First Stop: Virginia City - Side Trip to the Old West
I invite you to travel with me as we journey down Highway 395 from Reno to Lone Pine, what some would call the prettiest avenue ever seen. Along the way discover quaint towns, extreme geologic forces, tourist destinations, sweeping vistas and a few great food discoveries. Perhaps you will be inspired to plan a grand adventure of your own down this remarkable and historic highway.
To help you plan your trip, spend some time researching travel websites and bring along a good map, even if you have a navigation system. I had good fortune using www.TripAdvisor.Com to learn about restaurants, places to stay and points of interest along the way. Additionally, I strongly recommend having good maps such as those provided by AAA or "Hwy 395, Carson City to Lone Pine," available from Amazon.com.
Although there are a number of high Sierra passes that will connect you with Hwy 395, they are often closed in winter (Hwy 89 Monitor Pass, Hwy 108 Sonora Pass or the Hwy 120 Tioga Pass). I recommend you begin in Reno. The Eastern Sierra is rugged country; roads demand you plan for extremes in weather, environment and altitude. Bring water, sunscreen, snacks, warm clothing (even in summer), strong shoes, well-running vehicles with top notch brakes and transmissions and, most importantly, awareness of your health concerns as altitude gains are sometimes rapid and sunshine at 9,000 feet is very unforgiving. It is important to note that cell towers are few and far between, so cell phone coverage can be unreliable.
Let's begin the journey just outside of Reno, Nevada, in one of the area's most charming tourist destinations. From Hwy 395 south bound, take highway 341 to venerable Virginia City, the grand dame of late 1800's silver mining and Mark Twain tales. The curvy road quickly ascends above Reno. As you ascend, take a moment at the overlook pullout to appreciate the climb and vista of the Reno valley. Virginia City is perched on a hill; the streets above cascade down in steps, each level a new lettered street. Aside from a few modern homes clinging to the hillsides, the view quickly changes from suburban chic to 19th century antique. Homes with a modicum of frill and fancy, leaning walls and sagging decks and tired but proud storefronts, confront one another face to face in an endless duel to survive the modern world.
"C" Street is your entry point into town. At the north end and below are the cemeteries, placeholders of memory that offer respectful visitors a chance to glimpse the history of people who called the area home. If time permits, take a walk through the Masonic and adjoining grounds; from here you will get an idea of how people lived, whether they were rich, poor, or positioned and had family or not. The view from the cemetery hillside will give you a good sense of the town's spread, the surrounding geography, vegetation and mining way of life. Reservations are highly recommended for motels and B&B's, especially on weekends and popular travel months.
A quiet, early morning stroll into town before the crowds arrive adds to the ambience and character of the place. Along the way you find many buildings built in the latter 1800's, still in character and lovingly preserved "the way it was." This walk into town is a lesson in Victorian architecture, filigree ornamentation and "whatever works." Collapsed stone walls, uneven plank boardwalks, tall window and doorframes and sagging wood structures echo Virginia City's past-its-prime look and feel. Good family attractions include the mine tour, gold panning experience, a ride on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad and costumed western-theme photo shops. Slow down, sashay or saunter down the boardwalk while you imagine jingling spurs, gingham dresses and a stagecoach pulling into town. Though only a few blocks long, the town is full of interesting, entertaining storefronts and historic sites best enjoyed at a slow pace.
For dinner, locals referred us to the Cafe Del Rio (south end of town); the continental menu, specials of fish, steak, chicken and Mexican plates were beautifully prepared and priced fairly. The next morning, we ate at the Virginia City Coffee House and enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches and good coffee outside so we could absorb the panoramic view of the Washoe Valley and parade of horses walking loose down the main street. Stand on the edge of "C" street, look east, and contemplate the rugged, never-quite-finished look of the town: the spire from the Catholic Church piercing the skyline, the barely visible painted signs on the walls of old buildings, the windswept barren hills, and the sense that there are ghosts still roaming the area, not quite able to give up on the dream that was Virginia City.
When you leave, I recommend the drive south out of town to Highway 50 and then west to reconnect to southbound 395.
Next month, Bodie- ghost town extraordinaire...

Kevin Love regrets that his comments to Yahoo Sports, which criticized Timberwolves management, became public. Love says it's a thing of the past, and he would love to end his career in Minnesota.
"I've talked to David and coach. We are moving on," Love said.
Love spent time Wednesday addressing an article in which he aired his frustrations over the team's handling of his contract extension, questions over the legitimacy of his hand injury, constant changes to the roster and a perceived lack of respect from his owner.
"I don't know who labels people stars, but even Glen Taylor said: I don't think Kevin Love is a star, because he hasn't led us to the playoffs," Love told Yahoo Sports. "I mean, it's not like I had much support out there. That's a tough pill to swallow."
"You walk into the locker room every year, and it's completely turned over. There's new guys everywhere. And then it happens again and again. You start to wonder: Is there really a plan here? Is there really any kind of a … plan?"
Read more at http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--kevin-love-remains-unsure-about-timberwolves--future-200009299.html
Wednesday, Love said "I'm done talking about this situation."
"We are moving on and looking forward to the future," he said. "We have a chance of making something this year special and for years to come. The acquisitions we made this offseason I'm fine with."

Departure by coach from the ship for a panoramic drive of Bordeaux, a city recently listed as UNESCO World Heritage site. This distinction recognizes the beauty and unity of style of Bordeaux's architectural heritage, which has developed harmoniously over the centuries and remained remarkably well-preserved.
Begin with a scenic drive into the city for a panoramic tour of Bordeaux. Experience the French history through views of the Place de la Bourse, the river front and the Cailhau Gate. See the Cathedral of St. André, the Place Gambetta and the Palais Rohan, now the City Hall. View the Grand Theater from Place Tourny. See the monument to the Girondins and the Place des Quinconces.
You will then drive to nearby vineyards surrounding Bordeaux. Stop at one of the prestigious estates to visit their cellars, be introduced to the art of wine making, and enjoy an exquisite wine tasting before returning to the pier to your awaiting ship.
Please note: This tour is mostly panoramic in nature with one stop at the wine chateau. The visit at the wine chateau is approximately 60-minutes and includes some easy to moderate walking and a few steps and stairs to negotiate. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned only to participate to the extent of their personal stamina and ability.

Reviews for Tuna Mushroom Casserole
Sort By :
This is how a tuna casserole is supposed to taste. Very delicious. Comfort food with a healthy kick. Love all the veggies in it.
easy & very satisfying. good base to which planned and impromptu variation can be brought.
I almost have this recipe memorized. I used to dislike tuna casserole very much but this one with the swiss cheese sauce, WOW! I actually crave this. I double the sauce and 1 1/2 times the noodles because I don't like it too dry, I also only put half of the tuna and am dying to try it with chicken but I don't know if it would be as good. Everyone love it. I also chop the mushrooms very tiny so my son doesn't even know that they're in there. (smiles) This is my most favorite recipe of all time. Try it!
it doesn´t has a lot of flavor ,, it didnt taste it ... I´m not making again, my husband didnt like it. Check better Tuna Mushroom Casserole in this website is better... tastes reaally good.
I used sodium free chicken bouillon and left out the salt. It was very good that way.

Overall, though, the transition should be more of an annoyance than anything else, Pironti says. As certificates issued to businesses expire, they are generally replaced with certs using longer keys, he says, so there might not be so many that remain in use.
There are commercial tools for finding and automatically replacing certificates that are too short, Pironti says. Among them is Director made by Venafi, which contributed to the latest NIST Information Technology Laboratory bulletin on certificate authority compromise and fraudulent certificates.
NIST currently has set a deadline of Dec. 31, 2013 for when entities ought to stop using 1,024-bit RSA and DSA encryption. "However, since such keys are more and more likely to be broken as the 2013 date approaches, the data owner must understand and accept the risk of continuing to use these keys to generate digital signatures," according to a special publication called "Transitions: Recommendation for Transitioning the Use of Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Lengths" published in 2011.
Microsoft is updating its operating systems in the wake of the Flame malware used to spy on networks in Iran. Flame exploited Micrsoft's use of the MD5 hashing algorithm in authenticating Windows Update. Microsoft officially disallowed its use in 2009 but failed to weed it out of its own products, particularly Terminal Server Licensing Service. Researchers figured out how to compromise MD5 using what they call collision attacks to obtain fraudulent certificates that are accepted as real.
Since Flame was publicized, Microsoft has started a campaign not only to shut down use of MD5 but also beef up other areas that have not fallen victim to attackers.
The August update will follow on yesterday's security advisory revoking trust for 28 certificates that fail the company's own recently upgraded security standards for the public key infrastructure underpinning Windows Update.

Candy Memories
I'm 47 years old and even when I was a young girl I would eat Mary Janes. My girlfriends and I would have sleepovers and make Mary Jane sandwiches. These wonderful concoctions were just a ton of Mary Janes between 2 pieces of bread, eaten like a peanut butter sandwich. To this day I still enjoy some Mary Janes from time to time and think back to those days. Nowadays when I take my children camping, we too make Mary Jane sandwiches. ~ Joanne from Illinois

The Bears announced Monday that they have released DT Tommie Harris, LB Hunter Hillenmeyer and OT Kevin Shaffer.
Harris, a three-time Pro Bowler, is coming off the least productive season of his career. He started 90 of the 104 games in which he played during his seven seasons in Chicago.
He was due a $2.5 million bonus on June 1.
Hillenmeyer, who had been with the Bears since 2003, was placed on injured reserve after Week One last season. He suffered a concussion in a preseason game and was apparently still dealing with the effects of it when the Bears decided to put him on I.R. Hillenmeyer served as the Bears' assistant player rep to the players' union and he has been involved with recent meetings on the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Shaffer started seven games at right tackle during his two seasons with the Bears.
The way we see it
The announcement didn't come as a surprise. There was speculation that all three could be released this offseason and the Bears trimmed about $9 million off the payroll by parting with them.

High Point exploring Wi-Fi
February 27, 2012-- Home Accents Today,
HIGH POINT — Buyers, reps and other High Point Market attendees who have grown weary of dropped cell phone calls and limited access to the Web on mobile devices at market may soon see some improvements to their service.
This map shows the area in which the City of High Point is considering offering free Wi-Fi service. It would encompass most of the city's furniture showrooms.
The City of High Point, along with North State Communications and owners of market buildings downtown, are working on a plan to boost both cell phone and wireless capacity in and around the primary market area.
One part of the project involves increasing cell phone and Wi-Fi capacity in properties owned by International Market Centers, including the International Home Furnishings Center, Showplace, Market Square and other smaller properties on North Hamilton Street.
IMC is expected to participate in that part of the project with support from High Point-based telecommunications provider North State - the local partner with AT&T for wireless service - along with Verizon, T-Mobile and others seeking to boost capacity on their 3G and 4G networks.
However, since this part of the project is in the planning phases, officials could not say what aspects of that plan would be in place when.
"We have some details to work out and we are still in the design and approval process," said Mike Snider, vice president of operations for the IMC properties. "It will be a phased project and is not something that will happen overnight."
The city of High Point also is working on a plan to offer free Wi-Fi service in the downtown area, although it would not reach inside the showroom buildings, officials said. The goal of this is to allow both marketgoers and the public to be able to use their smartphones or iPads outdoors without interruptions in service.
Officials also did not reveal specific costs associated with each plan. However, they said the investment could collectively reach several million dollars or more.
High Point City Manager Strib Boynton said the issue of dropped cell phone calls isn't new. However, it became more obvious last fall due to complaints from market attendees experiencing issues with a host of new technologies such as smartphones and iPads.
"Listening to market visitors and reps, it became quickly apparent ... that there was not enough capacity in the buildings or in the downtown area," Boynton said. "There is a priority to address the infrastructure issues within the IMC properties, and I am very hopeful most of that can be addressed by the April market."
Carlos Capo, an executive vice president and chief buyer with Miami Gardens, Fla.-based Top 100 store El Dorado Furniture, and a regular market visitor, said that limited cell phone, iPad and laptop reception has been an issue in High Point.
"The idea of having this mobile device is to be able to move," he said, adding that he welcomed the proposed improvements in capacity. "I know this will be a costly improvement for them, but these are effective tools for the marketgoer."
Neil MacKenzie, director of marketing for case goods resource Stanley Furniture, said that his company offers free Wi-Fi in its IHFC showroom. He applauded efforts the building is making to improve wireless reception, saying that reception can sometimes be "spotty at best."
He welcomed further improvements to boost cell phone and other wireless capacity.
"I think it is just providing a better framework to allow people to have a better experience at market," he said, noting that retailers and designers often want to stay connected to their stores and clients when they are traveling. "Obviously, if we can improve the infrastructure that supports these things, it is one of the ways to help improve the overall market experience."

Russian babies switched at birth reunited with parents after 102 days
A hospital blunder in Russia resulted in two mothers being given the wrong babies, after they were delivered by Caesarean section within minutes of each other.
The baby girls, Anna and Aishat, have now been returned to their rightful parents, 102 days after they were swapped.
The mothers, both called Lyudmila, breast fed and bonded with each other's baby girls, and after a tearful reunion, are helping each other get to know their respective offspring.
Lyudmila Dubayeva and Lyudmila Trofimova each said they suspected something was wrong immediately after their Caesarean operations, but their concerns were dismissed by the hospital in Naberezhnye Chelny.
The women kept in contact, and exchanged pictures, despite medical staff insisting they had the right baby. Lyudmila Trofima said:
I asked to see my daughter, and knew immediately that something was wrong because she did not look like us. I asked to show me Dubayeva's baby. I saw at once she was a copy of my elder son.
Lyudmila Dubayeva, 32, said her marriage was almost wrecked after DNA tests revealed "her" baby did not belong to her husband. Her husband accused her of being unfaithful, and threatened divorce.
DNA tests showed that my husband was not the father of the child.
We were on the verge of divorce.
The hospital only accepted its mistake after both women paid for their own DNA tests and presented them to staff.
The maternity ward is now providing a room for the women to stay together to learn how best to bond with their daughters - teaching each other everything from their daughter's sleeping patterns, to what lullabies gets them to sleep quickest.
Both women say they have been deeply traumatised by the ordeal, and are struggling to come to terms with the prospect of being separated from the babies they have cherished since birth.
Lyudmila Trofimova said for her, separating from her baby was heart-breaking, despite knowing that the child was not her own.
I do understand that the baby is her daughter. I do understand that she will be in good hands. The other she is my daughter too.
We'll remain friends, we shall be meeting each other. It's hard, it's very hard, almost like a heart-break.
Both mothers and babies are working with psychologists; both girls have been cared for very well and are in good physical health.

Nick Marchi is horrified and devastated by how he was duped by a convicted rapist who is accused of brutally assaulting a teen he met through Marchi.
Robert Gene Lile is accused of holding a 14-year-old girl hostage in a Nashville hotel room and repeatedly sexually assaulting her for two days. The girl and Lile had gone to Nashville after she competed in a talent show sponsored by KWJP-FM.
Marchi had invited Lile to serve as a judge for the talent show.
Unbeknownst to Marchi and the girl's family, Lile has served 20 years of a life sentence after being convicted of raping a high school girl at gunpoint in September 1982 in Johnson County. The conviction occurred in 1983, which means his name isn't listed on any sex offender registry.
"He duped everybody," Marchi said. "That's what they do. They look for easy targets, for an opportunity to get involved."
March is the station manager for the radio station in Paola. The station is a not-for-profit education station that features local artists. The radio station last summer sponsored a talent show in hopes of helping a Kansas artist get a break on the national stage.
Lile came to Marchi's attention when he came to the station and said he had recorded a Christian music album. Lile asked Marchi to play his music on air.
Marchi said Lile told him that he was an artist, but his passion was to find talented young singers and develop them through his talent agency. He also claimed that he did concerts at a church he attended.
In hindsight, Marchi says he believes Lile was trying to maintain his credibility while getting access to teen girls. At the time of the talent show, he noticed that Lile invited all the young female contestants into a room to discuss representing them. Older and male contestants weren't invited.
"There were things that were odd, but nothing that put up a red flag," Marchi said.
Lile should be extradited from Missouri back to Tennessee later this week.
And this was the last talent show for KWJP.
"Everybody seemed above board and we are just devastated," he said.

Easter egg hunts haven't changed much through the years: Groups of eager kids search high and low for colorful (and well-hidden) treasure. But if you're looking for a fresh take on the classic, look no further than these clever ideas for mixing up the traditional Easter egg hunt:
Try a novel twist on the traditional daylight search: Arm your kids with flashlights, and send them out at dusk to hunt for eggs. For even more fun, make it a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt: Just fill plastic eggs with lit glow sticks and candy, tape them shut and hide them.
If you're having a hunt for kids with different age groups or searching abilities, consider ways to ensure the bounty is well distributed. You can opt to assign each child a certain color to hunt for, or a list of different colors to find (i.e. two red, three blue and one green).
Turn the tables on your kids -- let them each hide a few eggs for you and the other adults at your party to find. The child who stumps you the most (with the last egg found) gets a prize.
When it comes to filling your Easter eggs with loot, sometimes you have to think outside the egg -- check out these clever ideas from Alpha Mom. If you're concerned about your kids getting hopped up on sugar this Easter, check out the fun, sugar-free alternatives that Mindful Momma rounded up, including fizzy dinosaur bath eggs.
A little ingenuity can turn the standard plastic eggs into some spectacular bling -- Easter egg rings with a surprise inside, created by Dollar Store Crafts.
Don't forget to get your kids dressed appropriately for the occasion! Consider making these super-cute Easter egg necklaces before the hunt; then let your kids wear them as they hit the bunny trail looking for eggs.
And when they're done with the hunt, serve up popsicles inside plastic eggshells -- they make a fabulous finale to an egg hunt party.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Like many football fans, two manatees at a Florida research center have made their picks for the Super Bowl.
Hugh and Buffett live at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota. They've been trained to approach signs dropped into their tank, and touch the signs with their snouts.
On Friday, the manatees' trainers dropped signs bearing the logos for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. Twenty-6-year-old Hugh picked the Steelers and 23-year-old Buffett picked the Packers.
It should be noted that manatees generally have terrible eyesight.
The manatees were born in captivity and have never lived in the wild. The marine lab studies their behavior through training exercises to understand how to protect the marine mammals in the wild.

Thanks for your comment. I purchased a lot of the digital pages from digital scrapbooking websites. Are you familiar with some of them? The princess layouts, where the characters were incorporated to the background, were a bit more elaborate. They were actually from a kid's sticker book and I added the photos. Let me know if you have any other questions,

text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- With the conclusion of practice for the week in Orchard Park, the Buffalo Bills are likely going to be without their franchise player for the second straight week. Listed as a limited participant in his sixth straight practice, safety Jairus Byrd officially received the designation of 'doubtful' for Sunday's home contest against the Carolina Panthers. Byrd was listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 1 game against New England as well, which indicates at least a 75-percent chance that he will not play in the upcoming game. He's dealing with plantar fasciitis in both feet which has kept him away from full action in practice. Besides the safety, five players were declared out by head coach Doug Marrone. Cornerback Stephon Gilmore (wrist), kicker Dustin Hopkins (right groin), guard Doug Legursky (knee), cornerback Ron Brooks (foot) and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hand) will not play Sunday against Carolina. With the likelihood that all six will not play, that leaves room for only one healthy player from the 53-man roster that will be listed as one of the inactives for the week. The Bills and Panthers square off at Ralph Wilson Stadium at 1 pm. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

It was a warm September night in 1954. John Billy and his group, "The Honey Boys," were performing at a private teenage social club in east Baltimore.
"This kid came over to me and brought me a note," John said. "I looked at it and it said, 'I'd like to dance with you.' I asked him who sent it and he pointed over to these two girls over there in the corner in a black dress. I just walked right over there. The first one I came to, I reached my hand out."
"I thought, 'Why is he asking me to dance?'" said Shirley Billy.
"While I'm dancing with her, I say, 'I got your note,'" said John. "And she says, 'Well, I didn't send a note. My girlfriend sent the note.'"
By that time, it didn't matter. Shirley, who is white, and John, who is black, were instantly attracted to each other.
Neither Billy or Shirley were thinking about the obvious differences that would snap them back to reality hours later on their walk home.
"Before I got home, people had called my mother and said I was walking down the street with a black man," said Shirley.
Shirley's mother told her to stay away from John. But the young couple continued to see each other when they could.
"It was alright until Shirley got pregnant and that's when it hit the fan," said John.
Shirley was 20 years old when she delivered their first child.
"I thought this was going to be the happiest day of my life," she said. "The next day, these people came into my room and said your child was taken from the hospital overnight and taken to St. Elizabeth's orphanage."
This backed by a 241 year old state law that said it was crime for a white woman to allow herself to get pregnant by a colored man. The crime could have sent Shirley to prison for up to five years.
"I said, 'What? For having a baby?' I just couldn't believe it," Shirley said. "I thought I was in a nightmare or something. I didn't know how I was going to get out of it."
She didn't get out of it. A couple weeks later, police showed up and arrested Shirley in the middle of the night.
"A grand jury had gotten together and decided that they thought I should go to jail for this crime," she said. "I just can't imagine that and I thought, 'Nah, it's not going to happen. Nobody goes to jail for having a baby.'"
But Shirley did.
"The first night in jail, I cried all night until I went to sleep," she remembered.
John was never arrested because the law only targeted white women. Ultimately, that is what Shirley's lawyers used to make their case.
On April 22, 1957, the judge dismissed the indictment against Shirley and declared the law, which was written in 1715, to be unconstitutional.
Although Shirley was out of jail, the young couple still faced not being able to raise their son. John Jr. was still in the orphanage.
"We would go out there and see him, but after a while, it seemed like we were just visiting some child. We didn't have that bonding," said Shirley. "You miss the most important months to hold him."
"We were thinking about kidnapping him once," said John. "I told Shirley, 'Let's just go and take the baby. It's our baby.'"
The state told Shirley that in order to get her son back, she would have to get a job, find a place to live, and get married to John.
But back then, it was illegal for blacks and whites to get married in the state of Maryland. Shirley's lawyers wanted the couple to take up a new fight and challenge Maryland's law prohibiting mixed race marriages.
The couple was weary from their last battle in court so they declined.
But one year later, John and Shirley drove to Washington D.C. and legally got married.
A short time later, they also got their son back. By that time their boy was nearly two years old. , ne
"When we did bring him home, he was like a kid in a stranger's house," said John.
"Those real bonding days were gone," said Shirley. "That's what hurt the worse."
Despite all they endured, John and Shirley say their faith and love helped them overcome racism, discrimination and a 241-year-old law.
"What kept it going is us," John said. "She kept holding me up, I kept holding her up, and two things together being held up are going to stand tall."
Nearly 56 years later, Shirley still remembers dancing with the young man she met inside that private all white teenage social club in east Baltimore.
"I just took him for what he was and I liked him for what he was," said Shirley.
"The best thing I like about her is that she's just what she is today what she was when I first met her," said John.
Shirley has been the only person ever prosecuted in Maryland under that law.
The Billys still live in Baltimore. In addition to John Jr., they have another son, Gregory, and daughter named Terry.
They love sharing their story now and have written a book, "Flavor: Faith Love and Victory Over Racism." They don't want people to forget how far we have come.

I tried Njoy King as my first disposable to see if vaping was for me. They had the free offer so I said might as well, only paid $3. Glad as hell that's all I payed, the cig ran out of battery within 2 hours of getting it. I also ordered one of these the same day and they came the day after. I loved it! Great minty taste and sweet as well. The battery and liquid in the cartridge lasted very long, almost 2 days. It was well worth the money especially compared to most other disposables.

It does not say in the nonexistant product description how long these last. I am already using the Premium ecigs, but I thought a disposible might be convient in certain situations.
Smooth menthol
2nd Aug 2012
I tried 4 other disposable ecigarettes from random brands and Flavor vapes is the top flavor for menthol. Very smooth, has a nice hit but not overwhelming. I will be looking into purchasing starter kit very soon.
Very pleased with menthol flavor
18th Jul 2012
I am new to disposable ecigarettes. I recently tried them to help with quitting smoking.It was about 3 weeks and I was having trouble with not "smoking". I bought an ecigarette at a local gas station which was crap. I started to discount ecigarettes altogether but found rave reviews on the internet about the Premium brand. I took a chance and ordered a disposable menthol ecigarette from Premium. Wow! What a difference. I immediately ordered the customizable cartridges/batteries because I could get them without the nicotine. I am hoping they are just as nice as the disposable ones. Again, my issue was the act of smoking. I believe I've kicked the nicotine addiction, I just need something to do with my hands/mouth after eating. This helps tremendously. I will keep you posted on the non-nicotine version.

The short, violent life of rap artist Tupac Shakur was the subject of Up Against the Wind, by Michael Develle Winn, which was recently produced at New York Theatre Workshop. In a swift series of scenes, Winn charted Shakur's rise to fame, his indictment for rape, his feud with fellow rapper Notorious B. I. G., and, finally, his still-unsolved death in a Las Vegas shooting. Along the way, the playwright offered a tough, unsentimental look at the harshness of rap culture and racism in the entertainment industry, but at no time did he lose sight of his hero's tragic arc. Fortunately scenic designer Narelle Sissons and lighting designer Peter West created an onstage environment for Winn's sprawling narrative.
At first glance, the set for Up Against the Wind appeared to be an enigmatic collection of theatrical/industrial items, including box trussing, Plexiglas® panels, a ladder, a microphone dangling at stage center, with lots of exposed lighting everywhere, including ground rows at the front and back of the stage. But as the play unfolded, the design's intent rapidly became clear; the action moves quickly through various locations, including a police interrogation room, Shakur's apartment, a nightclub, a stage, and various recording studios. For that reasons, says Sisson, "We didn't want large amounts of scenery in the space. We decided to make a set out of the things you would find in a recording studio–sound baffle, electric cables, truss–and revealed lights, this was to make the stage feel like an electrified space, reminiscent of his life."
Of course, Sissons adds, this design concept dictated a close collaboration between the set and lighting designers: "We had to figure out, moment by moment, how the space would respond to light and how to place the units, because they `were' the set. We had many conversations about light. As a result, everything in the space was very specific, and worked with each light cue." (The designers developed their concept over a year's time, having worked on an earlier version of the play at Juilliard).
For his part, West created with a varied lighting design that easily matched the play's shifting moods. When Shakur performed one of his numbers, the designer flooded the stage with hyperactive beams in saturated color, created by High End Systems Studio Spots. Yet in other moments, stark simplicity defined his method, with highly theatrical results. For a scene in which Shakur is interrogated by a skeptical cop, the designer used one single overhead source, a scoop light, to create a tense, tightly focused atmosphere. "I've never used scoops before," he says. "But there's something magical about them. I worked to get some scenes down to that one light you need." Similarly, for a scene set in a television studio, he used two 650W units on stands to focus the area and create a simple yet evocative effect.
Both designers agree that one of their major tasks was to facilitate the play's many transitions. However, Sissons says, "It was complicated, because we often went from a realistic moment to something more poetic." These transitions were eased, she says, by using a minimal number of scenic pieces in a fluid manner. "We re-used chairs and tables from scene to scene," she says. "The table had wheels, so it could move around the stage easily and energetically. But we didn't clear things away, we didn't want to make radical transitions with physical elements. We wanted to leave behind a memory of what had just happened." For scenes in Shakur's apartment, "We cut the sofa from the second act, because it started to seem too real." When Shakur buys an opulent new house for his mother, "we rolled out a carpet and hung a chandelier. We could do that because we established that style early on."
"It was all about the low sidelights, placed on the booms," says West. "They made the whole piece flow forward. You could pick up a character in sidelight, go into a monologue, then follow it with the next scene. One of the challenges of the play was to light scenes in such a way that it didn't feel like a realistic drama. In lighting a scene, I tried to include the rest of the space, in subtle ways–lighting up the mirror on stage with a red light, or using scrollers to change the color of the Plexiglas panels up stage."
On one point, both designers are adamant: "As the play goes on, Tupac becomes more isolated," says Sissons. "By the end, he's lost in his space, and everything else is gone. The stage started off bright, then got darker and darker as we understood more about the power of his celebrity." Thus the stage's already spare look was further stripped as the play goes on. West adds, "At the end, he was in a big room with a phone, a chair, and single scoop light." (Aside from the disco scenes, the design was spare with color too, with West using Lee 201 (Full CT Blue) and R42 (Deep Salmon) for crosslight and some R339 (Broadway Pink) in shin positions. But, he adds, "Everything else was white, in the downlight, the par cans, and the scoops."
West says that he worked with the theatre's house inventory of ETC Source Fours, plus some Altman units and R40 strips. Other items, including the Studio Spots, and Gamproducts TwinSpins for the disco scenes, an MDG Atmosphere Hazer, Wybron ColoRam scrollers, plus some Par 64 strips were rented from Fourth Phase Lighting. The designer adds that his assistant, Mark Simpson, provided invaluable help with the Studio Spots, having recently worked with them while assisting Howell Binkley on the Broadway musical The Full Monty. Lighting was controlled by an Expression 3X board from ETC.
Other personnel included assistant scenic designer Julie Sass, props master Kwi-Hae Kim, props crew Marisa Lowenstein, scenic charge Kathy Rondeau, scenic painters Tom Gleeson and Sebastien Grouard, master electrician John Anselmo, and electrics crew John Allaire, Adam Bair, Gwen Beetle, Jesse Chan-Norris, Nicole Germain, Dan Hansel, Susanna Harris, Rebecca Mercier, Katherine Schlist, and Barbara Wohlsen. The production also featured costumes by Olu-Orondava Mumford and sound by Jerry M. Yager. The director was Rosemary K. Andress. Having earned mixed-to-good reviews, Up Against the Wind completed its limited run on April 14.

Town Square
Lose the HORSE!!
Original post made by Hal Bailey on Oct 12, 2009
Neighbors gathered in discussion groups this weekend to discuss Alamo, as a ZIP CODE and a business district, and desired changes in our region's appearance. The HORSE on top of the original post office, now a shoe repair, was the number one candidate for change. The Quonset Hut that is the feed & fuel was number two. The old service station, now a used car dealership was number three.
It would be interesting to see how various factions and individuals, as residents of 94507 Alamo CA feel about such preferences for removal and property renewal.
Other properties on the list are:
#4 7-11 and Rotten Robbies
#5 Eastside of Danville Blvd from Las Trampas to Hemme
Is their commentary?

Lose the horse!? I'm shocked. If Alamo loses the horse and the Quonset hut and the old gas station/car dealership, what will it have left? A crossroads that is beautiful but with no distinguishing characteristics.
on Oct 12, 2009 at 3:53 pm
I believe the denizens of Alamo have shown precious little initiative or creativity with regard to that local icon. It could be painted with school colors, in whole or part, and perhaps even moved around town for special occasions. With the police diverted by traffic stops and bank robbery interdiction, and the locals disinclined to report vandalism, it should be easy enough.
C'mon Alamo, where's your unincorporated area spirit?
on Oct 12, 2009 at 10:35 pm
You have got to be kidding me. Lose the horse? Why would anyone want to lose the horse? What are they going to replace it with? A Cadillac Escalade hood ornament? PUH LEEZE! The Alamo Hay and Grain is the only thing in Alamo that resembles charm and character. Leave it alone. Go work on the 7-11 complex that looks like crap. Why doesn't the owner of 7-11 take more pride in keeping that store clean, with clean windows and surroundings. That place is nothing short of gross. If you are making money selling teenagers a bunch of junk food, then you should be more diligent in keeping the area clean.

A dramatic change in the FAA's hiring practices for air traffic controllers has grounded the career plans of a lot of highly qualified applicants, and there are some concerns it could put the flying public at risk.
The change, which went into effect earlier this year, has left many students in a precarious position as they get ready to graduate. Students have built up tens of thousands of dollars in student debt, and now could be shut out of their career.
If you are traveling by plane, you want the best qualified people sitting in the control towers guiding jets across the skies.
For the past 24 years, most controllers got their training at one of 36 universities across the country with an air traffic controller program. Lewis University in Romeoville is one of them. But earlier this year, the FAA opened up the applicant pool to anyone off the street -- no schooling necessary.
Chris Thurlby is a 2012 high honors graduate from Lewis, with $85,000 dollars in student loans, but very little chance of getting a job.
"What infuriates me is that they're allowed to just change things up like this to abandon a program that's been tried and true," said Thurlby.
He and other would be controllers no longer take the AT-SAT, an aptitude test of aviation skills, but instead must take an online biographical questionnaire. It's part of what is widely viewed as an affirmative action push, and one the Air Traffic Controllers Union calls flawed.
That test disqualified and frustrated Mark Jacobs, a 4.0 student who scored a 98 on the AT-SAT.
"They say the biographical questionnaire is meant to determine your suitability based on an aviation background or education or work experience, all of which I have, therefore you are not qualified," said Jacobs.
A transportation expert weighed in on the situation as well.
"This is a high stress job, clearly the FAA has got some agenda here besides just finding in my opinion the best talent, that does raise some alarms," said Joe Schwieterman.
Controller trainees are paid $17,000 a year and then make $37,000 once they start working, but those salaries can increase into the six figure range.
The Air Traffic Controller Union is raising concerns about the new hiring plan because with 3,000 controllers eligible to retire, but only half that many currently in training, many qualified candidates who are ready to go now are not being considered.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Dacula's mayor is protesting a developer's request to drain a man-made pond on property designated for a town center project in the city.In a Feb. 12 letter, Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks and City Administrator Jim Osborn told the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers the city is opposed to a request to remove part of the wetlands at Dacula and Fence roads. The request, filed in September, asks to put 1,375 feet of pipe in a stream, remove .61 acres of wetlands and drain a 2.53-acre pond on 30 acres of land where the second phase of the Dacula Town Center project would be built. "Wetlands, intermittent and perennial streams and established lakes provide many natural and ecological benefits to the City at little or no cost," the letter said. "The City of Dacula recognizes that these unique and vital resources provide ecological habitat for birds and wildlife, help control flood waters ... and improve water quality ..." Connolly Realty President J.R. Connolly said it is too early to tell what will go on that land, which was sold to him and the Morsberger Group by Hebron Baptist Church. An application to the Army Corps of Engineers calls for a 79,000-square-foot building that might house a Kroger and seven additional buildings. At this time, city planner Joey Murphy said, no development has been applied for on the property. "It's only rumor and concept plans," Murphy said of the project. "It has generated a buzz." More than 130 responses to a question about the proposed Town Center project have been posted on a Dacula forum hosted from the city's Web site. Many of the posts questioned why the pond needed to be removed. Terry Sosebee, a Dacula resident who has lived in the city for nearly 30 years, said he's concerned that developers would consider filling a lake during a time of drought. He questioned whether changing the property's zoning to a mixed-use project, with residences, would give the developer more incentive to preserve the water features. Gary Craig, a senior project manager with the Army Corps of Engineers, said he has no time frame for making a decision about the request. The developer is looking into what mitigation options he has, Craig said, and whether there are any archaeological features on the property. Craig said requests of this nature are not uncommon. "I've seen quite a few as North Georgia goes from farmland with little ponds dotting the landscape to urbanization," he said. "There go the ponds and little streams." But Craig said before Connolly or any developer can obtain the corps' permission, he had to present a plan to improve other wetlands or otherwise compensate for the altered waterways. Chuck Warbington, a Gwinnett County planning commissioner who represents the Dacula area, said he thinks the project is a good one. Eventually, Old Peachtree Road will be extended to connect to Fence Road as part of the construction of the second phase. That project would be paid for by the developer, Gwinnett Transportation Director Brian Allen said. The county is working on a project to upgrade the current intersection. The first phase of the development project includes 10 out parcels on 15 acres. Two of them have been leased, to McDonald's and Walgreens. Connolly said the first phase of the project is due to open this fall. Other nearby development includes the construction of a Brand Bank on land formerly occupied by the Blessings Cottage. The Town Center project was so-named because the property is in the center of Dacula, and Connolly's company has built other shopping centers with Town Center names, he said previously. There are no plans to put government offices or other typical Town Center-facilities in the project, but Connolly said in the past he would consider greenspace and water features that are popular in other cities' downtowns as plans progressed for the project's second phase. Patrick Flynt, who lives in the city, said he has been bothered by the lack of communication with residents regarding the developer's plans for the property. Flynt said he wants whatever development does take place on the land to retain Dacula's old town feel. "When you invoke town center, the first thing that comes to mind is activities, events that bring the town together," he said. "When I think town center, I'm thinking something different than retail shops."

Rankin Communications CenterThe Rankin Communications center came about through the renovation of two formerly disconnected buildings behind Mercer Hall that were joined together by the construction of a beautiful atrium. The buildings had previously held the maintenance facilities and several small offices for the communications faculty.
After joining the buildings, full office space was made available for the communications department, including two separate computer labs, offices and labs for the Triangle and Commoner student publications staff, offices and meeting rooms for the Adult and Graduate Studies staff, a large storage and wood-working room for our maintenance staff, and a medical polyclinic for use by Bryan faculty, staff and students.
The atrium in the center of the building contains several displays to honor William Jennings Bryan, for whom the college is named. At the center of these displays is a bust of Mr. Bryan, sculpted by local artist Cessna Decosimo. Photos »
