Third graders have an improved sense of reality. Many of their old fears have passed, but this also means their new fears are more reality-based. A child this age may be afraid of failing in school or being judged by his peers.
What you should do: Don't tease your child about past fears. Focus on helping him through his more mature, more realistic fears.

Shipping Pallet Emergency Shelter
New York firm I-Beam Design was working on a design for emergency housing when they thought about using shipping pallets. Found anywhere around the world, they are a ubiquitous building block and set about to come up with an easy to build shelter. The Pallet House shelter can be built with only basic tools in about a day and can be upgraded over time with insulation and other materials for more permanent housing.
Jellyfish Theatre in London
Shipping pallets are a great and inexpensive building block for temporary structures. As these do not need to stand the test of time, the pallets can be put up quickly to form basic structures like this theatre in London. The Jellyfish Theatre was up and running during the summer of 2010 and could seat 120 people for its performances.

Produced by Nicky Wu (吳奇隆), mainland Chinese drama, The Bride With White Hair <新白发魔女传> premiered on September 14 on Hunan TV. As the drama delivered excellent ratings, Hunan TV will air six episodes in a week instead of the originally planned four episodes. Although the drama has achieved ideal ratings, it is also heavily criticized by viewers.
Too Many Animations?
First time producer, Nicky Wu, added vibrant colors and many visual effects in the new version of The Bride With White Hair. However, many netizens blasted the drama for having too many animations and criticized the poor visual effects.
Responding to the viewers' feedback, Nicky indicated that the drama emphasized on the martial arts instead. "Maybe it's the different perspective of the viewers. This is not a fantasy drama, and does not have too many animations and visual effects. The martial arts scenes are real and the other effects only enhance the drama. I feel that it is not bad at all."
Lead Actress Ma Su Not Striking?
As compared to Brigitte Lin (林青霞), many viewers felt that lead actress Ma Su (马苏) is not attractive and striking enough to play the lead character. Defending his choice of the cast, Nicky said, "She is also pretty in her way, while cold and ruthless too."
Viewers also questioned the editing of the drama. The plot advances too rapidly as Nicky and Ma Su already had an underwater kissing in the first episode, which left many viewers baffled. In regards to viewers' comments, Nicky said, "We hope to progress the relationship faster. However, we will be conservative managing the love scenes in the ancient drama. It will not be overly passionate. Haha… you will be disappointed!"
Fourth Prince Voiceover?
As Nicky used the same voice artist that dubbed his character from Bu Bu Jing Xin <步步驚心>, many netizens felt the presence of the "Fourth Prince in" The Bride With White Hair. Nicky stated that he selected the same voice artist as he is more familiar with Nicky's voice, expressions and acting.
Nicky also added, "As the same voice is utilized in another drama, it's like I am still the same actor who acts in a different drama."
Post-production Still Incomplete
Although the drama has premiered last week on Hunan TV, the crew is still rushing to complete the post-production for later episodes. Nicky revealed, "We still have not given the tapes to Hunan TV for this Friday and Saturday's airing. We are still rushing and the pressure is so intense!"
The production team of the drama is facing a tight deadline since the filming. Within a short five-month period, the team has to rush in the filming, post-production, voiceover, editing and even the promotional photos. Nicky said that they were targeting to wrap up the post-production and had no time to consider the ratings.
As The Bride With White Hair will air six episodes in a three-day week, the production crew let off their frustrations on Weibo. The production chief, Li Longfei (李龍飛) wrote, "Six episodes! The joke is too big!"
Another crew member also wrote, "The stage jumps too fast! The trailer and the promotional photos have not even disseminated yet! We need to buy the ingredients first in order to cook a lavish meal!"

do mainland drama always dub the artist voice?
Yes, in order to achieve a standard accent. People speaking in one dialect are often unintelligible to people who speak another.
for me, i think it is better to use their original voice, especially they are still speaking the same language
oh I didn't know that. Now I feel like I didn't lose anything when I watch with cantonese voiceovers.
sorrow, I personally don't like dubbing either but that has more to do with sloppy synchronization. As for speaking the same language, it's really not that simple. Accents and dialects often go hand in hand – I'm an American, so English is my native tongue, but I would have to really strain to understand some English speakers from the deep South or from many areas in the UK. The goal of dubbing is to make the material as accessible as possible but, as I said before, I wish the sound mixing was a little more professional.
I don't watch many mainland dramas, but there are some exceptions, I think. I've seen a couple of dramas that only had partial dubbing, like the 2011 remake of Princess Pearl (Huan Zhu Ge Ge), and A Story of Lala's Promotion (杜拉拉升职记). Only the artistes from Hong Kong and Taiwan were dubbed (presumably because of their accents), whilst the mainland artistes were undubbed.
Some actors dub their own voice but Nicky Wu is a must since he speaks with Taiwanese accent. I like the 4th prince voice.
I heard that TVB contracted artistes can't use their own voices when they act in mainland no matter how great they are in Mandarin because TVB prohibited it.
Meanwhile when in HK, they can't use Cantonese when speaking to another TV station.
I doubt it. If Mainland China actors are dubbed with other professional dubbers more so the heavily accented mandarin speakers from HK.
They do, but at times the actor voices their own voice too. Therefore, at times you do get to hear their real voice.
LOL I was wondering why he chose Ma Su too but not because I thought she was ugly or anything. He could at least waited two more months before airing. What's the big rush? Well at least the rating are doing well.
I love Nicky Wu as the 4th Prince… need to wait for English Sub before I can watch this series…
i watched few episode. I love Nicky Wu. i like the drama but i also think the drama is kinda rush too.. too fast. I'm happy that that his drama doing good. Nicky work too hard..
I'm glad the ratings are good. I've been so excited for this series! The fighting scenes are really good, it's been such a long time since I've seen so many hand-to-hand combats
I think Ma Su is very pretty and striking in the series. People just can't stop themselves doing comparison, but as the story has been changed, I don't know. It's not very fair.
Hmmm…actually, the ratings are just "okay". I would say, good ratings are usually 1.5+.
ep.1= 0.752
ep.2= 0.582
ep.3= 0.966
ep.4= 0.593
ep.5= 0.527
ep.6= 0.361
They are being especially harsh on his production, because of his high peak popularity……
I don't see nicky in the above photo. I only see 4th prince.
Jet Li also used the same voice actor for all his HK movies, so much so, I associated that was with him already and was surprised at how his real voice sound in Lethal Weapon 4.
He does sound like his nose is being pinched when he is talking but not a bad voice just not a voice you associate with such a highly skilled martial artiste.
Yes, I'm also surprised with the rush to air. Nicky is probably cashing-in as much as possible on his current popularity. Frankly I didn't really like the "cute eyes & shy smile" during the love scenes with Ma Su. It is so out of place for a swordsman, I expected a more "4th prince" kinda attitude more just like when he first met Rouxi
not the same characters………
Well, he looks like a good kisser and what better to be ratings puller than a kiss scene from the very get go? My problem is more with the old fashioned costumes. Not much budget there. And not very memorable looking girls either.
But it is heaps better than the girls in Palace II / Gong II. Every woman in there had something done to their face, worst offender is the empress, next is the leading lady, then the sidelined actresses. Never had I seen so many plastic surgery and for the first time, the fake eyelashes look fake whilst in other series are more natural.
BBJX is showing the cantonese version soon. I am itching to watch it in HD again, just for the costumes!
And of course my 4th prince.
"BBJX is showing the cantonese version soon. I am itching to watch it in HD again, just for the costumes!"
Ooh, may I ask when? I might have to get my mum to watch it as well – she rarely picks up a drama if it's in mandarin.
ASTRO sept 28 4pm not sure 311 or 310. Should be 310 since it is HD. The dubbing sounds good and dramatic. Hoping for Eng subs this time.
Thank you~ Cannot wait!
I've yet to watch this so I have no idea, but…
"Maybe it's the different perspective of the viewers." I understand if we're talking about the acting, the storyline, or whether the actors themselves are well-suited for the role. But surely if the viewers say that there are too many animations/visual effects, it really does mean that there ARE too many…? Perhaps Nicky should try being more open to critique.
I actually think it is unfair to compare Ma Su with an amazingly beautiful Brigette Lin. Ma Su looks pretty but she is not ethereal like Brigette or Shui Ling. Acting wise, she is good.
I actually hate the vibrant colours.
Ma Su is pretty but in a more cute way which was why she really suited the role of Xiao Hui in BXJ. She is pretty in her own way..
OK, it seems another BBJX alum has done well with a follow-up.
So far, we have two ups: LSS with Xuan Yuan Jiang and Nicky with this drama.
Kevin Cheng's Mystery in the Palace failed.
I've watched 6 episodes, i was rather disappointed when i watched the first – fourth episodes actually. i am personally don't like Wuxia film, but usually am still okay if the plot / storyline is good. reaching 5th & 6th episode, it's changed my perspective honestly, it's getting better i think for not too many animation and the plot is quite stable. for Ma su, i don't think she is not attractive, am quite agree for as she is not striking, maybe its because the images she has created for her usual roles. i was shocked seeing those costumes when the posters came out, but it still looks okay on screen.
I honestly don't understand why people have to criticize on CGI/Special Effects. To me, it's the best thing a show could have, the vibrant colors are what makes it so exciting. I hate it when people just think it's bad or whatever, I sometimes wonder if we're even watching the same show cos I do not understand how it's bad! I LOVE the CGI on this show, that's the number 1 thing that attracted me.
I also think the voice dubbing is great, I am really tired of people always talking down on dubbing… I barely ever see people mention it if they like it, the voice actors don't even get credit which is unfair. It's just so terrible that people only criticise the dubber when they think it's bad. When they think it's good, do they actually credit the voice actor? I have hardly seen it!!!

My doctor did was I feared he was going to do, which was remove too much (or ALL) of the gynecomastia. I had Bilateral gynecomastia surgery that left me with a crater. Also did horizontal cuts :( Right pectoralis = small gland removed.(looks ok) Left pectoralis = Larger gland removed+larger surgical cut used. (left side is my problem area) Pic #1= Mildly flexing immediately after site was drained. Pic #2= relaxed, the following morning. What procedure will fix this?Currently 4 weeks post op.
What Procedure Would You Follow to Correct my Post Op Gynecomastia Crater Deformity (Pics Included)
Doctor Answers (8)
John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICS
Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Most man are just happy removing the extra breast tissue in their chests but sometimes, over-resection is possible. You should consider fat-grafting to fix the problem. Fat grafting is just liposuction followed by placement of the fat into the defect.
The fat flap may work very well in your case. The surgery closes the crater by bringing the fat together or rotating a flap into position. I would wait for awhile and let the swelling reduce.

It looks like you had over resection of the central gland and not any contouring of the surrounding breast tissue. You need to wait at least 4-6 months for revision. t that time you should make sure you have an experienced Plastic surgeon who performs gynecomastia regularly do your surgery. You might get by with further contouring liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction but might need some fat grafting as well.
Sometimes patients develop a contour deformity like a donut after over resection which can happen very easily. You should probably wiat a few months for the swelling to subside. You may need to consider strattice or fat grafting to improve the contour.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Unfortunately, this is a classic example of what not to do in gynecomastia surgery...over resection. This is a much more difficult problem to solve than the opposite undesireable of under resection. This will require fat replacement either through fat injection or a dermal-fat graft. Given the size of the defect, fat injections will be more practical. The question is when to treat being just four weeks after surgery. The demarcation of the defect is fairly clear on flexing and even identifiable when relaxed. I see no benefit to waiting until the skin scars down more firmly to the pectoralis fascia. My approach would be to proceed with revisional surgery as early as six weeks after your original procedure.
Web reference: https://www.eppleygynecomastia.com/
I would suggest you go to a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate this. I suspect a non-plastic surgeon did your surgery. Swelling of the surrounding tissues will continue for a while, so it is too early to speculate what, if anything, you might need to correct the contour. A divot can often be filled effectively with fat injections. Unlike a scar within your areola, a scar on the breast skin will be more noticible, and there is nothing that will eliminate it.

Toyota TF106 - revised turning vanes
The area of the TF105 illustrated is complex and designed to improve the efficiency of the bottom of the car and hence raise downforce. That additional downforce helps to get heat into the tyres more quickly - not a big issue in Malaysian temperatures, but one that is believed to have troubled the team in pre-season testing. There are three main elements (red arrows) - a large, vertical barge board immediately behind the front suspension and then two sculpted turning vanes behind it.

A bra is a necessary tool in any woman's attire. Dressed up or down, a bra can hamper your style or elevate you to a higher level (pun intended). It can make you look younger, older, smaller or fuller. Whether full figured or small breasted, a bra can enhance your natural curves, allowing you to go from frump to fab with the snap of a clasp.
Jene Luciani, a bra expert, shares her top 7 tips to finding a great bra below.
- Be aware of your body type so you know what bras to look for. For example, if you are more of a top-heavy "apple," you likely will be looking for fuller coverage bras, not demi-cups. A full guide by body type can be found in The Bra Book.
- Wear a thin t-shirt while trying on so you can see what each bra looks like under the sheerest of circumstances.
- Get a fitting! Or give one to yourself, using the instructions in The Bra Book. Be open-minded about your size. If you're surprised (or disappointed), remember that size is just a number (and a letter!). The proper fit of the bra is the most important part. Look for 'key' fit points like the 'bridge' between the cups lying flush and that nothing is bulging, pinching, gaping or billowing it, and the straps aren't digging in or slipping!
- If you're in a bind and there's a bra that you really love but they don't have your size, it's usually OK to go up a band size and down a cup size – or vice versa.
- Don't be afraid to put the bra on and face yourself in the mirror with a critical eye. If you see any gaps, spillage, digging in, or other signs of poor fit, it's not the right bra. Turn around and look at the back as well. The back band can be very telling too when it comes to proper fit.
- Don't get stuck in a size rut. Be sure to plan another fitting six months to a year later (our sizes fluctuate due to weight gain, hormonal changes, aging and other life changes so it's important to get fitted at least once a year!) Our bras also need to be replaced every 6 months to a year due to wear and tear so it's a good rule of thumb.
- Once you find a brand you like, or that caters especially to you, like Curvy Kate for full figures, stock up on your '7 essentials,' ie one bra for every day of the week and all occasions. These include a spa bra (comfy for everyday wear), a sports bra if you exercise, a nude t-shirt bra, a great strapless bra, and a few 'special' bras that are decorative and pretty, perfect for spicing up a hum drum work wardrobe (but only you will know!) and of course, for spicing up evenings – even let one peek out occasionally!
Let's talk! When's the last time you were fitted for a bra?

The final chance to impress Jillian came down to meeting her parents. Now you know my love for Jillian's crazy Canadian family, as I quote myself: "Now if being draped with a Canadian flag while wearing maple leaf boxers and (possibly) drinking Molson while discussing hockey is your type of thing (it's mine), you'd fit right in with Jillian's family." Though none of this (unfortunately) happened on the family's second go-around on the show, it is good to see that Grandma Jillian still is not afraid to lock lips with the men, laying a wet one on first-up URD Jr. Mom Jillian had a bunch of boring questions to ask, a bromance was lit between Dad Jillian the (possibly) "Less Than Zero" one, exploding into full-fledged love affair by the time the duo hit the grass skirt/coconut bra outfits, and Jillian and Hot Cousin Jillian had a discussion about URD Jr.'s bedroom prowess (both agreed, that's kinda important).
After meeting the parents, the couple went on their final date, where the green mankini made its triumphant(?) return. The couple went on a helicopter ride over a volcano, possibly giving the motivation for URD Jr. to return to "Iron Man" status in the Fantasy Suite (sample scene: shot of erupting volcano. Jillian: "Oh my God." Only reporting... not the writer!) I'm happy(?) to report that their return engagement was a success, and at this point, if you didn't figure out that URD Jr. was going to be the winner (going from those final five "new guys" in the premiere to leaving the show because of work to returning because he realized love is a lot better than computers), you just really weren't paying attention.
Speaking about paying attention, I have to admit I did little of that once "Kiptyn" showed up for his meet the parents segment and final date. It seemed like "Kiptyn" won Mom Jillian over a bit more, but Dad Jillian, with stars still in his eyes, could talk about nothing other than his new man-crush URD Jr. "Kiptyn" and Jillian talked about love but I think Jillian eventually figured out that "Kiptyn" is kind of boring, the kind of boring that lead to me instantly forgetting about him when he was off-screen. At this point, I was hoping that Country Music Singer was still on the show; you have to believe that he would've started hitting on Hot Cousin Jillian, probably writing a song on the spot (possibly about Hot Cousin Jillian's close resemblance to the new ABC show "Cougar Town" star Courtney Cox).
At this point, I was like "get to the good stuff" and after Jillian rambled on for a few minutes about each guy, the good stuff got going. First up and out of the limo was "Kiptyn." Like being in the front row at a general admission Jonas Brothers concert, up first on "The Bachelorette" is not where you want to be... you have to know you're going to get crushed. After "Kiptyn" poured his heart out to Jillian, Jillian let him off easily, saying "I'm in love with another man." Ouch! While performing the walk of shame, I wondered what "Kiptyn" was doing as he did the pocket pat? Looking for his dignity? Or a tissue? Either way, "Kiptyn" was not pleased, getting into the limo and nearly slamming the door in Jillian's face.
As the excitement mounted for Jillian as she waited for the arrival of URD Jr., it did twofold for me as I knew that Chandler would be making his reappearance after being sent home last week for his inability to tell Jillian that he loved her. Lo-and-behold, but who should roll up in a mini-van(!) but the former "Friend." After getting the "you are a complete tool, but thanks for playing the part" look from Chris Harrison, Chandler swept in to make his plea for Jillian's love. I'm not sure if it was the excessive sweating of Mr. Bing or the fact that he told her that he only realized that he loved her after she let him go, but the getting-on-bended knee routine that worked for Monica so did not for Jillian. In near tears (or with Chandler's sweat in her eyes), Jillian had a sit-down with Chris. Showing true class, instead of trying to ratchet up the tension (for my sake), Chris simply asked if Jillian loves URD Jr. and wants him to propose to her. After a "yes," Chris led Jillian back down to the pool so she could send Chandler packing again. Dude, at least the first time you went to the airport in a limo... because that mini-van was less-than-rocking!
Looking at the clock, I realized that there were only 10 minutes left! Where was URD Jr. anyway? Passed out in his neighbor's bed after a night of hard partying? At the "Sherlock Holmes" premiere? Finally arriving, he professed his love for Jillian, but before he would pop the question, he wanted to hear Jillian tell him that she too loved him (and his green mankini). She agreed (to one of these things) and URD Jr. got to do something that he seemed destined to do. With Chandler's sweat now in my eyes, Jillian said "yes." Cue some corny love song (said best by a friend: "it would've been much better if they used CMS' song"), a couple of clips of the couple's "journey" and a request that I tune into two more hours of mind-numbing "fun" during the "After the Final Rose" show. My prediction for the happy couple? Love, marriage and a future 'Lil Iron Man in their lives. Who says I don't believe in true love?

The entire theatre left in a great mood. The movie made me feel great about my friends, and even better about my enemies. And I recognized that winning is easy, and losing is healthy.

text: 5 A good value setdickiep | 11/06/2012 | See all dickiep's reviews (137)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer This collection was issued originally in 1992, at a very expensive 45.00. This is exactly the same but at a much cheaper price and is well worth a look by any Fleetwood Mac Fan. The set steers very firmly to the Buckingham Nicks period of Fleetwood mac, with only the 4th Disc going back to the Peter Green years. The set has four exclusive tracks one live track "Standback" which are not available on any other set. Paper doll is defiantly from the Behind the Mask period, written by Nick's and Rick Vito, as Nick had left the band by this point due to Mick Fleetwood not allowing her to use Silver springs on her own Greatest hits Time and Space. Silver Springs is included at and at the time was the only place you could find it on CD. Make me a mask a Buckingham song has all the trade marks of being a solo song knocked up in his own studio. Love Shines which was issued as a single, a McVie song is a typical Mac friendly song. The set dose not run in order which is a bit of a pain, infact the first two discs bounce all over the place taking in tracks from Fleetwood Mac too Behind the mask. Only one track from Rhumours does not make the set "I don't want to know" but the rest are included, perhaps in hindsight to many tracks, belittling the original album. The third disc includes the Bob Welch period and has highlights, with some very nice McVie songs, Come a little bit close and heroes are hard to find are just great to hear again and always seem to be overlooked. A few of the tracks have alternative versions, Gypsy is the rarely heard long version, a few tracks are different mixes like the the chain, second hand news to name a couple. For value for money this is an excellent reissue, and the negatives are completely out weighed by the positives, the booklet is nice collection of pictures but very little information on the tracks. Each band member from the Rumours period writes a few lines about Fleetwood Mac.

Andre Villas-Boas has hit out at the "stupid" West Ham fans who chanted anti-Semitic abuse towards Spurs supporters during Sunday's match.
A section of West Ham fans mocked the stabbing of a Spurs supporter in Rome during Tottenham's 3-1 victory over their rivals at White Hart Lane.
A group of away fans were heard hissing, mimicking the sound of Jews being gassed during the Second World War, and also chanted the name of Adolf Hitler.
Tottenham, who have a historic connection with the Jewish community, have vowed to help root out the culprits and West Ham have already given one fan a lifetime ban.
The Football Association have also launched an investigation into the matter and police have cautioned two Hammers fans for racially aggravated public order offences.
"The level of aggression of the chanting goes out of proportion. It is complete stupidity," Tottenham manager Villas-Boas told a press conference today.
"I am grateful for the quickness in which both clubs have gone into the matter, plus the FA and police. I think West Ham have set an example immediately by giving a lifetime ban to the fan.
"It was obviously avoidable and I am pretty happy with the way that both clubs have worked with each other to try and get the actions right immediately."
Villas-Boas and his opposite number Sam Allardyce were reluctant to condemn the chanting in the immediate aftermath of the game, both saying they had not heard it.
Both have since had time to go over the footage from the match, which clearly shows West Ham fans chanting about Hitler and singing "Can we stab you every week?" in reference to the attack on Spurs fan Ashley Mills, who was left fighting for his life after a vicious assault in the Drunken Ship pub in Rome last Thursday.
Allardyce is convinced the people behind the chants will be found.
And when asked if supporters found guilty of such abuse should be banned for life, the West Ham boss told a press conference. "Yes.
"It's a small minority but at the end of the day a small minority can make themselves heard at football matches if they really want to and we must deal with it.
"The good thing is with security cameras and CCTV cameras, it's difficult for them to get away with it. Hopefully we can pick out those people and punish them in the right way."
Allardyce today added his voice to those who have condemned the chanting, including Hammers co-owner David Gold and the club's Israeli midfielder Yossi Benayoun.
"It's very, very disappointing to hear what has been said and done by a small minority of fans. No one condones that sort of behaviour," Allardyce said.
"I don't wish to hear any of that sort of chanting in the game of football anywhere in this country. We have to continue to do all we can for it possibly not to happen.
"If we punish the people who have done it in the right way I think we will cut it out and stop it."
Police confirmed today that no more arrests have yet been made, while Allardyce defended his decision not to condemn the chanting straight after the match.
"I was doing a press conference after the game and had no idea what had happened and what had been said or done," the 58-year-old said.
"I don't know how I was supposed to react to something I didn't know anything about.
"You are in a very difficult position. We had just been beat 3-1 by Tottenham, I wasn't in the best mood. I am not expecting the question. I am expecting to talk about football and I am a football manager.
"I didn't want to comment on it. Now, like everyone else, I don't condone it."

Almost 100 'Dogs' and 'Cats' Line Up to Plead for Protection in Laboratories
Looks pretty good, doesn't it? Almost 100 PETA supporters took part in an eye-catching photo opportunity at Marble Arch in London today to demand that the government not adopt lower standards of protection for animals in laboratories when it incorporates the EU's new directive regulating animal experiments later this year. If the government adopts the directive without changes, all animals will be affected. But dogs and cats in particular would become far more likely to be used in experiments because they would lose the special protections that Britain has given them for … Read more.

"Don't buy it."
The software tested well. After I paid the $40 and registered the program, the software became progressively worse. Tech support doesn't respond, either. Put your money in a real company's software.
Tech support doesn't respond to messages. The software tested pretty well. But, as soon as I registered the product, the video previews in the Trim utility disappeared. I've done everything (reboot, re-install software) I can to make the software perform the way it did during testing, and nothing has worked. I have enough RAM memory. So, how can you edit video if you can't see the filmed footage?
1 reply to this review
Did you ever fix this problem? When i'm editing i get it the way i want it but than i publish it and all that work was gone like it never happened.

How Does an Audience Change a Play?
How crowds and spaces affect PigPen Theatre Company's work
A play's identity changes based on where you see it and whom you see it with. The same production seems different in a large, empty theatre than it does in a crowded basement, and that's half the beauty of live performance. One way or another, everything and everyone makes an impact.
For proof, just look to PigPen Theatre Company's production of The Nightmare Story. A dark fable about dreams that spring to life in the woods, the show premiered in a tiny downtown venue as part of 2010′s FringeNYC Festival. Until the end of the week, however, it's playing at The Irondale Center, a massive converted church in Brooklyn.
The audience has been just as variable. Often, PigPen plays to adults who see theatre all the time, but on four Thursday afternoons, TDF has sponsored special matinees through its Stage Doors program. Those performances are for local students who almost never see shows.
The company says both the space and the Stage Doors audience have changed The Nightmare Story.
"This space is a character," says PigPen member Arya Shahi. "You can't ignore the church that we're in." Irondale's atmosphere certainly suits the production, which uses shadow play, puppets, and original music to tell macabre fairy tales. When a little boy is chased by a creature with glowing teeth, it's creepy to see the beast emerge from the cavernous space at the back of an old church.
Moments like that, which rely on space and distance and darkness, weren't possible when the company performed The Nightmare Story at FringeNYC. Consider a scene where two performers manipulate a large deer puppet. Shahi says, "The deer scene in [Irondale] reads completely differently. In [the Fringe] it's all of a sudden this giant two-man puppet coming through the audience, whereas in this space, the puppet still feels small. It still feels like a deer in the forest, coming out of the darkness."
The show also feels different when PigPen performs for students. (The final Stage Doors matinee is tomorrow.) "They bring a rambunctiousness, because many of them don't see much theatre," says PigPen member Alex Falberg. "That's kind of great because they don't know the rules and they don't have to be 'polite.' They're much more willing to give responses and make noise. Sometimes, traditional theatregoers aren't as willing to talk or respond or interact."
The students at last week's matinee didn't hold anything back. They screeched when creatures slithered around the stage, and they hooted during the comic relief.
Kelly Chester, a language arts teacher at George Jackson Academy in Manhattan, says it's important for her students to be audience members. "I feel since we're in the greatest city in the world, the kids should be able to take advantage of the arts, and most of them can't afford to," she explains. "So this is a great way to bring about that opportunity for them. It's important because it furthers their education in a different way."

Suprising update posted next page.
Dear Manager,
We live in a location in Tennessee where we have easy access to six different Wal-Marts and two Sams Clubs in TN and VA.
I work third shift and doing so means I usually shop in the early morning hours usually between 2 and 4 am. This morning my wife and I decided to go to the new Wal-Mart on Market St in Johnson City TN for the first and possibly the last time. This is a weekly trip and we usually spend in upwards of $200. As usual at Wal-Mart the greeter was pleasant and asked how we were doing. We went straight to women's clothing; I was just standing there while my wife was looking.
After a second or two a cashier according to the little yellow tag walked up to me and said rather abruptly "Sir we don't allow pistols in the store" I advised her I have a valid TN Handgun Carry Permit. At which point she replied "don't matter you have to leave". Under TN law if asked to leave I have to so I did.
I have carried in the five other Wal-Marts and both Sams and have never had any problems. I sometimes get a curious look, once a stocker asked how she could go about getting a permit. But nothing like this morning.
I have 2 problems with what happened this morning as follows:
First I have several friends that work at local Wal-Marts and am aware that it is your companies policy that cashiers are not to confront any customer, even shoplifting has to be witnessed by a manager before loss prevention can approach a customer. So why did she say anything at all to me. Far more bizarre to me was the obvious plain clothed loss prevention guy was standing there talking to the cashier as I was walking out. Why was he too much of a coward to say anything, and why are you even paying him.
Second I have been fingerprinted, background checked, and trained above and beyond the level that the state requires. It is not someone who is a law-abiding citizen that legally carries a firearm secured in a holster that you have to fear. The ones you want to fear are the criminals who walk through the door with a gun in their hand intent on robbery or killing.
You can check it online now; the crime rates are steadily climbing in the Johnson City area. Would you want to walk around in Johnson City with your family at 3am with out some form of protection? The average response time for the JCPD is four minutes by then it is too late, also the JCPD qualifies with their side arms 1hr every other month and most don't practice anymore than that. So am I willing to bet my and my families lives on someone who is four minutes away with 6hrs training a year? I would think not.
Finally keep in mind that there are over 200,000 carry permits in this state. Also keep in mind that Wal-Mart is no longer very competitive, your prices are often beat by grocery stores and we have three new Targets in the area now.
I understand there was a recent very near tragedy in a Sams in North Carolina; this was caused by an act of blatant stupidity. Please don't let the actions of one make us all appear bad to you. Also remember a couple years back a Wal-Mart employee who was being stabbed to death was saved by a customer who was legally carrying in I believe Arizona.
I am sending this letter through the website however I will also call the manager of this store during regular hours today.
Piney Flats, TN

Germany returns Namibian skulls taken in colonial era
Namibian tribal leaders have visited Berlin to collect the skulls of 20 compatriots who died under Germany's colonial rule in the early 1900s.
German scientists took the heads to perform experiments seeking to prove the racial superiority of white Europeans over black Africans.
The skulls were uncovered three years ago in medical archive exhibits.
A ceremony was held in the German capital to return the remains as a gesture of reconciliation.
But chaotic scenes accompanied the speeches, particularly an address by German Deputy Foreign Minister Cornelia Pieper.
A handful of demonstrators shouted "reparations", "apology" and "genocide".
In the 1880s, Germany acquired present-day Namibia, calling it German South-West Africa. In 1904 the Herero, the largest of about 200 ethnic groups, rose up against colonial rule killing more than a 120 civilians.
The German response was ruthless. Gen Lothar von Trotha signed a notorious extermination order against the Herero, defeated them in battle and drove them into the desert, where most died of thirst. Of an estimated 65,000 Herero, only 15,000 survived. It is thought about 10,000 Nama people also died.
In 1985, a UN report classified the events as an attempt to exterminate the Herero and Nama peoples of South-West Africa, and therefore the earliest attempted genocide in the 20th Century. In 2004, Germany's ambassador to Namibia expressed regret for what happened.
Germany has consistently refused to pay reparations to its former colony, arguing that it has given much development aid to Namibia. But Namibians at the ceremony said the aid had not reached them.
Earlier, Ueriuka Festus Tjikuua, a member of the Namibian delegation, told reporters: "We have come first and foremost to receive the mortal human remains of our forefathers and mothers and to return them to the land of their ancestors."
The skulls belong to 20 people who died after an uprising against their German colonial rulers more than 100 years ago.
They were among hundreds who starved to death after being rounded up in camps.
Some of the dead had their heads removed and of these, about 300 were taken to Germany, arriving between 1909 and 1914.
The skulls gathered dust in German archives until three years ago when a German reporter uncovered them at the Medical History Museum of the Charite hospital in Berlin, and at Freiburg University in the south-west.
German researchers believe the skulls belong to 11 people from the Nama ethnic group and nine from the Herero.
They were four women, 15 men and a boy.
'Nazi forerunner'Mr Tjikuua said the mission intended to "extend a hand of friendship" to Germans.
Namibians, he said, wished to encourage a dialogue "with the full participation and involvement of the representatives of the descendants of those that suffered heavily under dreadful and atrocious German colonial rule".
Charite spokeswoman Claudia Peter said the purported research on the skulls performed by German scientists had been rooted in perverse racial theories that later planted the seeds for the Nazis' genocidal ideology.
"They thought that they could prove that certain peoples were worth less than they were," she told AFP news agency.
"What these anthropologists did to these people was wrong and their descendants are still suffering for it."

Way of the Peaceful Warrior
During his junior year at the University of California, Dan Millman first stumbled upon his mentor (nicknamed Socrates) at an all-night gas station. At the time, Millman hoped to become a world-champion gymnast. "To survive the lessons ahead, you're going to need far more energy than ever before," Socrates warned him that night. "You must cleanse your body of tension, free your mind of stagnant knowledge, and open your heart to the energy of true emotion." From there, the unpredictable Socrates proceeded to teach Millman the "way of the peaceful warrior." At first Socrates shattered every preconceived notion that Millman had about academics, athletics, and achievement. But eventually Millman stopped resisting the lessons, and began to try on a whole new ideology--one that valued being conscious over being smart, and strength in spirit over strength in body. Although the character of the cigarette-smoking Socrates seems like a fictional, modern-day Merlin, Millman asserts that he is based on an actual person. Certain male readers especially appreciate the coming-of-age theme, the haunting love story with the elusive woman Joy, and the challenging of Western beliefs about masculine power and success.

"About a third of the letters came right back - many returned to sender. A good percentage of those I heard from are elderly. Another large percentage are people who have a Christian bias." Many hopefuls, much like Peter Finch in Network, are angered to the point of distraction. The aforementioned Frank Barela of the People's Revolutionary Continental Army, for example, sent back Moore's letter covered with a crabby scrawl: "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO - ALL YOUR HOMEWORK FOR YOU?" My BarelaGram was notarized - by Barela - and stamped "Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Department of State. Commission Expires April 13, 1989." He questions my sanity ("Conjecture: Your letter = Signs of negativity, depression. Possibly hostile to me for my candidacy") and refuses to grant an interview until I send a resume, clips, a list of all the profs who shaped my world view, and an overall justification for being.
Surveying the mailings from candidates who share more willingly than Barela, Moore offers this on motive. "The major thing seems to be the value of having run. A lot of these people are good-hearted generalists. They look at all the problems and they feel an overwhelming urge to do something, and this is it. A handful seem fairly bright, and fairly articulate, and sincerely want to bring about change, and some are actually going around with that message."
Who fits Moore's bill is, of course, a subjective matter. Ask The Messiah or "Alamo" Scott if they do, and the answer will likely be, "Yes!!" Others may disagree. In compiling my Candidates You Need to Know About ballot, I started by letting Moore guide me with his informed picks, which he obligingly rattled off with the gruff, insider chatter one would hope for from a flip-side Frank Mankiewicz. ("Barela is a complete schizoid crank...Susan Block's a terrific. Sex therapist. Thinks all problems trace to our loneliness and frustration.") Moore's tip sheet was bolstered (and cut) by my own research and prejudices. I purged the ballot of people who already get plenty of publicity (David Duke and Laughlin) or who have been around long enough to achieve protest-candidate infamy (Stassen, LaRouche, Eugene McCarthy). The Barelas of the world are nifty the first time you encounter one, but the novelty rapidly gives way to pathos, so I ejected all the screamers.
(Several mutterers made the cut, however.)
Finally, sadly, there can be no Billy Joe Clegg. Despite B.J.C.'s sprawling post-office-box empire, he has eluded both Moore and me.
On Election Day, most of the people on the following ballot won't be on the one you get to punch. But don't forget, the glory of our system is that you are free to scribble in any of them as a way to protest the choice you will have: Bush versus whichever Demo Quintuplet survives (Bill Clinton, Tom Harkin, Bob Kerry, Paul Tsongas, or Jerry Brown). The list is arranged alphabetically so - Yo, candidates! - hold off the fax barrages about favoritism or conspiracy.
AGRAN, Larry. (Democrat: Irvine, California.) The name probably means much less to you than STORCH, Larry, but within the universe of altie-candidates, Agran is one of the Big Swinging Dongs. Unlike almost all his colleagues, he has held elective office. (He was mayor of Irvine from 1984 to 1990, when he went down to defeat.) Basically, he is a Haydenesque liberal who used his mayoral perch to push futury visions of "thinking globally and acting locally." As a prexy candidate, says Victoria Miller, one of his soldiers, he is out to "reprioritize." For example, Agran would like to shift the bulk of our military expenditures in Europe and Japan to domestic programs, in a parcel-out that would leave most spending decisions to cities and towns.
Agran is best known for his maverick squeaky-wheel efforts to get equal time with The Quints. He disrupted the December 19 Democratic debate in Nashua, New Hampshire, moderated by Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller IV (D-W.V.), who grumbled that he would summon the police if Agran did not shut up. The People grumbled back, though, and none of the candidates objected to having Agran (and New Alliance Party candidate Lenora B. Fulani) participate. Since then the freeze-out has resumed. Agran wanted to be in the December 15 NBC debate, but Miller says the network kept "moving the goalposts" on the question of who does and doesn't qualify as a major candidate. Agran didn't make first team at the Democrats' January 19 debate, broadcast by WMUR-TV in Manchester. (That one desperately needed a wild card. Its moderator, National Public Radio's Cokie Roberts, controlled it like a dominatrix kindergarten teacher.) Agran wasn't invited to trade swipes with the big boys at the January 31 Democratic debate, either.
Agran is planning to file various complaints that, like most such efforts, will probably get him nowhere. But his fight brings up a key point: Who does decide who is presidential timber and who is clownish peckerwood? The question seems weirdly subjective in the Dan Quayle era. Why does Jerry Brown have more gravitas than Agran? He hasn't held office for more than a decade.

WEDNESDAY, March 26, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- CT scans can help detect gout that's been missed by the current standard testing method, a new study suggests.
Gout is a common and painful form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the body. The standard test -- called needle aspiration -- involves taking fluid or tissue samples from a gout-affected joint and checking them for uric acid crystals.
This test usually detects gout in patients, but not always.
In this study, Mayo Clinic researchers found that dual energy CT scans detected gout in one-third of patients who had negative results on the needle aspiration test. The CT scans were particularly effective in patients who'd had several gout-like episodes but had remained undiagnosed.
After CT scans pinpointed what appeared to be uric acid crystals, ultrasound-guided needle aspiration was used to collect samples from those areas, according to the study published in the journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
"These were in part patients that had been falsely diagnosed with diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or labeled with a different type of inflammatory arthritis, resulting in a completely different, and often not effective, treatment approach," study author Dr. Tim Bongartz said in a Mayo news release.
"And there were patients who remained undiagnosed for several years with, for example, unexplained chronic elbow or Achilles tendinitis, where the CT scan then helped us to pick up uric acid deposits," the rheumatologist added.
These findings don't suggest that CT scans should be the first test used to diagnose gout, Bongartz said. He noted that needle aspiration is effective in most cases, and that this study found it was superior to CT scans in diagnosing patients with their first gout flare-up.
Early and accurate diagnosis of gout is important because it is treated with medications different from those used with other forms of inflammatory arthritis. Proper drug treatment and changes in eating habits can help prevent more gout attacks and the spread of the disease to other joints.
"What we are learning from the dual-energy CT scans has really changed our perception of where gout can occur and how it can manifest," Bongartz said. "The ability to visualize those deposits clearly broadens our perspective on gout."
The study disclosed that the medical technology company Siemens Medical Solutions provided partial salary support for the study's senior author through an unrestricted research grant through Mayo.

A solid mid-range choice, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 combines strong performance with one of the brightest screens we've tested on a tablet. With Samsung's subtle UI improvements on top of the latest Ice Cream Sandwich OS, you have the best possible Android experience with access to everything in the Google Play market and the ability to switch easily between tasks. The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 also comes with an IR blaster that allows it to double as a remote control.
Nexus 7 is not from Samsung!! what a big mistake it is !
Suggesting some Windows 8 tabs?? Asus tab 810 is really good with stylus for notes.
Yes the nexus tablet is by Samsung dumb*ss.
Such a good tablet, I will definitely buy it. Although I may have to confirm the specs and compare the specs with other tablets, but with this tablet I think I can go for it
You put the Galaxy Tab 2 on there instead of the ASUS TF300..? Why? The TF300 is cheaper and usually comes as a bundle deal (free gift cards/free apps/free games); is way more powerful; and is of the "transformer" series so it can become a netbook. That Galaxy Tab 2 is already outdated and should be a lot cheaper than it's current price.
thats toooo expensive haaaibo

A Is for ... Apricot Gelato!
To celebrate the dog days of summer, we're kicking off one sweet series: Icy Treats A to Z, which showcases cool creations from our favorite food bloggers. First up, Roasted Apricot Gelato. (Since it's not officially summer, we thought it only appropriate to start with a spring fruit.)
This recipe from Couscous & Consciousness caught our eye because of the way the blogger chooses to enhance the apricots: by roasting them with butter and brown sugar. This produces a flavor that's rich, deep, tart, and sweet at the same time. Talk about a scrumptious scoop.
Visit the Couscous & Consciousness site to get the Roasted Apricot Gelato recipe. It calls for minimal ingredients just eggs, sugar, milk, cream, and a vanilla bean in addition to the roasted apricots which makes for a wholesome treat. Make it even more so by using organic ingredients.
Stay tuned for more ice cream recipes throughout the summer, plus great gelatos, granitas, popsicles, and more. We'll be posting 2 frozen dessert recipes each week to carry you through the season. We dare you to try them all! Or, got any flavors you'd like to try? Leave your suggestions in the comments and we'll see if we can dig them up.

Basically I am pulling a large string from a database for example:
"This is my string I am getting from the database
It also contains new line characters"
So when I assign this string to a JavaScript variable I get a syntax error because the JavaScript variables do not allow for new line characters.
Any Ideas?
Thanks, Ryan
See the list of (other) escape sequences [javascriptkit.com].
If you are in Perl you can easily fix this with a couple of regex's...
## To change linebreaks into actual linebreak escapes... s/\n/\\n/g;
You could also use this for other escape characters.

This makes me think of how they used to consider drawing blood to be the most important part of the doctor's job, because the science of the day thought that there was "good blood" and "bad blood" and that it was the bad blood that made you sick. I still don't understand how they thought they were telling the difference between the two different kinds of blood.
The interesting thing is that there actually was a benefit to that kind of blood letting. It even occasionally gets used today. It will bring down a fever and there are a few other benefits as well. Of course, it's only used at times when it's actually going to be a net benefit, since bleeding someone has so many drawbacks to take into consideration as well.

Featured Article
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The U.S Supreme Court has ruled in favor of 20 New Haven firefighters who sued the city because they were denied promotion.
In a five to four decision, the court ruled that 20 firefighters, 19 white and one hispanic, were unfairly denied promotions because of their race after the city of New Haven threw out the test results.
New Haven said it did so because no minorities would have been promoted.
Jon Bauer, an employment discrimination law professor at the University of Connecticut, said the justices sided with the plaintiffs because New Haven did not have evidence to back-up its belief that the test results showed the exam was unfair to minorities.
"The court's approach really doesn't allow employers to just say because we'd like the leadership to reflect the composition of the community we're going to grant a preference for that reason," said Bauer. "The court has, in this and other cases, the position that that's not a sufficient basis for considering race and promotions decisions."
Bauer added the decision leaves some uncertainty on discrimination law that will need sorted out in future cases.
"For example, all the court says in order to throw out a test that has a disparate impact, an employer has to have a strong basis in evidence for believing that the test isn't valid or that there are less discriminatory alternatives," said Bauer. "They really don't provide very much guidance on how much of a showing is needed to show a strong basis in evidence. They said what New Haven had wasn't enough but it's left pretty unclear what would be enough."
Bauer said many fire departments use a system where people applying for promotions have to perform in real life situations and are evaluated based on how they make decisions. He said if New Haven had adopted this type of evaluation for promotions, they might not have faced this situation.

Why We Love Ladybugs
There's a good reason why lady beetles, aka ladybugs, are prevalent this time of year: aphids.
Ladybugs, from the family Coccinellidae, are actually beetles with voracious appetites for those soft-bodied insects that suck plant juices.
Wherever there are aphids, you'll usually see ladybugs. It may take awhile for the ladybugs to find them, but find them they will.

Ladybugs in February
The overwintering ladybugs tucked in the leaves of our tangerine tree are gone.
Sunny temperatures hit 75 degrees, and off they went. Guess they thought it was spring.
Anyhow, they made a glorious sight as emerged from the folds of a tangerine leaf. One perched on the top of a tangerine tree and then crawled up and down the leaf.
Natalia Vandenberg, a USDA employee with the Systematic Entomology Lab, Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, identified these as an introduced species, Coccinella septempunctata.

No, ladybugs (aka ladybird beetles or lady beetles) on Artemisia.
Ladybugs are overwintering on our Artemisia (genus belonging to the daisy family, Asteracease).
When the rains come, the drops bubble up on the plants and the ladybugs alike.
It's Christmas Eve and the ladybugs are Nature's sparkling red ornaments, providing comfort, cheer and color to the holiday season.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Bubbly Ladybug
Please Pass the Ants
You gotta love those ladybugs.Ladybugs, aka ladybeetles (family Coccinellidae), are best known for devouring aphids, those pesky little critters that suck plant juices.
But have you ever seen ladybugs gobbling ants?
There's a three-way predator-prey relationship here. When aphids pierce plant stems, they leave behind honeydew excretions. Ants scurry to the honeydew and quickly alert their buddies. Soon, you'll see a long trail of ants marching toward the honeydew.
Now enter the ladybug, which is attracted--quite nicely, thank you--to both aphids and ants.
This little beetle will feast on aphids and ants much like we humans chow down on popcorn and jelly beans at a movie.
In the photos below, unsuspecting ants climbed a lavender stalk, only to meet their demise.
If you look on You Tube, you'll see a video of an apparently famished ladybug chowing down ants. The background music of Queen's "We Will Rock You" adds the finishing touch.
Want to learn more about ants? Check out professor Phil Ward's website. He's a noted myrmecologist (one who studies the taxonomy, evolution, biogeography and behavior of ants) and a professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis.
One of his former graduate students, Alex Wild, has incredible insect photography on his website, appropriately named myrmecos.net.

The Hunters Are Back
The hunters are back.Ladybugs, aka ladybird beetles, are searching for aphids and other soft-bodied insects.
If you see a ladybug (family Coccinellidae), odds are you'll see her prey, the plant-sucking aphids.
Today we spotted a ladybug in a flower garden on the UC Davis campus and she wasn't there to enjoy the warm sunshine or watch the students go by.
She was there to dine.
The ladybug snared a few aphids, then flipped under a leaf like an Olympic athlete performing a daily routine.
She wasn't going for a gold medal, though. She was heading for another kind of gold--a gold aphid.
