Hunter blinded by shotgun blast in rehab Wife: 6-foot-1 husband wearing full camouflage
NEW BERLIN — The community is rallying around an assistant football coach at Mifflinburg Area High School blinded by a shotgun blast from another turkey hunter a week ago today.
Michael Hobbins, of New Berlin, was shot in the upper body Saturday while hunting on state game lands in Limestone Township, Union County. The gunfire sprayed onto his arms and into his eyes, his wife, Terry Hobbins, said Friday. Hobbins was critically injured and flown by helicopter to Geisinger Medical Center, Danville.
"I was terrified," she said Friday. "I can't even tell you..."
Terry Hobbins let out a sigh of relief Friday when she was finally able to say that her husband "moved to rehab. It's wonderful. It's going to take some time, but we know he'll be back."
The other man was not hunting with Hobbins.
"We're hopeful that he'll be able to see again. It'll just take some time," Terry Hobbins said. "We're very proud of him. He's doing remarkable well."
According to his wife, Michael was walking back to meet his hunting party, who was waiting for him at his truck, when he heard another hunter perform a turkey call.
He was reaching for his bright orange hunting vest and trying to get out of the other hunter's way when he was shot.
Pennsylvania state law does not require hunters to wear orange clothing when looking for gobblers and a representative from the National Wild Turkey Federation, a nonprofit conservation and hunting organization, believe not doing so could be dangerous. The group suggests wearing full camouflage, which Hobbins was wearing that day.
Terry Hobbins suggested that the shooter may have seen movement after making the turkey call, so he fired his shotgun.
"He wasn't wearing anything that would make him be mistaken for a turkey," Terry said of her husband, who stands 6-foot-1 .
Terry said she is thankful for prayers and support the family has gotten from the community, and the New Berlin Fire Company, when the shooting occurred.
"Everything went so smoothly and perfectly and everyone was by his side," Terry Hobbins said.
"We knew he was in good hands."
A Facebook group formed the day of the shooting has nearly 550 community members, relatives and friends.
"Mike's a super nice guy," said Mifflinburg Mayor David Cooney, who has known the family for years and works with Hobbins through the Mifflinburg football team.
Cooney is the public address announcer at games.
"He's a nice role model for our young student athletes," Cooney said. "Everyone in Mifflinburg is praying for his speedy recovery. We just hope he gets back in action as soon as possible."
According to the Game Commission's Web site, it is illegal to shoot a turkey during spring gobbler season without identifying its beard.

as for myself and my limited existence.
1. Remains of an old house and possible mill in Indiana on some friends property. Rather close to a stream. Cut stone construction. In rather poor shape. 2. Pile of skinned coyotes out in the middle of nowhere in Idaho. At least 20. Nothing really odd considering its legal to kill em in droves year round, just awkward. 3. a Dodge two door of some sort. Perhaps 40s era. Rather bullet riddled. Wasn't there this last year. Probably someone looking for scrap metal picked up it. 4. Womans pants with a phone number on them in Oregon outside The Dalles 5. Couple cars at the bottom of the ravine near the Snake River outside Mountain Home, Id. I guess gravity is amusing to people. I have also found things that "stray" from the bombing range. Like illumination flares. Specifically the kind with White Phosphorus. Turns out that stuff just crusts up (blackish layer) and if disturbed get fresh air and starts again. Glad i didn't kick it. 6. Some old bridges and logging equipment. Im impressed at how fast nature can overtake things. 7. Old house, half fallen in. Creepy side was a wedding dress hanging up in the hallway. Probably left by kids previously going through, either was in there or added, but still, kinda eerie. 8. Abandoned house in Ohio. Seemed to be left as was for at least 15 years. Still was rather complete inside. Lots of personal items. Even a checkbook and some foreclosure papers dated in the 80s. 9. Tons of mining equipment and old buildings around the area for the Idaho Rally. 10. One time i followed this road, in rather poor condition and bumpy. Bottomed out a few times, misshapened a rim even. Came into an area with tons of abandoned buildings. I mean dozens or even hundreds. I check my GPS. Turns out i was in Cleveland. And the bumps were pot holes. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/28/2011 03:55PM by Gravity Fed. |

They would take turns wierd - followed a well over grown trail, turned out to be an old quad trail, in my truck. came across two pikes, either side, with skulls tied to them.

Real or imaginary?
I've discovered a ton of crazy shit in the woods. I remember one time walking alone back from a cave and walking in dark with no sounds, stars or visible light to guide me either direction. Just had to trust I was going the right way. Was totally questioning myself and convinced I was going to get lost. That was when I noticed some light ahead. I'd found my way back to the campsite. As I got closer, I realized I was on a trail. Probably had followed it the whole time. |

A pair of friends were out on a long mountain bike ride in the wood around Lake Tahoe many years ago, they kept seeing ranger trucks and even a helicopter, so they kept going the other way. Until they found the lost 3-year old kid who eveyone was looking for. There was some arguement about who had to give hime the piggy-back ride back to the rangers. At least that is their story. I suspect they were on the 'shrooms, found an old shoe that they carrried around for a while and then gave to a tree stump.

Two good looking female park rangers, about 40 miles from any road bathing in bikinis while doing some research project. We'd been out hiking for about 3 days to get there. Lemme see if I still have pics on the home computer when I get home. (had a great time around the campfire that night)

Mostly old logging equipment.
One time I was driving the GTX out, way out, for some practice. I ran into the snow line and continued on for a bit till it got too deep. While turning around I looked down and saw a whole little commune of old school buses and camo tarps around a camp fire etc. I got the hell out of there, they were hard to see and I am thinking meth lab/ commune. I did not stay around to figure it out... I am most struck buy how basically everywhere I go there is some sign some human did something there, from old stumps, to pipe lines, mining rail, foundations, orchard trees etc. People have covered almost every inch of the USA at some point in history. I am also struck by how well nature takes it back. |

I was thinking about that when watching the Alaska Gold Rush show and they started digging in an area where they decided the dredge hadn't been 50 years before based upon tree growth. They dug down 8 feet when the claim owner informed them it had been dredged and about then they came upon a buried scrap of tire or something from the old dredge. Meth lab was probably accurate. They seem to seize a few million worth or weed growing in the Pike National Forest around here every spring. |

back when I was a farmer in downtown Olympia (neener neener! Statue of Limitations!!!!) I paid more attention to the news of grow operation busts.. It was always just over the top hilarious what figures they would come up with. Millions and millions for 200 plants in a banzai operation. More like maybe 5000 bucks wholesale... my mentor in the business figured, yeah if they counted the 1 doobie at a time price of the stuff, but who ever bought one skinny at a time? The news would, like always, parrot any bullshit handed to them by any "authority". Worse was the daily papers like the Daily Zero in Oly...

(How has no one said this)
A bunch of people lined up in old cars with funny looking pajamas. OR, JVL, Gene, Or Al's mustache. Actually, the true weirdest thing I've found in the woods is a tie. Either the little girl who was like 5-7 with the shot gun in a sundress with her redneck parents, or the time Ethan and I were driving around deep in the eastside of duvall and found a looooong, skinny gravel road that ended up pass some OLD (like 1930-50's) rusted out trucks, and the worlds most creepy old man (think herbert from family guy). As we got the hell out of there, we noticed the last truck (closest to herberts house) had a flame cut sign welded on labeled, "Grampas" *Shudder* |

When I was working doing dog search and rescue work with CARDA (damn rally racing is taking up that time now..) Our uniform looked a lot like park rangers and we had dogs with us. The downside was we weren't allowed to be armed. So off searching in the woods. Kinda look like a cop, I don't speak spanish.. have no gun.. Sounds like an AWESOME combination in some areas around here. I haven't really found another too odd in the woods that wasn't planted for a test. The BEST thing I've found in the woods is a natural springs hot tub after a good solid 10 miles of jeep trails. |

I've had one time driving levathian mine where i came up to a car with 2 people who looked highly highly destressed. (sort of worried me a little bit) they sorta motioned to me but i couldn't tell what. so i kept doing my thing. a little while later i saw cop lights (this is back 5 -10 miles from any pavement) so i drove up slowly ..
turned out to be a search and rescue effort. I reported to them one spot i saw tire tracks going maybe off the road (there was light snow) but at the time it didn't really strike me as odd. the tracks just went off the main road to some little more narrow rougher side road.. also one time on my way camping my buddy and I found firewood that had been falling out of someones truck. i got almost a trunk full in about 10 miles of driving. not really that odd though looking at what others have posted. |

My second year Marshalling, I was positioned alone at an intersection. After parking my car and putting up the banner tape, I started to walk around a bit, and stumbled across a bathtub and many empty packages of benadryl. I've never been more paranoid of the locals showing up than that day!
I guess that's not too weird in the grand scheme of things, since it was 100 Acre Wood. |

I once picked mushrooms while on mushrooms. Some friends and I were staying at cabin out in the woods. Everything was sooooooo beautiful! I got distracted by a droplet of water on a stump for at least ten minutes. Then later that night we had the most delicious chantrelle soup. |

Not really weird, but definitely beautiful. Saw this on my way to Mt. Creek Tree Farm/Snoqaulamie, WA a couple of weeks ago. Not sure how common it is to see a huge evergreen without its needles?

Mark Szczelkun, Professor of Biochemistry from the University's School of Biochemistry and one of the senior authors of the study, said: "This enzyme uses the energy from ATP to force a change in protein conformation rather than to unwind DNA. The movement on DNA thereafter doesn't require an energy input from ATP. Although movement is random, it occurs very rapidly and the enzyme can cover long distances on DNA faster than many ATP-driven motors. This can be thought of as a more energy-efficient way to move along DNA and we suggest that this mechanism may be used in other genetic processes, such as DNA repair."

Very unlike Harry to write someone off - I guess we won't be seeing too much more of Gilberto.
That just leave's us the brazillian between the sticks - I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere!-
Oi.... yow, Colin...see you 'best wishes to Newcastle' reverse logic had the opposite effect, unlike your 'best wishes to Birmingham/West Ham'.
In future, can you keep your best wishes in an orifice best reserved for making sure the sun get's no exposure.!
I bow to a better memory than mine. He must have made some mistakes, Commolli to have signed Berba and Modric, are there anymore, decent players even, he can take credit for?
I am no fan of Commolli either but Berbatov was his signing and he didn't do too bad!
another of mr 'i'm great at making signings' comollis cock ups, 3mill for a player that would've cost zero a few months later ;-)

Morning all... I wonder who, if any , of Commolli's purchases have actually had a positive impact at Spurs. I can think of a few who have had a negative one, starting with Gilberto!
Any thoughts on good buys???

The earliest estimate of growth of skipjack tuna in the Pacific Ocean was that of Aikawa (1937) who examined 20 specimens from the islands off the southern part of Izu Peninsula in the western Pacific and later Aikawa and Kato (1938) examined 20 specimens from the Palau Island area. Kawasaki (1955) estimated the growth of skipjack from the south western sea off Japan, based on the progression of modal groups. In a later publication Kawasaki (1963) gave additional estimates of growth rates based on the data from the area off north eastern Japan. Yokota et al. (1961) estimated the growth rates based on modal progression of skipjack from the Sulu Sea. Brock (1954) studied the growth of skipjack in the area of the Hawaiian islands by examining the progression of modes computed from length frequency studies. Rothschild (1967) estimated the parameters of growth for this species on the basis of 35 recoveries of fish tagged in Hawaiian waters -in 1958 which were at liberty upto 420 days. In the eastern Pacific, Schaefer et al. (1961) examined the growth of skipjack tagged during 1955-1959.

Embankment is a London Underground station in the City of Westminster, known by various names during its history. It is served by the Circle, District, Northern and Bakerloo lines. On the Northern and Bakerloo lines, the station is between Waterloo and Charing Cross stations; on the Circle and District lines, it is between Westminster and Temple and is in Travelcard Zone 1. The station has two entrances, one on Victoria Embankment and the other on Villiers Street. The station is adjacent to Victoria Embankment Gardens and is close to Charing Cross station, Embankment Pier, Hungerford Bridge, Cleopatra's Needle, the Royal Air Force Memorial, the Savoy Chapel and Savoy Hotel and the Playhouse and New Players Theatres.
The station is in two parts: sub-surface platforms opened in 1870 by the District Railway (DR) as part of the company's extension of the Inner Circle eastwards from Westminster to Blackfriars and deep-level platforms opened in 1906 by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR) and 1914 by the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR). A variety of underground and mainline services have operated over the sub-surface tracks and the CCE&HR part of the station was reconstructed in the 1920s.
Sub-surface station[edit]
The station was opened on 30 May 1870 by the DR (now the District line) when the railway extended its line from Westminster to Blackfriars.[3] The construction of the new section of the DR was planned in conjunction with the building of the Victoria Embankment and was achieved by the cut and cover method of roofing over a trench. Due to its proximity to the South Eastern Railway's Charing Cross station, the station was originally called Charing Cross.[4]
The DR connected to the MR (now the Metropolitan line) at South Kensington and, although the two companies were rivals, each company operated its trains over the other's tracks in a joint service known as the Inner Circle. On 1 February 1872, the DR opened a northbound branch from its station at Earl's Court to connect to the West London Extension Joint Railway (WLEJR, now the West London Line) at Addison Road (now Kensington (Olympia)).[3] From that date the Outer Circle service began running over the DR's tracks. The service was run by the North London Railway (NLR) from its terminus at Broad Street (now demolished) in the City of London via the North London Line to Willesden Junction, then the West London Line to Addison Road and the DR to Mansion House – at that time the eastern terminus of the DR.[5]
From 1 August 1872, the Middle Circle service also began operations through South Kensington, running from Moorgate along the MR's tracks on the north side of the Inner Circle to Paddington, then over the Hammersmith & City Railway (H&CR) track to Latimer Road, then, via a now demolished link, on the WLEJR to Addison Road and the DR to Mansion House. The service was operated jointly by the H&CR and the DR.[5]
On 30 June 1900, the Middle Circle service was shortened to terminate at Earl's Court,[6] and, on 31 December 1908, the Outer Circle service was withdrawn from the DR tracks.[7] In 1949, the Metropolitan line-operated Inner Circle route was given its own identity on the tube map as the Circle line.[3]
Deep-level station[edit]
In 1897 the DR obtained parliamentary permission to construct a deep-level tube railway running between Gloucester Road and Mansion House beneath the sub-surface line. The new line was to be an express route using electric trains to relieve congestion on the sub-surface tracks. Only one intermediate station was planned, at Charing Cross, 63 feet (19 m) below the sub-surface platforms.[8] No immediate work was carried out on the deep-level line, and the subsequent take over of the DR by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL) and the resignalling and electrification of the DR's routes between 1903 and 1905 meant that congestion was relieved without needing to construct the deep-level line. The plan was dropped in 1908.[9]
On 10 March 1906, the BS&WR (now the Bakerloo line) opened with its deep-level platforms beneath and at ninety degrees to the platforms of the DR.[3] Although an interchange was provided between the two separate railways, the BS&WR named its station differently as Embankment.[4]
On 6 April 1914, the CCE&HR (now a part of the Northern line) opened a one stop extension south from its terminus at Charing Cross.[3] The extension was constructed to facilitate a better interchange between the BS&WR and CCE&HR.[10] Both lines were owned by the UERL which operated two separate and unconnected stations at the northern end of main line station - Trafalgar Square on the BS&WR and Charing Cross on the CCE&HR (both now part of a combined Charing Cross station). The CCE&HR extension was constructed as a single track tunnel running south from Charing Cross as a loop under the River Thames and back. A single platform was constructed on the northbound return section of the loop,[10] and escalators were installed between both sets of deep-level platforms and the sub-surface station. The interchange time was reduced from three minutes fifteen seconds to one minute and forty-five seconds.[11]
A new station building was constructed that Sir John Betjeman described as "the most charming of all the Edwardian and neo-Georgian Renaissance stations."[12] For the opening of the CCE&HR extension, the deep-level parts of the station were named Charing Cross (Embankment) although the sub-surface platforms remained as Charing Cross. In 1915, this was rectified by changing the name of the whole station to Charing Cross.[4] The CCE&HR station to the north was renamed Strand at the same time[13] (causing a nearby station of the GNP&BR to change its name from Strand to Aldwych).
In the 1920s, as part of the construction of what is now the Northern line, the CCE&HR was extended south to Waterloo and Kennington where it was connected to the City & South London Railway. The loop tunnel under the river was abandoned (although the present northbound Northern line platform follows its course) and two new tunnels were bored south.[14] To this day the southbound Northern line platform is the only one of the four deep level platforms that is not connected to any of the others by deep level walkways. The new extension was opened on 13 September 1926.[3]
The loop itself still exists, although it was penetrated by a bomb and flooded during the Blitz in the Second World War. Fortunately, the loop had been sealed off years before.[15] In September 1938, during the Sudeten Crisis, when war appeared imminent, the Bakerloo and Northern line tunnels at Embankment were temporarily sealed with concrete to protect against flooding through bombing. The blockage was removed after little more than a week once the crisis had passed.[16] At the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, the tunnels were blocked again until electrically powered emergency doors could be installed in the tunnel mouths. The tunnels reopened in December 1939.[17]
On 4 August 1974, the station was once again renamed Charing Cross Embankment.[4] Then, on 12 September 1976, it became Embankment,[4] so that the merged Strand and Trafalgar Square stations could be named Charing Cross.[13]
Fatal accident[edit]
At about 09:55 on 17 May 1938, an eastbound Inner Circle train collided with an eastbound Ealing Broadway–Barking District line train to the east of the station. The Barking train had been stopped at an automatic signal on its way to Temple station. Six passengers were killed and 43 injured. The cause of the accident was a faulty signal, which showed a green "proceed" aspect to the second train even though the line ahead was not clear. This was a result of a wrong connection made during the previous night when some minor alterations to wiring were made.[18]
The station is in London fare zone 1. On the District and Circle lines, the station is between Westminster and Temple, and, on the Northern and Bakerloo lines, it is between Charing Cross and Waterloo. Train frequencies vary throughout the day, but generally District line trains operate every 2–6 minutes from approximately 05:27 to 00:40 eastbound and 05:47 to 00:35 westbound; they are supplemented by Circle line trains every 8–12 minutes from approximately 05:39 to 00:18 clockwise and 05:51 to 00:23 anticlockwise. Northern line trains operate every 2–5 minutes from approximately 05:57 to 00:35 southbound and 05:42 to 00:37 northbound. Bakerloo line trains operate every 2–5 minutes from approximately 05:58 to 00:35 southbound and 05:42 to 00:28 northbound.[19]
On the Bakerloo and Northern lines, 1972 Stock and 1995 Stock are respectively used.[20] On the District line D78 Stock and S Stock are used with the latter scheduled to replace the remaining D78 Stock by 2016.[21][22][23] The Circle line uses S Stock.[20]
London Buses night route N550 serve the station.[24]

The GTO/PRO Automatic Slide Gate Operator is designed for chain link, ornamental iron, and tubular steel gates. This gate opener is battery powered; the battery charge is maintained by either the AC Transformer (included) or the Solar Panel. The battery acts as its own backup during a loss of power service and will provide power for many gate opening and closing cycles before needing a recharge. The heavy duty, 14 V AC 40 VA transformer can provide enough power for continuous cycling! While solar panels are an option, and will provide many cycles per day, they will not provide enough power for continuous cycle duty. You must use the transformer for continuous cycle duty. The GTO/PRO SL 1000 automatic gate opener line includes operators for both single and dual installations. GTO/PRO slide gate openers have adjustable auto-close and obstruction sensing features. GTO offers a full line of accessories for your operator such as Entry Transmitters, Digital Keypads, Concrete Mounting Pad, Solar Panels, etc. GTO/PRO gate operators are also "add-on ready" for more sophisticated options such as exit loops, card readers, exit wands, and more. All GTO/PRO Automatic Gate Openers are covered by a Two Year Warranty.
The GTO/PRO SL-1000/1200 B "locking" slider The GTO/PRO SL-1000B (and SL-1200B for dual gates) features a built-in brake that locks the gate in the closed position. The brake automatically releases when the gate is activated. The "locking" slider has all the same great features as the PRO SL-1000, including continuous cycle capability, adjustable obstruction sensing, etc.

After weeks of Market Basket worker protests, shopper boycotts and corporate leaders asking workers to return to their jobs, a deal may be in the works to get the embattled grocery chain back on track.
On Wednesday, Gov. Deval Patrick said he spoke to both the Market Basket Board of Directors and Artie T. Demoulas and believes a deal is close.
"I have spoken with the chair of the board, who is one of the board of independent directors, and I've spoken to Arthur T. Demoulas," Patrick said. "I think everybody is interested in a sale. My understanding is they either have an understanding or are very close to a price ... and they are trying to work out some of the other terms."
Patrick also urged workers to return to their jobs.
Uncut: Gov. Patrick's comments about Market Basket negotiations
"I think its important for the workers to understand, the associates to understand they can go back to work and they would do a service to the people served by Market Basket, the customers and the communities," he said.
The independent board issued a statement Wednesday saying a deal had not been reached and negotiations were ongoing.
"All we seek is to get our associates back to work earning a steady income so our customers can go back to shopping. In return, we can't offer a resolution to the deal negotiations, but have and will continue to offer a way to return to normal while negotiations continue," the independent board said in a statement.
The board applauded the governor's urging of employees to return to work and warned against "playing with fire."
"Playing with fire that will hurt us all -- associates, customers, and communities -- is a no-win situation, and we all need it to end," the board said.
The latest twist comes one day after hundreds of Market Basket employees received letters with an ultimatum to return to work by Friday or lose their jobs.
The letters, from CEOs Felicia Thornton and Jim Gooch, which went to warehouse and office workers, said "We are writing one final time, to invite you to return to work and perform your job obligations."
For workers who do not return to work, "the company will consider you to have abandoned your job, thereby ending your employment with the company," the letter said. Some 200 employees received the letter, Market Basket said.
The letter was sent only to those employees that have failed to report to work at Market Basket headquarters and distribution center.
On Monday, three independent Market Basket board members called again for the supermarket chain's protesting employees to return to work, and customers to return, and said they are available to negotiate an end to a battle over control of the company.
The directors said last week they had proposed that fired CEO Arthur T. Demoulas and his management team return, without taking control, to assist a return to normal operations as talks continue on his bid to buy out other family members who own a majority of the company. Demoulas, through a spokeswoman, rejected that as a "disingenuous" attempt to have him stabilize the company while they consider selling it to another bidder.
Demoulas had offered Aug. 3 to return as CEO during the talks.
On Sunday, he said in a statement issued by a spokeswoman that his offers to buy Market Basket "have been rejected, not on the basis of price, but with counterproposals that have been laden with onerous terms that are far beyond comparable transactions."
Demoulas was fired in June by a board controlled by his rival cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas.
The power struggle has led to protests by thousands of employees and a boycott by customers, leading to a steep drop in sales at the chain with 71 stores in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.
The shareholders aligned with Arthur S. Demoulas -- the current head of the board -- said they were willing to accept the purchase price offered by Arthur T. Demoulas, but added that he was unwilling to accept financing for the deal that was secured by collateral and that included a reasonable payment schedule.
The offer for the private company has not been disclosed, but an industry publication estimates the company's value at up to $3.5 billion.
Arthur T. Demoulas said his offer was made at a "pre-crisis" valuation of the company. His spokeswoman said he hopes the rival family faction will reach an agreement "before it is too late to save this company."

Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris (Wikipedia)
Via Tyler Cowen, I'd pay to see this:
From watching Einstein on the Beach:
One can't really figure out much about Einstein or his works except that perhaps he loved trains and paper planes, he played the violin, and his works has something to do with nuclear bomb.
I made it to the opera in Berkeley tonight. I was impressed how the composer sympathetically conveys the experience of the President as he majestically gets off a long plane ride from the US to China. Oh wait, that's the other canonical late 20th Century American opera.
Ok, back to Einstein on the Beach. I can't decide if it was crazy, crazy good, or the whole experience was just a dream. Probably all three. Seeing is believing, in this case.
While the opera conveys next to nothing about Albert Einstein, it's definitiely a consciousness revolution take on the first half of the 20th Century. With hindsight, 1900-1950 should be classified as crazy. So those 1930s-born creatives, Philip Glass, Robert Wilson, and Lucinda Childs, filtered that modern atomic era through a 60s/70s aesthetic. Call it a "double crazy."
I look forward to a future production, by younger artists, to see if the work can escape its creative context.
Doctor Atomic, by John Adams, in a way, covers the same subject, except that Adams is a baby boomer rather than from the Silent Generation (e.g. Colin Powell, Walter Mondale, Woody Allen, Martin Luther King, Jr., ElizabethTaylor, Elvis Presley as well as Glass/Wilson/Childs). That Adams opera probably won't be a canonic work, despite some early enthusiasm on my part.
Einstein's 4.5 hours was long but it was like a plane ride in that after a couple hours, the momentum started to accumulate and before I knew it, we were on our final, crazy, descent. Similarly, I didn't feel like climbing over my seat mates given the opera had no formal intermission (for a 4.5 hour production!).
In general, the flight/opera was smooth although I found it hard to hear, in the balcony anyway, the charming and perplexing text at the beginning and end e.g.:
It could be a balloon. It could be Frankie. It could be very fresh and clean. All these are the days, my friends, and these are the days, my friends.
Plot spoiler here.
And the work, although dramatic, didn't have the live physical impact of say, Music in Twelve Parts and Koyaanisqatsi. Still, a memorable show.
Personal note: after choosing family over art last night, I had to choose art over sports tonight. I missed the entire Giants World Series game since the start times of the opera and the game were, for some reason, synchronized.
Although I closely follow the San Francisco Giants, I was a boyhood fan of the Detroit Tigers and I may ultimately regret saying this, but I hope the Tigers win on Sunday. The spouse and I are going to the matinee of Einstein on the Beach tomorrow afternoon so a loss would let me watch what could be the final game on Monday.
Go Giants (sooner or later) and go Philip Glass...
I've waited two years since the announcement to see Einstein on the Beach tonight in Berkeley. To prepare, I spent much of the summer listening over and over and over to the (now) three recordings.
Alas, today, instead, I helped an elderly loved one move from assisted living to a memory care residence. No regrets...
Anthony Tommasini reviews Einstein on the Beach, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music:
...exhilarating revival...compelling lead performers...nonsensical yet alluring text...calming and sweetly mystical...exuberant and crazed... suited to current musical politics and social culture...the brilliant violinist Jennifer Koh...original, visionary and generous work...moments of ominous intensity...two trial scenes are highlights...dazzling choreography... if it were trimmed...
Einstein? (andreas_fischler)
Instructions to improve your experience at all 4.5 hours of Einstein on the Beach:
Act One opens with Train (23 minutes). Train sets the tone and pace of the show, as well as introduces the first musical theme. You'll have a better idea after watching this scene of how your patience for EINSTEIN will hold up.

so cute and exactly as advertised Elastic at the bottom makes the top poofy, but if you wear it with tight jeans you won't look pregnant :) It's actually much cuter than that description implies, but it does have the elastic bottom so if you aren't a fan don't get the shirt. The cut and color are lovely.

I haven't had a chance to wear it yet, but my 19 year old daughter happened to pick it out and asked if she could wear it. So it def. appeals to all ages. I told her NO. cuz I haven't even worn it yet, but gave in and let her wear my black one. Can't wait to wear it, and will update if any additional info is needed.

DENTON, Texas — The Missouri volleyball team recovered from an upset Saturday afternoon, going on to share a three-way tie for the title at the North Texas Invitational.
Northwestern State defeated No. 15 Missouri 3-0 on Saturday afternoon, ending a 35-game regular season winning streak for the Tigers.
Missouri went on to face North Texas in the final, winning the last match in five sets. The game scores were 17-25, 25-17, 31-29, 18-25, 15-12.
"I am proud of how our kids responded, not only to losing this afternoon but responding to getting beat pretty good in sets one and four," coach Wayne Kreklow said. "We showed a lot of poise down the stretch and a lot of mental toughness. To pull away the way we did in the wild third set was huge and we did a great job finishing tonight. It was a great team effort."
The Tigers share the UNT Invite title with North Texas and Northwestern State.

A river pageant for the Queen's Jubilee
RAW VISION: More than one thousand boats prepare to sail down the Thames in a flotilla tribute to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee on Sunday.
PT0M0S 620 349- Autoplay OnOff

- Lady in red: Kate wows with new McQueen dress
- Stephen Fry leads criticism of BBC's 'tedious' coverage
The Queen wore white. The Duchess of Cambridge wore red - an unhappy choice on a barge carpeted and upholstered in precisely the same shade - and the weather wore grey: grey skies, grey river, and an unceasing grey drizzle of rain.
I don't see any sign of her working less hard. You never see her say, I'm going to step back a little
"The weather really has deteriorated," mourned one BBC announcer to another, as their cameraman's lens dripped with water. As did the caps of the sailors raising three cheers for her majesty as she sailed down the Thames towards Tower Bridge: they ripped off their hats and swung them in circles and the rain that had been collecting there sprayed around them.

But, while the wind whipped the white shawl the Queen wrapped around herself against the cold, and she thought it prudent to use her upholstered throne as a windbreak, she was steadfast and true.
She stood her ground throughout the nearly two hours of journeying along the Thames, not sitting down once despite her 86 years, waving a white-gloved hand at the tens of thousands cheering and brandishing their Union Jacks.
The Queen wore a white coat trimmed with silver studs and a silver starburst brooch. The coat was designed by Angela Taylor, and the stark colour was chosen to stand out clearly against the red and gold of the barge.

Other than the rain and cloud, the weather was kind.
The biting east wind was not so strong that the rowboats had to be abandoned, and the current not so strong that the historic narrow-boats - the boats that had plied the nation's trade along its canals for much of its history - had to be left behind.
The Queen was taken to her barge on the launch of the now-decommissioned Royal Yacht Britannia after being greeted by a spontaneous rendition of the national anthem from the crowds.
The Duchess of Cambridge brought a splash of vivid colour on an overcast day.
The barge had been decorated with 10,000 flowers that had been cultivated for months in the palace gardens and its interior was designed to look the the inside of the Orient Express.
Vessels kept to a pre-arranged formation, keeping a boat's length apart from those in front and behind, because "if one boat starts to veer, they all will", said pageant co-ordinator Ian Welsh.
To the accompaniment of booming foghorns and tooting steam whistles, the 1000 vessels motored, steamed and rowed their way along the Thames in a classic piece of British pageantry.

A collection of small ships used to rescue stranded troops from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940 was led by the Motor Torpedo boat 102, the flagship of the officer who co-ordinated the evacuation.
Tower Bridge gave a different kind of salute. The drawbridge was raised to its full height in a royal salute as the Queen's barge, the Spirit of Chartwell, passed beneath it.
A huge cheer went up whenever the barge came into sight of the crowds. Hungarian Laura Konig, 34, who lives in the London borough of Sutton, said: "I really enjoy the music, when the boats with bands come by it's brilliant and the atmosphere is so cool. The weather could be better but apart from that it's an amazing day."

But dozens of spectators at Tower Bridge were disappointed as security staff blocked off pathways due to fears of overcrowding, more than an hour before the flotilla was due to arrive.
Some travellers trying to get into the city found themselves blocked from boarding overcrowded trains, a hint that the city's transport might not hold up to the pressures of the Olympics.
Earlier last night, British Prime Minister David Cameron said he did not think the Queen would ever abdicate.
Elizabeth's jubilant Jubilee
Britain is marking Queen Elizabeth II's 60th year on the throne with a four-day holiday weekend of ceremony, symbolism and street parties. This is only the second time in its history that the UK has celebrated the Diamond Jubilee of a monarch. The Queen, along with all the members of the royal family, will participate in a River Pageant with a flotilla of 1000 boats accompanying them down the Thames, a free concert at Buckingham Palace, a carriage procession and a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.

"I don't see any sign of her working less hard. You never see her say, I'm going to step back a little," he told the BBC.
In an address to both houses of Parliament earlier this year, the Queen "rededicated" herself to the service of her country for the rest of her life.
Mr Cameron said he believed she will devote herself to her duties until the last and he dismissed suggestions she might step down early if her health suffers, or that she might want to be succeeded by her grandson instead of her eldest son.

"I think both those things are out of the question," Mr Cameron said.
More than 1000 republican demonstrators mounted a protest where they chanted "Monarchy out!"
The Diamond Jubilee river pageant set a new world record for the number of boats taking part in a parade.
The number of boats making their way to Tower Bridge in London easily surpassed the previous record of 327 boats in Bremerhaven, Germany last year.
The record was confirmed by Guinness World Records.
One thousand vessels were expected to complete the pageant.
The new record adds to a substantial list of world records the Queen and her family already hold, according to the Guinness Book of Records' website.
The Queen is the world's longest reigning living queen and will, on September 9, 2015, become the longest reigning British monarch ever when she surpasses Queen Victoria's reign of 63 years, seven months and three days, the website says.
But it adds that the title for the overall longest reigning living monarch is held by King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) of Thailand, who ascended to the throne on June 9, 1946 and has reigned for nearly 66 years.
At the age of 86, the Queen is the oldest British monarch in history, four years older than King George III (1738-1820), who was king until the age of 82. King George III reigned from 1760 to 1820.
She also holds the record for the oldest British queen, which she took on December 21, 2007 from her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, who reigned until the age of 81 years and 244 days, the website added.
The website said: "The Queen's lengthy reign gives rise to another Guinness World Records title, longest heir apparent.
"Since his mother acceded to the throne on February 6, 1952, Prince Charles has been heir apparent for over 60 years, passing the mark set by his great-great-grandfather Edward VII, who finally took to the throne upon the death of Queen Victoria on January 22, 1901 after more than 59 years as heir apparent."
The Queen's image holds the world record for the most currencies featuring the same individual.
Her likeness appears on the coinage of at least 45 different countries - more countries than any other living monarch.
Queen Victoria appeared on the coinage of 21 countries and the image of King George V appeared on 19.
The Queen also retains the wealthiest queen title, with a personal fortune estimated at £310 million ($495 million), the website adds.

62 killed, 100 wounded in Batticaloa blast, official figures on casualty low[TamilNet, Friday, 17 September 2010, 08:15 GMT]Around 62 persons including Sri Lankan policemen, civilians and two Chinese nationals have been killed in a massive explosion that rocked the Karadiyan-aa'ru area, situated 20 km northwest of Batticaloa city, Friday around 12:30 p.m., initial reports from the area said. Containers with explosives parked close the police station exploded destroying the entire police station. The explosion also affected the nearby agricultural department building. There were at least three containers with dynamites intended for road construction which was operated by Chinese workers, the reports further said. Around 100 persons, including engineers from the South, wounded in the blast were being rushed to hospital. Ex LTTE members deployed in the construction work under Colombo's publicized rehabilitation programme were likely among the victims, a local NGO official told reporters in Colombo. The Sri Lankan Defence ministry Friday evening put the casualty figures at more than 20 killed. Police officials who earlier said casualty figures were more than 50 killed and scores wounded, reduced their official figures to 26 killed, including 10 policemen and 7 civilians. More than 50 were injured, according to the official figures by the SL Police. Sri Lankan Police officials ruled out the possibility of sabotage and maintained that it was a tragic accident. Meanwhile, officials at the hospital have been instructed to remain tight-lipped on casualty details. The catastrophic blast at the police station was an "industrial explosion" of containers that belong to a Chinese company according to the official news by the Sri Lankan police. Following the blast, Sri Lankan Special Task Force (STF) personnel and police were rushed to the area. The Karadiyanaa'ru police station was completely destroyed as well as several other buildings in the area. The injured were being admitted to the Batticoloa Government hospital and they were being treated for burn injuries, police and hospital officials said. The explosives-laden containers were part of the Eastern Province development programme. Chronology: |

Michigan State vs. Wisconsin, 10/27/2012 15:30 Point Spread: -6/-110 Wisconsin Saturday's NCAAF Free Pick: Wisconsin -6 Even though Michigan State covered last week as a 8-point dog at Michigan, I can't see them covering the spread on the road against a Wisconsin team that is playing it's best football of the season. The Spartans ended up losing to Michigan 10-12 on a last second field goal, giving them two heartbreaking losses in a row. They lost at home to Iowa the previous week in overtime in a game they dominated up until the final minutes. This team invested so much energy into beating their instate rivals that I just can't see them coming out with the type of energy needed on either side of the ball to keep up with Wisconsin. Michigan State is just 15-30 ATS off a road loss against a conference rival since 1992. Wisconsin has scored 27 or more points in each of their last five games and have finally got the running game going. There's no question Michigan State has a top notch defense, but it's going to be hard for them to keep playing at a high level with the lack of confidence they have in their offense. It's also worth noting that the Spartans have allowed 100 or more yards in three of their four Big Ten games. Not only do I think the Badgers will be able to move the ball and put up points on the Spartans, but I'm extremely confident that the Wisconsin defense will be able to shutdown Michigan State's poor excuse of an offense. The Badgers have held five of their eight opponents to 14 points or less, including each of their last three. Wisconsin is 8-1 ATS in home games after 2 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons and are 16-4 ATS in home games off 2 straight wins against conference rivals since 1992. BET THE BADGERS! To see more of Steve Janus's plays click here.

A young woman is on the brooklyn bridge, about to commit suicide. A sailor sees her as she is about to jump and shouts "Wait! Don't do it! I'm leaving on a ship to Europe. I'll sneak you on board so that you can come with me and start all over!" "Okay, I guess so" the woman says. So he sneaks her on board and stows her away. Every night he brings her food and they have sex all night long. This goes on for 3 weeks. One day, the captain stumbles across her in her hiding place. "What are you doing on board?" he demands. "Well, I have an agreement with one of your crewmen. He is taking me to Europe; every night he brings me food and then we screw." "You're certainly being screwed," said the captain, "this is the Staten Island Ferry!"

Film ReviewBy Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatStar Trek - The Motion Picture Directed by Robert Wise Paramount Home Video 12/79 DVD/VHS Feature Film G 1. For 79 weeks in 1966 to 1969, fans of the TV series Star Trek ventured into "Space, the final frontier" as the Enterprise crew carried out its mission to "explore new worlds, to seek out new life and civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." 2. David Gerrold, a writer for the series, remarked: "The Enterprise is cosmic 'Mary Worth' meddling her way across the galaxy, solving problems as she goes." Star Trek has lived on in the hearts of its fans long after its run ended on television. A directory lists 19 pages of fan clubs and, in honor of the show, the White House even named the new space shuttle "Enterprise." 3. Star Trek The Motion Picture which at $40 - $50 million cost is one of the most expensive movies ever made follows more in the spirit of Close Encounter of the Third Kind than of Star Wars. The storyline zeroes in on the perennial science fiction theme of the interaction between human beings and machines downplays George Lucas' role of outer space as the successor to the Wild West. 4. Isaac Asimov: "Science fiction is an escape into reality. It deals with today, and more importantly tomorrow." That is the approach producer Gene Roddenberry takes with this film and it has elicited a very negative response from some critics and the segment of the movie-going public which craves another Star Wars. 5. The special effects by Douglas Trumball and John Dykstra are quite spectacular if you are willing to surrender yourself to an awe of outer space or a curiosity about technology and its manifold mysteries. The pace of the story is quite slow; music by Jerry Goldsmith punctuates the most dramatic scenes. 6. After two years in drydock, the remodeled Enterprise is sent off into space to intercept an "alien force" heading toward the earth and disintegrating everything in its path. Commander James T. Kirk (William Shatner) is called up to lead his search-and-destroy mission. Other show regulars who join the Enterprise are Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), and Scotty (James Doohan). Stephen Collins stars as the demoted captain of the ship, and Persis Khambatta as a beautiful navigator from the planet Delta is also featured. 7. The "alien force" turns out to be a "living machine" which has accumulated more and more intelligence. The situation posed by screenplay writer Harold Livingston is quite intriguing in the future we will be radically altered as a result of the machines we have invented. And there may come a time when humans and machines will merge becoming extensions of each other. Such an evolutionary development is probed in the finale of Star Trek The Motion Picture.
