LunaSea Theatre Company seeks to give voice to women's stories and perspectives and to showcase the rich diversity of female theatrical artists and to create essential, world-class theatre in Nova Scotia
LunaSea Theatre Company explores women's stories and perspectives by choosing work that highlights these issues.
Projects are artist-initiated, driven by creative passion and characterised by a constant striving for excellence and innovation.
The company is committed, primarily, to working with actors resident in this province, but is open to working with artists living elsewhere in order to stimulate new ideas and fresh energy.
LunaSea Theatre Company started in 2006 as a co-op production of "The Donahue Sisters" by Geraldine Aron at the TNS Studio Space on Agricola, which was picked up by Festival Antigonish for their summer second stage. The members of the co-op, 4 senior members of the Nova Scotia theatre community with over a century of experience between them, decided to form a company and incorporated on March 27, 2007 as LunaSea Theatre. We have gone on to produce 5 plays in the last 2 years, each receiving nominations at the Theatre Nova Scotia Merritt Awards; in 2009 receiving eight, more than any other theatre company, and winning Best Supporting Actress. LunaSea was also included in the Chronicle Herald's "Honour Roll" at the end of 2008, "recognizing members from our arts community who took giant steps forward this year." Our productions have been picked up by Festival Antigonish for three years running, played the SuperNova Theatre Festival and the Chester Playhouse, and we are looking to take our productions to other theatres across Canada. LunaSea Theatre's mandate is to produce plays of artistic merit which are likely to expand the theatrical experience, highlight the contributions and talents of women to theater, and to mentor young artists.

This is the second theatre company Sherry has started. In 1978, frustrated that there was no outlet for her dramatic desires, she began a drama club called the Ike Rich Players. It is still in existence, winning awards and accolades throughout Nfld. and Labrador. She went on to study theatre at the National Theatre School, then lived in Toronto and Niagara for 10 years ,working with Toronto Free Theatre, YPT, the Grand, Lighthouse Festival and the Shaw Festival. Since returning east, she has performed with Neptune, EFT, TNB, Festival Antigonish, Mulgrave and Ship's Company. Sherry has been nominated multiple times for a Merritt Award; winning in 2009 for her performance as Winnie in Beckett's Happy Days produced by Neptune. Her play, Woman of Labrador: The Elizabeth Goudie Story, has been produced in Nfld & Lab., NS, and Toronto. A big shout out to her husband, Stan McDonald, who was instrumental in helping LunaSea become incorporated and obtain their charitable status. Also high fives to her three children, Joseph, William and Grace – her greatest achievements!
Sadly, Sherry resigned in 2011

Hi everyone!
We placed our American Pride paint order (color matched to Ben Moore colors) and it is all set to be shipped out today, when hubby decided at the last minute that we should buy the trim paint now instead of later as originally planned. ARGH! So now, I need to choose the trim paint color by 11:00am EST today so they can mix it up and load it on the truck! I'd like to use the same shade of white for simplicity's sake (unless someone thinks that it's a really bad idea). Our colors are all pastel, and the floors are Red Oak with a clear finish: 1ST FLOOR:
I'll try to add pics too. So, my questions are: 1) What Ben Moore shade of white trim color would you recommend? Can I use the same color for the whole house? 2) What sheen should the trim paint be? Semi gloss? High gloss? 3) We will be painting the doors too. Should they be the same color and sheen as the trim paint? 4) The dining room will be 2 toned. Hush on top, and we didn't pick the bottom wainscoting color (which I'd like to be some kind of shade of white too) - any suggestions there? 5) I didn't pick the kitchen cabinet color yet. It will also be a shade of white. If we stick with the Ikea Adel doors that we ordered, it will be Cloud White, and if we go custom - then I need to choose that color too and am not sure if the cabinet white and trim white should be the same. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! |

I think linen white would be safest and if that is what your ceiling is also makes sense. Antique would be too pink and navajo too beige. Linen has some character but not too much of a certain hue. Other whites may be or read very white unless you want a really white look to contrast which I think you could still get with linen. |
We have BM White Dove. It reads as white but is not glaring. I love it. We have had pure white in other homes but I like this much better. Yes, you can use the same trim color throughout the house. Ours is a semi gloss or satin. Our kitchen cabinets are linen white. It is definitely more of a cream color. I really think that White Dove is a safe bet. |
I used BM Simply White for trim and ceilings throughout my very colorful house and am very happy with the result. It's not a stark white, but it's also not as yellow-tinted as Linen White and so might be better with your cool-toned colors. I used it as trim with a couple of BM's OC off-whites, with a Wedgwood blue, with a sky blue, with a grassy green, and with a bright persimmon. |

Thank you paige16 and dawnp for your replies!! paige16 - Uh oh - is the trim paint supposed to match the ceiling paint? We just bought American Pride's regular white "ceiling paint" for the ceilings and didn't ask for it to be matched to any particular color. Eeek. Is that going to be a major problem? Linen White is a great color, thank you for the suggestion! But I'm concerned that it might be too close in color to some of our wall colors (like the woodmont cream and mascarpone). I'd like the wall color and trim color to have some contrast. dawnp - I'll check out White Dove in the fan deck. Thank you! |
- Posted by bellajourney (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 9:08
carinr - Thank you for your suggestion! I will check out Simply White too! Have I committed a terrible paint color sin by getting regular ceiling paint, that is not matched to the trim color? I wonder if I can still get it tinted...but I think they already packed it...sigh. |
Our ceilings are a very light off white. |
bella, some folks have ceilings match trim, some have it match walls, some pick an accent color, and some just use ceiling white. You've got enough to stress over without thinking white ceilings are a sin! ;) |
- Posted by bellajourney (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 11:36
Thanks, jessicaml! :) I've got a mini extension on the decision (till noon). I ran around the house with swatches in hand. Most of our house gets northern light, so the Simply White looked terrific - like a nice, crisp, true white. The other whites looked too gray or had a bluish tint. Super White actually looked best in 2 of our south facing rooms and made the colors pop: Would it be weird to have a bedroom and bathroom with a different white trim paint than the rest of the house? Wait - but the door colors should match I assume - I guess we should stick with one color for everything... |
Why not just tell DH you need more time in order to make the 'correct' decision. It's not worth the stress to rush around making this decision. Or, just buy the paint locally at BM. Don't they carry an eco-friendly line of paint? |
It makes life a lot easier if you have all your trim and doors the same color, IMO. I like Atrium White and Decorators White. I do not like Linen White -- depending on your wall color, it can look dingy. I have China White in a couple of rooms in my house, but it can look gray. We redid our beach house last year and painted every trim (and door) Decorators White and I love it. Your trim and ceilings do not have to be the same color. |
- Posted by bellajourney (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 14:42
annz - Thanks for your reply! Ideally I'd like more time to choose. I took Forever to pick the wall colors, and drove DH up a wall (I'm surprised we're still married - ha ha!). This is my way of sort of making it up to him, lol. Although Benjamin Moore has some no voc paints that we can get locally, we choose American Pride b/c it's supposed to be non toxic (we have a baby and are renovating the entire house - which we've yet to move into, so I'm trying to be as green and non toxic as possible). sueb20 - Thank you for your suggestions! Yes, I agree that we should paint the doors and trim the same color. (Thanks for setting me straight!) And, thank goodness that the ceiling doesn't need to match the trim exactly. Atrium White and Decorators White are very pretty, but the lighting in our home was not doing them justice. And so, the winner is - Simply White! It looks white, without any gray or blue tint to it. And I like how it has a touch of warmth - as most of our colors are warm, and we have a lot of northern light. It's not my favorite white for our one Beacon Gray bathroom, but it will still look nice. As for the bedroom that will have Mascarpone on the bottom - I'm still a little concerned there b/c Simply White is very close in color and doesn't "pop" like a cooler white would, but hopefully the semi gloss sheen will help with the contrast a bit. We'll see... Overall though, I think Simply White will work really great in our home, and I'm excited to see everything painted! Thank you all again for your replies! You're the best!! :) |
I think you'll be very happy with Simply White. It's my favorite BM white-white. Congrats on getting through the decision process! :) |

Years ago I had different white trims in different rooms. It was really insane when it came time to touch up. I now have one ( can't remember the name but it is white white white maybe super white?BM) in the kitchen trim and a softer one for the rest of the house. and I am happy about it.:) |

I have been meaning to write a post about SparkPeople for awhile now. I guess I have put it off for a number of reasons, but the top reason is probably because there is a multitude of things to tell you about this wonderful site. (No, I am NOT being paid to talk about SP, I am just a satisfied user of this amazing site.)
Sparkpeople is a site with an abundance of tools to help you get healthy and stay healthy.
It is a weight loss and support system, a site chalk full of tools to help you succeed on your journey to getting healthy. The best part about this site is that it is completely FREE!
I'm not going to type out the history of the site, but rather give you a few links to look at to learn about what its all about. (Please read these AFTER you've finished reading my post or you may never return to finish reading my post~ LOL!)
- Wikipedia's SparkPeople summary
- About SparkPeople
- Sparkpeople's Recommendations/ Guidelines
- SparkDiet outlined
- The company's History
- The Book and the Author/site founder
- Sites within the site: SparkRecipes, SparkTeens, DailySpark, and SparkSavings
The site has a place to record your fitness activities, a weight tracker, food tracker, meal planner, your very own SparkPage where you can blog, earn trophies and recieve SparkGoodies from friends, Spin the Spark Wheel daily to win Sparkpoints, Spark Videos to workout to, articles, message boards, team boards, challenges and so much more! You do not have to jump in to all this at once. It is very overwhelming and that is why I think it took me so long to start using this site fully. But have an open mind about it and start slowly. The point is to START! (And if you are like me, you may have to re-start again, and maybe again!)
~My History With SparkPeople~
I discovered SparkPeople in October 2007. This was a year after Kaye was born. I joined the site with my 'throwaway' email because I didn't know if I would receive junk mail from them or what not. In hindsight this was not a good idea because I do not check my 'throwaway' email (what I mean by that is the email address I use to sign up for newsletters, contests, free products, etc.) daily, if even regularly. Hence, I was not very successful until I realized I needed to connect with the site; I needed to be reminded that I should be an active participant there in order to have success.
Another mistake I made was making my Spark Page private. In the beginning I did not want to share anything about how I was feeling or my struggles. I am a private person and did not want it all 'hanging out' there on the internet. Then I realized how much I was missing out on because I wasn't making connections with people on the site. I was sheltering myself when I really needed to be making friends with members who had the same struggles I had. So, I made my page public and decided that if I were to post photos of myself I would just blur out my face (still self concious about being to personal online).
I created a team for Mommies and was the team leader. The team wasn't too active and that discouraged me. I eventually left that group and took over the Pushing 40 Team when I was 38 years old. This group was inactive because the team leader had moved on, but I got it somewhat moving again. Getting involved really helped me want to spend time on the site. I met a great woman on this team from Israel and she is probably one of my biggest supporters. (Thank You Sam for checking in on me even when I go AWOL from the site at times!) Life's little challenges sometimes get in my way, but because I know there are Spark friends looking for me and wanting me to succeed, it makes me want to come back to the site and continue my journey to get healthy!
Sam and I took over the 40 and Fabulous Team together last year and are still trying to get more active participants there, but we aren't giving up on it.
Another thing that helped me get exercising were team challenges. In March 2011 I completed the 28-Day BootCamp WorkOut Challenge and in May 2011 I completed the Spring Into Shape BootCamp Challenge. These two challenges aided me in dropping 10 pounds last year! More successful than I had been in a long time! I joined the BLC17 Team (Biggest Loser Challenge) in the Fall, but this was a mistake in hindsight because Fall is my most stressful time of year. Our entire family celebrates their birthday at this time of year, so I have to start birthday party planning, gift shopping, throwing parties (this past Fall Kaye had a surprise party) and then before I know it Christmas shopping (Em's birthday is about a week and a half before Christmas). So I did not participate as fully as I should have in this challenge and my downward spiral began again. Unfortunately, I gained the 10 pounds I lost back because of too much stress and my lack of motivation to continue exercising and healthy eating habits. I was determined to bounce back in 2012, so in January 2012 I completed the January JumpStart Challenge. Then, by the middle of February and into March bad luck got in my way with the brachial neuralgia in shoulder, then Kaye's broken arm, Em's cholesterol bloodwork coming back high, my abcessed tooth needing to be pulled, etc. So I have been AWOL from SP for too long now.
That is all about to change. I joined up with the BLC19 and it kicks off this Wednesday 4/25/12.
Sign up with Sparkpeople here. Then go to this team to see if you can get in on the BLC this round. (No one may join the competitive portion of the challenge after Midnight on 04/25/12-or when teams have been filled - whichever comes first). This team challenge is VERY well organized and each team has like 30 members on it. If you cannot get in on the challenge this time, try one of the other site challenges here. There are a ton!
There is also a support group on Facebook that I belong to called SparkPeople Connections.
It's just a place for those browsing around FaceBook to go and check in with their FB friends who are also on SP.

I hope you will check out the links I've provided in this post (I know, there are a lot) and decide to join me on this journey to get fit and healthy. Now is the time. You will have more energy and feel better about yourself. Feel free to add me as a SparkFriend as well.
Get Sparked and Get Healthy once and for all!

I have played PING irons for over 20 years, I recently was fitted at my local Golf Galaxy store. Store personnel took their time and I am EXTREMELY pleased with the fitting I received. This set of G10's replace a set of EYE2's and I have to say the feel, control and forgiveness is extraordinary. These clubs are well worth the investment....but GET fitted and you'll have a set of irons you'll love !
ChipNRun from St. Louis, MO | 4/15/2009 8:32 PM
Test hit the irons along with I10s at Golf Galaxy. Computer analysis showed G10s got the ball up REALLY high, especially on short irons. I had trouble keeping ball down with my old irons. If you get ball up easy, try I10s or maybe S57s.
RD from Lincoln, NE | 3/29/2009 11:38 PM
Very forgiving. Great distance. Higher launch. I am holding more greens than ever before. I am still adjusting to hitting the ball farther than ever with these irons. A little pricey... but worth the money. I would recommend to anyone. If you are willing to pay 700 for a set of irons... you won't regret the purchse. The quality of the G10's is very high.
Anonymous from nampa, id. | 2/7/2009 2:27 AM
I bought the Ping G10 irons and i love my clubs they just feel right and boost confidence, only been playing about 8 months but i have already had one 4 over par game thanks to Ping lineup. I strongly suggest getting fitted as a must and the folks at Golf Galaxy were fantastic, we happen to have a record holder at our store who is also my swing coach, Rich Stanwood, who acquired first in 1976 but shares record of 15 putts in 18 holes.
Anonymous from Dallas, TX | 8/12/2008 11:42 AM
Just puchased 5-PW after getting fitted which I highly recommend since it's no cost to you and I can already tell the difference from my Callaway X-16's. I had a problem getting the ball up in the air and these have helped tremendously. I'm also hitting my 5 and 6 much better than I used to. I'm so happy with the G10 line, I'll soon be getting the G10 hybrids to round out my set!

Does an ok job only in my opinion. Remove normal eye makeup alright, but does not for waterproof stuff. It does sting my eyes sometimes, so I am not a big fan of it.
To all the reviewers who said that this stung their eyes, I discovered that this did the same to me after a year or so. During the first 6 months this worked really well, removed all my waterproof eye makeup, wasn't greasy etc. I left this lying somewhere for a few months as I was trying another remover. Went back to this and thought that this stung a little, so stopped using it. Went back to this again after another month or so and it stung like crazy! My eyes were watering for about 10 mins. So I guess there is an "expiratory date" for this even though its not explicitly written on the bottle.
Absolutely, noooo! It even couldn't the slightest make-up, it burns eyes, although it's claimed that it's suitable for sensitive eyes-skin.
Seeing as this product was one of The Body Shop's bestseller, I went ahead and bought it.
Wow, this thing made my eyes burn. I was trying to get my non-waterproof mascara off and I couldn't even continue because my lids started to hurt.
It also left my eye with smear of makeup on, tears, and dry.
It may work for others, but it definitely is not for me.
I love products from The Body Shop, especially the aloe line, but this was horrible. I hope I can still return it...
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have the waterproof version, a bit more expensive but it takes all my mascara, I never liked the oily eye make up removers, so this one is perfect for me because it's a very gentle cream and it removes all my makeup without effort
This product really irritated my eyes and the surrounding skin. My eyes stung and watered when I used it, and after a few days of use my eye-lids had become red and rough - this was VERY visible and also really stung. I also didn't think it was very effective at removing waterproof mascara.
I don't have particularly sensitive eyes but this product caused me a lot of problems.
However, I was able to return it and got a full refund.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This removes a mascara that even my oil-based cleanser can't (Bourjois effet liner), it feels gentle on my skin and leaves no residue. I first bought a bottle of this 4 years ago, have tried many different emurs since (simple, garnier, lush ultrabland, loreal) and have now come back to this as have never found anything better. I also like the fact it comes in a big bottle and is not too expensive.
I bought this product because I knew that this was is one of the body shops best sellers....so I just assumed that it worked. Never assume....it doesnt remove mascara well. I have to rub and use mutiple cotton balls and then use another makeup remover to take off the remaing makeup. Its a disappointment and waste of thirteen dollars. It is gentle to the eyes though.
Good: Doesn't sting eyes
Bad: I used this product up really quickly because it takes quite a bit in order to remove my waterproof mascara. It always took me 3 good squirts onto a cotton pad in order to remove my make up. It also left my skin really raw feeling, even though I was gentle with my touch.
This is my HG eye makeup remover. I simply saturate a cotton round and then press it to my eye for 5-8 seconds then gently wipe. Waterproof mascara may not come off with the first swipe, so just repeat.
There is a waterproof version, but I rarely wear waterproof mascara, so I just use this one. I am on my third bottle. I love it.

If they are somewhat fragrant, it's persimmon. We've got tons of them around here. What does the tree look like? |
^5, both accurate & speedy. Common Persimmon is one of my favorites (added to the list numbering 1000). I only found out from a recent search that it is one of several larval hosts to Luna Moth. Plus delicious fruit in November. ----------------------------------------------------------- -I'm gonna keep posting pics, sooner or later I'll stump everyone :) |
I have one down in my little orchard and thought it a 'cute' tree until I found out it is a racoon magnet come fruiting time. LOL. It's old enough now the limbs are finally able to handle the ten pound bandits, but back when the tree was younger the nightly raids did a some damage to its aesthetics. |
I have persimmons, but not luna moths. I've only seen them twice here in my entire life. I used to see cecropia, polyphemus, and promethia fairly regularly, too, but haven't seen those in years, either. I think they were all wiped out in the 1990s when the county was spraying Bt every year to control gypsy moth. |
Well, we have a ton of persimmon trees, not many raccoons, and at least a few lunar moths around the house. Here is a lunar moth caterpillar I found snacking on my live oak a month or so ago. He was a hungry little fella having eaten two branches bare before I found him! John
Yes, they're fascinating caterpillars. I used to enjoy seeing cecropia caterpillars crawling down the trunk of my maple tree around September in search of a place to make a cocoon. For some reason, they didn't seem to like to do it in the tree, but preferred to find some low shrub to make a cocoon in. |
I have found cecropia cats on Paulownia trees. I guess that's the only thing they're good for. Speaking of which and off topic..........this is the first year I have found lots of seedlings under Paulownias. People said they weren't invasive in this area. Even the danged arboretum was selling them in their plant sales a few years ago. Yeah, and I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. |
I think the bark of a mature native persimmon is it's most ornamental feature. |
- Posted by Dzitmoidonc 6 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 25, 12 at 12:41
I think the stump of a Persimmon is its most decorative feature. ;0) |
All the female trees around here were loaded with fruit this year - I have never seen so much on them! |

Watch a short video from the show floor of Gen Con Indy. |
News | Published 05 August 2010 |
For anyone who couldn't make it for the official launch of the Best Four Days in Gaming, immerse yourself in our first Gen Con 2010 video wrap-up! Keep up to date with all our activities at Gen Con Indy 2010 with our videos that will post each night through Sunday.
I wish there was a major con out west, too. But from what I understand, Gen Con West wasn't a real success. Too bad.
I'm kinda of half planning to go to the con next year though.
Wish there was a Gencon in the UK, but it fell apart and looks like no one will bother with it again :(
I agree with Runehardt! The City of Angels is a major city and a hub in the West Coast. Why don't we have our own Gen Con?!?
Oh so many wonderful looking games... GenCon "Los Angeles" again please!
As always... looking forward to rest of these videos! I wish I could be there, looks like FUN! All the New releases look awesome! Keep 'em coming FFG!
Wish I was there to pick up Dungeon Quest!
Ah I wish I had the money to get to this. It is still high on my wish list. And anybody who is going have fun!
Demo of Civ... Release date???
Haha, try watching this from work without sound. All I see is people hugging each other. It was like watching a war movie after the heroes were victorious. Well, excluding the girl jumping up and down.
I can't wait to see the gencon videos over the next few days (hoping to hear something about battlelore and descent).
Ooh! Dungeonquest on sale at Gen Con!
I'm so glad I helped with the design of the game and hope it sales really well!
Watch the clip a very excited woman holding her copy of deathwatch and ross getting a hug from her.
Juat shows you how much people have been wanting deathwatch if i could get a copy i would hug ross too :o)

The leg lengthening surgery has become, for more and more people, a solution for changing their appearance. Growing taller has become something of major necessity, hence the turning to these medical alteration methods.
However, there are certain disadvantages to this surgery and certain risks that the patient exposes himself/herself to during a surgery like this.
The risk of infection
The risk of infection after leg lengthening surgery has reached the percentage of 4%. This percentage is smaller than the one noted by the removal of tarsal coalition surgery, which is 25-50%. This happens due to the inability of the body to adapt itself to the new system, thus leading to rejection.
The big problem of this solution is the price that the given patient has to pay for this surgical intervention. Besides the surgery itself, the price will be higher because of the medications needed and the possible risks and infections.
The time involved
In order to benefit from the effects of the surgery, the patient must have a lot of patience. Besides the period spent in the hospital, he has to add up the time spent with the device built on the leg, plus the time with the cast. When deciding to lengthen the leg, the patient must be aware that he will not be able to use time as he used to, which is definitely a downside.
The pain
After the surgery itself, the patient has to put up with the pain of the legs. This may derive in other problems such as: acute insomnia and nervousness/ laziness. The pain, in most of the cases, can become a mental state, and in many cases the patient regretting having the surgery.
The risk of having a second surgery
If the body of the patient did not welcome well the change or if certain operations have not been done properly, there is the risk that the patient might need another surgery. Besides the effort of the body to heal itself again, this surgery takes other financial sacrifices and additional time spent healing.
Therefore, this is how many risks and disadvantages come with this kind of surgery. All of this can be avoided through a good combination between physical exercise, nutrition and sleep.
The effects of the natural problem are always positive and imply no risks whatsoever. So before jumping on the surgery table, you should try the natural way of growing a few centimeters.

Yes, from 50 Shades. Since you're curious, the book is written by someone who writes at a 7th grade level and knows way too much about sex for being 14 (but really, she's probably just a bored housewife). It's essentially Twilight fan fiction about a powerful billionaire sadist who preys on a virgin who doesn't shave her pubes.padma55 said:Is Christian Gray from 50 Shades? I would love to have a discussion about 50 Shades. I haven't read the book, but I'm curious about it.
Did you see that they're making a Starz show out of the books? I can't believe who they got to play Jamie............Avion22 said:Slow clapping for Jaime Fraser :-) He's hot. In my mind anyway.NicoleAnne416 said:Eh. Jamie Frazier. (Outlander by Diana Gabaldon) If you have not read this amazing series, please do. Now. Jamie is the definition of "man".
LittleLady77 said:Ugh, fine. I'll bite. I'll start by saying I'm an avid reading of a variety of books, genres and themes. By no means am I advocating that 50 Shades is well written or brings anything THAT meaningful to your life but I liked it.
I think it explores sexuality in a new way and allowed thousands of people to become a little more creative in the bedroom. I finished those books and immediately ran to the adult store to get a mask and a feather tickler thing that DH and I had FUN with. We've always been adventurous in the bedroom and I can see how if you're not that is too extreme to be enjoyable but I certainly got lost in the fantasy. Between Edward and Grey, I would go Grey all the way even with his red room.
That all being said, I did start counting how many times she "peeked up at him through her lashes" in the book. Gag!
I get it. I guess that's just no fantasy of mine. I don't want to have to fix a control freak.LittleLady77 said:***spoiler alert***
@amhah09 I get it but she basically gets her way in every aspect and he learns to let go. It's part of the whole "she fixed him" fantasy. It's totally unrealistic but it still plays to the story. A broken billionaire shows up on your doorstep and you get to fix him, fall in love and live happily ever after with your dream career and all the money in the world.

In 1997, Molly Scott Cato and her colleagues Busby and Bramhall conducted an interesting piece of research: I don't know much about Science [1]. Their analysis of the new parliament showed that 30 per cent of MPs did not have an 0-level equivalent in any STEM subject, and only 56 had a degree with physics, chemistry, biology or maths. By comparison, 309 MPs (46.8 per cent) had an arts-based degree, including myself with a degree in philosophy! What is more, 80 per cent of MPs worked previously in careers that did not require any significant knowledge of science.
The study has not been repeated, but I suspect that science will be just as under-represented in the 2010 intake. In fact, it is likely to be even less represented. Many of the 'science champions' — Dr Gibson, Dr Iddon, Dr Turner and Doug Naysmith — will be leaving Labour's ranks, whilst Ian Taylor (the former Science Minister) and Tim Boswell (the former HE Minister) will be retiring from the Conservative ranks — as indeed will I from the Liberal Democrats. This will leave precious few MPs willing or able to speak up for science in the tough negotiations ahead of the 2011 Comprehensive Spending Review.
There may of course be new, enthusiastic recruits, but a quick glance down the list of prospective Parliamentary candidates in winnable seats suggests not. It is therefore crucial that the science community raises its standard and gives politicians the clear evidence of the crucial role science must play in our future. There is a fantastic tale to tell — of past successes and a rich future — but someone must tell it with conviction.
Scientists and politicians
With a backdrop of the huge fiscal deficit, cutbacks in public expenditure and the rise in unemployment, the challenge for the 2010 government will be whether it has the courage and foresight to pursue the nation's long-term future or only short-term goals.
For the science community the answer is simple. From climate change to energy, from food security to global security, the world depends on science for effective solutions. And it is the delivery by science of new technologies to solve these problems that will generate economic growth, so resolving medium- if not short-term problems of unemployment.
But politicians continue to treat science with suspicion and sceptism born of ignorance and a lack of engagement. To be fair, the current Labour government has made significant investments in our science base. The effect has been to repair the damage of past under-investment and, crucially, give the UK a global position in science second only to the USA.
More cuts
Yet the signs are not good. Despite the 'ring fence' round science budgets, recent announcements from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) have seen a 52 per cent cut in funding for nuclear physics, 25 per cent reduction in PhD programmes, the withdrawal from ALICE experiments at CERN and the phasing out of a number of space missions including the Cassini probe and the Venus Express orbiter. It seems inevitable that cuts to other areas of science funding will follow. Or does it?
President Obama has answered these questions for the USA emphatically. Speaking at the National Academies of Sciences (NAS) in Washington in April 2009 he said, 'Science is more essential for our prosperity, our security, our health, our environment and our quality of life than it has ever been before' – and backed that up with a fiscal stimulus package of £480 billion that went directly to into research, green technologies, green energy and the scientific skills of young people. Few of our politicians would do this, because for most of our politicians see science as peripheral, not central, to today's political challenges.

Chicago—April 22, 2008—In a recent survey conducted by Cars.com regarding gas prices and their affect on buying decisions, 85 percent of consumers said a prolonged period of $4 gasoline prices would prompt them to buy a more fuel-efficient car. Of that 85 percent, 28 percent said they would buy a more fuel-efficient car immediately and 57 percent said they would buy a more fuel-efficient car the next time they purchased a car.
According to the survey, many consumers are already doing what they can to save more at the pump. More than 80 percent of respondents said they are consciously practicing common fuel-saving techniques like making sure their tires are properly inflated, combining multiple errands into one trip and avoiding sudden stops and heavy acceleration.
"The survey is consistent with what we are seeing when it comes to searches for fuel-efficient vehicles," said Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief at Cars.com. "When gas prices surged past $3 a gallon, searches for fuel-efficient vehicles skyrocketed. With no end in sight to soaring gas prices, I would expect that we are going to see more people seeking out cars that get better than 30 miles to the gallon."
The vast majority of consumers (73 percent) said that fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon or higher is what they hope to achieve in any car they currently own or are planning to purchase. However, there is a threshold to how much consumers are willing to pay to get better gas mileage. The survey asked consumers, all things being equal, how much more they would pay for a car that got 40 miles per gallon versus a car that got 25 miles per gallon. More than 60 percent said they would pay $2000 or less and 21 percent said they wouldn't pay any more for it.
"Clearly, when it comes to fuel-efficiency, there is a contradiction between what consumers want and what they are willing to pay for," added Olsen. "That puts a bigger burden on auto makers who claim that they will have to add thousands of dollars to the cost of each vehicle to meet the fuel-economy standards of 35 miles per gallon by 2020."
The survey was conducted online for Cars.com by Impulse Research Corp., with a random sample of 1,033 men and women 18-and-older who own cars. The survey audience was carefully selected to closely match U.S. population demographics and the respondents are representative of American men and women 18-and-older. The overall sampling error rate for this survey is +/-3 percent.
Cars.com is the leading destination for online car shoppers, offering credible, easy-to-understand information from consumers and experts to help buyers formulate opinions on what to buy, where to buy and how much to pay for a car. With comprehensive pricing information, side-by-side comparison tools, photo galleries, videos, unbiased editorial content and a large selection of new- and used-car inventory, Cars.com puts millions of car buyers in control of their shopping process with the information they need to make confident buying decisions.

Religious groups are demanding an explanation from NBC for omitting the words "under God" from a segment featuring the Pledge of Allegiance that aired Sunday before the live telecast of the U.S. Open.
NBC has issued two apologies so far.
The live broadcast began with a video of children reciting the oath. The word "under God" was edited out, not just once, but twice.
Viewers immediately noticed the editing and started posting complaints on the social networking websites Facebook and Twitter.
Later during the broadcast, NBC apologized for the omission saying the network didn't intend to offend anyone.
NBC Sports also issued a written apology on Monday concerning the incident, calling it a "bad decision."
Jordan Sekulow, with the American Center for Law and Justice, explained how he believes NBC should respond to the complaints and what action the ACLJ is taking towards the matter, on CBN News Channel Morning News, June 21.

When Walter Latham says perseverance is his entrepreneurial ammo,
there's nothing cliché about it. At 28, he's an
entertainment mogul, heading the largest urban comedy promotion
company in the country. But have you heard of Latham
Enter-tainment, or its "Kings of Comedy" tour, which
grossed $20 million last year? Probably not, due to sparse media
coverage. Seasoned minority industry players say that's just
how it is. Latham retorts, "I only accept what I think I
Don't assume Kings of Comedy has anything to do with Bob Hope.
It's the laugh-fest that last year featured three African
American stand-up comedians and ranked as the nation's
bestselling comedy tour, outdoing Jerry Seinfeld and Eddie Murphy.
When Latham began planning it near the end of 1997 to follow up his
success with actor/comedian Chris Rock's "Bring The
Pain" tour, he hoped it would propel his then-5-year-old
business into greater fortune. When hope became reality, few
noticed. "We'd call People magazine [for
coverage]," says Latham, "and they'd say
'What's Kings of Comedy?'" Judging from the
numbers (expected company sales are $35 million this year, up from
$26 million last year) and the addition of ABC's The
Hughleys creator D.L. Hughley to 1999's Kings of Comedy
tour, the entertainment world cannot deny Latham the spotlight much
The former customer-service representative for American Express was
captivated by the successes of high school friends-turned-rap
artists. When his own rap demo remained a demo, he tried a
behind-the-scenes approach. "I don't think I knew the word
'promote,'" says Latham. "I probably just said
'I'll do rap shows.'"
Latham, who divides his time between his company's newest
office in Los Angeles and its first, in Greensboro, North Carolina,
has come a long way from scanning backs of CD cases for booking
contacts. With just $5,000 from his family to start, Latham has
transformed himself from a small-time promoter into a multimedia
player. Frankly, Latham has gone Hollywood: In the works is a TV
series animated by the creators of Rugrats. By reinvesting
in his product to keep his tours fresh, focusing on the urban
market and keeping his independent spirit intact, Latham is ready
to play David to Tinseltown's Goliaths. Says Latham,
"I've paid my dues with concerts, and I'm willing to
do it again. But I will not accept 'no' just because
it's the standard."

The roles of an architectural historian may be many and diverse, but they rarely include giving evidence at a UN war crimes tribunal. This, however, is what Dr Andras Riedlmayer, director of Islamic architecture at Harvard's Fine Arts Library has been doing, at the tribunal that found Bosnian Serb leader Momcilo Krajisnik guilty of crimes against humanity based partly on Riedlmayer's evidence. As Riedlmayer told Australian local radio, his evidence ...

Album review
A Mixed Experience
The idea that every note Hendrix played is worth hearing is fully explored, and disproved, in these exhaustive releases. The Last Experience is the definitive version of Experience, the soundtrack to the movie of what proved to be Hendrix's last British gig with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, at the Albert Hall in February 1969. It's torpid from the start, as Hendrix leads a string of uninspired jams, before asking, "Does anyone else wanna play guitar? 'Cos I'm finished." The Experience and its music were dead weight to him now. A thuggish "Wild Thing"and the climactic amp-smashing are rare highlights on a three-CD box where half the tracks are from the soundcheck—the kind of abuse completists savour.
The Rainbow Bridge Concert (two short CDs) takes us on to Hawaii in July 1970, when Hendrix was in the full flow of some half-realised new directions. Unheard till now (apart from brief snatches in the Rainbow Bridge film), it's also badly recorded, introverted, exploratory and unsuccessful, like a muffled bootleg of a jazz musician starting down paths he's too stoned to finish.
August 1970, just two weeks before Hendrix's death, at the Isle of Wight Festival, at 3am on a rainy, misty English early-morning, in front of a crowd more interested in sleep than future generations'envy that they're watching the guitarist's final British show, and at last you can hear Hendrix, fearing failure, suddenly in focus. Covering "God Save The Queen" and "Sgt Pepper", he loses himself in a 21-minute "Machine Gun" and a still-mutating "New Rising Sun", returns to high-ringing blues and the bull-elephant roar of "Voodoo Chile", then banters between songs with easy, flaky charm. Here, finally, you get the full ebb and flow of the man and the long gone night. History, for once, worth repeating.

I am frightened. I am being sucked into begrudging respect for Vindenpawl's leadership... even though I know the bad stuff. She's working her evil ways on my mind.
I like that Heather and Wayne get a chance to showcase some of their acting, too. This is a great episode to set us up for the audio episodes to come, as characters head off on a mission... Good work. |

It was a bit slow, but I can see why, its moving the story along so that we can see whats next. Other than that it was great. Acting, CGI, and the ship models were WOW! Not a stand out episode but it was good all around.

I gave it a "B" although it's closer to a "B-" in my opinion. It was an interesting episode, but it was a bit too slow for my liking and it didn't have the wow factor that I generally feel a season finale needs. I felt that there were some unnecessary twists. The thing with Onshul's fiance felt...I dunno...just kinda pointless. It's something we haven't heard about before and was shown in one scene and then not mentioned again. And I also am beginning to feel like McCabe is fairly disconnected from the rest of the crew. His interaction with them was minimal. There was the whole thing with Shelby asking him to be her XO which kinda fizzled. And then he was suddenly reassigned and I was sitting there going "huh?" And...the Horniest Starfleet Officer Ever just made me face-palm. And then there was a strange moment at the end when Onshul and McCabe were arguing. He was angsting about not wanting her to get hurt, and she was telling him that she could take care of herself. Then, without warning, he was just like "Okay. Cool. We're going to Hell's Gate."
I will say that the acting was fantastic and the special effects were top-notch. Like I said, not a bad episode, but I just thought it was fairly lackluster in comparison to Operation Beta Shield and Unity. |

I thought it was a good episode, all in all - I gave it an "A". But I kept in mind that this was originally intended to be the S2 opener that became the S1 finale. As such, the pacing and the setup are certainly understandable - the structure of the story seemed pointed at setting up:
Spoiler (highlight to view):
That being said, I think the episode could have had a bit more exposition to explain how some situations got from Point A to Point Zed. There was implication that Onshul and McCabe had chatted prior to their final scene and I admit while I got the point at the end of that scene, I had to reach a bit during the reveal until it gelled for me. There were a few other minor moments like that, but by the end, I felt like I had a grasp on the whole thing. The "horniest Starfleet Officer ever"... I did cringe a bit. Not so much for the acting or characterization - I think she pulled it off well. But...oh dear.
Spoiler (highlight to view):
I was a bit surprised at the XO development early in the episode, which seemed to be replaced at the end with his assignment for "re-education" (I prefer that term - given Vindenpawl's method of operation). His wish to get off the ship appears to have been granted. Tho I'm not sure he's particularly thrilled about the method through which that was accomplished. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing how the story plays out in audio. Not sure how it'd have played out if there were only going to be three or so video episodes - I'm glad we're going to get more time with these characters and this setting, even if we're not going to see them in the process. |

A pretty good episode. Nothing earthshattering.

I quite enjoyed it. I thought the "horniest Starfleet Officer ever" was hilarious. I also loved "my icecream cake is melting." I am starting to wonder if Hunter is becoming to the Rodney Dangerfield of the Trekverse, though.
I don't really understand where the confusion is coming from. Regarding the reassignment and how it happened, I thought that was pretty obvious; Shelby pulled some strings. As for Onshul's fiancee, I think that's been mentioned before. It is a pity we didn't get to see more of a slow buildup to this episode, but it still turned out pretty well, and everyone turned in some fantastic performances. I really bought the budding relationship/friendship between McCabe and Onshul, and Jacques was wonderfully sinister/slimy as Kaart. The final scene between McCabe/Kaart/Vindenpawl was beautifully done, with nice, nuanced performances from Becky, Jacques and Wayne. |

If there's one thing I thought was odd, it's the quick resolution to the "document leaking" issue. We never saw how McCabe figured that one out.

I have to admit I've been largely dissapointed with the more recent HF offerings such as the season finales of Helena and Odyssey- but I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The political intrigue, McCabe's dealings with both Onshul and (especially) Vindenpawl, Shelby showing a more humourous side to her character (something which we've never seen before), the little dig at Captain Hunter- everything about the episode was pretty much perfect.
Becky is always deliciously sinister as Vindenpawl, even more so in this episode- and her accent is to die for! And I loved Ensign Miller, she was absolutely hilarious! And of course Heather always brings a smile to my face everytime she pops up on screen. The only gripe I had with the episode was the conversation between Onshul and her fiancee- it seemed forced, but it was only one minor scene. Good job guys. Can't wait for Episode Three now! |

I liked the episode overall. Good acting, interesting plot choices, great sfx as always. I gave it an A as I was entertained. The horny Starfleet officer was an amusing comedy relief with all the political intrigue. I will see how things pan out in season 2.

It was an interesting episode. I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm wanting to see that if McCabe figures our that Vindenpawl and Kaart are behind the assasination of Sefron which I think I already have done each time I watch the episodes for season 1. I gave it an A.

The acting and production values were top notch. I've come to expect this level of quality from HF productions and you make it look easy, but I know it takes a lot of hard work.
Unfortunately, the story seemed to be lacking something. Maybe the pacing was off or maybe there wasn't a proper build up of tension and suspense, but it just felt a bit flat. I followed the plot, but it felt like A happens, then B happens, then C happens... without much flow or engagement. The progression through the episode just didn't have a sense of drama that pulled me into the character and plot developments. Federation One is a change of pace from the other shows, so maybe the team is still finding their legs with this slightly different genre. I didn't feel the same way about "Unity", but the main plotline of this episode almost left me feeling like it would have worked better as a subplot of a larger show. After the other two season finales, this one didn't seem to measure up. I apologize for the criticism, but I am a fan and I only offer my honest impressions in the hope that they might be of some value to the creative process. I look forward to the next episode and the further development of the storyline and the series. |

I posted this on the Intrepid forum as well, but thought the actors might like reading this here.
OK, got a chance to watch the season finale of ST:F1 A good ending episode for the season, filled with many questions left to be answered. The writers and producers have given the finale a touch of Phantom Menace. We'll see if that 'feel' holds true next season. Wasn't sure if I was going to like F1 as much as some of the other HF spin offs. Much like Voyager, the chemistry has taken a while to gel, but in this ep we see some real connections between the actors and their various roles. First and foremost, a big tip of the hat to Wayne Webb, and Rebecca Wood. A lot was asked of them to "Carry" this series, and both have exceeded my wildest expectations. Wayne's McCabe character has grown considerably in a short amount of time, and his acting is on par with the anyone in any Trek Fan series. I would expect that someone with "real" money will notice him and snatch him from HF before too long. Good for him, but HF needs to be looking for his replacement... Rebecca Wood's Vindenpawl provides an excellent foil for McCabe to face. Her character is brilliantly played, and her soliloquies are top notch. Again good for the show, but someone will notice her abilities before too long as well. Heather Ashleigh and Mr. Webb have some real chemistry and it will interesting to see how far the writers take the relationship. It would be nice to see this relationship take some time to grow before launching into the throws of unbridled passion. Horniest Officer not withstanding... This ep gets Five Stars. Nothing to nit pick about. Mike |

Just got done watching Institutions....
Fantastic all around.... This is why I still come to the point that this should not go to audio. I know that Rob and the team are doing a lot of projects and what not. This is only my opinion, however, I really think that this show should go on like HF did. The writing, outstanding CGI effects, awesome cast plus the fact that this show keeps you in suspense wanting more. To me, I would keep going with the show and produce more great shows for everyone to watch. Other that what I stated above, thank you for taking the time to read my opinion. I still support whatever Mr. Caves and the rest of the team is going to do. Great job on the show. |

I wish I could jump on the "Good Ol' Boys Admiration Wagon," but then I would be lying through my teeth. For me, this was the first episode of any HF production in which I cannot find a single thing to like. My first instinct is to write an extensive review detailing my full thoughts on the episode, but from what I've seen on this forum, honest criticism seems to fall on deaf ears.
So allow me to be succinct: the acting is average, the plot is pointless, the pace is plodding, the dialogue is dull, and in general, the script is snoozeworthy. It was completely disjointed, in both the writing and the editing. An absolute disappointment on every level. Even though I'm not a big fan of the Helena finale, it smokes this episode of Federation One. Odyssey's blows them both away. This post has been edited by TimPendragon: Jan 20 2009, 10:16 PM |

Akouris: Former NBA star Daugherty striving in world of racing
By Tina Akouris email@example.com July 21, 2013 9:06PM
ESPN analyst Brad Daugherty during the NASCAR Countdown show | Photo Submitted
Article Extras
Updated: August 23, 2013 6:23AM
Brad Daugherty is probably one of the few people who can get away with telling Michael Jordan, of all people, that his NBA team stinks.
"I told him, 'You guys are terrible,' " Daugherty said of Jordan's team, the Charlotte Bobcats. "But I see what he's trying to do and it takes time. He's really focused and driven and very stubborn, and he believes in things."
Daugherty and Jordan go way back. The pair played at North Carolina and met regularly during the NBA season when Daugherty was with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, one of the most notable moments in NBA history involved Jordan and Daugherty's Cavaliers.
During Game 5 of the 1989 playoffs Jordan hit "The Shot" at the buzzer over the Cavs' Craig Ehlo to win the series. Daugherty's basketball career ended five years later and Jordan went on to, well, continuing being Michael Jordan.
"Watching Michael, I knew what he was capable of and that was the biggest thing," Daugherty said. "He scored 63 on us one night in Cleveland and I thought he had only 25, because it was so easy how he was (scoring).
"And he had so many big, clutch shots that that's what becomes remarkable."
But these days, Daugherty seems far removed from basketball and is known for something else.
Daugherty was at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet over the weekend to provide in-studio NASCAR analysis for ESPN on the STP 300 Nationwide race.
A guy like Daugherty, who towers over everyone he meets, gets asked one question more than most: What's a 7-foot former No. 1 NBA draft pick doing at the racetrack and what could he possibly know about motorsports?
Answer: He knows a lot and Daugherty has more of an auto racing background than you think.
Daugherty's auto racing story starts in Black Mountain, N.C.
"Our claim to fame was Billy Graham, Roberta Flack and myself," Daugherty said.
Daugherty's father raced cars at a short-track about eight miles from their house, and Daugherty started working on cars at a young age. The biggest sport in that region of North Carolina was auto racing.
"We'd build small cars and take them to the track," Daugherty said. "Racing was the other sport we had in our community and in our lives. I got better at basketball, but I always loved racing."
So it is obvious that Daugherty's first love wasn't basketball. He said he didn't "fall in love" with basketball until he was a sophomore at North Carolina, playing alongside Jordan and under head coach Dean Smith.
Daugherty became a race team owner in 1988 when he was still playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers and put together a Busch series team (in the days before it was the Nationwide series). In the team's fourth race, Daugherty's team won a race at Orange County Speedway.
Then, Daugherty moved into the Camping World Truck Series and hired drivers Kenny Irwin Jr. and Kevin Harvick.
Now, that team has morphed into JTG Daugherty Racing and they have a car in the Sprint Cup Series in Bobby Labonte's No. 47 Toyota Camry. And he's on NASCAR's rules and competitions committee in addition to doing his television work.
"I knew I needed to do (television analysis) for a lot of reasons," Daugherty said. "If I didn't accept the opportunity, being an African-American male, then there might not be an opportunity for someone else like me to do it."
