Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article
Theatre Gigante taps dark, creative energy in 'Electra'
While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic
The community in SWTOR is horrible. It is the exact same as WoW. I was in a flashpoint I had never been in last night. The boss has an add that targets on person but it moves very slowly. It targeted me so I backed up but didn't realize there was a zone line so it reset the boss. It targeted me the second time and I did the same thing, then I caught on. Just then the whole group was saying how terrible I am and I'm an idiot. At most I wasted 30 seconds of life from these little girls. I said calm down and stop crying over nothing. I hadn't been in here for and I didn't know. They said then I shouldn't be in there.
It was a very easy flash point but people are insecure and have to put down other people over a game. So I was told to go back to WoW where it is safe for me.... as if SWTOR is a hard game.
I've soled it all thus far. It's just pathetic how people have become in games. They get even worse when you laugh at them for being little girls and you don't care about their insults.
So yeah, the community is pathetic in SWTOR already. Next we will have number crunching twits who only let you in their group if you have a certain gear score. In fact one guy in my guild says fun= top dps and high gear score. It is that childish mentality that makes me want to not play these games.

Europa 2014
Because 2014 is my 60th year.
Because 2014 is European Elections year.
Because I like to see Europa in peace.
And because it's a great challenge I've in mind since a long time.
75.000 km and some, 42 different countries, every capitals of them, 220 days on the road, so about 350 km each day (except maintenance days).
Alone, and with the tent as usual.
Departure from atlantic coast in France, Paris, Belgium with Brussels, British Isles (England, Scotland, the two Irland, back thru Galles and Cornwall), France, Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, down to the south of Germany, then to the north toward Baltic Sea thru Berlin, Denmark, Suede, Norway until North Cape. Back south thru Finland, small detour to Russia until St. Petersburg, the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), the russian enclave of Kaliningrad, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Vienna, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, the Danube Delta, Serbia, Kosovo, Former Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria, European Turkey (Istanbul), Bulgaria again, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Liechtenstein, Venice, Italy, Republic of San Marino, Rome, Vatican, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Italy again, Switzerland, France (South thru the Alps), Monaco, Andorra, Spain to Gibraltar, Portugal .... and France, back to Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, departure city.
Departure on the 1st of April, return at the beginning of November.
And that's the bike, my small Yamaha YBR 250.
Because it's not heavy (154 kgs with 19 liters in tank),
because it doesn't drink so much (3,25 liter pro 100 km),
because it's less expensive than a lot of other ones....
It's not my first trip, but it will be the most expensive one, because of the big number of kilometers. The problem is specially due to the maintenance, every 10.000 km. And I'm not able to do anything.
Then, I greatly hope that you will be some of my helpers along the trip.
I plan that the different maintenance areas will be :
04/29 Calais France
05/26 Stockholm Suede
06/24 Tallinn Estonia
07/21 Satu Mare Romania
08/23 Patras Greece
09/24 Messine Sicily Italy
10/18 Madrid Spain
Then, perhaps there will be some bikers, from a motorcycle club or not, that will be able to help me to make these things I can't do, and then allow me to continue the trip.
The routes are described here.
If you want to have a look upon my previous trips, you can follow here.
Everything will be told upon my website www.allersretours.com, as I usual do it.
Happy 60th birthday :clap (subscribed)
That looks like a great way to celebrate it, and I like your bike - the only thing it is missing is a center stand. You might consider having a Scott Oiler or similar fitted.
Probably your dates are not fixed yet, but just for information, 23/06 is our Victory Day and 24/06 Midsummer Day, both are national holidays.
It will be difficult to find open workshop then :wink:
Otherwise great time, in the evening of 23/06 there will be Midsummer parties all over Estonia in open air with fire and music.
Regarding your route through Estonia, just don't use those big main roads but follow northern coastline (limestone clint) and smaller roads (gravel) where possible.
Many thanks for these important precisions. OK then, I'll integrate that !
What do you suggest me about the route in Estonia ?
Do you have some GPX files ?
Don't forget that my bike is not a trail, just a small normal road bike ;-)
Not to mention that it's easier to pick up. :evil
If you should require something while in Finland, please contact me. I will be in Helsinki until about 22 June, after which I will be wandering continental Europe on my motorcycle until August. But if I am around town I will do my best to be of help, and I have a home motorcycle workshop with good tools and such that I can offer you. (I also know where the local Yamaha shop is, if needed)
Thak you very much for your offer, I notice it, it's very kind from you.
I think I'll contact you around the 15th of June. I could be in Helsinki at 18th of June, and it would be a good idea to change oil there, and perhaps also tyres.
Then, with great pleasure !
Wow. Sounds like a epic ride. But you need to fix Your route in Norway. You are missing most of the good stuff
I was already many times in Norway ;-)
Once with this one :
for that ride in 2006 :
Once with this one :
for that ride in 2008.
And one with.... a Renault Kangoo....
for that ride in 2012.
Then, of course, I will not miss Norway, which is one of the nicest countries in the world, even if I visited it already a lot.
Here the route I prepared for that Europa 2014 trip :
Here the all route details.
What a great journey you have ahead. Congrats!
Looks like you'll be riding right past my home turf too - I can always fix you a bit curvier route, or even some WRC gravel if thats your thing. And like FinlandThumper I'm ready to lend a hand if something unexpected happens :wave
Finnish hospitality - 1. Drink a shitload of booze with your guest, not mixed 2. Rip off your clothes 3. Step into a 100 °C room 4. Run into the lake 5. Repeat until 5 am.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 3/20/13
Marlon Byrd is a very lucky man. Less than a year ago he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and was slapped with a 50-game suspension. To his credit, and unlike most users who get caught, Byrd manned up, admitted his guilt and issued a remorseful statement. "I made an inexcusable mistake. Several years ago, I had surgery for a condition that was private and unrelated to baseball. Last winter, I suffered a recurrence of that condition and I was provided with a medication that resulted in my positive test." "I am mortified by my carelessness and I apologize to everyone who loves this game as I do. I will serve my suspension, continue to work hard and hope that I am given an opportunity to help a club win later this season." When the Mets signed Byrd, now 35, it didn't bother me too much. I did a little research and I saw someone who made a mistake and took his punishment like a man. I can respect that. It's amazing how the world has turned for Byrd since joining the Mets....

Natural Factors, WomenSense, EstroSense, Hormonal Balance, 60 Veggie Caps
By Natural Factors27 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Dec 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.23 lbs (0.1 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I was diagnosed with 4 walnut-sized uterine fibroids that were starting to put pressure on my bladder. My OBGYN told me that my only two options were (1) surgery, or (2) learn to live with the symptoms. I am not fond of either one of those options. She also told me that I have excess estrogen which is causing the fibroids. Well after much research and product comparison I purchased Natural Factors EstroSense, as well as Vitex capsules (to regulate hormone levels). I can honestly say that by taking the EstroSense and Vitex each day, my symptoms have almost disappeared. No more bladder pressure or abdominal fullness. At my last OBGYN appointment she said the fibroids had gone down in size and she recommended that I NOT pursue surgery now, but instead continue doing what I'm doing with the herbs. EstroSense is a great, quality product for balancing excess estrogen and shrinking uterine fibroids (the reduction of estrogen actually does this). I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone with fibroids. Give it at least a month for good, noticeable results. 5 stars.
I had expeireinced very heavy bleeding during my menstrual most of my life, hemmoraging really. I started taking these 3 month's ago & have seen a reduction & more regularity in cycle. Of course I have to give Glory to the Lord because His healing power is at work in me too. But just for the ingredient's & what they do to help prevent cancer I would take them! Thank you iherb for your fast delivery! I buy almost all my supplement's from you!

There are billions of dollars of financial aid available to students who need help paying for college. If you want this assistance, it's important that you determine your eligibility and apply on time.
How many college students get financial aid?
About three-quarters of full-time undergraduate college students receive some type of financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, loans or work-study. Approximately 45 percent of financial aid dollars awarded to undergraduates are in the form of loans, and the rest are grants, scholarships, and tax credits and deductions.
Can I afford to go to college?
Despite all the news stories about rising college prices, a college education is more affordable than most people believe. There are many colleges that provide an excellent educational experience at a price you can manage. Public college prices are much lower than you might expect.
Does applying for financial aid hurt my chances of being admitted?
Not usually. You are generally admitted based on your academic performance and the qualities you bring to the campus community. Colleges want to admit a diverse group of students and often use financial aid to achieve that goal. It is very important to apply for financial aid early in the application process, before all of a college's funds are allocated.
Do I qualify for aid even if I don't get straight A's?
It's true that many scholarships reward student performance in high school, but most government aid is based on financial need. Remember, if you do receive need-based aid, you must remain in good academic standing to renew your aid annually.
Are private colleges out of my reach?
Although the cost of college is certainly an important factor, you should not concentrate on it until later in your college-selection process. Instead, focus on finding a college that is a good fit - one that meets your academic, career and personal needs.

I've been playing Sonic the Hedgehog since my Genesis controller is now mysteriously working, though sometimes down on the D-Pad makes Sonic go right instead which makes me leery of using the spin dash. Last night I got all the Chaos Emeralds and made it halfway through the third act of final zone before I lost my last life. Kinda wish this game had a save feature.

Tomodachi Life. Skrillex and Ellie's Mii forms had a baby girl this morning! Her name is Scarlet, but her full name is (they can't really do the middle name, but I'll do it anyways...) Scarlet Rose Moore. She's much like her father, Skrillex, but has Ellie's personality (Easygoing). Scarlet's a very sweet child, but her cries wake her parents up in the morning...
I'm going in a pattern. It goes like this: Girl, boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl, etc.
Sometimes it can go backwards if I wanted it to. Also, when they are fully grown, I go in this pattern too: Travel, apartment, travel, apartment, travel, apartment...etc.
Same thing happened with Hazel and Kilometer. They had a baby boy named Wolf, earlier before Scarlet. I find it weird that Hazel and Ellie both had their babies in the same part of the day, but at different times!

I'm bouncing back and forth between Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Tomodachi Life and Kirby: Triple Deluxe every day.
I'll probably finish Kirby this week, which will then give me more time to put towards Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. I only have two more sages to acquire until I complete the storyline so I should be wrapping up that game soon, too.

I was playing Just Dance 4 last night with my friend using the Wii U in Wii Mode. We did Non-Stop Shuffle and we were almost sweating our butts off! After 5 or 6 songs, we were dying of thirst, so we had to chug our drinks down in order to replenish our energy in order to move on to the next song. Sadly, we didn't get to see if we can get to "Rock N' Roll [Will Take You To The Mountain]", but since it was on Non-Stop Shuffle, it would come up at random...but we didn't get it...at random.

First, responses to some of you to what you're currently playing.
Box - Oh my gosh, is that Spore? I love that game and need to get back to it soon. I have the base game and both expansions (Creepy & Cute Parts and Galactic Adventures).
It's Teri - Got a PS3 or PSVita? Look into Puyo Puyo Tetris. It's essentially both games in one, and even though I've only played the demo I really enjoyed it.
SonicBlades - Make sure you're giving Wizardmon the necessary boosts and whatnot if you're going to solo the game with him. DNA Digivolving can really help with raising the stat limits and whatnot. When my copy of Digimon World Dawn worked, I had several different Digimon, BishopChessmon usually being the head honcho so to speak.
My list of usually played games is shorter than it normally is right now, but that should change soon.
-Ultra Street Fighter 4 (PS3)
-Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 (PS3)
-Kinectimals Unleashed (Windows 8)
I will be playing Super Smash Bros Melee in local tournaments and whatnot leading up to the release of the new game for the 3DS and Wii U. Red Mr Game & Watch for the win.

Yeah, I know about Puyo Puyo Tetris I'd actually like to give it a go one day!

I've beaten Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Zelda: A Link Between Worlds within the last two weeks. I decided it was time to start a brand new game from my collection and went with Rune Factory 4. I'm really liking it so far! It has a nice old school RPG feel to it while providing a slightly more modernized style.
As always, I'm playing Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Life as well.

I've never actually played Puyo Puyo, but I have played the clones Kirby's Avalanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine if that counts.
I'm thinking of trying to finish Pokémon X and breeding a competitive team before Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire get released.

I admit that when I received the congratulatory notice, it had me fooled. I thought the well-worded email was the lead into a scam informing the recipient they've won an award but would have some sort of out-of-pocket expense to be paid in advance with a product I'd never see. As I read on, I found it was in fact authentic. My screenplay was a "Silver Ace Award" winner at the Las Vegas Film Festival being held July 18-21.
For a few days, the rabbits grazed peacefully inside their cages on the outskirts of our campsite, providing a tranquil harmony with nature as we enjoyed solace where the mountains touched the sky.

While it's difficult to find a silver lining with any tragedy, I became aware of a blessing amid the sadness a few weeks ago when I was reunited with cherished individuals who played a significant part in my past law enforcement career during the funeral service of a former patrol partner of mine.
If you don't know by now that I am deeply involved in Relay For Life, you just haven't read my column, in about, 10 years.
My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary.
So there's no way to deny it, I am definitely a sports fan(atic).
I could watch Brad Pitt solve a crossword puzzle for three hours.
May always makes me think of Mother's Day and flowers. And this year we added a graduation, planning for a wedding in June, and everything else in between.
As I write this, a named suspect wanted for attempted murder is on-the-lam in a city that doesn't have any detectives to investigate its cases.
Many of our readers may recall the little yellow VW bug that became former Riverbank News editor John Branch's 'signature' vehicle. We laughed (mostly with him) at the trademark jet engine sound when he fired the bug up, shared our concern when one of the wheels literally fell off as he was turning the corner to come to the Oakdale office – luckily he was close enough to park with three wheels intact – and celebrated with him when the bug went to storage and a newer, more reliable vehicle emerged.
As I write this, a named suspect wanted for attempted murder is on-the-lam, in a city that doesn't have any detectives to investigate its cases.
Who knew there would be an adjustment period to living the dream? I certainly didn't. Many of you know I published my first book in December 2006 and it's been a dream of mine for longer than I can remember to support myself solely on my fiction writing income. After many years of incredibly hard work, I managed to make that dream a reality and I left my post at The Leader to live the dream.
As I write this column, I am planning to be off work for an ROTC assignment.
Monday, April 15 did not start for me as it did my friend and running teammate Cathy McClelland or Oakdaleans Vanessa Walton and Tom Burchell, or Jesse Santana of Riverbank. I did not board a motor coach in my sneakers with a race bib pinned to the front of my shirt in anticipation of running the 117th Boston Marathon.

Clarence Blackmon's cupboards are overflowing now with so much food that he felt compelled — and blessed — to be able to share it with others through his local food bank.
If there were ever a suitable microcosm for life, for me, it would have to be the 24 hours of Relay For Life.
My wife, Lindsay and I are approaching our two year anniversary on June 29. Over the last two years we have made life plans such as travel, career aspirations, eventually purchasing a new house where we can raise a family; which leads me to my topic: starting a family.
Just in case you haven't been paying attention, there have been some changes being implemented in our papers over the past month.
Around the newsroom this week, upcoming graduations were a popular topic as some of the reporters prepared to cover the high school commencements. At our last staff meeting I was taken back when I heard of one local high school's selection of four valedictorians and two salutatorians for its graduating class.
An adventure stretching over eight years … covering literally thousands of miles … hastily eaten hotel breakfasts (sometimes hot and sometimes not) – and memories to last a lifetime.

(adjective) Describes birds that are principally active at night with hunting, feeding and other behaviors, and that roost and sleep during the day. These birds typically have superior vision to allow for low level sight, or their other senses are heightened to compensate for less useful vision.
While owls, nightjars, frogmouths and similar species are principally nocturnal, other birds do exhibit some nocturnal behavior. Many songbird species will migrate at night in the spring and fall, and both the northern mockingbird and the American robin have been recorded singing extensively at night. Despite these limited behaviors, however, birds are typically only considered nocturnal if the majority of their daily life activities occur at night.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 12/14/12
10 a.m. ET: When the Celtics last took the floor against a Texas opponent, they played 10 minutes of free basketball. After a day off from practice to recover from that tough win over the Mavericks, the Celtics hope for a much shorter, much easier victory over the Rockets. Houston is led by James Harden, who came over from Oklahoma City in a late preseason trade and has become unquestionably the Rockets' best player. Along with point guard Jeremy Lin and small forward Chandler Parsons, Harden has helped make the up-tempo Rockets a headache to play against. Omer Asik, another offseason acquisition, has tried to wipe out most of the defensive mistakes of his star backcourt, but so far the results have been mixed. Asik's top task against the Celtics will be to slow Kevin Garnett. Join us for updates and analysis during the game, which tips off at 8 p.m. ET.

By Michelle Edelbaum [2], March 30, 2012 - 9:44am
I love spring food but I love spring weather even more, which means I want to eat a fresh, healthy meal fast so I can get out for a walk after dinner before the sun sets.
More Recipes to Try: 20-Minute 5-Ingredient Dinner Recipes [8]
5-Ingredient Chicken Dinners [9]
6 Secrets to Speedy Soups [10]
To streamline my dinnertime routine, I combed EatingWell's recipe database to find these healthy 5-ingredient dinners using fresh, spring ingredients to help me eat well but cook simply. (I didn't count kitchen staples like salt, pepper and oil as part of my 5-ingredient limit.) And they're all ready in 40 minutes or less of cooking time—plenty of time to steam a vegetable on the side and make instant brown rice or quinoa and then get back outside after dinner.

The other bonus of these 5-ingredient dinner recipes? They'll minimize my grocery shopping too!
Don't Miss: 5 Grocery-Shopping Habits That Make You Spend Too Much Money [12]
Spring Pizza [13]
Asparagus, chives and fontina cheese top this easy pizza recipe. Serve with baby greens tossed with vinaigrette and pecans.
Plank-Grilled Salmon with Creamy Tarragon Sauce [14]
Grilling salmon on a cedar plank imparts a deliciously smoky flavor to the fish. The tarragon cream sauce uses low-in-saturated-fat Greek-style yogurt. Look for cedar planks with other grilling supplies in supermarkets or hardware stores.
Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus & Lemon [15]
Tilapia, a relatively plentiful fish, has the unfortunate reputation of being dull. All it needs is a spice rub, a familiar barbecuing technique that works just as well indoors. You could also use this rub on chicken breasts or toss it with lightly oiled shrimp before cooking.
Sweet & Savory Grilled Chicken [16]
This sweet and savory rub for grilled chicken relies on ingredients you most likely have on hand already—brown sugar, dry mustard and onion powder—making it a quick recipe for a night when you're not sure what you're making for dinner.
Flank Steak Pinwheels [17]
These festive wheels of steak, Boursin cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes look fancy, but they're quite easy to make. For a party, arrange them on a platter atop a bed of spinach.
Oven-Barbecued Pork Chops [18]
If you're not ready to fire up your grill just yet, or spring showers are keeping you indoors, try this swift recipe and enjoy a "barbecue" indoors. Serve with Savoy Cabbage Slaw and cornbread.

Hall of FramesRead MoreIn 1975, Jay Kogan's parents opened up a store that was literally a hall of frames—just a small store stacked with thousands of frames. At the time, they had no idea that that tiny corridor would expand to 12 locations throughout the greater Phoenix area, all still run by the Kogan family. Today, their shops have more than 4,500 custom frame options along with mats of all colors and textures, as well as seven glazing choices and expert assembly. They can answer framing questions and frame everything from documents and artwork to posters and small 3-D objects such as sports memorabilia and very still grandmothers. When they custom-produce frames, the family cuts their mats exactly, miters frame corners precisely, and installs flawless glass. Or, since the stores' walls are lined with ready-made frames, customers can walk in and find what they're looking for quickly. Since installing framed art is an art unto itself, they also offer hanging services with an eye for placement and ability to install in difficult spaces.3755 S Gilbert Rd Ste 104Gilbert, AZ US

Founded by Paul E. Dauwalder, the shop quickly expanded from its original 1,800-square-foot space, branching out to five shops that now operate beneath the expert eye of Paul's granddaughter. Cleaning products, outdoor equipment, and pool supplies are just a fragment of the stores' inventory, with power tools awaiting steady hands, fishing gear beckoning lake dwellers, and building materials—including the Tempe location's 56,000 square feet of lumber—standing poised and ready to be assembled into dams by handy beavers. Still in the city of its founding, the Scottsdale location has moved and upgraded to its own building.1927 E Baseline Rd.Gilbert, AZ US

Doc Rivers on Clippers potentially being emotionally weary from Sterling situation: 'I just don't want to hear it'
May 11, 2014, 3:30 PM EDT
LOS ANGELES — The storm created by the Donald Sterling situation in the first round of the playoffs has largely subsided for now, but for the Clippers, there may be some lingering effects.
There's no good reason that the first round series against the Warriors needed seven games to be decided, and without the monumental distraction, it's more than possible that L.A. would have been able to take hold much more expeditiously.
Against the Thunder in round two, the Clippers got off to a strong start, and looked like the team may have put it all behind them, at least long enough to focus on the task at hand. But after two straight losses — one a drubbing, the other more demoralizing considering the closeness of the contest — it's worth wondering if, as the pressure increases, the team will be able to dig deep enough to overcome any additional adversity.
Doc Rivers was in no-excuse mode before Sunday's Game 4 at Staples Center, and won't hear of his team using the Sterling situation as a reason for any of its on-court troubles.
"I've heard that talk a lot over the last two days," Rivers said. "I just don't want to hear it, I'll put it that way. Listen, the playoffs are emotional. Obviously we've been through some other stuff. We can't run from that. But you've just got to get through it. I don't believe in that."
The emotional toll was very real for the players initially, and though it's waned recently, it was still a lot to deal with in addition to all of the pressure that traditionally comes with a trip to the postseason.
Game 4 is crucial for L.A.'s chances, as a loss would send them back to Oklahoma City needing to win three straight against the Thunder — two of which would be on the road — in order to advance.
We'll see where the Clippers are at from a mental toughness standpoint soon enough in terms of the way the series ultimately shakes out. But if the Thunder should advance, the strain of dealing with the Sterling distraction will certainly be among the contributing factors — even if Rivers prefers to downplay it at this time.
"We have to be mentally tough," he said. "I think we'll be fine. But, you know, there could be a factor there. I don't think it is."

It isn't an excuse AT ALL. Good grief!!!

I can deny that it's taken a toll. I don't think Sterling has anything to do with the Clips losses to OKC.
- thekingdave - May 11, 2014 at 5:17 PM
There's only one thing to do. Give Doc a retroactive civil rights award for how vocal he was while playing for Sterling and the Clippers in the early 1990s, as well as refusing to accept a salary in protest. Oh wait.
- SBoy - May 11, 2014 at 5:49 PM
It may be fair to wonder… but Doc has it right… not an excuse. In general, emotional events tend to be viewed as being the spark that brought people together when a team does well after the fact, or as the distraction that brought them down if they don't. Maybe it does has some effect, positive or negative, but that is part of being pro… managing or coping with it and getting the job done…
Players probably have all kinds of sh**t going on from time to time that we the fans don't know about because it is private. Play well or bad, these players usually don't point to these things as the reason. In this case, the sh**t happens to be public and we know about it.

#7: Poile rolls the dice at the trade deadline David Poile is as conservative as they come. He doesn't make a lot of knee-jerk moves and is known for standing pat in order to do what he feels is right all while the fan base cries out for him to do something. But at the 2012 NHL Trade Deadline, that all changed. Two weeks before the big day, Poile had already acquired veteran defenseman and penalty kill specialist Hal Gill from the Montreal Canadiens. Then, on Deadline Day itself, he went back to the well and plucked Andrei Kostitsyn from Montreal and then got center and face-off specialist Paul Gaustad from the Buffalo Sabres just minutes before the clock struck midnight (okay, 2:00pm Central). And he did it all without impacting his NHL roster. Oh yeah, and they reportedly made a major play in the Rick Nash sweepstakes as well. In short, Poile was "going for it." He knew his club was close and he had to capitalize on the opportunity. An opportunity that he never had during his 15 y...

Sounds more like a stipa gigantea with those tall stems and low foliage clump but a picture will definitely help.
Toby Buckland presented GW for a couple of disastrous years - no respect for the plants, the tools, the audience and some really bad advice and stupid projects. The Beeb dumped him somewhat unceremoniously which wasn't very professional but he definitely had to go.
I agree. First find out if you can get help, especially of the cancer treatment is going well and you are likely to regain your energy.
However I do understand it's dispiriting watching a well loved and tended garden going to rack and ruin. I lost 2 years in my garden thanks to back surgery and then 2 feet reconstruction ops. I have been OK since this spring but it is back breaking work trying to get back in control.
The simplest and cheapest thing to do would be to remove the plants - maybe hold a sale to raise a few pennies for you or charity - and then level and grass over the beds. Paving will require a lot of preparation and materials and expense.
All the best for a full recovery so you can enjoy your garden again.
They will if you can make them big pots, give them very rich compost to grow in, feed them every spring and water regularly.
We have one with no bags as our grass is always too lush and damp and clogs the tubes. I herd the clippings into a singe line and OH rakes it up and dumps it on the compost heap.
A friend of mine with a larger garden swears by his mulching mower which minces the cuttings up really fine and puts them back on the grass - so fin ethey are invisible except when teh garss is very wet and sticks a bit. The automatic ulching feeds the grass and I have to say his is very healthy.
When I first started this garden - former cow pasture - I planted lots of plants I love and went to plant fairs to hunt for out f the ordinary plants. Most have proved not hardy enough or tough enough for my local conditions so now I go for good do-ers.
I have tried dierama several times but it doesn't last the winter.
When I do find a plant that does, I seek out other forms of it so lots of hostas, clematis (hardy to -25C only) some acers, roses, veronicas, peonies, perennial cornflowers, hemerocallis, some hardy geraniums, filipendulas, astilbes, astilboides, ligularia, miscanthus, carex, hakonechloa, molinia, hydrangea paniculata but not lace-cap, deciduous viburnums but not evergreen, Japanese anémones (pink, not white so far), echinops, achilleas, aconitums, foxgloves, sedums, thalictrums, lysimachias, sanguisorbia, heleniums, geums, potentillas, persicarias and so on and forth.
Yes, but it's a 3.6 metre diametre and I could make matching cushion covers...........
A winter project perhaps.
As you can imagine, BM, I was pretty peeved with teh rats but that's what you get for buying a linen/cotton mix parasol. The wood's still good so if and when I see some fabric I like I'll have a go at making a repacement but it's rather large and will need some thought.
What are you doing with your garden chairs? Just a paint job or an aged effect too?
BM - I do like your chair and all the enamel bits and pièces.
I could live with that pink parasol and cushions too but when I went to replace our parasol this spring - after finding the old one's fabric had been eaten by rats in the barn and was irreparable, all they had was white, sand, taupe or bottle green. I chose taupe so it doesn't compete with the garden as yellow would or look too stark if it were white or make us all look ill if it were green.
If you're looking for climbers that are evergreen there are clematis and honeysuckles that woud do the job but you'd need to do a lot of soil improvement for clematis as they are hungry plants. However they won't mind the chalk content at all.
Have a look at http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=3776 http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=114 http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=115
There are evergreen honeysuckles too. Lonicera henryi produces insignificant orange flowers but lonicera fragrantissima will give you scented white flowers from late winter to spring. However, they need plenty of moisture in the soil – but not boggy – so, asw ith the clematis, you'll have to work in lots of garden compost and well rotted manure before planting and make sure they are well watered at plantin time and then given a mulch to retain moisture.
Give top up feeds every spring to keep them healthy and some bonemeal in autumn.
If climbers aren't the answer for you you need to ook at evergreen hedging plants but these will need regular maintenance and will take time to get to the height and density you need. Laurel is a thug and will require hand trimming to stop it getting too wide and high. Using electric shears shreds the large leaves and looks awful.
You could try yew which responds well to being clipped and maintained to size or copper beech which keeps its dried up leaves all winter and then drops them in spring when the new buds open.

Who's Reading Over Your Shoulder?
"The man who would be President", during his campaign, picked the "Man from Nazareth" as his role model, causing this writer to almost fall out of my chair. On election eve, I sadly realized how almost 50% of the voters bought into this obviously shallow man. Of course, the "other side of the aisle" had their own shallow man. I guess voting for one of my role models, Ralph Nader (others include: George Seldes; Michael Parenti; Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky) should only be construed as tipping the balance from "corporate A candidate" to "corporate B candidate".
Interesting how a President who did perhaps his own "insider trading", with a VP under that same cloud, should now condemn a practice he and his "kind" have profited from for generations. A President who referred to (this year's) "corporate enemy #1 as "Kenny Boy", while his VP included "Kenny Boy's" people in those secret U.S. energy policy meetings. Then they chose a corporate (securities industry) attorney to head our SEC. If I recall the new testament, the "man from Nazareth" chased (and ridiculed) the moneylenders from the temple. Since this nation was blessed by our Creator, perhaps we should look upon our government structure, with our Constitution and Bill of Rights, as our "Temple of Truth, Justice and Democracy". Is it democratic when the CEOs of our Fortune 100 corporations earn, on average, over 400 times their lowest employee's salary, while millions struggle to just stay afloat? Does such greed fit with Bush's role model's legacy?
The majority of our population is made up of working folk–people who have to get up each day and punch out 6, 8 or 10 hours. Our median income for a full time worker is way less than $40k a year. That's peanuts with what the dollar can buy in this year 2002. Families of four usually must have both parents working in order to make that mortgage, or more likely, rental payment. Factor in the car payments (usually two), the ever increasing health insurance premium (my own went up 40% after just one year), the utility bills and on and on. My confusion is how in the heck would anyone who fits the above stated criteria ever have voted for the "man from Midland via Nazareth"? Why would a beaten down American working person, taken over the coals with this "free trade" nightmare everyday, support a group that only cares about its corporate sponsors? Even our "watered down" mainstream media is revealing how deeply these corporate scandals knife our economy.
Please be advised: this is not an essay supporting the current Democratic Party. With the exception of the Progressive Caucus, that party is not much better than the "Bushes". The Dems gave us Nafta, Gatt, the Telecommunications act of 96, the Welfare Reform Act, the bombing of Yugoslavia, increased weaponry spending, and other counter democratic measures. No, this is not an essay supporting that alternative. Rather, this is a plea to the real "silent majority' of our Republic. It's time to reject both these parties. It's time to think as independents and refuse to vote for people who do not have working folk's interests at heart. Start by standing up to these "bought and paid for" hacks. Run against them. Coerce them to institute clean election laws–to get private monies out of political campaigns. If a conservative state like Maine could implement them in 1996, any state could do it. Make this one issue the only issue. Refuse to support for any candidate that will not formally, in writing, agree to vote for clean election laws. Start petition drives in your towns and cities. Have meetings at the library or any place that gives free space. Write or e-mail the local papers, continually flooding them with demands for true election reform. Get a group together and show up at city council meetings, and the offices of State and Federal reps, demanding their support of this one issue. If they give you the usual "lip service", vote no to their re-election bids.
Yes, we all need good and truthful role models. Someday perhaps, you the reader will become more active in getting this corrupt and polarizing system to change. Think of what a role model you will become.

Who's Reading Over Your Shoulder?
I hate the feeling of someone reading over my shoulder. Not only is it superficially distracting, but it often affects how I respond to the text. Being conscious of being watched inhibits my thinking because I find myself reading through my watcher's eyes. It makes me suddenly self-conscious, wondering if the stranger is making faulty suppositions about me based on the book in my hand. The bored businessman next to me on the train isn't a big deal, but the thought of the FBI peering over my shoulder in the public library definitely puts me on edge.
Since the USA PATRIOT Act was passed in October 2001, the FBI has been reading over shoulders by visiting libraries across the US to demand library patron's reading records and other files. Under the PATRIOT Act, the FBI doesn't have to demonstrate "probable cause" of criminal activity to request records. In fact, the so-called "search warrant" is issued by a secret court. Once granted, it entitles the FBI to procure any library records pertaining to book circulation, Internet use or patron registration. Librarians can even be compelled to cooperate with the FBI in monitoring Internet usage. This sort of secrecy is not only chilling, it is ripe for potential abuse. A similar Cold War version of library monitoring was called the Library Awareness Program, through which FBI agents specifically targeted Soviet and Eastern European nationals. The American Library Association effectively fought the <L.A.P>. then, and is now standing up to the PATRIOT Act searches. They unequivocally oppose "the use of any governmental prerogatives which leads to the intimidation of the individual or the citizenry from the exercise of free expression." (ALA Policy on Governmental Intimidation (1981)). The ALA sees the new FBI policy for what it is: blatant intimidation of readers.
But beyond FBI intimidation tactics, the new library surveillance program is bound to backfire. What you read does say something about your interests, but it may say different things to different people. If one only sees a few details about someone else's life, their actions can easily be contorted to fit the observer's version of reality. This is a classic sit-com plot line: an observer misconstrues a sequence of unrelated details, and then has a skewed perception of the protagonist. Perhaps the observer reads a personal letter that's lying on a coffee table, but doesn't know it is part of a novel-in-progress. Based on this bit of information, the observer constructs conclusions, with a succession of trivial actions seemingly reinforcing the observer's misperceptions, all to the delight of the omniscient audience.
By seeking to discover what books certain people are reading, the FBI falls right into the role of the ill-informed observer in a similar plot line being played out in libraries across the country. Only it's not so delightful when the FBI concludes you're a terrorist because you're doing research at your local library for an article on suicide bombings, and have amassed a circulation record they deem suspicious. A person who reads a book intending to make a bomb could be a suspect, as could anyone doing research on terrorist bombings in order to prevent them. The same knowledge can be used for "good" or "evil." The fateful tree in the Garden of Eden represented the Knowledge of Good and Evil-opposing values intertwined on one tree. The FBI can't possibly know the intent of knowledge harvested from books, and affording them the opportunity to pretend they can is incredibly dangerous.
Just as a person wearing rose-colored glasses sees everything rosy, so the FBI is predisposed to find suspicious facts. If the FBI wants to scour libraries looking for "suspicious" reading records, they're going to find them, but their perception is inherently skewed by their intent. I view reading as access to information; the FBI views it as an indictment. They suddenly fear domestic suicide bombings, so reading lists are examined and suddenly an innocent researcher is a suspect. In the worst cast scenario, details could be dragged from the one's past, which seemingly support suspicions. In the best case scenario, the FBI has just wasted a lot of time tracking a fictional suspect who they've created from a list of books. Meanwhile, all of us feel the presence of Big Brother reading over our shoulders.
Yes, we want protection from terrorists and we want our government to root out those who intend to harm us. But surveillance always spreads beyond it's original purpose, justified each step of the way by manufactured fear and "better safe than sorry" rationales. We saw this winter how the War on Drugs was deftly tied to the tail of the War on Terrorism: today the FBI is looking for records of people who check out books on bomb-making, tomorrow they're likely to question why you've checked out books about the Columbian drug war.
While the FBI may never visit your library (not that you'll know if they do as librarians are barred by law from disclosing the FBI's presence), this program of surveillance still has a chilling effect on cognitive liberty. The feeling of being monitored inhibits freedom of thought. Take for instance Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984. When Winston gets up the nerve to hide from the omnipresent telescreen to indulge in writing with pen and paper, an act not expressly forbidden, but punishable nonetheless, he "seemed not merely to have lost the power of expressing himself, but even to have forgotten what it was he originally intended to say." Excessive surveillance trained him to self-censor, thereby stifling his creative and cognitive abilities. Likewise, the FBI's surveillance is bound to have a chilling effect on seekers of knowledge who rely on the public library system. It's implied that you'd better watch what you read-because they'll be watching too. Intimidating readers in such a manner is, in effect, controlling what we read and how we think.
Freedom of thought and the freedom to read are intertwined. And while monitoring library records is not as direct as banning books, it is bound to cause self-censorship among readers, which may be the intended result anyway. The government may not be able to ban a book, so instead it will make you a suspect if you read that book. The FBI is merely circumventing the First Amendment by threatening readers rather than prohibiting what they read.
We may not always like what people do with some of the information they access, but that's what ensures our right of access to information. As Supreme Court Justice Kennedy recently observed, "The mere tendency of speech to encourage unlawful acts is not sufficient reason for banning it…. First Amendment freedoms are most in danger when the government seeks to control thought or to justify its laws for that impermissible end. The right to think is the beginning of freedom, and speech must be protected from the government because speech is the beginning of thought." (Majority opinion: Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition).
Under the guise of protecting us from terrorism, this surveillance program intimidates library patrons by spying over our shoulders, collecting reading lists and tracking Internet usage. The FBI is policing our minds by purporting to read them. Of course we want to be kept safe, but not to the extent that we ourselves are patrolled and treated as suspects. Giving up privacy rights can't guarantee physical safety, but it will almost certainly inhibit intellectual freedom and limit cognitive liberty. Americans who cherish our freedom, we should seriously consider whether or not this is a compromise we are willing to make.

I need to perform some validation. I don't have the model in the application.
Does anyone know how to do the validation without a model? Can you show me using a small sample or statement?
I need to perform some validation. I don't have the model in the application.
Does anyone know how to do the validation without a model? Can you show me using a small sample or statement?
Class Validation which is a subclass of Object is used by model class to perform validation against validation rules specified in it.
One can directly instantiate Validation class inside any controller or model and use its methods for performing validation on any data, not only inputs from forms.
You can perform validation of form data in CakePHP without having to create a model.php file. There are many times when I need to do this, and storing model.php files that do nothing more then validation is a poor usage of the model design pattern.
Another problem with CakePHP is that sometimes validation rules are common across multiple models. It would be nice to move validation out of the model, much in the way behaviors are to their own subfolder. That way we can re-use them or use them without a model.
Another problem with validation is that it's dependent upon the model alias. If you have a model called "Email" without a table to perform validation, then the posted form must also use "Email". If the form uses a alias different from the controller, then you have to set the action. A lot of extra steps just to do validation. You can't re-use that model again if your form uses a different model.
So here is my alternative approach.
In your controller's action that receives the posted form data. You can create a default CakePHP model, add some validation rules and then use that model for validation.
An example action might look like this;
The key here is the creation of an automatic model by CakePHP.
The above attempts to find a model by Email in the applications model folder. When it is not found CakePHP will auto-create an in memory model for that class. Since we set the value of 'table' to false, then this should tell CakePHP that this model doesn't use a table.
This works as long as there really isn't a email.php file in the applications model folder. Once this model is created in memory. It's accessible from the built in Form help. That means validation errors will be passed correctly to the view.
Here is an example view file.
The view will now render the validation errors from the Email model using the Form helper. This is because CakePHP class registry has saved a copy of the EMail auto model in memory that the Form helper will access.
If you want to use custom validation rules, then you will have to put the callback methods in the app_model.php file.
These methods tested in CakePHP 1.3
Came across this question since I also had a similar issue. I have a form that needs to collect data and generate a PDF. So there is no data saving involved nor there is a maching model class. The PDF is a user contract and the user will fill the online form and the data filled will be used to generate the PDF which they must print and mail back. But I need to validate whether the fields are not empty, whether email is really an email format, and date inputs are really date inputs.
First I did without a model class then saw this quesion. Now I'm using a dummy model class to have my validations put in there since the code in controller action looks much neat.
I think my first question would be this: if you don't have a model...what are you validating? Typically data collection would be done to populate a model. If you're using an alternative data repository (file, web services, etc.), a model would still be the appropriate way to access and manipulate that data.
In short, in order to better answer this, I think a little more context would be helpful and maybe even necessary.
Honestly, I'd create a model just for the validation. You can create a model that doesn't use a table by adding
And then create a validation array with rules for each field you want to validate:
Then, in your controller, do something like:
If you really, really can't use a model, then you'll have to simply loop over each value in

1570s (n.); 1580s (adj.), from Latin iambicus, from Greek iambikos, from iambos "metrical foot of one unaccented followed by one accented syllable," from iaptein "to assail" (in words), literally "to put forth." The meter of invective and lampoon in classical Greek from the time it was used for such by Archilochos, 7c. B.C.E.

is like a pearl among Kehena properties. It sits right on the lava rock ledge where the waves splash on them every moment, you can feel the spray on your own lanai! The famous Black Sand beach is within walking distance but the house is located away from the often crowded parking lot on the quiet street end, so you won't see or hear the traffic, it's just you and the blue Pacific ocean.

Kehena Makai Kaimu, Hawaii
Additional Location Information
the house is a few minutes walk to the famous Kehena Black Sand Beach, it sits 50 feet away from the lava cliff of the Pacific Ocean. You may sit on the nice and comfy lanai furniture with your coffee or tea enjoy the sunrise, the change of the weather, or just stare at the blue Pacific with 180 degree view right in front of you, without leaving the house. Be lazy, be relaxed, be rejuvenated, nobody bothers you. If the afternoon ocean breeze is too strong we just built a sun deck on the street side of the house for you to soak the sun, it has brand new stylish and comfortable furniture with great privacy. If you are wondering you will be bothered by the crowds at the parking lot of the famous Black Sand beach since it's within walking distance, no you are not since the street curves with the coast line so our house is hidden away from the parking lot in the nice and peaceful part of the street. It's just you and the ocean with no interruption, unless you like to walk to the black sand beach to join the activities.

Gear Review
End muscle fatigue
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I do a lot of sprinting and HIIT (high intensity interval training). I was getting a lot of muscle fatigue and soreness; especially in my ham strings. These tights are amazing! Using them has greatly reduced my soreness to almost nothing. I highly recommend them.

First, let me just say that even though I mostly lurk, I'm loving this new board!
Now, we are finally having my LO baptised this weekend (he'll be 1 next week). It was a little delayed because we moved across country and wanted to get settled into a church in our new home first. Anyway, my brother and SIL will be his godparents and I'm struggling a little with an idea of a gift to get for them. That is a thing, right, to get something for the godparents??
I'm planning to just pick up a framed picture of LO from his first birthday shoot as a back up, but I feel like I should think of something different and I'm running out of time! What would you (or did you) give the godparents of your children? We are Episcopalian if that makes any kind of difference.
