[MP3] EAR CANDY | Heidi Spencer & The Rare Birds – "Alibi"
[MP3]: Heidi Spencer & The Rare Birds – "Alibi" (right-click, save as)
"No one needs to know we laid around all day."
All day, every day, that's pretty much my theory. And if your first thought when seeing her name was Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (from The Hills), you weren't alone. If not, I should cut back on my celebrity gossip. MTV is terrible.
"Alibi" is a nice, simple, mellow song I came across and thought I'd share. Sometimes it's nice when things aren't too complicated; sometimes you need that. (Also, I like how you can hear a single finger-snap on some beats.) It's the first single off Milwaukee's Heidi Spencer & the Rare Birds' album, Under Streetlight Glow (due out March 27 via Bella Union). Hope you enjoy!

The tryptophan barely will be wearing off as the area will begins looking toward the holiday shopping season and all local deals can be found Thursday morning in the Williamsport Sun-Gazette.
"We have found that the Thanksgiving edition of the Sun-Gazette is a holiday tradition with thousands of families in our region," said Publisher Bernard A. Oravec.
With so many deals to be found during Black Friday shopping, Oravec said Thanksgiving always brings out the largest edition of the Sun-Gazette.
"The Thanksgiving edition is our largest newspaper of the year, with more than three dozen sales fliers and catalogs included," he said.
Oravec suggested subscribing to the Sun-Gazette in order for people to get their hands on all of the fliers, but area residents also may pick up Thursday's newspaper at local stores.
"The best way to be guaranteed a copy of the Thanksgiving edition is to be a home subscriber, but if not, look for it at your favorite retail location," Oravec said. "Because of the popularity of our Thanksgiving edition, we've increased the number of copies available in 2012 and our staff will be actively restocking at our retail locations."
And with it being so large, Oravec said the price hasn't increased from previous years.
"Even though the Thanksgiving edition is bigger than ever, we have not raised the price from last year of $1.50," he said.
With so many local shoppers picking up the newspaper to prepare for their shopping adventure, Oravec said the Sun-Gazette is proud to be a part of that tradition.
"Many holiday shoppers plan their entire shopping experience around what they find in the Sun-Gazette. We are pleased to be a part of that family tradition," Oravec said.

Feb. 12, 2013
President Barack Obama came out swinging in support of his economic vision during his State of the Union speech Tuesday in Washington, urging Congress to ask more "from the wealthiest and most powerful" as part of a balanced approach to deficit reduction and economic growth.
Using a populist tone that urged legislators to avoid "the brinksmanship that stresses consumers and scares off investors," Obama said "the greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next."
In one of the most confident speeches of his political career, the president spoke like a leader ready to lead the nation into more prosperous times, bored with the childish shenanigans of Republicans in Congress and intent on doing what needs to be done to improve the economic quality of life for American citizens.
"A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs – that must be the North Star that guides our efforts," Obama told the legislators gathered in the Capitol's House Chamber. "Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?"
By tying virtually every proposal he made in the first two-thirds of his speech to economic improvement, Obama sent a message that at this point in his presidency, he is ready, willing and able to stand up to Republican obstructionists in the House and Senate who are always maneuvering to prevent the administration from doing what voters elected Obama to get done.
"We should do what leaders in both parties have already suggested, and save hundreds of billions of dollars by getting rid of tax loopholes and deductions for the well-off and well-connected. After all," Obama asked rhetorically, "why would we choose to make deeper cuts to education and Medicare just to protect special interest tax breaks? How is that fair? How does that promote growth?"
The president also proposed an overhaul of immigration policy, framing that in economic terms as well. "Our economy is stronger when we harness the talents and ingenuity of striving, hopeful immigrants," Obama said. "And right now, leaders from the business, labor, law enforcement, and faith communities all agree that the time has come to pass comprehensive immigration reform."
Obama even managed to push the House to pass of the Violence Against Women Act by taking an economic tact, saying, "We know our economy is stronger when our wives, mothers, and daughters can live their lives free from discrimination in the workplace, and free from the fear of domestic violence."
In pushing for an increase in the minimum wage to $9 an hour, Obama invoked something he and 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney agreed on in last year's presidential campaign. "Let's tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it finally becomes a wage you can live on."
As so many pundits said he must do, Obama focused on the economy in the first State of the Union speech of his second term. While he also spent time talking about gun control proposals and the importance of securing voting rights for all Americans, this speech was first and foremost a speech about how to improve the economy.
During the 2008 campaign, Obama's critics often accused him of using soaring rhetoric without offering tangible proposals. That criticism was somewhat justified at the time, but Obama exhibited a kind of rhetorical maturity tonight that was more reminiscent of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton at their populist best. He connected with everyday citizens, and he did so in a way that didn't come across so much partisan as it did practical. That could pay big dividends for the Democratic Party down the road.
Because Republicans control the House, it's going to take a groundswell of public support for many of Obama's proposals to pass in this Congress, the 113th. It could happen, but even if it doesn't, the president's speech tonight bodes well for Democratic chances for a takeover of the House in 2014. By continuing to stay positive with his focus on jobs, bipartisan cooperation and economic improvement, Republicans who oppose him become, by default, the archetypal bad guys.
The 2014 midterms are a long way off, but that doesn't mean politicians on both sides aren't thinking about the next Election Day. Obama's address almost certainly will boost the Democratic Party brand and lay the groundwork for further gains in popularity, at least until Republicans can offer something better than simply opposing almost anything and everything this president has to say.

A Mudbut is a small mythical woodland creature found in rural central Pennsylvania. This creature is slightly smaller than a cat and extremely fuzzy. To see this animal would remind you of a koala bear mixed with a household cat. It gains its name by the sound it makes which is in a very highpitched light voice it say "mudbut"

A capsule look at Bill O'Brien's weekly news conference
Opponent: No. 18 Michigan (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten)
Kickoff: Saturday 5 p.m., Beaver Stadium
About the Wolverines: They won a rivalry game against Notre Dame (41-30), then avoided disaster the next two weeks with close wins over Akron (28-24) and UConn (24-21); QB Devin Gardner is dangerous through air (60 percent, 8 TDs) and on the ground (318 yards, 5.7 average) but also has thrown eight interceptions; third-year coach Brady Hoke has been very good for Wolverines, going 24-7
Last time vs. Penn State: The Lions won, 41-31, at home in 2010 and have won three straight in the series after losing nine in a row from 1997-2007.
Line: Michigan is a 1 1/2-point favorite; over/under is 49
No answers: Penn State lost to Indiana for the first time ever Saturday, in a game in which it threw 55 passes against a poor run defense. But O'Brien was feisty and in no mood Tuesday to answer questions about what went wrong, deflecting all questions about the loss by saying the team is moving on to the Michigan game. That poses an intriguing question: Do fans and the media deserve to know details about why or what the team or coach did in a certain game? O'Brien shouldered the blame after the game Saturday with general answers about how he has to coach better, but he offered no specifics. Tuesday, after having seen the game film, he would have been better equipped to point out good and bad elements, but he chose to deflect those questions.
Few details: O'Brien's news conference lasted only about 20 minutes, or 10 minutes shorter than usual. His answers were brief, and while he didn't get angry, he clearly was annoyed by some of the questions. "The team's confidence isn't shaken," he said sternly with no further comment after getting asked a question about that. He was asked about the team's resiliency and said, "I'm not a psychologist or a psychiatrist or anything. I just think that we have a fantastic group of kids that are practicing hard right now and very focused on the Michigan game."
Questionable question: Sometimes coaches have to be wondering what in the world a media member is thinking by asking a certain question. More than halfway through his news conference, when it was clear he didn't want to give specifics about anything, O'Brien was asked what his team has done in practice to prepare for Michigan QB Devin Gardner. "Do you really think I'm going to tell you what we do in practice to prepare for Devin Gardner?" the coach responded. O'Brien actually was pretty polite on that one given the oddness of the question.
Not just another game: This is Penn State vs. Michigan, and that's always big. "This is an exciting opportunity," O'Brien said. "I mean, Penn State-Michigan, ESPN, 5 o'clock, 108,000. We've got Nittanyville going crazy over here. I think it would be crazy to think this is just another game. I think this is a great opportunity for our team. Our kids are really excited."
Identity issue: It's safe to say this Penn State team has struggled to find an identity through five games. "I think our identity is we're a tough team," O'Brien said. "We're going to play hard, and we've got a lot of good players."

Frosting appears a white, salt-like substance on the paint surface. Frosting can occur on
any paint color, but it is less noticeable on white paint or light tints.
What Causes It?On masonry, frosting can be mistaken for efflorescence. Frosting forms mostly in protected areas (such as under eaves and open porch ceilings) that do not receive the cleansing action of rain, dew, and other moisture.
The use of dark-colored paints that have been formulated with calcium carbonate exterior may also cause this. Applying a dark-colored paint over a paint or primer containing calcium carbonate extender can also lead to this problem.
How to Solve ItFrosting can be a stubborn problem. It often cannot be washed off readily. The condition can also recur as a bleed-through even when a new top coat is applied.
In extreme cases, it can interfere with adhesion. The best remedy is to remove the frosting by wirebrushing masonry or sanding wood surfaces. Then rinse and apply an alkyd-based primer before adding a coat of high quality exterior paint.

The Department of Theatre strives to teach the ability to work as a team and learn how to function as an ensemble. It's critical to help students develop those skills in order to nurture a strong company of actors, directors, designers, technicians, and administrators to inspire and challenge artists and audiences. We strive to produce a mixture of classics, contemporary and original plays and musicals that provoke thought and communication about social issues such as peace and justice, race, sexual politics, war, immigration and other socially relevant work with vision, while simultaneously educating and entertaining our audiences. We attempt to continuously rediscover the dynamic quality of the theatrical process by encouraging experimentation and nurturing collaboration and individual creativity, all while providing the training and proving ground for the development of future theatre professionals.

YOUNGSTOWN – Children can pose for a photo with Santa and make an accompanying picture frame to create a holiday memory as one of several free activities scheduled to celebrate "Christmas in the Village" on Saturday.
Festivities kick off at 10 a.m., with an Artisan Christmas Market in the gym of the Red Brick Village Center, 240 Lockport St. The market will offer everything from gluten-free baked goods to walking staffs, clothing, jewelry and Native American crafts. The Town of Porter Historical Society Museum also will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the building's second floor.
Market musicians and wandering minstrels will perform throughout the day, with Step in Time featuring Monti and Marsha Jones from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Julie Winden on trumpet from 2 to 4 p.m.
Free horse-drawn carriage rides will be offered from noon to 4 p.m. with pick-up at the Red Brick building.
An encampment featuring soldiers from Old Fort Niagara will take place from noon to 4 p.m. on the Red Brick lawn.
The Youngstown Free Library, on the second floor of the Red Brick building, will offer free crafts for children from 1 to 3 p.m., and will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
At 1 p.m., a Children's Party featuring Santa will be held on the second floor of the Red Brick.
"The Children's Party is always a big draw and children can have their pictures taken with Santa and it's free, which surprises people," said Ann Johnston, of the village Recreation Department.
"The children can also make a frame for the photo, which is a nice take-away gift. And, the Girl Scouts make the cookies for the kids to decorate – so this really is a community event."
At 2 p.m., a Victorian Tea sponsored by the Women's Study Club of Youngstown is planned for the First Presbyterian Church of Youngstown, on Church Street. First Presbyterian also will host a Nativity Display from 2 to 4 p.m.
The traditional tree-lighting ceremony is planned for 5 p.m. in front of the Red Brick building, followed by the announcement of the results of the decorating contest sponsored by the Youngstown Lions Club at 6:30 p.m.
"It's just a very nice family event," said Johnston. "We have characters strolling around in costume and even more vendors in our Christmas market this year, because they had such a nice turnout last year."
The event is sponsored by the Village of Youngstown and its Recreation Department.

William Shakespeare wrote words that engaged and connected with the audiences of his time, and continue to do so.
As one of the most revered groups to currently perform The Bard's plays, Actors of the London Stage know how important it is to create that audience interaction - so much so that it was a real problem during a recent performance when house lighting inhibited the performers from seeing the crowd.
"It changes the nature of the performance entirely," said Actors of the London Stage performer Henry Everett. "So the next night, we had to put the house lights up so that we could see the audience, and they could see each other."

Henry Everett of Actors of the London Stage performs in William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice."
Everett and the other four London Stage actors in the touring production of "The Merchant of Venice" are looking forward to seeing the local audience as they perform at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10-11 in Schwab Auditorium on the Penn State University Park Campus.
The actors - most of whom come from prestigious companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, Royal National Theatre of Great Britain and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre - will provide a stripped-down, intimate rendition of this classic comedy, which touches on love, greed and loyalty.
Everett said "The Merchant of Venice" is an entertaining and funny story, but still touches on dark, relevant topics. And though the London Stage actors will perform a shortened version of the play, Everett said the text is presented in a way that Shakespeare purists can appreciate.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "The Merchant of Venice"
When: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10-11
Where: Schwab Auditorium, Penn State University Park Campus
Details: Tickets are $32 for adults, $25 for those 18 and younger. They can be purchased by calling 863-0255 or online at www.cpa.psu.edu/tickets.
"The essential story is very much there," Everett said. "We're winning over those people who have never seen this play before, or who have not seen Shakespeare before. ... The play itself wins over the audience because the language is so clear, the story is fun and easy to follow. And I guess we're doing a good job at presenting it."
Laura Sullivan, marketing director for CPA, said the group does a great job at bringing Shakespeare to life from what she has seen of the group's past performances.
"They are one of the best acting companies for Shakespeare, so you're going to want to take advantage of that opportunity," she said.
"It's incredible to think about the level of talent that will be on our stage with just five people."
The small size of the Actors of the London Stage cast warrants actors to play multiple roles. Everett plays Bassanio, Morocco, Arragon and Duke interchangeably throughout the performance.
"The change of character is about the actor's ability to inhabit the character's physicality," he said. "It often entails a slight change of clothing, maybe a jacket or a scarf or a hat, something quite visual which an audience can easily understand. But it's great fun, it really makes it really fun for the audience to watch actors change quickly, but also keep the story going and alive."
While they are in State College, the Actors of the London Stage will also attend classes at Penn State and read scenes from the show. Everett hopes the performances and interactions with students can remind theater-goers of all ages that live entertainment doesn't have to come in the form of big musical productions with elaborate sets. Instead Shakespeare's impeccable prose and lovable characters become the stars of the show.
"The thing that I love about Shakespeare is that the greatest character he ever conceived, in my opinion anyway, is the audience themselves," Everett said. "He wrote for a broad range of audience, from the lay person right up to the Queen of England and the Kind of England themselves."

What Does Your Homeowners Association Do?
|Email Print
When I first shopped around I thought it was ridiculous that I would have to something like $30-$50 a month to some homeowner's association (HOA) on top of a mortgage, insurance, taxes, etc. It wasn't the dollar amount, it was a case of the final straw hitting that poor proverbial camel's back. This was made especially aggregious after hearing stories of HOA's that did very little in the community… luckily the area I moved into had not only a relatively inexpensive HOA fee but a relatively active HOA.
I pay $195 every six months ($32.50) to a homeowner's association (HOA) and I think it's a fair thing to ask. Certainly I can list all the things that they say they do, but after living in the house for nearly a year (and experiencing all the seasons) I can honestly list all the things they actually do. How does this stack up against your HOA?
Snow Service
The HOA's jurisdiction isn't a terribly large area, I imagine fewer than a hundred town homes, but the snow service has been pretty good. We've only had a couple dustings (only one notable snowstorm of a foot plus of snow and a few multi-inchers) but the guy came out in his little caterpillar-esq snow plow and plowed out all the parking areas and connecting streets. He also pulled out the snow blower, cleared off sidewalks and paths, and salted them down.
Grassy Common Area Upkeep
Thus far we've had three major trees (20 feet+) removed because they had died and they were removed rather expeditiously. All were taken down in a day and in their place a bare patch covered in grass seed (some fluffy mixture of seed, fertilizer and protectant) remained. They also mow the lawn regularly (supposed to be once every two weeks but I doubt it's that often).
Repaving Streets
In each of the three "areas" there is usually a square of town homes that surround a parking area. The outside ring of the parking area has slightly elevated resident reserved parking spots and there is a two by ten section of parking spots in the middle that surrounding a little grassy area. Well, once every three years (it happened just this year) they repave the entire area and spray the lines and numbers. This is very nice because the better the roads, the less crap gets kicked up and dents/scratches your car. The lines, I suspect, will likely be repainted each year along with the curb.
Once A Year On-Site Dumpster
Once a year, usually in June, the HOA grabs a dumpster and puts it in one of the areas for a weekend. You can dump any non-hazardous trash into that dumpster and it gives you a great chance to toss something without having to make the trip to the dump itself.
Community Maintenance Watch
Usually people don't like this but I like it a lot. How often have you seen a neighbor's lawn, which hasn't been mowed in a month, look like crap? It's unsightly but it's not really your place to criticize someone else's home and tell them how to take care of it right? And even if you could, there's no reason why they should listen! That's why the HOA's monitoring comes in handy. Let them do the dirty work so you don't have to. It let's the passive aggressive thrive!
There are other perks that I don't take advantage of, and thus don't recognize, but I think even if it were limited to the ones above I wouldn't mind paying $30 a month to be in the HOA.{ 78 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

My actual name is Kathleen, and I don't like it. No one has ever called me Kathleen. I was Katie as a child and Kate as an adult. I really wish my parents would've just named me Kate. It's annoying hearing a name I don't use being called in doctors' offices.
I named my kids Thomas and James, and that's what I call them. Everyone tries to call them by nicknames, which is so weird, because I introduce them as Thomas and James.
I HATE when people do not call people by what they asked to be called. Maybe it's the teacher in me, but I just really value getting a name correct.
My husband is a third in a line of Richards (also with a cousin named Richard), and I ended it, because I like my children to have their own names.
How do you feel about your name, and how do your experiences affect your naming style?

Next year looks like a rout for Android makers.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Scientists have combined a recently developed technique known as multiplex automated genome engineering (MAGE) with a newly developed platform, hierarchical conjugative assembly genome engineering (CAGE), to site-specifically replace all 314 TAG stop codons in E. coli with a synonymous TAA codon. The overall process combines synthetic DNA and recombination methods to introduce genome-wide changes dynamically in living cells, effectively engineering the genome through viable intermediates.
Describing their E. coli manipulation in Science, the collaborators at Harvard Medical School and MIT, say the approach also allowed them to measure individual recombination frequencies, confirm cell viability at each modification, track additional mutations, and identify associated phenotypes.
"We present genome-engineering technologies that are capable of fundamentally re-engineering genomes from the nucleotide to the megabase scale," the authors state. Harvard's George M. Church, Ph.D., and Farren J. Isaacs, Ph.D., together with MIT's Peter A. Carr, Ph.D., and colleagues, describe their achievements in a paper titled "Precise Manipulation of Chromosomes in Vivo Enables Genome-Wide Codon Replacement."
First described by the Harvard and MIT researchers in 2009, MAGE is a continuous, cyclical technique that enables the rapid generation of sequence diversity at numerous targeted chromosomal locations across a large population of cells through the repeated introduction of synthetic DNA. In the current set of experiments, the technique was used as the first stage in a process that ultimately aimed to generate a strain of E. coli in which every TAG stop codon was replaced by a TAA codon.
The researchers first split the E. coli genome into 32 regions, each carrying 10 TAG codons, and used MAGE to replace 10 TAG codons with TAA codons in each of bacterial strains. This resulted in a series of engineered bacteria that together included every TAG-TAA replacement.
The team then used CAGE to effect hierarchical assembly of the modified chromosomal segments into a single strain. CAGE exploits bacterial conjugation, the method by which bacteria transfer genes to each other. However, in contrast with natural mechanisms of conjugal DNA transfer, CAGE allows researchers to precisely control the genomic position at which conjugal transfer is initiated.
They divided their 32 MAGE-modified E. coli strains into 16 pairs for conjugation. Within each pair, a donor strain transferred its recoded genomic region to the recipient strain. This recipient effectively then carried the donated region (with 10 TAG-TAA replacements) as well as its own MAGE-recoded region that carried a different set of 10 TAG-TAA replacements.
This first stage of CAGE resulted in 16 strains each carrying 20 modifications. The 16 strains were then separated into eight pairs, and the controlled conjugation repeated, resulting in eight stains each carrying 40 modifications.
The aim was to continue the process of pairing plus conjugation until a single strain carrying each of the 314 TAG-TAA replacements was generated. However, the Stanford and MIT team's publication describes the results up until the point at which there were four groups of healthy bacteria, each containing 80 TAG-TAA changes.
"This study, which integrates in vivo genome engineering from the nucleotide to the megabase scale, demonstrates the successful replacement of all genomic occurrences of the TAG stop codon in the E. coli genome," the authors summarize. "We found that cells can incorporate all individual TAG-to-TAA codon changes, and that these changes can be assembled into genomes with up to 80 modifications with mild phenotypic consequences.
"In contrast to in vitro genome synthesis and transplantation methods that introduce discrete and abrupt changes in a single genome, our genome engineering technologies treat the chromosome as an editable and evolvable template and generate targeted and combinatorial modifications across many genomes in vivo."

8. Resistance 2, Sony - PS3
What we said: If you own a PS3 then there's no doubt that you should pick up Resistance 2. It's a solid FPS, with moments of brilliance and some top notch multiplayer modes. It isn't the system seller it could have been though. The campaign is the biggest offender, switching between mediocre and spectacular far too regularly, as does the presentation. The storyline and characters once again fall flat, with Insomniac failing to build anything to really care about into a sci-fi premise that has an awful lot of potential. There's plenty here to work with; we just hope Insomniac finally puts all the pieces together for the inevitable third game.
7. MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Sony - PS3
What we said: PlayStation has had some hugely impressive racing franchises over the years and Pacific Rift shows that MotorStorm is on its way to join the greats. We're still not completely sold on what we believe is an overly harsh handling model that frequently restricts the amount of fun the average gamer can have, but it's not an insurmountable problem. Once you're in the groove you'll find some incredible tracks to scream around at high speed and the online play should provide plenty of longevity. Some might see Pacific Rift as a safe follow-up, but with a brand new location, more tracks and more features, it's more or less exactly what fans wanted.

108 Answers to LOST's Supposedly Unanswered Questions
Satisfied with the answers or not, the answers are there. Sometimes the answer is Magic, sometimes it's the Island, and sometimes your question is dumb. But each question does have an answer. If you read the remainder of these and find that you still have questions, feel free to message me or send one to this LOST Answers blog. I still have some creator-approved things to say about Christian Shephard, Jack becoming a new Smoke Monster, and many other things that may or may not blow your mind. Ask me sometime.
But for now, on to the rest ...
When the LOST finale aired, the folks at fellow cutuppery CollegeHumor released a video of LOST's 100 lingering questions.
Here are answers to all of those questions.
Why did the Monster kill the pilot?
The pilot wasn't a Candidate, and the Monster was a kill-y kind of monster, so it made an example of the pilot.
What did Locke see when he first saw the smoke?
A bright light, some smoke, the heart of the Island. Beauty. Love. Life. And so on.
What's with the polar bear in Walt's comic?
There was a polar bear in a comic book Walt was reading. It foreshadowed the appearance of a polar bear on the Island.
Where's Christian Shephard's body if it's not in the casket?
It was assimilated by the Island and transferred to the Sideways world. There is more to this, but basically whenever we saw Christian in a suit and white shoes, it was Enlightened Christian Shephard who was going back and forth between the Sideways and Real World, trying to help the survivors survive and save the world. When we saw Christian in rags, that was The Smoke Monster pretending to be Christian.
Why did the psychic say that Claire had to fly on Oceanic 815, and why did he insist that her son had to be raised by Claire?
He was revealed to be a fraud.
Why did the Others want Walt so badly?
He was Special.
Who sent Kate the letter telling her about her mother being treated for cancer in the hospital?
A person who knew her mother was being treated for cancer in the hospital.
How does Walt know about the Hatch and why does he warn Locke not to open it?
He knew about the Hatch because he was special and had premonitions and powers and such. He warned Locke because many bad things happened in that Hatch. At one point, Locke had a gun to his head in the Hatch. At another, his legs got crushed underneath a giant metal door. At another, he panicked while the Hatch was about to explode. Much death came as a result of opening the Hatch, and Walt sensed those things. He was a dumb kid and didn't understand the full picture. So, yeah. Don't open the Hatch, Mr. Locke.
Why does the Smoke Monster make mechanical sounds?
It is the sound it makes. Why do dogs' barks sound like barks?
How is Walt able to apparate before Shannon?
Special Walt.
How did Walt communicate with Michael using the Swan computer?
That was not Walt. It was the Others posing as him to get Michael to come to them.
What is the deal with Kate and that horse?
I'm still not sure what the deal with airplane food is, but I'm pretty sure the horse was the Smoke Monster taking its form.
Why are supplies still being dropped on the island after the purge, and by whom?
To keep Desmond and Kelvin alive, so they could keep pushing the button. People in the employ of the Others made the scheduled drops so the button-pushers believed DHARMA was still intact.
What triggered the lockdown, and why on earth would anyone trigger it so that during the lockdown, black lights would go on?
The food drop triggered the lockdown. Why on earth is the second part of this question a concern of anyone?
What happened to the original Henry Gale?
He ballooned to the Island and eventually died.
What happened to the Original Timeline Libby in the mental hospital?
She got better.
Who built the four-toed statue?
Early inhabitants of the Island, of Egyptian descent.
Why does only one specific bearing get you off the Island?
Because it's a Magic Island, and its survival depends on very few people coming to and knowing about it. Also, Magic Island again.
What are the hieroglyphics on the Swan countdown timer about?
They were about death.
Why did Tom feel the need to wear a fake beard?
To convince any non-Others that he was an uncivilized savage Islander.
Who was Libby's previous husband?
Who was Libby's previous husband's mother, and who was her husband?
Who are the skeletons in the polar bear cave?
The skeletons in "The Caves" were Jacob's Mother and Brother. The skeletons in the polar bear cave were unimportant people from the past who died in the polar bear cave.
Where did the toy truck come from?
Where did anything is why come?
How did Locke and Mr. Eko escape the Hatch explosion?
The Island wasn't done with them.
Why couldn't Locke talk after the Hatch explosion?
There was a Magic Explosion on Magic Island.
Why did the monster kill Mr. Eko, and why didn't he just do it the first time they met?
The Man in Black thought he could manipulate Mr. Eko for his own insidious means. Mr. Eko did not repent and give in to the Monster, and he was no longer a Candidate, so he got Smoked.
What did Mr. Eko mean when he said, "You're next?" as he died?
Two things. In terms of deeper meaning that you're clearly begging for, Locke was next in line to get manipulated by the Man in Black and unknowingly do his bidding. But more importantly, he meant "Holy shit, this fucking giant pillar of black smoke just killed me, it seemed pretty pissed and it seems to plan on killing lots more of you, so watch out for that, you're all gonna die." In other words, "You're next."
How disgusting was it when Hurley was eating from that tub of ranch dressing?
The Island wasn't done with the ranch yet, and Magic.
Why did Yemi's body disappear?
The Smoke Monster took it.
Why does Danny say Jack wasn't on Jacob's list when in fact his name was clearly written in the cave?
Jacob had many lists. Some were of people to take to join the Others. Some were of people to kill. Some were probably of eggs and almond milk. As Ben once said, "All those listssssssss." The list Danny was referring to wasn't some full list of Candidates that he was passing around. In fact, Jacob went out of his way to not let Jack or anyone else know that Jack was a Candidate. The whole point of the episode "The Lighthouse" was that some people need to figure things out for themselves, and not be told they're special.
Why can't women on the Island have babies?
The Incident. Several episodes before the Incident, Ethan was born. After the Incident, babies couldn't be born.
What was that Russian letter in Mikhail's typewriter?
Who sold him the typewriter?
Why was the supply drop menu hidden behind a game of computer chess?
Passwords and mainframes and security and other hacker reasons.
Remember when Ben gave Juliet that weird mark as punishment? What was that about?
It was about marking her as a traitor, for being a traitor.
What's the deal with Jack's tattoos?
He has tattoos. One of them means, "He walks among them but he is not one of them." But mostly, the deal is that he's got some tattoos.
How did Desmond's monk know Eloise?
They met.
How did Ben see his dead mother?
She was an Island projection.
Who decided to kill the Others in a purge?
Ben, Richard, and/or Jacob. Some combination of those three.
What happened to Ben's childhood friend, Annie?
She grew up and died.
Why did Desmond have a false vision of Claire and Aaron leaving the island on a helicopter?
Well, Aaron did leave in a helicopter. The Claire he saw was just a really pretty version of Sawyer. BUT, in all mostly seriousness, the premonitions Desmond had changed regularly. He would see Charlie walking, see a vision of him getting an arrow to the knee/face, and then stop it from happening. The actions leading up to both Claire and Aaron leaving in a helicopter were altered by the Man in Black stealing Claire away into the woods.
How does Mikhail keep coming back to life?
He didn't keep coming back to life. He just kept not dying, thanks to Jacob and the Island's pretty incredible healing powers.
Why does Walt tell Locke that he still has work to do?
Locke still had work to do. Mostly moving the Island and convincing the Oceanic 6 to go back, via his own suicide.
Whose eye appeared in the window of the cabin?
The Island, Life, Everyone, and so on. Actually, see earlier for all cabin-related information.
Where did Miles get that picture of Ben?
Charles Widmore, or an employee of Charles Widmore. Probably Naomi. A person, that's for sure.
Who was the "R.G." on Naomi's bracelet?
There was a woman named Regina on the freighter. She asked about Naomi before she died. Probably her. And furthermore, what's the deal with there being a freighter? Who built that thing?
Why was there a time difference between Faraday's timers?
Because time works differently on the Island.
Who is the Economist and why did Ben want him dead?
A man who worked for Widmore. Because Ben likes people who work for Widmore to be dead.
Why was Ben so surprised that they couldn't kill Alex? What are the "rules"?
The "rules" Ben spoke of were not the Island's Rules, like Jacob and MIB not being able to kill each other. This was an agreement between the two, because they're not complete monsters. "Hey, let's not kill each other's daughters, eh?" "Yeah, I like my daughter." "Well, I love my daughter." "I mean, I do, too. I love my daughter. Obviously. You don't need to try to upstage me like that." "Just sayin'. Love my daughter." "Yeah, ME TOO." "Oh. Then let's not kill each other's daughters, how about?" "Yeah. Yes. Good."
How does Jack's dad appear in a hospital in LA?
It was a vision projected by the Island in order to get Jack to come back, because they had to go back.
How did the monster get into Jacob's cabin?
The ring of Anti-Smokey ash that surrounded the cabin had been broken. Presumably, he walked or floated into the cabin. Maybe sashayed. Dunno.
Why did Ghost Horace direct Locke to the cabin?
The Island gave Locke the vision so he could find the cabin to lead to the world being saved.
Why did the Oceanic Six lie and name Charlie, Boone and Libby as the other survivors? What's the logic in that?
Partly out of respect for the dead. Everyone else was potentially still alive. If you're going to lie, sprinkle some truth and seemingly random details in there to make it more believable. As they explained what happened and spoke of Charlie and Boone and Libby, they didn't have to fake any emotion to sell the story. Also, the characters did the thing because that's the thing they did. That's an answer, too.
Why does Miles decide to stay on the Island?
Because he's a wise-cracking loose cannon who plays by his own set of rules. Also, he can talk to dead people, and here he is on Magic Island, home of the Whispers, aka Dead People. There is much to explore here on this incredibly fascinating Magic Island. There is nothing for him back in the real world. Why not stay here on Super Magic Island?
What's the deal with the frozen wheel? It combines light and water?
Yes. What's the deal with frozen airplane food?
Why does Ben insist that the Oceanic Six, as well as Locke, have to return to the Island?
Because they do.
Why don't the rules of time travel apply to Desmond?
He turned the Failsafe Key in the Hatch and was blasted with magnetic, nuclear and Magic Life radiation. Magic powers and so on.
Who are the men who tried to kidnap Sayid and Hurley, but got thrown into a dishwasher full of knives?
Goons. Hired goons.
Ben asks his butcher friend who was watching Locke's body if Gabriel and Jeffrey have checked in yet. Who are these people?
Other Others who live off the Island. The other Others who are working together to return the Oceanic Six and Locke to the Island.
When the gang was unstuck in time, who was that shooting at them from the outrigger?
People from the Ajira plane. The people were heavily armed, and we saw the outrigger with bottles of Ajira water. We didn't see the shootout from the other perspective, but we also didn't need to.
Who sent Sun a gun and pictures of Jack and Ben?
Widmore. She was working with him for a while. Amember?
Who attacked Sayid, and why did he have Kate's address?
Goons. Hired goons. Gonna kill Kate later.
Why was the Smoke Monster at the Temple?
It was ... there?
How do the producers of Expose deal with the deaths of their two lead actors, Nikki and Paolo?
Paolo was never on Expose. Nikki only had a guest appearance. She was only OK.
How does Eloise come to run the Lamp Post station?
She knew about it because A) she was the leader of the Others for quite some time and B) her son Faraday built it back in 1970. DHARMA no longer existed and she's a crazy all-knowing time witch, so, yeah, that shit's hers now.
How does a pendulum predict the Island's movements?
The magic and magnetism from the Island is connected to the Lamp Post because [science and magic], so it pushes the pendulum in a magicy, sciencey sort of way.
Why do those returning to the Island need to recreate the circumstances of their first arrival?
To alert the Island of their return and so the Island will recognize them.
How did Jack, Hurley and Kate get from that Ajira flight to the 1970s, and why didn't Sun?
You forgot Sayid, and they got to the 1970s because they were Candidates and because of Magic Time Island. Sun did not flash back to the 1970s because she was no longer a Candidate, just like Ben and everyone else on Ajira 316.
How did Richard bypass the sonar fence?
He is immortal, thanks to Jacob. This is true.
How did Ethan go from a member of the DHARMA Initiative to a member of the Others?
He was a kid during the Purge. The Others don't kill kids. They take them.
What's with all the hieroglyphics underneath the Temple?
Some of the Island's early inhabitants were of Egyptian descent. They built the statue, and the tunnels underneath the Temple, and probably many other things on the Island. What's with things existing?
Why did Widmore tell Ben to kill Rousseau and her baby, and why did he then let Ben keep it anyway?
Because the Others don't cater to outsiders unless pushed or prompted by Jacob [or other beneficial reasons on a case-by-case basis]. Widmore's a bit of a prick and didn't want to deal with it. Ben appealed to his less prick-ish humanity, and Widmore gave in because he was surrounded by people who clearly didn't want anyone to kill a fucking baby, and he was expecting a child of his own soon, and it's way easier to say "Kill a baby" than it is to look directly at a baby and say, "Yeah, kill that baby right there." Short answer, though: Because characters have free will.
Why did Daniel leave the Island in the '70s?
He was helping design and build the Lamp Post station.
Why does Richard think he saw everyone in the 1977 DHARMA picture die?
Richard helped Jack and company get Jughead to the surface and watched the aftermath. During the Incident, there was an enormous flash of light when everyone flashed back to the present. To him, it looked like they died.
Who broke the circle of ash around Jacob's cabin?
I don't know, actually. Maybe a squirrel. The one true Unanswered Question.
Why can Jacob leave the Island but the Smoke Monster can't?
When Jacob drank the water, it imbued him with the power of the Island. He is connected to it, but he is not bound to it. Smokey was created from the Source of the Island and is bound to it. The Man in Black's body did not turn into Smokey. His body was buried in the caves next to his mother. Only his consciousness was transferred into the Island's Smoke. The Smoke is bound to the Island, not connected to it. The role of Island Protector is actually both Jacob and Smokey's powers combined. Their mother was a Jacob-like entity, but also a Smoke Monster, as we saw when she destroyed the Man in Black's town. Mother split her duties down the middle between Jacob and the Man in Black, which is what caused the whole mess in the first place. Eventually, Hurley the Jacob and Jack the Smoke Monster will die, and Walt will become the new Island Protector. He will have the powers of Jacob, and take the form and powers of a Smoke Monster, too. He will be one with the Island, as well as Protector of it.
Jacob uses his last breath to say, "They're coming," but who are They?
The surviving Candidates, from the '70s.
What's the deal with the pool that brings people back to life?
It's a pool of Magic Water from the Source, and it can bring people back to life. Why won't anyone tell me what the deal is with airplane food? Why!?
Why did Sayid come back to life with a British accent?
I will not dignify this joke question with a joke answer.
What is the "infection"?
It is the word used to describe people under the Smoke Monster's influence. Claire was infected. Rousseau's husband and team were infected. Sayid was infected, until the power of love gave the infection the business.
Why was the Smoke Monster confused that Sawyer could see Young Jacob?
Very few people can see Jacob, let alone the dying ghost kid version of him. Smokey thought Young Jacob was a vision he was having, because the Island's prone to giving people visions to mess with them. The fact that Sawyer saw it too meant that Young Jacob wasn't just some trick of Water and Light. Furthermore, do you really need me to explain why someone on LOST was confused?
What's the magic lighthouse about?
It's about eight stories high.
How is Dogen simply being alive keeping the Smoke Monster out of the lighthouse?
Jacob gave Richard immortality. He also gave Dogen this protective power. Magic powers on Magic Island.
What happened to the flight attendant Cindy and the kids?
They were taken and assimilated by the Others.
Why didn't Sun tell Jin to go just so their daughter wouldn't be an orphan?
Because she made a choice. Sun and Jin died together. Bad parents, great husband and wife. Oh, well.
Where did Jacob and the Smoke Monster's mother come from?
Where did Jacob's mother's mother come from, and who was her mailman?
Where did Allison Janney come from?
The West Wing.
Who finished the Magic Wheel that combined Light and Water?
Jacob, or someone else. Definitely a person.
What is the nature of the Light?
The molecular structure of the Magic Light is unknown.
Why does Tina Fey want the electromagnetic map of the Island?
So she can find where the largest pocket of electromagnetic energy is and use that information to find the Source of the Island.
How does the electromagnetic thing send Desmond to the afterlife and back?
Desmond was imbued with special Electromagnetic Time Magic, something the Island thrives on, and generates. The Source of the Island is "Life, Death and Rebirth." Essentially, it IS the afterlife. The Island and the Sideways Afterlife are connected. Desmond, being special, was shocked and filled with Electromagnetic Time Magic, which rocked his consciousness through the Island, through the Source, to the Afterlife, and back. I feel that it's important to mention the Electromagnetic Time Magic one more time.
Wasn't Sayid's soulmate Nadia, not Shannon?
No. Shannon was because, as corny as it sounds, Island Love is stronger than Any Other Love. More on this on LOST Answers.
Why weren't Michael, Walt, Lapidus, Eko or any of the other characters at the Church?
Michael wasn't allowed to move on. Walt had a different important group of people to move on with, as did the others. The group at the Church was very specific. They were the most important people in each other's lives, and they were meant to move on together. More on this on LOST Answers.

Where could I get the demos used during the presentation?
hi Dan
I followed the development of kinect since its launch. the previous version had the samples of microsoft project samples: KinectWpfViewers, and as I see in the video in this version you use too, but when I try to do (helloworldKinect) KinectSensorManager not recognize the reference, this reference refers to the class Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.wpfViewers.
there is a new update Samples.Kinect.wpfViewers project? I have the previous version and does not recognize the reference KinectSensorManager
Hello Dan, I agree With Makitomakito I can't find the KinectSensorManager Class!! Please leave a link of the Projects you used during your presentation, I'm really interested in the HoverButtons project.
@glider: hi men, its a new version of WpfViwers, you have to install Kinect Developer Toolkit v1.5.1, and view code samples (Install Samples).
Where could I get the demos used during the presentation?, specificly Skeletal tracking (detector like a mouse Xbox) circle when the canvas stay at icon. (animation icon)
Hey folks, I've uploaded the samples to a zip, you can see it on the session details page, but it's also available as a direct link here - http://files.ch9.ms/coding4fun/dev330_samples.zip
Hope this helps!

Editor's note: Amy Dabbs' column will return in a few weeks. Meanwhile, her colleagues will write about Clemson Extension programs in the Lowcountry. Today, Angela Crouch will explore the Adopt-A-Highway program. In the next column, Guinn Garrett will write about floating wetlands/ pond management for home- owners.
Special to The Post and Courier
South Carolina's beautiful landscapes are among the state's most precious natural resources.
With millions of tourists coming to our state each year, our scenic beauty is also an important economic resource.
According to the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, tourism pumps more than $15 billion into the state economy.
In the current economic climate, keeping South Carolina's highways clean and beautiful should be a commitment for each of us.
The Adopt-A-Highway program in the state has been a remarkably successful program in combating litter along our highways since it was enacted in 1988 in Beaufort County.
This success comes from relying on individuals who genuinely care about the beauty of their state and want to take responsibility for enhancing that beauty.
The S.C. Adopt-A-Highway program provides an avenue for individuals, organizations or businesses to help maintain sections of the roadside within the state's highway system.
Below is some information that can help you get started by showing how you can be part of something beautiful, too.
Getting started is easy! Any group that wants to join the effort must agree to adopt at least two miles of highway and participate in four cleanups per year.
A group leader must be chosen, and an "Adopt-A-Highway" agreement form must be submitted to the S.C. Department of Transportation and approved.
Trash bags, vests, important safety information and highway signs that recognize your group will be provided by DOT.
Businesses, churches, schools, civic organizations, and any other group of this kind can be part of this program.
Here are some guidelines:
Be sure to involve enough people so that pickups are manageable.
Solo adoptions are permitted for those comfortable picking up by themselves.
Youth participants should be at least 13.
Choose primary or secondary roads that have fairly low traffic volumes.
Do not consider interstate highways or freeways, as these are not included in the program for obvious safety reasons.
To get started, the group will gather at the site on a scheduled time on Saturday. After group leaders review safety rules with everyone, the participants will pick up and bag litter along the right of way.
Collected litter is left on the site for pickup by DOT personnel the following week.
Groups that participate in the Adopt-A-Highway program are providing an invaluable service to the state by removing millions of pounds of litter from the state's roadways.
"The tremendous success of the Adopt-A-Highway program would not be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of volunteers across Charleston County," said Donna Gueldner, chair of Community Pride Inc. of Charleston County.
In 2012, across Charleston County, four major cleanups were conducted in February, May, September and November. About 170 groups participated, accounting for 2,032 volunteers.
An estimated 51,250 pounds of litter were removed from 342 miles of state- maintained roadsides.
Volunteers donated 3,967 hours in an effort to make their communities more aesthetically pleasing.
Based on the 2011 estimated dollar value of volunteer time, at $21.79 per hour, this provided a savings of more than $80,000 to our state and local governments.
The Adopt-A-Highway program in Charleston County received the S.C. DOT Outstanding Achievement Award for adding 12 new groups during the year.
The county also received recognition as the recipient of the Adopt-A-Highway Recycling Initiative Award.

MODEL TRAINS short story
Paul McGann reads this and two other stories I think. They are from the SHORT TRIPS earlier tales. I think it's a quaint small story of the Doctor playing with model trains. There's more to it than that though. I think there are tiny aliens, clockwork passengers in the train and there's a link to the 7th Doctor's manipulations that just aren't the 8th Doc anymore and even he realizes that. A good tight little story that just about works

Editor�s note: This is the Herald�s weekly roundup of campaign news.
DENVER � Both presidential campaigns confirmed this week something that Colorado TV viewers already suspected: This is one of a handful of states that will determine who will be the next president.
The campaigns named their battlegrounds in messages to supporters this week, and Colorado was one of five states on both lists. The other four are Florida, Ohio, Iowa and Virginia.
In addition, President Barack Obama is targeting North Carolina, Wisconsin and New Hampshire, and presumed Republican candidate Mitt Romney is focused on Arizona and Nevada.
With 538 electoral votes at stake, strategists for the two campaigns are putting together maps that get them at least 270 votes � the magic number needed to win.
The lists make sense, said Geoffrey Skelley, an analyst for Sobato�s Crystal Ball, a national political newsletter from the University of Virginia.
�Winning Colorado is vital for Obama�s re-election hopes. If Romney is able to win Florida and Ohio, Obama really needs to hold onto states such as Colorado and Nevada in order to get to 270,� Skelley said. �You can expect both the Obama and Romney campaigns to pour a lot of money and resources into the Rocky Mountain state.�
Another poll this week � from Purple Strategies � showed Colorado up for grabs, with Obama leading 48 percent to 46 percent. That�s inside the 4 percentage point margin of error.
Romney wins money chase: Romney and the Republican National Committee outraised Obama in May for the first time in the campaign, hauling in $77 million to Obama�s $60 million. It was a monthly record for both campaigns.
Paul rallies troops: Texas congressman Ron Paul says he will have up to 500 supporters on the floor at the Republican National Convention in Florida this August � around 20 percent of the total.
�And while this total is not enough to win the nomination, it puts us in a tremendous position to grow our movement and shape the future of the GOP!� Paul said in an upbeat email to supporters Wednesday.
Although Paul never seriously threatened Romney in the primary, his backers have successfully won delegate spots at state conventions, including in Colorado. Three Southwest Colorado activists helped Paul dominate Colorado�s slate of delegates.
Countdown: 17 days until the primary election. 150 days until the November election.

Orlando police say a man injured during a shootout was actually hit by a car, not a bullet.
The man was believed to have been shot, but officers confirmed overnight it was a car that hurt the man.
The man's brother rushed to his side, saying his brother was an innocent bystander.
"I heard three gunshots, I stepped out here, and saw it was my brother from way down here, I ran to him. He was on the ground and I got blood all on me," Les Lu Henry said.
Two people started shooting at one another near the intersection of Jernigan Avenue and Colver Street on Wednesday.

Patrolman Thomas Oswald, 23, of West Ashley, is a newbie to the Summerville Police Department. His first day on his own (without a Field Training Officer) was March 7.
However, he brings a Citadel degree in criminal justice to SPD and an enthusiasm to serve.
He began working for the town in December 2013 after graduating from the police academy.
Oswald grew up in Clemson and, he says, didnt want to sit behind a desk from 9 to 5 I wanted to help people.
He has been assigned Patrol Team 4, night shift. He works 12-hour shifts.
Eventually, he says, he would like to be in the traffic division and, eventually, move up in law enforcement. Maybe go federal, he says, such as ATF or the Marshals.
His worst experience, so far, was his first dead body. Although it was a natural death, he says he had never experienced a dead body before. He had to verify the death so he could call the coroner.
His best experience has probably not happened yet, he says. I have helped push cars out of the road so people wont have the expense of a tow, but really havent experienced anything too crazy [good or bad] yet.
He has also thought about the K-9 unit. I havent ruled it out I would like K-9 work, I think.
He lives with two roommates from school and a 2-year-old Black Lab named Caroline.
On April 21 he asked his girlfriend, Mollie, to marry him.
He enjoys fishing and hunting, catching up on sleep and playing and training Caroline.
He played football while at The Citadel and enjoys watching a lot of football (Clemson). He also watches NFL but doesnt have a favorite team.
He hopes to join a church softball league soon.
He enjoys trying to cook and sometimes its good, sometimes not.
He likes camping, boating, eating out with Mollie and long walks in the park with Mollie and Caroline.
His life goal, he says, is to be happy, like what I do and help as many as I can. He would also like a family two boys.

Few issues divide Shakespeare purists from mere acolytes as cleanly as the basic question of setting: when mounting the Bard's plays, should one update the time and place? I tend to come down in favor of theatrical time travel; I like the challenge and freshness of dropping Julius Caesar into mob-era Chicago, or catapulting the shrewish Katherine into the Wild West, as CLU's Kingsmen have attempted in past seasons. Of course, the setting should somehow inform our understanding of the play, perhaps by illuminating a confusing relationship or revealing an unexplored dimension of a character. It doesn't always work, but trying can be half the fun.
Jessica Lynn Verdi's adaptation of Twelfth Night, now playing at the Camarillo Skyway Playhouse, transports us to a Hollywood backlot in the 1930s. The pursuer and pursued, the Duke Orsino and Lady Olivia, are her leading man and lady, with lushes Sir Toby and Sir Andrew Aguecheek modernized to the studio director and producer. The fool Feste morphs into a rubber-jointed Tramp à la Charlie Chaplin, the self-important steward Malvolio oozes into Olivia's toady agent, and as for our heroine, Viola, disguised as a man — well, it's not entirely clear. In the director's note, Verdi writes that the Depression-era setting illustrates "the severe disconnect between our disillusioned silver screen heroes and the suffering of the everyman." But apart from a smudge on Viola's face in the opening scene, deprivation is all but absent from the play.
The Hollywood setting doesn't totally hang together. Verdi can't change lines, and so certain intractable bits, such as twins Viola and Sebastian's noble birth, their rescue from a shipwreck, and Antonio's alleged piracy, create more questions than answers. But this confusion doesn't seriously detract from our enjoyment. Verdi has created a smart, playful adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most successful comedies.
Like the commanding silver screen stars they portray, Alex Choate as Orsino and Kelly Whitaker as Olivia anchor the central love stories. Cynthia Baker's costumes make them look suitably smashing. Whitaker proves herself an adept comedienne in the second half, and the staging wonderfully exploits the height discrepancy between her and Sebastian (Michael Beck).
Choate and Olivia Heulitt as Viola don't quite match their counterparts' chemistry, but Choate brings surprising depth to Orsino, while Heulitt showcases her comic talents in a well-staged fight sequence with the cowardly Sir Andrew.
The subplots, which I've always found the tedious downside to Shakespeare's comedies, become, in Verdi's hands, a delight. Sirs Toby (Chris Alton) and Andrew (Joseph Mazeika) display a comfortable, boozy bonhomie, although their bankroller status stretches credulity. Transforming Feste into the Tramp (Julie Fergus) is the show's most brilliant move. Theatrically, the fool exists alongside wealth and power, but is never of it; in cinema, the Tramp functioned as both a movie star and a social outcast. Fergus balances humor with sensitivity, poking fun but then pirouetting into a lovely ballad that offers respite and reflection for our characters.
But it's Brian Robert Harris, Skyway's artistic director, who steals the show as the dour Malvolio, bamboozled by the wily Maria (Kelsey Klingoffer) and his own self-regard into believing Olivia loves him. The sequence in which Harris discovers a forged letter, and his subsequent manic joy, is one of the play's highlights. Harris' leadership has provided clarity and coherence throughout Skyway's transformation, but if we're lucky, he won't stay offstage for long.
Twelfth Night, through Feb. 10, Camarillo Skyway Playhouse, 330 Skyway Drive, Camarillo, 388-5716.

The Wailuku Main Street Association is refusing to comply with an additional subpoena, calling it "unreasonable and oppressive" and adding that a state attorney is just "fishing" for information to "harm us."
The association's statements come after it has been under investigation by the state Department of the Attorney General for almost a year.
Wailuku Main Street Association/Tri-Isle Main Street Resource Center Chairman Thomas Cannon maintained in court documents filed last week that the nonprofit gave the department "everything" it asked for in its first subpoena.
He said that subpoena yielded nothing of "significance," and investigators found no wrongdoing by the formerly county-funded organization, which was under scrutiny for possibly violating Hawaii's nonprofit laws. He added that the organization has a "privacy interest" in its financial information and should not be forced to give it up.
"However, the never-ending administrative investigation casts a cloud over WMSA and continues to make it difficult or impossible for WMSA to seek new funding. This is oppressive," Cannon said in court documents.
Association officials have been ordered to show why they should not be required to release information sought by the state's subpoena.
This morning, 2nd Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza is scheduled to determine whether Cannon and the organization should be compelled to obey the subpoena.
In October, the state Attorney General's Office filed a petition in 2nd Circuit Court against the association and Cannon asking for compliance with the subpoena and to appear at a court hearing.
The subpoena of the more than 2-decade-old organization asks for items, including this year's bank statements, minutes of board of directors and board committee meetings, all correspondence or electronic mail communications between the organization and its accountants or certified public accounting firm auditing the organization's financial statements along with copies of email this year between any officers or directors of the organization, including the executive director.
On Friday, in the state's reply to the association's contentions, supervising state Deputy Attorney General Hugh Jones of the Tax & Charities Division said, the records and testimony sought by the AG's subpoena are "relevant and not privileged."
He added that Cannon, who filed the response for himself and the organization, is not a licensed attorney and noted that nonattorney agents are not to represent corporations in litigation.
The response further said that Cannon and the association's refusal to comply with the subpoena rests on inadmissible documents and hearsay.
In the filings, Jones said it's not for the court to determine whether the state's preliminary investigation findings have merit.
Jones noted that according to Hawaii law, the attorney general and other state agencies with prosecutorial powers have the power to issue subpoenas to allow the agency to "discharge duties imposed upon them by law in the public interest."
If the court orders the association to comply with the subpoena, Jones asked that the sought-after documents be produced within 20 calendar days of the date of the court's ruling or other reasonable period determined by the court. He also asks that Cannon appear for sworn testimony.
On Aug. 30, the state attorney general's Tax & Charities Division issued a report detailing its several-monthlong inquiry of the association that has received more than $2.2 million from the county since 2002. The association has been primarily funded by Maui County.
The report cited nepotism, lobbying in violation of its grant contract, conflicts of interest, inaccuracies with its IRS Form 990, little evidence of program services and a "terribly confused" structure of governance, among other issues. It also called for the removal of then-Executive Director Jocelyn Perreira as well as conducting some review and revamping of board functions and bylaws, among other measures.
Since the report was issued and its county funds frozen, the organization said that it was forced to downsize and laid off its entire staff. The association vacated the Main Street office in Wailuku.
In an Oct. 26 letter, the county informed Cannon that the organization's outstanding $243,000 grant had been terminated.
The organization had received one-quarter of the funding grant in December 2011, but it was informed in January that because of vague and inadequate financial accounting and a failure to provide requested information, the county did not have adequate understanding of how the county grant funds were being spent. So, the second quarter of future invoices for payment would not be approved.
The letter said the county would take action to recover anything the organization has bought with county funds. The county said that it had tried repeatedly to obtain more information from the organization.
Maui County Deputy Corporation Counsel Michael Hopper said Tuesday afternoon that the county has not taken legal action against the association and would await the outcome of today's hearing, noting that if the court orders the association to comply with the subpoena there may be documents the county would be interested in reviewing.
In November in light of the recent events, the county opened up the opportunity for small towns to receive funding through its $243,000 "Small Town Planning Grants" program for towns identified as Haiku, Hana, Kaunakakai, Keokea-Waiakoa, Lahaina, Lanai City, Makawao, Paia, Waihee, Waikapu and Wailuku. Proposals will be received through this month.
The request for proposals and application forms are available through the county's website at www.mauicounty. gov/index.aspx?nid=121 under Hot Topics. For more information, contact the Planning Department at 270-7735.
As he had done previously, Cannon contends in his recent filing that Jones "has not conducted a fair and impartial investigation of WMSA" and had "done the specific bidding of his star informant" and disgruntled former board member and chairman Sam Clark.
Clark has publicly spoken out about being denied key documents and information about the organization's operations and finances.
In the state's earlier filing with the court to try to enforce the subpoena, the state said there were serious concerns about the "financial solvency of WMSA," the "abrupt closure of its offices," "staff layoffs" and relocation of it assets and office equipment and furniture to other locations including the Salvation Army.
The association's filing said the organization's "primary reason" for downsizing was because of legal costs incurred from responding to the state investigation.
The association said it has securely stored "all assets of value" until a new, suitable office can be found and assets without value to the corporation were donated to the Salvation Army.
None of the donated items was purchased with grant funds, the organization said.
The association was organized to promote, preserve and restore the culture, history and architecture of Wailuku.

Pilgrims on the Mayflower spot land, Jack the Ripper kills for the last time, the PGA integrates, Rolling Stone magazine debuts, and the Berlin Wall begins to fall, all on this day.
1965: The biggest electricity grid failure in U.S. history causes a 13-hour blackout in northeast America and parts of Canada. Due to a transmission line failing between Niagra Falls and New York City, almost an entire grid failed, affecting 80,000 square miles including New York City and New England, and 30 million people. In the subways of New York, 800,000 people were trapped. By midnight, more than 90 percent of subway passengers had been freed. By 4:44 a.m. the next day, power was restored to Manhattan.

Shortly after September 11, 2001 - Noah was just seven months old and I was a stay at home mom- we painted the American flag on a big pumpkin and set it on our porch. Somehow an elephant costume worked its way in there, too, though I don't remember why. I think it was the warmest thing he owned.
Do you remember what you were doing on that day? Where Were You on September 11, 2001?
And such a neat update- here's a video of the students and teacher in the classroom with President Bush on 9/11 and where they are now.
