What a great collection of suggestions! Flour is our favorite, we go all the time..but I dont know how I have never gotten their raspberry seltzer! I will have to try that next time I go (which will probably be later today!) I am right there with you about suggesting heading to the South End for shopping, I just went into Olives and Grace yesterday and picked up the perfect candle to give as a gift to a friend.


text: After a long night, the group sets off again, driving all day along bumpy, dusty, jungle roads. They stop at small, family-run facility where dolce de leite is produced. Dolce de leite, or "sweet milk" is a Brazilian delicacy with a caramel like taste and consistency, made by heating milk. They group gets plenty of samples to taste and take home. On the way the group also stops at a local potter's home in the countryside where he has handmade goods for sale. Late into the day, the group visits a Quilombo, a historic hinterland settlement where decedents of African slaves now live. The elder medicine woman of the village welcomes them into her home and serves them coffee before their departure. Finally after dark, the bus arrives at PETAR: Parque Estadual Turistico Do Alto Riberia (State Touristic Park of the upper Riberia River). They settle in at Pousada da Diva, the first ecotouristic inn established near the park, where they will be spending the next two days.

John Wells, an emeritus professor at Tennessee Tech University, will present his annual organ concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, in the Bryan Fine Arts building's Wattenbarger Auditorium.
The program will feature music ranging from the High Renaissance to the 20th century, including music by Alain, Susato, Bach, Gigout, Messiaen and Liszt. Guest artists Dwight Wages and John Bohlen, trumpets, will play a sonata for two trumpets and organ by Corelli, and cellist Rachel Smalling will play "Prayer (From Jewish Life)" for cello and organ by Ernest Bloch.
The organ in TTU's Wattenbarger Auditorium is a 27-rank Schantz/Milnar pipe organ with 1603 pipes. It is one of three pipe organs in Cookeville and has undergone the first phase of a series of planned repairs and upgrades. The upgrades have improved the sound quality and the organist's ability to control volume.
Wells is a member of the Nashville Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. He has played organ recitals in several states and has served as a church organist and pianist for many years. At TTU, he developed and taught an acoustics of music course about the science behind how musical instruments work, how we hear the sounds they produce and why some sounds are called music and others noise.
Wages is the founder of the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass Band and a trumpet player with the Cookeville Community Band. He founded the state's Clarion Brass Quintet and frequently plays solos at weddings and other special occasions.
Bohlen is a mechanical engineer with Oreck and plays trumpet with the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass Band, the Cookeville Community Band and the Cookeville First Baptist Church Orchestra.
Smalling is a TTU cello student.

Exquisite English-style luxury in a historic Knightsbridge townhouse
This small boutique hotel offers the best five-star services with the perks of a quiet, neighborhood location. Knightsbridge is an upscale neighborhood that places guests within a short walk of exclusive shopping and museums. The scene is set here by rich decor that evokes another time in England's history. Beautiful silver antiques, unique light fixtures, and luxurious furniture all encourage lingering breakfasts and long hours of afternoon tea. For an extra touch of exclusivity, the hotel is also known for its original art collection with works by Picasso and Matisse.
Beyond the decor that is worthy of royalty, the staff at the Egerton House hotel are what makes the scene so memorable. This boutique hotel is an escape within a busy city, serving afternoon tea on a rainy day or a perfect martini to get an evening started.
In the upscale Knightsbridge neighborhood near exclusive shopping and museums, but a 10-minute walk from the nearest tube stations
Knightsbridge is an affluent shopping and residential area populated by well-heeled locals. This neighborhood is home to some of London's wealthiest residents, including Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich. Located south of Hyde Park, the two nearest tube stations -- Knightsbridge and South Kensington -- are a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Many popular London attractions are nearby, including a 10-minute walk to the Chelsea Antiques market, a 2-minute walk to the famous Harrods department store, and a 8-minute walk to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This area of South Kensington is often called the "Little France" of London -- with its French cafes, bookshops, culture institute and a French secondary school. The neighborhood is filled with French expatriates and Francophiles, and French is often spoken in this part of London.
Individually decorated, elegant rooms with historic character
Rooms and suites are decorated in a rich, luxurious English style, without being too traditional or stuffy. Rooms here aren't huge, but are incredibly well-appointed with opulent marble bathrooms, Penhaligon's toiletries, well-stocked minibar (that includes vitamins), iPod docks, free Wi-Fi, and built-in international power sockets. All of these amenities are topped off with special touches like antique furniture and rare art from prominent painters like Picasso, Matisse, and Chagall.
A luxurious drawing room and inviting bar
Egerton House Hotel provides a luxurious place to relax after a busy day exploring London. Beyond the richly decorated guest rooms, that also includes a cozy drawing room for afternoon tea and an inviting bar for an evening cocktail. In addition to these features, part of what makes this hotel so special is its devotion to incredible service. The staff here can help arrange theater tickets, dinner reservations, historic walking tours, and more.
This exquisite luxury boutique hotel with just 28 rooms offers the elegance of a different time in England's history. Located in the upscale Knightsbridge neighborhood, Egerton House Hotel is a short walk from the famous Harrods Department store and renowned London museums. Rooms in this historic townhouse are individually decorated in rich fabrics, and have opulent bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, champagne on arrival, and candles at turndown. The common spaces are just as special, with a notable art collection -- including works by Picasso and Matisse -- and a gorgeous drawing room for afternoon tea.

I haven't played Zork since my Commodore 64 days. I mastered all of the Zork games had have missed them these many years. Can't wait to get started.
Rey 2014-07-21 0 point
I have a box filled with all the old zork games and a whole bunch of text based games and some old dos games ... too bad they're all on 5.25 and 3.5 floppy disk. I would love to play them again

I first played Zork when Dos was the only way to play. No pictures. "You're standing by a mailbox." That's how it started..Hopefully it has improved since then.

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Kale Pearson scored four touchdowns to lead the Air Force Falcons past the Georgia State Panthers, 48-38, in non- conference action at the Georgia Dome.
Pearson completed 12-of-15 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing in a pair of scores for Air Force (2-1). Jacobi Owens carried the ball 25 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Jalen Robinette (four receptions, 118 yards) and Garrett Brown (six receptions, 96 yards, two TDs) both had strong days receiving.
For GSU (1-2), Nick Arbuckle threw for 414 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on 26-of-42 passing. Lynquez Blair (five receptions, 74 yards) was on the receiving end of both Arbuckle touchdowns, and Kyler Neal had 10 carries for 80 yards and a score.
The Falcons scored a touchdown on the game's opening possession, with Owens running one in from two yards out to cap off a nine-play, 73-yard drive.
Air Force made it 14-0 midway through the first quarter on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Pearson to Brown.
GSU got on the board early in the second quarter on a 25-yard touchdown rush by Neal, although Air Force responded less than four minutes later with another touchdown run by Owens (seven yards).
The Falcons scored another touchdown on the ground with 4:21 left in the half, this time on a one-yard run by Pearson.
Will Lutz knocked through a 33-yard field goal for GSU with 1:03 to play before intermission, but Air Force countered with a 22-yarder off the foot of Will Conant in the half's waning seconds to take a 31-10 lead into the locker room.
The Panthers struck first in the third quarter when Arbuckle hooked up with Blair on a 15-yard touchdown.
Pearson added another one-yard rushing touchdown midway through the third to bring the Falcons' lead back to 21 points, 38-17.
GSU refused to go away, as Arbuckle rushed in a one-yard score with 1:50 left in the third, capping off a 12-play, 75-yard drive.
Air Force put the game out of reach early in the fourth when Pearson hooked up with Brown on another touchdown, this time from 22 yards out.
The second-half seesaw continued on GSU's next possession when Arbuckle and Blair hooked up for a 13-yard score.
Conant connected on a 41-yard field goal later in the frame, and the scoring concluded with a two-yard touchdown run by Duvall Smith for GSU.
GSU was plagued by seven penalties and it committed the game's only turnover.

Glee Recap of Season 3, Episode 17: "Dance With Somebody" — Kurt Meets a New Guy!
Ain't it shocking what Glee can do! Tonight's stellar Glee episode had a ton of amazing moments, between Quinn and Joe coming thisclose to hooking up, Burt and Kurt making us cry (what else is new?), and all those mind-blowing Whitney Houston tunes. And with Brittany's hilarious comment about cheetahs, combined with her Season 1 line about dolphins being gay sharks, maybe Brit's true passion is zoology?
Were we the only ones who enjoyed tonight's episode so much that we want to celebrate by drinking champagne on a Tuesday? We doubt it! The episode, "Dance with Somebody," kicked off with Schue showing concern that glee club's prolonged mourning of Whitney stems from their fear of moving on with their lives after graduation. Then again, maybe Schue just hasn't seen Waiting to Exhale recently enough.
But we challenge you to not to find it adorable when Schue reveals that he wants to move up his wedding so that New Directions will be certain to attend. Mr. Schue is so pinchably cute sometimes! Also, he clearly needs some friends his own age.
Early in the episode, we got a pretty big "HCTHPNTUTIH" moment. (That is, a "How Can This Happen?! Please No, Tell Us This Isn't Happening!!!" moment. But you probably guessed that's what it stood for, right?) That moment came when Kurt met a guy named Chandler at Between the Sheets (gotta love that wordplay) and — huge gasp! — gave him his phone number. How could Kurt do that? Was he really considering cheating on Blaine? And is it just us, or did that tall knit cap of Chandler's sort of make him resemble a Smurf? (Obviously, his name would be "Annoying Smurf.")
We gotta say it: We were stunned that Kurt would exchange numbers, which then led to Chandler sending Kurt a ton of cheesy compliments via text message. (Okay, so Chandler's line about Kurt's "asp" was kinda clever, but still.) But once we found out that Blaine has been pulling away from Kurt because he was afraid of being without him next year, we at least realized that they in fact still love each other. Deep breaths, everyone!
To be honest, it's nice to see that Klaine can have an argument and emerge stronger than ever, even if Klaine having to face a major issue is almost as rare an occurrence as Will Smith making a subpar movie. Then again, as painful as it was to watch Klaine's fight, it wasn't nearly as painful as having to sit through the Will Smith film Wild Wild West.
Is everyone out there excited about the possibility of a Quoe hook-up? Well, you should at least try to get excited (and yes, Team Quick, we're looking at you!), because Joe and Quinn getting together is basically a foregone conclusion.
Frankly, we're totally onboard with Joe and Quinn! Joe is totally sweet and is certainly smitten with Quinn, as he gets all handsy with her during physical therapy and even asks Sam for help (awkward!). Our only advice to Quinn? She should probably carry hand sanitizer around with her wherever she goes, just in case she ends up taking Joe up on his offer to rub his dread for luck. (Translation: When it comes to his hair, Joe doesn't strike us as a lather-rinse-repeat kind of guy.)
For our "Favorite Scene of the Week," we had oodles of gems to choose from, but we're gonna have to go with that totally cute scene between Rachel and Santana in front of Santana's locker, following their stellar duet. To be honest, we had thought that the odds of a Rachel-Santana reconciliation (and hug — love it!) was about as likely as finding a jar of spaghetti sauce that opens the first time you try to turn it, and yet we were wrong. Team Loberry for the win!
So many other great scenes could qualify as a runner-up for the Best Scene slot, but we'll go with that touching scene between Kurt and Burt. These two manage to crack us up (Starsky and Gay Hutch!) just as they're making us cry. In fact, if you could listen to Burt tell Kurt that "we made each other men" and you still had dry eyes, then you just might need to consult an ophthalmologist.
Of course, let's not forget about the songs! While a few of last week's songs failed to impress us (let's call it falsetto overload), all of this week's songs were across-the-board amazing, from the a cappella "How Will I Know," to Brittana doing "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" in those Whitney-esque grey dresses and sparkly bows, to Kurt finally getting his own song and blowing us away on "I Have Nothing." Whitney would certainly have been proud of them all.
And then there were plenty of other things to discuss about the episode, like the fact that Sam lost his virginity last year, apparently to a customer at the strip club. Say what?! (Talk about romantic.) And sure, Blaine was looking as sexy as always this week (especially in that all-black ensemble during "It's Not Right But It's Okay"), but where the heck were his bow ties? We can't be the only ones currently going through bow tie withdrawals as a result, right?
As we mentioned before, it was great to hear a song from Kurt, but why has Tina been basically nonexistent for so much of this season? She would have nailed a Whitney song, but she just wasn't given the chance. Come to think of it, it was also a little funny to have no Sue and basically no Finn (but admit it — it was kinda nice to get a break from the Finchel drama for a week, right?).
So between the sensational slate of songs and the oh-so-touching moments of the students (and Schue) dealing with the impending graduation, this was a super episode. And while it might not have seemed like a lot of things actually happened, we actually liked that about the episode, since everyone got a chance to realize how much they all mean to each other. Heck, even Puck got all nostalgic about his bro-ments!
We can't wait for next week's episode (Whoopi!), but in the meantime, we're going to rewatch this week's songs about a hundred times each. Can someone pass us the champagne?

Many of Chile\'s plants and animals are endemic, meaning that they are found nowhere else on earth. Of some 5,100 identified plant species, over 2,500 are endemic. Many unique ecosystems are preserved within one of South America\'s finest national park systems: Chile ranks seventh in the world, and third in the Americas, in percentage of landmass protected. Five UNESCO World Biosphere Reserves underscore Chile\'s importance as a treasure trove of biodiversity.
Because of tremendous variations in climate and geography, few plants or animals are found throughout Chile\'s entire 2,600-mile length. Guanacos - wild relatives of the llama and alpaca - were once common throughout the Chilean Andes, but now are found only in the far north and in Patagonia. Pumas still inhabit many national parks throughout the country, and the Andean Condor is often seen in high altitude environments. Coastal environments are somewhat more homogeneous, thanks to the Humboldt Current, which carries cold, nutrient-rich waters north along the Chilean coast.

Just recently Windows has released the final version of Windows 8, and surprisingly Apple has also released the latest major upgrade to its desktop operating system, the OS X Mountain Lion.
So how are they? Here in this article we will do bit by bit comparison of each feature of both the operating system.
The New User Interface
The new interface in Windows 8 shows that it has more influence from Windows phone than OS X Mountain Lion has from iOS.
Unlike iOS, Windows 8 has large, touchable "live tiles" that gives you quick access to any of the apps or pages. Meaning you can easily do everything using your thumbs. iOS does not give you such feature.
Skydrive and iCloud
With the new release, an updated version of iCloud is included in iOS which will store information on any purchased apps and will help you sync files between other Apple devices.
Windows 8 on the other hand includes similar feature but it's called Skydrive. And in addition to storing purchase information, the service can serve as simple online storage that can not only work with Windows devices but also with Macs and iOS.
Another cool feature of the Skydrive is Fetch, which lets you fetch a file from a PC running the Skydrive software even if the desired file has not been uploaded to the online storage. This feature is not available in iCloud.
The App Store
The Mac Store and The Windows Store are almost identical. Both lets you purchase apps and install them on multiple machines you sign into. You can also handle updating remotely in a unified manner.
However The Windows Store is not as rich in browsing options as Mac App Store because you will have to page through the categories. There are limited numbers of apps in The Windows Store as compared to the Mac App Store.
Internet Browsers
The new release of windows has included Internet Explorer 10 which not only takes hardware acceleration but uses PC's graphic processor as well. In addition you can sync favorites and history.
iOS on the other hand has Safari 6 included. There is a new browser design choice of using a single box or address entry and search. Safari's Cloud tab will help you resume browsing after moving from one device to another. This feature is not available in IE10.
The Sharing Feature
Each new release has its own unique sharing feature. In iOS there is a new sharing arrow button that lets you post whatever current item you are on by posting directly to email, iMessage, twitter or Vimeo.
While the sharing feature in windows 8 has a built in sharing feature that is always available in the charms toolbar. The service will not only help you post in the social sites but also help you connect to the built in windows 8 people app.
New Features
Windows has included several new features in this new release including mail, photos, people, messaging, weather, finance, calendar maps, news, sports, movies and music. Most of these services display live updated info on their start pages tiles which is not possible in Mac OS.
Another cool feature includes Refresh which clean out all the junk files and Reset with which you can get completely new windows installation. Windows Explorer and Task Manager have been updated with new looks and capabilities. The biggest "extra" feature is that the startup is really fast.
Mac OS X also has some cool new features. One of them is AirDrop feature which lets you transfer files to nearby Mac without any disk, USB connections and even a WIFI connection. With the Auto Save feature you would never have to worry about losing your work just because you forget to click the save button.
Dictation is another new feature which lets you talk whenever you'd normally have to type. Game Center service will let you manage all your gaming apps and activities. In addition you can connect to a gaming network and receives notifications.
Hardware Support
Windows 8 will run on both Intel and AMD x86 chips as well as on ARM based mobile processors. This new OS asks at least 2GB RAM and DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM driver. The new MAC OS is available in selected models.
Windows 8 are available as installation software for desktops and laptops and costs $39.99 but for tablets it comes as preinstalled. Upgrade is also available and costs $14.99. These costs are only for definite period of time.
Installation of OS X on Mac has somewhat new twist. Those who have earlier OS version than Snow Leopard should purchase the $19.99 Lion upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. That means users of versions prior to Snow Leopard will have to go through a separate upgrade process.
The Bottom Line
Each of these new releases has its own unique features as well as drawbacks. So in the end, it all comes to individual taste. Mac OS comes preinstalled or you can upgrade only when you have selected Apple machines. Windows 8 on the other hand is available as installation disk. That means you can install it to any machines that meet the minimum requirements.

Man shoots self after firing at law enforcement in Ironton
IRONTON — A domestic dispute Sunday afternoon in Ironton resulted in a man fatally shooting himself after firing at law enforcement officers.
No one else was injured in the incident, which began just before 3 p.m. in the 2700 block of County Road 181, according to Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless in a prepared release. A caller told a Lawrence County 911 dispatcher that a man, whose name was not released, was firing shots at a residence on County Road 181 from his champagne-colored Ford Ranger.
Officers from the Sheriff's Office, Ohio Highway Patrol and Ironton, South Point and Coal Grove police departments responded to the call and found the suspect driving on County Road 181. The man refused to stop his truck until reaching the driveway of the residence in question.
The man exited the truck and fired two shots toward the residence with a handgun, Lawless said. He then grabbed a high-powered rifle, turned toward the Coal Grove police cruiser and fired three rounds. One of the rounds struck the hood of the cruiser before the officer could flee from the vehicle, Lawless said. Law enforcement officers did not fire back at the suspect, he said.
The man got back in his truck and was unresponsive to officers' attempts to establish communication with him, Lawless said. A short time later, officers heard two gunshots from the truck and saw the man slumped over. The Lawrence County Coroner's Office pronounced the man dead at the scene.
The prepared release did not describe the relationship between the man and the resident of the home that was targeted. The incident remains under investigation.

XU's Semaj Christon had a game-high 15 points in the Musketeers' win at Butler.
Feb. 11, 2014
INDIANAPOLIS - A dominant defensive effort spurred Xavier to a 64-50 win again Butler in historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Musketeers' stingy defense led to a 22-2 run that spanned the two halves and pushed a four-point Xavier lead to 24.
The win improves Xavier to 17-7 overall and 7-4 in the BIG EAST, while Butler drops to 12-12, including 2-10 in conference action.
XU kept the defensive pressure up all night, holding BU to just 34 percent shooting (18-of-53). Meanwhile, Xavier connected on 53 percent (27-of-51) of its shots. The Musketeers also owned the glass, posting a 34-26 edge on the boards.
Butler's leading scorer Kellen Dunham was held scoreless until the 15-minute mark of the second half, when he cleaned up his own miss to end a 13-0 run by the Musketeers. Dunham entered the game averaging 17.4 ppg, but mustered just two points on 1-for-10 shooting in the contest.
Xavier staked a 26-16 lead in the opening frame, but six-straight points from Butler cut the margin to four, 26-22. That's when the Musketeers took over and went on their 22-2 run, which lasted from the 1:15 mark of the first half until 11:59 in the second.
Semaj Christon led XU with 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting. Isaiah Philmore went for 10 points on five made field goals and both Dee Davis and Justin Martin added nine in the win. A native of Indianapolis, Davis put together an all-around great effort. He added nine assists in the contest and was the primary defender on Dunham. Matt Stainbrook tallied six points, but hauled in nine boards.
Davis dropped a trio of three's and Xavier shot 52 percent (13-of-25) to take a 31-22 lead into halftime. Butler was held to just 35 percent (8-of-23) shooting. The 22 points scored by Butler were the fewest allowed by XU dating back to the Crosstown Classic, when UC mustered just 20 points against XU in the opening frame.
Next up for Xavier is a trip to Milwaukee, Wis., for the second meeting of the BIG EAST Conference season with Marquette. Behind a career-high 28 points from Christon, the Musketeers secured an 86-79 at Cintas Center on Jan. 9.

Regardless of whether Mayor Tom Potter decides in mid-September to run again, know this: The United States is more likely to elect its first black president next year than Portland is to elect its first black mayor.
The polls may show Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama with only an outsider's chance of winning the White House. But at least Obama, who's coming to Portland on Sept. 7, is running.
So far, there is no African-American candidate in the race for Portland mayor, and none on the horizon even if Potter doesn't run. In fact, the only recognizable African-American contender to surface—businessman Roy Jay—says he's not a candidate, though he claims other Portlanders are "talking up his name" as a last-minute entry.
Yes, Portland's black population is 6.6 percent, small in comparison to other U.S. cities. But it's curious to some that Portland's progressive reputation doesn't translate into electing a black mayor.
"It's a national embarrassment that in 2007 we don't have one black face to show the world," says a politically active 35-year-old Arbor Lodge woman who goes by one name, Byrd. "I think people are honestly scared to see a black person in a position of power," says Byrd, volunteer coordinator for James Posey, who was the only African-American candidate among 23 hopefuls in Portland's May 2004 mayoral primary.
Posey doesn't blame his fourth-place finish in 2004 on racism. Yet while he lists his political inexperience and lack of support from other blacks among the factors, Posey says, "You can peg the progressivity of this town based on its acceptance of race…. This city will never be united until it sheds all that racist garbage."
He says the city is too sophisticated to be overtly racist, and that racism comes in more covert forms, as manifested by the fact that blacks besides himself have not fared well in citywide elections. Portland has had only two African-American commissioners, Charles Jordan and Dick Bogle.
Certainly, other cities with small black populations—such as Iowa City (3.7 percent) and Cambridge, Mass. (11.9 percent)—have elected black mayors.
And it's not just a black Portlander like Posey who wonders about Portland's lack of a black mayor. Just ask Nick Fish, a consummate white guy and two-time City Council candidate turned host of a weekly public-affairs program on KRCW-TV.
Fish ascribes Portland's track record to its system in which the mayor and city commissioners are elected citywide rather than by district. If the five-person City Council were divided into geographic districts, Fish and others contend, then there would be a greater chance of minority voters in North or outer East Portland choosing a minority commissioner, who would then have a base to run for mayor.
Fish points to a 1987 federal court decision that overturned a similar commission form of government in Springfield, Ill., on the grounds that it violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Since 1965, Portland has had seven mayors and 22 commissioners, two of whom were African-Americans, Jordan and Bogle. Neither ran for mayor.
Jordan was the first of the two, appointed, then elected, in 1974. He twice considered running for mayor, but says it wasn't any fear of voter prejudice that stopped him. The timing wasn't right in either instance, he says.
"Five at-large people is a recipe for five white guys," Fish says. "I think there is a Voting Rights Act lawsuit waiting to happen out there.… It matters if there's a pool in the minority community that cannot compete."
Asked if he'd be interested in leading that charge, Fish—a lawyer whose clients have included prominent African-American school officials—says he doesn't know of any planned litigation. But he does say he will raise the issue with Commissioner Randy Leonard. Leonard says he also thinks the issue is ripe for a lawsuit.
Jordan considers citywide elections a hindrance to minority candidates, but opposes any effort to overturn the commission form of government.
"I like the commission form because it's clean," Jordan says. "Eventually, it's going to happen—we'll have a person of color who's real serious about winning…. Portland will elect a black mayor."

Speak Truth To Power - The Play
On February 19, 2014, at the European Union in Brussels, several Members of European Parliament joined Academy-Award nominated actress Lena Olin, and actors Dylan Bruno and Dennis Haysbert for a one-night performance of the RFK Center play Speak Truth To Power: Voices from Beyond the Dark, written by Ariel Dorfman and based on the book by Kerry Kennedy.
The performance, directed by Seppo Laukkanen from the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, featured Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament, and MEPs Cecilia Wikström, Renate Weber, Michael Cashman, Guy Verhofstadt, Marielle Gallo, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, and Eleni Theocharous.
The show was a collaboration between the European Parliament, the Royal Dramatic Theatre, and the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, with the support of the United Postcode Lotteries. Watch the full series of videos on YouTube.

Parliament to Host Play Celebrating Work of Human Rights Defenders, The Parliament.com, February 18, 2014
Playwright Ariel Dorfman was inspired to write a theatrical presentation based on interviews with over fifty human rights activists from around the world. The resulting play, Speak Truth To Power: Voices from Beyond the Dark, was presented at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington D.C. in September 2000, and broadcast as part of PBS's The Kennedy Center Presents. The play has been produced across the United States and performed by major actors in Athens, Barcelona, Cape Town, Florence, Geneva, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Kinshasa, Madrid, Mantua, Milan, Phnom Penh, Rome, Seoul, and Sydney. Notable was a performance in Doha, Qatar, transmitted live on Al Jazeera and read by ten of the most celebrated actors and singers of the Arabic world. Future productions are planned for Bulgaria, France, Mexico and Zimbabwe. It has also been performed by schoolchildren, college students, local heroes and even prisoners (in a major theatre in Bucharest, after rehearsals in the penitentiary). Below is just a partial list of the actors and actresses who have performed Speak Truth To Power:
Alec Baldwin, Harry Belafonte, Alexis Bledel, Loraine Bracco, Jamie Cepero, Glenn Close, Trevor Donovan, Hector Elizondo, Giancarlo Esposito, America Ferrera, Marcia Gay Harden, Rupert Graves, Charles Grodin, Woody Harrelson, Bob Herbert, Saeed Jaffrey, Kevin Kline, Dawnn Lewis, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, John Malkovich, Julianna Margulies, Matthew Modine, Alfred Molina, Julianne Moore, Rita Moreno, Viggo Mortensen, Bill Nighy, Mandy Patinkin, Sean Penn, Lynn Redgrave, Vanessa Redgrave, Gloria Reuben, Rufus Sewell, Martin Sheen, Christian Slater, Paul Sorvino, Juliet Stevenson, Sharon Stone, Meryl Streep, Janet Suzman, Stanley Tucci, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Sam Waterston, Sigourney Weaver, Bradley Whitford, Debra Winger, Alfre Woodard and Robin Wright Penn.

I live across the street from Lenny's on 54th st. 2nd ave... I used to be a regular but no more. I went in a couple of weeks ago for a simple mozzarella & roasted veg sandwich... I watched them burn the toast twice... let the vegetables sit there.. waited 20 minutes... ok then... I believe in second chances. This evening, (simple) i decided to order a grilled blt with swiss / honey mustard and small chopped greek salad on the side... EZ...Guess what? not grilled, no honey mustard or swiss... Salad...not chopped... just piled...very wilted vegetables... the service not so good.... they said i should complain... Well here goes.
Posted by FoodieNYC on 10/27/2009
Lenny's is the best place for any type of food. literally. their menu is so huge, i'm afraid to even try and think about something other than the chicken cheddar i get as a wrap. i may get lost in all the options and combinations i can have. I was so happy to get the food, especially after having a verbal fight with another local eatery because they didn't deliver past 2nd Avenue. Very happy Lenny's was there to make my hungry tummy feel better.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/01/2009
Ive been ordering here for the last year or so every night, however, lately my deliveries have been consistently late. I hope this is just an irregularity as I thoroughly enjoy their hot sandwiches.
Posted by Eslimmer on 06/15/2009
i used to order from them almost everyday for lunch, the past 3 times they messed up my order. I finally called to complain. They said they would give me a full credit of the amount on my next order. I then tried to use the credit on my next order and was denied. The manager wouldnt help at all. They lost a huge regular customer
Posted by Lyn on 05/22/2009
Although the atmosphere can be a bit crazy during lunch hours (but really what place in manhattan isnt?), Lennys has good, fresh food, at a pretty decent price. The sandwiches are pretty big, I think, and the salads are very fresh. Enjoy!

So, Lenny's was a great neighborhood addition. . . Fresh food, good sandwiches, when they want to serve you. I eat my dinner between 730 and 8pm every night. I usually make it into Lenny's by 715 or 7:30 and place my order. Two times I arrived at 7:45. The store was open, but the counters are all closed. With a smile a young man tells me, "Sorry, the counter is closed." The smile doesn't mean much when you are refused service! I don't understand why the store says they close at 8pm, but they actually close at 7:45pm.

The previous review was highly exaggerated given the fact that Lenny's sandwiches are by far the best in NYC. You can easily pay $4-$6 for a latte at Starbucks and he is complaning about a $6-$8 sandwich that comes with the freshest ingredients (unlike other delis where you can clearly see the dried up salads and cheap meats) which is prepared by Lenny's trained sandwich-makers? I love the variety of breads and the top quality ingredients. wish it was available at the Yankees stadium so I don't have to eat $4.50 hotdogs with plain old packaged ketchup and mustard!

Bucharest Java User Group: Launched and Growing!
The Bucharest Java User Group is up and running in Bucharest, Romania! The JUG held its fourth meeting (see picture) on August 23. The group's first meeting was held on May 24. In a message to the Java.net JUG Leaders email list, Bucharest JUG leader Ioan Eugen Stan noted: "We've started a JUG in Bucharest and we're doing well. We've just held
our 4'th edition and there is a huge interest."
That's a great way to start!
Thus far, each meeting has featured three presentations! That's quite an impressive start for a new Java User Group. I'll guess that in part this is because Java is a very important technology in Romania. According to the web traffic analysis site Alexa.com, Romania ranks 28th among the world's nations in Java.net's audience (though Romania ranks 59th in population). But also, finding three people each month to give presentations surely attests to the organizational skills of Bucharest JUG's leadership.
Thus far, the presentation topics have included Guava, Maven 3, Apache James, open-source Java developers, Apache Sling, JAAS, Trove, secure Web apps, writing clean code, Eclipse Modeling Framework, and Sikuli. Some time after each meeting, the presentations are published online, and the links are published on the Bucharest JUG web site.
The Bucharest Java User Group has a Google Group with an email list, and they also have a github repository. The Bucharest JUG Java.net project was started in August.
The JUG defines its mission in its invitation to potential new members:
Welcome! If you are a passionate developer using either Java, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, JRuby or any other language based on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) you are in the right place. Our plan is to organise a monthly face to face meeting with 2-3 presentations starting around 7PM and later on move to a pub for drinks.
Sounds like fun! Welcome, and congratulations, Bucharest JUG!

Hello everyone!I'm new to the forum. I just started painting so I am inexperienced and nervous about making mistakes when it comes to priming my canvas.I am starting a painting on a linen canvas and I have sized it with one coat of GAC 400 and two coats of GAC 100. This was recommended on a website I went to. I have with me right now Fredrix Acrylic Gesso, but I also ordered a Gamblin Oil Primer and I am waiting for it to be delivered in the mail.My question has to do with using both forms of primer. I was wondering if it would be okay to do a few coats of the acrylic gesso, sanding in between, and then applying about two coats of the oil primer when it arrives.Is it okay to apply oil primer over acrylic gesso?On a side note, this idea to use the acrylic gesso before the oil primer came when I noticed that my canvas, with the GAC 400 and 100 coats applied, is very smooth now but still contains very very minuscule holes in some places that are natural to the linen canvas. I have applied 3 coats of these GAC sizings and I am wondering if it is okay that these tiny tiny holes are there. If it isn't okay, I'm wondering if I can make it better with coats of acrylic gesso and then coats of oil primer. I don't want to apply any more sizing to the canvas than has been recommended in what I read on the Golden website.If someone can help me or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate that greatly! Thank you!
What size painting? and why are you doing all of this? Are you from somewhere where primed canvas and linen are not available?
Two reasons to use linen are the fine texture and color. If you are filling the weave to the point of smoothness then why use it? Great painting panels are available everywhere or use Masonite (hardboard) or MDF. It the canvas is very large then sometimes fabric is a good choice.
You can coat any fabric with Gesso alone. That's why it was invented. You are over-complicating something that's fairly simple. You can prime a linen with hardware store Zin water based primer or Zin alachol based primer too and just start painting. I have art school paintings done in the 60s, primed with two coats of Gesso and they are perfect. We all used canvas and linen was just not used, maybe because it was expensive?
I would start your painting and on the next one if you have linen already bought, just use gesso or hardware store primer. Oil paint is not this dangerous evil thing waiting to destroy paintings. For the most part it dries and does nothing more than just sits there.

The Fort Dorchester boys' soccer team was hit hard by graduation but Patriots' coach Chris Jones is optimistic about the 2013 season.
The Fort lost 10 players to graduation, including two all-state athletes. But the team does return several varsity lettermen and has added some promising young players.
"We have aspirations to repeat as region champion and I'm putting no limits on this group," Jones said. "The kids we lost were phenomenal soccer players and good kids. Any time you lose kids that mature and disciplined it hurts your team. I enjoyed last year, but I'm also enjoying working with a group this year that maybe I can mold a little bit more. It's fun working with a new group and looking at maybe playing a different way."
The players voted for junior midfielder Spencer Wilder and senior goalkeeper Tiago Dos Santos to be captains. Christian Baker is another key returner who will see a lot of time between the posts.
"We've been fortunate to have two solid keepers for the last few seasons so basically they split time in goal," Jones said. "They have both earned playing time and that has worked well for us so we are going to stick with it."
Other returning lettermen include defenders Michael Spellman and Batoua Wonlet, midfielders Trevour Johnson and Troy Hardin, and forward Alihan Ozsoylu. Also on the team are Matt Hardin, Reid Couch, Trent De Leon Bourque, Mariano Bustos, Zikeem Smith, Caleb Sandoval, Gonzalo Millan, Jack Stasek, Clay Mahlie, Ashton Reilly, Pablo Valenzuela, Andrew Kephart, Koh Matsumoto, Brandon Bozeman and Jake Fladd.
"Our seniors are all such good kids so we have a good group of leaders," Jones said. "Those seniors are all good student-athletes so I expect them to lead the team and most of the other kids have been in our program with a couple of exceptions."
The Patriots are off to a 3-3 start this season, including tournament play. The Fort placed third in the first annual Azalea Soccer Shootout held the first weekend of March at the Summerville Soccer Club.
The Patriots fell 3-0 to Wando, the No. 2 ranked Class AAAA team in the state, in their third game of the regular season Tuesday. It was a tighter game than the score indicates.
"I'm extremely proud of the way we stuck to the game plan tonight," Jones said. "That plan worked for the most part and we made them nervous there for a while. I have to take the blame for the loss because we haven't gone over how to react if a player on the other team gets a red card. When they were a player down they worked that much harder and we didn't take advantage of it."

State Capitol
State Lawmaker: "Confederate Pension Must Go"
By Scott Wartman, The Kentucky Enquirer
More than a half-century after the last Civil War veterans died, a chapter in Kentucky law still offers a $50-a-month pension to any veteran who can prove service in the Confederate Army. State Rep. Adam Koenig, R-Erlanger, pre-filed a bill to repeal Kentucky Revised Statutes chapter 206 on Confederate pensions. "There's so much stuff in the law that's a waste, that needs to be repealed." Koenig said.

Motor Carrier Safety
Each year on average about 4,000 people die in truck crashes and more than 100,000 are injured. In fatal crashes involving a truck and passenger car, 97% of the fatalities are occupants of the passenger vehicle. Advocates' safety priorities include stronger oversight and enforcement of motor carrier safety rules.
On June 29th, 2012, the House and Senate passed the surface transportation reauthorization legislation, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), Public Law 112-141. This law includes important truck safety provisions that will protect both truck drivers and motorists alike.
Truck Size and Weight
Bigger trucks mean bigger safety problems on our highways in terms of increased deaths and injuries and significant damage to our roads and bridges which threaten all motorists. Advocates continues to support the Safe Highways and Infrastructure Preservation Act (SHIPA), which would freeze truck size and lengths on the National Highway System, including the Interstate system. MAP-21 was passed with language requiring a comprehensive truck size and weight study to provide data on crash frequency and the impact of large trucks on safety and infrastructure, with a report to Congress in two years. The new law also directs a compilation and listing of existing state size and weight limits that exceed federal Interstate limits, with a report to Congress in two years. Advocates will continue to monitor and oppose any potential exemptions to federal truck size and weight regulations.
Electronic On-Board Recorders
MAP-21 also includes a provision which directs issuance of a rule within one year to require the use of electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) in all commercial motor vehicles operated in Interstate commerce by drivers subject to hours of service regulations. Advocates has pushed for the required use of EOBRs to enforce hours of service (HOS) rules for decades at the DOT and in Congress. This important safety tool has broad support from motorists, truck drivers, law enforcement, private sector employees, public health advocates, and crash victims.
EOBR Fact Sheet: Click here for a fact sheet on EOBRs.
Support for EOBRs from Advocates, American Trucking Associations, International Brotherhood of Teamsters - click here for a letter to Congress urging support for this important provision.
Other truck safety provisions in MAP-21 include:
- Tougher oversight for violations of motor carrier safety rules, such as reincarnated drivers and out-of-service orders
- Stronger registration requirements, including disclosure of common ownership or management, written proficiency examination for new entrant motor carriers, and safety fitness of new operators
- Requires a comprehensive analysis on the need for crash-worthiness standards for commercial motor vehicles
- Establishes a national clearinghouse for controlled substance and alcohol test results of commercial motor vehicle drivers
Ed Slattery speaks at Advocates' press conference on May 31st, 2012. Ed's wife Susan was killed and his two young sons seriously injured when a truck driver fell asleep behind the wheel of his triple-trailer truck and rear-ended their car. Please click here for his full remarks.

Audition Information
The University of Oregon choirs are open to university students from all majors. Auditions for University Singers, Repertoire Singers, and Chamber Choir will begin on Wednesday, September 25, and continue through the first three days of classes.
