Performances in Siem
Performances in Phnom Penh
has been a tradition since the earliest days of tourism in
the 19th century to treat visitors to Siem Reap with an
'Apsara dance performance' - a taste of classical
Khmer culture. No visit to Cambodia is complete without
attending at least one performance. Dinner performances are
now the most popular venue - most places offering buffet or
set menus combined with a one-hour dance performance. Dinner
ordinarily begins at 6:00 or 7:00PM and dance performances
at 7:30PM or 8:00PM, consisting of 4 or 5 dances (classical
and folk). Most dinner performances run $10-$35 including
dinner and admission. Some place do not charge admission for
the performance, but you are expected to order dinner. For
the best seats, call for reservations.
Traditional Khmer dance is better
described as 'dance-drama' it is not merely dance but also meant to
convey a story or message. There are four main modern genres of
traditional Khmer dance: 1) Classical Dance; 2) Shadow theater; 3)
Lakhon Khol (all-male masked dance-drama.); 4) Folk Dance.
As evidenced in part by the innumerable
apsaras (celestial dancers) adorning the walls of Angkorian temples,
traditional dance has been part of Khmer culture for well more than
a millennium. Yet there have been ruptures in the tradition over the
centuries, making it almost
impossible to precisely trace the source of the tradition. Though
much modern traditional dance was inspired by Angkorian-era art and
themes, the tradition has not been passed unbroken from the age of
Most traditional dances performed today were developed in the 18th
through 20th centuries, beginning in earnest with a mid-19th century
revival championed by King Ang Duong. Subsequent Kings and other
Khmer Royals also strongly supported the arts and dance, most
particularly Queen Sisowath Kossamak Nearireach (former King Norodom
Sihanouk's mother) in the mid-20th century, who not only fostered a
resurgence in the development of Khmer traditional dance, but also
helped move it out of the Palace and popularize it.
Many traditional dances including most Theatrical Folk Dances were
developed and refined from the 1940s-60s under the patronage of
Queen Kossamak at the Conservatory of Performing Arts and the Royal
University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Queen Kossamak trained her
granddaughter Princess Bopha Devi in traditional dance from early
childhood, and she went on to become the face of Khmer traditional
dance in the 1950s and 60s both in Cambodia and abroad. Like so much
of Cambodian art and culture, traditional dance was almost lost
under the brutal repression of the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970s,
only to be revived and reconstructed in the 1980s and 90s due, in
large part, to the extraordinary efforts of Princess Bopha Devi.
dance, including the famous 'Apsara dance,' has a
grounded, subtle, restrained, yet feather-light, ethereal
appearance. Distinct in its ornate costuming, taut posture, arched
back and feet, flexed fingers flexed, codified facial expressions,
slow, close, deliberate but flowing movements, Classical dance is
uniquely Khmer. It presents themes and stories inspired primarily by
the Reamker (the Cambodian version of the Indian classic, the
Ramayana) and by the Age of Angkor.
Folk Dance
come in two forms: ceremonial and theatrical. As a general rule,
only Theatrical Folk Dance is presented in public performances, with
Ceremonial Folk Dances reserved for particular rituals, celebrations
and holidays. Theatrical Folk Dances such as the popular Good
Harvest Dance and the romantic Fishing Dance are usually adaptations
of dances found in the countryside or inspired by rural life and
practices. Most of the Theatrical Folk Dances were developed at RUFA
in Phnom Penh in the 1960s as part of an effort to preserve and
perpetuate Khmer culture and arts.
Shadow theatre
comes in two forms: Sbeik Thom (big puppets that
are actually panels depicting
certain characters from the story) and Sbeik Toot (small
puppets). The black leather puppets are held in front of a light
source, either in front or behind a screen, creating a shadow or
silhouette effect. Sbeik Thom is the more uniquely Cambodian,
more formal of the two types, restricting itself to stories from the
Reamker. The performance is accompanied by a pin peat orchestra and
narration, and the puppeteers are silent, moving the panels with
dance-like movements. Sbeik Toot has a far lighter feel,
presenting popular stories of heroes, adventures, love and battles,
with or without orchestra and with the puppeteers often doing the
Most dance performances in Siem Reap offer a mixture of Classical
and Theatrical Folk dances. A few venues offer Shadow Theater. Many
of the dance performances in Siem Reap consist of 4-6 individual
dances, often opening with an Apsara Dance, followed by two other
Classical dances and two or three Theatrical Folk dances.
Apsara Dance
is a Classical dance inspired by the apsara carvings and sculptures
of Angkor and developed in the late 1940s by Queen Sisowath Kossamak.
Her grand daughter and
Princess Bopha Devi, was the first star of the Apsara Dance.
The central character of the dance, the
apsara Mera, leads her coterie of apsaras through a flower garden
where they partake of the beauty of the garden. The movements of the
dance are distinctly Classical yet, as the dance was developed for
theatrical presentation, it is shorter and a bit more relaxed and
flowing than most Classical dances, making it both an excellent
example of the movements, manner and spirit of Classical dance and
at the same time particularly accessible to a modern audience
unaccustomed to the style and stories of Khmer dance-drama.
Another extremely popular dance included in most traditional dance
performances in Siem Reap is the Theatrical Folk Dance known as the
'Fishing Dance.'
The Fishing Dance is a playful, energetic folk dance with a
strong, easy-to-follow story line.
was developed in the 1960s at the Royal University of Fine Arts
in Phnom Penh and was inspired by the developer's interpretation of
idealized and stereotyped aspects aspects of rural life and young
The dance begins...Clad in rural attire,
a group of young men and women fish with rattan baskets and scoops,
dividing their attention between work and flirtatious glances. Women
are portrayed as hardworking, shy, demurring and coy, whereas the
young men are strong, unrestrained, roguish and assertive. As the
dance continues a couple is separated from the group allowing the
flirtations between them to intensify, only to be spoiled by the
male character playing a bit too rough, leading to her coy
rejection. He pokes and plays trying to win her back, bringing only
further rejection. Eventually he gently apologizes on bended knee
and after some effort, draws a smile and her attention once again.
Just as they move together, the group returns, startling the couple
and evoking embarrassment as they both rush to their 'proper' roles
once again.
men and women exit at opposite sides of the stage, leaving the
couple almost alone, but under pressure of the groups, they
separate, leaving in opposite directions, yet with index finger
placed to mouth, hint of a secret promise to meet again.
(In an interesting side note, placing
one's index finger to the lips to denote quiet or secrecy is not,
generally speaking, a gesture found in Cambodia, but is common in
the West. Its employment in the dance probably indicates a certain
amount of 'foreign influence' amongst the Cambodian choreographers
when the dance was developed in the 1960s.

Pirate ship sails into Wookey Hole Caves crazy golf row
Posted: February 13, 2009|
A pirate ship has flown into a storm at Wookey Hole Caves as buccaneering owner Gerry Cottle defies villagers to build a controversial adventure golf course.
Locals are furious the former circus boss has turned the Victorian bowling green next to the caves into a crazy golf course without first obtaining planning permission.
Caves bosses took advice and believed they did not need planning approval but have agreed to submit a retrospective application at the request of Mendip district council.
If that application is not approved Mr Cottle could be forced to turn the attraction back to a simple green. The council has warned that he continues the work at his own risk.
But Mr Cottle is confident the work is a reasonable use of the land and donned the costume of a pirate king, complete with parrot and pistol in his belt to welcome the giant wooden pirate ship which completes the crazy course.
He said: "I think the golf course is very nice and I wish everybody luck who plays on it. We are naming the ship Pirate Ship Carol after one of those who has complained.
"There is a dirty dozen of them and I have no respect for them. They complain about everything we do. I was 30 years in my last place and have been all over the world and not come across this sort of attitude.
"The bowling green was very nice – like a Beryl Cook painting coming to life when people were playing – but I felt it was a bit elitist. We need to survive and extra attractions for families such as this are part of that."
The vessel had to be craned into the former bowling green, which is surrounded by listed buildings, including a former paper mill.
Residents, who support the internationally-renowned caves for the jobs it provides, say the golf course is a step too far, and will disrupt the peace and quiet of village life. Some cottages are just a stone throw away on the opposite side of the road.
They were infuriated that Mr Cottle gave the local bowling club notice to quit the site last year.
Now concrete has been laid, along with artificial turf, to turn the land into an all-weather attraction that is due to open today in time for school half term holidays.
Villagers are urging everyone who has a view on the development to write to the council. They want the issue to be decided by an area board meeting of councillors, and not delegated to a planning officer.
Daniel Medley manager of the caves says the new golf course could employ an extra nine people and bring more visitors into the area.
He said: "The mill started off as a cotton mill in 1610, and ever since it has evolved. It became a paper mill, and then the paper mill itself became a tourist attraction, and the site is still a tourist attraction. Where the bowling green was used to be an industrial area for the mill where carts and horses passed through.
"The public doesn't want bowling now. Families want crazy golf."

ATHENS, Ga.--The Georgia women's tennis team advanced to the second round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, beating Winthrop 4-0 Saturday afternoon at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
The Bulldogs (22-3) will square off with Arizona State (17-5) in the second round Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Georgia will be attempting to advance to its 12th round of 16 since the tournament moved to its current format in 1999.
"I think Winthrop is a great team and we played really well today," said head coach Jeff Wallace. "Doubles was tough, except for court 1. [Kate Fuller and Silvia Garcia] did a really great job today--they've played so great all year. Court two and three were some good matches and we had to fight back to get the doubles point. I think we played high level singles all the way through so it was a great first-round match for us."
Georgia won its 23rd doubles point of the year, and got three quick wins in singles to win advance to the second round and improve to 23-0 in 1st and 2nd round matches held in Athens.
In doubles, the country's top-ranked tandem of Kate Fuller and Silvia Garcia gave Georgia an early advantage in doubles with an 8-1 win over Winthrop's Caitlin Cridland and Ekin Gunaysu. The pair is now 22-2 this year. Lauren Herring and Maho Kowase, ranked 52nd in the country, clinched point for Georgia with an 8-3 win over the Eagles' Alice Garcia and Giovanna Portiolli. The Georgia duo trailed 0-3, but won the final eight games to pick up their fourth doubles point clinch of the season.
Mia King and Ayaka Okuno led 6-5 when their match was suspended.
In singles, Kowase gave Georgia a 2-0 lead with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Winthrop's Andressa Garcia. Kowase leads Georgia with a 36-8 mark this year. Later, the Bulldogs took a 3-0 lead when Fuller topped Winthrop's Portiolli 6-0, 6-2. Just seconds later, Okuno beat the Eagles' Caitlin Cridland, 6-1, 6-2. It's the second match that the she has clinched this season.
Sixth-ranked Herring, 104th-ranked Garcia and King all led their matches when their matches were suspended.
"I think we were a little too excited at the beginning, but we handled it really well," Kowase said. We had a really great to start to the singles and I'm proud of everyone."
Georgia improves to 4-0 all-time against Winthrop, including 2-0 in the NCAA Tournament. Winthrop ends its season at 18-10

ATHENS----The Georgia football team continued preseason camp Tuesday afternoon as the Bulldogs practiced in full pads for the first time.
Tuesday's session was the fifth practice for the 2014 Bulldogs.
"They did alright," head coach Mark Richt said. "As many reps as we had in practice there were some you are really excited about and some you shake your head. We have potential, but we don't quite have consistency yet."
The Bulldogs will conduct their first two-a-day practice on Wednesday. Georgia is slated to have its first scrimmage Saturday afternoon.
Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo met with the media prior to Tuesday's practice and said the Bulldogs will focus on installing most of the offense leading up to Saturday's scrimmage.
"We're trying to install 90 percent of the offense and basically throw everything at them," Bobo said. "We want to see what sticks and and see what we are going to be and who we are going to be. We'll sit down and decide who is going to be where and who has a chance to play, but right now we are letting them learn."
The No. 12 Bulldogs open their 2014 schedule Aug. 30 when they play host to 16th-ranked Clemson at 5:30 p.m. The contest will be televised by ESPN.
The annual Fans' Picture Day will be held Saturday, Aug. 16, in the Reed Plaza area of Sanford Stadium and will feature Richt, football players, cheerleaders, other UGA athletic teams along with mascot, Uga IX.
Special ticket coupons are required for access to the location for Uga IX and Richt. Those tickets will be distributed to the first 150 fans at 10:00 a.m. from the East End ticket windows on East Campus Road.
Gates will open at 2 p.m., on Picture Day, and the Georgia cheerleaders, Dance Dawgs and Hairy Dawg will be available from 2-6 p.m. Uga IX and other University of Georgia sports teams will be available from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Ticket holders to see Uga IX must be in line by 2:30 p.m. Georgia football players will be on hand for autographs from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Richt will also be available from 4-6 p.m. for those with ticket coupons. Ticket holders to see Richt must be in line by 4:30 p.m.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) – Walking down windy Robindale Road in Old Bon Air, fresh off his late night shift at Denny's, a man who asked CBS 6 to hide his identity was robbed at gunpoint, just 100 feet from his front door.
"I'm just a cook," the victim said. "I was walking my normal route. The car stops, two guys get out and demand money. They put a gun in my face. It was pretty fast. Then they drove off."
The two men put the Denny's cook face down on the pavement and pistol whipped him. A third suspect never got out of the car, according to a police report. All three men drove away.
"I never saw it coming," the victim said.
The robbers took the victim's phone and $9.
"I've never really encountered any violence or shady characters here," neighbor Laura Bodeman said. "It's surprising."
So surprised, Bodeman said she double-checked her doors Tuesday night before she went to bed.
"I made sure it was locked. The windows, too," she said. "Something this close, you know, it scares you."
The victim said he didn't know the men and the attack was random.
"I'm kind of stressed about walking home late at night especially until I get my new phone," he said.

Inventory Based e-Commerce Needs FDI for Growth: IAMAI-KPMG ReportTue, 10 Sep 2013 - Iamai
New Delhi, September 10, 2013: An IAMAI-KPMG report, "e-Commerce: Rhetoric, Reality and Opportunity", released today has recommended that inventory-based e-commerce be opened to foreign direct investment [FDI]. It may be recalled that FDI in this format of e-retail is currently not allowed per two Press Notes issued in 2010 and 2012. The report has suggested that disallowing FDI in this form of e-commerce is a curious policy not followed by many countries including US, China, Australia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
The report has established a direct co-relation between internet users, online buyers, value of e-commerce and openness to FDI in inventory based e-commerce. The report found that India was the only one among a list of developed and developing economies that did not allow FDI in inventory based e-commerce. The result of this policy may have a direct bearing on a) slowdown in the growth of internet users; b) proportionately low online buyers; and c) shrinking of the e-commerce business.
In the US, there are 245 million internet users and 156 million online buyers, while China has 538 million internet users with 270 million online buyers. Closer home, Sri Lanka, with 3.2 million internet users, has 2 million online buyers and Australia, which is a similar economy to India, has 20 million internet users with 11 million online buyers. Unfortunately, India, which is the 3rd largest in the world with 137 million internet users, has mere 25 million online buyers. It is evident that internet usage will grow much slower than expected if we do not increase online buyers.
Further, the report finds that online buyers and the size of consumer e-commerce industry are high in countries where FDI in inventory based e-commerce business is allowed. In the US, the size of the consumer e-commerce industry is US$224 billion, while in China, it is US$210 billion. In Sri Lanka, it is US$2 billion, while the size of the consumer e-commerce industry in Australia is US$30 billion. In India, with 25 million online buyers, the size of the industry is a mere US$13 billion. This co-relation is clear from the chart below as collated in the report.
Commenting on the findings, Dr. Subho Ray, President, IAMAI, said "On a larger canvas, we believe that inventory based e-commerce needs deep and sustained investments on technology and other back end operations, marketing and brand building areas where domestic investment is not forthcoming. Opening up of inventory based e-commerce would also take care of the current anomaly where FDI in multi-brand retail is allowed up to 51% whereas it is not allowed on inventory based e-commerce business."
The report also makes other important recommendations such as more investments in innovation and customer servicing on part of the industry. According to the report, several issues exist on the demand side, supply side and government and regulatory side that need to be addressed to ensure rapid progress of e-Commerce industry in India. The relevant stakeholders would need to focus on some key solution areas to positively impact the e-Commerce industry and to put it on a transformational growth trajectory. These key solution focus areas have been identified as: a) Developing and building human capital; b) Adopting effective business practices; c) Strengthening the technology backbone; and d) Building a favorable yet controlled regulatory environment.

Last week I read Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize winning Gilead on the recommendation of a friend. Gilead is a small town in western Iowa, just over the border from Kansas. (In reality, of course, Iowa does not share a border with Kansas, but this geographical fiction is no less plausible than Gilead itself.) Not a conventional novel with a clear plotline and an obvious ending, it instead takes the form of a journal kept by a dying minister of the gospel written for his 7-year-old son whom he will not live to see grow up.
The Rev. John Ames is the third generation of men by that name to have pastored the local Congregational church. Born two decades before the end of the 19th century, he is married briefly in the first years of the 20th. Alas his first wife dies in childbirth, as does the infant daughter. Only when he is in his 60s does he remarry a woman much younger than he and, as he approaches his three-score-years-and-ten, experience the unexpected grace of fatherhood once again.
The beauty of the book lies not in its plot, but in the portrayal of its characters. Robinson flawlessly assumes the voice of an elderly man, persuading the reader that, among other things, the writer really did accompany his father on a journey to Kansas in 1892 to find his grandfather's grave. The most complex character is his namesake, John Ames "Jack" Boughton, the son of his lifelong friend, "old Boughton." Having disgraced the family in his youth and moved away from Gilead, he has now returned to town 20 years later, with unknown motives. Ames fears Jack's influence on his wife and son after he has passed on. Much of the latter part of the book finds him preoccupied with Jack's sudden and unnerving presence in his family's life and his interior struggle over whether he should warn his wife about him.
Oddly enough, however, Ames' second wife, Lila, along with the other women in the book, is not as vivid a character as one would expect from a husband's diary. It may not be fair to call her one-dimensional, yet we know little of her motives and what makes her tick. That's the one thing that does not ring true in an otherwise compelling narrative. On the other hand, given that it is written for his son, who when he reads it will already have known his own mother, Ames might well deem it unnecessary to delve too deeply into her character for his benefit.
There is much to love in this book.
First, although I have never lived in a small town, I was taken with the setting and the relationships nurtured by it. Imagine living in one place one's whole life and enjoying the proximity of lifelong friendships. In a mobile society friendships are generally cultivated for a time and then have to be maintained in attenuated form over a distance as someone moves away. (I have never entirely reconciled myself to this fact of contemporary life.) But Ames and old Boughton — best friends from childhood — grow old together and seemingly face death at nearly the same moment.
Second, I was moved by the father-son relationships portrayed. With remarkable insight, Robinson accurately depicts the love and loyalty, as well as the tensions and conflict, between the generations of a family. Again this rings true.
Finally, Robinson perceptively explores the unfathomable mystery of divine election in the lives of her characters, especially the wayward Jack and Ames' disbelieving brother Edward. Why does God's grace seem to bypass those who, try as they might, cannot bring themselves to believe? Why do others, such as Lila, come to the faith in so ordinary a fashion after sitting through successive weeks of less-than-riveting sermons? The author asks and considers these questions but wisely refrains from trying to answer them.
Robinson's last (and first) novel, Housekeeping, was written a quarter of a century ago. Let's hope she doesn't wait as long to publish a third.

Authority trades barbs over possible takeover
Rutherford County Airport Authority members got into a heated discussion over a possible takeover by the Rutherford County Commission during the Authority's regular July meeting Tuesday night.
Authority members Robert Ralph and Keith Hunter exchanged words after Ralph suggested the Authority vote in favor of a takeover.
"You (Ralph) have been trying to get rid of us for a long time and I am tired of hearing all the whining and the crap because of it," Hunter said.
The issue stems from House Bill 290, a local bill passed by the General Assembly during this session that allows the County Commission to serve as the Airport Authority at its discretion.
Conversation over a potential takeover gained steam after news regarding the purchase of land owned by Commission Chairman Julius Owens at nearly twice its appraised value by the Authority.
During their July meeting last week, commissioners asked Rutherford County Manager Carl Classen to gather information to determine what would happen if the county took over management of the airport.
Ralph asked for the item to be on Tuesday's agenda and gave his approval to the measure, if the county chose to dissolve the Authority.
"This is something I would like to see happen," Ralph said. "I would like to the county take it over."
That sparked an immediate rebuttal from Hunter.
"You don't want to go by the rules," Hunter said.
But Ralph countered that if the county were to take over the airport, "it would end talk about secondary agendas at work."
"You've had an agenda ever since you got here," Ralph said to Hunter.
"My agenda is to be honest," Hunter responded. "I can't be bought off."
Airport Authority Chairman Bob Howard said he received a letter from Classen asking for various information at the request of commissioners.
"If it happens, we are dust," Howard said. "If they take over, we are history. It is their prerogative and if they want to do it, they will do it.
"I have sent over the information and it will be up to the County Commission to do the job."
In other business, the Authority:
• examined a potential draft commercial lease agreement. Howard said the document will be turned over the Authority attorney Beth Miller for examination;
• reviewed the placement of two towers by private business. The Authority has to examine any new tower construction that may be in the path of the airport. The two towers discussed were on West Main Street in Forest City and Old U.S. 74 Highway southeast of Bostic;
• approved keeping Howard as chairman of the Authority and Hunter as vice-chair.

The role played by nurses is very critical. They not only help save the lives of patients but also complement the role of the doctors. They are mostly in touch with patients for a longer time than anyone else. But very few nurses are available these days due to a lot of reasons.
Like most of the other countries in the world, Canada also faces a shortage of nurses. The situation may get worse if Government does not step in and take some drastic measures.
But a lot of factors are responsible for this. It the times are good and the economy is doing will it will mean that most of the new nurses will be easily able to find jobs. But during a recession they may not be able to get jobs. Even if they manage to get jobs, it may not be full-time jobs.
Medical experts feel that even though nursing offers a great future in the long run, nursing graduates may have to settle for part-time jobs in major hospitals.
Canadian Nursing Association estimates that the country currently faces a shortage of 20,000 full-time nurses. This will reach 30,000 by 2016 and 50,000 by 2022 according to the current trends.
Experts feel that hiring nurses from abroad is not a viable solution. It is important to improve the compensation package and overall facilities for nurses. It is also important to generate more awareness about the important role played by nurses in the society.

Flockwork: Free App A Day's featured iPad app
Like we did back in 2010 with our game Pig Rush, ReignDesign has again teamed up with top app promotion site Free App A Day to offer our addictive iPad puzzle game Flockwork for free for today!
If you haven't had a chance to check out Flockwork yet, what are you waiting for? 😀
Flockwork 1.1 update out now
Our first update to Flockwork has been released to the App Store. It's just a minor one, but it fixes an issue we were having with the Game Center achievements, and some other minor tweaks.
We'll be releasing more levels in the future, so please keep the reviews and 5 star ratings coming!
Flockwork for iPad: now available on the iTunes App Store
After nearly one year, the day has finally arrived: our iPad puzzle game Flockwork is now live on the iTunes App Store!
In case you missed our previous posts mentioning Flockwork over the last few months, here's a brief synopsis:
In the game, you control lots of sheep, trying to get them to reach the target. The 'flock' moves together when you swipe your finger on the screen, so you have to keep an eye on each sheep so they don't escape or end up in harm's way!
The game starts off easy but gets tricky, with stars to collect, puzzles to solve and wolves to avoid. If you've played games like Angry Birds, Where's my Water or Cut the Rope, you'll instantly get the idea.
And here are a few screenshots (click to enlarge):
Check Flockwork out now on the App Store! And tell us what you think in the comments
Flockwork: iPad retina vs. non-retina comparison
Well, look at what showed up at the ReignDesign office today... the new retina iPad! We tried our best to be patient, but with no release date announced as of yet for a Mainland China launch, we just couldn't wait.
Adding iOS5 native Twitter support to your cocos2d app
In iOS5, Apple introduced native Twitter integration via the "Tweet Sheet" (aka TWTweetComposeViewController), allowing you to easily implement Twitter in your iOS app without worrying about all the heavy lifting. If you tried implementing Twitter support in the past and found yourself lost in a sea of OAuth source files, trying to handle authentication yourself, and banging your head over what to do with various responses, you'll know how much of a relief it is that this now "just works."
This is great for UIKit, but what if you want to implement the same simple Twitter sharing functionality in your cocos2d game? Luckily, it's nearly as easy!

Re: The tip jar
It depends on the venue down here in Texas. A lot of times bands have tips jars with the blinking light thing inside. A lot of times instead of announcing the tip jar, someone affiliated with the band - a good looking woman - will walk it around and ask for donations.
This happened a few months ago, a really great blues band played a venue near us, excellent harp player was fronting the band. The door cover was $10 but it was worth it. About half way through the evening, a really nice looking lady, who was obviously attached to someone in the band, walked around the tip jar. She coordinated her efforts during a particularly long harp solo, so it was done "in good taste." During breaks the band made sure someone from the band went around to all the tables and personally thanked the patrons for coming out. Classy move.
I don't aim to be the best, just the best looking.

The state's two largest teachers unions will formally discuss a merger after the Wisconsin Education Association Council voted to do so at a special assembly in Madison over the weekend.
The WEAC Representative Assembly met Saturday at the Alliant Energy Center for the first time in special session since 1972 to discuss the future of the organization.
Leaders of both WEAC, an affiliate of the National Education Association, and AFT-Wisconsin, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, say their membership has declined about 30 percent since the state's new collective bargaining law, known as Act 10, took effect.

What is Your Powerful Story?
I never met a person who didn't have a fascinating story. It's true of every business, too.
You may be hiding your story behind industry jargon. Maybe you are so intent on communicating what is so great about your product, you forget to share why you care so much.
And if you do, I can bet you are failing to connect directly with what is most important to your customers.
It can take some digging to find the compelling story that will sell your big idea, your service, your product.
Curiosity leads me to ask lots of questions when I meet someone new, because I'm genuinely interested. Experience informs how I formulate my questions. As a copywriter, marketing consultant and business development coach, I'll pick the best strategies to get those words out of your head and onto the page… virtual or otherwise.
Sell Your Customers on the Benefit of Your Products & Services
Together we can find the perfect words to communicate your passion to the world.
- Do you need someone behind the scenes crafting copy to sell your products & services with effective landing and sales pages?
- Do you wonder if your website is even working? Do you visitors do what you wan them to do?
- Would you like to build your customer relationships through well-written autoresponders, newsletters and email marketing campaigns?
- Would you like someone to run with your ideas for case studies, white papers, special reports, eCourses and training programs, and make them a reality now instead of months from now?
- Are you starting or growing a business and need to develop your marketing messages, tag line, or unique selling proposition?
- Do you need a comprehensive strategic communications or marketing plan to guide your staff efforts?

Wheels at the Lake benefits area food pantries
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
By Dianne Byers
Staff Writer
CURWENSVILLE - The beautiful scenery at Curwensville Lake Recreation Area will be accentuated by vast amounts of chrome and horsepower this weekend, both features of the annual Wheels at the Lake festival.
This is the fourth year for the celebration of vehicles organized by the Chinklacamoose Chapter of the Alliance of Bikers Aimed Toward Education and the Shekinah Glory Riders, Clearfield county-based motorcycle organizations. Proceeds raised through the event will benefit the Clearfield and Curwensville food pantries.
Robin Clark, manager of the pantries, said the donations of food and funds collected Saturday and Sunday will help them continue to serve local residents. Clark said the pantries have had funding cut in past years while clientele at both has continued to increase. She said Wheels at the Lake donations can help to keep residents from going without food. She said she hoped those who can give would be generous as has been the case in prior years. "Last year we were able to purchase meat for the Christmas baskets through the financial donations raised at Wheels at the Lake," she said.
Admission to the event is a non-perishable food item per person. Registration fees for various activities and any donations received will also be donated to the food pantries. A $2 per vehicle entrance fee is also charged by Curwensville Lake Authority as admission to the Curwensville Lake Recreation Area to help defray the lake's expenses.
Diane Shaw of ABATE said Wheels at the Lake offers something for the entire family including children's activities, an ice cream run, motorcycle and classic car shows, worship, music and a motorcycle rodeo combined with the many outdoor recreation opportunities found at the lake including swimming, boating and fishing.
Saturday's activities include a dice run. Registration for the run is open from 10 a.m. to noon. The entry fee is $10 per person. The run begins at the lake at noon and ends no later than 6 p.m. at the Dam Inn on state Route 453 near the entrance to Curwensville Lake. There will be cash prizes, raffles, door prizes, food and music available at the conclusion of the run.
A tourist ice cream run will begin at 1 p.m. Registration is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. According to Mike Ferrance of the Shekinah Glory Riders, there is no charge to participate in the approximately two-hour tour that will visit some of Clearfield County's scenic spots and includes a stop for ice cream.
The third annual classic car at the lake show begins at noon. Registration is from 9 a.m. to noon. A $5 entry fee per vehicle will be charged. Three trophies will be awarded in each of 12 classes as well as the Glenn Stephenson Memorial Award, sponsored by the Dam Inn, given to the vehicle that is judged to be the best of the show.
The classes are class one, stock cars and trucks through 1942; class two, stock cars and trucks, 1943-55; class three, stock cars 1956-63; class four, stock cars, 1964-71; class five, stock cars 1972-90; class six, all two-seat sports cars; class seven, stock trucks 1947-75; class eight, all modified trucks both four-wheel and two-wheel drives; class nine, street rods through 1948; class 10, all modified cars 1949 to present; class 11, all tuner cars 1989 to present; and class 12, all special interest vehicles.
Disc jockey Joey Bang will provide music from noon to 4 p.m. There will be concession stands open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and children's activities including a coloring contest, games and a jumping castle beginning at noon.
Blessings of motorcycles and bicycles will be given upon request both Saturday and Sunday and there will also be a continuous presentation about the Operation Save a Life program both days.
Sunday's activities open with a non-denominational church service beginning at 10 a.m. at pavilion No. 4 sponsored by the Shekinah Glory Riders. Music will be provided by Rich Woods. The message will be "Awful to Lawful" centered on a story from the Bible's Old Testament and God's redemptive grace.
A motorcycle show begins at 1 p.m. Registration is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The categories include class one, rat; class two, antique; class three, American dresser; class four, foreign dresser; class five, foreign stock; class six, American stock; class seven, radical custom; class eight, modified custom; class nine, regular custom; class 10, trike; and class 11, scooter. A best of show award will also be presented.
A bike rodeo will begin at 3 p.m. There will be single and partner games of skill. Those participating must be age 18 or older.
Music will be provided from 6-9 p.m. by Reckless Endangerment.
For information about Wheels at the Lake or any of its activities, contact Dave Evans, ABATE president, at 765-9846.

Chart-topping app set to spread its wings.
iPhone phenomenon Angry Birds is set to fly on to the Sony PlayStation 3, PSP and Nintendo DS consoles according to the developers responsible for the massive gaming hit.
The game, which costs 59p to download for the iPhone and £4.99 for the iPad, involves using a catapult to fire winged creatures with anger issues, smashing them through a host of tricky targets to annihilate what's inside them.

The addictive title has been downloaded over 5 milliion times and has made developers Rovio about £2m. Now the team is looking to take on the consoles with planned versions scheduled for three formats.
"We're also releasing it on the Playstation 3, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP," says Rovio co-founder Joe Wee, which we're assuming would mean a digital download to the PlayStation Network in the PS3's case.
"When it was released last December Angry Birds made a slow start but as word got round, everyone's gone crazy for it," he added. "You hear the phrase 'just one more go' used a lot in video games but it definitely applies to Angry Birds."

So here was the trip, me hubby our 2 yo and 5 yo and 17 yo cousin who we took for her High School graduation. At first I was not sure how we would do with a teenager and 2 little ones. But thanks to fast pass everyone had a good time.
Wednesday got to the park and skipped down main street. The cute outfits were made by their Auntie who is Fairygoodmother.
On Thursday the little one wanted to ride It's a Small World. And yes the teenager is on her cell phone in the ride.
OK she was just calling her Mom so that she could hear her favorite ride.
Yes those are more cute outfits that Auntie made. Since they were Alice outfits we had to head over and take a picture in front of the White Rabbit's house.
And then a quick ride on Casey Jr.
We headed over to Tomorrowland Terrace for lunch. The Jedi Training Academy was going on while we ate. I thought it was a cool show. They keep it moving at a nice pace, have cool music and special effects. What a cool memory for those kids. We then saw PUSH after lunch and the girls thought he was cute.
On Friday we headed over to Toontown. These would be the only outfits on the trip that Auntie did not make.
The girls had a good time playing at Goofy's Playhouse. It did not have much more than what you would find at a Mall play area. But, they had a good time.
Here was a cute random pumkin in Toontown.
OK time for a quick break and I will be back with part 2.

DURHAM, N.H.- Sophomore linebacker Matt Evans (Hanover, Mass.) recorded a career-high 20 tackles, and the eighth-ranked University of New Hampshire football team held No. 4 William & Mary to only 171 yards of total offense, but the Tribe snapped the Wildcats' school-record 12-game home winning streak with a 13-3 victory Saturday afternoon at Cowell Stadium.
William & Mary improved to 7-2 overall and remained atop the Colonial Athletic Association with a 5-1 mark. UNH slipped to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the CAA.
Nine of Evans' 20 tackles were solo stops, giving him a CAA-leading 113 tackles on the season. Junior defensive end Brian McNally (Cornwall, N.Y.) matched a career high with 1.5 sacks, bringing his league-leading total to 7.0, and Hugo Souza (Marshfield, Mass.) made a season-high 14 tackles, eight solo, jumping three spots to sixth on UNH's all-time tackles' list with 309 career stops.
Senior quarterback R.J. Toman (Mission Viejo, Calif.) went 26 of 44 for 232 yards and an interception. The 44 attempts matched a career high, and Toman's 14 rushing yards on 13 carries, including three sacks, led a Wildcats' ground game that managed only 39 yards on 31 rushes. Senior wide receiver Terrance Fox (Piscataway, N.J.) made eight receptions for 70 yards –both game-highs- and his 126 all-purpose yards also set the pace.
The Wildcats were held to just three points for the first time since Sept. 21, 2002.
Tribe running back Jonathan Grimes rushed 30 times for 114 yards and a touchdown in the victory, offsetting an impotent W&M passing game that amassed only 30 yards with third-string quarterback Brent Caprio going 5-for-10 in his first career start.
After a scoreless first period, the Wildcats took a 3-0 lead on the first play of the second quarter, courtesy of a 40-yard field goal from freshman kicker Mike MacArthur (North Hampton, N.H.). A career-best 19-yard punt return from Souza put UNH in terrific field position at the Tribe's 39-yard line to begin the drive. Sean Jellison (Amherst, N.H./five carries, 12 yards/four receptions, 27 yards) carried twice for six yards, and Toman completed a four-yard pass to Fox and a two-yard pass to sophomore Dontra Peters (Annapolis, Md./10 carries, 11 yards/two catches, 11 yards), advancing inside the Tribe red zone for the only time in the contest.
William & Mary nabbed a 6-3 lead with 7:41 remaining in the first half when Caprio connected with wide receiver Chase Hill for a 19-yard touchdown pass in the far left corner of the end zone. It was Caprio's first career scoring toss and Hill's first touchdown reception of the season. The PAT failed.
The Wildcats threatened late in the half, moving the ball to the Tribe 21 with :29 to go when Toman's pass intended for Joey Orlando (Bethlehem, Pa.) in the end zone was picked off by safety Jake O'Connor, preserving the College's 3-0 lead at the intermission.
William & Mary capitalized on a muffed punt by Fox, which was recovered by Jabrel Mines at the UNH 35 with 2:00 left in the third quarter. Grimes then ran the ball three straight times, gaining nine yards, 25 yards and plunging in from one yard out for his eighth rushing touchdown of the season. Drake Kuhn atoned for his earlier miss by connecting on the extra point, staking the Tribe to a 13-3 lead with 1:04 left in the third quarter.
Neither team scored in the fourth period, as William & Mary defeated New Hampshire for the eighth time in a row. In fact, the Tribe's win was the first by a visiting team at Mooradian Field since William & Mary's 38-34 victory over UNH on Oct. 11, 2008.
UNH travels to play defending national champion Villanova next Saturday, Nov. 13, at 12 p.m. The Wildcats' regular-season home finale is slated for Saturday, Nov. 20, at 12 p.m. versus Towson University. The undefeated and untied 1950 UNH football team will be honored at Cowell Stadium on the 60th anniversary of its perfect season.

The Brazilian goalkeeper is desperate for regular first-team football ahead of the World Cup next summer.
Cesar is currently behind Robert Green in the pecking order at QPR. Cesar signed a four-year contract when he joined QPR in 2012, but he has recently been strongly linked with a move to Manchester City.
"We wouldn't stand in Julio's way and we aren't asking a fee for him," Redknapp said, quoted by the Fulham Chronicle.
"He needs to play and he could play anywhere for any team. He's just been unlucky.
"Rob's been fantastic and I can't take him out of the team.
"However, Julio's a great guy, and he needs to play soon, so he can play in the World Cup."

Demarquelle Tabb's layup and subsequent free throw with 12 seconds left propelled Alabama A&M to a 65-64 victory Saturday over Mississippi Valley State.
Davon Usher, the only MVSU player to score in double-figures, led the Delta Devils (3-17, 3-7 SWAC) with 18 points while Tabb paced the Bulldogs (8-13, 4-6 SWAC) with 16 points.
Usher's 3-pointer with 31 seconds left put Valley up 64-62, but Tabb's 3-point play on the next possession gave the Bulldogs the lead for good. MVSU had once last chance, but a turnover ended Valley's chances at sweeping A&M in the regular season. ...

I've swithched totally to Dove bar soaps for a year now (although every now and then I use a bar of Olay since a few of them are still lurking in my cabinet).
Dove soaps have work wonders to our winter dry skin: my husband's skin was so dry and itchy last winter that he had to use creams, then I suggested Dove and within a couple of weeks his skin was balanced and normal again.
I use it on my body and face, although I actually use Neutrogena cleanser before applying the soap. Overall, Dove bar soaps give my skin moisture and softness and I love the smell...I think I'll keep buying forever :)

I LOVE this soap! Every other soap I've used leaves a waxy film on my skin but dove rinses away clean, leaving my skin soft and smooth. I love bath creams and shower gels too but when it comes to soap dove cannot be beat. I don't use it on my face though, I only use face wash and cream cleansers.

I changed my mind about this bar on my face. I don think I like it much anymore. I've noticed that whenever I use this for a long period of time, I start to get clogged pores and whiteheads. I also notice my skin becoming a pool filled with oil, even if my skin is dry. It took me a while to put 2 and 2 together but glad I did.
I will continue to use this on my body though as it leaves my skin super soft.

this is my HG of bar soap. leaves my skin soft in the shower and removes all of my makeup also smells great! . however, i use a eye makeup remover before using this. so the soap removes the excess eye makeup.

Just confused why everyone keeps talking about this soap as a cleanser for the face? Def not meant for the face, only for those who have used it for years and are scared to try something better. I love it for my body though...and Caress.

I love Dove!! I have used it forever ! My doctor when I was younger HIGHLY recommended this product for me since I have such sensitive skin. The smells are lovely and it works wonders. If your going to use it on your face however I would get the sensitive skin bar because it contains no fragrance. I can't use any other soap except dove. It is by far the only bar soap that doesn't dry you out and leave your skin tight feeling.

This is serious HG material. It removes makeup (and sunblock!), cleanses skin, moisturizes lightly for body so it doesn't leave irritated and tight skin, smells delicious, and can be used for face and body-- which saves precious travel space and luggage weight! Inexpensive and widely available. Foams up nicely (a foam cleanser is still reassuring when you get down to it), and comes in a multitude of formulations and scents suitable for virtually all types. Plus, you can get little "sample" bars of the stuff in almost any travel-size section of any drugstore or big-box store. Keeps my skin smooth and soft when I use it. Doesn't perform miracles (and prevent global warming) or clear up my acne or breakouts or fade blemishes or even out skintone, but those are what moisturizers and other topicals are for. For a basic cleanser that you need in the shower or when you wake up, this is it. Simple and classic and... everywhere. I love the Dove beauty bar! If you haven't tried it already (I know there are reviewers that have had bad experiences with this), at most, you'll lose $1... and I bet you'll still end up loving it for your body. [Plus, the new cucumber scent is absolutely heavenly]

I really thought i would love this product as when i read reviews alot of pople had said how much they loved it. But i didn't. My face never felt properly clean and it dried my skin out, plus the packaging was awful and got wet and soggy immediatley.

Dear Residents of the Great City of New York:
Put down that third loaf of bread, five pounds of boars head salami, or extra two jugs of orange juice and take a second to think. There's a whole foot of snow on the way. Your car (if you have one) might be covered by snow. The roads will be icy and undriveable. Well, so what? This is New York City. There's a deli on every corner, a Starbucks or a Subway every twenty feet. And you don't need a car, because you walk everywhere. Or take underground trains to get from one place to another (yes, underground!). Seamless web doesn't stop in the snow! That foot of frozen water that might be wreaking havoc on the road doesn't mean anything to you. Strap on your boots and go clomp out your door. Maybe get into a snowball fight on the sidewalk, build an impromptu snowman, but you're not going to to be trapped for days upon days desperately salivating for the last meager scrap of food. This isn't Rochester! All that extra food you're buying - it's just going to go bad when you end up grabbing a slice of pizza after work. So do yourself a favor. Remember where you live, and put down the 27 yogurt containers. You won't need them.

Submission + - Windows users put at risk by patching treadmill->
daboochmeister writes: The Register notes what many of us have pointed out for some time, that Windows users are left vulnerable simply because there's no effective, practical approach to ensuring that ALL of the software on a Windows PC is updated with security patches. If only there were a, umm, canonical approach to keeping all software updated, some of us would be apt to get excited!
