Empire Touring and YWCA NSW have announced the first round of Australian music legends who will be helping to raise money and awareness for YWCA NSW's mentoring and leadership programs for disadvantaged children including Big Brothers Big SistersTM at A Night at the Rock Opera 2013, at the State Theatre in Sydney on Tuesday, 19 November, 2013.
A Night at the Rock Opera is back – bigger and bolder than ever!
Featuring an all new line up of artists with a brand new set list including songs from musicals like Mamma Mia!, Rent, Chess and Evita as well as some favourites from last year including Rocky Horror, We Will Rock You and Jesus Christ Superstar.
A Night at the Rock Opera brings songs from some of the most memorable stage and screen productions performed by some of our most successful artists and is a once-in-a-lifetime show that lovers of all types of music shouldn't miss.
Who could forget Brydon Stace's amazing rendition of Bat out of the Hell last year or Paul Capsis reprising his role as Frankenfurter for the Rocky Horror numbers? So this year, we're raising the bar and you can expect more drama, more unforgettable vocal performances and of course some on-stage surprises!
Without further ado, we are thrilled to confirm the first artists set to join us on the night are: Glenn Shorrock, Casey Donovan, Lucy Durack (Wicked), Mark Vincent, Ciaran Gribbin (INXS), Doug Parkinson, Melinda Schneider, Catherine Britt, Monica Trapaga, Christa Hughes (Machine Gun Fellatio), Paul Capsis, Mark Gable (Choirboys), Paul Gray (Wa Wa Nee), Jeff Duff, Simon Meli (The Voice 2013), Steve Balbi (Noiseworks), Brydon Stace, Darryl and Harmony Lovegrove and Robyn Loau.
A Night at the Rock Opera will have you singing along LOUDLY to hit songs like Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show, You're the One That I Want from Grease, Fat Bottom Girls from We Will Rock You, Aquarius from Hair, Pinball Wizard from Tommy, I Go To Rio from The Boy From Oz to name a few. It really will be a night not to be missed.
YWCA NSW has been raising much needed funds for over 130 years to support vulnerable people throughout their lives - regardless of their age, religion or gender - especially at those critical times when they need help the most. YWCA NSW currently only has funds to work with a very small percentage of at-risk young people in Sydney and have many more on a waiting list.
YWCA NSW Head of Marketing and Fundraising, Nicola Reeves, said: "In the past 12 months alone, through the generous support of their donors and partners, YWCA NSW has supported more than 2,000 young people in Sydney by providing a long term positive role model. Over the last eight years, events such as this have raised over $3m in vital funds, supporting over 250,000 people."

Northland Nature: Warblers and vireos arrive
Like many other things this strange spring of 2013, the bird migration has been unique.
Like many other things this strange spring of 2013, the bird migration has been unique.
Earlier returnees of red-winged blackbirds and robins needed to deal with record snowfalls that were not likely in their plans for the trip north. Such a thick snowy blanket caused a much later ice-out than expected and this led to water birds landing in nearly any body of water that was available.
This resulted in seeing some unexpected birds in some unexpected locations. The smaller wetlands held open water before the lakes did, and traveling waterfowl found these sites as okay places to rest in.
I saw birds that I had not seen before in a pond that I frequently visit. It is not unusual to see ducks here, but this spring I was able to observe a loon and a red-necked grebe, not seen here before. One day, I came across five yellowlegs along the shore. After a wait of a few weeks, the lakes opened about mid-May and the impatient water wanderers moved on.
By this time of May, the migration has become that of the songbirds. Like the ducks, geese, swans, grebes and pelicans, they are arriving a bit later than usual. However, with some looking and listening, I have been able to find many of these small birds.
Songbirds in general are little, and they live up to their name with frequent singing. More vocalization is done on their home territorial lands, but some sing while enroute. Migration is normally at night, even though the birds tend to be diurnal. Each morning in late May, I can now step outside and catch up on the news of the next batch of arrivals.
And there is news out here every day.
At the swamp where the male red-winged blackbirds have been calling for more than a month, the females have now arrived. Here too is the trill of the swamp sparrow, while a song sparrow sings along the shore, a savannah sparrow buzzes from a nearby field, and the white-throated sparrow whistles in the woods.
Although we have a variety of sparrows in the Northland, it is the warblers that now show their annual spring diversity. Twenty-six species come by each year, with about half staying to nest.
Though it is difficult to find all, some searching can turn up a dozen in a day.
They tend to be small; and though some are colorful and a few sing loudly, most are not. With the leaves growing in the trees, they can be a challenge to see. Ovenbirds and yellowthroats may be the loudest as they sing, from the forest and swamp respectively. The black-red redstart is colorful, and yellow stands out on several such as Nashville, pine, parula and yellow warblers. Others such as black and white warblers and waterthrushes are less colorful.
Besides these minute birds of the woods, we have others of note. I have recently been watching the newly arrived rose-breasted grosbeaks and least flycatchers. While the grosbeak is colorful with a loud song, the small flycatcher is gray and repeats a two-syllable call.
Also in the woods, I have been seeing the vireos.
Only slightly bigger than warblers, this group of birds may also be hard to see. But unlike the highly variable warblers, we have only a few kinds of vireos in the region and they are not as actively moving in the tree tops.
During the last few days, I have discovered and watched three kinds in the woods. Each one of these vireos is named after body parts: red-eyed, blue-headed and yellow-throated; but each one I was able to
locate by hearing the song. All sing short-phrase songs, and vary in clarity and loudness.
Though the red-eyed is by far the most common, nesting in several sites in these woods during this time of migration, it was the blue- headed and yellow-throated vireos that I saw first.
And I'm especially grateful that the yellow-throated vireos will
remain here to breed as well. Not as common as red-eyed vireos, the
yellow-throat continues to sing its short slurred-phrase and I look forward to hearing them every day during the coming breeding season.
The songbird migration is a little slow this year, but dozens of species are here now and invite us out for a look. Each day brings more to see. Many will stay while others keep moving.

Here woulda been my logic for the purse.... You already had the darker bag from the Easter Bunny, go for a different pattern
...OR (to complicate things), you like the pattern of your smaller purse (from Easter) SO much, you got the same pattern with the bigger bag win-win situation |

DH and I spent a lot of time looking at the Dooney & Bourkes in HS in April. I didn't want a big purse, just a wristlet. I hemmed and hawed, and finally ended up with.....nothing. Now I don't think I'll be getting anything this trip because I'll see everything I could possibly get for Madelyn, not to mention Christmas shopping. I'm doomed.
I really do like the bag that you ended up with. That was the pattern I'd been eyeing. Question, in all of your research and all of your visits, where would you choose to watch Illuminations? I really want to get a good spot this year. |

For Illuminations viewing, We were in front of Germany. there were benches nearby. We staked out our spots just before 8pm and had snacks, drinks and walked through Germany a couple at a time.

I think that there probably isn't too many bad spots to watch it right?

The spot they chose was not crowded at all. I knelt along the railing so anyone behind us could see and also to use the railing to steady my camera.
I haven't seen the show since 1999. It's very different than from what I remember. It was awesome, I must say. After the show we all started our way up front. Now I knew it was going to be a mad rush, so I told Mom and Dad that Claire and I were going to go slowly and also shop a bit more. Claire still had money burning a hole in her pocket and I told her we could look one last time…..after all she was patient with my shopping. This was the last picture I took that night. Claire and headed into Mousegears once again. She looked around and picked a stuffed baby Bambi and a stuffed Dug that talked. We paid for the purchases and saw "our" sales lady and she came over to talk and ask how I was liking the bag so far…EXCELLENT! I told her! After we worked our way out of the store (it was a mad house) we walked over to the lockers and got my backpack out and then went and had the $5 deposit refunded. At this point in time I was just dead tired. I had the last day blues now. Nothing more to look forward too, the lack of sleep was catching up. I totally just gave in. Little did I know that my biggest mishap was about to unfold. It's hard to be happy when you have to get up bright and early the next day to go home. The only good thing at home was my husband. Claire and I headed towards the tram. I must say I really dislike the tram. It just doesn't have the same feeling to me as riding the buses back to the resort. We got on, with my arms filled. Claire had her new purchases; I had a big Dooney, a backpack and a stroller. I crammed myself into a row and just went into a daze. A few minutes later I realized a CM was talking to me. Claire was sitting on the outside of the tram and she needed to switch with me. I didn't even know this was a rule. So I tried to move, but it seemed next to impossible as I was wedged in and the people to my right weren't moving either. Luckily the guy in front of us grabbed the stroller so we could switch. We made the short trek out to the parking lot and got off. Mom and Dad had moved the van from where I had originally parked it earlier in the day. So I searched for the new number and walked down that row. We got almost to the end with no luck. We started walking back and still couldn't find it. We finally got a call from them and they told me the row number again…same row I was in…but no van. So they flashed the lights and I found them….several rows over. We moseyed over there and I got in the van and immediately looked for my missing phone. It was NOT to be found. I used Moms phone to call my phone and it went to voicemail immediately. NOT Good. That meant someone had turned it off. I panicked! I told Mom we had to go back into the park to report it lost and then I started crying….not just crying…..but sobbing like a big baby. The week had caught up to me and I was wiped out. We decided to drive up to the front, but I had no clue where to go…and the whole time I am trying to figure this out my Dad is sitting next to me saying things like "Why are we going to the front", "We need to get back to the hotel", "Whats going on?". My Mom just yelled at him…."She's LOST her $250 phone and we NEED to find it" How he missed this piece of info, I have no clue. So then they start to tell me to drive towards a security car. Where? I don't see one. Mom tells Dad he should drive since I am upset and I shouted a big NO! That would make me more upset. LOL! So they keep telling me to go to the security car and I couldn't still see it. Well it was behind a big truck and pole, so from where I was sitting it was next to impossible to see it. We did make it over to him and through my tears I told him my story and he basically had no clue what to do. He said go to the gates and ask there, so we did. As we got up there Mom told Dad to go with me, and again I said no. I parked in a handicap spot and jumped out and made my way up to the gates and talked to another security officer. These 2 guys were much more knowledgeable. They told me where to go and what to do. The one asked me if I had an Iphone and I said, no, a Droid, and he said, he wanted to warn me that it was very likely I would never get it back. Those kinds of phones are very popular and people will find them and keep them to sell or convert to their own use. So of course I cried some more. They got me in the gates and then directed me to guest services. I went there and tried to dry my tears as I made the walk. But that was useless…the week had caught up to me and I just couldn't stop. I went in and a guy asked if he could help me. I first said I was sorry that I was crying, but it had been a long trip traveling with my parents…he seemed to understand. LOL! I told him I lost my phone and wondered if it had been turned in. He asked the color, and I was at a blank. I spitted out that it was black or grey, a droid, Nextel, and it had a white sleeve on it. He said he would go to the back and look. I waited only a minute and her returned holding my phone in the air~! I could've jumped over that counter and kissed him! He had me turn it on to be sure it was mine…and of course it was. He said it had been turned in that morning and was found in the parking lot…which meant that someone found it within minutes of me dropping it. It also had no water damage( remember it had been raining that morning), so whoever found it, found it fast! I was so happy that that person took the time to turn it in. There are some honest people out there! The guy told me not to feel bad because there were several phones back there from just that day! I had to sign a form that said I picked it up and then I made my way back out to the parking lot. I called Mom on my way back out and she was soo happy that it was found. She said that Claire had said a prayer that it was found. Claire was worried why Mommy was so sad. Aww….my wonderful little angel! We drove back to the hotel and Dad was pretty quiet. I think My Mom might've given him a little lecture while I was gone. LOL! We were exhausted when we got back, but we hadn't eaten any supper, so I warmed up the leftovers from The Cheesecake Factory and we finished those off. Claire ate a bit of her cheesecake too and then I put her to bed. We told her she had to get right up the next day, no fussing, because we had to get to the airport and then we would be seeing Dad. I went and took a walk outside and called Skip. I told him about the days events and all about my phone. (which he thought was funny) He was missing us a lot and couldn't wait for us to get him. I finished off my cheesecake and a little bit of Claires too and did the final packing and crawled into bed as well. I set my phone alarm for around 6 and was out pretty fast. And that's the end of Day 7. It was a very fun day with a few bits of Drama. Even though I lost the phone, it all worked out for me in the end…and I probably needed that cry. LOL!

I am so glad your phone was turned in! It is so frustrating when things get lost. My dd lost her KTTW card last September and her cell... luckily it all worked out, but the stress is about enough to send you over the edge....and after a week of being the one to keep everyone going, I know how much a needed cry is. I think I had my good cry on our last night of our trip last September too. I sat in the bathroom and let it out.

Kadence loves test track too, so that is a definate in our book! Love the B&B purse(s) I'm thinking about getting a wristlet, we'll see.
You got some nice pics of Illuminatons! To be honest, it didn't catch me the Wishes does, bit we did enjoy it. Sometimes you do need a good cry, it releases all that built up stress. I bet you felt better afterward! Finding the phone was the best luck What a sweetie Claire is for praying for her Momma! It must have helped! Okay, if you start your new TR while I'm gone, be kind and keep it under a 100 pages by Monday!

You're right, that cry probably did you some good. I know exactly what you mean about being dog tired and mentally exhausted by the end of a Disney trip. It happens to all of us. In fact, reading all this makes me realize why so many people do the cruise AFTER Disney to try to recoup and relax some. I'm going to have to remember that for next time. I'm so glad you found your phone though.

Glad you found your phone and there ARE honest peeps out there....sorry you ended up in a mommy melt down tho
Is it normal for Moms to cry at some point during a Disney trip? Your pix of Illuminations are beautiful. Just like I remember from 4 yrs ago! NEVER be sad a vacation is coming to an end. You have pictures and a trip report to keep you busy when you get home. Besides...THEN it's time to plan the next vacation...and, well...THAT's the fun part!!! (....since I don't have anything but air/rental car to plan for next year, I'm working on 2013 already! ) |

That sounds like a long mostly fun day not counting the misshaps. I think I remember the phone story was it in your ptr? How wonderful was it that someone found it right away AND turned it in?
I had my meltdown and cried in Epcot too. We were watching the fireworks and River was NOT feeling the Disney magic and being a brat. It wan't going according to my magical plans and I lost it and started crying and told him thats it we are going home in the morning (yeah right). Thats great you got both purses you wanted. I have 2 Disney purses but not Dooney and Bourke mine were about $25 each but I love them. |

Well, I was going to say that grabbing a good place to watch Illuminations was a good way to end the day. Until.....I read about the crying spell. Sometimes, it makes me feel lots better when I get the crying out and over with. Sounds like that's what you needed. Yay for finding your phone! I'm sure that helped to dry the tears up.

Well, Claire thought you were crying because you lost your phone. We all know the real reason............. the Disney trip was over.
We've all been there. To be honest, I was wondering how you were coping with so little sleep. I guess it finally caught up to you. I'm knew you got the phone back, but it felt good to read it after living through the experience with your story.......... |

I Like to Watch (Instantly): The Legend of Hell HouseHalloween Countdown EditionThe Legend of Hell House (1973)Directed by John HoughCast: Clive Revill, Gayle Hunnicutt, Peter Bowles, Roddy McDowall, Roland Culver, Pamela FranklinFor this ludicrous-yet-effective haunted house film, Richard Matheson adapted his own down-and-dirty novel for the screen, somehow managing to create a reasonable PG version from the NC-17 source material. The scenario is very deliberately a sexed-up '70s remix of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House (not Hell House, got it?), itself filmed quite effectively in 1961 as The Haunting.

By Bob the Backpacker
from Laramie, WY
I bought this for my daughter, Katie, who is between a 2T and 3T. We have an REI down jacket in 2T for her and needed something for the snow and wind to go over the down. We figured she would be too big for the down jacket just in time to be big enough to wear this alone when it warms up a little. We live in Wyoming, so rain won't be a big problem...but the wind is killer on the high plains, and it is working excellent in Germany right now which has lots of snow and is pretty darn cold (a visit to the grandparents).As always, REI products are top notch and inexpensive. A week after buying it Katie was rolling in the snow at my parents' house for Christmas. The down underneath stayed dry and she stayed warm. (ok she had bib overalls on underneath so the snow couldn't run up the coat.)The sleeves have good velcro on them to tighten the cuffs around gloves and mittens. It seems to be pretty durable for a pack-lite style shell. I expect it will get my daughter through the summer as a light jacket and perhaps longer until our son (1) grows into it. Then I expect it to do the same for him until he outgrows it.Baby clothes are expensive and this is WAY higher quality than any other shell you might find elsewhere for the same price.I put that it doesn't breathe because it doesn't look like it breathes that well. It feels almost rubbery like it might not (which is why it MUST be awesome in the rain), but honestly it might breathe GREAT. It doesn't fit me, so I couldn't tell you for sure, and my daughter, although very vocal, doesn't exactly understand what it means when a garment "breathes".We hike and camp and do all kinds of cool stuff outdoors. This coat is what will make my daughter every bit as comfortable as the rest of the family. Bottom line, if you try to spend more time outdoors than in and you have kids, this jacket is a pretty cool deal.
NOT waterproof
By arrdub
from Black Diamond, WA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Our 19 month old son wore this on a 3 hour snowshoeing trip. It was snowing lightly and he was in a backpack. The coat didn't repel water at all. It soaked it up and began to get the down suit he was wearing underneath damp too. His rain pants, whihc were from Columbia, worked perfectly. Needless to say, a wet, cold toddler is not fun for anyone. Very disappointed that this product was not waterproof as advertised. We've come to expect more from REI products.
Perfect spring jacket
By SaraElls

This is the perfect spring rain jacket. It looks great and is highly functional. It's a perfect jacket for hiking, a day at the park or just a quick trip in the stroller. My son loves wearing it and even asks to wear it inside!

Once inside, the suspect went straight to the cashier and flashed another large knife then cleaned the register of the cash. One day later, police believe they have the suspect in custody.
Charges are expecting to be filed on the suspect.
The Philadelphia Police Department has caught the female suspect who robbed Grace Grocery and Dollar Tree in Girard Estates. Through surveillance and tips, the suspect who severely beat one of her victims is now behind bars.
The first incident occurred On November 18, 2013, at 12:14 p.m., according to police. The suspect entered Grace Grocery located on the 2000 block of South 19th Street and pulled a large knife.
Surveillance shows the suspect then restraining the employee with duct tape and taking an undetermined amount of money, cigarettes and the employee's cell phone. She then fled the store and was last seen north on 19th Street, said police. During the robbery, the suspect violently beats the employee causing minor injuries.
The second incident occurred on November 19, 2013 at around 8:17 am, according to investigators. The suspect entered a Dollar Tree store located on the 2300 block of South 23rd Street. Once inside, the suspect approached an employee with a large knife and demanded money. After the employee opened the cash register and gave the suspect an undetermined amount of cash, the suspect fled the store and was last seen going south on 23rd Street, said police. Just prior to the robbery, the suspect was captured on surveillance video outside ten minutes before opening the store.
One day later, police believe they have the suspect in custody and charges are expected to be filed.

Porter reached the party in exuberant spirits that betrayed not a hint of exhaustion which you would expect to seep in after his Superman showing all evening, "No," he said, "it's empowering. It's empowering to be able to play the role of a lifetime."
Clearly, he was aware of what he had just done. "I thought it was a wonderful night, and it was great to have The Moment. Y'know, it's been a year and some change to get all this together, and I love that we're here and now we can just play the show."
With Porter, appropriately, was co-star Sands, a solid return-the-serve performer who has the thankless chore of pulling the plot along pretty much by himself and gets to rest only when Porter feels a song coming on, which is often. He would be an unsung hero, were his last number ("The Soul of a Man") not so nicely nailed.

He felt the first-nighters were (in a good way) push-overs that didn't require extra sell from the rarin'-to-go performers. "There is this wonderful thing on opening night," he noted. "You have people who are already engaged. You don't have to win them over because they already love you, and so they're listening from the very first moment. Traditionally, typically, that first 15 minutes is crucial with us because the drag queens haven't showed up yet, and people who are there to see Kinky Boots are there, looking around, asking 'Where are the drag queens?' so it's up to us to hook them in the first 15 minutes. The nice thing about tonight was: We had 'em. We didn't have to do anything. But we did it anyway. It was built in."

Authored by COL Phillip R. Cuccia.
NATO officials plan to unveil the new NATO Strategic Concept during the Alliance's summit in Portugal at the end of this year. This monograph focuses on the impact of what the Strategic Concept will have on the Alliance. This analysis describes recent trends within NATO and their implications. The monograph provides senior military and political leaders with a discussion of the changing composition of the NATO nations and the impact of these changes on the nature of the Alliance. This monograph describes four possible scenarios of what NATO could look like in the future in order to give senior leaders thoughts to consider while instituting NATO policy. The NATO Alliance has now reached its 60th birthday and is currently in the middle of updating and rewriting the new Strategic Concept. The Alliance, which has grown to 28 countries, is facing problems with changing demographics, an awkward relationship with Russia, a war in Afghanistan and threats of global jihad. Muslim immigration into Europe and population aging will have a great impact on European views of the Alliance. NATO must decide how closely it wants to work and coordinate with Russia in future endeavors. The most important issue at hand is how NATO is going to fare coming out of the war in Afghanistan. The desired NATO outcome needs to be defined clearly. It is imperative that the New Strategic Concept address NATO goals in Afghanistan and the ways and means of accomplishing those goals. Defined goals will give member nations objectives while formulating national defense plans. Getting the Strategic Concept right is the first step in maintain the health of the Alliance.

The approach to assessing the analytical validity of next generation sequencing clinical diagnostic applications must be both clear and flexible enough to allow for the variability among the platforms. Further, assessment of the analytical validity and clearance of this technology should focus on the individual platform, rather than proceeding on a gene-by-gene basis. FDA should work closely with industry to develop standards or standardized methodologies to ensure that they are accurate and reliable, but also clear and flexible enough to ensure that innovation in this area is not inhibited.

Re: Start to my oven You might want to consider running a steel band around those timber boards or all that loose insulation under the floor might rattle loose over road bumps, if the corners of the timber give way. What size is your oven? Have you calculated the total weight and how it will match the trailer springs? Make sure you keep the centre of gravity forward of the axle. Keep the oven a little lower, for stability, than you would prefer. ie. floor level a bit lower than elbow height. Last edited by david s; 05-30-2013 at 01:56 PM. |

Re: Start to my oven Thanks for all the insight! I'm actually going to sell that trailer and try to find a solid truck bed trailer as I purchased a bigger car with more towing capacity. I have cemented around all the brick above the insulation to ensure no loose insulation falls out. I will keep updated as I build! |

The Broncos continued in a busy week of roster moves this afternoon, releasing ninth-year defensive tackle Alvin McKinley. After releasing McKinley trading Domonique Foxworth to Atlanta earlier today, two roster spots were available. The team signed guard Dylan Gandy, who had been with the team through training camp, and defensive tackle Josh Shaw, a sixth -year player who joins the Broncos after spending the 2007 season with Oakland, which released him on Saturday.
McKinley was the Broncos' most experienced defensive tackle with 42 career starts, including 10 last season with Denver. In his one season with the team, he amassed 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks.
Gandy has played 42 career games (14 starts) in the regular season along with six career playoff games (1 start), including the Colts' victory in Super Bowl XLI during the 2006 season. In 2007, Gandy saw time in 10 games for Indianapolis and recorded one start at right guard.
Shaw has played in nine career regular-season games and totaled nine tackles and a sack.

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for Australia Increases
NEW YORK, April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for Australia increased 0.3 percent in February to 122.2 (2004 = 100), following a 0.1 percent increase in January, and a 0.2 percent decline in December.
At the same time, The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index® (CEI) for Australia, a measure of current economic activity, increased 0.5 percent in February to 122.1 (2004 = 100), following a 0.1 percent increase in January, and a 0.1 percent decline in December.
The LEI for Australia increased again in February, and its six-month change emerged from negative territory for the first time in more than a year. Meanwhile, the CEI also increased in February, and its six-month grow rate has improved somewhat from the second half of last year. Taken together, the recent improvement in both the LEI and CEI and their components suggests that the economy should continue to grow at a steady pace.
About The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(® )(LEI) for Australia
The composite economic indexes are the key elements in an analytic system designed to signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle. The leading and coincident economic indexes are essentially composite averages of several individual leading or coincident indicators. They are constructed to summarize and reveal common turning point patterns in economic data in a clearer and more convincing manner than any individual component – primarily because they smooth out some of the volatility of individual components.
The seven components of The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(®) for Australia include:
Yield Spread, 10 year minus Policy Rate
Share Prices, All Ordinaries
Money Supply, M3
Rural Goods Exports
Sales to Inventory Ratio
Gross Operating Surplus, Private Non-Financial Corporations
Building Approvals

As April sunshine melts the last patches of snow, hungry locavores slip on their mudboots and head into the woods. Peering into shaded groves and soggy fields, these foragers are looking for a taste of the changing season, a brightly flavored reminder that summer is on its way. For a few short, exhilarating weeks, spring is fiddlehead season.
Fiddleheads are tightly spiraled fern fronds, not yet unfurled. In the central and northeastern United States, the ostrich fern is the most popular variety; elsewhere lady ferns or other species are harvested. Like other wild harvested foods, such as ramps and nettles, fiddleheads have gained popularity in recent years and make brief appearances on the springtime menus of many restaurants.
Foodies have rediscovered fiddleheads for good reasons. They're high in fiber, iron, and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and their sunny taste entices our winter-weary taste buds.
When young and freshly picked, fiddleheads have a delicate, grassy flavor reminiscent of asparagus. The curled, slightly fibrous rib of the fern lends a pleasant substance and bite, while the tiny leaves are meltingly tender.
If you live in an area where ostrich ferns grow, as I do, the best way to hunt them is to tag along with a foraging friend who can show you the ropes. Bring along a sharp knife or scissors, and a bag to carry your hard-won treats home. You'll need some good boots, too; fiddleheads thrive in moist, shady environments, and are often found in low-lying marshy areas or along riverbanks.
Wherever you find them, it's important to harvest them sustainably, so that the ferns will continue to thrive. A common rule of thumb is to take no more than three fiddleheads from each plant, leaving plenty of fronds intact to unfurl and grow as summer approaches.
Responsible foragers also keep a close eye on the overall health of fern populations. If an area becomes so popular among greens-hungry locals that the ostrich ferns are diminishing, it's time to find a new spot.
Fiddleheads are best soon after they're harvested, so when you've got a few, head home to swap your muddy pants for an apron. To clean the ferns, remove the papery skin that covers one side of the frond. Next, wash them in several changes of cold water, until the water runs clear.
Even if you plan on sautéing the fiddleheads, it's a good idea to pre-cook them in boiling water. While not everyone is affected, there have been cases of food poisoning from to eating undercooked fiddleheads, which boiling can help prevent.
Immerse the fiddleheads in a large pot of rapidly boiling water until just tender, about five minutes. Immediately dunk them into a bowl of ice water, and drain before using.
A traditional Indonesian dish, gulai pakis, combines the bright taste of fiddleheads with a heady mix of galangal, hot peppers, turmeric leaf, and lemongrass, simmered in a broth of rich coconut milk.
Fiddleheads also pair wonderfully with creamy cheeses such as fontina and ricotta, and are perfect atop a crispy homemade pizza or rich pissaladière.
As the days warm and the fiddleheads begin to uncoil, I mourn the passing of the brief moment when they rule the kitchen. Long weeks before plump tomatoes and succulent melons ripen, humble ferns are the star of the show. For me, the ephemeral fiddlehead evokes one of cooking's most vivid lessons: that food is best when prepared with spontaneity and verve, as a celebration of the season.
Jen Smith lives in Burlington, Vermont, where she spends her time baking pastries and writing. She chronicles both on her website, The Nomadic Oven.
Related recipe: Fiddlehead Ricotta Tart
The first time I tasted fiddleheads was when I was living in Southeastern Vermont in the early 1970's. I attended regular potluck dinners where wild foods were featured. Steamed fiddleheads with hollandaise were the way I first tasted them, and I thought I had never tasted a finer vegetable. I live in Washington, DC now and ostrich ferns don't grow around here. We occasionally get Canadian fiddleheads for sale in local stores, but they have very little flavor after their long journey and prolonged refrigeration. The intense grassy, nutty flavor of those Vermont fiddleheads still lingers in my memory palate. One of these years, I'll go back to Putney in the Spring and head for the woods with sharp eyes and blade.

What ails Apple's Steve Jobs?
Apple CEO Steve Jobs' disclosure that he'll have to take some time off to tend to his health did not clear up any of the mystery surrounding exactly what is ailing the man.
By any measure, Jobs has lost a lot of weight over the last year. He has only said that he is suffering from some sort of hormone imbalance that is preventing his body from properly absorbing protein and therefore is causing weight loss. The problem has apparently become "more complex" in the last several days.

Throughout his life, he would work a variety of endeavors—from the criminal to the commercial. Bonanno was arrested for running guns around this time, according to The New York Times, but the charges were dropped.
Bonanno eventually went to work for Salvatore Maranzano as an enforcer. Maranzano's operations included bootlegging and bookmaking rackets among other criminal pursuits. Taking the young Bonanno under his wing,
Maranzano served an underworld mentor to the up-and-coming mobster. Bonanno also provided Maranzano with invaluable advice and support during his clash with fellow Sicilian crime figure Joseph Masseria—in what has been called the Castellammarese War. The war ended with Masseria's death in April 1931. Maranzano's victory was short-lived, however. He was killed the following September by men hired by Lucky Luciano and Vito Genovese.
Head of the Family
After Maranzano's murder, Bonanno became the head of the Maranzano crime family (later referred to as the Bonanno crime family) at the young age of twenty-six. It was one of the five ruling crime families of the New York area. In his new role, Bonanno served on the Commission, a council of crime bosses, which was intended to keep the peace among its constituents' gangs.
That same year, Bonanno married Fay Labruzzo. The couple eventually had three children together—Salvatore (often called "Bill") in 1932, Catherine in 1934, and Joseph Jr. in 1945. Also in 1945, he became a naturalized U.S. citizen. Over the years, Bonanno faced health challenges, suffering his first heart attack in 1951 while staying in Tucson, Arizona.
Bonanno also almost lost his U.S. citizenship around this time. In 1953, federal prosecutors sought to void his citizenship. They said that he lied on his application for naturalization by not mentioning the $450 fine he had received for violating federal labor laws at his garment business in the early 1940s. The case was later dismissed.
this legal obstacle, Bonanno and his organization continued to thrive.
Two of the New York underworld's five families were united in marriage
in 1956 when Bonanno's son Bill wed mob boss Joseph Profaci's niece
Rosalie Profaci. The wedding was an elaborative affair held at New
York's posh Astor Hotel and featured entertainment by Tony Bennett among
others. More than 3,000 people attended the reception, including such
top organized crime figures as Frank Costello, Albert Anastasia, and
Vito Genovese.
Trouble with the Law
Despite his prominent role in organized crime, he largely managed to keep a relatively low profile until 1957. That October, Bonanno was questioned in relation to the murder of fellow mob boss Albert Anastasia and then released. He and tens of other organized crime figures, including Carlo Gambino, Joseph Profaci, and Vito Genovese, were arrested in a raid on a home in Apalachin, New York, in what authorities considered to be some type of special underworld meeting.
Bonanno along with several other attendees were indicted on conspiracy to obstruct justice charges in 1959, but he never stood trial.

You can't read too much into the solicitations for future issues, but the upcoming AvX installment seems to have Wolverine and Hope working together; and the cover for an upcoming issue of WaTXM has Kid Gladiator throwing down against The Avengers.
Rachael would not know that Caps intentions are different from Wolverines, he is toofar away
We will have to see.
do you think that Cap understands why Rachael is really uncomfortable? I don't think he would have had her do it if he knew about the "hound". He seems to believe that she is just in an uncomfortable position not reliving a nightmare. Cap has been corrupted but not nearly that far yet
Pain shared is divided, joy shared is multiplied
multiquote is not optional.
VIVA KUSASAN!!! Morrison On Magneto: I made him into a stupid old drug-addicted idiot. CC had done a lot of good work over the years to redeem the character. And I went in and sh*t on all of it.
Holding out for a Peter/Miles team up.
Asking Rachel if she can use cerebra does not make any of these folks bad people, so what if it gives her a bit of discomfort she is an adult and the world/mutant race is on the line.
This issue wasn't nearly as epic as the last issue in terms of action, but it was still very enjoyable. I think this issue actually tipped the balance again after it looked like the Avengers were winning one too many battles. In this issue Cyclops outsmarted Captain America not once, but twice. First with Magik and then again with Rachel. If Cap is supposed to be a master strategist, it really didn't show in this issue.
But the highlight for me was Wolverine getting kicked out of the Avengers (literally) and defying Captain America. And you know what? He was right on some levels. The battle with him in Cap reminded me of the battle between him and Cyclops in Schism. It was a fierce debate where both sides had a point and there was no way to resolve it. In this instance I would say Wolverine has more credibility because he's dealt with the Phoenix. He's lost loved ones because of the Phoenix. Captain America thinks he knows how he's going to handle this, but he's shown he really doesn't. Kicking Wolverine off the jet may have helped him win the battle, but he just lost an important ally in the war.
I really enjoyed this issue, especially seeing Rachel Grey finally get a larger role. It didn't have the same epic battle as the last issue, but it moved the story along and really set the stage for some interesting developments. If I had to score this, I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 just because the scene with Hope was somewhat glossed over. Aside from that, this was another quality issue.

X-men Supreme
This is exactly what's happening. Not only did Rachel feed both teams of morons total bs, but she can pinpoint track Hope since it's been canonically proven that Cable's blocking/cloaking methods and technology don't work with her. She tracked Cable successfully when even Jean and Xavier couldn't.

psporchicken... | #110 Subject: Yup Posted: 06/19/2005 18:58:04 |
And PS3 Look's Like 2 Geoorge Foreman Grill's. Both they're Controller's Look Comfy though, Especially PS3's, Remember N64's. I don't care for any of it's game's, But it's controller was comfy.

The 360 is a rip-off of the PS2 DualShock (which was just a glorified SNES controller). At least the black and white buttons are in a reachable spot now.
The PS3 looks like a boomerang, so when I get pissed and throw the thing it'll fly back and hit me in the face. I was at GameCrazy the other day and I saw a third-party cotrollrer for the PS2 that looked like the PS3 one. Holding it wasn't comfortable at all. Looking back at the N64, the three handle thing was neat at first, but it was impossible to comfortably use the entre thing all at once. Imagine how much more fun Perfect Dark would have been if you were somehow able to use the L button for alternate fire instead of holding B. (That was a pain in the ass.) Also, did you ever see a non-gamer try and use the thing by grabbing the outside handles, and then use the left thumb to reach over to use the analogue stick? The controller I really want to see is the Revolution's (or whatever it will be called), because of the systems ability to download old games. If you throw NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube controllers, what kind of Frankenstien monster of a controller are you going to come up with? But, if the rumors are true that it's going to use a touch pad as it's main focus of controlling movement, I will officially denounce my acknowledgement of Nintendo. Far and away, my favorite controller of all time is the SNES'. And what's the deal with the PS3's aerodynamic form look? As if I'm going to mount it to the hood of my car. |

Controller is the Dreamcast's, Really Comfortable. Everything is at just the Right Spot for My hand's/finger's.
Man is it awful trying too Play Super metroid on the keyboard, I'm running rom's, And Sure it work's with game's like earthbound, But when your trying too Play Kirby, or Platformer/Action Game's in general, It suck's. Also, I'd say The Xbox Controller is the biggest rip off of the DC controller, Same Shape. Reeses Peaces. |

Yeah, I like the Dreamcast controller as well.
Boomstick187 | #115 Subject: I never really cared for the Dreamcast controller. Posted: 06/20/2005 15:25:21 |
But, keep in mind that this is a completely uneducated opinion. I've only legidemately played the Dreamcast, maybe, three times. I've never beated a game or played for a long period of time on the Dreamcast, so I never got used to the thing. I remember the bottoms of the grips digging into my hands.
I do agree that the XBOX ripped off the Dreamcast controller, but wasn't the Dreamcast controller just a rehash of the 3D controller, (or whatever it was called), for the Saturn? Oh, the Saturn. That takes me back. Not that I ever owned one. No, back then I was still a punk-ass little fan-boy for Nintendo, who used phrases like punk-ass. My friend had I Saturn, and I remember playing games like Tomb Raider, NiGHTS, and Street Fighter The Movie on the thing. |

I Love the Saturn, It's Home Too Some Of the Most Hardcore Gamer's Game's. Unfortunatly, The really Great and Rare game's Put you out 120-220$.
I'm Not A Fanboy, but I don't Care about anything on Box, 360 Will be good. They Have Tetsuya, Who IMO, Is the Most Innovative dev Around, I Do wish He Would of gone the way Of Rev. W/e That Controller is Gonna Be, I bet Nin will make It Innovative. And Yes, DC's Controller Was based on Saturn's 3D pad, But there's A Difference. That was Sega's Controller, So they Didn't Rip it off, They Simply Put it on they're New console. Reeses Peaces. |

Easy enough for kids to help make, elegant enough for a holiday celebration, these wow-worthy cornucopias will take you back to the times you made horns of plenty in grade school.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large egg
1 17.3 ounce package prepared puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
Roasted Vegetables:
2 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups baby zucchini, or 1/2 lb. regular zucchini, halved and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups baby pattypan squash, or 1/2 lb. regular pattypan squash, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 cup baby carrots
12 purple pearl onions, peeled and halved
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
To make Cornucopias:
1. Tear off 8 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Fold each sheet into quarters. Roll each quarter into cone; bend "tail" if desired.
2. Beat egg with 1 Tbs. water and pinch of salt in small bowl. Place 1 puff pastry sheet on lightly floured work surface. Refrigerate second sheet until ready to use. Gently pull ends of puff pastry to stretch it out to 10 inches wide. Cut pastry sheet into 20 1/2-inch strips. Loosely wrap 1 strip around pointed end of first foil cone, and spiral strip around cone, overlapping edges as you wrap. When strip runs out, brush end with egg wash, then press on second strip to adhere. Continue wrapping cone with 4 more pastry strips, "gluing" them with egg as you go. Repeat with remaining strips, cones and remaining pastry sheet.
3. Place cones on their sides on 1 baking sheet. Brush all over with remaining egg wash. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheet.
To make Roasted Vegetables:
1. Increase oven heat to 450 degrees. Toss together all ingredients in large bowl. Spread vegetables on second baking sheet. Roast 30 to 35 minutes, or until vegetables are browned and tender, turning every 10 minutes to make sure they cook evenly. Transfer to large bowl.
To assemble Cornucopias:
1. Gently pull foil cones away from insides of cooled Cornucopias, and discard. If desired, toss vegetables with 2/3 cup Holiday Gravy. Spoon into Cornucopias, and serve.
