The idea for this play is a great idea, and I was looking for some great comedy. Unfortunately the play never really went anywhere. The characters really don't develop beyond complaints about their existence. The play is about an hour long, but the existing script could have been told in about 10 min. Too bad, maybe someone will take this great idea and write a better play.

I wish I could give this show minus points, and even a zero is being too generous. So 1 it is !! ABSOLUTELY AWFUL !! Stay away !! The concept is original, but poor execution, a bad script, bad casting, bad directing, bad acting, etc, etc, etc made...continued

Clever play. Shakespeare enthusiasts will enjoy it. It would have benefited from better acting.

My father was a WWII vet (his Ike jacket hangs in a closet about 3 feet from where I'm sitting), but he wasn't a very sentimental guy and wouldn't care much for a lacrimose Memorial Day tribute.
But he would appreciate the sentiment expressed by Sgt. Ben Lepping—because it's the kind of thing flesh-and-blood heros do when they aren't dodging bullets on our behalf. A Military Times blogger reports:
When I came to Afghanistan, I expected to find many strange and unusual sights. A gunnery sergeant with a tattoo of Sarah Palin on his buttocks wasn't one of them.
That's right. Sgt. Lepping has a tatoo of Sarah Palin on his butt:
Within minutes of meeting Marines who patrol this former Taliban stronghold … I was introduced to fun-loving Gunnery Sgt. Benjamin Lepping's left butt cheek.
At which location there is a tatoo of Palin. And yes, there's a pic:
Lepping got the tattoo last June while on assignment in Alaska:
I decided I wanted to get a tattoo that reminded me of Alaska … What could be better than getting a tattoo of the hottest cougar in the Republican Party?
Most people who visit Alaska come back with photos of eagles. Lepping came back with a "picture" of … well … someone who (if President) would not skip the Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington.

How is George Bush different from Charlie Weis? George Bush has command of the Navy.
Over/under on number of people in this photo who will be unemployed as of January 2009? I'm going with two.
Seriously, Tommy Tuberville is the third most snarky, self-aggrandizing person in this photo.

The 30th Annual Labor Day Festival in Olive Branch, Illinois kicked off Monday.
By Heartland News
JACKSON, MO (KFVS) - Jackson seniors met with Representative Jo Ann Emerson Monday to discuss how the new health care bill will affect them.
Emerson says she plans on meeting with as many seniors as she can because sometimes they're not getting the right information.
She voted against the new health care bill four different times and says she feels it is her responsibility to explain the bill and answer any questions people may have.
"We've done about three meetings so far, since I've been home," Emerson said. "Most people I've spoken to are very unhappy with the healthcare bill and worried about the cost."
Emerson says seniors are important because, with the new bill, $500 billion will be cut from Medicare to pay for the extra people brought into the healthcare market.
While no one really knows what the cost will be at the end of the day, Emerson says young people will be paying more for insurance than they have been because most of them don't see the need to get it.
Emerson says she has people in her office just to learn the details of the bill so that they can better answer any questions people might have. She says when the lawyers and regulators start writing the rules to implement the bill, then they'll know even more.

Hines Ward - he is obviously willing to take pretty much any kind of pay cut we offer him. This is a move that is a no brainer to me. There is no telling if Cotchery will come back or not. There is no telling if our 3 starting WR's will get hurt. We need leadership with Wallace/Brown/Sanders. I like all three of them, but they are still very young and immature. Hines can keep them in line and continue to teach them the tricks of the trade. There is no denying he lost a step last year, but for a very cheap salary, the positives of keeping him heavy outweigh the negatives.
Rashard Mendenhall - the negative aspect that revolves around this guy in this city amazes me. I'm sorry, but he doesn't get the respect he deserves as a player. This is a feature back that just two seasons ago put up 13 TD's and 1300 yards. Sure he didnt have his best season last year, but he was coming on in the last part of the seaon before he got injuried. I just dont understand the fans that want to write him off. Without Rashard, this RB group is very average at best.
Casey Hampton - his contract needs to be reworked, but the Steelers still need Casey Hampton. The Steelers really dropped the ball in not finding a stud replacement sooner. I'm sorry, but I just dont see the talent in Steve McClendon to even put him near the same level as Casey. To me McClendon is just like Hoke, a nice backup to have. The NT position is just too important in the Dick's defense to have an average player play there. I understand that money is an issue right now, but Casey needs to stay.
Cutting the following players frees up about $12.5 million dollars....Kemo, Foote, J. Scott, W. Allen, and Aaron Smith's retirement.
Steelers Draft 1st Round Pick Options (Which one would you draft?)

Legendary cult movie sex symbol Tura Satana died on Friday. She was the scary/sexy stripper/vigilante star of Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Apart from that masterpiece (John Waters called it "the best movie ever made"), Satana's filmography is disappointingly skimpy, yet sometimes all you need is one masterpiece to be a legend.
Here's her official New York Times obituary.
The real life Tura Satana wasn't too different from Varla, her Faster, Pussycat! character. A curvy burlesque dancer who could kick your ass in any number of ways, her life story is one of challenge after challenge. Born in Japan of Japanese-Filipino-Scots/Irish-Comanche heritage. Confined to an internment camp in California during World War II. Constantly bullied as the only "oriental" kid in a poor, urban Chicago neighborhood. An early developer who was gang-raped at a frighteningly young age and sent to reform school for being a wicker pre-teen temptress. Following that terrible experience, her father taught her martial arts (she would eventually become proficient in three) and she resolved to be the ass-kicker, and not the ass-kickee, for the rest of her life. When a rival stripper scratched Tura's back (not in the nice way), Tura broke her arm and cleaned her boyfriend's clock. While her film career was in a dormant phase, Tura worked as a nurse, and was shot in the stomach in the ER. She later did a stint as a bodyguard, shepherding wide-eyed diplomats around and dismissing would-be troublemakers with a sneer.
Her life would, and someday might, make a great film. And for awhile it was rumored that Quentin Tarantino wanted to remake Faster, Pussycat!
But who to get to play Tura, or to re-portray her iconic Varla? It's a tough question. Tura herself was of the opinion (she was always of some opinion) that the only actresses who could pull off Varla were Lucy Lawless and Rose McGowan. At one time, Tera Patrick was rumored to be the likely Tura channeler — an idea Tura hated. Though physically qualified for the part, Tera — according to Tura — lacked the mojo and moxie to do Varla justice.
Time for a gallery, no? Here are some great shots of Tura, and just for good measure a few of the Girls Who Would be Varla.
Sayonara, Tura Satana, it was a pleasure.

Government was set up by GOD. So your point is mute. A lot of people think just like you and also don't read the bible. In other words, government is suppose to consult the the word of GOD when creating laws that govern people. AH AH AH before you speak, thinks of the Ten Commandments Not Kill, Not Steal, False Witness (Perjury) and so on.
Romans 13
1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

I was eaten alive by bed bugs the first night I stayed at this hotel. They changed my room the second night, but I was again eaten alive. Then the manager changed me to a third room and sent out all of my clothes to be professionally cleaned, assuming that I moved the bugs from the first room to the second with all of my stuff. No one was shocked or surprised that I had problems with bed bugs and no one offered an apology.

This place is infested :( Stayed here one night and had huge bites EVERYWHERE. Front desk tried to say there was a mosquito problem. Showed him an actually beg bug, and they moved me to another. Took an hour of arguing for a refund from the sleezeball owner who was nearly impossible to get a hold of. Went to another hotel for the rest of stay. Only got partial refund. Called CA dept. of health and police... Worst trip ever because of this place. Do NOT stay here!

My entire family was bitten and we found live bed bugs. We stayed in 153.
No nearby bug reports

OK, finally getting around to reviewing this.
A: Very aggressive pour yields a nice dark orange beer. Good head and lacing.
S: mango, pawpaw, overripe fruits, passionfruit. Very sweet syrupy smell also coming off this one. Vaguely offputting burnt rubber aroma. Bit of pine.
T: Syrupy sweet, alcohol, bitterness. It is concerning that I think there's more bitterness from the alcohol than the hops.
M: Thick and syrupy. Needs more carbonation tbh.
O: I don't like how prominent the alcohol is in this. I have the same problem with ICON. IPAs/DIPAs should taste like beautiful piny, floral hops (or in this case like NZ hops) with a rich malt tapestry behind them; with the alcohol being non detectable. In Hardcore the hop and malt flavours overwhelm the alcohol. This beer doesn't hide the alcohol as well as can be done. Also, I just don't like the flavour profile that much. And I'm still not sure where the burnt rubber part comes from.

330ml bottle thanks to danieelol and poured into a Tripel Karmeliet tulip style glass.
Pours a deep copper colour with just over a finger of foam that is beige in appearance.
Smell is slightly floral, plenty of marmalade and sweet darker malt. Hardly DIPA, turned into a barleywine going off the smell.
Taste is very malty and sweet, a bit of butter and marmalade and some caramel.
Mouthfeel is pretty smooth, not a lot of bitterness given the style.
Overall, this isn't a DIPA at all. More a barleywine for sure. Not a lot of bitterness or hop flavour. Disappointing for what you expect and seek. As a standalone beer, without reference to style guidelines it isn't too bad. But i do go for barleywines in winter.

Clear bronze-orange. Two fingers of not especially compact white head. Okay retention, mild lacing.
A syrupy fruit fiesta. Green apple, pineapple lollies, orange rind and candied citrus. Shedloads of bready malts. Slight spicy herb and solvent character.
Toffee apple, toothpaste, lime zest and a hint of organic grassiness. Booze is pretty hectic. It's unconventional and verging on unhinged, but being a sweet-tooth, I sort of get into it.
Syrupy and rich, with moderate ethanol warmth. Bitterness is not high or lasting. Given the ABV, it's pretty understated.
A very different IIPA with no shortage of rough edges, but enough personality to forgive the flaws.

Drank from my Stella Tulip
A - Pours a slightly hazy Golden copper colour, with an off White head that reduces quickly to a film.
S - Malt woth boozy hops.
T - Boozy up front with some hoppy notes, piney and small grapefruit before a lingering boozy caramel malty finish.
M - Medium body and low to medium carbonation
O - Not enough hop in this DIPA for me. It tastes like they are being restrained by the malt and it should be the reverse. Nonetheless a must try.

Murray's Spartacus
Riwaka and Motueka hops (NZ)
Bought from brewery (growler format) and served in Globe glass
A-- Poured a golden amber color, very short lived, under half one finger of off white head. Became off white film. Upon swirling would get brief flashes of the head, not much more.
S-- Peach, apricot, passion fruit, orange and peach blossom. Has a decent nose.
T-- Peach blossom, apricot, orange in the taste. Big floral taste to this, followed by Carmel stone fruit and some lemon and lime tartness to finish in the taste.
M-- There is grapefruit but it is very reserved. Lots of peach and passion fruit with lemon and lime tartness and acidity. Lime tartness lasts quite a while in the feel before I get a finish of carmel. Low carbonation and big body but not over the top at all.
D-- 10% ABV does creep up quickly but it is drinkable. Murrays has hit the nail on the head with this beer. Very well made and thought out. By style this is a great DIPA and a great interpretation of the style.
For me, the hops just do not work for me. Felt like I was eating a flower, no real hop backbone to this. I miss the huge grapefruit and pine. Was told at the brewery that this is not a hop bomb. No it is not at all.
I am not killing the beer and will be in the minority but I like the pine and grapefruit of ICON where this is a bigger and better version of the NZ Renissance MPA. Just does not work for me.

This beer is an absolute mind****. Strong, rich, flavoursome, very, very moreish. I'm not sure if it's a one-off, but I have enjoyed it on-tap at Murray's in Manly, as well as in the bottle from their Port Stephens outlet.
a) 1 inch off-white, spongy head. Hazy marmalade amber in colour.
s) Pine resin aromas, passionfruit, caramel and licorice, almost barley-wine richness in the malt. Warms to melon and pineapple.
t) Rich flavour, honeycomb, caramel, brambly wild green vegetation and tropical fruits. Spicy, with alcohol warmth, and a prickly bitterness.
m) Silky smooth, if not slightly oily. Not at all heavy, nor cloying.
d) "Dangerously drinkable" says the label. I agree. Classy beer.

Pours a big fruity orange colour, kind of cloudy. Off-white head, small bubbles with thin crown retaining. Lace is OK, not very sticky. Looks good, though.
Smells very tangy and hoppy. Big passion, pineapple and lemon sherbet on there. Touch of paw-paw, white peach and thyme as well. Big and fruity, complex enough to intrigue in spite of its largely ungrounded nature. Very nice indeed.
Taste starts with more of those same big fruity hop notes - passion and mango on there, before the malt kicks in with its bold, sticky toffee presence. Gets those resiny hop notes, quite sticky and oily on the back, with maybe a lack of kick or cut to their presence, but the flavours are all pretty pleasant. Lots of melon, with a slight midori character, mango and lemon zest as well. Bitter and boozey, but with a nice twist of fruit both front and back. Heavy beer, but pleasant drinking, especially for the style.
Nice and full body, with a slight sharpness from the hops late-mid. Not bad at all, really.
Bit full-on for everyday drinking, but the fruit notes are intriguingly constructed from the hops - almost Belgian in the way they add mystique to the heavy booziness and stop the beer getting bogged down by its sheer size. I like it a lot.

4.08/5 rDev +10.3%
Pours a lovely clear and bright orange, with a fine head of white bubbles, that leave a little sudsy lacing as they collapse. Minimal carbonation, and I'm suriprised at how fluid the body is for a 10% beer. It looks quite light and liquid. Good though.
Nose is fruity and ripe with big New Zealand hop characters. Notes of peach and passionfruit, with a slight citrus bend to it. Minimal spice, but I was told not to expect it despite Motueka and Riwaka being Saaz cultivars. Smells more like classic NZ hops like Nelson Sauvin. Lovely.
Taste is a little odd, and not quite as bitter as I expected. Some fragrant overripe fruit on the front, with a big dollop of melted toffee, and some candied orange peel. Later a small amount of warm bitterness hits the tongue, almost a melange of alcohol heat and true alpha bitterness. It recedes pretty quickly though, not leaving much of a hop oil coating on the tongue. It's quite pleasant, but not as aggressive as I expected.
An interesting beer, and one which is surprisingly subdued for all its statistics, and, lets face it, the rhetoric surrounding its release. Very tasty nonetheless.

4.33/5 rDev +17%
On tap at Local Taphouse, St Kilda. From notes.
A - Poured bright with a copper colour. One finger of creamy eggshell head and mild carbonation. Sticky rings of lace and a half finger of retention.
S - Kiwi hops, some breadiness. Lot's of tropical fruits and sugared fruits.
T - Super juicy hops. I wrote 'jesus!'. Lot's of tropical fruit and a noticable malt backbone, but very strong hops. Pine, apple, mango and passionfruit come out. Sticky sugared fruits, sweet resiny hops as well.
M - Good carbonation, full body, fruity and bitter finish.
O/D - One of the better DIPAs I've had here. You can't tell the ABV is so high either. Very juicy and tasty while being really easy to drink. Lovely.

A - Burnt orange in colour, under a small creamy head and spotty lacing.
S - Bread, apricot, citrus peel and booze.
T - Pretty boozy, similar in taste to aroma, apricot is prominent, mandarin rind, bread, very hoppy.
M - Full body, both creamy and oily, medium carbonation and some arse kicking bitterness.
O - This is certainly a DIPA alright, hot and hoppy.

This brew pours a hazy apricot hue with decent carbonation that leaves behind a two finger head and lacing everywhere,the smell is straight out piney hops and caramel and thats about it,it has a nice full bodied semi sticky well carbonated mouthfeel and has tastes of sweet pineapple,mangoes,lychee,boiled candy caramel and finished with a resinous piney hop finish and overall a very nice IIPA and would buy again and glad to see other aussie breweries producing beautiful examples of this style cheers.

Many many thanks to danieelol for supplying this beer to me. Much appreciated.
Pours a amber/gold with no head. None. Light film and no lacing. This from an aggressive pour (twice).
Aromas of pine, citrus, grapefruit and also some sweetness.
Taste is of pine, alcohol, grapefruit, in that order, and somewhat disconnected. Toward the end, the main taste is tending toward vodka(!).
Mouthfeel is light, esp for the ABV.
Overall I was was expecting ICONs big brother. Dear dear. Less nose, less flavour, less mouthfeel. Obviously a whole lot of bottle variation going on here reading the reviews....
Down .5 on overall due to price point.

Draught@Taproom in Sydney.
A: Golden copper with a creamy, white, head.
S: Tropical fruits, Pine, Caramel, Citric notes.
T: Tropical fruits, Malt, Caramel, Hint of pine, Citric notes.
M: Despite this being 100IBU it is very well balanced. Reminds me a bit of a gentler hopslam.
This is by far the best beer i've tried in Australia to date. Damn drinkable. The growler i got did not last long either :) (Thanks Mulder1010 for hooking me up. U da man!)

Intense, full on resinous hop aroma. Nice caramel malt backing. Good.
Clear, amber colour with a creamy, off-white head.
Smooth malt with lots of resinous hops. Plenty of spicy hot alcohol and strong bitterness.
Medium-full body with moderate carbonation. I want a touch more dryness and less body.
This is a tasty IIPA and possibly the best IPA/IIPA brewed in Australia. There's a touch too much alcohol to make this a true quaffer but I couldn't help but have a few.

BoaB - Mark Ellis Divsion – "Commissioner" Needed
We are looking for someone to coordinate updates for the Mark Ellis League. What they would need to do is to get each participant's numbers on a regular basis (once a month is fine) from FanGraphs and come up with a ranking and a little write up. The person can then write a FanPost or send the information to me and I will add it to the Pat Burrell write up. I found a link (linked to the FanShot title) of a spreadsheet that I think would make it easy for the the GM to use.

'Miss Machine' was, of course, a controversial release for DEP. I'm in the apparent minority which considers 'Miss Machine' equal, if not superior, to 'Calculating Infinity'. Personally, I like albums that actually have a mix of sophistication and a certain amount of accessibility, and 'Miss Machine' did this beautifully, even if it was at the cost of some of the sheer unrelenting madness of 'Calculating Infinity'. Overall, however, I think it balanced out, and I was prepared for further change with 'Ire Works', whatever it might be.
Unsurprisingly, 'Ire Works' is an extension of the ideas found in 'Miss Machine', and it's sure to raise the ire(hahaha) of many a fan. That said, some are severely overstating the change. I've noticed that at least two people here have compared this to the change Metallica underwent by making the Black Album. This is a comically ridiculous comparison, and I say that as someone who doesn't see that release as an abomination before God and Man. First of all, roughly half of the material here would fit in on 'Calculating Infinity' nicely. You sure as hell can't say that of the Black album and Metallica's 80's material. Second, there are only two really overtly commercial tracks on here. ('Black Bubblegum' and 'Milk Lizard', of course.) 'Sick on Sunday', 'Dead As History' and 'Mouth of Ghosts' may not be old-school DEP, but they ain't gonna get much play on the radio either, and the idea that this album is, as a whole, particularly commerical is truly laughable. I'll admit that I think they maybe went a little too far and I think this could definitely stand to have maybe one more pure tech-metalcore track. Still, the fact of the matter is that all the material here is first-rate, so I can't complain too much. Anwyway, with an album this dense, I'm not prepared to say whether or not it's superior or inferior to their earlier releases, but I can say that it's worthy of being mentioned alongside them, creating a three-release sequence that few bands can match.
Again, 'Ire Works' is an extension of 'Miss Machine', continuing to mix DEPs signature frenetic, flailing technical metalcore with electronic elements and some singing/melody. We've got a few changes, with Gil Sharone taking over on drums, Ben Weinman now the sole guitarist and a sharper, much more expensive production, particularly when compared to the rougher than expected 'Miss Machine'. None of these changes hurt the band, in my estimation. Weinman is more than sufficient to cover the guitars in the studio, Sharone is, if anything, more manic than his predecessor, and the production is crystal-clear without sacrificing any intensity.
The openers, 'Fix Your Face' and 'Lurch' ought to satisfy old-time DEP junkies, though no doubt some will naysay them anyway. The guitars are pure metallic shards twisted through lightning fast, shifting time signatures, the drums a mad, jazz-metal cacophony and Puciato's vocals primarily either a feral shriek or roar. This is vintage DEP, and few people can do it like them. On the downside, they can't quite match the extravagant brilliance of these tracks with any of the later tech tracks, but they're all very good.
Then the album takes a weird turn. 'Black Bubblegum' is the most controversial track, and while I can respect why some people hate it, I don't. Fact is, I like it a lot. No, it's not particularly sophisticated, certainly not sophisticated at all by DEP standards, but it's a fun, catchy track. I wouldn't want 'em to make an album exclusively like this, but in the whole context I think it works well. The pacing also gets a bit off at this point, with two neat interludes followed by a very short tech track followed by another short, 'Calculating Infinity'+ more electronics style instrumental. I've nothing against having what is almost an intermission in the album, but it comes too early.
Anyway, after this sort of interlude we get to '82588′ and 'Party Smasher', two more caustic, tech-metal barrages, which are sandwiched around another controversial track, 'Milk Lizard'. '82588′ and 'Party Smasher' aren't as good as the two openers, but they're still remarkably solid, and I'm, again, fond of the controversial song. 'Milk Lizard'is a bit more out there than 'Black Bubblegum', but you can still see it being played on the radio. Nevertheless, I think it works as such, with a varied, powerful performance from Puciato and a nice epic ending.
The album closes with three more unusual tracks. 'Dead as History' reminds somewhat of 'Phone Home', as it's another relatively slow-burning, electronically tinged track, albeit with more melody this time around. Again, I wouldn't want them to make an entire album of this material, but it works as a one-off on a particular album. 'Horse Hunter' opens up as another techy number, but it gets a bit more conventional as it moves on, changing into straight up pounding metallic punk mixed with some ghostly, falsetto melody. Not the best track here, but it definitely works. Finally we get to the unusual closer, 'Mouth of Ghosts'. This is a moody, low-key number with smooth, flowing bass, jazzy piano, ethereal, reverberating guitars all before the expansive, epic close. Initially I didn't think this one totally worked, but after a few listens I think it's a great and unexpected closer. The last minute and a half is just fantastic, with perhaps Puciato's most emotional, affecting vox ever. It's an effective culmination of the album.
Anyway, there's not much else to say. This is just a remarkably sophisticated, intense album, and DEP are perhaps the best band on the planet. Get it.

The police in Soroti are still investigating circumstances under which a student of Teso View Secondary School, Mbale, died in her home village following an attempted abortion.
Scovia Apule, 24, a resident of Kamuda Sub County in Soroti district was found lifeless in her hut drenched in a pool of blood with a six months old foetus 'peeping' through her genitals; a clear indication that she was attempting to abort the pregnancy.
Ms. Grace Akure, the mother of the deceased said that she had not discovered the girl's pregnancy and believes that she was trying to abort it in order to hide it from her.
"She came back home for holidays on Friday while I was still at my place of work. I had not taken time to closely examine and talk to her about school life and I was shocked when I got her dead in her hut," Ms. Akure said.
The Soroti OC CID, Mr. Wasswa Ayub confirmed that the girl had allegedly died of over bleeding and police was investigating if there was some 'assistance' rendered during the abortion.
"We are still investigating whether there was some external aid to the act and we will interrogate family members closely," Wasswa said.
Reports from Soroti Regional Referral Hospital where the body was taken for s post-mortem indicated that the deceased lost her life due to severe bleeding in the process of abortion.

The Bengals rolled into camp Thursday which means two things. While we're still several weeks out before the regular season starts, the NFL is back, baby! That also means the camera crew of Hard Knocks previewed their role to some Bengals players.
"It's going to be really weird," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "I've only been here for maybe an hour-and-a-half. They're coming in the room with you and sticking the camera in your car window. It's definitely different. But I've talked to a couple of guys who have experienced the 'Hard Knocks' deal, and they said after a couple of days, you kind of get past it and don't even realize they're around."
Will it be a distraction?
"I think there will be some distraction to it, but it shouldn't hurt us," Bratkowski said.
"I'm melancholy, I guess," Zimmer said. "I understand the benefits and the negative things. I've been through it before. It wasn't a bad experience, but I'm superstitious. We didn't have a good year that year."

What is a Field School?
An archaeological field school is an intensive introduction to archaeological methods. The academic component of the program is a 6-hour course called Field Archaeology (ANTH 4642). Students learn how to excavate, how to draw maps and profiles, how to record archaeological data (using the CCAP's iPad-based digital data collection system), and how to look for and record new archaeological sites by surveying transects through the jungle. Students also learn how to process and analyze the artifacts found during excavations. Therefore, although students are learning by doing, they are also contributing directly to ongoing research on the ancient Maya. That's why we call this program a Research Abroad opportunity!
In 2014 students will be excavating at Chan Chich and conducting survey in nearby Gallon Jug. The two activities will expose students to a wide-range of archaeological methods and techniques.
Who Can Participate?
The field school is open to college students who have completed one year of course work and have at least a 2.5 GPA, regardless of major. Space on the Belize program is limited to 12 new students per session. The slots will be assigned to the most qualified students, but applying early will improve your chances of being accepted to the program. Applications will be processed in two batches, so getting your application in early helps your chances of getting a slot tremendously.
Students must be physically capable of excavating and hiking in order to participate on the field school. Excavating entails lifting up to 25 pounds, swinging a pick, and using a shovel, in addition to more detailed work using a trowel and paint brush. Survey entails hiking through the jungle while wearing a backpack (carrying up to a gallon of water) and snake guards.
When is the Program?
For the first time, Texas Tech is offering two field sessions.Each session includes 28 nights at Chan Chich.
First Session: May 19 to June 16, 201 (full, accepting waitlist applications).Secoond Session:June 19 to July 17, 2014 (a few spots left!).
Application Deadline: March 1, 2014 (or until spaces are filled).
The Facilities: Chan Chich Lodge
The field school is based at Chan Chich Lodge, which is located in the main plaza of the site. This makes getting to the field rather easy! Our project will be based just outside the plaza in two large cabanas and a large house. The thatch-roofed cabanas will be fitted with bunk beds, and they have 24-hour electricity, ceiling fans, and private bathrooms with hot water. Up to 5–7 students will share a cabana; the exact number will depend on the numbers of men and women who are accepted to the program.. Some students will be housed in the lab house. We will be served our meals in the lodge's restaurant. The lodge has wireless internet in the restaurant and bar, cell phone coverage, and a screened-in swimming pool with hot tub.
As far as field camps go, you can't do much better. In 2011, Chan Chich Lodge won the Condé Nast Johansens Award for Most Excellent Lodge For Mexico & Central America and was a finalist for Condé Nast Best Eco-Resort.
How Much?
The estimated 2014 costs for new students are:
Tuition*: ~$1,850 for 6 hours.
Program Fee: $3,250 for regular session (28 nights). This fee may go down, but it will not go up.
Airfare**: ~$800

METAIRIE, La. ― Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins would like those who follow his team to know one thing.
They know. They understand. They're doing what they can to fix it.
He's talking about the lack of interceptions New Orleans has grabbed heading into Week 12's home nationally televised game against the New York Giants.
"Before you guys caught wind of it, we caught wind of it," Jenkins said. "We've already gotten frustrated, tried some new things and gotten over it."
The Saints sit next-to-last in the NFL with only five interceptions; only Pittsburgh's four pickoffs are fewer.
But one man's trash is another man's gold and for the Saints, the lack of interceptions isn't a good stat, but the defense has been there, creating tons of pass breakups.
"I think we're at least in the top one or two in PBUs as far as the secondary goes," Jenkins said. "We're making plays. We're around the ball. It's to the point now where we've just got to catch them."
According to the website NFLGSIS.com, the Saints rank eighth with 55 passes defensed. And Saints cornerback Jabari Greer is tied for fourth-best in the NFL with 14.
Still, the Saints would like to get the interception total up to 2009 standards, a season in which they had 26 interceptions on their way to 39 takeaways for the year.
Cornerback Tracy Porter said you can't discount the mental aspect at this point in the season, though he credits each individual player's outlook with moving beyond.
"It can be," Porter said. "You know you're not catching them and you get down. But that's just the attitude you have. If you have that attitude feel sorry for me, then you're going to continue to have problems. But if you continue to work at it and know it's going to come and have those high spirits, eventually your time will come."
The Saints' defensive backs work on catching the ball daily and on Friday, pulled out a rarely-used drill, one in which an assistant lofts a pass to a back-pedaling defensive back, who must then jump high to catch the ball.
Coach Sean Payton said it's just one of a number of things the Saints defense does to work on catching the ball.
"Those skill groups can't spend enough time on the JUGS machines post-practice and pre-practice," Payton said. "It's something that not only are you on the JUGS machines, but you have to vary the distance you are operating from it and really create what are game-like opportunities as opposed to just ten yards away catching bullets thrown at you. Hopefully it's something that can come in numbers and we can get a few of those as we hit this next stretch of the season."

The body found in a drainage ditch by a passerby has been identified as 56-year-old Terri Anderson.
The Peoria County coroner says Anderson was strangled to death.
Anderson was last seen on the night of May 18th at her home.
Her ex-husband, Daniel Wilson, says he last saw her when he dropped her off at the house.
On May 19th Wilson was arrested on a variety of charges including forgery, theft and domestic battery.
The charges all involve Anderson but are not directly related to her disappearance.
He has since been released from jail on a notice to appear.
The Peoria Police Department and the Coroner's Office continue to investigate.

There's a lot of confusion around here on this Father's Day. We were trying to discern what to burn on the grill this afternoon (as is the tradition of my people), and the question of Dad's favorite meat came up. I have gained a true and abiding affection over the years for the boneless rib-eye steak. The cut of meat itself is pretty self explanatory - it comes from the center of the rib and is generally more marbled and tender than many other cuts. It has come to our attention that this cut is sometimes referred to as "Delmonico." For a more in-depth dissertation on the subject, I refer you to the following link.
That set me to thinking: For a good many years I had my go-to steakhouse, the Wrangler 2. They did some pretty amazing barbecue there, but I had my favorite and I ordered it the same until they started asking me if I wanted something different before sending my order in, out of courtesy. They called it the Trail Herder. It was a twelve ounce rib eye and I had mine medium and basted with their sauce, with cole slaw and ranch fries. I ordered the "cattleman's cut" as opposed to the "cowgirl's cut." And now we reach my point - the "cowgirl cut" was the same steak, just three ounces less. I would suggest that you have to be mighty solidly in touch with your masculinity to walk into a steakhouse decorated in branding irons and barbed wire samples and ordering a "cowgirl's cut" - if you're a man or a woman. The implication being that maybe you just aren't man enough for those last three ounces of meat. Wasn't it enough that I ordered a "Trail Herder" in the first place, now I have to give the modifier of boy steak or girl steak? Is this the world I want to live in?
Okay - the truth is I still probably wouldn't do the "cowgirl's cut" - enlightened eating habits and all. I want a rib eye steak that makes me have to think about those last couple of bites. And then eat them too.

Just having a website is like printing a batch of glossy brochures and then locking them in the cupboard.
Simply designing and publishing a website on the internet does not mean that you are going to get visitors to it. Traffic to your website needs to be pushed and pulled to it and this very often takes more effort than the website development itself.
A website is the perfect resource that you can send people to, to find out more about your company, products, promotions, etc. But, you are sending your website visitors. This visitor is somebody that you already have contact with -- so you CAN push them to your website.
On this level a website works well. Of cause there are matters like whether or not the website provides the correct brand message, or whether it delivers a positive user experience but that is for another article.
If you are happy with your website just satisfying your existing customers then you are disregarding the full potential the internet.
When looking for accommodation in Jeffreys Bay or a painter to paint your office, who do you turn to? In the past we used the Yellow Pages, but today youre probably going to Google it.
Most of the clients that I have spoken to are no longer spending much on the Yellow Pages and many of them have stopped all together. The reality is that more and more people are using the search engines [Google primarily in South Africa] to search for products and services.
Where does your website feature on Google when you search for the products and services that you offer? Dont search for Supa Quick! Search for tyre dealers!
If your competition is displayed before you, they are going to be contacted first. If you not on the first page or thereabout you not going to be contacted at all!
You do need a website! But just a website is not going to cut it. You need good- web advice, a web strategy [that incorporates the social platforms, ad campaigns, SEO, etc] and contextual content. All of which is probably going to cost you more than the website itself.
How a website can do so much more...

My wife and I are hunting for a "different" destination for the last week of April.... ruling out Zion because the closures effect alot of the shady cragging. How's Sedona that time? Enough shady stuff? Oak creek conditions? Paradise Forks conditions? Thanks Andy
Sedona should be beautiful that time of year, as will Oak Creek Canyon. They will likely be a bit warm in the sun, but great in the shade. Paradise Forks will be nice in the sun. If you are fine with cold nights then you should be OK. If you want more info or route suggestions let me know. HTH.
Last week of april usually everything from flag down to sedona is really good. The biggest issue i have found weather wise is that it can be windy at that time. Make sure to take full advantage and hit sedona, the forks, and the waterfall, and if your ok with pebble wrestling priest draw is a really unique and amazing place.
Spring in NAZ is notoriously windy, and can make some of the longer routes in Sedona less than enjoyable, though there is a lot to pick from. At that time of year though you could do a classic tour of the Winslow wall, Paradise Forks, the Waterfall, and select Sedona routes, and have a great time. Isolation Canyon is an hour and a half from Flag, and is also quite a stunning crag.
We'll be there April 22-30th if anyone wants a beer night :) I hope the wind is kind.....

Smoking marijuana is no longer against the law, at least not in Washington state.
Washington voters recently approved the recreational use of the drug.
Some think legalizing pot in South Dakota might be a solution for decreasing the state's exploding prison population.
Yesterday we showed you how governor Daugaard's criminal justice initiative is working to control the state's incarceration rates and spending.
Thursday, we spoke with a member of a group who says South Dakota could learn a lesson from Washington state as a solution.
Emmit Reistroffer is a member of the South Dakota group Families First. He says we could learn from other states that have legalized marijuana.
"The laws were quite lengthy. These laws in charge those state governments with oversight, with developing a licensing system so there's nothing to hide. There's a lot to learn obviously with what's going on," Reistroffer said.
South Dakota Families First is dedicated to keeping non-violent criminals with their families and out of prison.
"I think we know the laws we have had, haven't been working very well if we're trying to get rid of marijuana, so that's why other states are talking about regulation. That's why we want to talk about marijuana in South Dakota and how we should handle it," Reistroffer said.
Reistroffer said for those against legalizing pot, there are other solutions to keeping people out of prison.
"Make it a ticket-able offense so that the person's life isn't ruined. They don't have a record or a conviction on the record. They can go on with their life and continue to be productive citizens without burdening the system and eventually going to jail," Reistroffer said.
Governor Daugaard is taking a look at how much the prison population is costing taxpayers. Resitroffer said Washington and Colorado may have found the answer.
"Culturally, South Dakota doesn't want to ruin people's lives over it. We really need to find that balance. I think decriminalization is a good start because right now we're putting way too much money and resources into locking people up for marijuana," Reistroffer said.
We looked at how many people are incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses.
As of October 31st, nearly 500 men and women or more than 13-percent of the prison population is in jail for drug possession as a primary offense.
Those numbers are higher than any other criminal offense, violent or non-violent.

Eight different players, including all six seniors, scored in the third quarter to give North a 42-22 lead at the third stop.
North hosts Switzerland County (4-4), a potential sectional opponent, Saturday afternoon.
Lady Cougars post comeback win
The South Decatur girls basketball team trailed by nine points late in the third quarter, but the Lady Cougars roared back to post a 55-49 win over host Morristown.
Despite multiple starters with four fouls in the fourth quarter, the Cougars made clutch shots and secured the ball down the stretch. South outscored the Yellow Jackets 15-6 in the fourth quarter.

Eocene Extension in the Northen Rockies
Eocene metamorphic core complexes comprise a belt of hyper-extended terrains exposed from western Montana to northeastern Washington and British Columbia. Exposure of the core complexes resulted from widespread extension that began ca. 55 to 53 Ma during the final stages of or immediately afterwards shortening ended in the Cordilleran thrust belt (Foster et al., 2007). Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the onset of rapid Eocene extension and associated magmatism in the northern Cordillera including: orogen collapse, asthenospheric upwelling within a slab window, rapid rollback of Farallon slab, regional transtension associated with northward motion of the Kula plate, or accretion of the Siletzia terrane (e.g., Armstrong et al., 1977; Severinghaus and Atwater, 1990; Morris et al., 2000 Breitsprecher et al., 2003; Haeussler et al., 2003; Foster et al., 2007; Humphreys, 2009a).
We are currently focusing research on the Anaconda metamorphic core complex, which is the eastern-most major core complex in the Cordilleran. We are applying detailed geochronology, thermochronology, and structural analysis to unravel the exhumation history and kinematics in this complex. Our results have implications for the timing, duration, and rate of extension in the Anaconda complex, as well as the Eocene tectonic and magmatic environment in the northern Cordillera.
