Creative Kids Playhouse Children's Theatre of Orange County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing fun theatre opportunities for children, and entertaining children's theatre productions for the community. Every child can experience the exhilaration of performing. Every child can enjoy the theatre experience!
We are an education-based organization. Our focus is not on the overall production as much as it is on making sure that each individual student has a GREAT experience. In our opinion, that makes for a great show!
Our most important core value is that the children in the cast have fun, learn, and feel proud, happy, and confident in a job well done at the end of each show. The exhilaration of successfully performing a rehearsed piece on stage and receiving feedback afterward is one of the largest affirmations of worth and achievement that a child can get, similar to winning a scholastic award or athletic championship. Realizing that they have talents worth applause is a lesson in self worth that can provide life long benefits. Musical theatre helps children with reading skills, memorization skills, public speaking, music and movement, imagination and creativity, self-discipline, problem-solving, and working as a team. These moments instill the value of working hard to achieve a goal, and inspire them to aim even higher in the future. We are unique in that we work hard to give every member of the cast a moment in the spotlight. In our mainstage shows, every part is a speaking part.

Peter Rabbit
– and has been hooked ever since.

Oleanna, Happy Journey To Trenton And Camden, Fifth Of July,
Matthew Lopez's
. Mary Zimmerman is quoted as saying, "They don't call it a play for nothing. We think of 'play' as a noun. 'I'm going to see a play' We forget that it's also a verb." He passionately believes that theatre has magical powers to nurture young people as they learn, grow, explore, and play!

Angela Capps, Senior Staff Member, Creative Team
An Orange County native, Angela fell in love with acting, singing and dancing as a toddler, often performing anywhere she could. After high school, she began studying Fine Arts in college, but her overwhelming love for performing convinced her to move to Los Angeles and pursue acting professionally. She spent 3 years studying at Playhouse West and Improv Olympic and performed in over 40 Los Angeles plays and several independent films. It was while doing improv that her ambition as an actress began to change. She knew she loved working with children and realized that her dream was actually to be a member of the Wiggles more than it was to be a movie star. She became a Preschool Music Teacher at Grace Christian School and is currently developing a children's comedic, musical web show, where she stars as Mrs. Buttercup. She is starting a family with her husband and is currently in college studying Music Education. With her passion for acting, musical theatre, production, comedy and working with children, she is thrilled and honored to be a part of Creative Kids Playhouse since December, 2013.
Lisa Baker has been playing some type of instrument since she was 7 years old and comes from a very musical family. That naturally led her to becoming a music teacher for Grace Elementary in Lake Forest, where she has been teaching since 2007. Lisa particularly loves directing musicals in which she has previously performed. Lisa actively enjoys the spotlight herself, performing in numerous stage productions across Southern California for the much of her adult life. She has actually shared the stage with her husband and two children! Lisa is doing what she loves- sharing her love of music and theater with the next generation. Lisa creates a creative, welcoming and fun atmosphere for the students, that encourages them to stretch themselves and try new things. She is delighted to be part of the wonderful group of creative and talented people that make up Creative Kids Playhouse, and jumped right in by helping direct two full length musicals beginning in January, 2014.

The only revolvers I am familiar with in 45ACP are the S&W Model 25 a large N-Frame revolver. The other is the Ruger Blackhawk 45LC/45ACP that uses interchangeable cylinders and it too is a large revolver. Neither would be suitable for pocket carry.

I only have one revolver( colt buntline 45), but was wondering if they make a smaller acp45 da revolver possible for pocket carry. I have gotten started and now want a revolver. I have a decent supply of acp45 and .380 ammo so wanted to stick with these calibers. I think sw has one but it looks fairly big. Any ideas would be appreciated.

When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
The S&W revolvers are all built on the relatively large N frame. There are some short-barreled and light weight models, but overall these are going to be too big for pocket carry unless you're Andre the Giant.
I'd wager that someone could take a Charter .44 and modify it for .45 ACP, but that's a lot of work and cost for a questionable tradeoff in downrange effectiveness. Otherwise, I think you're looking for a unicorn.
I'd steer you toward compact .45 autos, like the Kahr CW45 or Glock 36. Both are also too big for convenient pocket carry, but both are quite compact and offer 6+1 capacity.

I have an xds 45 and love it, but just have an urge for another revolver. Any good .380 ones? Maybe this urge will pass. My wife keeps saying, I thought you said that you were done.
Revolvers converted for auto rounds never really caught on. I have seen a few for the 9mm over the years but don't recall any for the acp45.
You would be looking at one bulky weapon.

When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
I think a company called double tap has a interesting little pistol
...S&W 625-10 is scarce...but was a great idea...don't think it's in production now...can't in good conscience recommend the Taurus snub...
All of the S&W .45s are N (large) frame guns. If you don't mind Taurus, they used to make a medium frame 5 shot .45acp revolver you might look around on gunbroker for one. I had one for a while, it was a solid, decently built gun.
"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge or jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - LtCol Jeff Cooper
I've handled the Taurus 380 revolver and it felt and looked cheap compared to the fit and finish of my Ruger revolvers. I don't know if they make it anymore though. The S&W 45ACP revolvers are going to be way too big for pocket carry.
"Was there no end to the conspiracy of irrational prejudice against Red Ryder and his peacemaker?"
Revolvers, more elegant weapons for a more civilized age.
All in all S&W revolvers in .45 ACP have certainly been the most popular and prolific revolvers chambered for auto cartridges over the years and are fairly easy to find either new or used.
Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion... in private self-defense.
John Adams (Americas 2nd US President)
The various Smith & Wesson .45 ACP revolvers produced through the years are lovely handguns but, even if they have snub barrel lengths, are too large for practical pocket carry.
Charter Member of the DC .41 LC Society "Get heeled! No really"
No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.
Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter, 1893
For pocket carry, none unless you have some unusual pockets.
Chose a weapon that goes bang EVERY time!
The smallest .45 ACP revolver that I know is the S&W model 325PD, which is a 21 ounce gun with scandium frame and titanium cylinder, having a 2.5 inch barrel. It was manufactured during the period 2004 to 2006 and is 7.25 inches long. It is a fairly large gun for a snubby, given its 6 round cylinder and the diameter of .45 ACP ammo. I think it would conceal very nicely on the belt under a cover garment, but doubt if it would work in a normal pocket. Here is a picture and a YouTube video of the gun:

If you haven't been to Medina lately, there's a good chance it's because of the crime wave that has seized the tony Lakeside suburb. It's like the first half of a bad Charles Bronson movie. Fortunately, though, the police department knows that the best way to solve that is not via the mustachioed shitkicker the French called "Monstre Sacre" ("Holy Monster")--sadly, he's dead--but rather via the ubiquitous cameras provided in other fictional examples, the sorts of examples Amazon's likely to lift from your Kindle under cover of night.
Sorry, Charles: We use cameras now.
The suburb will have the surveillance cameras everywhere, reports KOMO, in an article that confuses burglaries (breaking into a house or building with the intention of committing a crime) with robberies (using violence or the threat of violence to steal another's property).
For a little perspective, know that in the last two years, Medina has had 17 burglaries and 1 robbery. Which is 17 and 1 too many. Hence the cameras, of which they may need 18,000 to address the current crime wave. (They won't, however, be abused, the police chief asserts, without providing specifics--and the reporter appears not to ask for any.) Either way, the closing implies that the cameras' mere presence should be enough to deter the crime. Maybe Phinney should look into buying a few.

Skip to comments.The G.O.P.s Nasty Newcomer (Ted Cruz)
Posted on 02/15/2013 6:32:33 PM PST by reaganaut1
WHEN a Vesuvius like John McCain tells you that you belch too much smoke and spew too much fire, you know youve got a problem.
And Ted Cruz, a Republican freshman in the Senate who has been front and center in his partys effort to squash Chuck Hagels nomination as secretary of defense, has a problem. Hes an ornery, swaggering piece of work. Just six weeks since his arrival on Capitol Hill, hes already known for his naysaying, his nit-picking and his itch to upbraid lawmakers who are vastly senior to him, who have sacrificed more than he has and who deserve a measure of respect, or at least an iota of courtesy. Courtesy isnt Cruzs métier. Grandstanding and browbeating are.
He sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and during its final meeting on Tuesday about Hagels nomination, he made such nefarious and hectoring insinuations about Hagels possible corruption by foreign influences that McCain, whod gleefully raked Hagel over the coals himself, more or less told Cruz to cool it. It was an unforgettable moment, and one that Republicans shouldnt soon forget, because Cruz, 42, isnt simply the latest overeager beaver to start gnawing his way through the halls of Congress. Hes a prime illustration of what plagues the Republican Party and holds it back.
A fascinating illustration, too. On the surface, he should be part of the solution: young, Latino, with a hardscrabble family story including his fathers imprisonment in Cuba and escape to the United States. But Republicans who look to him and see any kind of savior overlook much of what drags the party down, which isnt merely or even principally the genealogy of their candidates. Its the intransigent social conservatism, the whiff of meanness and the showy eruptions.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
John McCain as Vesuvius? Only in the sense that both produce mostly gas. I'm loving Cruz more and more.
Indeed, indeed. GOP needs more Cruzes and less McCains and Grahams.
As an anti-Commie he was great but on spending he was kind of a Rino. In his early politics he was a New Deal Democrat. He was known as a porker in the Senate. .
a badge of honor
Ted is doing his job-—he is representing the people who elected him—something few in congress are doing so it seems.
Because they have never grown out of the juvenile state and they are still rebelling against their parents' values in order to assert themselves. Their dichotomy is they want to be treated as adults while they are unwilling to assume any responsibilities for their own actions and their own support.
I'm from Texas. I voted for Ted Cruz.
Mr. Bruni, your tears are sweet like candy to me.
To the rest of you: you're welcome.
"and his itch to upbraid lawmakers who are vastly senior to him, who have sacrificed more than he has and who deserve a measure of respect, or at least an iota of courtesy. Courtesy isnt Cruzs métier. Grandstanding and browbeating are."
That line right there made me want to barf up my breakfast and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. LOL
Sacrificed more is right. Those senior lawbreakers have sacrificed our liberty and our money. They deserve NO courtesy at all! I don't respect those senoir lawmakers because they think they rule instead of serving the public.
Just six weeks since his arrival on Capitol Hill, hes already known for his naysaying, his nit-picking and his itch to upbraid lawmakers who are vastly senior to him, who have sacrificed more than he has and who deserve a measure of respect, or at least an iota of courtesy.
Just six weeks since his arrival on Capitol Hill, He already stands out for his hard work, standing up for those who elected him, making more senior lawmakers look lazy, who have sacrificed more of their morals, ethics, and campaign promises, and deserve a least an iota of pity.
You are 100% right on target, WVNan!
We all need to make certain that Senator Cruz knows that he has our full support! He sure is doing a great job of supporting US and our freedom!
Being "smeared" by the NYT is a badge of honor. If the Republican Party is to survive, they need to find more people like Ted Cruz and stand on principle. The old RINOs need to be replaced by true conservatives.
Same here. He got two votes from our household. I think he won our precinct by 80 - 20 margin.
The New York Times is truly a bunch of slimes. When would they every permit such an article against a new democrat?
(I know, boring, everyone knows that.)
And the squeaky wheel gets their slime — their anti-grooming slime.
We Texans elected Senator Cruz, and we want him to do his job just like he is doing it.
Our Senators have every right and responsibility to immediately aggressively represent their views in Congress. That is why we elected them. They do not have to wait years before they say or do anything. We the People do NOT play games with "seniority." There is no such thing as a "Senior Senator."
Texas Senators and Representatives will not defer to those from other states because of the CHILDHOOD game of seniority. All are equal. Rules in the Senate and House should change to reflect that. (So stop electing McCain, Arizona, hint-hint.)
If FRANK BRUNI and "The New York Slimes" has a problem with Senator Cruz, then it has a problem with the sovereign duty of the State of Texas to work aggressively in Congress during these dark times. And it makes him and the slimes wrongheaded ELITISTS.
But they don't care that they are elitists or wrong. They probably don't even believe what they publish. This is all part of the standard Alinsky "anti-grooming" that they conduct all the time on behalf of "the regime."
And it is certainly a sign of Senator Cruz's effectiveness that his squeaky wheel gets their anti-grooming slime.

The Teddy Loafer
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RosieRose Super Cute Gave me some horrible blisters on the first wear (as with most new flats), but it was worth it for how adorable they are. Go great with a pair of skinny jeans. December 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by katieae Love Like other Madewell loafers, these shoes feel like butter. First time I wore them they ate of my feet a little but that comes with every new pair of shoes, right? November 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Samantha111 great loafer I normally buy a 9 1/2 in madewell flats, but decided to get the 9 in these because the toe is not pointy like the flats. They fit perfectly and are really comfortable. December 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by hiermill Great Fall Additio These loafers are so pretty in color. The leather is really great quality and they're quite comfortable. The sizing runs a bit big on me, as do most Madewell items. Overall, I say if you like em, buy em. September 27, 2013

Artists of the Year
Craig Zobel
Craig Zobel's Great World of Sound premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007 and emerged as one of the best films of the year, establishing Zobel as a filmmaker to keep a close eye on.
Zobel's debut feature follows two naive "talent scouts" who are working for a small, independent music label. They travel state to state in search of determined and eager (but mostly talentless) musicians, and ask them to make a down payment for a recording session and their chance at fame. With the promise of turning singles into gold records, passive Martin (Pat Healy) and boisterous Clarence (Kene Holliday) become unintentional swindlers for the Great World of Sound music label.
Zobel's film doesn't have any marquee names, gaudy special effects, or explosive action sequences, but it has an ingredient that's missing more than ever in most current American (independent or Hollywood) films: the elegant art of storytelling. Zobel and co-writer George Smith deftly weave together an admirable story about hardworking salesmen attempting to decipher the two-headed definition of success and the universal malaise of desperation. Great World of Sound also garners some huge laughs from scenes of American Idol-like tryouts in seedy motel rooms as each performer tries to achieve his 15 minutes of fame.
Zobel's own moment of fame could last a while longer: He recently won the Breakthrough Director Award at the Gotham Awards in New York, and GWOS has been nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards, including Best First Feature and Best Supporting Actor (Holliday).

How 'Atmospherics' Can Differentiate Retail Outlets: How a Consumer Is Influenced by Atmospheric Factors-Music, Colours, Smells-Is the Subject of Much Conjecture. What Follows Is a Guide on How to Monitor These Effects and How Some Factors Can Influence Spending Patterns
Turley, Louis, European Business Forum
Over 40 years ago, psychologists like Abraham Maslow noted that people performed tasks better when asked to do them in aesthetically pleasing environments. During the 1960s researchers began manipulating the design and arrangement of the retail environment and concluded that these changes have an effect on shoppers and their shopping behaviour. Since that time practitioners have become increasingly concerned with creating retail environments that are conducive to increased spending on goods. Recently, for example, major retail chains have been standardising the look of their stores by using identical design schemes, called prototypes, often designed by outside consultants trained in environmental psychology and architecture.
The physical characteristics and features used to develop an image and customer appeal are called atmospherics in goods--related retailing and servicescapes in the services sector. Atmospheric effects are the physiological and psychological reactions or impressions a consumer forms from the physical elements associated with the store. I have looked at 60 previous studies which underscore the types of behaviours which managers can influence in their customers. They include the use of: varying music styles and tempos (shown to affect sales in supermarkets, impulse purchasing in department stores, emotional responses to waiting in banks, sales in wine shops and sales in a restaurant); store window displays; lighting (shown positively to influence the number of items handled by shoppers); ambient odours: store layout; and merchandise arrangements.
Most studies on this topic have adopted a consumer behaviour perspective, and provide only cursory discussion of managerial issues and concerns for atmospheric design. Moreover, those few exceptions tend to adopt the large chain store perspective and assume that there are people in the organisation that specialise in store design and atmosphere creation. They neglect the smaller, entrepreneurial retail firm which lacks these specialists.
What follows is therefore aimed at these non-specialists and describes an approach for conducting so called atmospheric audits--an in-depth and systematic examination and evaluation of the retail selling environment. Recommendations and guidelines for business owners and entrepreneurs to use in creating and controlling successful and effective retail selling environments will also be presented.
Conducting an atmospheric audit
Atmospheric audits are most pertinent in cases where the customer has the most intimate experience of the selling environment, ie when he or she actually goes to the organisation, as opposed to cases where the organisation goes to the customer or the organisation and the customer transacts at arm's length, such as over the internet.
Exhibit 1 provides a broad 'checklist' of those elements that make up the retail and service environment and groups them into five areas: external variables, general interior variables, layout and design variables, point-of-purchase and decoration variables, and human variables (Turley and Milliman 2000).
Although Exhibit 1 has a broad variety of atmospheric variables, it is not a comprehensive listing since different types of businesses use very different atmospheric variables. Entrepreneurs in particular should not be afraid to go off the list shown in Exhibit 1 and be unique and creative. Those little atmospheric quirks can be what consumers remember about a store.
The first step in conducting an atmospheric audit is systematically to evaluate and record the evaluation of each of the variables listed in Exhibit 1. For example, the first item is exterior signs. All exterior signs on the premises would be examined and after looking at all of them the auditor would evaluate them for consistency, effectiveness and the potential influence on the consumer's image of the retail store.
After examining each of these variables, the auditor would then write general comments about each of the five areas. …

Researchers Discover Gender-based Differences In Alzheimer's Disease
CHICAGO, Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- All patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) lose brain cells, which leads to a shrinking, or atrophy, of the brain. But the pattern of gray matter loss is significantly different in men and women, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). "We found that the extent and distribution of regional gray matter volume loss in the brain was strongly influenced by gender," said lead researcher Maria Vittoria Spampinato, M.D., associate professor of radiology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.According to the Alzheimer's Association, 5.4 million Americans have AD, the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. Currently, there is no cure for AD, which lends urgency to research efforts designed to better understand, diagnose and treat this devastating illness. "There is a strong interest in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess brain atrophy with the purpose of monitoring dementia progression noninvasively and to aid in understanding which factors can influence brain atrophy progression and distribution in the Alzheimer's brain," Dr. Spampinato said. In the study, Dr. Spampinato and colleagues analyzed data on 109 patients, including 60 men and 49 women (mean age 77), who participated in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), a major study that followed hundreds of cognitively healthy individuals and individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD over a period of five years. During the five-year period, each of the 109 patients progressed from amnestic MCI (in which the patient suffers memory loss but maintains cognitive function) to AD. Using MR images of the patients' brains taken when they were diagnosed with AD and 12 months before and after the diagnosis, the researchers created brain maps that illustrated gray matter changes.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

KMurph81 Aug 10, 2012 8:49 AM
in response to Fred Ochs
This happens to me after a couple months of establishing a radio favourites list (just happened today actually).
The only thing I've been able to do is recreate the list by dragging my favs back into my radio playlist and delete the old ones. This isn't a big deal if you've only got 8 stations like I do, but if you've got dozens (or hundreds!), that's hugely annoying. It's as if they get 'stale' after awhile... as if 'alias' or link that's created when you move items into the playlist quits working?? My music playlists haven't been affected this way.
This didn't start happening til... hmmm... late 2011 I think. I'm not a very careful documenter of these things. Currently have version 10.6.3.
Fred Ochs Aug 10, 2012 8:59 AM
in response to KMurph81
I'm on the same version. Glad I'm not alone, but it would be nice to know about a fix.
JimmyTheExploder Aug 10, 2012 7:49 PM
in response to Fred Ochs
Same thing is happening to me. I'm running Windows 7 and have iTunes version 10.6.3. Grrrrrrr.
BigDutches Aug 11, 2012 4:38 AM
in response to Fred Ochs
This is something Apple did. You'll see "it is no longr avilable thru the Apple store" posted if you hit the INFO link.
This is either a way to stop people from using free music streams or the music industry has forced apple to stop. This is happening on all my machines. I hope It's not all about money. Explodes the iTunes "best" myth to oblivion.
KMurph81 Aug 11, 2012 9:25 AM
in response to BigDutches
If this is correct, that there's a perception that using free streams compromised music industry profits, then they're biting themselves in the proverbial derriere. I've bought way more music (and all from itunes) as a direct result of hearing new material on the streaming stations even than when I primarily listened to mainstream radio! sheesh.
JimmyTheExploder Aug 11, 2012 3:49 PM
in response to Fred Ochs
So my existing favorite radio stations stopped working from the "Favorite Radio Stations" folder a few days ago. I can re-add those same stations into that folder and they'll play again, so this contradicts what BigDutches said. Does anyone have a link to specific info from Apple that says they're trying to prevent people from creating their own folders of radio stations?
KMurph81 Aug 11, 2012 4:29 PM
in response to JimmyTheExploder
I can't find anything recent from apple addressing this issue at all (except for coming across Fred's question) regarding why the behaviour is happening etc. The fact that a) the fav list can be reinstated; b) the original 'non fav' list still plays; and c) there seems to be an increase in this behaviour over the past few days would seem to indicate a software bug in this version of itunes than a proprietary issue. If it was a matter of proprietary use, then surely they (apple) would remove the streaming stations altogether or start charging to listen (heaven forbid!). But I'm no techie, and def no lawyer!
Ashka Aug 11, 2012 4:36 PM
in response to Fred Ochs
Stale links are fairly common in any bookmark folders
The iTunes sidebar Radio option and all the stations still available in the latest iTunes on OSX 10.8 Mountain lion.
Deborah Terreson Aug 11, 2012 6:23 PM
in response to KMurph81
As Ashka stated, links go old and the server will stop replying to them and sending you a stream. That's the quick story but there's more going on, and my thoughts are a DNS snafu somewhere.
The Radio Tuner lists have changed in the last few days - stations disapppearing in all categories which leads me to believe there's been a listing update that many streaming stations aren't aware of..
I'm killing myself now as well, as for whatever reason my iTunes 2.0.4 (on OS 9.2.2 - yes, I *know*, but I need to use it with a Nikon CoolScan 3000) no longer lists any radio stations and only the ones I pulled off of websites today (that I could get to with the Classilla browser) are working now.
Fred Ochs Aug 11, 2012 7:14 PM
in response to Deborah Terreson
I'm not buying stale links as the source of the problem because (1) they all went stale on the same day, That make no sense and (2) when I deleted one from the favorites and then dragged it back in there from the regular list, it worked for a while (I'm talking maybe 60 minutes) and then failed again. Nothing goes stale that fast except good French bread.
KMurph81 Aug 11, 2012 7:42 PM
in response to Fred Ochs
That is hilarious Fred! I'll have to test that (the links, that is... no good French bread around the house sadly)...
I haven't been listening to radio streaming this weekend...

I have 2 identical mirrored, machines running, home and office. Both happened same day. OOpps. But, if you play a radio station downloded with the link from the original station, these play. It's only the stations dragged from the Apple pick lists. I think they inadvertanly reassigned links in coding.
I have seen small coding issues that were corrected after mistakes by update programmers who didn't test the software updates completely. Apple is probably the best at quality control, but I remember one case where they had to roll out an update (note they don't call it a patch) in a week to correct a .jpg preview problem. Not sure if it was an overzealous legal team issue or what.
Mysteriously seems like the same thing. In the last case, It would pop up with a permission statement each time, even if it was your photo. After calling, they said, dah, it must be me. Waddya know, 1 week later it was fixed. No pop-up.
Could this be just what KMurph81 said. always about money? I think Apple introduced a "softfart." A fart in the software. Hopefully this too will pass, without much smell.

Well yey, my work computer's fav radio stations are indeed dead in the water again today. So much for my tidy little temp solution. My HOME computer's radio favs however, still working. Same OS and same itunes versions both places. Let's hope BigDutches is correct, that it will be corrected, even if quietly 'sf' in the background...

OK, my Apple Tv still has stream links. I think they screwed up unintentionally. Wait a week. I have faith. Apple needs to get the message.

7 Investment Accounts All 30-Somethings Should Have
Face-Off on Stocks: Jakks Pacific, Hasbro, Mattel
The nation's three biggest department-store operators have been disproportionately pinched by the downturn in consumer spending. That's what happens when you're stuck in the middle of the retail-price spectrum during a period of sagging home values and lofty unemployment.
With gold prices going gangbusters, there's no shortage of ways to play the precious metal. But if you're really looking for some action (as well as some potential downside protection), individual gold-mining picks have the best shot to outperform.

The $10,000 Sony VPL-VW350ES is the least expensive true 4K projector available, and it finally delivers on the promise of 4K resolution.
Sony's VPL-VW600ES is far from the entry-level 4K projector we were expecting to see, but it should boast excellent image quality.
The Sony VPL-HW50ES costs more than most TVs, but for a fantastic big-screen cinema experience in the home it's a very good value.
Sony's two new receivers, in partnership with Control4, are the first consumer receivers to feature built-in home automation functionality.
The Sony BDV-E770W is one of the best Blu-ray home theater systems we've tested, with excellent sound quality, tons of streaming-media options, 3D compatibility, and wireless rear speakers. The lack of HDMI inputs is the only big omission.
It lacks some standard mainstream laptop features, including an integrated Webcam and multimedia control buttons, but the Sony Vaio VGN-NR498 holds some appeal thanks to its decent performance, good battery life, and excellent keyboard. Still, there's a cheaper version of this Vaio laptop we like better.
Kudos to Sony for releasing the sub-$1,000 VAIO NR160. It's a perfectly functional, budget 15-inch laptop--we just wish it didn't stray so far from the excellent industrial design of the company's more expensive systems.
With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface, and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
The Sony VPL-ES2 impressed us with its style rather than its substance, though its video capabilities are best-in-class.

The French (and Veterinarians) Are Different From You and Me
I saw this print at my vet's yesterday; the bathroom has a series of signed prints by a French artist showing dogs peeing. OK, whatever, Europeans, but one of the prints was worth noting:
How often do you get to see a dog checking out dog prostitutes? He's like, "Homina, homina: dog prostitutes," and his owner's like, "Oh no you don't," and they're like, "How-how, big boy."
This detail is particularly weird:

A mystery in which two women vie for the affections of an opera producer will be presented this week at East Central University.
"Type O Negative," written and directed by ECU faculty member Dr. Bret Jones, will run Thursday through Saturday [NOV. 29, 30 & DEC. 1] in the Black Box Theatre in Science Hall. The doors open at 7:30 p.m. The play is free to the public but seating is limited.
The production is a senior project for Catie Caton and Kelli Lowe.
In the play, Peggy Forrester, the opera producer's ex-wife, has set up an elaborate hoax to make the producer's new fling, Dana Kennedy, believe that Peggy has killed her. The end of Act One has Dana passing out on the couch with the audience believing that Peggy has killed her rival.
Act Two opens four months later with a very much alive Dana in Peggy's apartment. When Dana realized that a hoax had been played on her, she set out to create one of her own. She has Peggy believing that the producer has been killed, with all evidence pointing toward Peggy.
With the two now "even" with each other, there is no alternative for them but murder -for each other.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Falling Gold (GLD) and Silver (SLV) prices should not come as a shocker, unless maybe you haven't paid attention to real inflation, or the lack thereof. I know gold bugs continuously point their collective finger at the central banks of the world and declare, like Paul Revere riding through the night: "Inflation is coming; inflation is coming!"Unfortunately for the gold perma-bulls, they haven't figured out that although central banks may be the most influential gold-price influence, central banks are only one of many. Outside of central banks, energy prices impact inflation the most.
However, simply reviewing the money-supply growth (in an information vacuum) and reaching a conclusion that the price of gold will continue to increase, is purely tunnel vision. There is so much more that makes up the price of gold, and each factor must be given its proper weight. Gold investors have a whopping case of the confirmation-bias flu. I wrote about it in several articles. In Don't Walk, Run Away From Gold, Silver, I warned that metals didn't have a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. I warned that gold buyers were ignoring the downside warning signs while giving too much weight to bullish indications. More recently, I wrote about miners in How Far Down Can the Miners Go? and my timing was obviously perfect. The article was published shortly before the open of one of the strongest moves higher by Allied Nevada Gold (ANV) in a long time. Allied was trading lower before metals took their momentous dive, and I considered Allied Nevada Gold to be a value buy there.

Archived Story
Buchanan's Smith wins national honorPublished 5:51pm Thursday, November 29, 2012
Veteran Buchanan Athletic Director Fred Smith was recently awarded the 2012 Frank Kovaleski Professional Development Award by the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association.
Smith will receive the award at the Dec. 18 43rd National Athletic Directors Conference in San Antonio. It will be the 28th consecutive national conference Smith has attended.
"I knew I was nominated for it, but I didn't expect it," Smith said. "Each region gets to nominate one, and there are eight regions. There are a lot of good ADs across the country. You don't get into this for honors. You are just appreciative when they come your way."
The Frank Kovaleski Professional Development Award is given each year to a member who who possesses and has contributed to the vision of professional development – the legacy of Frank Kovaleski – and who has made significant contributions and demonstrated excellence in professional development at the local, state and national levels.
Kovaleski was the director of the NIAAA, as well as the assistant director of the National Federation of State High School Associations, from 1989 until he retired in 2005.
He was responsible for starting the NIAAA Leadership Training Program in 1996 and expanding the NIAAA Certification Program in 1999.
Smith has either been a teacher, a coach or an administrator for 32 years. He began his career as a teacher, coach and AD at Lake Michigan Catholic in St. Joseph. He spent 16 years as the AD at Comstock. He has currently been the AD at Buchanan for the past six years.
Smith has also served at the state level on the Michigan Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Executive Board from 1993 to 1998, including a term as president.
He is also a member of the Michigan High School Athletic Association Representative Council, a position he has held since 2004.
Smith was asked what advice he would give a young athletic director, he said he would give them the same message he got from his mentor — late Herb Quade, who was a long-time Benton Harbor AD.
"When I became the AD at Lake Michigan Catholic, I sought some advice from him. He said two things. One was call me any time you want, and I will help you out. And two, attend the conferences and there are three of them. You need to go to the two state conferences and you to go to the national conferences. Join your associations, both state and national and become involved.
"I was very fortunate. This December in San Antonio will be my 28th straight national conference. A lot of AD's can't say that. I have had supportive districts."
The conference will be held Dec. 14-19.

Wauwatosa East boys basketball team falls behind quickly against Brookfield Central
Red Raiders look to bounce back against Marquette Friday
The Brookfield Central boys basketball team jumped out to a fast start Friday and defeated Wauwatosa East, 58-42.
Tosa East fell to 6-5 overall and into fourth place (3-2) in the Greater Metro Conference and now faces arch-rival Marquette, who is in third-place (4-1) in conference play and 8-2 overall, Friday at Tosa East.
"We're going back to the drawing board," Tosa East coach Tim Arndorfer said. "Marquette is going to be waiting for us. They're not feeling bad for us. Nobody is going to feel bad for Tosa East now that we're struggling."
The Lancers built a 22-6 first quarter lead Friday at Central and then the teams played to a 36-36 tie the rest of the way.
"Give them credit," Arndorfer said. "They came out blazing hot - four 3's in the first quarter. They couldn't miss. We had to respond offensively. We competed the other three quarters but until we put the four quarters together, it's going to be a long year."
Central junior guard Riley LaChance had nine points with two 3-pointers and Peter Mattiacci put in two 3-pointers to spark the first-quarter run.
"That's been our big thing. If you want to be a champion you have to have the characteristics of a champion," Central coach Mark Adams said. "One of the things is how hard you come out. Our thing is to try and outwork people and we are doing that."
Tosa East had only three players score in the first half - Anthony Carroll had six and Nate Moore and Ben Mihelich had five each. LaChance had 11 and Elijah Goodman had eight points and seven rebounds at intermission for Central.
Central led 34-16 at halftime and 50-32 after three periods.
In the third quarter, Carroll got hot with 10 points, while the Lancers' LaChance added eight and junior Caleb Mortag had three dunks.
"It's a broken record really," a frustrated Arndorfer said. "When you look at the box score; another quality opponent, we're right there. But this time it was the first quarter.
"Other games it's been the fourth quarter. We had games where it's been the second quarter, third quarter. There is no rhyme or reason to when it was going to happen."
Carroll led Tosa East with 16 points and Mihelich added 10, while LaChance led all scorers with 21 and Goodman had 12 points and 13 rebounds.
When asked how the Red Raiders are holding up, the soft-spoken Arndorfer was candid.
"They're frustrated. I think. I hope," he said. "We used to do this to other teams and now it's being done to us. We need someone to step forward, help right the ship.
"We have to keep working to make strides and hopefully be playing our best ball toward the end of the year."

Here Are Andrew Miller's 10 Biggest Spots
Originally I wanted to sit here and write about the Reds' godawful bullpen. But then the research started bumming me out, so I turned my focus to the opposite of the Reds' godawful bullpen, which is Andrew Miller. I find Miller to be much more pleasing, so here comes stuff about him.
You might remember that, before the year, Miller sustained a fracture in his non-throwing wrist. So there was concern that he'd have to be sidelined for a while, which would deal a blow to the Yankees' biggest strength, but Miller opted to play through the discomfort. He's so far allowed an OPS of .273. He has an xFIP- a little over 0, an ERA- of exactly 0, and an FIP- somehow under 0. No less deliciously, Miller is presently the only pitcher in baseball who's gotten a higher rate of swings at pitches out of the zone than at pitches inside of the zone. Andrew Miller basically turns hitters into pitchers, except he turns them into pitchers who have to be hitters. To make matters worse for them, they're effectively pitcher-hitters at the highest-leverage spots. Andrew Miller is good.
There are so many ways to demonstrate how Andrew Miller is good. That paragraph demonstrates it. Everything after this demonstrates it. I decided to pull up Miller's log of plate appearances on the year, and sort them by leverage. I looked to see how Miller has done in the toughest of the tough situations. Miller so far has 33 batters faced. Here are the 10 most important showdowns.
