Maltz Jupiter Theatre Presents THE KING AND I, Now thru 4/6
Get ready to be completed enchanted by the magic of The King and I, featuring a large-scale musical like you've never seen it before!
Come along on a journey to Siam as the Tony Award®-winning masterpiece The King and I bursts onto the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's stage today, March 18 through April 6, complete with imaginative scenic design, lavish costumes and a lush score of classics, including "Getting to Know You," "Hello Young Lovers" and many more. This Broadway phenomenon will leave you whistling a happy tune!
"We are ecstatic to be ending our season with a gorgeous, sweeping adventure that will truly excite our audiences and whet their appetites to renew their subscriptions next season or become new subscribers," said Andrew Kato, the Theatre's producing artistic director.
The fifth musical by the powerhouse team of composer Richard Rodgers and dramatist Oscar Hammerstein II, The King and I has been an instant hit since its opening on Broadway in 1951. It won five Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, and has had many tours and revivals since then - including a 1996 Broadway revival which also earned five Tony Awards®, including Best Revival of a Musical. The 1956 film version was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won five.
This is your chance to see why millions of people around the world continue to fall in love with the story of cultured British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens in 19th century Siam and the imperialist King. The musical is based on the writings of the real Anna, who served as governess to the King's children in the 1860s.
"In recent years, the Maltz Jupiter Theatre has been recognized for reinventing American classics as if theatergoers are seeing them for the first time," Kato said. "As she has done for us before, director and choreographer Marcia Milgrom Dodge is again using her creative brilliance to re-imagine the production using large-scale shadow puppetry and many exciting new design elements."
A Tony Award® nominee, Milgrom Dodge most recently headed the Theatre's critically-acclaimed productions of Hello, Dolly! (Carbonell Award for best director) and Anything Goes (Carbonell Award for best choreography), as well as the Theatre's production of Master Class. The design team also features costume design by Leon Wiebers, scenic design by Narelle Sissons and music direction by Carbonell Award winner Helen Gregory.
Featuring 36 performers, the production stars Michele Ragusa as Anna, seen recently on Broadway in Young Frankenstein, Urinetown, Ragtime, A Class Act, Titanic and Cyrano. Wayne Hu stars as the King, recently seen in Camelot and King for a Day with The Glimmerglass Festival and La Bohème with Opera Memphis. The King and I also includes performances by 14 local children (ages 6 - 11) from Lake Worth to the Treasure Coast, cast through the Theatre's annual First Step to Stardom audition program.
The King and I is sponsored by Roe Green and the Roe Green Foundation, Joe and Kathy Savarese and Homecare America and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Theatre's 62 new club level seats are available for single tickets and subscription upgrades for The King and I. Group rates are available, and the Theatre's new upstairs club level lounge, The Green Room, is available for private events and functions.
Also currently on sale are subscriptions for the Theatre's 2014/15 season, Spark Your Imagination, featuring The Foreigner, Fiddler on the Roof, The Wiz, Glengarry Glen Ross and LES MISERABLES. Buy or renew now to get the best seats available; the new season is not to be missed!
Tickets for The King and I start at $52 and may be purchased by calling (561) 575-2223 or visiting www.jupitertheatre.org/shows/TheKingandI.

I was lucky enough to attend one of their live shows when they were here in America and I can't wait to own this set for posterity.
PS: the official website indicates May 5th as the release date, Amazon has it for a June 13th release. The May 5th date could be just for Europe, I'll keep my fingers crossed that this item will be released on May 5th here in the States too. Finally as one might expect this is gonna be a pricey set, but hopefully (as always) Amazon will give us a great deal on it, way below MSRP.

Time for a new subforum?
Is it time for a Star Trek II (XII) forum?
Two and a half years. Nice to see everyone!
We need new moderators first....
but maybe.
I guess we'll see sometime next year if they do a revamp here or launch a new site totally for the sequel.
I am a sucker for the whole "Join date" old school proof thing. So, I hope they just port us over if they do that.
Need things to heat up again before I see a revamp for this place or a new forum. My guess is till not till June next year.

I'm looking to spend a week in CO early Fall 2014. What are people's opinions on the best option for a 5.8ish 1,000'+ climb?
The people have already (collectively) spoken: www.mountainproject.com/scripts/Search.php?searchType=routeF>>> Fiddle with the settings to get exactly what you want.
I liked the South Face of Petit Grepon, heard good things about Culp Bossier, but yet to do it.
Avalon, if you are literal with early Fall (after Sept. 21), you may find this a hard to fill list. 1000' makes the list pretty short too, as this knocks out Eldo, most of the S. Platte, and Lumpy. You get left mostly Black Canyon (few longer 5.8s or lower), Flatirons (low angle), or a lucky Sept. or Oct. day in RMNP. Also, the north-ish aspect climbs higher get cold by late Sept. for most. Consider linking two shorter (500') climbs to broaden your options or coming earlier than Fall. If you're willing to do crampons and tools, your options broaden somewhat, too...but you only listed a rock grade.

The languages of ancient India and Pakistan are usually called Indo-Aryan. Indo-Aryan languages are considered a branch of the Indo-Iranian language family, which is a branch of the Indo-European family of languages.
Indo-European --> Indo-Iranian --> Indo-Aryan (Indic)
Because of the negative connotation of the term Aryan, Indic often replaces Indo-Aryan, so you might see Indic listed as a branch of the Indo-Iranian language family.
There are multiple Indo-Aryan or Indic languages. The oldest Indo-Aryan or Indic languages are
- Sanskrit (a literary language),
- Prakrit (a vernacular),
- Pali (like Prakrit but used for writing Buddhist texts), and
- Apabhramsa (ancestor of most modern Indo-Aryan/Indic languages).

Just as eating too much junk food or being overweight can cause fertility problems, weighing too little or not eating enough can affect your reproductive potential.
Some people cope with stress by dieting, or find that they lose their appetite when under a lot of pressure.
At the extreme, the eating disorder anorexia can end your menstrual cycles. No menstrual cycle means no ovulation. Without ovulation, you can't get pregnant.
While we're talking about extreme dieting, there are "fertility diets" online that preach some crazy practices, with little or no research behind their recommendations.
If you've bought into one of these fertility diets, take note of your eating habits. If something inside your heart is whispering, "You know, this diet does seem a little nuts," then it probably is. (Ask me how I know.)
A balanced diet, complete with whole grains, lots of veggies and fruits, healthy fats, and protein, is what you should aim for. Complete or near elimination of entire food groups, as some of these diets suggest, is not a good idea.
On a similar note, just as too much dieting can negatively affect your fertility, too much exercise is also a problem.
How much is too much? Find out in this next bit, on getting pregnant and exercise.

Contest that celebrates the history and lore of "America's Game" makes its annual return to the airwaves
Play ball! Baseball is back and with it a flood of memories as the boys of summer return to the diamond. Since the barbershop has traditionally been a place to gather and discuss sports, it's only fitting that Roosters Men's Grooming Center should sponsor the Third Inning Trivia Contest during radio coverage. And, it got us thinking: what is it about baseball that makes grown men (and women) want to remember obscure facts and figures about baseball? The Rooster decided to go to the source and ask Sky Sox announcer Dan Karcher.
For Sky Sox announcer, love of sport is not a trivial pursuit:
Dan Karcher has loved baseball for as long as he can remember. "I recall going to Anaheim with my Dad to see the Angels when I was a kid and years later when I went with my Dad and my siblings. Those kind of memories stick with you," he states.
A. "Baseball is such an historic sport; it's part of the fabric of our country. Trivia connects us to the past, to when we were kids. There is a certain mystique to it," Dan replies.
Roosters owner Kevan Worley agrees. "As part of our community involvement, Roosters likes supporting the Sky Sox and the traditions of baseball on the radio. Frankly, Roosters evokes a time when men would hang out at their local barber shop listening to baseball on the radio and arguing about who the best players of all time were."
Q. Where are people when they listen to you?
A. According to Dan, "A lot of people bring their radio to the ballpark. In the old days it was a transistor radio, now it's an iPod. If they can't make it to the game I picture a lot of people listening to the game in their cars, or maybe while they are tinkering in the garage or doing yard work."
Q. How does listening differ from viewing?
A. "Radio is often called a theater of the mind. When you listen on radio, you get to use your imagination. Most of us know what a baseball park looks like, so we can visualize it while we listen."
Q. Where can we find you?
A. "The Sky Sox games broadcast on AM 1300, known as 'The Animal.'
Q. How has easy access to answers online affected the trivia contest?
A. "It's taken a bit of the fun out of it, he replies. "Don't get me wrong, as a play-by-play announcer the ability to look up stats in a hurry is a lifesaver. But we have made the trivia questions a little more complicated and a bit more obscure, which should keep it challenging."
Q. How long has the Third Inning Trivia Contest been in existence?

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The University of South Alabama is marking the 50th anniversary of its founding.
The school will hold a celebration on campus in Mobile on Friday night to commemorate its start in 1963.
Gov. Robert Bentley will attend, and officials are planning a special recognition for President Gordon Moulton, who is retiring on July 1.
State lawmakers approved legislation authorizing the school on May 3, 1963, and classes started the next year.
The university has since awarded more than 75,000 degrees, and it now has more than 15,000 students.

Have been a big admirer of Ray Allen's work so took the inspiration to copy one of his vessel plans and add one of my own feature ring designs. I called the piece Odyssey. The vessel is made mostly of Birds eye maple. The Feature ring is composed of Koa, yellow heart, maple, ebony and Inlace. The accent rings at the top and bottom are Blood wood and maple with separation rings of Hawaiian Ohi'a. Learned a lesson on this – the Inlace has a tendency to slip out of the round holes while turning – Inlace doesn't adhere well to hardwood – so after roughing, I poured some thin CA on each of the round Inlace plugs, allowed it to soak down into the wood and then hit it with activator which seemed to bind the Inlace well to the vessel. Vessel is approx.. 8 inches in Dia as well as hight. As always, Comments or suggestions are deeply appreciated.

Archaeological methods and methodologies
Archaeology has a suite of methods which enable us to access information about the past. In order to answer various questions about life in the past we must have some data to analyse. This data is accessed or created using various methodologies. All kinds of questions can be asked of archaeological data: Who? What? Where? When? How? and Why?
Conventional archaeological investigations include documentary or historical research. There is usually some degree of preliminary survey (whether using geophysics, aerial photography, oral history or other prospecting tools). This is followed by excavation in which a targeted (or sampled) area of the site or landscape is subjected to analysis. Artefacts and ecofacts are recorded for analysis and the different features of the site are recorded for posterity. All this enables the archaeologist to reconstruct the area of interest and examine the various aspects of the site. Typical questions that we might ask are: How does the distribution of finds change over time and what are the relationships between different areas of the site? Is there a clear division of the space according to gender or task roles, and what does this tell us about life in the past?
All of these are fairly conventional questions and conventional methodologies by which we might answer them. However, various weird and wonderful methods of studying the past abound. This section takes a look at some of the more weird and less wonderful.
Written by James Doeser
3 Responses to Dubious methodologies
Hancock´s research like some other authors is intended to accumulate evidence, pose questions and try some hypotheses. It is, as it happens in other branches of knowledge, a legitimate attempt to burst the bubble of official science and its rigid, boring and scholastic methods that pretend to discard anything that is not born from the method designed by Galileo (this pretention of uniqueness and absoluteness as one of its features inherited from its predecessor: the Christian Church).
It would be long just to quote many breakthroughs in current science that have been incepted from the plain curiosity and audacious open-mindedness (which have also been battled fiercely by the corresponding elites of those times). Western science is -apart from honest scholars- a body of elitism, corruption and participation in mass control, and no wonder that anything uncomfortable for its status and dogmatic foundations should be written off. This pretention to write off any other possibility is even more ridiculous in the case of sciences as Archealogy, Anthropology or Economics in which most of its main methods are mere worthless myths with enormous mass manipulative value and minuscule practical value.
Economics a science? Surely it is more of an art. When I studied it it was as part of humanities, along with law and accountancy actually.
Why is it that people who so want to believe in Hancock et al and their half baked theories always start by denigrating science. As I understand it scientists work by trying to disprove their hypotheses. Rather the opposite of your view of them.

Ambrose Qualifies Second for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at Martinsville
Ford Qualifying Results:
2nd – Marcos Ambrose
4th – Joey Logano
7th – Brad Keselowski
9th – Carl Edwards
20th – Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
22nd – Greg Biffle
23rd – David Ragan
30th – David Gilliland
34th – Aric Almirola
42nd – Casey Mears
JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – "Todd Gordon and all the guys did a good job on this Shell/Pennzoil Ford getting it better for me than what we had in practice. In practice there were some things that I could have done better, but we just worked as a team and made it a little better. I'm pretty sure it's not gonna hold up, but it's gonna be better than where we were in practice. Having a decent starting spot here really means a lot." WHAT'S THE CHALLENGE FOR YOU HERE? "It's actually a little bit easier than normal because you get a warm-up lap and then your first and second lap are fairly similar in time, so, as a driver, if you make a mistake, you have another lap. Typically, it's one lap and that's all you've got, so it gives you a little bit more time here as a driver."
ARIC ALMIROLA – No. 43 Jani-King/STP Ford Fusion – "That's obviously disappointing. We want to be better than that for sure. Martinsville is extremely important to qualify good and have track position all day, so that's tough. It will just force us to put our heads down and figure out something for tomorrow. We'll get a better package going for tomorrow. We'll work real hard and get this STP Gas Boosters Fusion running a little better."
MARCOS AMBROSE – No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion – "You can always say you could get more out of it, but it was a solid lap. Our No. 9 Stanley Ford has been on a rail today. I'm just really proud to come out here strong. We had a fast car off the truck and it's really gonna help us." WILL A DAY LIKE TODAY BE THE START OF SOMETHING GOOD? "Yeah, it can turn us around, no doubt. We're a great team. We've got all the ingredients. We proved today that if we get our stuff right we can do it. We've just got to get some momentum and get some confidence back. Our little team is a tough team, but we've been knocked around pretty good. It's like we've gone nine rounds with Mike Tyson, but we're coming back strong here and we won't quit."
BRAD KESELOWSKI – No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion – YOU JUST PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF TECH, HOPPED IN AND RAN A PRETTY GOOD LAP. "That's what I get paid to do (laughing). That's as tough as we make it. We're obviously trying to do all we can do to maximize the performance of our car and we just missed that a little bit. That's all right. NASCAR is trying to keep us all line, so we kind of had to hustle to get out there and do what we could to put up the best lap possible. That's not quite as fast as I hoped we'd be, but I think it will probably end up somewhere around 10th to start the race. That's not bad, but not great either, but we'll have somewhere to start from so that's good." HOW IMPORTANT IS A 10TH PLACE STARTING SPOT? "I think qualifying here itself is not necessarily important, but pit selection is because it's a really small pit road. That could really play a big benefit to you in the closing stages of the race when you have a pit stop and you can get out in front of somebody, especially with double-file restarts. With double-file restarts if you get a bad lane on a restart, especially on that last restart, it could be your whole race, so having a good pit stall, if that moves you up one or two spots on the last restart, is what you want."
RICKY STENHOUSE JR. – No. 17 Fifth Third Bank Ford Fusion – "We backed up what we did in practice, so at least we didn't get any worse. I was just a little tight. This place is pretty tricky, but I went out there and hit my marks and we didn't go slower than practice, so I think that's a success. We wanted to go faster for sure, but, all in all, I think we'll have a decent starting spot. It won't be the worst we've had this year, so we'll keep learning. We come back here again. This track hasn't been one of Roush Fenway's best in the past, so we'll just keep learning. We've got a long day tomorrow to practice some more and figure it out, and then 500 laps on Sunday. We've still got a lot to learn, but, all in all, not too bad."
CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion – "I hate to say I'm happy with that lap, but I am. That was a pretty good lap for me. If we could do it again, we could be faster. The guys made some changes that we wanted. We needed one more run in practice. The warm-up lap I tried something and then the first lap I tried something different and finally the last lap I did what I knew I could do. The car is pretty fast, though. It's faster than I was on that run."
DAVID RAGAN – No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford Fusion – "Martinsville is a fun track. All three of our teams unloaded with a little different package because we're still trying to figure out the Generation-6 car at these short tracks. So it was good to pick up from practice and we made some gains in qualifying. Every one-thousandth is important here at Martinsville, so I'm excited about the race on Sunday and pleased with our qualifying effort. It was on OK lap."
MARCOS AMBROSE – No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion – "It just feels great to get a front row spot. Like Brian, we're less than a hundredth away from the top spot and felt like a would, shoulda, coulda out there. It was just a little extra time to get the pole, but we'll take it. This track has been a great track for Petty Enterprises. I think they're tied with Hendrick for the most wins here at 19, so we'd love to keep that streak going and go one better and get their 20th win around this place. That would be fun, but we've had tough start to our season. It's just good to be in this room and I feel good about our race on Sunday. The car has been on a rail since we got here and it's a nice change."
ANY IDEA WHY IT'S BEEN A TOUGH START, AND HOW ARE THINGS WITH DREW? "Drew is fantastic. We're lucky to have Drew. I'm lucky to have him. I get along with him great. We just have not gotten it done. You could look for excuses, but the new car has taken us for a bit of a loop and we just haven't hit our stride. We finally tested for the first time during the week at Richmond and I think that's really helped us here, and I think it's gonna help us at most of these shorter race tracks, more mechanical grip type race tracks, so we just have to keep fighting. It's not easy. We have under-performed, no doubt, so we've got to turn our season around and this is a good way to start that."
THOUGHTS ON CAMBER ISSUES WITH THE NEW CAR. "It certainly has been on our project list early in the season was checking the temperature in the rear end to make sure the camber wasn't excessive. We haven't seen any issues with it. I think it's less about mechanical problems now and more about the tires and how much camber can you get away with for speed versus durability over the long run. In most forms of open-wheel racing or racing have a certain amount of camber in when there are no rules, but they don't have too much camber to blow tires out, so it's a fine line between lap time and durability."

State health officials say at least 25 people have become sick from salmonella found in a Mexican-style cheese made with raw milk.
According to state health officials, most but not all the cases were confirmed to be the same strain of salmonella. At least 15 people were hospitalized. All have recovered.
The sicknesses occurred between March 28 and April 24.
Investigators say in many of the cases the people who got sick ate queso fresco they purchased from an individual who made the product at a private home. The same individual made home deliveries and may also have sold the cheese near East Lake Street in Minneapolis.
Minnesota law allows people to purchase raw milk for their own consumption, but they can't sell it.

November 24, 2013 by hallyd
Last weekend I headed off to deepest darkest Dorking to spend the weekend with other school leaders to attend #SLTcamp – an unconference put together by Stephen Lockyer and Sarah Findlater. My reasons for going were simple, since September I have been acting Deputy Head and just before half term was appointed full time, for me the weekend presented an opportunity to discuss leadership, school systems, meet new friends and think about my own style of leadership that I am looking to develop.
The weekend was amazing and this blog will not do justice to the the feel, atmosphere and passion that was on display – and that was just during the Salsa dancing
It all started on Friday when setting my Satnav I set off, I was getting slightly worried as day turned to dusk, the roads became narrower and my signal became non-existent. I eventually found the youth hostel and walked in to be greeted by people I had never met before but felt like I already knew because of twitter. Penny Leach and I quickly became acquainted while we made up goody bags, stuck signs on beds, dished out chocolate and unpacked the drinks! People started arriving in a steady flow and it was great to sit and start chatting, find out where people were from and their reasons for venturing.
Then on to tea and a teach meet – Stuart Lock spoke from the heart about CDH Uk a charity very close to his heart and after a teapot was found £400 was raised, the genouristy was amazing, The food was a real highlight of the weekend – vast in quantity and quality and sustained us all. The teach meet went on past 11, but it was a teach meet for me with a difference – no technology! No-one was able to send tweets or check their timelines, everyone went analogue, wrote notes, listened and discussed. It was also more secondary focussed, with some personal highlights for me looking at behaviour in school, embedding literacy an
d developing middle leaders.
Once the teach meet was over it was time for sparklers and more discussions over a fair few bottles or two. Then sleep – much needed!
The morning arrived with the smell of a fry up wafting through the hostel – a great way to start the day and we all set off in convoy to our destination for the day. The duo that are TeacherTweaks had set up a range of ice-breaker activities for us to get to know each other better and to identify our skills – great activities and ones that were easily transferrable to the classroom.
For the rest of the day it was discussions, loosely arranged around key questions and enabled us to form groups and discuss these. During the day I was in groups that looked at levels, CPD for all staff, leading teaching and learning, education tools, education research and the new primary curriculum. By the end of the day my head ached – it was great.
Then back to the hostel to for Mexican night – which involved the surprise of Salsa – this was greeted in equal measure with cries of joy and despair – a bit like the feeling that children can have when approached with something new that puts themselves outside of their boundaries. It was a good reminder of what it feels like.
The next morning was one spent in reflection, although unfortunately I had to leave to be back, so missed the videos that were shown.
However on the journey back I reflected on what I had taken away from the weekend:
- a great new set of twitter 'go tos'
- a group of #goprimary colleagues to add to my network
- wobbly wallets
- importance of educational research and where to go
- more reading material – Teach like a champion and leveraged leadership have landed on my mat
- rolling numbers
- being true to yourself- knowing when to ask for help and where to ask for it.
It was a truly great weekend, one that over the last week at school has come back to me in snippets and pockets as I process it all and begin to put into practice tips that I took away. Overall it was the sense of togetherness – it did not matter who you were or where from – we were all there to learn together.
You can register your interest for #SLTcamp14 here – I suggest you fill that form in now – go on, start building the bridge.

These mango gummies are on the right track but ultimately fell a little short in our taste test. The aroma was spot-on, and they even managed to nail the tough-to-translate piney note that differentiates mango candies from peach. We only wished that these shared the acidity of the tropical fruit they're modeled after.

Don't worry about not seeing many games at the Xbox Announcement
I know some people were concerned about the lack of games being shown at the XBone event. My take on it is that we should assume the new Xbox will play games. The announcement was about seeing what else the new Xbox can do. E3 will bring the game footage and announcements, the even was focused on the other features. Looking forward to seeing what kind of games it can play soon!

Code 42, the Minneapolis start-up that peddles CrashPlan, the automatic real-time PC and mobile backup and recovery service aimed at consumers, SMBs and the enterprise, has gotten a $52.5 million investment from round leader Accel Partners and Split Rock Partners.
It's the company's first investment. It's reportedly been profitable since it launched the widgetry in 2007.
Accel dipped into its new $100 million Big Data Fund for the first time for its share.
Code 42 says it's got some 4,000 enterprise customers including Adobe, Google, Groupon, HP, LinkedIn and NASA and 100PT of data stowed in the cloud: its cloud or private clouds, other computers or devices or some combination or all of these options. That represents a total of 100 billion file and it reportedly gets 250 million unique new files a day...

Despite all the hype of Cloud Computing the reality is that most large enterprises are still only at an early stage of adoption, mainly focused on applying virtualization internally to their existing application estate, what's called Private Cloud.
This does achieve many business benefits but isn't Cloud in the sense of outsourcing to a remote provider.
However although organizations aren't yet ready to put their crown jewels entirely into the Cloud, it doesn't mean that externally hosted Clouds don't offer some kind of value to this scenario; indeed doing so is the first and primary goal of our 'Cloud BCP' best practices...

Business continuity and disaster recovery will always be necessary investments for companies – data and applications are critical tools that support revenue generation, service to customers and their overall success.

The Chicago Cubs are ready to take to the baseball diamond of their new springtime home.
Representatives for the team and Mesa city officials will dedicate the 60,000-square-foot facility, dubbed Cubs Park, Wednesday morning.
Members of the Ricketts family, the franchise's owners, are also expected.
The planned ribbon-cutting ceremony will also mark the opening of this year's inaugural spring training season.
Officials say the facility is the largest in the Cactus League.
The inaugural game at the ballpark will be Feb. 27 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
City voters in 2010 approved a $99 million outlay of public money for the stadium complex, a redo of next-door Riverview Park and infrastructure.

The bill was proposed by the dominant United Russia party and passed Wednesday by a 27 to 1 vote, with one abstention, in the first of three required readings. It calls for a fine of up to $1,600 for "public actions aimed at propaganda of pederasty, lesbianism, bisexuality, and transgenderism among minors."
Alexeyev said the bill could become "the main legal reason to deny any public actions by the LGBT community."
"It theoretically allows the ban of anything anywhere where kids could be present," he told The Associated Press.
Homosexuality was decriminalized in Russia in 1993 and gay clubs operate in most big cities, but discrimination is still widespread. Most attempts by Alexeyev's group to hold rallies have been thwarted by riot police and activists with Russia's dominant Orthodox Church and pro-Kremlin youth movements.

These results are based on 20,816 ballots returned by Tuesday afternoon.
This year's election has gotten a lot of attention after Superintendent Alex Apostle recently received a 13 percent raise, and outraged community members put themselves in the running to replace members of the current board of trustees. The community's outrage showed Tuesday.
Three spots are open for the three-year trustee position. Newcomers Michael Beers, Julie Tompkins, and Diane R. Lorenzen lead the race.
Beers has the most votes with just over 6,303.
Incumbents Scott Bixler and Joe Toth are falling behind in the race.
There are also two one-year terms open.
Ann Wake leads in one, while Rose Dickson leads in the other.
So far, all incumbents are out. Again, these are not the official numbers.
The official numbers will be in by Wednesday morning, once all ballots are counted. For all of the updates click here.

text: YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) - Officials at Yellowstone National Park are reminding the public that the park is closed to hunting. Fall hunting seasons are opening on lands around the park. While most of the park boundary is well marked, officials say it's hunters' responsibility to make sure they don't enter the park. Federal laws prohibit killing or removing any animal, living or dead, from inside Yellowstone. That includes animals that are shot outside the park and die within the park boundaries. It's also illegal to remove any animal parts including shed antlers from the park.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

While the elk population in the rest of the Black Hills has seemingly diminished; there is one place the elk population has nearly doubled over the past 10 years: Wind Cave National Park.
It's the final year of a three year project to attach a GPS device to each of the 76 elk that live in the park.
And biologists say it's the last step before the big push.
"Our plan is to push most of the animals north into Custer State Park," said Duane Weber, A Biological Science Technician with Custer State Park.
Weber says the reason for 'the push' - too many animals call Wind Cave National Park home.
"We have roughly twice the number of elk we should have - so need to cut that population in half," said Weber.
And before they push the elk out in the next few months, Weber says they are in the process of equipping the final 36 elk with a GPS device to monitor their movements.
"The big question is will these animals after they discover they can't return to the park, will they disseminate into the surrounding forest and Custer State Park, or will they be so strongly pulled to their home territories that they'll just hover around the fence," said Weber.
It's a two day process to equip the elk with a collar.
First a helicopter crew hovers over the park, rounding up the elk with a net.
"The net flies over the top of the elk and tangles the elk and trips them to the ground," said Weber.
Then a two man crew ties their feet together, blind fold them, and attach a collar.
"They also take a blood sample and check whether or not the elk is healthy. The whole process takes about 5-7 minutes. Then the elk is released," said Weber.
Afterwards the elk are pushed out of the park.
"We just want to monitor how the push goes and for the next two years after the push, then we'll see if we have to adjust our management plan and figure out what we need to do from there," said Weber.
In two years the crew will stop monitoring the elk. Weber says retrieving the collars is a simple process. He just sends a signal to the collar, it unlocks itself and falls off the elk. And he just uses the GPS signal to know where to collect them.
While there is no plan in place after those two years, park workers modified the boundary fence by raising the height of the fence in sections.
The hope is the taller fence will prevent the elk from returning to Wind Cave National Park and keep them available to hunter harvest on lands beyond the park boundaries.

High police presence for Halloween (From Bucks Free Press)

Some tricks could get you a criminal record, say police, as patrols are stepped up to stop anti-social behaviour
8:50am Tuesday 30th October 2012 in Crime By James Nadal
GHOULS and ghosts may be out in force over Halloween but so will the police as an increased number of bobbies are put on the beat to deal with any malevolent spirits.
Extra officers will be patrolling the streets of Marlow and Wycombe district to ensure the American tradition goes off without any trouble.
Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated, police chiefs say.
And anyone thinking of going trick or treating on or around October 31 have been issued a clear warning - if you are too old to be doing it without a parent, you should not be doing it all.
Police have warned Halloween revellers not to take their antics too far or they could face being arrested and ending the night with a criminal record.
Inspector Ray Wilks, in charge of Wycombe rural, said: "We have a lot of extra staff on the evening to deal with any reports of anti-social behaviour. There will be a greatly increased presence.
"We want everyone to enjoy themselves but not at the expense of other people. Trick or treaters should be accompanied by a parent or otherwise they're too old to be out trick or treating.
"Some tricks might be considered enough for them to be arrested or get a criminal record."
He called for politeness and respect, especially towards more vulnerable people, such as the elderly.
Insp Wilks, based at Marlow Police Station, said: "They can be genuinely frightened and we want to allay those fears. We focus on those areas to make sure they are safe."
Posters are available to download from the police website for anyone who wishes to warn away trick or treaters and make it clear they will not answer the door on Halloween.
Police officers have been going into schools to talk with children about appropriate behaviour for the occasion.
In general, Insp. Wilks said, crime over Halloween has not been a major problem in recent years and it was usually "stupid things like egg throwing" that were reported.
He added: "I always hope that people will enjoy themselves but behave properly and so nobody feels they end to call the police."

I don't necessary agree with bad behavior but we have had a long history in this country of 'All Fools Night' where pranks are made so unless we are going down the road of thought policing and behavior correction a bit of fun may be an annoyance but does help us to know who the real idiots are.

You have missed the point that TVP have made.
They divide children's Halloween revelry into two parts: attended by parents and unattended. The former is acceptable, the latter not.
If there are "kids of infant school age" out unattended this evening, then let's hope that TVP brink it to the attention of social services.

CATEGORIES Comedy, CinematicalMy pals and I were working hard at SXSW 2004 when we caught wind of a recently-added "on the down low" movie screening that sounded pretty cool. It was a comedy called Surviving Eden, and it was directed by Greg Pritikin, whom we already knew from his sadly underrated ventriliquism comedy Dummy. Prior to the screening, Greg asked that we not review the movie, positively or negatively, because it was still very much a work in progress.
Me and my two cohorts laughed a whole lot at Surviving Eden, and we left the theater a little bummed that we'd been asked not to review it. But we didn't.
Flash forward 2.5 years later, and here comes the flick's theatrical premiere! Cineville will be releasing Surviving Eden in NYC on August 25th, in Chicago on 9/1 and in Austin on 9/8. Most of us won't be able to check the movie out until it hits DVD, but it's basically a very amusing spoof on reality TV, and (more specifically) the "fake-celebrity" status that comes as part of the package. The colorful cast listing includes Michael Panes, Peter Dinklage, Cheri Oteri, Jane Lynch, Sam Robards, Illeana Douglas, Deep Roy and John Landis. Keep an eye out for it.

GREENWOOD, WI (WSAU) - A drunk driver ran a stop sign, and struck the Greenwood Ambulance early Saturday morning.
Clark County Sheriff's Department's Chief Deputy James Backus says the ambulance crew radioed them at 3:54 a.m. to report the crash at Highway H and Highway 73 south of Greenwood.
Backus says a westbound car on CTH H operated by 35-year-old Kevin M. Colby and his 35-year-old passenger Angela M. Colby, both from Loyal, went through the stop sign at STH 73. Investigators say the car then struck the right rear corner of the Greenwood Ambulance. This caused the ambulance to spin to the right and overturn onto the driver side and slide down the road.
Both Colby's and two emergency medical technicians, 50-year-old Roberta Hansen and 48-year-old Denet Oldham, were transported to Ministry St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield. 46-year-old ambulance driver Delmond R. Horn was not injured.
The ambulance was returning from a call so no patient was in the ambulance at the time of crash. All injuries are believed to be non life-threatening.
Kevin Colby was arrested on suspicion of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated.
The Neillsville Fire Department, Neillsville Ambulance Service and Wisconsin State Patrol all assisted at the scene. Investigation is continuing by the Sheriff's Department and State Patrol.

Moultrie- Several Girl Scout troops met in Moultrie Saturday afternoon to make 29 care packages to send to soldiers and Marines from Colquitt County.
The girls collected donations from the community. The idea stemmed from one troop leader whose brother is stationed in Kuwait.
"These girls really know nothing about what's going on, and so I wanted them to put their hands on this stuff and actually know that they are sending something to a Marine or someone in the Army to know that there's stuff they're doing without to protect us," says Stacy Cook, leader for Troop 440.
Cook says even though the girls are only sending 29 care packages today, as long as the donations come in they will continue to ship the boxes. Of course, each care package contains at least one box of Girl Scout cookies.

Rashad Evans gives Antonio Rogerio Nogueira respect, but sees their bout at UFC 156 as little more than a stepping stone toward his ultimate goal: getting another crack at the light heavyweight title.
Does Rashad have another title run in him? He's gotta be at least two good fights away I would think.
I think Rashad won't do any better against Jones the 2nd time around..i think a drop to 185 against Anderson or perhaps at 205 would be very interesting…I think Rashad would ultimately end up curled up in a ball-like fetal position when Anderson goes matrix on him….right now i say no one can take Jones…as for Nogueria, he's essentially irrelevant at 205lb at the moment.. a win over him does nothing for you, not even a toy in your happy meal
Fast Rashad against slow Nogueira, who will win?
I think the rematch if it happens will be fun to watch like the first, but it may be too late for Evans to get a rematch if Jones moves to heavyweight. i still think Jones needs to face Texiera barring a loss and the swede Gustaffson before he cleans the division and its not quite clear whether an Evans wins gets him a title shot.
pick and choose your fights rashad you p**** this fight wont do nothing was scarred of jones didnt go for any take-down that was his only chance rematch will never happen he wouldnt want it.. middleweight is the future for evans

Classical Music History
Medieval/Middle Ages
Music during the Middle Ages is characterized by the beginning of musical notation as well as polyphony. During this time, there were two general types of music styles: the monophonic and the polyphonic.
The Renaissance
Renaissance means "rebirth" and in music this period brought about many changes in the way music was created and perceived.
- Renaissance Music Timeline
- Music Forms/Styles of the Renaissance
- The Shawm
- The Dulcian
- Renaissance Music Composers
Baroque Period
The word "baroque" comes from the Italian word "barocco" which means bizarre. The Baroque period was a time when composers experimented with form, styles and instruments. This period saw the development of opera and instrumental music.
Classical Period
The music of the Classical period, which spans from 1750 to 1820, is characterized by simpler melodies and forms such as the sonatas. The piano was undoubtedly the primary instrument used by composers during the Classical period.
- Music Events During the Classical Period
- Classical Music Forms/Styles
- The Piano
- Classical Music Composers
Romantic Period
Historiographers define the Romantic Music period to be between 1800 to 1900. It is characterized by using music to tell a story or express an idea and the use of various instruments, including wind instruments. Melodies are fuller and more dramatic.
20th Century
Music during the 20th century brought about many innovations on how music was performed and appreciated. Artists were more willing to experiment on new music forms and used technology to enhance their compositions.
- Music of the 20th Century - 1900 - 1960
- Music of the 20th Century - 1961 to 1999
- 20th Century Music Forms/Styles
- The Dynamophone

4.35/5 rDev -0.9%
20oz pint at brewpub in Berkeley. Love this place and even happier this new IPA is one the menu - probably a result of the ownership recently purchasing Drakes..
Light amber color with minimal lacing.. Citrus aroma - definitley pick up some Cascade hops aroma..
Nice malty front followed by the wonderful hop hit which does make itself known well after the fact. Good mouthfeel - quite oily, not too thin..
Very drinkable!

4.43/5 rDev +0.9%
20 ounce glass at the brewery for five dollars and some change, originally sampled this side by side with their normal IPA and their Quasar DIPA and this was superior, actually one of the better beers I had on my recent Northern California trip, consumed and 1/21/09 and reviewed from notes, color is a ruby reddish brown, 1 1/2 inch creamy off white head, some retention, light lacing,aroma has lots of pine and grapefruit hops up front, also a nice caramel malt backbone, mixed berries, and citrus, flavor is dry at the beginning, mild chewiness in the middle, hoppy finish leaving a sticky aftertaste, fruit comes to the surface as it warms, dry and balanced mouthfeel, medium bodied, tasty bitterness lingers, could have drank much more of this, light on the stomach, bartender thought is was around seven percent, not too dry and just right, best beer I had from this brewpub, would love to drink again, recommended

ESPN and Yahoo Sports are reporting that Zach Randolph is going to be out for 1-2 weeks with that knee injury he suffered after being pushed by Jake Voskuhl, though as CS pointed out, none of the journalists seemed to have noticed that part. Anyways, here's the link to Yahoo's article:
Well, what's new in Clipper land. Just as the team looks alright taking four of five games, they go ahead and remind us all that they are still the Clippers with three consecutive losses by at least twenty points. I would indulge you with the stats, except I haven't bothered to look them up (I really don't want to feel any worse than I have after watching these three games).
So with Zach out, I guess the question becomes when do the Clippers get to 10 wins. Judging from their play against a Dallas team sans Dirk Nowitzki, I would be leaning towards the never side. Oh, Zack, please come back soon.
