2014 Events
Ian Cox is a decorative arts historian with special interests in historic interiors, furniture and ceramics. For many years he taught in the History of Art Department at Glasgow University and was Director of the Christie's Master's Programme in the History of the Decorative Arts. For the last 15 years he has worked at the Christie's London School of Education, first as Director of Studies and more recently as Director of Short Course Programmes and The London Art Course. He is currently Director of the Victorian Society in America's London Summer School, which this year is enjoying its 40th Anniversary. He will be presenting a series of enlightening lectures in Philadelphia and New York in November. The following lectures are sponsored by The Royal Oak Foundation to take place in Philadelphia and New York.
Royal Retreats: The Holiday Homes of Queen Victoria & The Prince
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert held court at their official residences, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. However, during the early years of their marriage they yearned for private retreats where they could enjoy family life. The royal couple would go on to acquire estates at Osborne, East Cowes on the Isle of Wight and at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Prince Albert would take a hand in developing suitable houses for the time they would spend in each of these special places—Osborne built between 1845-1851 and designed in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo, and Balmoral completed in 1856 in the Scots Baronial style. Both properties became central to their lives and much loved holiday homes, each providing, in different ways, much needed relief from the intense pressures of court life in and near the capital. Osborne became a monument to their marriage and Balmoral a remote and very Scottish seasonal home. The latter is still much enjoyed by the royal family today. Ian Cox's lecture will explore the history, development and significance of both of these fascinating royal residences.

This rug is plush, the red us beautiful and it is really soft. Plus the price was good.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is a great rug. The look and feel of it is better than expected. it has great density and a soft feel. The only thing that was a surprise (and it was a big one) was that the rug is actually 2 tone. It looks like a solid color rug on the site even in the enlarged view but it is a 50/50 mix of green and light beige yarns. I actually wanted it to be solid.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is a fabulous rug! I ordered the chocolate 9'10 x 12'7 size. A great value for a quality product. It's a beautiful dark brown color that is so rich.

I would definitely recommend this rug!!!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The light colored fibers are pretty light, and the darks are dark so it provides a good mottled look. The fiber length is a little longer than I prefer, close to 'shag', but I can live with that. Nice rug with solid construction.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Great rug. Beautiful colors, just wish my dogs didn't like it so much!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Love the rug, love the site. Why schorl to a store with 10 rugs when the world of rugs is at your fingertips!!RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Nice and soft. Gamble since the picture didn't portray how nice the feel would be. Color was right on.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

LA Film Festival: Anne Thompson Recommends
Anne Thompson, now at Variety, picks the must-see films at the LA Film Festival.
(The website uses annoying pop-up screens, so links can't go directly to the film, so sorry.)
Well, obviously I want to see the opening night film from Kasi Lemmons, Talk to Me, which already has a studio subsid distributor, Focus Features.
Joshua was a Sundance hit that I want to catch up with.
And anything by Danny Boyle is a must-see, so Sunshine is also on my list.

Thanks for your rational input once more MarkG.
It's funny that the people getting VERY defensive are accusing me of not being rational or listening. I'm just making some points as a consumer... and you're having a big teary defending your beloved LBS.
Fact is... most of the time... their prices are awful. I think that's sad. It's really that simple.

Edward Abbey was born in the town of Indiana, Pennsylvania and grew up in nearby Home, Pennsylvania. In the summer of 1944 he headed west, and fell in love with the desert country of the Four Corners region. He wrote, "For the first time, I felt I was getting close to the West of my deepest imaginings, the place where the tangible and the mythical became the same." He received a Master's Degree in philosophy from the University of New Mexico and also studied at the University of Edinburgh. In the late 1950s Abbey worked as a seasonal ranger for the United States Park Service at Arches National Monument (now a national park), near the town of Moab, Utah, which was not then known for extreme sports but for its desolation and uranium mines. It was there that he penned the journals that would become one of his most famous works, 1968's Desert Solitaire, which Abbey described "...not [as] a travel guide, but a eulogy."
Desert Solitaire is regarded by many as one of the finest nature narratives in American literature. In it, Abbey vividly describes the physical landscapes of Southern Utah and delights in his isolation as a backcountry park ranger, recounting adventures in the nearby canyon country and mountains. He also attacks what he terms the "industrial tourism" and resulting development in the national parks ("national parking lots"), rails against the Glen Canyon Dam, and comments on various other subjects.
Abbey died in 1989 at the age of 62 at his home near Oracle, Arizona.

Schlessman Hall
Musicians Joseph Lukas and Eyal Revlon explore the Yiddish folk music that became an important form of expression for Jewish immigrants coming to the United States from 1880 through the 1920s. The sound of Klezmer music is meant to mimic human vocalizations from talking and laughing to mournful crying. It's evocative of Old World celebrations and a treat to hear.

The Good Life? It's Close to Home
Page 2
It took three weeks to visit all the men on the block. When they were done, they were amazed at what they had found: men who knew juggling, barbecuing, bookkeeping, hunting, haircutting, bowling, investigating crimes, writing poems, fixing cars, weightlifting, choral singing, teaching dogs tricks, mathematics, praying, and how to play trumpet, drums, and sax. They found enough talent for all the kids in the neighborhood to tap into. Three of the men they met—Charles Wilt, Mark Sutter, and Sonny Reed—joined Naomi, Jackie, and Mr. Thompson in finding out what the kids on the block were interested in learning.
5 Questions to Awaken Your Functional Family
The path to restoring function to the family in a citizen society, not a consumer society, is quite simple.
When they got together after interviewing the kids, Mark talked about a boy he met who knew about computers. Why not ask all the kids what they knew about? Then they could match adults to the kids, just as they planned to match up the kids with the grown-ups. When they were done, they found they had 22 things the young people knew that might interest some adults on the block.
The six neighbors named themselves the Matchmakers and, as they got more experience, they began to connect neighbors who shared the same interests. The gardeners' team shared growing tips and showed four families how to create gardens—even on a flat rooftop! Several people who were worried about the bad economy created a website where neighbors who knew about available work could post job openings. To give it some flair, they found people in the neighborhood to take photos for the site and gradually opened it up for all sorts of neighborhood uses.
Jolene Cass, for instance, posted one of her poems on the website and asked if there were other poets on the block. It turned out there were three. They began to have coffee, share their writing, and post their poems online.
Eleven adults and kids formed the Block Band, and neighborhood singers formed a choir led by Sarah Ensley, an 80-year-old woman who'd been singing all her life.
Charles Dawes, a police officer, formed a team of adults and young people to make the block a safe haven for everyone.
Libby Green had lived on the block for 74 years. The Matchmakers got two neighborhood teenagers, Lenore Manse and Jim Caldwell, to write down her stories about the neighborhood and post them on the website.
Then Lenore decided to write family histories for everyone on the block, and persuaded Jim and her best friend, Lannie Eaton, to help her record the histories and round up photos to go along with them.
Charles Wilt suggested a way for the Matchmakers to welcome newcomers to the neighborhood and begin to connect them with their neighbors: give them a copy of the block history and get information about the new family's history, skills, and interests.
Three years later, at the annual block party, Jackie Barton summed up what the neighborhood had accomplished:
"What we have done is broken all the lines. We broke the lines between the men. We broke the lines between the women. Then the lines were broken between the men and the women. And best of all, the lines were broken between the adults and the children and between all of us and our seniors. All the lines are broken; we're all connected. We're a real community now."
Seeing the Abundance in the Neighborhood
The story has the elements of what we can call a competent neighborhood. Creating competence starts with making visible the gifts of everyone in the neighborhood—the families, the young people, the old people, the vulnerable people, the troublesome people. Everyone. We do this not out of altruism, but to create the elements of a satisfying life.
All in the Ohana:
How Hawaiians embrace the land,
its abundance, and their responsibility to each other.
This thickens the social fabric. It makes the community's gifts more widely available in support of the family. If we do it, even in small way, we find that much of what we once purchased is at hand: carpentry, Internet knowledge, listening, driving a truck, math, auto repair, organizing ability, gardening, haircutting, wallpapering, making videos, babysitting, house painting, accounting, soccer coaching, artistic abilities, cooking, fitness knowledge, sitting with the old or the ill, health remedies, sewing. And some of those things will come from the elderly, the young, the isolated, and the unemployed.
With the consciousness of our gifts and the ability to connect them and make them practical and usable, we experience the abundance of a community.
These local connections can give the modern family what the extended family once provided: A place with a strong culture of kin, friends, and neighbors. Together we raise our children, manage health, support local enterprise, and care for those on the margin.
When we become competent again and have families reclaim their functions, we see emerging from our community culture those essential qualities of a satisfying life: kindness, generosity, cooperation, forgiveness, and the ability to live with our common fallibilities. These will all be given a home and nurtured by families who have reclaimed their function.

A union representative stated on Dec. 3 that the engineer who was involved in Sunday's New York train derailment apparently "was nodding off and caught himself too late" before the accident that killed four people and injured 67 others.
Learn more about this deadly train derailment.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority identified those killed as Donna L. Smith, 54, of Newburgh, New York; James G. Lovell, 58, of Cold Spring, New York; James M. Ferrari, 59, of Montrose, New York; and Ahn Kisook, 35, of Queens, New York.
Firefighters and emergency rescuers swarmed the scene near Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx, where seven of the eight train cars had derailed.
One car was just feet away from the Harlem River.
Three of the dead were thrown "as the train came off the track and was twisting and turning," New York Fire Department Chief Edward Kilduff told reporters.
Police divers were in the water hours after the crash searching for survivors, and cadaver dogs combed the wreckage.
Authorities believed all the passengers have been accounted for a few hours after the crash, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters.
The train was traveling 82 mph as it entered the 30 mph curve where it derailed, the National Transportation Safety Board announced Monday afternoon.
About 150 people were on the train when it crashed.
At least 67 people were injured, New York Police Chief Ray Kelly told reporters. Cuomo said 11 people were critically injured.
Injured victims were taken to several hospitals in New York. At St. Barnabas Hospital, doctors treated 12 patients, at least two of whom were in critical condition. One of the victims suffered a spinal cord injury that could leave him paralyzed from the neck down, said Dr. David Listman, director of the hospital's emergency department.
The train had been traveling from the Hudson Valley town of Poughkeepsie, 100 miles north of New York, to New York's Grand Central Station.
It came off the tracks just as it was coming around a sharp curve shortly after 7 a.m., fire officials told CNN affiliate WCBS.
Early Monday morning, workers began uprighting the cars to the extent that safety officials would allow, a spokesman for Metro North Railroad said.
A cause was not immediately known. Federal investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were headed to the scene, Cuomo said.
The train operator -- who is among the injured -- told investigators he applied brakes to the train, but it didn't slow down, a law enforcement official at the scene and familiar with the investigation said.
Passenger Frank Tatulli told WABC he thought the train was traveling "a lot faster" than usual.
Tatulli said he escaped a derailed car on his own and suffered head and neck injuries. Other passengers were still on the train, he told WABC.
"The windows broke out. ... The gravel came flying up in our faces," said passenger Amanda Swanson, who put her bag in front of her face to block the rubble. "I really didn't know if I would survive," she said. "The train felt like it was on its side and dragging for a long time. ... The whole thing felt like slow motion."
It's not the first time a train jumped the tracks on that turn. A freight train derailed in the same curve in July, damaging about 1,500 feet of track, the Metropolitan Transit Authority reported at the time.
Federal authorities are still investigating a collision that occurred on the same line in May, when two passenger trains crashed during rush hour in Connecticut.
Service was suspended Sunday on part of the Hudson Line, Metro-North said on Twitter.
Amtrak said it was suspending service between New York and Albany indefinitely after the derailment.
It's unclear how long the investigation will take, said Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for Metro-North Rail. "Once the NTSB gives us the all-clear, then we can begin to repair and clean up the tracks," he said.
Officials hope to get train service on the line up and running again by the end of the week, Cuomo said.
Hank Goldman, who lives near the tracks, described hearing the crash. "I heard this horrible, whooshing sound. ... It was very disturbing, very loud," said Goldman. "I jumped out of bed and looked out the window and I saw a light-colored object lying down. I thought it was the roadway to the train. Then I got my binoculars, and I couldn't believe my eyes, that the train had jumped the tracks right here."
New York Fire Department Chief Edward Kilduff said rescuers used air bags to rescue some victims injured in Sunday's train derailment and had to cut others out of the wrecked train.
U.S. President Barack Obama was briefed on the derailment. "His thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families who lost a loved one and everyone affected by this incident," the White House said.

Eerie Fog
Image courtesy NASA and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI)
Like an ominous fog swirling around a street lamp, a nebula 1,499 light-years away in the constellation Orion burns dimly, illuminated by hot, massive stars embedded inside the gas cloud.
The Hubble Space Telescope snapped this image of NGC 1999, also known as the Keyhole nebula, back in 1999.
The creepy dark shape at the center of the image is actually a dim cloud of gas and dust that astronomers believe is a nursery for newborn stars.

Dark shadows (at left) appear have flailing arms as they flee some unknown menace in this image of an isolated dark nebula some 1,200 light-years from Earth in the northern constellation Cepheus—the King.
Known as Sharpless 2-136, this galactic ghost formation is the site of intense star and planet formation and stretches about two light-years across.

Franken Nebula

What looks like the legendary Frankenstein's monster, glaring with wild, piercing eyes, is actually a colorful cloud of gas and dust surrounding clusters of young stars.
Located some 20,000 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation Puppis, hundreds of hot, massive stars sit huddled together and belch out strong radiation into space. The outbursts ionize the molecules in the surrounding gas clouds and light them up in ghoulish colors.

Black Widow Nebula

Lying in wait in the constellation Circinus, a cloud of molecular gas takes the form of a deadly spider in an infrared picture from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
Nicknamed the Black Widow Nebula, the cloud is teeming with clusters of massive young stars, seen as yellow specks in the center of this frame. Radiation from the stars is blowing the surrounding gas into two opposing bubbles, forming the bulbous body and spindly legs of the cosmic crawler.
The Black Widow is just one of the ghastly bodies littering the heavens that's included in our Halloween round-up of the top ten spooky space objects, as chosen by National Geographic editors.

Eye of Sauron

In 2008 astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that they had gazed into the Lidless Eye of the Dark Lord Sauron—and found a new planet.
Despite its eerie resemblance to the Lord of the Rings icon, the frame above actually shows a Hubble picture of Fomalhaut, a bright southern star about 25 light-years from Earth. The fiery "iris" is a ring of planet-forming material that surrounds the star, and a small bright speck embedded in the ring is the Jupiter-like planet Fomalhaut b.
The image was the first visible-light snapshot of a planet orbiting another star.

Planet Hell

Hot rocks rain from the sky, and oceans of lava ooze across one side while sunlight never shines on the other. Welcome to Hell, aka, the alien planet CoRoT-7b. Initially described in 2009, the weird world was the first rocky planet found outside our solar system.
But unlike Earth, CoRoT-7b orbits just 1.5 million miles (2.5 million kilometers) away from its star—about 23 times closer than Mercury is to our sun. The planet is also tidally locked, so that one side always faces the star while the other side lies in constant darkness.
Astronomers calculate that the surface of the star-facing side is a broiling 4,220 degrees Fahrenheit (2,327 degrees Celsius).

A Blood Moon hangs over an autumn landscape in Sweden on October 11.
Also known as the Hunter's Moon, the Blood Moon is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon, which usually appears around the fall equinox. Around this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, the moon rises a bit earlier than usual. It's thought the monikers arose because the fall full moons provided plentiful light for hunters tracking prey after sunset.

Zombie Star

When a sunlike star dies, it swells up and eventually sheds its outer layers of gas, leaving behind a corpse known as a white dwarf. But sometimes the stellar dead come back to life by feeding from nearby companions.
Such "zombie" stars are known to astronomers as Type Ia supernovae, violent explosions that happen when white dwarfs consume so much material from neighbors that they reach a defined mass limit and explode.
The brilliant burst above, dubbed Tycho's supernova remnant, is perhaps one of the most famous examples of a Type Ia supernova. (Also see "'Supernova in a Jar' Offers Peek Inside Star Death.")

Orion's Bat

Last March astronomers with the European Southern Observatory peered into a dark corner of the constellation Orion and snapped a new picture of a cosmic bat, the nebula NGC 1788.
Unlike nebulae that shine due to their own heated gases, this cloud gets its ghostly glow because its cold gas and dust are reflecting and scattering light from the young stars hidden inside.
This image, taken from ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile, combines three wavelengths of visible light to reveal the bat's bright face flanked by faint spreading wings.

Black Hole Cannibal

Deep in the dark heart of the galaxy NGC 3393, two monsters are eating each other in an epic clash of the titans.
In August scientists with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory released this composite image of the spiral galaxy that shows not one but two supermassive black holes in its middle, separated by just 490 light-years.
Astronomers think NGC 3393 must have consumed a less massive galaxy that had a black hole of its own, and the two supermassive beasts are now battling it out until just one central black hole remains. (Also see "Black Hole Caught Eating a Star, Gamma-Ray Flash Hints.")

Little Ghost Nebula

Backyard astronomers often make friends with the Little Ghost Nebula, officially known as NGC 6369. The object can be seen from Earth as a faint cloud surrounding the corpse of a dead star in the constellation Ophiuchus.
In this 2004 Hubble Space Telescope picture, the nebula can be seen in greater detail, revealing the evolution of gas being ejected from the dying star.
As ultraviolet radiation pours from the star, it strips electrons from atoms in the gas, ionizing—electrically charging—the closest regions and creating the bright, blue-green ring. Redder areas on the outer edges of the nebula are places where ionization is less advanced.

The Death Star

Despite this small moon's ominous appearance, the Millennium Falcon would have nothing to fear from Mimas, a member of Saturn's family of natural satellites.
The huge crater that led to Mimas's Star Wars nickname is called Herschel. At about 80 miles (130 kilometers) across, the crater covers roughly a third of the moon's diameter.
In fact, astronomers think the impact that formed the basin must have come close to shattering the 250-mile-wide (400-kilometer-wide) moon.

Vampire Stars

Twilight fans take note: Scattered across our Milky Way galaxy are vampires that truly sparkle—so-called blue straggler stars that maintain the appearance of youth by sucking the life from other stars.
Blue stragglers are often found in dense star clusters. These tight bundles are thought to contain stars that all formed around the same time, and the majority of the stars in such clusters are among the oldest in the galaxy.
But the stragglers have a blue tinge to their light that suggests youth among stellar populations. Scientists think the vampires are stealing gases from their neighbors, allowing the small, aging stars to swell in mass and extend their lives by hundreds of millions of years.

Wow, I am in awe!
Incredible Pictures, Very Exciting, Thank you for sharing.
Great Filtering = Awesome Eye Candy!
These are INCREDIBLE!!! Who the universe celebrated Halloween? XD But seriously, these are beautiful. Thank you to the people at NatGeo and NASA for bringing these images to the public eye. :)
These are a feast for the eyes. Thank you.
Thank you for these beautiful pictures. They bring to us the beauty of the universe that we all are apart of. I find it very empowering. Thank You again..
Fortunately, we can count on super telescopes to have an idea of what there is out of the Earth. And we can see a wonderful and magic world. Great pics. Thanks.
it must be very hot, heell itself
Eerie Fog really makes me feel that someone is watching over us in a good way. I too loved these pics...so amazing to see how beautifully diversified and expansive our Universe is. Vampire Stars there...energy zappers here. Different levels of creation in different forms of the same philsophy. Very interesting with ah ha moment. Thank you. Namaste,
Great photos! The Universe at first was the size of a baseball...then the big bang. Then it expanded to what we have today. It will die in billions of years as galaxy after galaxy is sucked into black holes, and black holes are sucked into each other until there is only one left. From that black hole a new universe will explode outwards again about the size of a baseball. In short the universe is eternal expanding and shrinking foever. What is contained in that baseball sized universe is what some people would call "God".
If we ever reached "Planet Hell", it would be interesting to find out how far into the outward facing side we'd have to go to find earth like temperatures transmitted from the star-facing side of the planet... That is assuming the outward facing side isn't hot already. The image description says nothing about the temperature of the outward facing side, but since it always lies in darkness, it is obviously much cooler than CoRoT-7b's other side.
Eye of Sauron.....who draws like that? Amazingly beautiful
Black widow nebula or maybe Lucifer what with the two horns, empty eye sockets and yowling mouth
Una maravilla .....pero no es nada para lo que llegaremos a descubrir , si segimos existiendo.
definitely, The Universe is awesome! :) I love these pictures :D

Chicago's winter filled with some pretty cool footwork
BY HEDY WEISS Dance email@example.com January 9, 2013 5:50PM
The Dance COLEctive's winter concert series is titled "Free/Bound."
Article Extras
Updated: January 10, 2013 7:56PM
For many years that incomparable cartoonist, Jules Feiffer, drew barefoot modern dancers heralding the arrival of spring, even if they often seemed plagued by all the seasonal affective disorders of winter. As snowstorms blow our way in the next few months, and the sight of a jogger in shorts feels like a distant dream, Chicago dance lovers can look forward to a packed calendar of concerts by companies of every description. Here is a closer look at the lineup at four major venues, and there is plenty more on a slew of smaller stages, too.
AT THE AUDITORIUM THEATRE, 50 E. Congress:
The Joffrey Ballet (Feb. 13-24): Under the umbrella title "American Legends," the company will perform Jerome Robbins' exuberantly youthful romp "Interplay," set to music by Morton Gould; Twyla Tharp's homage to Old Blue Eyes, "Nine Sinatra Songs"; "Sea Shadow," Gerald Arpino's exquisite duet to music by Ravel; and a demanding world premiere, "Son of Chamber Symphony," choreographed by Houston Ballet artistic director Stanton Welch.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (March 8-17): Under its new artistic director, Robert Battle, the company's mixed repertory programs are full of surprises, but continue to include Ailey's signature piece, "Revelations."
River North Dance Chicago (April 13): In collaboration with Orbert Davis' Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, the company will perform the world premiere of "Havana Blue," with artistic director/choreographer Frank Chaves teaming with Davis on a piece that explores the men's shared Cuban/Afro-Caribbean roots in a contemporary way.
Eisenhower Dance Ensemble (April 14): This Detroit-based ensemble will perform "Motown in Motion," set to recordings by many of the Motor City's most fabled artists (The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, The Supremes and Stevie Wonder), as well as additional works from its rep.
The Joffrey Ballet (April 24-May 5): The company will reprise Lar Lubovitch's fascinating full-length work based on Shakespeare's "Othello." Set to music by Oscar-winning composer Elliot B. Goldenthal, the ballet was a huge hit when the Joffrey first danced it in 2009.
The Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, Russia (May 17-19): This unique company, propelled by the ultra-modern ballet ethos and psychological drama of choreographer Boris Eifman, will dance his full-length work "Rodin." Set to music by Saint-Saens, Massenet and Ravel, the work looks at the French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), and his stormy relationship with his mistress-muse, Camille Claudel.
For schedules and tickets for all performances, call (800) 982-2787 or visit www.ticketmaster.com/auditorium.
AT THE HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE, 205 E. Randolph:
Mummenschanz (Jan. 18-19): This beloved Switzerland-based physical theater company, on a 40th anniversary tour, is renowned for the way its performers transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Using common materials and everyday objects such as wires, tubes, boxes and fabric, they create fantastical characters and reveal timeless truths about human relationships.
Hamburg Ballet: (Feb. 1-2): Led by former American ballet dancer John Neumeier, this internationally admired German company will perform "Nijinsky," his spellbinding ballet inspired by the early 20th century dancer, choreographer and superstar, Vaslav Nijinsky. A memory piece, it begins as Nijinsky is about to give his last performance as a dancer, and flashes back to events in his life, while also recalling his most important roles as a dancer. The score includes music by Chopin, as well as Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade."
Thodos Dance Chicago (March 2-3): Choreographers Melissa Thodos and Ann Reinking continue their award-winning collaboration ("The White City") with the premiere of "A Light in the Dark," a one act story ballet (to an original score by Bruce Wolosoff) about Helen Keller, the legendary deaf-mute, writer and activist, and her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Also on the bill will be a new work from renowned California choreographer KT Nelson.
Luna Negra Dance Theater (March 9): As part of a program titled "Made in Spain," the company will perform a world premiere by Spanish choreographer Fernando Hernando Magadan, created in collaboration with, and performed live by the Turtle Island Quartet. The program also will include a new work by Monica Cervantes, the Spanish-bred ensemble dancer and choreographer, plus a reprise of Magadan's wildly ingenious "Naked Ape," which looks at the impact of technology on human behavior.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (March 14-17): This engagement will mark the Chicago premiere of a multi-year collaboration with choreographer Alonzo King's LINES Ballet of San Francisco. These two high profile dance companies join forces on one stage to create a "supergroup" of contemporary and neoclassical dancers, juxtaposing Hubbard Street's "earthy athleticism" with LINES Ballet's "ethereal architecture of torsions." Also on the program will be repertory works by both companies.
Giordano Dance Chicago (March 21-23): The program will include a new full company work by Cuban-American choreographer Liz Imperio, who has worked with such celebs as Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan and Madonna, along with many selections from the rep.
For schedules and tickets for all performances, call (312) 334-7777 or visit www.harristheaterchicago.
AT THE DANCE CENTER OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE, 1306 S. Michigan:
Double Edge Theatre (Jan. 18-19): In "The Grand Parade (of the Twentieth Century)," conceived and directed by Stacy Klein, and set to Russian composer Alexander Bakshi's original score, this Massachusetts-based physical theater company will incorporate choreography, aerial flight, puppetry and circus arts to conjure the life and times and paintings of visionary artist Marc Chagall.
Zoe/Juniper (Feb. 14-16): In "A Crack in Everything," choreographer Zoe Scofield and her husband, sculptor/photographer/media artist Juniper Shuey, have drawn on "The Oresteia," the Greek tragedy, to explore the tension between our quest for justice and our hunger for the blood lust of revenge.
Stephen Petronio Company (March 7-9): This dynamic New York-based troupe will present Petronio's "Underland," an erotic, enigmatic, evening-length work inspired by the bittersweet songs of Australia's Nick Cave.
The Chicago Moving Company (March 21-23): The troupe will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a program of four major revivals and a new work by founder Nina Shineflug.
Delfos Danza Contemporanea (April 4-6): One of Mexico's leading contemporary dance companies, this Mazatlan-based troupe, celebrating its 20th anniversary, is widely admired for its "color-saturated works of magic realism." Its program will include "Resonancias," a suite of seven pieces, as well as the newer 2012 work, "Secretos (Secrets)."
For schedules and tickets to all performances, call (312) 369-8300 or visit www.colum.edu/dancecenter.
AT THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART THEATRE, 220 E. Chicago:
Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People (Jan. 31 and Feb. 2-3): In "And lose the name of action," six vivid performers explore the ghostlike traces that dance leaves on the mind and body.
Compagnie Marie Chouinard (March 21-23): To mark the 100th anniversary of "The Rite of Spring," the revolutionary ballet by composer Igor Stravinsky and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky, the troupe will performer Chouinard's acclaimed 1993 interpretation of the piece that taps into its deep, primitive spirit.

By BOB LEWIS and LARRY O'DELL
Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. - Gov. Bob McDonnell used his annual address to the state Wednesday to make one big, last push for an enduring legislative legacy, urging lawmakers to enact his education and transportation reforms.
But he also included a surprise: an appeal to the 2013 General Assembly to pass bills that allow for nonviolent felons' civil rights to be automatically restored.
McDonnell last month began sketching out education reforms for teachers in kindergarten through senior year that condition a 2 percent raise on the enactment of new laws making underperforming faculty easier to fire.
On Tuesday, he disclosed his plan to replace Virginia's 17 1/2-cents-per-gallon gasoline tax with a 0.8-cent increase in the state's 5 percent sales tax as a way to replenish dwindling highway maintenance funds.
Entering the final year of the non-renewable four-year term Virginia governors are uniquely allowed, McDonnell _ a year ago a Republican vice presidential prospect _ is still looking for a signature policy triumph for which he will be remembered.
In his 50-minute State of the Commonwealth speech, McDonnell targeted the perennial issues of schools and the outdated and perpetually gridlocked web of state highways, particularly in the sprawling and populous Washington, D.C., suburbs, months ago, and is still searching for legislative consensus, particularly in a state senate where Democrats and Republicans hold 20 seats apiece.
In his budget, McDonnell has set aside nearly $59 million to help localities provide a raise for public school teachers, principals, librarians and other instructional personnel. While Democrats and the 60,000-member Virginia Education Association like the raise _ the first for teachers in six years _ the trick will be passing legislation that prolongs the probationary period for new teachers from three to five years and affords local school districts greater authority to dismiss educators with poor performance reviews.
"Good teachers will flourish," he said. "Poor ones will not."
He also made another push to expedite the creation of charter schools, which receive public funding and must meet accountability benchmarks but can operate under certain less restrictive rules.Transportation
McDonnell's transportation funding plan would make Virginia the first state without a direct tax on gasoline paid at the pump. It's the first major overhaul of the state's primary stream of transportation revenue since the per-gallon tax was levied 27 years ago. McDonnell noted that because that tax is tied to gasoline volume and not price, declining usage, greater automotive fuel efficiency and looming competition from emerging alternate fuel sources has eaten into its ability to sustain needed maintenance work, much less underwrite badly needed new projects.
"Please do not send me a budget that does not include new transportation funding," he implored legislators. "We are all out of excuses. We must act now."
While McDonnell's plan won praise from leaders of the Republican-ruled House, anti-tax activist Grover Norquist condemned the plan as a tax increase, an action that conservatives within the GOP caucus can't ignore with all 100 House seats up for election this fall.
His plan is also lacking support from Democrat leaders, including Sen. Dick Saslaw, of Alexandria.
"This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of. I mean, I have seen some screwed up bills in my life. This takes the cake," Saslaw said.
And despite the need for more transportation funding in Northern Virginia, local lawmakers aren't totally convinced that McDonnell's proposal is the best option.
"It'll sell better in the low-income areas than it will in higher-income areas like Northern Virginia," said Sen. Dick Black, R-Loudoun, of the governor's plan.
Civil Rights Restoration
Elaborating on his surprise measure for 2013, McDonnell urged lawmakers to support two GOP-sponsored bills to amend the Virginia Constitution to allow automatic restoration of nonviolent felons' voting rights.
"As a nation that believes in redemption and second chances, we must provide a clear path for willing individuals to be productive members of society once they've served their sentences and paid their fines and restitution," McDonnell said. "It's time for Virginia to join most of the other states and make the restoration of civil rights an automatic process for nonviolent offenders."
That drew more applause from Democrats than Republicans with Del. Charnielle Herring of Alexandria _ the state Democratic Party chairman _ standing to cheer the proposal. Del. Rob Bell, chairman of the state commission that vets legislation about crimes and punishment and a Republican candidate for attorney general, said he opposes automatic rights restoration.
The governor alone has authority in Virginia now to restore the rights of the convicted _ a time-consuming and cumbersome process. Since taking office in 2010, McDonnell charged his administration with accelerating the process by vetting applicants through the secretary of the commonwealth and his legal counsel, then providing applicants a response within 60 days.

Two-door Chevrolet Tahoes
like they built for many years. I don't need a four-door of the Tahoe of Suburban. The smaller size is better for four wheeling and is definately better for traffic and parking. The prices the 1999 and older used ones indicates some desire out there for a large two-door SUV. I would buy a Bronco but I guess Ford is too interested in GT models to produce something a person could use. How about it GM and Ford?
damien2 Posts: 1I have a 97' Tahoe which has developed a problem with first gear, ( i dont have one!)
My Mechanic has checked the solenoids and all seems well. There doesnt seem to be any slipping, just a lack of power on pull off, Can anyone explain to me what may be the problem and what the solution could be. Is it Mechanical or Electronic?
Hi damien2,
Unfortunately you've landed in the wrong discussion - this one is about a future Tahoe. You should visit our Transmission Traumas? discussion to get help with your transmission issue.

I've fell in love and there is just about nothing anybody can say that will make me break my infatuation with the Chevy Two Door Tahoe. I love the way it looks, as a mean yet not to big but not to small truck. I like the SUV body style because I'll be able to use it more because I don't need a truck bed everyday. Well there's the story now here is my dilemma.
I'm looking for either a 1999, 1998, or 1997 Chevy Two Door Tahoe, with a 6.5L Turbo Diesel engine, that is in good condition, and with less than 100,000 miles and at the very very most 120,000 miles... Are my standards to high? Second how does the Diesel engine compare with the 5.7L Gasoline engine? Which one will last longer? Which one performs better?
Lastly Does anyone have one that they want to sell?
Please Help Me,
You might have better luck in our Real-World Trade-In Values discussion, or our regular Chevy Tahoe discussion. The discussion you posted in "lives" on the Future Vehicles board, so people in here are more interested in talking about an upcoming Tahoe than existing models.

graeagle Posts: 1My daughter has a 2 door 1998 Tahoe and the passanger seat in the front is very hard to move up to gain entry into the back seat. Can these seats be changed? She is going to have a baby in January. And instead of buying a 4-door, I thought maybe she could change the seat. Can anybody give me some informantion.
Happy Holidays
vdelgado28 Posts: 1Wait now I'm confused. The title of this forum is, "Two-Door Cheverlot Tahoes" but you(the HOST) are saying this discussion is about Future Vehicles. The 2 door Tahoes stopped in 99'. So am I to assume that Chevy is coming out with another two door version of their Tahoe??? :confuse:
Please clarify and point me to the true "Two-Door Cheverlot Tahoes" forum.
A member started this thread with the hope that there would be a new version of the 2-door Chevy Tahoe. Since we haven't gotten any real posts or info on a future 2-door Tahoe, I'm actually going to close this discussion.
We don't have a separate discussion for the existing 2-door version of the Tahoe, given that it's just a body style/trim level and not a totally different vehicle. You can find other Tahoe owners in our regular Chevy Tahoe discussion.

In 1859 Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, shook society to its core. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke. But he surely would have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later.
Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. Now the author of the iconic work The God Delusion takes them to task.
The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design", explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument". Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics. Combining these elements and many more, he makes the airtight case that "we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection."
The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is menacing as never before. In American schools, and in schools around the world, insidious attempts are made to undermine the status of science in the classroom. Dawkins wields a devastating argument against this ignorance, but his unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©2009 Richard Dawkins; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster
"If Charles Darwin walked into a 21st-century bookstore and wanted to know how his theory had fared, this is the book he should pick up. Dawkins remains a superb translator of complex scientific concepts....he has a way of making the drollest details feel like a revelation." (Publishers Weekly)
"Well read, well explained, scientific."
This book does three things. It does two brilliantly, and it does one a little less so.
First, the book lays out the scientific evidence for evolution, and it does so in a way that any curious-minded reader regardless of scientific background can follow. The details build point by point to demonstrate what scientists ask and how they find their answers. This is the strongest feature of the book--demonstrating the precise evidence and the predictive and provable conclusions of evolution theory. Dawkins never reaches for a grand explanation until he has shown the precise scientific evidence used to prove that explanation.
Second, Dawkins answers criticisms of evolution theory as he goes along, showing for instance that it can be proven and tested by predictable experiments, and that ideas like irreducible complexity are invalid.
Third, he holds a running argument with believers of religions, and at times is almost taunting. While I understand that he has been attacked by some believers often enough to be defensive, I think this makes an otherwise scientific text personal, and is likely to repel rather than convince doubters. He weakens his logic, for instance arguing points like "no creator would do X instead of Y, thus proving that creation is wrong." (not actual quote). Who could say what a creator would do? It's a minor objection, not enough to cost a star because the evidence as laid out stands firm despite this issue, but it weakens his presentation.
Over all, this is a beautiful, intriguing, and engaging scientific summary that demonstrates the complexity of life and makes one see the universe differently. Evolution Theory does not try to understand the origins of life itself, only how species came to be differentiated, and for the life of me I can't understand how it can be so controversial. If doubters read this book, maybe they would feel less afraid of or threatened by the subject, and we could all put this debate behind us.
"Fantastic examination of the evidence"
As a biology teacher in rural America i am always encountering resistance to the theory of Natural Selection. Mr. Dawkins does a fantastic job stating the evidence in a clear way. His introduction on the general misconceptions of theory in science and the colloquial is an excellent way to open any debate over the theory of natural selection.
Dawkins does have a bit of a snide tone towards the non believers, but to his credit it does not detract from his narrative and who can blame him. These "history deniers" as he terms them are like ostriches with their heads in the sand and refuse to objectively and honestly examine the plethora of evidence that has been collected in favor of natural selection and macro-evolution.
I cannot wait until I can incorporate Dawkins lessons into my lessons on evolution. This is a must read for anyone who finds themselves in debates over this topic. Arm you self with knowledge
"Brilliant, accessible, and well worth your time!"
Richard Dawkins has gone above and beyond the clever writing in books past. THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH is a book driven by logical, evidence-based ideas/laws/theorum/commentary, delivered in Dawkin's signature combination of wit and exquisitely turned phrases. I'm an MSW *masters in social work/psychoanalysis*, and this book was accessible, and a joy to listen to it unfold, gracefully. The book's pace and depth of topic are perfectly graded such that anyone with a sincere thirst for knowledge, and access to the net, could thoroughly enjoy themselves. I thought I understood the nuts and bolts of evolution, but I was wrong. My "up North" Michigan educators had not bothered to illuminate the subject of evolution, and consequently, I now realize the depth/breadth and degree of ignorance I'd been suffering all my 32 years, until completing this book.
"Wonderful Book"
This book is amazing look into the world of evolution. Very easy to understand providing examples and studies after every scientific explanation and theory. Narration was wonderful, the dual narrators complement each other perfectly. How fascinating that evolution involves Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy. A full and enriching book, a must read.
"Extremely informative, a joy to listen to"
Evolution has always captured my imagination, and this book may now be my favorite on the subject. Dawkins' passion is obvious in his narration, and he makes the case for natural selection and evolution gracefully. I sincerely hope he and his wife (Mrs. Ward) decides to go back and narrate some of his other books.. they're a joy to listen to.
If you're reading this book with a genuine desire to understand, it will leave you without a shadow of a doubt in the fact of evolution. I especially delight in the fact that our evidence is so strong, that the fossil record is just icing on the cake! Definitely give this book a listen, and if you're looking for something more theologically oriented, also checkout the God Delusion.. both transformative in their own right.
"Killing ID softly with his words"
This should be required reading for every biology 101 class. Or make that Chemistry. And geology. It comes at evolution from so many angles, makes it understandable and very interesting. Want to understand carbon dating? Embryology? I just wish it was longer. I kept thinking, "I wish Darwin could hear what we know now." Verification everywhere. So many ways evolution could be disproven, yet it keeps on winning. If you have a friend who is somehow stuck against evolution, insist that he read this book. If not the best audiobook I ever heard, it is in the top 3. Bravo!
"Back to His Strong Suit"
This book is not the same arguments you've heard before. Usually a book about evolution gives all of the old arguments and then adds the new data at the end. Dawkins gives a unique and thoroughly modern argument for evolution. I felt as if I was hearing the story for the first time. This book reminded me why evolution isn't just true but beautiful.
"Very compelling"
Dawkins does a great job of laying out the case for evolution. He cites, in detail, experiment after compelling experiment to prove his points. This book is going to rub creationists the wrong way, as Dawkins rarely hesitates to take shots at them. But, if you can keep an open mind throughout the book, I don't know how you can come away still believing in creationism (at least as taught in the Bible).
"An interesing read."
While I found the information in this book quite interesting, the writing style does not spark imagination as well as some other science writers, such as Hawking. In fact, the first part of the book was not great. The second half, however was really interesting. I mean, really interesting. I won't leak what each section is about, so as not to spoil this book for those who purchase. But for me, I give the first half 3 stars and the second half 5 stars. Overall, a good purchase.
"A refreshing look at reality."
The more I see of science, the more facinated I become. Dawkins has produced fantasict philosphical writing. This scientific writing is even more so.

PARKVILLE, Md. (AP) -- Baltimore County police say investigators have determined that a man spotted carrying gun near an elementary school was carrying an unloaded, antique rifle.
Police say investigators are not sure if the weapon can fire and an investigation is ongoing. Police say they received a call about 3:30 p.m. Monday reporting that a man was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun near Villa Cresta Elementary School. Authorities say the item was pointed at the ground and was not used in a threatening manner. The man also did not attempt to enter the school or interact with anyone before getting into a van and leaving the area.

chairmenmeow47 is posting live from randy's bedroom, so i'm taking these one at a time
as a kid, i fucking loved musicals. i was a musical theatre kid, so i listened to a lot of that, like les miserables, miss saigon, godspell, joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat, ect. i was also a fan of 50s/60s pop type stuff like elvis, dion and the belmonts, ect. at school, we listened to a lot of hip hop/rap, so i also had that going. i loved that "that girl is poison" song cause my name is ivy, lol.
as i hit my pre-teen days, i moved more into the beatles and classic rock. my parents had the record player in the same room as the computer, so i would listen to sgt. pepper while playing load runner on ye old macintosh 8100/80 av. i also started getting into more alternative stuff around this time. green day was a love of mein in 8th grade. fuck the haters, 1039 smoothed out slappy hours is a good album. the clueless soundtrack really stands out too.
what i remember most about 8th grade specifically is great skate (roller skating rink) allnighters. that's where i first really started appreciating a lot of the hip hop i'd been exposed to, electro, old school funk type stuff.
once i went to boarding school, i got introduced to skankin pickle, the aquabats, mephiskaphleles, the dead kennedys, sex pistols, misfits, decendents, ect. i had these two punk rockers as roommates who schooled me good. the trainspotting favourite was a favourite of mein and the first
when i got back to public school, i became quite the rude girl. my girlfriend jill started taking me to ska shows and i was hooked. i loved the skatalites, toots, slackers, kongo shock, ect. i also still listened to a lot of alternative stuff and hip hop/rap too.
my senior year is when i first started listening to edm. the dreaded hardcore started it all, but quickly i moved to jungle and dnb like r.a.w. and danny the wildchild.
after high school, i started living with a guy 5 years older than me who kindled my love of all things 80s and synth. another guy i dated after him really got me even further into it and eventually i dug more into the cure, radiohead, ect.
i guess that's where i am now. throughout all these years i've kept a love for classical piano, classic rock and old standards, taking my time to delve into artists as an opportunity presents itself. i completely admit i'm not really the type to just go seeking out tons of new music. i generally like to be referred by people or a moment or something and i go from there. i also don't illegally download unless desperate (and i have someone else do it then), so i'm not as "well listened" as i should be. but i'm really open to most any kind of music, or performance really, so long as it's passionate and entertaining.

Taxbreaks for the rich.
That's what we're getting.
"These were, I have to say, quite easily the ugliest people I have ever seen in my life, and I've been to Selhurst Park when Crystal Palace are at home."
Charlie Connelly, 'Attention All Shipping: a Journey round the Shipping Forecast'; published by Abacus Books, 2004, page 94.
Lower the tax thresholds and cancel the fuel surcharge.
Tax breaks for taking on more servants, and a moat allowance.
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
Stamp Duty phasing.
None to £ 250000.
1% £ 250000 - £ 500000
3% over £ 500000 but only pro rata, ie £ 250000 still at 1%
5% over £ 1 000 000 - on the whole amount

Gideon. Man of the people.
expect a cut on corporation tax and state backing for small/medium businesses to raise bonds and rule changes on what pensions can invest in, allowing them to buy wider range of bonds. he has £10b surplus on the deficit reduction program so expect a few rabbits pulled. announcement when 50p tax rate will end to appease backbenchers, but it'll stay for now to wrong foot Labour. its a silly political football, but like the Welsh yesturday, Osborne will just keep hold of it to run the clock down and prevent the opposition scoring.
Daily Mail readers are living in a perpetual hell, expecting their homes to be overrun at any minute by hoodie wearing, skunk smoking, muslim, transgender, asylum seekers.
Cigarettes up 70p a packet.
Scrap Road Fund License and add it to the cost to fuel - it would mean those that use pay.
Hold fuel tax itself.
Agree with US's Stamp Duty idea but would add an extra band of 10% for properties of £10m+.
Second home tax of £5k per year.
Derelict building tax of 10% of value per year. If the owners can't be traced then local authority can automatically take possession after a year.
Tax on aviation fuel.
Swimming pool tax ( for private ones only ) of £1k a year.
Increase the personal allowance.
Greens aren't Green - they're money grabbing morons !
I think a super-rich tax hike is the most important thing. There are so many millionaires using loopholes so they effectively pay a lower tax rate than regular working people which is a joke.
Rather than a swimming pool tax or the like (which they would already be paying for with water bills), I would suggest a tax rate based on vacant bedrooms. This would encourage lodging for smaller homes, or simply increased tax for the rich.
Fags are already expensive enough. £7.50 for a pack of 20 Marlboro lights is outrageous. All kinds of people smoke, but it still is a fundamentally working class activity - and many unemployed struggle to pay for their smoking habits as it is (it's an addiction and as important as food to many people)
Cigarettes are an easy target. Why not put them up to £ 15 a packet as people will still buy them to the extent of not eating as it is an addiction ? Rather than the tedious bashing of smokers now I would rather smoking is made illegal. The trouble is , despite all the health nazi's being completely obssessed with this subject , they will never be banned as the government makes too much money from smokers.

Spielberg is GOD.
But the money for water bills goes to private water companies NOT the treasury. Vacant bedrooms would be very hard to monitor - what if a bedroom was vacant 50% of the time and how do you monitor that ? What about very large houses with fewer bedrooms - they would avoid some tax. What about retired couples that have vacant bedrooms because their children have left home - should they effectively have to sell up because of the vacant bedroom tax ? What about people like me that have their children to stay every other weekend due to divorce - I can hardly rent out their bedrooms can I ? Would people like me have to pay this vacant bedroom tax.
At least with a swimming pool tax it's easy - do you have one or not ? If you don't like or can't afford the tax then fill it in.
Greens aren't Green - they're money grabbing morons !
-Cancel and revert all above inflation fuel rises since the last general election
-Tax on high street bookmakers
-National id smart card 'gambling' tax on punters winnings - about time they got hit like us smokers
-Tax threshold at 10k from 8.1k
-Rail fares to be decided on a 'per mile' and 'speed' basis
Your mum rates me
Scrap VAT on all second hand vans allowing more entreprenuial activity amongst the newly made redundant, and the long term unemployed with few financial resoures.

Outdoor wall spotlights are mainly used to focus attention on the outstanding features of the landscape design. Instead of letting your favorite area go unnoticed, you can opt for outdoor wall light fixtures that illuminate it and focus attention on it. You can install as many outdoor wall spotlights as you desire, to exhibit your exteriors in the most favorable light, especially at night. The modern directional spotlights have imparted even more flexibility to the ability to design the presence of exterior wall lighting fixtures. Now outdoor wall spotlights can be placed to focus on specific objects in the terrain, without compromising on symmetry. If you desire visitors' focus to be on the flowers and shrubs and the fountains in your garden, then outdoor spotlights are your best solution. Outdoor wall spotlights can also be used to dramatize your backyard, deck and pool.
Besides transforming the look of your exteriors, outdoor wall lighting fixtures have a very practical application – that of lighting up the walkways, pathways, driveways and steps to keep away unwanted and anti-social elements such as thieves and tramps. Therefore, they are a good safety measure. As compared to normal spotlights, outdoor wall spotlights are designed to resist severe environmental conditions like winds and blizzards and rains and hailstorms, which are encountered outdoors. We offer you outdoor wall spotlights in a variety of styles, shapes, materials and colors. Of late, low voltage spotlights, which use only 12 volts for lighting in place of the normal 120 volts, have been more common since these can be handled without the need to switch off the whole electric system. Another addition to outdoor wall spotlights is the availability of LED bulbs, which offer their own set of benefits, such as brighter light, flexibility of colors, lower running costs, sturdier build, longer lifespan and convenient installation. We offer outdoor wall spotlights with all the usual range of benefits which you get when you order from our online store – these include benefits of choice from a range of designs, colors, manufacturers and models; convenience of selecting and ordering from the comfort of your home, warranty, home delivery and a lot more.

I guess it would be more kindergarden to bring it on such a level and do not simply stay on the topic. So where is the realtion of your statement without putting some personal things into it?
I would not take it on blind faith, even if one would say he has study the Vinaya and at least there are numeros contradiction.
Just form my personal experiances (which are not relevat but maybe a sample), earlier I was used to make/control and mediating many million building contracts for big public constuction projects and dealed with 100 of laws and contracts of 500 pages and more. As I had seen the patimokkha for the first time, my thought was suddenly: "Wohh, there will be less who are not confused and will understand it even a little." when we take the Vinaya as comparable with other law, which it is indeed not.
Normal laws are working in a framework that values matters and used intentions only sometimes as a buffer of extrems while the Vinaya is the total different. It works as a buffer releted to matters in a frame that is working on the value of intentions.
So at least useless and full of contradiction (or the tendecy to blind faith, what ever one remembers on text) if one does not come out of the usually frame work of matters.
But maybe it would be better to come back to the single points and work them out.

What is a Femme Fatal Exactly?
Why are many characters like Electra referred to one?
I thought about making a group of Super-Hero's or Villains which were all female and call them
The Femme Fatal's who acknowledge that is what they are and they love being the femme fatal's they are. You go girl. Sorta like the Power Puff Girls except using 'real' characters and not spoofs.
