Your Pop Alternative Source
This was my first time in Canada and it was wonderful. Getting to see all the Cherrytree talent on one stage was an amazing experience and worth the trip. I knew that with an all Cherrytree roster on a single tour, it would be extra special with artists doing guest spots on other sets and culminating in a huge party and it definitely delivered.
Cherrytree Records Preshow Meet and Greet.
Prior to the show an email from was sent out for a Cherrytree Preshow Meet n Greet. The M&G consisted of Far East Movement and LMFAO. There were roughly 60 that RSVP'd so great group of rec'ers.
Cherrytree Pop Alternative Tour
I was late getting to my seat so I happened to catch the end of Frankmusik's set as he and Natalia Kills performed "No Champagne". Natalia then performed "Free" and "Mirrors". I had never seen Rye Rye and I loved her song actually but as usual security made me stop filming so I went down to the floor. Kay came out and performed the Robyn part in "Never Will Be Mine" equipped with a "Cherry Cherry Boom Boom" t-shirt.
Once I hit the floor, the Far East Movement were performing a blistering set containing "Girls on the Dancefloor", "If I Was You (OMG)", "So What?", "Jello" with Rye Rye, "White Flag" with Kayla Kai, "Like a G6" with Natalia Kills, "Go Ape" with Collete Carr, and "Rocketeer" with FrankMusik.
Just Dance Meet and Greet.
Prior to the LMFAO set, the Cherrytree Family did a meet in greet at one of the gates. They were very gracious to the fans and it was a pleasure for me to witness everyone's happiness meeting their favorite artist.
LMFAO hit the stage and brought their full set of props and backup dancers for a 1 hour plus party. Many LED screens were part of their stage set up, flashing footage and various pictures as well as some hilarious images. The highlight of the set was "Shots" featuring Colette Carr, Rye Rye, Kay, Far East Movement, Natalia Kills, and FrankMusik. Natalia Kills also performed "Champagne Showers" which we were all sprayed with champagne.
awww Poly!!!!
It was really Sickkkk.
Biggest show in Canada!

My furnance has a Electric Air Cleaner (Sears model# 281.839100)
The Cleaner seems to not be powering on. I verified that the electrical wire running to it does carry power when the furnance fan comes on with a voltage tester. I verified that the electrical connections from the electrical wire to the cleaner are good.
I have cleaned the filter and cell. The cleaner's power switch is in the "ON" position. When the furnance fan kicks on, neither the cleaner's Power light or it's Operating light ever comes on. The "Test" button does not make the cleaner give a "crackling" sound to indicate its functioning properly when pressed as stated on the unit. Since the furnance/cleaner is old, I thought maybe those light bulbs might be burnt out, but while the furnance is running I do not hear the cleaner making the "arcing" or "clicking" sound that they make when attracting the dirt. The furnance and cleaner was existing when I bought the house so I do not have a manual for it. Could there be a fuse in this model that needs replaced? Any info for this model would be helpful. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are several things to verify - carefully! The power switch may be defective. There may be a fuse that has burnt or there may be a problem with the high voltage circuit such as burnt components (resistors or semi conductors), defective capacitors or just cold solder (defective) joints on a printed circuit board. If you know what you're doing you may be able to trouble shoot this but there may also be risks. The risk is that even with the power OFF and the unit removed, there might be enough stored high voltage in some of the capacitors to give you a jolt or damage your meter. Unless you know how to safely discharge high voltage circuits it may not be advisable to 'tinker' inside this unit! I offer this cautionary advice as someone that as an electronic technician has serviced many high end tube amplifiers and as a ham radio operator that has serviced high power VERY high voltage RF transmitters.

MISSOULA - University of Montana linebacker Jordan Tripp continues to receive post-season attention at the national level. He was recently invited to participate in the 65th Annual Reese's Senior Bowl, which will by played on Jan. 25 at Ladd-Peeples Stadium in Mobile, Alabama.
The game kicks off at 1:00 p.m. (Mountain) in front of a national television audience live on the NFL Network.
Tripp is in very rare company, as he is just the second player in school history to be invited to play in the prestigious game. The only other Griz player to participate in the Senior Bowl was offensive tackle Scott Gragg, who played in 1995.
Gragg, currently Montana's co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, played 11 seasons in the National Football League for the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and New York Jets, and started in 151 NFL games.
Virtually every NFL team will be represented at the Senior Bowl, and generally each team has several representatives, including the general manager, most head coaches, tons of scouts, and player personnel. A minimum of a few hundred NFL representative will be on hand. The players meet formally with each team for interviews during the week and are coached by NFL staffs.
"I feel extremely blessed to have this opportunity," said Tripp, who is currently living and working out in San Ramon, Calif. "With that said, I am going to be prepared 100 percent and go out there and do it, and play well. I am out here working out with Dave Spitz Dave Spitz with California Strength, a phenomenal weight-lifting coach and trainer, and I couldn't ask for anything more in terms of preparation and getting ready to go and play in the Senior Bowl. I want to thank everybody who helped to get me to this point, and I am really excited to get going."
Last week Tripp accepted an offer to play in the 88th Annual East-West Shrine Game, Saturday, Jan. 18 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, but he has now opted to participate in the Senior Bowl.
"It's an awesome honor," said UM's defensive coordinator/linebacker coach Ty Gregorak. "Honors just keep coming in for him. I knew about the East-West Shrine Game invite, and I thought that was awesome, and then to hear about the Senior Bowl was just outstanding.
"To know that the last player, and the one and only was Scott Gragg puts it in perspective," Gregorak said. "It's been quite some time since that happened, and we've had some big-time players around here. There are some of our guys who are still playing on Sundays who haven't had that opportunity.
"It's just a real honor to have got to work with Jordan," Gregorak said. "He's an exceptional guy. As good of a football player and as good of a career that he had at Montana, he's just an exceptional guy. That's why I am so happy to see this stuff come in for him. He's done a lot for his hometown with his off-the-field stuff."
In 2013, Tripp, a 6-3 ½, 237-pound senior outside linebacker, was the Grizzlies' second-leading tackler with 100 stops, and he was tied for the team lead with three interceptions.
He has been a first team All-Big Sky Conference pick and an All-America selection the past two seasons in a row. Tripp, who served as Montana's co-captain on defense the past two seasons, was named the team's Pat Norwood Award winner (Most Inspirational Player), following his senior campaign.
He has been a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award (the FCS Defensive Player of the Year) the past two seasons. He finished 10th in the balloting for that award in 2012 and 2013.
A rare five-time letterman, he is ranked fourth in school history with 336 career tackles. He played in 52 career games and started in 38. He set a school standard with 10 career fumble recoveries.
Tripp is also involved in several local charitable and civic events, and was a nominee for the American Football Coaches' Association's annual "Good Works Team" for his community involvement.
Jordan is a third-generation football player at Montana. His father, Bryan was a linebacker from 1989-90, while his grandpa Gene was an offensive lineman from 1963-64.
Tripp was the 11th player in Grizzly history to be invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game. The last Grizzly player to play in the East-West Shrine Game was offensive lineman Chase Raynock, who participated in 1999.
The first Senior Bowl was played in Jacksonville, Fla.'s Gator Bowl in 1950, and moved to Mobile's Ladd-Peebles Stadium one year later, where it has remained.

Today was a nice day, so I was out inspecting the gardens. I noticed one of my roses has completely black stems, so I have a feeling it didn't make it through the winter. I'm not surprised - it was just planted last summer, and a rabbit had eaten all the leaves off of it by the end of summer, so it wasn't in a real strong state going into winter. Very disappointing though, because it's one that's difficult to obtain - Nicole. The place I got it last year (Heirloom) doesn't have it this year.
When the stems are completely black, is that a pretty good indicator that the plant is dead? Deanna |

No, the stems are probably dead but Heirloom plants are all own-root and chances are good the crown and roots are still alive. The usual advice, and I think it's good advice, is to do nothing until early April (when the forsythia starts to bloom is a good signal) and then prune back gradually until you see white pith on the cut surfaces of the stems. Hopefully, this will occur at or just below soil level and your plant will live. |
If it comes back from the roots you will certainly have to be vigilant about keeping rabbits & such away from the leaves. Don't be surprised if you only get one weak cane from the roots this year. |
- Posted by gardenfanatic MO zone5 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 8, 09 at 18:47
If it comes back, I'll be happy even if it only has one cane. It's weird, because there are several roses in that bed, but the rabbit(s) kept coming back to Nicole until she was stripped bare. It was very aggravating. If it comes back, it will get regular sprinklings of cayenne pepper. Deanna |
Deanna, I have serious rabbit issues and I have found the only sure way to save a rose is to make a cage of chicken wire and surround the rose. Cayenne and other sprays work but if I miss a day the rabbits beat me. Nicole is a beautiful rose and I hope you can save her. Good luck, Lesley |
- Posted by kathy_george z6b? Maryland (My Page) on Sat, Mar 14, 09 at 5:57
I agree with Lesley. I buy chicken wire, snip it in half (so ~18 inches high, not 3 ft) and put a small circle/cylinder around minis and around larger bushes that are new or short and will put out lots of new green growth. (We had a short HT and rabbits ate the new canes, so it did not grow till I protected it - then it grew to 3-4 ft.) Over winter the cages are good, as they can hold oak leaves and other leaves as mulch and winter protection for the bushes; then throw away the leaves for spring. Tin snips will cut the wire. It's widely available - I think I bought it at Home Depot. At any rate, prune your bushes below the black, but even if it is even with the ground, your bush should grow back. Good luck! Kathy |
- Posted by gardenfanatic MO zone5 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 14, 09 at 19:15
Dumb question - what do you use to stabilize the chicken wire? Deanna |
- Posted by athenainwi z4b/5 WI (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 0:18
I was using the cheap metal tomato cages as support but you can bury the bottom of the chicken wire and it usually stays in place fairly well. |
Burying the chicken wire as said above, or place a small stake (e.g. bamboo stake) on one side of the wire, and attach with a twisty tie. That will keep it upright & anchored. I do the same thing with rose pots I use to shield the base of the plant in winter. |
- Posted by gardenfanatic MO zone5 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 19, 09 at 22:14
I'm thrilled! I went out and checked on Nicole today, and saw a little sprig with leaves on it sprouting from underground. I can't believe it's alive. I got my cayenne pepper and sprinkled it in case any rabbits got any ideas. Deanna |
- Posted by tenor_peggy 10 FL, N. Fort Myers (My Page) on Fri, Mar 20, 09 at 9:10
When I used chicken wire around my minis up north I secured the hoops with zip ties. Chicken wire does the trick but if you are going to use a barrior long term to keep the rabbits from pruning your roses see if you can find some green plastic coated wire at a garden center. Chicken wire rusts and looks shabby after a while. The green wire is coated so it doesn't have sharp edges and looks better in the garden. I never used it but my neighbor up north did and it looked pretty good. |

April 2013's Featured Organization is
GO Boxer Rescue!
"Dogs have given us their absolute all.
We are the center of their universe.
We are the focus of their
love and faith and trust.
They serve us in return for scraps.
It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made."
- Roger Caras, President of ASPCA
About GO Boxer Rescue
GO Boxer Rescue is a non-profit Foster Home-based organization that serves Ohio and bordering areas. This organization acts as a placement program to foster Boxers in need and eventually find them forever homes. Currently, GOBR has 12 Boxers being evaluated in foster homes and being conditioned for adoption.
This rescue is also dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership through their application process and pet ownership preparation. They are committed to helping owners with any issues they may be experiencing in order to ensure a safe and happy existence for both Boxer and family.
Digestive upset, which oftentimes manifests in bouts of diarrhea, is a common problem for so many dogs, especially dogs that experience stressful living situations such as being homeless and entering shelter and rescue situations; senior dogs are also more likely to have digestive troubles. You can help the Boxers being cared for by GO Boxer Rescue today. When you donate $3 the rescue will receive a bottle of IntelliFlora which retails at $14.99. IntelliFlora is a nutritional supplement especially designed for the dietary management of dogs with diarrhea; it has been proven to promote intestinal health as well as healthy immune system functioning.
Co-founders Delmar Robinson and Rachel Osborn met in 1995. Both had a history with raising Boxers and a soft spot in their hearts for the breed, so they dedicated their time to helping Boxers who need new homes.
Go Boxer Rescue's mission since then has been to find forever homes for Boxers. The rescue assesses the health and temperament of each dog, and provides medical care and training as needed.
Learn more about GO Boxer Rescue, the Outreach Program and IntelliFlora on our April Outreach blog page.

Commerce City Police dog shooting: Owner devastated, confused by pit bull label
Update, 8:08 a.m. November 29: Earlier this week, we told you about the shooting of Chloe, a pit bull mix, by a Commerce City police officer; look below to see our previous coverage. Now, the Animal Law Center's Jennifer Edwards has reportedly taken the case and plans a lawsuit against Commerce City -- the very community she unsuccessfully took to court over a similar incident mere months ago. Meanwhile, a police department rep decries media coverage of the case.
Chloe was being temporarily kept at a Commerce City house (despite the town's pit bull ban) when she snuck out of the garage. A neighbor, Kenny Collins, called the authorities and recorded law enforcers' actions on a cell-phone camera. The video he shot shows Chloe being tased by a policeman and snared on a catch pole by a community service officer -- the equivalent of animal control in Commerce City. But the policeman felt Chloe remained out of control and fired his weapon multiple times, shooting and killing her.
One of the bullets ricocheted out of the garage, where the incident took place, and appears to have struck the community service officer's vehicle. However, no one other than Chloe was hurt.A screen capture from the video showing Commerce City officers trying to wrangle Chloe.
In a release, the Commerce City Police Department portrayed the shooting as necessary in order to protect members of the community. The CCPD also noted that following an officer's shooting and killing of another dog in 2010, all members of the department, including those who took part in the recent incident, went through training to understand the best way to handle situations involving dogs. The release added that a jury "determined the officers' actions were justified" in the 2010 matter.
That's true: According to Edwards, the case was resolved in August, with the jury determining that the officer acted reasonably in fulfilling her duties. But Edwards remains troubled by contradictions in testimony. The officer said she was under attack by three dogs, the attorney notes, and she was forced to shoot and kill the one in the lead in order to defend herself. Yet Edwards says she had two witnesses who saw only one dog (Zoey, described as being of mixed breed) rather than three. Moreover, those witnesses believed Zoey was quite a distance from the officer -- claims that might have been proven by an autopsy had the dog not already been cremated.Jennifer Edwards.
Despite hearing this testimony, the jurors ruled in the officer's favor. But the latest shooting suggests to Edwards that the Commerce City department has what she terms "an endemic problem" when it comes to the way it deals with dog-related situations. She also asserts that after the 2010 shooting, the CCPD didn't take the training it received seriously -- "and that manifested itself in what happened to Chloe."
Detective Christian Rasmussen, spokesman for the CCPD, rejects that claim. "I can assure you the entire department took the training seriously," he says. "That's why we went through it. We wouldn't go through training like that if we didn't think it would be beneficial, or if we didn't take it seriously."
Rasmussen declined to go into details about the case, which has now been handed over to the Adams County District Attorney's Office for investigation -- and he didn't know if Chloe has been cremated. But he was unhappy with the media's reporting about the shooting.
"I think it started out extremely poorly -- it was extremely one-sided and wasn't portrayed accurately or fairly," he says. "There were even comments put out in the media about the community service officer's reaction and her mental state" -- a reference to reports that she was distraught after Chloe was killed. "No one spoke to her, and without getting her comments on something like that, well, I just think that's poor journalism. I think it's unprofessional to report on things like this without getting as many sides of the story as possible."
When we get more details about the proposed lawsuit against Commerce City, we'll update this post.

The Art and Science of Mindfulness in Law
with Shauna Shapiro, Ph. D.
12:45-2 p.m., February 4, 2013
Boalt Hall, Room 12, Berkeley Law (ground floor)
In this brown bag lunch talk, Dr. Shapiro will offer scientific research and meditative practices for those in the legal profession interested in awakening the mind and opening the heart. Drawing on current research in psychology, medicine and cognitive neuroscience, we will investigate the effects of mindfulness meditation and its potential applications in law. We will explore specific pathways of applying mindfulness personally and professionally to cultivate greater compassion, clarity and well being.
Shauna L. Shapiro, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University, licensed clinical psychologist, and internationally recognized expert in mindfulness. Dr. Shapiro has conducted extensive clinical research investigating the effects of mindfulness training across a wide range of populations and has published over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles in addition to co-authoring the critically acclaimed professional text, The Art and Science of Mindfulness, with a foreword by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Dr. Shapiro is the recipient of the American Council of Learned Societies teaching award, acknowledging her outstanding contributions to graduate education. She lectures and leads mindfulness training programs internationally on the growing applications of mindfulness in psychology, health care, education and law. Dr. Shapiro has been invited to lecture for the King of Thailand, the Danish Government Centre for Development of Human Resources, Andrew Weil's Integrative Medicine Program, and the World Council for Psychotherapy, Beijing, China.

My embroidery machine came with only 2 bobbins, so I went to the store and purchased a big pack of bobbins specifically marked for Brother machines. Every time I try to use one, my machine does NOT like it! Jams up every time. Where oh where am I going to find the correct bobbins? Brother Mall doesn't even have them! |

There are two sizes of bobbins for Brother machines. SA156 has a depth of 7/16" and SA155 is 3/8". After checking the online manual, it looks like the item numbers have changed. You may want to measure the depth of the supplied ones and compare to the new ones. It may also be a good idea to consult your local Brother dealer. HTH, Todd |
- Posted by mimijacobs (My Page) on Tue, Oct 28, 08 at 15:41
Actually mine measures exactly 5/16 instead. So all those bobbins definitely would NOT work. Must have been a mix up at factory. But still leaves me in a dilemma! |

From invention to delivery
Applying innovative thinking
PA Consulting Group, through our Innovation unit' has always looked into the future to explore future technologies and present their potential applications. There are enormous benefits to be gained and for those organisations wishing to innovate and remain competitive, such forward thinking is essential.
In this particular issue we focus on 'future gazing' and how organisations can proactively overcome some of the challenges of dealing with the unknown, rather than simply being reactive, to enable them to shape the future. After all, the rapid rate of technology progression, along with the level of commitment required to embrace new technologies, has a long term impact on the organisation's future.
Future gazing is not an exact science, but it is not necessary for organisations to resort to crystal balls and fortune-tellers. There are robust tools and approaches to demystify the unknowns with sufficient clarity to underpin decision making. We have applied PA's own future gazing tools and techniques to help us generate the articles in this edition; our FutureWorlds approach offers an extremely focused and practical method of thinking about the future. In this edition we cover the following scenarios:
In 2018, ambient intelligence and affective computing work quietly in the background as a class of 16-year-olds discover how the UK's new hi-tech, intelligent welfare system provides personalised support when and where needed.
Five years earlier, in 2013, Sasha de Silva, a global markets regulator, is on the trail of a rogue trader on a highly automated, weather-based futures market. We speculate on issues that algorithmic trading might present in the future, and on how tools such as reality mining might be employed.
Fast forward another few years and, in 2015, Mika Hesso, the CEO of NordIQ, looks back at the innovation capability and technologies that have made his organisation a dominant market force, including passive biometrics, reality mining, and prediction markets.
Finally we look back on the evolution of grid computing since we covered it in our very first issue back in 2004. It is well over a decade since Sun Microsystems pronounced, "the network is the computer", and as grids evolve into 'clouds', we assess the impact of this technology and its readiness for business prime time.

Breakfast Topic: Did you accomplish what you wanted during the Love festival? {WoW}
Feb 16th 2009 9:05AM Bag of Candy got me too. RNG inside an RNG makes for a poorly thought out achievement. If this is Blizzards way of limiting how many people get the Violet Proto-Drake, then I'm really bothered by that. It should be skill or tenacity, not complete random dumb luck. For my Merrymaker title, I leveled my cooking from 1-350. For my Elder title, I spent over 4 hours traveling all over Azeroth looking for elders. No luck involved. Now I can't get that Proto-Drake because I decided to sleep at night and spend time with my family, rather than logging in once an hour to get some stupid bag that MIGHT include what I need. Total fail on Blizz's part.

Dec 29th 2008 9:58AM @ Heilig
While threat isn't nearly the concern it was in TBC, it is definitely still a concern on AOE pulls and when you have very strong dps. I find in raids that on most bosses I can manage to put out 4-6k threat per second, and my best rogue and warrior are usually between 50 to 75% of my threat. So if I were to lose 25% of my threat, there'd be problems. I'm not saying a disc priest would cause that to happen, because I doubt they would, due to my being at max rage against most every boss.

Dear Editor:
About two years ago, the block next to Key Food was torn down and signs went up describing this new building. Suddenly, now that it's staring them in the face, they are offended because their views are blocked!
Then the Chronicle informed us that The Legendary Midway was sold ("Midway theater bought by investors," Sept. 26, multiple editions). This was bound to happen because of the awful movies they were showing, the prices rising and Netflix. Do you see the handwriting on the wall?
And in addition there is the possible building on top of one of the malls in Rego Park.
When the powers that be (the Community Board and others), approved these projects, did they consider what will happen to the rush hours on the trains and the buses, which are impossible to negotiate now, and the increase in cars with their honking horns? I don't know if the building presently going up will include a garage. Ho ho ho.
Is the public invited to put their two cents In? For all those opposed, I hope to see you on line before the fact.
Someone interviewed for his opinion on the purchase of the Midway in one of the local papers would like to see a Barnes and Noble. Let me be the first to inform him that we already have one two blocks away, and the company is struggling to survive because everyone has his face in an e-book. I would like to see, and I think Forest Hills deserves the best, a Fairway, a Food Emporium, or a Whole Foods, instead of the cruddy, old-fashioned Key Foods we have to tolerate.
Another suggestion would be to keep the theater and turn it into a foreign film house or theater for plays. If Queens residents can schlep to the city, I'm sure the Manhattanites would come our way too. They go to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, don't they?

(NKJV) Psalms 68:1 1
PSALM 68The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. 1 Let God arise,Let His enemies be scattered;Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. 2 As smoke is driven away,So drive them away;As wax melts before the fire,So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3 But let the righteous be glad;Let them rejoice before God;Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. 4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;Extol Him who rides on the clouds,lBy His name Yah,And rejoice before Him. 5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,Is God in His holy habitation. 6 God sets the solitary in families;He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;But the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 7 O God, when You went out before Your people,When You marched through the wilderness,Selah 8 The earth shook;The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 9 You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,When it was weary. 10 Your congregation dwelt in it;You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor. 11 The Lord gave the word;Great was the company of those who proclaimed it: 12 "Kings of armies flee, they flee,And she who remains at home divides the spoil. 13 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,And her feathers with yellow gold." 14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it,It was white as snow in Zalmon. 15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. 16 Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever. 17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand,Even thousands of thousands;The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place. 18 You have ascended on high,You have led captivity captive;You have received gifts among men,Even from the rebellious,That the Lord God might dwell there. 19 Blessed be the Lord,Who daily loads us with benefits,The God of our salvation!Selah 20 Our God is the God of salvation;And to God the Lord belong escapes from death. 21 But God will wound the head of His enemies,The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses. 22 The Lord said, "I will bring back from Bashan,I will bring them back from the depths of the sea, 23 That your foot may crush themm in blood,And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies." 24 They have seen Your procession, O God,The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. 25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;Among them were the maidens playing timbrels. 26 Bless God in the congregations,The Lord, from the fountain of Israel. 27 There is little Benjamin, their leader,The princes of Judah and their company,The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali. 28 Your God has commandedn your strength;Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us. 29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,Kings will bring presents to You. 30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,Till everyone submits himself with pieces of silver.Scatter the peoples who delight in war. 31 Envoys will come out of Egypt;Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God. 32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth;Oh, sing praises to the Lord,Selah 33 To Him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice. 34 Ascribe strength to God;His excellence is over Israel,And His strength is in the clouds. 35 O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places.The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.Blessed be God!

Arcane Brilliance: Perfecting the fire tree {WoW}
Apr 10th 2011 2:32AM Well, that's kind of what the point of this new method is - it minimizes munching by having a "cap" that you can go towards, so any crits over the cap just extend the DoT, even if they munch.
Arcane Brilliance: Perfecting the fire tree {WoW}
Apr 9th 2011 2:18PM My solution for Ignite Munching is to rework the entire ignite talent from the ground up. Instead, work it so that it is like this:
- Procs on every crit, periodic or not
- Stores a "percentage" of that crit as a DoT, say...10%.
- Lasts ten seconds (Plenty of time for even lesser geared fire mages to get a crit)
- Each time it procs again, the new ignite number is added on to the old one.
- To prevent obvious balance issues, the DoT is capped at, say...2.5x your current spell power, or something similar.
Breakfast Topic: Care to share any recent embarrassing moments? {WoW}
Mar 21st 2011 8:09AM Ah, that's easy. Yesterday I was with some friends giving LK 10 Heroic a go, since most of us still needed our Bane of the Fallen King titles, and we were all generally goofing around. I was giving an explanation, and (because I only read about the fight instead of watching the video) I noted that when Shadow Traps came out, the person with the trap should run out in order to avoid it being dropped in a large group of people.
Anyone that has done that fight on heroic is already laughing.
I got Shadow Trap on me, and ran out of the pile of ranged. As I looked back, I realized that the trap had dropped right in the middle of them all...next thing I know I see our healer come flying at my screen ala Smash Bros. and all save one of the ranged DPS is dead (that one got thrown towards the throne). Thankfully, we had a good laugh about it, but I don't think I'm going to live that one down for a while...:P

Arcane Brilliance: Getting your mage up and running in 4.0.1 {WoW}
Oct 16th 2010 2:16PM As a mage, I'm finding that currently (though this may be due to spec familiarity and an obscene amount of mana regen I'm enjoying at the moment) Arcane is far out-dpsing fire, and is getting crazy crits (75k last night, although most fights had a max crit between 69k and 72k) that put its damage - especially in the "burn" phases - through the roof.
That said, for you fire mages out there (and I do find the fire spec a little more fun to play), I recommend you look for the addon called Combustion Helper. It shows when all of your dots are procced, and really helps to determine when you can pop Combustion for the optimal dps increase. Really nice to have.
Aside from that, I have a question: Would it be worth it to replace either the Sliver of Pure Ice (healer trink, I know, but since the patch it's gotten a bit nicer for an arc mage) or the Talisman of Resurgence (again, much better since the patch) for Maghia's Misguided Quill? I'm at the hit cap, but I can use the extra hit to let me reforge a lot of hit off my armor into other things, like mastery or haste...just wanna see what some other, probably much better mages think about this. =D

About 20 minutes into "Jelly's Last Jam," Gregory Hines, as Jelly Roll Morton, and Savion Glover, who plays Morton as a child, begin a tap duet. They tap on their toes, on their heels, and, in a step that must require unearthly elasticity in the shinbone, on the sides of their feet. The joy they generate is electrifying.
This explosive dance number typifies what is best about "Jelly's Last Jam." Much of the show is a glorious tribute to the musical culture of New Orleans.
Ostensibly a biography of Morton, the show is set in Heaven, where his life is being scrutinized by the Chimney Man, an embodiment of black show business tradition, played with unutterable elegance by Keith David.
My own understanding of jurisprudence at the Pearly Gates is that Anglo-Saxon procedures were used, that there are angels for both the prosecution and the defense of the newly arrived. In George C. Wolfe's Heaven there is only prosecution.
Wolfe's book hammers relentlessly at Morton's arrogance and his seemingly pathological hatred of blacks who are darker skinned than he is. The racism of blacks against other blacks is an unlikely undercurrent for a musical, but Wolfe raises it to a level of importance that may not be warranted by the facts.
In Wolfe's version Morton is raised in a prissy Creole household and only goes slumming when he is a young man. In Morton's own account, his first encounter with the gritty side of New Orleans came at the age of six months, when a godmother made him the unwitting sidekick of "a sporting woman."
In his brilliant revue, "The Colored Museum," Wolfe had a biting sketch in which an upwardly mobile black had to jettison the funky toys of his youth to retain respectability. The one thing he regrets is a Temptations record, and when he opens the garbage can to retrieve it, a surly street black - a spectre of everything he wants to put behind him - grabs his arm and yells, "Gotcha!"
This juxtaposition is crucial to Wolfe. In "Jam," Morton is always disparaging the earthy culture he imagines is alien to him. But the street and the bordello were the roots that nourished his art. Morton - in both his own account and Wolfe's - claimed to be the inventor of jazz and disparaged his rivals. This, I suspect, was the kind of banter Muhammed Ali used to beguile the press.
If anyone but Gregory Hines played Morton, the effect of Wolfe's unrelenting portrait might be deadly. But Hines has a grace that makes him sympathetic even as Morton's behavior becomes increasingly ugly. His dancing has never been more effortless or more exhilarating.
The supporting cast - a true ensemble - is extraordinary. Tonya Pinkins, as the only woman who can handle him, is a singer and actress of great magnitude. Mary Bond Davis sings the blues sensationally. (The authentic Morton material, needless to say, is far stronger than the new songs.) Ruben Santiago-Hudson and Anne Duquesnay do impressive star turns, and Stanley Wayne Mathis is wrenching as Morton's closest friend, the man he treats the most cruelly.
Robin Wagner's sets are almost self-effacing in their simplicity, but every object evokes the past hauntingly. The sets - and Jules Fisher's lighting - help tell the story cinematically. Toni-Leslie James' costumes also convey this rich world through a rigorously limited palette.
Jazz is a subterranean stream nourishing American culture. Just as it enriched Morton in spite of his "racist" attitudes, it provides an incandescent frame for Wolfe's harsh portrait.
The name was Ferdinand Le Menthe Morton - better known as Jelly Roll. He was a womanizer, great pool-player, dapper, mean and vain. When he grinned wolfishly, Fort Knox glinted from out of his mouth, and he had a diamond implanted in his front incisor.
He developed his piano playing in a Storyville brothel, and he thought the Creole aristocracy of New Orleans, of which he was a sometime scion, were white. He also imagined that he had invented jazz, but flopped when he couldn't even keep up with the invention.
But when he played ragtime, going into "The King Porter Stomp" or "The Pearl" - the world stopped spinning just to listen to a filigree of sounds scattered like a carefully broken heart. He was a genius. Listen to the recordings. Or, better yet, go at once to "Jelly's Last Jam," an extraordinary musical theaterpiece, celebrating the music while dissecting the man, which opened last night at the Virginia Theatre.
It is as brilliant as Jelly's music and as dazzling as Jelly's smile, and the most original musical to hit Broadway in years.
There are three heroes - its star, the wonderful Gregory Hines at full stretch; its musician, Luther Henderson, who, with a wonderfully strong assist from lyricist Susan Birkenhead, has made Morton's red-hot-peppered, idiosyncratic music suitable for Broadway, without tampering it or tampering with it; and its hero of heroes, its playwright and director, George C. Wolfe.
It was Wolfe who conceived the play. He has taken a hokey concept of Jelly at point of death being confronted by the Chimney Man (a sort of Voodoo devil keen on final reckonings - and a superbly authoritative performance by Keith David) and being apparently treated to an episode of "This is Your Life."
But no sooner has the heart sunk than it jolts into life, as Wolfe, Henderson (who not only adapted the music but also composed links and segues) and Birkenhead get down to business. And what is truly fascinating about "Jelly's Last Jam" is that it is not just fun - and, boy, fun it is - it is also serious fun.
I don't know whether to praise Wolfe more as a playwright or as a director, for the two functions are here so perfectly merged. Without the other, neither would really exist - does, for example, the apotheosis ending (as thumpingly moving as anything to be encountered in the current theater) offer us Wolfe as playwright or Wolfe as director?
And his autonomy spreads over the show to his collaborators - the elegantly spare scenery by Robin Wagner, the flouncy period costuming by Toni-Leslie James, the astute and confident choreography by Hope Clarke (tap choreography by Hines himself and Ted L. Levy) and the ever able lighting by Jules Fisher. No touch is spared or missed.
The dynamics of the show are, of course, provided by the music (note the pacings and the tensions of Henderson's orchestrated patchwork) and the cast. And the cast comes through like a great family fiesta.
Hines is basically far too genial a performer to be a natural Morton, but Wolfe provides him with a steel-mean backbone, and the performer (one of Broadway's all-time great entertainers) and the actor do the rest in a riveting portrayal.
But everyone is splendid - David, I've mentioned, but there is also Tonya Pinkins as Jelly's sassy woman, Savion Glover perfectly charming as Jelly's younger self, Stanley Wayne Mathis as his bullied side-kick, Mary Bond Davis as a great old blues singer, and Mame Duncan-Gibbs, Stephanie Pope and Allison M. Williams as three voluptuously sexy, Norn-like figures of fate.
This is a great, great show - it catches the very spirit of jazz and runs with it.
On the short list of people who have so much talent they hardly know what to do with it all, count Gregory Hines, the star, and George C. Wolfe, the author and director of the new Broadway musical "Jelly's Last Jam."
Mr. Hines's brilliance is no secret. Few, if any, tap dancers in this world can match him for elegance, speed, grace and musicianship, and, as if that weren't enough, he also happens to be a silken jazz crooner, supple in voice and plaintive in emotions. In the role of Jelly Roll Morton, Mr. Hines gets to display these gifts to the fullest, not to mention his relatively unsung prowess as an actor. Even when the band is taking a break, every note he hits rings true.
As for Mr. Wolfe, a visionary talent who is making his Broadway debut, he has given "Jelly's Last Jam" ambitions beyond the imagination of most Broadway musicals, many of the street's current hits included. The show at the Virginia Theater is not merely an impressionistic biography of the man who helped ignite the 20th-century jazz revolution, but it is also a sophisticated attempt to tell the story of the birth of jazz in general and, through that story, the edgy drama of being black in the tumultuous modern America that percolated to jazz's beat. And that's not all: "Jelly's Last Jam," a show in part about what it means to be African-American, is itself an attempt to remake the Broadway musical in a mythic, African-American image. Mr. Wolfe wants nothing less than to do for popular theater what Morton and his peers once did for pop music.
Is the effort a complete success? No. But after watching the sizzling first act of "Jelly's Last Jam," at once rollicking and excessive, roof-raising and overstuffed, you fly into intermission, high on the sensation that something new and exciting is happening, whatever the wrong turns along the way. The briefer Act II is another, deflating story, but one that should not be permitted to deface the memory of the adventurous Act I.
That adventure begins the moment Mr. Hines makes an unorthodox star entrance that is the first of the show's many breaches of Broadway tradition. Elevated into view on a platform at the edge of the darkened, empty stage, Mr. Hines arrives without fanfare. His back is to the audience, his posture crestfallen. When he finally turns to look at us, he is unsmiling, mute and shuddering. His baggy eyes are wide with the fright of someone who has just seen a ghost.
As it happens, the ghost he has seen is his own. "Jelly's Last Jam" takes place on the eve of its title character's death. It is conceived as a Judgment Day inquisition into the meaning of a life that began in turn-of-the-century New Orleans, where Ferdinand Le Menthe Morton was born into light-skinned Creole gentility, and is about to end in the "colored wing" of the Los Angeles hospital where he died, destitute and forgotten, in 1941. The elastic setting for this trial is "a lowdown club somewhere's 'tween Heaven 'n' Hell," and its chief jurist is a mysterious, raffish agent of the supernatural, Chimney Man (a majestic Keith David), who accuses Jelly of denying the black heritage that gave his music its syncopation and its pain.
While this conceit sounds heavy, the execution is often liberating. Mr. Wolfe brings on a high-voltage company of singers and dancers and a series of musical numbers in which biographical flashbacks, daring theatrical stylization, boisterous entertainment and tragic inferences all mesh in repeated crescendos. The songs have been ingeniously crafted, mostly from Morton's own compositions, by the arranger and composer, Luther Henderson, and the lyricist, Susan Birkenhead, who have tailored this instrumental music to meet the demands of the theater and of singers without sacrificing its integrity.
In one remarkable sequence that seems to be Mr. Wolfe's pointed response to the vendors' scene in "Porgy and Bess," the young Jelly, played by that exuberant dancer Savion Glover, leaves behind his strait-laced Creole upbringing to assimilate the authentic indigenous music of a diverse army of New Orleans street singers. This leads to a show-stopping tap challenge between Mr. Glover and Mr. Hines -- in which their heads, wrists and elbows are choreographed (by Mr. Hines and Ted L. Levy) as tightly as their feet -- and then into a galvanic blues belted out in a Storyland brothel by Mary Bond Davis. As Jelly moves on toward fame and fortune in 1920's Chicago, he passes through a dance hall in which a whirlwind of a chorus picks up his steps, much as his tinkling piano is echoed by the blast of horns. "That's How You Jazz," as the number is called, makes the invention of jazz a miraculous, eruptive theatrical event.
The intimate moments in Jelly's story are handled just as innovatively, with the young Jelly's banishment by his disapproving grandmother and the older Jelly's romance with a tough, independent nightclub proprietor named Anita being dramatized through wildly different blues songs. Ann Duquesnay and Tonya Pinkins bring big voices to these roles, but Ms. Pinkins's powerhouse Anita also has spicy, outspoken dialogue redolent of the strong women in Mr. Wolfe's Zora Neale Hurston adaptation, "Spunk." Her first night in bed with Jelly, a war for dominance as funny as it is erotic, aims for a new adult standard in male-female encounters in Broadway musicals. It is soon followed by a bracing Act I finale, memorably choreographed by Hope Clarke and red-hot in rage, in which Jelly's racist denial of his own blackness spirals into a nightmarish explosion of the toadying minstrel mentality he cannot leave behind.
Mr. Wolfe's harsh view of Morton, touchingly leavened by Mr. Hines's sympathetic portrayal, will not surprise those who saw his "Colored Museum," in which Josephine Baker and Michael Jackson were skewered for denying their pasts. "Jelly's Last Jam" is also consistent with that previous work's satirical assault on "A Raisin in the Sun," for it regards white racism as an old-fashioned subject for drama. Except for one brief, flat Tin Pan Alley sequence, Mr. Wolfe leaves whites offstage, choosing instead to examine schisms within black America from the inside. He is less concerned with whether Jelly can walk through doors labeled "whites only" than whether he will walk through a symbolic door, covered with tribal hieroglyphs, that leads to his African past. "Jelly's Last Jam" no more resembles old-time Broadway civil-rights musicals than it does those countless upbeat revues saluting Jelly Roll Morton's peers.
That this writer can paint his themes on a large, costly Broadway canvas without losing his own devilish voice and fabulist esthetics is doubly impressive. As director, Mr. Wolfe has also made an effortless leap, eliciting intense performances even from the ensemble and achieving a striking visual polish with the aid of such fine previous collaborators as the costume designer Toni-Leslie James and the mask and puppet designer Barbara Pollitt. The inventive sets are by Robin Wagner, whose sleek, abstract use of a black void and changing configurations of lights occasionally make a winking reference to the thematically related "Dreamgirls" that he designed for Michael Bennett.
When "Jelly's Last Jam" collapses in Act II, as it does despite Mr. Hines's heartfelt efforts, it is because Mr. Wolfe has not imaginatively recast the banal material of Jelly's decline and fall. Having nothing to add to his overall point about his hero's racial denial, he settles instead for the conventions of show-biz biography. The hit songs, money and women run out; a Freudian cliche is invoked to explain Jelly's lifelong inability to feel. And as the song-and-dance interludes dwindle, Chimney Man blows too much smoke by preachily repeating the evening's incantatory messages. The curtain finally falls on the show's one dishonest note, a Broadway happy button slapped on to a denouement that is otherwise a downer.
The second act of Mr. Wolfe's career promises to be a lot more exciting than the second act of "Jelly's Last Jam." In the meantime, anyone who cares about the future of the American musical will want to see and welcome his first.
Although most of the songs are more than 60 years old, "Jelly's Last Jam" is an original, exuberant and sometimes outrageous new American musical. And while it's rooted in the New Orleans jazz of the '20s, "Jelly" is a quintessentially '90s show. It's brash, vivacious, a little Angst-ridden and staged to within an inch of its life--all without ever being actually dangerous. If Broadway has room for an other big, splashy, tuneful crowd-pleaser, here it is.
"Jelly" marks the Broadway debut of George C. Wolfe, a director with a sensibility that's at once in-your-face and congenial--an appealing combination, particularly for a musical in which the hero's lovability quotient falls somewhere between Joey Evans and Sweeney Todd.
Wolfe also happens to be the author of the show's book, which is conventional at best and completely falls apart in the brief second act.
Nevertheless, a show starring Gregory Hines and Savion Glover will showcase the best tap dancing to be seen anywhere. And Hines gives a nimble, suave yet impassioned performance as the pioneer jazz composer, pianist and bandleader Jelly Roll Morton.
Hines generates energy from his fingers and toes; it's hard to believe anything negative could emanate from someone so dedicated to joyful high performance. But in Jelly Roll, he's met his match: a complex character with a real mean streak.
Reduced to its essentials, "Jelly" reads like a cliched biotuner: Famous guy dies and lands in purgatory, where a skeptical intermediary reviews the evidence to determine in which direction the dearly departed should be sent.
True to form, there's much more pleasure in the scenes in which the hero seems assuredly hell-bound than in the ones where he finds himself perilously close to self-awareness and rehabilitation.
A child of privilege, Morton was raised in a snobby Creole family. Classically trained, the young Jelly (Glover) finds escape playing piano in lowdown Storyville brothels and barrelhouses.
He synthesizes several black musical styles, designates himself the inventor of jazz and finds, briefly, fame and fortune in Chicago--not, however, before he's been renounced by his scandalized family. Jelly, in turn, renounces his African ancestry, becoming the worst kind of racist in a society that will never accept him as anything but black.
In what is sure to be the show's most talked-about sequence, Jelly humiliates his best friend, Jack the Bear (Stanley Wayne Mathis), whom Jelly suspects of sleeping with his lover. He presents Jack with a red bellhop's jacket to wear on the night his new club is to open outside Chicago.
Wolfe follows it, however, with a stunning coup de theatre. The entire company appears in those same jackets, and in mock blackface, to close out the first act with an explosive dance number led by Hines to King Oliver's "Dr. Jazz." It's a strategy worthy of Lenny Bruce: neutralizing an offensive stereotype by making it part of the accepted vocabulary (in this case, the dance vocabulary).
Susan Birkenhead's lyrics for this and the other tunes are bawdy and ironic, managing to avoid caricature. Propelled by Luther Henderson's muscular orchestrations, the music also seems non-stop. That's great, because the dancing in "Jelly's Last Jam" is wonderful.
Wolfe is served brilliantly by choreographer Hope Clarke, who's as inventive with the big, fervid production numbers as she is sensuous during the more intimate interludes.
The sizzling tap choreography is by Hines and Ted L. Levy. It's hard to imagine a better company to serve these ends. They know how to sing these songs, and every step is sure.
The standouts are Mathis' dignified, warmhearted Jack; Tonya Pinkins, as the sultry girlfriend, Anita; Mary Bond Davis, as Miss Mamie, the vibrant mother substitute young Jelly finds in Storyville; and Ruben Santiago Hudson as Morton's early musical influence, Buddy Bolden, the legendary cornettist who, a character says, "played notes only my black folks in heaven can hear."
Keith David, with an odd white stripe down the middle of his face, is commanding as Jelly Roll's no-nonsense guide, the Chimney Man.
Three sexy, black-clad women (Mamie Duncan Gibbs, Stephanie Pope and Allison M. Williams, known collectively as the Hunnies) form a sort of singing chorus.
Robin Wagner, who filled the stage of the Shubert Theater a few short weeks ago with his witty sets for "Crazy for You," goes to the other extreme here, in an abstract mode reminiscent of his designs for "Dreamgirls."
He lets a few lines of neon or a curtain of beads suggest the scene, in concert with Jules Fisher's splayed and smoky shafts of light. The major exception is an early street scene dominated by a huge orange sun and lit with a fiery Southern Comfort glow.
There's also great range in Toni Leslie James' costumes. Some are tacky (those Hunnies) but the rest run the gamut from earthy in one scene to elegant in the next.
That leaves the show's chief, but crucial, failing.
Wolfe's book is at times aimless and repetitive. Worse, it never builds, content instead to unfold from scene to scene. There's virtually no emotional payoff, despite the nasty truths that the Chimney Man forces Jelly to confront.
Worse yet, it collapses in the second act, in which the star is given too little to do. The result, despite the best efforts of Hines and company, probably runs counter to Wolfe's intention.
Polished to a dazzling finish, "Jelly's Last Jam" is almost sinfully pleasurable, without making any demands whatsoever on the heart.

Luz y verdad | Women's football in the heights of La Paz
Editor's note
The following is an updated version of a letter that mission worker Susan Ellison wrote to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) as part of her assignment facilitating church connections to Joining Hands against Hunger. In establishing her women's football initiative, Ellison shows, as it says in her mission profile, that she "intends to listen to the indigenous people before taking action." Ellison says, "For me, faith is a part of everyday life and so my sense of mission is not easily divided into spiritual and earthly matters. Whether I advocate for just economic policies or work toward the health and wholeness of all of God's children, I feel I do ministry. I feel called to work towards a just world, and I believe that in doing so I am working to achieve God's kingdom here on earth."
"The real killers on the field are Aymara women 'de pollera,' who wear the long, multilayered skirts that characterize Aymara women's dress." (All photos copyright © 2004 Susan Ellison)
La Paz, Bolivia | Periodically, unrest grips Bolivia as the marginalized and oppressed indigenous majorities clash with ruling European-descent elites. Years of struggle have taught poor Bolivians that official channels for lodging their complaints and bringing about change are useless.
And so they blockade. Rural indigenous communities and working-class urban neighborhoods pepper the roads with stones, build earthen barricades, burn tires, go on strike and try to bring the country to a standstill. Scattered rocks make the streets impassable.
Instead, they become fútbol fields.
For two weeks in Oct 03, the high-plains region surrounding the nation's capital, Nuestra Seí±ora de La Paz (Our Lady of Peace), shut down. Violence flared in surrounding rural communities and in the adjacent city of El Alto. Encircled by the blockades, La Paz began to run out of food and cooking gas.
Following one of the worst days of violence, several of my neighbors and I ventured out of our homes, enticed by news that some beef or chicken had arrived in nearby butcher shops. We walked down the main avenue of our neighborhood and watched as groups of boys played soccer using stones that had been placed in the road as part of the blockades. At night those stones became goal posts. Unable to go about the usual business of life, and gripped by an overwhelming uncertainty, people still played. Along the entire length of Tito Yupanqui Street, teenagers and children sprinted between the stones, although it wasn't always clear where one game left off and another began.
Fútbol is the great world sport that we Americans don't seem to get, unless the women's national team is playing. Then we're frenetic. Even my stepmom threatens to rip off her top like Brandi Chastain in the 1999 World Cup. Fans of U.S. women's soccer may reach levels of hysteria seen in South America.
I came to Bolivia with the Presbyterian Hunger Program and soon found my Bolivian church community. And they liked to play fútbol. Some Bolivians consider fútbol the Source of Life itself. But while the boys are handed soccer balls while still in the crib, the girls are just now getting the opportunity to play.
Growing up as part of a generation of American women who were taught that we were just as capable of playing sports as the boys, I have tended to be more aggressive and less self-critical than many of the girls on our Bolivian church team. My years playing bench for Louisville Collegiate School's field hockey team (The Amazons) paid off. I am now the unofficial soccer coach and teen-angst counselor for the girls team at my church, Light and Truth Presbyterian.
I am no soccer expert, but years of playing team sports taught me the basics, and that camaraderie is often as important as technique. Still, no amount of training ever diminishes the dizzying effect of playing soccer at 12,000 feet. Evolution has left Bolivia's indigenous Aymara descendants with a bigger lung capacity, more red-blood cells and a real advantage when playing opponents, like myself, raised at sea level.
We have been working on the basics for about a year now. Stop the ball. Control. Pass. Stop. Control. Pass. Do not yell at your teammate!
Kicking the ball randomly only sends it into the sludgy "river" that runs by the concrete field. Fishing the ball out, you start to wonder what parasites are burrowing into your skin and when they will hatch. And so we practice: Stop. Control. Pass.
The real killers on the field are Aymara women "de pollera," who wear the long, multilayered skirts that characterize Aymara women's dress. In the shanty city of El Alto and in the countryside, it is not uncommon to see whole teams of women de pollera playing on the dusty fields, framed by adobe homes, the Andes mountains towering in the background.
Many Aymara empleadas (domestic workers) play on their Sundays off. They're deadly. On our team, we like for Petrona, who plays de pollera, to serve as goalie. If it gets past her hands, she's got a thick skirt to back her up.
Since most soccer fields in La Paz are either concrete or rock-scattered, staying on your feet is vital. My first game with Light and Truth I took off toward the goal with the ball. This was it! My moment of glory. Until someone else took the ball from me. And I kept going, soaring into the air and landing daintily on my stomach, where I skidded for a while before coming to a stop at the goalie's feet. Blood everywhere. Horrified Bolivians rushing toward me. Teenage boys straining not to laugh.
The crowds love to see a flying gringa. I spend a lot of my time playing fútbol feeling mortified, falling down. What they don't tell you during the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s orientation program is that much of this work is about your humiliation as entertainment for others.
That, and my Bolivian teammates would be disappointed if I gave any less than my body for the game.

Shogunai Tacos's oversized kitchen-on-wheels cruises around Honolulu to quell hunger pains with its eclectic array of globally-inspired tacos. Chef Kamal Jemmari whisks his customers around the world with his panoply of dishes, all served in the form of tacos. Melted cheddar cheese with pastrami and Japanese-inspired ginger- and shoyu-marinated pork create unique taco hybrids, and tender lamb, kalamata olives, and feta cheese soak in tzatziki sauce on the Greek taco. The chef's internationally infused take on the Mexican staple has attracted media attention, with favorable reviews from KTV4 and articles on the owners' love of Japanese cuisine. Jemmari ramps up his production with the catering menu, eschewing tortillas altogether in favor of expansive, multi-course Moroccan dinners.
From the bustling streets of Times Square to the equally vivacious streets of Hong Kong, people walk around with smiles after enjoying the japanese barbecue cuisine at Gyu-Kaku. The restaurant has more than 700 locations worldwide, each rooted in the belief that some of the strongest bonds between friends are forged at the dinner table. Groups dine on a huge variety of Japanese dishes, from popular meat and veggie dishes such as Harami Skirt Steak, Kalbi Short Rib, and Mushroom Medley - to unique Japanese-American appetizers such as the Spicy Tuna Volcano, Pork Gyoza Dumplings, and Chicken Karaage. The real excitement takes place around individual grills, however, where diners can barbecue their own slabs of filet mignon, grilled ahi tuna, or chicken with basil sauce until they are ideally tender or encircled by on-duty firemen.
Red House greets its visitors with upbeat Korean pop tunes that meld with the tantalizing smells of housemade sauces and spicy kimchi. Patrons settle into shiny, red-vinyl booths or cup-shaped chairs to mull over starters of korean meatballs or shrimp with wasabi mayo. Stir-fried or grilled pork, kimchi, and fried rice cakes are just some of the menu's stars. While diners enjoy bowls of bibimbob—a cornucopia of veggies and rice with gochujang sauce—giant projected K-pop videos entrance their eyes. The dining room cultivates a hip and whimsical atmosphere with smatterings of exposed brick, designs painted on the ceiling, and a distinctive red-and-white color scheme.
Hungry hoards seeking house-made comfort food visit Paul's Poppers for chicken katsu with house-made gravy, Portuguese sausage breakfast plates, and, on Aunty Lani's Fresh Bread Mondays, oven-fresh loaves. Diners also swarm the restaurant for?you guessed it?poppers. They're wontonlike fried dumplings whose crispy, flaky exterior hides a host of ingredients. The Original bursts with pork, jalapeno, and melted cheddar, while the Caprese clasps tomato, basil, and mozzarella. Poppers come as single-serving combos?say, eight with a side of kimchi fried rice?or in quantities of up to 75 to feed a party or a friend who only eats things in quantities of 75.
Part swanky lounge with plush leather seating, part neighborhood burger joint with scrubbed wooden tables, Sway Restaurant and Bar is a mecca for creative fusion. The cuisine follows suit with American classics that receive an Asian makeover. Tacos are stuffed with Korean kalbi short ribs and salmon is marinated in miso and served atop buckwheat soba noodles. Hawaiian grass-fed beef goes into the burgers, which include a version inspired by traditional Vietnamese banh mi.
Drawing from 15 years of culinary experience, chef Jeong Lim folds fresh vegetables and spices into the authentic Korean stews, noodle dishes, and specialties lauded by reporters from Star Advisor. Patrons can enjoy the airy dining room while sampling traditional dishes such as spicy chopped chicken stew, savory kimchi pancakes, and tangy barbeque chicken. The restaurant also recently began serving alcoholic beverages.

Denver's Tribute
World AIDS Day honors victims
It's isn't a celebration, exactly. But World AIDS Day is a global event that honors the millions who've succumbed to the disease -- and raises awareness about the sustained threat it poses to new generations at home and abroad. In Colorado, that message needs to get through. Since the late '80s, AIDS has claimed more than 5,000 people in our state, and the disease remains a leading killer of people of color. Women, in particular, have seen their rates of HIV infection surge over the last decade. Today, Denver will mark the day with a candlelight vigil in City Park. At sundown, observers will be arranged to form the word "One" -- which symbolizes both the need to recognize AIDS as one disease and the power of individuals to fight it. The public is encouraged to participate in the event as a welcome show of unity in divisive times. For more information, call the Colorado AIDS Project at 303-837-0166. -- Laura Bond
