Theater director Michael John Garcés knows that people might have certain preconceptions about a play whose title can't be uttered in polite company (or in a family newspaper, for that matter).
But he trusts that intelligent theatergoers will be able to get past a name – even one as provocative as "The Mother****** With the Hat."
Stephen Adly Guirgis' raw-edged urban comedy, which caused a stir and grabbed six Tony nominations in its Broadway debut last year, makes its local premiere Jan. 11 on South Coast Repertory's Julianne Argyros Stage after a week of previews. Garcés is directing the production.
"This play is essentially telling a story about people grappling with pretty fundamental issues of trust and love and addiction, things that transcend class and our social differences," said Garcés, artistic director of L.A.'s Cornerstone Theater Company. "I imagine many people in our audience will be of a different socioeconomic standing than the characters in the play. But there's still plenty for people to identify with."
The play concerns a former drug dealer, Jackie, who has recently been released from prison.
Jackie finds a hat in the apartment of his girlfriend, Veronica, and immediately realizes that it isn't his. Needless to say, he's upset. Jackie relies on Ralph, his sponsor, for help and advice; he turns out to be a less-than-ideal source of solid counsel.
Jackie also turns to more time-honored means of settling scores: a handgun. The first thing he shoots is the hat.
If you haven't already guessed, this is a story full of liars and losers, hustlers' spiels and spurned lovers' hurtful tirades, and the world that Guirgis' play strips bare isn't pretty.
It's also blackly hilarious.
"I want to say to people that above all, this play is really funny," Garcés said. "A lot of the things that happen in the story are really unvarnished, sometimes shocking. But the humor provides a real doorway for the audience to look through and see who these characters really are."
"'Hat' is a sort of contemporary, scabrous variation on 'The Honeymooners,' that classic sitcom about blue-collar friends and spouses getting on one another's nerves," wrote The New York Times' Ben Brantley in his review of the Broadway staging. "Irritation can reach extra-incendiary levels when it's fueled by substances that Ralph Kramden had probably never heard of, like crack cocaine."
Guirgis is a member and co-artistic director of New York City's LAByrinth Theater Company. The son of an Egyptian father and an Irish American mother, he grew up in Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Guirgis found success writing for gritty network TV and cable dramas such as "NYPD Blue" and "The Sopranos," but unlike many playwrights who are lured away by the camera, he has remained active and successful on stages throughout the U.S. and abroad.
His plays' titles reveal that the themes, characters and locales of "Hat" are fixations: "Our Lady of 121st Street," "Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train," "Dominica the Fat Ugly Ho."

Manitou tests warning sirens as flood season approaches
Updated On: Jun 06 2014 10:52:08 AM CDT
Loud sirens blasted all through Manitou Springs Thursday afternoon (6/5/14) as law enforcement officers tested its flash flood warning system.
Manitou Springs Police Chief Joe Ribeiro says the sirens are a last resort signaling a potential flood is just minutes away.
"The flood siren is our last ditch effort," Ribeiro said. "When the siren is going that's a message is to seek higher ground immediately and that a flood is imminent."
Ribeiro remembers last year when the sirens went off some people rushed to Fountain Creek instead of playing it safe and leaving the area. Residents and business owners say they are grateful for this test.

|Okay, my PB just told me that I'm on the schedule for Thursday or Friday and I'm in a panic!
I thought I wanted PebbleTec Blue Lagoon, until I went and saw a Blue Lagoon pool and it looked too green for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: My New Blue Pool Blog
Follow-Up Postings:
|Pull the plug on it! Your PB may hate you for bumping back the schedule, but this is a biggie. For a 15-20 yr product, you dont want to "hope it turns out ok".
I never let my clients move forward without seeing a pool with their selection first.
Make sure you love it.
BTW, most colors in the "sheen" have companion colors in the "tec", so aggregate size shouldnt be an issue if you like the color.

|We went with Blue Lagoon and I have absolutely loved it. My pool has never looked green at all, but in subdued light is is a little dull and a bit grayish. In bright light it is crystal blue and just sparkles. I'll add a link below to another person inquiring about it and I posted some pics of mine. Good luck which ever you decide.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blue Lagoon
|stonesmama- if my pool turns out like yours, it will be perfect.
It is just so difficult to say how a color is going to look with different sun angles, cages, east or west facing, etc.
Apparently there aren't any Blue Lagoon pools in my neighborhood. But I went to stand in a Tahoe Blue (Tec) and I'm sure I like the feel of the Tec best. It was in a cage and north-facing in the morning and was dark. Just a hint of emerald green in the deep end sun.
|There are two guys out on the street mixing the goop in the truck, one guy handling the hose spraying, and six guys trowelling.
The color of the goop is pretty awful, but it's blue! Can't wait to see pebbles....

|Be sure and post a picture. I hope you like it.
|There's a green picture in the "St Pete Pool Done Almost" thread, and a link to my blog that has lots and lots of pictures.
It's blue now!

Supernatural Review: Houndedby Sean McKenna at . Comments
Supernatural Season 8 has stumbled a bit trying to find its footing, and while the flashback stuff was interesting for a while, I'm really liking the whole "knowledge is power" aspect that's recently been at the forefront.
Sure, I guess having a variety of tablets - and now the introduction of Men of Letters - followed by the need to complete God's three trials to close the gates of Hell sounds like a lot. There's even a real potential to spread the show too thin with everything that's going on, something I think that happened to Supernatural Season 7.
Yet, with "As Time Goes By" and "Everybody Hates Hitler" really embarking Sam and Dean on a journey with a purpose, "Trial and Error" was a nice follow up that continued on that larger mythology path.
What really comes down to it, though, is the fact that for the most part, Sam and Dean are on good terms. They aren't overly upset with each other. They aren't running away. They're not moody.
The whole Men of Letters and the lair of supernatural info has given Sam a true calling, a definite background that's right up his alley. He's in tune with what's going on and he's determined to see the job through.
Dean now has a sense of home, something he's never really had before. Oh, and memory foam. Plus, it turns out, when he's nesting, he's a fantastic Top Chef cook.
Overall, it's nice to see that continuation of the brothers on the same side, working together in relative harmony. And now, finally, Kevin discovered how to close the Gates of Hell. Surprise, surprise, there's some special trials involved before that giant task can be done.
The first trial involved killing a hell hound and bathing in its blood. Gross, but obviously just another day for the Winchester brothers.
It's a great call back to demon deals and I was curious how they were going to find one, let alone see a hell hound.
I always thought that the real reason we never got to see the hell hounds before was because of budgetary reasons, which was fine. Having invisible dogs followed by major blood splatter worked.
Yet, turning Sam and Dean into mini Clark Kent's with their holy fire glasses was a neat trick that allowed us to see what those hell hounds looked like. I liked seeing the blue tinted creatures for a few moments and it never felt like their scariness was hindered or ruined because we did get to see them.
I was disappointed, however, that Crowley never made an appearance alongside his dogs. I mean, he did happen to be the demon that was there 10 years ago for the oil rich family. So, why wasn't he there? It's not like he's never going to figure out what Sam and Dean are up to. Was it just simply to connect Crowley to the dog that was going to be used?
At the same time, I was really pleased with the brothers' conversations with each other.
I was a bit skeptical of Dean throwing out the "stay safe Sammy" and "this is my job" comments because it has already been done. I know, it's how Dean thinks because he is the big brother, but I was simply afraid it was Supernatural pulling a tired Dean feeling out because they needed something for the brothers to argue about.
Even with Dean wanting Sam to have that normal life, and fighting tooth and nail to do so by taking on the trials alone, I understood his view.
But it was Sam telling Dean that there could be a light at the end of the tunnel for both of them that spun it all around. Rather than working alone, the two can work together to beat the evil.
After all, that's how they survived the hell hound attack this go around with Sam jumping in to save his brother.
Now, I'm sure some might feel that once again Sam is getting to do the super power stuff (his psychic kid powers, demon blood, etc), but I don't mind, especially because Sam is gung ho about hunting again.
Really, if the brothers stick to working together, that works for me.
It does make me wonder about the other trials and what will happen when all three are complete. There's no way Crowley is going to go down without a fight and there's got to be some sort of consequence or fine print that goes along with the trials.
I think it's a fun direction that adds to the already heavy layer of info based power.
Now, was the oil family a bit campy for the episode? Yes. Can you believe Dean turned down sex? No, even if it was funny how flustered he got when Ellie was coming on to him. But all in all, the hour was a good solid follow up that has Supernatural focused on a positive path with a Sam and Dean Winchester that we know, love and are excited to watch both fight the bad guys.

I'd love for sam to get his psychic powers back.
SPN - Renewed for Season 9......Awesome news!!!!!
The season started out a little slow, but I'm really liking it now. Last night was probably the best episode of the season. I enjoyed all the wonderfulness mixed together - because of the new director?? Either way, keep on the path guys, it looks great!
Awesome episode. I hadn't enjoyed an episode so much in a long time, though the last 3 were good too.
I was kinda hoping for Dean to do the trials, but I'm not sad at how it worked. Sam and Dean had a very meaningful conversation charged with emotion and that almost felt like old seasons. I loooveee those two guys! And the hellhounds were great! I hope the rest of the season follows this path.
Maybe it's just me, but last nights ep was the first one in a long time I heard Dean call Sam Sammy.
Glad we finally got to see what the Hellhounds actually look like. I know The CW can't afford top line special effects, but the hounds still looked scary. As for the 3 tasks, Sam was right. Dean was too fatalistic. Too much of a "I'm going out in a blaze of glory" mindset. Sam is as determined as Dean is to close the Gates of Hell, but he doesn't want to die in the process. If Sam hadn't jumped in, the Hellhound would have killed Dean. I'm glad Dean realized Sam was right and turned the tasks over to him.
Dean's "I'm nesting" has got to go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Dean quotes of all time. And it took 8 seasons to find out what a great cook he is. lol He's totally happy with the Batcave and Sam's in geek heaven. Kevin looks like he's been hit by a train, and as hard as he's been pushing himself, maybe he did have a mini-stroke. Looking at the tablets through his eyes, we can see how blurry and out of focus they are. There are moments of clarity where he can read them, but a great deal of the time they are blurry. And I don't think it's Kevins eyes. I think it's just the way the tablets are.
What a great episode! This season is geting better and better. I loved Dean and Sam´s speches, and they talked and finally told each other things that they were so much needed. Finally, they´re doing it right.
And i can´t wait for next episodes and Castiel return. Im sure good things wait us ahead.
There was no reason for Crowley to show up in this episode. It would've been nice (always is, I love Crowley!), but it wasn't necessary. I swore I was gonna be mad if Sam did the trials instead of Dean but the way they pulled it off actually really gave me a turn around on it. If Dean was doing the trials, it really would be a suicide mission so Sam taking on the trials will hopefully save them both. And hopefully Dean will find plot elsewhere (helping that one angel guy, for instance. What's his name again? It's been awhile.) Also, Dean turning down sex with Ellie in this episode made total sense. He was there to kill a hellhound, not score. That's called being a pro. lol Plus he's been sexually awkward all season.
I don't mind episodes being "predictable" as Supernatural has never been a "twist at the end" kind of series. Seriously, go back and watch it, there's never really a "Who done it" feel to the show because it's not a proceedural cop show--thank God.
As for Dean turning down sex? That is all part of the biggest worm queer-bait ever produced by a show. This whole season has been rife with subtext and suggestiveness that can ALL be explained away with non-homoerotic reasons. Do I think the CW/writers will go through with allowing a hyper-masculine hero and star of the show have an alternative sexuality? Chances are slim to none. Which makes me wonder if they'll lead up to it and then kill Cas off so they don't actually have to deal with it.

Moonlight and red roses highlight Provena Gala
By Betty Brown For The Courier-News December 3, 2010 3:36PM
Pictured at the Elgin Area Historical Society Gala Event held Nov. 6 at the Heritage Ballroom of Elgin City Centre are (l – r) David Nelson, Program Director and Chairman of this 50th year special event, his wife Deloris and guest performer Joe Wiegand, who presented his one man theater show of our 26th President Theodore Roosevelt.
Updated: April 19, 2011 5:23AM
There was "Moonlight and Roses" at the Stonegate Banquet Center for this year's annual Provena Saint Joseph Hospital Auxiliary Benefit Gala held Oct. 23. The fundraising event was highlighted by the abundant red roses as centerpieces, on the podium and given to each person when they purchased raffle tickets.
Auxiliary President Pat Winesburg of Huntley recognized the past Gala chairmen for their successful events that benefited the hospital over the past 30 years. In attendance were past chairmen Sharon Sauceda, Kathy Hannell, Vera Helm, Bob and Angela Allanson, Mary Stanley, Carol Boytor, Katie Hoffmann, Christine Rejman, Carri Laird, Nancy Adee, Ann Gerardo and Magda Nelson.
Hospital President/CEO Steve Scogna welcomed the guests and thanked the Auxiliary for the tremendous work they do all year within the hospital and in fundraising for the hospital. He also welcomed the hospital leadership and staff to the event, along with representatives from Provena Health.
Dr. H. Jae Ihm received the Vikram Shah Award from Provena Medical Staff President Dr. Cynthia Steimle. This award is given each year by the medical staff to recognize a physician who emulates the late Dr. Vikram Shah. Ihm's many acts of kindness have been done quietly, but have not gone unnoticed. He was recognized for his dedication and compassion for patients, friends, staff, colleagues and his community.
A-Tec Ambulance received the Auxiliary DOVE Award for its gift of time, talent and treasure to the Auxiliary, the hospital and the community. In attendance from A-Tec was the leadership team of this Elgin based company: Ralph Troeger, Rita Troeger, Dick Krause, David Davis and Bill Mears.
Before dessert was served the dance floor was filled with guests dancing to the music of The Night Shift Orchestra, such as hospital board members Jeff Rifken and his wife Sandy, Pat and Dan Spekowski and Art and Sharon Sauceda. Other guests included Dr. Jean Bowen and husband Gary, Donna and Roger Burnidge, Merrie and John Derderian, Sandy and Fred Imming, Leo and Marilyn Nelson, Jack and Marlene Shales and Don and Pat Laird made the event a family affair, attending with their children and spouses.
All proceeds from the Gala will benefit the hospital's Comprehensive Rehab Unit. The unit is currently being renovated, creating private rooms with enlarged bathrooms. Patients and staff are excited about the "new look" on the hospital's fourth and fifth floors.
Elgin Area Historical Society celebrates first gala
Some 150 guests from the area were in attendance at the Heritage Ballroom in Elgin on Nov. 6 as the Elgin Area Historical Society Celebrated its first ever gala. Guests enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvres while participating in the silent auction donated by Marge Row. Liz Marston, museum director, was responsible for catering.
"The event and evening was a huge success. In fact we met all our goals," were the comments of David Nelson, chair. "We even got some new members for this Historical Society."
Joe Wiegand (as President Theodore Roosevelt) brought along a teddy bear, which was won by Maury Dyer, vice president of the Historical Society. While here in our city, Mr. T.R. visited students at Larsen and Ellis Middle Schools who were thrilled when he made a personal appearance.
If you would like to be a part of the Elgin Area Historical Society, call 847-742-4248.

Thoratec's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We caution you that these statements are only predictions and that actual results may differ materially. We also alert you to the risks contained in the documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as our annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. We do not undertake any obligation to update or correct any forward-looking statements. Gary?
Gerhard F. Burbach
Thank you, Taylor, and good afternoon. 2011 was another exciting year for Thoratec including solid financial performance, continued development of the market for mechanical circulatory support, the acquisition of the CentriMag and PediMag franchise from Levitronix, and important advances in our broad product pipeline.
Our fourth quarter performance reflects strong momentum for the company as we enter 2012, and strategically, I'm very pleased with the company's positioning for this year and beyond.With HeartMate II, CentriMag and PVAD, Thoratec offers proven market leading solutions for the full range of mechanical circulatory support needs. In the coming years, we are planning to aggressively grow the market with these flagship products, while at the same time supplementing our core product portfolio with potential breakthrough technological advances, such as our fully magnetically levitated HeartMate III pump platform, our fully implantable LVAD system, and our percutaneous heart pump. Supporting all of these efforts is the dedicated team at Thoratec in which we've been investing heavily, and which we believe provides an unrivaled foundation to serve and support the broader mechanical circulatory support market. I'm proud of the Thoratec's success in 2011, but I'm even more enthusiastic about the opportunity ahead as we seek to continue to penetrate the large addressable population of heart failure patients, advance new technologies and extend our market leadership position. On today's call, I'll provide highlights of the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011. And in the process, provide some additional operating metrics for our business. I'll then focus on our key initiatives and outlook for 2012.

Mariah Carey is having a rebirth of some sort. With her brand new album, her record-breaking 18th No. 1 Billboard hit, her hot new body, and her appearance on American Idol, it makes sense that she should have a new boyfriend to go along with all this goodness.
According to PerezHilton.com, Mimi does have a new guy -- and his name is Nick Cannon! Perez says that Mariah and Nick have been getting very cozy lately and that they flew to Vegas last night, together, on a private jet. When the new couple got to Sin City, they headed over to Prive, where they celebrated rapper (and Mariah BFF) Da Brat's birthday.
Nick was previously engaged to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, but that didn't work out so well. Do you think Mims and Nick make a good couple?

Japanese students travel 5,700 miles to volunteer in Pickering Garden
August 7, 2012
The Pickering Garden had some unique visitors July 27, more than 20 students from Okinawa, Japan.
The students are part of a summer homestay program through Cultural Homestay International. They will spend one month with host families exploring the Puget Sound area. On their third day, they volunteered at the Pickering Garden with Falaah Jones, garden coordinator from Seattle Tilth. It was the students' first visit to the United States.
Risa Kamiya and Showei Mori said they like the forest, trees and mountains covered with snow, something they have never seen before. Host families have one or two students in their home at a time.
"Everyone learns," tour coordinator Cathy Kramer said. "It's a great opportunity."
The Japanese students didn't know each other before the trip but Kramer said they made friends very quickly. Each day, the students have three-hour classes to learn about English and culture.

Press Editorial
April 17, 2012
Give a nod to planet Earth
Arbor Day is April 21, followed by Earth Day on April 22. Both are an equal opportunity to show appreciation for the third rock from the sun.
The city Parks & Recreation Department will plant 150 trees along Issaquah Creek on Saturday in honor of Arbor Day. Just last week, the city earned Tree City USA status for the 19th year.
Earth Day gets a jumpstart in Issaquah on Thursday when Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon fry are released into Laughing Jacobs Creek. Public tours are available this weekend to see what happens to unrecycled garbage at the Cedar Hills Landfill in south Issaquah. Also south of the city limits, volunteers will mulch and weed the Log Cabin Natural Area along Issaquah Creek. Volunteers will do back-country trail work on Cougar Mountain.

Microsoft: HD remakes not a priority unless they can "provide real value to the customer"
Sad to say, time has not been kind to many old-school original Xbox titles. Once on the very bleeding edge of graphical fidelity, they're now more likely to make your eyes bleed than anything else. But hey, that's what HD remakes are for, right? Wrong, says Microsoft.31

I grew up in North Platte and after graduation shipped off for boot camp with the intention never to return.
After a stint in the military, I went to college in Kansas City for an electronics degree. I then moved to Lincoln and got a job as an installation tech, traveling all across the this great land, a new city about every 2-3 weeks. It gave me a great chance to see other communities and how they work.
I finally ended up in San Diego, living the beach life and working on antennas for the Navy as a civilian contractor.
I wanted a house, dogs and a garden, but knew those were not within my means out there. So I convinced my wife to move back to my hometown, a place where anyones dreams can come true, but it takes hard work.
I decided to run for office to bring some new ideas and simple solutions to issues that come before the council. I will be very diligent in studying and getting the facts of an issue before casting a vote, even if it means tabling it and asking the public for their input. Making decisions for the voter is a great responsibility, one that should never by rushed, but in the past has. I want to insist on fairness and an even playing field for all of the city.
In conclusion, I feel I would make a good city councilman because I am way too stubborn to be coerced or swayed against my beliefs.
I promise to do what is in the best interest of all North Platte citizens.
By City Council Candidate Josh Welden, Ward 1
Candidates for public office are invited to write 350 words to the Bulletin about their qualifications. Be ready to vote. The election is Nov. 6.

So you want to know how to play table tennis? Well, you've come to the right place.
Hi, I'm Ben and this is my site. On this page I'll be taking you through the technical process of learning how to play table tennis. This is the same development process I use with my own players and is split into levels based on your ability. Go through each step and you'll be a proficient table tennis player in no time.
You can also find this page by visiting www.howtoplaytabletennis.com!
Level 1 – The Basics
The emphasis in Level 1 is developing solid foundations that can be built upon later. It is important that you have a correct grip and ready position as these will be assumed in all later stages. The drive and push shots are also very important to learn first as they will form the basis for future shots such as the topspin, open-up, touch, dig etc. You should be able to play 100, in a row, without a mistake.
Before diving into any of the four shots in this stage you might like to read my post The Four Basic Table Tennis Strokes. It will give you a good introduction and understanding of the principles behind each shot. So good luck and I look forward to seeing you in Level 2.
1.1 Grip
1.3 Forehand Drive
1.4 Backhand Drive
1.5 Forehand Push
1.6 Backhand Push
Level 2 – Regular Movement 1
Level 2 gives you plenty of opportunities to practice your basic strokes, while working on your basic footwork, with the introduction of some regular movement drills. Most drills (except X's & H's) will have one player moving and one player controlling, although at this stage both players will be playing a drive. It's important that you have developed accuracy and consistency in Level 1 before beginning these drills.
Before you begin Level 2 I recommend you read my post all about movement and footwork in table tennis. It contains some advice that's applicable to all table tennis footwork drills. Keep doing these six drills until you can regularly make 50 strokes without a mistake, then head on to Level 3!
2.1 Two Backhands, Two Forehands
2.2 One Backhand, One Forehand
2.3 Backhand, Middle, Backhand, Wide
2.4 X's & H's
2.5 FH Wide, FH Middle
2.6 4-Point FH
Level 3 – Intermediate Strokes 1
3.4 Backhand Topspin
3.5 Forehand Open-Up
3.6 Backhand Open-Up

Two years have passed since Prince William and Kate Middleton were married at Westminster Abbey in London–but the low-key couple won't be marking their anniversary in a similarly lavish way.
In fact, they didn't even spend a good portion of the day together. In honor of Children's Hospice Week, the Duchess, 31, who is expecting the couple's first child in July, visited Naomi House, an organization that provides support to children with terminal conditions and their families. After touring the facility, she enjoyed a tea party with some of Naomi House's children and their families, where she watched a musical performance by a boy whose brother died after receiving care at Naomi House.

Meanwhile, Prince William, 30, who is working today on his search and rescue duties, undoubtedly has plans for his wife this evening, as the couple will celebrate their special day together at home, in private.
Their home is becoming a busier place these days, as the couple has begun preparing for their baby. This weekend, Middleton, who has said that her friends "keep texting me names," visited the posh baby boutique Blue Almonds with her mother. Creating a family has always been something that Will and Kate have spoken openly about wanting a family: "It's very important to me," Middleton has said.

triptych | tri-college digital library
Philadelphia, 7 mo. 12 1883
My Darling wife, I stayed out to meeting this morning and on my arrival at this office at noon found thy telegram and Algie's letter awaiting me. Dear little boy I am very glad to hear he is better and it was very thoughtful and kind of thee dearest to telegraph. We are going along very nicely at home. Tom and Alf and I had dinner at 7 o'clock last night and it was very nice. We had fricasseed chicken, potato peas and [beets?] and then raspberries for dessert and tea was on the side board and we each took a cup at the close of the meal. We then adjourned to the piazza at about 8:15.

When we last left Homeland, Claire Danes' Carrie Mathison was a disgraced CIA operations officer so emotionally damaged that she was going One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with shock treatments excuse me, ''electroconvulsive therapy.'' And Damian Lewis' Nicholas Brody was a traitorous former Marine POW who had nearly completed a suicide mission that would have blown him up along with some of the government's highest officials.
As the new season begins, Carrie has, in her sister's words, ''finally gotten to a good place.'' She's living with her family, she's employed in a new job, she's making vegetable lasagna from edibles picked from the family garden. She seems as close to being happy as anyone this intense and intelligent can be. But then she's pulled back into the CIA's hugger-mugger, reuniting her with her mentor-handler, Mandy Patinkin's Saul Berenson. It turns out that one of her old ''assets,'' a Middle Eastern woman with ties to the series' arch-terrorist, Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban), has come forward with important intelligence she will share only with Carrie. Thus, our neurotic heroine is recruited for one more mission, and Danes shows you with every blink of her wide eyes, every line reading that's suffused with tamped-down emotion how conflicted she is about this.
As for Brody, he too has benefited from the series' six-month time jump. Now a congressman, he's approached by Jamey Sheridan's Vice President Walden about joining his team for a presidential run. Vice President Brody has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Brody's wife, Jessica (Morena Baccarin), is delighted, and he knows this move will get him one giant step closer to fulfilling the promise he made to Abu Nazir: that he'll funnel U.S. secrets to this U.S. enemy.
One key line is almost tossed away in the devilishly constructed series. Carrie tells her family, ''I trust Saul; he'll be there to hold my hand.'' A powerful Homeland theme is not only the war looming out in the world but also the one raging within Carrie a woman with immense talent, yet whose emotional fragility renders her prone to seeking the care and protection of men like Saul as well as Brody, with whom she became intimate last season. Similarly, Brody is a superb soldier who has been broken spiritually; he's at once tremendously shrewd and scarily vulnerable. It's the suspense these two leads endure a suspense Homeland dramatizes in a swift, sure manner and then transfers to the viewer that makes this show so unnervingly terrific. A-

In Arkham Horror, are there any restrictions on when spells can be cast?
My specific question is about the spell 'Find Gate', it reads:
Movement: Cast and exhaust to immediately return to Arkham from an Other World.
Can I, for example, cast this immediately after being drawn through a gate during the Arkham Encounters phase? This would effectively skip the Other World Encounter that is about to happen this turn, in addition to the one that would happen next turn.

Top Local Tips for Ponta Delgada
Rent a car In my opinion, the best way to visit the island of Sao Miguel is to rent a car, because, with a car, you can visit everything you want at your rythm and as you want.
Whale watching Absolute must! We saw Sperm Whales, Pilot nosed dolphins and common dolphins - it is an amazing experience. We went with Futurismo on the marina for 2 trips and were not disappointed. Its 47 Euros for 3 hours including a briefing session at the beginning.
Renting in car in the Azors Many guide books will discourage travelers from renting a car in the Azores. I spend a week in Ponta Delgada in February 2008 and found just the opposite. Car rentals were very inexpensive, US $34 a pay with unlimited milage and insurance. Roads were well maintained and several were multi-lane divided. Traffice, outside the cities, was light and the views spectacular. Do rent a car and get out and see the lvoely island!

Quoted from ruthiegirl
I asked a similar question a few months (maybe a year?) ago, and it turns out that my problems basically went away when I resumed eating red meat more often. Not that I'm suggesting an A eat more red meat, but I just wanted to point out the dietary connection: I didn't need any special anti-depression supplements when I was eating enough of the right foods.I'm not sure which foods are "superfoods" for As, but my guess is that there's something lacking in your friend's diet that would boost her mood. It's not even so much about avoiding the avoids as it is about including enough of the good stuff.

So if he drugs don't work or work well but with bad side effects, then go the herbal way, and it works, but you need to go the whole way with them and give them a good try, but remember these things take up to 8 weeks to get to full power, so you need to be on an 12 week trial, but just like drugs its a mix and match affair to find the right mix.

There should eventually be a new drug coming called AVEED. This used to be Nebido. My husband was on the clinical
and I cired when they took him off of it. 1 shot every 3 months. Worked miracles! One thing to remember, if you don't take your medicine, you not only will have no sex drive, but it effects your mood also. Please do not forget your wife!!! She is suffering right along with you. I can't tell you how many times I cried because my husband isn't "normal"!!

I have also been wearing briefs instead of boxers lately because I feel that the less I am flopping around, the less opportunity I have to stimulate whatever is inside their that starts buzzing. But more than anything else, I have to say the best advice I can
is to just do your best to keep your mind off of it. This is the only thing I have found that seemed to make the buzzing decrease. Find activities to consume your attention.

Do you have your blood results at hand? I would be interested in evaluating them and will be able to
some extra advice. Are you testicles normal size 1.5/2inches in length? Have you suffered any testicular atrophy at all (shrinkage)? HCG is an LH analogue so it 'emulates' (though in a more potent form) the LH signals sent from your piturity gland. Most guy's that suffer from secondary hypogonadism find that HCG daily is enough to support normal testosterone levels and function.

It happens every 3 years and its a fantastic route, great cake and loads of other food as well. Somewhere I have a route description but the memories include a punishing climb out of Lewes over a golf course, (don't be tempted to have pint in the real ale pub first) crossing Wiilingdon Hill towards East Dean walking towards the sea with the sun beginning to set - the section along the 7 Sisters to Cuckmere Haven was if anything even better- and care is needed crossing the railway at Southease in the dark. Just enter - you will get a route description in plenty of time if you want to recce - I just turned up on the day.
On the LDWA Hundred - and other walks/runs of 50 miles or more - nausea and vomiting is a common problem. Ken Falconer in his "Survivor's guide to 100s and other long walks" http://www.ldwa.org.uk/library/hundredsurvival/hundredsurvival.php recommends Bovril. Other suggestions are flat cola - a very common remedy, and milk. A different approach suggests that the nausea is a version of motion sickness - caused or worsened at night by the bobbing up and down of the light from a head torch. Personally I find that removing the head torch and holding it like a conventional torch is helpful!
Two challenge walks/ runs over the weekend of the 21st /22nd July 2012 as a tribute to foundation of the Wenlock Olympian Games in 1850 and in celebration of their direct contribution to the birth of the modern Olympic Games. The WOW 100 miles event has a limit of 40 hr and will follow a figure of eight route based on the Priory Hall, Much Wenlock (GR SJ 624 001) starting 08.00 on Saturday. The WOW 50 miles event has a limit of 20 hr and follows the first loop of the 100, starting 10.00 Saturday. Full feeding and comfort facilities at the event centre, properly supplemented in halls at the halfway points on both loops. Outside checkpoints between the halls. Organised by Marches LDWA

text: Dishwasher no water during wash/rinse cycles Alan R. • Little Rock, AR • June 12, 2014 Appliance: KitchenAid Undercounter Dishwasher KUDE60HXSS1 My Repair & Advice Following some trouble shooting tips on Appliance Parts Pros and some other information, I determined it was very likely a bad water inlet valve. Replacing the valve was a fairly simple and straight-forward repair. APP had good directions and instructions on this site. I also was able to review a video I found (on another site) that really showed how simple the repair was. After turning off the power and water supply, and removing the lower cover on the dishwasher, it really was as simple as unscrewing the "water hose" type supply line, unscrewing two screws (which were right on the front of the bracket/frame), then removing the old valve, removing one hose clamp and hose, and unplugging it. Replacing the new valve was just the reverse and very simple. Checked for leaks prior to putting the cover back on. Good trouble shooting advice from Appliance Parts Pros, great price, part was in-stock, and quick shipping! Very pleased with APP. More importantly, as Daddy of 3-year old triplets, dishwasher is WORKING again, and Mommy is HAPPY! Was this review helpful to you?

- Epidermis usually ciliated at least in part, provided with rhabdoids (minute rodlike structures); body unsegmented; gut present except in order Acoela; life cycle simple; mostly free-living, some ectocommensal, endocommensal ( i.e., living, respectively, outside or inside another organism without harming it), or parasitic; about 3,000 species.
- Class Monogenea
- Oral sucker lacking or weakly developed; posterior end with large posterior adhesive disk (opisthaptor) usually provided with hooks; excretory pores paired, anterior and dorsal; parasites of the skin and other superficial locations, especially on the gills of fish; life cycle simple, no alternation of hosts; about 1,100 species.
- Class Cestoda (tapeworms)
- Elongated endoparasites with alimentary canal lacking; epidermis modified for absorption and secretion; usually divided into segments (proglottids); adhesive organs limited to anterior end; except in Cestodaria, adult stages almost entirely parasites of vertebrates; life cycles complicated with 1 or more intermediate hosts; about 3,500 species.
- Subclass Cestodaria
- Unsegmented tapeworms containing 1 set of genitalia; parasites of the body cavity or intestine of annelid worms or fish; about 105 species.
- Subclass Eucestoda
- Polyzoic tapeworms with scolex (head) of varying structure; body usually with distinct external segmentation; parasitic in intestine of vertebrates. Known commonly as the "true" tapeworms; well more than 3,000 species.
- Class Trematoda (flukes)
- Ectoparasites or endoparasites; no ciliated epidermis; body undivided; adhesive organs well-developed; life cycles generally complex with 2 or more hosts; about 11,000 species.
- Subclass Aspidogastrea
- Oral sucker absent; main adhesive organ occupying almost the entire ventral surface, consists of suckerlets arranged in rows; excretory pore single and posterior; endoparasites of vertebrates, mollusks, and crustaceans; about 35 species.
- Subclass Digenea
- Oral and ventral suckers generally well-developed; development involves at least 1 intermediate host; usually endoparasites of vertebrates; about 9,000 species.
Critical appraisal
There is disagreement on many aspects of the taxonomy of Platyhelminthes, especially regarding class divisions. For example, some authorities consider Monogenea to be a subclass within the class Trematoda.

I agree with Rich. If you are wanting to stick around with a traditional camber board, this board is the one for it all, hands down. Lots of pop, yet flex allows for nice creamy butters, landings are soft and controlled, edges nice for hard slashes and surflike turns.
