The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunologic effects of autologous tumor vaccination administered with human granulocyte-macrophage colony-simulating factor (hGM-CSF), and subsequent boosting vaccinations in patients made lymphopenic by treatment with chemotherapy and infused with autologous PBMC (Cohort A) or CD25 depleted PBMC (Cohort B). Clinical observations and laboratory measurements will be monitored to evaluate safety, toxicity, immune responses, and anti-tumor effects. Additionally, the effects of treatment on tumor response will be evaluated.

Biological: CD25 depletion
Autologous, CD25-depleted PBMC re-infusion
Detailed Description:
This is an open-label, outpatient Phase II, prospective, randomized, single-center, clinical trial. Up to 14 patients with a diagnosis of unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma.
All patients will undergo leukapheresis to collect PBMC.
All patients will receive Cyclophosphamide 350 mg/m2 dl-3 and Fludarabine 20 mg/m2 dl-3.
Following chemotherapy to induce lymphopenia, patients will be re-infused with PDMC as follows:
Autologous PBMC re-infusion (Cohort A) Autologous, CD25-depleted PBMC re-infusion (Cohort B)
Following PBMC re-infusion, all patients will receive subcutaneous GM-CSF Infusion (50 micrograms/24 hrs) continuously for 6 days.
All patients will then receive 4 booster vaccinations as follows:
Intradermal injection of autologous tumor cells in the lower abdomen to deliver a total dose of at least 2x107 cells administered week 3, week 5, week 9 and week 13. Subcutaneous GM-CSF Infusion (50 micrograms/24 hrs) adjacent to the vaccine site begins at time of vaccination (week 3, 5, 9 and 13) and continues for 6 days.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant melanoma that is unresectable stage III or stage IV. Measurable disease is not required.
- Patients must have failed, refused, or not been eligible to receive at least one standard therapy regimen for metastatic disease.
- Easily harvested metastatic tumor cells e.g., skin or lymph node metastases or a planned surgery to remove tumor. Patients undergoing resection of a solitary brain metastasis are eligible if their resected lesion contains an adequate number of tumor cells. A minimum 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm lesion will be required for study eligibility.
- Sufficient viable tumor cells harvested to generate the vaccine. The tumor collected must contain greater than 1.6 x 108 viable tumor cells or a cell line generated from autologous tumor must provide greater than 1.6 x 108 viable tumor cells.
- Patients may have received prior chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. Prior radiation therapy is acceptable but previously radiated sites may not be used for tumor collection for vaccine preparation.
- Life expectancy of greater than or = 3 months.
- ECOG performance status <2 (Karnofsky >60%; see Appendix A).
- Patients must have normal organ and marrow function at the time of enrollment as defined in the protocol.
- Patients must be seronegative for HIV, Hepatitis B surface antigen and Hepatitis C antibody.
- If patients have had recent surgery, they must have recovered from the effects of that surgery in the opinion of the investigator.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have had chemotherapy within 3 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C).
- Radiation therapy within 2 weeks. Prior radiation must have been to less 30% of the bone marrow and patient has recovered from all side effects, in the opinion of the investigator.
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
- Steroid therapy, other than replacement steroids and inhaled steroids. Patients who might require systemic corticosteroids other than replacement steroids during the next three months are not eligible for this study.
- Patients with known brain metastases unless treated with radiation therapy and/or surgery and shown to be stable > 1 month.
- Autoimmune disease requiring treatment, with the exception of controlled autoimmune thyroiditis or vitiligo.
- Pregnant or nursing women are excluded from this study because fludarabine and cyclophosphamide have potential teratogenic effects. It is not known whether fludarabine is excreted in breast milk but the package insert cautions that it might and recommends against breastfeeding if the mother is treated with fludarabine.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness which, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the risks associated with study participation or interfere with the interpretation of the results..
- Any other medical illness or psychiatric condition/social situations that in the opinion of the principal investigator would compromise the patients ability to tolerate this treatment or would limit compliance with study requirements.

Daniel Michael Andriano (born June 27, 1977) is the bassist and co-vocalist of the punk rock band Alkaline Trio.
Education and early bands[edit]
Andriano is a graduate of St. Edward High School in Elgin, Illinois. He enrolled in a psychology class and left after he answered a question asking where the word "lunatic" comes from. He returned to the college once only to "get [his] money," stating that the course was a waste of time because he already knew the material.
In 1993 he and several friends from the Elgin area formed the punk-ska fusion band Slapstick, with Andriano playing bass and contributing backing vocals. He would remain a member through the release of two full-length albums (Lookit! and a self-titled compilation) until the group's breakup in 1996. After the breakup he and two other ex-members of Slapstick formed the band Tuesday, which released an EP, Early Summer, in 1997 and a full-length album, Freewheelin, later that year.
Alkaline Trio[edit]
In late 1997 Andriano was asked by Matt Skiba to join the Alkaline Trio, replacing original bassist Rob Doran. His first release with the band was the 1998 EP For Your Lungs Only. The band has since released eight studio albums, with their ninth album, My Shame Is True released on April 2, 2013.
Side and solo projects[edit]
Andriano played bass on The Falcon's 2004 EP, God Don't Make No Trash or Up Your Ass with Broken Glass, at the request of guitarist and lead vocalist Brendan Kelly, and would return in 2006 to play bass and provide vocals for Unicornography. He also played bass guitar on Ben Weasel's 2007 album These Ones Are Bitter.
Andriano also performs as a solo act under the name "Dan Andriano in the Emergency Room".[1] His first solo album, Hurricane Season, was released on August 9, 2011 through Asian Man Records. Later that year, Andriano toured Europe with Chuck Ragan, Dave Hause of The Loved Ones, and Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem as part of the 2011 Revival Tour.[2] The following year, Andriano again performed on the North American leg of The Revival Tour alongside Ragan, Cory Branan, Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!, and Nathaniel Rateliff.[3]

Critical Essay by Robert P. Wells
SOURCE: "Burns and Narrative," in The Art of Robert Burns, edited by R.D.S. Jack and Andrew Noble, Vision and Barnes & Noble, 1982, pp. 59–75.
In the following essay, Wells explores the narrative structure and didactic content of several of Burns's poems.
Almost everyone, if asked to categorize Burns's work, would describe him as a lyric poet; indeed, the popular image is that of incomparable master of love-songs. Burns, in keeping with his lyrical inclinations, is very much an occasional poet; his canon, in fact, contains well over one hundred poems of a more expository or dramatic nature: verse epistles, addresses, laments and elegies, a cantata, dramatic prologues and fragments, descriptions, epigrams, dialogues, and dramatic monologues.
No one, I believe, would place Burns among the narrative poets. Including 'Tam o' Shanter', there are barely a handful of...

A Story About Procrastination
Love this post? Let's keep in touch!
28 Responses to A Story About Procrastination
I too am a perfectionist-procrastinator. Good to know I'm not alone Thanks for sharing! And the photos look FAB-ulous
I am the same way. things have been taking me longer to finish but its because I want them to look amazing.
Perfectionist Procrastinators Unite! Maybe tomorrow. After we clean our homes to immaculate perfection before the meeting. Probably in the last two hours before the meeting starts.
My hubby and I are BOTH that way. I've learned that nothing gets a project done like inviting somebody over. Like my kitchen had some cupboards removed due to mold (bye, built in pantry. sigh.) and my hubby had got up to primering and then stopped. I have his best friend coming over for supper tonight, so last night at 8pm he started repainting that sucker, hahaha.
I made a wedding cake for my BIL/SIL and I sat there with the tiers all iced having an anxiety attack for like an hour until I just HAD to finish it or I would run out of time. I was so scared there'd be a disaster when I tried to stack it! ;p
I can totally relate! I think I have been a perfectionist procrastinator since birth too:) The funny thing is I usually make a project quickly because I have procrastinated so long and then the fact that it isn't perfect doesn't bother me as much because I know I did it quickly. Okay so maybe that's a little crazy, but it works for me!
Cripes. I am soooooo there with you. Is there a cure for this? You know… besides messing with the configuration of my DNA?
I'm the same way!! I didn't really "realize" it until recently though. I have always been a perfectionist…but then I would look around and wonder why it didn't probably look that way to everyone else. I put things off if I haven't figured out the perfect way to do it! Great post!!
The wall looks great! It's so funny, I almost fell off my chair scrolling through my blog reading list this morning when I saw the title of your post. I just posted my own little confession about a procrastinating problem yesterday! Haha, it's good to know I'm not the only one!
I'm just a procrastinator. I haven't had my youngest picture taken professionally since she was 6 months old. ( she is soon to be 4) and my youngest son- it has been 8 years since his last photo shoot. I am bound and determined to get them done this year around their birthdays. But alas- I say this every year and their birthdays sneak up on me and are then gone before I can say "cheese".
Your photo collage layout looks great, I can't wait to see it when they're all painted! BTW, I have another method for arranging/hanging a photo collage on my blog (different than the one you linked to), at http://www.wannabecrafty.com/2011/03/hang-photo-collage-tutorial.html. Love your blog!
Thanks for the cheering! I needed to hear it. It is difficult to stay positive when you are a new blogger. As a newbie, I am constantly looking at other blogs and envying them. I have been down on myself recently for projects that didn't turn out "blog worthy" but now I know I should just post them anyways. What matters most is that I tried and was being creative. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a wonderful post! I enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog. Wishing you happiness, Katherine
Amy, I knew we were kindred spirits. If you keep posting great stuff like this, I'm going to have to keep linking to you. I hold off on a lot of projects b/c I worry about them not being what I envisioned in my head. I've been a little better about since I started blogging, but it's still an issue. Thanks for the encouragement.
I don't know if I'm a perfectionist procrastinor, maybe just the regular kind. That's what I love about blogging, it forces me to do thinks that might never get done so I have fun things to talk about! I love your gallery wall even without painted frames.
Amy, I LOVE this post. Rings a bell with me as well. And I've long thought your projects really were PERFECT! Nice to know that you are like us too. Thanks for the reassurance and encouragement Your stairway looks great!
Boy does this hit me between the eyes! This describes me to a "t". I have been going through something -emotionally, mentally, spiritually, organizationally, or some combination lately that has me frozen in my tracks. There is SO MUCH I want to do, and yet, I have yet to put much effort into any of it. Instead I wander aimlessly through the house and my day doing the same ole same ole mundane tasks but never getting to the things I've been dreaming of. Thanks for a fabulous post! I hope to get the "big one" checked off my list soon. I am starting a blog- finally!
Did the Lord tell you to speak to me today? I mean, to really speak to TASHENA WRIGHT today?!?!?! WOW!
I cannot believe this is so common… Here I thought I was such a failure, and all alone, in this mixed up, backwards, unexplainable place in my life. Children and perfection don't mix, then try to top that with SO many projects… WHEW!
Let me just say THANKS and a HUGE HUG to you for your post today!
I feel relieved and refreshed just knowing that I am not by myself in this trap.
Here's to getting something done – even if it's not "Tashena perfect."
In Christ's never ending love,
Tahena -
Raising my hand. Yup. MASSIVE perfectionist. In fact, procrastinating perfectionist. And I never even knew that 'til I started blogging.
It's like I get stuck in cement when it comes to moving forward on some things. And I don't want to be interrupted once I start. Enter children. The bane of perfection and uninterrupted time. {sigh} -
What a great post, and I think it is great that you got them up. The main thing (the photos) are what will make you smile every time you pass them.
Thanks for sharing, Tootie.
(I love that you included that, because I could almost hear him telling you that)
Just wanted to come back and let you know that I featured your post today, Amy. I know it rang true with at least one of my readers.
Wow! These ideas have been rumbling in my head, but I think you encapsulated what I hadn't completed even figured out. I heard somebody say, "Anything worth doing is worth doing wrong." Of course, I want to do my best, but I can't let my fear of doing it wrong prevent me from doing *anything*. My goal this year is to "live a big story" — or to live outside of my fears and insecurities so I can try to maybe do big things.
Again, thank you!

Hollywood gets keen on security guards
So, 2009 must be the year of the mall security guard in Hollywood.
First, in mid-January there was Paul Blart Mall Cop, a movie starring Kevin James as a mall security guard who has to defend his mall against a criminal onslaught. You can read Liz Martinez's loss-prevention-focused review of this movie if you didn't see it.
Now, you have Observe & Report, which opens this week. It's the story of the head of security (played by Seth Rogen) at the Forest Ridge Mall shopping center who has to deal with a flasher and the disdain of the police. Look for a review soon from Martinez on this one. AP reviewer Christy Lamire panned the movie, but our reviewer doesn't examine movies from purely a box office perspective; she instead looks for relevance for the security and law enforcement industry.
Finally, we also hear that Fox is working on a TV show called "Walorsky", also about a mall security guard in Buffalo, N.Y. The Hollywood Reporter says the project has been pushed back because the lead actor hasn't been found yet.
If mall security isn't your thing, and you like a character with government security training experience accustomed to dealing with hostage situations and international criminals, you should check out Taken (starring Liam Neeson). Or if you prefer a corporate espionage drama with a mixing of love-comedy, you'll spend your popcorn money on Duplicity (Julia Roberts and Clive Owen).

Consider A Lease With An Option To Buy When You Can't Sell Your Home

Consider A Lease With An Option To Buy When You Can't Sell Your Home
By Ilyce R. Glink
These days, I'm hearing from plenty of homeowners who want to be home sellers, but simply can't sell.
Either there are so many foreclosures in the neighborhood that their homes are worth only a fraction of what they once were (putting the home in a severe negative equity position) or there simply aren't many buyers making offers. It's hugely frustrating, especially if you want to move to take a new job, start school or for some other personal reason.
If you're seeing more people in your local real estate market looking to rent rather than buy, and you need to move, you might consider leasing your home and giving the tenant an option to buy your property at a later date. Using a lease/option could be particularly helpful if you've already bought another home or have moved out of the home.
While a lease with an option to buy does not technically sell your home, it does allow you to market the home as either a rental or sale, hopefully reaching a larger market. If a renter comes to you and needs time before he or she can get money together to buy the home, your lease arrangement could allow the tenant to live in the home and later purchase it.
While leasing your home may take away some of the stress of trying to find a buyer for your home, you still need to do your due diligence as a landlord.
The lease agreement should state the usual terms of the rental agreement, such as the amount you're charging in rent each month, the term of the lease agreement and a security deposit requirement.
In addition to the usual rental terms, you and your renter/buyer should agree on the sales price for the home before the lease term ends. You can give your tenant an incentive to buy by crediting a certain amount paid on the rent toward the purchase price of the home. This is a common provision in lease/option agreements. Also commonly seen is a provision for a non-refundable (though sometimes credited to the buyer's future down payment) option fee, which allows the tenant to "pick-up" the option and buy the property. Often, property owners will charge an additional option fee each time the lease is renewed.
Before you consider a tenant who wants to lease your home with (or without) the option to buy it, you should obtain a copy of your prospective tenant's financials, credit history and credit score and copies of bank statements.
Why? If you find a buyer who has terrible credit and no money saved, it's unlikely that person will be able to buy the home from you during the term of the lease. If the person has great credit but has not saved up enough money to buy a home, your future tenant may have a greater chance of saving money for a down payment and closing on the purchase of your home.
A lease with an option to buy does not replace the usual marketing you'll need to sell your home; it's an additional tool to bring in more traffic to your home. If you find the right tenant for the home, your home will be occupied and that tenant will be paying you monthly rent payments, with perhaps a non-refundable lease/option fee.
If you decide to rent the home with an option to buy, make sure you hire a real estate attorney to guide you through the process and assist you with the documentation.
There are benefits and pitfalls in leasing the property and you should talk to your attorney further about them. If you have found a tenant who is inclined to rent with an option to buy, the lease will give that tenant time to consider the rental as his or her home and make the decision to buy the home.
Obviously, it would be better to be able to sell your home outright and move on. But if selling isn't a viable option in your neck of the woods, the savvy seller will consider a lease/option as a next step.
Ilyce R. Glink is the author of several books, including 100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask and Buy, Close, Move In!. She blogs about money and real estate atThinkGlink.com and at the Home Equity blog for CBS MoneyWatch.
Want to Buy a New House? Beware Developers Hawking Empty Subdivisions
Is It Worth It to Appeal Your Property Taxes?
Should I Refinance Now?
Renting vs. Owning Property: How to Make the Call?
What would happen if the renter agrees to buy the home at the end of a certain period and then backs out of the deal? Is there any contractual way to obligate them to buy the home later?
That's a tricky situation that should be accounted for in the contract. Using a lease option to sell your house doesn't mean you can get out of the due diligence required by every landlord and home seller. Talk to a real estate attorney about how you can set up the lease option and protect yourself.
Thanks for commenting, Katherine, and make sure to come back every Friday for more real estate advice.

It appears that summer has finally arrived in Seattle! Now it's time to make use of the beautiful parks, waterfront benches and outdoor seating at the (plentiful) local coffee shops. While there might not be as much sun in Seattle as I'd like—what I get is truly appreciated. Book in hand, I can't wait to find that perfect locale to relax and soak up the warmth while my imagination takes flight. If you need ideas for your next read, see what our readers think about these newly released books: Beckyl reviews Made in the USA by Billie Letts: Billie Letts, author of 'Where the Heart Is', 'Honk and Holler Opening Soon', and 'Shoot the Moon', returns with another heart-wrenching tale of family drama. After their accidental guardian (drunk father's one-time girlfriend) drops dead of a heart attack in the check out lane at WalMart, Lutie decides that it is time to track down their erstwhile father--in Vegas. So they pack their things and drive off in the dead woman's car. Trouble begins to follow not long into their journey and soon the two are faced with some pretty tough challenges.
The Book Muncher reviews Airhead by Meg Cabot:
'Airhead' could possibly be Meg Cabot's best novel yet. I have to admit that I have never been a completely devoted fan of Meg Cabot's works (with the exception of Avalon High), but 'Airhead' was quick to become one of my favorites. Cabot proves herself to be a versatile and extremely ingenious writer. I do not understand where these crazy ideas come from, but I'm glad they do, because 'Airhead' was simply an amazing book. I don't want to give away anything too crucial to the plot, so I'll only say that Meg Cabot does an amazing job of combining the modeling world with that of advanced science.
'Flames'deals with Sedaris' more recent--that is to say adult life--which gives it a less nostalgic and more immediate feel, which is nice, since there seems to be more to connect with this time around, what with the long standing relationship issues, the quitting smoking episodes and the dealing with attacking wildlife. You know, things we deal with every day. JSedaris seems a bit more mature in this collection, not so prone to going for the easy laugh, for example, and attempting to see past the superficial characteristics he sees in the strangers in his stories to the (perhaps) more complex individuals underneath. He does, of course, remain laugh out loud funny, but there are touches of poignancy in these essays that I truly enjoyed.
Other interesting new titles:
Happy Reading!

Historical Whodunits, Dramas about Women Prevail in Summer Theater
Bruce Chadwick lectures on history and film at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He also teaches writing at New Jersey City University. He holds his PhD from Rutgers and was a former editor for the New York Daily News. Mr. Chadwick can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tod Randolph in Edith
When the curtains rise at summer theaters from coast to coast in the United States this month, audiences will be bombarded with two very different types of historical plays: murder stories out of the past, and plays about strong women, from 1950s princesses to 1970s nuns to 1917 First Ladies.
The murder plays, from Macbeth to Hound of the Baskervilles, take a look at the dark side of life. Rarely has a single summer seen so many of them in theaters. Let's start with the murder mystery champion, English writer Agatha Christie. Her story Black Coffee has been turned into a stage play at the Alley Theater, in Houston, Texas, where it opens July 6 for a one-month run. Up in Boston, the Actor's Repertory Theater has turned the movie The Friends of Eddie Coyle, a gritty 1970s tale of betrayal and homicide among ex-cons starring Robert Mitchum, into a murder mystery drama. It debuts in June. The Berkshire Theater Festival in Stockbridge, Massachusetts has a murder musical in Oliver! and a drama in The Puppetmaster of Lodz, about the persecution of the Jews in World War II. The Cape Playhouse, in Dennis, Massachusetts, is one of the several theaters in the U.S. staging Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, starring the dazzling detective Sherlock Holmes. It opens at the quaint seventy-year-old theater on June 11 and runs for a month. The Signature Theater in Arlington, Virginia, across the river from Washington, D.C., is staging The Hollow, a new version of the Washington Irving short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the story of the scary nineteenth-century "headless horseman." It premiers August 23. In San Diego, the Old Globe Theatre will be staging the Broadway hit musical The Scottsboro Boys, about rape and lynchings in the Jim Crow South. It'll open June 10.
In Shakespeare news, this year the Lincoln Center Festival will produce another version of Macbeth. This is one of many productions of Macbeth in New York this year, in addition to Sleep No More, a unique play set in an old New York hotel in which theatergoers walk through rooms and watch scenes from the drama take place. Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts is staging a version of King Lear, set in the waning days of tsarist Russia. It debuts in July.
Plays about powerful women who succeeded in a man's world throughout history are running throughout the country. Lenox's Shakespeare & Company festival is staging Cassandra Speaks, about Dorothy Thompson, a tough journalist who covered Germany in the 1930s, becoming one of the first American journalists booted out of Nazi Germany by Adolf Hitler. She married writer Sinclair Lewis, anchored a radio show, and appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1939. Several Broadway plays were based on her life. Sad to say, despite her former notoriety, Thompson is not a well-known figure today and this look into her life should be revealing. She was a gifted woman who not only gained fame, but did it in a field dominated by men in the 1930s and '40s.
The Berkshire Theater Festival, just fifteen minutes away from Lenox, will produce Edith, a new look at the wife of President Woodrow Wilson who, Washington gossips said, ran the country when her husband was laid low by a stroke towards the end of his presidency. Wilson was incapacitated while lobbying for the League of Nations. His wife Edith was very protective of Wilson and reluctant to let anyone strip him of his enormous power, despite his illness. Edith took over. She would not allow the vice president to assume the powers of the presidency and decided who would see Wilson in his bedroom and who would not, screened all of his phone calls and determined which letters and bills he would see. She had her supporters and her critics, all explored in the play.
Gallivanting royalty will take center stage when the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis produces Roman Holiday, a play based on the famous 1950s film starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. In the play, Peck, a reporter in Rome, takes off for a 24-hour holiday with a disenchanted but determined princess. The play opens June 9 and runs through August 19.
One of the most intriguing stories about strong women will be told in the one-woman opera Émilie at the Lincoln Center Festival. It's the story of Émilie du Chatulet, a mid-eighteenth century French physicist and mathematician who was also the mistress of philosopher Voltaire. She reportedly helped to invent the term "derivative" in economics, a financial practice that helped bring about the current recession.
On the lighter side, Dennis's Cape Playhouse will also produce Nunsense, the 1970s story about a group of nuns. Sister Act, another nun's story, is enjoying a healthy run on Broadway now. Also in Massachusetts, the Cape Cod Repertory Theater is producing Funny Girl, the story of 1920s vaudeville star Fanny Brice and the subject of numerous plays and films over the years. Funny Girl opens in September. Two of theater's most venerable women take center stage in yet another production of The Importance of Being Earnest at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
Many of the summer festivals are loaded with history stories. The Lincoln Center Festival is jammed with stories, operas and ballets about the past. The festival will stage a trilogy of plays, DruidMurphy, by Tom Murphy, that tell the story of Irish immigration to America from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present and traces the migration of the Irish from famine-stricken Ireland to New York. That trilogy (you can see the three plays in one day or separately, on three days) will run alongside In Paris, starring Mikhail Baryshnikov, about a former Russian general in Paris in the 1930s. Running with them is Anton Chekhov's nineteenth-century drama Uncle Vanya (the fourth Uncle Vanya in New York this season), starring Cate Blanchett, and the opera Émilie. Added to all of that is an appearance by the fabled Paris Opera House Ballet that will, among three offerings, stage the 171-year-old Giselle.
The Shakespeare and Company Festival in Lenox, Massachusetts, has a long line of history plays, headed up by the Bard's The Tempest and the aforementioned King Lear. They will also stage Endurance, a unique play about the exploration of the North Pole at the turn of the twentieth century. Other plays will include Satchmo at the Waldorf, a new work that chronicles Louis Armstrong's appearance at the New York hotel in the 1960s and his relationship with his white manager. The play, by Armstrong biographer Terry Teachout, also discusses views of the musician from both white and black audiences.
Down the road from Shakespeare and Company is the Berkshire troupe, which will also stage the musical A Chorus Line, a musical about the 1970s auditions for Herb Gardner's A Thousand Clowns, in addition to Edith and Puppetmaster of Lodz.
The Spoleto Festival, in Charleston, S.C., is staging Hay Fever (through June 8) and The Animals and the Children Take to the Streets, a revival of a 1920s play (through June 3).
Barrington Stage, in Barrington, Massachusetts, will offer Fiddler on the Roof, the always popular musical about the troubled Tevye and the eviction of Jews from a Russian village in the early twentieth century; they will also stage Arthur Miller's All My Sons. The Actors Repertory Theater in Cambridge will also present Pirates of Penzance. The Zachary Scott Theater in Austin, Texas, will produce Horton Foote's drama Dividing the Estate and in Dallas the Dallas Theater Center will produce the timeless biblical musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. In addition to The Scottsboro Boys, the Old Globe in San Diego will stage As You Like It, Inherit the Wind, and the rather chilling Richard III. The John F. Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C., will produce Memphis, the Tony Award-winning musical set in the late 1950s. It opens June 12 and runs through July 1.
Two California theaters will stage August Wilson's The Jitney, the story of events at a gypsy cab company in Pittsburgh in 1977. The South Coast Repertory Theater in Costa Mesa, will run it from May 11 to June 10, and the Pasadena Playhouse will offer it from June 21 to July 15.
The Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey will produce a number of history plays, too, in addition to their regular Shakespeare fare. This summer they are producing the 1700s show The Liar along with Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part One, Comedy of Errors and Measure for Measure.
Somewhere this summer, pick your century, there is some play for historians of all kinds.

California Desert City To Consider Solar Ban
The long corridor of desert land between Interstate 10 and State Route 62 has been slated for the last few years to become the center of utility-scale solar power development, home to the proposed Riverside East Solar Energy Zone. Now, one of the largest towns in that corridor will be deciding whether to ban commercial solar fields within its borders.
On September 4, Twentynine Palms' Planning Commission asked its City Council to set a policy barring commercial solar projects from the city. "I'm in favor of solar on homes, on businesses and on city-owned properties," Commissioner Bill Easter told reporter Rebecca Unger of the local newspaper The Desert Trail. "But as a community, commercial solar fields are incompatible with the city of Twentynine Palms. I do not agree with solar fields at all in our community."
The Planning Commission's suggested ban also extends to the city's official Sphere of Influence, which covers about 30 square miles of desert east and north of the city limits.
In addition to the request for a prohibition on solar, the Commission also submitted extensive suggested changes to the Code that would strictly limit solar development in the city.
This isn't a change of course for the Planning Commission: Commissioners have made plain their opposition to utility-scale commercial solar development for some months. This month's action by the Commission is the result of a mandate by the City Council that the Commission reevaluate and amend the City's Development Code to provide guidelines for solar development, a mandate the City Council issued in response to previous Commission recommendations that solar be barred from the City.
The Commission's recommendation is notable for its failure to pull punches:
Through the extensive review of the issue completed in numerous Study Sessions and Public Hearings, the Commission concludes that it cannot be demonstrated that allowing the development of Commercial Solar Fields shall provide a direct, tangible benefit to the community through the provision of improved community infrastructure, increased personal, sales, or property taxes, or provide reasonable and sustainable, long term employment to residents or visitors to our community, and whereas Commercial Solar Fields can be shown to have direct, adverse impacts to the aesthetic quality of the desert vistas the community now enjoys, deleterious effects to the tourist industry that the community depends on, potential adverse impacts to property values for the properties adjoining or surrounding such facilities, potential decreases in the quality of life for those individuals that reside with properties adjacent to or surrounding such facilities, and potential serious impacts to the biologic, cultural and social resources of our community. Under this conclusion, the commission must recommend that "Commercial Solar Fields" should be listed within all land use tables of the Development Code... as a "Prohibited Use."
The Twentynine Palms City Council has not yet formally discussed the recommendation.

Says Junior on meeting Cole, which all started from a shoutout the rapper gave the racer in a song:
"You pull for a guy because of the local connection. Normally, on the rare chance that a celebrity comes to my property, I get real nervous. But I wasn't nervous with him, because I knew this looks just like his backyard. It's a connection, a North Carolina connection, and he reps North Carolina in his music, and he's proud of where he's from and bringing recognition to Fayetteville. I'm proud of North Carolina too."
It's a great interview with the N.C. duo, "Dale Earnhardt Jr. and J. Cole: The Perfect Strangers."

I get that a lot, too. My diet has been coming up a lot in class because we are doing a unit on food (I teach Spanish). Oftentimes I feel sort of like they are attacking me for my diet. I have to remind them that this is a choice I made for myself, that I'm not trying to push them. By taking the less militaristic stance, a few students have actually perused a Vegan Outreach brochure. Its a slow process...who knows the choice these kids will make in a few years.

Trials, Trails, and Tales Italy '08
Several weeks ago I had the honor of visiting close friends of mine in Italy. The host was Dario, a friend I have enjoyed knowing for years.
He is an accomplished rider with many adventures to his credit including trips to Morocco and also exploring many routes around Italy via Trials Bikes or his enduro bikes. My Trip would include Rome, enduro bike riding near lake Bracciano North of there, Some trials riding in the Mtns. Competing in a local trails event near Rieti and topping off with 4-5 days enduro ride on a borrowed xr 400. on the island of Sardinia. Choosing the best pictures is hard and most of the pictures from Sardinia are compliments of the other generous riders I was with. there is also some video worthy of Americas Dumbest home videos . Wait and see! enjoy!

well don't blame it on the rookie American, most automated stations only take cash and well ... er ... anyone could fill their bike with diesel.Glad Dario and mines were full of the right stuff and we didn't need any.

On the trail we rode past some ancient tombs..
that were dated to be around the second half of the sixth century bc, a good place to investigate and take a break. My pics were dark in the heavily forested area so we continued. later abandoned railroads and train staions long forgotten.

'Bear Down With Pride' Campaign
The Arizona Wildcats have played their way into the Sweet 16 of the NCAA men's basketball...
Arizona (3-2, 0-2 Pac-12) will vie for its first conference victory at No. 18 Stanford (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12) on Oct. 6. The game will be televised nationally on FOX at Noon PDT.
The calendar has turned for two once-unbeaten teams – Arizona and No. 18 Stanford – set to face off after disappointing ends to college football's opening month. The game is scheduled for noon PDT on Oct. 6 at Stanford, and it will air nationally on FOX.
Each side opened the season 3-0 with feather-in-their-cap victories over nationally ranked foes, but neither was able to remain unscathed as the initial weeks of the rigorous Pac-12 Conference slate commenced.
Arizona continues to face an unrelenting schedule, one that has it playing a top-25 opponent for the third consecutive week and the fourth time in the last five weeks. Stanford will return home after a tough road loss at Washington that dropped it out of the top-10 and into the No. 18 spot, a number the Wildcats are familiar given recent contests against then-No. 18 Oklahoma State and also then-No. 18 Oregon State at the time of the meetings.
It will be another physical, hard-nosed opponent for the Wildcats, whose depth will surely be tested on both sides of the ball.
On paper, the matchup appears to be Arizona's offense (third in the Pac-12, 538.2 ypg) against Stanford's defense (third in the Pac-12, 316.5 ypg). But the X's and O's may be just as curious the other way around as Stanford ranks No. 10 in the conference in total offense (326.3 ypg) against UA's No. 10 total defense (451.2).
Can the Cats rekindle their early-season form that featured a potent, but more consistent offensive attack and a ball-hawking, bend-but-don't-break defense? Will the Cardinal assert itself on the ground the way it has in recent seasons against Arizona? And how will the Wildcats handle playing in the early bird special of college football?
Last week, Arizona stormed back from a 17-0 first-half deficit to take a 21-17 lead in the third quarter, then spent the remainder of the second half trading scores with No. 18 Oregon State, which rallied and held on for a 38-35 victory at Arizona Stadium.
Matt Scott threw for a career-high 403 yards and three touchdowns, but it wasn't enough. Or perhaps it was too soon. Scott's seven-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hill with 5:34 left in the game put the Wildcats on top 35-31.
However, that was more than enough time for Sean Mannion, who had 433 yards of his own, and the Beavers' offense, which put together a composed 10-play, 75-yard drive capped by the go-ahead and eventual game-winning score – a nine-yard pass to Connor Hamlett with just 1:09 left.
With a pair of timeouts and down just a field goal, the Cats had plenty of time to tie or win the game, but Scott was intercepted by Rashaad Reynolds with 43 seconds left to seal the game. The turnover was one of two in the second half for the Wildcats, a vital factor for sure.
The Beavers turned the ball over just once and racked up 613 yards of offense while owning a 36:41 to 23:19 advantage in time of possession. The two sides combined for 1,158 yards of offense and each averaged at least 7.0 yards per play.
With 115 yards and two scores, Ka'Deem Carey topped 100 rushing yards for the third time on the season, plus he added a career-best 68 yards on pass receptions.
Dan Buckner hauled in 119 receiving yards and one touchdown to give the Cats a second player with 100-plus yards of all-purpose yardage. The Beavers did one better, as running back Storm Woods (203) and receivers Markus Wheaton (168) and Brandin Cooks (149) each surpassed the century mark.
Oregon State defeated Arizona for the third straight year. It was also the Beavers' sixth-straight win at Arizona Stadium, with the last three such victories being decided by seven total points.
Up Next: Arizona will take a welcomed week off as the one and only open date in the schedule presents itself for the weekend of Oct. 13. Thereafter, the Wildcats will host home games against Washington (Family Weekend) on Oct. 20 and USC on Oct. 27 to close out the October calendar.
Time in television information for those games is expected to be announced on Oct. 8 and Oct. 15, respectively, as part of the conference's 12-day selection process.

The Story...I walk out onto my balcony on Saturday morning and look down at your yard as I often do, I notice you sitting by the pool on your own in your boardies, looking as hot and delictable as ever. I often wondered if you notice me or think the same way about me. The night before I had very hot dreams where we played leading roles and I am sure the things I dreamt about are illeagal in most states. You look up and notice me at the window I smile and you smile back, moitioning for me to come over. I nod and turn back into my room, I take a look at my 2 pairs of hand cuffs by the bed and a smile creeps across my face. I get dressed as sexy as I can, in my short demin skirt and red string bikini, I grab my handbag and fill with the hand cuffs. I then lock my house door and go next door, hoping my seduction techniques will work. I have been having hot dreams for a while now and I can't stand it any longer, I need to touch you. I knock on your front door, you open it to me and your gaze drops down the length of my body I get tingles just watching you stare. I sware you could see how hard my nipples are. You give me a hot lazy sexy smile and ask me to come in. I walk past you just lightly brushing against you I feel my belly get hot and I notice how wet my bikini bottoms are becoming. "Nice house I say, are your parents home" You reply, "no they are out, but I got lonely I am glad you were home." I smile and say "me to". You ask me to have a seat and we sit down on the couch, so close that our thighs touch. I start to flush you ask me "is everything ok" I say "yes just a little hot its been a long summer" you laugh and say "thank god I have a pool, if you want we can take a swim later". We talk about work and you tell me how sore you have been, I laugh and say "well your in luck I happen to be a good massuse if you like I can give you a massage" I put my hand on your thigh. You laugh and say "I'd love one let me show you to my room". I think to myself finally I can make my move. We walk down the hall to your bedroom, I say "what a lovely bedroom a Kingsize four poster bed damn your lucky". You laugh and say "I get lonely in a big bed by myself I wish I had a sexy girl like you sharing it with me". I smile and reply "I am sure you get your fair share of offers" I place my bag on the night table and tell you to lay face down, I slide down my skirt as you sit on the bed revealing my string bikini, I notice you slowly run your eyes from my feet up. "I hope you don't mind but its easier for me to work like this" you laugh and say "not at all". You lay face down on the bed and I kneel above you, my knees on either side of your body. I start rubbing your back neck and shoulders I hear you moan softly, "you are really tense, what have you been doing" you laugh and say "too much heavy lifting" I keep rubbing down your back hearing you moan I feel my juices start to flow and my bottoms getting damp. I run my hands down your legs and feet. "roll over now" you roll over and can see me bending over your legs and feet massaging them as I kneel above you. I hear you say "nice view, I love a curvacous girl with a round butt" I laugh and reply "shut your eyes and relax" I turn around and massage your chest I see you look down my bikini top and look at my breasts I laugh "your not going to enjoy it much if u keep your eyes open" you reply "I think I am enjoying it to much" I see the heat in your eyes I run my hand lightly over your groin and I hear you moan softly. "I have been thinking of you naked, I am so hot for you" I whisper in your ear then look into your eyes, your stare back and reply "thank god for that cause the feeling is mutal". I laugh and say "well things are going to get hotter then", I kiss your neck and take the handcuffs from my bag, I bring ur arm up and hand cuff it to the bed. You look up and smile, I then grab my other pair of hand cuffs and cuff your other arm to the bed. "Time for a little tongue torture" I bend down and kiss you hard sliding my tongue in your mouth and running my nails down your chest, you strain against the cuffs and moan against my mouth I nibble your bottom lip, I can feel you hard through your shorts. I bite your shoulder and kiss my way down your chest, running my nails down your back. I slowly slide off your shorts and stare at your hard huge erection. "Fuck your sooo big, I don't know if you can take my tight virgin pussy" you laugh and say in a husky voice "I'll make it fit" I slide off my bikini top as you stare at my size D Cup tits, I can see you straining against the cuffs to touch them. "You like" I ask, you reply "Fuck Yeah". I slide off your lap and off the bed, "you ask where are you going", "you'll see" I reply and smile. Walks into the kitchen and opens the fridge, I can hear you shouting out to get my ass back to the bedroom. I find a can of whipped cream, perfect I also find a red candle and matches. I walk back to the bedroom and see your eyes get wide, I put the items down on the bedside cabinet and slide off my bikini bottoms. "See how wet I am for you my juices are dripping down my thighs" you see how wet my neatly trimmed pussy is and lick your lips. I start fingering myself as you strain against the handcuffs "don't tease me too much baby" I moan and slide my fingers in your mouth and you suck hungrily. I shake the can of whipped cream as I climb on top of you again, I slide down your boxers, "I think your going to enjoy this" I say smiling cheekily. I squirt a bit in your mouth and kiss you hard our tongues touch as we kiss with so much passion. I then spray some down your chest, on your nipples, up each thigh and over your cock and balls. I slowly lick and suck the cream off each of your nipples and down your chest hearing you moan my name. I lick the cream slowly off each thigh. I take your balls and suck them slow and hard, I feel you shake with pleasure and arch your back. I slide your cock in my mouth and suck you slow and hard, deep throating on accasion, you scream with pleasure push your cock hard down my throat, I can taste the precum from your cock and know your getting close. I back off taking you out of my mouth. You Groan with frustration and yell at me to fuck your brains out. I giggle and say "not yet", I light the red candle as the wax starts to melt I drip it down your chest it heats your skin then cools down U groan and I can see you want to touch me, I wipe the wax from your chest. I release your left arm and you pull my head down and kiss me savagly, kissing my neck you then reach down and spank my ass, sliding a finger inside, I moan and slide my body against you. "You've been a bad girl to tease me so much" you say, I giggle and release your other hand and u flip me on my back running your hands down my body, biting and sucking my nipples and giving me a hicky on my neck. I scream out with pleasure, you part my thighs and kiss your way down. I moan and shiver with pleasure. You gently lick inside me and I cry out your name, you start tonguing my pussy deep, I run my hands through your hair and push your head down further grinding my pussy against your mouth. You bite and suck my clit, I know I can't take much more and you sense it too, you nibble my clit and slide 2 fingers inside me I scream with pleasure as I cum in your mouth, you lick all my juices and I start to breath heavy, you come up to me and kiss me, I can taste myself on your mouth. I feel your erection poking my stomach and I push you over to get back on top you slide your arms around my waist. I rub the head of your cock against my clit and I look deep into your eyes "now" I ask you groan "Now" I slide down hard taking you all in, I moan at the length and size of you deep inside me. We are still for a moment, I bite my bottom lip and start to ride you slow and hard, I feel you pushing against me wanting to go harder, I push down hard pounding against you as you moan and throw you head back in ecstacy. I go harder and faster feeling my orgasm build, I lean over and reach the head board for leverage. I push hard pounding against you. You slap my ass and tell me how fucking hot I am and how much your going to cum for me. I scream as I cum again down your cock, dripping all over you and dripping down my thighs. You turn me over into doggy position and start to fuck me from behind, I moan as you bite my neck and shoulder I feel us both start to get close, I push harder against you matching your thrusts, you rub my clit as I push back, you whisper in my ear how hot I am and how much you want to cum for me. I moan as I cum for a third time, I feel your cock get ready to cum, you turn me over on my back as you pull out, you pull your cock over me and moan my name as you cum loads covering me from head to toe in your cum. you collapse back against the pillow, I taste your cum off my tits, "mmmmmm tasty just as I thought you would be" you smile as I say "I think its time for a shower" You laugh and follow me down the hall. I turn on the shower and hop in, you start massaging my body all over, washing me free of your cum. I do the same for you, concentrating on your cock, I feel you get hard in my hand. I drop to my knees and dig my nails in your thighs sucking you slow and hard, you moan as you stick your hand on the back of my head and fuck my mouth, "Fuck you have a great mouth" I hear you say as I taste your precum. I suck harder and faster deep throating your cock, I rub and squeeze your balls. You push harder into my throat you start to groan as you shoot another big load down my throat. I look up into your eyes as I swallow. We towel off and get dressed just as I hear someone arrive back home. I say "thank you for my hot first expirence I hope to do it again real soon" you smile and laugh and say "am free tomorrow night, feel free to come over" I smile, we kiss each other not wanting to stop. We come up for breath and say farewell. I walk back home happy and content and start getting excited thinking what tomorrow will bring........
