Oh, my. What is one to make of Mark Medoff's "Prymate," the strangest play of this waning Broadway season? Also, the most overwrought.
There are not many reflective moments in Medoff's unlikely drama, which opened Wednesday at Broadway's Longacre Theatre. Recrimination seems to be the main topic of conversation, whether that talk is spoken or delivered in American Sign Language.
Our combatants are two scientists: Esther, a deaf anthropologist (played by Phyllis Frelich), and Avrum, an ambitious geneticist (James Naughton) who has his eye on the Nobel Prize. At one time, they were lovers. Now, they just fight.
Their quarrel is over an aging, sickly, 350-pound gorilla named Graham, a creature spirited away by Esther and now living with her in the New Mexico wilderness. Avrum wants him back in the lab where he can use the animal in AIDS research. Esther has bigger dreams for the ape; she has taught him a bit of sign language.
What makes all this more than a little unusual is that Graham is played by a black actor, Andre De Shields, best known for his roles in such musicals as "The Wiz" and "Ain't Misbehavin'."
At first, it's startling and more than a bit unnerving to see De Shields grunt, grimace and then scamper around the stage on all fours, perpetuating what could be mistaken for racial stereotypes. Yet the actor, dressed in a dark T-shirt and shorts and wearing black leather shoes and gloves, artfully shucks off such hateful images.
De Shields has always had a graceful presence, and he uses his innate physicality and gift for mime to bring the gorilla to life.
Alas, Medoff, author of the Tony-winning "Children of a Lesser God" and "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder," has more on his mind in director Edwin Sherin's hyper, melodramatic production.
Among other things, "Prymate" wants to be taken seriously as a debate about the ethics of animal testing, but the arguments start at such a high pitch that they have nowhere to go - except up in decibel level.
The play's more thought-provoking aspects are forever overwhelmed by the plot's sudsier aspects, which includes the introduction of an interpreter named Allison (Heather Tom). She's a nubile young woman with innumerable body piercings and a wild past that plays an important role in the evening's ludicrous conclusion.
Allison has come along to translate Esther's signings for Avrum and gets caught in their bitter crossfire. She also attracts the attention of Graham, whose advances, at one point, get quite sexual. Their resolution can't be described here. Let's just say we've come a long way from the days of King Kong and Fay Wray.
Medoff's dialogue is unsubtle, often crude and, what's worse, unbelievable.
Naughton gives a blustery performance as the unlikable Avrum, and Frelich is equally agitated as Esther. Tom seems stymied by her preposterous role, which is more plot point than real person. Only DeShields manages to maintain his dignity. He's the most human creature in this theatrically primitive "Prymate."
In nearly three decades of professional theatergoing, I don't think I've ever seen a play worse than Mark Medoff's "Prymate."
Admittedly, and to my eternal regret, I missed "Moose Murders."
But, reportedly, that at least provided amusement. "Prymate" just stuns you with its awfulness.
A deaf scientist (Phyllis Frelich), who once had an affair with her power-hungry boss (James Naughton), has taken a gorilla he has infected with the AIDS virus from the laboratory. She and the gorilla (Andre de Shields), which she has taught American Sign Language, hide out in the desert near Santa Fe.
The evil scientist has tracked them down and arrives with a young woman (Heather Tom) more fluent in ASL than he to lure his former colleague and the emphysema-afflicted ape back to the lab, where he will perform further experiments.
Are you still with me?
The plot grows increasingly grotesque as the characters turn on one another. At one point, the ape "marks" the interpreter and (for reasons not entirely clear) forces her to masturbate him. By the end of the play, all but one of the characters have AIDS.
The play was done a few months ago on a college campus, where doubtless its B-movie plot materials passed for daring. Most of its plot turns are merely disgusting, and the fact that it was whisked from Tallahassee, Fla., to Broadway is an indication of how desperate producers are.
Director Ed Sherin's amateurish production does nothing to improve Medoff's crude script.
Naughton plays the scientist who is bent on winning a Nobel Prize less like an idealist than a swaggering salesman aiming for a free trip to the Poconos if he sells the most cars.
De Shields uses his skills as a dancer to make the ape graceful. (Let's not even go into the issue of whether an African-American should be cast in such a role.)
When she won a Tony in Medoff's "Children of a Lesser God" 24 years ago, there was something novel about Frelich's performing in sign language. Not being able to speak, however, fairly forces her to exaggerate all her emotional responses, which quickly proves wearing.
The play makes no sense when she and the interpreter, convincingly played by Tom, sign their conversation and Tom must translate it for the audience's benefit.
To call it a play dignifies what is merely an irritating piling-on of outrages. Sometimes you have to struggle to find just the right word to describe a piece of theater. In this case, it's easy:
The word is "atrocious."
The 2003/2004 Broadway season officially closed last night with the arrival of Mark Medoff's "Prymate" at the Longacre Theatre.
Apparently, they saved the worst till last.
There have been worse plays on Broadway - "Moose Murders" comes to mind, and something about 35 years ago called "Fire." Or perhaps it was "Fever." Whatever.
But "Prymate" - presumably an exposition of the rights of animals as opposed to the rights of human beings, a worthy enough subject - gets no serious discussion in a play as ramshackle and doomed as a grass hut in a hurricane.
Medoff is best known for his forceful, Tony Award-winning drama, "Children of a Lesser God," which, like "Prymate," starred the deaf actress Phyllis Frelich.
In "Prymate" she plays a deaf-mute anthropologist who, in the wilderness of New Mexico, has taught a gorilla named Graham (Andre De Shields) to communicate, moderately well, in American Sign Language.
Her former lover, Avrum (James Naughton), a medical researcher seeking a cure for AIDS, has a private detective track down the place where she and Graham are hiding out.
Accompanied by Allison (Heather Tom), a comely sign-language translator, Avrum arrives, bearing a sixpack of beer as a peace offering, at the adobe house where Esther and her remarkably tame, if occasionally savage, gorilla live in peace.
Avrum has a hidden motive: He wants to take Graham back to town for his AIDS research. Avrum also has a secret: When all three were living together, Avrum, for research purposes, infected Graham with HIV.
The plot gets crazier as it thickens. Suffice it to say that eventually the biter gets bit.
The illogicality and questionable science involved is manifest. The play is not merely stymied by its theme but by the fact that virtually the whole story has to be spun out both in sign language and the neutral monotonous voice of translation.
Edwin Sherin, a director of distinction, can make little sense of this farrago, originally produced by the Florida State University School of Theater in Tallahassee, where, perhaps not by chance, Medoff teaches.
The unattractive and cluttered setting is by Robert Steinberg, who happens to be Frelich's husband, and the anonymously styled costumes are by Colleen Muscha.
The actors do their best; they always do. De Shields makes a noble gorilla in the mists of Medoff's creation, sustaining with surprising dignity simulated scenes of urination and masturbation.
As for Frelich - she is an actress of smiling charm and enormous passion made all the more enormous by having to be expressed in flailing sign language.
The normally doughty and admirable Naughton looked lost but game as the AIDS researcher, yet Heather Tom (who's won two Emmys for her role in "The Young and the Restless") stood up to the slings and arrows of the play with fortitude.
But why bother? "Prymate" is not prime time. And shouldn't it be "Primate"? Unless the title is meant as a pun, as in "prying mate."
If so, the pun is as bad as the play, and almost as silly.
What is going on when a play stuffed with crises, controversies, and sex -- from anxious jokes about big breasts and small penises to simulated masturbation -- leaves one feeling dull and almost indifferent?
Mark Medoff's ''Prymate'' opened last night at the Longacre Theater amid a mild furor caused by casting a black actor as a gorilla who sexually assaults a young blond woman. I wish the play's craft and intellect equaled its knack for publicity and its earnest but confused ambitions.
Of the passion-stirring issues ''Prymate'' takes up, the most genuinely affecting is the relationship between humans and animals. Are they to be treated as lower species and used as we see fit? Or are we just starting to learn the intricacies of their intelligence, their emotions, their capacities?
Mr. Medoff also looks at AIDS, the ethics of scientific experiments, masculine sexual violence and feminine sexual vengeance. He and his director, Edwin Sherin, handle each with a dogged realism and sudden bouts of heavy symbolism.
The first few moments of the play unfold in silence. We see the gorilla (played with real physical acuteness, even delicacy, by André De Shields) and a woman (Phyllis Frelich) in a rocky camp. They speak in sign language. He makes a series of small sounds (inquiry, acquiescence) that advance the conversation. They even do a little swing dancing. Enter the tall, white-haired, brazenly self-assured Avrum (James Naughton) and the nervous, much younger Allison (Heather Tom) in a black pantsuit that shows how out of place she is in the wilderness of New Mexico. They are searching for Esther (the woman) and Graham (the gorilla).
Esther and Avrum are important scientists who once shared a lab and a life. He is a geneticist looking for the cure for AIDS, and for the Nobel Prize. To that end he has been infecting chimpanzees with H.I.V. Esther is a linguist and anthropologist, doing important work with autistic children and the mentally disabled.
Avrum considers everything in the lab his property, from instruments to animals. Esther considers Graham, who has been with her for 23 years, her ''moral and maternal responsibility.'' When Avrum decides to use Graham in his experiments, Esther rebels and runs off to the wilderness with the aging gorilla. Now Avrum has tracked her down and they argue fiercely over scientific ethics and the rights and wrongs of their affair. But they must argue through Allison, a sign language interpreter, for Esther is a deaf-mute -- ''the first deafie to get a Ph.D from Stanford,'' as she says bitterly. (Ms. Frelich, a founding member of the National Theater of the Deaf, played the leading role in Mr. Medoff's Tony-winning play, ''Children of a Lesser God.'')
When Graham re-enters, he is wary of Avrum, and drawn to Allison. Multiple conversation channels are set going. Graham and Esther sign and make sounds. Allison signs and talks. Avrum talks, shouts and occasionally signs. This is theatrically interesting. Subtle writing and supple direction would have made it fascinating.
Mr. De Shields is a resourceful actor. It is touching to watch Graham sign carefully with Esther then lope about gracefully and pause to listen for sounds we can't hear. The urination and masturbation scene between Graham and Allison is a set-up; not literally unbelievable but shamelessly manipulative. We are watching a man pretending to be an ape assault a woman in ways that men often do.
How could we not be upset, and how could there not be more layers of discomfort or distress when the actor looks so African and the woman looks so Nordic?
In terms of plot, everything comes down to power, desire and revenge in the most primal way. It all feels predestined. Allison's youth and sensuality must stir Esther's envy and Avrum's vanity. Avrum and Esther must hate and love each other with equally intensity. Graham and Allison must re-enact a more literate but literal version of that fatal encounter between King Kong and Fay Wray's Ann Darrow.
There are some welcome complications. Esther is an intelligent, strong-willed scientist after all; that's still a fresh character in drama. Ms. Frelich makes us feel these qualities. Still, I wish she weren't inclined to make her enthusiasm a little pert and her anger a little coy in a girlish, hands-on-hips-head-tossing way. Was there some unease on part of director and actress about the leading woman being thoroughly unglamorous and middle aged?
Mr. Naughton is brash and highhanded; neither incompetent nor surprising. Ms. Tom has been involved with this play since its premiere in Florida last February. But most of her work has been done in television. Her voice is small, and her emotions feel small even when they are supposed to take on a sudden fearsome power.
After the urination and masturbation scene, Mr. Medoff offers one more plot twist that is meant to invert this all-too-familiar scenario. It is just as manipulative, and pretty threadbare in its own right. And then, after working so hard to be bold, he settles for a safe conventional ending.
I hope ''Prymate'' does the animal rights movement some good. I wish it did more for theatergoers.
Historians, please note: Whatever other generalizations will be made about the strange Broadway trajectory of 2003-04, let the record show that the season began last July with deaf and hearing actors using American Sign Language in a musical revival of "Big River." And that the season officially closed last night with deaf and hearing actors signing again, this time in "Prymate," Mark Medoff's 90-minute oddity that, along with more dubious distinctions, appears to be Broadway's first play about animal rights.
As someone who belongs to the Gorilla Foundation and receives newsletter transcriptions of Koko's signed conversations about her cat, my impulse is to cut this misadventure some slack. I will resist that impulse.
Before "Prymate" made the trip from Florida State University in Tallahassee to the Longacre Theatre, news focused on the brow-raising casting of Andre De Shields, the Tony Award-winning black actor, as a gorilla. This double-dare challenge to racial stereotyping may turn out to be the least controversial element of the play.
De Shields, who was nurtured in Grotowski-based pre-verbal physicality at Chicago's Organic Theater during the 1960s, knows precisely what he's doing, and he does it with grand conviction. What's offensive is Medoff's use of AIDS as a plot mechanism, a gimmick used merely to propel the story of damaged love between Esther, a linguistic anthropologist who has trained Graham the gorilla for 23 years, and Avrum, a research geneticist who tracks them down in their New Mexico hideout.
The doctor wants to bring Graham back to his lab to be a primate model for work on an AIDS vaccine. This is far from the worst either/or conflict we have encountered in a play. But Medoff, who won the 1980 Tony Award for his breakthrough deaf drama, "Children of a Lesser God," drops that issue without really exploring it. He exploits AIDS via a secret injection and a secret infection, as if it were just another weapon to be used in an adventure story.
Phyllis Frelich, who won a Tony for "Children" and signed as Miss Watson in "Big River," has a frizzy-haired, strong-willed presence as Esther, the raunchy, middle-aged scientist who rescued Graham from the lab to become a happy recluse with him, despite the aging simian's emphysema. In Edwin Sherin's tender, energetic staging on a handsome yellow plateau designed by Robert Steinberg, she and Graham sign, practice ballroom dance and adore one another.
Lucky for everyone, the obnoxious scientist is played by James Naughton, one of the most charming actors ever to play a cad. (He originated the role of the slick lawyer in the hit "Chicago" revival.) All of Naughton's flair cannot save a character more interested in winning the Nobel Prize than saving lives and who, incredibly, says he has never met anyone with AIDS.
Anyone believe this? Esther and Avrum are former lovers, though the heat between them appears to be based primarily on physical pain. He arrives with a signing translator (Heather Tom) who looks like Hemingway and has a secret that conveniently relates to the crisis at hand.
When the soaper plot gets too annoying, we take pleasure in De Shields. No gorilla suits for this guy. Wearing simple brown Besmuda shorts and a shirt (costumes by Colleen Muscha), he walks on knuckles covered by leather gloves and balances on toes covered by soft boxer shoes. He is convincing when Graham urinates on the new girl as a sexual gesture. He also makes a persuasive sound of gorilla orgasm. Best we ever heard on Broadway.
Call out the bomb squad! Connoisseurs of see-it-or-regret-it theatrical disasters will want to make tracks to the Longacre Theater, and fast, to catch "Prymate," the last and the least of the season's Broadway offerings. Mark Medoff's woozy play mixes a supposedly probing animal-rights and medical-ethics debate with a tale of love and lust among an oddly assorted social set: two middle-aged scientists (one deaf), a comely sign-language interpreter and a horny gorilla. Or was it an ape? Whatever. Aiming earnestly at provocative, "Prymate" is merely -- and yet spectacularly -- ludicrous.
The set by Robert Steinberg, depicting a strangely well-appointed outpost in "the wilderness of southwestern New Mexico," appears to be an exact replica of a faux habitat in a natural history museum, built to showcase the latest in the taxidermist's art. This proves to be unexpectedly apt, for while they are a lot more animated than the stuffed inhabitants of such climes, the humans in "Prymate" are hardly more lifelike. A play is in serious trouble when the most sensitively written character onstage moves on all fours and has a vocabulary of about 400 signed words.
This would be Graham, the gorilla played by Andre de Shields, who has been saved from the perils of scientific research by his loving caretaker Esther (Phyllis Frelich). Esther, "the famous linguist-anthropologist," essentially kidnapped Graham from the lab of her ex-lover, Avrum (James Naughton), an AIDS researcher. (One must conclude that Simian Workers Local 1 was asleep at the wheel as poor Graham was being conscripted for double duty in the realm of science.)
The cozy little domestic menage established by Graham and Esther is threatened when Avrum arrives from over the bluff, seeking to drag the primate back to the lab and Esther back to bed.
Since Esther is hearing-impaired and Graham communicates only through his limited repertoire of signs (including one for "foreplay," I'm here to tell you), Avrum has, fortunately for the audience, brought along Allison (Heather Tom) to interpret for all. Then again, perhaps it's not so fortunate; the play would be more palatable for the hearing members of the audience if Medoff's coarse-grained dialogue were not actually spoken. It is hardly improved by the monotone delivery of Tom, a TV soap actress.
Like it or not, Tom laboriously translates every last, limp witticism in the interplay between Esther and Avrum, which moves in sitcomic fashion from feisty antagonism to shared remembrances of their past. It also takes in some seriously strange byways: Folks itching to learn the sign language for useful queries such as "Whose toes did I suck?" and "What happened to that leopard-skin thong I bought you?" have come to the right show.
But such tender intimacies are only intermittent. Perhaps due to her co-habitation with another species, Esther appears to have picked up some strange habits: She greets her ex by giving his hand a fierce bite, and later engages in her preferred brand of foreplay by squeezing his nipples until he yelps. Meantime, Graham takes a shine to Allison, although his social skills aren't much more polished than Esther's. "Want touch breast girl," he signs, shortly after they are introduced.
One of Medoff's ambitions is, clearly, to examine how mating rituals of these two species both diverge and coalesce, to dissect those dark urges that unite all species. Given that the various couplings exhibited here -- Esther and Avrum, Avrum and Allison, and, yes, Graham and Allison -- are all about as erotically stimulating as a Levitra commercial, the natural conclusion is that both species should just give up the nasty business, forthwith.
Nor are the play's intellectual discussions invigorating. Medoff presumably wants us to think hard about the moral dilemmas inherent in the use of animals for scientific research. But, aside from fur-hating PETA freaks who are likely to be the play's only sympathetic aud, few would concur with Esther's bold assertion that the search for an AIDS cure is as nothing weighed against the prospect of curtailing the golden years of one asthmatic gorilla. "Should his research be more important than mine?" she whines to Allison. "Take the $100 million a year spent on AIDS research and convince stupid goddamn human beings to use clean needles and condoms."
Then again, the Nobel-hungry Avrum isn't the most persuasive spokesman for the value of AIDS research either, given as he is to ruminating thusly: "Sometimes I wonder if AIDS is nature's way of dealing with human folly since we're unable -- or won't -- do it ourselves. If the species is to survive past the midpoint of this new century, there will have to be selective genocide."
With scientists like these, who needs fundamentalists?
As befits a play of such flagrantly muddled ideas, the plot takes a series of increasingly sensational turns that are too deliciously absurd to disclose. And director Edwin Sherin's cast delivers them each with the theatrical equivalent of a straight face -- although Frelich, a Tony winner for Medoff's "Children of a Lesser God," mugs so insistently that her face is all too rarely immobile. It's a sadly strained performance, in bewildering contrast to her far subtler work, on a smaller scale, in the season's earlier revival of "Big River," featuring both deaf and hearing actors.
But none of the performers escapes with dignity fully intact here. Certainly not Naughton, who gives a performance so wooden you half expect Graham to start stripping the bark off to make a meal of him.
Pre-opening controversy has, of course, focused on the disquieting implications of an African-American actor portraying a gorilla. And the sight of de Shields scampering around on hands and knees, screeching shrilly, is indeed initially unsettling. But he must be given credit for the perf's persuasiveness and integrity -- even if there are a few occasions on which this gorilla evinces suspiciously well-honed comic instincts. And to take offense at de Shields' casting is like complaining that you're seasick when the ship is sinking.

a week of 80 degree weather in this zone in late winter is not good. Things are breaking dormancy that shouldn't. The female flowers on the hazlenuts are opening. They are tiny, about the size of a match head but so pretty with their deep red color. Normally, they would not open until late April but the male catkins are shedding pollen like mad so they think the time is right.
In the last 85 years, I've seen blizzards in May. True, they melted readily but we can still have zero temps. in April. Even the sandhill cranes are confused by this, the winter that never was. They normally would stay around for at least 3 more weeks, fattening up for the long journey to the arctic but they seem to think that spring is really here and some flocks are going north. They should put on another pound at least for the trip. On the plus side we have been eating so much spinach that our complexion might be tinted a bit green just in time for St. Patricks day. I planted a 3 foot row of radishes about a week ago and some tops are peeking through the soil. |

Gandle, I'm amazed at what you know and what you observe. Re your comment"eating so much spinach that our complexion might be tinted a bit green just in time for St. Patricks day". I remember as a young bride that my mother in law was on a kick on juicing carrots and "offering" the juice to me. I drank it and I turned orange in some places. Especially my eyes and skin. I eventually learned that moderation and balance was the key. |
Im not happy with this unseasonable heat either. I went out and gathered all the mantis cocoons i could find and put them in the fridge and will bring them out again in May. Ive seen them hatch with abnormal high temps in April and then die when the temps returned to normal. Plus there isnt much for them to eat...besides other mantis. |
I've seen Sandhill Cranes mentioned a number of times on this forum. Could maybe someone post a picture? I have no idea what they are. |
Big birds...secretive except when they are migrating by the masses. |

Things got green in a hurry around here. Need to cut grass as soon as the mower don't sink into the ground, everything is soaking wet. As fare as temps go, I should plant seeds for lettuce and peas, but the ground is too wet for turning. The dogwoods are opening up but the petals are not grown enough, usually they open mid to end of April. Have not been around much, too much going on with family. |

Diablo 3 Blue Posts » Auction House e-mails displaying incorrect fees (F
| Hey guys! I wanted to post this right away to let you know that Blizzard has resolved an issue with our auction house transaction e-mails. For the past few days, players were receiving e-mails stating that they were being charged auction house fees twice. All new e-mails you receive from Blizzard regarding items you sell on the auction house will now correctly list out the fees and total earnings. After completing our full investigation, we have confirmed that there was never a problem with the real money auction house itself. Players were not charged incorrect fee amounts. Players will receive the correct amount of money when their payments clear, which in some cases should be a little more than the e-mails sent between 10/22 and 10/24 say. Thank you very much for your patience as Blizzard worked to fix this issue. |

Obviously, user-privilege use of prefix-portage is sort the main way, as far as I can tell, that people use it right now. As a hack -- and as I mainly work on Darwin, atm -- I've been wrapping or skipping chown/chmod/fperms/etceteras calls in 'if [ "${KERNEL}" == "Darwin" ]', and ewarn'ng that "this operation is not happening'. This has worked -- as a hack --but raises some questions: if a package requires a change of permission for security reasons, especially, it can be considered blatantly wrong to _not_ be doing the change of permissions. Also, I'd like prefix-portage to work in the classic way as root, or with sudo, as well as fully working for a normal, non-privileged user. Now, a number of packages simply want to ensure that they have a user to run as, and the directories/homes/whatever are owned by that user. In this case, working with user privileges, it's easy enough to ensure installed files bear the permissions of the user running emerge. For packages that practically *require* permission changes, I suggest something like the following; if we can inject userpriv as the 'default' into FEATURES, we can simply RESTRICT these temperamental- security-wise ebuilds with userpriv. If we do something like the above, we can easily move all the chown/ chmod/fperms calls to "echown, echmod, efperms" and have these decisions happen in the background (or tossing an error that sudo is required or something). Specifics aside, I'd like to know if this is generally the idea most of us have in our heads about how prefix-portage should work. And then, specifically, I wonder if we can co-opt 'userpriv' in that way, since it seems pretty apt to be used in this fashion. __armando aka fafhrd -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGHNzg1uuRqaoClwIRAhBUAJoCap/qHrjoWgmqX13hUmNhTFWHEgCeJT3D AlUApd1EWMQ1DhskjYjVvP4= =s+bC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

Beautiful, high quality rug! Looks fantastic as an accent rug in my livingroom.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Much darker than I had envisioned. Rug appears cheap looking - obviously acrylic and not wool. Too much hassle to wrap up and return as it came wrapped tightly in plastic.

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I'm very happy with my new rug, it look's great in my living room.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I received my rug today and I am extremely pleased with the product. The description and photo of the rug online is very accurate to the actual product. I would absolutely recommend this rug if you are looking for a nice leopard print. Cons: it is not very thick, but I did not want a super thick rug due to a door that would catch on it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I ORDERED THIS RUG ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE LEOPARD PRINT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. I RECEIVED IT AND LOVED IT. ON THE PICTURE THEY SHOW A BLACK BORDER WITH LEOPARD AND THE BLACK CENTER, BUT WHEN I RECEIVED IT WAS A BLACK BORDER WITH THE WHOLE CENTER IN LEOPARD, HOWEVER, I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS VERY PRETTY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS RUG TO ANYONE WHO LOVES A BEAUTIFUL LEOPARD PRINT. I THINK SOME LEOPARD PRINT IS MUCH PRETTIER THAN OTHERS. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LOOK.

How Hurricane Sandy Will Effect The Art Insurance Industry
ArtNews, Michelle Falkenstein
As Hurricane Sandy approached New York City in late October last year, the residents in Zone A—the low-lying areas with the most potential for flooding—were ordered to evacuate by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Based on its geographic footprint, Zone A could be an abbreviation for Zone Art: it includes Chelsea, home to one of the world's largest concentrations of contemporary art galleries, as well as Red Hook in Brooklyn and Long Island City in Queens, places teeming with art-storage facilities and artists' studios. So the people left, and the art, for the most part, remained. Then the storm came.
The next day, Jennifer Schipf, an art-insurance underwriter for the XL Group, visited Chelsea to see how her clients had fared. "It was like a ghost town," she recalls. "It was very disturbing to walk through water to see the art. The gallerists were distraught, like deer in headlights." For weeks, art lay on gallery floors and rested on blocks in an attempt to dry it out; conservators worked frantically to salvage what they could from the effects of mold, salt water, and chemical residue.

I really should read documentation a little more carefully rather than skimming.
My recent synth OS upgrade contained TWO OS files. One for models containing the KORE 64 DIMM installed, and one for those without. For some strange inexplicable reason, I thought my particular model HAD it installed but upon opening up the back panel to reseat the DIMM, I found it wasn't there and never had been.
A quick hard reset to delete the proprietary objects and a reinstall of the proper OS file fixed the issue, but NOW I want the KORE 64 upgrade. It's got tons more sounds of all types from orchestral to vintage synths, guitars, basses and drum kits.
Eh, you live and learn and fortunately didn't do any damage to my baby.
Time for a relaxing mug o' tea.
Still time for people to buy my CD hard copy, or via iTunes and similar if you wanna go with a digital version. You don't get the nice informative insert that way though.

T-handle on Blocks
In a past entry, I provided a video demonstration of a homemade T-handle. Since posting the video, I've received several emails regarding clearance on the bottom of the swing. Some readers mentioned that they cannot swing as low as they'd like without the T-handle brushing the ground. After all, the 12 inch piece of pipe is longer than what you may be accustomed to when swinging a dumbbell or kettlebell.
If you've had a similar problem, a simple adjustment can be made by swinging atop blocks. In the image above, I've placed two cinder blocks side by side (two on each side). I use two blocks per each side as two offers a much more stable feel when compared to a single block. I don't want to worry about footing when working with heavy loads.
With these blocks, I can swing heavy loads with no concern over brushing the ground. Personally, I've never had a problem hitting the ground, but the blocks allow you to get even lower on the bottom (if you wish), which offers unique benefits as well.
For more information regarding the T-handle (including instructions for building one), please refer to the link below:

You can also go the opposite way and use a shorter loading pin. I made mine with an 8″ rather than a 12″ pipe. No you can't load as much weight on it, but I use mine mainly as a sub for a 24kg kettlebell. Even then, with 25lb standard plates, I could get at least 100 – 150lbs on it. Good enough for my needs.
Administrator March 26th, 2009 1:32 pm
I couldn't fit enough 25′s on an 8 inch piece. I actually like the feel of the 12, but as long as you've found something that works for you, that is all that matters.

Clever idea!
Javier March 27th, 2009 2:53 am
I took a "D" handle, a carabiner clip and a link of chain to make an implement for swings. The plates don't stack you line them up next to each other. The height off the floor is always the same and you adjust the chain to the thickness of the plates you have. I can use one hand or two on the handle. Another nice feature is being able to do one-arm presses with it. But, don't try to snatch it…ouch!
I have a couple of pics, but couldn't find where to post them.

Akron is located in northwest Hale County in the west-central part of Alabama. It has a mayor/city council form of government. Akron is the hometown of Riggs Stephenson, who played major-league baseball
for the Cleveland Indians (1921-1925) and Chicago Cubs (1926-1934), retiring with a .336 batting average. The name Akron derives
from the Greek word for "summit" or "high point."
Akron was established in 1870 by the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad (now the Alabama Great Southern Railroad) on its line between Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Meridian, Mississippi. The town prospered from its location and was home
to two stores by 1882. In 1906, the owner of a large plantation sold his land to a development company, and a construction boom followed; soon the town had a dozen stores, two hotels, a
drugstore, two blacksmith shops, and a cotton gin. A new sawmill added lumber to the bales of cotton already being shipped out of town. By 1916, Akron had added a second
cotton gin. Akron was incorporated in March 1918. The public library opened in 1937, and the Akron Manufacturing Company,
a garment manufacturer, opened in 1964. Akron's economy today depends primarily on farming, with the main crop being soybeans.
Timber is still shipped from the area.
Akron's population according to the 2010 Census was 356. Of that number, 86.5 percent of respondents identified themselves
as African American, 13.2 percent as white, 0.3 percent as Hispanic or Latino, and 0.3 percent as two or more races. The town's
median household income, according to 2010 estimates, was $26,375, and the per capita income was $14,797.
According to 2010 Census estimates, the work force in Akron was divided among the following industrial categories:
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (35.0 percent)
· Manufacturing (25.2 percent)
· Wholesale trade (11.4 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (4.9 percent)
· Public administration (4.9 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (4.1 percent)
· Construction (4.1 percent)
· Finance, insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (4.1 percent)
· Retail trade (3.3 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing and utilities (3.3 percent)
Schools in Akron are part of the Hale County school system; the town has approximately 318 students and 19 teachers in one
Local roads connect Akron with State Highway 60, which runs northeast-southwest, less than a mile southeast of town. The Norfolk
Southern Corporation, parent company of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, operates a rail line through Akron.
Events and Places of Interest
Tanglewood (1859), a historic plantation listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located about five miles east
of Akron. It is currently part of the 480-acre J. Nicholene Bishop Biological Station, the center of the University of Alabama's natural resources management curriculum.

Ford Mustang Prices Paid and Buying Experience
grumblesdclown Posts: 20
zippo300z Posts: 1I plan on buying a mustang gt also. Just waiting for stonger incentives (they suck right now). I'm also a car salesman (at a ford dealership). Making dealerships compete eachother for a sale is totally unecessary. A salesman gets paid commission not hourly. Here's how you're gonna save yourself time and money not to mention the salesmans time. Find out which dealership has the exact one you're looking for(it won't work if they have to dealer trade). X-plan is usually a couple of hundred dollars over invoice. Every vehicle has what's called "holdback". On a mustang gt, it's normally around 500-1000 dollars.Here's what you're going to do.
Assure the salesman that he's gonna get the sale( don't treat the salesman like crap, we work hard just like everybody else). When you work numbers inside, let him present the numbers first. Ask "politely" to pull the invoice sheet and find out how much the hold back is. FOR EXAMPLE...if MSRP is $30,000, ivoice might be $28,000. If the holdback is $850, take $500 of it (don't be greedy) and subtract it from the invoice. Now you're buying the car at $27,500 plus whatever rebate or bonus cash is being offered at the time ( a $1000 for a GT coupe = $26,500 +TTL). When a salesman sells at X-plan or below invoice, he's going to get a "mini"( $100 for selling a $30,000 car ). Get a full tank of gas and a detail. When your salesman delivers the vehicle....you slip him $100. It's the least you can do for him because the salesman is going to get it from the manager. Everybody wins (except the dealership), you get the exact car you want at a stupid low price and the salesman gets an extra $100 from you. As far as "back ends" and interest rates...you're on your own. Just make sure your credit score is high enough to purchase a vehicle and it's not all for nothing. I wouldn't purchase this month because the incentives suck. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ALL OUT. -
mschmal Posts: 1,757Rumor has it that incentives on Mustang are coming as sales are off since the start of 2007.
Also, not all dealers sell below invoice, and once a sales man finds out he has the car you want, why should he sell it below invoice.
With inventories as low as they are. Dealers can be pretty sure they are going to sell every Mustang they have so there is not the same kind of incentive to take a short deal as there was 2 years ago before the "Family Plan" with employee pricing.
Also not all dealers have the same pay plan as Zippos. I get salary plus commission and no "minis".

grumblesdclown Posts: 20We searched five states on Ford's website (which, btw, is a pita) and couldn't find a reasonable in-stock match to what we wanted. We weeded-out a lot of dealerships through email & phone, and talked to several that we liked. Even if they have better resources than the Ford website, they still couldn't find an in-stock close match. Most prices on an ordered car ranged from invoice to inv+$500; rebates would apply if available when delivered. Of course, a lot of the weeded-out dealers said things such as, "we're very competitive, when you come in, we'll prove it" and "usually close to sticker, but come-on down, we'll talk!"
In the end, we ordered exactly what we wanted for invoice plus TTL and minus any rebates/incentives available when delivered. TTL matches DMV charges - no upcharges or extra fees. Around here, you have to watch for that. -
capecodder2 Posts: 3I have test driven two 2007 GT manual convertibles. One at Wareham Ford and one at Bonnell Ford. The first one shifted smoothly but the front end vibrated. The second one shifted really rough like driving a different model. So, I'm a little discouraged...also don't want to buy ahead of additional incentives. Your final price of $27,515 seems very good...that is for the ragtop, right?
blackandblue Posts: 66What better incentives are you waiting for? The GT has $1,000 cash back plus free automatic transmission. There might be 0% financing but probably just on the v6 not the GT. Last spring they didn't have anything on the GT's. Do you know something that we don't. I'm thinking about making an offer on a GT/CS and I appreciate your advice.
jdt141 Posts: 8better deals? really?
1000 retail customer cash
645 auto trans
995 bonus customer cash.
2640 off?? total?? can it get much better???? if you want a car today, seems like its the thing to do...
now after browsing the vehicles out there, they don't have one even close to what i want.... so i'll have to order and be left with whatever they're offering when the car comes in....I see some posts on a dealer allocation?? what is that? -
mschmal Posts: 1,757Dealers can throw as many cars as they want into the order bank but the factory will only schedule a car for production if the ordering dealer has a unit of allocation.
Just make sure your dealer uses a priority of 10.
Make sure you discuss any options that are under commodities restriction. Usually the 18" wheels are in limited availability. This way you can have a more realistic idea of when your car might come in.
My Mustang V6 took about 8 weeks to get because I ordered manual trans.

cat2k Posts: 1Has anybody received all three rebates? I was told at the dealer today that you could take the $1000+$645 or the $1000+$995 but not all three rebates.
Very interested to know, since I am having a Mustang GT Auto being delivered next week from another dealer. Still think I am getting a good price with $1995 cash back and X-plan pricing. -

cptchetco Posts: 32I know this is not what you are asking, but it is relevant.
1968 bought 1966 '66 6cyl convert for $3600 w/11k miles. sold in 1971 for $3500.
1972 bought new Convert (Q code) for $4,000: still have it; appraised $34,000.
1989 Convert 5L 5spd bought 1990 $9,000 (21k miles)sold 1996 (125k miles)for $7,000 to a friend who still has it.
1983 Convert 6cyl Pd $1,000 March '06 (133k Miles)sold Aug 06 for $3250 (141k miles).
Mustang Converts have great resale value and are damn fun to own and drive, particularily the performance models. -
vincap28 Posts: 4Hey,
I am looking into purchasing 2007 Mustang GT. I had a chance to rent one for two days while on a business trip. It was an automatic and I was disappointed with the hesitation when I stepped on the gas. I thought it was very noticeable. I have since learned that it is because of the "electronic" throttle. I test drove a stick a few weeks ago and don't recall this hesitation. Does the stick not have electronic throttle? Please send me your experiences or thoughts on this issue.

smeadows1978 Posts: 10Hi cappy53,
Just last week I had the fuel pump replaced in my 05 V6 because of the throttle lag issue. Apparently there is a technical service bulletin specifically for this issue. I also found a thread on this Mustang forum about a way to "reset" the electronic throttle (you have to put the key in a certain position, depress the throttle very slowly, then drive the wheels off the car to reset). I did not notice a difference after the reset but since the pump was replaced its been like a different car and in a GOOD way. I have not driven the GT or a manual so I can't say for sure if they have the same hesitation. If I ever upgrade, I will definitely get the manual just because it seems like more fun to drive! -
blackandblue Posts: 66They might be but I couldn't wait. I made the dealer an offer on a GT/CS I've been eye balling for a while and he took it. Basically $1,000 under invoice with the free auto ($995) plus $1,000 rebate. They might have better incentives next month but I think it's the end of the 1st quarter and sales are down and they need to sell cars. I am very happy with my deal, and get the car on Wed.
capecodder2 Posts: 3Purchased the V6 Convertible with Pony package, performance package, comfort group, cloth top & boot, and 5-speed. Sticker was $30,190. Final deal was $26,000. Test drove two GTs but settled on the V6 which got 29 miles to the gallon on the highway trip home. Dealer was Metro Ford on Rte 44 in Massachusetts. Enjoyed the buying experience...they let you take the car out alone (no salesman). They didn't track you to sell you additional warranties, Lojack, etc. Having owned convertibles in the past, I am impressed with how little wind noise the mustang produces. Shaker 500 audio is good enough for me. I highly recommend buying the car with the cloth top! Metro was the first dealership (out of six) where I saw any 2007 with a cloth top...dramatic improvement to the look of the car!!
cccompson Posts: 2,388It sounds like you paid close to sticker which was too much given what the market was then for automatics. I bought the same thing in convertible form (approximately $5000 more - sticker was $35,030) and my payments are $439.25 to Ford Credit.
But why worry about it - what's done is done. Enjoy! -
foghorn2 Posts: 8Some of the mustang forums are saying that its more of the same incentives, but they can be puppets saying that so current sales won't hurt.
If its more of the same, its better just to wait for the order banks to open for '08 models. They will ambient lighting and the "grabber blue" color!
With the current incentives, buying a '07 is instant depreciation when you sign. The only way I'll buy a Mustang now is either tomorrow if they have better incentives/apr to make up for the depreciation, or wait and order a '08 just the way I want it. -
jdt141 Posts: 8they're probably doing a couple of things at corporate... racking up the sales over the last month and then making the best determination for each vehicle what the incentives for the next month are... when you think about it, that's a lot of data to round up... vehicles on the lot, vehicles/parts on the line or in their j.i.t. system.... there's a lot that goes into it. at the end of the day, they've got to do this for each and every ford, lincoln, and mercury vehicle they sell. typically they announce the incentives early in the month. we should see them this week i hope

I failed to seed with winter rye last fall, and then we had an incredibly wet winter here in north Texas. As a result, the dogs pretty much ran off EVERYTHING in the back acre down to bare dirt, and now that spring is here, it's pretty clear that I've got no summer grass coming up in the back. Just weeds.
I'm aware that getting grass back into the area is my best long-term solution. But in the meantime, three things that used to just be a problem along the back of the property line have taken over the better part of an acre. This is too much to go pulling by hand, and too much to hit with roundup or something like that. I don't know what these things are, but I do know that one of them produces, later in the year, extremely hard, sharp thorns. Since these plants have taken over the entire area, if we get to the thorn stage, I won't be able to let the dogs out there at all for many months. So, the goal is to ID them if I can, and figure out the best way to get rid of them asap, before I have an acre of solid thorns. The plants in question are D, E, and F. I suspect that E or F is responsible for the thorns. |
Follow-Up Postings:
For ID, I suggest you take a sample, or email images, to your County's Extension Service office. Or take to a large independent garden center or farm store. |
None of what you have pictured looks like it would produce thorns, unless it was F, and I wouldn't think so, but I don't recognize it--though it looks somewhat familiar and non-thorny. There must be something else. It looks, however, like you have a very nice variety of wild (and escaped) flowers. Can you find any of the thorns from a prior year laying around in an infested area? It would be helpful to see a picture of them. The likely weed that first comes to mind is puncture vine, pictured at the attached address. It has yellow flowers, however, and grows flat on the ground. It is unlikely whatever you have is a grass, and using glyphosate to control them will kill everything including any grass, setting you up for a new weed invasion next year. A broadleaf herbicide will likely take care of them, one containing 2,4-D or dicamba should do the trick without hurting any grass that is present. It will, however, take out the other broadleaved flowers you have there if you just do a general spray. Another option to consider is to graze it off before any thorns are produced. Any goats or sheep in the area you could "borrow" and turn loose for a while this spring? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Puncture vine
I agree that your plants do not look like they would have thorns. However D probably has seeds similar to marigolds. The seeds are pointed and could be confused as a thorn by a non gardener. |
Thanks folks! Last year's thorns were collected pretty completely by the dog's feet...haha...so none to be found this spring. They DO look like puncture vine thorns, and I thought they were puncture vine, but I'll be damned if I can find any puncture vine in the lawn, any time of the year. The good news is that if none of these weeds which has taken over this spring is producing the offending thorns, I feel no real need to poison the acre. I'll just seed with a summer grass, hope for enough rain to get it to germinate, hope some more that we can establish enough grass to push out whatever produces the thorns later in the summer, and enjoy all the new flowers. (The flowers are all brand new, never seen before, and in my yard only, not my neighbors' yards. Best I can figure is that they got seeded this winter by visiting birds. We had a couple of strange "mega flocks" come through this winter, composed of smaller flocks of more than one type of bird. There were grackles, robins, and other birds I did not know, but there might be 3 to 6 different types of birds in the big giant flocks. All of the flowers are roughly surrounding a couple of small groups of trees in the back acre. Since my neighbors don't have trees in the middle of their yards, they weren't getting the birds roosting and depositing seeds, I assume. The still unidentified B is actually kind of pretty, and I'm contemplating moving to one of the beds. The primrose flowers are beautiful, and its too bad the foliage on them is so hideous looking.) |
There is a type of grass comonly called sandburs which have some seeds similar to puncture vine. The ones we have in this area looks like a big leafed crabgrass. However the seed stalk will develop spiny burs as the season progresses. I have seen several different grasses with similar seed's. I don't know the techical terms for the various grasses but some lie close to the ground while others send graceful arching seed heads. You might look for a grass about the time the dogs start collecting the burs. |
maifleur, I think you've given the the answer. Thanks!!!!! Now I know what to keep an eye open for. Reading that this stuff prefers sandy soils also explains why we've had problems just along the very back edge of the property. That's the sandiest part of the property...everything else is pretty dense soil. Found more new stuff today as well. It's certainly going to be an interesting year in the yard. |
Get yourself a couple of books. Wildflowers of Texas, Grasses of Texas, and Weeds of Texas (or the Southwest). These aren't the exact names, but every state/region has them and you will find them invaluable. I often find concentrations of these books at federal visitor's centers at national parks, monuments, etc. Sandbur is an excellent possiblity. If it turns out that sandbur is your problem, you can use a grass herbicide to remove it as soon as you identify the burs forming so your dog won't pick them up (you will kill them before they get large enough to harden and become stickery), and it will preserve your wildflowers to help prevent other weed infestations. |

How accessible are London's top sights?
Read on for useful information about accessibility at favourite London attractions from the London Eye to Tate Modern.
The Eye is one of London's most postcard-friendly sights and a 30-minute trip gives great views of the city. The ticket hall and capsules are wheelchair accessible. Disabled visitors pay a discounted rate with one carer free of charge. Groups of less than four are fast-tracked to the front of the queue. Wheelchairs are available for use and there is an accessible toilet.
It's a treat to be able to roam the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace, which are open to all every summer. And if you require step-free access you can enter in style, by using the front gates (the main visitor entrance is at the side). Wheelchairs can be hired free of charge for the State Rooms, and mobility scooters for use in the gardens. Assistance dogs are welcome and audio guides are compatible with T-coil induction loops, with free guides available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Russian.

Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, St Paul's Cathedral is an iconic feature of London's skyline. Wheelchair users can access the cathedral floor with its sculptures, mosaics and chapels, as well as the crypt – accessible via a lift – where Lord Nelson's tomb lies. Access to the dome galleries up top is by stairs only, but there is a virtual tour of the galleries screened in the crypt that brings it to life. There are 'Touch and Feel' tours for visually impaired visitors and orders of service in Braille. Guide dogs are welcome.

The South Bank is the stretch of the Thames that manages to pack in culture, great dining and drinking options, stunning views and fun street entertainment in less than 4km! The area links the Southbank Centre, National Theatre, Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe and Southwark Cathedral. There are new pavement layouts, better lighting and signage and more seating, access ramps and handrails. A newly laid cobbled but smooth surface has been laid on Clink Street, which retains its traditional feel but makes it easy for everyone to use.
It's hard to believe the Tate Modern has only been open 12 years – it's already an institution and one of Britain's top five most visited attractions. Tate offers a reduced entry to paying exhibitions for disabled visitors, and carers go free. Guide and hearing dogs are welcome, with drinking bowls available from staff. 'Touch tours' are available and certain events have visual descriptions. Ten wheelchairs and two electric scooters are available for hire, bookable in advance.

The Science Museum's collections include an impressive 18th-century steam engine, the Apollo 10 command module and everyday technological marvels from 1750 to the present. Every part of the museum is accessible by ramp or lift (except for a couple of raised walkways). Everything is displayed at just the right height. Tactile signage and touch tours are available for some exhibitions along with large print and braille information. A wheelchair is available for loan. There is ample disabled parking.

I think epcot should get get some kind of futeristic play parade
nah. If epcot gets a parade I think it needs to be in the World Showcase... the future world doesn't have much of a parade route. I also think if epcot gets a new parade, it needs to be something inspiring, amazing, and special like the tapestry parades were.
I have an idea for a parade... it would be called "World of Wonders". I have some ideas that i'm working on... i'll try to post them if i ever remember or finish them...
The Golden age never was the present age but with human liberty we can fulfill the promise and meaning of America. To everyone a chance. To all people, regardless of their birth the right to live, to work, to be themselves, and to become whatever their visions can combine to make them. This is the promise of America...And I foresee the American adventure to continue for a long, long time!
~The American Adventure, EPCOT Center
Are you 23? I am!
I would very much like to see a parade come to World Showcase. I don't have very many ideas for that though. It probably needs to be more serious, because, I mean, it's Epcot. Block Party Bash wouldn't fit. Fab 5 and other characters in general would clash with the park's ideals.
If they decide SpectroMagic is getting a little too tired, I've got an idea. DHS is very weak without a nighttime show when Fantasmic! is only performed on every third blue moon to fall on the third Monday in odd-numbered months (or whatever it is. ) With SpectroMagic out of the way, (while I do love that parade,) there'd be room to have the Hollywood Boulevard Electrical Parade. Similar in content to the MSEP, instead of celebrating classic Disney films, it can celebrate movies of the second Disney Animation Golden Age and after. I don't know whether it would be better to keep the classic Baroque Hoedown soundtrack or create a new, more cinematic soundtrack like Spectro.
Speaking of, I have heard rumors of swapping SpectroMagic for DL's Parade of Dreams one day. Though, then there'd be two Electrical Parades in Disneyland Resort. And Dreamlights and Fantillusion are still going internationally. Has MSEP gotten a run at HKDL? Maybe that's where it should go now.
Animal Kingdom... I know that there was the Rivers of Light nighttime parade that was meant to be performed on Discovery River. That was supposed to be like a lantern parade on the water. Steven Davison was running that project, but it was dropped because making the room for people to watch the parade on the water and widening the pathways would involve destroying a lot of the work that was put into the nature, landscaping, foliage, and horticulture that went into that park's creation. Still, I think there should be something for the evening. Maybe, instead of a parade or fireworks show (that would frighten animals,) maybe some sort of light show would make sense?
Grand Floridian: Sugar Loaf Key Concierge - April 2005
Ft. Wilderness: Moccasin Trail Cabin - August 2009
I would love some very serious yet very heart felt parade like Jubilation in Tokyo Disneyland but with a theme that involves Earth.
Or even if they could build a parade route through the future world area. If the did this they could build a whole very complex lighting, special effects and speaker system throughout the parade route. I could see it now, a futuristic play parade for the day time parade and the Disney electrical Parade at night.

Polypropylene or polypropene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer, made by the chemical industry and used in a wide variety of applications, including packaging, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.
Because of its rugged yet soft feel, polypropylene rope is our preferred material for collars and leads. It is also very resistant to fading, odor and UV deterioration. The polypropylene rope used in Mendota Products' collars and leads is a long lasting, durable yet comfortable feeling material.

The Cooper Car Company Ltd was incorporated by Charles Cooper and his son John in December 1947, pioneering quantity production of racing cars and soon exporting around the world.
Motor racing was an upper class sport until enthusiasts in Bristol founded the 500 Club in 1945, showing that cars powered by single cylinder 500cc motorcycle engines could be made for only £150. In 1946, John Cooper welded the front ends of two Fiat Topolinos back-to-back for full independent suspension and mounted an alcohol-burning, speedway JAP engine behind the driver. Production Coopers were sold in 1948 and dominated Formula 500 by the following year.

Penns Woods Chardonnay Reserve 2007 Fantastic!
Penns Woods Winery is the result of Gino Razzi's lifetime of experience in the world of wine. A respected importer and distributor of wine, Gino is an Italian immigrant from Abruzzo, in southern Italy. He settled in the Delaware County area in 1962, where he was fostered by the area's Italian-American community. Gino served four years in the United States Marines then attended college in California. After graduation, he returned to Pennsylvania to rejoin family and friends.
Originally a successful a wine importer, in 1995, Gino turned his experience towards the craft of winemaking. He finished his first wine in 1997. Symposium, a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo was his first commercially released wine, and was awarded 95 points by Wine Spectator Magazine. In 2002, he began to craft wines from Pennsylvania–grown grapes. To his surprise, he found that great wines can be made in Pennsylvania. Gino decided to purchase the Smithbridge Winery, in 2004, to take advantage of its 25-year-old vines. So, the Penns Woods Winery's story is just starting.
So, this is a special reserve. To start with, this chardonnay is made exclusively from the 30 year old vines of the William Penn Vineyard in Chadds Ford, PA. After a short period of skin contact, fermentation takes place in 50% new and 50% second year French oak barrels. It goes through a full malolactic fermentation, and then it rests on its yeast lees for 8 months. And they only made 150 cases.
Now, I am not the first person to review this wine.
1WineDude made this #6 on the 1WineDude.com Top 10 Most Interesting Wines of 2009 - According to the Dude, "Vanilla, tropical fruit, VG acidity. Might be the best E. Coast Chard. I've EVER tasted. Period." Mighty high praise.
On tof the toughest wine writers, Mark Squires, of The Wine Advocate also liked the wine, writing, "This is just lovely, a bit oaky, but crisp, and with a lingering finish. It seems very classy, surprisingly intense, if, like most of the wines here, a bit shy on mid-palate concentration. Still, I think that if Razzi has a big breakthrough here, it will be with this Chardonnay first. 88 points." Impressive.
A very nice golden color. Classic Chardonnay. And the nose is bog, with green apple, clementine, and whiffs of vanilla, and some spice. I did taste the pineapple as promised. The wine was rich and complex, with tremendous mouthfeel. Great fruit up front, nice acidity, a touch of creaminess, and a beautiful long finish.

There's something missing about the Fimir that keeps them from being as lovebly hate-able as the Skaven. I can't put my finger on it, but I think it's because they don't use warpstone and don't have fur. So, I'm wondering how to make Fimir the same, nasty enemy as the skaven.
My campaign is currently in the Wastelands. The party just finished Ravager of Time. Spoilers: In the final chapter, rather than having them try to retake the town, I had the elder wizards of Eleyea transfer their dying spirits into the guardians from the first chapter and have them raid the Witch and her Fimir army.
Anyways, the Fimir seem boring and ugly to me. First of all, they look like ugly, hairless baby birds devoid of individuality. Second of all, daemonology isn't really covered much in WFRP3e (and hasn't been since 1e). The Fimir are supposed to have rivaled and warred with the skaven and have created the Wastelands around Marienburg. They now again appear in the Fantasy Battles Game as a playable figure (shaman). They have potential.
Anyways, any advice on running this scenario would be highly welcome. My group will just be entering their second careers and I want something to tide them over until the "promised-better-than-the-original" THE ENEMY WITHIN makes it's return for the 3rd edition.
I read one amazon review that stated that the GM re-wrote or added a whole lot, but I don't know where to find notes on that sort of thing. A second review, is just an overview.
Thoughts on this scenario?

Primary vs Secondary Data
Primary Data and Secondary Data differ based on the objective of the data collection. If the data collected, are original and collected for the first time by a researcher or investigator then those are the primary data. On the other hand, if the data are collected by using already available sources, then those are the secondary data.
Primary data are collected with the objective of identifying some specific factors needed by the researcher. For this purpose, he can use the questionnaires specifying the special factors that he needs to collect. These data should not have been collected by another investigator previously in order to be primary data. Therefore, before collecting the primary data it is crucial to investigate if there is any other source available with the information interested by the researcher.
If the data have been collected by an already available source of information such as News Papers, Television Commercials or any other institute that has collected data for their own purposes, then those will be secondary data to the researcher or investigator. More over, the sources that give the secondary data might have collected the data for the owner's specific purposes. These data may have not been tailored according to the purpose of the researcher. In fact, the secondary data have not been collected with the objective of fulfilling the interest of the researcher but of the other data owners. Therefore, it is clear that these secondary data for the researcher may be the primary data for the owner of the source of information.
It is very interesting to know that primary data can be converted into secondary data by performing statistical operation on the primary data. In this particular case, primary data, which had been collected by the researcher, have been altered so that he can use the amended data right away for his intended purposes. In this manner, he is not using the, original primary data, as they were, but altered data. It is very clear, that the, original primary data, become secondary data for the owner after operating the statistical methods.
If someone is interested in obtaining the primary data, the most popular method is the questionnaires. The reason for this is, the researcher or the investigating entity can build up the questionnaires according to their requirements. In this method, though it is true that the investigators can obtain direct information from the interested party, they need to consider the total cost of the research as well. Cost of collecting primary data includes a higher value of cost for a considerable amount of questionnaires, resources needed for the field visits, and a higher amount of time value. By using the secondary data, all these costs can be eliminated. Apart from the information gathered by the media, the secondary data can also be obtained from the information recorded in the interviews or surveys. If any primary data for a particular entity can easily be converted into a form, which the investigator needs, with a minimum cost, then it is the best way of using data for the intended purposes.
Considering the cost and time factor of primary data, it is always advisable to first check if any secondary data that suites t he purpose, or flexible to use after doing some modification, are available. If not, then only one should proceed with the methods of collecting primary data.
In summary, primary data are those that have never been collected before, and are collected solely for the purpose of your investigation whereas, the secondary data (for you) may have been collected as per the requirement of the owner's investigation. Use of the secondary data is highly advisable if and only if they can be modeled according to your requirement, unless otherwise, there is a special purpose of conducting a primary data research despite the time and cost factors.

Hi....(This is my first mail to this list) Today I had a problem with phoenix-cvs. I installed phoneix-cvs 10 days back which was working fine ..... I reinstalled it today and they have changed the installation a little... (ofcourse! its cvs!). They changed the name of the executable from /usr/lib/phoenix/phoenix to /usr/lib/phoenix/MozillaFirebird (I think the prefix is forced by the ebuild though). This was not a big deal really... but this executable was giving an error ------------------------------------------------------- bash-2.05b$ /usr/lib/phoenix/MozillaFirebird run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute /usr/lib/mozilla/MozillaFirebird-bin. bash-2.05b$ ------------------------------------------------------- Digging in... I found out that that shelscript (MozillaFirebird) is sensitive to MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME env variable now... which is set to /usr/lib/mozilla so the script was getting confused. Right now I have commented out that part in the script so its working fine.. but I dont know what a more permanent solution should be. I saw that this env variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is coming from /etc/env.d/10mozilla file. When is this value set there? any way to control this variable .... or maybe remove it so that mozilla and phoenix-cvs could co-exist.? Thanx Spundun ps: just yell at me if this ml is not for this kind of mails. -- email@example.com mailing list
