Mirren wins London theatre award for Queen Elizabeth II portrayal
British actress Mirren poses on the red carpet as she arrives at an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Hong Kong
By Michael Roddy
LONDON (Reuters) - Helen Mirren was named best actress for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in "The Audience" at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards on Sunday while the best actor award was split between Rory Kinnear and Adrian Lester as the leads in "Othello".
The award for best play on the London stage went to Lucy Kirkwood for "Chimerica", an exploration of the relationship between the United States and China as seen through the eyes of an American photojournalist trying to track down a young protester who faced down a tank in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
A revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along", a flop on Broadway in 1981, was named best musical while Richard Eyre won best director for a revival of Ibsen's "Ghosts".
"People come from around the world to see plays in London," Mayor Boris Johnson said as he made his way into the awards banquet at the Savoy Hotel. "It's the place where the theatre really got going in the 16th century."
Mirren, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in Steven Frears's movie "The Queen", said she feels such awards are being given to the queen as much as to her.
"The Audience" shows her meeting with prime ministers over many decades, and required that she portray a woman in her 20s as well as an octogenarian.
"I've always felt playing her majesty that it's actually her majesty who's winning the award and not me," Mirren told Reuters.
"I did feel very much doing a play that the response to the play was as much a response to that person, that extraordinary woman, as it was to my performance. But I should be very proud," she said, speaking before the official announcement was made.
Kinnear and Lester said that portraying Othello and Iago in the production of Shakespeare's play at the National Theatre had been a challenge, both personally and in terms of seeing how the play could be interpreted for new audiences.
"It was important that we got on with each other because we're spending an awfully long time ruining each other's lives," Kinnear said.
Lester said he thought the production had managed to connect with a whole new generation of theatregoers. "It breathed fresh life into a play that people may have found dated," he said.
London Evening Standard editor Sarah Sands, one of the judges, said, "The high level of theatrical daring and creativity seen on the London stage this year made our choices tougher than ever to make.
"We, like the rest of the world, have been dazzled by the talent on show."
In other awards:
- American actor Seth Numrich took the Milton Shulman Award for Outstanding Newcomer for his portrayal of a small-town gigolo in Tennessee Williams's "Sweet Bird of Youth".
- Rachel De-lahay won the Charles Wintour Award for Most Promising Playwright for her drama about immigration and multicultural London, "Routes".
- Rosalie Craig won a new award for Best Musical Performance as the star of "The Light Princess".
- The Evening Standard Theatre Icon Award went to Maggie Smith for her contribution to the world stage.
- David Walliams took home the new Award for Comedy for his performance as Bottom in "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
- Actor and director Kevin Spacey, artistic director of the Old Vic since 2003, was given the Editor's Award for his contribution to British Theatre.

Re: Metronome Volume? in response to troy1g SolvedHow do you listen to your guitar while recording? Software or direct monitoring?
If you use software monitoring, turn down the mixer fader of the guitar and vocal buy some dB (in logic). Then raise the level of your headphone amp. This way the metronome will get louder. If you don't have a headphone amp you'll have to adjust the overall loudness of your macbook. If it is still not loud enough you might need another headphone or a headphone amp?
There are also "metronome preferences" where you can adjust the level and the sound of the metronome but this might not be enough.
If you use direct monitoring you have to adjust the levels in the mixer software of your audio-interface.
You may also use a software instrument with a drum preset and create a quantized midi-click on that track (looped). This might sound louder or more articulated.
Cheers Eddie

Re: Metronome Volume? in response to troy1gHi troy1g
To set the metronome volume you can control (or right mouse button) click on the Metronome button in the Transport. From the contextual menu select Metronome settings.
In this window you can change the tonality and volume of the metronome. The tonality can make a big difference.
To set the tempo double click on the tempo display in the transport bar and enter yur desired tempo in the text field.
I'd recommend reading through the getting started manual for lots of this info.
If you want a really comprehensive range of tutorials for logic 8 (from beginner to pro) take a look at www.macprovideo.com
I'm a moderator on their forums so perhaps I'm a little biased, bit IMHO these are the best and most value for money tutorials for Logic available.

Article: Activation of the AT1 Angiotensin Receptor Is Dependent on Adjacent Apolar Residues in the Carboxyl Terminus of the Third Cytoplasmic Loop[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The C-terminal region of the third intracellular loop of the AT(1) angiotensin receptor (AT(1)-R) is an important determinant of G protein coupling. The roles of individual residues in agonist-induced activation of G(q/11)-dependent phosphoinositide hydrolysis were determined by mutational analysis of the amino acids in this region. Functional studies on mutant receptors transiently expressed in COS-7 cells showed that alanine substitutions of the amino acids in positions 232-240 of the third loop had no major effect on signal generation. However, deletion mutations that removed Ile(238) or affected its position relative to transmembrane helix VI significantly impaired angiotensin II-induced inositol phosphate responses. Substitution of Ile(238) with an acidic residue abolished the ability of the receptor to mediate inositol phosphate production, whereas its replacement with basic or polar residues reduced the amplitude of inositol phosphate responses. Substitutions of Phe(239) with polar residues had relatively minor effects on inositol phosphate signal generation, but its replacement by aspartic acid reduced, and by positively charged residues (Lys, Arg) significantly increased, angiotensin II-induced inositol phosphate responses. The internalization kinetics of the Ile(238) and Phe(239) mutant receptors were impaired in parallel with the reduction in their signaling responses. These findings have identified Ile(238) and Phe(239) as the critical residues in the C-terminal region of the third intracellular loop of the AT(1)-R for receptor activation. They also suggest that an apolar amino acid corresponding to Ile(238) of the AT(1)-R is a general requirement for activation of other G protein-coupled receptors by their agonist ligands.Journal of Biological Chemistry 06/2000; 275(21):15782-8.

Article: Dependence of AT1 angiotensin receptor function on adjacent asparagine residues in the seventh transmembrane helix[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For several G protein-coupled receptors, amino acids in the seventh transmembrane helix have been implicated in ligand binding and receptor activation. The function of this region in the AT1 angiotensin receptor was further investigated by mutation of two conserved polar residues (Asn294 and Asn295) and the adjacent Phe293 residue. Analysis of the properties of the mutant receptors expressed in COS-7 cells revealed that alanine replacement of Phe293 had no major effect on AT1 receptor function. Substitution of the adjacent Asn294 residue with alanine (N294A) reduced receptor binding affinities for angiotensin II, two nonpeptide agonists (L-162,313 and L-163,491), and the AT1-selective nonpeptide antagonist losartan but not that for the peptide antagonist [Sar1, Ile8]angiotensin II. The N294A receptor also showed impaired G protein coupling and severely attenuated inositol phosphate generation. In contrast, alanine replacement of Asn295 decreased receptor binding affinities for all angiotensin II ligands but did not impair signal transduction. Additional substitutions of Asn295 with a variety of amino acids did not identify specific structural elements for ligand binding. These findings indicate that Asn295 is required for the integrity of the intramembrane binding pocket of the AT1a receptor but is not essential for signal generation. They also demonstrate the importance of transmembrane helices in the formation of the binding site for nonpeptide AT1 receptor agonists. We conclude that the Asn294 residue of the AT1 receptor is an essential determinant of receptor activation and that the adjacent Asn295 residue is required for normal ligand binding.Molecular Pharmacology 09/1998; 54(2):427-34. · 4.13 Impact Factor
Article: Agonist-induced phosphorylation of the endogenous AT1 angiotensin receptor in bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A polyclonal antibody was raised in rabbits against a fusion protein immunogen consisting of bacterial maltose-binding protein coupled to a 92-amino acid C-terminal fragment of the rat AT1b angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor. The antibody immunoprecipitated the photoaffinity-labeled bovine AT1 receptor (AT1-R), but not the rat AT2 receptor, and specifically stained bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells and AT1a receptor-expressing Cos-7 cells, as well as the rat adrenal zona glomerulosa and renal glomeruli. The antibody was employed to analyze Ang II-induced phosphorylation of the endogenous AT1-R immunoprecipitated from cultured bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells. Receptor phosphorylation was rapid, sustained for up to 60 min, and enhanced by pretreatment of the cells with okadaic acid. Its magnitude was correlated with the degree of ligand occupancy of the receptor. Activation of protein kinase A and protein kinase C (PKC) also caused phosphorylation of the receptor, but to a lesser extent than Ang II. Inhibition of PKC by staurosporine augmented Ang II-stimulated AT1-R phosphorylation, suggesting a negative regulatory role of PKC on the putative G protein-coupled receptor kinase(s) that mediates the majority of AT1-R phosphorylation. The antibody should permit further analysis of endogenous AT1-R phosphorylation in Ang II target cells.Molecular Endocrinology 06/1998; 12(5):634-44. · 4.02 Impact Factor
Article: Dependence of agonist activation on a conserved apolar residue in the third intracellular loop of the AT1 angiotensin receptor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The coupling of agonist-activated seven transmembrane domain receptors to G proteins is known to involve the amino-terminal region of their third cytoplasmic loop. Analysis of the amino acids in this region of the rat type in angiotensin (AT1a) receptor identified Leu-222 as an essential residue in receptor activation by the physiological agonist, angiotensin II (Ang II). Nonpolar replacements for Leu-222 yielded functionally intact AT1 receptors, while polar or charged residues caused progressive impairment of Ang II-induced inositol phosphate generation. The decrease in agonist-induced signal generation was associated with a parallel reduction of receptor internalization, and was most pronounced for the Lys-222 mutant receptor. Although this mutant showed normal binding of the peptide antagonist, [Sar1,Ile6]Ang II, its affinity for Ang II was markedly reduced, consistent with its inability to adopt the high-affinity conformation. A search revealed that many Gq-coupled receptors contain an apolar amino acid (frequently leucine) in the position corresponding to Leu-222 of the AT1 receptor. These findings suggest that such a conserved apolar residue in the third intracellular loop is a crucial element in the agonist-induced activation of the AT1 and possibly many other G protein-coupled receptors.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 10/1996; 93(19):10040-5.

Re: what happened to this game!?filthy3627 Jan 27, 2013 8:20 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
Don't feel bad bro, since yesterday's TU I am 2 or 3 barring with a 25/5 and can't kill anything unless I get lucky. I am on the opposite somehow of everyone who likes this update. For me, the game was great at launch and now gets worse with every patch, unlike those who had trouble at launch and the patches are helping. I just don't understand why they can't get it right.
Re: what happened to this game!?TurdFerguson00 Jan 27, 2013 8:24 AM (in response to filthy3627)
im used to it... but whats amazing me is a moderate connection with a half meg upload being picked as host... either selecting best matches me with horrible horrible connections...
or im not screwing with my connection as much as the other 15 players... which is far more likely... im in canada and dont know of a single person that uses or a company that provides 56k
seeing the amount of lag switches sold on ebay is a concern as well.. a little research on how they work and are used seem shockingly similar to what i see and makes me paranoid lol
Re: what happened to this game!?filthy3627 Jan 27, 2013 8:32 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
Yea I've only been lag switched once so far on this game (knock on wood) however i have caught and reported about 15-20 boosters and saved some of the gameplays for proof. Something really catchy about the amount of cheating these kids are doing, seems like cheating to get your name on a leaderboard that means nothing in the realm of life has become the trendy thing to do! I think stats should be available only to the player that earns them, then maybe the low-life's would go back into the woodworks and the game would be more enjoyable.
Re: what happened to this game!?Syndicatekiller Jan 27, 2013 8:27 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
Same here bro,before the update the game was ok,like I was getting into good as well as bad lobbies,but now I cannot even find a match,and when I do I am always some milliseconds behind other players and get hitdetection problems,I don't know how most people are saying their lag is gone after the update.
Re: what happened to this game!?myevo8you Jan 27, 2013 8:31 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
Last night around 1 AM (est) there were still over 720,000 people online. Before 2x xp it was around 220,000. The increase flow through the servers along with all the varying connections is the likely culprit. I usually play between 10PM and 5 AM (est) and the issues seem to be a WHOLE lot less. Through 2x xp I will randomly play a half hour or so here or there throughout the day and it is WAY WORSE between 10 am and 5 pm.

Re: what happened to this game!?tehhhn Jan 27, 2013 8:41 AM (in response to myevo8you)
When I was on last night it was 330,000 or so and it wasn't as bad as it was earlier. Earlier that day I couldn't hit anything or I was so tired and fustrated I couldn't concentrate.

but that is the exact opposite of how and why the listen server setup is used... the more players, the better!! not worse...
the other logical explanation is peak times brings more of the people screwing with their connections..
i see it constantly... instant host migrations, the game freezing the second you run into a certain player etc.. it all points to a lag switch and players more concerned with hitting a button with their foot then with their fingers..
if you've been around gaming long enough and seen the rise in cheap no-life people looking for an edge.. i dont see how you would even be surprised let alone deny it even exists... look on ebay and see how many have been sold... read the feedback if you want more....
it works, especially when not hosting.... read up
the only possible way for it to go away along with every other connection based exploit.... is stop influencing peoples connections! let the person with the fat pipe host games for 5 hours straight because he has a slight edge and doesnt want to leave... at least the other players get a level playing field...
when people strive for the perfect connection... we all benefit... there is NO WAY to fake a low latency... its why the problem never existed before..
now people think bad is good... even if they are wrong, simply trying it breaks the game for everyone else... we cant rely on the honor system! lol
Re: what happened to this game!?wash0ut Jan 27, 2013 8:38 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
I'm in your boat. I see people comin on uav and wait for them to come around the corner to pepper them wirth bullets. After the 1st 3 or 4 bullets from my fal are out I instantly die. Kill cam shows I got one bullet off. Feels like 1 out of 3 well aimed bullets hits the target.
Have had ups and downs since game came out. It has probably been 60% bad 40% good side of lag. but since update I would say 90% bad 10% good and that 10% good was one lobby I found yesterday and stayed in for an hour or so.
This is how bo1 started for me tho and eventually, from my point of view, they got it right. I am holding out hope that at some point I will feel like I am consistently on even footing with other players
Re: what happened to this game!?filthy3627 Jan 27, 2013 8:42 AM (in response to wash0ut)
I know right, seems like I always get killed when I KNOW someone is coming and i am ads'd ready for them! My reaction time is good and I always get the first few shots off (on my screen that is) a couple markers and I die. I would actually like to just die than the game give me false hope that I actually shot them!! HAHA
Re: what happened to this game!?allnyguy Jan 27, 2013 8:44 AM (in response to filthy3627)
funny, i thought it was just me the last day or so after the update thinking i was tired or just not playing good, but the lag is still there and the kill cam varies so much from what i saw on the screen... horrible!!!
Re: what happened to this game!?FalconR6 Jan 27, 2013 8:57 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
Speaking very simplistic for every person that is behind lag, there is a person in front. For the majority (whether behind or in front) is no fault of any gamer. Of course there will be the few who try to manipulate the system. But, any time matchmaking / netcode is altered there will be winners and losers. I have to believe that 3arc are trying to make a level playing field. Put it this way - if they had the magic bullet to end lag they would use it. From what I've read your personal connection speed is almost irrelevant. Some gamers with 100 Mbps complain bitterly and some say they have no problem (host or not). For me, I put the game away a month ago because I felt my outcomes were based more on connection than gameplay : started up a couple of nights ago and think that I'm a little behind, but more consistent. I'm no tech head, but trottling your own connection would probably do you more harm than good and not worth the aggregation. I think you used a good term near the end of your post :: lucky. My guess is it has a lot to do with player density relative to you. If playing different playlists doesn't help, find something else to enjoy until your lag luck changes.
Re: what happened to this game!?djtn Jan 27, 2013 9:05 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
Lag is an issue, always has been with COD games. Keep in mind that they tweaked guns in this update too. More people playing could also contribute to quality degradation in match making.
Re: what happened to this game!?RatedM Jan 27, 2013 10:51 AM (in response to TurdFerguson00)
Everytime there is a big TU drop and/or a double XP weekend (high player numbers) the online experience is more liable to get bent out of shape, more so for those already experiencing problems. An IW dev mentioned this when explaining TU propagation back during MW3,

This is the tip jar...
...at Farm Burger in Asheville, where we got our dinner last Saturday.
The burgers are wonderful, and the restaurant is nice...
...but the weather was beautiful so we got our hamburgers to go and sat in the sunshine in a park.

Last Friday, we drove up to Asheville to see daughter in the UNC-Asheville Dance Concert. Dear husband took the day off so we had the whole afternoon to wander around the Biltmore Estate. It was a beautiful afternoon!
I'm usually very much against public Christmas decorations* before Thanksgiving, but I know that the Biltmore house has a lot of Christmas tours to do so they start early (the tours get really crowded in December)(Hint we got from someone who works there - go at about 4 pm. The day tourists are mostly done, but the Candlelight tours haven't started yet). Here, they have the outside Christmas tree up.
The greenhouse was beautiful as usual:
Bird of paradise
Wreath made of...
...epiphytes and succulents
The greenhouse roof
The orchids were beautiful:
The paperwhites smelled wonderful!
Very large ferns
* I don't care if people decorate their own houses that early - I just don't care for it in stores.

When we were in Asheville a few weeks ago, we had lunch at the West End Bakery. I tried hummus for the first time a few years ago there. It was wonderful, although, unfortunately, the hummus I've tried from other places, while good, is never as good as it is there. Here's the hummus we got three weeks ago:
Here's the inside of the bakery,...

When we were in Asheville for our early anniversary trip last weekend, we spent Sunday at the Biltmore Estate. The gardens are beautiful right now - there's so much blooming and so much color that it was like walking through a box of crayons. Here's the video I took (I'm still getting used to the camera so it took a few seconds to stop recording at the end):

Dear husband and I went for an early anniversary trip.* We had breakfast at the City Bakery early Saturday morning, and then we wandered around downtown Asheville before all the stores opened. I enjoyed doing this when I was visiting daughter back in June. It's calm and peaceful, you can really see the architecture because there are fewer people and cars, and the people downtown, in some ways, are more diverse than later in the day.
You can't take a photo down Lexington Ave. later in the day.
Dear husband took this photo of a sunflower on Wall St. (I'm too short to get this angle for the photo).
At Blue Goldsmiths in the Flatiron Building on Wall St.
In the window of La Magia on Battery Park Ave. If you click on the photo to get a larger version, you can see that the knights on the left side are llamas.

The last time we were in Asheville, younger son mentioned wanting to go to a stream or river after our Saturday morning hike. We ended up going to The White Duck Taco Shop, getting takeout, and eating lunch at a park next to the French Broad River.
Early last week, I started looking at the weather forecast for this weekend - it was supposed to be beautiful. Older son was starting his last week at his intern job and didn't want to go anywhere this weekend. Younger son said he'd be happy staying home. I started playing with the idea of dear husband and I going away for a WARM anniversary trip. Our anniversary is in February, which is a bit on the chilly side if you like to spend as much time outside as possible.
We also wanted something familiar and relaxing (since I'm still trying to slow down). Beautiful scenery, familiar, great restaurants - we went to Asheville again! Dear husband and I had a wonderful time, took long walks, sat and watched the kayakers and tubers paddle/float by on the French Broad River, and really enjoyed having a late Saturday dinner with daughter after dragging her up to Craggy Gardens for a chilly (temperature in the 50's!) sunset.
Saturday afternoon, after wandering around the River Arts District, dear husband and I picked up lunch at Duck Taco, and ate it, again, at a park next to the French Broad River. This could get to be a regular habit until it starts getting cold.
We spent today at the Biltmore Estate. We almost never go in the mansion, but we love to wander the grounds. When we had breakfast at Dough,* we picked up salads (bean, chickpea, chicken pesto, etc.) for lunch and ate lunch by the French Broad River.
* Best chocolate croissants ever - and fresh out of the oven this morning!

My husband the creative singer
Thursday, May 21, 2015
Apparently I'm not a good parent
Sunday, May 17, 2015
Can't hear you!
Thursday, January 22, 2015
Just had a long conversation with her about the importance of routine....something I've struggled with for YEARS. At least since I became a mom...I was much better about it pre-kids.
Lately I've actually been getting my act together, thanks to the HomeRoutines app and good old fashioned determination. I think it's also helped that I'm learning to how to work WITH my weaknesses, instead of against them...and allowing for many SQUIRREL!s and falling off the horse.
So since I've struggled to get my kids to follow a routine, even though I have even gotten Maeven the same app on her phone and detailed out a simple routine for her to follow in the morning and early afternoon...very doable...it still has been a struggle because she just wants to do her own thing, in her own time all the time. Typical teenager, right? Well she's not usually a typical teenager. I tend to think that's part because of her being homeschooled and not around all the garbage the rest of the country is around daily as a teen, but also just because of who she is.
ANYWAY, I managed to convey what I was trying to convey in a light way and much smiles and laughter ensued. Pat on the back for me not to engage in a battle with my teen. :) Now it remains to be seen if she now follows through on our discussion...but historically, she has been a very cooperative and helpful kid since she hit adolescence (NOT so when she was younger!), and usually reason and respectful conversations about the way things are tend to work wonderfully with her. Yelling and arguing do NOT. Like ever.
So I just am feeling pretty good about my new ability to deal with her....and the fact that lately I've been pretty calm and peaceful and not prone to yelling. VERY proud of myself for that!!
Next I have to talk to Tyren and he's a whole 'nother ballgame. He was always my super happy, cooperative child, but since about 8 he's turned into this beast who has to argue over EVERYTHING and NOTHING seems easy with him! Now, at 9, I've just got to stop myself from engaging in argument with him and stand my ground on issues that there is no negotiation on. (Yes, you ARE going to shower!) Using a respectful and firm but kind tone seems to work usually. He does give in and cooperate eventually, almost always....but it's a bear getting to that point. Wears me down.
But I KNOW that giving in is not the solution, and I've never been a mom prone to giving in and being permissive with my kids anyway, so that's not really an issue. Just exhaustion and lack of patience and calm tone. He pushes my buttons, oh this boy. But I know that UNlecturing works with him too...I just have to hold my ground and help him to stay focused on my reasoning and he usually concedes.
We'll see how it goes. :)

A Productive NonProductive Day
Today was a complete wash in some ways and very productive in others. I was planning to do some more house cleaning and purging, as I've been doing all summer, but got totally sidetracked.
I finally pinned my kids down and asked them what time period they'd like to start with this coming school year. I pulled out our Usborne Encyclopedia of World History and thumbed through the 4 time periods. My son (9) immediately said "prehistoric", and that he wanted to study dinosaurs again. Oh yay. Prehistory is NOT my favorite time period!
Asked my daughter (13.5) what she thought and she said she agreed. They both went on to show me all the pics of the weird creatures that they will get to learn about. They're excited!
We've done prehistory and evolution and creation stories before...but it was awhile ago. So, interesting, this is what they want.
So I wasn't excited, but went straight away to the Secular Charlotte Mason Yahoogroup to search for book recommendations. Found a TON!!! And not only that, but I found lots of books on people like Darwin and other people who made prehistoric discoveries, and now I'm excited! There's some cool ideas in here! This could be fun!
So my house didn't get any cleaner, but I got a head start on research for our upcoming school year and I'm excited! I spent hours copying/pasting book recommendations and links. So cool!


text: American Heart Association Cancer Society Proposes $1 Increase In Cigarette Tax By Jess Lasky • Jun 3, 2014 A $1 tax increase could cause 77,000 adults to quit smoking and prevent 85,000 kids from ever starting smoking in Pennsylvania, according to the American Cancer Society. The organization and its affiliate the Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) are partnering with the American Heart Association and the American Lung Association to convince Pennsylvania lawmakers to consider adding a dollar to the $1.60 per pack tax. The groups are saying that the increase could save almost 50,000 lives in Pennsylvania. Take a Walk to Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease, Stroke By Noah Brode & Deanna Garcia • Apr 1, 2013 Wednesday is National Walking Day, and organizers in Pittsburgh are hoping to get people in the good habit of taking a daily constitutional as warmer spring weather begins in the region. Sandy McCurdy, board member of the American Heart Association, said walking is the easiest way to reduce one's risk for heart disease and stroke — two diseases that account for a combined 870,000 deaths in the United States each year.

A disagreement has arisen between the New York State Commission in Lunacy and the Charity Commissioners of New York City regarding the clothing of the insane to be taken charge of by the former board in the Manhattan State Hospital. The latter board is litigating the question of providing new suits of clothes for the lunatics transferred by it to that hospital. Dr. C. F. Macdonald, of the State Commission, defends the exaction of new clothing as follows:
1. To reduce, as far as practicable, the danger of introducing contagious or infectious diseases into the institutions which were then sheltering about 13,000 patients, coming from all the walks of life and in widely different conditions of physical and mental debility, beside some 2,000 employes and over 100 officers, while the yearly admissions of new cases exceeded 2,000.

Police seek teen in high-speed chaseMarch 18,2013UNDERHILL Police are on the lookout for a 19-year-old Vermont man they say led them on a high-speed chase before abandoning his car and running into some woods.
State police said Sunday theyre seeking the publics help in locating Patrick Milliken, of Jericho.
Officials said the chase began around 5 p.m. Saturday when Detective Sgt. Todd Baxter attempted to stop Milliken for speeding in the village of Smugglers Notch.
After initially stopping, Milliken allegedly drove his car at a high speed at Baxters police cruiser before speeding off on Route 108, where he was observed passing cars and driving recklessly.
Officials say Milliken was later spotted in Underhill, where he eventually stopped before running off. Police say a female passenger told them she wanted Milliken to stop, but he wouldnt.MORE IN This Just In

VIRGINIA WATER — Winds gusted at up to 18 mph and spectators sought to avoid the driving rain at every opportunity but a sopping wet West Course at Wentworth provided a golfing sanctuary for Rory McIlroy on Friday.
The Northern Irishman, still hurting after scrapping his planned wedding to Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki, posted a one-under-par 71 in the BMW PGA Championship second round to finish in a challenging position on five-under 139.
"Once you get inside the ropes you're concentrating on your golf and it's almost like four or five hours of a release to get everything out of your head apart from doing the job at hand," McIlroy told reporters at the European Tour's flagship event.
"It's nice. It's the hours in the day when you're away from it that are probably a little more difficult - you can't let your mind wander at all when you're trying to win a golf tournament."
McIlroy did not make the best of starts, mixing two bogeys and a double bogey with a solitary birdie in the opening seven holes.
The world number 10, though, eagled the par-five 12th for the second successive day before rebounding from a dropped stroke at the 13th with a dynamic sequence of three birdies in the last four holes.
"Even the way the conditions were, three-over after seven wasn't great but it wasn't disastrous," said McIlroy.
"I knew I had some chances coming on the back nine. It's sort of been a characteristic of my game for the last few weeks and I knew that I would be okay."
Wentworth has never been a happy hunting ground for the former world number one. He has missed the cut in three out of six starts in the tournament and has a best finish of tied fifth in 2009.
"Five-under-par going into the weekend, when the conditions are pretty tricky, is a good effort," said McIlroy.
"I stood here yesterday saying I would be happy to make the cut and I'm in for the weekend which is nice. Hopefully I can make a run at it.
"I feel like I'm playing well enough to shoot something in the mid-60s, maybe not tomorrow as the weather doesn't look too good, but I'm playing well enough to get myself in the mix going into Sunday," added McIlroy.

SEAL BEACH – A man stole prescription drugs during a robbery at a Seal Beach pharmacy Sunday night, police said.
The robbery was reported at a 24-hour CVS store in the 920 block of Pacific Coast Highway just after 7 p.m.
The man, reportedly in his 50s or 60s, demanded prescription drugs from an on-duty pharmacist, threatening that he had a handgun, Seal Beach police Sgt. Steve Bowles said.
The man fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of prescription drugs before officers arrived. No injuries were reported, and no weapon was seen.
Authorities described the robber as a man, 6 feet tall to 6-foot-2, with gray hair and a medium build. He was reportedly wearing dark clothing during the robbery.
Police are asking anyone with information about the robbery to call the Seal Beach Police Department at 562-799-4115 or detective Sgt. Ron LaVelle at 562-799-4100, Ext. 1112.

Clyde C Cox Elementary School Reviews
Reviewed on
This is a title one school. Unfortunately, because of budget cuts in the Vegas area, staff had to be cut as well. There are four kinder classes and each class has 33 students, way too many for the teachers especially since they do not have teacher's aides in place. This is unfortunate in that many of the children in these classes have language difficulties with little or no help at home

Savoury pancakes are easy to do, and make suppertime special. Try our recipes for Chinese pancakes, savoury pancake fillings, mushroom pancakes, savoury crepes and more.
These savoury pancakes are made with half wholemeal flour to be light yet higher in fibre. Mushrooms, ham, spinach and cheese make a tasty and easy filling.
This recipe is from an old family recipe book. I'm sharing it to ensure that it lives on and on. And also, so that others can enjoy it. The original recipe called for fresh sweetcorn, but good fresh sweetcorn is not always readily available, so I modified it to use tinned sweetcorn.
Pancakes are too good for Shrove Tuesday alone. These baked Italian-style pancakes, with a piquant pork filling, are enjoyable any time of the year. Try serving with Sauté of Spring Vegetables with Herbs or Brussels Sprouts with Mustard and Cumin (on this website).
These are a very welcome change. Great with maple syrup or cranberry sauce.
Make your favourite crepes into a satisfying dinner with this easy savoury crepe recipe. Try shredded leftover chicken instead of ham for a tasty variation, perfect for using leftover chicken from a roast.
A richly flavoured sauce complements seafood wrapped in chive pancakes in this healthy version of a classic dish. Serve with broccoli florets or another green vegetable.
This is a fun and tasty twist for Pancake Day, or for a midweek supper any day of the year! Easy and delicious.
For all those who love savoury pancakes, this is your recipe. Pancakes are one of my favourite foods and I like them in any form - these spinach and cheese pancakes make a delicious dinner anytime of year.
Creamy goat's cheese and fresh spinach form a glorious partnership in this cross between a thick, spanish-style omelette and a pancake.
It's always a treat to have pancakes. These high-fibre, oaty mini ones are mildly spicy and packed with juicy sweetcorn and peas. Serve with a simple salad for a nutritious casual meal.

Denver's Linas Kleiza will start Game 2 on Wednesday in the Nuggets-Lakers series, coach George Karl announced Tuesday. The 6-foot-8 Kleiza will replace 6-2 Anthony Carter, giving Denver more size and scoring in the lineup.
"It's definitely an opportunity, but it comes with a lot of responsibility," said Kleiza, who scored 23 points in Denver's Game 1 loss on Sunday. "And a great opportunity can be taken away fast."
Denver center Marcus Camby, meanwhile, finished second in the voting for the NBA's top defensive player, an award he won last season.
Boston's Kevin Garnett, credited for leading the Celtics' hard-nosed defense, won the award for the first time in his 12-season career. Garnett finished with 90 of the 124 first-place votes, while Denver's Camby had 12, the second-most first-place votes.
"If I was going to lose it to anyone, I'd rather it be K.G.," said Camby, who averaged 13.1 rebounds and a league-high 3.61 blocks.
"He's a guy who hasn't won it before. Even though I think my defensive numbers this year were a whole lot better than last year when I won the award. Four blocks and 13 rebounds, I'll take that."

Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Carrie! I'm sorry this product wasn't your favorite. I double checked the scent of the loaves we have in stock and found them to be the right level of fragrance. Vanilla is not a scent that will hit you in its face with its strength like something similar to Lavender would, which smells stronger of fragrance. I'm sorry was not as moisturizing as the soap you make, which sounds lovely! Though, this is a basic bar of soap. If you're looking for something with more premium ingredients to supplement your soap with you may like our Luxury Grated Rebatch Soap. I will email you personally to discuss this further.

Letter to the editor: Applause for the 'Seven Project'
Applause for 'Seven Project'
To the editor:
I was very surprised when I read the May 11 article in The Mirror on the school district considering policy changes based on the "Seven Project." The article focused on a "supposed" controversy surrounding the Seven Project.
I am extremely concerned the school board would begin rewriting the school policy because a select few parents complained about the event. If this attitude was taken toward school lunches, I suppose the board would be rewriting the school menu every week! Why can't the board stand up tall and show some backbone. Maybe the problem is not the school policy, but lack of understanding by certain parents.
Instead of exploring this option, the board "cowed down" and demonstrated a complete lack of vision and weak commitment toward building a better school system. Now a new policy will be written until another parent complains (never mind the 90 percent of parents that think the system is working).
In addition, The Mirror article should have been written to applaud all those involved in the Seven Project. Several churches joined together to support the local school and help teenagers with the real life issues they contend with. Surely they deserve some thanks?
Since it is apparent that no one else will say it, I will. To all of you who were involved in the Seven Project: Thank you. Thank you for taking an interest in the kids of this community and putting your time and money in line with what you say and believe. I think others should take notes and start helping build up our community and our schools, instead of tearing down good, healthy programs because of "religious" sponsorship.

Former UCLA player Reeves Nelson is suing Sports Illustrated for defamation, false light and intentional infliction of emotional distress over its recent article about problems in the school's basketball program. The story titled "Not the UCLA Way" initially appeared Feb. 28 on the magazine's website and then in its March 5 print edition. The lawsuit includes sworn statements from 18 former teammates of Nelson's. They attest that the article's general description of Nelson as a "psychotic bully" is false. Nelson was dismissed from the team last December by coach Ben Howland after twice being suspended for insubordinate behavior during the season.
Prosecutors finally have some momentum in their perjury case against Roger Clemens, even if it means dragging in reluctant witness David Segui. The former major leaguer is expected to say that sometime around 2001 he was told by Clemens' strength coach, Brian McNamee, that McNamee had saved evidence from injections of players to placate a nagging wife, who feared her husband would become the fall guy if his involvement with drugs in baseball were ever exposed.

Local developers hope SoBro plan spurs infill construction
Many Nashvillians want sleek hotels, public art, mixed-used buildings and pocket parks to fuel SoBro's future.
But unlike rank-and-file locals and tourists who interact with the fast-changing area south of Broadway, it is the city's development community that might have the most at stake in that future.
Collectively, those development pros seek a vastly overhauled SoBro infrastructure — everything from traffic light poles to overhead/underground utilities (as shown in the accompanying photo) to properly aligned streets — that they hope will spur quality infill construction.
"Making sure that there is a well-conceived plan for infrastructure is key to the SoBro master plan," said Wood Caldwell, a principal with the Development Services Division of Southeast Venture. "It will define how the whole master plan works."
Since March, a team led by Pittsburgh-based Urban Design Associates and including Nashville entities Civil Design Group, Hawkins Partners, Smith Gee Studio and Varallo Public Relations has been working on that master plan, courtesy of a $400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration. The team will present a final plan by late January.
After three months of community meetings, workshops and hands-on interactive sessions with the public, a final community meeting is slated for Tuesday, Dec. 4, from 5-7 p.m. in Room 206 of the Nashville Convention Center.
Many developers and architects have attended the previous meetings. Not surprisingly, they feel a key driver of infill will be civic spaces that are welcoming, Caldwell said.
"Now is the time to plan for public spaces such as parks and hardscapes," he said. "In the big picture, this is what will really bring value to the area — especially for future high-density residential development."
"Layering in pocket parks and public art will create interest in the downtown area and get people excited and motivated to live downtown," Caldwell added.
To entice developers to build in SoBro, many believe the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency will need to offer tax increment financing incentives. Three MDHA-overseen redevelopment districts — Arts Center, Capitol Mall and Rutledge Hill — overlap segments of SoBro. Currently, MDHA has $50.3 million worth of tax increment financing (TIF) money, approved by the Metro Council, it can provide to developers doing work in those districts.
"The city has to get aggressive with TIF financing to give developers incentive to come downtown and build," Caldwell said.
John Tirrill, managing partner with Atlanta-based SWH Residential Partners, agreed but stressed any future TIF-driven private project should be something usable by the general public, much like the under-construction Omni Nashville Hotel (which is benefiting from various Metro incentives) will be.
"Any TIF money should be spent on projects that truly benefit the public," said Tirrill, who is working on a Rolling Mill Hill development that will need MDHA Design Review Committee approval. "I do believe that it would be good to have additional TIF money available for the Arts Center Redevelopment District and that those responsible for managing the TIF program must be good stewards of the money for the public."
Over the years, various downtown proponents have advocated Metro constructing a viaduct to connect Division and Ash streets, in the process more effectively linking the Gulch to Rutledge Hill/Rolling Mill Hill.
"It would definitely be nice," Tirrill said. [But] I would want to study the overall transportation plan in more detail before setting priorities."
Aaron White, principal and co-founder of Nashville-based Evergreen Real Estate, ranked SoBro plan priorities as follows: 1. sufficient parking for future retail; 2. buildings that interact with sidewalks; 3. proper lighting to maximize pedestrian and motorist safety and security; and 4. street-level architectural standards.
He also listed improved street realignment (the awkwardly situated Lea Avenue and Peabody Street are examples of streets needing work) and structured parking as very important to driving future SoBro growth.
"If street flow and parking are not intuitive, it will hurt the area," said White, adding he would favor TIF money only for public parking, retail and historic rehab (and not for hotels, office buildings and residential structures).
Southeast Venture's Caldwell said Mayor Karl Dean and his administration have done "a great job" promoting downtown. He said the soon-to-be-launched Music City Center convention facility and the Omni have created a buzz among developers. Now a long-term plan is needed.
"It's important that the SoBro master plan gives developers a clear roadmap," he said, "specifically spelling out what they can and can't do."
