio Borini will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder in Liverpool's thumping 5-0 Premier League win over Swansea.
• Whalley: Reds find ruthless streak
• Blog: Little new as Swans beaten
Borini, who missed a large chunk of the the campign after fracturing his foot in October, landed heavily late on after an aerial challenge, leaving Liverpool with ten men for the closing stages.
The Italian, signed from AS Roma for a fee of £11 million, made 15 appearances for Liverpool in his first season in English football, scoring just once.
After their victory Brendan Rodgers said of Borini: "He will probably be out for the season. It looks like he has dislocated his shoulder.
"It's unfortunate because it's the other shoulder, he had the same injury at Chelsea. It looks like, early stages, that that's the diagnosis."

10 Reasons to Retire in a College Town
Cities with colleges tend to offer lots of amenities at affordable prices.
In Pictures: The 10 Most Educated Places to Retire
Public transportation. Public transportation is often reliable and affordable in college towns. For example, Corvallis, Ore., the home of Oregon State University, has a fareless bus system for all residents. And Pittsburgh residents age 65 or over can ride Port Authority buses and trains for free. Many other cities offer senior citizen discounts on public transportation.
Scenic beauty. Colleges are often built in picturesque settings, and they sometimes go to great lengths to keep the campus and surrounding community looking beautiful. Retirees can stroll among the historic buildings at the College of William & Mary or the Jeffersonian architecture at the University of Virginia. More adventurous retirees can hike to the gorges and waterfalls near Cornell University, traverse the two massive lakes surrounding the University of Wisconsin-Madison, or check out the giant redwood trees that punctuate the University of California-Santa Cruz campus.
Think young. A college brings a steady stream of young people into town who are eager to be on their own for the first time. This youthful energy can infect the whole town during orientation week, game days, and commencement, and there may be opportunities to get involved. "For young-at-heart retirees, there are often free classes, open concerts, and discounted tickets to sports events," says Corcoran. "They offer youthful enthusiasm and lots to do."
Retirement communities on campus. Many colleges now have retirement communities located on or near campus, including the University of Michigan, Duke, and Notre Dame. At Oak Hammock, a retirement community affiliated with the University of Florida, residents have access to the university's libraries, athletic facilities, and cultural activities. And University of Florida professors and other experts present lectures at the retirement community—no tests or grades required.

Got the post challenge blues? Let's hack Google!
In honor of Frank Lloyd Wright's birthday, Google SketchUp partnered with The Guggenheim Museum to launch a competition to design a simple shelter. By using Google SketchUp and Google Earth you can choose any site and create any basic dwelling (without water, gas or electricity). While it is a great creative initiative, it could go one step further by challenging participants to design with purpose.

Used motor oil is a hazardous waste. It contains heavy metals, contaminants and dirt discarded by the engine during use. Fortunately, used motor oil is dirty rather than worn out, so it can be recycled. However, motor oil is toxic to humans, wildlife and plants. As such, it should be disposed of at a local recycling or disposal facility. Before disposal, used motor oil should be stored in a plastic or metal container with a secure lid, rather than dumped in a landfill or down the drain. Containers that previously stored bleach, gasoline, paint, solvents, or other household chemicals should not be used. Used motor oil should never be mixed with other substances such as antifreeze, pesticides, or paint stripper.
Used motor oil is recycled several different ways. It can be reprocessed into fuel to heat and cool homes. Reprocessing is the most common method of recycling used oil in the United States. Approximately 750 million gallons of used oil are reprocessed every year and marketed to asphalt plants, steel mills, boilers, pulp and paper mills, cement/lime kilns, and a number of other places.
Motor oil can also be burned in furnaces for heat or in power plants to generate electricity for homes, businesses, or schools. It can be blended for marine fuels, mixed with asphalts for paving, or used to fuel industrial burners. Used motor oil can be used in specially designed municipal garages, space heaters, and automotive bays. Finally, used motor oil can be re-refined into lubricating oils that meet the same standards as virgin or new oil. All of these methods of recycling help to conserve valuable energy resources.
When establishing oil recycling programs, municipalities should provide the public with the proper informational resources. Programs should encourage the public to contact local service stations, municipal governments, the county government office, or the local environmental or health departments if they are unsure where to safely dispose of their oil. The public can also call 1-800-RECYCLE or contact Earth's 911 for more information.
The EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response has launched the "You Dump It, You Drink It" campaign to promote the proper management of used motor oil. See EPA's Used Oil Management Programs for free materials written in English and Spanish.
Municipalities also need to address oil filter recycling in their recycling programs. Programs should encourage the public to check with local collection facilities to determine whether oil filters are recycled locally. The Filter Manufacturers Council, established in 1971 to monitor regulatory and technological developments affecting the oil industry, can also be used as a resource for the public. The Council operates a hotline (1-800-99-FILTER) and a website to provide information about state regulations and companies that transport, recycle, and process used oil filters. If oil filters are not recycled locally, empty filters should be wrapped in newspaper and disposed of with regular household waste. Oil filters must always be drained of oil, whether recycling or disposing of the filter. The public should also check with trash collectors to determine if their state allows disposal of oil filters in landfills.
Motorists who change their own oil can be classified as do-it-yourselfers. Those that pay someone else to do it can be classified as do-it-for-me's. Do-it-yourselfers change their own oil because they want to save money, they enjoy it, or they take pride in the quality of their own workmanship. According to a survey, more than 30 percent of motorists change their own oil. Between 43 and 62 million gallons of used oil were collected and recycled by do-it-yourselfers in 1997 (API, 2000). Therefore, it is important that do-it-yourselfers recycle their used oil. Do-it-for-me's have their oil changed at service stations, quick lubes, and other places; they should check if their mechanic recycles motor oil.
To make recycling motor oil more convenient for the do-it-yourselfers, oil recycling programs should be located throughout all communities. Although oil recycling programs are appropriate in any community, urban areas are in particular need of such programs, as more motor oil is used in these areas to maintain a larger number of vehicles. Therefore, oil recycling programs should heavily target urban areas and provide more facilities for recycling oil.
Oil recycling programs can be implemented easily throughout the country. Two types of programs are currently in use - drop-off locations and curbside collection. Drop-off locations include service stations, recycling centers, auto parts retail stores, quick lubes, and landfills. These locations are effective because they are familiar, permanent, and conveniently located. Such permanent sites are easily publicized during recycling programs. Curbside collection programs allow consumers to place their oil on the curb for collection, as they already do with their other recycling and trash. While this program is convenient, it requires a hauler to collect the oil. Oil recycling programs that use drop-off locations for collection are implemented by local governments, state governments, service stations, quick lubes, auto parts retailers, oil processors, or any combination of the above. Curbside collection programs are implemented by municipal or private waste haulers, municipal or private recycling haulers, or a combination of any of the above.
Increasing Public Awareness. Communities should increase public awareness of proper used oil disposal and recycling. This can be achieved by creating websites, displaying used oil collection sites in automobile repair shops and auto parts stores.
Local Recycling Programs. Many states, cities, and communities have developed their own recycling programs. For example, the California Integrated Waste Management Board sponsors a used oil recycling program that develops and promotes alternatives to illegal oil disposal. This is accomplished through a statewide network of collection opportunities and outreach efforts that publicize and encourage used oil recycling. The program provides useful information for the public, including collection locations, certification information, proposed regulations, used oil facts, and other resources. For information about this program see California's Used Oil Recycling Program website.
Other areas with used oil programs that can be used as models for communities trying to develop their own programs include:
National Recycling Programs. In 1991, the American Petroleum Institute (API) established a used oil collection and recycling program. The program works to educate the public about collecting and recycling used oil, making oil collection more convenient, and ensuring that this valuable resource is handled appropriately. See API's Used Motor Oil Program website for more information. API has also developed model legislation based on Florida's program to encourage the collection and recycling of used oil. Florida's legislation requires states to create a special fund to help cities and towns establish used oil collection facilities. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of educating the public about oil recycling. Guidance for developing collection programs, in the form of API's model legislation as well as guidebooks and publications is available.
Recycling used motor oil benefits the environment, the public health, and the economy. Oil improperly disposed of in landfills, ditches, waterways, or dumped on the ground or down storm sewers can migrate into surface and ground water. It takes only one gallon of oil to contaminate one million gallons of drinking water (USEPA, 2000). Oil can also seriously harm aquatic plants and animals. Oil particularly affects submerged vegetation because oil blocks sunlight, hindering photosynthesis. Motor oil causes 40 percent of the pollution in America's waterways (Mississippi DEQ). If that motor oil were recycled, water pollution could dramatically decrease.
One gallon of re-refined motor oil can produce 2.5 quarts of lubricating oil. It takes 42 gallons of crude oil to produce the same 2.5 quarts. It takes three times the energy to refine crude oil into lubricating oil than it does to re-refine used motor oil. Recycling the 180 million gallons of recoverable motor oil thrown away each year would produce enough energy to power 360,000 homes annually. Finally, if the 1.3 billion gallons of oil wasted each year by the United States were re-refined, it would save 1.3 million barrels of oil a day (Mississippi DEQ).
Recycling used motor oil protects public health. Oil circulating through a car's engine collects rust, dirt, metal particles, and a variety of contaminants. Engine heat can also break down oil additives, producing acids and a number of other substances. Exhaust gases and antifreeze can also leak into oil when the engine is in use. The toxicity of oil greatly increases when any of these substances mix with oil. Public health can be seriously threatened if oil is disposed of improperly or if it enters the water or air.
Recycling used motor oil benefits the economy. Oil is a valuable resource that can be re-refined and reused in combustion engines. As oil is a non-renewable resource, it will become increasingly difficult to find new reserves in the future. Therefore, recycling will provide time to develop alternative fuels and lessen dependence on foreign oil suppliers.
Oil recycling is limited by the potential for contamination. Oil mixed with other substances, such as chemical residues contained in storage containers, is considered a hazardous waste. In such cases, collection facilities are responsible for disposing of this hazardous waste and abiding by environmental regulations. Another limitation is public education. While oil recycling programs can be effective, it is often difficult to effectively educate the public and convince them of the importance of oil recycling. Municipalities can address this limitation by including recycling information in utility bill inserts, newspaper ads, and mailings. That some might find it inconvenient to take their oil to a recycling facility is a last limitation. People may not have time to drive their oil to a facility, especially if the facility is difficult to find. When this happens, people are more likely to improperly dispose of their oil.
According to a 1998 survey, 30 percent of motorists change their own oil. Of those, 12 to 15 percent admitted improperly disposing of their oil. While most people claim that they put the oil in the trash, 3 to 5 percent said they dispose of their oil in a storm drain system. Based on this survey, more than half of do-it-yourselfers improperly dispose of used motor oil. A 1994 survey reported that of the 28 percent who are do-it-yourselfers, 17 percent reported improper disposal. These statistics can be improved through better advertisement of recycling facilities and by making recycling more convenient for the public.
Costs for used motor oil recycling programs vary depending on whether a community has already established similar types of recycling programs. Major costs associated with oil recycling programs include costs for advertising and oil collection. While service stations and collection facilities often allow the public to drop off their oil free of charge, these facilities must pay a recovery service to collect and dispose of their accumulated oil. One such recovery service, US Filter, charges an annual fee of $179 for unlimited waste oil removal, or a $79 fee for one-time oil removal, from service stations, small garage owners, and other types of collection facilities. Costs for programs also vary, depending on whether oil is collected by curbside pickup or at drop-off facilities. As fees vary, check with a local recovery service for more specific information about oil collection fees.

Uninsured motorist coverage helps pay for medical bills and property repair costs for you and your passengers if you're ever involved in an accident with an at-fault driver who doesn't have insurance.
Failure to show proof of car insurance can result in a fine of up to $250, suspension of your drivers license and vehicle tag, and up to 30 days in jail.
If you're an Esurance customer and you get into an accident, you can take your car to one of the Esurance-approved E-star® repair shops in Oklahoma.
By doing so, you can take advantage of RepairView™, which lets you monitor your repairs in progress.

for Africa (RAF)
Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are the fastest growing in the world. By 2050, urban dwellers in Africa are projected to increase from 373 million to 1.2 billion and the proportion of urban dwellers in Africa projected to rise to 50 per cent by 2030. Across Africa, these urbanisation trends present multiple new development opportunities and challenges at the local level, severely increasing pressure on the essential services, infrastructure and natural systems which underpin economies and social well-being. Security and access issues pertaining to water, energy and food are projected to be exacerbated through climate change, most affecting the vulnerable within society. These challenges call for innovative solutions – A transition in Africa towards embracing urbanization, responding to change and harnessing opportunities.

This place must have gone downhill in the last few years. Went there last night with a group for a Christmas party. The place looks very cool.
We were seated at 7pm and orders taken. 20 to 30 minutes later were informed they had run out of Prime Rib. That's a ridiculous mistake at a restaurant that charges this much and touts itself as upscale. They substituted a steak of lesser quality. The head server seemed rushed and did not allow time to question the menu. One dark haired young lady sighed heavily whenever asked for water or bread. She referred to one diner as "dude." Very classy.
Appetizers came quickly and then the wait began. Half the party were served their entrees about an hour later and it was at least another half hour until the rest were served. The steaks were good but the baked potatoes were cold.
Everything is ala carte and you you don't get sides unless you pay. $5.00 for a baked potato that's cold.
No one offered dessert. Our table had to ask but finally decided not to since it took so long to get your meals. While cleaning up the served dropped a knife on my wife's head, made a hasty apology and left. The bills were completely wrong and took three tries to get right.
Not worth the drive and I won't make it again. Over priced for the quality of the food. Poor service. The ambiance doesn't begin to make up for it.
Best Steak i have eaten in New Mexico – I have been to the Luna Mansion 2 times since it has been reopened under new management.
Both times me and my wife were seated immediately, and attended to graciously.
There are various rooms with different decors and atmosphere.
Our first dinner was the Porterhouse, it was huge! I had the Maytag wedge salad. First of all the steak was cooked perfectly and was so tender i hardly needed the knife. It was lightly flavored with an herb butter. I don't think i have ever had such a good steak in New Mexico.
I can't comment on drinks as i do not drink but others there seemed to enjoy the selections of wine. There is a bar upstairs and live entertainment on occasion.
I would recommend this Restaurant to anyone!
Good Food – Was wondering how it would be after the new owvers took over. WHAT A GREAT DINNER!! Went over the holidays. 4 of us for dinner, two sirloins, two filets. All were cooked to perfection, very tasty. Drinks around plus an extra. Maytag salad was shared by two people with lip smacking comments about how fresh and tasty it was. Over all, great evening, after not going to the Mansion for a while, I will be returning often, telling all my local friends also! Great Job, Great Meal, Great Service.
Best Steaks in Town! – The Mansion is under new ownership, and the pride
in the gorgeous old place has been renewed!
For the past few years I was not pleased with the food or service. Now, the difference is evident.
The Mansion Steak was so tender and delicious,
it reminded me of being back in the 80's when the Mansion was the place to see and be seen.
If you are looking for a true steakhouse..This is it!
Stay away from the prime rib – For our anniversary we decided to revisit a favorite restaurant. We hadn't been there in a number of years and have fond memories of the excellant meals and good times we have had there in the past. The beautiful historic building had not changed but the minute you entered the door you could feel a definate change in the atmosphere from years past. There were very few people having a meal, where in the past you had to wait to get a seat on a Friday night. The waitstaff was very attentive and efficient. They were accomodating when I ordered my catfish prepared differently than was offered on the menu. But then we got our food. My husband had ordered prime rib, medium rare. As the plate was put on the table it was evident that it was not medium rare. Not wanting to complain, he tried to eat some of the meat. It was dry and overdone. The waitstaff agreed it was not what was ordered and took it back. Another plate arrived, this time the meat was still not medium rare but was also almost frozen. We ended up leaving without eating. For a restaurant that says the specialize in prime rib, and did in the past it was a very disappointing meal. But on the up side the waitstaff was great and the building is fasinating.
Great atmosphere and decor – Thought I would do a newer review of the Luna mansion since the last 2 were in 2002. Since those reviews, it has new owners. We ate there last night were actually rather disappointed. They have revamped the menu, giving you fewer choices. I am big on grilled chicken and only one dinner offered it..with other meats in a medley dish. :( Gone are the homestyle menu items that we had come to love, like Green Chile Chicken potpie with puff pastry or the Southwest Meatloaf..Mmmm.. So I decided on Spaghetti and meatballs, my hubby had sirloin. Both were very good. Highly recommend the Green Chile Pork soup! Wonderful, but hot! :D For dessert we had Mud Pie which was an coffee ice cream cake with oreo crust and chocolate and caramel drizzle. yuum..
But my how empty the place was. I remember when there was a wait to be seated..now there is definitely no wait..plenty of empty tables. Still, for our anniversary out, the atmosphere was elegant, and we had very attentive waiters. Service was great, water glasses and my Starbucks coffee were refilled, waitstaff was friendly (maybe because there wasnt many people to wait on?) If you've never been, I do recommend going at least once for the experience. As for us..we may wait awhile before we go again.. :)
sure thing – The host was gracious and courteous, always give you the table you want, and top notch food and service. The mansion has great pictures and a ghost that is seen fairly regular by patrons and employees. You have the freedom to roam through the mansion at your leisure and the patrons are cordial. The mansion is worth the drive!
Elegant – Very elegant with fantastic service. Priced affordably. Upstairs waiting area is the best for socializing and meeting freinds for drinks.

Dancing About Poetry
The Full Circle Dance Company presents Moving Passages: Dances Inspired by Writing
Published: January 23, 2013
The Full Circle Dance Company's Moving Passages: Dances Inspired by Writing relies on speech almost as much as it does on music. The challenge for the program's 13 dancers is to find a rhythm in talking that is analogous to the beats in music.
"As choreographers we have to consciously find the pulse in the voice," explains Donna Jacobs, who founded the company 13 years ago. "As people we do that unconsciously, because it helps us identify who's talking. It's interesting to dance to those rhythms, especially when someone is speaking the words live, as in this one piece, because he does it a little different each time. In that case, we're not counting so much as we are using certain words as cues."
The piece she refers to is "A Stone of Hope," based on a poem of the same name by Baltimore actor Keith Snipes. During a recent rehearsal at the Morton Street Dance Center, the dance school that Jacobs runs in Hampden's Meadow Mill, the bald, muscular actor roams the back of the room. He booms out his reflections on the Martin Luther King Jr. Monument in evangelical tones as if he were channeling King himself. (Indeed Snipes has portrayed King for the Arena Players and at Penn State.) The biracial, overwhelmingly female dancers look upward—as if at King's face—in the early lines, balance like birds on one leg when Snipes speaks of inspiration, and stretch their fingers precariously forward when he mentions "all who dare to dream."
"Keith saw the monument as more than just a statue," says Jacobs, who choreographed this world-premiere piece, "but as a call to go out into our communities and do what Dr. King stood for. So the movement had to have the dancers coming to the monument and then returning to their communities."
Jacobs is just one of the company's eight choreographers who have contributed to the weekend's 11 different pieces, incorporating texts from such sources as William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Baltimore artist Jill Scott, and Full Circle dancer Angelica Daniele's memoir of escaping a relationship with a gambling addict.
The Full Circle Dance Company presents Moving Passages: Dances Inspired by Writing at the Baltimore Theatre Project Jan. 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Jan. 27 at 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
By Randy Billings firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
A restaurant owner's responsibilities are spelled out in the state food code, and inspectors are trained for consistent enforcement.
Scott Davis, a state health inspector, checks the temperature of food stored in a walk-in cooler in the kitchen at the Stage Neck Inn in York Harbor as executive chef Lynn Pressey looks on. "He knows we're trying to do the right thing." Pressey said.
Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer
However, a Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram analysis of inspection results revealed a significant variance of failure rates from one county to another.
For example, only one out of 334 inspections in Washington County between 2010 and 2012 failed. That's a failure rate of 0.3 percent.
But in Sagadohoc County, 25 out of 193 inspections failed. That's a 13 percent failure rate -- the highest in the state.
Cumberland County, meanwhile, is not far behind with a failure rate of nearly 11 percent -- 228 failed inspections out of 2,094.
Lisa Roy, the state's Health Inspection Program manager, said she had not conducted a county-by-county analysis of inspection results, so she couldn't offer an opinion about why there was so much variance in failure rates.
Dick Grotton, president and chief executive officer of the Maine Restaurant Association, said the code is applied evenly throughout the state, even though some requirements, such as having a "conveniently located" hand-washing sink, can be subjective.
Grotton said the variance in failure rates could be attributed to the fact that some inspectors are more willing to work with an owner to correct violations without having to fail them on their inspection.
"I very much appreciate an inspector who uses common sense in interpreting the code," he said.
The department conducts quarterly staff meetings and recertifies inspectors every three years -- a process known as restandardization -- to keep the state inspections consistent.
Scott Davis has been a state health inspector for the past 25 years. His territory is York County, and he is one of two people responsible for training inspectors to ensure consistency throughout the state.
Consistency is especially important to owners of franchise restaurants who must answer to corporate leaders regarding their inspection results. If one inspector cites a fast-food restaurant worker in York County for not wearing a hair net, but an Aroostook County inspector does not, businesses begin asking questions, Davis said.
One way to ensure consistency is to enforce the rules as they are spelled out in the code. However, Davis said it is more important to maintain a good relationship with restaurant owners.
"We're not here to bust people's chops," Davis said. "We're here to help them."
On a recent inspection of the Stage Neck Inn, a seaside resort in York Harbor, Davis put that philosophy into practice.
Davis began by checking a walk-in cooler to make sure raw meats were stored in such a way as to prevent cross-contamination. He then tested the temperature of a variety of items in the cooler with a thermometer that he sterilized between tests. Davis did the same to a hot vat of chowder, before checking the dish-cleaning and bar areas.
Throughout the inspection, Davis used his flashlight to illuminate crevices, but made only a few notes on his clipboard. He marked down seven noncritical violations, including a dirty air vent, a refrigerator without a thermometer and single-service items, such as portion cups, stored on the floor.
But, when a pack of deli meat tested slightly above the 41-degree limit, Davis did not mark down the violation. Nor did he mark as a violation the storage of a sack of potatoes beneath a rack of packaged meat -- a risk for cross-contamination.
Davis explained that the violations were not marked because other cold-hold temperatures were within allowable range and executive chef Lynn Pressey works to correct violations on-site. With regard to the deli meat, for example, Pressey called his handyman, who appeared minutes later to adjust the temperature in the cooler.

Protection Orders…
…are civil court orders prohibiting a specific person from coming near your home, work site, school, or other locations as listed on the order.
…are based on the relationship you have with the party you are seeking protection from.
…are issued by a judge and must be served by a police officer, deputy sheriff or process server.
…are effective for 12 months from service date.
…can provide you with legal recourse if the served person violates the order.
…cannot resolve landlord/tenant disputes.
…cannot change custody or visitation orders.
…cannot guarantee your safety.
There are two types of Protection Orders.
The first type is an Order of Protection and is used when…
…the parties are married, or were married in the past.
…the parties live together, or lived together in the past.
…the parties are the parents of a child in common.
…one of the parties is pregnant by the other.
…one of the parties is a parent, grandparent, in-law or sibling.
The second type is an Injunction Against Harassment and is used when…
…the parties are dating, but have never lived together.
…the parties have a relationship not previously listed.
…the parties share a workplace.
Obtaining a Protection Order
Go to: Phoenix Municipal Court
300 West Washington Street
Room 608 (6th floor)
Monday thru Friday (except holidays)
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
When you arrive, court staff will help you determine the Protective Order type for your situation and provide instructions on completing the necessary paperwork for a judge's review. Please allow at least 1 hour to complete this process and be prepared to describe all incidents between yourself and the person you are seeking protection from. If you are seeking protection from multiple persons you will need to complete additional paperwork for each person.
You will need to provide the court with…
…all past or present court proceedings involving yourself and the person you are seeking protection from.
…the full name, date of birth of the person you are seeking protection from.
…the home and work addresses where the Court Order can be served on the person you are seeking protection from.
Your address and telephone number will remain confidential. This information is only needed if court staff need to contact you regarding a hearing.
Once you complete the paperwork you will meet with a judge to discuss your request. Please be aware that not all requests are granted and some may require a court hearing with the person you are seeking protection from before issuance. Note: If the Court Order will be served outside the City of Phoenix it may be in your best interest to request the Court Order in the jurisdiction where it will be served.
Be advised that Protective Orders are not valid until they are served on the person you are seeking protection from.
Court Orders can be served in three ways:
1. If the person being served resides within the City of Phoenix , court staff may be able to coordinate service of the Court Order with the Police Department. Phoenix Police officers will attempt to serve the Court Order Monday through Friday ( 9:00 am - 3:00 pm ). However, not all Court Orders can be served in this manner. The most critical aspect of this service method is the accuracy of the person's address you provide the court.
2. If you do not know where the person being served lives, you can take the Court Order with you and can call police when you learn where the person is, or when you have contact with the person. If this occurs in the City of Phoenix , call Crime Stop at 602-262-6151. If this occurs outside the City of Phoenix , call the law enforcement agency in the area. If the person is in the Maricopa County Jail just present the order to jail staff and they will serve it. State law requires any law enforcement agency to serve an Order of Protection, however this provision does not apply to an Injunction Against Harassment.
3. Your last option for service is to take the Court Order with you and hire a private process server to serve the Order. Note: When the person being served with a Court Order is under 16 years of age, a parent will also be served.
Notification of Service
Once the Court Order has been served, the police, sheriff or process server will provide the court with a Certificate of Service and a copy will be mailed to you. The Court Order is valid for 1 year from the date of service. If the Court Order is not served within one year, it automatically expires.
The person you filed against can request a hearing anytime prior to the expiration of the Court Order. If this occurs, the hearing will be set 5 to 10 days from the request and you will be notified by court staff. It is critical that you keep the Order of Protection Office informed of any change in telephone or address. If you fail to appear at the hearing the judge may dismiss the Court Order.
Dismissal of a Court Order
Orders of Protection & Injunctions Against Harassment can only be dismissed by a judge. If the individual that requested the Court Order would like the court to consider dismissing the Order they must come to the Order of Protection Office and complete the required paperwork.

text: Excel Energy which serves customers in southern Colorado is warning about an increase in scam phone calls. Mark Stutz told me they've seen anywhere from 80 to 100 cases. He also says Excel noticed a 45% jump in such scams in January compared to all of 2012. Stutz says crooks are calling and telling folks their service is about to be cancelled or they paid too much. They're asked for a credit card number, pre-paid card number, or even bank account information. Just remember, don't assume the caller is legit. Hang up and call your utility company yourself to check. If you're an Excel customer who has received such a call, you're asked to report the incident by dialing 1-800-895-4999.
