LAST CHANCE: What's Closing This Week
By Michael Gioia
Here's Playbill.com's weekly "Last Chance" reminder to catch Broadway, Off-Broadway and world-premiere productions before they take a final bow.
Concluding May 18
The Last Five Years (Off-Broadway at Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre). Second Stage Theatre's new production of Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown's musical The Last Five Years stars Adam Kantor and Betsy Wolfe as a couple who falls in and out of love over the course of five years. According to Second Stage, the musical "tells the emotionally powerful story of two twenty-something New Yorkers who dive head first into a marriage fueled by the optimism that comes with finding 'the one.' But in a city where professional and personal passions collide and only the strongest relationships survive, navigating the waters of love and matrimony can sometimes prove too much. Funny, honest and intimate, with an exuberantly romantic score, The Last Five Years takes a bold look at one young couple's hope that love endures the test of time." Visit 2ST.com.
The Memory Show (Off-Broadway at The Duke on 42nd Street). Transport Group's New York premiere of the new musical The Memory Show co-stars Broadway's Catherine Cox and Leslie Kritzer. The Memory Show, which has book and lyrics by Sara Cooper and music by Zach Redler, is described as such: "Showing up is half the battle...and then there's the other half. When a daughter comes home to care for her aging mother, memory is only one land mine in the new musical The Memory Show. Conflicting versions of the past collide in this honest and darkly funny portrait of a mother, a daughter, and their inescapable relationship." Visit TransportGroup.org.
Concluding May 19
Orphans (Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre). Lyle Kessler's three-person drama Orphans stars Alec Baldwin, Ben Foster and Tom Sturridge. In the play, according to press notes, "two orphaned brothers are living in a decrepit North Philadelphia row house. Treat (Foster), the eldest, supports his damaged younger sibling Phillip (Sturridge) by petty thievery, and makes the house a virtual prison for the seemingly simple-minded Phillip. One night he kidnaps a rich older man, Harold (Baldwin), who turns out to have his own motives and becomes the father figure the boys have always yearned for." Visit OrphansOnBroadway.com.
The Girl I Left Behind Me (Off-Broadway at 59E59 Theater C). In the one-woman show The Girl I Left Behind Me, part of the Brits Off-Broadway festival, Jessica Walker and director Neil Bartlett "create a tribute to the artistry and glamour of the often outrageous cross-dressing women of the British music hall and American variety stages, taking a provocatively contemporary look at what it means when a woman wears the trousers - on stage." Visit BritsOffBroadway.com.
I'm A Stranger Here Myself (Off-Broadway at the York Theatre Company). I'm a Stranger Here Myself is written and performed by Mark Nadler. In the piece, award-winning entertainer Nadler, according to press notes, "explores the depths of the European expatriate experience. Using songs by German and French artists - Kurt Weill, Friedrich Hollaender, Lotte Lenya and Marlene Dietrich (to name a few) - who through their music express the declarations of identity, the resistance in the face of terror and the hopes for survival. Nadler examines the lives of these artists as well as those of ordinary German citizens caught up in one of the most intriguing periods of the Twentieth Century.… Nadler's multilingual performances of songs that speak of yearning for deliverance are especially pungent in their evocation of European Jews and homosexuals, the luckiest of whom found refuge in America."

This afternoon I was working in the yard over at the property we just bought when I was startled by a car that came crashing into the side yard near where I was clearing out some of the overgrown brush. I ran to help the elderly driver out and walked her over to the side porch to have a seat on the step. As we talked she mentioned that she will be 97 next month and is now old enough that she doesn't need a drivers license anymore.
I asked what she meant by that and she said the last time she went to her doctor he examined her and asked if she had a drivers licence.
She said she told him she did and handed it to him. He took a pair of scissors out of his drawer, cut the licence into pieces and threw them in the waste basket.
She said he looked at her and said she wouldn't be needing them anymore, so she thanked him and left !!.."

Narrow your search
Dyson's DC59 competes well enough as a high-end stick vac, but poor battery life and a tendency to clog with large particles hold the DC59 Motorhead back from replacing your full-size upright.
The AM06 is an impressive spectacle to behold -- but it's still just a desk fan. For such an expensive device, we wish that it doubled as a space heater, like Dyson's AM05, or featured a more noticeable bump in performance. It doesn't, and that makes it difficult to recommend.
The DC59 is an elegant, customizable vacuum that performed well on a variety of flooring surfaces and with an array of debris types. If you're not looking for a budget-friendly model, you can count on the DC59 to make vacuuming as enjoyable as possible.
The DC41's design disappointed us, and the DC65's isn't any better. Despite the strong performance scores, this pricey Dyson is still difficult to recommend.
You could do a lot worse than the DC40; however, you could also do better and spend less.
You don't need to pay $649 to own a vacuum that cleans at this level, and if you are paying that much, you deserve a machine with a better design than this.
You can buy a better-performing vacuum for far less money, making the Dyson DC50 a poor value.
CNET UK goes hands-on with Dyson's latest contribution to hygiene, the Airblade Tap -- a combination faucet and hand dryer.
If your cleaning needs are limited to dust and other small stuff, this Samsung is stellar, but plenty of other uprights deliver better performance and usability for less.
The powered brush roll on Dyson's newest stick vac allows it to dig deep for dirt.

While the national unemployment numbers look promising, southwest Georgia is moving in the wrong direction.
The unemployment rate for southwest Georgia climbed to 9.4 percent last month from 9.1.
And south Georgia jobseekers say there are just too many applicants for jobs available.
Thomas County Jobseekers William Cason and Gregory Gartrell say they have been on the job hunt for a while, but they are not ready to give up.
"Most of the time I've been doing my job search online, but I decided today to come down to the unemployment office and just see what they had to offer. Online it hasn't been going well," said Cason.
"So far it has been pretty productive as far as getting interviews, but nothing concrete has come about. But I'm still hopeful and I'm not going to quit until I get something more in line with what I more prefer to be doing," said Gartrell.
Cason and Gartrell were at the Thomasville Career Center today trying to find that perfect match.
"Been taking advantage of the computer services, fax machines, the various data bases that I'm able to come in contact with, the job fairs. Every avenue that they've offered I've tried to take advantage of and make full use of," said Gartrell.
Cason says he pays attention to the local and national unemployment statistics and he says the numbers don't lie.
"I have been watching those figures and it has been mind boggling. In this area particularly, it's hard to find a job."
Gartrell says he is considering going back to school to increase his qualifications for potential future openings.
"Trying to at least get my skill set a little bit better positioned for the upcoming job opportunities that will be coming through new legislation, through new healthcare, and possibly through environmental concerns."
Gartrell says he thinks while the federal budget cuts will lessen opportunities in the federal sector, the state government will need to take on more responsibility, and possibly adding more jobs.
Loss of seasonal jobs and increase in new layoffs are the two primary factors cited in the unemployment increase.

A Vietnam War hero passed away in Charlotte County this week. Brigadier General Russell Ogan flew a lot of missions - one picking up a POW that nearly became president.
Going through his things this week, the family of the brigadier general noticed a very special letter.
"Dear General Ogan, it's been 39 years and I don't expect you to remember, but I think about you a lot," said Kathy Ogan, while reading a letter addressed to her father-in-law. "I was released from Gia Lam Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam on March 15, 1973."
A former prisoner of war recently wrote that letter - thanking Ogan for helping in his rescue.
"When he picked up the prisoners from Vietnam, the way he treated them with such respect and so much compassion. I think that's one of the things I admired the most about him," said Brigadier General Ogan's son, Russ Ogan.
Another one of the POWs that Ogan flew to safety was John McCain - now one of the most famous politicians in America.
"He really did a lot so that you and I could be sitting here today we owe these people a great deal of gratitude," Russ Ogan said.
It's hard to rank the decorated general's most precious moments. But his family says it's the newest memory that brings them the most tears.
To see that C-141 on the tarmac and the American flag emblazoned on its tail, I was almost over come with emotion you shook hands with me and said welcome home," said Kathy, reading the letter. "I realize you are about 90 now and I am 71 I wanted to thank you again. Sir, it was probably the most important day of my life and I will never forget you and it hope it finds you well. God bless you."

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter

METAIRIE, La. — Saints coach Sean Payton has seen enough out of young receivers Nick Toon and Kenny Stills to know they'll be all right.
Because of that, the Saints released two veteran receivers Monday – Steve Breaston and Patrick Crayton.
Both were among nine roster moves New Orleans made eight days before the league mandates that rosters move to 75 players.
"The younger guys have done some good things," Payton said. "(Marques) Colston is closer to being back. We'll keep developing and work with the guys we have right now."
Among the bevy of moves, New Orleans placed defensive end Kenyon Coleman on injured reserve, ending the veteran's season after tearing a pectoral muscle early in training camp, while also terminating the contract of veteran quarterback Seneca Wallace.
Rookie cornerback A.J. Davis was waived/injured while receiver Jarred Fayson, guard Ricky Henry, linebacker Chase Thomas and cornerback Dion Turner were waived.
For both Breaston and Crayton, their time with the Saints isn't necessarily finished. Payton said having veteran players in camp helps the team vet possibilities for the season should something arise.
"There are certain guys you bring in and you want to look at and make sure they've got an idea of what you do offensively and then possibly during the season if something should arise, then they're a player that you could potentially sign and they know exactly the system," Payton said.
But it's still a sign that Payton is confident in what the two youngsters can do.
"There's a number of little things they've got to work on that you see on tape that will probably be harder to see than the live TV feed," Payton said. "But both are picking things up fairly quickly and getting acclimated to what we're doing."

There are a variety of ways in which Nasdaq quotes security prices to the public. These levels vary on the amount of information and access they provide to investors.
Level I
This type of quote is most often published on the net as a "real-time quote." Level I consists of real-time bid/ask quotes for securities trading on the Nasdaq stock market. This type of access does not disclose who is bidding or asking for the stock, and it does not show how many shares the market maker is looking for. Real-time quotes show the current quote, but it may be from a different lot than what you are trading. Market makers love clients with this type of access because it doesn't show you the order sizes, and therefore your order may be passed around or held until market makers can profit from your order.
Level II
This type of quotation system is a step up from the Level I. Level II access provides real-time access to the quotations of individual market makers registered in every Nasdaq-listed security as well as the offering or bidding lots that they are looking for. This level of access also gives the name of the market maker looking to trade the stock. It allows traders to see what market makers are showing the most interest in a stock and to identify the patterns for each market maker. Level II access is available over the internet - but at a cost. This can range in the hundreds of dollars per month depending on the company. For clients placing a large number of trades, the firm may waive the access fee because they will make up the costs on your commissions.
This is a trading service consisting of everything in Level II plus the ability to enter quotes, execute orders and send information. This service is restricted to NASD member firms that function as registered market makers. Level III allows you to enter bid/ask quotes as the trades are being executed right in front of you. It is the fastest way to execute a trade and is typically found only on the trading floors of brokerage firms and market makers.

The defining characteristic of our major is that we do not focus on preparing
students for a specific job or career. Rather we encourage students to explore the
broad spectrum of opportunities within psychology. To facilitate this, our
major emphasizes skill development and hands-on experiences rather than
memorization of facts.
The following are employer-valued skills students acquire in our program:
I feel so fortunate to have graduated from Monmouth University's
Department of Psychology. I'm now pursuing my doctorate in Clinical
Psychology and I know I never would have made it this far without my
experiences at Monmouth. Each professor took such a personal interest in
my success, always supporting my unique interests, opening
opportunities for me to succeed, and making themselves available
whenever I needed help or professional/academic advice. When I began my
graduate studies, I found that my classes at Monmouth gave me a major
advantage compared to students from other undergraduate (and even
Masters) programs, especially in terms of writing and research skills. I
can't say enough how thankful I am for my experiences at Monmouth!
-- Emma Higgins, Doctoral Student, Class of 2011
The professors in the Psychology Department absolutely love their job
and it shows through the connection they build with each and every
student. I still talk about my experience in the Psychology Department
because of how much the professors impacted my life. I was so prepared
for graduate school after leaving Monmouth and I owe all of that to my
professors at Monmouth. Usually, senior thesis is a daunting task, and
it was, but after a couple of weeks I looked forward to going every
week. By the end of the semester, we were more of a family and it was
hard to say goodbye. Thank you, Psychology Department for having the
impact you guys did!
-- Jaclyn Racaniello, Counselor, Class of 2011

The world champion New York Giants did not have many needs entering the 2012 NFL Draft, but they added some depth to the backfield in Round 1, selecting running back David Wilson. They added six more prospects over the next two days and continued signing undrafted free agents on Saturday evening.
One potential undrafted signing who has a shot to make the team is defensive back Janzen Jackson. The McNeese State safety had major college talent, starting at Tennessee as a true freshman and sophomore. He was released from the team just before the 2011 season and immediately joined McNeese State. He's an elite athlete who can certainly make an impression on Tom Coughlin's coaching staff.
Here's a current list of the Giants' other undrafted free agent signings, via Big Blue View:
S Janzen Jackson, McNeese State
DE Matt Broha, Louisiana Tech
WR David Douglas, Arizona
DE Adwale Ojomo, Miami
WR Julian Talley, UMass
S Jojo Nicolas, Miami
WR Damian Davis, Mary Hardin-Baylor
OL Stephen Goodwin, Nebraska-Kearney
G De'Angelo McCray, Memphis
RB Joe Martinek, Rutgers

Customer Assistant Interview (Positive Experience; Easy Interview)
I applied online - interviewed at ASDA in March 2014.
Interview Details I applied online through the Asda website, completed the online application form - which was multiple choice questions. Within a week, I was invited via email to an 'Asda Magic' recruitment event.
There were 15 candidates at the event. At 25 I was the 2nd oldest there as most of them were students or school leavers. We were all taken to a room with chairs and tables in and on each table there was paperwork with a name badge on top of it, we had to find our name and so were randomly placed - which was a shame as I was getting on well with one of the girls but we were separated. There were 3 tables - 5 candidates per table.
We were told to find out about the person next to us and 3 interesting facts about them and they were told to find out 3 interesting things about us - so it would be good to think of some things beforehand. We then had to tell the rest of the group what we'd found out.
Next we had to work with the rest of our table. The managers brought a bag with 3 items in (1 per table), we had to randomly select an item and were expected to sell it to the managers. We were given 15 minutes to get a presentation/sales pitch together. The items ranged from car air fresheners to shaving gel. Everyone is expected to speak in the presentation and participate in the planning of it. Our presentation was pretty naff but it doesn't matter how rubbish it is as its all about how well you work together - thats what you are assessed on, so don't sit quietly in the corner... listen to others in your group and talk to them.
After the presentations we filled out some paperwork and 'had a go' on the shop floor. We just had to pull stock forward on the shelves and put misplaced stock in right place. We also had to help a customer somehow, so keep an eye out for customers struggling to decide on something or trying to reach something etc and approach them asking if you can help.
Finally, we had a one-on-one interview - which was absolutely fine. I was really nervous for this but the questions were simple and easy to answer - for example - What would need to happen for you take the day off work? I just looked at the interviewer blankly thinking 'is he expecting me to say something like a natural disaster or a major illness?' He must have caught on to my puzzled look as he said "For example, would you take the day off if you had cold?" I said I wouldn't stay off for cold, but I would stay off if I had a sickness bug in case I infected my colleagues or was sick in the store.
The interview lasted about 5-10 mins. I also noticed while he was writing my responses that he was scoring my answers. The numbers were 1-4 and he kept scoring me a 3. On the last page I saw that 3 meant 'Would recommend for this role'.
And that was it!! They respond within 48 hours whether you're successful or not and I was offered the job!
Interview Question – There were 2 questions I struggled to answer on the spot. First was: "Tell me about the best piece of customer service you have ever given?" and the second:, "What do you dislike about working in a team?" View Answer

I love this school. The teachers are so dedicated and no matter how much they say it is ghetto, the students and teachers know otherwise. "Don't judge a book by its cover." Of course every school is going to have their problems, but it doesn't help that people just keep our reputation going and never report the nice things we have done, like not that long ago we donated over 300 toys to Ruth 5 ES., but does anyone care? Of course not. This school is the best school I have ever been to and I've been to 6 different schools.

The old sanctuary building, established in 1922, appears to be a total loss with little more than cinder and blackened brick as reminders of the structure.The church pastor says the church's family life center and nursery are in good condition. The church was established in 1846 and hosts 50 to 60 members for worship service on Sundays.A 911 call about the fire came in about 4:30 a.m. Carroll County fire crews responding found the sanctuary, located in the 500 block of Bethesda Church Road, fully involved upon their arrival.Atlanta- State Fire Investigators and the ATF are looking into what caused the fire. So far, authorities say there's been no indication of foul play.There's been no confirmation of fire-related injuries.Authorities blocked Bethesda Church Road near the church as fire crews worked to knock down the fire, saving what they could of the church. Motorists were advised to use Bonner Goldmine and Thomas Wilson roads until further notice.Georgia Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens estimated the damage to the church at about $1.7 million.The congregation must now decide how to move forward.

Spring is right around the corner and with Severe Weather Awareness Week coming up, the Perrysburg Fire Division wants to make sure you know how to stay informed.
There are emergency alert systems in counties throughout the state, but there may be better ways for you to find out if severe weather is heading your way.
If you are at home or at work when extreme weather hits, you may not be able to hear sirens due to closed windows, air conditionING, or insulation. But even if you are outside when the sirens go off, wearing headphones and distance from the sirens can also affect how well you hear them.
To make sure Ohioans are prepared for weather emergencies, there will be a statewide tornado drill March 6 at 9:50 a.m. Officials recommend you listen to see how well you can hear the alerts, both inside and outside your home. If you find you cannot hear the sirens, you may want to consider other ways to stay up to date.
"Find something else as a backup to let you know that this is coming, especially something that you're gonna hear at night that will wake you up," said Fire Chief Jeff Klein of the Perrysburg Fire Division.
The state has declared March 3 through 9 Spring Severe Weather Awareness Week. Those at the Perrysburg Fire Division recommend you find a weather alert system that fits your lifestyle, whether it is e-mail alerts, text messages, or an app on your smart phone.

"All love is ambivalent," said the playwright Tony Kushner, "and ambivalence kills." The tales in Alice Munro's The View from Castle Rock are full of that sentiment.
This 13th collection, which the 75-year-old Munro has said will be her last, is a departure in that the stories aren't wholly fictional. They're based on what Munro imagines to be the experiences of the Laidlaw family, her father's people, who emigrated from a Scottish parish that "possesses no advantages" to find an only marginally less hardscrabble existence in Canada. Thus, some of the stories have an unfinished feel about them—the saga of the Laidlaws continues, after all. Though Munro begins her tales with a jovial account of her ancestor Will O'Phaup, most of the Laidlaws tend to be gruff, unsentimental and withholding. Love is not spoken of. Spouses stay together out of obligation and necessity, children are not cosseted, parenthood is another responsibility in a long, tiring string of duties. By the time Munro, or a version of herself, shows up, the Laidlaws are still poor and unimportant, and ambivalence rules.
Munro's narrator is a girl much like the young heroines of her short stories: restless, "too smart for her own good" and a little self-absorbed. Her quiet and dependable father is also capable of brutality; he was a fur trapper, then ran a fur farm. He slaughtered horses to feed the foxes he harvested, and beat his daughter with a belt. Her mother sells those furs at what passes in their world for a ritzy hotel; she then succumbs to Parkinson's, a disease so rare and misunderstood that her care by her family was "cold, impatient, untender." Munro describes them all with her usual lucidity and unerring eye for detail and character. Even her description of the topography of Southern Ontario is gorgeous. The View from Castle Rock is a sad and beautifully written book.

Munro's newest story collection gracefully reconstructs her family history. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal Reviews 2006 October #1
With this new collection, Munro (Runaway ) more than lives up to her reputation as a master of short fiction. In 12 exquisitely constructed tales, she draws on family lore and letters to interpret the history of her Laidlaw relatives, a tough bunch from Scotland's Ettrick Valley that eventually emigrated to the New World. The title story, set in 1818, details a transatlantic voyage undertaken by six Laidlaws for whom ocean sailing is a totally new experience. Their struggles in adjusting to shipboard life anticipate challenges ahead in America as their fears and hopes culminate in the arrival of baby Isabel, all her life to be known as one "born at sea." In "No Advantages," a modern-day narrator's visit to Ettrick reveals what the family gained (and perhaps lost) by leaving the legend-haunted valley, while other stories explore how the harsh realities of wilderness pioneering affect several generations. All the narratives exhibit Munro's keen eye for realistic details and her ability to illuminate the depths of seemingly mundane lives and relationships. Highly recommended.â€"Starr E. Smith, Fairfax Cty. P.L., VA[Page 64]. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Reviewed by Sigrid Nunez.
Ten collections of stories and one novel have made Alice Munro one of the most praised fiction writers of our time. In The View from Castle Rock her full range of gifts is on display: indelible characters, deep insights about human behavior and relationships, vibrant prose, and seductive, suspenseful storytelling.
Munro, in a foreword, tells how, a decade ago, she began looking into her family history, going all the way back to 18th-century Scotland. This material eventually became the stories presented here in part 1, "No Advantages." Munro also worked on "a special set of stories," none of which she included in previous collections, because they were "rather more personal than the other stories I had written." They now appear here in part 2, "Home." With both parts, Munro says, she has had a free hand with invention.
Munro has used personal material in her fiction before, but at 75, she has given us something much closer to autobiography. Much of the book concerns people who have died, and places and ways of life that no longer exist or have been completely transformed, and though Munro is temperamentally unsentimental the mood is often elegiac.
One difficulty that can arise with this kind of hybrid work is that the reader is likely to be distracted by the itch to know whether an event really occurred, or how much has been made up or embellished. In the title story, the reader is explicitly told that almost everything has been invented, and this enthralling multilayered narrative about an early 19th-century Scottish family's voyage to the New World is the high point of the collection. On the other hand, "What Do You Want to Know For?" at the heart of which is an account of a cancer scare Munro experienced, reads like pure memoir and seems not only thin by comparison but insufficiently imagined as a short story.
Perhaps none of the stories here is quite up to the mastery of earlier Munro stories such as "The Beggar Maid" or "The Albanian Virgin." But getting this close to the core of the girl who would become the master is a privilege and a pleasure not to be missed. And reliably as ever when the subject is human experience, Munro's storiesâ€"whatever the proportions of fiction and factâ€"always bring us the truth. (Nov.)
Sigrid Nunez's most recent novel, The Last of Her Kind, will be published in paperback by Picador in December.[Page 42]. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

He's a great coach, he's the best thing that's happened to this program since Vince Dooley. We've just gotta go out there and play ball this year. We've still got goals we want to achieve. We want to go to the SEC, I mean we went last year but we want to win. We want to go to Miami, for the national championship.Bacarri Rambo has the right attitude. Go 'Dawgs!
I'd prefer having an easier conference schedule and an easier road to an undefeated season than to play in the SEC where going undefeated in your own conference is much harder. Once Oklahoma is off our schedule, compare our road to a championship to any SEC school.A refreshing bit of honesty from ACC country. Go 'Dawgs!
If you were to combine the likelihood of an SEC East team going undefeated or having just one loss and having the schedule that would put it in the national championship game, I think Georgia is the best choice.Team Speed Kills on the 2011 Bulldogs. Go 'Dawgs!
An SEC team has won the last four BCS championships, the single piece of factual information its fans have to hold over the rest of the country in their insistence on the on-field dominance of the South. Oregon's ever-changing array of flashy uniforms and spread option offense are the living antithesis of the salt-of-the-earth image the SEC cultivates for itself. Rest assured, their confidence in a fifth straight win – the first over a bunch of West Coast pretty boys – will be staggeringly high. The Ducks can either shut them up and usher in more respect for an expanded, rebranded Pac-10, or leave the rest of America to another year of gloating from the other side of the Mason-Dixon.Dr. Saturday identifies the central issue for all of us in Bulldog Nation: does conference pride trump intra-conference contempt? For me, it doesn't. (I hate Auburn.) Which way will you be rooting, and why? Go 'Dawgs! . . . and go Ducks!
Remember that in each of the past three seasons, the nation's No. 1 team has lost on Championship Saturday.Tony Barnhart offers a glimmer of hope. Go 'Dawgs! . . . and go 'Cocks!
This issue cuts right to the heart of what you think the purpose of the tournament is. Clearly it's not just for determining a champion, or else it would be smaller than 64 teams and the Patriot League wouldn't have a guaranteed spot.This is true, damning, and dispositive. The NCAA basketball tournament is an entertaining spectacle. As a method of determining a national champion, it is preposterous. Go 'Dawgs!
I cannot live in a world where Univ of South Carolina wins a National Championship in ANYTHING. Go Bruins!! Let the Chicken Curse live!This is so the right attitude. At the moment, though, it's all going the Gamecocks' way. The comment threads are here and here. Go 'Dawgs!
Beginning with Oklahoma's out-of-nowhere BCS championship run in 2000, three teams in the last decade – the 2000 Sooners, Ohio State in 2002 and LSU in 2003 – have rebounded from unranked, five-loss seasons to win the BCS championship, all with expectations of far more modest improvement. Two others, Washington in 2000 and Auburn in 2004, came off five-loss seasons to finish within very plausible striking distance of a BCS title shot, and Alabama surged from 7-6 in 2007 to within half a quarter of a BCS championship bid following a 12-0 regular season in 2008.Dr. Saturday points out how a perennial power fallen on hard times can rebound from a five-loss season to win a national championship the following year. Kind of like that team Vince Dooley coached to a 6-5 record in 1979. I'm just saying, is all. Go 'Dawgs!
Georgia, at 8th, is the highest ranked team who didn't win a NC.Is anyone else getting tired of possessing this dubious distinction? (Hat tip: Senator Blutarsky.)
That [BCS championship] game, of course -- along with the championship loss to LSU a year later and the 35-3 humiliation at USC in early 2008 -- has loomed over the program like a plague, and will continue to some extent until the Buckeyes finally take out a truly elite non-conference power (sorry, Oregon) in a BCS game. Nebraska faced the same bogus hurdle in the eighties and nineties -- Midwesterners "can't compete with Southern speed" -- until the 'Huskers dominated Miami, Florida and Tennessee to cap three undefeated, national championship seasons in a four-year span from 1994-97. Mack Brown was a "couldn't win the big one" figure at Texas, dogged by a lopsided losing streak against Oklahoma, until he added a difference-making athlete, Vince Young, and turned him loose to devastating effect in 2005.Dr. Saturday on why 2010 may be the year of the Buckeye. His reminder of the fine line between ultimate success and "can't win the big one" is a point we should bear in mind with respect to Mark Richt.

You should realise that we are experiencing a unique time in Ireland, from the points of view of ALL people involved in planning, construction and design. I am not going to even try to justify what I write - that is not the point. The only point is to capture something in real time, and allow the folks in time in the future, to figure out, what is important about this time we are living in right now. There is just no substitute for a real time, individual account, on the ground, as it were.
Like you can read the diary of some fellow who died in the Somme years ago, and from those brief few scribbles, much later on, an historian can extract some key points from that. It is important to capture something of these unique times here in Ireland - they will not last - but vanish as quickly as they came about. I write from the point of view of the foot soldier, the guy standing in the trench as things all played out. There are other methods of capture, of history and time, like 25 years of architectural awards for instance. But I am trying to capture things in a different kind of way. Our dumb conversation and ping-pong argument, may prove an important anecdote in years to come, you never know.

it's a useful place to keep up with developments, learn from more experienced players, express opinions on subjects about which I'm knowledgeable and maybe even have an impact on current thought and debate.

4.05/5 rDev -2.2%
Poured from an 11.2 oz bottle into red wine glass.
A - Golden, perhaps a shade paler than apple juice. Some largish sediment floating around. 2-3 fingers of white head rise with decent retention as a moderate cap lasts for the duration. Decent lacing as well.
S - Great aroma, something between butter, sour apples, pears, and even a bit of lemon, orange, and pineapple. Smells sort of like some kind of interesting smoothie. There's some powder on the back end along with a bit of vinegar. A very fruity tripel that delves into some unusual but well-integrated citrus and tropical aromas.
T - Sour apples drizzled with a bit of pineapple syrup atop a sort of butteriness, akin to a pie or dessert of some sort. The moderate sweetness dies down mid palate giving way to orange and lemon notes with citric sourness and medicinal bitterness. Slight sourness carries into late palate where bitterness peaks with powdery flavor. Tart lemonade and phenols carry into the finish.
M - Medium bodied, and while initially a solid medium carbonation subsisted, it did not hold up well and the beer got significanly flatter in a short period of time. Val-Dieu Triple was much better with some bubbles and the flatness occurs much too quickly.
D - Overall a pretty good tripel. Not my favorite, but definitely nothing to pass up and worth exploring for it's slightly different citrus/pineapple flavor as opposed to the banana/vanilla found alongside the typical apple/pear. The finish gets a little muddled and the phenolic aspects aren't integrated as well as they could be but this stuff is small potatoes. Worth checking out, and certainly something I'd revisit down the road.

Poured a deep slightly hazy golden with some noticable deep orange hue,the aroma definently had a little funkiness to it like wet grain and sour apple with that Belgian yeastiness some clove and smoke.Big phenolic flavors quite spicey with an underlying powdered suger note there is a decent fruity apricot-like flavor in the finish that lingers nicely.A solid Triple I have had better but this is not shabby by any means at all.

Appearance Light but deep cloudy orange body with a very pretty head.
Smell The traditional Tripel orange comes out at the nose. It is light; more like a tangerine than an orange. The spicing is also noticeable but light. The typical coriander and white pepper is spread evenly throughout the bouquet.
Taste The beautiful spiced orange flavors comes out smooth and well-blended at the tongue. I can also pick up some grapefruit and a small yeast backbone. This is a wonderful example of the style.
Mouthfeel Medium carbonation and body with just enough presence of alcohol to please the palate.
Drinkability I enjoyed this ale very much. It is very smooth yet complex.

Poured from a 750ml into a chalice style glass
A: Hazy pale yellow tinted toward orange, with a very nice white foam head of small bubbles. Head retention was very good with thin layer of bubble remaining throughout the drink. Excellent lacing.
S: Nothing harsh; light smells of spice mixed with malts and something fruity in nature... not sure what, but it smells great!
T: Wonderful balance of malts, spices, and light hops. The flavors remain solid on the tongue and never diminish. The finish is at first a bit dry but fades to an interesting light malt finish with slight finish of the spices. Very tasty.
M&D: Mouthfeel is damn near perfect. The carbonation is light to medium with small bubbles which does nothing but enhance the flavors of the brew. There is nothing here that gives away the strength of this brew. It is so smooth and easy to drink that the effects sort of sneek up on you in a subtle enjoyable kind of way.
I'm a tripel guy and I love a good trappist ale. It was suggested to me that I try this brew with an open mind to see what I thought. Overall - Awesome! This is a very good representation of an abbey tripel. I loved it. If you are into abbey trips, you have to try this one!

Had this on a beautiful August day at Ebenezer's Pub in Lovell, ME. Served in a chalice, it was a beautiful yellow/orange with a thick, sticky head. Stuck my nose in and inhaled a great mix of yeast and fruit, mostly banana. A spicy,fruity taste, very pleasant, with a nice tartness at the finish. Nicely carbonated, very smooth. Could easily have more than one.

Presentation: Short stubby 11.2 brown bottle with no freshness date.
Appearance: Bright and glowing golden hue, haze from both the yeast and chill haze are very light. Thin powdery white lace leaves a beautiful trail down the glass.
Smell: Ripe pear, raw honey and peppery phenols rise into the nostrils. Spicy sweet estery alcohol intoxicates the nose.
Taste: Smooth and creamy with a fluffy crispness upfront. Delicate and supple medium body curls around the tongue with a medium to high carbonation. Esters are solid but not flamboyant. Sweetness pushes forth with ripe fruit and pale honey. Fruitiness is light yet expressive with hints of pear and tangerine. Hop bitterness cuts through a bit and a bite from the yeast tries to keep things in balance also. Slight phenolic peppery flavour adds an enjoyable contrast to the sweetness. Phenolic flavours stay with the finish so the sweetness does not appear to dominant.
Notes: Incredibly easy to drink and dangerous at that being a triple. Very well balanced with a clean palate even with the esters and phenols running around the taste buds.

11.2 oz stubby bottle, pours a slightly hazy, yellow gold color with an intersting, but small head of various sized bubbles. The head is persistent, and coats the goblet with serious sheet and patch lacing.
Aroma is a wonderland of mango and apricot tropical fruit, with bubblegum and vanilla in the background.
Mouthfeel has a slight fizz, but mostly just a fruit flavor tartness.
Tatse is exceptional. Earthy, mushroom tasting yeast combines nicely with the apricot and mango flavors that were apparent in the nose. Vanilla and a hint of cinnamon invigorate the background. Honeydew melon flavors enable this one to leap over all hurdles that would prevent this one from earning a perfect score for taste.
This is one of those Belgian ales that you instantly fall in love with, hopefully with a lifetime of bliss.

750mL bottle poured into a Karmeliet chalice.
Appearance was orange in color and a creamy head looked promising, but fell apart and left spotty lacing. The smell was very interesting, involving various fruits in which apricot, apple, and pear were included. The taste was much of the same, but I also found some spices including vanilla and nutmeg. Body was medium to full, nice and creamy going down. I really enjoyed drinking this one down, and will probably be picking up another bottle in the future.

6 liter jerobom poured into a wine glass.
Pours a nice light golden color with a small white head along with some fine lacing. Nose is fairly bready and malty, a bit ofalmost milky as well.
Taste is very smooth, creamy, a bit sweet like caramel with an almost candy finish. Mouthfeel is smooth, full and well carbonated and finishes very dry.

Pours a cloudy dark amber with a creamy head which doesn't fade, really I poured this from a 33ml bottle a good 40+ minutes ago and the head is holding strong.
Not much of a nose, with a strong sniff I detect phenols and some metallic like smell.
The metallic taste is the first characteristic I am able to find followed by the alcohol. Some light banana and cloves are also found.
Mouthfeel is creamy with little carbonation.
Not something I would go looking for. I wish I had a large bottle as smaller bottle tend to deliver as well in my experience.

Out of a bottle at The Muddy Pig, St. Paul, MN...
Sedimented and hazy golden yellow color, with a slight greenish tint. Head of fast-rising medium-sized bibbles, lays mostly flat and white in color but leaving plenty of nice complex lacing on the glass. Fruity aroma, mostly of citrons and sweet orange with a back tone of yeast and almost a Wit-like sugary spice. Mouthfeel is light, softness is a little underdone by more than average carbonation. Flavor is a little on the sweet side, like overly fragrant flowers, doesn't dry as much as some Tripels later in the profile either. Touch of hops help a little -- but doesn't counter a sugary fruit salad impression enough for me to place this in an elite category.

(Served in a chalice)
A- This beer pours a slightly hazy butterscotch color with a big bubble popping of the base and racing to the surface. The snow white head is a big cobweb and last for a good bit.
S- The soft sweetness and light peppery phenolic aroma blend in an otherwise pretty clean aroma. There is a fresh grain sweetness that comes through as the beer opens up.
T- The dry light candy sugar flavor has honey and pale malt flavors with some bright dried fruit qualities to follow. The dry finish has a light hop bit with a noble green hop note.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a crisp finish and the alcohol is well hidden till it the last few sips.
D- This beer is simple and elegant with some great yeast character and subtle depth and a good balance of hops and sweetness.

33 cl. bottle into my Corsendonk tulip.
Appearance: One of the best tripels I've seen poured. Tons of bubbles circulating, a beautiful head that sits perfectly atop the glass, and tons of covering and clumpy lacing as I drink (when the head finally settles). Not only that, but there are so many bubbles gurgling up that they recharge the head in a way, always pushing it up and forming the thinnest layer of bubbles at the bottom. Amazing.
Smell: Sweet malt, candi sugar, heavy alcohol, and dark fruit. Wish there was more of a banana presence, or fruit akin to that kind of aroma. But alas, this is still pretty fine.
Taste: The balance here is what wins me over. Lots of ripe fruit is at the forefront, which then sinks into more malt character, thick Belgian yeast, some earthiness and slight phenols, and finally all of it coming together with a tad bit of dryness and bitterness to round things out. Without balance this could go to possibly bad places, but since it's here and done very very well (not to mention the lack of alcohol presence in the taste), it makes it a sipper and one I want to keep going back to.
Mouthfeel: Thick, full, and very creamy. Light carbonation toward the end, but enough to not make it cloying, and it ends up being beyond fitting.
Drinkability: An excellent tripel. Val Dieu hasn't let me down, and the three brews I've had have all been pretty fantastic. If you can find the gift pack and you're a Belgian fan, don't hesitate to pick any of the styles up, the tripel being one of the best.

Pours a deep yellow/gold with a very thick fluffy white head.
Sharp citrusy and fruity aromas. From a combination of hops, yeast and candy sugars I presume.
Fruity, slightly sweet taste.
Syrupy, slick mouthfeel. Very carbonated. Rummy, candy sugar alcohol warmth in the throat.

Misty dandelion with a hand's worth of foam.
Smells of kiwi, cane sugar, and sweetened lilac blooms.
Begins with a grainy sweetness that segues directly into a fuller candi sugar sense. Doughiness arrises and creates a liquid version of sugar cookies with sprinkles. Kiwis and mangoes are designated back-up roles. Maybe even bit parts. But there is a generalized tropical fruit feel. Slightly spicy with pepper and something approximating vanilla bean. Turns lightly herbal, and plenty floral. Rose petals, lilacs (again), and prairie. Dry at the close, but not bitter.
Fragile feeling in the mouth. A delicate and dainty 9% ass-whooping, it is. Truly startling since it drinks less than half that weight.
A lovely tripel.

Significant head in initial pour. light Golden, yeasty smell, medium biscuity texture, smooth, high alcohol and eggshell medicinal yeasty aftertaste, partly arising from taste of white pepper and pear, sweet tangerine. Carbonation above average. Good, not best of this brewery

A little thin maltwise considering what the style makes you expect. Pours a big white head on a hazy yellow body. Candi sugar and Belgian spicines crowds out any malt. I had a bunch of big beers like this between adoption trips to Russia, to help clear my palate of nasty Russian pale lagers.

I almost completely agree with rater Smakawhat.
This triple is a quite regular, round triple - but I don't understand the exceptional scores it gets.
L: top is disappointing, not too big and very quickly disappearing; cloudy standard triple coulour;
S: regular, touch of banana, honey and spice;
T: round and sweet, the mentioned bitterness...I don't feel anything about that, next to honey it tastes like....(I'm sorry) banana milkshake;
M: full, good alcohol, but not a great final;
O: okay, but not more than that.

On tap @ Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas (Brussels, Belgium) on 7/5/12. Served in goblet.
Pours a clear gold, with a finger of foamy bright-white head. This retains with a thick dollop of froth in the center of the glass, which rings the sides of the glass with sticky lacing. The aroma smells Wow! Banana, clove, bubblegum, sugars and alcohol all waft up the nostrils in a smooth and delicious fume of flavors. This might be one of the best noses on a Tripel that I've ever encountered.
The taste is similar, being just so smooth and balanced, with notes of banana and clove just popping here and being surrounded by yeasty bubblegum character and sweet doughy sugars. Clove and bubblegum flavors are what linger in a relatively dry finish here. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and prickly on the tongue, with more of a slick creaminess across the back. The overall drinkability of this is just beautiful for a 9% ABV beer.
Man, this might just be the best Belgian Triple that I've ever had. This was just so delicious and smooth on the palate with all of the flavors that you could want out of the style. I'm still thinking about this beer.

Light honey colour, ever so slightly hazy....absolutely glows when put up to the light. Nice white finger thick fluffly head, which goes away fairly quickly, leaving thick wet lace behind.
I get the aroma well before I even put my nose to the glass. Seems like this may be an intense sensory experience. Sticking my nose to the glass, I get s light spicy hint- but it's all about fruity smells- banana, peach, a bit of papaya, and some sour apple. Theres also a little hop underneath.
The flavour has a strong spicy top, with a pungent bottom that seems to have some grapefruit as well as some sort of licorice bits to it. Very woody and spicy on the finish. The alcohol is very present at the end. Very nice.
Mouthfeel has a low tight carbonation throughout. The feel of the liquid emerges mid to end, slightly thicker than you might imagine.
It would be a good session beer, I think- if you like doing that with higher gravity stuff. It might be a bit intense for some, but I'm quite fond of this one for an evening's work. :)
Be well

Even though they are sized as S, M and L etc. Well the sizes seem to run on the small size as if it belongs in the children's department. I ordered 1 in the size (that I usually buy) and i couldn't even put it over my head or I ordered it 2 sizes larger (at least this time I could put it on) but I felt like I was suffocating in it.

FUQUAY-VARINA — When Fuquay-Varina's boys' soccer team goes forward in attack, its fans start to inch up to the edge of their seats.
The Bengals, ranked sixth in The News & Observer area rankings, haven't been shut out this season. In no game did their attack prove more dangerous than Wednesday's 4-3 victory against the No. 8 Panther Creek Catamounts.
"In every game we've given up at least two goals," Bengals coach Todd Dowler said. "We know from night to night it's going to be a shootout until we resolve some back line issues."
Highlight reel: On a night with seven goals, the best one might have been the first one. Panther Creek's Henry Mollogon stepped up to a 22-yard free kick and bended it in for a goal in the second minute.
Mollogon later scored on a penalty in the 66th minute.
Putting up numbers: The Bengals' Johnny Stehlik scored in the fifth minute on a header after a long free kick from Andrew Lawrence, then scored again in the 53rd after settling a cross from Dean Rutherford. Stehlik has a team-high eight goals this year.
Keith Gorman scored in the 51st minute.
Holden Bryant had his first goal in the year on the 25th minute on a penalty.
Panther Creek's Matthew Thomas scored in the 69th minute, netting the final goal of the game.
What worked: Fuquay-Varina (4-3-2, 2-2) wingers and forwards Bryant, Stehlik and Rutherford kept making well-timed runs, and Lawrence kept feeding them.
"He's the glue that holds it all together. He's a remarkable player. He's our orchestrator in the midfield," Dowler said of Lawrence.
Panther Creek (3-4-2, 1-3) began to exploit some things late in the match and had a free kick with a little more than 10 seconds left in the game that could have forced overtime.
"Any other team would've folded. 4-1? Forget it," Panther Creek coach David Grant said. "But we came back and gave ourselves an opportunity to win it."
Needs improvement: Both teams are still searching for poise in the back lines, where each team has two seniors and the rest are underclassmen. Both teams gave each other a penalty – one on a handball by Panther Creek and the other on a takedown by Fuquay-Varina.
Missed clears and playing too high of a line led to some of the other goals.

Lucy and Gary Walton have been married for nearly twenty five years. The partnership in their relationship has carried over into community service in the past and that pattern will continue.
The Roanoke Valley United Way campaign for 2014 will have the Waltons as leaders for increased success in serving the community.
Lucy Walton says, "The United Way has a great program already that runs very well because of their staff. I envision the two of us trying to put in something new, a bit of spark perhaps, adding something different for participants. We would like to put in a little bit of excitement but we are not sure what that is yet."
The Waltons have co-chaired Roanoke's Relay for Life event to benefit the American Cancer Society and Lucy has an organizing role in this year's Cure by Design to benefit A.C.S.
The couple will take over as co-chairs for United Way in January.
Gary explains how they are preparing, "We are trying to find out all of the ins and outs of what it takes to run the Community Campaign."
After living in Roanoke for nearly twenty years the Waltons believe being a part of the community is important. They look forward to continuing long term community partnerships in 2014 and beyond.

What characterizes a modern website?
This is a research and placed on various forums on the Internet. The purpose is to gather information to improve N.nu.
I begin with what I already have found:
- Modern design is used.
- For HTML what is used is HTML5 or XHTML.
- Systems for blogging on the website with built-in RSS
- Instead of a guestbook modern comment systems are used such as Facebook comments or Disqus.
- A nice header image with possibly a slider
- For functions with javascript a modern library is used such as jQuery
- For images there is a lightbox feature to easily enlarge the images in a nice way
- Systems are in place to easily log into and easily modify and build the website without knowledge of HTML.
- On-page optimization for SEO already built with for example: clean URLs, headings, HTML navigation, XML sitemap, no dup content, etc.
- Use of CSS3, for example shadows in a good way.
- Instead of a visible counter on the page invisible advanced statistics such as Google Analytics or similar is used.
- A function for collecting subscribers and send out newsletters are in place
- The site is built in a way so that it loads quickly
- Flash is not used for content and preferably not at all
- The site works well with mobile devices (responsive CSS)
- The site uses social media to interact with the reader, for example like buttons for Facebook.
What else is there?

Add: Careful attention is paid to accessibility, including the use of ems rather than pixel based font sizes and use of HTML elements as they are intended, such as headers.
Oct 21, 2011, 03:25 #3
Yes, accessibility and usability is important.
But a question. Isn't it really old browsers that can't handle resize of text in px? I thought there was no problem with that anymore.

You're list isn't too bad, I would put these at the top of the list as the most obvious ways to tell a modern site.
The site is built in a way so that it loads quickly, lean HTML, Minified & compressed assets.
The site works well with mobile devices (responsive CSS)
CSS3 is used in preference to images
clean URLs
Use of appropriate libraries to simplify the code.--
