Boy Scout Troop 894 will be holding a fundraising dinner.

Boy Scout Troop 894 will be holding a fundraising dinner.
On a sunny Friday morning, as the world watched the British welcome the latest addition to their royal family, Chicagoans from three north side wards bid adieu to royalty of their own.
Mayor Richard M. Daley, winding down his 22-year reign, continued his farewell tour of Chicago's neighborhoods, thanking the residents of the 32nd, 33rd and 47th Wards by dedicating the newly renovated Welles Park.
Students from several neighborhood elementary schools, including North Park and Queen of Angels, tried out the new playground equipment while the mayor, area business owners, and outgoing alderman Gene Schulter recapped the improvements made to the north side wards during the past two decades.
The mayor is proud of the upgrades made to the city's buildings, sidewalks and parks with regards to accessibility for people with disabilities, including the renovation of eighteen stations on the CTA's Brown Line.
Daley is especially pleased with the cultivation of the Chicago River for canoeing and other recreational activities. "Who would ever think twenty years ago that we would be talking about the great asset that is the Chicago River? Which it is!" he proudly exclaimed.
The environmentalist mayor also acknowledged the American Indian Center for their environmental programs, Oscar Mayer Magnet School's garden project, and the Lincoln Square Farmer's Market for bringing organic produce to the north side.
Daley praised the Household Chemical and Computer Recycling Facility, which not only offers proper disposal of hazardous substances, but provides employment opportunities for ex-offenders.
The mayor stressed the importance of reading to children and adults alike, touting the building of almost sixty new libraries in the city, and the renovation of the Sulzer Regional Branch. "If you take advantage of libraries we won't have to talk about another generation of children that we've lost," he declared.
"And of course, the Old Town School of Folk Music, what can you say about them?" asked Daley, a question which was answered with a round of applause. "Artists are people we should really respect," implored the mayor, because they "provide a better quality of life for all of us."
Bau Graves, Executive Director of the Old Town School, credited the mayor for encouraging the school to move into the long-vacant Hild Library building on Lincoln Avenue in 1998. "There was a question whether our small institution could fill the facility," Graves recalled. "But we are now the largest community music and arts school in the United States." The school has begun an expansion project that will more than double their capacity.
Other representatives of the small business community who thanked Daley for his hands-on involvement and assistance with bureaucratic red tape included Yolanda Luszcz, co-owner of Gene's Sausage Shop & Delicatessen, and Joel Nickson, Chef and Owner of Wishbone restaurant.
"We have been blessed with a mayor who has a passion for our neighborhoods," said Reverend Nicholas Zook, Pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Concordia Place, which offers preschool, child care and after-school programs, as well as exercise and wellness programs for seniors. He cited the mayor's attention to detail as a reason for Concordia's ability to expand their programs and provide services to more area residents.
Liz Griffiths, Director of Economic Development of the North River Commission promised to continue Mayor Daley's tradition of expanding the city's green spaces and public art. She looks to the May 19th ground breaking of the Sculpture Park & Healing Garden in Ronan Park on the river at Lawrence Avenue as the northwest side's answer to Millenium Park. "Our 'Bean' is a Cambodian goddess standing on a crocodile, which sits on a lotus flower," Griffiths declared, to the delight of those gathered.
Daley insists that the energy of this city is found in young people and immigrants.
He recounted a meeting with a Turkish immigrant who owns a textile plant on Belmont Avenue with 150 employees. "He said he has twenty-four ethnic groups in his plant. He said it's the best quality workforce that anybody can have," Daley recalled. "It's a specialized textile industry. They make drapes and everything else. And he ships them all over the world right from Chicago."
The mayor, who will pass the torch to Rahm Emanuel on May 16th, concluded his speech by expressing his gratitude to the people of his beloved hometown. "I thank you for the great honor of serving you for twenty-two years. I thank you for the commitment that all of you have made to our city, to our schools, to the environment, and yes, to the quality of life. God bless you and thank you."
Queen of Angels School has completed work on a new gym floor. The new wood floor replaces a tile and concrete floor that made the simplest fall painful.
"We are thrilled and proud of this floor," Nancy Baer said. Baer, who has been in charge of the Guild Hall for 38 years said the floating wood floor has more give and will be easier to maintain.
The hall has hosted bingo, political events, mass, weddings, dances, fundraisers and athletics over its rich history. Twenty-four volleyball teams and 20 basketball teams in the North Central Parish League are scheduled to start play in the Guild Hall in November.

Physical Education teacher Brian Duckman said, "It's just a safer environment for the students."
The Men's Club, which has a weekly workout "definitely noticed the difference on their knees," Duckman said.
The school's teams, which are called the Knights, invite the community to celebrate their new floor and cheer them on to victory.

Names: Agnes Foland, 38, and Michael Larson, 37
Location: in wooded area near Interstate 25 and Nevada Avenue in Colorado Springs
Agency: Colorado Springs Police Department
Date body found: July 1, 2002
Cause of DeathStabbed and mutilated
Suspect: None
Agnes Foland and Michael Larson had built a tent complex sheltered behind a wall of trees next to Interstate 25 and Nevada Avenue.
One tent had a table, cooking utensils, canned and boxed food collected from homeless shelters, and a seat removed from a car.
"It was an elaborate set-up," said Det. Richard Gysin of the Colorado Springs Police Department, who continues to investigate the cold case. "You just couldn't see them because of a thicket of trees."
The two homeless people lived in separate sleeping tents. They were partners in survival and drinking but not in romance, Gysin said.
Near a crowded, lower-income apartment complex in the heart of the city, someone slashed Foland and Larson one night in June 2002 without anyone nearby reporting they heard a scream, Gysin said. Both were stabbed multiple times and sexually mutilated.
In the years since the crime, the detective has not heard of any similar attacks in Colorado Springs or anywhere else in the country.
Foland and Larson were no newcomers to street life. They were savvy survivors who had for several years scrounged what they could from trash bins and alleys. The two often panhandled in nearby parks and lived close to several liquor stores and two soup kitchens, including the Red Cross shelter.
"They had some old chairs to sit around a campfire," Gysin said.
A couple of weeks before they were murdered, Gysin said, Kenneth Matrious, 52, a Native American also known as Robert Thunderbear, raped Foland, who was also Native American, and threatened to kill her if she told anyone.
Matrious was a suspect in the murders at first, but he had moved to Denver and had an alibi, Gysin said.
Matrious was later convicted of second-degree assault and sexual assault without consent in for raping Foland and was sentenced in July 2003 to five years in prison.
A few days before Foland and Larson were murdered, a Colorado Springs police officer warned the two that they were living on private property and had to vacate.
That same officer returned to make sure the homeless people had left and discovered their bodies. It was a few days after they were killed, Gysin said.
"Some of the assaulta on them could be interpreted as sexual mutilation," he said.
Two theories could explain why they were killed so violently: jealously or the work of a serial killer, Gysin said.
"It could point to a serial killer-type fetish murder," he said. "The mutilation is the signature."
Not only was the sexual mutilation of a male and female unique, but the killer was able to control two people at the same time without anyone in the heavily populated area of town hearing a scream.
It is possible that the two, who had been drinking, may have been passed out when they were attacked. That would explain why they didn't fight back or try to flee, he said.
Gysin had the facts of the case fed into the FBI's national crime database but no similar acts have ever been reported locally or around the country, Gysin said.
The ferocity of the crime also suggests the killer had a personal reason to kill, he said. He could have been angry the two were living together and was jealous, he said.
Gysin and other Colorado Springs police officers and detectives interviewed hundreds of people who knew the two well-known homeless people.
Gysin said in all likelihood, the killer will be drunk one night beside another campfire and tell someone about the two Colorado Springs people he killed. Hopefully, whoever hears the tale will tell a police officer, he said.
Contact information:
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Det. Richard Gysin of the Colorado Springs Police Department at 719-. Denver Post reporter Kirk Mitchell can be reached at 303-954-1206 or email@example.com

Scott Horton Interviews Mikey Weinstein
Mikey Weinstein, author of With God on Our Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup in America's Military, discusses the "fundamentalist Christian parachurch military corporate proselytizing complex" that Eisenhower never warned about, the "American Taliban" Christian dominionists within the military who want to replace the Constitution with religious edicts, the danger of a military indoctrinated in end-times theology and equipped with a vast arsenal of nuclear weapons and why Armageddon is not a viable exit strategy for Afghanistan.
MP3 here. (20:32)
Mikey Weinstein is the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. He was described by Harper's magazine as the constitutional conscience of the U.S. military, a man determined to force accountability. Mikey's family has a long and distinguished U.S. military history spanning three consecutive generations of military academy graduates and over 130 years of combined active duty military service in every major combat engagement our country has been in from World War I to the current Global War on Terror.
Mikey is a 1977 Honor Graduate of the United States Air Force Academy. Mikey has been married for over 32 years to his wife, Bonnie. He is the proud parent of two sons and one daughter. His oldest son and daughter-in-law are 2004 Graduates, and Mikey's youngest son graduated in the Class of 2007 from the Air Force Academy and is the sixth member of Mikey's family to attend the Academy. His father is a distinguished graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Mikey spent 10 years in the Air force as a "JAG" or military attorney serving as both a Federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney.

Every tribe has it's own rites and rituals and the military besides being a Federal work program with WMD's is a tribe. The foot soldiers worship Jesus, but the top leadership bow to Leo Strauss.
These people are not Christians. Christians worship Jesus Christ – not the U.S. government, not the Founding Fathers, and not the military. People who can't figure out the First Commandment – "Thou shalt not have any other God before me" – can by no means qualify as Christians.
"Mikey has been married for over 32 years to his wife…"
Is that anything like having a brother or a sister that is a sibling?
So when the Air Force lost control of those nukes a few years ago, what was that about?
The British are considering combining the RAF with the Navy and Army.
So why do the Europeans and Japan tolerate the US? End NATO!
According to WBAI(Pacifica) 'Weaponry Program' host Tom Wisker the US air force is ineffective (to be kind) in their role in the Afghan war. Maybe you should interview him about it. http://bobrowen.com/nymas/
BTW, any bets of if the most prominent air force project F-35 actually works?
Air power has not been working very effectively and all over the world since World War !.
But what a gloriously lunatic application of the Capitalist need for antiproduction.
It is also the miliatry version of the styling revolution that destroyed the American auto industry, intensified by American little boys with their plastic models fantasizing about speed and power and too repressed to find an aesthetic in the curves of the classic feminine nude or in the blatantly winged phallus of the ancients.
The whole US militaryu pilot mythos, a la Top Gun, including its sexual aspect, has escaped deeper analysis.
Interesting enough there is a blatant tension with "The Right Stuff", and it is no surprise that the Russians, despite all their economic troubles, still lead humanity into outer space, as they were also the first to do, with Sputnik and the cosmonauts under the Soviets.
Excellent Comment,
"but the top leadership bow to Leo Strauss."
Nonsense. They worship the Devil (in hopes of profit and power, all the kingdoms of the world), but call him Jesus.
'Air power has not been working very effectively and all over the world since World War ! ' (sic) Really? I'll assume that you are referring to that latter of the two global conflicts, so I won't point out the obvious advantages that air superiority gave the various belligerents during WW2–but having you been paying attention to current events? The Kosovo and Bosnian air campaigns by the USAF during the 90's put lie to your assertion; in fact, the Kosovo bombing campaign that pummeled Serbian infrastucture and Serbian military targets is THE singular example of the US going to war–yes, I know it was undeclared, but war it was–and reaching its military and political objectives without committing ground forces. Need I mention that US and UK air power was instrumental in reducing Sadddam Hussein's soveriegnty to the Mayoralty of Baghdad circa 1992-2003? As to to your Pseudo-intellectual, Quasi-Freudian analysis of warplanes, may I remind you that in aerodynamics, form follows function. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
nick turse's complex, don't forget to account for the sexual anarchism wing of that complex
Then explain to me -if you can- how can such people swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America while putting their "religion" ahead of it … maybe they should "figure out" the First AMENDMENT to that document … mind you, I have no qualms about anyone's religious belief or lack or absence of belief, irrespective of my own. Just keep it where it belongs … within the individual, his/her church, synagogue, mosque, or circle, or their family … and out of my face and that of others who have no interest. FYI:" 95+% of Mikey/s Military Religious Freedom Foundation "clients" are Christians who honor the first amendment and resent the rabid evangelical proselytizing !
Just somewhat redundant … like being a little bit pregnant ! … (;oD
could someone explain exactly what these ignoramuses, lesterness, hebo, eve, & good luck, don't understand about comments pertinent to the subject !
One of my favorite movies is "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964), that black comedy about nuclear war. Two of its main characters, Generals Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott), are rabid right-wingers and anti-Communists. Today, as Mike Weinstein and his boys at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation remind us, there's another kind of zealotry that's taken hold in the military–religious, that is. And it's just as dangerous.
If you wear the uniform, your first obligation is to the Constitution. Keep that in mind, will you? And that goes for you, General Petraeus, you four-star political hack.
What did Jesus have to do with the 10 commandments exacty? Weren't those just some page in a book in a culture he happened to have been born into?
i wonder what it was?
"The Kosovo and Bosnian air campaigns by the USAF during the 90's put lie to your assertion"
If the war happened today a resurgent Russia would supply the Serbs with top shelf AA. As the Serbs were able to shoot down a few stealth aircraft with obsolete technology my guess is the air force would be forced to relent as they did during the Christmas bombing of Hanoi.
Actually if the Serbs folded their hand immediately, they might be resurgent today, who knows?
"US and UK air power was instrumental in reducing Sadddam Hussein"
The US was able to impose sanctions due to the US's domination of the world economy, and that all surrounding nations, most notably Iran cooperated for their own reasons. If it happened today it is likely that China would break the embargo, as is the case with Iran.
"may I remind you that in aerodynamics, form follows function"
The air force chose the X-35 over the X-32 as the Joint Strike Fighter mostly due to aesthetic reasons. My guess is the US and the JSF would all be better off if they went with Boeing. Chosing Boeing would have upset the European partners though.
Yes, the Serbs scored a Stealth with Radio Shack technology, obsoleting a trillion dollar boondoggle at least.
Nor was the Yugoslav Army ever really touched.
It was a war on infrastructure and civilians from five thousand feet.
Even a few Spanish pilots began to bridle at the incompetence and cowardice of it all.
The only advantage that accrued to air power during World War II was close tactical support of infantry and armor. The US innovated here by putting troops on the ground in direct radio contact with overhead planes. The Russians developed the innovation into a new and very sophisticated tactic.
The US' own post World War II report on strategic bombing (Galbraith was on the study) concluded strategic air power had accomplished very little.
German industrial production hardly miss a beat and in fact increased despite the bombing.
On the other hand, you fly boys fancy your Dresdens, don't you?
Pardon for confusing you with facts. The high altitude destroys brains cells after a while, unless like Sherpa, you were born and bred stratospherically. That is why most USAF who actually fly, from bottom to top, compete with airline stewardesses for ditziness.
Dude, that Naval Academy propaganda indoctrination you underwent is kicking in. All he was saying is that genuine Christians do not comport themselves as the "military fundamentalist" types do. That's not the same as claiming that there are no genuine Christians in the military, or that they neglect their civic obligations vis-a-vis the Constitution.
When has it ever been different? Fifty or a hundred years ago? No. The only time it has ever been even remotely different was when we didn't have a standing army. As it is we have people who think the military has some sort of God-given right to exist irregardless.
"eve"'s comment gained a plus 3 rating and was considered "excellent" by at least one person… but it was subsequently deleted by an administrator. A clarification of why such an action was deemed necessary would be nice for those of us who are uneasy about disappearing comments. Else, perhaps "Hebo" can remember and share with us what (s)he was replying to…
I retract my inquiry as I now see a later comment that indicates that the removed comment was considered off topic. I shoulda read the thread closer and I apologize to everyone for enlarging this off topic sub-thread.
Weinstein first popped up in 2005, when he alleged there was something like a Christian cabal proseletyzing combatatively at his old alma mater, the Air Force Academy. At the time, and since, he has received attentive, even indulgent press coverage. A report was issued about the matter a few years ago, new guidelines were issued – and the story quietly died for awhile. Then Weinstein filed a lawsuit, moving his allegations into the legal arena and again into our stop-and-go news cycles.
However, in five years, he's emerged as the sole agitator for this "controversy", and it appears more and more that his nemeses are not Christian fanatics buttonholing put-upon Jews and Buddhists, pagans and Muslims. Apparently, his foe is Christianity itself. Certainly, there are Christian absolutists in the military, as there are in American life generally. But if this problem is as monumental as Weinstein alleges, wouldn't more intensive coverage about it emerge? News that sources to someone – anyone – other than Weinstein? In this set-up, the media simply repeats what Weinstein tells it. No effort is made to validate any of his charges that a Christ Cult has taken over the military.
Weinstein himself come across as a case law, legal dominionist.
"Even a few Spanish pilots began to bridle at the incompetence and cowardice of it all."
Do you have a link to that, I would like to read about it, Spanish links would be ok.
"wouldn't more intensive coverage about it emerge?"
Honestly, Curt, your innocence amazes.
Weinstein is a J-E-W and hates everything that has anything to do with the Christ. He wants a
P-E-D-O-P-H-I-L-E R-A-B-B-I in charge of the military so his friends in israel wont have to bribe the military to support the israeli agenda
Oh… please! If Christians were miltantly proselytizing non-Christians in uniform on a widespread basis there'd be Congressional investigations, documentaries, docudramas, special NPR series and round-the-clock Abe Foxman by now. Sure… it's all covered up – by AMERICAN MEDIA?!!! Thone, your gullibility amazes me.
Weinstein is a J-E-W WWW and hates everything that has anything to do with the Christ. He wants a pedo freak rabbi running the U.S. military so his friends in israel wont have to bribe the military to follow their israeli agenda. With the rabbi's in control of the U.S. military,, they would already have started war with Iran
Frankly, fundie prots have pretty much taken over the US. Bush the younger was their false messiah. Happily, he was too lazy and stupid to do much damage at home (sorry Iraqis and Afghans). But another fighting fundie regime, under someone as clever and energetic and vicious as Cromwell is quite possible.
So why does Lew Rockwell continue to post the opinions of Dominionist Supreme, Gary North? Here is a guy that wants to bring back stoning of adulterers.
But of course we should never worry about the Pentagon wanting to attack Iran.
I accept what Mikey says at face value, because I am from Mississippi and all around me are dominionist christians, many who are in the military. They do want America to be an exclusively christian nation, and would love to ban islam, buddism, etc. They would let a few synagogues hang around so they could be considered tolerant.
I think that the MRFF would do better if they had another spokesman, though. Mikey is passionate and well researched, but his manner is a little too much for some people. It's a serious topic and being hyperbolic and deliberately sarcastic and confrontational may not be the best way to communicate this message. That said, I do like Mikey a lot and advise him to watch out for some crazy fundamentalist who might try to silence him.
hahahahaha… oh, you're serious.
Horrible interview. Taking everything Weinstein says for granted without even analyzing what the "other side" thinks.
I recomend anyone to watch videos of James F. Linzey (one of Weinstein favorite targets) lectures on youtube…he sounds a lot like Ron Paul, attacking the Fed, against the Wars in the ME, etc. Maybe its mr. Weinstein that is the totalitarian warmonger here.
Mr. Horton, why dont you do an interview with James F. Linzey so we can hear "the other side"? You might be surprised…

Seems very anti-war to me…James Linzey and his church are one of Weinstein favorite targets. So perhaps Weinstein and his pack of pathetic totalitarians are just afraid because the Dominionists are Ron Paul´s with guns and a short fuze…
"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."
–John Quincy Adams, former U.S. President
"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."
–John Jay, First Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
–George Washington, former U.S. President
"America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture."
–Woodrow Wilson, former U.S. President
"Mr. Weinstein's argument is not with James F. Linzey or Jim Ammerman, but with God, the U.S. Military, the U.S. Founding Fathers, and the Jewish Bible, which serves as the basis of the US judicial system."
Irrespective of what Rev. Dr. James F. Linzey said, though what he said was right in my opinion, the mistake Mr. Weinstein made with Rev. Linzey is that Rev. Linzey is and was a full time civilian, not a full time Major, when Rev. Linzey spoke his mind. One would think that Mr. Weinstein would do his homework and find out Dr. Linzey's status as a civilian and seek clarification on the position of Dr. Linzey before making wild statements. What Dr. Linzey said was based on academic research. All he did was restate what others were saying. Newsweek made a mistake similar to that of Mr. Weinstein when journalist Kathy Joyce, who is an associate of Mr. Weinstein, trusted what Mr. Weinstein said. Ms. Joyce was found to have been in grave error and embarrassed Newsweek. Newsweek issued a public apology to Dr. Linzey when they checked the facts. That speeks volumes in Rev. Linzey's favor.
President Woodrow Wilson stated, "America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture." This is well corroborated with statements from our Founding Fathers. For example, President John Qunicy Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity." Let's examine what the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court said. John Jay stated, "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." It seems to me that Mr. Weinstein's argument is not with James Linzey, but with the Founding Fathers, the U.S. Military, and the Jewish Bible which serves as the basis for the U.S. judicial system and the foundations of the U.S. Constitution.
The views of James Linzey I think are very much in line with not only Antiwar.com, but also with our Founding Fathers. General George Washington said, "My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth." James Linzey, who is involved in missionary work to Mexico, Philippines, Africa, Pakistan, Ukraine, and India is a humanitarian. loves all people, and is a proven pluralist, as his military record substantiates. He gracioiusly worked with chaplains and civilian clergy of all faiths, including those contrary to his own faith. There is no basis for anyone to come against Rev. Linzey. Just my two cents worth.

Join Paul Hopmans for Journey of Well Integrity web event—Wednesday, 27 March, 0830 CDT
Journey of Well Integrity will examine well integrity activities and answer the following questions:
- How transparent are we and do we have proof that our wells are safe?
- How are we handling public opinion as we strive to ensure environmental safety and retain the license to operate?
This important event will also discuss what operators must apply to assure well integrity and what evidence they need to conclusively demonstrate that the well possesses the required integrity.
Paul Hopmans, born 11 September 1950 in the city of Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands, is one of eight children and grew up in the country side. In education he enjoyed four years in technical college, Merchant Navy Engineering college four years, some years sailing in the southern hemisphere, and further studies for chief engineer. This was followed by four years in chemical industry, cryogenic gas plants. In that period he married and built his first house in the countryside. He has two boys and a girl who had the same pleasure of growing up in the countryside.
Hopmans joined Shell as a completion and well intervention engineer in 1978 with considerable workover and drilling experience including subsea, offshore/onshore activities with brown and green field developments in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia. He was assigned the Principle Technical Expert (PTE) role for well integrity as a result of his passion for compliance to standards. This triggered his interest in IT and how to visualize compliance and the design of a well integrity management system. Its success led to the well engineering and well control applications that provide visibility in compliance, as well as the new era of communication platforms and real-time optimization engineering/deep water drilling activities.
As PTE he is involved in global industry standards for ISO well integrity in the operation phase and well integrity governance over life cycle—a new work proposal recently initiated. He is active as chairperson for the SPE Well Integrity Technical Section, the Well Integrity Global Integrated Workshop Series, and regularly participates in SPE events. His aspiration is to provide the industry with improved standards, effective communication of its application, and to yield a safer environment.

Postgame Thoughts: Devils 3, Penguins 1 (2/10/13)
Corey Griffin
Links: Pregame thread | Twitter | NHL.com recap
It might not have been as thorough or impressive a win as Saturday, but tonight was certainly an important and necessary moment in the Devils' season. A home-and-home sweep of a Penguins team that came in on a five-game winning streak? Yeah. Solid weekend for the Devils. Some thoughts…
Diversify yo' game: David Clarkson goes in the corners. David Clarkson screens the goalie. David Clarkson backchecks and forechecks. David Clarkson beats goalies high glove side from the slot. David Clarkson bangs home rebounds. Seriously, how good is David Clarkson? He absolutely does it all. He is the epitome of what you want in a true power forward in a game devoid of them. He has the skill and the speed to gather a bouncing puck at his own blue line and skate it into the offensive zone, the strength to keep his balance despite a backchecking defenseman and the deft hands to find open net on a goalie's glove side while skating through the slot. The Son of Clark might be the Devils' second-best offensive player behind Ilya Kovalchuk and you better believe that man is going to paid a salary commensurate with that skill set and level of play.
Binky: The Devils' goalies are their safety blanket. When everything is going wrong, when the other team is pressing early, Martin Brodeur and Johan Hedberg stay calm, cool and collected and weather the storm. Most nights, it's Marty who has to be the rock when the Devils have a bad stretch, but for three games this year, it's been Hedberg. In those three games, Moose has allowed two goals on 74 shots and has secured five out of a possible six points. He's shut out the Islanders, went toe to toe with the Bruins and stood up to a desperate, angry and driven Penguins team. Did I mention he's done it all on the road? Yeah. Tonight, if it weren't for Hedberg's solid to very good saves, the Devils would have been down at least two goals heading into the first intermission. Instead, he allowed the Devils to gather their sea legs after the first period and pad their lead in the second. It is a rare thing to have a backup goalie as trustworthy and reliable as the Devils have in Hedberg. As the season goes on, that will prove to be even more of an ace in the hole for Pete DeBoer, knowing that he can rest Marty against premier teams and still have a shot to win every single night.
Trending leaguewide: After the game tonight, I sarcastically tweeted "How good are these guys?" Well, after 12 games, I think it's fair to try to differentiate between "great start" and "very good team." If you're asking today to pick between the two, I'm going with the latter. After this weekend's sweep, the Devils have won five straight games and finally have a signature road win. Before tonight, the Devils' only road victories were two victories against the Isles, with losses to the Canadiens, Bruins (OT) and Penguins. Now, one game does not a season make, but the more you watch this Devils team play, the more it's evident that we were too quick to brush off their playoff run as a team getting hot. I think we also underestimated how important it was that the Devils were returning almost that entire team, sans Zach Parise, whose absence I think put turnpike-sized blinders on people. The early play of Clarkson and Andy Greene has been absolutely crucial and I believe that to be more of those players taking the next step rather than starting the season off hot. This is a Devils team that is extremely well coached (See: the timeout in the fourth with his fourth line still on the ice after an icing) and goes into almost every single game executing the coaching staff's gameplans. The Devils are still a very shallow team up front, but as long as they're healthy they will be one of the better teams in the East all season long. And maybe we should have seen it coming.
Special K: Look, the Ilya Kovalchuk contract will come back to burn the Devils at some point. It's too long and "circumvents the spirit of the cap" too much for the bill to eventually come due when Kovy is no longer producing or no longer playing here. But there is a reason why Lou Lamoriello was so very willing to go all in on him. Kovalchuk is an awesome — yes, awesome — hockey player. He is an absolute star and one of three or four true "snipers" in the league right now. Every time he shoots the puck, something good happens and when he doesn't shoot, he's usually finding his teammates or facilitating a long stretch of puck possession to set up a better chance. His shot tonight was a thing of beauty and similar to the 2-on-1 goal he scored Thursday. It's no coincidence that he began to pick up his game as the Devils began this winning streak. In the past three games, he's been all over the ice and every time he has the puck on his blade, there's a legitimate chance it's going to end up in the back of the net. I cannot say enough about him except: Shoot, Kovy. Shoot.
Notes: As good as Hedberg was in the first, the Devils' ability to keep the high-flying Pens on the outside while in the offensive zone was one one of the keys to keeping them off the board. It's something the Devils did Saturday too and it's crucial against a team like the Penguins that can navigate high-traffic areas so deftly. … Guess who was on the ice for the last 90 seconds of the game while the Penguins had pulled their goalie? Adam Larsson. Not only was it great experience for him, but DeBoer had the chance to pull him off with about 30 ticks to go and left him out there. … Boy, that Stephen Gionta incident was a scary one. I was happy to see him come back out and return to the game later, but he looked noticeably dazed and out of it after his head, neck and the back of his shoulders slammed into the boards. Maybe it's the skeptic in me, but it sure feels weird when a player comes back from that in the same game given concussion awareness and everything that goes with it. … When did the Devils turn it around? When the forecheck got going. … Kovy shoots and Kovy scores. Just making sure you're paying attention. … The power play is really starting to come around. I mean, seriously. They were only 2-of-10 on it yesterday, but there was really only two bad power plays in those 10. Today, the Pens got sloppy and frustrated after Kovy's goal, gave the Devils their own power play of the game and the Devils cashed in. If it's 2-1 when James Neal scores that goal to start the third, the rest of the game goes very differently. … I know I said it yesterday, but man, it is fun to watch the Pens pass the puck, isn't it? The Neal goal was one of the most effortless tic-tac-toe plays I've seen in a while and kudos to Evgeni Malkin for orchestrating it. … Greene made a subtle, but important play late in the third period. With the Penguins pressing, there was a shot from the point and Sidney Crosby sank to below the goal line while waiting for the rebound. We've seen how many opponents score goals like that against the Devils this year? Well, not this time because Greene knew exactly where Sid was and boxed him as soon as the puck hit Hedberg's pads so Crosby couldn't get to the puck. It was a tremendous play that might've saved a goal with Hedberg down on the ice to make the save.

text: Cerebral AneurysmWhat is a cerebral aneurysm?A cerebral aneurysm (also called an intracranial aneurysm or brain aneurysm) is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of an artery in the brain, resulting in an abnormal widening, ballooning, or bleb. Because there is a weakened spot in the aneurysm wall, there is a risk for rupture (bursting) of the aneurysm.A cerebral aneurysm more frequently occurs in an artery located in the front part of the brain that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain tissue. Arteries anywhere in the brain can develop aneurysms. A normal artery wall is made up of three layers. The aneurysm wall is thin and weak because of an abnormal loss or absence of the muscular layer of the artery wall, leaving only two layers.The most common type of cerebral aneurysm is called a saccular, or berry, aneurysm, occurring in 90 percent of cerebral aneurysms. This type of aneurysm looks like a "berry" with a narrow stem. More than one aneurysm may be present.Two other types of cerebral aneurysms are fusiform and dissecting aneurysms. A fusiform aneurysm bulges out on all sides (circumferentially), forming a dilated artery. Fusiform aneurysms are often associated with atherosclerosis.A dissecting aneurysm results from a tear along the length of the artery in the inner layer of the artery wall, causing blood to leak in between the layers of the wall. This may cause a ballooning out on one side of the artery wall, or it may block off or obstruct blood flow through the artery. Dissecting aneurysms usually occur from traumatic injury, but they can also happen spontaneously. The shape and location of the aneurysm may determine which treatment is recommended.Most cerebral aneurysms (90 percent) present without any symptoms and are small in size (less than 10 millimeters, or less than four-tenths of an inch, in diameter). Smaller aneurysms may have a lower risk of rupture.Although a cerebral aneurysm may be present without symptoms, the most common initial symptom of a cerebral saccular aneurysm is a sudden headache from a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SAH is bleeding into the subarachnoid space (the space between the brain and the membranes that cover the brain) and not into the brain tissue. Minor subarachnoid hemorrhage most frequently occurs following head trauma. Major subarachnoid hemorrhage is most commonly from a ruptured cerebral saccular aneurysm (80 percent). A sudden headache associated with SAH is a medical emergency.Increased risk for aneurysm rupture is associated with aneurysms that are over 10 millimeters (less than four-tenths of an inch) in diameter, a location (circulation in the back portion of the brain), and/or previous rupture of another aneurysm. A significant risk of death is associated with the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm.Hemorrhagic strokes occur when a blood vessel that supplies the brain ruptures and bleeds. When an artery bleeds into the brain, brain cells and tissues do not receive oxygen and nutrients. In addition, pressure builds up in surrounding tissues, and irritation and swelling occurs. About 20 percent of strokes are caused by hemorrhagic bleeding.Increased risk of rupture is associated with aneurysms that are greater than 10 millimeters (less than four-tenths of an inch) in diameter, a particular location (circulation in the back portion of the brain), and/or previous rupture of another aneurysm. A significant risk of death is associated with the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm.What causes a cerebral aneurysm?Currently, the cause of cerebral aneurysms is not clearly understood. Brain aneurysms are associated with several factors, including smoking, hypertension, and family history (genetic). The ultimate cause of a brain aneurysm is an abnormal degenerative (breaking down) change (weakening) in the wall of an artery, and the effects of pressure from the pulsations of blood being pumped forward through the arteries in the brain. Certain locations of an aneurysm may create greater pressure on the aneurysm, such as at a bifurcation (where the artery divides into smaller branches).Inherited risk factors associated with aneurysm formation may include, but are not limited to, the following:Alpha-glucosidase deficiency. A complete or partial deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, alpha-glucosidase. This enzyme is necessary to break down glycogen and to convert it into glucose.Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. A hereditary disease that may lead to hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver or emphysema of the lungsArteriovenous malformation (AVM). An abnormal connection between an artery and a vein.Coarctation of the aorta. A narrowing of the aorta, which is the main artery coming from the heart.Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. A connective tissue disorder (less common).Family history of aneurysmsFemale genderFibromuscular dysplasia. An arterial disease, cause unknown, that most often affects the medium and large arteries of young to middle-aged women.Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. A genetic disorder of the blood vessels in which there is a tendency to form blood vessels that lack capillaries between an artery and vein.Klinefelter syndrome. A genetic condition in men in which an extra X sex chromosome is present.Noonan's syndrome. A genetic disorder that causes abnormal development of many parts and systems of the body.Polycystic kidney disease (PCKD). A genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts filled with fluid in the kidneys. PCKD is the most common medical disease associated with saccular aneurysms.Tuberous sclerosis. A type of neurocutaneous syndrome that can cause tumors to grow inside the brain, spinal cord, organs, skin, and skeletal bones.Acquired risk factors associated with aneurysm formation may include, but are not limited to, the following:Advancing ageAlcohol consumption (especially binge drinking)Atherosclerosis. A buildup of plaque (made up of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin) in the inner lining of an arteryCigarette smokingUse of illicit drugs, such as cocaine or amphetamineHypertension (high blood pressure)Trauma (injury) to the headInfectionA risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases have different risk factors.Although these risk factors increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors. Knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.What are the symptoms of a cerebral aneurysm?The presence of a cerebral aneurysm may not be known until the time of rupture. However, occasionally there may be symptoms that occur prior to an actual rupture due to a small amount of blood that may leak, called "sentinel hemorrhage" into the brain. Some aneurysms are symptomatic because they press on adjacent structures, such as nerves to the eye. They can cause visual loss or diminished eye movements, even if the aneurysm has not ruptured.The symptoms of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm include, but are not limited to, the following:Headaches (rare, if unruptured)Eye painVision deficits (problems with seeing)Eye movement deficitsThe first evidence of a cerebral aneurysm is most frequently a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), due to rupture of the aneurysm. Symptoms that may occur at the time of SAH include, but are not limited to, the following:Initial sign (rapid onset of "worst headache of my life")Stiff neckNausea and vomitingChanges in mental status, such as drowsinessPain in specific areas, such as the eyesDilated pupilsLoss of consciousnessHypertension (high blood pressure)Motor deficits (loss of balance or coordination)Photophobia (sensitivity to light)Back or leg painCranial nerve deficits (problems with certain functions of the eyes, nose, tongue, and/or ears that are controlled by one or more of the 12 cranial nerves)Coma and deathThe symptoms of a cerebral aneurysm may resemble other problems or medical conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.How is a cerebral aneurysm diagnosed?A cerebral aneurysm is often discovered after it has ruptured or by chance during diagnostic examinations, such as computed tomography (CT scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or angiography that are being done for other reasons.In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a cerebral aneurysm may include:Digital subtraction angiography (DSA). This provides an image of the blood vessels in the brain to detect a problem with vessels and blood flow. The procedure involves inserting a catheter (a small, thin tube) into an artery in the leg and passing it up to the blood vessels in the brain. Contrast dye is injected through the catheter and X-ray images are taken of the blood vessels.Computed tomography scan (CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays, and may be used to detect abnormalities and help identify the location or type of stroke. A CT angiogram (CTA) can also be obtained on a CT scan to look at the vessels.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. An MRI uses magnetic fields to detect small changes in brain tissue that help to locate and diagnose a stroke.Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). A noninvasive diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of magnetic resonance technology (MRI) and intravenous (IV) contrast dye to visualize blood vessels. Contrast dye causes blood vessels to appear opaque on the MRI image, allowing the doctor to visualize the blood vessels being evaluated.What is the treatment for cerebral aneurysm?Specific treatment for a cerebral aneurysm will be determined by your doctor based on:Your age, overall health, and medical historyExtent of the conditionYour signs and symptomsYour tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapiesExpectations for the course of the conditionYour opinion or preferenceDepending on your situation, the doctor will make recommendations for the intervention that is appropriate. Whichever intervention is chosen, the main goal is to decrease the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage, either initially or from a repeated episode of bleeding.Many factors are considered when making treatment decisions for a cerebral aneurysm. The size and location of the aneurysm, the presence or absence of symptoms, the patient's age and medical condition, and the presence or absence of other risk factors for aneurysm rupture are considered. In some cases, the aneurysm may not be treated and the patient will be closely followed by a doctor. In other cases, surgical treatment may be indicated.There are two primary surgical treatments for a cerebral aneurysm:Open craniotomy (surgical clipping). This procedure involves the surgical removal of part of the skull. The doctor exposes the aneurysm and places a metal clip across the neck of the aneurysm to prevent blood flow into the aneurysm sac. Once the clipping is completed, the skull is secured back together.Endovascular coiling or coil embolization. Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive technique, which means an incision in the skull is not required to treat the cerebral aneurysm. Rather, a catheter is advanced from a blood vessel in the groin up into the blood vessels in the brain. Fluoroscopy (live X-ray) will be used to assist in advancing the catheter into the head and into the aneurysm.Once the catheter is in place, very tiny platinum coils are advanced through the catheter into the aneurysm. These tiny, soft, platinum coils, which are visible on X-ray, conform to the shape of the aneurysm. The coiled aneurysm becomes clotted off (embolization), preventing rupture. This procedure is performed either under general or local anesthesia. Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

The Golden State Warriors were pleased to hold onto their top-seven protected pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. With that in hand, the Warriors could set their sights on a veteran to fill their hole at small forward.
Eyeing Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala, Indiana's Danny Granger and Memphis' Rudy Gay, the Warriors want to place an athletic forward into their lineup, the Contra Costa Times reported, citing league sources. Also on the Warriors radar are Portland's Nicolas Batum and Atlanta's Josh Smith.
Golden State has four positions filled in its starting lineup: center Andrew Bogut, power forward David Lee and guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
Of course, keeping this core group intact is contingent on the health of Curry and Bogut. Curry has struggled to recover from surgery on his right ankle, while Bogut is returning from a broken left ankle and has experienced a litany of other injuries in recent years.
The Warriors, who traded away former leading scorer Monta Ellis last season, finished 23-43 in head coach Mark Jackson's first year, edging out only the Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Hornets in the Western Conference standings.

We reached Jaime Camil in Los Angeles.
Q: In the States, mariachi bands are used as kind of a punch-line, a musical joke. What about in Mexico?
 A: People in the U.S. or other countries hear mariachi and they think it's time to break out the tequila. 'Get wasted! Hey boys, play 'The Macarena!' Mariachis don't do 'La Macarena.' It's hilarious. 'La Bamba,' yes. 'Macarena,' no.
Mariachi IS Mexico. Look at the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, black-and-white films with Jorge Negrete, Agustin Lara or Maria Felix, the beautiful musical movies we used to make, you realize it has this long and honorable musical tradition.
Q: Nobody can fall in love in Mexico without mariachis, right?
 A: Oh, from Quincea?ra (sweet 15) parties to serenading a woman outside her window, you want to win the heart of a lady, you need mariachis. There's a plaza in Mexico City — Plaza Garibaldi. On Friday on Saturday night, if you've had a fight with your girlfriend, you can drive by Garibaldi where mariachi bands are giving out cards. 'I need a serenade. Come on, guys!' They pile into your car, or follow you in their van, and they help you out. We had to show that in 'Pulling Strings.' A band, on the street, for hire — rescuing romance. What woman wouldn't forgive you if you brought a band to serenade her?
Q: You're not a mariachi singer. What was it like to put on 'the uniform?'
 A: You put on the mariachi's suit and you feel like a superhero, empowered, like putting on Superman's cape. You have the power to make people fall in love. I feel honored to represent my country in the most iconic way a Mexican can - as a mariachi.
Q: And the singing style, how much of an adjustment for you?
 A: All these years I've been a singer, and I never realized that mariachis don't have to shout above the music, don't have to scream. Sometimes, all it takes is a whisper. They caress the songs.

Rowland Emett, one of the greatest British cartoonists of the previous century yet mostly forgotten today, is finally getting his due. The Birmingham Museum in England will open "Marvellous Machines: The Wonderful World of Rowland Emett" on May 10. The exhibit is being billed as the largest-ever exhibition devoted to Emett, who was also an inventor of whimsical automata and moving sculptures.
"With this exhibition we aim to introduce Rowland Emett and his amazing machines to a new generation," says Tim Griffiths, founder of the Rowland Emett Society. "He was a very familiar figure during the post-war decades but has been largely forgotten—until now. We will have twelve of the fifteen machines known to have survived in the UK on display alongside many of his distinctive original drawings."
Emett never attained the same level of fame in the United States as his English contemporary Ronald Searle, but he did have fans on this side of the pond. One of his biggest admirers in the animation community was Disney director Ward Kimball, who clipped Emett's work out of magazines and was influenced by it when he made shorts like Melody and Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom.
When Emett visited the United States for the first time in 1954, Ward gave him a personal tour of the Disney studio, and later hosted him overnight. Emett, who had invented a personal railroad universe in his cartoons for Punch magazine, insisted on spending the night in the train depot that was behind Ward's house. Below is a photo of Ward pitching early storyboards for Sleeping Beauty to Emett and his wife Mary, followed by a pic of Emett sketching before bedtime in Ward's depot:

After 20 miscarriages, woman has baby thanks to malaria pill
A woman who had 20 miscarriages has been blessed with a baby boy following treatment with an anti-malaria pill.
The 37-year-old woman, who spent 11 years trying to have a child, said that it was like a "dream come true" when she became pregnant after the treatment which used hydroxychloroquine tablets to suppress her immune system, the Independent reported.
According to the Mirror, Kelly Moseley's son Tyler is the first child in the world as a result of a mother taking the pill, which costs just 25p.

Here's what an economist had to say about investing on ABC 7 Eyewitness News tonight:
- Third quarter 401(k) statements are reaching homes now. Don't look at your statement.
- If you put more money in your 401(k), put it into Treasuries.
- If you are thinking about stocks, think again. They look cheap now, but they'll be cheaper later.
I suppose if you would go insane after seeing your 401(k) balance, it would be a wise decision for your mental health to hide your head in the sand. Times like these test the investor. Putting your money into stocks is risky; if you want the returns touted by finance professionals, you have to accept that risk. It's easier to accept that risk when the market is moving upwards.
I'm not quite sure the same tips apply to the 25-year-old with 40 years before retirement and the 60-year-old approaching retirement.
This is interesting advice from an economist. What do you think?

Ahhh! It's done, it's done! It's — okay, it's not actually DONE, but it's close enough that I can post photos and do a little happy dance. I still have to caulk a few seams and then touch them up with a tiny paint brush, and when Rob gets here, I need him to pull the fridge out so I can paint in its little cubby. But other than that — done! Brace yourself for a long post.
Rob and I sometimes imagine what we would change about this house if we won the lottery, and the kitchen has always been fairly high on would-be-nice list. Then I started to think about how I'd lay the kitchen out differently, and I had to admit that it was actually pretty functional the way it was. And there were a few issues with the cabinets, but they were fairly decent quality — the color was just completely not to our taste. So I wound up thinking that the kitchen would be pretty amazing if I just painted the cabinets. A big undertaking with a baby in the house, but (obviously) not impossible. I think if I could have just dedicated myself 100% to the project, it would have taken a solid week (with some down time for drying paint). As it was, it took… a lot longer than that.
I've painted a lot of stuff, and I kind of enjoy painting, but the thought of all the prep work involved in painting the cabinets really got me down. Luckily, that was (mostly) stuff I could do while M played nearby, so I removed the doors here and there and got the cabinet boxes taped off when I had the time. I was prepared to paint inside the cupboards, by the way, but I when I started to look closely at them, I realized they were pressed board with a birch-look paper coating. The outsides are oak veneer (the doors are solid oak), so I figured they wouldn't look any worse with a mismatched inside + outside than they already did. (And the light 'birch' color actually wound up looking quite nice with the painted outsides.)
So over the course of a few days, I managed to prep the cabinet boxes after M went to bed at night — I scrubbed them with deglosser and did a little puttying where necessary and then sanding. I didn't sand everything (just where I'd puttied), and it was hard to tell if the deglosser really did anything, but there was and has been zero bleed-through of the original stain/poly, so whatever I did seems to have worked. After a few more days, I primed and painted everything. Rob and I had started talking about painting the cabinets in mid-April, and by mid-May the kitchen looked like this:
Not bad! Just, you know, no doors on anything. And that's the way it stayed for… um… almost two and a half months? I kind of got used to being able to grab things and put away dishes without having to open a door first. But I've learned that I absolutely don't want open shelf storage — that look (even if I were more organized) just isn't for me.
Prepping the doors took a long time. My mom VERY helpfully scrubbed them all down for me, and then I used the deglosser and had to putty the cracks between the faces and edge pieces of all the white doors (eighteen of them — twelve on the bottom, but I figured the gaps wouldn't show with the dark paint, and they don't, luckily). Then I had to sand that putty, which was one of my least favorite steps. I know a lot of people caulk cracks like that, but I couldn't get it as smooth as I wanted, and the stuff I had wasn't meant to be sanded. Finally, I brought all the prepped doors out to our barn, and that's where they sat for a long time.
I was really daunted by the paint sprayer we'd got for the doors. Not so much the spraying part, but the clean-up. What I like about using a roller is that you can wrap everything in plastic while you wait for a coat to dry. I didn't want the paint sprayer to clog up, so I knew I'd have to clean it between coats. Which meant I'd lose almost an entire nap time to painting and cleaning for each coat. It didn't really take that long, in the end. It was maybe forty minutes to do a coat on the uppers + cleaning, and just twenty minutes for the lower cabinet doors.
Maybe this is a good time to mention that I used Glidden Duo, a paint and primer in one. But I still primed everything with Zinsser 1-2-3. The white for the uppers (Lamb) was much thicker than the darker bottom color (Anvil). That was nice when I was using a little foam roller for the cabinet boxes, but I had a heck of a time getting the sprayer settings to work with the white paint. I finished those by the end of July, right before we went to Madison. So they were nicely cured when we got back, and I was happy to hang them up again. The dark paint for the lower doors sprayed on like a dream and covered them completely in just two coats. I let them dry for a few days and finished hanging them this morning.
And after all that work? I am so, SO, so-so-so happy with the way everything looks! The kitchen is just as I imagined it. The only thing that isn't is that you can see the wood grain texture under the paint, and I've wound up loving that — it makes them feel much higher end than smooth, laminated board. It's amazing how much more I love the unchanged elements of the kitchen now. I had been feeling like maybe we made the wrong choice with the Corian counters, but they look fantastic with the new colors. The slate behind the stove also matches well. And the maple floors really shine now that they aren't competing with the reddish wood of the cabinets. The only thing left to do (besides the aforementioned caulking and touching up) is to trim out the tops of the cabinets. I'm guessing we'll probably just put some crown molding up there, but I love the idea of having a little extra storage like this.
Other little bits to mention include switching the old drawer pulls for bin pulls (we reused the 'old' — 2012 — door pulls, though). I took down the decorative shelf that used to be to the right of the window, since I knew it would look a bit old fashioned even painted white. I hung up a couple photos of M instead. I also painted that window, since it would have look strange to have stained oak in the middle of all that painted wood. Both Rob and I love white trim, so it's hard to resist replacing/painting more of it right now. Rob installed under-cabinet lights on both side of the oven (I turned them on for the photos!), and he did a great job with them. Oh, and I have to mention that roll-up door of the appliance garage (in the corner). I painted that thing with a teeny brush, slat by slat. Inside every groove. It was the very first thing I did because I knew it would be a pain in my butt, but it's holding up well so far.
Anyway, kitchen cupboards = done. (Nearly done. Mostly done. Done enough.) Totally worth it! It really feels like having a whole new kitchen. To end with, here are three photos from the same angle. The first is from January 2012, when we did our initial walk-through. The second is from June 2012, after the new counters had gone in (the cabinets were the only original element in the kitchen by that point). And then the last photo is from today. Hooray!

A new program gives young actors the opportunity to perform in popular play
With only four boys and seven girls in the cast, actors in the Rhodes Junior Apprentice Program of the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company's production of "Romeo and Juliet" will be playing multiple roles.
And different genders.
Theresa Wegher-Thompson, 13, is playing Friar Lawrence, which she says will be a challenge.
"He's a complex character, he's not my gender, he's more wise, holy and not my age," she said. She will also be playing the role of Abraham.
This year, the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company expanded its Rhodes Junior Apprentice Program to include the production of "Romeo and Juliet", giving 13- to 19-year-olds the opportunity to perform.
The cast has been rehearsing for their big performances that will open at the end of the month. The directors are two apprentices from the program.
Actors must learn not only how to adapt to the language of Shakespeare, but also learn the movements.
Aaron Anthony Bonilla, assistant director, is introducing the cast to stage combat. He's teaching the basic movements of fight choreography.
Bonilla said learning the steps of a fight choreography "sets the foundation for the actors" and the choreography is "one big dance fighting with weapons."
The cast also takes biweekly classes taught by members of the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company, which include scansion of Shakespeare's language, voice and movement for Shakespearean acting and improvisation.
The Junior Apprentice Program members also assist in the nightly performances in "Will's Corner," collecting donations and doing Shakespearean improvisations.
Director of the play, Andy Babinski, said the cast has been learning Shakespeare's history and how to handle poetry. He said that even though the language is different, they can adapt to it with practice.
"It looks a lot harder than what it really is," he said.
Cast member Justin Suhr, playing Romeo, said he likes the fencing, dialogue and athleticism that's involved in the play.
The Kingsmen Shakespeare Company is dedicated to presenting performances of the works of William Shakespeare. The Santa Susana Repertory Theatre Company and the drama department at California Lutheran University together produced the first Kingsmen apprentice play in 1997, and have been producing Shakespearean plays ever since.
"The topics and stories (of Shakespeare) are relevant today, they connect with everyday issues, that's why they are still around," said Bonilla.
Jeni Houston, a recent high school graduate, will be designing the set for the performance.
The junior apprentices will be performing at Kingsmen Park at Cal Lutheran University at 6:30 p.m. July 28; 2 p.m. July 30; 6:30 p.m. Aug. 4, and 2 p.m. Aug. 6. Entry to the play is free.

Asperatus illustration prints by Matt Huynh
'Asperatus' roughly translates from Latin to 'agitated' and refers to a newly discovered cloud formation which appears as ominous, rippling clouds, but confusingly often disappears without delivering on any threat of storm. This series consists of black and white illustrations occupied with the chaotic and confusing present, when our actions have become increasingly abstracted from their consequences. Asperatus prints will be released in late-October with pre-orders now available.

Ricoh has just announced the GX100 replacement, the predictably named GX200.Same body and lens,24-72mm, new sensor 12.1 million pixel (from 10MP) ,new processing engine and double resolution LCD, from 230k to 460k pixels. I would assume that the sensor is the same as the one inside the Sony W200,Canon A650 and Canon G9.The Sony is very so so, but I was very pleased with the performance of the 650 (great value for money) and the deluxe version called G9 ( same sensor,same lens...) , so with the new processor the GX200 could be even better than the already good GX100.Francodetails herehttp://www.dpreview.com/news/0806/08062401ricohgx200.asp
Thanks Franco, for the heads-up.Everything looks like an improvement except, ironically, the pixel count boost. Hopefully it doesn't gain noise, or excessive noise reduction, as part of the bargain.A lof of GRDII users like the electronic level, which makes even more sense on the GX, and the teleconverter is a welcome option. More speed and better screen, everyone can agree on as a good thing!
RickI could have mentioned that none of the other cameras that use the same sensor are particularly good in low light , nevertheless I was pleased with my A650 night shots. But I started when we had to push process a film to get to 400 ASA, so I expect less than some ...Sony has indirectly explained that it keeps coming out with higher pixel count CCDs because that is what the public wants. I put some of the blame on the demise of so many specialist shops and the proliferation of on line sales and box movers.The audio and visual level warning is a bonus, most of the time I need to use the grids if shooting using the screen.
