Contained within the audio for Theater of the Imagination are the great univeral themes - tales of loss and ressurection, of love and sacrifice; of the courage to survive- yet it is if Dr. Estes is speaking only to you.
©2005 Sounds True; (P)2005 Sounds True
"Wisdom and beauty"
This is the first time I have written a review and I felt compelled to tell you that this is amazing. Clarissa Pinkola Estes style is a joy to listen to and I felt that I was on this amazing journey of discovery. I will definitely be getting Volume 2!
"Theatre of the Imagination, Volume 1"
I love it!!! Clarissa Pinkola Est?s'poesie and stories are mystical and profound. She is witty and funny. She has a way to talk to her audience which is very genuine and intimate.I feel that she is taking to me. I am moved by the weaving of her profound reflection with the lightness of her imagination. I will get the volume 2.
"Chicken soup for the creative soul"
Clarissa Pinkola Estes is the Malcolm Gladwell of Jungian theory, for good reason. Like Gladwell, she has extracted from a rich sea of theory a storyline that explains to us so much of our own experience, and validates so many hunches that lurk just below the radar, always niggling but never resolved. Although I find her narration corny at times, she's also a good story teller, and sets a delightful campfire-tales atmosphere. If Jungian archetypes resonate with you at all, you'll find a treasure trove in Estes. Creatives types, or anyone not fulfilled by culturally mainstream roles, will find powerful balm in her Theater of the Imagination series.
I think I could listen to Clarissa's voice - forever. These stories have moved me deeply and I feel like a changed person after having listened to them. Beautiful, sensual, tragic - it's all here. What a spiritual feast and delight.
"Fantastic Storytelling"
Just love her - her voice is incredible and the stories completely take you away.
"Estes is as gifted entertainer and intellectual"
I found this book inspirational, fascinating, and an excellent jumping off point for an exploration of Jungian psychology and archetypes.
"A true story teller"
I have recommended this book to many friends.
I read "women who run with the wolves". Some of the stories are the same however there is added depth, and supporting stories that come with this reading.
I love to listen to her, she is really a great story teller.
"Absolutely enchanting"
I can't begin to describe how much I am enjoying this book, get it and see, its simply wonderful!
"So very worth it!"
Heartfelt, fascinating and honest.
The bringing to life much of Dr Estes' written work which I have followed for many years.
At 7 plus hours it lasts but still doesn't seem long enough, the sections fly by so fast you just never want it to end!
The chapter on the Ugly duckling moved me to tears because it felt as though she was reading it to me and me alone,
This book holds wisdom that can be heard on many levels. If you are a complete beginner through to a seasoned fan, there will be a lesson for all
"Another winner!"
Part II to this is on automatic purchase!

10 Weapons That Never Made It
Making a list of failed weapons systems, the temptation is to trot out the infamous ice-and-sawdust ship, the giant tricycle tank, or some other ridiculous doohickey. But the world of military programs is not neatly divided between the sublime and the stupid. There are a lot in-between cases.
By Erik Schechter
Brilliant Pebbles
The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) was a grandiose program for a grandiose time. One element of this Cold War programÄîand not even the craziest partÄî was a space-based system called Brilliant Pebbles. Instead of trying to zap intercontinental ballistic missiles with a laser, Brilliant Pebbles would lob watermelon-size pieces of tungsten at them. All a defense-minded nation needed to do was seed space with 4000 armed satellites. Alas, before the program was completed, the Soviet Union had fallen apart. Brilliant Pebbles was cancelled in 1993.

New Device IDs Disease-Causing Germs
THURSDAY, Aug. 22 (HealthDay News) -- A new spectrometer system designed to identify 193 yeast and bacteria that are capable of making people sick has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The Vitek MS can screen for yeasts such as Candida and Malassezia and bacteria from the Staphylococcaceae and pneumonia families, the agency said in a news release. People with AIDS and others with weakened immune systems are most prone to infections from these germs.
The device uses a laser to break germs into pattern-forming particles that are unique to each yeast or bacterium, the FDA said. Only a small amount is necessary to identify these germs, which collectively are responsible for skin, bloodstream and respiratory infections.
In clinical testing, the new device correctly identified a germ's scientific group or family more than 93 percent of the time, the agency said.
The Vitek MS is manufactured by bioMerieux Inc of Durham, N.C.

Quick Video Intro to Tempurpedic Mattresses
The basic point that you must know about TempurPedic mattresses is that they are quality foam mattresses and Tempur-Pedic has done a good job of expanding their product line in the last few years to offer people a variety of foam mattresses that suits their lifestyles. From a slew of Tempurpedic reviews, it's evident that the line of TempurPedic Mattresses is certainly of very good quality, and they continue satisfying their customers with the quality of sleep they offer.
You must know that base foam used for Tempurpedic mattresses is firm. So, the firmness of TempurPedic mattresses depends on the depth and layers of the Tempur foam used on top of the base foam. The firmest TempurPedic mattresses then are those that have the thinnest layers of memory foam on top or the highest density foam.
Which TempurPedic Mattresses to Try Out?
If you like a pretty firm mattress, then the OriginalBed and the TEMPUR-Contour or the TEMPUR-Contour Select are three models you should check out. For those who are looking for something medium-firm in a TempurPedic, the mattress to check out is TEMPUR-Contour Signature or the BellaFina Bed by Tempur-Pedic in the Tempur-Countour collection. These are the sweet-spot mattresses in the TempurPedic mattress line – and perhaps the bestselling of their various collections, as evident from numerous TempurPedic reviews online.
One other option in the medium-firm category would be the newer model that Tempurpedic has come out with – The RhapsodyBed. The RhapsodyBed by Tempur-Pedic seems much like the TEMPUR-Contour in its construction except that it incorporates some of Tempurpedic's higher density Tempur foam called Tempur-HD. Tempurpedic doesn't hold out that this higher density Tempur foam offers any additional benefits over the standard Tempur foam, but it does have a bit more of a firmer feel. So if you are in the market for medium to firm Tempurpedic mattresses, you may want to test and try for yourself these models to see which one feels better to you. If you're looking to purchase online and can't try them in-store, pay closer attention to those Tempurpedic Reviews where the reviewer is in a similar situation as yours and is now happy with a particular collection. Sometime these online Tempurpedic Reviews are urged either by happy customers or competitors. There's power in masses, so if more people like a particular brand or collection, the more you may like it as well if you're in the same situation as those writing the reviews.
Should I Try Alternatives to TempurPedic Mattresses?
Various mattress brands available at Amazon and other online stores are competitors of TempurPedic mattresses. They also offer very similar products in both construction and quality of sleep. Don't be shy to shop around for the best value in mattresses. Some of these brands receive just as glowing reviews as the Tempurpedic mattresses do.
Tempur-Pedic is now a household name since they put a lot of effort into matching good quality beds for each and every costumer; and, all customers don't need the same thing. Don't be fooled by imitators using funny language to trick you into buying a memory foam bed that is not as good in quality as TempurPedic mattresses. You must always settle for the best in value and for something that gives you some peace of mind along with a restful sleep. If you are unsatisfied, you have 90 days to return your TempurPedic Mattresses without penalty, for a full-cash refund. These days buying your TempurPedic mattresses online is a great alternative to buying in-store, since you get the same customer support & satisfaction, better use of your time and also a better chance that what you order will of a better value and better for you based on all the Tempurpedic reviews online.

[1], Legends in Exile
Legends in exile
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Fantasy creature live in the modern world as a result of some conflict with something called the Adversary. Now they live together, outcasts from their own worlds and lands and do their best to get by. There's a government of sorts, there are characters taking the time to reform, and there are those who still up to their old tricks and expect things to work out.
The art reads like an older mystery comic, which is fitting since this volume deals with the murder of one of these characters, but the whole thing really hinges on the world more than the mystery. You're given some very small clues but the big parlour scene reveal at the end spells it all out for you. I'm curious more about the world. If you're into fairy tale retellings or modern fantasy I'd give this a go.
Wonderfully creative look at how the "Fables" of yesteryear are living in the modern world. Beautifully illustrated with a very well crafted story. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Gah, I loved this book! It was soo awesome! I love the twists put onto the character stories, and the modernization of it all. I especially love the chemistry (or lack thereof) between Snow and Bigby. ;) The one complaint was that I figured out the whodunit a little after halfway, and it wasn't as compelling or fantastic as I was hoping. =( Regardless, this is a great read!
I love this whole series. Bill Willingham, the writer, is a very very clever man. It's a lame premise, (which I remember every time I try to explain it to people), but its so well written you forget that pretty quick. It's also beautifully drawn. I recommend it. In sequence. (PS the spinoffs written by other people are lame. Avoid.)
Very creative re-imagining of fairytale characters in NYC living no-so-happily-ever-after lives (and way more interesting and darker than the tv series "Once Upon a Time"). That's most of the fun. The actual mystery plot is very mundane.
Great graphic novel.
Man I feel bad for not giving this a chance before!.I've heard about but thought the premise was strange.It's nice though.To me at least it gives the vibeof a living in secret community sort of like how the X-men are at times.What's more like it has loads of material to work from with mostly European stories and folklore.I got me some catching up to do!.
Legends in Exile is the first entry in Bill Willingham's Fable series, and this one sets the scene and explains how these refugees from over a hundred magic worlds ended up in New York City, living their lives out beside the mundane, as they call humans.
Some of my favorite fairy tale characters appear in this volume, from the scoundrel Jack (of Beanstalk and Giant Killer fame), the devastatingly beautiful sisters, Snow White and Rose Red, and the world-weary Big Bad Wolf now destined to act as sheriff for the storybook community.
The plot revolves around the disappearance, and supposed murder of Rose Red, and we follow along with Mr. Wolf as he investigates, interviews his suspects, and then, much to his pleasure, stages the unveiling of the actual crime, at the yearly Remembrance Day Ball, Fabletown's grandest event of the year.
A quick, fun read, and a great start to a series that I anticipate enjoying.
This comic was a brilliant read! The murder, the lies, the suspense, and the alteration of our favorite childhood fairytales twisted into 119 pages of comics.
The graphics had the classic comics drawing. Each characters had their own spice. They were all different from the characters we remember as our childhood fairytales. The plot was breath-taking; I was at the edge of my seat. When the murder was solved it had the moment of "Holy crap! I didn't expect that! Look at all the details! How could I not seen that!" Pure magic, kind of remind me of the Detective Conan comics where you just fan girls at the detective skills.
There were gory scenes and sexual contents but it won't be a good comics if there weren't any.
I'm pretty sure the show Once Upon A Time was sort of influenced by the Fables comics. But I personally enjoy Fables better because it is not cheesy and typical. It actually have substance.
I cannot wait until I get my hands on the second book. :)
✩✩✩✩✩ 5 glossy, shiny, golden stars out of 5 stars!
I really enjoyed the story. Great idea and unique plot.

Eliminate or reduce pesticide use
Pesticides are designed to kill, repel, or otherwise control perceived pest organisms - they are intentionally toxic substances. It is critical to realize, furthermore, that the vast majority of pesticides are toxic to organisms beyond the targeted pests. Whenever we use insecticides (for insect control), herbicides (for weed control), fungicides (for fungus control), rodenticides (for rodent control), or other pesticides, we must recognize that we are potentially exposing birds, beneficial organisms, pets, and people to risk. It is estimated that seven million birds die each year because of exposure to lawn pesticides. In a recent study of pesticide exposure among children living in a major U.S. metropolitan area, traces of garden chemicals were found in 99% of the 110 children tested. Remember, because children and pets have smaller body sizes, a tendency to play and roll on the ground, and frequently put in their mouths things that they find, they have a greater risk of exposure to applied pesticides do than adult humans.
Pesticide use is rampant in this country - homeowners apply an estimated 78 million pounds of insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides per year to their homes, lawns, and gardens. And, this does not include applications made by pest control and lawn care professionals. Herbicide use is growing at a particularly rapid rate with homeowners using over 50% more than they did 20 years ago. According to the most recent data reported by the EPA (1999), 74% of a total 103.9 million U.S. households use some type of pesticide - 58 million households using insecticides, 40 million using herbicides.
As a consequence of such widespread use, pesticides have become pervasive in our environment. A U.S. Geological Survey analysis of 20 major river basins and aquifer systems reveals that commonly used lawn and garden pesticides are routinely found in surface and ground water throughout the country. Many can also persist in soil and in our gardens, and can be carried on our feet into our homes.
Beginning in your backyard you can do your part to reduce the amount of toxins that can potentially end up in streams, soil, food chains, and on children's hands. Before even contemplating pest control - make sure you have a pest problem. Learn your enemies. Equally important, learn your natural allies in pest control and welcome these beneficial organisms such as dragonflies, parasitic wasps, and lacewings into your yard.
In the healthy backyard, less-toxic alternatives are used to deal with common pests and weeds should a problem occur. In many cases, the only "active ingredient" you'll need is some elbow grease; hand-pulling weeds, for instance, can eliminate the use of herbicides and the risks they pose to the broader environment.
Before reaching for the spray, dust, or turf builder, consider the many available alternatives. Encourage your neighbors to do the same since what they spray on their yard can drift to yours. If repeated infestations of your plants have you bugged, consider native plants - they're more resistant to pests and are adapted to withstand attacks. Carefully assess the reason you consider pesticide use at all. If it is for lawn or other strictly aesthetic uses, find a non-toxic alternative. Remember that your children and pets as well as birds and other wildlife will be in direct contact with whatever is applied to your lawn.

What to Do in Anna Maria Island
Beach Pleasures
Every Anna Maria Island travel guide should begin with the beach. The white sand and turquoise waters are the main draw, and the beach has been attracting visitors for decades.

Adventurous travelers will find a wide range of beach activities to keep busy. From kayaking to sailing to scuba diving to parasailing, Anna Maria Island offers just about every outdoor adventure activity under the sun. Whether you're an expert or giving an activity a try for the first time, Anna Maria Island will provide an ideal backdrop. If you're planning some quality family time, why not head out for a deep sea fishing charter?
Get Ready to Explore
One thing frequent visitors to Anna Maria Island love about this destination is that there is always more to explore. Take a stroll along the beach and discover gorgeous seashells, rent a bike for some sunset exercise, or hop aboard the local free trolley service to take in the views.

If you want to go parasailing or charter a fishing boat, there's no need to plan days in advance if you don't want to. Part of the fun of exploring in Anna Maria Island is striking while the iron is hot.
The Sophisticated Side of Anna Maria Island
Visitors don't have to worry about loud nightlife or noisy neighbors during a trip to Anna Maria Island. This destination is known for its relaxed atmosphere and romantic scenery. While families do travel here and enjoy all of the adventure activities, this is also a wonderful place for couples to go and reconnect during a vacation.
A walk on the beach, an afternoon spent bird watching, or a picnic during a sunset sail - there are many ways to send sparks flying in your relationship during a visit to Anna Maria Island. The island is also home to excellent shopping and dining. For those who want even more sophistication, local art galleries and attractions will add another dimension to your trip.
What to See in Anna Maria Island
Local Landmarks
Many visitors will be tempted to see nothing but the pristine beaches during a trip to Anna Maria Island. If you prefer a little more sightseeing infused in your vacation, there is plenty to see as well. Some travelers don't realize that this coastline is actually full of cultural attractions. Get your culture fix by attending a show at the Island Players live theatre or the Ringling Museum of Art. It should come as no surprise that many of the local landmarks are based around wildlife. If you're interested in learning more about the wildlife of Florida, there are many opportunities in this region including the South Florida Museum and Aquarium, the Mote Marine Aquarium, and the Florida Aquarium.
More Thrills in Anna Maria Island

A local tennis academy is a great place to work on a different type of swing, while Busch Gardens in Tampa is an ideal place to blow off some steam on a few roller coasters. A trip to this area of Florida can be as exciting or relaxing as you desire.
Where to Shop and Eat in Anna Maria Island
Super Shopping in Anna Maria Island
One of the best ways to explore the island is with shopping. After a few days spent sunbathing and boating you might be in need of a little retail therapy.

Popular local fish includes grouper, red snapper, blue crab, and mullet.
Any Anna Maria Island travel guide will tell you that the local specialty is fish. Many travelers come here to eat fish every night - and enjoy every single bite! If you're looking for fine dining, check out Harry's Continental Kitchens, Island Gourmet, Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant, or Beach House Restaurant. More casual options include City Pier Restaurant, Gathering Place, and Feeling Swell.
When to Visit Anna Maria Island
It is important for an Anna Maria Island travel guide to tell potential visitors about the best time to visit. Yet, many of these guides oversimplify things. The truth is, every traveler must decide what season fits best. Some people love the hot and humid summers while others prefer the mild days of winter - it's all up to individual taste!
One thing is true across the board - hurricane season reaches its peak at the end of August and into early September. If you plan your trip during this time there is a chance that your vacation could be interrupted by a storm. Anna Maria Island doesn't experience the same crowds that other beach destinations do, so you don't have to worry about planning a trip to avoid the crowds.
What to Bring to Anna Maria Island
The beauty of getting away to the beach is not having to worry about too much. Unlike a ski vacation that requires a long packing list, you really only need your beach basics to enjoy a trip to Anna Maria Island. As long as you have a bathing suit, flip flops, and sunscreen, you will enjoy every minute of your trip. There are options for fine dining here, so if you plan on sampling local cuisine, do pack along a few nicer outfits. A vacation rental is always more fun with a little entertainment, so bring along a few board games and make game night a fun part of your family getaway.
Local Services in Anna Maria Island
The services in Anna Maria Island meet the needs of visitors. You will find grocery stores, florists, places to rent kayaks, and fishing boats to charter. Visitors should be aware that in this relaxed town, things operate according to business hours, so as long as you aren't trying to get groceries at 10 p.m., you won't be disappointed.
What to Know About Anna Maria Island
Anna Maria Island is located 40 miles south of Tampa. This means that a trip here can be both an escape to an island oasis and an exploration of an exciting cultural city. Many travelers spend a week on the beach without giving much thought to exploring beyond the borders of the island. While a straight beach vacation has its own merits, there is also a lot of wildlife, attractions, and culture to discover in this immediate area of the Sunshine State.
Getting to Anna Maria Island
Most travelers either drive to Anna Maria Island or drive from the Tampa Airport. This international airport has excellent connections to cities across the U.S. and beyond, making Anna Maria Island very easy to get to from almost anywhere. Once you arrive in Tampa, you might want to rent a car. Anna Maria Island is located 40 miles south of Tampa, a distance that justifies a rental car. Many travelers also enjoy the freedom of a rental car that allows for easy exploration of nearby attractions.
Why Anna Maria Island Vacation Rentals?
The picture of a blissful beach vacation just isn't complete without a vacation rental. An oceanfront villa, where you can watch the sun rise and set, where you can sip a glass of wine under the stars, where you can spread out in comfort; this makes the difference between a good vacation and a great vacation.

Is it an old wives tale, or is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Perhaps your mother always made you eat hot lumpy porridge in the morning, so as soon as you escaped her clutches, you developed the coffee and cigarette habit in college, and ever since then breakfast was a bagel... at lunchtime.
But it's actually true, breakfast can make or break a diet, because breakfast helps set the tone for the rest of the day. If you're one of those people who think skipping breakfast is a good way to lose weight... think again. Here are the top reasons why you should definitely eat breakfast, every day:
Whatever your diet you follow... breakfast is one meal you don't want to miss.

Blockbuster Gets Bid from Icahn, Dish Network: Report
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Blockbuster (BLOAQ.PK) has reportedly received several more bids ahead of its auction next week.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that billionaire investor Carl Icahn and satellite-television company Dish Network have each submitted offers to purchase the bankrupt movie rental retailer.
Bids for the company were due Thursday evening.
According the Journal, which cites sources familiar with the matter, the bidders have made minimum offers required to qualify for Monday's auction. The bidding will start at $290 million, which was the "stalking horse" offer approved by a judge earlier in the month.It has also been speculated that Blockbuster received an unexpected bid from a South Korean wireless communication company. Icahn's potential interest in Blockbuster comes after he said in an article in April's edition of Harvard Business Review that the company was the "worst investment" he ever made. --Written by Jeanine Poggi in New York.

Supporting Adoptive Parents
Adoptive parents face many challenges and you may find it helpful to talk to someone about issues related to your child's adoption. You may, for example, want some ideas about how to discuss adoption with your child, or how to react to, and cope with your child's feelings about his or her adoption or you may have concerns or need help with contact arrangements.
Hampshire County Council's Adoption Support Service offers the chance to meet up with other adoptive parents, discussion and counselling on any aspect of adoption, signposting to other helpful services, and offers a series of groups and workshops on a range of topics. An adoptive parent can request an adoption support needs assessment
If you think you need support, please ask the Adoption Support team. The support could come from the team, who can signpost to a range of services, or from nominated providers, including:
Post Adoption Centre (PAC) Support Surgeries - PAC is an independent adoption support charity, which uses its experience and expertise to help adopters across the UK. Hampshire works in partnership with PAC to support adoptive parents by offering group support sessions (both daytime and evening), parenting workshops, help with life story books and also provide one-to-one support. PAC also runs a helpline for adoptive parents - 020 7284 58 79.
Adoption UK - Hampshire also works in partnership with Adoption UK, a self-help charity run by and for adoptive parents and foster carers, offering support before, during and after adoption. All newly approved adopters in Hampshire are given one year of free membership to Adoption UK, and new and existing adopters are encouraged to attend meetings and social events.
Hampshire also links with Adoption UK to provide a Buddy Support Scheme for those in the early stages of placement. This support can also be accessed later on if you are having a particularly difficult or challenging time.
These services are open to adoptive parents who have adopted children from Hampshire (excluding Portsmouth, Southampton and Isle of Wight). Adoptive parents, resident in Hampshire, who did not adopt through the county but whose child's adoption order is more than three years old are also entitled to use these services.

Venice Film Festival Line-Up to Include Terry Gilliam's THE ZERO THEOREM, Errol Morris' THE UNKNOWN KNOWN, and Hayao Miyazaki's THE WIND RISES
by Matt Goldberg Posted 1 year, 150 days ago
Earlier this week, the Toronto International Film Festival unveiled part of its 2013 line-up, and there were plenty of must-see movies. But the Venice Film Festival, which begins a week earlier, has countered with an equally impressive array of picture. While there's the inevitable cross-over like Venice opener Gravity playing at TIFF along with Philomena, Under the Skin, Parkland, Joe, and many more, the Venice exclusives (at this point) make me want to book a Transatlantic ticket. The fest will play host to the world debuts of Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem, Errol Morris' Donald Rumsfeld documentary The Known Unknown, Steven Knight's Locke (starring Tom Hardy and shot in one take), and more. Also set for the festival is Hayao Miyazaki's new movie, The Wind Rises as well as Lee Sang-Il's Japanese remake of Unforgiven. Last year, most of the movies in Venice eventually ended up in TIFF's line-up, and since I'll be going to the latter, I hope most of these movies find their way to Toronto this September.
Hit the jump for the full line-up. The 2013 Venice Film Festival runs from August 28 – September 7th.

The Race for California's New 10th Congressional District
All over Modesto, five candidates for the new California 10th Congressional seat were pushing for votes until the last minute.
In the end, what could have been a test of California's new "Top Two" primary system, has turned into a November general election showdown between Republican Jeff Denham and Democrat Jose Hernandez.
The five candidate field for the district covering Stanislaus and south San Joaquin counties included familiar names like Denham and Independent candidate Chad Condit, son of former Valley congressman Gary Condit.
"I choose to be independent because I am independent. I represent the silent majority so to speak that are forgotten inWashington, D.C.The political parties, the most powerful organizations in our country, the Democratic and Republican National parties have forgotten the average folks," Condit told FOX40.
Even for Denham, a sitting representative, Tuesday's primary was a first. Denham currently represents California's 19th district, which meanders from Oakdale down to Chowchilla and Kerman. Due to redistricting set by the 2010 election, Denham's district changed, leaving him to stump with people he'd never represented before.
"Certainly south San Joaquin county was new to me, it was not part of my Senate seat or current congressional seat, so we spent a lot of time walking in Tracy, Manteca, Ripon, Escalon and getting to know a lot of new voters," Denham told FOX40.
While lacking the name recognition of Denham and Condit, Jose Hernandez brought star power to the primary race, as a NASA astronaut.
"Now it's a question of what kind of candidate, what kind of Congressman does South San Joaquin and Stanislaus County want," Hernandez told FOX40.
Rounding out the field of candidates were Manteca attorney and CPA Michael Barkley and 2007 Stanislaus State graduate Troy McComak.
The California 10th race between Hernandez and Denham will be closely watched nationwide come November. The Democratic National Committee considers the district a bellwether in the fight to take back the House of Representatives.
In a statement late Tuesday night, Hernandez said he is excited to continue his campaign.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

RIP: Don Pardo
For the New York Times obituary of Saturday Night Live announcer Don Pardo, who passed away Monday at age 96, Neil Genzlinger and Bill Carter do a good job of sourcing key portions of a 2006 interview Pardo recorded for the Archive of American Television. Here for example, via that conversation, is how Pardo says he came up with his slowed down and heavily enunciated signature announcing style:
Mr. Pardo said the way The Price is Right was shot led him to develop his peculiar elongated delivery. "The cameras are moving so slowly, and that's the way I had to describe it: slowly," he said of the merchandise on the show, which he would describe before contestants tried to guess its price. "Those cameras were large then. You want to make sure you describe what the camera is on."

The Problem with Powder
Midweek powder on a day off must be the best kind of powder. Yesterday morning, even though I slept in (I know, I know, for shame), there were fresh tracks in Cedar Bowl waiting for me when the upper ridge opened just before noon. And even after several delicious turns in knee-deep powder and a ride up both the T-bar and the Boom Chair, there were still plenty of fresh turns to be found for my second run. And my third. And my fourth.
So while dirty laundry sat strewn on my floor, the little food left went bad in my fridge, bills stayed unpaid, and my body entered day three without a shower, I giggled down the ski hill, eating powder (and one ridiculously overpriced burger from the Day Lodge) for lunch. Weee!
Never mind that I haven't washed my hair in days, or that the smell of my ski socks would kill a small mammal. Never mind that people have started phoning me, wondering why I haven't answered their email from a few weeks ago. Never mind that I still haven't deposited my paycheques. It snowed! To the hill! And when I'm done? A chronic case of jelly-legs deems hot-tubbing and sitting on the couch my only feasible accomplishments.
That's the problem with powder: when there's fresh snow, you HAVE to ski. Other obligations get pushed to the side. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. If my biggest problem is that the piles of deep powder have made it difficult to complete mundane everyday tasks, then I have no problems.
In any case, low levels of personal hygiene and chronic lack of groceries seems to be a Fernie-wide state during powder days. Am I the only one wandering around town in my fermenting ski gear after a day at the hill? Certainly not.
Town-wide acceptance of low levels of productivity on powder days: just one more thing to love about living in a ski town. Happy powder days, everyone!

Manchester United may still be basking in the afterglow of a 13th Barclays Premier League title while Reading and Queens Park Rangers reflect on their imminent return to the Championship, but with three matchweeks of the season left there is still plenty at stake for clubs at both ends of the table.
UEFA Champions League football is still the target for the five clubs occupying second to sixth place, but one of those berths will almost certainly be taken by Manchester City, who require three more points from their remaining matches against Swansea City, West Bromwich Albion, Reading and Norwich City to secure a place at European football's top table.
Assuming there is no Man City capitulation, that will leave four clubs battling it out for the remaining two places. Chelsea lie third on 65 points, Arsenal are a point back on 64, Tottenham Hotspur lie two points further behind in fifth place and Everton, in sixth, are not yet mathematically out of the picture with 59 points.
Crucially Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have played one match fewer than Arsenal, but that game in hand takes place between the European club champions and Andre-Villas-Boas's side at Stamford Bridge on 8 May. Should Spurs win that encounter, and their other three remaining matches, against Southampton, Stoke City and Sunderland, they will finish in the top four.
On paper third-placed Chelsea are in a position of strength but that could all change should they lost to Manchester United on Sunday and then drop points at home to Spurs three days later.
The Blues, who also have a UEFA Europa League semi-final second leg to contend with this Thursday, then have two more tricky fixtures to negotiate in the form of Aston Villa away and Everton at home.
Arsenal could find themselves in a position whereby they miss out on a top-four finish despite winning all of their remaining matches. The north Londoners go to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday evening, before hosting Wigan Athletic on 14 May and concluding their campaign at Newcastle United. Their fate could even hinge on goal difference.

"It will come down to nerve and be about who is the most clinical at the right moments," said Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta this week. "When it gets to the last games, the teams who are the most clinical win. We have seen that over the last few weeks.
"Every team in the Premier League is playing for something – relegation or Europe. It will be interesting"
Mikel Arteta
"It will be a battle for everyone. There is pressure on us like there is for the other teams. Every team in the Premier League is playing for something – relegation or Europe. It will be interesting."
Arteta's former club Everton will be hoping for their rivals to drop points on the way to the finishing line, but they have a five-point gap to bridge on fourth place, have played one match more than Tottenham and face a trip to in-form Liverpool on Sunday. The Blues can also still qualify for the UEFA Europa League by overtaking Spurs, who are three points and three goals better off than Everton with a game in hand.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are out of Champions League contention and need to win all their remaining matches to stand any chance of booking another Europa League adventure. Even then they would depend on Everton dropping points and Spurs managing no less than a point from their last four matches.
At the other end of the table, there are still 11 clubs within 10 points above the drop zone with four matches left, including ninth-placed Swansea City. West Ham United, in 10th also have 42 points to their name but have played one match more than Michael Laudrup's side, and supporters of the east London outfit will need no reminding that it was with that very same points-haul that the Hammers became the side with the highest points-tally to suffer relegation back in 2002/03.
That said, the sheer number of sides lying beneath them who will take points off each other makes the Swams West Ham virtual certainties to stay up. Fulham and Stoke City, on 40 points apiece are also relatively, although not completely, safe, while Southampton are not yet out of the woods. Saints are a point worse off and Norwich City in 14th are still looking over their shoulder on 38 points.
The club under the greatest threat of demotion are Wigan Athletic, who are third from bottom and five points from safety. They, however, are the only club in the bottom half of the table with a game in hand. Should the perennial escape artists win that match they would just be two points behind their closest rivals Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Sunderland.
The run in for Roberto Martinez's side is complicated by their involvement in the FA Cup final on 11 May. After facing West Bromwich Albion away and Swansea at home, Wigan go to Wembley. Three days later their survival bid takes them to Arsenal before an end-of-season finale against Aston Villa.

Both north-east clubs will need to recover quickly from the shock of conceding six goals at the weekend to avoid getting sucked towards the trap door, with Newcastle hoping to improve in their final three matches against West Ham, QPR and Arsenal.
"We are in a dogfight, and we have got to fight"
Alan Pardew
Alan Pardew, for one, is under no illusios about the task facing his side: "We are in a dogfight, and we have got to fight," said the Magpies' manager after his side's 6-0 home humilation at the hands of Liverpool. "We have enough character and belief in that dressing room to get through it. We have to show that now."
Sunderland's last three matches take in Stoke, Southampton and Tottenham, while Aston Villa, fresh from Monday night's 6-1 thrashing of the Black Cats meet Norwich before taking on Chelsea and, on what could be a dramatic final day showdown, Wigan.

Continuing the tradition of Sensi Seeds improving on their best work, Sensi Seeds is delighted to present Jack Flash - an all-female version of Jack Herer´s direct descendant!
To create Jack Flash, Herer´s sublime gene-pool was refined, reinforcing desired traits through back-crossing. Over multiple generations, our favourite Herer mother was infused with a precise blend of Super Skunk and Haze, undergoing rigorous selection and testing at every stage.
By altering this program only slightly and adding a unique 'father´ plant to the mix in the final stage, we have been able to produce Jack Flash #5- a reliable, consistent, feminised variation on Sensi Seeds spectacular Jack Flash. Jack Flash has the bulk and vigour of her Afghani-Skunk ancestors without sacrificing any of Herer´s sumptuous Haze high. In isolating this particular balance of traits, the four common phenotypes of Jack Herer are reduced to two recurring forms in Jack Flash, representing the contrasting sides of her heritage.
The Indica form is compact enough for SOG, with rapid and highly distinctive bud development. Calyxes swell to outrageous sizes, piling atop each other to form resin-saturated ropes which build into multi-point crowns on terminal buds.
The Sativa-dominant Jack Flash is a truly world-class example of cannabis. Her flavour, yield and mind-body potency are virtually unparalleled. Significant height gain in flowering, paired with the ability to completely fill out with solid, running, Skunk-Haze bud means that best results are seen in when Jack Flash´s Sativa form is allowed to finish at 1m or taller. While most members of the Sensi family rate Northern Lights#5 x Haze or Jack Herer as their all-time favourite ganja, Jack Flash is another serious contender for the title and is steadily gaining ground on the two world champion Sativas.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Files Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Cirrus Logic, Inc. (CRUS)
NEW YORK, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Notice is hereby given that Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ( Dovellos v. Cirrus Logic, Inc. et al, No.13 CIV 2174), on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Cirrus Logic, Inc. ("Cirrus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CRUS) stock and/or call options between July 31, 2012 and October 31, 2012, inclusive (the "Class Period") and suffered damages as a result.
A copy of the complaint can be viewed on the firm's website at www.faruqilaw.com/CRUS.
Cirrus and its executives are charged with violations of Section 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants knew or recklessly failed to inform investors that: (1) Cirrus's dependence on revenues from Apple was increasing rather than decreasing; (2) Cirrus's sales growth was decreasing rather than increasing; (3) Cirrus was experiencing rising costs and difficulties with regards to its supply chain and its vendors; (4) the launch of certain models of new LED lights had been delayed; and (5) as a result thereof, Cirrus's increased fiscal year 2013 guidance was not feasible.On October 31, 2012, Cirrus disclosed that the Company's dependence on Apple was increasing, rather than decreasing as their previous guidance had indicated. On this news, Cirrus's stock declined 10% from the class period high to close at $40.78 per share on October 31, 2012.

MIKE ALVARADO vs. RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV
When: Saturday
Where: 1STBANK Center; Broomfield, Colo.
TV: HBO; 9:45 p.m. (delayed)
Outlook: Alvarado and Provodnikov have a common opponent in Mauricio Herrera. Alvarado defeated Herrera in 2012 by unanimous decision, and Provodnikov lost to Herrera in 2011. But both have come a long way since then. Provodnikov moves back down to 140 after slugging it out with Timothy Bradley in March, and it will be interesting to see how much that physically grueling fight took out of him. The same can be said for Alvarado coming off the two Rios fights.
Prediction: Neither fighter is known for his defense. Alvarado has the better mix of brawler and boxer, and look for his experience to show, leading to an entertaining unanimous decision.
Record in 2013: 24-8
After two grueling bouts with Brandon Rios, the second earning him the WBO junior welterweight title, Mike Alvarado finally gets to go home.
But Alvarado, who was born in Denver, will not be able to celebrate his homecoming if he's unable to tame the Siberian Rocky, Ruslan Provodnikov.
The two meet at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colo., in a potential Fight of the Year clash on HBO Saturday night.
Provodnikov (22-2, 15 KOs) was a relative unknown until his toe-to-toe slugfest with Tim Bradley in March at the then-Home Depot Center.
Provodnikov lost a narrow unanimous decision, 115-112 and 114-113 on two scorecards. He brought the fight out of Bradley, and he's willing to do the same against Alvarado (34-1, 23 KOs).
Alvarado didn't really have a plan in his first fight with Rios last October. From the opening bell, Alvarado and Rios took turns bombing away on each other until Rios stopped Alvarado in the seventh round.
The fans and fighters clamored for a rematch and it was granted in March. This time, Alvarado followed a smarter game plan and edged Rios by unanimous decision.
Then in the wacky world of boxing, Rios, whom Alvarado defeated, was selected as the next opponent for Manny Pacquiao, leaving Alvarado to dance with the rugged Provodnikov.
"I was ready for any one of these fighters," Alvarado said. "That's the way it goes sometimes. I know there are still great fights like that available. I'm going to stick with what I have right now."
Right now, Provodnikov is enough to command Alvarado's full attention.
"There's not much I can say as a promoter. I don't have to sell this fight," Top Rank's Bob Arum said. "Anyone that knows anything about boxing knows that going in this fight is going to be a candidate for fight of the year."
It seems fitting that HBO will debut "Legendary Nights: The Tale of Gatti-Ward" after the Alvarado-Provodnikov fight.
The film will take a look at the memorable trilogy between Arturo Gatti and Mickey Ward and their friendship outside the ring.
Gatti and Ward faced each other three times in an 11-month span between 2002-03. Ward won the first meeting by majority decision in May 2002, Gatti won the next two by unanimous decision (Nov. 2002 and June 2003).
HBO will also televise last week's Bradley-Juan Manuel Marquez welterweight title before the Alvarado-Provodnikov fight.
Thompson Boxing returns with its Locked n' Loaded show at the Doubletree Hotel (222 N. Vineyard Drive, Ontario) Friday night. Christopher Martin (27-2-3, nine KOs) meets Enriquez Quevedo (14-6-1, nine KOs) in the main event. Santa Ana's Erick Ituarte (5-0-1) is scheduled to fight on the card. …
IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins will defend his title Oct. 26 against Karo Murat on Showtime. The co-main event will feature WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin against Gabriel Rosado.

OHV Information
Owners of ATVs, off-highway motorcycles or snowmobiles, brought into Utah by non-residents, must obtain a non-resident permit for their machine. Some states offer reciprocity, meaning there is a mutual agreement between states not to charge non-residents fees.
To obtain a non-resident permit, you must provide proof of out-of-state residency and that the OHV is not owned by a Utah resident. The cost for a 12-month permit is $30. Revenues generated from OHV user fees are dedicated to construction, improvement, operation and maintenance of OHV trails throughout Utah.
A permit can be obtained online here, or in Moab at the Moab Visitors Center located at the corner of Main St And Center St. More information regarding OHV tags can be found at the Utah State Parks website.

If I tell someone in the Pioneer Valley I'm originally from Texas, their eyes are likely to glaze as questions cascade through their synapses. They look around nervously. Is there a large belt buckle in evidence? Would that reliably indicate the presence of a Bible Belt reactionism? Why don't I sound like Ross Perot? Will I try to baptize them?
When the full parade of interior questions has at last sauntered by, I often get a polite inquiry, usually something like, "Do you miss it?"
I always say the same thing. I've lived in Texas, Lousiana and Mississippi, and no, I don't miss the heat or the conservatism in any of them. I do miss the music—there is an undeniable regional authenticity to country, blues, bluegrass and jazz, and the sounds just aren't the same further north. Southern musicians play through all the time, though, and I've got a lot of records.
But there's one thing I miss that just can't be fixed by anyone except a fellow Texan: the food. Hadley's Mi Tierra does the trick for many of the Mexican dishes I miss. I have a good repertoire of homemade Cajun. Still, nowhere in the Valley, including my own kitchen, thoroughly scratches the itch for Texas specialties few New Englanders have even heard of (Ro-Tel queso dip, anyone? Kolaches? Pralines?).
I've got a couple of cookbooks that help mitigate the hunger pangs: the irreplaceable Texas Home Cooking by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison, and Texas Cowboy Cooking by Tom Perini. But there's a recent volume that's getting all my attention now. It's called The Homesick Texan Cookbook, by Lisa Fain, a fellow Texan expatriate living in New York City.
Fain does a great job of making Texas food accessible. When I was a kid, I didn't really know what mysterious processes resulted in high-flown items like sausage balls (the humble name can't begin to describe their brilliance), tomatillo salsa or that Southern staple, biscuits. I just knew, as my grandmother liked to say, they'd "eat good."
Fain demystifies such stuff with straightforward, usually surprisingly easy recipes. This is, after all, home cooking, not haut cuisine. Her book, replete with mouth-watering pictures, has plenty of that downhome voice common to Southern cookbooks—many an introduction to a dish is of the "I remember when Aunt Judy would make..." variety, and provides that dose of authenticity many a reader will crave.
If, on the other hand, it's just proper Texas food you're looking for, you'll find, in recipe after recipe, the ring of truth. In reality, many a Texas recipe has endless variations, and the version that's got currency in a family is considered "right." (My family is still fond of the custard pecan pie variation pioneered by an adventurous aunt.) Fain has the wisdom to admit that she's not necessarily "right," and she has the confidence and know-how to discuss how she's tinkered with tradition to come up with a particularly good way of making a dish. Many of the recipes offer alternative ingredients or methods, and her welcome additions to standard recipes are usually minor and artful, things like adding a touch of cumin or jalapeño juice. Additions or no, items like redeye gravy and chicken fried steak are great representatives of the food you're likely to get at a cafe in the Lone Star State.
Fain does draw some bright lines she's unwilling to cross: in true Texas style, she believes that chili can only be ruined by the addition of beans (if you insist on beans, she says to serve them on the side). It's all about the dried chiles and meat, and everything else is but a minor player in the supporting cast.
Beyond mere experimentation, Fain offers some of her own inventions that are so inviting they've already made their way onto my list of dishes to cook as soon as possible—things like a green chile chowder and a savory tomato cobbler.
Though there's plenty to miss about the remarkably varied cuisine of Texas—it ranges from the Mexican food of El Paso to the cowboy chow of central and west Texas and the Cajun-tinged creations of the eastern Gulf coast—a perusal of The Homesick Texan reveals that Achilles heel of all Southern cooking, the reliance on meat, saturated fat and frying. Like a lot of folks, I've been in the Valley long enough to prefer marinated tempeh to a slab of grilled beef. Fain doesn't say a lot about this factor—her clearly stated target audience isn't likely to eschew meat—but she nonetheless provides plenty of options among the 150 recipes that will appeal to vegetarians and those who want to avoid the worst excesses of traditional fare. Her side dishes include lots of items that would (in true Texas style) easily serve as main dishes, things like poblano mac and cheese and Tex-Mex squash casserole, and the seafood choices and bean dishes are plentiful.
If you're a non-Texan, The Homesick Texan will easily offer you a taste of just what it is that we expatriates truly miss about our unique corner of the world. And for Texans at-large, it deserves an honored spot in the canon of necessary cookbooks.?

STAFF WRITER | January 26,2013BENNINGTON A 15-year-old high school student is facing a felony charge of sexual assault and facing three years to life in prison after police said he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl last year.
Adelbert G. Capen, 15, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to the charge in Bennington criminal court Thursday. He was released without bail but ordered not to be alone with females younger than 18.
In an affidavit, Detective Trooper Scott Dunlap of the Vermont State Police said he was contacted by a supervisor with the Vermont Department for Children and Families. The parents of a 14-year-old girl said they had learned she had sex with a boy in the summer of 2012 through the girls postings on a social network website.
A friend to whom the girl reported the sexual contact told the girl she believed it was rape because the girl had told Capen no.
The girl was interviewed by Dunlap and Kyle Hoover, an investigator with the Department for Children and Families, on Dec. 6.
She told the investigators she and Capen had sexual contact three or four times consensually, but she said the first time they had sex, she had told him to stop at least twice. According to the girl, she had to push Capen away to stop the sexual contact.
The girl told Dunlap that she didnt think what happened was bad until she told friends about it who told her that she had been raped. She said she understood that to mean this guy did something to her that she did not want to do, but he did it anyway.
Dunlap and Hoover interviewed Capen on Jan. 9 at his home with his mother and family friends present.
According to the affidavit, Capen admitted he had sexual contact with the girl and continued even after she said no at least twice.
Dunlap said Capen said he hadnt stopped because he was in the moment but later said if he could take that day back, then he would have.
The affidavit said both Capen and the girl were ninth-graders at Mount Anthony Union High School. Judge Cortland Corsones told Capen that even if he had contact with fellow students in a classroom, a teacher had to be present.
A competency and sanity evaluation of Capen was ordered by the court.

Reformed drug addict sentenced to jail
A 29-year-old man from Hamrun has been sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment and fined €5000 after he was found guilty of being in possession of ecstasy back in 2008.
James Tabone, who successfully completed a drug rehabilitation programme, was also found guilty of trafficking ecstasy.
During a raid conducted by the police at the accused's home, 252 pills and a cannabis resin were discovered hidden in his electricity meter. He later admitted that the cannabis resin, which amounted to €23, was for his personal use.
Regarding the ecstasy pills, he said he was keeping them safe for a particular individual.
Mike Orland from Sedqa testified in court that the man successfully completed the drug rehabilitation programme and is now a changed man and father.
Magistrate Miriam Hayman said that as a result of his successful completion of the programme, the accused would not be punished on having completed the crime during a suspending sentence. However, Magistrate Hayman sentenced the accused on account of his accusations relating to drug trafficking and sentenced him to two and a half years imprisonment and fined him €5000.
Inspector Johann Fenech prosecuted
