When your stopover in La Jolla comes to an end, you'll travel to the next highlight of your San Diego tour, the USS Midway! This decommissioned aircraft carrier is now a museum – you'll find more than 60 different naval aviation exhibits and even a collection of 25 restored WWII aircraft. This museum is truly a WWII-buff's dream.
Next, you will continue along the Southern California coast to Coronado Island. This beautiful island is home to the Hotel Del Coronado, the largest all-wood building in America, made famous by Marilyn Monroe in the movie Some Like it Hot. It's a favorite among heads of state, US presidents and Hollywood's most famous stars. After you've explored Coronado, you will travel Old Town San Diego.
San Diego's Old Town was founded in 1769 and is the site of the first European settlement on the West Coast. In Old Town, you'll find the original village, including five original adobe buildings, the Whaley House (rumored to be haunted) and much more. You'll also have time to visit the world market, Bazaar Del Mundo. Browse the market's wares before returning to your coach for the scenic drive back to Los Angeles!

The trip was amazing. A lady who is the guide and the driver was very patient, understanding, gave me very interesting information about all the places we passed and went. Sorry I forgot her name nut I remember that she was born in Brazil. I was the only person in the tour but it was not cancelled.

The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Michael was very knowledgable and engaging throughout the trip to San Diego. Shame it was a rainy day but we still got to see the beauty of a great Californian city.

Excellent trail in a wooded area (shade!) that leads to Lake Overstreet. Ample parking. Lots of nature to observe -- birds, insects, trees, flowers. Wonderful hike in a lovely park. Unfortunately, our trip was cut short due to inclement weather. We will return! Entry fee to get to trailhead in State Park.
We did the long trail (5 miles) on a very hot day. The shade made the walk very tolerable. The trail was in good condition and provided some challenges with hills. There are a couple of beautiful lookout spots to observe the lake.
I went on this trail one weekend before summer with my brother and dog. I am not a hiker yet this trail was doable and beautiful. I had a great time. I would not recommend doing this trail during the summer month but in late May there was enough shade to help keep me from dying of heat.
I have been running and cycling this trail for around 2 years now and in all.seasons. The trail is challenging in some places for me but overall it's a great trail. Make sure that you are either a member of Maclay Gardens state park or have paid to use the trial. At times there is a guy from a security...
The great part of Lake Overstreet is that you hike, run, or bike the trails almost year round, and it's almost at my back door.
The five mile loop has been a favorite with my son's Cub Scout pack, but I've also walked with friends. The Lake is beautiful, and I just discovered the back trails for mountain bikers. There's...
While there are plenty of nature trails near Tallahassee, this trail is right in the city limits. The trail system give you options, such as taking a loop or walking on toward the Maclay Gardens Park. On occasion we have seen deer and other wildlife on morning walks.
I love to be outside walking or running, but it can be a real challenge in the summer heat and humidity in Tallahassee. So I enjoy heading out to the Lake Overstreet trail that has great cover and your choice of a longer or shorter loop. Be sure to bring your water and a friend if you enjoy chatting. You...
This is my 2nd favorite trail in Tallahassee. You have to pay a small fee or buy a state park pass to walk on it (and there are plenty of free trails to walk), but it is a good distance around a lovely lake with beautiful scenery.
We tried to walk the Lake Overstreet Trail but got lost halfway due to lack of good indications. We got way off track and were lucky to meet a nice lady along the road who offered to drive us back to the parking lot in the park!
A nice collection of trails. Wide mixed use trail with 2 sections adding up to miles. 3 sections of mountain bike trails plus some "sort of" hidden ones. Pretty lake. Pluses: Bathroom near the lake and a drinking fountain along the trail. Very pretty and peaceful

Traders said the subdued demand at prevailing higher levels was mainly due to the start of "Shradhs", a period considered inauspicious in Hindu mythology for purchasing new things.
Silver also lost Rs. 400 to touch Rs. 60,600 per 1 kg.

During the broadcast Sam asked me how I thought I was doing, my response was I thing I'm doing great because I am still doing. One of the problems I've had in the past was giving up after a few weeks or a month. The longest I have ever stuck to a plan in the past was about four weeks.
I am starting my 9th week on the Self Challenge and am still enthusiastic, not even a little bored, the magazine keeps the diet and workouts fresh. I look forward to the new plans every month. Another contributing factor to my current success is the ease of the diet and exercise program. IT IS DOABLE! The food is plentiful, not unusual and not expensive. You can do all of the exercise at home by yourself or with a friend. You just have to get off the couch.
Many of my friends complain that their best years are gone, their lives are half over, they're stuck doing the same old thing every day. I say "B.S.", this is a new adventure in my life, I have a little more time then I did when my kids were at home, a little more money, and a lot more common sense. When I decided to do the challenge on January 1 what I didn't have was much energy or confidence in changing how I looked. I thought of 50 as something happening to me, a milestone marking the downward trend of my life. I thought that weighing 200 pounds was an impossible hole to dig myself out of.
Committing to make 50 a true beginning and not the beginning of the end required me to get off the couch, I had to tear up the list of "must watch" evening television programs that I had been collecting over the last year, I had to exert myself. The challenge gave me some guidelines. I made it my own. Once I got off the couch I started to feel better immediately.
The results speak for themselves; I'm happier, my family can see a difference, I laugh more and am quicker to initiate activities. At work I work smarter not longer -- I want to get out of the office and be active. I used to work frequent 16 hour days, not necessarily because I had to but because I really didn't have that much to look forward to once I got home. I sleep better but fewer hours now, and I pop out of bed ready to make a difference, not complaining about how tired I am.
I look forward to exercising. After the taping on Monday I went home cleaned the house a bit and basked in my 60 seconds of fame, and kind of took the rest of the day off. By 9 p.m. that night I was really wishing I had worked out and was anxious to get up at 5 a.m. to start strengthening at 6 a.m. When I look in the mirror, I'm happy. I think about what I'm going to wear the night before and actually get excited. Tomorrow I am wearing a skirt to work for the first time in over a year, and I know I will look good.
My hope is that like Lucy I can WALK THE WALK and help other women approaching their 50th birthday realize that this is just the beginning -- we can BE FABULOUS AFTER 50!
FYI -- My run on Saturday was another personal best, I came in under 40 minutes! My next organized run is on May 6 in Cincinnati, "The Flying Pig." I am doing the 1/2 marathon. I just want to beat my time from last year!
FYI -- I swear a surgeon was hitting on me yesterday. I haven't felt that way in 10 years!
Week 7: Inspiration and Opportunity
April is Donate Life Month. One of Lifeline of Ohio's busiest and most stressful months and I've been whining. On top of all of my usual responsibilities, the office is very busy with events and I always feel increased pressure in April.

They received substantial fines and a criminal record for their actions. The case follows a pro-active operation by Lipsy in response to information from members of the public and Trading Standards.
Lipsy's Brand Protection Department stated "the conviction of Jacqueline and Lionel Benhaim sends a strong message to those who sell fake Lipsy goods, and offenders will be brought to justice in criminal courts."

This review is from: NZXT Source 210 Elite White Steel with painted interior ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ Black Front Trim
Pros: This case looks great. I was hoping to find a case with a professional look, and this case nailed it. The stock fans are wonderful and don't need to be replaced. Numerous slots allow for plenty of expansion. The case came plenty of replacement screws in case any got stripped or lost.
Cons: Cable management was a bit tight. The side wall behind the motherboard tended to bow with cables underneath it. This was primarily due to me trying to avoid any visible cables and a nonmodular power supply. I certainly couldn't take an egg off for that.
Other Thoughts: This case is gorgeous. I got it for a computer I built for my father, and he loves it. It's quiet and cool. I pushed the cpu and dedicated graphics card, and the case help keep the sound low and the temperatures very tolerable. I highly recommend this case.READ FULL REVIEW

Less than half surveyed have undergone an eye pressure check. This proportion did not increase in the older age groups, even though the risk of glaucoma increases with age. This was in contrast to blood pressure, where more respondents discussed blood pressure with their physician in the older age groups.
"Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of glaucoma can prevent damage to the optic nerve and preserve healthy vision, which is why check-ups are so important," said Professor Roger Hitchings, Professor of Ophthalmology, University College London and Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, Moorfields Eye Hospital. "Everyone should proactively assess their risk of glaucoma with an eye specialist. A complete eye exam for glaucoma will include an eye pressure check, an optic nerve assessment and visual field examination."
All Eyes on Glaucoma Resources
One of the key components of the All Eyes on Glaucoma initiative is a new, informative website, http://www.AllEyesOnGlaucoma.com, where people can learn the proper steps to protect their vision, including the completion of an "Am I At Risk?" questionnaire and download tools including the "Conversation Starter" which can be taken to their eye specialist. Visitors will also be directed to local glaucoma organizations in their area for questions and support services.
About the International Survey
A multi-country survey of individuals aged 40 and above was conducted by the GfK Group. The survey included 4,352 people (2,020 males and 2,332 females) in seven countries including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

I've read the book at least five times. I've seen several movie versions and own the PBS miniseries version with Colin Firth.
This movie is breathtakingly beautiful.
It's hard to do such a complex story in two hours. Joe Wright pulled it off in a film that was nominated for four Oscars.
Many of us know the story. If you don't, it is the tale of a declining aristocratic family. Mr. Bennet (played by Donald Sutherland) has failed to produce a son which means that his estate will go to the next male heir, a very silly man Mr. Collins(Tom Hollander).
Mr. Bennet is an intelligent man who is impressed by very little and is amused by much. His character has had the fortune (or misfortune) to marry a pretty and silly and vivacious woman who has produced five daughters for him. He is sarcastic and rolls his eyes at most of them with the exception of his second daughter Lizzie (Kiera Knightley). He values her as the only one of his family with any sense at all.
The story revolves around getting some of those daughters married. This is the basic premise of the author Jane Austen and all of her novels. Daughters of no fortune should seek to marry men of fortune. This is the theme that runs through all of her novels. The daughters are not mercenary, in fact they are women of good character who through tribulation end up with men of good fortune.
We should all have such a fairy tale.
This version of Pride and Prejudice is very true to the text and is remarkably presented. I will have to say that I think the best performance is rendered by Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy. He is very pleasing to the eye and he performs this part better than any previous version I've seen. One can see his emotion as he learns to esteem Miss Lizzie Bennet. One can see his angst as the fiery woman holds him with contempt and then learns to appreciate him and then love him with an understated passion.
It would be hard to top Colin Firth in this role, but I think Mr. Macfadyen does an outstanding job. Acting is accomplished in a number of ways but the eyes of an actor can give strength to a performance that will endure. Mr. Macfedyen shows pride, aloofness, passion, disappointment, pain, hope and delight with his eyes. He does an wonderful job.
Kiera Knightley delivers a sultry Lizzie Bennet that the viewer cannot help but admire. As the lead character she responds and reacts to everyone else. This actress pulls off this challenging role with great dignity and beauty.
The supporting cast is superior. Each character is well portrayed and superbly acted. Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Bennet does a stellar job of the exceedingly silly and shallow mother of five daughters. Jena Malone (Stepmom, Donnie Darko) does an annoyingly faithful performance as the irritating and reprobate baby sister.
Simon Woods (Octavian on the series Rome) presents an under confident and beautifully sweet rendition of Mr. Bingley.
Dame Judi Dench is wonderful in her role of the annoying and stuck-up Lady Catherine de Bourg. The viewer just wants to smack her for being so pretentious.
The cinematography delights and astonishes the viewer. There are scenes of wonderful English countryside and long shots that can only come from the imagination of the director. There is a shot of Lizzie standing on the edge of a cliff that departs from reality of the text but is a beauty to see with the long vista of English hillsides in the background.
My favorite scene is of Mr. Darcy walking up toward Lizzie through the mist in the culmination of the story. The viewer's heart is pounding to see him walk with determination toward the woman that he loves.
This is a beautiful movie to watch. It is faithful to the text. The acting is truly wonderful.

Okay, I'm not going to pull any punches here: we LOVED this car. I was a mite worried at first that the B-Class was going to be a sort of dumbed-down version of a Mercedes; a cheaper, less luxurious and essentially stripped-down version of the archetypal luxury vehicle. Wrong! The 2010 B-Class Mercedes Benz was everything you would expect from a Mercedes, and it comes with a very palatable price tag, too.
This is such a cute little car! I love it! Adding it to my list.
So how do I become a Mercedes product tester? I am not even joking! My son is almost 16 and I told him he would get my car when he gets his licence and that I was buying a Mercedes. Would love to be able to test one out.

YIELD: Makes 1 sandwich
Turn the mushroom cap stem side up. To make room for the egg, use a spoon to gently scrape out the dark brown gills from the underside of the cap, and discard them. Pour the vinaigrette over the mushroom in a shallow bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. Turn the mushroom a time or two in the marinade.
Meanwhile, preheat a gas grill to medium heat or build a small fire in a charcoal grill; the coals will be ready when they have burned down to smoldering and are covered in white ash, and you can hold your hand 4 inches above the grill for no more than 4 seconds. Clean the grates and brush them with oil. Grill the onion rounds on both sides until they are deeply browned and starting to collapse. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Grill the mushroom cap gill side down until deeply browned, just a few minutes. (Watch it carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.) Turn it over, and carefully crack an egg into the mushroom cup. Sprinkle it lightly with salt, close the grill, and cook just until the white has set but the yolk is still runny, another few minutes. Transfer to the plate.
If desired, grill the bun or pita halves lightly on both sides. Spread the mustard on one of the bun halves, top with lettuce, grilled onion, egg-stuffed mushroom, and the other bun, and eat.

Expense Scandal Adds to U.K. Government's Challenges
LONDON -- The evaporation of trust in lawmakers as a result of the U.K.'s expenses scandal could make it more difficult to achieve the shared sacrifice required to repair the fast-deteriorating public finances.
With the U.K. government forecasting that its debt will soar to 80% of gross domestic product by 2014 as the country suffers its deepest recession in decades, fixing the public finances will be the dominant policy challenge for years to come.
The last 10 days has seen a string of revelations that lawmakers from all parties milked the parliamentary expenses system for their own personal gain. The allegations have led to lawmakers being suspended, a ministerial resignation and police investigations. Tuesday brought the most significant casualty to date. Michael Martin, speaker of the House of Commons, resigned, becoming the first holder of the office to be forced out in over three centuries. The speaker umpires debates and is responsible for the office that oversees expenses. (See related article.)
In the near-term, the scandal could destabilize an unpopular Labour government whose grip on power is weakening after 12 years in office.
In the longer-term, evidence of widespread wrongdoing among lawmakers will make it harder for future governments to persuade taxpayers to pay more. A future government may therefore have to lean more heavily on spending cuts than it would otherwise have done in order to trim its debt.
"I think taxpayers around the country have been absolutely shocked and horrified by the recent events," said Susie Squire, head of campaigning at the Taxpayer Alliance, a group dedicated to lower taxes and eliminating government waste. "That's very important because politicians will need some more authority to rein in public spending and help kill our budget deficits."
While popular outrage has focused for most of the last year on incompetent bankers who've received golden parachutes, anger has recently shifted to politicians following a string of revelations about expense claims that range from extravagant to possibly larcenous.
In most cases, the reports have shown lawmakers taking advantage of the system rather than breaking the rules, although some claims do seem to cross the line. There was a claim worth several thousand pounds for fixing the pipes beneath one lawmaker's tennis court, while some lawmakers "flipped" the house they listed as their second home in order to claim expenses on both their main and backup houses.
Last week, the scandal drew first blood. A Conservative lawmaker resigned as aide to party leader David Cameron over embarrassing reports about his claims. The parliamentary party of Prime Minister Gordon Brown has suspended two lawmakers over claims they filed expenses on mortgage interest payments for loans they had already repaid.
On Friday, Justice Minister Shahid Malik became the first cabinet minister to step down as he fought to clear his name over an investigation into his rental arrangements. A cabinet minister was heckled and jeered on a popular political show and a number of lawmakers have had to hire police protection for their homes.
There could hardly be a worse time for public confidence in politicians to hit rock-bottom.
Under last month's budget, the government forecast one of the tightest public spending squeezes since 1945, with expenditure increases of just 0.7% per year from 2011. Adjusted for inflation, spending will fall, something that didn't even happen under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s.
That means severely constrained spending on education, health and other key public services and minimum pay increases for heavily unionized public workers.
So far, credit-ratings agencies believe U.K. governments will have the political authority to bring spiraling public debt under control. Both Moody's and Standard & Poor's maintained the U.K.'s Triple-A credit rating after the budget despite projections of spiraling debt.
As S&P put it in its most recent "Full Analysis" report, because of its centralized political system and large parliamentary majorities, "the U.K. has a greater ability to respond quickly to external shocks than any of its peers."
That confidence may not be misplaced. Even under the fragile government of former Prime Minister John Major from 1992 to 1997, the public finances were mended after the previous recession in the early 1990s, although that improvement came at the start of a long period of extraordinary global growth.
Peter Kellner, president of polling firm YouGov, notes that in the 1990s the Conservative government saw several ministerial resignations and two former lawmakers end up in prison. "What is different this time is that the public has the impression that the whole of the political class has their snouts in the trough," he said. "I can't think of a time ... when the political classes were so widely despised."
The crisis could also have concrete near-term consequences. A YouGov poll last Friday showed falling support for both main parties, with Mr. Brown's Labour party slipping to a record low 22%.
June 4 sees European and local election and the polls suggest Labour could come in fourth, behind even the anti-European U.K. Independence Party. That's a result that could trigger fresh speculation about a leadership challenge to Mr. Brown from within the party.
On Monday, Conservative party leader Mr. Cameron piled the pressure on Mr. Brown, saying he should call an election straight after the June 4 vote.
While Mr. Brown is most unlikely to do that, he could still be vulnerable.
YouGov's Mr. Kellner said the scandal will make anxious Labour lawmakers readier to defy party whips on key votes, increasing the odds of a government defeat on a major bill. That would leave Mr. Brown staring over the political precipice.

White House allies produce preschool-for-all plan
Closer to the kitchen table, the proposals have an economic resonance. The average family with two parents working and with children younger than 5 spends roughly a one-tenth of the income on child care. For families making less, that percentage climbs quickly.
In the think tank's outline, states could partner with public school districts, charter schools, Head Start programs or child care agencies - a concession that could win over Republicans who want more options for parents.
The plan would double the number of families making $46,100 or less who receive child care subsidies, from 22 percent to 44 percent.
Currently, the average subsidy is about $5,600 annually - far short the actual cost of caring for these infants and toddlers. The proposal would have federal tax dollars cover 75 percent of the subsidy program and take the annual amount to about $7,200. States would be left to pick up the rest.
That part of the proposal would cost the federal government an estimated $84.2 billion over its first decade.
The proposal also would increase the number of students in Early Head Start programs from 120,000 to 240,000. That piece of the plan would cost $11.5 billion over its first 10 years.

FROZEN pilchards imported into Australia to feed caged tuna may have carried a virus which killed millions of pilchards. The claim was made this week in a report from a task force set up to examine the deaths (This Week, 20 May). From March to mid-June this year, adult pilchards died around the coastline in a huge arc stretching from Western Australia to southern Queensland.
Last year, 6000 tonnes of pilchards were imported from Chile, Japan, Ireland and California to feed to tuna being fattened in cages at Port Lincoln in South Australia. The first dead pilchards were in this area. A virus has been found in the tissue of pilchards imported from California, and in the gills of many of the dead pilchards.
But this week's report warns that it is too early to say that a virus was the killer. Scientists say that other factors, including stress caused ...

10-Year-Old Blind Boy Plays Robert Johnson-Style Acoustic Blues — Video
10-Year-Old Blind Boy Plays Robert Johnson-Style Acoustic Blues — Video
Related Content
The viral video below shows a 10-year-old blind boy, Felix St. Hilare of Quebec, Canada, performing a bit of Robert Johnson-style Delta blues on acoustic guitar, which he plays flat on his lap, much like the late Jeff Healey.
Felix, who speaks French, has the coolest pajamas and clearly knows his way around a blues turnaround. He even does a fine job singing in English, capturing the feel of an "ooooooh-ing" Johnson in a few choice spots.
Felix was born blind, a result of his premature birth. His mother, Marie-Eve Soucy, said her son was always fascinated by music and used to play with tam-tams in his high chair as a baby.

It was mid-October and she was due to leave in a week for New York, where she would reprise her acclaimed performance as Violet Weston, the pill-addicted, cancer-stricken monster of a mother at the heart of "August: Osage County." The play, by actor-playwright Tracy Letts, had been the hottest ticket of the summer at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, and now Dunagan and most of the large cast were getting ready to take the play to the Big Apple.
"I don't have anything positive to say about this," said a somber Dunagan, taking a break from sorting through clothes and cleaning out desk drawers. "It's a duty. We need to get this play seen. And we need to get this play seen so the word gets out about Chicago theater."
She was hardly alone in her views. Taken as a whole, the cast's response to the Broadway offer could be summed up as, "Do we have to?"
"The bulk of the cast is over 40, so picking up and moving isn't what it was in our 20s," said Amy Morton, who plays Barbara, Violet's oldest daughter and chief antagonist. "It's a much more complicated affair."
Beyond the disruptions and the time spent away from spouses, children and familiar surroundings, the actors were reflecting a common attitude among members of Chicago's diverse, innovative and hometown-proud theater community. Sure, this thinking goes, Broadway was once the summit of American theater, but these days, it's just another Times Square tourist trap, the domain of overblown musicals and vanity projects for Hollywood stars who want to show that they can memorize more than one line at a time.
You want real theater? You want exciting productions of new works, like "August," and bold reimaginings of classics? You want plays in every variety of setting, from gilded palaces to grungy storefronts? You want acting that comes from the heart and the gut as well as from the brain? Come to Chicago.
For that matter, what would make a group of hard-headed producers with a proven Broadway track record think they could turn a profit by transporting some 13 actors-none of them bankable, bold-faced names-to New York to present a dark play about a family with almost every known dysfunction? A play so long it has two intermissions?
"It's not a rational project," David Hawkanson, the executive director of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, says dryly.
And yet, despite all the travails of putting on a Broadway show, including a curveball stagehands strike that shut down the play for 19 days while it was in previews, "August: Osage County" has scored a triumphant bull's-eye on Broadway. It is a critical hit, with all the attendant predictions of Tony awards for the cast and a Pulitzer Prize for Letts. It is a financial success, standing up to competition from new plays by such brand-name playwrights as David Mamet, Tom Stoppard, Conor McPherson and Aaron Sorkin. And it is serving as a calling card to reintroduce American theater-goers to the 33-year-old Steppenwolf company, by now a venerable institution that, of all things, does not want to be thought of as a venerable institution.
"As lucky as we've been at Steppenwolf over the years, there's never been such a genuine expression of what Steppenwolf Theatre is in an original work by one of our company members," says cast member Jeff Perry, who founded the company with Gary Sinise and Terry Kinney in 1975, when they were barely out of college.
From its first productions at a Catholic school in Highland Park, Steppenwolf has been dedicated to the idea of ensemble acting, giving both big and small roles the same care and attention that other companies focus on one or two star characters. Over the years, the company has produced stars who have gone on to movie and TV careers, including Sinise, John Malkovich and Joan Allen, but that was a byproduct of the group's choice of gritty material, which showed off the young performers' emotionally charged acting.
"August: Osage County," set in Pawhuska, the county seat of Osage County, Okla., revolves around the mother-daughter battle between Violet and Barbara, but it fits comfortably into the Steppenwolf's ensemble tradition. Letts, who grew up in Oklahoma and has been an ensemble member since 2002, provides every character with at least one moment to shine, and there are many points when the seamless interplay between the actors, many of whom have worked together for decades, is crucial to achieving the simultaneous feats of making the audience laugh out loud and squirm in their seats.
And that's one of the most surprising aspects of this dark play: its humor. Besides tearing each other apart, Letts' characters get off plenty of sharp observations. Early on, Barbara corrects her husband, Bill, who has referred to Oklahoma as part of the Midwest. " Michigan is the Midwest, God knows why," she says. "This is the Plains: a state of mind, right, some spiritual affliction, like the Blues."
The play opened in July to rave reviews from the Tribune's Chris Jones and other Chicago critics. "Letts has penned a major, not-to-be-missed new American work that eulogizes the perversely nurturing dysfunction of family life on the Plains," Jones wrote. "This remarkable show . . . powerfully energizes and centers the acting ensemble."
New York's theater world was soon buzzing about the play, thanks to Letts' New York agent, Ron Gwiazda, who sent copies of the script to several producers. By the end of the play's run in August, the company had multiple offers to take "August" east.
Although watching a family claw itself to pieces for three hours is not normal Broadway fare, "August" had a couple of factors in its favor. Two of Letts' earlier plays, "Killer Joe" and "Bug," had been off-Broadway hits, and another, "The Man from Nebraska," had been a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Maybe he wasn't famous, but he was hardly an unknown quantity in the theater world.
Also, the 2007-2008 Broadway lineup was shaping up as an unusual season, not of endless musicals but of serious straight plays. New works were scheduled by Mamet, Stoppard and Irish playwright McPherson, and one of Harold Pinter's best-known plays, "The Homecoming," was being revived.

Thomas' shot ends Kings' skid, top Wizards 96-94
Okafor's jumper with 2:26 to play tied the game at 88, and Thomas made 1 of 2 free throws with 2:14 remaining to start a series of back-and-forth, one-point leads that finally ended when Tyreke Evans made a pair from the line to put Sacramento ahead 93-90 with 19.6 seconds remaining.
Wall's layup pulled the Wizards within one with 12.6 to go, and Evans made 1 of 2 free throws with 11.7 remaining to make the score 94-92.
Webster then tied the game, giving the Kings the chance to set up the winning shot for Thomas, one that deflated a Wizards team that has only recently become accustomed to winning at home.
Perhaps the most glaring statistic for Washington: 20 turnovers to go with 20 assists.
"I think we just got in a mind-state in a certain point of that game," Webster said, "where we just kind of felt like, 'Oh, we can outscore these guys.' ... We let them get the best of us, and we can't let them impede on our poise. And we did."
Notes: The Kings had been plagued by turnovers during their losing streak — averaging 21 over their previous three games — but they committed only 11 against the Wizards. ... Washington rookie G Bradley Beal, who has been bothered by a sore right wrist, played only three minutes in the fourth quarter and finished with six points on 2-for-6 shooting. Beal hurt the wrist against Denver on Jan. 18. X-rays have been negative. ... Kings C DeMarcus Cousins, who scored a season-low three points in a loss at Denver on Saturday, didn't play the fourth quarter Monday and finished with 12 points. ... Sacramento F John Salmons played the entire first quarter, then left with a stomach virus and did not return.

Mandi (food)
Homemade mandi from Hadhramaut, Yemen
|Alternative names
|Lunch or dinner
|Place of origin
|Region or state
|Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Jordan
|Main ingredients
|Rice, meat (lamb or chicken), and a mixture of spices
|Cookbook: Mandi Media: Mandi
Mandi (Arabic: المندي) is the traditional dish of Hadhramaut and many other Yemeni cities, such as Sana'a. It is now very popular in the rest of the Arabian Peninsula and in many other Arab countries, such as Egypt and Jordan. It is also popular in the Malabar region of Kerala state in India.The word mandi comes from the Arabic word nada, meaning dew, and reflects the moist 'dewy' texture of the meat.[1]
Mandi is usually made from rice, meat (lamb or chicken), and a mixture of spices. The meat used is usually a young and small sized lamb to enhance the taste further. The main thing which differentiates mandi is that the meat is cooked in the tandoor (taboon in Hadhrami), which is a special kind of oven. The tandoor is usually a hole dug in the ground and covered inside by clay. To cook mandi, dry wood is placed in the tandoor and burned to generate a lot of heat turning into charcoal. Then the meat is suspended inside the tandoor without touching the charcoal. After that, the whole tandoor is closed without letting any of the smoke out. Raisins, pine nuts, or peanuts can be added to the rice as per one's taste.
Mandi is considered the main dish served during special events, such as Eid, weddings, and feasts.

Collocation (or co-location) in telecommunications refers to the placement of multiple carrier's antennas on a single support structure, or in some contexts, the placement of antennas on any existing structure.
Native American people in the Southwestern United States.[1] Their traditional economy is based on agriculture and trade. When first encountered by the Spanish in the 16th century, they were living in villages that the Spanish called pueblos, meaning "towns". Of the 21 Pueblos that exist today, Taos, Acoma, Zuni, and Hopi are the best-known. The main Pueblos are located primarily in New Mexico and Arizona.
While there are numerous subdivisions of Pueblo People that have been published in the literature, Kirchhoff (1954)[2] published a subdivision of the Pueblo People into two subareas: the group that includes Hopi, Zuñi, Keres, Jemez which share exogamous matrilineal clans, have multiple kivas, believe in emergence of people from the underground, have four or six directions beginning in the north, and have four and seven as ritual numbers. This group stands in contrast to the Tanoan-speaking Pueblos (other than Jemez) who have nonexogamous patrilineal clans, two kivas or two groups of kivas and a general belief in dualism, emergence of people from underwater, five directions beginning in the west, and ritual numbers based on multiples of three.
Eggan (1950)[3] in contrast, posed a dichotomy between Eastern and Western Pueblos, based largely on subsistence differences with the Western or Desert Pueblos of Zuñi and Hopi dry-farmers and the Eastern or River Pueblos irrigation farmers.They mostly grew maize (corn).
Linguistic differences between the Pueblos point to their diverse origins. The Hopi language is Uto-Aztecan; Zuñi is a language isolate; Keresan is a dialect continuum that includes Acoma, Laguna, Santa Ana, Zia, Cochiti, Santo Domingo, San Felipe. The Tanoan is an areal grouping of three branches consisting of 6 languages: Towa (Jemez), Tewa (San Juan, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Tesuque, Nambe, Pojoaque, and Hano); and the 3 Tiwa languages Taos, Picuris, and Southern Tiwa (Sandia, Isleta).
The Pueblos are believed to be descended from the three major cultures that dominated the region before European contact:
- Mogollon, an area near the Gila Wilderness
- Hohokam, archaeological term for a settlement in the Southwest
- Ancient Pueblo Peoples (or the Anasazi, a term coined by the Navajos).[4]
Despite forced conversions to Catholicism (as evidenced by the establishment of a mission at each surviving pueblo) by the Spanish, the Pueblo tribes have been able to maintain much of their traditional lifestyle. There are now some 35,000 Pueblo Indians, living mostly in New Mexico and Arizona along the Rio Grande and Colorado River.
These peoples were the first to successfully revolt against the Spanish in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, which expelled the Spanish for 12 years. The code for the action was a knotted rope sent by a runner to each pueblo; the number of knots signified the number of days to wait before beginning the uprising. It began one day early, August 10, 1680; by August 21, Santa Fe fell to 2,500 warriors.[5] On September 22, 2005, the statue of Po'pay, (Popé) the leader of the Pueblo Revolt, was unveiled in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington D.C. The statue was the second one from the state of New Mexico and the 100th and last to be added to the Statuary Hall collection. It was created by Cliff Fragua, a Puebloan from Jemez Pueblo, and it is the only statue in the collection created by a Native American.
Josiah Gregg describes the Pueblo people in Commerce of the Prairies: or, The journal of a Santa Fé trader, 1831–1839 as follows:[6]
When these regions were first discovered it appears that the inhabitants lived in comfortable houses and cultivated the soil, as they have continued to do up to the present time. Indeed, they are now considered the best horticulturists in the country, furnishing most of the fruits and a large portion of the vegetable supplies that are to be found in the markets. They were until very lately the only people in New Mexico who cultivated the grape. They also maintain at the present time considerable herds of cattle, horses, etc. They are, in short, a remarkably sober and industrious race, conspicuous for morality and honesty, and very little given to quarrelling or dissipation...
Most of the Pueblos have annual ceremonies that are open to the public. One such ceremony is the Pueblo's feast day, held on the day sacred to its Roman Catholic patron saint. (These saints were assigned by the Spanish missionaries so that each Pueblo's feast day would coincide with a traditional ceremony.) Some Pueblos also have ceremonies around the Christmas and at other times of the year. The ceremonies usually feature traditional dances outdoors accompanied by singing and drumming, interspersed with non-public ceremonies in the kivas. They may also include a Roman Catholic Mass and processions.
Formerly, all outside visitors to a public dance would be offered a meal in a Pueblo home, but because of the large number of visitors, such meals are now by personal invitation only.
Pueblo prayer included substances as well as words; one common prayer material was ground-up maize—white cornmeal. Thus a man might bless his son, or some land, or the town by sprinkling a handful of meal as he uttered a blessing. Once, after the 1692 re-conquest, the Spanish were prevented from entering a town when they were met by a handful of men who uttered imprecations and cast a single pinch of a sacred substance.[7]
The Puebloans employed prayer sticks, which were colorfully decorated with beads, fur, and feathers; these prayer sticks (or talking sticks) were also used by other nations.
By the 13th century, Puebloans used turkey feather blankets for warmth.[8] Cloth and weaving were known to the Puebloans before the conquest, but it is not known whether they knew of weaving before or after the Aztecs. But since clothing was expensive, they did not always dress completely until after the conquest, and breechcloths were not uncommon.
Corn was a staple food for the Pueblo people. They were what was called "dry farmers". Because there was not a lot of water in New Mexico, they farmed using as little water as possible, which restricted what they could grow. Because of this, they mainly would farm many types of corn, beans and squash. They would use pottery to hold their food and water. (See also: Agriculture in the prehistoric Southwest)
The most highly developed Native communities of the Southwest were large villages or pueblos at the top of the mesas, rocky tablelands typical to the region. The archetypal deities appear as visionary beings who bring blessings and receive love. A vast collection of myths defines the relationships between man, nature, plants and animals. Man depended on the blessings of children, who in turn depended on prayers and the goddess of Himura. Children led the religious ceremonies to create a more pure and holy ritual.

Some 400 members of Isleta, Socorro and neighboring Pueblos were forced or accompanied the Spaniards to El Paso as they fled Northern New Mexico.[11] Three missions (Ysleta, Socorro, and San Elizario) were established on the Camino Real to Santa Fe. The San Elizario mission was administrative (that is, non Puebloan).
- Some of the Piru Puebloans settled in Senecu, and then in Socorro, Texas, adjacent to Ysleta, Texas (which is now within El Paso city limits). When the Rio Grande would flood the valley or change course, these missions would lie variously on the north or south sides of the river. Although Socorro and San Elizario are still separate communities, Ysleta has been annexed into El Paso.

There is a short history of creating pottery among the various Pueblo communities. Mera, in his discussion of the "Rain Bird" motif, a common and popular design element in pueblo pottery states that, "In tracing the ancestry of the "Rain Bird" design it will be necessary to go back to the very beginnings of decorated pottery in the Southwest to a ceramic type which as reckoned by present day archaeologists came into existence some time during the early centuries of the Christian era."

Anyone have a route suggestion near Placerville, CA? (self.trailrunning)
submitted 1 year ago by dolivas
The family and I are heading up to Cameron Park/Placerville, CA this weekend to spend the holiday with some friends. Of course I suggested the trip with the opportunity to explore some new trails in mind. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Ideally around the 9-12mi range?

Well, you can probably find some of the Western States route! I'd just go to Strava.com and Explore their segments

Good call, didn't think of that! Thanks for the input. Although the air quality from the Yosemite fire may put a damper on any running plans.

Made of ballistic nylon covered foam pads, the Extrema Roof Rack Pads protect your canoe or kayak and roof rack from damage. The Extrema Roof Rack Pads are made to fit over-sized roof rack bars such as the ones found on the Nissan Xterra or the Hummer.
|Item #:
|2 ft 6 in / 0.76 m
|Part Number
|Black - 30 in - Extrema
Bought two sets of 30" Exterma Roof Rack Pads for my Congo rack. They attached easily and mounted perfectly to my cross bars. Carried both Kayaks on my Jeep Wrangler and the pads did the trick. I believe they are worth the money to protect the toys.
I was not impressed, the ad said the covers were bullet proof - they are not that tough/cheaply made, cover is lose, extra padding and zip ties are required for a secure fit; however the price is relatively cheap and they do fit over size bars. They come in different sizes, they should let know up front, I would have preferred the 36" length
For the price, they are great. Have not had them long so I can't comment on durability or longevity. The elastic cord ties were slightly smaller than I expected and the Velcro was longer than needed but other than that they fit my 2010 Xterra fine. I would buy them again and recommend them to a friend.
I bought these rack pads for my 2007 Nissan Xterra, and was looking for a rack pad that would span the entire rack bar for a Stand Up Paddle board. After weeks of searching for a rack pad that was longer than the traditional 18" and 24" pads you use for standard surfboards I came across this one at 30", which is a perfect length for the factory mounted Xterra rack bars. Although I would say it is satisfactory, and will get the job done, I feel that the quality is a bit lacking, which only partially disappoints me since the price is decent at under $40 for two pads; but I wish they had invested more into a higher quality product even if it cost a few extra bucks. The velcro doesn't seem to be sewn on very well, and surprisingly the inside fabric seam is only partially sewn exposing the foam. The drawstring ties could be a bit longer to tie down the ends better (especially for the Xterras rack). Overall, I think they will work, but tend to doubt the longevity of the product. Since my vehicle's factory rack is nearly impossible to find a rack pad that will fit it, I am happy I at least found these to haul my SUP.

Toyota Paseo Problem Report
Toyota Paseo Check Engine Light Due to Restricted EGR System
(6 reports)
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.

Although uncommon, lung transplants are sometimes used in
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During a
lung transplant, you are given a lung from a donor who has recently died. A
single-lung transplant (receiving one lung) is done more often than a
double-lung transplant (receiving two lungs). Improvement in the ability to
exercise is nearly as good in people who have a single-lung transplant as it is
in those who have a double-lung transplant.
Lung transplant
surgery has been found to help people with COPD for at least 3 to 4 years after
surgery. A transplant can improve breathing and quality of life. But the

If you become a candidate for a transplant, you are
placed on a waiting list. Depending on where the transplant center is located,
the wait for a lung transplant can be from 1 year to over 2 years.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
When neuraxial anesthesia (epidural/spinal anesthesia) or spinal puncture is employed, patients anticoagulated or scheduled to be anticoagulated with low molecular weight heparins or heparinoids for prevention of thromboembolic complications are at risk of developing an epidural or spinal hematoma which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis.
The risk of these events is increased by the use of indwelling epidural catheters for administration of analgesia or by the concomitant use of drugs affecting hemostasis such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), platelet inhibitors, or other anticoagulants. The risk also appears to be increased by traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal puncture.
Patients should be frequently monitored for signs and symptoms of neurological impairment. If neurological compromise is noted, urgent treatment is necessary.
The physician should consider the potential benefit versus risk before neuraxial intervention in patients anticoagulated or to be anticoagulated for thromboprophylaxis (see also WARNINGS, Hemorrhage, and PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).
INNOHEP® is a sterile solution, containing tinzaparin sodium, a low molecular weight heparin.
INNOHEP® is indicated for the treatment of acute symptomatic deep vein thrombosis with or without pulmonary embolism when administered in conjunction with warfarin sodium. The safety and effectiveness of INNOHEP® were established in hospitalized patients.

'Increased risk of venous thromboembolism among NSAID users' Source: Body Aches News From Medical News Today [2014.09.25]Venous thromboembolism - the condition that includes both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism - has been linked to NSAID use in a new systematic review and meta-analysis.
Safety profile of tinzaparin versus subcutaneous unfractionated heparin in elderly patients with impaired renal function treated for acute deep vein thrombosis: the Innohep(R) in Renal Insufficiency Study (IRIS). [2011.07]INTRODUCTION: Trials comparing the use of full dose unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) in very elderly patients with impaired renal function are lacking. IRIS aimed to assess whether LMWH is at least as safe as UFH in this population... CONCLUSION: The IRIS study was a challenging study involving patients (mean age 83 years) usually excluded from clinical studies, but its early termination has left questions unanswered. The mortality difference observed with tinzaparin vs. UFH in elderly, renally-impaired patients with DVT cannot be explained on the basis of bleedings or recurrent VTE, and may reflect an imbalance of mortality risk factors at baseline.

Relationship between baseline blood pressure parameters (including mean pressure, pulse pressure, and variability) and early outcome after stroke: data from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial (TAIST). [2011.02]BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: High blood pressure (BP) in acute stroke is associated independently with a poor outcome. Recent evidence suggests that other hemodynamic parameters may also be associated with outcomes following stroke... CONCLUSIONS: Early death or neurologic deterioration, deterioration, and recurrent stroke are associated independently with high systolic BP, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, and BP variability. These measures offer potential therapeutic targets for improving early outcome after acute ischemic stroke.
Lipoprotein lipase responds similarly to tinzaparin as to conventional heparin during hemodialysis. [2010.12.06]BACKGROUND: Low molecular weight (LMW) heparins are used for anticoagulation during hemodialysis (HD). Studies in animals have shown that LMW-heparins release lipoprotein lipase (LPL) as efficiently as unfractionated (UF) heparin, but are less able to retard hepatic uptake of the lipase. This raises a concern that the LPL system may become exhausted by LMW-heparin in patients on HD. We have explored this in the setting of clinical HD... CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrate that repeated HD with UF-heparin or tinzaparin does not exhaust the LPL-system.
Asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation of infarction and its relationship with functional outcome and stroke subtype: assessment from the Tinzaparin in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Trial. [2010.12]BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation of infarction (AHTI) is common, but its risk factors and relationship with functional outcome are poorly defined... CONCLUSIONS: AHTI is increased in ischemic stroke with cortical syndromes and of large vessel or cardioembolic etiology. Heparin does not increase AHTI. AHTI is not associated with functional outcome.

Effects of Tinzaparin on Cardio-Vascular Outcomes and on Blood Lipids in Diabetic Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis [Not yet recruiting]
Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) provides a safe and effective alternative to UFH for
hemodialysis anticoagulation. While unfractionated (UF) heparin has been implicated in
hyper-lipidemia, the effect of LMWHs on the lipid profile in non-diabetic patients on
chronic hemodialysis remains controversial. The effect of LMWH in diabetic patients, a high
risk group for developing hyper-lipidemia and cardio-vascular disease, has not been studied.
The study intends to examine the long-term effects of the replacement of UFH by LMWH
(tinzaparin sodium) on cardio-vascular outcomes and on lipoprotein profiles in a large group
of diabetic patients stable on HD.
