These are great times indeed for us Stanley Kubrick nut cases. Since the 20th century claimed its greatest filmmaker in March 1999, longtime Kubrick aficionados have seen a wealth of riches: Bluray discs of his films, biographies, interpretive books, reissues even a chance to own part of his personal print of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
And now, in Los Angeles, we can rummage through his attic.
Stanley Kubrick: Inside the Mind of a Visionary Filmmaker is at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art through June 30. It is making its first appearance in the United States, having started in 2004 in Germany and moved through Australia and back to Europe.
Kubricks films have fascinated moviegoers for decades. Paths of Glory, his fourth feature, is among the greatest anti-war films; Lolita was considered unfilmable; Dr. Strangelove may be the darkest movie ever; A Clockwork Orange was blamed for copycat crime in Britain, so much that Kubrick took it out of circulation there; The Shining has inspired endless speculation; and 2001: A Space Odyssey is considered by many critics as the greatest film ever.
Kubrick fought for creative control for most of his work, and was involved in every bit of his productions.
The exhibit covers his Look magazine photography career, two documentaries and 13 completed theatrical films. And there are exhibits on the two projects he abandoned, The Aryan Papers and Napoleon, and for A.I., which Steven Spielberg finished.
American Kubrickians have been following the path of this exhibit to the U.S. much like children will watch NORAD track Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
The top delights?
Kubricks camera equipment, including the NASA lens used to film candlelit scenes in Barry Lyndon. This item is the subject of the longstanding conspiracy theory that NASA rewarded Kubrick with the lens after he supposedly filmed the Apollo 11 moon landing.
The Starchild prop from 2001: A Space Odyssey. On the screen it is way bigger than life. Bigger than Earth. At the museum, reclined in a display between a hominid mask and a space suit, the large-eyed prop still has some wallop. Its skull is cleaved, though, most likely because at some museums it was hung upright by a pole stuck in its head. It is not cleaved because it got too close to the Shining room.
The typewriter, axes and knife from The Shining. The axes are embedded in the wall inches from a mural-size picture of the unfortunate Grady daughters before their evisceration. Who says museums dont have a sense of humor?
The female-form furniture from A Clockwork Orange. After 40 years, these still have the power to shock.
A full-length costume of the hominid called Moonwatcher from Odyssey. He appears harmless after tossing his femur weapon.
Every room has something to detain the Kubrick fan: space helmets, furniture and models; a diorama of the Louis XIV bedroom found on Jupiter; a scale-model maze from the Overlook Hotel; the helmet worn by Private Joker (Matthew Modine) in Full Metal Jacket; clapboards from several films; masks from Eyes Wide Shut; and dozens of photos of actor Sue Lyon from Lolita.
Fascinating as it is, the exhibit has some noticeable absences: No HAL models, except for the fish eye lens meant to show what the malicious computer was seeing; no Danny Torrance tricycle; no Steadicam; no Lolita heart-shaped sunglasses; no mannequin parts from Killers Kiss and where are the tridents from Spartacus?
Of course, there are movies. Screens in several rooms show clips from the films or from documentaries about the films.
Viewing for the exhibit must be reserved by the half-hour, but that doesnt mean the museum will kick you out after 30 minutes. I spent two hours and Im ready to go back for more.
Richard Atkinson is a senior copy editor for The Tribune and a 49-year fan of Stanley Kubrick.

Some Knoxville residents got a flashback to the 1980s last week at a party honoring a visitor from Palm Beach.
Annie's restaurant and bar proved that Knoxvillians would go to the Old City to have fun, even if they had to park in the street and step over construction debris. This first effort by Annie DeLisle, a beautiful singer and dancer and the former Mrs. Cormac McCarthy, inspired others to open businesses in the Old City and made it the happening place to be. Annie opened the restaurant with partner Kristopher Kendrick when the Old City was a series of empty buildings either sagging in disrepair or being rehabbed.
She was in town last week for a visit with old friends and family. The British-born DeLisle met McCarthy on a cruise ship in 1965. They were married for 14 years and McCarthy left her in Knoxville when he moved to El Paso in 1976.

Great Britain's Ben Ainslie became the greatest sailor in Olympic history by winning gold in the Finn class on Sunday.
Ainslie beat Danish rival and long time standings leader Jonas Hogh-Christensen in the final race at Weymouth to clinch his fourth consecutive gold medal and write his name in the history books.
The 35-year-old replaced another Dane, the legendary Paul Elvstrom as the Games' most decorated sailor after triumphing on home waters in front of thousands of home supporters.
Hogh-Christensen came into the medal race with a two-point advantage over Ainslie, ahead of whom he finished in seven of the 10 opening series contests.
The British sailor knew he needed to finish ahead of the Dane if he was to win gold, but could not afford to sail him down the fleet as that would give Holland's Pieter-Jan Postma a chance of winning gold.
That said, Ainslie was like a hunter tracking his prey as they awaited the start of the race.
The home favourite did not get off to the best of starts, though, and he failed to control Hogh-Christensen as the fleet separated heading up towards the first mark.
However, Ainslie rounded the top-mark in fifth - gold medal-winning position - with the Dane 17 seconds behind in ninth.
The Macclesfield-born sailor had a great first downwind leg rounding the second mark just behind race leader Jonathan Lobert of France.
Hogh-Christensen rounded seventh and then went around the third mark in 10th, with Ainslie just a place ahead as he began to match race the Dane as Postma struggled.
The Brit was in control heading to the third mark and remained ahead of Hogh-Christensen, who attempted a breakaway on the last upwind leg.
The tactic did not work as Ainslie stayed ahead around the fifth mark, but the Briton was ninth and Postma had moved into second - positions that would have seen the Dutch sailor win gold.
However, attention from New Zealand's Dan Slater put Postma off towards the sixth mark and he eventually finished fifth, while Ainslie came in ninth ahead of Hogh-Christensen to win gold in a medal race won by Lobert, who took bronze ahead of Postma.
"I am pretty speechless,'' Ainslie told BBC Sport. "It has been a tough week.
"There was amazing competition, especially from Jonas Hogh-Christensen from Denmark, but this was the time to do it in front of a home crowd.
"I am just so glad for all the people that supported me over the years, all the people that came here to wave me on and all the people that have written in and supported us across the country.
"It has just been an amazing experience this Olympics and I can tell you that listening to a crowd like that makes a difference.''
Asked about his future and competing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, he added: "You can never say never.
"I am not going to do a Steve Redgrave here, but I don't think I could sail again.
"It is killing my body so I would be very surprised if you see me in Rio and this would be the best way to leave - on top, with a home Olympics. You'll never beat that or get better than that.''
Luke Campbell became the first British boxer to guarantee a medal by posting a narrow victory on Sunday.
Britain pushed Spain all the way but were still dumped out of the women's water polo tournament.
Usain Bolt retained the fastest man in the world title after claiming the 100 metres title with an Olympic record 9.63 seconds.

Tong High School is among first to deliver construction qualifications
6:00am Monday 13th January 2014 in News
A Bradford school has become the first in the North of England to deliver a new range of construction qualifications.
Tong High School was named as an accredited delivery centre by the Construction Industry Training Board in November, and a cohort of 72 students, aged 14 to 19, have now started studies across a variety of CITB Cskills Awards.
Courses are taught in the school's construction centre, which was converted from a disused caretaker's house.
Head teacher Stephen Curran said: "This recognition demonstrates our exceptional provision and offers a potentially direct route to employment for students choosing to pursue a career in the industry. It is a real example of the power of partnerships which are mutually beneficial and positively influence the achievement of students and our wider community."
Cskills started delivery on 35 new construction diplomas across the UK in August 2013, with Tong School offering Level One and Level Three Awards in multicraft construction activities and Level One Awards and Certificates in bricklaying, carpentry and joinery. The school hopes to offer Level Two opportunities from September and is aiming to expand provision to include external students up to the age of 25.
The construction centre at the school was built as part of the 'Classroom in Construction' scheme, designed to allow pupils to hone their practical skills in a real-life environment. One of the partners in the project was Bradford-based building and civil engineering company, Moortown Construction, whose quality and environmental manager, Jonathan Milnes, will continue to work with the school in a Quality Assurance Membership role.
"With youth unemployment at record levels, we continuously work hard to ensure our students are best equipped to reach their full potential, whether they're set for university life or the world of work," said Mr Curran.

The small amount of remaining material swirled into a disk. Some of it crashed together and formed planets. That's the main theory though most scientists think that's how it happened.
Scientists suspect there are many other solar systems like ours. And as of late, they had found nearly two dozen other planets orbiting faraway stars. None of them appear to have the right conditions to support life, though.
Project Ideas:
- Build a scale model of our solar system.
- Explain the forces at work when the planets orbit the sun. What keeps them in place? Are they moving further away?
- Study pictures from telescopes. Show the different planets in the pictures and their moons.
- What are the features of the planets? Could they support some kind of life? Why or why not?

Jesus of Nazareth is the Lord and Christ,
the High Priest of the New and Everlasting Covenant.
He has offered, once for all, a sacrifice to forgive sins,
and lives forever at the right hand of the Father.
He has breathed forth the Spirit to constitute his Church,
and he commissions his disciples to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth,
to transform the world from within like leaven.
Continually, through Church and sacrament,
he unites these disciples to his passion and glory.
Thus he consecrates them as a universal, a royal priesthood.
He enables them to accomplish—in works, prayers and undertakings,
in economy, politics and culture, in family and married life,
in relaxation of mind and body—a spiritual sacrifice acceptable to the Father,
ordering all of creation to the praise of God.
With a brother's love, the same Christ chooses men
from the people he has made his own.
He invites them to mold their lives more closely on the mystery of his cross.
By the laying on of hands and the gift of the Spirit, he appoints them to carry out
a priestly service in his name: to lead his people in love,
to nourish them by his word, to set before his family the paschal meal—
renewing within his Church the sacrifice of forgiveness.
This, the order of his priests, he signs with a special character,
distinct among charisms in essence not merely by degree.
For he, the Head of the Body, the Shepherd of the Flock, the Spouse of the Church,
configures his priests to himself, to act in his person in the midst of the assembly,
teaching, hallowing, and shepherding.
Thus in minister, Gospel, and Church,
in the broken bread that is his Body and the outpoured wine that is his Blood,
in service cheerfully rendered and shared, Christ lives in the heart of his people.
He alone is holy, and he makes us holy in turn. May his name be praised.

DirB, Directory Bookmarks for Bash
DirB keeps all directory bookmarks in ~/.DirB, a "hidden" subdirectory of the user's home directory. When the file ~/.bashDirB is sourced from within ~/.bashrc, it checks to see whether the ~/.DirB directory exists. If the directory does not exist, it is created. This guarantees that the bookmark repository exists.
Each bookmark has an associated file in the ~/.DirB directory with the same name as the bookmark. The bookmark file contains a one-line command, such as:
$CD /home/Desktop
The shell variable $CD is set by the g and p commands to cd or pushd, respectively, and the variable is expanded by the shell when the bookmark is invoked. In essence, the command g d is transformed into cd /home/Desktop, and p d is transformed into pushd /home/Desktop.
The DirB commands are implemented as Bash functions that do some error checking, determine which action is to be performed, and then invoke a standard command. For example, the g command does a couple checks before invoking the cd command:
# "g" - Go to bookmark function g () { # if no arguments, go to the home directory if [ -z "$1" ] then cd else # if $1 is in ~/.DirB and does not # begin with ".", then go to it if [ -f ~/.DirB/"$1" -a ${1:0:1} != "." ] then # update the bookmark's timestamp a # and then execute it touch ~/.DirB/"$1" ; CD=cd source ~/.DirB/"$1" ; else # else just "cd" to the argument, # usually a directory path of "-" cd "$1" fi fi }
The function g checks to see whether there is an argument. If $1 is a zero-length string, the user is sent home with a cd invoked with no argument. Otherwise, a check is made to see if the argument is the name of a saved bookmark and the first character of the argument is not a period.
If both conditions are met, the bookmark is run as part of the current shell by sourcing the bookmark file. Before execution, the shell variable $CD is set to the cd command. source is used instead of calling the bookmark as a shell script so that the directory change will affect the current shell. A called script would have a unique shell session that would terminate after the cd or pushd. Thus, it would have no lasting effect on the current shell session.
If the argument is not the name of a bookmark, or if it begins with a period, the cd command is invoked with the argument to go to the specified directory path.
Note that the source command in the g function above starts with a variable assignment:
CD=cd source ~/.DirB/"$1" ;
Bash syntax allows a command to be preceded by one or more variable assignments.
Most DirB commands eventually call cd, pushd or popd to perform the requested action. If one of these standard commands encounters a problem, it issues an error message to the standard error (stderr) stream and exits with a failing return code.
Note that because bookmarks are the names of their associated files in the ~/.DirB repository, they cannot have slashes in their names. If a bookmark cannot be created (most likely due an invalid character in the name), s will print an error message to the standard error:
% s a/d bash: DirB: /home/.DirB/a/b could not be created
An error message will result if an argument to either g or p is neither a bookmark nor a valid directory path:
% p missing bash: pushd: missing: No such file or directory
This will occur if the bookmark name is misspelled or if the bookmark has been removed. A similar error message results from the d and r commands if their arguments are not valid names of a saved bookmark:
% d missing bash: DirB: /home/.DirB/missing does not exist % r missing bash: DirB: /home/.DirB/missing does not exist
If an error is encountered, DirB commands will exit with a failing return code. This behavior allows other Bash scripts to use these functions and take appropriate action in the event of an error.
DirB was created as a set of Bash functions to extend the concepts of bookmarks to Linux directories. It accelerates the movement between frequently accessed directories from the command line or from shell scripts. Although it's a simple tool, I rely upon DirB daily and hope that others will find it useful too.

I knew I could export directories like that but it never dawned on me that autocomplete would still work.... duh. One track mind....
When I tested this, I could not get autocomplete to work with cd. It would work with ls or any other program except cd. Dont' know why, probably some bashrc or profile setting I used is blocking it.
BTW I just noticed something about using cd in Ubuntu Maverick that I "think" is a new (or just something I never noticed ) feature:
If you have a sub-directory called ~/test/test and when using cd you mistakenly type:
cd ~/text/text
It will take you to ~/test/test -- instead of giving you an error message -- if that is the only directory with similar spelling on you computer.
Personally I think that is wonderful...

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Product Review:
After playing with the SI-5 Gen2 speakers for few hours, it was very easy to envision the above situation. These ultra thin, crisp sounding portable darlings stood up well under volume testing, not distorting a Dolby soundtrack on a movie DVD off of a laptop unless cranked up all the way.
The SI-5 Gen2 speakers come in a clear, plastic packaging which holds the two speakers, two stereo 3.5 mm mini-jack cables and a USB cable. Setup of the speakers was very easy via the fold down stands on the back of each. While setting them up, its easy to notice how light the speakers feel together, they weigh under a pound and individually measure 6.5 x 5.25 x 0.75. One noted detraction here the speakers felt fragile because they were so light, which may be a turn off for some.
With the speakers set up and the audio jack hooked to a laptop, digital audio player or the like, the fun part begins. Sound quality during testing, as mentioned before, was superb. The SI-5 Gen2 uses NXT flat panel loud-speaker technology to produce quality audio in a wafer thin design, giving the same depth and clarity you would find in a traditional pair of decent computer speakers.
In addition to the NXT technology, the SI-5 uses a low power amplifier which reproduces bass sounds very well. The speakers also have a 3D surround sound feature which projects the audio from the front and back of the panels. This gave the illusion of no dead spots, as Sonic Impact calls them.
Overall, it was very hard to find much to fault on the SI-5 Gen2 speakers. The rich quality sound, easy portability and base price of under $50 make them a very attractive item. If you want something better then your headphones or small laptop speakers, these very definitely could be the way to go.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Weeks, Ramirez homer late to push Brewers past Astros
The Brewers shook off a nine-run loss the previous evening by beating the Houston Astros, 3-1, Wednesday night.
The Brewers took a 2-1 lead in the eighth when Rickie Weeks, batting leadoff for the first time in more than a year in the absence of Norichika Aoki, collected the first extra-base hit of the game.
And it was a big one, a two-run homer off reliever Hector Ambriz.
Aramis Ramirez broke his hitting slump in the ninth inning with his fourth home run of the season.
Francisco Rodriguez also earned the 299th save of his career.
Starter Kyle Lohse made a quality start for the Brewers in giving up just one run in six innings of work.
The Astros took a 1-0 in the first inning. Jose Altuve reached on an infield single, took second on a walk, stole third and came home on J.D. Martinez's sacrifice fly.
Astros starter Erik Bedard faced the minimum until the sixth, when, with two out, he gave up singles to Rickie Weeks and Jean Segura. But swinging on the first pitch, Carlos Gomez grounded out to end the inning.
The Brewers left a runner in scoring position in the sixth and seventh innings.

Sure would like to see another closer look at the play at first for a possible DP in 1st inning for Astros
Interesting lineup tonight. Weeks back to the leadoff and Schafer dropped all the way to 9. I tuned in late -- what happened to Aoki and who was moved for Prince? I couldn't find any info.Hide replies
Aoki is on new baby duty.
Tonight's game feels familiar to other poor offensive performances. I hope I'm wrong.
I'm on my way to the "watch paint dry festival" to join the rest of you guys. Have a cold one ready.
Do these guys get fined if they don't swing at the first pitch?
Altuve has now outhit the Brewers.
Lohse sure has some bad luck. Guess RR will say another Cy Young performance against us tonite. He could make a pre-recorded message about the Brewers and just play it on most nights.

Pretty sad state of things. To think 7 games ago I was thinking we could get back to .500 by the end of the season. I'll be happy with 72 wins at this point.

okay keira was born on 26th March 1985 the moive was relased in april 2001 that made keria 15 right my maths is crap but does that mean in 2001 she turned 16 or 15 and was 14 at time of filming or what
(FYI i failed maths at school)
i don't think its a big deal 16 is the legal age to have sex in britian and kids younger are already doing stuff so the scene made the film more "real life" so it doesn't bother me
but i just feel sooo sorry for Miley Cyrus who gets slatted very very unfairly just for showing her back or tummy in some off her own personal pics that someone stole from her. and vanssea Hudgens posed full nude Vag**a and EVERYTHING also at 15 why can't she get the same treatment its unfair when all kids are like that at that age.

Buxfer.com is unique in that it can manage group expenses, so that roommates and travel buddies, for example, can keep track of who has paid what, and who might still owe a little (or more) to make things square. Users can even settle their debts with their friends through the website, using a credit card, bank account or PayPal. Another unique feature of Buxfer.com is the ability to report transactions or to query balances via SMS through Twitter, though there is a slight learning curve as the messages have to be in a specific format.
Buxfer.com has a free basic membership that lets you track up to five accounts and budgets, and you can invite as many people as you want to track shared expenses. If you need to include more accounts, an upgrade to unlimited membership costs about $4 per month, and for about $5 a month you also get balance projections. For every person you invite to Buxfer.com, you'll receive a credit of $1 to your account, which can be used toward upgrading or renewing your membership.
Buxfer.com tracks bank, investment and credit card accounts, which is more limited than some other free personal finance website services. The service can automatically download transactions and update your accounts, but if you're worried about security you don't have to provide user names and passwords; you can manually upload account information or store your passwords and logins locally on your own computer. Buxfer.com performs account aggregation, creates spending reports and sends out alerts and weekly financial reports via email and text message. It also offers mobile account access via the iPhone and other mobile devices, including BlackBerrys. Users can also access projections of their future spending, based on past spending, bill reminders and upcoming transactions.
Reviewers like Buxfer.com's budgeting tool; it lets you create and track budgets and allows you to use tags to better categorize expenses. You can assign more than one tag to a transaction, but some reviewers have found Buxfer.com's use of tags to be confusing and sometimes inaccurate. Because of its capacity to track group expenses, and because its reports are very basic, reviewers say that Buxfer.com is best suited to roommates, college students and groups of friends who vacation together.
We found comparative reviews of Buxfer.com at PCMag.com, PC World and Lifehacker.com, where it goes head to head with Mint.com. Slightly older reviews at CNET, Kiplinger.com and GenXFinance.com also contain useful information.
Our Sources
1. PC World
Buxfer.com is for "geekier users seeking robust mobile support," according to Yardena Arar of PC World. Like other reviewers, Arar highlights Buxfer.com's group function, where several people (such as roommates) can share a budget. Arar also identifies Buxfer.com's unique function in which users can update their accounts through Twitter.

Eric Griffith of PCMag.com places Buxfer.com's app among the top finance apps of 2011, along with Mint.com's. Although this is a brief review, Griffith highlights Buxfer.com's group feature and IOU function within his write-up.

4. PCMag.com
Buxfer.com and Mint.com are included in the finance category of PCMag.com's best free software of 2010. Here, Eric Griffith likes its "easy-to-grasp look at your financial health."
Review: The Best Free Software of 2010: Finance, Eric Griffith, March 30, 2010
This excellent review evaluates and compares five financial management sites, including Buxfer.com. Reisinger praises Buxfer for its simplicity, noting that it provides easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions on how to set up your accounts. He concludes that "Buxfer is simple and responsive. If you're looking for something basic, it's a great place to start."
Review: Manage Your Money Online with These Services, Don Reisinger, Jan. 22, 2009
6. Kiplinger.com
Stacy Rapacon includes Buxfer.com in this review of the six best budgeting sites. She notes that Buxfer.com is most useful for group budgeting and tracking IOUs among friends.
Review: The Six Best Budgeting Sites, Stacy Rapacon, March 2009
7. CBSNews.com
Kathy Kristof tries out five personal finance sites, writes a fairly detailed review of each and rates each on a scale of 1 to 5. Buxfer.com gets the lowest rating, of 2 points, because although it's "fast, well designed, and fairly easy to use," it's not really free. She's under the impression that you have to upgrade to a paid membership in order to track investment accounts. That's not accurate -- the paid membership lets you track unlimited accounts, while the free membership limits you to five, including investment accounts.
Review: Money Management: The Best Online Personal Finance Sites, Kathy Kristof, Dec. 3, 2009
8. GenXFinance.com
Lauren Fairbanks praises Buxfer.com's simple layout and notes that it allows users to set up budgets, add tags (which function as categories) to transactions, receive an email if they overspend their budget in any category and receive weekly reports by email or text. Like other reviewers, she likes the fact that users can keep track of IOUs and pay them from the Buxfer.com website. The only downside she notes is that there aren't many different types of reports.

SEATTLE -- Wind blustered across Washington State Monday night and early Tuesday morning, turning the trees that still have leaves on them into sails, knocking them into power lines and putting hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in the dark.
Communities all across the region - from Whidbey Island down to South Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula - reported outages. At its worst, more than 200,000 customers were without power around the Puget Sound. Pierce County was among the hardest hit. For some, power won't be back on until Wednesday.
As of 2:30 p.m. the following outages were reported:
Tacoma Power: 1,000 customers, down from 54,000 Monday night
Puget Sound Energy: Power restored to 60,000 customers; 80,000 customers still without power
Seattle City Light: Power restored to most of the 18,000 customers without electricity.
Snohomish PUD: 7,500 customers, down from about 20,000
Peninsula Light Co.: 80 percent of its customers in Gig Harbor and the Key Peninsula (about 5,600 in the Gig Harbor area)
Grays Harbor PUD: All power has been restored to some 500 customers in the Oakville area.
Mason County PUD: All power has been restored to some 400 customers
At the Port of Tacoma, crews are busy straightening out dozens of cargo contains. Gusty winds around 40 mph blew down the containers, creating a domino effect as one crate fell over on top of another. No injuries or damage was reported. Officials say its not unusual for shipping containers to blow over during a wind storm.
At the Tacoma Narrows Marina, the high winds were strong enough to lift a 50-foot sheet metal boat house and toss it toward nearby homes.
"I tried to hold that thing back for about an hour, getting nowhere. I got some help from these folks. I called my neighbor and everyone gathered. We tried to do what we could with it but it was very, very scary," said homeowner Dave Harkness. "We're still unnerved because it's hooked up underneath the house, into my pilings. I think the tide's coming up. Keeping our fingers crossed and prayers going."
The sound of the wind unnerved many of the residents.
"It's pretty scary though it's come down a substantial amount," said Chris Fernandez. "But, the noise was horrific, we couldn't even talk. It was just horrific."
The Tacoma Fire Department responded to several emergency calls, including power lines down on a house and three cars hit by trees. The Tacoma 911 system also lost power and was put on a backup generator, but 911 service was not affected.
A tree came down in front of Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, blocking the entrance. The hospital was put on backup generators.
Falling trees temporarily blocked some highways Monday, including Highway 20 in Skagit County, and Highway 508 in Lewis County. Highway 12 was blocked Tuesday morning near Pomeroy by downed power lines.

Around the start of the evening commute Monday, winds caused waves to crash onto the side of the SR 520 bridge in Montlake, causing major traffic backups coming on and off the bridge. Wind also brought a tree down onto a Mercer Island home and caused scaffolding to topple against a Phinney Ridge building on Phinney Avenue North.
In Eastern Washington, a wind advisory has been issued from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. Tuesday morning. Steady winds are expected around 30 miles per hour, with gusts reaching 45 miles per hour at times.
Rain and more wind are expected for the remainder of the week in Western Washington. However, snow levels are expected to drop in the mountains, possibly as low as 500 feet by Thursday.

Stopped Bridge of Dreams Review – Lighting and Sound America
Posted January 25, 2012 at 2:12 pm
by David Barbour, lightingandsoundamerica.com
To those of you who think of projections as the cutting edge, I give you John Jeserun, who has been exploring the intersection between live performance and video for three decades. (Among other things, he's the author of Chang in a Void Moon, a serial for the theatre, which kicked off in 1982 and now consists of 60 episodes and counting.) He's a fearless, go-for-broke, take-it-or-leave-it artist, one of a community of theatrical iconoclasts who thrived in the '80s and now seem scarce as hen's teeth. Undaunted by the many cultural shifts that have unfolded since his early days, he's still at it, currently with Stopped Bridge of Dreams.
It's a perverse, mandarin work, sometimes gripping, sometimes infuriating in its refusal to make its intentions clear– but, overall, it's impossible to dismiss. It's inspired by the writings of Saikaku Ihara, a 17th-century poet and storyteller, whose "floating world" stories depict pleasure-seeking urban life of the period. The world of Stopped Bridge of Dreams, however, is as up to date as your latest iPhone app. The play is set on an airliner-turned-brothel that circles the globe, stopping only briefly in different locations to swap out customers. Most of our time is spent in the company of Mrs. X, the airborne madam, and Hiroshi, a male prostitute — this bordello serves all tastes — who may or may not be her son. (There's also the possibility that either Hiroshi or Mrs. X is dead, but that's another conversation.) The action, such as it is, consists of the characters — including Claire, who is working to raise money to buy a condo, and Eisenhower, a mechanic-turned-sex worker — taking part in gnomic, flat-affect exchanges while existing in perpetual flight. We see the actors live on stage, and also projected, though live video feed, on two large, pivoting screens placed over center stage. (The audience is seated on both sides of a rangy playing area; the screens often give us direct, close-up views of performers who are facing away from us or are placed in odd corners.) Occasionally, there are prerecorded sequences, pulled from a repertory of prepared material; turn up at the right performance and you'll see Buck Henry, John Kelly, or the downtown muse Mary Schultz on screen. (Alas, I did not.)
If you haven't had enough, there's www.bridgedreams.com, a virtual archive of material; a press release says Jeserun "considers the website an extension of the live production that charts the geography of the characters' relationships and histories along with commentary and video clips of performances, thus rendering each performance of Stopped Bridge of Dreams unique to any other performance of the play — before or after."
How much you will want to partake of all this is hard to say; if you're looking for drama, walk right on by. But there is something weirdly compelling about the atmosphere created by Jeserun and company. It's always a thrill to see Black-Eyed Susan, erstwhile leading lady of the Ridiculous Theatrical Company, and here, fighting a monster case of laryngitis at the performance I attended, she still made Mrs. X into an eerie and commanding figure. (All the actors are miked, so the actress was thoroughly intelligible, even when speaking in a whisper.) Skillfully working within the deadpan parameters of Jeserun's direction, the young, but clearly gifted, Preston Martin proves to be a match for Mrs. X in all her hauteur. Their bickering, delivered at a stately pace, has a strange theatrical kick all its own. There are also notable contributions from Claire Buckingham as Claire, and Ikechukwu Ufomadu as Eisenhower. All four inhabit the bizarre world of Jeserun's imagination so fully that you find yourself at home there as well.
In its lack of narrative development and its refusal to raise the emotional temperature by even the tiniest degree, Stopped Bridge of Dreams teeters on the edge of self-parody as it goes on. When Claire's mother shows, she first sleeps with Eisenhower then berates her daughter for her choice of career. Delving into Claire's employment history, she demands, "Didn't you like the job at the NGO?" Cultural brand names are dropped for no discernable reason: one character has memorized the lyrics of The Beatles' White Album and sets out to recite them, while Hiroshi peruses The Sound and the Fury on his Kindle. This is one of those shows that ends so abruptly, it's not until the entire cast has trudged onstage that the audience realizes it's time to applaud.
Not recommended for the casual viewer, Stopped Bridge of Dreams will grab the interest of Jeserun's followers and anyone interested in the pursuit of theatre as a kind of three-dimensional visual art with words rather than a narrative discipline. It's not my cup of tea at all — but it's not a fake and, in its way, it's an accomplished piece of work.

Hungarian Amway Distributors reach 50,000 kids!!
The Hungarian National Committee for UNICEF asked for the help of Amway Distributors to organize the Global Hand Washing Day this year in Hungary. And help they did!
Hungarian students joined the program this year for the first time. 250 primary schools participated, meaning the importance of hand washing was shared with more than fifty thousand kids and their parents!
Preschool teachers in Hungary give a lot of attention making sure that young children wash their hands thoroughly, but when kids go to school, they often become less enthusiastic on hand washing. So this program is focused on children from ages 6-10.
The Hungarian National Committee for UNICEF had prepared a small program package for schools loaded with information and tips on different activities and competitions. School classes could use this package to design their participation in the program of Global Hand-washing Day.
In each school, Distributors represented UNICEF and Amway. They had a number of important tasks such as providing the soap that the children washed their hands with that day and delivered program packages to schools. Amway Distributors also helped schools in organizing events, and participated as judges in a drawing competition.
And the Amway Distributor involvement didn't stop there!! They offered prizes to winners of school drawing competitions. Even better? If the prize selected is a UNICEF toy from UNICEF partner store, then the price of that toy goes to support another children somewhere in the world.
On October 8, Amway Hungary organized a press conference at a Children Hospital with attendance of Edit Kecskemeti from Unicef, Peter Gardus and Dalma Torocsik from Amway and two doctors, a well known pediatrician and a laboratory leader.
On October 15 Amway Hungary celebrated the day at one of the schools in Budapest along side media. Journalists and celebrities were invited to the school event.
Amway Hungary is eager to continue this program!

Dominating performance carries Raiders to second round of WNIT
Blue Raiders force 38 turnovers and hit 11 treys in victoryNovember 9, 2012 · @MTAthletics
Ebony Rowe scored 23 points and grabbed 11 boards in Middle Tennessee's 87-45 win over Kennesaw State in the first round of the Women's NIT. (MT Athletic Communications)
· Video: Highlight Video
· Cumulative Stats
· Box Score
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A combination of 38 forced turnovers and 11 triples carried Middle Tennessee women's basketball to a dominating 87-45 win against Kennesaw State in the first round of the WNIT.
The Blue Raiders (1-0) took control early and never look back as they picked up their first 40+ win since beating Louisiana by 52 last season.

Junior Forward Ebony Rowe
On defensive intensity in the first half versus the second half...
I would say coach was pretty disappointed in our defensive effort the first half. Yes, we were up, but we knew we were not playing to our potential. We should have stopped them more than we did. This past week, all we've been working on is defense. I think we touched the ball once this week. He was disappointed that we put so much emphasis on it this week and didn't show it on the court. I think my teammates and I really stepped up the second half. If was definitely stressed at halftime, and we came out and produced.
On expectations from Kennesaw State...
We didn't know much, but we knew they were going to push it, like they did, and we knew they were going to have good shooters, which they did. What we didn't know, they came out and showed us, but I think we handled it a little better in the second half.
On planning for other teams...
We're really just focusing on us. Instead of putting so much emphasis on our opponent and who we're playing, if we come out every day and every game and play our game, then we're going to win. We have confidence in ourselves that as long as we focus on what we do and do what we do best, then we'll be fine.
Interest in Top 25 polls...
We don't, but I'm sure the coach does. We don't really play much into that. I think as a team we kind of like being the underdog. We're not the big name schools, but we work as hard as them. It's okay if they don't respect us and give us those votes. We're just going to go out and prove to them that we deserve those votes.
Senior Guard Kortni Jones
On miscommunication in first half...
I think the big thing is recognizing what exactly is open. Coach was stressing that we needed to make it more inside out and not focus so much on the perimeter. It was kind of a miscommunication because we usually are able to do everything. And then when a team kind of takes it away, it's hard for a player to notice that. Once we started going inside and out, it opened up everything. Ebony was work and get her points and she was also able to kick it out once they came.
On getting the first win...
It feels good to actually play the first game, and you only have one first game. It felt good to get a win...a good win, especially that the second half. It felt really good to get that win under our belt. We're going to come in tomorrow and work hard. We've got a big game against Memphis. We know they're athletic, so we're trying to get prepared quickly.
On receiving top 25 votes.
We feel like we work hard and put in just as much effort and time as any other team. It kind of lights a fire under us. It's fine that we didn't get it, but I think by the end of the season they'll recognize that we should've been. We're thankful for the votes that we do get-we don't want to overlook that. It's kind of like they don't believe in us, but we have to believe in ourselves to get there. Our main goal is to win this WNIT tournament and I'm pretty sure we'll get in the Top 25.
Head Coach Rick Insell
On the intensity first half versus the second half...
We really talked about getting up in the lanes, talked about going inside. We had Ebony, Ice and Keke open all day in the first half, and we just didn't throw them the basketball. We got out of our offense, and it was really more us than them. You've got to give them credit though. They were oversized and I think our kids are a little more athletic than they expected.
On the play of forward Keke Stewart...
I thought Keke Stewart came in and did a very good job for us. We're practicing her very limited, limited minutes, but she came in and didn't miss a beat. She's so smart, and she's got so much basketball IQ that it's unbelievable. If we can get that knee a little bit more healthy, I think you're going to see a very different Keke Stewart.
On the next round of the WNIT ....
I really don't know who we're going to play. We've seen a little film on Memphis and we've got some things coming in tonight on Grambling, but I'd say that's probably going to be a pretty good game. They're playing at Memphis, so that's got to give them a little bit of an edge, but they have to come here and that's what I'm happy about.
On receiving Top 25 votes...
I think we've been in the top 25 in every poll but that one, and I was kind of wondering about that, because I think when you come from 12 on back, I think we're as good as anybody, and then they put us at 27th. It didn't upset them, but it kind of upset me to be honest with you. I felt like we did enough last year and we've have the same bunch coming back. I just felt like they were maybe not showing us the respect that we so deserve. I
On expecting to get votes in the Top 25...
I thought there were a couple years when we didn't get votes and deserved them. You've just got to keep battling.
