SNOW CAMP — Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre's children's shows aren't mere child's play.
While the actors and actresses do get a chance to include some improvisation and over-the-top antics, this year's offerings, "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Ugly Duckling," also teach important messages of acceptance and kindness.
Alexandra "Alex" Stroud, who performs in both "The Ugly Duckling" as Mrs. Duck and "Sleeping Beauty" as Queen Mathilde, said "Ugly Duckling" has an underlying theme of "it's important how you treat others. This show teaches us how we should take care of animals and each other."
"There's a transition that goes on with the character of Prissy, too," Stroud said. "She starts appreciating the other characters more."
Puja Tolton, who plays Susie, said the show is also suitable for pre-teens and teenagers because of its focus on inner beauty and self-esteem. "The Ugly Duckling" is written by Karen Letts with music by Cat Ello and Karen Letts.
Jay Williams donned a turtle shell and a helmet on Tuesday afternoon prior to the rehearsal of "The Ugly Duckling."
As he crawled on the ground, posing for a photo, Williams had a big smile on his face.
Getting a chance to do the children's shows, Williams said, has been something he has enjoyed the last four years.
"We all have fun doing them," he added.
These bigger-than-life characters that some children and adults have read about it in Grimm's fairy tales or seen on Disney movies, gives them "the opportunity to have fun and still teach a message," said director Ed Whitehead.
In "Sleeping Beauty," Spencer Miller's character, Rolly, is obsessed with video games, especially "The Legend of Zelda." When Rolly's family travels to France and is visiting a museum there, he is transported from the 20th century back in time to the Middle Ages, where he encounters Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty). "Sleeping Beauty" is based on the book by Janet Stanford with lyrics by Andrea Dodds and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma.
"It may give you a chance to brush up on your French, too," Miller said with a laugh. A few French words and phrases are used in the production of "Sleeping Beauty."
The beauty of the children's shows at Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre, Whitehead said, "is that we can take a story that everyone knows and put a different twist on it."
The children's shows are performed at 10 a.m. on Saturday mornings and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday nights now through the end of August. Opening night for "Sleeping Beauty" is 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and "The Ugly Duckling" premieres at 10 a.m. July 13. Tickets are $5 each (for both children and adults). A character meal is available, prior to the shows, at Ye Old Country Kitchen, which is located next to the drama site. It gives children a chance to interact with the characters from "The Ugly Duckling" and "Sleeping Beauty." Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling (336) 376-6948.

Thunderstorms in the area this morning through tomorrow afternoon
Watering techniques for lawns and gardens vary with the season and the species.
Beware the promise of "natural" landscapes, there is still plenty of maintenance involved in tending a "Back to Nature" garden.
Thanks to the long, cold winter, spring flora has returned stronger than ever. Here's our roundup of this season's prettiest bounty, all across the country.
Whether they're growing deadly plants or rich with Renaissance-era statues, these strangely beautiful gardens are full of mysterious charm.
Maintaining a healthy growth of perennials in the garden is easy to do, provided you follow a few important steps.
Research suggests that things like temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation can all play a role in making us feel crummy—and even increase the risk for some serious health problems.
Gardeners have always been interested in the weather, and with the advent of major media coverage of climate change, weather is an almost daily concern.
Homes in drought-prone areas benefit from incorporating xeriscaping into their outdoor spaces.
Sep 20, 2011; 5:00 AM ET Why do leaves change from green to beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow in the fall?

A Silent Focus On White

Wow Carol, you have a lot of whites there, and that big droplet is really marvelous. I saw also the full moon last night but i can't see it on my window and am too lazy to come down the building, haha. Anyway, there still are many more full moons to come. Your animals are also very lovely. How are you now? take care.

Oh my... so exquisite! I haven't seen a porcupine since I left Vermont... yours is one of the few blogs I encourage my wife to take a look at regularly. There is so much life about your place! We did a private garden tour with my garden group a couple nights ago and saw three gardens. Sarah's comment was how quiet they were... virtually no birds. Last evening we had a group visiting our gardens and socializing in the gazebo... we could barely hear one another for all the birds singing. We also did some group acapella singing and one person commented that the louder we sang, the louder the birds sang... such a wonderful post you've shared today! Sincerely, Larry

Simply stunning! Your photos and gardens are always full of inspiration for me. I love the porcupine, what a treat to see such an unusual creature.

This was a wonder filled post.

Very nice photos! The hydrangeas in full bloom always make me want to hop in and take a nap, they look so fluffy and soft.

Thank you so much for sharing everyone! You are so kind to visit. The little critter in the first shot is a moma Porcupine climbing down from an old apple tree. It was not our first encounter . . . a prickly post coming up. It was my words that were prickly the little family just want to eat my apple tree! Yes, Rob, that is Yucca. I hope you are all enjoying the summer or winter depending on where you are. I so wish for rain for those who need it.

Spectacular Carol! What beautiful shots. I am puzzled by the little critter in the tree in the first picture though. What is it? The bird closeups are so pretty.

- Phillip said...
Absolutely stunning! Do you have problems with deer eating your plants?
- July 16, 2011 at 3:18 PM
- Carol said...
Thank you Phillip! The deer do nibble now and then but they have never wiped me out of any flower or plant. They will eat my veggie greens come cool weather . . . only after the frost. I manage the land to feed all of us and it seems to work. Once in awhile there is a new buck on the block and they have done damage to my evergreen hedges. I do not blame them so for the "deer" ticks either. I find that I have problems when I have rabbits and mice. I love the deer but I am firm with them when need be.

The Red-eyed Vireo photos are just cute, loved them. Never seen a porcupine before, and you have them in the back forty!
- July 16, 2011 at 10:37 PM
First of all . . . a porcupine! I look forward to the follow-up, but hope for you and your apple tree that you've seen the last of him! You must never tire of seeing the moon rising over the hills. And I love how you capture native fauna eye-to-eye. As for the entire post as a whole, your white theme is perfect . . . very meditative.

Oh, Carol, what lovely photos! The cloud and moonscapes are just exquisite. And it's so wonderful to see raindrops on those beautiful yucca blossoms--it actually made me laugh to realize that yucca can grow so happily out there along with the--is it a lady's slipper of some sort in the bottom photo? I hope the porcupine and her family are learning to behave themselves.

Carol, I love the variety of whites in your garden. All over my garden, white spider egg cases are hatching out zillions of tiny spiders. -Jean

A disturbing new trend—"pet flipping"—has been getting a lot of attention this week.
Pet flipping involves a criminal picking up a pet, either by stealing the animal or claiming to be the pet parent of a missing pet, and then quickly selling the animal for a profit. Is your blood boiling yet? It gets worse!
According to Time, pet flipping is on the rise in cities including Kansas City, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The stolen dogs are often purebred and very valuable. In March, an Indianapolis man was arrested after a three-month investigation found he had been stealing dogs for years, mostly purebred German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
"Many of these pets are housed in puppy mill-like conditions until they can be flipped—no food or water, caged and sick," Dawn Contos, of Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, said in an interview following the arrest.
For tips on finding a lost pet, please visit our pet care section.
We'll be on Katie on Monday, July 22 to talk about pet flipping. Check your local listings and tune in!
It is very sad that you gave up on those poor shelter pets because they had abuse issues. I have a large rescue dog (106 pound black lab mix) who had very severe abuse issues when we adopted him when he was about 9 months old. It was a lot of hard work and dedication that brought him to be the amazingly loving, caring, playful, happy guy he is today. Had we given up on him because of his abuse issues like you did, he would be deprived of the life he deserves. If you are not willing to stick it through and work on the problems like you would with a child, than you probably are not fit to be an adoptive parent to a rescue dog.
Same here. Shelter dogs are fantastic and they definitely appreciate having a second chance more than a pet store dog. I adopted my dog she was a mess with a laundry list a mile long of behavior issues. The only reason the shelter even let me adopt her in the first place was because I am a trainer. It took me 2 years to correct all of her issues, then I spent another year training and socializing her. Now she works as my service dog and is the best damn dog I could ever hope to have the pleasure of knowing. She is an absolute dream and I cannot possibly imagine my life without her. She just celebrated her 17th birthday and is still going strong!
Are you kidding? Do you have ANY idea of the DEPLORABLE conditions dogs and puppies from puppy mills endure? Have you ever seen a puppy rescued from a puppy mill? I have and it is nothing I would wish on any animal. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Bridgette- I'm sorry to hear what you were put through by the shelter. It IS true what you said about shelter animals; I'd say about half the animals they take in have been abused & are in bad health. I have 3 shelter cats & 2 of them were previously abused (one was just a kitten when; according to the SPCA; was covered w/ tar). Don't stop voicing your experience, it just may get the attention of shelter employees.
Elaine, I appreciate your voice of kindness and understanding. Some of these people are just so rabid (if you'll excuse the phrase) and mean! Nasty! Ban pet stores? Ban purebred breeders? Ban... Get a grip! It is making me so angry to read this because so many of you are so unforgiving, judgmental and reactionary. Please transfer some of the love you feel for your pets to other people.
Seems all these problem dogs have something in common...you. Oh and "legalizing and regulating puppy mills" sure bc the government does a great job at regulating things, not to mention a surplus of cashflow they were wondering how to spend... and the answer to the growing pet population is to continue breeding more pets? As far as your statement about banning pet stores will not stop puppy mills....please join my 3rd grade social studies class when we teach about supply and demand. When there is no demand for these puppies, the people who are in the business of supplying them will stop. People are more likely to care for a pet they pay for rather than adopt...have you ever Googled specific breed rescue groups? Oh my goodness, I have to stop addressing your stupidity, as I am becoming more and more irritated the more I read your moronic perspective.
Yes Jennifer! When we're not killing millions of dogs each year, maybe I'd be willing to entertain these ridiculous assertions. I guess Bridgette doesn't get that the shelters are not there - and don't have the funds - to bring these poor dogs back to perfect health. But there are RESCUE groups who do get vet care and scrupulously interview potential adopters. I would imagine Bridgette wouldn't have lived up to their standards.

When I was still trying to be Catholic, I was convinced that a place without animals would be no kind of heaven for me, and I wouldn't want to go. Still, letting in pets, as has been mentioned above, lets in the camel's nose (ie let in the nose and soon the whole camel follows, AKA slippery slope), where do you draw the line? Do those who admire butterflies get butterflies in? How about someone who found leeches beautiful in life, does this open up heaven for leeches? I suppose a zoophile Christian will just say something non sequitur like, "God can accomplish anything. those who love their pets get to have them in heaven." If it were me, I'd want the whole schlemiel, all plants, all animals, fungi, algae, bacteria, etc; as well as rain, snow sunshine, breezes, thunder and lightening. In which case, I might as well stay put right here.
Except eventually you'll die and then you'll still have to decide who gets to come with you to heaven (if those are now the rules God plays by.)
It's all so convoluted and ridiculous!

SBA head: Agency will avoid major blow from cuts
Friday - 2/22/2013, 4:50pm EST
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The head of the U.S. Small Business Administration says she doesn't expect operations at the agency to be dramatically affected by automatic federal budget cuts scheduled to begin March 1.
Administrator Karen Mills said that the SBA won't need to furlough employees because it already cut staffers through early retirements. "We are down the requisite amount of expenses, but we're not having to furlough to do it," Mills said in a Friday meeting with reporters.
Mills also expects little impact on the amount of loans the SBA guarantees. According to the White House, SBA loan guarantees would be cut by up to $902 million. In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the agency guaranteed $30 billion. But Mills said demand for one type of loan, known as the 504 loan, is expected to fall this year, and that will likely mean the agency will be able to meet demand for its other loans. There was a sharp increase in 504 loans last year because of a now-expired provision allowing them to be used as a mortgage refinancing tool.
"We are not slowing down giving loans to anyone," Mills said.
Mills says that many small businesses have already felt the impact of the budget cuts that are known, in congressional parlance, as sequestration. She noted that contracts at the Pentagon, the agency that has the biggest federal contracting budget, were down sharply in December in anticipation of the budget cuts.
"Small businesses suffered a large part of that because spending was delayed in anticipating of sequestration, and so they didn't get their contracts," she said.
Mills announced last week that she plans to leave the SBA this year, but would stay in her post until a successor is chosen and sworn in. She declined Friday to speculate on who that might be. Mills, who worked for private equity firms before coming to the SBA in 2009, said she's undecided about what she'll do next.

Revolutionary Chemistry for Sustainable Development
Chemistry is at the heart of processes and products that meet our most fundamental needs for food, shelter, and health. We also use chemistry to develop materials vital to advances in biotechnology, computing, and telecommunications. While chemistry has unquestionably improved our lives, these advances have also created unintended environmental problems. Green chemistry is a fundamental shift away from the traditional model of using laws and regulations to protect the environment. It is a new way of thinking about how this central science can minimize risk to consumers and reduce environmental impacts. It uses renewable resources rather than nonrenewable ones to produce products. Many forward-looking companies are embracing green chemistry-not only to protect the environment, but because it is good for the bottom line. Public policy can speed the adoption of this revolutionary chemistry. Tamara Nameroff's presentation will explore how green chemistry is moving from the laboratory to full-scale production. She will also discuss policy options to create incentives and overcome roadblocks to the adoption of green chemistry by scientists, stakeholders, and industry.
Nameroff is the Head of Policy Affairs at the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society. She is responsible for developing, managing, and administering the Society's policy analysis and outreach programs. A chemist by training, she was the 1996-97 Geological Society of America Congressional Science Fellow. She spent her fellowship year in the office of Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) where she worked on environmental and natural resource issues. After the fellowship, she was the Climate Task Force Coordinator for President Clinton's Council on Sustainable Development, where she worked with stakeholders from industry, environmental groups, and all levels of government to develop consensus options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Her Ph.D. in analytical and environmental chemistry is from the University of Washington.
Tamara Nameroff's lecture is sponsored by the Robert's Environmental Center of Claremont McKenna College.
Attack on America
Why has America always been the focus of so much animosity both at home and abroad, despite its nearly universal regard as one of the high points of human civilization? Norman Podhoretz, one of the founding fathers of neoconservatism, will speak to this topic in an Athenaeum address and discussion sponsored by the Salvatori Center of Claremont McKenna College.
Podhoretz, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and editor-at-large of Commentary magazine, started his career on the political left. However, as the 1960s wore on, he began to confront and to question the most cherished orthodoxies of liberalism, including an indictment of what he felt to be a patronizing, government-oriented approach to racial issues. By the later 1960s he was a trenchant critic of former political bedfellows.
In the 1970s Podhoretz aligned himself squarely with attempts to roll back communism. A member of the Council on Foreign Relations, he was also one of the founders of the now-defunct Committee on the Present Danger and the Committee for the Free World.
Not only a political commentator but also a literary critic, in The Bloody Crossroads: Where Literature and Politics Meet (1986) Podhoretz demonstrated the destructive effects of communism on 20th century writing. Most recently, Podhoretz has published My Love Affair with America: The Cautionary Tale of a Cheerful Conservative (2000) and is just finishing a new book entitled The Prophets: Their World and Their Words in an Age of Idolatry (2002).
Norman Podhoretz was born in Brooklyn, New York, and educated at Columbia University, Cambridge University, and the Jewish Theological Seminary.
Reflections on the Conduct of U.S. Foreign Policy: A Forty-Year Perspective
During the weeks following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we have all focused our attention on America's foreign affairs. Have our policies over the past four decades changed adequately to meet the new threats of anti-Americanism that led to the terrorist attacks? Do we bear any responsibility for alienating groups with our foreign policy?
Author of United States Foreign Policy: Perspectives and Analysis (1966) -perhaps one of the most influential works of foreign policy in the twentieth century-Gerberding's distinguished background is ideal for a retrospective look at foreign affairs. In his Athenaeum address Gerberding will present a cogent and critical appraisal of the transformations in foreign affairs affecting our policy decisions.
Gerberding earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Macalester College and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Chicago, as well as honorary doctorates from Whitman College and Occidental College. After serving as a Congressional staff member and consultant to the Department of Defense, Gerberding formed an admirable career teaching, conducting research, and overseeing operations at institutions of higher education. His positions are impressive, ranging from Vice President for Academic Affairs at Occidental College, Executive Vice-Chancellor at UCLA, and Chancellor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to President of the University of Washington. Today, William P. Gerberding Hall at the University of Washington stands as a testimony to his distinguished service.
Gerberding currently serves as member or cochairman on numerous boards, including those of the Seattle Opera, the McGraw Hall Campaign, Washington Mutual Inc., and Safeco Corporation. He is trustee of the Gates Cambridge Trust.
Gerberding's lecture at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies. Please join us for a timely reflection on US foreign policy with one of the field's distinguished experts.

Lee Konitz has always been a lone wolf. Never the flashiest or most aggressive of saxophonists, he has nevertheless built a reputation as a living legend from the early days of cool jazz. During his remarkable career Konitz has performed featured solos with the likes of Miles Davis and Lennie Tristano in addition to forming the Lee Konitz Nonet. For Konitz, being a jazz musician means being an improviser, and being an improviser means taking risks and searching for new challenges.
When Konitz first came to prominence in the late 1940s he was one of the very few alto players of the period able to escape the dominating presence of Charlie Parker to create a completely personal, recognizable sound and style on the instrument. He developed a demeanor that was thoughtful and reserved, and a tone nearly transparent but with a lithe lyricism and a resilience that suggests shadowy undercurrents of emotion.
In addition to committing his time to jazz education, Konitz currently tours extensively throughout Europe and Japan and continues to present his music with a mature and creative perspective.
Please join us for an outstanding evening of jazz featuring Lee Konitz with the American Jazz Institute Orchestra, Mark Masters conductor.
Human Rights and the Death Penalty in the USA: An International Perspective
Piers Bannister has worked for Amnesty International (London) since 1988. For seven of those years his work involved campaigning in British schools and universities against human rights violation across the globe. Since 1995, Piers has been responsible for Amnesty's campaigning and publications on the death penalty in the USA, and all the organization's concerns in Canada, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago. Piers has authored numerous Amnesty documents, including "Fatal Flaws: Innocence and the Death Penalty" (1988), "Killing with Prejudice: Race and the Death Penalty in the USA" (1999), "A Life in the Balance: The Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal" (2000), and "The Killing of Michael Gayle: Authorities Yet to Hold Police or Army Accountable (Jamaica)" (2000).
Bannister has presented Amnesty International concerns to representatives of governments of various nations, including the USA, Guyana, France, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, and the UK. Most recently, Piers was part of a delegation that met the Prime Minister of Jamaica and his cabinet to discuss Amnesty's concerns at the level of police brutality and killings in the country.
Piers has visited death row prisoners in Jamaica, Georgia, Alabama, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Texas and has represented Amnesty's views to the media in Israel, Iran, the UK, USA, France, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, and Norway.
Before joining the staff of Amnesty International, Piers trained as an actor, ran a concert hall and traveled widely. Alongside his passion for campaigning for human rights are his love of music, film, and SCUBA diving.
Piers Bannister comes to the Athenaeum as part of the series Psychology and Law, sponsored by the department of psychology at Claremont McKenna College.
The Politics of Worry: Government vs. the Free Market, Which is Worse?
P. J. O'Rourke is an equal-opportunity satirist. Though he considers himself a "cigar-smoking conservative," he ridicules all political persuasions. As he is famous for saying, "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." On the other hand, O'Rourke has serious concerns about the government not controlling at least a portion of the money and power. So, which is worse? The government or the free market? In his Athenaeum lecture, O'Rourke will examine this subject and other political issues pertinent to contemporary society.
O'Rourke attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and graduate school at Johns Hopkins, where he was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow. After receiving an M.A. in English, he began a career in journalism at small newspapers in Baltimore and New York.
In the 1970s O'Rourke became the editor-in-chief of The National Lampoon and played a key role in the 1964 High School Yearbook Parody (1974). A decade later as a roving reporter, O'Rourke covered the civil war in Lebanon, the Palestinian uprising, the troubles in Northern Ireland, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War, and other conflicts and crises. His skill in investigative reporting eventually landed him the job as foreign affairs editor and political writer for Rolling Stone Magazine.
Besides his job at Rolling Stone, O'Rourke has worked for The New York Times, The New Republic, Harper's, Esquire, Forbes, and Parade. He has also written nine bestselling books, including Parliament of Whores: A Lone Homorist Attempts to Explain the Entire U.S. Government (1991), Give War a Chance (1992) and Eat the Rich (1998).
With over one-million words of journalism, appearances on programs such as Politically Incorrect and Larry King Live, and more citations in The Penguin Dictionary of Humorous Quotations than any other writer alive, O'Rourke has established himself as America's premier political satirist.
P.J. O'Rourke's Athenaeum appearance is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. The dinner is available for CMC persons only. The talk is open to all on a first-come basis, no reservations required.
The Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health
In a full-star review Publishers Weekly wrote that Laurie Garrett's book Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (2000) is "on par with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962). . . this chilling exploration of the decline of public health should be taken seriously by leaders and policy-makers around the world."
Garrett's Athenaeum lecture, based on material from Betrayal of Trust, will bring the audience into countries around the world-such as India, Zaire, Russia, and the United States-and reveal how numerous health catastrophes are occurring simultaneously and creating a global health disaster.
As a science writer for New York Newsday, Garrett has traveled the world to report and research the spread of some of the most deadly viruses in existence. She is a frequent contributor to such publications as The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and Foreign Affairs.
Her skill in engaging and intelligent scientific commentary is obvious. She remains the only person to have won all of the top four awards in American journalism: the Pulitzer Prize, the George Foster Peabody Broadcasting Award, the George C. Polk Award for Best International Reporting, and the Overseas Press Club of America Award. Additionally, her first book, The Coming Plague (1994), was named one of the best books of 1994 by The New York Times Book Review. Garrett graduated with honors in biology from the University of California-Santa Cruz and attended graduate school in the department of Bacteriology and Immunology at UC-Berkeley. Her interest in journalism was sparked when she started reporting on science news at KPFA, a local radio show. She later moved on to become the science correspondent for NPR.
Please join us at the Athenaeum for what promises to be a provocative and compelling discussion on the current state of global health. Laurie Garrett's lecture is part of the series Health Care: New Realities.

Connect your enterprise to a flexible and optimized network.
The Application is the center of the universe, but it is measured on user experience, and the network is the medium that makes that experience. In today's world, more and more applications are of a mission critical nature. HP's view is to look at all aspects of the network environment for possible slowdowns, effectively looking at the packet lifecycle, while recognizing that different primary protocols cause different applications to be affected in different ways across the end to end network, and that there is rarely a single "silver bullet" for any given application. Moreover, the potential areas for improvement grow, as one looks beyond single application improvement opportunities to the suite of mission critical applications supporting the overall business.
HP's approach to network infrastructure optimization is anchored by a comprehensive suite of lifecycle services that focus on the five optimization topology domains: inside the Data Center (DC LAN), Data Center to Data Center (DC - DC), Wide Area Network (WAN), Campus LAN, Wireless LAN (WLAN).

Belgraves - A Thompson Hotel
20 Chesham Place, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Belgravia
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The old song did say that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere — and it's a proposition that's been confirmed again and again by the Manhattan-born Thompson hotel group. For their latest test they've chosen London, another big-league luxury-boutique town, and in the neighborhood of Belgravia a setting that's no stranger at all to high-end hospitality.
Belgraves aims to mix the local brand of luxury with their American-grown sensibility, and you'd have to say their British design team has hit the mark — the occasional decorative Union Jack proving almost superfluous. It's perhaps a slightly darker, more mid-century look than many London luxury boutiques, a bit of a Mad Men influence, though with Sferra linens and REN bath products the comforts are quite up to local standards.
The library bar is the sort of private-public space that London does so well — not a hint of the velvet-rope scene that's so common Stateside. Pont St. restaurant, led by acclaimed chef Sophie Michell, aims to mix hotel guests with West London locals, and again, sights are set high; this is the embassy district, for one thing, and it's not for nothing that nearby Sloane Square has become a byword for upper-class London. Time will tell whether Belgraves becomes a fixture on this landscape, but it's clear early on that the Thompson group isn't lacking for confidence.

Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula is bringing former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers back into rugby to assist with development.
Mbalula told Sowetan that the government wants De Villiers to develop the best model for grassroots rugby in the country.
'We are engaging him,' he said. 'The man has a wealth of knowledge that we need to tap into. Peter has done well for the country, including winning big events with the junior national teams.'
Mbalula believes that De Villiers, who was coach of the 2005 world champion Baby Bok side, could assist with the development of talent in less traditional rugby centres such as townships and villages.
'There is talent in abundance in the townships and villages in Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and the Eastern Cape. We want to see schools in Seshego, Bloemfontein, Mamelodi and other townships also playing rugby and producing great players for the Springboks.'
However, De Villiers said on Monday that he had no knowledge of Mbalula's proposal, but said he would be interested in taking up a development post.
'Let me tell you, if one can give back to your country it is good news,' De Villiers told SAPA.

Hi, I'm a huge fan of Harris and am currently arguing about his book (Letter to a Christian Nation) with some Christian friends of mine. I would appreciate your help with the following two criticisms:
On p. 20, Harris writes (regarding the ten commandments), "The first four of these ... have nothing to do…with morality." Although the first four commandments do not concern our relationship with other human beings, they do concern our relationship with ourselves and god. But certainly our relationship with ourselves (and God, if you already believe Christianity) will impact our relationships with others.
On p. 76, Harris writes/quotes, "If there is a God, he has an inordinate fondness for Beetles [as there are now 350,000 known species of beetles]. One would have hope that an observation this devastating would have closed the book on creationism for all time." Could someone please make his argument much more explicit for my sake. My Christian friends aren't buying it, and I'm not selling it well
I really appreciate any help you might give me.

Even as blowout victims in three of their last four games, members of the Wake Forest basketball team figure it's not a lost cause.
"There's still some wins out there for us," senior guard C.J. Harris said.
Today's game against Florida State begins a stretch of three home outings across a four-game stretch.
"We're going back home and that's not a magical formula to play well," Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik said.
The latest shortcomings came in Tuesday night's 87-62 loss at North Carolina. That means the Demon Deacons have a four-game losing streak.
"The way we're losing should be enough," Harris said.
Some players sound like they're taking responsibility for the latest round of losing.
"We weren't aggressive enough, weren't strong enough with the ball," Harris said. "That's on us."
Bzdelik has tinkered with the lineup. Freshman forward Tyler Cavanaugh was in the starting group for the first time since November when the Demon Deacons played at North Carolina.
"They're all going to play," Bzdelik said, downplaying the impact of the specific starting five.
But will they play well enough?
"We're not playing," junior forward Travis McKie said. "We're not defending. Teams can see that. We've just got to figure it out."
Florida State is aiming for consecutive victories for the first time in a month.
Who: Florida State (13-9, 5-4) at Wake Forest (10-12, 3-7)
When: Noon Saturday (ESPN2)
Where: Joel Coliseum, Winston-Salem
Series: Wake Forest leads 23-20

Scouting Report-Clausen to me has the look of an NFL quarterback. He's got ideal NFL size, and just watching him throw, there's little to critique. He's got a tight, fast release, good upper body mechanics and more than adequate arm strength. From a technical standpoint, Clausen is excellent at reading defenses and making good decisions on the field. He knows when to take something off a throw and shows excellent touch on the short/intermediate balls and gets plenty of air under his deep throws. From an intangibles standpoint, Clausen is a leader on the field, shows a ton of poise, and always looks in control and commands his team. Clausen plays out of a pro style offense and that is a huge advantage he has over other top quarterback prospects. He's a student of the game and has no problem putting in lots and lots of time on the practice field and in the film room to get better. On the downside, for a kid out of a West Coast offense he needs to improve his footwork, especially under pressure and needs to get better selling the playaction fake. But compared to his peers he's way ahead. He also needs to learn to be a little more pocket aware as far as stepping up, keeping his head up field and making the throw rather than break contain and scrambling if he doesn't need to, although he does throw well on the run, and is nimble enough to get some yards with his feet.
Draft Status-If Clausen declares, I have a hard time not seeing him as the first quarterback off the board, which means a top 3 pick. He's more NFL ready than Locker or Bradford or Tebow, and he should have a really solid offseason. There are only a couple of the 5 worst teams that don't need a QB so him going no.1 overall isn't out of the question.
Final Analysis-Clausen's career at Notre Dame got off onto an interesting start, but the past two seasons he's been all that's advertised. While he doesn't have a single feature you can point too, like a huge arm, or great mobility, there are very few holes in his game, and his intangibles are really off the charts. It's like he does everything really well but nothing really exceptional, and in this NFL you need guys without big flaws. The speed of the NFL game looks to be the one thing Clausen will have to contend with, but he should be able to adjust.
Reminds me of: Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons-He probably doesn't have the quite the arm strength if Ryan, but in terms of a skill set and physical stature they are very similar. Also, in terms of leadership and poise, both are very similar.

In the latest "Year in Review" piece, I take a look at Gaul's season, which featured a training stint with Hammarby and loans to NASL sides Ft. Lauderdale Strikers and the Carolina Railhawks, as well as zero first team appearances for LA.
When I spoke to Gaul about his struggles in 2013, he offered a solution that could lead to greater success as he looks into year three of his professional career.
"I need to get a consistent spot," Gaul told LA Galaxy Insider of his frustrating season. "It's a curse being a utility guy because you bounce around different positions and never be solidified and consistent in one."
Where Gaul goes from here remains to be seen, but the 24-year-old is hopeful that he can stay with LA next year.
"I would love to stay in LA, but we'll see what happens. We spoke a little bit and everyone is going to find out in a couple of weeks," said Gaul. "I just want to bounce back and be in the 18 and be in the coaches' minds all season."

Robbie Keane got back to his goal scoring ways on Friday with the game-winning strike in Ireland's 3-0 victory over Latvia in Dublin, which was the first victory for new manager Martin O'Neill.
Keane's 62nd international goal came in the 21st minute of play when he tucked an Aiden McGeady corner into the back of the Latvian net. The LA Galaxy captain exited in the 73rd minute, but Ireland added two more goals in the second half after tallies by McGeady and Shane Long.
Ireland return to action on Tuesday against Poland in Pozan.

CARSON, Calif. – Brian Perk endured a difficult season, but after recovering from three injuries, the 24-year-old goalkeeper is hopeful for his prospects for 2014.
In the first edition of the LA Galaxy Insider Year in Review, I look back at Perk's frustrating season that saw him battle through a hernia surgery and two concussions. During his end of the season conversation with reporters, Perk stated that he is heading into the offseason as healthy as he's felt in "two years" after overcoming what he described as "freak" concussions.
As he heads into next season, he'll have to battle with emerging goalkeeper Brian Rowe, who took full advantage of Perk's injury issues to carve out a position as LA's second choice between the pipes.
"It'll be fun. He's done well. He got an opportunity and ran with it. We'll see where the chips fall in preseason and we'll battle it out and see how it goes," said Perk. "The most important thing is to say healthy, but for me, I've put some things together in my mind. I've been here a long time now and very time I step on practice field, I feel really confident. And in the reserve games that I've played in here and there, I feel like I feel I do really well. It's just getting a chance to put what I've done on the practice field and reserve teams for the first team, if I'm that lucky."

12/6-- Coaching Staff
The LA Galaxy locked down two major pieces for the 2014 season as they re-signed defender Todd Dunivant and signed midfielder Baggio Husidic on a free transfer.
Just how much has Dunivant blossomed into a Galaxy staple? Above is a photo of Dunivant's first stint with the Galaxy when he participated in LA's 2005 friendly against Real Madrid. Interestingly enough, that match was my first at the venue formerly known as The Home Depot Center.
Lastly, to familiarize you with Husidic, below are a series of clips of Husidic's time with Chicago and a goal that he scored for Hammarby.
Bonus points for anyone that notices the huge amount of snow on camera in the last clip.
Chicago Fire
A.J. DeLaGarza is away on his first international tour with Guam and he's clearly already a focal point of the federation.
In a team photo taken before their match against Laos, which will kick off at 1 a.m. on Friday, DeLaGarza has already been placed at the center. Also included in Guam's squad is former Galaxy Under-18 forward Josh Borja, who can be seen on the top row donning the number 11. Borja played with the Galaxy U-18's during their inaugural season and was the first LA academy player to score a goal for a full international team.

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy locked down two vital pieces for the upcoming 2014 MLS regular season by announcing the re-signing of defender Todd Dunivant and the signing of midfielder Baggio Hušidić, but what impact will the pair have next year?
Dunivant has been the Galaxy's "Mr. Consistency" for the past five years, by appearing in at least 25 matches each season. In 2013, Dunivant was again his reliable self as the left back made 25 appearances in league play while tallying two assists. During the team's final media availability, the 32-year-old revealed that the deal will be keep him with the Galaxy for the next two seasons, where he should be able to continue serving as one of the team's leaders on defense. That leadership could become pivotal as he mentors his deputy 23-year-old Greg Cochrane, who showcases the same type of workman-like play that has become a Dunivant staple. In his second year, Cochrane may make his own case for the left back position after a solid rookie season that saw him make 12 appearances, mostly filling in for Dunivant.
Hušidić is a more intriguing addition as he joins a potentially congested central midfield group for the Galaxy. The 26-year-old is coming off limited playing time with Hammarby as he made 41 appearances over two seasons with the Swedish Superettan club after a successful stint with the Chicago Fire. A tenacious midfielder displayed shades of developing into a two-way threat during his time with Chicago, but is likely to be used as a defensive option that will be expected to assist in the building of attacks. Where Hušidić fits in remains to be seen, however, as Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena would be required to drop either Marcelo Sarvas or Juninho to fit the former Hammarby player into his position in central midfield. Whichever player does start, however, will likely be the recipient of an uptick offensively as the Hušidić will be entrusted with the defensive responsibilities.

LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo has advanced to the "Gran Final" of FutbolMLS' Latino del Año 2013.
Penedo advanced past Colorado Rapids midfielder Hendry Thomas in the quarterfinals and will meet Real Salt Lake's Alvaro Saborio, FC Dallas goalkeeper Raul Fernandez, and reigning champion Houston Dynamo midfielder Boniek Garcia.
Robbie Keane has no intention of leaving Southern California.
The LA Galaxy captain told Sky Sports on Tuesday that he has "verbally agreed" to a two-year contract that may extend to three seasons which could make LA the final stop for the 33-year-old forward. The Irishman told Sky back in January that he had extended his initial deal with the Galaxy by another two seasons.
"I'm certainly excited about that and playing for the Galaxy in the future. I didn't think I was going to go there and then come back to the Premier League, but I'm enjoying my football there and the club has been very good to me," Keane told Sky. "As soon as you hit that 30 age mark in football, people are reluctant to give you contracts but this will be the third contract I've signed since I've been there and it shows the faith they have in me.
Keane is coming off a season that saw him score 16 goals and 11 assists in 23 appearances during an MVP season. When speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Ireland's friendlies against Latvia and Poland, the Galaxy captain admitted that he's already begun the preparations of what he'll do after hanging up his boots—even though he has no intention to do so any time soon.
"I've still got a good few years left in me. But I'm looking to do my coaching badges in January in Ireland," Keane added. "The FAI has a good structure here to help players if they want to do that. It's something I'm passionate about and need to get into if I want to stay in the game."
"Since I've been there, it's been a strong league. It's a tough league because of the structure that works there with everyone competing at roughly the same level. Every team can beat every other, so it's very competitive," Keane added. "When people come over to play in it, I always tell them, 'don't think you're coming over for a holiday'. There's a lot of pressure on the three designated players as people are expecting you to deliver all the time."
In an interview with LAGalaxy.com, LA Galaxy players Landon Donovan, Todd Dunivant and Jaime Penedo look back at the 2013 season.

OXFORD, Ohio – Alex Wideman scored two goals and Ryan McKay turned aside all 20 shots he faced to lift the No. 5/6 Miami hockey team to a 3-0 win over Canisius at Steve Cady Arena on Friday night.
The RedHawks move to 4-2-1 with the win, snapping a brief two-game winless streak in the process.
McKay made 11 solid saves in a first period that saw the RedHawks shorthanded three times. The Golden Griffins (1-3) took eight of the first 11 shots of the game, but MU weathered the storm. Miami's power play got on the board with 3:52 remaining in the opening frame. Canisius won a race to the puck in the corner, but its failed clearing attempt was grabbed by Wideman, who flung a wrist shot through traffic for his third goal of the year.
That tally sent MU to the locker room with a one-goal lead, though CC finished the period with an 11-8 edge in shots.
After killing 41 seconds of a carryover power play, the RedHawks got to business in the second period, one that saw them outshoot the Golden Griffins 14-4. MU opened up a two-goal bulge just under eight minutes into the period by turning defense into offense. Anthony Louis blocked Ben Danford's point shot, one that broke Danford's stick. Louis settled the puck and pushed the play in transition before finding Wideman, who picked a corner for his second of the night to make it a 2-0 contest going into the final intermission.
The third period saw more territorial domination by MU, with the Red and White outshooting the Golden Griffins 18-5 in the final frame. Blake Coleman capped the scoring at the 7:02 mark when he cashed in for his sixth of the season off a creative play by Matthew Caito. Caito ripped a slapper intentionally wide of the net off the high glass in the corner and the puck bounced straight to Coleman in the slot for the goal. Alex Gacek also assisted on the play.
After being outshot 11-8 in the opening frame, the RedHawks picked things up in the final 40 minutes of play and allowed only nine more shots the rest of the way. MU finished up with a 40-20 edge in shots, with 32 of them coming in the final 40 minutes. Coleman led all players with nine shots on goal and Wideman's two goals tied his career high.
The RedHawks were strong on special teams, finishing 1-for-3 on the power play and killing off all three of the Golden Griffins' tries with the man advantage.
McKay's 20 saves earned him his fifth-career shutout, his first this season. CC's Keegan Asmundson stopped 37 of 40 shots at the other end of the rink.
Miami closes out its weekend series against Canisius on Saturday night. Opening faceoff is at 7:05 p.m.

GREENVILLE – There's no place like home for the East Carolina Pirates.
Since 2009, they own a 16-2 record at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium against Conference USA opponents.
The Pirates return to their home stadium after five weeks without enjoying the chants and raucous from their own crowd.
ECU will play host to Southern Miss at noon on Saturday.
"It always feels good to come back home and get some home love from the fans and get the chance to play in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium," ECU senior linebacker Derrell Johnson said.
"My time is running out, as far as games left here, so I'm just going to enjoy every game I have at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium."
The last conference opponent to beat the Pirates at home was Southern Miss, which won 48-28 in 2011. ECU (4-2, 2-1 C-USA) played its last three games on the road, including last week's tough 36-33 triple-overtime loss to Tulane in New Orleans.
"We've been away for while so it's going great to be able to play in front of our family," ECU linebacker Gabe Woullard said.
The Pirates will attempt to bounce against a winless Southern Miss (0-5, 0-1 C-USA).
The Golden Eagles own a 27-11 lead in the series, but ECU has claimed three of the past four meetings.
Southern Miss has dropped 17 games in a row going back to the first game of last season. The previous year, it won 12 games.
"We don't overlook anybody. It's always hard to win," Woullard said. "It's college football so you have to treat every team the same."
Southern Miss quarterback Allan Bridgford has thrown for 1,116 with six touchdowns, but has tossed 11 interceptions.
"That gets us excited a little bit, especially for the secondary," Johnson said. "I'm sure they are excited about the chance of getting interceptions, as well as me dropping into coverage.
"We need to hit the quarterback and not let him feel comfortable to sit back there and have time."
The Pirates' offense put up nearly 550 yards against Tulane last week. Quarterback Shane Carden, who passed for 480 yards in the game, has 2,017 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season.
Junior Justin Hardy leads the wide receivers with 639 yards and three scores, while running back Vintavious Cooper has gained 459 yards on the ground with four touchdowns.
"This is a big game, mainly because we want to win a conference championship," Johnson said. "To do that, we must win these games.
"Every game is a big game from here on out."
The Pirates are a half game behind Marshall, who next plays Middle Tennessee State on Thursday, in the C-USA East Division standings.
Notes: Saturday's game will be the Pirates 804th game since the football program started in 1932...ECU has won 14 of its last 15 home games against C-USA East opponents...Saturday's game will be the last scheduled regular-season meeting between the schools that have played annually for 31-straight years...it will be Military Appreciation Day.
Southern Miss Golden Eagles at East Carolina Pirates
When: Saturday; noon
Television: Fox Sports Net
Coaches: Southern Miss: Todd Monken (0-5, first season); East Carolina – Ruffin McNeill (23-21, fourth season).
Key players: Southern Miss – QB Allan Bridgford, RB Kendrick Hardy, WR Rickey Bradley, DB DeBarriaus Miller. East Carolina – QB Shane Carden, WR Justin Hardy, LB Derrell Johnson; S Damon Magazu, DL Terrell Stanley, RB Vintavious Cooper.

Some of the good reasons that I am a Republican:
Democrats fought to expand slavery while Republicans fought to end it. Democrats passed discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws.Democrats supported and passed the Missouri Compromise to protect slavery.Democrats seceded from the Union in 1861 starting the Civil War. The Confederacy had one political party that supported slavery.Democrats supported and passed the Kansas Nebraska Act to expand slavery.Democrats supported and backed the Dred Scott Decision.Democrats opposed educating blacks.Democrats fought against anti-lynching laws.Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, was a "Kleagle" in the Ku Klux Klan. Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, personally filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for 14 straight hours to keep it from passage.Democrats passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil right laws enacted by Republicans. Democrats declared that they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than vote for a Republican, because the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks.Democrat President Woodrow Wilson, reintroduced segregation throughout the federal government immediately upon taking office in 1913. Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first appointment to the Supreme Court was a life member of the Ku Klux Klan, Sen. Hugo Black, Democrat of Alabama. Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt's choice for vice president in 1944 was Harry Truman, who had joined the Ku Klux Klan in Kansas City in 1922.Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt resisted Republican efforts to pass a federal law against lynching.Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt opposed integration of the armed forces.Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt personally authorized 223 "boondoggle" projects that nearly cost the allies victory in WWII.Democrat Harry S. Truman authorized the use of the atomic bomb on Japan after having rejected their offer to surrender on condition that Emperor Hirohito remain as a figurehead (Mokusatsu Decision).Democrat Harry S. Truman, acting on the advice of newly-appointed Secretary of State Robert Byrnes, opposed accepting surrender from Japan until after the second atomic bomb had been detonated over Nagasaki (Reparations Decision). Democrat Harry S. Truman rejected the advice of Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur to place sufficient troops and materiel in South Korea to fend off a possible invasion across the 38th parallel into South Korea. (Inchon and Pusan Debacles). Democrat John F. Kennedy misread the Soviets very severely contrary to the advice of former President Eisenhower with the Bay of Pigs failed invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis. Both could have provoked all-out nuclear attack and retaliation by NATO and Warsaw Pact. Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd were the chief opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.Democrats supported and backed Judge John Ferguson in the case of Plessy v Ferguson.Democrats supported the School Board of Topeka Kansas in the case of Brown v The Board of Education of Topeka Kansas.Democrat public safety commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor, in Birmingham, Ala., unleashed vicious dogs and turned fire hoses on black civil rights demonstrators.Democrats opposed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., supported KKK efforts to attack and lynch Civil Rights protesters.Democrat Georgia Governor Lester Maddox "brandished an ax and sledgehammer to prevent blacks from patronizing his restaurant.Democrat Governor George Wallace stood in front of the Alabama schoolhouse in 1963, declaring there would be segregation forever.Democrat Arkansas Governor Faubus tried to prevent desegregation of Little Rock public schools.Democrat Senator John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil rights Act.Democrat President John F. Kennedy opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King.Democrat President John F. Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI.Democrat Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy did his worst to end Collective Bargaining and with it union protection for workers.Democrat President Bill Clinton's mentor was U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright, an Arkansas Democrat and KKK-indoctrinated supporter of racial segregation. Democrat President Bill Clinton interned for J. William Fulbright in 1966-67.Bill Clinton fled military duty in 1969 to England and there renounced American citizenship, as did his wife Hillary Rodham (Clinton). Democrat Jimmy Carter gave away the Panama Canal, leaving a way for Manuel Noriega to commandeer the popularly elected government of Panama in a bloodbath coup d'état that left 4,200 Panamanians dead and another 17,000 wounded. Democrat Carter then failed to enforce UN Resolution 287, calling for military action to remove Noriega. Carter's negligence allowed the establishment of the Cartegena and Mediin Cocaine Cartels, known for destabilizing virtually all politics in Central and South America.Democrats opposed:The Emancipation ProclamationThe 13th AmendmentThe 14th AmendmentThe 15th AmendmentThe Reconstruction Act of 1867The Civil Rights Act of 1866The Railroad Limitation Act of 1870The Forest Preservation Act of 1870The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871The Civil Rights Act of 1875The Hometake Act of 1880The Economic Parity Act of 1889The Interstate Commerce Act of 1906The International Waters and Fisheries Act of 1910The Inner Cities Rehabilitation Act of 1913(Repeal of) the Sedition Act in 1914The Freedom of Speech Act of 1928The Federal Reserve Act of 1929The Minimum Wage Act of 1942The Integration Act of 1943The National Security Act of 1946Tuskeegee Airmen Memorial in DC, 1947Red Ball Express Memorial in DC 1948Korea Veterans Memorial in DC 1956The Civil Rights Act of 1957The Civil Rights Act of 1958The Civil Rights Act of 1966The United States Civil Rights Commission (1966)Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970Redistricting Act of 1973 (forced compliance voters' decisions in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, which gave blacks on-par voting rights with whites for the first time).Successful prosecution of the KKK in Tennessee and Arkansas.(Repeal of) Poll Tax Laws (1958)End of US involvement in the Vietnam War (1975)Zoning reform that eliminated 'predominance of racial structure' from insurance marketing.Consumer Protection Act of 1961 (amended in 1971).

I have had this pump for 3 years now and I love it. It is the fastest mini pump by far that I have used. In a century this last weekend I got 3 flats in one day. It pumped up the first two then I was afraid it was broken. Went home and it was a bit loose, good as new again. Really great pump!
