Reading Drama: Content
Reading Drama: Language
Reading Drama: Structure
Of all fictional forms, drama comes closest to virtual transcription of speech. It relies on simulating the language of everyday speech as well as the encounters and interaction of speech: lying, confronting, prevaricating, concealing, admitting, proclaiming, and a wealth of other social/linguistic interactions.
And of all the literary forms, drama is the one in which the author/dramatist almost never speaks directly to the audience/reader. (The use of an onstage narrator�as with the Stage Manager in Thornton Wilder's Our Town� is relatively rare.) Similarly, few dramatists create characters as vehicles for their thoughts or values, as in some works of George Bernard Shaw. For the most part, dramatists convey ideas through their characters and the plot, rather than in a direct embodiment of themselves in the way novelists do with narrators and poets do with personas.
If discussion of novels focuses on content, and discussion of poetry on language, discussion of drama perhaps focuses most on structure--not only the structure of the unfolding story, but also on the interrelationships of characters. Drama is about the "dramatic," about conflict and resolution, about compelling actions and reactions, conflicts and discovery. Reading Drama: Content We can use the same criteria of content with drama as we used with novels and stories: character, action, and setting. With dramatic performance, however, we must add several additional elements. Putting on a play involves not only actors, but also a set designer, a costume designer, and a director. The director controls the action. The set and costume designer contribute to creating a visual representation of the setting. Reading Drama: Language Since drama consists of the spoken word, language plays a role in drama insofar as the language of the characters offers clues to their backgrounds, feelings, and personalities, and to changes in feeling throughout the play.. Reading Drama: Structure As with stories, we can examine drama with two understandings of structure. On the one hand, we have the linear unfolding of the plot from scene to scene, act to act. Drama often includes contrasting subplots that reinforce or set the main plot in additional perspective . On the other hand, we have the structure of the conflict itself, and can identify elements running throughout the text in patterns of behavior and events.

Besakih in Mythology
The Besakih's name is come from the word of Basuki, the old language from Sanskrit Wasuki, and then it become the Ancient Java Language. In this Sanskrit, the Basuki means congratulation. In mythology of Samudramanthana has mentioned that Basuki is a dragon that twines the Mount Mandara. The omission has come from tradition megalithic which had been indicated that it had to be sanctified place. It seems, the Besakih is coming from very old era which is far before the existence of Hinduism influence. Hereinafter, an Ancient Bali king of Sri Kesari Warmadewa found the Merajan Selonding Temple in this temple complex area. He also commands to build the Blanjong Monument that is located in Sanur Village. The Besakih Temple complex is built pursuant to cosmos balance. It is based on the nature conception which is disseminating the fundamental temple complex that is arranged to pursuant of the way direction. So, this building can deputize nature as symbolic of the world balance existence.
Besakih Temple in Hindu's Philosophy
As we familiarize, that the point direction way like East, South, West, North, and middle as center point and each direction is named by Mandala. In Hindu philosophy, Panca Dewata is manifestation of Siwa God. Like Penataran Agung Temple as center, we find in its courtyard conception show the solidarity conception between the original Indonesia culture namely tradition megalithic in form of Punden Berundak-undak with the Hinduism concept. The ancient omissions which is existing in Besakih Temple complex can be classified into 2 types those are omission pertained by megalithic tradition and classic era. Besakih Temple beside as the altar for Hindu people in Bali, it is also as tourist destination which is a lot of visited by tourists.
Besakih, Place to Visit in Bali
Besakih Temple is located in the plateau area which is covered by the cool atmosphere and Mount Agung as a back drop. From the top of temple building, we can see the beautiful panorama of nature from the temple area to the ocean. It is situated in cool area with the light breeze and unique temple buildings spread out in the temple complex will create the peaceful atmosphere. It is ideally for the people who did the meditation and now, the Besakih Temple is opened for tourist and it is the great place to visit in Bali.
How to locate Besakih Temple?
It is very easy to find this temple in Bali where most of the people have known it in particular the Balinese Hindu. It is about 2 hours away from Bali's International Airport by car to the east part of Bali and right located in Besakih Village, Rendang – Karangasem Regency. You may join the Besakih Temple Tour, the exciting tour package to visit the places of interest on the way to this temple

text: British music chain HMV to shut 66 stores: administrators on Feb 7, 2013 @ 10:45 AMCollapsed British music retailer HMV will close 66 of its stores over the next two months in a move that will axe nearly 1,000 jobs, administrators Deloitte announced on Thursday."The joint administrators of HMV today confirm that 66 of the group's stores have been identified for closure," Deloitte said in a statement."The affected stores employ 930 staff. No fixed date is set for the closure of these stores which will continue to trade in the meantime."However, it is expected that closures will take place over the next one to two months."The group, which currently has 220 outlets in Britain, had last month slumped into administration -- the process whereby a troubled company calls upon independent expert financial help in an attempt to remain operational.HMV was the nation's last remaining high-street music and video specialist retailer but it succumbed to heavy debts and unrelenting pressure from online rivals such as Amazon and iTunes."As part of our ongoing review of HMV's financial position, we have now completed a review of the store portfolio and have identified 66 loss making stores for closure," added joint administrator Nick Edwards in the statement."This step has been taken in order to enhance the prospects of securing the business' future as a going concern."He also expressed confidence that they would secure the group's future after the restructuring."We continue to receive strong support from staff and are extremely grateful to them for their commitment during an understandably difficult period."All other key stakeholders remain very supportive and I continue to be hopeful of securing a future for the restructured business."Hopes of a rescue deal emerged late last month after restructuring firm Hilco agreed to buy the debt of HMV, in an agreement which effectively handed it control of the company. No financial details were disclosed.Back in 2011, Hilco had bought HMV Canada for £2 million ($3.2 million, 2.4 million euros) in a transaction which had allowed parent group HMV to secure a new borrowing facility at the time.rfj/wai

[This is a follow up to this and most of the other responses] I think
a quick summary of various responses I have seen say: People are _not_
building C compilers any longer. Instead, they are instead building
compiler suites, or at least C++ compilers, which target C as a
special case. In either case, C does not get anything over the other
compilers. And, of course, it is more complicated to get these
multiple compilers right, but people choose to spend their resources
My comment: I know (and probably agree with) the trend; it means that
in practice, C compilers are being restricted to the level of the
other compilers. It would be interesting to see what would happen if
somebody said - lets write _just_ a C compiler, and throw the same
kinds of resources at that.

Actually, we have been waiting for machines (memory size + CPU speed)
to come to the point where we don't have to take short-cuts to keep
compile time speeds up, and where we can actually afford to keep and
manipulate large graphs in memory. (Think of what you can do with 64
M; now try doing it in 64 k).
You couldn't afford to do IPA or even whole function analysis with
small memories, even if you know how to do it theoretically.
(Of course, to contradict myself the original IBM FORTRAN 66 compiler
probably had some flavor of most of the intra-function optimizations
that are commonly in use today)

Smaller than current C++ compilers - maybe, if they don't keep
bloating the language; smaller than an equivalent C-only compiler - I

You would be hard-pressed to find another coach in the NBA with the kind of perpetual optimism that Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens has.
His team is 4-7 after dropping their third straight on Saturday at Minnesota, with each loss looking worst than its predecessor.
Despite the losing streak, Stevens maintains an almost stoic perspective during what's likely to be his darkest days as the Boston Celtics' head coach.
But on Saturday there was something different.
The confidence he has in this team is still there.
But for the first time the weight of this team's losing ways seemed to affect him in a very visible, real way.
He'll continue to show up to work early and stay late, searching for ways to win games.
But the reality of what he has at hand is starting to sink in.
Coming from the college ranks, gaining a proper perspective on what he's working with and what he has to compete against, takes time.
Now that he's 11 games into this NBA coaching thing, Stevens knows his team has to play well every night just to be competitive.
That's why actually losing to Minnesota in itself isn't that big a deal.
The Timberwolves should have won Saturday's game because they're a more talented team.
But are they 18 points better than the Celtics?
And while it would be easy to point to Jeff Green's 0-for-6 shooting night as the reason for the Celtics' loss, that would be extremely short-sighted and just flat-out wrong.
Fans worried about the Celtics winning too many games this season and missing out on one of the top picks in the 2014 NBA draft should not worry.
Boston will win some games, but at the end of the day this is not a squad that's good enough to get into the playoffs as they are constructed.
The return of Rajon Rondo (still out with torn right ACL injury) would obviously improve their chances at success, but even having him back probably won't be enough.
The team you see now is not built to win at a high level.
They are built to compete night-in and night-out, providing the kind of optimism that many - like Stevens - believe will shape who they are this season and in seasons to come.
But that theory was rocked on Saturday.
Minnesota didn't win because they were the better team or because they had better players.
They won because they worked harder for loose balls, they did a better job of closing out on shooters around the basket and on the perimeter; they fought for rebounds more aggressively, stuck closer to their game plan.
And the result?
An 18-point loss for Boston that truthfully could have been worse.
If you're Stevens, that has to hurt more than anything about this latest loss.
Not that the Celtics lost, but that they lost and didn't really compete other than a few minutes here and there.
Indeed, Boston had their moments on Saturday when they made the game mildly interesting.
But there was never a point where the Celtics' runs felt like anything more than just a commercial break from the Kevin Love-Nikola Pekovic show.
"We just looked like (expletive)," Celtics Jeff Green told reporters. "That's all it was. We played like (expletive). Plain and simple."
And in the course of a long, 82-game season, there are going to be nights when that happens.
The players know this and so does Stevens.
But Saturday's loss was different not only in its decisive ending, but its potential beginning.
Boston doesn't play again until Tuesday at Houston which is when they face a Rockets team that will be an even tougher foe than the Timberwolves.
But with that comes another opportunity to not just quiet their naysayers, but also quiet those doubts that are surely beginning to creep into their thoughts during this rough patch of the season.
This team needs another taste of success.
Yes, a win would be great.
But at this point, giving themselves a chance to win - better known to us as competing - is even more important.
The Red Sox' woes continue at home as they drop a 5-1 decision to the Tampa Bay Rays, with Clay Buchholz slammed for four runs in the first two innings.

"Great Book"
Good book, sucked me in from the very beginning. I'm not sure I want to see the movie, the book was so good.
"Good Summer Read"
Figuring out the past is difficult, but rewarding. Just knowing who you are and where you came from is important
"An okay read"
I'm not sure. Purchased this book when it was on sale for $4.95. The story was okay, but it felt like it dragged out.
I think this is the of this series for me. It just wasn't to my taste.
I wouldn't really call it a romance, it is more a coming of age story, and dealing with the past.
"It way okay"
It is a basic story that has been told over and over again. This one had a different twist but it was very simple. I thought we would have gone farther in the story than were it ended. I'm not sure I will get the next book.
Propbably not
I would listen to this book over and over again
Rachel is by far my favorite character, but I was drawn to Wynona. For such a small part to play in the story, she was a strong person, never giving up.
When Rachel took off and ditched the body guard. Running across the street to catch the bus, and feeling of satisifcation just made me laugh.
If Kim's books were shorter, I would listen to it in one setting. Since they are longer, I can enjoy them for much longer periods of time. I love the story and the reader.
"Average, don't disappoint in book 5"
I love Cassandra Clare's writing style. This book was disappointing, Clary is really starting to get whinny and will Jace ever learn. The entire tormented soul thing is getting kind of tiring. The book is worth the read, but if the next one is the same then it won't be a series I'll continue
"Not impressed"
I've been reading the series and this book was a massive let down. I hope the series either picks up or just ends.
"Loved it!!"
Loved the story, loved the narrator, and loved the characters. I actually want to see the movie, which is rare for me. Great book, entertaining and will make you laugh out loud. Strong women always make a great story!! Read it!
"Interesting read"
I needed a new book, a new author, something different. This was a good book, it did pull me in but not enough to actually look into the series.
"Missed the Mark"
We read the first 2 books, and this one was just kind of drawn out and painful. We had to read it because it was a series right?? Honestly not worth it and we will probably stop here in the series.

Performance-degradation model for Li4Ti5O12-based battery cells used in wind power applications
Publikation: Forskning - peer review › Konferenceartikel i proceeding
Energy storage systems based on Lithium-ion batteries have the potential to mitigate the negative impact of wind power grid integration on the power system stability, which is caused by the characteristics of the wind. This paper presents a performance model for a Li4Ti5O12/LiMO2 battery cell. For developing the performance model an EIS-based electrical modelling approach was followed. The obtained model is able to predict with high accuracy charge and discharge voltage profiles for different ages of the battery cell and for different charging/discharging current rates. Moreover, the ageing behaviour of the battery cell was analysed for the case of accelerated cycling ageing with a certain mission profile.

On February 19th, Myah Walker gave birth toFaith Hope Walker, an anencephalic baby. Myah had been informed of her baby's prognosis in the middle of the pregnancy. But Myah decided that "even if she was unconscious like the doctors said and lived for only a few seconds or minutes --even if she was stillborn --it was worth it to me."
Faith is now 48 days old. Moreover, "apart from a sterile dressing on her head that needs to be changed once a day, Faith lives a completely normal life. She isn't suffering or sickly, like you would expect. With no tubes and no machines supporting her life, she continues to thrive."

Ansar il islam/weapons
Kurdistan has been fighting for its independence the last 50 years. There are millions of weapons and mines in kurdistan whch were left by iraqi, irani and turkish troops which devastated the country.
Another threat is the Ansar il islam, a fundemantalist organization.Nobody can say if ansar il islam can again become a danger(the organization was "erased" in the iraq war). -
thats not a joke: You won't be abe to use public toiletts in kurdistan!Many of them are unusable for foreigners(you need much "precision"), many are dirty. If you are sensitive in this case(like I am) only use the toilett in the hotel.
Like anywhere else in Iraq, Cash is king.
Forget about credit card and traveller checks.
Take some green back with you to pay all your expenses.

LAX Not Actually Getting Free WiFi
Despite being one of the nation's busiest airports, LAX is having a really hard time adjusting to the 21st century. Most glaringly, as we're sure you've noticed, L.A.'s international hub lacks the next most important element after air and water: free Wifi. Up to now, T-Mobile has been charging a whopping $9.99 to connect. (Perhaps contributing to LAX's status as most hated airport for business travelers.)
But all that was scheduled to change as soon as early September 2012...
... when Advanced Wireless Group, a Miami company, planned to set up service. The airport would have paid Advanced Wireless $663,333 to provide two years of wifi throughout LAX.
The only downside? Half-minute advertisements at the start of each session, much like those tacked onto the beginning of YouTube videos and other online TV episodes. Annoying, yes, but a hell of a lot better than $9.99.
Yesterday, however, the L.A. City Council -- who just can't stand to see us so happy/convenienced -- threw a wrench in the contract, demanding that LAX open the bidding process to other companies besides Advanced Wireless.
Which, we admit, is generally a good idea, and one the L.A. City Council itself might try adhering to once in a while.
But a deal as relatively cheap (and dire) as the LAX wifi contract is the wrong good-government battle for City Councilmembers to fight.
Take, for example, Councilman Joe Buscaino's suggestion for an alternate bidder: Boingo Wireless. Yes, it's a local company, but according to the L.A. Times, it's also "the largest provider of wireless Internet access in the world" -- a real mom-and-pop sob story.
Airport commissioners, who admittedly treat the LAX budget like a bottomless pit of fake arcade coins (always arguing that it's private income, when really these are indirect taxpayer funds that could easily be used elsewhere), now complain that the Advanced WIreless contract was vetted by the L.A. City Attorney, and that a wifi bidding war could take up to two years.
While that might be a bit of an exaggeration, we don't have half that long to wait. Soon, the T-Mobile contract will be up, and LAX passengers won't even have the crummy $9.99 option to fall back on.
According to the Times:
The council now has 21 days to review the matter and decide whether to accept or reject the contract. A two-thirds majority vote is required. The council's Trade, Commerce and Tourism Committee is scheduled to discuss the matter next week.
You want to see community outrage? Go ahead and quarantine LAX into the only Internet-free bubble in modern urban America. We dare you.

If someone asked you to name the prettiest cities in Europe what would be the first names to pop into your head? It would be reasonable to assume that the majority of people would produce a list topped by usual suspects like Paris, Rome and Venice. However in a survey that was run by USA Today there were some real surprises, although none more so than the news that all three of the above were beaten by Chester!
That's right, the North-West's hidden gem finished in a more than reputable fifth position and in the end was the only city in the United Kingdom to make the top ten! Of course here at Sykes Cottages we are more than aware of why Chester deserves this accolade and have decided to list some of the city's prettiest attractions so can see for yourself!
The Rows
No trip to Chester would be complete without paying a visit to the famous Rows, one of the city's most iconic and unique attractions. They are a series of two-tier medieval galleries around the city centre that have become home to many of Chester's bustling boutiques and independent shops. However thanks to their old fashioned charm, coupled with the black and white timber façades, the Rows have come to typify the character of the city and offer far more than just a bit of retail therapy.
Chester Cathedral
Chester Cathedral also plays a massive role in making the city one of Europe's prettiest. Thanks to a rich and varied history that dates way back to the tenth century, the building contains some of the city's most stunning architecture and draws in visitors from all around the world. Moreover, with Gothic columns, wood carvings from the fourteenth century and Norman arches all rolled into one, Chester Cathedral forms the perfect backdrop to the city centre.
Eastgate Clock
Arguably Chester's most iconic landmark and the centrepiece of the city, Eastgate Clock is reputed to be the second most photographed clock in the United Kingdom with only Big Ben being snapped more often. Although it was installed all the way back in 1899 to commemorate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria, Eastgate Clock remains a popular as ever with people flocking from all over to see it perched on top of the world-famous city walls.
Hopefully after reading this you'll have some sort of idea as to why Chester is so attractive to American tourists. However, we all know that there is no substitute for the real thing so why don't you book yourself a holiday cottage in Chester with Sykes and experience it all first hand this winter.

Time for Agnieszka Radwanska to change game to challenge top 3 players.
View Single Post
Join Date: Jul 2010

Her problem is there is no room to breathe against the best players. Her serve has improved but she only goes for an ace once every 3-4 games. She needs 1-2 free points minimum in every service game. Second serve is an automatic loss of point. She actually looks pretty good against most players, often hitting a flat skidding approach shot and comfortably disposing of volleys but when the balls come crashing through the court towards her, she has no choice but to lob them back.
Justine had great technique on her shots and just forced herself to jump into her shots, which gave her shots additional zip. Rad has great hands and deflects pace but it is just not enough. She needs to deflect and yet attack like Azarenka.
IMO her biggest roadblock is Azarenka. This is a player she used to compete well against but has now dominated her, thrashing her left and right. Azarenka does not possess the great pace of Serena or Sharpie and has a weak serve but she stands on the baseline and hits left and right with great depth. Taking balls that early and hitting them firmly robs opponents of time the same way Serena or Sharpie do it by hitting hard. In fact, if Azarenka could add some more power to her own game and serve, she would be unstoppable because she is just extremely solid (of course, if she hit harder, she might become less so).

Smithsonian Inspector General Sprightley Ryan to Join Law School Faculty
A. Sprightley Ryan, inspector general of the Smithsonian Institution, will join the Law School's faculty in January.
Many lawyers in Washington, D.C., might spend their days preparing for an appearance on Capitol Hill, conducting a criminal investigation or examining the fairness of financial contracts. As inspector general of the Smithsonian Institution, A. Sprightley Ryan gets to do all of that — and ponder what happened to George Washington's bed.
Ryan, who will be joining the University of Virginia School of Law in January as an associate professor of law and director of public service in the Mortimer Caplin Public Service Center, currently leads an independent office that conducts performance audits and investigates crimes at the Smithsonian, which has more than 100 million items in its care.
Ryan's efforts have included ensuring that criminals are prosecuted (one Smithsonian employee wrote almost $100,000 in checks to herself), investigating improper practices such as abuse of expense accounts or travel privileges, and auditing the national collections the Smithsonian holds for the American people to assess security weaknesses and determine what is lost or in poor condition (This year Ryan's office released reports noting that the American History Museum could not account for 10 percent of a sample of its inventory, including a part of George Washington, and that many of the collection's storage facilities are substandard, putting the collections at risk.) (More)
"It's a whole range of issues," she said. "It's a unique institution — it involves arts, culture, history, science. Because I grew up in D.C., I always loved the Smithsonian."
Ryan has devoted much of her career to public service. A Yale University graduate, she attended law school at the University of California, Berkeley, where she was editor-in-chief of the Ecology Law Quarterly, and afterwards returned to her hometown to clerk for Judge Joyce Hens Green of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
She stayed in Washington to work for the law firm Beveridge & Diamond on environmental issues and white collar criminal defense, then in 1995 she joined the Department of Justice as a trial attorney prosecuting environmental crimes. During that time she also worked as a special assistant U.S. attorney, working on misdemeanor trials. Ryan later joined the faculty of the College of William & Mary Law School, where she taught legal skills, ethics and brief writing.
In 2003, Ryan joined the Smithsonian as counsel to the inspector general, became assistant inspector general two years later and inspector general in 2007. She reports directly to the Smithsonian's Board of Regents and to Congress.
"The issues change every day. From a lawyer's perspective, this is a particularly fascinating place," Ryan said. "As a legal entity, it is unique. It doesn't fit in any neat boxes in terms of administrative law, because it's not an agency — it's a trust instrumentality of the government, and has both federal funds and trust funds."
For example, the Freedom of Information Act doesn't apply to the Smithsonian. Three-quarters of the budget is federal, but the remainder comes from trusts and the institution's revenue-raising arm.
"There's the question of how to do you handle requests for information?" she said. "You have concerns other than those of a normal federal agency, because the Smithsonian conducts fundraising and has retail businesses such as its stores and movie theaters."
Not long after her tenure as inspector general began in 2007, Ryan also oversaw an investigation of then-Smithsonian Secretary Lawrence Small, who ended up resigning over questions about his compensation and expenses. Although Ryan's report found no evidence of abuse or fraud, she wrote in her report that some expenses "might be considered lavish and extravagant."
Ryan's office recently has turned to examining revenue-sharing arrangements with Smithsonian Enterprises, which operates concessions and is responsible for museum shop sales. (More)
Ryan said she hopes to bring her experience in ethical issues to her role as a teacher of Professional Responsibility, a required Law School course focusing on legal ethics and conduct.
"I've had to deal with — particularly in the area of conflicts of interest — very real-world examples that highlight how much the world is not black and white," she said. "The government ethics rules do not apply at the Smithsonian, because they only apply to agencies and this is not an agency. So the Smithsonian has developed its own ethical rules, and our office has been involved in strengthening those rules in my time here."
Ryan said her work for a variety of public-sector entities also will inform her efforts to help students find public-interest jobs.
"I certainly have experience in the government sector and I know its incredible value, both for those who want to do public service or even those who may not imagine themselves doing public service their whole lives," she said. "It sounds corny, but you really are working for the public good, and there really is little else as professionally satisfying as that."
Ryan said she was excited about joining the Law School faculty.

En español | It may be a small detail, but replacing the covers on a room's electrical switches and outlets with new decorative covers can add pizazz. You can shop online for a huge selection of plate covers in all types of materials, styles and designs. High-end ceramic switch covers, for example, cost about $20 apiece. Installation is usually simple: Just be sure to turn off the electricity for safety. Bonus tip: Write the brand and color of the room's latest paint job on the back of the switch plate as a handy reminder for when you repaint or touch up.

If your washer is hooked up to hot and cold water spigots with old-fashioned black rubber hoses, take a few minutes to shut off the faucets and replace them with super-strong and long-lasting braided stainless steel hoses, which cost about $10 to $15 each. Otherwise, if a washer hose bursts, your laundry room could quickly become an indoor swimming pool and suffer major damage.

Wish you had stainless steel kitchen appliances instead of plain old white ones? Before spending thousands on new appliances, consider magnetic covers for refrigerators, dishwashers and other appliances. They work just like tiny refrigerator magnets, except they cover the entire surface. They also come in many colors and graphic designs, and cost about $50 to $100 apiece, depending on the appliance and design.

This ingenious device, which you can find online and in some home improvement stores for around $50 (depending on chimney size), inflates like a balloon inside the chimney of your fireplace to reduce heat loss and downward drafts. You inflate and deflate it from inside the house.

It may not be the sexiest indoor home improvement project, but it is one of the most cost effective. Fiberglass-filled insulation blankets can reduce energy loss from your home's older water heater by 25 to 45 percent, according to the Iowa Energy Center. At a cost of about $25, they're widely available at home improvement stores and require only a tape measure, a utility knife and about 30 minutes to install.
To add visual interest or privacy, self-clinging vinyl or adhesive window films are easy to apply to the interior surface of window panes. A $100 budget will likely let you transform more than one large window into faux etched glass or other designs. If you get tired of the design, no worries; they're easy to remove. Many window films can also be applied to the outside surface of shower doors.

It's possible that your toilet is slowly leaking water — literally sending your money down the drain — without your even knowing it. To check for leaks, pour a package of grape Kool-Aid into the toilet tank and see if the water in the toilet bowl gradually turns purple without flushing. If it does, your toilet has a slow leak. Installing a new rubber flapper or even a whole new "toilet kit" to fix the problem is a pretty easy DIY project for about $25.
Sure, everyone knows that routinely cleaning or replacing furnace filters during the heating season conserves energy and improves air quality, but it's easy to forget. Here's the tip: You probably get a reminder every month in the mail that it's time to change the filter … it's called your monthly heating bill. Although it varies depending on the furnace and other conditions, in many instances changing filters every month is spot on.
To change the entire look and feel of a room without repainting or wallpapering, cover one or more walls with fabric. Just nail carpet tacking strips (about 20 cents per linear foot) around the perimeter of the wall — nailing only every foot or two is fine — and then stretch and attach fabric swaths to the tacking strips, with the edge of the fabric doubled back over. Best of all, you can change fabrics easily and even seasonally.

Windows in basements and garages are rarely energy efficient. To inexpensively add insulation to windows that you don't often gaze through, simply mist the inside of the windowpane with water, then apply a properly sized piece of plastic bubble wrap to the glass (bubble side against the pane). The bubble wrap will magically cling to the dampened pane for months, and it peels off clean and easily when you want to remove it. It's a true cheapskate miracle.

Published: December 21, 2012It's hard to believe that it's been over a year since Bethesda's epic adventure graced our homes and sent us on a journey through the mountainous lands of Skyrim. With impressive graphics, a generous helping of spells and dragon shouts, plus a seemingly endless list of quests, it came as no surprise that the title gained enormous praise, topping many a 'game of the year' list in the process. 360 players have already been treated to the decent if unremarkable Dawnguard, but this latest effort, entitled Dragonborn, seeks to be altogether more interesting and sizeable. You'll have new areas to explore and new foes to encounter, but is it worth the 1600 point asking price?

KANSAS CITY — American Royal officials told a Kansas City Council committee that it still wants Kemper Arena torn down, rather than renovated, even if a competing proposal includes space for the Royal's events.
The competing proposal from developer Steve Foutch would reconfigure the 40-year-old, 18,000-seat Kemper in western Kansas City to be used mostly for youth sports. Foutch said in a meeting with the committee last week that a separate, smaller building could be built to host the Royal's equestrian and agricultural-events.
However, Royal officials told the committee Thursday they were not interested in that proposal, saying they also wanted to use new building for youth sporting events, partially in partnership with the ownership group behind the Sporting Kansas City soccer club, The Kansas City Star reported.
Royal officials said putting another building on the site would reduce parking and leave no room for the annual American Royal Barbecue and other outdoor events.
"We're trying to take the American Royal to the next level, and we need new facilities to do that," said Mariner Kemper, American Royal chairman and grandson of the arena's namesake.
The Royal has a long-term lease that requires the city to provide space for its events through 2045, which prevents the city from simply closing the arena.
Mariner Kemper and attorney Chase Simmons told the committee the Royal wants to spend $60 million to raze the arena and build a new building. American Royal has raised $10 million from donors and said state and federal funds of about $20 million would come from tax credits and other funds, while city taxpayers would borrow the remaining $30 million for the rest.
They said the proposal to renovate Kemper would cost $50 million and be more of burden to taxpayers. Foutch contends his plan would cost only $22 million.
Committee Chairman Ed Ford said he had hoped the two groups could compromise.
"Outside of the American Royal, I've yet to have anybody tell me we ought to tear it down," he said. "The enthusiasm the American Royal has to tear down Kemper escapes me."
Mariner Kemper said he is not enthusiastic about tearing down a building that bears his family's name but Royal officials and their consultant have come to the "unfortunate" conclusion that it was necessary.
The committee hopes to make a recommendation to the full city council next month.

They suggest trying
The coolest weather imagery on the net comes from the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The gopher server there is the source of the nice composite US/IR image.
Another fine set of weather information comes from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Its nifty stuff, however I personally feel they've gone way overboard on the graphics that get you to the weather imagery your interested in. But then again, that seems to be the common (and disappointing) trend in the web these days.
The GOES data set I provided (in high resolution) comes from NASA, specifically ftp://explorer.arc.nasa.gov/Weather
And the imagery from the other side of the planet is available (Very nicely) from The University of Nottingham.

wine that gladdens the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart.
How many are your works, O LORD !
In wisdom you made them all;
After the two days he left for Galilee. Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country. When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they also had been there.
Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
"Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."
The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live."
The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, "The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour."
Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed.
This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee.
Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin-- because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.
But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid close attention to what he said. With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed. So there was great joy in that city.
Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, "This man is the divine power known as the Great Power." They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his magic. But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
The waters saw you and writhed.
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."
His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.
Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."
This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

'Everyone kind of caters to you'
WILLISTON, N.D. - It's Saturday night at Cattails bar on Main Street. A fracker from Utah sings "Free Bird," karaoke-style. Oil-field workers clink shot glasses. And concrete mixer driver Michelle Bean strokes her cue at the pool table, starting another game of 8-ball with her housemate, dump truck driver Sonya Adams.
Nothing goes in.
"That shot was like a woman," she says. "All bust, no balls."
Bean, 41, sips Crown Royal and Red Bull to stay alert after working nearly 90 hours this week, pouring concrete for roads, sidewalks and oil pads. Sunday is her day off. She came out to the Bakken in February, fleeing a bad breakup in the woodsy country near Leavenworth, Wash.
"I miss the trees," she says. "And the guys to girls ratio is a little unbalanced."
Being female in the North Dakota oil fields, Bean and Adams say, isn't as bad as the horror stories they hear about leers at the Wal-Mart and harassment around every corner. Unofficial counts say there are 10 men for every woman working in western North Dakota.
"It's not too bad because everyone kind of caters to you," Bean says. "Nobody's messed with me, and it's all been respectful."
Knife River Corp., a 5,000-employee construction giant based in Bismarck, provides the women with a five-bedroom house they share with another truck-driving woman named Betty.
They earn $24 an hour plus a $50 per diem and Knife River deducts $600 a month for the housing.
Adams, 40, left a divorce and 9-year-old son back in southern Idaho. Her parents, Richard and Tina Yelton, have come up from Arizona. Her dad is her truck boss and her mom drives a 10-wheel end dump truck just like she does.
"Women are definitely outnumbered," she says, but even that has improved from when she arrived two years ago. "They're learning we work just as hard and do just as good a job."
'What we do is investigate, negotiate and argue'
KEENE, N.D. - The back seat of Vern Stiller's silver Mercedes SR5 SUV is littered with maps, a hard hat, work gloves and an extra carton of Pall Mall cigarettes.
There are 180,000 miles on the odometer, with 80,000 more piling up yearly. He's driven 330 miles today and it's still early afternoon.
"That's a lot of ass time," said Stiller, 70. "I drive around, smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, talk smart and write checks."
His voice is pure gravel, his neck tan and weathered. You can't tell he's got an artificial leg under his bluejeans, a remnant of a busted ankle and frostbite from five decades working on oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming and now North Dakota.
"They call us land men," he said. "What we do is investigate, negotiate and argue."
As middle man between the oil companies and ranchers in western North Dakota, Stiller searches courthouses for titles and figures out who owns the mineral rights.
Then he greases the deal, acquiring rights of way easements for pipelines to move the oil and natural gas from this remote landscape to a world thirsting for fuel.
"I do love making deals," said Stiller.
He's been married four times, lives in Billings, Mont., but spends most of his time in a friend's Airstream trailer at the Tobacco Garden campground 20 miles northwest of here.
"I've retired three times but needed something to do," he said. "I make more money than a medical doctor or an engineer, which is hard to imagine."
As he steers his Mercedes through the canyon country known as the Little Missouri Breaks, he spots a prominent landowner — Bill Jorgenson of the Bar U Ranch.
They talk on the road about 15 miles of potential pipeline that one of Stiller's clients would like to put on Jorgenson's property.
"Any way you can work it out," Stiller says in parting, lighting another Pall Mall and driving off past another well pad tucked in a hillside.
'It's an opportunity for me'
WILLISTON - Nathaniel Kroshus didn't come here for high wages or to escape his past. He's here chasing his passion.
The 31-year-old from Grand Rapids, Minn., loves to teach music. But a dearth of music-teaching jobs in budget-wracked schools back home sent him nearly 600 miles west in 2012 with his fiancée, Trisha, their cat, Gulliver, and Juno, a gray-eyed white Husky.
"I knew the experience would be like hell," said Nate, a whitecap in this historic wave of migration making North Dakota the fastest-growing state. "But I didn't really realize how hellish till I got here."
He was sitting on a couch last spring, eating Noodle Roni with mock chicken and a salad that Trisha, a vegetarian from Medford, Minn., just prepared. They were paying $1,800 a month for one-third of a trailer at the Hexco man camp, 400 square feet of space down a snaking dirt road north of Williston.
The place had no address. The sink and shower leaked. The microwave outlet didn't work "and the walls are so thin, we cannot only hear the kid next door, we can follow what TV shows he's watching," Trisha said.
"I knew it would be expensive, but didn't believe it would be this expensive," she said. "I thought there would be older ladies with rooms to rent. There are not. This place is a cave and the space is so crowded, we want to kill each other."
Instead, they returned to Trisha's home near Owatonna on summer break and got married in Hastings.
Trisha kept her "fingers crossed that a call would come with a job in Minnesota," but when that didn't happen, she shrugged.
They headed back to the Bakken, where hotels and apartment buildings had sprung up in and around Williston nearly as fast as oil rigs — a building boom within an oil boom.
Their new apartment building opened in August near Williston's almost-done, $70 million recreation center. Their top-floor apartment is 728 square feet — nearly twice as roomy as their man-camp cave, It rents for a third less, $1,250, including the $100 fee for Gulliver and Juno.
Nate's salary, meanwhile, has jumped nearly 20 percent to $50,400.
"The perception is everyone's rich out here, but I'm still making about half the median salary of $88,000," he said. "But it's an opportunity for me, and I am excited to share the lifelong gift of music."
Trisha has landed a support job at a school here.
"It's better," she said. "But it's still Williston."
'It's all about being in a hurry'
WILLISTON - Spencer Logan was in Hour 16 of his day as a Halliburton safety lead on a hydraulic-fracturing site. It was raining, cold and "the site was just a mud hole and I was just concerned about getting the hell out of there."
He failed to look up and see a wire line still on, which should have prompted him to open a value and release 4,500 pounds of pressure. The screw-up left live explosives — known as guns — 4 miles down in the ground, costing his company "lots of money" and nearly getting him fired after four years working his way up the Halliburton ladder.
"I was in too big a hurry," said Logan, 45, who grew up in Red Wing and lives in California when he's not fracking for oil in North Dakota.
He's just glad no one got hurt.
"There are chemicals and explosives, lots of high pressure and so many different things that can get you killed that you'd better know what you're doing before you step on a site."
Of the 70 death investigations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has conducted in North and South Dakota since Oct. 1, 2009, more than half (37) have stemmed from the oil fields of western North Dakota.
Logan remembers one of those deaths with an overwhelming tinge of sadness.
Mike Krajewski, a 49-year-old father of three daughters from Duluth, was killed when a pipe from a high-pressure line fell and struck his head while fracking in January. OSHA fined Halliburton $14,000 — the first time the oil-field servicing giant has been cited with workplace safety violations in North Dakota.
"I always wondered why he just didn't look up," recalled Logan, who witnessed what he called a "tragedy." He knew Krajewski personally as "a great friend.
"He thought it was time to go out there and bleed off the fluid from the joints so it would slowly flow out," Logan said. "He just didn't look up and see the wire line on there. It's all about being in a hurry.
The thing flew up like a rocket as soon as he opened it up, and he got flown into the wellhead and it crushed the back of his head.
"It's just a reminder how dangerous this work can be."

Liberty Bowl is becoming a big money pit
John Vergos, the former city councilman, offered his services to the City of Memphis not long ago.
"I met with Mayor Herenton," he said, "and offered to negotiate the ADA issue."
He meant the ADA issue at the Liberty Bowl. The Justice Department has been after Memphis to bring the stadium into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Vergos asked if he could help. He's a lawyer. He's worked on ADA issues previously. Beyond that, why not get the issue taken care of while George W. Bush and the Republicans were still calling the shots?
"The answer I got was, 'Run along, Johnny, we've got this under control,'" Vergos said.
Famous last words, eh?
Got this under control? To the tune of $40 million, evidently.
Memphis officials say the Justice Department has given them until September 2010 to make changes to the stadium that — according to the city, anyway — will cost $40 million.
If that's what hard-bargaining produces, let's try surrender.
"My dog could have negotiated a better deal," said Vergos.
Plus, he'd do it for biscuits.
Forty million for 219 wheelchair spaces? That's $182,648 per wheelchair.
This isn't to criticize the disabled either. They have as much right as anyone to blow off Memphis football games.
But $40 million? For improvements that don't actually — how to put this? — improve the place?
"It seems high to me," said Vergos.
By, like, a factor of four.
"I was under the impression the ADA would cost $6-$10 million," said Jim Strickland.
Strickland is a current city councilman. No word on whether he has a dog. But he — like Vergos and any other sentient being — doesn't believe what city officials are selling.
"I've never seen anything like $40 million to comply with the ADA," Strickland said. "I want to see a line-by-line accounting for how they come up with that figure."
This is good news for all us taxpaying types. At some point, the City Council will have to sign off on any improvements. While they're at it, they might want to revisit that thorny question: Why is the city still in the college football business?
Look all around this great nation of ours. From Akron to Boston College to Central Florida. You will see college football teams — successful, prosperous teams — playing in stadiums they built with their own money.
The University of Tennessee plays in such a stadium. So do Southern Miss and Tulsa and East Carolina and on and on and on.
Why is Memphis so uniquely different? Why can't the university do what nearly every other school in the country has done?
No, this might not be the time to embark on such a project. But the issue will be around as long as the Liberty Bowl.
Which is a junk stadium right now, by the way. A civic embarrassment. And yet the grand plan to remake the fairgrounds and the stadium is caught in the expected political wrangle.
The plan hasn't even been presented to the city and county for approval because Henry Turley (the developer) and Robert Lipscomb (representing Herenton) can't agree on the terms of the development contract. In the meantime, Lipscomb is simultaneously working on 1) the federal stimulus package, 2) public housing issues, and 3) the Bass Pro deal.
Small wonder everything drags out. Small wonder the Liberty Bowl goes wanting. But university administrators can't blame anyone but themselves. This is what happens when you cede control of your future to politicians.
Strickland made this exact point not long ago, when the council was asked to approve money for a new locker room. He asked the impertinent question, "Why again are we building the university a locker room?"
Strickland is a double graduate of the University of Memphis, mind you. He's on the board of the Tiger Scholarship Fund and the alumni club.
"Ultimately, I don't think it helps the university (to play at the Liberty Bowl)," he said. "The only reason they stay is that they have such a sweet deal they'd be stupid to go."
So they stay, of course. And the bills pile up for the rest of us. And just try to get someone to tell you when that grand fairgrounds/stadium plan will be finished.
"I'd say five to seven years," said Strickland.
"But don't hold me to it."
