The Comic Opera Guild will present this enchanting musical comedy as its sixth consecutive production at Canton's The Village Theater, and the main show of its 39th season. Seventeen soloists will be accompanied by chorus and orchestra, staged by Thomas Petiet and conducted by Argentinian maestro, Mariano Riera.
The Comic Opera Guild, already known throughout the state for touring original English language productions of European operettas, has recently become the primary producer of Victor Herbert operettas in the world, with 30 titles to its credit. This production will be followed, in May, with the revival and recording of three more of this composer's shows.
Why Victor Herbert? In the early years of the American musical stage, productions tended to be rather unsophisticated revues or burlesques. The better shows were all imported from Europe. Herbert came to America from Ireland as a cellist and conductor, but soon tired of performing the works of other, less capable people. He began writing scores for the stage, and shortly became the most sought-after composer on Broadway. His meticulous and gorgeous scoring earned him the title "The Father of the American Musical."
Unfortunately, Herbert died before the recording industry could reproduce sound accurately, and so as the jazz age came into popularity, his works could not be enjoyed in their entirety. Many of his songs became standards, but the shows eventually disappeared from the stage.
Of all Herbert's shows, "The Red Mill," "Babes in Toyland" and "Naughty Marietta" are the easiest to revive, as they all show the composer at top of his game. The scores are full of fine melodies and rich ensemble writing. Although the original books don't work so well today, the Guild has provided new versions of each show, intended to make these shows hits again for new audiences.
The basic plot remains pretty much the same. In a village in Holland, two American vaudevillians, Con and Kid, who have been seeking their fortune in Europe, itch to get back to New York, but are stranded penniless in the little inn, "The Sign of the Red Mill". The owner of the inn, Burgomijster Van Borkum, seeks to marry his daughter, Gretje, to the Governor of Zeeland.
Gretje loves merchant marine Captain Dorus van Damm, however. The Americans, along with the Inn's maid Tina, agree to help Gretje and the Captain elope in return for passage to America. The Burgomijster, to prevent this, locks Gretje in the mill, where she pines away for the man she loves. Kid, Con and Tina try to help her escape, but the Burgomijster has made all arrangements for the marriage of his daughter to the governor, and makes sure the police will not let her leave town. The two Americans appear at the wedding festivities in disguise in a plot to subvert the wedding. When it is discovered that Captain Van Damm is heir to a large fortune, all resistance to him collapses. The lovers are united, and they, Tina and the Americans return home to old New York.
The show was written for the Vaudeville comedy team of Montgomery and Stone, and the Guild's team of Keith Austin Brown and Don Devine will fill their roles. The fiery Tina will be played by soprano Giles Simmer, the Burgomijster by Guild veteran Bob Douglas, and the young lovers will be Natalie Emptage and Gyorgy Barabas.

Both the El Paso Red Cross and Department of Transportation urged residents to prepare for a winter storm warning. You can see road conditions here: http://www.drivetexas.org/Full/ [1].
Extreme cold temperatures and snow were expected in the borderland Thursday night continuing into Friday morning. The Red Cross said preparing beforehand can make all the difference when faced with an extreme weather situation.
"There is usually an increase in home fires during cold spells like this because of the use of space heaters and alternative heating sources," said Mark Matthys, Executive Director of Red Cross El Paso.
Heat the home safely with these tips:
• All heaters need space! Keep things that can burn, such as paper, bedding or furniture, at least 3 feet away from heating equipment, fireplaces and stoves.
• Place portable space heaters on a hard, level, nonflammable surface. Do not put space heaters on rugs or carpets, near bedding or drapes, and keep children and pets away. Look for a model that shuts off automatically if the space heater tips over. Do not use heating equipment to dry wet clothing. Never use the stove or oven to heat your home.
• Never leave portable heaters, wood burning stoves or fireplaces unattended. Turn them off before leaving or going to bed.
• Keep the fire in the fireplace by using a glass or metal screen large enough to catch sparks and rolling logs.
• Carbon monoxide kills. Never use a generator, grill, camp stove or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning devices inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or any partially enclosed area. Locate unit away from doors, windows and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors. Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
Stock up on necessities, wear protective clothing:
• Ensure you have 3 days worth of food and water for every member of your family. The recommended minimum water supply is one gallon per day per person.
• Store non-perishable, easily prepared foods.
• Dress in several layers of lightweight clothing. Don't forget gloves or mittens, and a hat, preferably one that covers your ears.
• Wear waterproof, insulated boots to keep feet warm and dry and to maintain footing in ice and snow.
• Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or other local news channels for critical information from the National Weather Service (NWS).
Bring pets inside:
• Don't forget pets – bring them indoors. If that's not possible, provide adequate shelter to keep them warm and make sure they can get to unfrozen water.
• Check on people who require special assistance such as elderly people living alone, people with disabilities and children.
• Check to be sure automatic landscape irrigation systems are turned off so they don't spray water on roadways or sidewalks which may freeze and cause hazardous conditions
To keep the roadways safe for the traveling public, EPDoT said they were continuously monitoring weather reports by the National Weather Service and is prepared to carry out the De-Icing Plan for El Paso in coordination with emergency officials and the local office of the Texas Department of Transportation.
Sand and salt spreaders, as well as, snow plows were ready for deployment. If the plan is implemented, EPDoT crews will concentrate their efforts on main roadways, bridges and overpasses. Priority will be given to routes to hospitals, fire houses and police stations, as well, as assisting state transportation officials with clearing the highway system.
EPDoT recommends that drivers use extreme caution and maintain safe speeds and distances from other vehicles. The public is reminded that bridges and overpasses are typically the first to freeze. If conditions become icy, motorists are urged to stay off the roadways, if at all possible. Reduced traffic will allow emergency vehicles to move freely during the storm and help to ensure that roads are plowed and treated appropriately.

Posted By: Loni (0)Date: Sunday, 24 January 1999, at 9:59 a.m.
Hi Ya'll. Well I had a weird week. We ate out twice. The first we didn't do as well as we would have wanted. I felt like I needed to go on a retreat to get rid of the guilty feeling. I felt awful both mentally and physically. The second time was better. But this week I have felt so tired and "heavy". Not fat heavy but I don't know I can't really explain. Today I feel better. Only ate HB's yesterday and went out with my hubby to see Patch Adams. (two thumbs up) I also got a good start on my exercise, and considering my schedule this week, I'm amazed. Goin rollerskating this afternoon with the family so that will be good.. Sadly though I put on a few pounds, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!!!! Maybe too much rice, or as I told Beth earlier, maybe I'm sneaking wheat in my sleep.. I hope next week is a little better, With ya'll too. I love all of the support and "news". Loni

With Western dairy producers moving into a negative cash-flow situation, hay growers should expect a slight drop in hay prices.
More About:
Hay growers may have to soften their prices if they expect to hold onto Western dairy clients whose milk prices are dipping to $14/cwt over the next month. That's according to Seth Hoyt, a hay market analyst who spoke at last week's Forage Seminars hosted by Hay & Forage Grower and Mycogen Seeds.
He lowered his price predictions for premium-supreme, first-cutting hay by $10-20/ton from what he'd reported in December.
"Dairies are still the main driver of our alfalfa hay markets," he told the standing-room-only crowd at World Ag Expo, Tulare, CA. "Instead of paying $320-330 delivered to Tulare for top alfalfa hay, dairies want to be down around $290-300/ton."
He's already heard of contracts supporting those prices. In western Nevada, 4,500 tons of 55-TDN or 175-RFV and higher hay sold for a delivered price of $295/ton into Tulare. Another contract, in east-central California, included 7,000 tons of first- and second-cutting dairy-quality hay at $297/ton delivered to Tulare.
Hoyt's new predictions put Imperial Valley first-cut, supreme hay at $250-255/ton; central California at $260-270; Idaho, $210-220; Utah and Nevada, $220-230; and Washington, $240-250.
Milk prices in California in February are estimated to be around $14.75/cwt, compared to $16.75/cwt in February 2011 and $19.50 last summer. "If you look at March, the estimate is for $14.25 or lower, and last year it was $17.35. It comes at a bad time, because cost of production at the dairies is also up from last year."
It takes about $16/cwt to produce milk in California. Dairies that don't grow their own forage may be dealing with up to $17/cwt or higher in production costs.
"They're going into a negative cash-flow situation. So I can't see that the hay market is going to continue to be as strong when you have dairies … losing money."
Durum wheat in the Imperial Valley of California will displace alfalfa hay acres again this year, said Hoyt. He estimated a hay acreage increase of only 3-5% in California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona and unchanged to 3% higher in Washington. "Historically, if you had a market like we've had in 2011, you'd see a lot more than a 3-5% increase in acres. You'd see acres jump 15% or 20%."

The beauty of the Los Angeles Kings is that they bring together two opposing parts of the hockey world. These two factions have spent the better part of the past three years bantering back and forth, mostly via Twitter, about the merit and demerit of advanced statistics. Now they have a case study they can agree upon.
The dyed-in-the-wool geriatrics embrace the Kings for their throwback, defense-first, physical style of play backed by brilliant goaltending. They're big, mean, nasty, iron-willed and brass-cojoned, and the old guard loves them for it.
The four-eyed number-needling geeks adore them, too, and rightfully so. After all, the Kings are the poster boys for the advanced stats revolution, particularly Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams who, along with Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins, are the only players to be top 10 in Corsi close each of the past three seasons.
Count this corner among the pocket protector wearers (except cooler, of course), but fellow fancy stats freaks have to concede that the Kings belong to the traditionalists at least as much as they do to the futurists, because it's the intangibles that make this team so great. And they showed that Friday night, stomping the Anaheim Ducks 6-2 in Game 7. (Imagine, Anaheim was 4-0-1 against Los Angeles during the regular season.)
Mental toughness is immeasurable (at least for now, as the advanced stats brethren will surely try to find a way to calculate that as well), but it's clear the Kings are full to river flowing with it after winning six straight elimination games, four against the San Jose Sharks and two versus the Ducks.
So much is similar between the Kings club that won the Stanley Cup two years ago and this year's team. It's essentially the same roster, with 17 players held over from 2012. GM Dean Lombardi is still in charge, coach Darryl Sutter is still behind the bench, Dustin Brown is still the captain and Jonathan Quick is still in net. And the Kings' M.O. is the same dominant defense that brought them their first Cup in franchise history. Throw out those first two games against the San Jose Sharks, which is precisely what Quick and Co. did, and Los Angeles has allowed an average of 2.00 goals against per game.
Still, there is a little something in this year's Kings that they didn't have much of two years ago: scoring swagger. And that can be measured. Los Angeles has averaged the second-most goals in these playoffs with 3.21 per game behind only the Montreal Canadiens at 3.27.
They'll need to brandish this newfound scoring prowess of theirs against the high-flying Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference final if they hope to win this time around. But they'll also need the mental moxy they've perfected during these playoffs, too, because the Blackhawks are the one team in the West that can match them with it.
In the past three playoffs Chicago is the only team Los Angeles has lost to. The Kings have iced the San Jose Sharks (twice), St. Louis Blues (twice), and the Vancouver Canucks, Phoenix Coyotes, New Jersey Devils and now the Anaheim Ducks once each over three post-seasons. But the Blackhawks are different beast. They handled the mighty Kings with ease in last year's Western Conference final, beating them in five games.
Whether Los Angeles can come through this time around against Chicago remains to be seen. But two things are for sure about the Kings: the dinosaurs dig them and the geeks are all agog over them. And Los Angeles will have healthy portions each base cheering for them cheering them on in Round 3. Finally, a team that both sides of the hockey world can share together and yet still claim as their own.

Plus, Alex gets a shocking surprise!
The holiday break brought fresh drama to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. The Dec. 5 episode of Grey's Anatomy featured a surprising kiss, April's (Sarah Drew) hilarious bridal shower, and Bailey's (Chandra Wilson) continuing struggle to maintain control of her life.
Lights, Camera, Scalpel!
Cristina (Sandra Oh) was planning a surgery using a conduit from Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) printer. Apparently, this was a HUGE deal. Doctors everywhere wanted a chance to view this groundbreaking surgery. However, the parents of the patient didn't want cameras in the room. Funny thing is, Cristina didn't even know about it and wasn't happy about all the attention.
Owen (Kevin McKidd) convinced her to allow cameras inside the OR. So, Cristina's surgery got the royal treatment. When the patient started to crash, she asked the cameras to be turned off. In the morning, the patient still wasn't stable and the parents were getting anxious. Cristina began questioning herself and the conduit's success.
Over in another part of the hospital, Meredith was partaking in a groundbreaking surgery of her own. She was implanting a 3D portal vein from her printer into a sheep. Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton) was super excited and filmed the whole thing. At first, the surgery seemed to be a success, but sheep ended up dying. (Sigh)
"I'm A Swan."
April and Matthew's (Justin Bruening) wedding is approaching fast, so it's bridal shower time! April's sisters all flew in for the momentous event. And her sisters were a trip. Their commentary on Matthew and Jackson (Jesse Williams) was hilarious.
Matthew and Jackson spent some quality time together. They both put their "dreamboat" selves to use and saved a man who got dragged by a car. The two hotties came to a truce later in the episode. Jackson didn't think he was going to show up to April's wedding, but Matthew said it would mean a lot to April if he was. I have a feeling that Matthew is going to regret saying that.
Later, at the bridal shower, April's sisters continued berating about her awkward past. Finally, after many "Ducky" references, April broke. "I'm not your hopeless, ugly little sister anymore. I'm a swan," she said. And that, my friends, is why April is awesome. She then fired her sisters as bridesmaids and asked Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), Meredith and Cristina to take their place.
Dysfunction At Its Finest
Much to everyone's surprise, Alex's (Justin Chambers) dad showed up at the hospital and asked for Jo (Camilla Luddington). She thought he was just on a drug binge, but he collapsed and started seizing. He was having withdrawals from trying to get clean.
Jimmy (James Remar) wanted to get so clean that he refused the methadone prescribed to him. Jo wanted to have him sent to a rehab facility to keep him out of Alex's way, but Owen refused. Jo couldn't keep the secret for long and Alex wanted him kicked out immediately. He stomped into Jimmy's room and his dad recognized him! Wait, what? Jimmy said he knew since the bar and had been trying to get clean since.
Later, Jimmy's withdrawals got violent. He started hallucinating and slammed Jo against a wall. Luckily, Alex came to her rescue. I have a feeling that this Alex and Jimmy inevitable confrontation is going to be brutal. Not just for them, but for me.
You Win Some, You Lose Some
After initially believing that the conduit had failed, Shane (Gaius Charles) was particularly snappy with Meredith. Meredith went to tattle to Cristina and just made matters worse. She said that Shane had become aggressive and mean. "Do you think he's trying to be like you?" Meredith said. Oh boy, Meredith.
Cristina quickly retaliated in Shane's defense and said he was focused on being a doctor rather than a flight attendant. This Cristina/Meredith relationship descent is really getting to me. How low is Shonda going to take them?
Did I mention that Cristina and Shane did the deed? Yes, Shane scored Cristina. All across the world, Owen and Cristina fans are losing their minds.
At first, I felt weird about it, but when they did their victory foot shake after the conduit success, I was in. They are too cute. All romance aside, Shane and Cristina make great friends. She is a great mentor for him.
Richard. Is. Back.
Richard (James Pickens Jr.) finally left the hospital. Seriously, how long was he there? Years? Eons? As he was leaving, he thanked Bailey for getting him back to normal. Too bad Bailey was anything but normal.
Bailey had a doctor following her around. Bailey had to be cleared by this doctor before anymore surgeries. She was put to the test when the doctor told her to do five sutures without checking or rearranging anything.
All this pain and struggle could have been avoided if Bailey just took some meds. Bailey was adamantly against this until Richard came to her aid. Once again, being the voice of reason, he convinced her that medication was the right thing. Hopefully, the old Bailey returns.
Notes Worth Mentioning:
1. Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) were doing some test. I didn't really care about it. She was also complaining about all the fighting in her life, but all I heard was Callie being the common denominator in all the fighting.
2. After bickering all episode, Callie and Arizona come to terms with their relationship. They decide that talking is not the best policy and they kiss and make-up.
3. The tension between Jackson and April is crazy. Next week's wedding is sure to be wild. I can't wait.
So HollywoodLifers, what did you think of tonight's Grey's Anatomy?

Holy s*** !!! Cristina and Shane ???!!!!!!!!!! Dear Lord nooooo !!!!!! She has to end up with Owen or I am totally giving up on Grey's. I mean Slexie died, Calzona broke up and the only thing that is telling me not to give up on Grey's is that MerDer had their baby, I love Jolex and Japril finally happened and the hopes that Crowen would happen, but nooooo, Shonda just said oh who gives a damn and sent Cristina to Shane. Really Shonda ? I'm crying…..
Posted at 4:51 PM on December 8, 2013
Author of this article I have to say: pleae don't marginalize the scenes with Derek and his testing. They changed the opening sequece to lines of code to reflect that testing, so clearly it was important to the ovrall plot of the show. The story of the woman and her husband was touching AND they made a huge breakthough in the research on this episode!
And what do you mean Callie is the common denominator in the fighting? You got something to say? I am no fan of her character but during a recent 2.5 week binge watching Grey's from beggining to current, its clear that Callie is a victim of the love she feels for others and Arizona is a big, slutty biotch that Callie needs to get away from!
And Alex and his dad are clearly going to have a loving reunion, not a knock down drag out like you imagine.
April is NOT awesome. Never been awesome. The best thing she can do is marry the EMT and live happiley ever after-off the show- leaving Jackson to find someone who won't treat him like poo and freak out about every little thing, with her high squeaky voice! But I did like the "I'm a swan!" monolougue :)
Shane is obviously going through something, but lately his level of disrespect- especially, but not only where meredith is concerned- is unacceptable and in a real world environment would get him fired! Cristina/Shane is not "cute" it's disgusting and desperate on Cristinas part and no "foot shake"- by the way called the 'kid and play'- is going to make them acceptble to me.

Great review!
This episode was actually good. I liked to see Jackson outside the hospital and walking on the street for a change, and Cristina laughing at April's a-not-so-modest wedding gift was hilarious. Oh, and I felt tears at robot hand case- the actors who played the couple were amazing.
Wait, one more thing- Kepner named her pig after Jackson! LOL now how many girls would name their pig after a guy?

Are you heading for a crash?
Last night, after Matt + I tucked our children into bed, we opened our refrigerator to find a bottle of champagne that'd been chilling for so long we couldn't remember where we got it.
"Should we drink it?" Matt asked, giddy that he'd won his trial.
I paused. I could hear our boys padding around upstairs, and see dishes piled in the sink. But he was home and that for me was reason enough to celebrate.
And as he poured champagne into my glass, I realized we don't celebrate his successes enough. Or mine. Or ours. Because we're too busy celebrating our children.
And I wished I could parent like a man. Or my man, at least. By learning to let go.
Because when you take yourself too seriously as a parent, I think you do a disservice to your children. They all have faults. But I also think the gifts they do have will compensate for those they don't. Because Lord knows, we weren't perfect. And we made it.
I should wipe her face before I take pictures of her.
As Margaret K. Nelson writes in The Washington Post, when you hover, you miss the opportunity to connect elsewhere. With your spouse. With your friends.
Many of the helicopter mothers I've spoken to have told me, often with pride in their voices, that their daughters are their best friends. At first, I wondered why these women — some of them in their late 40s or 50s — wouldn't prefer to spend their free time with people their own age. But as I looked more closely at the way they are tackling parenthood, I understood: They have no free time.
I don't want to grow old with my children. I want to grow old with my spouse.

I totally agree with this post…I hovered for a long time…recently I started re~connecting with friends, which has helped my husband and I get even closer!! I have to admitte, that I do have times of guilt when I go out, but I come home and the kids and husband are fine…so it has gotten easier for me to hand over the controls to the husband one night a month!!
Oh this makes me want to cry (shoot, a lot of blogs are doing this and I swear I'm not PMSing or pregnant!). My husband and I need to appreciate each other more. We're always parenting and when it comes time to hang out we just want to sleep or zone out. We do need to celebrate each other and our successes. Great post!
Come join us for Makes It All Worth It Fridays Linkups! (http://mothershideaway.com/blog/2010/07/29/makes-it-all-worth-it-fridays/.html)
Totally agree, my kids will only be my babies for so long, my husband is forever.
BTW came via the Mommy Loop Follow Fridays -
Stopping by from Mom Loop. You're right that we don't take the time to celebrate ourselves nearly enough. But like everything, balance is the key. My hope for Georgia is that she keeps her independent spirit and that I'll keep mine. I'm your newest follower!
Stopping from Mom Loop! I totally agree too. It can be hard to achieve the balance, but it is worth it.
Sweet post; I completely agree!
I'm a new follower from Mom Loop. Have a great weekend!
Yes! Love this post!
Glad Matt's home. It is NOT easy being home alone, the one time my husband was away for 2 weeks, I almost went made. That's not to say all is hunky dory when he is here but it is nice to have the company…and crack open a bottle. Glad for you Jennifer. Reading your previous posts make me smile, think and agree – on how to parent, on who our best friends in the family should be – I don't want to 'hover' . Lots of ♥
I do the same thing…But tonight, by chance am going out to dinner with my husband and I will celebrate our "adult" time. Wahoooo! Let's hit the park!
Following from Mom Loop -
Hi. I'm following you back. Glad you could come visit my blog. It's funny to me that I never remember to wipe my kids face before photographing them either! It's so difficult being the puppet master to our own lives and to our family. I enjoyed your post! See you around.
Julie @ Bunches of Bargains -
Love your statement, "you don't want to grow old with your children, but with your spouse"! Beautiful!
From Mom Loop, Stopping by to say Hi!.
I'm your follower.
Thank you for share nice blog,I just got back from short trip to Ban Chiang Heritage you can read on my post.
my community is http://theblogfrog.com/1233755
Have a nice day.
once you have kids and all the other stuff around you to do, it's hard to find time just for you and the other half, but we should always try, as it's very important to have these moment together
I've seen your comment on the blogfrog about Friday follow, I know it's Sunday, but I just stopped to say Hi and I'm gonna follow and come back soon, have a nice day -
I think it's like most things in life. You have to find a balance. I would call my parents my best friends but that's not to say that they (and I) don't have friends of our own.
Hi, here from BF. What great insight. Its so easy to lose myself in parenting. Thank you for the reminder.
Lots of divorces happen when the kids grow up and away, due to empty nest syndrome. You are so right, "I don't want to grow old with my kids, I want to grow old with my spouse." Now that our kids are old enough my hubby and I take lots of time to do things together. I wish we had done more of it when they were smaller as well, but we had no family in the state we live in and good, reliable sitters are few and far between. Our kids see us enjoying each other, and what can give them a better sense of security than that? They often encourage us to go out and leave them at home…wonder what they're up to? But we do and we love each other's company as much as ever…after 25 years even!

Refueling Spillage Control for Small Off-Road Engines - June 12, 1998 Workshop
June 12, 1998 |
Dear Sir or Madam: | ||||||||||||
Workshop - Refueling Spillage Control for Small Off-Road Engines |
The California Air Resources Board staff will conduct a workshop August 6, 1998 to solicit public comments on a proposed control measure to reduce refueling spillage from small off-road engines. The proposed control measure would reduce hydrocarbon emissions from portable gasoline containers used for refueling small off-road engines through the use of a "spill-proof" container / nozzle system. This control measure is tentatively scheduled for consideration by the Air Resources Board at a public hearing in 1999. Notification of that public hearing will be sent separately 45 days prior to the hearing date. | ||||||||||||
The workshop is scheduled as follows: | ||||||||||||
A conservative statewide estimate of refueling container hydrocarbon emissions that can be controlled is approximately 15 tons per day. Portable fuel containers are used to refuel a broad range of off-road vehicles and equipment. These include equipment subject to the Air Resources Board's Tier 2 small off-road engine regulations as well as other vehicles exempt from those regulations, including but not limited to; off-road motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, pleasure watercraft, and pre-empted construction and farm equipment. Due to the broad range of categories and their subsequent engine configurations, staff believes that the potential role of spillage control is best addressed as a control measure directed towards a "spill-proof" container / nozzle system. This would encompass all categories without the need to standardize engine configurations or make substantial modifications to existing equipment. | ||||||||||||
Hydrocarbon emissions associated with the use of portable refueling containers are generally losses from both spillage and vapor displacement. Staff have tentatively identified the following refueling events as significant: | ||||||||||||
Based on these events, staff is tentatively proposing the following specifications for a "spill-proof" refueling system: | ||||||||||||
The staff requests comments as to whether the above list is sufficient, feasible, and pacticable to ensure meaningful spillage control. The staff encourages industry and other interested parties to contact staff with any comments or questions and to provide written comments. The staff requests that comments be submitted as soon as practicable. Comments will be most useful if they arrive prior to July 31, 1998. | ||||||||||||
This facility is accessible to persons with disabilities. If accommodation
is needed, please contact Elizabeth Mongar at (916) 263-1630 or TDD (916) 324-9531 or (800) 700-8326 for TDD calls outside the Sacramento area by July 31, 1998. |
Please call Elizabeth Mongar at (916) 263-1630 if you plan on attending so that we can assure adequate seating. If you have questions or need further information, please call Dean Bloudoff at (916) 263-2070 or Cindy Castronovo at (916) 263-1628. | ||||||||||||

The New Statesman is a British political and cultural magazine published weekly in London. Founded as a weekly review of politics and literature on 12 April 1913, connected with Sidney and Beatrice Webb, and other leading members of the socialist Fabian Society. The magazine has, according to its present self-description, a left-of-centre political position.[2]
The longest serving editor was Kingsley Martin (1930–60). The current editor is Jason Cowley, who assumed the post at the end of September 2008. In 29 May 2006 issue, then-editor John Kampfner stated that the New Statesman remained "true to its heritage of radical politics".
Historically, the magazine was sometimes affectionately referred to as "The Staggers" because of crises in funding, ownership and circulation. The nickname is now used as the title of its politics blog.[3] Its current regular writers, critics and columnists include Mehdi Hasan, Will Self, John Gray, Laurie Penny, Ed Smith and Helen Lewis. Circulation peaked in the mid 1960s.[4] and the magazine had a certified average circulation of 28,936 in 2013, of which 20,862 were paid copies.[5] Traffic to the magazine's website reached a record high in October 2013, with 2.68 million unique visitors.[6]
Early years[edit]
The New Statesman was founded in 1913 by Sidney and Beatrice Webb with the support of George Bernard Shaw and other prominent members of the Fabian Society.[7] Its first editor was Clifford Sharp, who remained editor until 1928. Desmond MacCarthy joined the paper in 1913 and became literary editor, recruiting Cyril Connolly to the staff in 1928.
During Sharp's last two years in the post he was debilitated by chronic alcoholism and the paper was actually edited by his deputy Charles Mostyn Lloyd. Lloyd stood in after Sharp's departure until the appointment of Kingsley Martin as editor in 1930 – a position Martin was to hold for 30 years. Although the Webbs and most Fabians were closely associated with the Labour Party, Sharp was drawn increasingly to the Asquith Liberals.
1931–1960: Kingsley Martin[edit]
In 1931 the Statesman merged with the Liberal weekly The Nation and Athenaeum and changed its name to the New Statesman and Nation, under which title it remained until 1964. The chairman of Nation 's board was the economist John Maynard Keynes, who came to be an important influence on the newly merged paper, which started with a circulation of just under 13,000. It also absorbed The Week-end Review in 1934 (one element of which survives in the shape of the New Statesman 's Weekly Competition, and the other the 'This England' feature).
During the 1930s, Martin's Statesman moved markedly to the left politically. It became strongly anti-fascist and pacifist, opposing British rearmament.[8] The editor, Kingsley Martin, wrote after the 1938 Anschluss: "Today if Mr. Chamberlain would come forward and tell us that his policy was really one not only of isolation but also of Little Englandism in which the Empire was to be given up because it could not be defended and in which military defence was to be abandoned because war would totally end civilization, we for our part would wholeheartedly support him".[9]
It was also, notoriously, an apologist for Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union. In 1934 it ran a famously deferential interview with Stalin by H. G. Wells.
In 1938 came Martin's refusal to publish George Orwell's celebrated despatches from Barcelona during the Spanish civil war because they criticised the communists for suppressing the anarchists and the left-wing Workers' Party of Marxist Unification (POUM). "It is an unfortunate fact," Martin wrote to Orwell, "that any hostile criticism of the present Russian regime is liable to be taken as propaganda against socialism."[10] Martin also refused to allow the Statesman to review Leon Trotsky's anti-Stalinist book, The Revolution Betrayed.[11] However, Martin became more critical of Stalin after the Soviet Invasion of Finland.[12]
The Statesman 's circulation grew enormously under Martin's editorship, reaching 70,000 by the end of the Second World War, and became a key player in Labour politics. The paper welcomed Labour's 1945 general election victory but took a critical line on the new government's foreign policy. The young Labour MP Richard Crossman, who had been an assistant editor before the war, was Martin's chief lieutenant in this period, and the Statesman published Keep Left, the pamphlet written by Crossman, Michael Foot and Ian Mikardo, that most succinctly laid out the Labour left's proposals for a "third force" foreign policy rather than alliance with the United States.
During the 1950s, the Statesman remained a left critic of British foreign and defence policy and of the Labour leadership of Hugh Gaitskell (though Martin never got on personally with Aneurin Bevan, the leader of the anti-Gaitskellite Labour left). It opposed the Korean War, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament grew directly out of an article in the Statesman by J. B. Priestley.
There was much less focus on a single political line in the back part of the paper, devoted to book reviews and articles on cultural topics. Indeed, with these pages managed by Janet Adam Smith, who was Literary Editor from 1952 to 1960, the paper was sometimes described as a pantomime horse: its back half was required reading even for many who disagreed with the paper's politics. This tradition would continue into the 1960s with Karl Miller as Literary Editor.
After Kingsley Martin[edit]
Martin retired in 1960 and was replaced as editor by John Freeman, a politician-journalist who had resigned from the Labour government in 1951 with Bevan and Harold Wilson. Freeman left in 1965 and was followed in the chair by Paul Johnson, then on the left, under whose editorship the Statesman reached its highest ever circulation. For some, even enemies of Johnson such as Richard Ingrams, this was a strong period for the magazine editorially.
After Johnson's departure in 1970, the Statesman went into a long period of declining circulation under successive editors: Richard Crossman (1970–72), who tried to edit it at the same time as playing a major role in Labour politics; Anthony Howard (1972–78), whose recruits to the paper included Christopher Hitchens, Martin Amis and James Fenton (surprisingly, the arch anti-Socialist Auberon Waugh was writing for the Statesman at this time before returning to his more natural home of The Spectator).
Bruce Page (1978–82) moved the paper towards specialising in investigative journalism, sacking Arthur Marshall, who had been writing for the Statesman on and off since 1935, as a columnist, allegedly because of the latter's support for Margaret Thatcher. Hugh Stephenson (1982–86), under whom it took a strong position again for unilateral nuclear disarmament. John Lloyd (1986–87) swung the paper's politics back to the centre. Stuart Weir (1987–90), under whose editorship the Statesman founded the Charter 88 constitutional reform pressure group; and Steve Platt (1990–96).
The Statesman acquired the weekly New Society in 1988 and merged with it, becoming New Statesman and Society for the next eight years, then reverting to the old title, having meanwhile absorbed Marxism Today in 1991. In 1993, the Statesman was sued by Prime Minister John Major after it published an article that discussed rumours that Major was having an extramarital affair with a Downing Street caterer.[13] Although the action was settled out of court for a minimal sum,[14] the magazine's legal costs almost led to its closure.[15]
In 1994, KGB defector Yuri Shvets said that the KGB utilised the New Statesman to spread disinformation. Shvets said that the KGB had provided disinformation, including forged documents, to the New Statesman journalist Claudia Wright which she used for anti-American and anti-Israel stories in line with the KGB's campaigns.[16][17] By 1996 the magazine was selling 23,000 copies a week. New Statesman was the first periodical to go online, hosted by the www.cleanroom.co.uk, in 1995.
Since 1996[edit]
New Statesman was rescued from this near-bankruptcy by a takeover by businessman Philip Jeffrey but in 1996, after prolonged boardroom wrangling[citation needed] over Jeffrey's plans, it was sold to Geoffrey Robinson, the Labour MP and businessman.
Following Steve Platt's resignation, Robinson appointed as editor Ian Hargreaves, formerly editor of The Independent newspaper, on what was at the time an unprecedentedly high salary. Hargreaves in turn fired most of the left-wingers on the staff and turned the Statesman into a strong supporter of Tony Blair as Labour leader.
Hargreaves was succeeded by Peter Wilby, also from the Independent stable, who had previously been the Statesman's books editor, in 1998. Wilby attempted to reposition the paper back 'on the left'. His stewardship was not without controversy. In 2002, for example, the periodical was accused of antisemitism when it published an investigative cover story on the power of the "Zionist lobby" in Britain, under the title "A Kosher Conspiracy?".[18] The cover was illustrated with a gold Star of David towering over a Union Jack.[19] Wilby responded to the criticisms in a subsequent issue.[20] A year earlier Wilby was accused of being anti-American because of his reporting of 11 September attacks on New York and Washington.[clarification needed][citation needed]
John Kampfner, Wilby's political editor, succeeded him as editor in May 2005 following considerable internal lobbying[citation needed]. Under Kampfner's editorship, a relaunch in 2006 initially saw headline circulation climb to over 30,000. However, over 5,000 of these were apparently monitored free copies,[21] and Kampfner failed to maintain the 30,000 circulation he had pledged. In February 2008, Audit Bureau Circulation figures showed that circulation had plunged nearly 13% in 2007.[22] Kampfner resigned on 13 February 2008, the day before the ABC figures were made public, reportedly due to conflicts with Robinson over the magazine's marketing budget (which Robinson had apparently slashed in reaction to the fall in circulation).
In April 2008 Geoffrey Robinson sold a 50% interest in the magazine to businessman Mike Danson, and the remainder a year later.[23] The appointment of the new editor Jason Cowley was announced on 16 May 2008 but he did not take up the job until the end of September 2008.[24]
In January 2009, the magazine refused to recognise the National Union of Journalists, the trade union to which almost of all its journalists belonged, though further discussions were promised but never materialised.[25]
In 2009, Cowley was named current affairs editor of the year at the British Society of Magazine Editors awards.[26] and in 2011, he was named editor of the year in the Newspaper & Current Affairs Magazine Category at the British Society of Magazine Editors awards, while Jon Bernstein, the deputy editor, gained the award for Consumer Website Editor of the Year.[27] Cowley has been shortlisted as Editor of the Year (consumer magazines) in the 2012 PPA (Professional Publishers Association) Awards.[28] In January 2013, Cowley was shortlisted for the European Press Prize editing award.[29] The awards committee said: "Cowley has succeeded in revitalising the New Statesman and re-establishing its position as an influential political and cultural weekly. He has given the New Statesman an edge and a relevance to current affairs it hasn't had for years."
In 2010 sales of the magazine decline further but in 2011 paid circulation rose by 824 copies, the first rise for many years.[30] In 2012, circulation rose again, by more than 1,000 copies, to 24,910.[31] The figures do not include the Kindle or digital editions, which have an additional 2,000 subscribers.
In April 2013 the magazine published a 186-page centenary special, the largest single issue in its history.
Guest editors[edit]
In March 2009 the magazine had its first guest editor, Alastair Campbell, the former head of communications for Tony Blair. Campbell chose to feature his partner Fiona Millar, Tony Blair (in an article "Why we must all do God"), football manager Alex Ferguson, and Sarah Brown, the wife of Prime Minister Gordon Brown. This editorship was condemned by Suzanne Moore, a contributor to the magazine for twenty years. She wrote in a Mail on Sunday article: "New Statesman fiercely opposed the Iraq war and yet now hands over the reins to someone key in orchestrating that conflict".[32] Campbell responded: "I had no idea she worked for the New Statesman. I don't read the Mail on Sunday. But professing commitment to leftwing values in that rightwing rag lends a somewhat weakened credibility to anything she says."[33]
In September 2009 the magazine was guest-edited by Labour politician Ken Livingstone, the former mayor of London.[34]
In October 2010 the magazine was guest-edited by the British author and broadcaster Melvyn Bragg. The issue included a previously unpublished poem[35] by Ted Hughes, "Last letter", describing what happened during the three days leading up to the suicide of his first wife, the poet Sylvia Plath. Its first line is: "What happened that night? Your final night."—and the poem ends with the moment Hughes is informed of his wife's death.
In April 2011 the magazine was guest-edited by the human rights activist Jemima Khan. The issue featured a series of exclusives including the actor Hugh Grant's secret recording[36] of former News of the World journalist Paul McMullan, and a much-commented-on[37] interview[38] with Liberal Democrat leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, in which Clegg admitted that he "cries regularly to music" and that his nine-year-old son asked him, "'Why are the students angry with you, Papa?'"
In June 2011 Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury created a furore as guest editor by claiming that the Coalition government had introduced "radical, long term policies for which no one had voted" and in doing so had created "anxiety and anger" among many in the country. He was accused of being highly partisan, notwithstanding his having invited Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary to write an article and having interviewed the Foreign Secretary William Hague in the same edition. He also noted that the Labour Party had failed to offer an alternative to what he called "associational socialism". The Statesman promoted the edition on the basis of Williams' alleged attack on the government, whereas Williams himself had ended his article by asking for "a democracy capable of real argument about shared needs and hopes and real generosity".
In December 2011 the magazine was guest-edited by Richard Dawkins. The issue included the writer Christopher Hitchens's final interview,[39] conducted by Dawkins in Texas, and pieces by Bill Gates, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett and Philip Pullman.
In October 2012 the magazine was guest-edited by Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei[40] and, for the first time, published simultaneously in Mandarin (in digital form) and English. To evade China's internet censors, the New Statesman uploaded the issue to file-sharing sites such as BitTorrent. As well as writing that week's editorial,[41] Ai Weiwei interviewed the Chinese civil rights activist Chen Guangcheng,[42] who fled to the United States after exposing the use of compulsory abortions and sterilisations. The issue was launched on 19 October 2012 at The Lisson Gallery in London,[43] where speakers including artist Anish Kapoor and lawyer Mark Stephens paid tribute to Ai Weiwei.
In October 2013 the magazine was guest-edited by Russell Brand, with contributions from David Lynch, Noel Gallagher, Naomi Klein, Rupert Everett, Amanda Palmer and Alec Baldwin,[44] as well as an essay by Brand.[45]
In October 2014, the magazine was guest-edited by the artist Grayson Perry, whose essay titled "Default Man" was widely discussed.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Andy Pettitte pitched six solid innings and New York used the longball to defeat the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-3, in the rubber match of a rain-shortened three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
Pettitte (6-2) allowed three runs -- two earned -- on five hits with three walks and a season-best seven strikeouts. Phil Hughes and Phil Coke both worked a scoreless inning before Mariano Rivera closed the door in the ninth for his 14th save.
"It was a good win for us," Pettitte said. "The bullpen was great. The team is winning and we're feeling good about ourselves."
Johnny Damon, Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter each hit a solo home run, while Nick Swisher added a two-run homer for the Yankees, who have won eight of their last 11 games.
Gabe Kapler clubbed a two-run homer and Michel Hernandez added an RBI single for the Rays, who have lost two straight on the heels of a four-game winning streak.
Andy Sonnanstine (4-6) gave up five runs on six hits -- including four homers -- in seven-plus innings to take the loss.
"I thought (Sonnanstine) threw really well," said Rays manager Joe Maddon. "I was very pleased with him tonight. I thought he pitched with aggressiveness."
The Yankees jumped out to an early lead with two outs in the first on Teixeira's 18th home run of the season -- a towering drive down the right- field line.
Robinson Cano singled to begin the bottom of the second for New York, and Swisher later deposited a pitch in the right-field seats for a 3-0 lead.
Tampa Bay responded with a three-spot in the fourth. Ben Zobrist led off the inning by reaching on Alex Rodriguez's fielding error and took second on a wild pitch. A fly out by Joe Dillon moved the runner to third and Hernandez put the Rays on the board with a base hit up the middle. Kapler then followed with a shot over the left-field wall.
Damon's one-out blast to right restored the lead for New York in the sixth, and Jeter provided insurance by going deep in the eighth.

He is charged with unlawful delivery and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

Political science professors Sonia Cardenas and Andrew Flibbert survey the bloodthirsty media reaction to African pirates for CounterPunch (5/22/09):
Across countless blogs and media outlets, here and abroad, thousands of people have called unequivocally–often in blunt, colorful language–for killing Somali pirates. "Kill the Pirates" was the headline of a Washington Post op-ed on April 13 by Fred Iklé, a defense expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. As Jonah Goldberg wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "Shoot the pirates, problem solved." The mainstream media has described today's pirates as savage enemies of humankind, with pundits even saying that if it were not for political correctness, international law and human rights, we could eliminate this scourge. In his blog, Amitai Etzioni of George Washington University blames piracy itself on "a radical interpretation of human rights," which discourages capturing and trying pirates for fear of violating their rights. He proposes instead a "007 license" with shoot-to-kill permission for commercial ships. Even before the latest incident, Robert Farley and Yoav Gortzak wrote in the December 2008 issue of Foreign Policy, "nobody likes pirates, and nobody–legal niceties aside–really minds too much if you shoot them."
Considering that "the hatred is obvious," Cardenas and Andrew Flibbert think the more important "question is why": "Why the willingness to bypass legal procedures normally extended" to even those committing "other transnational crimes that are arguably more disturbing and reprehensible, such as the trafficking of children for sexual exploitation, or drug cartels" or even "private mercenaries that fuel armed conflict and take thousands of lives?" One facet of their answer is dubbed the "Disney Effect": being that "military action is indeed a quick, dramatic and satisfying morale-booster" that "makes for good soundbites and masquerades easily as derring-do, the stuff of Hollywood"–all of which is far too subtle analysis for a U.S. press intent on forcing all African conflict into a "tribal" framework.

Hey guys, do you think the guitar case had one of the guitars that Kristen bought Rob for Chistmas 2011. I have to agree with a few comments on here. Yes it has been 6 weeks this week for this going story. It is about time to let it go now. I have also been saying that it doesn't matter what people say as it really wouldn't matter to either of them. Also I have been saying that people shouldn't believe what this site prints and only believe what true sites have proof of the stories.
Most actors/actress go naked movies to become popular but this Kstew Vampire who is already popular wanted to do nude scenes so she's clearly revealing her real personality… she'd better do porn movies… she wanted to do it that's why cannot resist the hands of rupert in her minicooper…. so obvious from the July 17 pics… that's really good for her image now… from Vampire to a Trampire
Posted at 1:09 AM on September 4, 2012
Is just weird theres a rumor that they said he sold his house or hes moving to london and if you see the pic he has his guitar suitcase and i read some tweets the ppl who saw him they said that he was standing in line i think is the line that you put your luggage so they can put them on the airplane and some said he was going to a connection line or something and he said when he was having the interview with josh onmtv that he wish that he was filming the rover this fall but they moved it to next year because he said it needed it alot of work and then he said if theres any projects available let me know so that means hes free right not hes just waiting to promote bd2 in november.

Words matter and so do photographs! (A photo is proof perfect, they say) I am reading some of the post about the photo of Rob (allegelly) at LAX. I found it interesting because there are many interpretations of what is really going on in the photo. Not just on this site, but many others. My point has been for weeks now, ( Photos can be deceiving). Looking at Rob standing in a line at LAX, is he going or coming? There are boxes near him, are they his, or do they belong to the person behind him? What is his connection to the man standing beside him? Is he alone? Of course merely looking at the photo, the only thing we know is that he may have been at LAX at some point. Was he there today? My point, for those of you who look at photos (US Weekly) and think you know everything, to quote the great DC ("you think you know, but you don't know anything"). Hello! For those of you frustrated with the daily dicourse on these sites. Well, it's like this, the tabloids set them up to gather ideas and gossip for their mags., but what they meant for bad is good. Because it has given people a commuinity to let their views be known. It's no longer one sided.

and im gonna go ahead and break my own rule here cuase i dont think im done
this site is another reason why all celebrities are rude becuse we cannot trust one F-ing person outside of our groups and sometimes you cant even trust the same people that are in your group cuase im sure we all have one person spilling our goods so live learn and enjoy the information that has just been given bunch of morons
Posted at 11:03 PM on September 3, 2012
ok this is just gross do you all realize that what you have to say doesnt affect them in very least yes yes im lowering my standards to talk about how foul this is i really wish you people would pay attention to your goverment rather than letting them fool you into this celebrity worship wake up DAMN IT !!! the fact that you are sill blindsided by this a month later is beyond me move on
all i see here is monkey see monkey do the fact that you let these tabloids control you like this sickens even me and im sick of being sick open your eyes enough said everyone that post after this has lost my and alot of other peoples RESPECT thank you very much
just remember monkeys Hollywood life is so fake you cant just go on what these people say they are just trying to get more hits on their webiste so they can make the big bucks
or am i the only one on here with a bussiness type of view on the f_ing world

He was coming from London he was is not going to London. What ever he had with him he was bringing back from London. LA is his home with or without Kristen. He has meetings and business in LA just because he is not filming does not mean actors are not busy. And if he were moving back to London I am sure he would have had family or friends helping.

Wow ! You figured this all out all by yourself looking at one photo ?? Amazing ! Whether he is coming or going is still irrelevant , and if you had your stuff would you put them behind you , I don't it could belong the person waiting behind them , who knows , who cares really . People are really loosing it when it come to Pattinson/ Stewart . Right now I bet it's killing a whole lot of you not knowing …LOL . so now everyone is analyzing every freaking photo .. Boy , you guys have a lot of time in your hands , and I'm sure the guy next to him is probably an airport employee … may I make a suggestion people need to stop investing so much into this really ! As a fan of both it doesn't matter to me what they do in their future as long as they keep making movies , I will continue to support them , but I'm not gonna loose my sanity over their personal affairs …. ONCE AGAIN … EVERYONE THINK THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING BUT THEY REALLY HAVE NO CLUE …… AND THAT MY FRIEND IS HILARIOUS !!!!!

Kristen wanted to be in On the Road movie for a long time.
Posted at 10:17 AM on September 4, 2012
Yes, Kristen was tied to the "On the Road" project for a long time. It was almost put on hold again,
so Kristen Stewart gave up her salary to get the picture finished. (from millions to a small amt. $250,000) Playing the part of Mary Lou has nothing to do with her real life, except that she is a thrill seeker, and a risk taker. I do not think most of the public will like this movie, it is based on a book and was very difficult to bring to the screen. It is about two men who travel in a car, (boring to some) and Kristen has a small part. The men are rejecting beliefs and constraints about the 1950's……..

I read an article over at filmschoolrejects.com all of you that post here should read it because it makes a lot of sense .

Why do you guys keep saying you hope she stops "hating herself" who says she hates herself HL and tabloids ? I can not believe you guys believe everything you read. I am sure she was not happy and upset but I doubt she hates herself she made a bad judgement call and has leaned from it. This story is over a month old soon to be two months old It looks to me that people need to move on Kristen and Rob have. And PLEASE stop believing everything you read Rob called you dumb for believing everything.

to Aquarius: you're right. the same shot of Kristen between the two guys is the most popular graphic. She looks most mischiavous while glancing over her shoulder to see if anybody is watching. She's about to do some "bad" and is reveling in the moment. That's her allure…that's her magnetism.
She'll be okay. I hope she stops hating herself for her transgressions…and becomes one of the more interesting and captivating women of our generation. A new Liz Taylor, if you will.

@anon – I disagree. If she's trying to break from Twilight and sell as a solid actress, this is not good. The shot sends the message this all she does in the film – get her freak on with two guys on film. If there are other layers to her character the casual observer wouldn't know with the pictures they're showing – swapping spit the two guys, and her spreaded legs hanging out of the driver's side of the car is real winner. It's like the studio is trying to parlay the scandal into a marketing tool for the movie: watch Stewart do the same moves she did with Rupert.

Your tutor will evaluate your current abilities, with an eye toward places where you can improve in Mandarin Chinese.
We will create a unique curriculum that will help you master your objectives.
How can a Varsity Tutors instructor help you make sense of Mandarin Chinese through tutoring?
As a spoken language that requires precise understanding of tonality, and as a difficult written language that requires patience and discipline for rote memorization, Mandarin Chinese can be one of the most difficult modern languages to learn. Unlike Romance languages, in which English speakers already have a foundation, Mandarin Chinese can, at times, appear so foreign that fluency seems all but unattainable. When the difference between "mother" and "horse" is but one easily confused tone, there isn't much room for error! Mandarin Chinese tutoring can help.
Fortunately, Varsity Tutors has experienced tutors across the Washington DC metro area, inside and outside the beltway, who can help you succeed on your journey in learning this most foreign of foreign languages. Many of our Mandarin tutors are native speakers who can clearly explain the subtleties of tonality and pronunciation. Others are former Mandarin learners who have mastered the language and have a clear understanding of exactly what it takes for an English speaker to overcome his or her sticking points. Whatever level of Mandarin Chinese tutoring you're looking for, Varsity Tutors can pair you with a skilled tutor who will tailor a lesson plan that works for you, the individual. Call us today and let Varsity Tutors help you on your way to Mandarin fluency with some individualized Mandarin Chinese tutoring in Washington DC!
We'll help you learn Mandarin Chinese through one-on-one tutoring in the comfort of your own home or another location of your choice. Trying to learn to speak, read, or write Mandarin Chinese without the benefit of a tutor can be a frustrating experience. For example, Mandarin Chinese is a language which depends heavily on subtleties of pronunciation and meaning. Without the benefit of feedback from someone already fluent in the language, it's difficult to assess whether your language skills are actually progressing.
Whether you're a current language student seeking to improve your skills or someone who's new to the language entirely, an experienced Varsity Tutors Mandarin Chinese tutor is here to make your language-learning efforts as productive and enjoyable as possible. Your friendly Mandarin Chinese tutor will talk to you about your concerns and learning goals, assess your proficiency with the language, and quickly develop a customized study program that meets your individual needs. Most importantly, your tutor will give you the encouragement and immediate feedback you need to remain excited about your goals. Along the way, your tutor will answer questions, identify trouble areas, and serve as a partner in conversations. As you gradually begin to refine your pronunciation, enlarge your vocabulary, and polish your conversational skills, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for Mandarin Chinese, as well as the confidence you need to take your Mandarin Chinese language skills to the next level of sophistication.

WILMINGTON -- Temperatures were in the 90s again Friday and for some people, that's dangerously high.
This week New Hanover County Regional Medical Center has seen an increase in people with heat-related illnesses.
ER Dr. Ken Garm says each summer it's just a matter of time before over-heated people become patients at the hospital.
While the elderly is a group often affected by the heat, Dr. Garm says he's seen a lot young people recently. They're the ones who are outside, being active and often over-doing it.
Friday's temps still didn't stop people from being outside. Everyone had a his or her own way to stay cool.
Cyclist Jeff Mulligan was training for a triathlon. He said, "Hydrate before, stretch before, stretch afterwards, hydrate a lot afterwards, a lot of water, a lot of Gatorade, other products like that. And then just rest in the off hours and don't do anything silly."
Mulligan biked ten miles in the middle of the day while the sun was at its highest.
The breeze at the beach was one thing bringing many people relief Friday.
