All the talk about chocolate
made me crave some Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge.
I made a big batch. It is so good!
This is the first time in years I had even thought about it.
I made a small batch of chocolate syrup, can't stand the commercial one. It is useful for many things, I like cold coffee and almond milk over icecubes, and adding chocolate syrup makes mocha, and if I want a desert: Greek yogurt with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, yum!
I'll try it, too, esp. b/c I just found a cookie recipe that calls for 1 Tbsp. of cocoa powder and I didn't want to buy a whole can just for 1 Tbsp. I seldom use it and it would sit on the pantry shelf forever. The cocoa syrup recipe gives me a good reason to buy it. Thanks, Lilo.
I love chocolate syrup over ice cream--with a touch of Bailey's Irish Cream added, too. :>)
I agree, mwheel, I also hesitate to buy something that calls for a small amount. But the syrup recipe is worth trying.
For example, I fix Cherries jubilee every couple of years, and I used Brandy and sugar cubes for the flambee. We don't use either in every day life, so they sit in the cupboard.
I'd like to try the syrup and Bailey's Irish Cream over ice cream, but the Bailey bottle would join the brandy bottle on the shelf, along with some other "experiments".
Perhaps I'll look at the "travel sizes" and see what they have there.
I bought the powder, Bailey's Irish Cream (small bottle on sale) and French Vanilla Ice cream Fixed the syrup (yum), and poured it and the cream over the ice cream. Both DH and I really like it.What a treat for a Tuesday morning.
Wg, good for you! You've inspired me! When I go to the store, I'm going to buy the cocoa powder and make the chocolate syrup, also some Bailey's. I usually get a bottle of it for my birthday, and, using just a little over ice cream, it may last six months. However, I didn't get it for my birthday in July, so will buy some for myself. The cookies will have to wait, b/c it's too hot to use the oven.
P.S. We're having our ice cream, tonight, but Tuesday morning sounds good, too. :>)
janis, started it with her post about "All the talk about chocolate".
Her post put a bee in my bonnet, and I had to try the recipes.
Good for you mwheel, that you'll buy something for yourself.
The syrup, cream and ice cream is well worth it. anytime of the day.

In the art of respiration therapy and apparatus, it is well known to employ respiration systems to provide positive and expiration pressure as a therapy for intensive patient care. The effect of such therapy on the pulmonary system is dramatic and beneficial for a variety of disease entities. A valve which can be used in such respiration systems to control positive and expiratory pressure in commonly referred to as a PEEP valve.
In the medical literature, the PEEP valve is defined as a valve which exhibits threshold resistance. That is to say, a threshold resistor should allow no exhalation flow until exhalation pressure equals a predetermined threshold pressure. Above the threshold pressure, the valve should allow exhalation flow rates of up to 200 to 300 liters per minute without any significant increase in pressure drop across the valve. By significant increases is meant an increment exceeding approximately 10% of the threshold resistance value, for example.
Many valve structures known in the prior art are intended to provide control of inhalation and exhalation flow in respiration systems. In particular, the art includes many examples of PEEP valves whose intended function is to provide the desired exhalation threshold resistance as above described. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,954,793 discloses an inhalation/exhalation valve which includes a flexible disk inhalation valve element which is carried on an exhalation valve member to accommodate one way inhalation flow therethrough. The patent also discloses an hourglass shaped spring which biases the exhalation valve closed.
Other documents disclosing spring biased exhalation valve elements, and specifically conical springs for biasing the valve element, include U.S. Pats. Nos. 4,411,285; 2,863,446; 3,088,477; 3,630,197 and 3,276,462.
Among other patent art known to me, U.S. Pat. No. 4,574,797 discloses a second stage regulator for an underwater breathing apparatus which includes a flexible flap-type valve member. U.S. Pat. No. 2,820,469 discloses another combined inhalation/exhalation valve. U.S. Pat. No. 3,799,185 discloses yet another such valve, as does U.S. Pat. No. 4,207,884. Both of these patents appear to disclose a flange or skirt formed on the perimeter of a valve disk element. Other patents pertaining generally to breathing gas flow control include numbers U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,446,859; 2,947,314 and 4,592,384.
In the prior art the desirable performance criteria of a threshold resistor have required that very soft springs be used to preload a valve disk which covers a port that is exposed to the controlled pressure. Such devices generally require a very soft and long-loading spring which has a high ratio of preload deformation to displacement of the valve disk during exhalation flow through the valve. In this manner, the designer is better able to predict the force increment required to allow the disk to open a sufficient distance for the desired exhalation flow rates to occur. However, when one uses such a long, soft spring in a PEEP valve, or even the conventional conical springs, adjustability of the valve threshold pressure over a range useful for clinical application (i.e., approximately 3 to 25 cm H2 O) becomes difficult because the preload deformation of the spring has to be relatively large to achieve the desired range of pressure variation. A shorter conventional spring will tend to be too stiff for use in the range of low operation pressures specified. Preferably, the spring should be very soft at initial valve opening and throughout the desired pressure range, while becoming progressively stiffer in a non-linear manner with incremental opening of the exhalation valve. This can provide for a readily adjustable threshold resistance, and will also permit the valve to reliably maintain the selected threshold resistance throughout the exhalation cycle and for a relatively wide range of exhalation flow rates.
As has been mentioned, it is important that a PEEP valve not only be readily adjustable with a high degree of precision, additionally it should exhibit the performance criterion of pressure or threshold resistance stability. That is, whatever the threshold resistance setting to which the valve has been adjusted, that threshold resistance should be maintained throughout the normal range of exhalation flow rates in order to ensure that a constant, positive end expiratory pressure value will be maintained regardless of the patient's expiratory flow rate.
Although the prior art is replete with valves which are intended to function effectively as PEEP valves, practitioners in the art continue to seek improvements in valve adjustability and operating stability.
The present invention contemplates a novel adjustable PEEP valve wherein a conical spring is utilized to impart the bias needed to establish threshold resistance in the valve. The spring has non-uniform coil density which varies over the length of the spring. An adjustment mechanism such as an adjustment screw cooperates with the spring to provide for selective adjustment of the valve threshold resistance.
The invention also contemplates a moveable exhalation valve element which is biased toward its closed position by the above characterized spring, and which includes an exhalation flow reversing structure which cooperates with the exhalation flow path defined within the valve to impart a reversal of flow direction to the exhalation flow as it passes from the valve exhaust ports. The valve is so structured that this reversal of exhalation flow direction provides for utilization of the hynamic pressure of exhalation effort by the patient to help control operation of the valve and thereby, in cooperation with the novel spring structure, further enhance adjustability and operating stability of the valve.
Other novel aspects of the valve include a provision therein for maintaining breathing gas flow continuously during both inhalation and exhalation portions of the breathing cycle by directing breathing gas flow to the exhalation valve exhaust ports only during the exhalation portion of the breathing cycle. This can result in increased stability of a breathing gas flow supply pressure by reducing the incidence of pressure transients within the gas supply tubing network.
It is therefore one general object of the invention to provide a novel and improved adjustable PEEP valve for use in respiratory therapy.
A more specific object of the invention is to provide a novel PEEP valve with structural improvements for enhanced adjustability and operational stability.
A more specific object of the invention is to provide a PEEP valve with a movable valving element having an exhalation flow reversing structural means, the valve element being biased toward the closed position by a conical coil spring which has a coil density that varies over the length of the spring in a predetermined manner; the spring and the flow reversing structure being effective to provide improved valve operation reliability, adjustability and stability.
These and other objects and further advantages of the invention will be more clearly understood upon consideration of the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectioned side elevation of a valve according to one presently preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an alternative valve structure;
FIG. 3 is a schematic illulstration of a further alternative structure; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary portion of a sectional view similar to FIG. 1 showing an alternative structure.
There is generally indicated at 10 in FIG. 1 a valve comprised of an assembly of body parts including a main valve body 12 fixed coaxially adjacent a breathing gas inlet body portion 14 and a patient supply body portion 16. As is well known, a suitable medical gas supply source 18 is provided to supply medical gas via a delivery conduit 20 to an inlet end 22 of body portion 14. Similarly, a mask 24 or other suitable appliance is connected by means of a conduit 26 to an outlet end 28 of body portion 16 for delivery of the supply gas to a patient (not shown) and to carry exhalation flow from the patient to exhaust ports 50. The valve 10 thus is interposed between supply source 18 and mask 24 to permit inhalation flow and to provide for exhalation flow at a controlled positive expiratory pressure to achieve the beneifts of PEEP therapy for the patient. Inasmuch as the elements above described, insofar as they pertain to PEEP therapy, are well known to those versed in the art and form no part of the instant invention, further detailed description thereof is believed unnecessary for an understanding of the invention.
The body portion 12 is comprised of a generally stepped cylindrical, open ended member of rigid molded plastic construction, for example, which defines a through opening 30. An inhalation end portion 32 of body member 12 accommodates a generally annular mounting flange 34 which cooperates with a mounting flange portion 36 of body member 14 to secure body member 14 coaxially with respect to inhalation end portion 32. Similarly, an exhalation end portion 38 of the body member 12 includes a stepped annulus 40 which cooperates with a mounting flange portion 42 of body member 16 to secure the same coaxially with respect to body member 12. As body members 14 and 16, like body member 12, may be of rigid molded plastic, the assembly thereof into a unified structure as above described may be achieved by such means as a suitable bonding system, a solvent weld bonding agent for example.
The assembly of body elements as above described defines a generally stepped-cylindrical structure having a combined inhalation/exhalation gas flow path 44 extending generally coaxially therein. It will be noted, however, that body member 14 includes a right angle portion 46 which projects laterally of the longitudinal axis X--X of valve 10 and having the open end portion 22. The portion 46 may typically have a manual breathing bag mounted thereon.
Within flange portion 42 there is formed an outlet means as a plurality of exhalation ports 50 which accommodate expiratory flow that passes via mask 24 and conduit 26 into exhalation end 28 of valve 10 thence to the atmosphere, or to a suitable collection facility (not shown) via the ports 50. A valve seat portion 52 of body member 16 extends coaxially into the space 30 defined within body member 12 to provide a valve seat 54 upon which an exhalation valve disc 56 seats under the bias of a spring 59. It will be noted that expiratory flow passes via conduit 26 and within passage 44 over seat 54, whereat its flow direction is reversed as it proceeds to exhalation ports 50. Thus, reversal of expiratory flow direction occurs immediately adjacent to valve disc 56 during patient exhalation. This reversal of flow direction is utilized to impart an increment of operating control to the exhalation valve. To provide the described flow reversal, valve disc 56 is provided with a flow directing means in the form of a depending peripheral skirt portion 58 which projects from valve disc 56 toward ports 50 radially outward thereof. When valve disc 56 is seated upon seat 54, the outermost annular seat 60 of skirt portion 58 may be seated upon flange portion 42 radially outward of ports 50 to seal ports 50 from the peripheral space surrounding skirt 58. Alternatively, a bellows or diaphragm 57 may be employed in lieu of or in addition to annular seat 60 to close the peripheral space radially outward of skirt 58 as shown in FIG. 4.
Referring again to FIG. 1, disc 56 remains thus seated so long as the seating bias of spring 59 is not overcome by patient expiratory effort. Spring 59 comprises an elongated coil spring of generally conical form having its larger diameter turns (e.g. 59') at the end thereof adjacent to valve disk 56 and its smaller diameter turns (e.g. 59") adjacent the opposite end thereof and engaged by a spring engaging assembly 62 of adjustment screw assembly 48. Additionally, as shown spring 59 exhibits a variation of coil density over its length with the greater coil density (coils per inch) being at the large diameter end thereof, and the lesser coil density being at the smaller diameter end thereof.
Spring 59 is supported by engagement thereof between disk 56 and adjustment screw assembly 48, specifically in that assembly 48 includes a threaded insert 64 through which there is passed an elongated threaded adjustment screw 66 which engages adjacent its innermost end the described spring engaging assembly. The assembly 62 in turn comprises a collar member 68 which engages the smaller diameter end 70 of spring 59 and is freely rotatable with respect to a cap member 63 such that adjustment of screw 66 by rotation thereof serves to incrementally compress, or permit longitudinal expansion of, the spring 59 without application of torque thereto.
Valve disk 56 also includes a plurality of inhalation ports 72 disposed within the diameter of disk 56 engaged by seat 54, and a flexible flap valve element 74 affixed centrally of disk 56 to provide one-way flow for inhalation only through ports 72 while precluding reverse flow of exhalation gases therethrough. Flap valve element 74 thus is affixed to the downstream side (with respect to inhalation flow) of disk 56 as by a stud portion 76 thereof which passes through a central opening 78 formed in disk 56 and terminating in an enlarged head portion 80 which secures flap valve 74 with respect to disk 56 as described.
As can be seen from the above description, the valve 10 operates to provide for inhalation flow from gas supply source 18 via conduits 20 and 26 and mask 24 to the patient upon demand by allowing gas flow through inhalation ports 72 and past flap valve 74 with disk 56 seated upon seat 54. Since in this configuration the sealing or seating edge 60 of peripheral skirt 58 also is seated on flange 42, exhalation ports 50 are completely isolated from gas supply flow. Alternatively, diaphragm 57 may be employed in lieu of seat 60 to provide the same function, and additionally to preclude supply flow to exhaust ports 50 when valve disk 56 is lifted (i.e. during exhalation).
During the exhalation phase of a patient's breathing cycle, patient effort creates elevated pressure within conduit 26 and body member 16. The exhalation pressure very quickly exceeds gas supply pressure thus closing flap valve 74 to preclude backflow of exhalation gases toward the gas supply. When the pressure of exhalation effort reaches the established threshold resistance level and overcomes the bias of spring 59, disk 56 is lifted to the position indicated at 56', at which position patient expiration effort and spring bias are equalized.
In the lifted or open position as shown as 56', disk 56 is clear of seat 54 and additionally seat 60 is separated from flange 42. Thus, exhalation flow proceeds around seat 54 and to exhalation ports 50, reversing its flow direction as it goes. Additionally, if diaphragm 57 is not used, gas flowing from supply 18 via conduit 20 and body member 14 has a flow path within space 30 around the exterior periphery of skirt portion 58 and to exhalation ports 50. Without diaphragm 57, exhalation flow is precluded from by-passing exhalation ports 50 and proceeding through the gap between flange 42 and skirt seating surface 60 by means of the supply flow, and the continuing flow of supply gas during exhalation provides improved control over supply side gas pressure.
The spring 59 with its varying diameter and density of coils operates to provide improved adjustability for threshold resistance settings of valve 10, as has been noted. In general, a very soft, large diameter coil spring with a relatively high coil density would be the spring of choice for low level threshold resistance pressures because the magnitude of valve disk movement or displacement from its seat must be relatively large at low threshold resistance pressures to permit the requisite exhalation flow rates. On the other hand, at higher threshold resistance pressures, valve disk movement or displacement is relatively smaller for the same exhalation flow rates, thus calling for application of stiffer spring bias earlier in the displacement of the valve disk.
According to the present invention the disclosed spring, when adjusted for low-level threshold resistance pressure, operates by exposing a relatively larger number of larger diameter coils to the valve disk, and this provides the requisite soft spring resistance for the relatively larger valve disk displacement that is required. As the spring load is adjusted by manipulation of screw 66 to establish higher threshold resistance pressures, the spring 59 tends to close or collapse on itself, with the larger coils bottoming out and becoming inoperative. The smaller coils, which are relatively stiffer, thus provide the biasing action on the valve disk at higher threshold resistance levels. It has been found that the useful range of threshold resistance pressures (e.g. 3 to 25 cm H2 O) may be achieved by utilizing a spring with a ratio of maximum spring coil diameter to a minimum spring coil diameter of approximately 2 to 1 to 2.5 to 1, although it will be understood that higher ratios may be used if higher ranges of threshold resistance are desired. It has also been found that in such a spring the coil density should vary by a ratio of approximately 2 to 1 from one end of the spring to the other. Such a spring, with the spring wire diameter selected to provide the requisite initial softness of response, provides the desired performance as regards operational stability and adjustability of threshold resistance.
The above described technique and structure for reversing exhalation flow direction as it passes seat 54, and the use of disk 56 and skirt portion 58 as reaction surfaces to reverse such flow direction, allows the valve to utilize the dynamic pressure head of exhalation to help achieve low pressure drop after threshold resistance pressure has been reached. As valve disk 56 lifts in response to patient exhalation effort, the dynamic pressure required to reverse exhalation flow direction becomes useful in moving or displacing valve disk 56 to allow higher through flow. More specifically, the pressure drop across the PEEP valve should be essentially constant over a wide range of throughflow rataes. Such performance implies a wide range of movement of the valve disc 56 to accomodate the varying flowrates, which causes the spring to experience a wide range of deflection. In other words, the air pressure must increase some amount to cause the disc to move far enough to accomodate the gas flow.
In this system, the important pressure is the static pressure component of the total pneumatic pressure. On the other hand, the pressure which causes disc movement is comprised of both static and dynamic components.
This invention provides enhanced valve performance because high volumetric exhalation flow translates into high massflow rates as well. By reversing the flow direction, as disclosed, the dynamic pressure component becomes significant at high flowrates and assists the static component in moving the disc against the spring force. In this manner, the static pressure changes are smaller, i.e. the valve performance is better, than would result if the gas were allowed to vent radially rather than being reversed or turned through the 180 degree turn as disclosed.
This aspect of the invention would be beneficial in any PEEP valve design but is more so when used in combination with the above-described adjustable spring. In the disclosed valve, excellent performance has been achieved over a wide range of respiratory pressures.
The novel structural features disclosed hereinabove may of course be employed in other valve configurations than the valve of FIG. 1. For example, there is shown in FIG. 2 a more conventional PEEP arrangement wherein gas supply 18 supplies breathing as via suitable flow conduits to mask 24 for breathing thereof by a patient (not shown). Supply pressure head control and exhalation exhaust both are provided by a valve 102 which is connected to supply 18 and mask 24 in a well known configuration as by a suitable conduit 100. Valve 102 includes an adjustable conical spring which preloads a valve disk having a depending skirt. Either the spring alone, the depending skirt alone, or both operating together enhance valve operation as has been above described with reference to FIG. 1.
In another alternative arrangement, FIG. 3 shows a breathing gas system wherein supply 18 communicates with mask 24 via a conduit 104 having an inline exhaust valve 106 in which an exhaust valve element 108 is movable in response to the pressure differential on opposite sides thereof to open and close exhaust ports 110. A flexible flap check valve element 112 is carried by valve element 108 in much the same manner as flap valve 74 is carried by the valve disk 56 as above described, to permit gas supply flow from supply 18 to mask 24 when valve element 108 is closed. Another valve 114 is connected to conduit 104. Valve 114 includes an adjustable conical spring and valve disk with depending skirt which operates in the manner above described with reference to FIG. 1 to control supply pressure or, more generally, the pressure heading conduit 104. Valve 114 thus also controls the pressure on the supply side of valve 106. This is what controls threshold resistance for valve 106 as pressure behind valve element 108 must be overcome by the patient's exhalation effort before exhalation flow may begin.
In all of the described embodiments, the conical spring and valving element with depending skirt operate to provide enhanced control over threshold exhalation resistance in PEEP type breathing apparatus. Of course, it will be understood that for any embodiment of this invention the outlet ports 50 may be located in alternative locations other than that shown in FIG. 1. That is, the flow reversing effect, and the dynamic pressure benefit thereof as above described, results from the valve disc and seat configuration rather than from the location of the outlet ports 50.
According to the description hereinabove there is provided by the instant invention a novel and improved inhalation/exhalation valve structure for use in respiratory PEEP therapy. The novel valve offers, among other benefits, enhanced consistency of performance, reliability, and ease of adjustment over prior PEEP valves.
Of course, I have contemplated various alternative and modified embodiments of the invention, and such also would certainly occur to others versed in the art, once apprised of my invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be construed as broadly as permitted by the scope of the claims appended hereto.

What i'm asking is Foresight's 3rd strike is supposed to make ALL attacks do 18% more damage for 30 seconds. so does that really stack to all attacks? or is it just for the Deadly Reach attack? I've seen a lot of people do similar things to this. But does it actually work?

Apr 10, 2014: The Impact of Bad Deportation Practices on MigrantsApr 10, 2014: The evening "Angela," a woman in her early thirties, arrived at the shelter for women and children in Nogales, Mexico she was desperate to reunite with her husband "Tino" with whom she had traveled North two weeks before. The couple traversed the Sonora desert together and crossed the border successfully, but were picked up at a Border Patrol checkpoint in Arizona only days after entering the United States. The pair was separated upon apprehension and that was the last Angela saw of her husband. Angela described her husband to other migrants and service providers.
Apr 8, 2014: The Dream of Family ReunificationApr 8, 2014: Last month I joined 500 immigrant youth organizers as they convened for the United We Dream congress. As organizers shared their stories, I was struck by how deportations have broken so many of their families. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was a victory, allowing many young people to live and work in the United States without fear of removal, but for many who are still separated from loved ones abroad, the dream is now to see their families reunited and protected from the threat of deportation.

Foreign pavilions await visitors with handicraft items, dress material, kitchenware, toys, gems and much more
Artisans from 21 countries will showcase products ranging from kitchenware to handicrafts to toys to high-end exquisite items to a flurry of visitors at the 32nd India International Trade Fair 2012 at Pragati Maidan from Monday.
The fair, which opened on November 14, was restricted to business visitors until Sunday.
Craftsmen and traders from Egypt, Belarus, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Thailand, Turkey, the Czech Republic and the fair's focus country South Africa have brought special products to promote business in India.
The South African wire and bead products along with ceramic and pin-thread sculptures have already earned kudos from the business visitors.
"This is my first time at the fair and I have found people have a keen interest on our arts and crafts," Alfred Fana Radeba from South Africa said. Gems and jewellery is another major attraction and overseas dealers believe India "is an easy market".
M L Safideen from Sri Lanka said: "We bring certified gems and jewellery. The advantage of the fair is that we can directly sell gems and stones over-the-counter in India. This is not allowed in other countries." Six companies from Sri Lanka have come to the fair.
The Turkey stall attracted quite an impressive footfall with jewellery and crystal products. Turkish tradeswoman Ayfer Zahur, who has been a regular foreign participant at the fair, hires an Indian assistant to help her.
"Business has not been good this year. I am waiting for the fair to open to all visitors. We did very good business last year," Ayfer said.
Munaf from Karachi said the response was weak this year. "There has been a decline in the number of customers. I hope for a turnaround from Monday," he said.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Perla Herceg-Novi
This was a great hotel, ideally priced andthe staff very helpful and spoke good English. You can walk to most things and the rooms are modern and spacious. If you can pay a little bit extra to get a room with a view over the Adriatic, and with spa it's definitely worth it.

What? They're not? Who then? Oh!
Well, boys and girls, for your entertainment pleasure, um, I'm pleased to introduce our very own song leaders, the Marvelous Wonderettes ...
(Flash forward 10 years)
Welcome, boys and girls, to the Springfield High School's class of '58 10-year reunion. Tonight, they're back for your entertainment pleasure, you remember them ...
"The Marvelous Wonderettes!"
This two-act musical is the latest Signature Series offering from the Ocala Civic Theatre; it opens tonight for 21 performances through Feb. 27.
"We're having a ball," says SuSu Sparkman, who's directing the four-woman ensemble piece that played 545 times off-Broadway and reaped a basketful of honors before it closed a year ago in New York.
"It's a revue with dialogue to develop the characters," she says. The dialogue, however, is about an eighth of the 90ish-minute show.
"The music describes each character," elaborates Celia Bills, who plays Suzy. "Each of our characters is beautifully defined by the music."
"The Marvelous Wonderettes" follows in the vein of "Mama Mia!" and "Across the Universe" — a repertoire of unrelated songs by a group, in this case '50s and '60s girl groups, strung together to create a story. And each girl definitely has a story.
So, let's meet 'em, shall we?
Suzy: "She's the bubble gum-popping, innocent, loves-everything kind of airhead," Bills says. "She's kind of in her own world."
"But," adds Sparkman, "She's the one who knows how to do things correctly."
Missy: "She's the type of girl who'd remind the teacher they had homework to do," says Marcy Butler. "She's very organized, very smart; she's the string that kind of ties them all together, keeps them under control."
Betty Jean: Laura Brahim says of her character: "She's a little bit bawdy, a little bit brash at times. She's sweet, but can come out with the wrong thing at times." And she's best friends with Cindy Lou.
Cindy Lou: "She's kind of a flirt," notes Vanessa Quinones. "She IS a flirt," quips Sparkman.
Quinones continues: "She likes to get her way, even at the cost of others. She likes attention."
Together, they're BFFs; even 10 years and some not-so-seeing eye-to-eye diminishes their bonds.
"The Marvelous Wonderettes," says Sparkman, "is all about the music."
Actually, the music is the real star here, and it's likely to raise lots of memories. Remember The Shirelles? The Ronettes? The Shangri-Las?
Remember how they told a story through tight harmonies — though, admittedly, some of the backup lyrics bordered on the ridiculous (think "shoop, shoop")?
It's all here, down to marvelously staged choreography anytime three of the four fall into back-up roles.
Ironically, only Bills was born before 1968, when Act II takes place. But all four have managed to master the sound, style, even the nuances, of the girl groups of both decades.
"Every single song has four-part harmony," says Shane Bass, the musical director. Though a post-girl group child himself, he has tutored and guided the quartet through the challenging score — "There's some 60 songs in all," he says — hindered by holidays and illnesses among the cast.
"We did a lot of work with the blend," he says.
And during the performances, he'll be close; Bass and other musicians will be in the Springfield High gym as the girls' backup band. "They won't be in the pit like the orchestra usually is," Sparkman says.
"This is just an evening of unadulterated fun," she adds. "It can't get any more fun than this."

Defense attorney Griffiths has previously blasted the War Crimes Tribunal as "racist," and a tool of American foreign policy.
In October, former lead prosecutor Stephen Rapp told ABC News that illegal diamond money was a major motivation for Taylor's rape of his neighboring Sierra Leone: "It's [Sierra Leone's} rich diamond fields which financed the continued conflict, and according to our evidence, was part of the motivation for Taylor in going in there and carrying out a conflict that ranged across the 1990s with an increased level of atrocity against the civilian population."

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Did you enjoy 5767? For Jews around the world, it was the usual assortment of bad – and even worse – news.
Of course, not everything was awful. It was a year of recovery in Israel, as the aftermath of last year's less than successful Second Lebanon War was followed by recriminations and political stalemate.
But the push for a two-state solution has morphed into a three-state version with a Hamasistan in Gaza. And the people of the town of Sderot and its environs celebrated the first day of the school year with a barrage of Kassam rockets from Gaza as they settle in for another year of being under Palestinian fire. Israel also suffered the humiliation of seeing its president resign in disgrace after taking a plea-bargain escape from a rape trial.
So, as we pause to catch our collective breath, the arrival of a new Jewish year has us all wondering about what's in store for 5768. Can things get worse? Of course, they can!
Yet even as we cope with Kassams, terror and cutthroat politics, we shouldn't lose what's left of our sense of humor.
But before the Almighty writes down just how much worse (or better) it will be for us in the proverbial Book of Life, I present (with apologies, as always, to former New York Times columnist William Safire) the annual "Jewish Pundit Quiz" for 5768.
So guess – or should I say prognosticate – along with me about the coming year. My answers are at the bottom of the column. And remember, if you are worried about the outcome, teshuvah (repentance), tefillah (prayer) and tzedakah (acts of justice and charity) may avert the severe decree.
1. The winner of the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination will be:
a. Sen. Hillary Clinton
b. Sen. Barack Obama
c. Sen. Joe Biden
d. John Edwards
e. Gov. Bill Richardson
2. The 2008 Democratic vice-presidential candidate will be:
a. Sen. Barack Obama
b. Gov. Bill Richardson
c. Al Gore
d. Al Sharpton
e. Gov. Ed Rendell
3. The winner of the 2008 Republican presidential nomination will be:
a. Sen. John McCain
b. Mitt Romney
c. Rudy Giuliani
d. Fred Thompson
e. Newt Gingrich
4. The 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate will be:
a. Jeb Bush
b. Rudy Giuliani
c. Mitt Romney
d. Condoleezza Rice
e. Dick Cheney
5. The decisive issue in the 2008 presidential primaries will be:
a. Health care
b. Education
c. Islamist terrorism
d. The war in Iraq
e. Congressional corruption
6. By the start of 5769, the situation in Iraq will have:
a. Collapsed, as a spring U.S. withdrawal leads to chaos and mass bloodshed.
b. Stabilized, as the success of the U.S. troop surge reverses the tide of American public opinion.
c. Stalemated, as the insurgents wait patiently for the victory of an antiwar U.S. presidential candidate.
7. The most important issue for the majority of American Jews in 5768 will be:
a. Funding Jewish education.
b. Fear of the Christian Right.
c. The collapse of the federation system as Jewish philanthropy continues its decline.
d. The drive to build more Jewish history museums.
e. Ensuring the victory of the Democrats over the Republicans.
8. By the start of 5769, the prime minister of Israel will be:
a. Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu
b. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni
c. Defense Minister Ehud Barak
d. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
e. Ariel Sharon (who will come out of his coma and ask what happened while he was asleep).
9. By the start of 5769, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will:
a. Have been resolved, as Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas reach a historic agreement.
b. Still be stalemated, as weak Israeli and Palestinian leaders find they can't agree and have no support even if they did.
c. Have re-escalated, as missile attacks lead to an Israeli all-out attack on Hamasistan in Gaza.
d. Be largely sidelined, as an Iranian announcement of the successful test of a nuclear bomb renders all other issues moot.
10. The most important event next year in terms of Jewish history will be:
a. The freeing of kidnapped Israeli soldiers Gilad Shalit, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.

Many so-called "humanitarian NGOs" frequently abuse Israel by applying false moral equivalencies

In their zechus may we all come to appreciate that life is a fleeting gift and resolve to spend every precious moment of it as if it were the last.
In any event, Mr. Netanyahu after the election sought to soften his statement on Palestinian statehood and apologized for what he conceded were remarks that "offended some Israeli citizens and offended members of the Israeli Arab community."

There is something quite distinctive about the biblical approach to time.
The Waqf kept control of the Temple Mount due to Dayan's "magnanimity in victory" after 6 Day war

The abuse following publication proved a cautionary tale: no one followed in Peters's footsteps
Anti-Semitism has returned to the mainstream of European society and Israel has become its focus.
One of the key talking points by apologists for Hamas in the current conflict is that it isn't fair that Israelis under fire have bomb shelters while Palestinians in Gaza don't have any. Among other factors, the lack of shelters accounts in part for the differences in casualty figures between the two peoples. But somehow […]
How will all this end? Hamas seems to think it will be Netanyahu who will blink first.
NY Times moral misdirection.
Nothing short of a stroke that will decapitate the leadership of this group will convince the Arabs that Hamas has made a mistake.
Z STREET will have the ability to compel IRS officials to testify as to their practices and produce all records.
"Death of Klinghoffer" opera frames the issue as Israel's existence being the real crime.
