- Butter and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin with cling film. Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer. Put the sugar and eggs in a heatproof bowl, then place over the simmering water and whisk until pale, thick and doubled in volume. Remove from the heat, plunge the bottom of the bowl into cold water and continue whisking until the mixture is cool.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave on Low, stir, then fold into the egg mixture. Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold into the chocolate egg mixture with the nougat and pistachios.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf tin, smooth the surface with a spoon, then cover and freeze until firm. This can be done up to 2 weeks ahead. To serve, turn out onto a serving dish, remove the cling film and leave in the fridge for 15 mins to soften slightly before slicing.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, April 2012
Comments, questions and tips
This is absolutely delicious - I made it for our New Year's Eve dinner party. I also couldn't find the hard type of nougat and spent ages chasing round looking for it. In the end I made my own using the recipe on the Bakingmad website - it really was very easy. It makes a sort of semi soft but not chewy nougat which chopped up easily and was just right for this dessert. Will definitely make this again
I made this for a dinner party for 8 and used the pink/ white nougat which was absolutely fine ( and much cheaper). I served it on a big white plate with raspberries to one side and poured some single cream around the outside.....it had the wow factor and everyone raved how delicious it was. Defiantly one to do for a big group it would have served 12 as I cut it white thin ( it is quite rich)
This is a perfect dessert as it can be prepared well in advance and has the wow factor. I did use a pink/white nougat and it was perfectly fine so don't worry if you can't get torrone or don't want to splash out. Decorated with chopped pistachios and served with raspberries which cut through the richness of the chocolate.

That's Garbage: New York City Is Less Trashy Thanks to Refuse Recession
One mans trash is another mans treasure. A nice idiom, one my grandmother, a child of the Great Depression, liked to repeat. She also liked, "waste not, want not." Keeping both in mind, she strove to throw out nothing, expecting, that it would one day become treasure again. Thus the stack of Life magazines from 1957 to 1960 currently propping up our dining room table.
In the modern data driven world, the idiom has changed. Now, it seems, one mans trash is another mans consumer trend index. At least for the Independent Budget Office (IBO), who released a report yesterday, compiling numbers from the Mayors Management Report showing that the amount of waste produced by New Yorkers has dropped progressively from it's high in 2004 of about 4 pounds a day per person to just under 3 pounds now.
But, why? Read More

As Long Islanders pick through the leftovers of another Thanksgiving, we should remember to give thanks for the Island's venerable food chain that has linked area farms with dinner tables for more than 350 years. Despite challenges from the spread of suburbia and a high cost of living, the food industry remains fairly vibrant here. [...]

CHESLEY, Ont. - Public school trustees defied vitriol, threats and impassioned pleas by finalizing a ban Tuesday on the free handouts of Gideon Bibles.
The 8-3 vote at the Bluewater District board barring distribution of any non-instructional religious materials ended months of fractious and emotionally charged debate over the ending of the decades-old practice.
The decision, which follows in the footsteps of several other public school boards in Canada, was made on legal advice that allowing the distribution could violate human-rights legislation.
Bill Donovan, of Owen Sound, Ont., a father with one child in the Bluewater system, opposed the distribution because it "undermines the secular nature" of public schools.
"I feel most pleased, though, that the decision derived from the law of the land, administered by an elected board, in a secular fashion," Donovan said.
"It bolsters my faith in the admirable society we have here in Ontario and Canada."
Vociferous opponents of the ban had accused trustees of betraying their Canadian and Christian heritage.
Several trustees received threats and hate mail, much of it anti-immigrant.
As a result, the board took security precautions for the evening vote, which went off without incident.
Before the vote, one speaker, Bevan Lougheed, told the board that he wished on behalf of the Christian community to "explicitly condemn" expressions of hate.
"We just want to be consulted before you change a practice important to our heritage," Lougheed said.
Another public speaker said allowing the Bible giveaway amounted to discrimination.
The local chapter of Gideons International in Canada and some church elders had previously distanced themselves from the more extreme views espoused by ban opponents.
Still, the invective unnerved members of the board, which has more than 18,000 students in 53 schools in Ontario's Bruce and Grey counties.
Trustees stressed the ban applies only to non-instructional religious materials.
"Multi-faith content in the public elementary and secondary school curriculum for educational purposes will continue," board chairwoman Jan Johnstone said earlier.
"Bibles and other religious texts will continue to be available in our libraries."
Some parents have said they might take their children out of the public school system in light of the ban.
Gideons International in Canada, which has been offering the free Bible to Grade 5 students, said the organization would take a ban with "complete acceptance."
Johnstone rejected as out of order a proposed "compromise" amendment that would have sent the ban motion out for system-wide consultation before a final vote.
Another trustee, holding a Gideon Bible she once received, called it a sad day.
"The system was not broken," said Marilyn McComb, who spoke passionately against the ban. "We spent five months debating a problem that was not a problem."

Secret iPad Functions
Some of these have been explained before, a few others though, I'm just learning about for the first time. Hopefully others will like to know these steps too.
The interface for the Apple iPad was designed with simplicity in mind, but it has many functions that make its operation more efficient. Apple doesn't supply much literature with its devices to explain these lesser-known functions, but understanding the shortcuts when using an iPad can improve your experience dramatically.
Physically shake your iPad to undo the last action you performed, such as editing text or deleting an email by mistake.
Capital Letters
When typing with the on-screen keyboard, a capital letter can be inserted quickly by holding your finger on the screen after pressing the shift button and sliding it to the letter you wish to capitalize. The keypad will automatically revert to lowercase when you lift your finger off the screen.
Numbers and Special Characters
Instead of repeatedly tapping the button that switches you between the keyboard and the numbers and special characters screen, keep your finger on the screen and slide it to the number or character you wish to insert. The screen will automatically revert to the QWERTY keyboard when you lift your finger off the screen.
Address Bar
When using the Safari web browser, tapping the bar along the top of the screen will jump the browser back to the address bar at the top, so you don't need to scroll back up manually.
The iPad's on-screen keyboard has a button for quickly entering the domain ".com" when typing a web address. Holding this button down brings up a contextual menu allowing you to choose from a list of other domains, such as ".net," ".co.uk," ".org" and more.
When typing, double-tapping the space bar adds a period. This can also be achieved by tapping the space bar with two fingers at the same time.
The Apple iPad is a large-form toucscreen-controlled device similar to the iPhone and iPod Touch and is capable of running more than 50,000 applications available on the iTunes App Store. Its user interface was designed with simplicity and intuitiveness in mind, allowing anyone to easy access its basic functions. There are a lot of shortcuts and operations that aren't widely promoted; knowing the intricacies of iPad operation can make the device far more efficient to use.
iPhone Apps
The iPad is capable of running the vast majority of existing iPhone and iPod touch applications and can scale them to double their normal size to better fit the iPad's larger screen.
Rotation Lock
A small switch on the side of the iPad allows you to lock the screen in its current orientation. This is useful when reading or watching video content, as it prevents the motion sensors from automatically rotating the book or image.
Caps Lock
The keyboard's caps lock feature is turned off by default. To activate it, open the "Settings" application, tap the "General" menu, and enter the "Keyboard" settings. Slide the "Enable Caps Lock" switch to "ON." Double tapping the shift key will now activate caps lock when typing.
If a web page contains a frame with its own scroll bar, sliding two fingers up and down within the frame will scroll its content but keep the rest of the page stationary.
Open New Tab
If you want to open a link in a new tab, tap and hold the link. A contextual menu will pop up, allowing you to either copy the URL or open it in a new page.
To quickly mute the audio, press and hold the volume down button on the side of the iPad.

St. John's is located a few blocks from the Maryland State Capitol and is just a short walk from the scenic waterfront with its many shops, galleries, cafés, and restaurants; the campus is easily accessible to the cultural sites of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, and Maryland's Eastern Shore, offering antiquing, sailing, fishing, and other outdoor summer activities.
Summer Classics in Annapolis will be held on June 4 to June 8. Seminars meet daily and are held on weekday mornings and afternoons. Participants may register for either the morning or afternoon seminar or both.
To register: Visit Summer Classics page to register online, or call 410-626-2881. Tuition is $1,250 for each seminar. A discount is available to teachers; a multi-seminar discount is also available.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — All-Pro 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith has been activated to the roster from the non-football injury list, two days after he turned himself in to Santa Clara County authorities as he faces weapons charges.
Smith had been undergoing rehab at an in-patient facility for substance abuse since late September and missed five games. With San Francisco (6-2) on its bye this week, Smith could resume practicing and working out on his own, then formally practice next week ahead of a Nov. 10 home game against the Carolina Panthers.
Smith was charged Oct. 9 with three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon, stemming from a party at his home in June 2012.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said on his weekly radio show with 95.7 The Game that Smith met with 49ers officials Wednesday at team headquarters.

David Gunnarsson got the assignment by the New York Rangers to create this tribute painting to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the goalie mask. The mask was to be used by Henrik Lundqvist in the anniversary game on the 1st of November 2009 in Madison Square Garden. It was a magic feeling and a big honor for David Gunnarsson to get the assignment to create this unique anniversary mask. Because what would the hockey be without the goalie mask, this fantastic invention by Jaques Plante.It was back in 1959 that Jaques Plante introduced the first goalie mask, in a game in Madison Square Garden. The New York Rangers team gave David a brief description of how they wanted the design, and then David put together a complete design. The Rangers gave thumbs up and David picked up the airbrush gun and started the action.One side of the mask was painted as an old school mask, the Rangers keeper John Davidson's classic Rangers mask. It's a complete copy of Davidson wearing his mask, with hair and ear and everything...The other side of the mask was painted as a tribute to Jaques Plante. In the starry sky above the NY skyline you see the first goalie mask ever, and down below the anniversary years 1959-2009 was painted, naturally with Rangers script letters. David also freehand painted a portrait of Jaques in blue tints. THE design is framed by typical Rangers lines. And on the chin you see the original ticket from that special game back in 1959.Just as usual when David Gunnarsson is in action the design was created with a detail work beyond the normal. Using the airbrush gun(s) he created 3-D effects and cool metallic tints, with the DAVEART Holographix FX with Rangers look as the finishing touch that makes it all perfect.

ER at Surrey Memorial reopens Monday
Surrey Memorial Hospital's emergency department will reopen Monday morning, two weeks after a flood from a ruptured water main forced it to close.
Ambulances had been sending patients to other nearby hospitals, increasing congestion in their ERs.
Patients coming to SMH on their own had been redirected to an off-site temporary ER at the nearby Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, but it will close Monday and patients will be transferred back to SMH.
Also reopening Monday is the medical imaging department at the hospital, with both CT scans and two X-ray suites operating.
The hospitals' MRI machine is still being assessed for possible repairs and it's not yet known how soon it can be used again.
Patients needing MRI scans will continue to go to the outpatient hospital.
Fraser Health officials say the ER restoration and equipment have passed all safety and infection control inspections.
"We recognize the inconvenience for the residents of Surrey and neighbouring communities and want to acknowledge the outpouring of community support for our staff, physicians and volunteers during this time," the authority said in a statement.
More than 100 surgeries scheduled for the first two days after the flood were postponed and how fast they're performed is dependent on the urgency of the case.
Repairing flood damage and related costs are estimated at up to $3 million, although that doesn't count the potential loss of the MRI machine.

Sos Children's Village of Florida
Nearby Deals
View AllAbout
SOS Children's Villages - Florida nurtures youth in foster care through a neighborhood built exclusively for them. The street's 12 houses buzz with the activity of the 75 resident boys and girls, who were removed from their homes due to abandonment, abuse, and neglect. They spend their childhood with foster families selected by a caseworker and have access to an array of social and mental-health services. Most children stay at the Village for about two years until they are found a permanent adoptive home or reunited with their biological families. The Village places a high priority on maintaining family connections among siblings, generally placing them in the same house.
SOS Children's Villages sustains a connection with all its youth after they turn 18 through the After Care program, which helps them transition into adulthood and self-sufficiency. SOS boasts incredible success with this program: 83% of its alumni have graduated high school—33% higher than the national average for foster children—and 47% have gone on to pursue higher education.

Abstract: There is no doubt that the concept of volume holography has led to an incredibly great amount of scientific research and technological applications. One of these applications is the use of volume holograms as optical memories, and in particular, the use of a photosensitive medium like a photopolymeric material to record information in all its volume. In this work we analyze the applicability of Kogelnik's Coupled Wave theory to the study of volume holograms recorded in photopolymers. Some of the theoretical models in the literature describing the mechanism of hologram formation in photopolymer materials use Kogelnik's theory to analyze the gratings recorded in photopolymeric materials. If Kogelnik's theory cannot be applied is necessary to use a more general Coupled Wave theory (CW) or the Rigorous Coupled Wave theory (RCW). The RCW does not incorporate any approximation and thus, since it is rigorous, permits judging the accurateness of the approximations included in Kogelnik's and CW theories. In this article, a comparison between the predictions of the three theories for phase transmission diffraction gratings is carried out. We have demonstrated the agreement in the prediction of CW and RCW and the validity of Kogelnik's theory only for gratings with spatial frequencies higher than 500 lines/mm for the usual values of the refractive index modulations obtained in photopolymers.

Press and Media CenterIntroducing XTERRAFlex' In September of 2010 at the XTERRA USA Championship pre-race expo in Ogden, Utah dozens of XTERRA athletes gathered around Christy Newland, the VP of marketing and product development for LubriSyn, to learn about a brand new joint supplement – XTERRAFlex - which is designed to improve the quality of fluid that cushions and lubricates your joints. Newland's goal was to educate the athletes on the product and provide samples so she could gather quality feedback before their January 2011 launch. The input she received back was nothing short of inspiring - with overwhelmingly positive reviews reaffirming the benefits of XTERRAFlex. "I had knee surgery several months ago, and the doctors said I may never run again due to having little or no cartilage in my left knee," said La Kelly, a 35-39 division XTERRA competitor from Arizona. "That said (and being stubborn), I religiously worked on my physical therapy, ran with proper form and took XTERRAFlex. I'm back at 20-30 miles per week (to include a 5-mile race on pavement), and XTERRAFlex was a positive contributor. Note, I take no other supplements or anti-inflammatory drugs, and I plan to continue to take XTERRAFlex." The only active ingredient in XTERRAFlex is hyaluronan (HA). HA is the main ingredient in joint fluid, and it is naturally-occurring. XTERRAFlex, a once daily, liquid oral joint supplement, replenishes that joint fluid every day. "Your joint fluid deteriorates with age and exercise," explained Newland. "In fact, the more you exercise, the faster joint fluid degenerates and the more likely bone-on-bone inflammation will occur. That inflammation is a major cause of stiffness and pain. XTERRAFlex replenishes joint fluid, keeping your joints flexible and well-lubricated." Nat Grew, one of XTERRA's elder statesmen, found XTERRAFlex delivered on its promise, saying…"I am 73-years-old, a competitive triathlete since 1982, and experience pain in both knee joints. In October 2010, I initiated my program with two tablespoons of XTERRAFlex at dawn with 500 ml of water and some fruit before running. I immediately noticed a reduction of pain when running that has been continuous. Two months does not seem like a short time in my analysis of XTERRAFlex, because of the major change in my sensation of pain relief." XTERRAFlex is now available to the general public, and can be purchased online at www.xterraflex.com. Visit the website for more information and testimonials, our call toll-free to 1-855-299-7223. |

Found January 31, 2013 on
Celtics Life:
Two games into the 'Post-Rondo' era, the Celtics have been able to thrive off of ball movement and a balanced offensive attack. They have picked up assists on 46 of the 75 field goals (61.3%) that they've scored against Miami and Sacramento, despite the fact that the leagues leading assist man is not on the floor. The team's assist leader over the past two games? Well that would be one Paul Pierce, who has dished out 14 helpers in the two wins combined.
So is this ushering in the new age of 'Paul Pierce - facilitator'? Umm, no. Well at least not according to Celtics coach Doc Rivers, who called Pierce out for trying a little too hard to get others involved, at the expense of his own offense, during the first half of last night's game.
I got on Paul at the beginning of the game because I thought he was trying to be the facilitator – he must've read some of your all dumb-ass articles – and then once he started moving the ball, he was great. Because he's...

Puerto Rico beauty queen faints, uses crutches
Friday - 1/11/2013, 6:20pm  ET
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- A Puerto Rican beauty queen vying for the title of Miss America has modeled not only a bathing suit but a pair of crutches during a portion of the contest.
The Miss Puerto Rico organization said Friday that Kiaraliz Medina twisted her ankle and later fainted backstage during the competition's question-and-answer segment because of the pain. Medina later introduced herself to the audience by saying, "I'm here to make the crutches look good."
The Miss America winner will be announced Saturday during the competition's final round. The event is being held in Las Vegas.

I plan on attending at least three holiday parties this year just so I can show off my
frugal yet Fab frock, a pair of sequin shorties, and a sassy jumpsuit. Yes, jumpsuits lean on the daring side, but they're just so slick. Cuts and colors range from silky cropped styles to wide-legged wonders, so pick your pleasure. May I suggest wearing one, like this tailored Wink Black Stretch Cotton Jumpsuit ($223, originally $297), to a cocktail party or upscale dinner? I love the bustier-inspired silhouette. Don't forget to adorn with dazzling accessories and some festive footwear!

Obama Welcomes Paul Ryan to the Race
President Barack Obama welcomed Rep. Paul Ryan to the presidential contest Sunday, praising him personally but saying his economic vision is fundamentally wrong.
After complaining about "top down" economics of Republicans in Washington, he segued to his opponents.
"This kind of top down economics is central to Governor Romney and it is central to his running mate," Mr. Obama said in his first comments since Republican Mitt Romney announced Saturday that Mr. Ryan was his choice for vice president. The president spoke at one of five fund-raisers in Chicago on Sunday.
"Just yesterday, my opponent chose his running mate, the ideological leader of Republicans in Congress, Mr. Paul Ryan," he said.
But Mr. Obama was complimentary of Mr. Ryan personally.
"I want to congratulate Mr Ryan. I know him, I welcome him to the race," he said. "He is a decent man, he is a family man, he is an articulate spokesman for Gov. Romney's vision, but it is a vision that I fundamentally disagree with."
The event he spoke at was a fundraiser aimed at younger supporters, with about 1,000 people, with tickets starting at $51 each.
Earlier in the day, he held a roundtable discussion with about 25 people who paid $40,000 each. He will also attend a fundraiser for about 100 people at his Chicago home in the Hyde Park neighborhood, with tickets at $40,000 each. Two more fundraisers, both at private homes, were to follow.

Study shows lakes have major impact on economySeptember 25, 2012, 9:01 pm by James Walker Highland Lakes stakeholders now have more live ammunition for use when they engage in inevitable future skirmishes with the Lower Colorado River Authority and downstream rice farmers over management of water in the lakes. Burnet County commissioners and other Highland Lakes stakeholders Tuesday were briefed on the findings and results of a county-commissioned economic impact study and were told there is hard data that shows lake fluctuations, especially long-term droughts, have tremendous negative consequences for Burnet and Llano counties. Highland Lakes stakeholders have long contended that their otherwise sound arguments and complaints about LCRAs management of the water in the lakes were lost on decisionmakers because of a lack of data. Policies such as continuing to send large amounts of water to rice farmers in Matagorda, Wharton and Colorado counties, even in times of severe drought and low lake levels, were devastating to Highland Lakes residents, businesses and property owners, they argued. The results of the economic impact study give weight and authenticity to those arguments, said Pix Howell, a community planning consultant who worked with the Austin firm TXP to compile the study. "This has long been the biggest missing piece for Highland Lakes stakeholders in their argument for better management of the water in the lakes, Howell told the commissioners at their Tuesday meeting. "This is a baseline study of what happens when the lake levels fluctuate. "Its baseline information that you can use when talking to influential people. Central Texas Water Coalition President Jo Karr Tedder, who led the recent months-long effort by Highland Lakes interests to convince the LCRA board of directors to accept historic changes in the authoritys water management plan, was happy with the results of the economic impact study. For the full story, see Wednesdays Bulletin. Reader CommentsIt's tough to balance the needs of the estuary verses the needs of the lakes Why are we sending billions of gallons of water to the rice farmers in Matagorda, Wharton and Colorado Counties? Let them eat cake and grow jalapeno peppers. |

Historical Traveller Reviews of Estherea Hotel
Best Location, Nice Hotel
from Keith_RichardsThe Hotel: I had booked a canal view room for the two of us (left the kids at home / Amsterdam is not really the place for young children on holiday)... I paid the little extra for the canal view... good move - good sized room, great view to wake up to, small bathroom, but clean. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but does have a small bar and a good breakfast room. Recently refurbished to deliver the 4-star welcome, but the room was 3-star... saying that the location was 5-star. Free Tea/Coffee/Hot-Chocolate 24/7... might not be much but makes a huge difference when staying in a hotel and keeping your costs within reason.
The Staff: Sorry to say I agree with some of the other remarks... when we arrived the guy on the desk was very cold, but not rude - not typical of Dutch people... but the girls on front of desk during the day very welcoming. The last two days saw a different guy on the desk and he was fine... I would retun to this hotel no problem, I would also recommend staying there if this is your first visit.
Location: Can't help banging this one home... have a look on a map before you arrive - you will be close to everything, have relaxing days feeling very safe day or night (this I can't say about Dam Square or the area behind it, you can feel the under-tow of exploitation and pick-pocketing).
Tip: Book popular venues, especially good local restaurants in advance (the hotel staff can do this for you) - we were fine as the end of April is still low season, but everything was pretty much booked to full capacity (not sure I would like it in the summer)OR don't worry about it and spend time in the many good bars which do just as good food. As for museums/boat trips... these were busy - not too busy, but I guess if your coming peak season then you're up against all the package tippers in their thousands.
Enough said - must get on - enjoy your trip... the Estherea is remarkable for what is a B&B!
Excellent Location
from katkearsleyWould go again
from Lizh73The staff were very friendly, particularly in view of the fact that I got a bug and was very, very ill on our first night - they were very solicitous and kept asking me if I was ok after that! Breakfast was excellent - plentiful and fresh.
The hotel is in a fantastic location, quiet and peaceful on the canalside, with lots of bars/restaurants nearby. Try 'Broodje Bert' on the corner one block up for fantastic toasties, sandwiches etc. The Indonesian restaurant one street over is very good also.
Just lovely
from A TripAdvisor MemberThe hotel lobby and lift area was being rennovated during our visit. This disruption was minimal to guests (porters carried luggage up the stairs).
Would definately stay there again.

from A TripAdvisor MemberExcllent location, lovely hotel
from Paul TarmasTop Local Tips for Amsterdam
Stay In And Spoil Yourself.. or Another! There is a supermarket just behind the hotel, grab a few of your favourite bits, you know, strawberries and chocolate sauce and spoil your other half in the hotel for a night :D
Fabulous restaurants All located on Spuistraat were three excellent restaurants: Haesje Claes (good Dutch food, try the stampot!) Kantjil & de Tijger (great Indonesian food, we had the rijsttafel for two, a 13 dish feast with a taste of many different items), and D'Vjff Vlieghen ("The Five Flies") What an experience here; 9 dining rooms all with different themes (we were in the Rembrandt Room) and delicious food. Excellent service and what an atmosphere! Cafe Luxembourg also on Spuistraat was a very nice cafe in a nice little square.
Visiting with kids Amsterdam is great for kids (ours aged 9, 7 and 4). All restaurants very welcoming, including the smartest. Easy walking distance between attractions. Many museums are free - except Nemo (11.5 euros per person). Didn't even see the red light district so don't be put off!

Burlington rockers Rough Francis are celebrating the release of their new album 'Maximum Soul Power' with a hometown show at 9 p.m. Friday at ArtsRiot. 'What's that?' you might be saying. '
The title of the show is 'Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda,' which reflects the material Patti LuPone will sing at her concert in Burlington at 8 p.m. Friday.
Ellen DeGeneres' celeb-studded selfie from the most-watched Oscars telecast in a decade was a landmark social media moment at a time online conversation is boosting television viewership and vice versa.
Directed by British director Steve McQueen, the film is based on a true story and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Solomon Northup, a free man who was kidnapped into slavery in the South. It is the first film directed by a black filmmaker to win the best picture Oscar.
'The movie is an accurate and chilling portrayl of what the captain and crew endured and underscores the dangers merchant mariners face everyday on the high seas,' says Capt. James Staples, union spokesperson.

Take the over-the-top drama of opera and the tragedy of Shakespeare and you've got 'Sweeney Todd,' the Stephen Sondheim musical staged in daring fashion by Champlain Theatre.
It's time for Mardi Gras, and even though the phrase translates from French to 'Fat Tuesday' it doesn't mean you can't throw a big party on the weekend.
This week's two big concerts are sold out. (That's what makes them so big.) The first happens at 8 p.m.
After working with a group of passionate young adults on a campaign, Vermont artist Kate Gridley was inspired to do salon-sized oil paintings of those in the in-between years who may not come from well-heeled families. Gridley said, 'It's such a rich time. There's so much going on.'
When bass player Stanley Clarke talks about the two teenagers in his band that he'll bring to this week's show in Vermont, he uses the word just about every jazz musician uses to describe what they all have in common: language.
Maybe you'd enjoy the works of William Shakespeare more if they weren't so, well, scripted. Or, for that matter, well-scripted.
The Flynn Center and the University of Vermont Lane Series combine a couple of times a year to present shows that typically appeal to both of their audiences. One such concert happens at the Flynn at 8 p.m.
Talk can only get the four men of 'Four Beers' in trouble. The comedy-drama by New York-based playwright David Van Vleck Jr. opens Thursday and runs through Sunday in a production by the Middlebury Community Players.

The members of the Vermont jazz-fusion group Eight 02 were feeling pretty good about reaction to their recent CD 'Drive.' The five-song mini-album fared well on jazz radio-play charts around the country and gave the four musicians the confidence to approach one of the band's heroes, renowned California-based musician Jeff Lorber.
The music series 'P.M. Sundays: Poets and Players' continues at the Richmond Free Library with Annabelle Chvostek, the Canadian singer-songwriter formerly of the folk-bluegrass group The Wailin' Jennys. The performance begins at 4 p.m. Sunday.

Despite dramatic demos and a wave of automation products from vendors large and small, storage managers aren't rushing to automate their storage. To begin with, they aren't sure they're ready to trust their storage to application-to-spindle automation. While they like the savings that come from reducing labor, they want to keep control. They're also concerned about the difficulties of using these tools, and despite the embrace of the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) by most vendors, the challenges of multivendor interoperability remain daunting. Setting up anything but the most simplistic automation is tricky. Automation will happen, but in gradual steps, starting with no-brainers like automated tape backup and then moving on to automating discovery.
Requires Free Membership to View
To automate or not
"You have to walk before you run," says Dennis Martin, senior analyst, The Evaluator Group, Greenwood Village, CO. That means first automating basic storage tasks such as backup, storage resource management (SRM) or problem alerting. Complex tasks such as provisioning--which can require a dozen or more steps--are best left until later. "Everybody wants to automate, but most customers are not ready to go that far," says Karen Dutch, Softek's vice president and general manager for open-systems solutions. In response, the company stopped marketing Provisioner, its automated provisioning product, and is putting its resources into its basic SRM products such as Softek Storage Manager and Softek SANView, which do basic SRM and resource discovery.
"Our top management would like to see automated provisioning and things like that, but it is kind of dangerous," says a North American information services analyst at a giant international grocery retailer. "Once you set up something like that, you start to lose control. I want to know what's going to happen before it does anything."
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) has similar concerns about control. It uses Hewlett-Packard Co.'s (HP) SAN Element Manager to automate its storage operations, particularly for troubleshooting and problem detection. It stops short, however, of trying to automate the actual storage allocation. "We set thresholds to alert us when we get to, say, 80% on a LUN for a particular database. But I don't want it to automatically provision more storage at that point. I want somebody to go and sit with the DBA and figure things out," says Firooz Ghassemi, disaster recovery and HIPAA security officer at SAG's Burbank, CA, location.
Others question the value of automation. "The question is not whether to automate storage provisioning, but if doing so provides value, which means providing a better service level at a lower cost," says Robert Shinn, principal, State Street Global Advisors, Boston.

Every village must make its own arrangements with the spirit world, and they depend upon wise men and women to speak to those spirits and the primal forces they command. These people are witch doctors, and they use the powers of the spirit world to strike down their enemies with fire, lightning, spirit, and earth.
These are powerful forces, and each witch doctor chooses how to use them. Some demand service or payment for their intercession with the spirits. Others wander like nomads and deal with the creatures that threaten the places they visit. Some, eternally loyal to their duty, are patient protectors of sacred places. These powers are raw and primal -- unrefined and crude, some say -- but you understand their power. It is up to you how you will use it.
This is the Witch Doctor player class, the most ambitious undertaking yet from the minds at One Bad Egg. Author Rob Donoghue brings you a brand-new, fully-formed player class featuring:

Facts about the Russian language
Lesnoe Ozero, Concordia Language Village's Russian Language Village, is located in beautiful Bemidji, MN. Here we immerse children (in the summer) and families (in the winter) in the amazing Russian language and cultures of the Russian-speaking world.
Why Learn Russian?
· Because you have a spirit of adventure. Learning Russian connects you to 153 million people who list Russian as their mother tongue and another 61 million who speak it fluently as a second language.
· Because you want to prepare for your future. Russian is one of the major languages of the world and is also one of the official languages of the United Nations.
· Because you'd like to understand your past. Maybe you have family or friends with Russian heritage. Learning about Russian language and culture will give you a deep appreciation for the people who live in this vast region that spans 11 times zones and borders 16 countries.
· Because you like having fun! Give your curiosity and your sense of fun free reign as you savor pelmeni, play shakhmaty, or greet your new friends with "Kak dela?" Authentic Russian activities mixed with camping favorites like canoeing, swimming, and marshmallow roasting guarantee that every minute of your experience will be a treasured memory in the making.
Music and Dance Styles
The Russian-speaking world features a diverse array of traditional music and dance. Even Russian folk songs are full of Romany (gypsy) and Jewish influences. Traditional Russian dances include the troika, at three-person dance that is named after a sled drawn by three horses, and khorobushka or korobeiniki, a dance in pairs set to a traditional tune. Some of the most famous traditional Russian instruments are the balalaika, a three-stringed triangular guitar, and the domra, a four- or five-stringed instrument used to play melody.
During the late Soviet era, Russian rock groups like Nautilius Pompilios, Kino, and DDT arrived on the scene, to the great distress of the Soviet authorities. After a brief period in the 90s when the music scene was dominated by pop and dance music, rock reggae and other styles are experiencing a resurgence.
Crafts/Folk Art
The most famous Russian folk art items are probably Matryoshki, or nesting dolls. Other folk art — generally referred to by the name of the city where it is traditionally produced — includes khokhloma, or red and gold lacquer painting; palekh, black lacquer painting; gzhel, blue and white ceramics; carved and painted wooden toys; and brightly colored toys made of clay. Shawls are also a traditional folk art, with different regions known for different styles — the most popular being the flowered shawls from Pavlovskii Posad and delicate knit goat's wool shawls from Orenburg.
The most popular Russian holiday is Noviy God, or New Year's. This is an important family holiday, much like Thanksgiving is in the U.S. Everyone gathers together to celebrate around a festive table.
Maslenitsa, or butter week, is a favorite celebration marking the end of winter. Thin pancakes with various fillings are consumed in abundance, and carnival atmosphere prevails.
International Women's day, March 8, is also a major holiday. Like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day in one, this national holiday involves candy, gifts, banquets, and assorted celebrations of women from co-workers to wives to mothers.
Due to the many years of communism, religious holidays are not widely celebrated, although Russian orthodoxy has become something of a de-facto state religion. Easter and Christmas are becoming more popular, though, with both being celebrated two weeks after their western counterparts. Jewish, Islamic, and Buddhist holidays are also celebrated by members of those religions, which have longstanding communities in Russia.

New York Times bestselling author Walter Dean Myers tackles the social contract from a teen's perspective in his novel All the Right Stuff. In one of his most thought-provoking novels to date, Myers weaves together political philosophy, basketball, and making soup in Harlem, with the depth that defines his writing career. After his father is shot and killed, Paul Dupree finds a summer job at a Harlem soup kitchen. Elijah, the soup man, questions Paul about tough life choices, even though Paul would rather be playing basketball. Over the summer, Paul begins to understand the importance of taking control of your life. All the Right Stuff includes a Q&A between Walter Dean Myers and Ross Workman, coauthor of Kick.
A provocative new novel from the national ambassador for young people's literature and the New York Times bestselling author of Monster
Who's on top of the social food chain? How do you get ahead? Who makes the rules? Who needs to follow them?
Paul DuPree is working at a soup kitchen in Harlem the summer his father dies, just trying to get by. But Elijah, the soup man, won't stop talking about the social contract and asking Paul questions about heavy-duty things. Paul has never thought about this stuff. He'd rather hang out with Keisha, an unwed teen mom whose basketball skills rival his own.
Then Sly, a notorious Harlem big shot, shows up. Paul is both intrigued and intimidated by Sly and his conspiracy theories, and for once he starts contemplating how you really get ahead in life. As the talk of what-ifs turns into reality, Paul realizes his summer is about more than getting by—it's about taking charge of your life.
