If you haven't seen the first incarnation of this particular piece, this one is actually great, and we recommend this one. He's a truly great pianist and stage presence. On the other hand, having seen and loved ALL of Mr. Feldman's many recent shows (and productions) in SoCal - including the earlier one on Lincoln's death, I have to emphatically say that most of the changes to this one just sucked out all of the emotion for me. When I saw the "old" version I was actually shocked to find myself crying freely at the end, whereas this one was merely informative and pleasant. I am not surprised he removed the large orchestra - and that wasn't the problem for me. But removing the first-person narrator eviscerated it, in my opinion.

I found this boring. The "story" Felder tells (mostly about a 23 year old military surgeon who tended to a dying Abraham Lincoln) is, frankly, not that interesting. I also did not really like Mr. Felder's singing voice.

I have seen many of Hersey Felders shows and loved them! This one I looked at my watch a couple times. I enjoyed going, but I think it needed an intermission, since there was alot of dialogue.

Hershey Felder is such a talented one man show. His ability to share historical facts with accuracy and detail always amazes me. I've seen him in several different performance and would highly recommend him!!!

Mouth problems
I don't know what's going on but my mouth is all... weird.
I'm not suffering from dry mouth but my mouth is kind of... it's hard to explain, not fresh? It just feels really hot and kind of sticky. Even after I brushed my teeth my breath is terrible. And it's not going away. I used mouthwash, the kind with alcohol, I used one without alcohol that's for dry mouth, I used hydrogen peroxide but none have helped. I flossed and scraped my tongue but nothing has made any difference.
I haven't eaten anything unusual that I've never had before and I always drink plenty of water. I'm not on any new meds.
Any ideas?
Ms minnamouse.......what meds are you on? I had problems with dry mouth/yeast/hairy tongue for several years. When I finally got off my beta blocker, it all went away and I once again have a healthy mouth. Not one of my docs ever questioned the effects that the beta blocker might have on my dry/weird mouth symptoms. Its so good to have spit back!

CA Gov. Brown Signs SB 1172 Protecting California's Youth
September 30, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Charlie Joughin, HRC Press Secretary
Late last night, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law SB 1172, a bill that will put an end to dangerous and disproved efforts designed to change a young person's sexual orientation or gender expression that have proven to inflict great emotional harm.
We are grateful to Gov. Brown for his leadership by standing with California's children. LGBT youth will now be protected from a practice that has been proven to have drastically negative effects on their well-being, but also has been debunked as junk science by all major medical and mental health organizations.
This week nearly 50,000 of you signed our petition urging the Governor to sign the bill. This outpouring of support showed Gov. Brown that we will not tolerate these harmful efforts. We, along with our friends at the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and Equality California (EQCA) will continue our fight against these practices.
This newly signed law is now a model for the country, and our hope is that other states will adopt it in short order to end this child abuse.

Bravo, have to say this is the best analysis on China from the Economist insofar. AS some one coined a new name for China as "CINO", I would argue the reality in China might be not that simple. "State Capitalism" probably is still the best name for the current China.
In any case, the rise of Chins again proved the prowess of Adam Smith's Capitalism. No matter how you name China's system, you probably will not find a major economy which embraces free market system as wholeheartedly as does China.
CHINA today is more capitalist than BRITAIN. No social security or housing benefit in China. No free healthcare or education in China. Only 27 percent of the Chinese GDP related to state expenditure compared with BRITAIN at over 56 percent inc the NHS the worst healthcare provider in Europe. And no politicians fiddling their expenses or politicians afraid to question the war in IRAQ or AFGHANISTAN or IRAN as demanded by ISRAEL. Democracy in Britain? Ask a university student for their opinion....they dont count!
People forget one thing, we made China rich, by wanting/buying products for less. Our greed actually cause this. Of course, we don't want to admit it, as easier to project evil onto others. Now, we don't like the results...
this article is NAIVE and thas me being respectful.......CHINA is a HUGE threat if it controlls strategic industries
At least China is buying not looting & plundering the world as Spanish Empire & British Empire did. Much of European economy is based on slave labor & plunder of other countries resources. Easy money does not last forever.
Since European empires cannot plunder the resources of their colonies & other poor countries so here is another article from Economist in a series of "China Phobic" rants.
Wow for a moment I doubted if I was reading Economist as it turned so positive to China. Umm...something is changing and I hope for good, both in Economist and in perspective about China ;)
It's good if China can invest in, and share in the profits of Western companies. This benefits both sides. However, it's not good for any country to permit companies from China to own controlling stakes in local firms when the Chinese do not allow other people to own controlling stakes in their companies.
Given the US dollar currency volumes held by China and the negative impact of QE on these holdings it wold make sense for China to be in the process of purchasing 5 percent of the entire market capitalization of the New York and NASDQ exchanges as a hedge.
I agree take the money while its there. Value is quite a different proposition to acquisition price anyway.
There may be a paradigm swift in how the Chinese will run world corporation. In traditional capitalism, the goal of a corporation or a business is to maximize shareholder wealth. This is why most corporate CEO especially the American type are very much into beating earning on a quarter to quarter basis. They care more of making the quick buck through high risk deal makings that would generate short term profit but may have long term implication. American CEO and their core management group are paid obscene amount of salary, bonuses, and stock incentives to keep generating profit. To achieve good top and bottom line numbers will always require the management to make decision that will sometime harm their own employees, suppliers and communities at large. With or without globalization, businesses as small as a flip-flop manufacturers to computer chip conglomerate will find way to reduce their operational costs. Because of this bottom-line mentality (big bottom line means big bonuses) the interest of the corporation will come before the employees and the community. Where would you base your manufacturing or call center if your widget or services can be produced or generated for $1 an hour versus in the developed world for $10 an hour? One can't blame the corporation because if you don't become competitive your company will not survive. That is why American enterprises like IBM, Intel, Apple, Nike, Boeing, just to name a few are so big and profitable as an entity. However, in moving most of the jobs outside of the U.S. just harm the community and the country as a whole. Unfortunately, American corporation large and small are not loyal American stakeholder. They are loyal to their shareholders of whatever nationalities. Can you blame these large and profitable American businesses?
The paradigm change that I mentioned above about Chinese corporation may be a welcome change in this new brave world. The goal of the Chinese corporation is to spread the wealth to the community. Profit is a less of a motive than the stability of the community. With a wealty community, the wealth will trickle up to the corporation. This is in big contrast to the trickle down wealth effect of American capitalism.
Willing buyer, willing seller.
Countries should not have one law governing foreign ownership for all countries. It should be reciprocal. For example, if China does not allow foreign companies buying property in China, then the US should not allow China to buy property in the US.
You write ~What if Chinese state-owned companies run their acquisitions for politics, not profit? ~
This is what East India Company did in India. History can repeat.
There are enough Despotic rulers in the world. So far they were manipulated by West. China may do it for a change.
Chinese enterprises may not play with the rules set up by West. Eventually rules are set by mighty.
China's expansion is a threat to India, the largest democracy in the world. I believe China must be stopped to enlarge India's slice of the pie.
China is doing well its part in globalization.
The USA should do its, putting money into infrastructure and small local business to help overcome the deep pit it is in due to its century old practice of putting money into the military death hungry sector, which produces NO good, NO service, NO benefit to anyone!
gkaraminos - I presume the Dubcek Czech joke was assuming the Chinese would go back to China and then return for the second and third wish? If so they would cross Russia only 5 times not 6 as they would stay in Prague for the last wish.
Is Europe ready for this?
Some guys here need to relax a little...
As it is, my wife is currently in China setting up a small business. While she still needs 9 stamps from all kinds of authorities, her first impressions were quite upbeat - the people she had to deal with, she said, were friendly and efficient, a surprise even to her as a native of the place.
China has come a long way in the last 20 years since I first set foot into the country. I have seen improvements every time I went back, in all kinds of ways.
I can still vividly recall how in the early days I witnessed official arbitrariness every other day - being told where I could or couldn't go, where I could or couldn't stay, whether I was lucky to get a sleeper ticket or not... The first word that I learned in Chinese was "Meiyou!" which looking at the face over the counter either meant "We don't have it."/"You can't have it."/"Get lost!"
Some people here don't seem to appreciate what a long way China has already come.
And the country and its people still have some way to go, therefore in order to integrate China further into a future planetary civilization beyond petty borders and nationalities, we need a thinking which transcends narrow nationalism and xenophobia. And this applies not only to critics of China but as much to the Chinese themselves.
We are all in this together...
You must be insane.
It is going to be mandate to transfer "new" technologies to Chinese companies as of 2020.
I wonder what China would do to GM.
Japanese companies quietly moving out of China to other locations.

"Rare earths anyone?"
Ah, the Indian angle eh. Please skip this anti-xx mind set that's no longer in fashion.
Foreign Ministers of India, Russia and China are holding meeting today in Wuhan (China) to work on agenda for closer cooperation. India should move on with others, not sitting here breast beating, (assuming you were speaking for it that you do not).
Clearly clearly, like Greece you are panicking. But, there is no need of that, no worry at all. Chinni, come to sugar daddy, India; we are willing to rush to your help! India shines while the world declines; our prime minister has already pledged $300B US dollars of aid, virtually every single drop of dollars in our coffers. All we need is a few collection of castles on the Yangtze equipped with the splendors of the ancient bamboo armor that stands no chance of a Hindi snake pipe warrior. Or better yet, sell yourself to us for a song, that is, an Internet song. Our saved 5 rupee meals will be splendid enough to fully rescue you after multiplying them by 1.2 billion. This is because India is the world's only super power and its greatest democracy, with the many thousands of flavors of our curries. With Indian democracy, nobody needs to worry, everything can be overcome, it's sunshine everyday, and nothing cannot be achieved. Pray for India, beg our 5 rupee meal middle classes, bow to our super powers. Jai Hind!

I happened into my favorite gun shop today and noticed a keen Winchester 1300 on the used rack.
It was bead blasted and weirdly enough it has a green type coating....told to me that it wasn't duracoat but something similar.
For 399 in cash I walked out with 55 Rounds of Shotshell and the gun. A steal for how well this gun was put together.
Found out that day the Range Officer there who I am buds with actually owned that shotgun....former Marine Officer guy who treats his guns like angels. He traded in this guy for the FN shotgun equivalent which he said is pretty much a supped up Winchester 1300.
All in all I love my new shotgun. Can't wait to shoot it. Pics up soon when I can get good lighting.

Cute Chair
This is a great chair for the price. I love Overstock.com. They have quick and easy delivery. The only concern I had when I opened the box is the nailheads. They are not exactly straight. All in all I really like this chair.Read More
I am so pleased
I am very happy with the chairs being very nice looking and versatile with the color.I have added colored small pillows to make my corner of the room pick up my color that I like to change around with decorating.These were a great find for the price too.Read More
I am really disappointed. I bought this chair based upon several high reviews. I was amazed to find the product to be inferior in most ways - when you sit on it you spring upwards, as the seat has no give what so ever. The seat is hard and very uncomfortable. Rolled arm chairs are suppose to be comfy and great for reading and lounging. You are sitting straight up in this one with such a low back it hardly supports. The sides and back are lumpy due to poor stuffing of inner lining, and the fabric on the chair facing frontward is crinkled in several areas. I was so excited when I received this that I had my apartment service people remove the packaging, and now I have no idea how I would even send it back. Very inferior product. I won't be buying upholstered furniture from overstock again unless I know the manufacturer.Read More
Very disappointing!
This chair was terrible quality and shoddy workmanship.Read More
Very small and hard
Be sure to check the measurements of this chair and compare it something in the size you're looking for. This chair is tiny. My 2 year old fits in it nicely, everyone else looks like a giant when sitting it in. I agree with another reviewer when they said the chair was very hard. You definitely sit on top of the chair instead of in it. It's very uncomfortable. On the other hand, the fabric really is beautiful and I love the overall shape. Just wish it were larger. Note: the bottom cushion cannot be flipped over (it has velcro on the back) so be careful not to stain. Definitely wish I could return it.Read More

Effects of a time varying strong magnetic field on release of cytosolic free Ca2+ from intracellular stores in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells
ABSTRACT This study was made to explain the mechanisms for the effects of exposure to a time varying 1.51 T magnetic field on the intracellular Ca(2+) signaling pathway. The exposure inhibited an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in bovine chromaffin cells induced by addition of bradykinin (BK) to a Ca(2+) free medium. The exposure did not change BK induced production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)). [Ca(2+)](i) was markedly increased in IP(3) loaded cells, and this increase was inhibited by the magnetic field exposure. A similar increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by other drugs, which stimulated Ca(2+) release from intracellular Ca(2+) stores, was again inhibited by the same exposure. However, transmembrane Ca(2+) fluxes caused in the presence of thapsigargin were not inhibited by the magnetic field exposure in a Ca(2+) containing medium. Inhibition of the BK induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by the exposure for 30 min was mostly recovered 1 h after exposure ended. Our results reveal that the magnetic field exposure inhibits Ca(2+) release from intracellular Ca(2+) stores, but that BK bindings to BK receptors of the cell membrane and intracellular inositol IP(3) production are not influenced.

Article: Neuropathology and behavioral impairments after bilateral global ischemia surgery and exposure to static magnetic field: Evidence in the motor cortex, the hippocampal CA1 region and the neostriatum[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Purpose: Evaluate the effects of continuous magnetic field stimulation after four days of global encephalic ischemia on motor behavior and brain morphology in gerbils. Material and methods: Sixty Mongolian gerbils were divided into five groups: control (CG), sham (SG), ischemia (IG), ischemia north (INPG) and south (ISPG) pole. Experimental animals underwent bilateral occlusion of the carotid artery. In groups with magnetic stimulation, a 3200 gauss magnet was fixed to the skull. After brain perfusion, coronal sections of the striatum, motor cortex (M1) and CA1 area of the hippocampus (CA1) were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Results: In the open field test (OF) we observed an increase in crossing in the IG compared to the CG, INPG and ISPG (F=20.19), and a reduction in the time spent on the Rota-rod test (RR) with the IG compared to CG, IPNG and ISPG (F=17.59). Morphometric analysis revealed a reduction in the density of the neurons in the CA1, in the number of M1 and striatal neurons in the IG compared to the CG, INPG and ISPG. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate a potential therapeutic application of static magnetic fields for the preservation of motor behavior and neurons in regions analyzed after global cerebral ischemia.International Journal of Radiation Biology 03/2013; 89(8).

So it's that time of year again. I need to aerate the lawn and contacted a few companies to see what they would charge to do it. Well $200-250 is the answer! I could buy a damn aerator for that! I also looked into renting, but since I don't have a truck, I'd have to pay them to deliver and pick it up, in addition to the rental fee, so after two years of that, I may as well have bought one anyway. So that's what I've decided to do. I'm thinking a tow-behind plug aerator is my best option. The self-powered ones are way out of my price range. I'd ideally like to keep the price as low as possible, so that's where my question comes in. Can anyone recommend a good/durable/inexpensive tow-behind plug/core aerator. I've done some research online but it seems like it's a crap shoot, with some falling apart quickly, and others providing years of service.
Thanks in advance!
I'm too lazy and have too many beers going to keep updating this!
Well, I think I'm going to pull the trigger today, since I need to do it soon. I guess I'll just roll the dice and choose whichever one looks the best in my price range.
Cheap you say? How's $13?
This is something I'm planning on doing this fall as well. How much is it to rent the aerators?

Master and Commander
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Master and Commander is one of Russell Crowe's best performances. You are taken back to a time when the seas were full of danger. He is an excellent Commander as he takes charge of a rather young crew. They become experienced seaman fast. It is a wonderful story with a brilliant portrayal by Russell Crowe. The battle scenes are especially impressive.
I disagree with one of the comments, and say this is also a "chick flick", if the "chicks" are interested in history, good stories, and men, the sea, and men at sea. Great movie, thrilling maneuvers and strategy. This "chick" loves the ships and characters and I always wonder how on earth do they rehearse and film such scenes as the storm and the battles. Guess I'll have to read the book about the making of it.
I know some may disagree, but to me, this is not only the best film starring Russell Crowe but it is also one of his best performances. Then again, I'm guy who loves sea movies. There's no accounting for taste, but if you're in the mood for a gripping sea going adventure, join Captain "Lucky Jack" aboard the HMS Surprise and enjoy!
Just to add a comment first to one below. This is not just a guys film. I'm female andThis has been and continues to be my favorite film of all time. I do have a particular love for the sea and I can watch in again and again and always see something different. Peter Weir is an incredible director and you should really see everything made by him. He explores the theme of man (usually male figures) and the world. What I especially love about this film is how many themes of humaness it studies, and explores. On a ship you have an entire society getting along (or not -- mutiny!) and in this case there are ranks of respect, there are friendships and foes. This film's attention to detail and realness (very little cgi I believe) adds to every scene. You are litterly gripping your seat wondering what's next. The relationship between the captain and the doctor , played by Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany is one of the best on screen peformances between two actors I have ever seen. And yes the soundtract is marvelous.
This movie was a welcome change for me in these times of computer generated this, that and the other... Don't get me wrong - that technology is terrific, and it does have its place... but this was... human. These sailors' vintage nautical lives were... captivating (albeit incredibly trying and difficult). I guess I'm envious. This 'David vs. Goliath' (brains vs. braun) tale was well written, and Russell Crowe is at his best. He was born for this role. Good musical score, also. Great flick.
Crowe the Great Master and Commander........though he is acting to be.
This movie is absolutely amazing for audio freaks and should be played on your HOMETHEATER!! The scene titled "the attack!" is something you'll play over and over again. The sounds of the cannons firing from the ship in the fog and hitting "The HMS Surprise" is simply AWESOME!!! Hearing the ship being torn apart by cannon balls while listening to men running around on your surround speakers will have you ducking and running for cover. The sound designers did an excellent job making this film "Sound Freak" approved!!! And that's just the start of many scenes with great sounds. This movie also has a very good story that will keep you into the movie and cheering for them in the end. Of course it's in my collection and i recommend it!!! 5stars!!!! Amazing sounds and great story. Two fish filet sandwiches with tomatoes,lettuce,mayo,pickels and coke.
I'm not familiar with the Patrick O'Brien novel that this movie is based off of. Still, it seems to be a solid portrayal of life at sea during the time period in which it is set and the cast is quite solid.
Great movie. I wonder why they don't make more movies where the English lose. Being Americans I think a picture about the English losing would sell very well here. Like WW2 without the Americans. Cool movie though.
Exciting and almost painfully realistic. It irks me the opposing warship was changed from American to French -- quel cop-out. On the other hand, I enjoyed watching Paul Bettany play in the sand with tortoises.
