The first time I gave a warm oil massage was to my gf's mother. My gf was at work and her mom was complaining about sore neck and back muscles, so I offered to give her a massage. It started out innocently enough, but then she said that warmed oil would feel much better. Then she took off her top, including her bra and I rubbed her back and neck, then she turned over and her nipples were standing straight up. I had to give them some attention and she grabbed my hard through the shorts I had on. Then we both stripped down, and we both massaged each other until we had to fuck. Her mom and I got it on several times after that.

Eovaldi, Halladay have something to prove in Miami
Pair of right-handers hoping for strong outings as season nears end
The Marlins will open their final homestand the same way they'll end it -- by sending Nathan Eovaldi to the mound.
Eovaldi will make his second-to-last start of the season Monday versus the Phillies before getting the nod in the 2013 finale next Sunday. The right-hander is coming off a no-decision in Philadelphia in which he gave up three runs (two earned).
"I felt good until that fifth inning, when I kind of lost control," Eovaldi said. "Up until that point, I felt really good. I was getting ahead. I was able to get ahead with my curveball, which I hadn't really been able to do all season. It felt like it was a lot easier to get ahead with my offspeed pitches, and then use my fastball."
Because a stint on the disabled list to start the year delayed Eovaldi's season until June 18, he has tossed just 92 2/3 innings heading into Monday. The righty is 1-4 with a 5.21 ERA in seven starts at home, but those numbers were inflated by two rough outings at Marlins Park. Though he missed a start earlier this month due to back spasms, Eovaldi says he is feeling fine heading into the last week of the regular season.
"You always want to finish on a strong note, that's something I want to accomplish," he said. "I missed so much time at the beginning of the season, and then this little back spasm. I feel like there is always room to improve."
For the Phillies, Roy Halladay will toe the rubber, as the 36-year-old veteran continues to search for his rhythm. Pitching with diminished velocity and shakier command than he used to have, Halladay has struggled his last two seasons, posting two of his highest season ERAs in over a decade. Halladay, a free agent after 2013, enters his last two starts with an uncertain future.
"Unfortunately that's out of my control," he said. "I'm going to continue to play as hard as I can for the organization and my teammates, and hopefully I have a chance to pitch again. But, you know, I can't worry about things that are out of my control."
Halladay is hoping his arm can continue to bounce back from shoulder surgery and that he can show enough in his next two starts to keep his career going.
"There's days when the location may not be good or the ball's not coming out of my hand with the same life as it does other days," Halladay said. "That's all part of coming back from an injury. No, I am very grateful for the opportunity to come back and pitch. I won't be disappointed at the end, because I was fortunately given that chance to come back and pitch."
Phillies: Sandberg sheds interim tag, looks to build staff
Ryne Sandberg signed a three-year deal to be the Phillies' skipper Sunday, and he will now turn his attention to his coaching staff.
Several coaches already on staff have uncertain futures -- pitching coach Rich Dubee, hitting coach Steve Henderson, catching coach Mick Billmeyer, third-base coach Juan Samuel, first-base and assistant hitting coach Wally Joyner and bullpen coach Rod Nichols all have contracts that expire after this season.
"First of all, we have very qualified and professional and very good coaches right now in the coaches' room," Sandberg said during a news conference Sunday morning at Citizens Bank Park. "[General manager] Ruben [Amaro Jr.] and I will have some conversations and discussions on that, and we're going to do that collectively and come up with a hard-working staff that I'll be comfortable with and will do a good job."
"Putting together a quality coaching staff that can support Ryne and support the organization, I think that will be a priority for us," said Amaro Jr.
Marlins: Redmond hoping Marlins can rebound
Miami manager Mike Redmond is familiar with down seasons. The 1998 Marlins team he played for lost 108 games, but then progressed to a World Series victory in 2003. He's hoping his current Miami squad can experience a similar reversal of fortune.
"There are a lot of guys who played a long time in the big leagues off that [1998] team," Redmond said. "All the guys who were on that team who I played with, they said they were better off because they went through that.
"Nobody likes to lose," Redmond added. "At the same time, you develop a pride within your organization and with your teammates -- when you struggle and then when you start to come out of it."
Worth noting
• Halladay held the Marlins to four hits and one run in six innings last Tuesday, but he walked three and hit a batter. He has hit 10 batters this season and is averaging 4.96 walks per nine innings.
• Philadalphia owns an 11-5 mark over the Marlins this season, including a 4-2 record in Miami.
• Eovaldi's last outing was his first of the season against the Phillies. He is 0-4 with a 5.40 ERA in five career starts against Philadalphia.

Logan Wildlife Area
Russell Springs, KS
Phone: 785-726-3212
Manager: Kent Hensley
Phone: (785) 726-3212
Location: 1.5 mile north and 3 mile west of Russell Springs, KS.
A Google Earth of the entire area is now available:
In 1954 The Kansas Fish and Game Commission acquired the 271-acre Logan Wildlife Area.
Trees such as cottonwood, elm, and willow can be found along the lake shoreline and the associated drainage into the lake. The majority of the area is rangeland with a mixture of short grass and mid grass prairie. Buffalo grass, little bluestem, side oats grama, western wheat grass, and Indian grass are some of the native grasses found on the area. Yucca can be found interspersed throughout the rangeland. Food plots of milo and wheat are often planted on the area to provide food and cover for wildlife.
A diversity of both game and non-game wildlife can be seen at the Logan Wildlife Area. Due to its size, wildlife is easily driven off the area by light hunting pressure, so hunting good opportunities are often limited. The area supports a fair population of Ringneck pheasants. Upland bird hunters can be successful hunting the food plots during cold or inclement weather. Mule and whitetail deer, dove, rabbits (jack and cottontail), and coyotes in low numbers are also found on the area. During the fall and spring, various species of ducks, Canada geese, and other migratory birds use the lake as a resting area. Waterfowl hunting is very inconsistent and varies with weather and water levels. Great blue herons and black-crowned night herons can be observed along the shoreline of the lake. Other wildlife that frequent the area are badgers, hawks, owls, magpies, shore birds, song birds, snakes, turtles, and rodents.
Several Species of fish are when the lake level is adequate to support a fishery. They include channel catfish, bluegill, sunfish, and occasionally wipers. Other species such as green sunfish, black crappie, and black bullheads may also be present. Growth of fish at Logan SFL is accelerated due to the cyclic refilling, which creates high nutrient levels. Quality is usually good to excellent for the duration of the lake. Statewide length and creel limits are in effect for pertinent species when water is available.
- Vehicles are restricted to maintained roads.
- Off Road Vehicle and Horse use is prohibited.
- Camping is allowed on 2 designated areas.
- Steel shot is required for waterfowl hunting.
- Consult the annual hunting, fishing and furharvesting regulations for more complete rules and regulations that apply to Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism areas.

A rare ailment literally takes a young man on a journey of the unexpected in this off-kilter comedy from Spanish filmmaker Santo Amodeo. Samuel (Juan Jose Ballesta) is a seemingly ordinary nineteen-year-old with an unusual problem. Samuel suffers from an uncommon brain disorder that causes him to have periodic spells where he goes into a trance, making it impossible for him to interact with people or things around him. While Samuel tries to live a normal life, his difficulties become apparent when he attends a funeral and bumps into his cousin Eduardo (Julian Villagran) for the first time in years. Eduardo invites Samuel to spend a few days with him and he agrees; that night, they go out to a club, but after a few hours of partying, Samuel feels an attack coming on and needs to take a nap. Samuel heads outside and crawls into the back of a van; the next morning, he wakes up to find the driver of the van took an overnight trip, and he's now in Madrid, hundreds of miles away from Eduardo's place. Samuel now had to find the owner of the van and persuade them to take him back home; as he scours Madrid, he encounters a handful of local eccentrics, including seductive Rosa (Ana Wagener), scatterbrained Consuelo (Adriana Ugarte) and Angelito (Manuel Alexandre), an elderly gentleman living with Alzheimer's.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Meet Windows Phone Champ Desiree Lockwood
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
"I love being able to speak with people who are passionate about technology--the same technology I'm passionate about. And then you see what they're accomplishing out in the community and it's humbling."--Desiree Lockwood
After working closely with Microsoft's Windows Phone team for six years—working on major launch campaigns and integration in events such as the Mobile World Congress—Desiree Lockwood took over as a senior product marketing manager for Windows Phone just three months ago. One of her first realizations? The tremendous reach and impact of the MVP community.
"There are just 35 Windows Phone Development MVPs and together they reached three million people last year," explained Desiree. "It's not just amazing reach though; it's depth. They help drive awareness of what this platform can do and truly enhance people's experience with it around the world, every day."
"This is one of my favorite things about this job," she continued. "I love being able to speak with people who are passionate about technology--the same technology I'm passionate about. And then you see what they're accomplishing out in the community and it's humbling: they're coming to me with full plans for spreading the word out in their region or helping the product teams better communicate features. It motivates me every day. I see part of my job as just helping to unblock their paths and enable them."
That relationship with Windows Phone Development MVPs extends to the product engineering team, who make sure there are seats for MVPs in nearly every product review cycle. "The engineering team feels very comfortable sharing early information with the Windows Phone Development MVP community. They know MVPs have the pulse of the community and are out in the trenches, helping developers get from point a to point b every day," said Desiree.
"Members of our team are coming to me every few weeks saying: 'I have this project I'm working on, can I talk with some MVPs?'" she explained. "And MVPs love that—if it's new and nobody's done it before, then they're enthusiastic: 'Yes, sign me up!'"
So far the highlight of her work with community has been the recent MVP Global Summit. "I have calls with MVPs every other week and it's always enjoyable; there's a definite sense of camaraderie. But getting to sit down face-to-face at the Summit with the people I've been exchanging instant messages with was one of my favorite moments."

Somebody needs to shake khronos awake.
Tell the ARB what version numbers are for.
I mean If I make libs that implement an api I do the following.
Start with lib<api name><api major version>.
This way I can install multiple versions of the same api in one directory.
Use multiple versions of library in one project without confusion.
(doing use for one major version and writing the fully qualified name for the others)
This is easy but you have to be consistent with keeping the version numbers to distinguish things. This isn't very complicated and much simpler to implement robustly than adding profiles and other special things.
This way compatibility can be broken while old apps can still function.

Blocked Tear Ducts
Topic Overview
What is a blocked tear duct?
Tears normally drain from the eye through small tubes called tear ducts, which stretch from the eye into the nose. If a tear duct becomes blocked or fails to open, tears cannot drain from the eye properly. The duct may fill with fluid and become swollen, inflamed, and sometimes infected.
Blocked tear ducts happen most often in babies, though they may occur at any age. They affect about 6 out of 100 newborns.1
Most of the time, blocked tear ducts in babies clear up on their own during the baby's first year. They usually have no effect on the baby's vision or cause any lasting eye problems.
What causes a blocked tear duct?
Causes of blocked tear ducts in children include:
- Failure of the thin tissue at the end of the tear duct to open normally. This is the most common cause.
- Infections.
- Blockage of the tear duct at both ends (dacryocystocele).
- Abnormal growth of the nasal bone that puts pressure on a tear duct and closes it off.
- Closed or undeveloped openings in the corners of the eyes where tears drain into the tear ducts.
Blocked tear ducts may run in families.
In adults, blocked tear ducts may be caused by an injury to the bones or tissues around the eyes or by another disorder, sometimes related to aging. For example, a blocked tear duct may result from a thickening of the tear duct lining, abnormal tissue or structures in the nose, or problems from surgery on or around the nose.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms often affect only one eye. They may include:
- Heavy tearing. This may range from the eye looking wet to having tears run down the cheek.
- A yellow or white buildup in the corner of the eye. The eyelids may stick together.
- Redness and swelling around the eye or nose. This can be caused by infection in the eye's drainage system, such as dacryocystitis. In severe cases, infection can spread to the eyelids. A severe infection can cause fever, pain, increased redness and swelling, and mucus or pus in the eye.
Babies who have blocked tear ducts usually have symptoms within the first few days to the first few weeks after birth.
The symptoms of a blocked tear duct may get worse after an upper respiratory infection, such as a cold or sinus infection. Wind, cold, and sunlight also may make symptoms worse.
How is a blocked tear duct diagnosed?
A blocked tear duct is diagnosed based on a medical history and a physical exam. The doctor may also use tests to measure the amount of tears or to see if tears are draining normally from the eyes. Other tests can help your doctor find out where the blockage is or how it was caused.
How is it treated?
Most babies who have blocked tear ducts don't need treatment. To help prevent infection and other problems until the blockage goes away:
- Keep the eye clean. To wipe away drainage, moisten a clean cotton ball or washcloth with warm water, and gently wipe from the inner (near the nose) to the outer part of the eye.
- If your child's doctor suggests it, gently massage the area of the blockage. This can prevent fluid buildup in the duct.
- Limit your child's time in the wind, cold, and sunlight.
- Always wash your hands before and after you touch the eye area.
If signs of infection develop, your baby may need antibiotics.
Sometimes a probing procedure may be done to open the duct if the duct doesn't clear on its own. Probing successfully opens the duct for about 80 out of 100 babies who have blocked ducts.1 In rare cases, babies with blocked tear ducts have a more severe problem that requires more complex surgery.
In adults who have blocked tear ducts, treatment depends on the cause of the blockage. If the duct is blocked because of a long-term infection, antibiotics may be used. Surgery may be needed for structural problems or abnormal growths. Probing usually isn't done for adults.

I'm not into that lion-o head but when I own him I may change my mind.
But I really wish they were in scale with each motuc and thunder cats.
Lion-O has skinny legs. Era War!!!!!
Bandai might be bad, but Jazwares has them beat. I've had their 4" Street Fighter figures fall apart on me and break out of the package. Bandai's ThunderTank can't support the additional ThunderRacers weight -- and those vehicles were advertised and hyped that they work with the ThunderTank!
As much as we complain about QC on MOTUC, there are much worse companies out there.

My feedback threadhttp://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...or-Brian-Ozone
This is terrible. Not only are they not in scale with the MOTUC, they look awful.
Liono looks like he has a degenerative hip condition, and the his upper body is literally held together with screws.
I will definitely wait to see what the other characters look like before I decide to get any of these.
That Liono head makes no sense. I have never seen him make a face like that. Can anyone post a screenshot of the cartoon close to that? My only guess is that they did that face to make little boys like Liono more, too bad he looks dumb.
I just hope the 8 Inch Figures continue and Chetara and Panthro look as cool as the first 2, and don't cost twice as much.
Whoah, crazy seeing the pics I posted over on the Fwoosh pop up here. That was a bit of a surprise. I totally feel why everyone is bummed about the scale difference between MOTU and the new Thundercats though, its sucks. But the Lion-O fig on its own is still a pretty rad figure.
Those Thundercats figures are hideous! The screws are unforgivable.

200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
what is this! cant they get it right?!
and i really want to collect thundercats, but i'm not going to if this is the best they can come up with.
do over!
these are only good for being ruthlessly smashed by a child. not worth it for a collector. really bandai? really?
Thanks for this thread! After seeing the screws in the backs of the figures, I just cancelled my pre-order.
Everyone knew Bandai would blow it, I'll save my cash for more He-Man figures.

Wow this doesn't look good for Thundercats Classics. First their figures are to big compared to MOTUC and now they are to small. It's like they want this line to fail. What a shame, cause if they were in scale I surely woulf have added them to my collection. Now I can wait for TC in the 7'' scale, which will never happen.
I was really hoping the new 6" scale would be awesome...but meh.
Supporter of All Eras! Including "Son of He-Man"!
I personally love the look of the 6'' Thundercats, and feel they fit great with the anime inspired 200X line. Though I would have preferred the classics to stay 8'', I will simply invest less money into them.
I just don't get all the griping about. Some of these posts belong on another website I discovered. Its called whitepeopleproblems.com.
They are just toys.

Definitely not perfect, but I still like LION-O. I'm a fairly decent customizer, so painting the ankle pegs and screws will be a cake walk.
Granted...I should not have to do that, but such is life.
And technically, any MOCers shouldn't even by bothered by the back screws. ( just sayin' )
Always Expect the Unexpected!
Honestly I can live with the screws, not every figure is completely glued, I am used to seeing screws in Transformers, I mean even MOTU has visible pegs, granted they are color correct, but nonetheless still highly visibile...only now are they starting to really use pegless joints...and how many years has it been? Vikor was the first..I believe to have pegless boots, but arms and knees still have connectors showing...They are not highly visible silver screws, but is it really that big a deal...I mean really....almost everyone views they figures from the front..so is it such an issue that they're on their backs?...you're not being asked to pay a premium for these figures like MOTUC...so why worry about the screws?
I don't like the new Lion-O face, and the figures seem to look a little cheaper, and more plastic than MOTUC, but depending on what the others look like, and if they issue a new Lion-O with a regular face, I could be persuaded to buy a few...screws and all, I mean the regular 6" 2011 line has them...and no one said that the new 6" Classic line was Adult Collector only, like MOTUC are.

I don't mind the visible screws on Transformers either, but it's more acceptable on those since they are robots, and they have far more moving parts.
Other toy companies make super articulated figures without any need for screws to hold them together. Look at Hasbro's 4-inch figure lines like Star Wars & G.I. Joe. Bandai should be capable of doing the same.
They should, and can...the 8" don't have screws on their backs...so I don't know why they do it for the smaller scales....I know others don't have screws, but they have some sort of pegs or something besides glue holding them together is my point...no they shouldn't have went with this approach, but no one seemed to mind the 2011 6" figures having them...only now that Bandai scaled back the Classic line to 6" people are just picking them apart, granted I don't defend the use of screws, but it's not really an issue on a non Collectors grade kids toy, that an adult collector might pick up. Now if MOTUC started using screws, then by all means pick them apart all you want, as that is not acceptable for a $20+ Collector grade, collector funded toyline, which Thundercats is not.

I bought the 8" figures, I will continue to buy those if they keep making them. These new 6" ones look pretty terrible.
Yeah, I take that as "We'll certainly be releasing the 8" figures whose tooling we already paid for!"
I imagine Cheetarah would have been up next with an entirely new sculpt that may need to earn back its investment. I can already see 7 exclusive variants, including a muddy SDCC 2012 version!
I don't know if this is the first, but the line that gave birth to Marvel Legends and helped set the current standard in 6" figure articulation was Spider-Man Classics back in 2001. I wonder if that led to everyone labeling their ideal modern figures of iconic characters "Classics." Never really realized so many lines used it until now.
Screw holes...not so good. I read somewhere that they were going to address stuff like the black plastic pegs you see on all of the modern design Lion-O's joints next year. Screws seem like a similar distracting visual to me. I think Bandai's doing a lot of nice stuff with Thundercats, but you end up with all of these little reminders that this is a company that's largely known for producing toys of robots.
If I had just one Thundercat, I'd be fine with my 8" Lion-O since he's pretty close to excellent. Moving to 6" so that a larger line is more manageable and the figures can mesh with the 2011 design figures makes sense. It still stinks that I've got a Tygra that will be retired and my new Lion-O will be constantly screaming his face off. Those screws in his back must really hurt.
Yelling Lion-O and Mumm-Ra are the new 6" Classic figures...with screws.
I actually saw them..mind you the first ever TC toys in a store around me in a local Target yesterday, and while I didn't like the head, and they looked a little more plastic, than the 8" they really were not all that bad...not like horrible...but they are less of a figure than the 8" were to be.

Web Marketing: It's Time to Listen to the Expert in You
Everyone has the same amount of time in a day—24 hours, that's what we've got. And I bet you have lots of people telling you how to spend that time. Your family, your friends, your colleagues, they all have lots of advice on what to do and how to do it. None of us can do it all, so we need to decide who and what to listen to. In some circumstances it's probably easy; in others, probably not.
When it comes to growing your business, I bet that advice leans towards this kind of talk. Your teenager insists you must put your business on Facebook, your peers keep sending you articles about the miracle of blogging for business, and marketing salespeople are around every corner. No matter where you look or who you listen to, everyone will be telling you something different when it comes to how to market your business. How on earth do you know what advice to take and what tactics to choose?
First, it's important to know there is no one magic marketing formula that's going to work for every printer out there, so let's not spend our precious hours looking for one. There's no such thing as a best fit for everyone, just as there is no one style of shoe that feels comfortable on every foot. Second, when it comes to expert advice, keep the one tip in mind we've probably all heard from our mothers at some point, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Last but certainly not least, it's important to listen to the one person who knows your business best. The one who's been standing on the front lines since opening day. It's time to listen to the expert in you.
I know what you're thinking, "So, Tawnya, are you telling me to quit paying attention to the trends and ignore the experts?" Absolutely not. I wouldn't be writing this column if I believed that. We have to know what's out there to choose from and be armed with as much knowledge about marketing best practices as possible. But here's the kicker— we don't have to do all of it. We don't have to feel inadequate if we aren't able to do all of it. And we certainly don't have to do something we know in our gut isn't good for our business simply because "everyone else is doing it."
Take what you learn from those experts, peers, friends, and family, filter it through what you believe will work best in your specific situation, and then come to terms with your specific time, money, and ability limitations. Let's talk through the examples I mentioned earlier.
A Place on the Face
Your teenager can probably point out at least a hundred other printers that have Facebook fan pages (the "business" version of a Facebook profile—essentially, a mini-website). He may show you that XYZ Printer has an amazing number of "fans" on his page (people that show their support for these businesses by becoming "fans" of their page). Your teen swears you should have a Facebook page, too. Now these are all really great points, and all very true. But what works for those other printers may not be the best fit for you, no matter how many fans they've found. Maybe they have a different customer base; maybe they even offer different products and services. So take your teen's advice, take a step back and make sure that spending a few of your precious 24 hours on Facebook makes sense for your business.
Consider your customers. Are they on Facebook? If you started telling them, "Visit us on Facebook," would they really comply? Next, consider your business' budget, time constraints, and staff ability. A lot of people tend to jump on the Facebook bandwagon because it's "free marketing," but as we all know, time is money, so be sure to account for the time it takes to create and update your page consistently. Consistency is key, so be sure you have the time to devote both now and a year from now to keep your page updated and vibrant.
You can apply these same Facebook principles to every marketing decision you make. Replace "Facebook" with about any other marketing or business growth idea and this advice holds true.
Blogging for Business
Blogging, like any other marketing vehicle, works best for those who have thought through their business goals and determined what it is, exactly, that they are trying to accomplish. Bloggers are likely looking for a lot of public recognition; a big following. But is that what you want for your business? Do you want people to say, "Oh yeah—I know Joe the Printer, you guys are everywhere," or is your printshop perfectly satisfied with a more low key existence? Maybe you're more interested in a steady stream of loyal customers who spend enough money to keep you in the black and that's it—no public fanfare necessary.
If you decide a little fame would be good for your business goals, take a look at those 24 hours again. Do you have time to spend on a blog? Then consider your skill. Are you a writer? Do you keep a personal journal and jot every chance you get? Then you definitely have what it takes to be a blogger. But if English was your least favorite subject in school and you'd rather do just about anything other than write, you may want to consider a better use of your time. Keep that in mind for every business venture you undergo, if you don't have the right mix of budget, talent, and time to do it right, you may want to head down another route. There are so many great marketing options to choose from, why not pick the ones you're passionate about?
Here a Salesman, There a Salesman
Knowing your business and yourself is key when those salespeople come knocking at your door. If you have a solid understanding of your business goals and marketing strategies that will benefit it, it will be a lot easier to decide if what those salespeople are selling is truly worth its weight in marketing gold.
Again it's time to listen to the expert in you. If a print ad salesman shows you that every printer within a 50 mile radius is advertising with them, that doesn't necessarily mean you should. In fact, would going "outside of the box" be beneficial? Would it help you stand out from the crowd of competitors? Or maybe that print ad does make sense and this salesperson is the perfect opportunity to negotiate a great deal.
What about the search engine expert who's been sending you emails? Is what he's selling truly going to get you the results you seek? Will you see a return on the investment you make with him? Ensuring expert status in this field is tricky, so be sure to do your homework. Make sure they can prove success with others in the printing industry. That should be the very first question you ask anyone trying to sell you this service, "What specifically do you know about print buyers?"
Now let's consider that email marketing provider touting its excellent return on investment. A very true statement indeed and an amazing follow-up tool for other marketing efforts, but we must remember our business before buying into one sole marketing tactic. If you quit sending samples of your printing to your customers, what message is that sending about your faith in your product? What if you sent a few printed marketing pieces followed by some excellent email promotions? Would that leave a better impression?
The Clock is Ticking
The 24 hours in this day are ticking away as you read this. How are you going to spend the rest of them? I would hope, after reading this article, you're ready to take a step back and really explore your business. Stop and listen to that inner voice that got you this far in the first place, and only then take note of the trends and "what the experts are saying." You'll be amazed how confident you'll become in your marketing choices once you stop and take a listen to that expert in you.

Keep that in mind that if you don't have the right mix of budget, talent, and time to do it right, you may want to head down another route.

Theater Review: Tragic history makes for powerful theaterProvided photo
A friend (Pippa Leslie) confronts Sarah (Jenny Young), right, in Centaur Theatres Innocence Lost. The Montreal venue will present the play through Feb. 24.On a summer evening in 1959, in Clinton, Ontario, 12-year-old Lynne Harper was last seen riding on the handlebars of 14-year-old Steven Truscotts bicycle.
The following day she was found in a bush, raped and murdered, strangled by her own blouse.
A few days later, Truscott was charged with first-degree murder and was subsequently convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. Truscott maintained his innocence throughout, but it took multiple appeals, including one of a Canadian Supreme Court ruling, before his conviction was overturned by an appeals court 48 years later in 2007.
Truscotts story is told in Beverly Coopers searing 2008 play, Innocence Lost: A Play About Steven Truscott, which opened Thursday in a powerful and deeply moving production at the Centaur Theatre, Montreals foremost English-language theater.
Rural Clinton was home to a Royal Canadian Air Force base where there were already deep divides between the various factions in the community. Still, the communitys youth enjoyed a normal and even carefree childhood until this tragedy changed everything.
Steven Truscott was an athletic but shy kid and well liked. As the last known person to see Lynne Harper alive, he became the prime suspect. All of the evidence was circumstantial, and it turned out the police ignored any statements that contradicted those pointing to Truscotts guilt. A local jury unanimously found him guilty but asked for leniency because of his age.
Still, the judge sentenced him to death making him the youngest person ever on Canadas death row. Because of public outcry over Truscotts age, his sentence was commuted to life, and he remained imprisoned for another 10 years all the time maintaining his innocence.
In 1966, a book by Isabel LeBourdais, The Trial of Steven Truscott, questioned the rapid police investigation and trial. Her argument that the court had sentenced an innocent child to death made headlines and sparked demonstrations. Still, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled 8-1 to uphold the verdict.
In 2000, CBCs The Fifth Estate broadcast a documentary that included new evidence and brought into question the pathologists report that set the time of death the very testimony that convicted Truscott. And though the pathologist revised his testimony, it wasnt until 2007 that the Ontario Court of Appeal threw out the conviction.
In 2008, Truscott was awarded $6.5 million in compensation. (For more of this fascinating story, go online to www.cbc.ca/news/background/truscott/.)
Coopers play, which premiered at the 2008 Blyth (Ontario) Festival, is a riveting retelling of this tragic tale that accurately fleshes out the major characters with sensitivity. Although told through a fictional character, a classmate of Truscotts named Sarah, much of the dialog was taken from court transcripts, LeBourdais book and other historical research. The result is powerful and poignant storytelling.
The Centaurs compelling production, directed by the theaters artistic director, Roy Surette, is a co-production with Ottawas National Arts Centre, where it goes next. The universally excellent cast was taken from the NAC English Theatre Acting Company.
Sarah, the plays pivotal character, was given an unusually dimensional and convincing performance by Jenny Young, from an innocent teen with a crush on Truscott, to a confused member of the mob believing in his guilt, to a mother of her own 14-year old forced to question her conclusions.
Pippa Leslie was especially touching as Sarahs friend who doubts Truscotts guilt, and thinks Sarah should as well.
Fiona Reid delivered author Isabel LeBourdais with authority, a refreshing breath of sanity in this tragedy. Trevor Barrette as Truscott was a bit supercilious for a 14-year-old in the beginning, but became much more convincing as events got serious. Julie Tamiko Manning offered a particularly sensitive performance as Truscotts always-believing mother.
Most of the cast plays multiple roles, often in tableaux. Though this tool is often distracting in lesser plays, here it effectively allowed for an easier and more comfortable dissemination of a lot of information.
The effective abstract set by James Lavoie, who was also responsible for the period costumes, benefited from projections that enhanced the menacing atmosphere.
Lighting by Luc Prairie and original music and sound design by Keith Thomas completed the turgid atmosphere.
Centaur Theatres Innocence Lost proved to be provoking and deeply moving theater well worth a trip to Montreal.

The Book of Tea Okakura Kakuzo
The Book of Tea was written by Okakura Kakuzo in the early 20th century. It was first published in 1906, and has since been republished many times. – In the book, Kakuzo introduces the term Teaism and how Tea has affected nearly every aspect of Japanese culture, thought, and life. The book is noted to be accessibile to Western audiences because though Kakuzo was born and raised Japanese, he was trained from a young age to speak English; and would speak it all his life, becoming proficient at communicating his thoughts in the Western Mind. In his book he elucidates such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of Tea and Japanese life. The book emphasises how Teaism taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzo argues that this tea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture, and he was a long-time student of the visual arts. He ends the book with a chapter on Tea Masters, and spends some time talking about Sen no Rikyu and his contribution to the Japanese Tea Ceremony.

- Include this event on the following pages
This is a list of department sites that you control. Select the sites where you wish to display the event. The graphic above displays a user who only has one site in the list. If you only have one department, you must select the department for the event to display. If nothing is selected, then the event will not be included in your department calendar.
On a PC, use the CTRL key to select multiple items. On a mac,use the Command key to select multiple items.
- Tags
It's a great idea to add tags to your events. When a visitor clicks the same tag on a news story, for example, then your event will appear in the list. Examples of good tags are: sustainability, sustainable skidmore, english, raab lecture series, etc.
- Title
If you don't yet know the exact title of your event, you can put in temporary text, and come back to edit it later. An example would be "Raab Lecture" as a temporary title, and then later "Raab Lecture: Warren Selig"
- Start Date
- End Date
You must include an end date, even if it is the same date as the start date.
- Start Time
- End Time
- Building
This is a list of buildings on campus. You can leave it blank if you like, however, by selecting the building, you will connect your event to the campus map so when someone views a building on the campus map, the event will be listed. If you do not select a building, you should enter location information in the next box for Room/Off-campus Location
- Room/Off-campus location
If your event is off-campus, you can use this box to indicate where. If your event is in a particular room of a building, you can fill that information in here.
- Event Image
The event image is what will show up in the top right of the calendar, and will be the small thumbnail next to the event when it displays on a department page (or the home page). You can upload your own, or you can choose one of the generic ones already loaded into the system.
New images must be 198px wide by 130px tall. If the image is not of these dimensions, the system will attempt to re-size it, and sometimes the results are not what you would expect.
To choose from the previously uploaded images, click on the left or right arrows on the filmstrip. There are images for music, dance, theater, movies, some of the common campus buildings, lectures, career events, and so forth.
- Alternative Thumbnail Text
For ADA compliance reasons, please provide a few words to describe whatever thumbnail image you use. "Dance performance", "Wilson Chapel", etc.
