BLM announces public scoping period for San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plan
Price, Utah—The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Price Field Office announces that the public scoping period for the San Rafael Desert Travel Management and Transportation Plan Environmental Assessment (EA) will run Jan. 21, to Feb. 21, 2015.
The purpose of public scoping is to determine relevant issues that will guide the planning process and influence the scope of the environmental analysis, including development of alternatives. As a result of the travel management planning process, each route on lands managed by the Price Field Office will receive a designation of "open," "closed," or "limited to designated routes." The travel management plan will be subdivided into five areas with a separate EA and 30-day public scoping period for each area. The first area to be analyzed is the San Rafael Desert area, which includes the San Rafael Desert south of I-70 and east of Hwy 24 to the Green River and Emery County line.
The BLM will host two open houses where the public can provide written input on route designation criteria and travel routes in the planning area that are important to their use of public lands. These meetings will also help inform the public about the BLM's travel management planning process.
In advance of the open houses, the public is encouraged to view a map of the planning area and current route inventory maps on the Environmental Notification Bulletin Board at: https://www.blm.gov/ut/enbb/index.php (search for project name "San Rafael Desert").
Written comments will be accepted at the public scoping meetings and throughout the scoping period which ends Feb. 21, 2015. Please reference "San Rafael Desert Travel Management" when submitting comments. Comments may be mailed or emailed using the following:
BLM Price Field Office
125 South 600 East
Price, UT 84501
Informational open houses for the San Rafael Desert travel management area will be held at the following locations:
Jan. 21, 2015 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. John Wesley Powell Museum 1765 East Main St Green River, Utah 84525 |
Jan. 22, 2015 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Emery County Courthouse 75 East Main St Castle Dale, Utah 84513 |

Renee Fleming Finally Tackles Christmas
Soprano Renee Fleming has been a beloved figure on the operatic stage for years. So it's curious that Ms. Fleming has waited so long to release her first-ever Christmas album entitled Christmas in New York.
The recording features many guest appearances by New York-based musicians including Wynton Marsalis, Chris Botti, Rufus Wainwright and Gregory Porter. The album contains only two sacred works – In the Bleak Midwinter and Still, Still, Still. The rest of the songs are traditional lighter fair such as Winter Wonderland, Merry Christmas Darling and Central Park Serenade.
Christmas in New York is one of many new releases Classical 90.5 will feature in the days to come during the holiday season.

News of the disaster spread quickly through the backstages and front offices of Washington's theater world.
Eric Schaeffer, a local golden boy even at the age of 45 and with plenty of gray in his spiky hair, had suffered one of theater's stellar embarrassments. A new musical that he nurtured—and then directed—had transferred from a Washington run to Broadway only to be stoned by the critics and closed by its New York producers after a single performance.
The show was Glory Days, not an apt description of Schaeffer's misadventure on Broadway. Back in Washington, some heads shook in sympathetic disbelief; others nodded in self-satisfied vindication.
It was a rare public stumble for Schaeffer. Since cofounding Arlington's Signature Theatre company in 1990, he has reveled in repeated waves of positive buzz that echoed in New York, Los Angeles, and London. One critic wrote that Schaeffer "seems to pull a bigger rabbit out of his hat every year."
Would he now be brought low by the Broadway implosion of Glory Days, a modest coming-of-age tale by two local twentysomethings in their first musical-writing venture?
Not bloody likely, if only because of Schaeffer's skillful—and storied—promotional abilities. Then there is his well-developed web of connections not only within the arts establishment—and its wealthy funders—but far beyond.
"I think big," Schaeffer said a couple of weeks after the Broadway bomb-out. "We're doing things that other people aren't doing."
But is Broadway a fixation for Schaeffer that trumps more homegrown considerations? And is that good for Signature and its audience?
"What's promotion of Eric Schaeffer, and what's promotion of Signature?" asks a senior figure in the Washington theater world. "That's a very tricky question."
Ten years ago Schaeffer said that he was happy he started here rather than going to New York and trying to hurdle all the roadblocks there. He still believes that.
"The kind of work we have done at Signature would never have gotten on in New York," Schaeffer says. "People would not have taken as many chances as we have taken."
Signature, he says, is "a great sandbox." And Signature's overseers, he says, are supportive of his forays beyond Washington.
"Our board is really great about this," Schaeffer says. "Because they're like, 'Go direct other places, Eric. You make those connections in other cities, and everything ends up coming back to the theater in the long run.' "
Schaeffer works on a three-year contract. As an employee of Signature, he says, his work is reviewed annually by the board's executive committee. "It's not a free ride by any means," he says, although observers say it seems close to that.
Schaeffer's Signature troupe moved in 2007 from grubby space on South Four Mile Run Drive to a glistening $16-million home with two well-equipped theaters in gentrified Shirlington. Different, and frequently challenging, shows have run simultaneously in the new venue.
Along the way, Schaeffer became an authoritative interpreter of Stephen Sondheim, to many the touchstone of musical theater in the late 20th century. The deliciously dark Sweeney Todd opened Signature's second season and won Schaeffer a Helen Hayes Award for directing. It was the first of his five Hayes awards, including one this year for his direction of Meet John Doe at Ford's Theatre. Signature productions and people have won more than 60 Hayes awards.
Schaeffer also has made a mark as the leading local exponent of the musicals of John Kander and Fred Ebb, creators of Cabaret, which led off Signature's sixth season, and Chicago. The company's just-completed 18th season finished with a Kander-and-Ebb festival that included a star turn by 75-year-old Broadway legend and Washington native Chita Rivera.
Heady stuff for Schaeffer, a guy with a BFA from Kutztown University in his native Pennsylvania Dutch country, who didn't quit his day job—as art director at WETA Channel 26—until Signature was firmly up and running.
One of Schaeffer's consistent gambles has been the presentation of new local works. So in January, Signature staged Glory Days, the product of two stagestruck young men who grew up in the Maryland suburbs. It's the story of four high-school misfits who get together not long after graduation only to discover the limits of their friendship.
Local reaction was mixed. Washington Post theater critic Peter Marks loved it, even though he had to admit in his January 25 review that "nothing much actually happens." A theater insider says that another Washington critic shot around an e-mail with the pivotal word "dreck."
About that time, John O'Boyle, a budding Broadway producer, had sent Schaeffer the script for a different work. Schaeffer said he urged O'Boyle to catch Glory Days because "it could have a future somewhere."
Schaeffer didn't think that "somewhere" would be West 50th Street in Manhattan. But by late April, he was surprised to be in New York directing a show—which he, the composer, and the writer tinkered with after the Arlington run—in previews at Circle in the Square. Marks seemed similarly surprised, and he backpedaled furiously in his review of Glory Days' Broadway opening.
It had been a quarter of a century since a Broadway musical folded after only one night: Dance a Little Closer by Charles Strouse (Bye Bye Birdie) and Alan J. Lerner (My Fair Lady).

Researchers Create Real Tractor Beams 111

Quoth wikipedia (from the "Optical Tweezers" article:
Optical tweezers (originally called "single-beam gradient force trap") is a scientific instrument that uses a highly focused laser beam to provide an attractive or repulsive force (typically on the order of piconewtons), depending on the refractive index mismatch to physically hold and move microscopic dielectric objects. Optical tweezers have been particularly successful in studying a variety of biological systems in recent years.
So does that mean this new method works on a different principle?

Body Dysmorphic disorder... Is that me?
By Forever 17 on August 17, 2011
Forever 17 Who is that lady in the mirror? I have asked this question for so long. What I see is not pleasant and I have a hard time accepting who looks back at me. When I was a young girl my stepfather was a very abusive alcoholic, and the every day rants about my weight have unfortunately carried on into my adult years. I have dealt with many eating disorders through out my life , and I am without a doubt my biggest critic.
I am at a point in my life where I am trying (keyword) to accept who I am inside and out. I have friends that have joked with me that I might have body dysmorphic disorder, and as we all get a good laugh in I have started to wonder if I might. I honestly love my life, and I have a great husband and amazing kids, I am truly blessed but it's the me I show the world I dislike. Is it odd to never feel pretty, no matter what or how hard you try? To only see every flaw and wonder if people look at you and feel grateful for not being you. To always obsess over every meal and get completely stressed out when your invited to dinner because you don't want to say, "well I don't eat carbs or sugar so I'm sorry but I cant eat that" and then assume they are giving you the once over and judging you for still being big. To weigh yourself daily and let that number decide how your day will go. To hate my face because all I see is the adult acne that ravaged its way across my face only to leave everyday reminders of its visit. To laugh at the thought of being sexy or naturally pretty. To not feel beautiful ever. I honestly without question do not like that lady in the mirror.
I seem to find all of the right words when it comes to my girls, they are always beautiful and have so much self love that I wish I could be more like them. They have seen my struggles and shamefully I have allowed them to hear my self hatred and I pray that does not damage them down the road. I would love to feel good about myself, but I like to self sabotage. My husband tells me I am beautiful everyday, and I almost always get embarrassed , feeling like he's patronizing me. Wondering if people wonder why he is with me. I absolutely hate compliments, and I am certainly not looking for them now, as much as I hope no one else out there has to know this pain I am hoping someone has come out the other side and might have some insight. My thoughts are always working against me when it comes to that woman in the mirror, and I never judge others on any level , I can see beauty in all around me except for myself.
Is it possible that who I see is not at all what the world see's, could I be that delusional? Do I have body dysmorphic disorder? And is there a way out?
Have any of you felt like this?

I came back from class to be greeted by an empty room. Bobby was nowhere to be found. I looked all over my C: drive, but there were no traces of him anywhere. I sat by my computer all day, waiting patiently for my best friend to return. Bobby finally staggered onto the screen around midnight.
Drunk and abusive, Bobby began to vomit all over the desktop.
"Where have you been?" I screamed, my heart on the verge of breaking.
"Well, if yous was a cute cartoon ahnimul and knew where you, where your roommate kept hish money, where would you fucking go?"
It seemed so obvious now. Pub closing time...
"What the fuck? What's your problem? You're going to pay me back, understand?"
"Looksh like you need the money more than me, Freak."
"Huh?" I was taken aback by his response.
"To pay off Dr. Sbaitso. He's gonna love this, yes - some jerk kid talking to a fucking cartoon. Haahaaha, freak!" Bobby drunkenly chuckled.
I was mad. I didn't need a psychiatrist to solve this problem, all I needed was an uninstaller. Although now that I look back on it, I realize should have deleted Bobby at this point, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I still had hope he would change.
Next morning, my day off, the monitor buzzed on. Bobby was in the corner, looking worse for wear.
Bobby was hungover and cranky, ready to go off at the slightest provocation.
"You're pathetic," I said offhand, disgusted at his appearance.
"Pathetic? PATHETIC? This coming from the moron who doesn't feed me for 36 hours STRAIGHT. Oh sure, I'm REAL pathetic."
"Christ, get over it, I said I was sorry."
"Ahh fuck you. I'm going out for some coffee and aspirin."
He tumbled offscreen. I later noticed that all the money in my wallet was missing.
Two hours later he appeared again, in the worst condition I had ever seen him.
Bobby was messed up that night, cut badly in a knife fight.
"My God, Bobby, what happened? Are you ok?" I shouted while doing a search on my harddrive for Norton Disk Repair.
"What does it look like?" He screamed back. "The bitch jumped me!"
"Why Bobby? What did you do?"
"I don't fucking know. Why should I fuckin' know? Bitch stole my shit! If I knew the bitch was gonna jump me, I wouldn't have gone fuckin out!" Bobby's blood began to clog my system tray.
"What did he take?"
"Your money an' stuff," Bobby replied callously.
I was shocked. "How did this happen Bobby?"
Bobby ignored me and started licking his wounds. He did this for five uncomfortable minutes during which he was totally unresponsive.

1. jumping through lava pit will make your character disappear: please do not attempt to access unfinished content
2. slide kicking Zealotus to death will make your character disappear: my bad
also will include map and keyboard based dialogue in future releases, thanks for the complaints, meant a lot.
This game is sick. just awesome. It is kind of easy. Slide ability is overpowered. you can flawlessly kill pretty much any boss with it. The standard aerial attack is more functional than any of the other attacks. Maybe either max the swings per jump to 1 or have the attackspeed for ground attacks to match that of the air attacks. Nice use of weapons and elements. This is one of the best games I've seen in a while. Veryyyyyy Well done. I don't say that lightly and I rarely give 5's. Well done you!
i defeated al the powered up bosses at lvl11 but i find the second powered up boss harder than the last and by the way how do u get at the place where the silent guy is siting because its too high to get there
Pretty damn awesome,too be honest i thought this was gonna a boring ragarok spoof,but this game proved me wrong
gameplay takes castlvania's feel come alive again,difficulty...ok i admit it was way too easy when you get double jump but still very entertaining
boss monsters
Majorous was alright although i can beat it and the improved one under 9 seconds by just spamming dropping slam
Wander actually proved competitive,gotta love a good sword fight
the succubus was good enough to have a dialogue,ok i admit i submitted to her at first sight,im a guy who likes monster girl what can i do XD
The Trio,i just cant get enough of killing these guys hence i even messed with them over and over blocking their attacks,i've even switch orders of which one i kill first and last
matched every location
A big thumbs up to you for using one of the music from Mana:Khemia(although for the trio maybe using the song Nefertiti or Stigmata would have been more epic)

Very cool atmosphere
Posted Jan 27, 2015Pros: Everything, including welcome champagne, awesome coffee in the am and delicious food at one site restaurant.
Cons: Parking is very expensive but it is Boston so I understand
The old jail turned into luxury hotel theme really works! The lobby is so beautiful with many comfy places to sit (on 4 floors that all overlook the middle), have a drink and people watch. Rooms were so nice...great beds and lovely bathroom with soft robe! Due to the nature of the nightlife (popular party hangout) not sure it's the best for kids.

Amazing "experience" hotel in the heart of Boston
Posted Jan 27, 2015Location: Located right in Boston, on the Charles River, the location is great for exploring Downtown and some nearby attractions.
The Liberty Hotel was fantastic. While no stranger to visiting Boston, this was our first stay to this property. It was surreal to see how the prison was converted into such a luxury property. The staff was extremely friendly, the various bars (Clink, Alibi, Catwalk) and the on-site restaurant (Scampo) all had delicious food and beverage options. The room (upgraded to Deluxe on check-in) was comfortable and spacious. Taking a few moments to read up on the history of the property really makes all the difference.

Unique Boston hotel
Posted Jan 24, 2015Entirely unique hotel converted from historic jail -- nicely integrated into new design. Room in tower standard, tho bathroom was especially nice. Settee and rug could've been a bit cleaner. And proximity to highways and subway means it's not as quiet as one would hope. Nearby Charles Street is very charming.

Gorgeous architecture, historical landmark!
Posted Jan 23, 2015Cons: Pillow size choice.
Location: Mass General Hospital next door. Restaurant 75 Chestnut perfect! Park down Charles street. You are in the heart of Beacon Hill District.
I love The Liberty, beautiful and in the heart of Beacon Hill and the redline T and next to one of the greatest hospitals in the world: Mass General Hospital. Lobby and service exquisite. However free Wi-Fi for only 2 devices. After that you're charged $14.95. Outrageous. Room was small and lacked pillow choices. But, I would easily stay in this hotel again. There's so much to love in the beauty of the building.

Nice hotel. Disappointing room
Posted Jan 19, 2015Lobby and restaurants were really nice with a pleasant;y unusual atmosphere. The standard room however was disappointing. Room was a bit dusty, no coffee making machine, no safe. For a hotel of this calibre, those should be standard. I would go again for drinks or restaurants, not to stay.
by A verified traveler
Overrated, overpriced
Posted Jan 17, 2015Pros: The lobby.
Cons: Prices.
The hotel has a stunning lobby. That's about it. It is really just a regular corporate hotel masquerading as something unique. That would be ok, except the prices on everything are ludicrous. And I mean ludicrous. Valet parking is $50 and there is no option to self-park. It's downtown so I thought that was maybe acceptable, until I got to breakfast. An omelette with a side of potatoes is $26. And it's just regular eggs and meat. Nothing fancy. Utterly ridiculous. One other thing, I forgot my toothbrush and had to get one sent up. They brought me an unbelievably cheap package with a poisonous tasting "toothpaste" straight from the factory floor in China. You'd think they could invest some of the ridiculous profits they are skimming off breakfast in some colgate or crest.
Comment from Hotel Management
Jan 21, 2015 by BrianL, Hotel Management
I apologize that we were unable to meet your expectations and appreciate the feedback. I apologize that we do not offer self-parking options but I can assure you that our pricing is comparable to downtown hotels in Boston. I am sorry that you did not agree with the breakfast pricing, which similar to parking, is competitive and similar to the local market. We continuously review our pricing to ensure we are competitive in the market; I also apologize that the toothpaste was not enjoyable. We hope to serve you better in the future!

Birthday Treat!
Posted Jan 17, 2015Pros: Everything
Cons: Lower rates at times so everyone can experience the hotel.
Location: Beacon hill, Td Garde, local pubs and walking along the Charles River! Hotel is right by the red line T stop so you can get anywhere in Boston easily.
From the moment I walked in, it was wonderful. Oscar at the registration desk is a hoot and so gracious! The hotel itself is a perfect blend of old and new; and is overflowing with character! Enjoyed the brunch food at CLINK , and having a nightcap on the CATWALK. The rooms are large and comfortable and I was thrilled to see a large soaking tub with separate shower! Enjoyed everything about this hotel and will be back!

We are back in Mexico after almost a month home in California.
Our older son, who is sophomore at Cal Maritime Academy, was with us for Christmas. We had a good Christmas having family and friends over. We had 13 guests on Christmas day. On New Year's Eve, we went to our Yacht Club. The theme was The 20's and the movie 'Midnight in Paris'. We had a great time.
We're planning on sailing South to Barra de Navidad, our favorite spot. Probably sometime next week.

We've been back in Paradise Village, Nuevo Vallarta since Nov 12th to check on our dear Calou. She's been taken care of by Alison from Anklar Marine over the summer. Calou was in good condition when we came back.
Time is flying by. We are going on our daily walk and have been playing tennis. Antoine is doing his school work. We decided this year to spend the Holidays back home in California with our older son François who is a sophomore at CMA. Only 2 weeks to go until we fly home. We fly back to PV early January. Not long after that, we'll probably sail down to Barra de Navidad.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

On April 26th, Bruce surprised me with a 9 day trip to Cancun for my Birthday. We rented a gorgeous condo at Mareazul in Playa Del Carmen 45 minutes South of Cancun Airport. The place is right on the beach with 300 foot long pool!
We've been enjoying the white sand beaches and turquoise water. We snorkeled in a "Cenote" river that is mostly underground. We did the part that is open to the sky. We also snorkeled with Sea Turltles at Akumal where they feed on sea grass. We went to visit Tulum Mayan Ruins right on the coast.
We'll be back in La Cruz on May 5th.
We'll go into Paradise Village not long after that to leave "Calou" for the summer and fly home at the end of June.

We are really enjoying the great little town of La Cruz. They just spent a whole week celebrating Easter, "Semana Santa", and then they continue on for a whole 'nother week of nonstop partying for the festival of the village's patron saint. I can tell you, these people are indefatigable. I'm typing right now at 1 a.m., and can hear the Oompah oompah of the tubas from the town square.

We have been in La Cruz for a week now. We are still waiting for our outboard to be fixed and a sun cover to be repaired for our jib.
While waiting, we are enjoying going on walks around La Cruz and surroundings.

Recipe by Chef John

This was my first year cooking a turkey from scratch. The recipe is flexible but the technique that he explains in the video made this year a complete 100% success! Thanks Chef John!
Made a delayed Thanksgiving Dinner today....Absolutely the best Turkey Ever!! So moist and flavorful. Try this recipe and drain the juices and add chicken stock to make the gravy at the end. You will not be sorry.
Excellent! My new stand by
Great video! For those of us that have been cruising by while Mom made the Turkey each year and all of a sudden it's our turn and we haven't got a clue.
I followed the video presentation of this recipe, it is slightly different to the written one. I am from Australia,and I am visiting family over here. I cooked the turkey yesterday for Thanksgiving. It was so amazing, it turned out beautifully, I have never tasted something so juicy and flavor some. Thank you Chef John for sharing this recipe. Wendy from Australia
Easy -- made my first turkey a success!

10/28/13 I've been adopted by my foster mom!
Hello. My name is Siren and as you can see I am a STUNNING redhead. I'm a gorgeous, spayed,purebred New Zealand Red (who really cares about pedigrees, though...)and I even have the breeder tatoo in my ear to prove it.
Even though I have a fancy tile, that's not what matters. What's important is my personality and my ability to connect with you. Good looks are superficial, while love and trust go much deeper.
I'm a bit shy and reserved at first, but would really welcome being adopted by a kind, gentle person who will shower me with love and patience. Speaking of patience...probably the only reason I haven't been adopted yet is that I am not the best at always using my litter box. Will you forgive me?
I hope you will come to see me soon!

The Transformation of European Politics, 1763-1848This is the only modern study of European international politics to cover the entire timespan from 1763 to 1848. Paul Schroeder's comprehensive and authoritative volume charts the course of international history over this turbulent period, in which the map of Europe was redrawn time and time again. He examines the wars, political crises, and diplomatic opportunities of the age, many of which - the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the Congress of Vienna and its aftermath - had far-reaching consequences for modern Europe. This book is a worthy complement to A. J. P. Taylor's classic The Struggle for Mastery in Europe 1848-1918 _ |

I went in this restaurant with my husband. The athmosphere is quiet and relaxing. They only serve fish (very fresh fish, I would say) stuffed in a very simple way. No fat, no extra flavour, only a good taste of fish (which from my point of view is excellent). Overall, all the courses were very good and light.

U.S. Edition
Jim Walton told the CNN organization today that he will step down as president of CNN Worldwide at the end of this year. He will continue in his current role until that time. Jim's decision has the support and respect of Turner Broadcasting CEO Phil Kent. Phil will lead the search for Jim's successor.
Employee note from Jim Walton is below as well as statements from Phil Kent and Jeff Bewkes.
Jim Walton note to staff:
After more than 30 years at this company and nearly 10 years as the leader of this great news organization, I have decided to leave my role at CNN on December 31, 2012.
For some time, I've been talking with Phil Kent about wanting to make a change, and he supports my decision. I've told Phil that I will cooperate with any transition timeline that he and Time Warner want to implement. Phil requested that I work out the year and be available after that if needed, which I've agreed to do.
I am proud of what we have accomplished together over these last 10 years – innovative programming, the development of great talent in front of and behind the cameras, expansion in digital and mobile, significant investment and expansion in international coverage, financial success and, most importantly, great and trusted journalism. Thank you for the role you have played in our successes.
CNN needs new thinking. That starts with a new leader who brings a different perspective, different experiences and a new plan, one who will build on our great foundation and will commit to seeing it through. And I'm ready for a change. I have interests to explore and I want to give myself time to do it.
The next few months will be filled with election news and other important events that will require all of our focus to report the news with the quality and expertise the world expects of CNN. I look forward to working alongside each of you, as I have over the past 30-plus years, to do just that.
Phil Kent quote:
Jim is the leader we all aspire to be: Smart and steady, tough and fair, business-savvy and respected by his team, and with a track record of great judgment when it matters most. His vision has modernized and globalized our legacy news brand, enhanced CNN's journalistic standing, positioned it at the forefront of multi-platform branded news content and challenged the organization to think bigger, reach further and do better. I am honored to work alongside him and proud to call him my friend.
Phil Kent
Chairman and CEO, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
Jeff Bewkes quote:
When Jim Walton assumed the presidency of CNN in 2003, it was underperforming and earnings were in serious decline. Since then, he and CNN have tripled earnings, doubled margin and delivered annual growth of 15 percent. In his nearly 31 years of uninterrupted and distinguished service to CNN, Jim has been instrumental in growing the business into the financial powerhouse it has become, while establishing the brand as the worldwide leader for television news. I respect him personally and professionally and support the decision he and Phil Kent have reached.
Jeff Bewkes
Chairman and CEO, Time Warner Inc.

APRIL FOOLS — Goodbye luxury. Hello, Andy Griffith.
Attempting to head off a developing image that Lakewood Ranch is becoming "too big," Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch has announced it will host the Mayberry Festival.
The event, to be held Fourth of July weekend at the Premier Sports Campus, is designed to present the community as a "simple small town."
The day's festivities will include a "best of Florida" orange sherbet competition and leisurely family activities, including corn hole, horseshoe, bocce ball, potato sack races, hayrides and a hot-dog eating contest.
"We always get great turnout at our events, and this one, with its nostalgia factor, should be an especially big hit," said Lisa Barnott, director of marketing and communication for SMR subsidiary LWR Communities, which will organize the festival. "Everyone seems to yearn for the easier, more simple days gone by."
To build upon the theme of Mayberry, the fictional small town in the popular "The Andy Griffith Show" that ran on CBS from 1960 to 1968 — there also will be Opie and Ernest T. look-alike contests.
An Aunt Bee look-alike bikini pageant will held, as well.
SMR President and CEO Rex Jensen chuckled about the "Opie" look-alike contest, saying the deck is stacked in favor of SMR executive Todd Pokrywa, who will be entered in the contest whether he likes it or not. Barnott said the Opie contest, in particular, will have age divisions so contenders have a remote chance of winning against Pokrywa.
The East County Observer is sponsoring the look-alike contests and is taking applications for all three categories, starting immediately. Up to 20 entrants will be selected for each category.
To promote the event and to capitalize on Lakewood Ranch's new small-town marketing concept, SMR has announced a "We're Not Just Whistlin' Dixie" contest. Residents can videotape themselves whistling a new theme song for Lakewood Ranch, similar to the opening credits of "The Andy Griffith Show." Videotapes should be no longer than three minutes and should be uploaded to YouTube. Please email the YouTube links to email@example.com. The contest grand prize will be announced April 1.
Jensen said the choice of "Mayberry" as a theme came partially through the process of elimination and partly because it perfectly conjured up the intimate small-town image.
"We looked at branding the event as the Stepford Festival, but, for some reason, that just didn't have the right ring to it," Jensen said. "On the other hand, the feelings and images evoked by the Mayberry connection just kept hitting us as the perfect complement to our campaign."
To apply to enter the look-alike contest, send your photo and which category you wish to enter to email@example.com. Please write "Mayberry Festival Contestant" in the subject line.

PoliticsIsrael's Kadima party quits government Party quits Binyamin Netanyahu's coalition in a dispute over drafting ultra-Orthodox Jews into the military. 18 Jul 2012 13:03 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Israel Israel's coalition government has plunged into a political crisis after the largest party Kadima pulled out, leaving Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, to work with hardliners who oppose peace moves with the Palestinians. The moderate party voted to quit the government on Tuesday over a disagreement on how the Tal Law, which exempts ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students from mandatory military service, should be handled. The High Court of Justice declared in February that the law was unconstitutional. "We made a real effort to push toward a new law that would change the balance of service," said Kadima's leader Shaul Mofaz. The former military chief of staff told a news conference he had tried to forge a "new social contract", but was presented with "red lines" that could not be crossed. "We are going back with our heads held high to lead the nation in the opposition," he declared. Kadima, which joined the coalition only two months ago, won one more seat than Netanyahu's Likud Party in the last election, making it the biggest party in the Knesset, or parliament. But it was left outside the government when Netanyahu set up his original hardline team three years ago. 'Coalition of convenience' James Zogby, president of the Arab-American Institute, told Al Jazeera that the alliance could not have lasted. "This was a coalition born of convenience. It was two political leaders - Mofaz and Netanyahu - who saw their polls slipping and they realised that by getting together they actually could salvage themselves and not have to go to a new election," he said. "It was never a marriage born of anything other than two weak leaders trying to save their positions - and now it fell apart for the very reason it came together." Kadima's move could set the stage for early elections, a scenario that would paralyse Middle East diplomacy for months, said analysts. Netanyahu will now have to work with a narrow parliamentary majority dominated by religious and nationalist hardliners who oppose concessions to the Palestinians. The development comes at a time when Israeli-Palestinian talks have been in limbo for years over Israel's refusal to halt settlement building in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. Mofaz brought the party into the coalition to work with Netanyahu on ending a contentious, decades-old system that has granted draft exemptions to tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jewish seminary students. But with a court-ordered August 1 deadline to revise the law, the sides were unable to forge a compromise. Widespread resentment The draft exemptions have caused widespread resentment among Israel's secular majority, who are required to perform two to three years of compulsory service. Ultra-Orthodox leaders have been equally adamant in their refusal to compromise, claiming their young men serve the nation through prayer and study. Netanyahu had sought a system that would gradually draft growing numbers of ultra-Orthodox over several years, and continue the exemptions for a smaller number of them. Mofaz wanted fewer exemptions and for the ultra-religious to be incorporated much faster. The talks were complicated by calls for Israel's Arab minority, who are exempt from the draft, to be forced into civilian national service. In a letter to Mofaz, Netanyahu expressed regret over Mofaz's decision. "I am sorry that you decided to give up the opportunity to bring about a historic change. After 64 years we were very close to a significant change in spreading the burden [of army service]," he said. "I will continue to work to bring a responsible solution that Israeli society expects." Most Israelis are required to serve in the military beginning when they are 18 years old. Males serve for three years while women serve for two years. In 1948, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion exempted 400 students at yeshivas – religious seminary schools – from military service in order to gain political support from ultra-Orthodox rabbis. Today, Israel has an estimated 60,000 yeshiva students, whose studies are subsidised by the government and who are not required to serve in the military. Israel's Arab minority – who comprise roughly 20 per cent of Israel's 7.8 million citizens – are also exempt from serving in the military. However, men belonging to Israel's Druze and Circassian communities are required to serve. Although not required to do so, some ultra-Orthodox and non-Druze Israeli Arabs, including Bedouins, do serve in the Israeli military. Source: AP, Reuters Source: Agencies

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
from William Shakespeare – Sonnet 130 on Genius
His lover isn't some ridiculous dream-creature; however, he loves her and sees her as beautiful nonetheless. He is swearing by heaven that his mistress is superior, in his eyes, to any woman whose beauty is falsely enhanced by the "cosmetics" of fawning poetry (or perhaps by literal cosmetics as well).
"She" here is synonymous with "woman": "As any woman belied by a false comparison."
Alternatively, the last line could be glossed as: the speaker's perhaps not perfectly beautiful love proves despite her imperfections that the speaker has been making inaccurate and false comparisons. The line could thus be read as a meta-textual statement, a statement that contradicts or cancels everything that has been said before.

Delay of Spanier's defamation suit lawsuit affirmed
By: WJAC Web Staff and The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- A judge has reaffirmed his decision to let former Penn State president Graham Spanier put off his defamation lawsuit against former FBI director Louis Freeh and his law firm.
The judge Tuesday denied Freeh's motion for reconsideration of the Feb. 25 order granting Spanier's request.
Spanier faces criminal charges in an alleged cover-up of complaints about retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who is now in prison on child sexual abuse convictions.
Without the delay, the judge said Spanier would face a decision about whether to testify in the civil case and potentially jeopardize his criminal defense.
Freeh produced a report on the Sandusky matter for Penn State in 2012 that was highly critical of Spanier, former head coach Joe Paterno, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice-president Gary Schultz.
Spainer, Curley and Schultz are awaiting trial in Dauphin County on the cover-up related charges.

The Vision Zero initiative remains somewhat vague despite it being announced some months ago.
The idea of eliminating pedestrian deaths in the city — as Vision Zero intends to do — is something almost everyone can get behind but the means of accomplishing that goal are still under debate.
The City Council hosted a Vision Zero town hall on April 24 at LaGuardia Community College so electeds, city agencies and the Police Department could listen to the ideas and concerns of the public and vice versa.
"My office has been working on this issue since day one," Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), whose district the meeting was held in, said. "We committed to Vision Zero long before it became as popular as it is today."
A bevy of Council members were in attendance and each Queens representatives made sure to lay out problem areas in their districts — from congestion on Northern Boulevard in the west and Main Street in the north to the lack of slow zones in the southeast. Each of them shared stories of tragedy that resulted in the deaths of young children, parents or teenagers.
"What do you say to the mother?" Councilman Donovan Richards (D-Laurelton) said. "What can you say to a mother whose child has blood running down his face because he got mowed down by a car? There's nothing you can really say but one thing we can do is make sure it never happens again."
Understandably many of the anecdotes used by the Council members led to a wave of sorrow hitting the audience all at once. No one wants a child to get run over on the way to school.
But while residents and city leaders can agree that a single pedestrian death is one too many, there seemed to be a clear disagreement on the best answer.
Many testimonies were directed specifically toward Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, who is new to the position.
Those testifying came from all walks of life: Taxi drivers, professors, parents and activists had stories to share.
One testimony was particularly relevant as it involved the street on which LaGuardia Community College sits, Thomson Avenue.
The school hired Philip Habib & Associates to conduct a comprehensive traffic study. It was released the same day as the meeting.
"We have more than 50,000 students and five high schools with more than 2,000 students who cross Thomson and Van Dam every day, making it a high traffic and pedestrian corridor," LGCC President Gail Mellow said. "LaGuardia urges the city to rapidly make the necessary improvements for both pedestrian and vehicular safety by making modifications on Thomson Avenue between Skillman Avenue and Van Dam Street."
Comments such as Mellow's were met with applause and words of praise while others, including one Astoria man's statement, were responded to with jeers and hisses.
"We need to also look at these people who are jaywalking and not looking up as they cross," he said. "They aren't paying attention.
"Even if the driver is doing the right thing, an accident can happen if a pedestrian comes out from between two parked cars and from what I'm hearing, for a lot of these accidents, the pedestrian was jaywalking."
People began shouting at the man, dismissing his statement, "The pedestrian has the right of way, always," someone yelled.
As more and more people stood up to share their grievances and beg the city to implement traffic-calming measures in their neighborhoods, more and more questions on enforcement bubbled to the surface.
"Why can't pedicabs be allowed to ride in the bike lane?"
"Why does the DOT refuse to recognize cabs that don't have a medallion?"
"When will we receive more bike lanes?"
There were also requests to improve snow cleanup near the college.
These were all questions that community members wanted answered because each is important to a specific neighborhood.
There were also requests to improve snow cleanup near the college.
Some of the requests addressed exactly what the city is looking for — busy corridors that are often the site of fatal car accidents — while others strayed from the point a bit.
At the conclusion of the meeting, little if anything had been resolved. The officials were invited to respond to the testimonies delivered, but most of the responses from city officials were promises that they would look into the various concerns.
Despite confusion, a wide spectrum of requests and warranted emotions — several speakers lost their family members to cars that were too fast or swerved onto the sidewalk — there was a single thought that almost every speaker began their testimony with.
"I am so happy with the city's Vision Zero plan."
Trottenberg and the co-sponsor of the Vision Zero legislation, Councilwoman Vanessa Gibbs (D-Bronx), suggested that for some residents, their prayers would be answered soon as the mayor was in the processes of arranging a press conference to make an announcement regarding the traffic program.
City officials hope once the plan finds its legs, 50 corridors around the city will be chosen for study and implementation of traffic-calming measures every year.

CombiChem and Sumitomo Establish Drug Discovery and Development Collaboration.
SAN DIEGO and OSAKA, Japan--(BW HealthWire)--Aug. 4, 1997-- CombiChem, Inc., and Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. today announced the signing of a drug discovery and development agreement focusing on a molecular target that plays a fundamental role in rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.Under the terms of the collaboration, CombiChem will receive an up-front payment, research support and milestone payments. Sumitomo has exclusive global rights to develop and market or sub-license products resulting from the collaboration. CombiChem will be entitled to royalties on sales of products. Anticipated cumulative payments to CombiChem from this collaboration, including fees and milestones, but excluding royalties, approximate $17 million.
CombiChem will utilize its Discovery Engine(TM) for Sumitomo's Lead Evolution requirements. Lead Evolution is the process of using existing information regarding a lead compound to identify different structural series which can provide other development options or an enhanced patent position. This Lead Evolution expertise is the key capability differentiating CombiChem from its competitors.
CombiChem's Discovery Engine(TM) is at the core of every Lead Optimization, Evolution and Generation partnership. The Discovery Engine(TM) uses an iterative approach in discovery projects, combining the Company's proprietary software for hypothesis generation, structurally novel computer-based Virtual Library and rapid syntheses capability.
"We are pleased to have this opportunity to establish a collaboration with Sumitomo to work on an exciting target utilizing our Lead Evolution capabilities," stated Vicente Anido, Jr., Ph.D., CombiChem's president and chief executive officer.
Masayasu Takeuchi, president of Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., stated, "We have selected CombiChem as our drug discovery partner following extensive due diligence based on CombiChem's latest technology both in the design of chemical libraries and in synthesis among combinatorial chemistry-related companies.
"Sumitomo expects that its exploratory research on anti-arthritis agents can be accelerated through this research collaboration. Sumitomo also expects that other exploratory research programs of Sumitomo can be effectively and rapidly achieved with this combinatorial chemistry technology from CombiChem, Inc."
CombiChem, Inc., a privately held company based in San Diego, accelerates lead discovery through the integration of proprietary molecular design and rapid synthesis with chemistry expertise. Customers benefit from the acceleration of compound time to market, amplification of current R&D resources, and enhancement of patent strength, while maximizing the probability of development success. In addition to this collaboration with Sumitomo, CombiChem has partnerships with Teijin, Limited of Japan and Roche Bioscience.
Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals, based in Osaka, was formed in 1984 through the merger of Sumitomo Chemicals' pharmaceutical divisions and Inabata & Co. The company has integrated functions in research development, manufacturing and sales and has occupied a firm position in the Japanese pharmaceuticals market.
As to foreign markets, though Sumitomo has licensed its technology thus far, it is gradually increasing its activities in overseas markets through starting clinical development of its original compound in Europe and expansion of export to Asian countries.

It feels like Serious Sam, but.. actually serious, as if I weren't just shooting zombies. There was a thrill to it. Never has a game with a minimal (read: barely existent) storyline been so interesting. I haven't even tried online, yet, but I definitely will soon. |

The co-op part is absolutely a blast. A few of us were playing it tonight.
There always seems to be moments that really stick out in your mind thanks to the somewhat random nature of the attacks. We were wrapping up the final Airport level and just about everyone was on the chopper when A THIRD Tank bounds into the scene and literally rips me right off of the chopper's ramp and proceeds to pound me into the pavement. By then a swarm of zombies had overtaken me and my safety was a lost cause. |

Versus is the most fun. I was in a PUG with 3 other guys, and 3 of us were on voice. We were going through the map all crouched down, each watching a side. Didn't work completely, but it was pretty cool
I love the full game. Those finales absolutely insane, I haven't finished any yet.

That one I'm trying to figure out. Since I switched my desktop soundcard over to an external recording box (EMU 0404), I'm not sure I'll be able to get a headset to actually WORK with it, since the inputs are XLR/Line Level. I mean, if I can get it to work with my nice vox mic on a mic stand, I guess I'll use that, but obviously, a headset would be a better choice (since the mic would block my view in quite an obnoxious manner :P)

Everywhere I go or see, all I get on this game is the sense that Valve is trying to cash in on the popularity of zombie mods for Garry's Mod.
In fact, it looks like a combination of Zombie Invasion and Zombie Survival, both for GMod..

Indeed. Although I've heard if you can get right by her before she gets startled with the autoshotty you can do it in one shot.

Brizz, that is true. I saw a guy do it a couple of times, he just told us to stand back and he would take care of it. We were all like "what the hell, you're gonna get killed!" but he just gave it one shot and there
22nd Nov 2008, 03:07 PM | #175 |
I'll have to keep that in mind about the witch.
I'm finding that I'm using dual pistols more and more. It has a bit of a slower reload, but it is super powerful and if you hit the trigger fast enough it has a faster firing rate than the m16. Also, when you're being swarmed I found if you hit reload, and then start melee'ing, you'll still be reloading and after a few melee hits you'll be good to start shooting again. Pistols are also accurate enough, when crouched, to get headshots at a distance. Using dual pistols I find I'm topping the most killed charts quite often. When a hoard is rushing you, just aim for head level, and spam that trigger. On smaller groups I'm able to wipe them out before they even get to us. Its crazy. If a few get through then beat them to the ground. The hunting rifle is good for clearing groups too. The rounds can pass through multiple targets in a line at once. So when when in a corridor and a hoard is rushing you they'll be so clumped up that you just have to put a few rounds into it and you'll probably kill most of them. There is no more satisfying feeling than when a hunter tries to pounce you, or anyone, but you react first and melee it then proceed to keep beating on him until it is dead without it ever having hit you once. Stupid hunter. I did the same to a smoker once. That was nice too.

Thus far I personally think the shotguns are THE weapons to use in this game.. Mostly because the SMGs/ARs just chew through ammo way too fast.
Tried to headshot a witch with the shotgun, didn't work. Man, she waylaid me, and it was hilarious. The atmosphere before was great, too.. I love tossing a pipebomb and watching the horde run after it. Definitely agree with the functionality of dual pistols. After I've depleted a fully loaded shotty, rather than reloading, I just switch to pistols when I'm still in a firefight. MUCH safer. Once I figure out a good way to get a mic working, I'll hop online. |
22nd Nov 2008, 05:07 PM | #177 |
The autoshotty is the best gun in the game, hands down. The fire rate and damage it does are just too high, and it's really the only worthwhile weapon against the tank. Get him on fire with four people autohotgun him and he goes down really quick.

I disagree. The asskicker rifle can save you so much trouble ahead of time (by cleaning heads off) and during a scrum (point crosshairs at heads, mow down horde).

Yeah, I often find myself having the most damage dealt to tank by a large margin when I'm using the hunting rifle.

M16 is the best in my opinion. Functions as a sniper rifle and ultimate spray machine in one fun package. And although you'll go through your clip fairly quickly if you're constantly shooting, the reload time is very fast.
I'm not a fan of the shotguns because once you get through your 'clip', it takes ages to reload the gun to full capacity again (and firing after loading a couple of shots is very inefficient because of the time it takes to prep the gun after loading). Autoshotty may be incredibly powerful shot-for-shot, but in the most hectic situations it also leaves you compromised for longest. Personally I stick to the M16 and hunting rifle. |

We've heard Robert Zemeckis, Paul Greengrass, and Brad Bird all mentioned as possible helmers for Here There Be Monsters — and, for whatever reason, we're now down to Jaume Collet-Serra. The Unknown helmer recently occupied his precious time with the Akira remake everyone wanted to just go away, but with the last update now being almost three months old — and with Collet-Serra having added something else to his plate — that's probably not going to happen, and he's probably got a little free time on his hands, too.
Written by Brian Helgeland, Monsters focuses on beloved Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones, who's been "wrongly stripped of his British naval commission and hired by a shipping magnate to investigate the disappearance of his merchant ships in the North Atlantic." There in the North Atlantic lie monsters.
Vulture's story also purports that Bradley Cooper is the Warners' favorite for Jones; The Hangover Part III needs to wrap — and Collet-Serra has to adjust the script to his own liking — before anything really happens. If that goes to plan, though, expect shooting to begin in early 2013.
Now, Cooper — while a wholly enjoyable screen presence — might a little too modern for a period piece, even one that's probably not too serious. (Though I have to buckle down and admit that, sure, I'd like to see him fight a giant squid.) And I haven't been too keen on Collet-Serra up to this point, either; maybe I don't want Here There Be Monsters to go forward, actually.
Is this the right pairing of director and star for Monsters?
