You will go in all happy, thinking there is so much to be happy about. Cute moments with the JLI. Best friends cracking jokes and making up stupid plans. Just two good buddies who have rough patches but always end up together again.
No that is not what you get.
You get the pain of Ted sacrificing himself to save his friends who didn't give a damn. You get Booster not being in time to save the most important (living) person in his life.
You get Booster going back in time countless times to try and save Ted only to fail every time. You get Ted telling his best friend to remember him smiling before going to die again.
Then when you think it's okay you get Ted being resurrected as a Black Lantern to taunt Booster about his failure. You get Booster screaming to some random guy on the street who barely resembles Ted about how they were supposed to be together forever.
Booster and Ted are not the fun, kooky and ridiculous pairing you think they are.
They are pain and heartache cleverly disguised with "we're not gay" moments and "I feel like a jilted lover."
I would like to point ALL THE FINGERS at galbee for getting me into Boostle just as Countdown to Infinite Crisis came out.

Thoughts & Teachings
Lessons from our synagogue
Allison Baumwald · Reflections on a Mission to Israel
We began our preparations for Shabbat. Like on many missions, it starts with waking up very early and putting your luggage outside your room to be taken directly to Jerusalem, where you meet up with it in time to change your clothes and begin the journey to a Kabbalat Shabbat service in the old city. The similarity ended there. During our third program in Tel Aviv on that Friday morning, while hearing from people who live in the south of Israel, who shared... Read More
Jill Max · Jerusalem, If I Forget You
The road to Jerusalem on a Friday afternoon is always packed with people making their way into the city for Shabbat. This past Friday, however, the traffic included multiple army convoys, headed toward the South. We had stopped to take a bathroom break, and the rest area was overflowing with soldiers, armored vehicles, and tanks loaded onto carriers. I often take photos of Israeli soldiers. However, this time it was different. This time I knew they were headed... Read More
A Prayer for the State of Israel · June 30, 2014
As we mourn the grievous loss of Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar, and Naftali Fraenkel, we pray that the State of Israel, the dawn of our people's redemption, experience security and peace. May the light of our tradition's ideals guide Israel's people and leaders. Let the words of the Torah be made manifest, "Adonai oz le amo yiten Adonai yevarekh et amo ba shalom." May those who defend our people's historic homeland find strength, courage, and humanity in their... Read More
Rabbi Deborah Wechsler · Blessings of Naso
Last week the sanctuary hosted two graduations in less than 24 hours, and in the past month there have been at least four other graduations that took place. Teachers are coming to school in t-shirts and jeans for their meetings, boxes are in the hallway, and classrooms are dark. There is no escaping that this is a time for leave takings, endings, and looking ahead to new beginnings. It is the most popular time of the year for moving and changing jobs, and there... Read More
Rabbi Deborah Wechsler · Chizuk Amuno Congregation
On the first day of Shavuot, Akdamut is chanted as part of the Torah service as an introduction to the Torah reading. The first words of the poem describe its purpose – akdamut milin, which means introductory words – to introduce the Ten Commandments. Akdamut was written by Rabbi Meir ben Isaac in the 11th century in Germany. It is a 90 line poem which praises God as creator of the world, and it concludes that we can enjoy God's splendor by fulfilling the... Read More
Rabbi Ron Shulman · Yom Ha'Atzmaut
In Tel Aviv back in May 1948, wanting a Declaration of Independence to present to his people and to the world, David Ben Gurion had two immediate problems. Getting the formal document written, it wasn't actually completed on time, and deciding whether or not to mention God. Three years after World War II, was the soon to be announced state of uncertain fate a demonstration of God's involvement in human history or only the political accomplishment of the Zionist...

Rabbi Ron Shulman · Yahatz - Breaking the Middle Matzah
Early in the Seder ritual, we break a piece of matzah, wrap it in a cloth, and hide the larger portion of it for after our meal. In some of our homes, children steal the wrapped matzah from the Seder leader and wait for a good "price" to return it. In other homes, the leader hides the matzah and the children search the house seeking it and then return it only after receiving their prize. Everyone knows the Seder can't conclude until we eat this hidden matzah... Read More
Four Special Shabbatot · Rabbi Debi Wechsler
This past Shabbat was Shabbat Parah, the first of four special Shabbatot leading up to Pesah, the festival of witnessing. The purpose of the redemption from Egyptian slavery, the purpose of God's intervention through the plagues and the hardening of Pharaoh's heart in the Exodus narrative was, "So that you may tell the story in the hearing of your children and your children's children." (Exodus 10:2) We were redeemed from Egypt so that we might tell the story... Read More
Purim · Rabbi Ronald J. Shulman
Why didn't Mordecai bow down to Haman? After all, that is how the whole megilah gets started, right? Well not quite! But it is Mordecai's act of disobedience and disrespect that motivates Haman's desire to destroy the Jews of Shushan. When the other men in King Ahashueros' court asked Mordecai why he refused to bow before Haman, all Mordecai told them was that he was a Jew. Why didn't Mordecai bow down to Haman? Perhaps he felt that, as a Jew, it was not appropriate... Read More
Rabbi Deborah Wechsler · Parshat Tetzaveh
From the first parashah in the book of Shemot, of Exodus, Moses appears or is mentioned in every single parashah until the very last verses of the Torah. He is written in to every account, every interaction, and every command. Except for this week in Parshat Tetzaveh. This is the only week from the moment Moses is born until the moment he records the story of his own death that Moses neither appears nor is mentioned. The Sages suggest two reasons for this...

We pray for peace. Short of peace, we pray for calm. We lament that the promise of peace for Israel and her neighbors is not yet fulfilled. We stand in solidarity and hope with the people of Israel, for we and they are family, their story ours. We pray, too, that our Diaspora lives provide support to all the citizens of Israel. With Israel, we grieve the loss, pain, and human suffering in this war. We feel it for each of the 64 Israel Defense Force soldiers killed and the many wounded, for their families, for the 3 Israelis civilians killed, and for all in Gaza who mourn their losses of children and loved ones. We regret the circumstances that compelled Israel to fight. The world sees suffering without a context of who's who and why there's a struggle. We do not. Still, we seek to uphold our vision of goodness overcoming terror's evil and respect for people replacing hatred. God, our prayer seeks blessing for the State of Israel, and for the whole of the Jewish people. May the day soon come that the land will know peace and there will be fullness of joy for all who live there. If not yet peace, may this hope be our comfort. Amen.Read More

We praise God, for the wonders of creation.Read More

I think Clark will end up playing a much bigger role than most people think. Probably end the season with 60+ catches and at least 5 TDs.
Yay, another throwaway article by someone who knows nothing about the team
Clark is old, injury prone, and has hands of stone.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
2010 Things were looking good for Clark heading into 2010 as he was coming off his first 1,000-yard receiving season in the NFL. However, a wrist injury/surgery would limit Clark to six games. In those six games Clark would have just 37 receptions, 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.
Clark is old, injury prone, and has hands of stone.He doesn;t have one of the most precise passers in the NFL throwing him the ball anymore. He has a QB who struggles with ball placement. I think Clark is a massive downgrade in talent. But we roll onward.

BWW Interview: Chatting about ERNEST SHACKLETON LOVES ME with Valerie Vigoda and Wade McCollum
Balagan Theatre is bringing one of the oddest topics for a musical to the Seattle Rep with the world premiere of Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. From anyone else this might seem like a stretch but from the minds of Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn, who brought us the likes of Striking 12 and Sleeping Beauty Wakes, along with book writer Joe DiPietro, a story about a single mother/musician who begins a Skype conversation with Ernest Shackleton as he journeys across the Antarctic is just a jumping off point for something magical. I recently sat down with co-author and one of the leads of the show Valerie Vigoda along with fellow cast mate Wade McCollum to discuss this odd pairing.
Val, what brought you to Ernest Shackleton as the subject for a musical?
VV - Well, for a long time Brendan and I, Brendan, my husband and collaborator, have been working and writing together. And we had a band together. And we still play sometimes. And we would write and perform everything together. And as we started talking about having a family and doing other things in addition to that, we talked very seriously about what we wanted to do. And it became clear that Brendan doesn't have as much of a love of performing as I do. He loves it and he's terrific at it. But he would be perfectly happy to spend the rest of his life in the studio behind the scenes doing arrangements, and writing, and producing and all of that. Whereas I feel like I get twitchy if I don't perform for a certain amount of time. And I have this exhilaration that I just-- I miss. And I really want that in my life. So we said, well, let's make ourselves both as happy as possible and write something that I get to perform and Brendan is involved with the writing with me.
So we were thinking about that since 2003. And just then we happened to see a museum exhibit about Ernest Shackleton up in San Diego. And we were completely blown away by it. And he was just in our minds as an obsession ever since then.
And then a couple years later as we were thinking more about what can we do for me to perform. Maybe it's a solo show. Okay, well, we went to see a bunch of solo shows. And most of the solo shows that we saw were memoirs. They were personal histories. And I really didn't want to do that. I didn't want to do something that was potentially self-indulgent, that potentially was not so applicable to the rest of the world.
And so we sort of shelved the idea for a while until we met Joe DiPietro. He was introduced to us at a conference. And we had dinner together and we talked about writing together. He said, "What do you want to write?" And we said, "Well, we were thinking about doing something for Valerie to perform, something like a solo show. But we don't want to make this self-indulgent memoir. And we'd rather make something epic, something big." And the most ridiculous thing I can think of, the most unlikely subject I could think of a solo show was Ernest Shackleton. So I just blurted it out. And I said, "Something epic like Ernest Shackleton." And he didn't know who that was. So we told him the whole story. And he got really into it. And we happened to mention during this conversation that Shackleton insisted upon bringing the banjo along on the expedition. And as soon as Joe heard that he said, "The banjo, that's our way in." And a light bulb went off.
And that's how we got to write about Ernest Shackleton through the lens of a modern female character that's a musician.
In various shows like Striking 12 and Sleeping Beauty Wakes you tend to play your own instruments in the show. And now in Shackleton you're playing multiple instruments and creating high tech recordings on stage. Do you find it difficult to be so immersive in the music as opposed to the role? Or do you prefer to be in both at the same time? Is that in your wheelhouse?
VV - I am all about going out of my wheelhouse. I mean, I find this all really challenging and a little bit new and scary to be playing all these instruments at once and becoming this character who is not that much like me, you know, as opposed to in Striking 12 I'm playing the character called Valerie.
I've been practicing my butt off for this. Having Brendan Milburn in the house for 19 years means I haven't really needed to play the keyboards very much, right. I mean, certainly before I met him I did that more. I'm an okay keyboard player. And I had played keyboards in bands before. But I kind of stopped for a long time.
So now I'm playing a little piano in this. And it's great. It feels so good to be stepping out like this a little bit more. And-- I'm challenged, and scared, and thrilled and all of it.
Wade, you go through multiple characters throughout the show. Do you like bouncing from one persona to the next in the midst of the show? And do you have a favorite in this particular one?
WM - Well, I'm going to hold you there. I'm classically bad with superlatives. So I can never really choose favorites. I really love them all like children. It's the truth. I'm bad with choosing favorites. I just always have been. But, I mean, hey, Shackleton, I mean, if you're going to choose a superlative character he's pretty awesome.
This show is unique in that I play a lot of offstage characters. So you never see them. They're just heard. And then I play a few who make it on the stage. And to answer your first part of the question, yes, I love changing characters in shows. I've done a lot of shows where I play a lot of characters. And it's one of my favorite things to do. I consider myself to be an artist of transformation. So what's fun for me is to, like, you know, disappear into all these different people.
VV - One of the things that made us think of Wade for this show was seeing you play how many characters during Fly By Night?
WM - That one's, like, 30 I think.
VV - Thirty characters, like, on a dime immediate. Immediate shifts. And he's brilliant at this.
How do you see, both of you, the relationship in the show between Kat and Ernest?
WM - It is a love story.
VV - It's a love story.
WM - Absolutely.
VV - It's a story of inspiration. They're each inspired by each other in different ways. And I think they each learn from each other in different ways. And it's definitely-- it's love that is based on huge respect one for the other. And then there's more nitty gritty that you get to when you're sitting around on the ice with somebody for months.
WM - That's the thing. I think survival breeds a type of intimacy that one can never really replicate without those dire circumstances. I feel like the type of intimacy that we experience is similar to the type of intimacy and friendships that must have been developed through the actual Shackleton journey, these friendships that I can't even imagine surviving together.
VV - It's kind of like war buddies.
WM - Yeah. Exactly.
VV - Like, the people that you have gone through something incredible difficult with, those people, even if they're extraordinarily different from you, and this case a century apart-- they I think have a bond that is unparalleled. It's really, really strong.
Plus he's hot.
Wade, what drew you to this? How did you get involved?
WM - I will do anything they write. I think they're absolutely genius. I played Woody in Toy Story: The Musical for them back in L.A. a few years ago. And from day one, I mean, even from the audition when they sent me the tunes to learn for the Woody role, I was so turned on by their music. I just felt everything they wrote for Toy Story blew my mind. And then looking at all their other material I was totally blown away. And when I heard about this I was, you know, I say yes before I even, you know, read it.
Wade, you just finished touring with Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? How is it going from such an iconic, established role to an historical figure in a completely new musical?
WM - It's great. Like, we said before I love transformation. And so I love choosing things that stretch me as far in different directions as possible. And you couldn't really choose two things that are farther from each other in a way. I love doing new work. I find it most thrilling. Because you're on the front edge of the creative process. And there's something inherently thrilling about that. Also scary and also exhilarating. And like Val was saying earlier, it sort of inherently takes you out of your comfort zone which, as an artist, as a person I love to do because I think it's really important. And the show is about taking ourselves way out of our comfort zone and surviving.
And so how is it to go from one to the other? On a very kind of mundane level, my body is very happy to not to be wearing all those shoes, and wigs and stuff. It was really hard on my body. And it's been great to let all of my hair grow (LAUGHS) including my beard.
How have you enjoyed working with each other on this new, exciting musical?
WM - It has been really fun. We laugh a lot.
VV - Yeah.
WM - A lot.
VV - He cracks me up so much.
WM - And dangerously at times.
VV - I know.
WM - We can lose it. And that's not good in the theatre. But it's also really a fun work situation.
VV - Yeah.
WM - And as far as Val goes I feel at times like she is my Shackleton. She's an amazing mother, an amazing wife, an amazing lyricist, an incredible creator, she plays all these instruments like a fucking virtuoso. She's just kind of outrageous. And it's like being in support of a miracle, you know. And I get to be her Pip, you know. I get to be Val's Pip. And there is nothing better in life than being Valerie Vigoda's Pip.
VV - And I have to say I feel the same way. I mean, when watching Wade just come up with idea after idea and be a creative force in the room with Lisa (Peterson).
And the physicality of this guy, this guy is like a gymnast. Making the living room of the apartment into the Antarctic (LAUGHS) which is so fun to watch.
My last question, I ask this of everybody I interview-- what's the thing that you geek out about? What's your geekdom?
VV - Our whole lives are about geekdom.
WM - I know. Like, the non-art related fascination of something?
VV - Non-art related?
WM - Maybe. 'Cause we know you're a geek when it comes to music.
VV - I guess a lot of my obsessive, researchy energy goes toward things that have to do with my son right now. So food allergies and the-- (LAUGH) the gut.
WM - You're a geek mom.
VV - I'm a geek-- yeah, a little bit geek mom.
WM - I would say astrophysics and the I Ching. But if I have to choose one I can't. See.
You can have both.
WM - Yay. (LAUGHS)
VV - Woo hoo! (LAUGHS)
WM - Whew, both. (LAUGHS) So relieved.

At Pittsburgh Improv, comics lure laughs from bellies in the hopes of following in the footsteps of standup legends such as Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and Dave Chappelle, all of whom have graced the Improv club stages. The calendar schedules comedians as often as six nights a week, alternating between big-name headliners and up-and-comers who tickle funny bones with fresh material, abundant energy, and feathered reflex hammers. Audience members munch on their choice of a savory appetizer, such as spinach-and-artichoke dip or buffalo wings, while sipping a cocktail to avoid eye contact with the giant rubber chicken sitting at the next table.
The YMCA Adventure Warrior Race gives kids and adults a chance to prove themselves against ropes courses, mud, water obstacles, and other unexpected mental and physical challenges—all while supporting a good cause. Amid the breathtaking views and tranquil waters of Lake Tris, runners maneuver around trees and carry heavy objects up the sometimes snow-covered Laurel Highlands mountains, climbing up to 1,000 feet as they go. Warriors aged 16 and older make a 4-mile circuit, whereas younger participants run age-appropriate distances of a half mile or a full mile. Trophies and the respect of all the woodland creatures are awarded to the top male and female runners, top male and female teams, and top co-ed team. According to the Daily American, funds raised from the race provide camp scholarships that allow kids to attend residential and day programs at the 263-acre YMCA Camp T. Frank Soles.

For the four guys behind Full Pint Brewing Company, beer isn't just something to be enjoyed?it's a way of life. At their brewery and pub, they make and serve a variety of craft beers including the Chinookie IPA, White Lightning Belgian-style white ale, and the Little Brown brown ale. They supplement their lineup with seasonal beers, which run the gamut from stouts to ryes, and their limited release beer?cheekily named Nerd's Release?which they brew in extra-small batches during breaks in the brew schedule. To soak up the suds and ensure they remember their date's name, visitors can dig into a menu of bar-friendly snacks and specials such as soft pretzel bites with homemade sauces and specialty flatbread-style pizzas.
Despite its name, Fonzi's Synergy Fitness isn't a place where members learn to ride motorcycles while keeping their slicked-back coiffures in place. It's a locally owned gym helmed by Jim Fonzi and Denice Normandy-Fonzi, who cultivate a welcoming feel inside the fitness haven. High-quality workout equipment, such as the BodyMasters System—a 30-minute circuit workout similar to Curves, as well as free weights fill the space, and a fitness room hosts an array of heart-pumping, calorie-burning classes.
At North Versailles Bowling Center, bowlers hurl spheroids down well-waxed lanes crowned with a stunning diorama of the nighttime Pittsburgh skyline, taking timeouts to enjoy frosty beverages and cheesy pizzas from the nearby snack bar. Saturday nights are celebrated with glowing lights and music played by a live DJ, and ball hurlers attempt to celebrate the memory of Sir Isaac Newton by temporarily suspending the laws of physics with each roll. When they aren't racking up strikes on the lanes or browsing Columbia, Storm, and Brunswick gear in the pro shop, visitors watch Pittsburgh sports teams on the lounge's five HDTVs or challenge each other to friendly rounds of billiards or trivia.
