By ALAN FERGUSON, STATS Writer
A long list of injuries is one reason why the Detroit Red Wings are uncharacteristically on the playoff bubble this season.
The Red Wings, though, are hoping to get a boost in that postseason drive with the return of Johan Franzen(notes) on Tuesday night against the St. Louis Blues, the finale of a five-game trip.
Detroit entered this season searching for its ninth straight Central Division title and 19th consecutive playoff berth. The Red Wings, who lost three key scorers in the offseason to two NHL clubs and a Russian team, have had another six spend time on injured reserve since Franzen tore his left ACL on Oct. 8.
In part because of those injuries, Detroit (27-21-10) is ninth in the Western Conference with 64 points, two behind Nashville.
The Red Wings haven't helped their chances by going 3-5-2 since Jan. 18. They collected three points in the first two games of their trip before suffering back-to-back defeats.
Detroit faltered early in a 3-1 loss to Anaheim on Wednesday night, but Saturday's 4-3 loss to Los Angeles might have been even more deflating.
Henrik Zetterberg(notes) sandwiched a pair of goals around Valtteri Filppula's(notes) score in the first period. Los Angeles, however, tied it with three second-period goals and got the go-ahead score with 2:21 remaining.
"We can't sit and pout and feel sorry for ourselves," forward Todd Bertuzzi(notes) said. "It's getting to a point where the games are numbered, so we've got to turn this thing around before the break and get some momentum going."
Getting Franzen back on the ice for the first time in 55 games could help. The right winger was the Red Wings' second-leading goal scorer (34) in 2008-09 while also setting a career high with 59 points.
He had a goal and an assist in the first three games this season before suffering his injury in the team's home opener, a 3-2 win over Chicago.
"I'm really excited," Franzen told the team's Web site. "Hopefully with a good first game I can get some confidence and hopefully feel good in the other games."
Taking advantage of the league's worst home team—one that's suffered three straight overall losses—also could help the Red Wings. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall(notes), though, is expected to miss the game with an ailing knee. Tomas Holmstrom(notes) (left leg) and Patrick Eaves(notes) (sprained left ankle) are also doubtful.
At the start of a three-game homestand, St. Louis (25-25-9) is 9-16-5 at the Scottrade Center and has dropped four in a row there, one shy of matching its worst skid from Dec. 18-Jan. 2.
To snap that losing streak, the Blues could use more scoring. A 5-2 loss in Colorado on Monday night marked the seventh time in eight games they've scored two or fewer goals.
St. Louis scored both its goals in the first 7:59 against the Avalanche but allowed three in the second period.
"We thought had things going, and they get three goals," defenseman Darryl Sydor(notes) said. "It was down hill from there."
St. Louis has suffered its past three losses by a 11-5 margin but has outscored the Red Wings 13-9 this season while winning three of four. Right wing Brad Boyes(notes) has a team-leading three goals in those games, but has scored once in his last 24 games.
Franzen has six goals and five assists in his last 11 meetings with the Blues, who held him to one point in sweeping two games from the Red Wings in Sweden.

Newsflash: Caluwé Artisan shifts entire production to Barry Callebaut's sustainable single origin Cameroon chocolate
Website Quality Partner Program
www.qualitypartnerprogram.comHigh resolution images
Cameroon QPP chocolate [1 MB] Caluwé Artisan 1 [56 KB] Caluwé Artisan 2 [5 MB]Wieze/Belgium, August 30, 2012 – Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, announces that Caluwé Artisan, a company customer for three generations, this month switched its entire production to Cameroon chocolate from Barry Callebaut's unique Quality Partner Program (QPP). Through this program, Barry Callebaut assists farmers in Cameroon with education in good agricultural practices thereby helping them improve the quality of the cocoa.
A great continuation of an artisan tradition
Since 1968, the Caluwé family has been producing chocolates of the highest quality in Belgium. Only the finest raw materials are used and combined with passion and attention to detail to ensure consistent quality. By switching its entire production to Barry Callebaut's Cameroon chocolate, Caluwé Artisan acknowledges the possibilities of this superb origin chocolate, while at the same time continuing its many years' production in a sustainable way.
"For Caluwé Artisan, quality and a continuation of its traditional way of producing chocolates are of the utmost importance," says Sofie de Lathouwer, Marketing Director Food Manufacturers Western Europe of Barry Callebaut. "With the superior Cameroon cocoa, produced using our patented fermentation method and knowledge transmitted through our Quality Partner Program, we have inspired Caluwé Artisan to continue this premium tradition in a sustainable way. Together, we are committed to enabling and encouraging farmers to grow and produce cocoa responsibly."
"We are thrilled to switch our production to Cameroon chocolate. The special fermentation process applied by Barry Callebaut in Cameroon ensures maximum flavor and aroma in the bean. For us, this is the starting point for great chocolate," says Koen Caluwé, Managing Director Caluwé Artisan. "We are convinced that the future of quality chocolate is closely linked with that of cocoa farmers. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to secure the production of sustainably grown cocoa. Barry Callebaut's Quality Partner Program in Cameroon offers the perfect answer; the program helps us guarantee quality and enables us to support a sustainable future for the cocoa farmers and their families."
Cameroon chocolate: the sustainable chocolate option of the future
In January 2012 Barry Callebaut launched its Cameroon chocolate range, created with the exclusive red cocoa bean from Cameroon. The fertile ground of the dense rainforest in Cameroon, enriched with volcanic soil, contributes to the exceptional taste of these cocoa beans. Thanks to the premium grade red cocoa, Barry Callebaut's Cameroon chocolate range has an intense shine, a warm color and a very pronounced chocolate flavor. The cocoa component in the Cameroon chocolate range tastes pleasantly bitter with a rich fruity, refreshing acidity.
Together with Barry Callebaut, Georges Caluwé, the founder of Caluwé Artisan, and his son Alberic Caluwé, developed a unique cocoa blend with Caluwé-specific references, used for all Caluwé chocolates. As from August 1, 2012, this unique Caluwé cocoa blend will be produced with Barry Callebaut's sustainable single origin Cameroon chocolate.
Barry Callebaut:
With annual sales of about CHF 4.6 billion (EUR 3.6 billion/USD 5.0 billion) for fiscal year 2010/11, Zurich-based Barry Callebaut is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate – from the cocoa bean to the finished chocolate product. Barry Callebaut is present in 27 countries, operates around 40 production facilities and employs a diverse and dedicated workforce of about 6,000 people. Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry focusing on industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate (such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakers), the latter with its two global brands Callebaut® and Cacao Barry®. Barry Callebaut is the global leader in cocoa and chocolate innovations and provides a comprehensive range of services in the fields of product development, processing, training and marketing. Cost leadership is another important reason why global as well as local food manufacturers work together with Barry Callebaut. Through its broad range of sustainability initiatives and research activities, the company works with farmers, farmer organizations and other partners to help ensure future supplies of cocoa and improve farmer livelihoods.

While only recently completed, this loft residence in Minneapolis' historic Warehouse District was a long time in the making. It occupies the top floor of a 19th-century industrial building that stands within view of the Mississippi River. "Originally," notes architect Christine L. Albertsson, AIA, "the building probably got its power from the river." Albertsson's client first bought a unit here in the mid-1980s, later purchasing one next door as a rental property. "It was one of the first buildings in Minneapolis to be converted to lofts," Albertsson says, "so she was kind of a pioneer." Nearing retirement, she hired Albertsson's firm to combine the two units and add a rooftop sunroom.
"She said, 'OK, you're hired. Just do your thing,'" Albertsson remembers. But one seemingly straightforward request—for hardwood floors throughout—gave the architect a moment's pause. "That's challenging in a condo situation," she notes. "There have been lawsuits over noise." Albertsson's solution—raising the finish floor by about a foot—not only answered that concern but also reduced the stair run to the new upper level and, by creating a continuous utility chase, freed her to relocate the kitchen and bathrooms. A ramp at the entry hall reconciles the new floor elevation and that of the hallway outside the unit's front door.

Inside, the loft highlights the industrial character of the original building. "It's built out of this beautiful light yellow brick," says Albertsson, who exposed both the brick walls and the Douglas fir-timber roof structure. Black steel plates frame new doorways in the former party wall and reinforce the beams that support the rooftop pavilion; an old tin-clad fire door fills the opening between the entry and the study/guest room. Factory-style stainless steel lighting fixtures pick up the industrial-chic theme of the exposed metal ductwork and chimney flues. Modernist interventions—including the kitchen, a wall of white oak millwork in the entry hall, and panels of horizontal-board wainscot at the living room walls—leave no confusion about where the old ends and the new begins.
The sunroom, in contrast, is all new. A southwest-facing clerestory lights the private retreat and generates a chimney effect that drives passive cooling for the entire loft (an electric dumbwaiter makes serving and clearing rooftop meals a relatively passive process as well). A glass-paned overhead door with an exterior rolling screen opens onto the roof deck, where a steel-framed, polycarbonate-topped butterfly roof creates a sheltered seating area. Toward the northeast, the deck steps up to offer a view over the parapet wall to the river.

How do I mount a PZM to a panel? Is a PZM waterproof? |
I've acquired four PZM-30Ds which I intend to mount on 1-meter square plex panels to form a cube. I intend to first record some Texas thunderstorms to see just how accurate a surround recording can be.
Do the mics need to be acoustically coupled with the plex? Can I use Velcro between the mics and the plex to hold them, or will it compromise the bass? Second, how much rain they can take? Id certainly attempt to shield them, but Texas thunderstorms have a way of getting into everything. Reply: Using Velcro to hold the PZMs will not compromise the bass. The Velcro should be thin so that the spacing between the PZM plate and the plex is as small as possible. Otherwise the PZM might develop a rough frequency response in the upper midrange. The PZM-30D is not designed to handle water. Some outdoor recordists put an umbrella covered with felt over the microphones. The felt reduces the tapping sound of the rain on the umbrella. Another method of waterproofing is to put the PZM in a thin plastic sandwich bag. The bag should be limp, not stretched. |

This single-piece grip slides on revolver frames from the bottom, requiring no modification to the firearm. A patented steel "stirrup" device clips over the existing stock pin or bottom strap of the frame. The stirrup is the key component in the system that adapts the grip to the gun handle. Monogrip allows a high handhold on the backstrap which lowers the bore line, reducing muzzle rise in recoil and aiding rapid-fire recovery time, especially when using a two-hand hold. Palm swells are ambidextrous, allowing equal comfort and control for either right- or left- handed shooters.

Multicolor Stacking Mugs or Espresso Cups Sets of 6
A Pleasant Surprise
If you are not sure about purchasing this set, I highly recommend it!
I had recently received an espresso machiene as a gift, and felt the unique quality of the espresso should be matched within an equally artistic vessel. When I saw this set of cups, I knew they were exactly what I wanted! When I received them in the mail, they were everything I hoped for, great quality, microwave and dishwasher safe, perfect. However, the stainless steel display rack that came with the cups and saucers was unfortunately damaged in the shipping process. While it was only minor damage, it didn't quite sit right.
Upon mentioning this to World Market, in hopes of trading in the rack alone, I was pleasantly surprised with their kindness in shipping me an entire new espresso cups set! I cannot say enough kind words about this!
I not only get to use these cups, but have a backup set in case of any damages should occur to the original set in the future.
In short, this product is worth your time and money. It just is!
January 16, 2014
Great price!
I love these espresso cups! The price was great and the colors are perfect. I would recommend these. I searched on line and could not find a better deal anywhere!

Great Cups and Customer Service
We ordered a set of espresso mugs and a set of the regular coffee cups when we moved to Alaska after not being able to find any small (8 oz) coffee cups. We used to use all of them, but are drinking less espresso these days, so those have been shelved. All of the espresso cups and saucers are in perfect condition despite use and dishwashing.
When we received the regular stacking mugs, they had been shipped to us in their metal holder. During shipping, the mugs had hit the holder and chipped a few of the mugs. When we contacted customer service, they sent us ANOTHER SET and holder, free of charge. We were seriously impressed! I believe that we have completely broken (broke into large, safe chunks) one or two of the mugs in the last three years, but have had two sets to pull from, so all is well. The chipped mugs are not unsafe to use. We think they are great to use with kids who might break them instead of the nice set.

Convenient storage
Very cute and match my dinnerware. I have always wanted cappuccino cups and these are just perfect. I am thinking of ordering an extra set.
June 2, 2013
love these espresso cups
First, I love the colors. I wanted solid color cups, and the fact that these are 6 different colors is great because no one will get mixed up identifying their own cup. Second, I love that they are slightly larger than most of the other espresso cups on the market. And, third, I love the stacking caddy that holds them. I leave them on the counter next to the espresso machine and they become an accent piece, as well as being easily accessible for everyone.

The city of Hays is on board. Now, Ellis County Administrator Greg Sund will ask Ellis County commissioners to do the same in Monday's 6:45 p.m. meeting at the Ellis County Courthouse.
Hays city commissioners agreed Thursday to an interlocal agreement to give the county its share of a proposed 0.5-percent county sales tax. City commissioners also agreed to a letter of understanding stating the county commissioners would drop legislation for a dedicated sales tax that would give the county 100 percent of revenue.
"I think it's a good thing," Sund said of the city commissioners' decision. "If we can deal with things on a local basis without having to resort to legislation, I think that promotes cooperation between the governments."
If the county commissioners give their approval, then the agreement is forwarded to the Kansas Attorney General's office for its approval.
Combining the city of Hays and the county's share of a sales tax would give the county 90 percent of revenue generated. To reach 100 percent, the other incorporated cities in the county -- Ellis, Victoria and Schoenchen -- also would have to reach an interlocal agreement with the county.
"We now have a document I can approach the other cities (with)" Sund said. "There's more than one benefit. We can talk about the interlocal agreement, but it also gives me an opportunity to talk about the project, too."
The sales tax would go toward the construction of an EMS/rural fire building, as well as expansion and renovation of the county jail and courthouse. Renovations to 718 Main -- where most county offices would be relocated -- and to the health department at 601 Main would either be part of the sales tax or paid off through the county's budget.
The county has been given the authority to issue bonds not to exceed $14.5 million for the project, but Sund expects the cost to be lower, somewhere between $11.5 million and $12 million. He said the county's consultants have estimated it could take approximately 4.5 years to pay for the project, allowing the tax to sunset at that time.
The city of Hays currently has a 0.5-percent sales tax which was used to construct Bickle/Schmidt Sports Complex. That sales tax ends March 31.
Among items in other business, commissioners:
* Will consider a resolution for acquiring a lease/purchase for a fire truck that will be assigned to Company 2 in Catharine.
* Will consider awarding bid for insurance for Ellis County Fire District No. 1.
* Will receive reports from county extension services, community corrections and county health department.
* Will discuss an in-person report for jail study and consider a county logo.
* * *
Ellis County commissioners will have a special meeting at 1:30 p.m. Monday at 601 Main.
Topics for the commissioners' planning session include building projects/sales tax; county priorities and 2014 budget goals and objectives.

I haven't had a pointing out instruction, but I think there's some possibility that I've recognized rigpa in my life. I know I would need to meet a guru to be sure, but I'm wondering: for those of you who commonly have lucid dreams, and have recognized rigpa, is it easier or harder for you to recognize rigpa within them?
For about twenty years starting around age 4, I had quite frequent lucid dreams, within which I would marvel at the sheer vivid, clear, blissful cognizance of the experience. I remember even then noting that the experience was unlike anything I commonly experienced during waking life. That's when I first developed a passion for understanding what this "mind" or "awareness" thing is, and it led me many years later to Mahamudra.
Anyway, now I'm on retreat, and have three months during which I don't have to worry about when I wake up. I intend to re-learn the skill of lucid dreaming which I've partially lost. I've read the three major books on Dream Yoga (by ChNNR, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and Alan Wallace), but I don't recall anyone addressing the question of recognizing rigpa from within the dream. There's a tiny snippet in "Carefree Dignity" by Tsokyni Rinpoche, but not much.

Neck pain is discomfort in any of the structures in the neck. These include the muscles, nerves, bones (vertebrae), and the disks between the bones.
Pain - neck; Neck stiffness
When your neck is sore, you may have difficulty moving it, especially turning to one side. Many people describe this as having a stiff neck.
If neck pain involves nerves, you may feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arm, hand, or elsewhere.
A common cause of neck pain is muscle strain or tension. Usually, everyday activities are to blame. Such activities include:
Accidents or falls can cause severe neck injuries such as vertebral fractures, whiplash, blood vessel injury, and even paralysis.
Other causes include:
For minor, common causes of neck pain:
You may want to reduce your activity only for the first couple of days. Then slowly resume your usual activities. Do not do any heavy lifting or twisting of your back or neck for the first 6 weeks after the pain begins. After 2 to 3 weeks, slowly begin exercising again. A physical therapist can help you decide when to begin stretching and strengthening exercises and how to do them.
Do not do the following during your early recovery, unless your doctor or physical therapist says it is OK:
The following steps can prevent neck pain or help your neck pain improve:
Seek medical help right away if:
Call your health care provider if:
Your doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam and ask about your neck pain, including how often it occurs and how much it hurts. Other questions may include:
Your answers help the doctor determine the cause of your neck pain and whether it is likely to quickly get better with simple measures such as ice, mild painkillers, physical therapy, and proper exercises. Most of the time, neck pain will get better in 4 to 6 weeks using these approaches.
Your doctor or nurse will probably not order any tests during the first visit, unless you have symptoms or a medical history that suggests a tumor, infection, fracture, or serious nerve disorder. In that case, the following tests may be done:
If the pain is due to muscle spasm or a pinched nerve, your health care provider may prescribe a muscle relaxant or a more powerful pain reliever. Over-the-counter medications often work as well as prescription drugs. The health care provider may prescribe a neck collar or, if there is nerve damage, refer you to a neurologist or neurosurgeon for consultation.
If your doctor or nurse thinks your neck pain may be due to meningitis, you will be sent to an emergency department for further tests and treatment.

Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon condition in which the kidneys are unable to prevent the excretion of water.
During the day, your kidneys filter all your blood many times. Normally, most of the water is reabsorbed, and only a small amount of concentrated urine is excreted. DI occurs when the kidneys cannot concentrate the urine normally, and a large amount of dilute urine is excreted.
The amount of water excreted in the urine is controlled by antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is also called vasopressin. ADH is produced in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then stored and released from the pituitary gland. This is a small gland at the base of the brain.
DI caused by a lack of ADH is called central diabetes insipidus . When DI is caused by a failure of the kidneys to respond to ADH, the condition is called nephrogenic diabetes insipidus .
Central diabetes insipidus can be caused by damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland as a result of:
Nephrogenic DI involves a defect in the kidneys. As a result, the kidneys do not respond to ADH. Like central DI, nephrogenic DI is very rare. Nephrogenic DI may be caused by:
Symptoms of DI include:
The health care provider will ask about your medical history and symptoms.
Tests that may be ordered include:
The cause of the underlying condition will be treated when possible.
Central diabetes insipidus may be controlled with vasopressin (desmopressin, DDAVP). You take vasopressin as either an injection, a nasal spray, or tablets.
If nephrogenic DI is caused by medication, stopping the medication may help restore normal kidney function. But with some medications, such as lithium, after many years of use, nephrogenic DI can be permanent.
Hereditary nephrogenic DI and lithium-induced nephrogenic DI are treated by drinking enough fluids to match urine output. Medicines that lower urine output also need to be taken.
Nephrogenic DI is treated with anti-inflammatory medicines and diuretics (water pills).
Outcome depends on the underlying disorder. If treated, diabetes insipidus does not cause severe problems or result in early death.
If your body's thirst control is normal and you drink enough fluids, there are no significant effects on body fluid or salt balance.
Not drinking enough fluids can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
If DI is treated with vasopressin and your body's thirst control is not normal, drinking more fluids than your body needs can cause dangerous electrolyte imbalance.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of diabetes insipidus.
If you have diabetes insipidus, contact your health care provider if frequent urination or extreme thirst return.

text: 2 Compatiblity issues...Fury556 | 20/01/2014 | See all Fury556's reviews (20)I'd love to leave a more in depth review, but unfortunately this game is more or less unplayable for myself, and many others at the moment. Having SLi enabled seems to cause massive amounts of flickering on screen, and the only way to fix it, is to disable SLi. This then severely hampers performance for me (even on a 590 GTX and i5 Haswell setup). I played the multiplayer for about 30 mins before having to stop due to the issue as well as the poor gameplay. It felt like a cheap knock off FPS (of which there are hundreds around). It felt like nothing new.

Social media is more than a passing fad, it is definitely here to stay. Social media apps and channels of distribution may evolve, but the concept of social media is now big business and a part of all our lives.
The Conscious Evolution of Healing, Part 2
The idea of transmission is very important in the Chinese medical classics. According to author Claude Larre, the ancient Chinese were highly interested in the connection between things. Nothing was looked at as an isolated entity.
It's Green Cleaning Time
For those of us not fortunate enough to live in a more tropical environment (and no I am not bitter to you in the Deep South), it is only a matter of time before we start seeing evidence that Spring is just around the corner.
Converting More Clients for Your Massage Therapy Practice
In 2013 and 2014, the theme was "the money is in the list." This meant that if you had a big email list, you were really making some "cha-ching." Unfortunately, having thousands of emails doesn't equate to thousands of dollars in profit.
What Do Your Clients Teach You?
Each person we touch becomes a teacher. If we listen with our ears, eyes and heart, they teach us how to best serve their needs and, in turn, our own. In my work with seniors, I've had many such teachers and one in particular stands out.
Don't Stress Yourself Out
Now that the holidays are really in the rear view mirror, I feel like I can breathe again. Between shopping, cooking, baking, eating, visiting family, decorating, and cleaning, I felt like I did not have a moment to rest between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
Developing a Caring and Effective Leadership Style
Effective leadership doesn't require an advanced degree or years of business experience. Effective leadership does require a commitment to values, hard work and stewardship, especially when leading from the heart.

Acupuncture and Homeopathy: Bioenergetic Brothers
Acupuncture and homeopathy share an important healing principle: bioenergetics. "Bio" means "life," so bioenergetics is literally "life energy."

Planners to vote on gravel-pit applications
Thursday, February 14, 2013
SANFORD — The planning board is expected to vote next week on applications for two mineral extraction pits to be located in a wooded area near the Great Works River.

Airbus and The Boeing Company might appear to have little in common, but they certainly share a fascinating, and even intertwined, history. Both aviation firms are pioneers, having contributed numerous innovations in the field throughout the years. As technology advancements, new aircraft models, and litigations continue in the years that follow, so too does the competition between the two airframe manufacturers.
Competition might feel like a four-letter word to Airbus and Boeing executives (this geek is almost certain it does most times), but it is most often a boon for the aviation community, the global economy, and the general public.
"One important benefit of competition is a boost to innovation. Competition among companies can spur the invention of new or better products, or more efficient processes. Firms may race to be the first to market a new or different technology. Innovation also benefits consumers with new and better products, helps drive economic growth, and increases standards of living. Products that are commonplace today once were technological breakthroughs… innovation can change your life, and increase prosperity," reads the "How Competition Works" from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). [If you are interested in the topic and learning more about the benefits of competition, consider visiting and such quick-read literature as can be found at the following link: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/youarehere/pages/pdf/FTC-Competition_How-Comp-Works.pdf.]
This geek could go on and on but digresses, however, so back to the rival aircraft manufacturers and recent, relationship-shaping events in the next and final installments of the airplane pioneer series.

Once Upon a Canyon Night
The wonderful volunteers of Actors Conservatory Ensemble, responsible for presenting 12 seasons of popular entertainment in our beautiful S. Mark Taper Foundation Amphitheatre, are taking another summer off to rest and restore their energies. But they hope to return in 2015 with a full season of their eclectic mix of concerts, comedy, plays and family shows in a unique setting that the LA WEEKLY described as "surely the cutest outdoor venue in town…with a super friendly vibe, like those small towns you've heard of".
Past seasons were filled with great concerts by Billy Valentine, Mark Copeland & his Big Band, Contemporary Jazz Pianist Lao Tizer, Celtic Harpist Julie Mondin, I See Hawks in LA, The String Family Players, Lou Barlow and more! Performers who've donated their time and talent to our readings include Robert Forster, Mariette Hartley, Ed Begley, Jr., Ben McKenzie, Jordana Spiro, Harry Lennix, Robert Guillaume, Charlie Robinson, Walt Goggins, Charles Durning, Robert Culp, Sal Viscuso and Meagan Fay. And our audiences have enjoyed spoken word evenings and comedy nights with Paula Poundstone, Sinbad, Jessica Tuck's "Spark Off Rose" and "Def Poetry Jam's" Poetri.
We would like to thank these performers - and our amazing volunteer crews - for all our past seasons!
For inquiries and further information – including how you can become part of the amphitheatre team – please contact email@example.com or (818) 623-4877.

Wakey Wakey Backes was indeed classeless... but it just made NHL lore. I suggest all Blues fans wear the shirt as a rallying point.
I get what you're saying, but I think it's just natural reaction. Captain gets hurt on dirty hit . . . in the playoffs . . . by a hated rival . . . and they laugh about it. I don't care what fanbase it is, the guy yelling Wakey Wakey is gonna get called out on message boards. There might be worse things said during the game by both teams (although this really was low), but him getting called out on message boards is just how it works IMO.
You know, I think it all comes down to the fact that IF Keith actually said "Yes, I said it" instead of playing the forgetful memory game people may still hate him, but have some respect for the guy because he was honest. He can't even do that. Says everything I need to know about him.
Maybe. I think playing forgetful just added a layer to it though. If he admitted it, I don't think we would be like, "Wow, that was classy of him to own it." 100% of our bitching would be about him saying instead of 95% about him saying it and 5% about him playing dumb.

Welcome and PLEASE read below before you link up as this is a REAL FOOD carnival, and very different from others you may have joined in on.
It's that crazy time of the week when you entice us with your links and comments to go check out your blogs and your great REAL FOOD WEDNESDAY tips and ideas or recipes! (Visit that link if you're new and want to learn more about this blog carnival.) Remember, if you're a blogger, you'll draw some good traffic to your site by participating! (This is how I built up my traffic in the beginning, and don't miss my tips below.)
CAN YOU HELP? (6 rules and tips!) (Note: here's where those of you who are new will want to read carefully, thank you!)
1. It's not easy for me to catch them all on my own, and I'd really like everyone to play fair, so if you see any posts that don't link back to this post (blog carnival etiquette you know!), can you email me please? email@example.com. If you don't know how, I explain it at this REAL FOOD WEDNESDAY link. (I hate playing hardball and removing links, so let's all be good to the others who are bringing more traffic to your blogs with their links by doing the same, OK?)
2. Also, PLEASE let me know if you see a recipe posted that is blatantly not Real Food. Someone who is striving and on the journey is one thing (as we all are), but if it's really bad (canned bread, meat substitutes, Velveeta, margarine/vegetable oil, Egg Beaters, unfermented soy/tofu or any other fake food), please tell me so I can remove it. (If I've removed your post, I hope there are no hard feelings, but people come to this post for Real Food ideas, and I don't want to disappoint.)
3. I hope you'll retweet and stumble this post and also any sites you visit – this will get more exposure to all of us, thank you!
4. Please don't link up to your post where you're writing about something as an affiliate if I'm already an affiliate for the same thing, OK? That includes giveaway posts. (Thank you for understanding!)
5. Want more traffic at your blog? if you're linking up and hoping for more traffic to your blog, can I make a suggestion for how to boost your traffic? Besides just adding your link to the Mr. Linky doohicky, if you also comment and include just ONE interesting sentence to grab the readers attention AND a link to that specific post, you'll get more hits for sure, at least from me anyway. I don't often have time to go through every single link (although I know a lot of people do), but one thing I always do is read the comments. If there's a sentence that grabs my interest AND a link to get me there easily, I'm much more apt to visit!
6. Don't have a blog? We still want to hear from you! Please leave your tips or recipes in the comments.
Thank you!
You're up, and we can't wait to see your stuff!

Three-Tier Hanging Wire Basket
This basket is very durable, unlike like the collapsible ones
I've had before. Have had every basket FULL, no problems. Of course the hook is screwed in to a beam. Love it.
August 17, 2013
Great basket
This is a very sturdy basket, holds all my fruit and looks great.
May 8, 2013
Great! Easily assembled, product looks exactly as it does online
it is strong and works great and is just what we needed :)
April 14, 2013
Perfect Fit
I recently moved into a tiny apartment from a two bedroom mobile home. I basically traded a 700 square foot trailer for a 300 square food apartment and desperately needed storage solutions for my tiny space.
These baskets worked perfectly. I hung two over my bathtub and they hold all my bathroom products as well as my wash cloths and hand towels. They are not in the way at all and very handy.
I had had this sort of basket before but was surprised at how sturdy these are compared to products I had owned previously. They are very high quality and larger than I had expected. They are surprisingly roomy. I really love my baskets!
April 8, 2013
These are just what my kitchen needed!
I hung these baskets in the corners of my kitchen since I choose not to buy corner cabinets on my remodeling project.(hanging plant hooks worked really well) I used one for veggies like potatoes, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes and the other for our fruits. My kids eat more fruit now that they can see it. They look FABULOUS!!
January 28, 2013
Quality product
This hanging basket is of great quality. It is not uncommon for us to have 10 pounds of potatoes and 3 pounds of onions in it. The item came well packed and shipped in a very timely manner.
January 26, 2013
Very well made
I bought this to store onions and potatoes in my pantry and it's perfect! The bottom basket easily holds a 5# bag of potatoes, the middle basket holds a bag of yellow onions and I put red onions in the top. The baskets have a chicken wire looking mesh, which is perfect for a "country kitchen" look.
January 25, 2013
Excellent, but better if it came w/a hook & chain
This is by far the nicest such basket on the market. After searching extensively, I can confidently say that there is no hanging tiered basket that is as sturdy and attractive as this one. It has a slightly rustic look and the color is nice. I love how it looks in our kitchen. The one complaint I have (which earns it 4 stars instead of 5) is that you have to purchase a hook and chain separately. We couldn't find a hook that went well with the color and aesthetic of the basket, so we ended up with one that is far too fancy (it was the only one in a color that matched the basket) and a big, ugly chain (also because the color matched). I'd be willing to pay a few dollars more to avoid the wasted time and hassle involved in searching for the right hook and chain. If it came with the hook and chain, it would be perfect!
