Luke Joeckel starts strong at RT
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars offensive tackle Luke Joeckel is going through an awkward stage.
His hand placement, foot stagger and set balance seem strange -- all part of his transition from left to right tackle.
He might feel a bit off, but he looks just fine.
AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
Joeckel has been downright dominant through two days of rookie minicamp, showing exactly why the Jaguars selected him with the second overall pick in last week's NFL draft.
He hasn't allowed a sack or even a pressure in team drills. It shouldn't be much of a surprise because he's going against undrafted rookies and tryout players. But it's surely a good start for a former Texas A&M standout, playing a somewhat different position for the first time in years.
"It's feeling a lot better than I thought it would," Joeckel said following another rain-soaked practice Saturday. "My set felt a lot cleaner today and my first step felt a little bit faster today. It's going to be a process, but it's moving along pretty well."
The Jaguars already have Joeckel locked into a starting role this fall, with hopes that he will help solidify an offensive line that allowed 50 sacks last season.
Coaches and front-office personnel believe an improved line will allow them to more accurately evaluate quarterback Blaine Gabbert, whose first two years were filled with team turmoil and key injuries.
Adding Joeckel to a line that's getting starting guards Uche Nwaneri and Will Rackley back from injuries should make the Jaguars more functional than they've been the last two seasons.
Joeckel allowed just two sacks over his final two seasons with the Aggies, and for months after the season, was widely projected as the top draft pick. Kansas City, though, opted to take Central Michigan's Eric Fisher with the No. 1 choice.
Joeckel was admittedly disappointed, but he quickly put those feelings aside after going second to Jacksonville.
He also embraced the move to right tackle.
"I want to get on the field," he said. "I want to help my team win football games, whatever position it might be. If they wanted me to go play guard, I'd go play guard. I definitely would love to be a left tackle in the future, but whatever gets me on the field is what I'd do."
So far, the results have been positive.
"He has excellent movement skills, great balance, he's a very smart kid," offensive line coach George Yarno said. "He's working hard. He's going to get better fast. He's competitive. Love what I've seen so far.
"He's so smooth, a fluid mover. He has great, natural balance. His lower body has a lot of power in it. He has a low center of gravity. He has all those things you look for in a tackle, especially. I'm really excited to get to work with him."
The real test will come when Joeckel lines up against Jaguars veterans Jason Babin and Jeremy Mincey during organized team activities later this month. Maybe even more telling will be his first days in full pads, when coaches and teammates will get a better feel for his physicality and toughness.
"He's right on track," coach Gus Bradley said. "Now he just needs to get more and more reps. It'll probably take him a little bit of time on the right side, but he will get it. You see he's such a professional already with handling it that he will get there."
Equally challenging for Joeckel has been dealing with his newfound stardom. After the draft, he returned to College Station, Texas, and was mobbed for autographs and pictures around town.
"It was pretty crazy," he said. "An offensive lineman finally gets his face on TV and now you're getting recognized. It's not a bad thing. It was very cool. I was getting stared at before because I was so large. But now I'm getting stared at because my face was on TV. It's a little different."

Who makes a good FREE software firewall? One that also uses little resources if possible. Thank-You
Sorry to burst your bubble,but ZA is one of the worse rated firewalls on the Net. When I used it 12 years ago I found that it allowed server rights to all apps by default ...........hope they've changed that.
quote: If you are a computer genius and know everything there is to know about the internet and computer security, why then we should just go with your suggestions and be done with it.
1 recommendation
Software firewalls are great for monitoring what programs and os parts want to call out. Being able to see these details and block accordingly is why I use a software firewall.
»www.binisoft.org/wfc.phpProbably not for you if you are using Windows XP. This builds upon the existing firewall found in Vista, 7, 8.
The firewall will not intercept an outbound request but rather will deny it and will generate an alert.
Why bother when PC Tools Firewall plus works like a firewall, looks like a firewall.....
"And you don't consider denying a transmission to be intercepting it?"No, denying a transmission is not the same with intercepting it, wait for user decision and proceed accordingly.All Win7 firewall "notifiers" are based on this idea, but a real firewall will work differently.
quote:Default DenyThe recommended practice when setting up a firewall is to take a "default deny" approach. That is, to deny everything and then selectively allow certain traffic through the firewall. This approach is recommended because it errs on the side of caution and also makes writing a ruleset easier.»www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/filter.ht ··· #defdeny

Mashpee Wampanoag, tribe at 1st Thanksgiving, is recognized
The ancestors of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe were at the area where Plymouth was founded long before the Pilgrims arrived, but their population was nearly wiped out by war and disease.
The roughly 1,500 members of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe learned last March that the Bureau of Indian Affairs had given their bid preliminary approval. Elders and other members gathered Thursday at their tribal seat in anticipation of the bureau's phone call announcing the latest decision...
In September, Mashpee town officials endorsed the request after the tribe agreed not to build a casino on Cape Cod or try to use the courts to take over private land. The tribe has been open about its desire to build a casino outside tribal lands, if Massachusetts alters its laws to permit it.
After the Pilgrims arrived in 1620, members of the Mashpee tribe dined with the English settlers at the first Thanksgiving. The harmony, though, gave way to a brief period of bloody war.

The folks at Berkeley Plantation in Va. will argue that in Mass., it was not the first Thanksgiving. They say it was at their site, prior to the more famous Mass. one by over 1 year.
Their website states:
"The first Thanksgiving occurred when Captain John Woodlief led the newly arrived English colonists to a grassy slope along the James River and instructed them to drop to their knees and pray in thanks for a safe arrival to the New World.
On this day, Dec. 4, 1619, these 38 men from Berkeley Parish in England were given the instructions:
"Wee ordaine that the day of our ships arrivall at the place assigned for plantacon in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually keept holy as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God."
This saying is now carved on a brick gazebo, where it is believed that Woodlief knelt down beside the James River."

What position do you sleep in?
Different positions have different meanings and shows what kind of person you are. I sleep in the fetal, yearner and freefall position. Fetal... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I was going to say naked until I reread the question.I used to sleep in a twisted position due to an accident when I was a kid. I would lay on my back and my lower half would be twisted so my knees were facing down. I sleep on my side only in the fetal position if I'm really cold. I don't sprawl out since I have a cat and might kick her off. Sometimes I sleep in the coffin position (on my back with my hands folded on my chest).
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 14
Yearner almost exclusively, albeit with a pillow between my arms. (As someone else said, "hugging a pillow".) Sometimes I have a pillow between my legs, or I'll just shift one leg forward. I can't stand the feeling of knees touching, or the angle required of the shoulders with nothing between your arms.
A combination of Fetal and Freefall. I'm on my stomach with my arms under me and my waist turned to the side with my knees bent way up.Sometimes Soldier if my legs are soreAnd in the link it's called wanker you changed it why?
that wanker link wasan accident lol, I didn`t realize till afterI sleep like the first one you described.
I fall asleep with my legs curled up and I'm holding onto my pillow or have my arms beside me. When I wake up, I'm a either a bit more straightened out but still have my legs curled, or I'm laying on my back or side with my covers all weirder up, a pillow kicked onto the floor, and just super comfortable.So you decide which one I am. I'd say most describe me at some point besides the Log position. That sounds too rigid to be comfortable.
So you fall asleep in the fetal/yearner position. One of those. :)
Probably so, because I'm a baller
Fetal.. In a tiny ball so my face is pretty close to knees
y do I get rated down I am going to cry now bye

Haha, I don't understand why a person would down you for that. "I don't like the way this guy sleeps... I"m gonna disagree with his answer."Haha... sorry, just makes me wonder what some people are thinking!

So we all knew it was coming; like Iain Banks we'd known he was seriously ill and it was only a matter of time, but it was still a shock to hear the news of Terry Pratchett's death at the age of 66.
Terry Pratchett was the most significant fantasy author of the past thirty years, certainly from a British perspective. Nobody other than perhaps Tolkien has cast a longer shadow over the genre, and Pratchett has produced a huge body of work. He's crossed over to the mainstream with a readership well beyond the confines of science fiction and fantasy's usual audience, while remaining hugely revered within fandom. The blurb of his books used to say he was sometimes accused of writing literature. That's because he did. Although the majority of his books were comedies, Pratchett fiercely rejected the idea that comic was the opposite of serious. He could and did tackle many weighty subjects, and brought them to an audience Serious Literature could not hope to reach.
The vast majority of his comic fantasies took place in the Discworld, a vast flat disc on the back of four elephants on the back a giant turtle. His fantasy world was a mirror held up to our own; like much classic SF this enabled him to explore real-world issues from a position slightly removed. He tackled politics, economics, organised religion, race and gender, and did it without the preachiness of many a lesser author. He populated his world with so many memorable characters; Sam Vimes, unique as a comic policeman who's actually competent, the witches Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, Moist von Lipwig, the convicted conman turned nationalised industry boss, and Death, the 'anthropomorphic personification' Pratchett managed to make into a sympathetic three-dimensional character.
Pratchett's insights into human nature make his work valuable to all sorts of professions. Of the tributes I've seen online, Mike Talks has suggested some of his books are a must read for any tester just to challenge them, and to expand their minds. And Rev. Rachel Mann has not only named Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg as inspirational characters, but suggests that "Equal Rites" and "Small Gods" should be required reading for anyone wanting to enter the priesthood.
If you haven't read any Pratchett, you need to. If you're not an avid fantasy fan I would recommend you avoid the first couple of Discworld novels starring the failed wizard Rincewind. "The Colour of Magic" and "The Light Fantastic" are picaresque journeys parodying corny fantasy clichés, and won't work as well if you're not familiar with the works being parodied. Start instead with something like "Guards! Guards!" or "Wyrd Sisters", which introduce you to Sam Vimes and the witches.
And now he has met one of his best characters. I'll let his Twitter feed have the last word.

mutant foxglove
sorry no pic, but my foxglove this year is doing something strange. The top flowers have fused into one giant campanula looking flower. I have never seen them do that- is it a virus or something caused by the unusually hot weather? Check your foxgloves!
noticklish, I remember having that happen a couple of years ago. I thought it was a particular variety. I had started them from seed given to me so I wasn't sure. I have a photo that only shows it beginning to open, but see if yours looks anything like this.....
I found some info here under freaky foxglove on someone's blog.
I just bought three young foxglove plants for my garden on Long Island. As they have grown, I noticed that one looks normal, with separate stalks and buds forming along the length of them. The other two, however, have all the stalks fused together into one hard band. The flower buds look squashed and strange, am wondering what will happen if/when they bloom!

The present invention relates generally to closed system urinary drainage bags of the type conventionally used in hospital environments where it is frequently necessary to collect urine from patients. Such urine drainage bags are routinely used by post-operative patients as well as those with urological disorders. In use, the patient is catheterized and the catheter then connected to the drainage bag through a length of plastic tubing. The bag is normally supported below the level of the patient either from a bed rail or other support and the urine drains by gravity from the patient through the catheter, the tubing and then into a bag via a drip chamber. The bag may be emptied from time to time by means of an outlet tube which is normally closed to prevent leakage. The tube may discharge its contents into any convenient receptacle and then the outlet tube is clamped and the bag reused for the same patient. More specifically, the invention herein resides in a specific construction of the outlet tube for such a urine bag to prevent or eliminate build up and migration of bacteria through the outlet tube into the bag. The invention also contemplates a novel method for elimination or reduction of such bacteria in the outlet section or tube.
The catheterized urinary track is one of the most common sites of hospital-acquired infection and in fact accounts for almost thirty percent of such infections. Significant improvements in the prevention of catheter associated infection has been by use of what are known as closed sterile drainage systems. Despite these advances, still over twenty percent of patients with indwelling catheters continue to acquire urinary infections. See Garibaldi et al, New England J. Med., 291:215-219, 1974. Urine collection bags must be emptied at frequent intervals usually at least once every shift and the removal of bacterially contaminated urine can lead to the spread of urine infection. It is even possible for a patient in the same ward or room shared with a catheterized patient to acquire the infection. In order to minimize cross-contamination, the collected urine must be maintained in sterile condition during the collection period, even when the urine has a high bacterial count when it enters the drainage bag.
Despite the use of the most careful aseptic techniques almost fifty percent of catheterized patients develop an infection when the catheter is in place for twenty-four hours and approximately ninety-eight percent or even more develop an infection of after four days of use of such catheters. This of course is quite harmful to the patient and subjects them to the risk of cystitis and life threatening septicemia. Arch. Internal Med., Vol. 110:703-711 (1962) and Lancet, Vol. 1, 310-312 (1960). The above-noted infections occur due to many circumstances. These include prolonged use of indwelling Foley-type catheters which are often accompanied by absence of sterile insertion and maintenance techniques; having the catheter connected to clean but not sterilized drainage collection containers; and others. The presence of urinary pathogens in the container which multiply and enter the urinary track through the ascending catheter which is a major pathway of infection is quite important. Various attempts have been made to reduce the migration of bacteria through the closed system including the bag, the drip chamber and the tubing connected to the catheter.
The patent to Jinkens et al, No. 3,332,442 employs a connector between a catheter and a urine drainage bag for preventing movement of bacteria from the bag to the patient. The three patents of Langston et al, Nos. 4,236,517; 4,193,403; and 4,241,733 show a dispensing device which releases paraformaldehyde to control the multiplication of pathogens and prevent migration in catheters. Shaffer U.S. Pat. No. 4,233,263, teaches adding of hydrogen peroxide solution periodically to a urine bag for prevention of bacterial growth.
Other attempts have been made to provide a one way inlet valve into the urine bag to prevent upward migration. Note Overment U.S. Pat. No. 3,312,221 and Leibinsohn 4,232,677.
Other attempts have been made to treat the catheter itself with an antibacterial substance. Note U.S. Pat. No. 3,598,127 and the Shepard et al patent Nos. 3,566,874 and 3,695,921 which relate to an antibiotic material in a hydrophilic catheter coating.
In normal use of the conventional urinary drainage bag, transmission of infection via the outlet drainage tube is of major concern. In this invention an antimicrobial dispensing system which may allow a timed released action to a specific area of the outlet drainage tube is a method of reducing infections at this site. The invention includes an encapsulated glass ampule which may be filled with an appropriate antimicrobial substance. The ampule may be covered with a fabric mesh or someother porous membrane which is then inserted into the outlet drainage tube which itself has been treated with a hydrophilic coating to absorb the antimicrobial substance. Upon breaking of the ampule by pinching the outlet tube the antimicrobial substance will be absorbed into the fabric of the ampule and ultimately into the hydrophilic coating of the outlet tube.
The purpose of this invention is to prevent organisms from entering urinary drainage bag systems via an opening to the outside atmosphere. It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a specially coated outlet tube for a drainage bag and a carrier for an antimicrobial substance which may be activated prior to use of the device to prevent or at least reduce bacterial migration from the atmosphere into the outlet tube.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a new method for preventing organisms from entering urinary drainage bags via the outlet tube. A further object of the invention is to provide a new urine drainage bag and outlet tube system and a special dispensing device in the outlet tube for preventing the multiplication and control of the migration of pathogens from the atmosphere into the bag through the drainage tube. Another object of the invention is to provide a specific carrier in the form of a frangible ampule containing antimicrobial substances that may be transfered to a hydrophilic coating on the interior walls of a drainage bag outlet tube.
Various other objects and advantages of my invention will be readily apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings in which an exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional urine drainage bag and showing the outlet tube in broken apart fashion.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross section of the outlet tube taken along the lines 2--2 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is an elevation of a typical covered glass ampule used in the outlet tube.
Referring now to the drawings, a conventional closed system urine drainage bag is shown generally at 10 and is formed by peripherally heat sealing or otherwise securing a pair of flat vinyl or PVC sheets. The bag is provided with an inlet 11 adjacent the top thereof for reception of a conventional drip chamber 12 and its associated tubing 13 which connects to a catheter which in turn is inserted in the urethral canal of the patient. An air vent and bacterial filter 14 is conventionally provided on one face of the bag.
The bag also includes a drain 15 terminating in an outlet tube or conduit 16 which may be formed of latex or any other suitable material, and which may be clamped off when not in use in a well known manner by means of the spring pinch clamp or valve 17 which is received about the outlet tube. The free end of the outlet is received in a protective housing 18 heat sealed to one face of the urine drainage bag.
The interior surface of outlet tube 16 is coated with a hydrophilic material 20 that is capable of absorbing and also of receiving bactericidal substances. Various hydrophilic coatings may be used and the art teaches means for binding hydrophilic polymers to rubber. Note for example Shepherd U.S. Pat. No. 3,695,921.
A preferred coating of hydrophilic acrylate and methacrylate polymer may be used. This is normally applied by dipping the catheter in a casting syrup of the monomer or partially polymerized monomer and then completing the polymerization.
The hydrophilic monomer used may be a hydroxy lower alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, hydroxy lower alkoxy lower alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, as for example 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, diethylene glycol monomethacrylate, diethylene glycol monoacrylate, 2-hydroxy propyl acrylate, 2-hydroxy propyl methacrylate, 3-hydroxy propyl acrylate, 3-hydroxy propyl methacrylate, or dipropylene glycol monomethacrylate. Other compositions might also be employed for this purpose as desired.
The specific antimicrobial substance or bactericidal material is left to the choice of the manufacturer however such substance must readily adhere to the hydrophilic coating which in turn will absorb the substance. It has been found that a strong iodine solution or Lugols solution will work in this manner. Among other agents that could be used are mercurial compounds, sulfur compounds, broad spectrum antiobiotics, hydrogen peroxide, halogen complexes, betadyne, and many other substances known to have antiobiotic or biocidal properties.
The bactericidal substance is conveniently carried prior to use in a frangible ampule shown at 25 which includes a glass capsule 26 which is enclosed within a fabric mesh cover 27 having opposed end portions 28.
In use, the ampule is inserted within the free end of the outlet tube 16 as shown in FIG. 1. The ampule may be retained in the outlet tube until the bag is ready for use. At this time, the ampule is crushed to release the bacteristatic or antimicrobial substance which will then adhere to the hydrophilic coating of the outlet tube. The coating will absorb the material and release the substance to maintain a sterile pathway and thus eliminate chances of organisms entering the system when the system is open for drainage or irrigation purposes. The end 28 of the ampule may be manually grasped and the ampule removed or alternatively the capsule may be discarded when the first emptying of the drainage bag occurs. Removal of the ampule of course will include all fragments of the glass along with any excess antimicrobial substance.
It will be noted that the ampule may be inserted during normal manufacturing conditions and there will be no loss of the antimicrobial properties since the substance is totally sealed within the glass capsule 26. The capsule may be broken by merely pinching the outlet tube adjacent to the ampule which will cause release of the contents thereof in a known manner.
Activation in the manner described above results in complete protection of the outlet tube agaist migration of bacteria and other organisms from the outside of the closed system.

TUSCALOOSA, AL - APRIL 17: Coach Nick Saban of the Alabama Crimson Tide watches his team during the Alabama spring game at Bryant Denny Stadium on April 17, 2010 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (Photo by Dave Martin/Getty Images)
Alabama coach Nick Saban says there's plenty of room for improvement even if the issues aren't reflected on the scoreboard. He'll have a hard time convincing opponents. The top-ranked Crimson Tide has outscored its opponents 128-14 and scored 94 points since the defense last gave up a point, with 14 seconds left in the third quarter in the opener against Michigan. The Tide has forced 12 turnovers and committed just one. Not good enough for Saban, whose team hosts 50-point underdog Florida Atlantic on Saturday. Saban says, ''If you demand more of yourselves, you get more.'' Alabama will likely be double-digit favorites for every game until the BCS championship rematch at No. 2 LSU on Nov. 3. Receiver Christion Jones says the Tide plays to ''Alabama's standard'' whoever they're facing

2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Well, I am 16 years old and my dad
treaded his f350 dually in for me to
get my car! I love my car it has lots
of room and everything!

Got this car for a song 8999 after all
the rebates and GM cash. Nice CD,
tilt, etc. I have a Ford F150 Super
Crew that is to nice to put so many
miles on and the mpg is not so great.
So I get the Cavalier and get 34 hwy 29
city. Delighted with the mpg. The car
is kinda nice looking for the price. I
added 16" wheels and 205 55 tires which
made a huge dif. in the way it looks.
Shifting is easy, ride is good, engine
is above average. The interior is a
bit cheap but so ways the price. These
cars don't hold their value but if you
plan on driving it for 3yrs or more so
what. I look at it as a disposable
car, kinda like a term life policy.

I bought this car expecting it to be a
gutless stock 4 cylinder. I put a
spintech exhaust on it and a K&N
filtercharger. the only cars that
have beaten me were other cavaliers. My
best story is of a 96 honda civic with
a turbo and NOS. we did the first run
and i was expecting to be beaten ...he
missed second and i was gone.....then
the second run he said i was finished
so we lined up again i got a little
better start ..he missed second again
but found it fast he was starting to
pull up to me hit third i heard a
terrible noise and he dropped back and
i won again....later i found out he
fried his tranny and had to drive home
in second gear...

For the $9k I paid for the car, I
wasn't expecting anything fantastic.
For the most part, I was right. I've
taken it back to have the horn fixed,
along with the trunk lock. A tail light
went out after 3 months. On occasion,
the RPM's will drop to below 500 and
come back up, and sometimes stalls, so
I now have a new reason to take it in
to the dealership again. When you put
down the sun visors, they usually hit
the rear view mirror. Installing an
aftermarket stereo is VERY time
consuming, as the whole dash must be
removed. It's a good thing they're
dropping the line in 2005. GM needs a
new design.

Excelent bargin, This was my fisrt
American car and I love. I have always
bought imports in the past . But that

after this car. I feel imports are
overpriced and overrated. I can't wait

2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe LS 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
My car is primarily used for
vacations, weekend trips, shopping
etc, not commuting to work. With the
rebate the total cost on my car ended
up being between $13-14,000. For this
amount of money I think I got a great
deal on a reliable vehicle. I've had
no engine or mechanical problems with
the car in the five months I've had
it. But, the seats need to be more
comfortable. My lower back hurts after
a two hour drive. Also, the viser
moves the rear-view mirror every time
you put it down. That's a pain. I love
the styling of the car outside and the
power windows and locks. I think the
backseat is nicely spacious for a
coupe. Great stereo and air

I previously owned a 93 Cavalier. I had
great luck with the car. I owned it for
6 years and the worst thing that went
wrong was the head gasket... but hey it
was ten years old. I found it to be a
reliable dependable car so I decided to
purchase a newer model.

This wasn't my idea to get this car.
My parents bought it for me and i wish
they hadn't. I've been to the
dealership 3 times since i've had it
and i only have 7,000 miles on it.
Both back tail lights went out. MY
Trac Light go off everytime i hit the
slightest bump. Oh and stopping in the
snow or rain is a joke. It feels like
it won't stop and thats just scary.

We arrived in Archbold four years ago, and immediately joined Sauder Village. Our kids have now grown up with The Village and continue to want to go again and again. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable, and there is a huge variety of special programs in addition to the village itself which provides more to discover each visit. We enjoy the train and the buggy rides nearly every time. We used to drive from two hours away to spend the day. Now there is even more to see. You won't want to miss the opportunity to come to Sauder Village!

BWW Review: Three's Company in Garden Theatre's BOEING BOEING
by Matt Tamanini - Mar 31, 2015
There is a lot wrong with the central conceit of Marc Camoletti's farce BOEING BOEING, playing at the Garden Theatre through April 4th. Set in Paris in 1963, Bernard, an insatiable womanizer (likely with undiagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder) has figured out that the best way to reap the benefits of having three live-in fiancees without any of them knowing about each other is to only propose to flight attendants on conflicting schedules. From there, the jokes nearly write themselves as schedules change and weather delays departures. Directed by Keith Smith, the Garden Theatre's six-person cast bounces through the madcap comedy with an abundant joy, despite all of the outdated gender politics. BOEING BOEING, translated from the original French by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans, stands up well as a time-capsule from a different time with a different perspective, and if you can get past the show's uncomfortable premise, you are sure to enjoy its charming cast and taut direction.

BWW Reviews: The Hilarious '60s Romantic Farce BOEING BOEING is Perfectly Executed by Torch Theater
by Jill Schafer - Mar 20, 2015
BOEING BOEING is the perfect screwball comedy. Though this tale of an American playboy in Paris with three 'air hostess' fiances was a hit in France, the English translation flopped on Broadway in 1965. But the revival over 40 years later was a hit and spurred a flood of regional productions around the country. Fortunately for Twin Cities theater-goers, Torch Theater chose it as one of it's 2015 shows at the Minneapolis Theatre Garage. With a stellar cast, spot on direction, and a swinging '60s vibe created by set, costumes, and music, it's practically perfect in every way (to quote that other big show). I can't remember the last time I laughed so much at the theater! (more...)

There is no one clear reason why some people develop bowel cancer while others do not, but we do know that bowel cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer. In fact, according to the World Cancer Research Fund, scientists estimate that about half of all bowel cancer cases in the UK – over 20,000 new cases a year – could be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices. You can read more about the statistics here.
You can reduce your personal risk of developing cancer by these lifestyle choices:
Know what the symptoms of bowel cancer are and go to your GP if you recognise any unexpected changes that have lasted at least 3 weeks.
Tobacco contains many toxins which have a negative effect on your health and significantly increase your risk of cancer. Long-term smokers are more likely than non-smokers to develop bowel cancer.
The evidence that being overweight increases the risk of cancer is stronger now than ever before. After not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight is the most important thing you can do for cancer prevention.
Bowel cancer has been linked to a heavy intake of alcohol. The more you cut down, the more you reduce your risk.
Try to do at least half an hour of moderate physical activity at least 5 times a week. Being physically active uses up extra calories and helps you avoid gaining weight. It also helps food to move through your digestive system more quickly.
Make sure you eat plenty of dietary fibre from whole grains, seeds, fruit and vegetables, and drink plenty of water. Fibre helps to move waste quickly through your digestive system. Fruit and vegetables may protect against cancer, because they contain vitamins and minerals which help keep the body healthy and strengthen our immune system. There are more tips on a healthy diet here.
There is strong evidence of a link with bowel cancer from eating red meat (beef, lamb, pork) and processed meats in particular (bacon, ham, salami), so we recommend avoiding these as much as possible. Fish and poultry are good alternatives to red meat, as are soya and quorn.
NHS Choices provides further information on the prevention of bowel cancer.

what light over spiral stairs?
Hi all. Any suggestions for a light/chandy over spiral stairs? They are in a corner of a great room, going down. Black. I'd like something architectural. Style of great room is contemporary. At this point, this is the only non-recessed light. There likely will be wall sconces and freestanding lights at some point, but for now everything is a blank slate, which is completely daunting. Thanks for any ideas. Lisa
Depending on the amount of headroom you have, a pendant would be nice. It would have to be scaled for the space. That is, not too big or too small--in line with the scale of the staircase. Check out Buylight for some really nice, highly discounted fixtures from Europe. Traditional and modern.
Here is a link that might be useful: BuyLight
How about an LED rope light runing along under the bannister?

"Stop flirting with me"
Talking to cam girls can often be a little bit mystifying, especially if you're new to the cam site scene. It's nothing like approaching the girls that you want to hook up with in bars and clubs, or at least it doesn't seem like it is. It's not like approaching a cute girl in a coffee shop or a bookstore, either. The main difference is that you're talking to a woman who's fully willing and even expecting to take her clothes off for you in exchange for money. If you've never spent that much time in gentlemen's clubs, then it can be a bit confusing to try and figure out how you should be interacting with cam girls. Even reading plenty of amateur sex cam site reviews might not really tell you how you should be interacting with cam girls properly, and it's not exactly comforting to realize that you might not be sure how to get a cam girl's attention. However, it's usually really not that hard – you just have to learn not to try too hard.
On that note, there are quite a few lines you may be tempted to bust out with cam girls that they really hate. If you use these lines on cam girls, then chances are that they are not going to be happy with you. You don't want to lose your chances with a cam girl just because you used a line that she didn't like. That's why we're here to help. These are some examples of the types of lines that cam girls hate hearing, and how you can spice them up and change them around to make them acceptable.
"You Look Just Like…"
"One more word and I'll lose my temper"
Telling a cam girl that she looks just like a celebrity or model might seem like a good idea at the time, but it's important to realize that most cam girls do not appreciate this type of compliment. Telling her that she looks just like someone you know is also a very bad idea that could wind up losing you all of your chances with her. It seems flattering, but most cam girls do not want the attention to be taken off of her – and by comparing her to another woman, you're doing exactly that. Plus, you never know what kind of ideas a cam girl might already have about whatever model or actors you're comparing her to. You could wind up mentioning her least favorite person on the planet, and that's obviously not going to gain you any points with her.
If you have to compare her to someone, it's best not to name names. Still, it's just not the best way to go about complimenting a cam girl. Tell her that she looks like she could be a movie star or a model if you must, but don't tell her what model or movie star she reminds you of. She might appreciate it, but it is also highly possible that something you intended as a compliment winds up getting taken as an insult. That's not exactly something you want to deal with, so try to stay away from these sorts of comments.
"You Come Here Often?"
"Why don't you mind your own business?"
It seems harmless and cute to ask her this, but really, most cam girls are not going to like this type of comment. At best, she hears it all the time and she'll roll her eyes and ignore it. At worst, she'll actually take offense since she might feel like you're judging how often she may be performing. Sound unbelievable? We know it does, but then again, we've been on cam sites plenty. It happens more often than you might think, and we're quite sure that cam girls just do not like hearing this. It's kind of along the lines of people saying things like "working hard, or hardly working?" or "I don't see a price tag, so that means it's free, right?" – While it sounds funny to you, just remember that she probably hears similar lines ALL the time. You don't want to let all that time and effort you spent reading reviews of sex cam sites to go to waste just because you fed her a line that you thought was funny.
Instead of giving her a line like this, you may want to focus more on how often you use cam sites. You may want to tell her that you're on cam sites quite often but you've never seen a cam girl as beautiful as her. It takes the negative focus off of her while complimenting her in a way that she might not hear as often as the other compliments you might have in store. It's not a bad way to go about things.
"I Don't Have Any Money, but I'd Really like It if You…"
"Then what are doing here without money?"
Cam girls depend on guys that can actually tip them, so if you come into her room and whine about how you don't have any money and start begging for favorites, you can pretty much guess how she will react. She's not going to really enjoy it if you tell her that you don't have any money but you still want her to do your requests. Some cam girls are going to be okay with doing freebies, but not if you make it a big deal and talk about how you don't have any money to spend on her.
Still, mentioning that you don't have any money to spend on her is obviously not going to win any points with her. You should never tell a cam girl exactly how much money you have or don't have, since you don't want her to turn you away based on how much money you're going to be spending on her. Try to keep your cards closer to your chest.
"If You Were Here with Me, I'd…"
"Don't try to cross your limits"
It's part of the fantasy, sure, but telling a cam girl what you would do to her if you were with her in person isn't really as flattering as you might think. In fact, sometimes it can really border on the creepy line, and that's not an area you want to tread with your cam girl – ever. She could wind up reporting you or asking you to leave, and then all the effort you put into reading reviews of webcam sex sites and finding the best cam girls is all wasted.
You should also avoid flipping it and telling her what you'd do to her if you were there with her. It might seem like a sexy fantasy to you, but some cam girls can really take offense to stuff like this. It's a type of compliment you will want to stay away from entirely if you can help it. Still, if you must bring something like this up, try to focus less on where you'd be. Just tell her what you'd like to do to her if you were together, and don't go into too much detail if she seems uncomfortable about it. You don't want to wind up getting kicked out of her chat room because you creeped her out, so do be careful about what sorts of things you say to her, and how you say them. If you want to see real girls getting it on by pleasing you on the webcam, then check out camsitesguide.ca/top-websites/. Make sure that your chosen site lies in the list of popular sex cam sites listed over here.
