Few plays are as close to their subjects as "Amadeus." Peter Shaffer's 1980 Tony Award winner, revived on Broadway under original director Peter Hall, has eerie echoes of its own theme. Mainly that the play's central character, 18th-century composer Antonio Salieri, churns out conventional hits that won't stand the test of time. The play itself is an international success that became an equally celebrated movie. But it's already showing its age and will, in time, be justly forgotten. "Amadeus" explores the clash between the mediocre Salieri and the godlike genius of his young rival, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Peter Hall's production has a similar conflict - between Shaffer's mediocre script on the one hand, and some splendid acting on the other. For while David Suchet's performance as Salieri and Michael Sheen's as Mozart may not be works of divine inspiration, they do work miracles with unpromising material. "Amadeus" begins in Vienna in 1823 when the dying Salieri is setting tongues wagging. His apparently senile ravings suggest that, decades before, he poisoned the great Mozart. Salieri then takes us back to the 1780s, promising to reveal the truth. "Amadeus," then, for all its artistic airs, is at heart an old-fashioned whodunit. As such, it is, like Salieri's music, uninspired but slickly competent. The problem is that it has pretensions to profundity. Shaffer wants it all to add up to a big play about Man, God and Art. But instead of weaving his thoughts into drama, he bludgeons us with windy rhetoric. Good plays embody the writer's thoughts in the actions of the characters. But in "Amadeus," Shaffer has so little faith in our ability to get the point that he underlines it again and again. And he doesn't even manage to match what we're being told with what we're seeing and hearing. Salieri, for example, is supposed to have been a good and generous man before he met Mozart. But because we never see him being good or generous, his conversion has no dramatic impact. Mozart, meanwhile, is written as a stupid and incredibly irritating boy. But every time we hear a snatch of his glorious music in the play, that notion is destroyed. The gap between one and the other is a hole the play never fills. This is Hall's seventh production of "Amadeus," and in some ways, it shows. He seems to have given up on solving its basic problems. Instead, he creates - with the aid of William Dudley's shimmeringly beautiful designs - a smooth machine for the performers. They, in turn, drive it as far away from the brink of melodramatic bombast as they possibly can. Suchet follows such stars as Paul Scofield and Ian McKellen in the role of Salieri, and shows himself worthy of such company. Although he can't avoid the overblown nature of many of his lines, he manages to be at once commanding and skeptical, letting rip when he has to but retaining a wry awareness of his own absurdity. When he has a really well-written scene to play, as in his attempt to seduce Mozart's wife (played by the impressively sharp Cindy Katz), we see how riveting he can be with the right material. In some respects, Sheen is even more impressive because his role is so much sillier. Yet he manages, in the silent details of his hesitations and reactions, to be genuinely moving. Together, they achieve something that Shaffer's play talks about but can't produce: the transformation of mediocrity into art.
An implacable and unjust God, the spirit of genius and the mediocrity of mankind are among the concepts floating through Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus," which reappeared at the Music Box Theatre last night after not having been seen in New York since 1983.
What a wonderfully entertaining piece of work it is, still fresh thanks to changes by Shaffer but now perhaps just a tiny bit gilded.
Set in the rococo world of late 18th-century Vienna, it tells of the great composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, his sad adventures in the court of Emperor Joseph II, and his early death.
There is, of course, a tantalizing but unfounded legend about Mozart possibly having been poisoned by Antonio Salieri, a fashionable but essentially mediocre court composer who, according to the story, killed his talented rival because of envy, despite having surpassed Mozart in fame.
Shaffer paints a picture of Salieri as a man who is furious with God for making the bratty Mozart a genius, while he, who has devoted himself to God's service, is merely a well-connected craftsman.
Ironically, God has made Salieri one of nature's critics. He is not only sharply aware of his own shortcomings but is also the only contemporary capable of recognizing Mozart's genius.
Shaffer provides a deliciously flavored and amusing picture of the Viennese court of the time, and gives us two wonderful, actor-friendly portraits of Salieri and Mozart, the latter seen as an arrogant, scatologically minded child.
The play, directed with exquisite style by Peter Hall, who staged it originally, and with new and brilliant designs by William Dudley, uses a rather different version of the text from its last Broadway showing, which itself varied from the London original.
Shaffer has again titivated it. (For example, we no longer have Mozart bad-mouthing his own first operatic triumph, "Idomeneo.") But the major change is in humanizing the once-demonized Salieri. And Shaffer has almost completely rewritten the final confrontation between him and the dying Mozart.
It is perhaps fairer to Salieri but possibly less fair to the play's dramatic force and balance. I preferred a more wicked, more conniving, and yes, more demonized, Salieri. The two main characters now appear, partly through the performance, to embody the thrust and argument of Shaffer's thesis.
Michael Sheen is fantastic as Mozart. The man has all the makings of a great actor. This Mozart is wild, ridiculous, rebellious, childish and unfettered -- yet all the time Sheen convinces you of the man's brilliance.
David Suchet, known here as Agatha Christie's TV Poirot, is also a fine performer, with a flawless technique that works like clockwork. Even so, he holds back, deliberately perhaps, on the raw spontaneity that electrifies Sheen's Mozart. He is Everyman faced with Genius.
This new production is handsomely acted, particularly by Terence Rigby, as the Italianate Count Orsini-Rosenberg, and David McCallum, who is pitch-perfect as the vague, abstracted Emperor Joseph.
Here is the kind of thoughtful yet immensely enjoyable play that we get far too rarely on Broadway these days.
There are books that are aptly called good reads. Well, "Amadeus" is a good look -- the stage equivalent of a page-turner. I loved it. With reservations. It's not Mozart.
Certain actors seem haloed in heat, even in cold climates. In the less than fiery new revival of Peter Shaffer's ''Amadeus,'' which opened last night at the Music Box Theater, a 30-year-old Welshman named Michael Sheen projects the kind of air-warping waves given off by blacktop in the August sun.
It's not just that in this popular drama's title role, that of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Mr. Sheen is often in a state of manic motion; it's that his body temperature would seem to be several degrees higher than that of anyone else on stage. Watching him trace Mr. Shaffer's conception of a child prodigy grown up into prodigious childishness, you start to appreciate the derivation of the term star. This actor is so luminous it's scary.
New York theatergoers whose memories extend to 1980 might recall a similarly solar performance by another British actor, then little known in the United States, in the very same play. His name was Ian McKellen, and his role was not that played by Mr. Sheen in the current production, which has been directed (as was the original version) by the stage-savvy Peter Hall.
Mr. McKellen portrayed Antonio Salieri, Mozart's politically astute contemporary, rival and, the play has it, nemesis. That part has now been taken on by David Suchet, an accomplished actor who simply doesn't have it in him to blaze, at least not on this occasion.
For better or worse, this leads to a seismic shift in the work's center. And though one regrets to say it, it's mostly for the worse. In spinning a tale from historical gossip previously given dramatic life in Aleksandr Pushkin's playlet and Rimsky-Korsakov's opera, both titled ''Mozart and Salieri,'' Mr. Shaffer had the inspired idea of measuring genius through its impact on an artist who would never possess it. Originally produced in London in 1979 with Paul Scofield as Salieri, the drama was translated into an Oscar-winning 1984 movie directed by Milos Forman and starring F. Murray Abraham. On the stage and on film, ''Amadeus'' belonged squarely to Salieri, a man cancerous with envy and at war with the God who has denied him the gifts he so covets.
Though it is said that Roman Polanski's Mozart ran away with the play in European productions some years ago, this is the first ''Amadeus'' I've seen that lets its title character take over altogether. It could be argued that this is yet another instance of divine injustice. Poor old Salieri; he doesn't even have a play to call his own anymore.
This is partly a consequence of Mr. Shaffer's having rethought Salieri's character over the last two decades and decided that the fellow had too much of the melodrama villain about him. In this rewritten ''Amadeus'' Salieri has a louder conscience, and it leads him to a new scene of openly expressed contrition. Unfortunately, this takes place in the presence of Mr. Sheen's Mozart, who by now is looking into the chasm of his imminent death with such raptness that it's hard to pay attention to what Mr. Suchet is saying.
Known to television audiences as Agatha Christie's self-admiring Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, Mr. Suchet keeps swagger to a minimum here, substituting arch glances to the audience that signal the play's copious ironies. His Salieri is basically the awed onlooker, a witness to the ineffable brilliance of a younger man lacking the Machiavellian skills for survival in courtly Vienna.
He often comes across as something like a docent in a museum, a smoother variation on the tourist-deceiving heroine of Mr. Shaffer's ''Lettice and Lovage,'' though with far less sense of drama. Salieri becomes a lens through which the audience perceives Mozart, like the proverbial cats looking at a king.
This might work better if Salieri didn't have pages-long monologues in which he charts the rise and fall of his and Mozart's fortunes. All the same, the shivery thrill of ''Amadeus'' traditionally came from letting a man who fashions himself as the patron saint of mediocrities finally assume star status. Salieri at last has his chance to strut and fret his hour (well, closer to three hours) upon the stage, and he is determined to make the most of it, starting with his introductory invocation to summon the audience as his confessors.
Mr. Hall's staging plays with the crowd-baiting audacity of this conceit, right down to having the audience reflected in the mirrors of William Dudley's set of ghostly scrims and reflective surfaces, underscored by Paule Constable's crepuscular lighting. Yet there is also an aura of anticlimax throughout. It's evident even in the use of recorded Mozart music (overseen by Matt McKenzie), which has an intrusive abruptness when it should bleed seamlessly into the fabric of the production.
Correspondingly, Mr. Suchet repeatedly passes on opportunities for coups de theatre. The transformation of the aged Salieri of the play's beginning into a robust 31-year-old is underplayed into near nonexistence. And the scene where Salieri, examining scores by Mozart, swoons in reaction to their compositional brilliance -- rendered as a Miltonian fall by Mr. McKellen -- is here a plebeian thud.
There is nothing remotely plebeian about Mr. Sheen's Mozart. Mr. Shaffer has drawn noisy criticism for representing Mozart as a scatological, foulmouthed, father-obsessed creep with a hyena cackle. Yet Mr. Sheen elicits a real poetry from the role, an undulating pattern of shock-provoking goonishness and abject apology that lends a connecting air of compulsion to Mozart's spontaneous art and bad behavior. (Think John McEnroe acting out on a tennis court.)
It is not, however, a good sign when you find yourself marking the minutes when an actor isn't onstage, and there are long stretches unblessed by Mr. Sheen's presence. David McCallum (fondly remembered as the coolest sidekick of 1960's television in ''The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'') offers a splendidly droll portrait of royal fatuity as the Emperor Joseph II, and Cindy Katz brings a refreshing earthiness and pragmatism to Constanze, Mozart's wife, a part usually played as a fluffy, empty-headed kitten.
But the representation of double-dealing politics in imperial Austria starts to seem labored and repetitive without a volcanic Salieri to raise the emotional stakes. Scale down Salieri's villainy, and you sacrifice the guilty satisfactions of watching just how evil banality can be.
It is hard, however, to imagine anyone not shrinking into the shadows before the white-hot Mozart of Mr. Sheen, who recently scored a critical triumph in London in John Osborne's ''Look Back in Anger.'' The perspiration that bedews him here as his character slides toward his early grave has the look of glitter, just as in his earlier scenes the glittering embroidery on his jacket (also designed by Mr. Dudley) seems as organic as sweat. Attention producers: if you're looking for someone to give physical credence to the romantic idea of the flame that consumes itself, Mr. Sheen is definitely your man.
With his wild eyes gaping as he scampers manically about the stage, Michael Sheen's Mozart is like a rabid raccoon in satin breeches. Watching his fevered activities with feigned detachment is the Salieri of David Suchet, a velvet wolf coolly stalking his prey. The rivalry between these two beasts, one wayward but good-hearted, the other domesticated but corrupted by envy, is the dramatic pulse of Peter Shaffer's celebrated "Amadeus," a Broadway and West End hit marking its 20th anniversary with a revival directed by Peter Hall, who helmed the original.
Actually, it's not the characters but the stage animals -- the actors themselves -- who must hold the attention in this respectable but uninspired production of a play that has not, with the passing of years and some tweaking, acquired the patina of an enduring classic. Two decades after its smash Broadway run, which led to a popular, Oscar-winning film, "Amadeus" merely seems like a literate, cheeky and rather long-winded vehicle for a pair of star turns. Whether Broadway debutants Suchet and Sheen provide the wattage necessary to attract sufficient audiences to a play whose acclaimed film version is readily available at the video store remains to be seen. (That $70 top ticket price won't help, either.)
When it opened on Broadway in 1980, the play's rude picture of Mozart as a crude and feckless man-child had the appeal of novelty: Here was one of the most revered artists of the Western world seen through audacious new eyes -- or at least revealed in gaudy new colors to the popular imagination. Surrounding his portrait of the artist as a young vulgarian, Shaffer spun a comic melodrama from the whispers of history suggesting that Mozart's contemporary, the court composer Antonio Salieri, had a hand in his untimely death.
Shaffer's Salieri narrates the play, which follows the two composers' diverging fortunes over a decade at the Viennese court of Emperor Joseph II (a nicely understated David McCallum). The drama unfolds as a long confessional flashback. In 1781, Suchet's courtly, portly Salieri is ensconced in the Austrian capital when Mozart arrives from the provinces trailing a glorious history as a performing prodigy and a composer of astonishing speed and accomplishment.
Salieri is soon thoroughly unhinged by the galling contrast between the celestial sounds of Mozart's music and the puerile buffooneries of the man himself. His beef isn't with Mozart but with God: That this womanizing ruffian should be chosen to deliver the music of the heavens, while the devout Salieri is doomed to be the conduit of more mundane sounds, is too cruel to be borne. Salieri vows to take revenge on such an unjust God, and the destruction of Mozart's career will be the instrument of his vengeance.
The most famous piece of music criticism in history -- that Mozart's music featured "too many notes" -- is duly trotted out for a laugh here, but Shaffer's play suffers the opposite problem: "Amadeus" could in truth use a few more nuances. Professional envy is a fairly commonplace emotion to construct a three-hour play around, and Salieri's flashy fulminations against God's injustice and his machinations derailing Mozart's advancement are elaborated at eventually palling length.
The play's elementary dynamics place a heavy burden on its actors, who must flesh out the limited dimensions of the drama with bravura technique to keep the play crackling along. Previous Salieris have included heavyweights such as Paul Scofield in the play's London debut, Ian McKellen on Broadway and F. Murray Abraham in Milos Forman's film. Suchet takes a fairly dry, subtle approach to the role, cued by some rewriting by Shaffer that seeks to de-fang a portrait deemed too simplistically villainous. Unfortunately, a kinder, gentler Salieri dampens the play's melodramatic sizzle. Suchet intelligently renders the corrosion of this man's soul and spirit in light touches: sardonic asides to the audience, smarmy dissimulations, mournful or glowering glances. But there simply isn't enough emotional voltage in the performance.
By contrast, in an intensely physical, intensely felt performance, Sheen seems almost desperate to provide as much sheer theatrical vigor as he can. The idea that the voice of god can be heard in Sheen's grating whinny of a laugh is indeed appalling. But the actor also suggests a spirit of deep sensitivity beneath the shenanigans -- Mozart's face glows with excitement when he's caught up in a musical discussion, and the peerless, pristine beauties of Mozart's melodies could conceivably come from the haunted young man who seems always to walk in the shadow of Sheen's manic provocateur.
Hall's workmanlike direction doesn't always provide a very strong hand to guide us through the tale, which darts through the years in haphazard fashion. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether Salieri is merely narrating a scene or witnessing it -- at one point Mozart rails against Salieri's machinations as he stands looking blandly on, and you're not sure whether he's in the room or not. (William Dudley's unappealing, somewhat cheap-looking sets may be part of the problem.) In sketchy roles, most of the supporting performers make minimal impressions.
The production only deeply engages us in the grim final scenes. The spectacle of a genius dying penniless has an enduring, pathetic appeal, but Sheen and Suchet also invest it with an immediacy largely lacking elsewhere. "Where did it all go?" Sheen's delirious Mozart wonders with almost disinterested surprise, as Suchet's Salieri crumbles beside him. The play suddenly, finally -- and movingly -- arrests us with its contemplation of deep mysteries: the startling, strange workings of fate, the quietude of God in the face of suffering, the sad truth that posterity may be the only power, earthly or otherwise, that judges us with justice.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I cried out to the LORD when I was in trouble (and he answered me): | 1 I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. |
2 "LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a dishonest tongue!" | 2 Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. |
3 What more will be given to you, what more will be done to you, you dishonest tongue? | 3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? |
4 Just this: a warrior's sharpened arrows, coupled with burning coals from a wood fire! | 4 He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. |
5 Oh, I'm doomed because I have been an immigrant in Meshech, because I've made my home among Kedar's tents. | 5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar! |
6 I've lived far too long with people who hate peace. | 6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. |
7 I'm for peace, but when I speak, they are for war. | 7 I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war. |

Being the maharajah of Rewa used to mean not just the fun but also the necessity of killing 108 (or 109 or 111—no one seems to be able to agree on exactly how many) tigers before retiring your mustache wax, hanging up your pearls, and prancing off to your next incarnation. Apart from the pageantry and the opportunity to unleash vast quantities of hormones, bagging an "auspicious" number of the animals ensured the blessing of the Fates for the prince and his people. Not to mention the favors a viceroy might dispense if, as the honored member of your shooting party, he managed to "get" a tiger or two. The British thought the tiger a transgressive creature, one they smugly believed needed to be conquered to preserve the Indian jungle for grazing cattle and harvesting timber. Prodded by the raj, many maharajahs were all too happy to do business with bounty hunters.
All the back-scratching and perk-peddling in the Indian Empire ended in 1947, with Independence. As part of the deal struck with the new government after the raj dissolved and the British retreated, each prince was allowed to keep one shikargah, or private royal hunting reserve, from his former realm. Rewa's kept Bandhavgarh, 435 miles southeast of Delhi in Madhya Pradesh, the central state with the largest sweep of forests in India. This is Kipling country, near to where the boy-wolf Mowgli ranged with the predators who raised him in The Jungle Book.
Today, Bandhavgarh is a rigorously run national park (don't even think about going off track) with a holistic maintenance philosophy, a manned gate, strict hours (dawn to dusk, minus four hours from mid-morning to mid-afternoon), and one of the highest tiger densities—23 within the 40 square miles accessible to visitors—in the country. The other factors that make the chances of viewing a tiger so good are the relative openness of the tropical moist deciduous forest and the easy rapport the cats enjoy with the park's passenger elephants.
The November opening of Mahua Kothi, Madhya Pradesh's first luxury lodge, came not a moment too soon for voluptuary career safarists whose trips to Africa to track the Big Five, sad to say, don't quite produce the goose bumps they once did. No one's calling them jaded or blasé, but they are a demanding lot. (This group does not include me. No one believes me, but I am just as happy—maybe happier—watching a tawny Rajah butterfly as a rhinoceros.) Africa has more of the animals people traditionally want to see, and more spectacular displays of them, than India. But only India delivers the tiger.
Notwithstanding the wealth of flora and fauna at Bandhavgarh, compared to safaris in Africa—where it can begin to seem that there are prides and sounders of mammals around every corner—the expeditions folded into a stay at Mahua Kothi are more discreet and nuanced. The lodge is a joint venture between Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, the Nepalese industrialist Binod Chaudhary, and Conservation Corporation Africa, with CC Africa supplying the style, which it describes, not inaccurately, as "sophisticated simplicity," and interpretive wildlife expertise. CC Africa's ethos also shapes the service, which manages the nearly impossible task of being human, subtle, and comprehensive all at the same time. The standards are the same ones the company has used to build an empire of 40 lodges in Africa. (Before this trip I'd stayed in Kwandwe Ecca Lodge, Phinda Vlei Lodge, and Phinda Rock Lodge.) At $600 per person per night in high season, Mahua Kothi is near the bottom of the company's most exclusive portfolio of lodges, falling between Kirkman's Kamp and Phinda Mountain Lodge, both in South Africa, and well below Mnemba Island in Tanzania, at $975 the most expensive property—and it has no safari component. Mahua Kothi is first in a circuit of CC Africa/Taj lodges on the edge of tiger reserves in Madhya Pradesh and the state of Uttaranchal, to the north.

Terrible for moulting!
By Homemaker Henrietta
from Lancashire
Had this blanket a year now. It has moulted badly. I ended up brushing it with a stiff brush, but it still moults. Sick of fluff all over the bedroom carpet and our clothes. It is a very warm blanket and is easy to wash and dry, but the moulting spoiled it for me.
I will be buying this product again

Warhead Hunter | |||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Warhead Hunter is a challenge and achievement/trophy for the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road. To obtain this achievement/trophy, you must find and detonate all 30 warheads in the Divide. Any detonated warheads leave behind burning fire. This can be accomplished after finishing the story of Lonesome Road by revisiting these locations.
Hopeville (5)Edit
- (Required) After retrieving the laser detonator in the marked men camp, you have to blow up a warhead on a truck bed to leave the area.
- Head back to the Hopeville Missile Silo Bunker exit. Another warhead is in front of the Hopeville women's barracks across from the destitute gas station.
- (Required) In the back of a truck blocking the main path to the marked men base.
- Following the path to the collapsed overpass tunnel entrance, it branches before reaching the marked men base. At the marked men supply outpost along the right-hand path is the warhead. It is directly in front of you if you fast travel to the Supply Outpost.
- (Required) In the very southeastern-most corner of the marked men-run ruined city you'll find another warhead in the center of the broken-down trucks and vehicles blocking the bridge to the collapsed overpass tunnel entrance.
The High Road (4)Edit
- After leaving the Collapsed Overpass Tunnel, and moving along past the first group of marked men, it is at the base of the path up to The Crow's Nest. Beware another group of marked men.
- The next warhead is surrounded by deathclaws in the middle of the Ruined highway interchange area.
- As you near the end of the highway, you'll come across a fork. Take the right path that heads downward toward a collapsed tunnel and a ruined vehicle. A warhead is near the "Smitty's Diner" sign, near the Junction 7 Rest Stop.
- After the last warhead, now take the left fork leading to Ashton silo control station. When you come upon the marked men camp, head southeast towards the back of the camp. Tucked in with the rocks behind a truck is a warhead.
The Courier's Mile (2)Edit
- As you enter The Courier's Mile, you'll see a fork. As you take the right one, you'll be able to see a warhead up ahead in the distance among the destroyed buildings behind the deathclaws.
- Back and along the left road, you'll come to a path and a clearing on your left full of marked Men. Tucked away in the back with the ruined buildings is a warhead.
The Divide - before the Cave of the Abaddon (5)Edit
- As you exit the Ashton Silo on the Sunstone Tower rooftop, head to and peek down over the western edge. Below, on the left-hand side of a large white "On Solid Ground!" billboard near a large, collapsed building you'll see a warhead.
- On the opposite side of the same billboard from the last warhead is another.
- (Required) From Sunstone Tower, head southwest. Tucked between the boulders is a warhead you have to detonate to continue along.
- Head around to the right from the last warhead. Up among the rubble on your right, you'll see only the tip of a buried warhead sticking out near the end of the building with the white old world flag on it.
- (Required) Head northwest from the last warhead. You'll see another warhead wedged in-between the rocks.
The Divide - before Ulysses' Temple (8)Edit
- After reaching the Boxwood Hotel Roof, head southeast. Behind a pipe gushing water you'll find the den of Rawr, the deathclaw. One is embedded in the ceiling.
- After defeating Rawr, another is used to leave the den.
- (Required) Further along from the last two, at the base of a ruined building where some marked men are shooting from you'll spot a warhead.
- After passing under the building using the path created from the last warhead, look up and to the right. In the distance (above the entrance to the Waste Disposal Station area) you'll see a warhead sitting next to a marked man sniping at you.
- (Required) Head south from the toppled building. Around another gushing pipe, up among rocks, you'll find one.
- After detonating the previous warhead, a path leading up will be created. After climbing up, you'll be atop the toppled over building. Going around to the right will take you up to the entrance of the Wastewater treatment plant. The warhead is on the rocks to the left of this entrance.
- Look out southwest from this area and you'll see one atop the nearby building in the farthest corner.
- High up and to the right of the entrance to Ulysses' Temple.
Ulysses' Temple (6)Edit
- Next to you as you walk in, to the right.
- To the left as you walk in, along the wall next to large missile.
- Further to the right between two large missiles.
- Hidden in recess behind first large missile along right wall.
- Further to the left between large missiles.
- To the right of center walkway.

Photos: Ten best places to see Colorado fall color
Change is in the air -- and in plenty of trees. Each year around this time, always-beautiful Colorado becomes even more spectacular as leaves turn from their usual lush color to a wide array of hues. But where are the best places in the state to revel in this glorious transformation? Colorado.com has assembled a top-ten list of sites that stretch across the state. But a warning: The number one pick is currently closed due to the federal shutdown. Count down the choices below, complete with photos and Colorado.com text.Big photos below.
Number 10: Front Range Foliage
"Peak to Peak Scenic and Historic Byway is Colorado's oldest, having been established in 1918. The byway starts in Boulder and offers unmatched views of the Continental Divide and its dramatic fall colors. Though the byway is less than 60 miles in length, there are numerous stop off points along the route, including Rocky Mountain National Park, Golden Gate Canyon State Park, the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, and the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, all of which offer their own unique vantage points for leaf peepers."
Number 9: Dallas Divide
"Colorado Hwy. 62 over the Dallas Divide represents an epic fall Colorado drive. Starting near Ridgway, visitors can get an amazing view of Mount Sneffels, one of Colorado's 58 14ers, and the expansive Sneffels Wilderness Area, which offers several hiking trails for those wishing to venture out further. The route eventually connects with Hwy. 45 and Lizard Head Pass, which offers views of Wilson Peak, the very mountain that inspired the iconic Coors logo."
Continue to keep counting down the ten best places to see Colorado fall color.

Over the last decade, research systems designed to acquire high-resolution multispectral images of paintings and other artworks have been developed, but few of these have reached the open market. Now, AA&R have built a new generation of imaging scanner capable of operating at higher resolutions across a wider range of the electromagnetic spectrum, integrating advanced analysis systems as well. Whether your need is for high colour-accuracy images for reproduction, technical photography such as with X-rays and infrared to study artist's alterations and underdrawing, or non-invasive analysis for authenticity studies, then the AA&R scanner is for you.
In the ultraviolet-visible-infrared range the AA&R multi-scanner has a resolution of up to 400 pixels/cm (1000dpi) and can image over a range of 350-1700nm in 10nm steps at a full 12-bit in each channel. The coincident full-digital X-ray system gives precisely matched and aligned images down to a spatial resolution of 0.045mm at a similar bit depth. The analysis package includes elemental analysis by X-ray fluorescence to 0.07mm spatial resolution and molecular spectroscopy by fibre-optic Raman, both of which can be used for spot analysis or area mapping.
The design of the AA&R scanner allows unparalleled colour and spatial accuracy, important in achieving ultra-high quality reproductions as well as, for example, technical studies such as of fingerprints and brushstrokes. Our system gives accurate true-scale images (that is, the pixel size is directly related to the true size of the painting). By so tightly coupling all image types and analysis we can extract the maximum amount of information from the artwork without subjective interpretation. This true-scale imaging also allows for repeatability, an essential feature of scientific examination and long-term conservation studies.

6 Tips for Healthy Eating with Celiac Disease - Be a gluten sleuth.
Making the appropriate dietary changes is the most important way to treat celiac disease. Knowing what to eat — and what to avoid — will make all the difference.
Everything that goes in your mouth or touches your tongue needs to be screened for gluten. Read labels on vitamin supplements, toothpaste, mouthwash, cough medicine, and all over-the-counter medications. Talk with your pharmacist so that your prescription medications can be chosen with your special needs in mind (and look up gluten-free medicines at www.celiaccentral.org or www.celiac.com). Also, don't lick postage stamps or envelopes — the glue can contain gluten.

So I just can not make any general assumptions without some fairly specific information. The best bet would be to make an appointment with a nephrologist (or perhaps an endocrinologist), whichever your primary doc suggests. That specialist will be able to give you some specific recommendations. Every case is different and so what is good for one patient may be exactly wrong for the next patient.View Thread

A true measurement for GFR is somewhat tedious and time consuming to do, so most docs rely on the fast and easy eGFR. And in most cases, the results are good enough.
All of that said, and recalling that the number is not really 40 percent on a 0-100% scale, but 40 ml/min on a scale that really tops out at about 60 ml/min, 40 is somewhat reduced from the ideal level. Also bear in mind that everybody naturally loses a bit of renal function with age, so that needs to be accounted for. A level of 40 in an 80 year old is less of a concern than a level 40 in a 20 year old.
It probably does merit attention, if only to eliminate or reduce potential causes of additional damage in coming years.View Thread

(Best Syndication News) - The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new labeling requirements and testing standards for manufacturers of sunscreen that are sold over-the-counter. The final test requirements and product labeling will be in effect in one year.
The new regulation will limit the highest sunscreen rating to "SPF 50+." The FDA says that anything higher than 50, has not been proven to show anymore benefit than SPF 50 rating. The FDA suggests that consumers read both the front and back of the product label to determine the amount of protection, the sunscreen lotion or spray offers.
Products must pass testing for certain criteria in order to claim that it protects from the sun's rays. The manufacturers will have to follow new methods to test the sunscreen effectiveness as outlined by the FDA. The label will need to reflect the test results.
(Best Syndication News) On Thursday's Dr Oz show, Doctor Mehmet C Oz interviewed Jay, a 43-year old commissioned salesman. Besides determining how long Jay would live, he also gave him tips to improve his survival. The program also discussed the Glucomannan (konjac root fiber) supplement.
Jay was obese, had a family history of heard disease, ate the wrong food and drank beers every day. His lack of exercise and possible sleep apnea also weighed heavily on his mortality.
Jay's wife said he has high cholesterol, acid reflux and has been diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus, which is a precursor to esophageal cancer. She thinks he has sleep apnea because she hears him stop breathing at night. She is worried.
(Best Syndication News ) - Yo-yo dieting is when a person loses and regains weight in a continual cycle. Researchers from Ohio University – Athens found that mice who did yo-yo dieting outlived the mice that remained obese. The study will be presented today at The Endocrine Society's 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston.
The best option to living longer is to remain at a constant healthy weight. Lead investigator, Edward List, PhD, a scientist at Ohio University, Athens wanted to find out if yo-yo dieting is as harmful as it has been made out to be. He said that very little scientific evidence shows the harmfulness of yo-yo dieting.
The study used mice because they could easily control the diet as well as measure the duration of lifespan. One group was put in a yo-yo dieting regimen while the other group remained obese their whole life. The third group remained on a low fat diet as a control.
There were a total of 30 mice involved in this study. One group of 10 received only a high-fat diet, another group of 10 received only a low-fat diet, the remaining 10 were put on a four week high-fat diet and then a four week low-fat diet to simulate a yo-yo diet.
(Best Syndication News) As we age it becomes more difficult to lose weight, but there are some things we can do to take off the pounds. Dr. Oz said that our metabolism slows down and we naturally gain weight.
There are studies to back-up his claim. The Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) conducted a study and found that athletes, even if they continue to exercise, can't avoid putting on extra pounds. Men over the age of 50 lose muscle mass causing them to burn fewer calories.
On Monday's show, Dr. Mehmet Oz said that one of the scariest things in life is "mid-life weight gain". When you were young, it seemed like you could eat almost anything and not gain weight. But that changed in your 30s. He revealed his "Defy your age Diet".
(Best Syndication News) - Doctor Oz was outlined a 24-hour anti-aging plan to put a stop the aging process. On the segment "24 hours to stop aging" segment of the "Dr. Oz" TV show, he had Dr. Greenfield who is an Integrative Medicine Specialist as a guest on the show.
Morning – Prevent wrinkles by eating less sugar
Cut down on the sugar you eat for breakfast. Dr. Greenfield said that cutting down on sugar will help prevent damage to skin tissue. He explained that when sugar and protein combine, it causes less elasticity throughout the body. Less elasticity in the skin causes wrinkles.

My friends Ruth and Gillian had been telling me about their newest discovery: coffee with almond milk. According to Ruth, it's a Pugliese thing that you had to go all the way to Puglia to get. Gillian, instead, had it recently for breakfast at the newly opened Coramandel restaurant in Rome.
I'm a big lover of anything coffee. I love it hot and I love it cold. And as soon as summer begins I start making daily pilgrimages to Tazza d'Oro for granita di cafe or Fiocco di Neve for cafe affogato con zabione.
Usually, however, I am limited by the fact that I usually have to leave the house to grab one of these treats.
But last week I realized something really dangerous. After a quick trip to the supermarket down the road, I was able make this addictive treat in the comfort of my home, way too easily.
Latte di Mandorla is a southern Italian thing that traditionally is made by chopping up fresh almonds, letting them sit in water and sugar overnight, then squeezing the juices through a piece of muslin until you get an ambrosial, milky white almond drink.
But nowadays things have, of course, gotten much easier. Latte di Mandorla comes pre-made, in a milk carton, available at your local store (at least at mine).
So during these hot days of summer, my 11:00 am coffee break consists of iced almond coffee. It's what my sister Robin refers to as a novelty coffee drink. And yes, it's a bit Starbuckish. But that's ok with me.
Iced Coffee with Almond Milk
1/2 cup freshly brewed espresso
1/2 cup almond milk
I like my iced coffee strong, so I brew a pot of espresso. I let it cool off for about 15 minutes, then add the cold milk. Fill the glass with as much ice as will fit. And to get the full, almost milkshake-like effect, you really need to use a straw. Trust me.

Psychology research students presented the results of their projects at conferences in Staten Island, New York; Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Oswego, New York, on April 18 and 25. A total of 66 students co-authored 14 presentations. The research took place in the laboratories of Professors Cyndy Scheibe, Mary Turner DePalma, Leigh Ann Vaughn, and Barney Beins.
Nancy Rader presented two research papers, one co-authored by psychology alumnus Albert Sahlstrom '06, at the recent biennial convention of the Society for Research in Child Development in Denver.
Assistant professor of psychology Jeffrey Holmes published an article, entitled "Religiosity, Meaning in Life, and Clinical Symptomotology: A Comparison of African-American and European-American College Students." The research appeared in the most recent issue of the Journal of College Student Psychotherapy.
Leigh Ann Vaughn, associate professor of psychology, and Sarah Hesse '06, Zhivka Petkova '06, and Lindsay Trudeau '06 have published an article titled, "'This Story Is Right On': The Impact of Regulatory Fit on Narrative Engagement and Ppersuasion," in this month's issue of the European Journal of Social Psychology.
The research showed that when people read a story, feelings of rightness from regulatory fit (consistency between regulatory state and strategic means) can suggest that the story is "right on" relative to feelings of wrongness from regulatory nonfit. Under these conditions, individuals who are experiencing feelings of rightness engage more with the narrative and are more persuaded by its implicit messages.
Assistant Professor Bill Hudenko and his students Mike Magenheimer, Sean Sunderland, Julia Lyon, and Matti Hautala presented their research in a poster presentation at the annual convention of the Eastern Psychological Association. In addition, Nadine Wells from Professor Barney Beins's research team presented two posters at the convention in Pittsburgh.

I had great luck with my first Rowenta steam iron - lasted for years of daily use. My second, and now my third have only worked well for about a year or so. Still reluctant to give up on the brand, I bought a new one last week. It cycled on & off all the time I was ironing one shirt - wouldn't hold enough heat on the cotton setting to keep steaming and began to drip. I called their customer service to make sure I was using it properly and I was. Rep could not determine what might be wrong. Thought I had a "lemon" so I exchanged it for another (same model) & it did the same thing. I'm ready to move on to another brand. All I want is a reliable iron that has enough power to iron cotton/linen with good steam and no dripping. |

My DM swears by the tried & true classic Black & Decker. I thought it was the metal plate that made the difference (no coating on it) and found a great deal on a Shark on closeout. While the Shark does a good job, DM's B&D still does a better job. Hope this helps! |

Another B&D Classic fan here. However, it's very heavy compared to the Rowenta, so if you have any kind of wrist problems, maybe not the best choice. |
Thank you for the replies. So far, no wrist problems, so a heavier iron isn't an issue. Except that her's had a fabric cord, the photo of the B&D Classic reminds me of the iron my mother used for most all the years I lived at home. Amazing how well things were made back then. My mom was fastidious about clothes - and even bedding - being nicely pressed and she ironed cotton dress shirts for my dad and her white nurse's uniforms for decades with that iron! |

I'm a daily iron user, being a quilter. All steam irons have one thing in common, they all become incontinent! LOL, eventually they all begin to leak, and it doesn't matter how expensive they are. That's why I don't spend a lot on any one, and simply plan on replacing every once in awhile. You may have better results at keeping your iron working if you use distilled or purified water. I have a Rowenta that I like, mostly because it heats quickly, and because the cord retracts into the case which makes storing it neat and tidy. If you want a lot of feedback on irons, post your question in one of the sewing or quilting forums here. |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 14:12
Another vote for the B&D classic. |
I have a Panasonic Steam/Dry iron NI-C78SR that I absolutely love. I purchased it after years of using the $10-12 irons. It has excellent steam function. I haven't noticed any leaking. We use distilled water. The cord also retracts. It's a little heavy depending on what you're used to. I couldn't bring myself to pay the cost of a Rowenta, so this was the compromise. I don't regret it at all. So far it's been 3 years and going strong. |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 16:02
B&D classic, no question. The Rowenta I had didn't hold up as long, or do as good a job and it was 3 times the cost. |
- Posted by gigelus2k13 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 17:57
My Rowenta of 7 years is still running strong and without leaks. However, early on I had to do a little surgery on it and removed the crappy motion/attitude sensor module, as it kept turning off the iron for no reason. I'm still convinced that manufacturers add useless features just to annoy their customers, my Rowenta works so much better without that stupid module! |
Love my Rowenta; 8+ years and still going strong. MJ |

It will change your muscle memory -- in a good way. (see link) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Even better than its reviews
Does Panasonic still make the ones with a removable water container? Between that and the retractable cord, my 15-year-old Panasonic is very convenient, and the spray/mist button works better than most as well. Some of the new ones have a diamond-shaped soleplate rather than a triangular one that works well in both directions. |

Three Hot Gospel Stars Hit TBNs Praise The Lord
Tyler Perry protegee Tamela Mann, Stellar Award winner Jonathan Nelson and Nashville soul singer Wess Morgan are all appearing on the Tuesday, July 22, 2008 episode of TBNs Praise the Lord program. Guest host Jason Crabb will interview each of the singers following their performances before a live studio audience in Atlanta.
Fresh off the set of a new Madea movie and filming the upcoming Meet the Browns TV series, Tamela Mann is reminding people that shes a singer first. Shell be singing songs from her latest CD/DVD project The Tamela Mann Live Experience (TillyMann Music Group) which features Tamelas smoking house band, Myron Butler & Levis thick choir vocals, special lighting effects and three slick costumes changes. That project has earned Tamela three Stellar nominations in the categories of Female Vocalist of the Year, Producer of the Year and Contemporary Female of the Year.
Jonathan Nelson is a Stellar Award winning songwriter making his national debut as a singer on his latest project Right Now Praise (Integrity). Nelsons radio single My Name is Victory is currently #11 on Billboards Hot Gospel songs chart and climbing. The collection is rounded out with a dozen other songs featuring gospel luminaries such as Sheri Moffet-Jones on Yes, Out There, William Murphy on Great and Mighty, Nikki Ross on Already Mine and Nelsons twin brother Jason on Right Now Praise.
The newest and most exciting face on the gospel landscape is Wess Morgan. A former coke addict who sings about Gods pulling him through his trials and tribulations on his new CD Look at Me Now (Oak Tree/Bow Tie World) is watching his single You Brought Me Out with gospel legend Daryl Coley rise on the radio singles chart. What God has given to me is not just for the church, Morgan says. Theres such a yearning in me, a longing to go outside of the Christian community and be a story of hope for people of all walks of life. Whether you are a Christian or not, if you arent an addict, I bet you know someone who is. Its not about religion, not about dos and donts. Its about an experience with God. Hes no respecter of persons. He went where I was and found me. He didnt find me in the church. Gods love pursued me and tracked me down like a hound dog.

Rules Variant for Vampire: the Eternal Struggle
All of the vampires in your crypt must be of generation 6 or older.
All of the vampires in your crypt must be of the same clan. You may NOT combine Sabbat and Camarilla Clans.
You will receive 6 transfers per turn and start the game with 30 pool, (transfers still work up from 1- 1,2,3,4,5,6,6,6,6).
You will start the game with six pool worth of Clan Specific Master Cards, Clan Specific Allies, or Clan Specific Equipment in play. If a card does not have the specific clan symbol that you are playing on it you may NOT start the game with it in play. If the card does not require pool to bring into play you may NOT start the game with it in play UNLESS IT IS UNIQUE. These cards will be separate from your deck, and will enter play at the beginning of your first turn.
If you choose to start with Clan Specific Equipment your vampires must still take actions to acquire it. This action will be at the usual +1 stealth.
If you choose to start with a Clan Specific Master Card that must be played on a minion, you must play it on one of the vampires in your starting crypt.
All requirements to bring a card into play are assumed to be met for the starting cards. For example, if you choose War Ghouls, they are not sacrificed to themselves. But, all War Ghouls brought into play during the rest of the game must meet the normal requirements of sacrificing a retainer or an ally.
You library may contain no more than 90 cards.
Inner Circle members can use all cards requiring "Prince or Justicar". For example, they may play all 6 Tradition cards and call the Archon vote or other votes requiring "Prince or Justicar". ~~~~~WOTC's ruling that Inner Circle members do not qualify for these actions is silly as Inner Circle members create Justicars and give them their authority in the role-playing game and should therefore be able to do everything that a Justicar can.
(certain cards become a lot more useful or see a lot more use in this environment, for example: Fear of Mekhet, Temptation of Greater Power, The Signet of King Saul)

Information on Grooming Your NewfoundlandWhat you need:
Never bathe a dog that is matted! Your dog must be completely brushed out prior to any bathing. Never trim a dirty or wet dog. Bathing: Show dogs must be bathed a day before every show and in between shows; every 15-20 days for black and brown dogs and every 10-15 days for Landseers. Frequent bathing removes oil from the coat, so the products used must be of good quality. Prepare diluted shampoo and conditioner. Put your dog in the tub and wet him thoroughly with warm water. Massage diluted shampoo into the coat, including the muzzle, between the eyes and under the ears. Be careful around these sensitive parts of the body! Rinse all shampoo out thoroughly. If the coat is very dirty you can repeat the shampoo. Apply the diluted conditioner, wait a few minutes and rinse. Dry your dog with towels and put it on the grooming table. Drying: Use a blow dryer to dry the coat of your Newfie. Begin by blowing out all excess water from the coat, being especially careful around the eyes, nose and ears. Next start to dry the rest of the coat (always downwards). First dry the back (upper part of the neck, back and croup). If your dog has a slightly wavy coat you can brush while drying, being careful not to scratch the skin. Next do the lower part of the neck and left flank, then the belly, right flank, forequarters, hindquarters and tail. Dry the coat between the toes upwards. Dry the coat on the head (upwards on the top). When your dog is completely dry you can start to brush and comb it. Brushing and Combing: Start by brushing the entire coat, then comb it thoroughly. Your dog should never have mats!! Start combing from the lower part of the hindquarters. Lift the coat upwards with one hand, and comb the coat below your hand down to the skin proceeding towards the tail. Comb the second leg, then between the legs (carefully!) and the tail from tip to base. Next comb the back from the croup to the neck, and flanks from belly to back. Remember to comb carefully under the armpits, the forequarters, neck, under and behind the ears and the head. Cut the nails and clean the ears. Trimming: Before After You can start to groom your dog when it is completely dry, perhaps the next day. If this is your first time grooming your dog, don't do it before a show. Incorrectly groomed coats need time to grow out. The most important rule: it is better to cut less than too much! Good quality scissors are very important. Remember to comb out the entire coat carefully before grooming. Newfoundlands, must have medium length coat, without over-long and wispy bits of hairs. Groomed dogs MUST still have a natural appearance; be careful and don't leave visible cut marks! Paws
Start with the front paws. Beginning under the paw, cut the coat that grows between the pads
before after Cut the hind paws in the same manner. We will now use the thinning shears, and from now use only them and the comb. Cut only in direction of the coat, never upwards - comb the coat in the part you are working on and cut, comb and cut. Forequarters First even out the feathering. Begin on the back part of the leg, next the outside, then the inside. Cut the inside of the leg more if your dog has a narrow chest, but don't exaggerate! The front legs should prolong the line of the shoulder/upper legs. Do not leave any long coat - especially on the elbows! Trim all indesiderable wisps of coat on the shoulders and upper arms to make "clean" lines.
Look from behind and trim the coat downwards from croup to feet. Cut more on the inside leg if your dog moves close behind, less if moves correctly. Looking from the side note the angulations, cutting excess coat under knees and hocks. Because Newfoundlands must have short heels trim coat starting from the hocks downward at a 45° angle, and the lower part vertically (see illustration). Chest Coat on the chest often grows too long and needs to be trimmed quite a bit. Be especially careful trimming the throat. If coat below the breast-bone is too long it gives the illusion of short forelegs, so trim to a soft curve. Trim excess coat on the sides downwards from ears to the breast.
Start from the back going towards the front, left flank, then right flank. Trim coat on the belly and breast starting from the hindquarters towards the armpits. Don't cut too much or it will give the impression of legs that are too long or too short. Lift the foreleg and trim under the armpit blending the line of the chest with the underline. Repeat with the second foreleg. Now examine body of your dog from the rear. The shape of the underline must be rounded to the flanks, it is insufficient to trim only the underline.
Trim more behind the armpits, or when moving the coat here will appear to be too long. Topline Sometimes the topline doesn't need trimming. If coat on the neck and croup is very thick so it looks as if your dog has a mane and is too high in the croup, use a dematting comb to remove the excess undercoat.
Tail Trimming the tail is only necessary if it looks like a flag. Head Start from the ears. Trim coat so it doesn't project past the edge of the ear, always combing downward. The tips of the ears must be rounded not pointed. Trim under the ears. Trim any greasy coat growing under the ears, and coat on the cheek at the base of the ear. Often behind the ears the coat is soft and over-long, damaging the shape of head. Trim it downward from the earset. Comb coat on top of the head upward and trm to obtain a rounded shape. Stand the dog on the ground and ask somebody to show move it for you. You will see any areas that need corrections. Show dogs need to be trimmed once every 2-3 weeks.

radon in water from public water supplies indicate that elevated concentrations of radon in water occur primarily in the New England states, the Appalachian states, the Rocky Mountain states, and small areas of the Southwest and the Great Plains.
Because radon is easily released by agitation in water, many uses of water release radon into the indoor air, which contributes to the total indoor airborne radon concentration. Ingestion of radon in water is also thought to pose a direct health risk through irradiation of sensitive cells in the gastrointestinal tract and in other organs once it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Thus, radon in drinking water could potentially produce adverse health effects in addition to lung cancer.
Drinking-water quality in the United States is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act originally passed in 1974. In the 1986 amendments to the act, EPA was specifically directed to promulgate a standard for radon as one of several radionuclides to be regulated in drinking water. Because of delays in implementing the regulation of radionuclides in drinking water, EPA was sued. In a consent decree, EPA agreed to publish final rules for radionuclides in drinking water, including radon, by April 1993.
EPA proposed national primary drinking water regulations for radionuclides in 1991. Because radon is a known carcinogen, its maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) was automatically set at zero. A maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 11,000 Bq m-3 was subsequently proposed as the level protective of public health and feasible to implement taking costs into account. Public comments on the proposed regulations suggested that the MCL for radon be set somewhere from less than 1,000 Bq m -3 to 740,000 Bq m-3; a large majority favored setting the MCL at value higher than 11,000 Bq m-3.
In 1992, Congress directed the Office of Technology Assessment to analyze the EPA health risk assessment and outline actions that could address regulation of radon, considering both air and water. Also in 1992, the Chaffee-Lautenberg amendment to the EPA appropriation bill for FY 1993 directed the agency to seek an extension of the deadline for publishing a final rule until October 1993 and to submit a report, reviewed by EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB), to Congress by July 1993. That report was to address the risks posed by human exposure to radon and consider both air and water sources, the costs of controlling or mitigating exposure to waterborne radon, and the risks posed by treating water to remove radon. The SAB review of the report questioned EPA's estimates of the number of community water supplies affected, the extrapolation of the risk of lung cancer associated with the high radon exposures of uranium miners to the low levels of exposure experienced in domestic environments and the magnitude of risk associated with ingestion. The SAB report also emphasized that the risk of cancer from radon in domestic settings was a multimedia issue and that the risk for radon in water must be considered within the context of the total risk from radon, which is dominated by radon in indoor air. The Office of Management and
