Singer Shakira was spotted in the stands to watch a fashion-y Rafael Nadal destroy Nikolay Davydenko to reach the Abu Dhabi finals today.
Listen up Shak: His girl Xisca may be petite + pretty but I'm sure she'll take you down if you even think about moving in on Rafa (not to mention the rabid Rafanatics out there.)
You've been warned...

I'm sorry, Xisca!

HER BF LOOKS JUST LIKE RAFAReplyDelete
shakira performed in an abu dhabi hotel for new years so it was probably just part of her trip -- she must love tennis. i think that's all there is. :)ReplyDelete
Wow!.. If she likes tennis then I'm in for a chance!.. but yeah, seriously... Rafa hands off!ReplyDelete
I saw shakira on Sky Sports News... it was a breath of fresh air. Believe it or not, the presenter called her handsome!?
- AnonymousJanuary 2, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I'm not a Nadal fan but trust me, comparing him to De la Rua's son is definitely not a compliment. Not only is Nadal much cuter than him, but if you look up "sponger" in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of the guy. I'm from Argentina, and Shakira's bf is not well-liked here at all.ReplyDelete

Too bad they're both taken. They would definitely make a hot couple. A cool, entertainment powerhouse couple.ReplyDelete

Harumph. I theenk Shakira looks a little too interested while watching Rafa for MY comfort, Rich. You wrote that Xisca could take Shak down if she makes a move on Rafa - well, what about thees? What about Contessa ChiChi taking them both down for moving in on my territory, hunh?! ;>ReplyDelete

Pfff! I'm sorry no way are they hooking up! She's too famous for his low-key ways...and also apparently likes to be the more attractive one in the relationship - which she would def lose to Rafa, IMO :)ReplyDelete
But maybe that's the rabid Rafanatic in me talking...LOL.
There is no way that Rafa would beat Shakira in a beauty contest!.. or is that me just being biased! :)ReplyDelete
I've never liked Shakira and that's not certain to change now. >:(ReplyDelete
Shakira and Rafa - EW! She looks so used and way too old for him. Ick!
Also, Rafa is too much down to earth to get with some ass jigglin' "singer".
No way, this rabid Rafanatic says! ;-)
BTW look at that friggin' couch there... gotta love VIP seating!
Oh, and her boyfriend is way too fat to look like Rafa. LOL
haha... sonja I love the way you refer to Shakira as a 'ass jigglin' "singer"'.ReplyDelete

Actually, it looks like he is as into her as she is into him. I mean you guys just said Shakira gives the boys what they want! I mean if she is throwing herself at him, he certainly seems to have his catcher's mitt! He just doesn't seem to know how to go about closing the deal which isn't surprising him being so young and all, but I'm sure she will mark the roadway for him. LOL! I love it!ReplyDelete

At one of my recent checkups, I was talking to one of the midwives at the hospital about delivery positions. Specifically that I don't want to deliver in the lithotomy position if at all possible. She said that it was a good idea to "push" in another position, but that it would be better if the actual delivery of the baby's head was done with me on my back (not legs up) so that support could be applied to my perineum. She also said that she's never seen anyone deliver upright (on birth stool etc) without tearing! Is this true that you're more likely to tear in an upright position??? I'd never heard anything like that before (everything to the opposite actually)...Any insight, concrete personal stories etc would be much appreciated.
P.S. I think that the position I'll be most comfortable delivering in will be on all fours, can't my perineum be supported in that position just as well as it would be with me on my back?
Thank you in advance for any info!

I should think it would be pretty easy to support the perineum of someone laboring on all fours. Just my two cents. Also, just to add some fuel to your anecdotal fire, I birthed my baby in the "proposal" position (semi-squat, on bended knee) while supporting my own perineum, and had just a superficial 1/8-1/4 inch nick. First baby. :)
I don't have any quotes offhand, but Henci Goer's book "The thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth" might have some good evidence for you.
I did probably 85% of the pushing stage in a semi-upright all-fours position - we had the back of the hospital bed upright (so acted like a headboard), and I was leaning against it and kneeling on the bed. I found this to be really effective with gravity and all because even between pushes when i would 'rest', i would lower my bum and the baby would move down even more. They said it was fine to go ahead and push him out that way, but at the last minute I felt like I wanted to turn around and sit upright (slightly leaning back) so that I could see him come out. The change in positions must have done something internally too because he crowned very soon after (I am convinced our bodies just know!) Anyway, long story short, since I had done so much of the 'work' already, I didn't feel like this last bit of pushing in that position put too much strain on the whole area. I didn't tear, and I didn't have much soreness at all after a day.
I only have this one experience to go on, but I think I will try to do something similar with my second baby since it seemed to work well. I can't speak to what your midwife said about people always tearing in an upright position (somehow I can't believe that's true) but I would definitely recommend a combination of positions like this so that no one part gets too much strain put on it. Bottom line - just listen to your body!!!
At a home birth I assisted a mom who gave birth to an eleven pound baby without tearing. She was most comfortable, walking and sitting on the birthing ball throughout labor. She felt best upright. When the baby's head was just beginning to crown she got into bed and pushed in a semi-sitting position.
The advantage of the semi-sitting or C-position, and also the all-fours position is that the birth attendant can assist mom to ease the baby's head out. When there is a great urge to push, pushing too hard, too fast can lead to perineal tears.

On September 12, 1609, Henry Hudson first laid eyes on the island of Mannahatta, named so by the native Lenni Lenape people. Ever since, Manhattan has been steadily developed into one of the world's most altered landscapes. Few vestiges remain of the forests, grasslands, wetlands, and streams that once combined to form a uniquely varied ecosystem on the island. Coinciding with the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Hudson, Wildlife Conservation ecologist Dr. Eric Sanderson has digitally established The "Mannahatta Project," an educational program which aims to reconstruct what is known about the ecology of Manhattan as it existed before European settlement.
The NYU Native Woodland Garden in Schwartz Plaza, on the east face of NYU's Bobst Library, was the first planting to be done in association with the Mannahatta Project. The garden features a variety of plant species identified by Dr. Sanderson as likely to have been present on the day Henry Hudson first sailed by the island. Native trees, shrubs, and perennials were planted among the existing non-native trees to mimic the natural process of ecological species succession. As stated by the garden designer Darrel Morrison in his design proposal, the design brings a "microcosmic and stylized version of the botanic diversity and aesthetic character of a native New York woodland into a highly urban environment."

How do these compare with the "Avon Speedmaster Mark II" tires that came on my B5? I know there's some other OEM tires that have a bad rap ("skidmasters"?).
Am I the only one who thinks the stock 'skidmaster' tyres are quite good on the tarmac? I haven't pushed myself to the limits (very rarely), but here and there I do tend to give it a bit on the turns and these Avons hold up quite well

Gender Differences Concerning Wikipedia: A Follow-up Study
Sook Lim
Monday, 6:30pm
This follow-up study of Lim and Kwon (2010) examined whether gender differences persist in certain aspects concerning Wikipedia. Additionally, this study examined other new variables, such as satisficing and peer approval in relation to gender. Data were collected using a web survey at a large public university in the Midwestern United States in fall 2011. A total of 123 surveys were usable for this study. The key findings show that two data sets collected three years apart were consistent with each other, showing that the persistence of gender differences in college students with respect to Wikipedia use, their perceived credibility of Wikipedia, and self-evaluation of their ability discerning the credibility of Wikipedia information. In addition, this study found that male students showed a higher level of satisficing with Wikipedia and tended to report a higher level of their peer's approval for Wikipedia than their female counterparts did. The findings call for attention to educational interventions to narrow the gender gap concerning Wikipedia or UGC.

Moneyball (2011)
Moneyball SynopsisBased on a true story, Moneyball is a movie for anybody who has ever dreamed of taking on the system. Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland As and the guy who assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of baseballs conventional wisdom is wrong. Forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to outsmart the richer clubs. The onetime jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs, and win games. Its more than baseball, its a revolution one that challenges old school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of those who say hes tearing out the heart and soul of the game.

Starring: Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, and Chris Pratt

For Your Consideration: Moneyball Is Change We Can Believe In
I dont think that Moneyball is a political film. I dont think that director Bennett Miller saw Beane as a proxy for Obama and I dont think the movie sways to either side of the political scale. How could it? Michael Lewis wrote Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game in 2003 and the movie chronicles the Oakland Athletics 2002 season. But no movie released in 2011 better represents the era in which we are living

Interview: Director Bennett Miller On Telling A Baseball Story Without A Big Win In Moneyball
I talked to Miller during what must have been an exhausting jaunt through the Toronto Film Festival, just a few weeks before Moneyball was set to open in theaters (it's out starting tomorrow).

Brad Pitt's 5 Best Roles Prove He's Always Been More Talented Than You Think
With Pitt on the brain, we're setting out to change that perception of him as a handsome guy who can't act his way out of a paper bag. As it turns out, he's got an entire career's worth of excellent performances to prove his talent, starting even in his earliest days as more of a pin-up boy than the Hollywood powerhouse he is today. Here are five examples of Pitt performances that don't just prove he's got talent

Interview: Chris Pratt On Moneyball And How Parks & Recreation Has Changed His Life
Pratt knows you probably know him as Andy, which might be part of why he fought so hard to play Scott Hatteberg in Moneyball, the new adaptation of Michael Lewis's bestselling book about how the Oakland A's used complicated statistics to become a championship-level team on virtually no money. Hatteberg was a former catcher recruited when he was let go from the Boston Red Sox after rupturing a nerve in his elbow

Two Clips From Moneyball Show Brad Pitt Getting His Way
It was always an uphill battle for Oakland A's General Manager Billy Beane. When he first signed on to the team he was neutralized because the organization didn't have enough money to afford quality players. Then he worked to devise a new system of scouting that would allow him to target cheaper players, but the organization didn't even want to spend a little money on what they saw as a major risk.

Ace, I would appreciate it if you would go into the flow or wave dynamics of exhaust technology, particularly as it applies optimizing combustion chamber filling. Most Enfield owners go to a free flowing exhaust. However, more modern systems are using 2-cycle expansion chamber technology and flow formulas for the exhaust systems to aid scavenging as well as well as intake. In high-revving engines this type of exhaust allows for wilder cam timing yet still manage to produce a relatively wide power band. Taken to extremes these exhaust systems even have variable valving in the system itself to change resonance frequencies at different RPM. How would any of this technology benefit a low revving engine such as the Enfield? Would a tuned expansion chamber allow for more effective use of existing cams and port sizes?
Ace, when I asked about variable valves I meant that some modern bike have a valving mechanism actually in the pipe after and in addition to the exhaust valve. It does not completely block the port but rather is a relatively small restriction in the port. This restriction changes with RPM and throttle setting with more restriction at low RPM and less at high RPM. Two stroke engines drive this with gears driven by a Sprag clutch. Four stroke engines are usually computer/servo controlled. Less refined systems could be throttle cable controlled. Would this be of help or even be worth the trouble?
SO, I was wondering about slightly enhanced cams instead of "performance" and "full race" options. Designing a new cam is a little more involved than just adjusting the Duration, Overlap, Lift etc. Would it be easier (less expensive) to design and produce a higher ratio rocker? I don't know the ratio of the RE rockers but say something modest like going from 1.5 to 1.6? And if someone was were going to do this, how about a roller?
Ace, wow-wow-wow! That's some great technical writing and explained in a way that most will grasp. Will the installation of the adjustable cam spindles and the re-phasing of the cams bring the HP up to Redditch specs on a stock motor or is it in conjunction with the high comp piston? Also, are you planning on installing a set of these spindles yourself? This has been a very entertaining thread, keep up the good work! Blltrdr

Anyone have any info???
I have been waiting for years to apply to AZ unit 27 for bow elk and now that I finally can draw and there are large parts (that I hear have a lot of elk) closed to all activity because of the wallow fire.
I wanted to get the opinion of a few locals as to if I should hold off until 2013. Not only are some good areas closed, and likely will remain closed for elk season, but this also forces that other hunters into smaller areas and makes the remaining open areas more crowded.
I read the emergency closure and the 7 closed areas are not going to reopen until 2013!
This is going to have a huge effect on the hunting (and not in a good way) do you agree?
I wish Eastmans would have mentioned it in their MRS, some guys are goning to draw and find large areas you cannot go at all, and crowds in the remaining areas.
Anyone have any info???
I am not from AZ but I say if you have been waiting for years go ahead and wait one more year. The second and third years always seem to be the best after a fire. Good luck!
I am debating that, the bad thing is many are not aware of this and might apply then find out a large chunk of their unit is off limits to even set foot in!
Last edited by DonV; 02-06-2012 at 07:34 PM.
I'm not sure about GMU 27, but Unit 1, just North of 27, is mostly open. The US Forest Service has closed some roads to public access, for "safety", but you can still hike in. There's sure a lot of elk around there, and will no doubt be more in 2013. But don't forget the world will end in Dec. 2012, LOL.
The Wallow Fire left lots of islands of trees, and was devastating to areas that burned, but the elk moved back in and are doing fine. The Rodeo Fire a few years ago did much the same, and now the undergrowth is prime and the elk and deer populations are booming. 2013 should be a banner year for elk in Units 1 and 27.
Check out the AZ Game and fish site, AZGFD.gov, and the USFS Apache-Sitgreaves forest web site, sorry I don't have it just now, for most current details.
Hope that helps.

The focus in single-use bioreactor development is effective oxygen transfer, and the cultivation of cell culture processes and microbial cultures. Cell densities and productivities similar to conventional stirred tanks can easily be achieved in single-use bioreactors with the introduction of real process control. The Biostat CultiBag RM can reach KLa values of 43.2 h-1 and 12.9 h-1, in 2-L and 20-L cultures, respectively, at small scale. This article will show the productivities of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), E. coli, and C. diphtheriae in the Biostat CultiBag RM using disposable sensor technology.
The use of superior gas mixing systems with disposable sensors, and tighter process control, can be used to cultivate both modern cell culture and seed stage microbial cells successfully. Process monitoring and control of cell cultivation processes are required for culture reproducibility, modeling scale-up parameters, increasing achievable cell densities, extending batch age, and increasing productivity and yield. This article shows that using disposable sensor technology, comparable cell densities, viabilities, and titers were achieved in several cell lines, and in some cases, were even higher than in stirred tanks.

BELLAIRE - Sometimes it's not how you start, but how you finish.
That was such the case for Bellaire on Wednesday afternoon in softball action on the sun-baked Bellaire Middle School diamond in St. Joe.
The Big Reds (9-11) were held hitless for nearly four innings, but scored three times in the bottom of the sixth inning and twice in the seventh to rally past rival Shadyside, 5-4.
Bellaire coach Melissa Lahna is hoping the come-from-behind victory will jumpstart Bellaire down the stretch run.
''It's good that this type of win came toward the end of the season because that is the way you want your team to be playing when tournament time rolls around,'' Lahna said. ''Not the start of the game, or our season, but the end of the game and hopefully we can build on that.''
The Tigers (13-4) were rolling along with a 4-0 lead after five innings as they tallied three runs in the second and one in the fifth.
Megan Heagney provided the big hit in the second with a two-run bloop single down the rightfield line with one out. The third run scored on an error.
Karli Bonar legged out an infield single with one out in the fifth. Sarah Benedetto dropped down a sacrifice bunt, but the throw to first hit her in the back as Bonar alertly chugged to third. With Benedetto stealing second, the Big Reds tried to catch Bonar napping at third, but the throw sailed into leftfield and she raced home.
Heagney, Shadyside's hard-throwing freshman, was perfect for 3 2/3 innings before allowing a full-count walk to Taylar Canter. Casey Garloch followed with a sharp single to left and Macy Cordy singled up the middle.
However, Bellaire failed to score as Benedetto came up firing from center and tossed a laser to catcher Angelina McKeever, who applied the tag to the sliding Canter to end the inning.
Winning pitcher Megan Ging helped herself with a leadoff double to left-center to start the sixth inning. Sarah Marlin's fly ball to left was misplayed as Ging scored and Marlin ended up at second.
Canter reached on an error as Marlin went to third, from where she raced home on Garloch's groundout. Cordy followed with a run-producing single to center.
Elisha Gillespie started the game-winning rally by reaching on an error. Talia Duffy walked and both runners moved up a base on the next pitch. Ging then walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases.
With the count 0-2 on Marlin, Heagney uncorked a wild pitch and Dallas Messenger, running for Gillespie, sprinted home with the tying run. With one out, Canter lined a 1-1 pitch down the right-field line to complete the comeback.
''We changed the lineup around a little, and Taylar came up with a big hit,'' Lahna said. ''That's something we haven't really had all season as we've left way too many runners on base.''
Shadyside coach Jillian Ongley said her team relaxed when it led 4-0.
''We've lost four games this season, and we've given three of them away,'' she noted. ''The girls relaxed. At the beginning of the game we're all into it, but we relaxed and it came back to bite us.''
Cordy had two singles and an RBI for Bellaire. Heagney doubled twice for the Tigers.
Heagney finished with 10 strikeouts and two walks. Ging fanned two and walked one.
Bellaire hosts Barnesville today for Senior Day, while Shadyside entertains Bishop Donahue Friday.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Well, Wizards General Manager Ernie Grunfeld may have saved his job with Thursday's blockbuster trade.
JaVale McGee and Nick Young have been causing the organization migraines for years. Re-signing the pair of 2012 free agents had become obsolete as the season progressed. I would have applauded Grunfeld for gaining anything in return for Young and McGee. Obtaining a cornerstone center has exceeded my expectations.
You aren't a fan of the trade? How?
I'd take an experienced veteran who may get injured from time-to-time over two punks who aren't affected by losing. Thursday the Wizards informed the entire league they want to be taken seriously again. The clowning around, dunking festival, basketball era is ending in Washington.
If you are a Washington Wizards fan, you have to be elated by this trade because...
A) I pointed this out in December: Nene will help attract free agents
I think Ted Leonsis finally realized this. Who the hell was he going to lure to Washington? What was the selling point outside of John Wall? Jan Vesely? Chris Singleton? The Wizards youth is great to have, but you can't build a franchise entirely around it.
Nene does come with a five-year $67 million contract, a hefty price. But the Wizards should still have around $12-13 million to play with this summer, even after the NBA draft according to Bullets Forever.
Surrounding John Wall and Nene with outside shooting will become the priority for the franchise. There are some solid restricted free agent scorers who would fit the bill -- Nicolas Batum, Ryan Anderson, Jodie Meeks, Landry Fields, Brandon Rush and Rudy Fernandez. With Nene now in the fold, it will be hard for these free agents to completely ignore a bid from Washington.
B) The subtraction of McGee and Young will lure in better coaching candidates
Before this trade, somebody like Kentucky's John Calipari or recently departed coaches such as Mike D'Antoni (Knicks) or Nate McMillan (Blazers) would have been a stretch. Why would those coaches want to enter one of the most toxic atmosphere's in all of sports?
Now, the Wizards have already answered some question marks surrounding their roster of the future. They have the center and point guard position figured out until 2016. Interviewing "sexy" coaches just got a whole lot easier.
C) Nene at his best is a borderline all-star and at his worst is nowhere near as bad as McGee
The Wizards weren't going to re-sign McGee. So who could they have replaced him with? Exactly. Nobody via free agency. Nene is clearly a better option than Brook Lopez (restricted) or Greg Oden. The team could've prayed and hoped for the number one pick and Anthony Davis, but that wasn't going to cut it.
I will openly admit that Nene's game has taken a dip this season. He normally is among the league leaders in field goal percentage and this season his average his dipped 11 points, down 50.9. I'm not ready to write off the Brazilian yet.
In fact, the only true center's in the NBA I would take over Nene: Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, Marc Gasol, Greg Monroe, Tyson Chandler, Al Horford and Al Jefferson.
Yup. I'll take Nene over Andrew Bogut, Roy Hibbert or even Marcin Gortat. And of course JaVale McGee.
D) Jordan Crawford gets a chance to spread his wings for 25 games
Losing Nick Young should relive a bunch of pressure off of the Wizards shooting guard. It will give him increased playing time and responsibilities. This isn't a huge part of the trade, but it will be nice to see how Crawford performs over a large stretch of games without Young breathing down his neck.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Led by a resurgent Peyton Manning, the Denver
Broncos are on a roll. And now the AFC West champs are eyeing a potential
first-round bye following their eighth straight win. Manning tallied his
5,000th career completion and threw for 310 yards and a touchdown in the
Broncos' 26-13 win over the Oakland Raiders. Manning joined Brett Favre
(6,400) as the only NFL quarterbacks with 5,000-plus completions. Manning,
who completed 26-of-36 passes, has tossed 19 touchdowns and seven
interceptions during his torrid eight-game stretch for Denver (10-3), which is
in the midst of its longest winning streak since the 1998 squad began the year
13-0. The Broncos were tied with the New England Patriots and Baltimore
Ravens for the No. 2 seed in the AFC coming in, but sat fourth in the
standings based on tiebreakers. Denver visits Baltimore next Sunday. Knowshon
Moreno finished with 119 yards rushing and a score on a career-high 32
carries, while Eric Decker recorded eight receptions for 88 yards in the
win. Oakland, meanwhile, is headed in the complete opposite direction. Carson
Palmer had 273 yards through the air on 19-of-30 efficiency with two scores
and an interception for the Raiders (3-10), who suffered their sixth
straight defeat. Raiders head coach and former Broncos defensive
coordinator Dennis Allen returned to the sidelines Thursday following the
death of his father, Grady Allen. The former NFL linebacker was originally
hospitalized last week with heart problems and passed away at the age of 66 on
Tuesday. Darren McFadden returned after missing the previous four games with
an injured ankle and finished with 52 yards on the ground -- 36 coming on the
first play of the second half -- on 11 totes. He added a touchdown reception.

Although acne and skin breakouts are most commonly regarded as a teenage problem, they can occur at any age. Hormonal changes in the body during a woman's menstrual cycle or at menopause can cause changes in the skin, leading to an imbalance in the production of natural protective oils.

Celazome Acne Treatment is a gentle yet potent formulation developed specifically for oily, acne-prone skin. These highly effective products contain bioactives, which repair the skin and treat imperfections. With regular use, Celazome Acne Treatment delivers fresher, healthier, younger-looking skin.

Skin is gently and thoroughly cleansed of excess sebum, eradicating blemishes and preventing the formation of future breakouts. You can trust Celazome Acne Treatment to calm, soothe, and nurture acne-prone skin.
When oily, acne-prone skin becomes imbalanced and irritated, it may be difficult to find a solution that thoroughly removes excess sebum without stripping and drying the skin. Containing potent bioactives, Celazome Acne Treatment is scientifically-formulated to treat and repair the skin, while gently removing excess oil. Skin will be nourished and cared for while pores are tightened, bacteria eradicated, and the complexion refined.

"That's why they put the "I" in FBI." – Fox Mulder
By Alison on Mar 7, 2012 in geekery, Procrastination Station, The X-Files, TV | comments(0)
Yesterday was a major milestone. It was the 20th anniversary of the day that Agent Fox Mulder met Agent Dana Scully.
First of all, TWENTY YEARS? Holy shit. I feel incredibly old right now.
The X-Files premiered on September 10, 1993, but with the on-screen date of March 6, 1992.
Why does this matter? Why should anyone, including you or I care?
Well, for me, The X-Files was a life changing event. The show changed the way I looked at the world around me, for good or ill, and it helped me hang on when I was so depressed that I wasn't sure if I wanted to make it to the next episode or not. For the record, my obsession was so great that I honestly think my need to find out what would happen next (and when would they hook up, damn it) trumped any suicidal thoughts that I possibly had at the time.

By way of introduction, I run a business which specialises in Open Source solutions and am evaluating Zimbra as a potential for a hosted email app.
I have successfully installed Zimbra on Centos 4.1, in turn running under VMware ESX.
Couple of initial questions:
1) Is it possible to change the start of day from 10:00am to something more realistic?
2) Is it possible to change the date format on appointments from US to UK format?
Thanks in advance,
Jack Knight

See Classical music through a new lens at THE CONSTELLA FESTIVAL
An ambitious initiative, Constella was conceived as an arts showcase featuring the best in international and local performers. This year's festival is no less ambitious, but it's considerably scaled back from the sprawling array of choices that in the past have potentially overwhelmed potential audiences. Originally scheduled throughout October and November, performances are now within a 12-day period in April. It's still a packed schedule with five events each week, featuring violinist Hilary Hahn, pianist Simon Trpceski, other established European performers making Cincinnati debuts, Cincinnati performers and artists, and a film premiere. Performances are at downtown locations accessible by public transportation and tickets can be purchased from one source. Get more information and buy tickets here.
Get sloppy at ZINES, SCREENS & SCREAMS DIY music fest
The Zines, Screens & Screams Fest, a celebration of DIY music and culture, comes to Main Street in Over-the-Rhine this weekend for the first edition of what organizers hope to make an annual event. The festival starts Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at noon and will be centered around two main locations: Maudie's (maudieslive.com) and Cincy By the Slice (cincybytheslice.com), which are both located at 1207 Main St. in OTR; and The Drinkery (1150 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, drinkeryotr.com). The Drinkery (which will only be participating in the music portion of the fest Friday night) is open to those 21-and-up only; all other events are open to all ages. The festival features a slew of local bands as well as some national touring acts that play Rock, Punk, Post Punk, Experimental, Metal and other Indie-oriented genres. It's a great chance to catch some local musicians that don't often get a ton of attention outside the DIY scene. Read more here.
Hang out at the Southgate House Revival with CHUCK PROPHET & THE MISSION EXPRESS
San Francisco singer/songwriter Chuck Prophet's illustrious career began in earnest when he joined the influential and critically acclaimed Roots Rock band Green on Red right after high school. Since then, similar acclaim for his solo work has never slowed; he has released more than a dozen albums since 1990 that have carried the torch of Green on Red's slanted Alt Roots Rock, taking it even further. Also a prolific collaborator, Prophet has worked with everyone from Warren Zevon and Solomon Burke to Alejandro Escovedo and Cake. Prophet is currently touring with his band The Mission Express behind his most recent full-length, Night Surfer, which came out last year on Yep Roc and features contributions from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and others. (Visit the music page at citybeat.com to read our feature story on Prophet.) 8:30 p.m. Friday. $15; $18 day of show. Southgate House Revival, 111 E. Sixth St., Newport, Ky., southgatehouse.com.
Brings your leftover yarn to the BRAZEE STREET STUDIOS ART SUPPLY SWAP
If one artist's junk is another artist's treasure, then Friday's art supply swap at Brazee Street Studios might be a gold mine of fodder for artistic creation. An informal exchange of materials, guests are asked to bring any two items to donate — paint, markers, pencils, rhinestones, charcoal, paper, canvas, yarn, sequins, etc. — and they can take as much as they like home. Drop-off begins at 9:30 a.m. and leftover items will be donated to Crayons2Computers, a local organization that gives school and art supplies to children in need. 9:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Free. Brazee Street Studios' parking lot, 4426 Brazee St., Oakley, brazeestreetstudios.com. If you can actually knit and want to keep the yarn (or take someone else's home), Hospice of Southwest Ohio is currently accepting slipper donations for patients.
Take your time at SLOW ART DAY
Slow Art Day is one of the best ideas to reach art museums ever — a break from the rush-rush hubbub of trying to see everything. Visitors concentrate on just looking, really looking, at a few pieces and then discuss them with others. Saturday, the Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum and Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum are participating in the international event. At the Taft starting at 11:15 a.m., docents will help visitors look slowly at five pieces of art. Participants then have a separately-sold lunch at the Taft cafe. (RSVP to 513-684-4515.) At the art museum at noon, an hour-long guided tour starts; participants will visit works by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Bernardino Mei, John Francis and Donald Judd. Afterward, there will be a discussion. (Reserve space at cincinnatiartmuseum.org.) Also at the Cincinnati Art Museum is the new Andy Warhol exhibit, Up at Bat: Warhol and Baseball, featuring the CAM's classic Pop Art Pete Rose and more from America's favorite pastime. And at Hamilton's Pyramid Hill, visitors meet to begin looking at five pieces of art at 10 a.m., followed by discussion. They can bring a brown-bag lunch. Admission to Pyramid hill is $8 for adults; $3 for 12 and younger. (RSVP to 513-868-8336.)
As the birthplace of the first professional baseball team, as well as the creation of the World Series and the location of the National League and American League merger, Cincinnati has a long history of incredible on- and off-field moments. American Legacy Tours digs deeper into the city's baseball past with The 1919 Tour. In conjunction with the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum, the tour focuses on events and activities surrounding the controversial 1919 World Series, which pitted the Reds against the Chicago White Sox and is associated with the "Black Sox" gambling scandal. The walking tour visits locations where the scandal unfolded and examines the cast of characters involved in the infamous event. 10:30 a.m. Saturdays. Through October. $20. Leaves from Fountain Square, Fifth and Vine streets, Downtown, americanlegacytours.com.
Eat a whole bunch of haggis at TARTAN DAY SPRING CEILIDH
The Cincinnati Caledonian Pipes & Drums, a local nonprofit that aims to preserve and promote Scottish heritage, hosts their annual spring party. The Celtic bash will feature music from the likes of the Blue Rock Boys, Ceol Mhor and Riley Gaelic Singers, and performances from the McGing Irish Dancers and Cincinnati Highland Dancers. Themed food will be provided by Brazenhead Pub, with a scotch tasting, Scottish beer sampling, haggis-eating contest, tea room and more. 6-10 p.m. Saturday. $15; food and drink sold separately. The Center, 115 E. Fifth St., Mercantile Building, Downtown, cincypipesanddrums.org.
Dance all night at BALLET A GO GO
Inspired by the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles and New York's Peppermint Lounge discotheque, Ballet A Go Go is one hot dance party. Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the ballet's Club B, each room of the Cincinnati Ballet Center will transform into a trendy '60s nightclub for an evening of Mod fashion, music and, of course, go-go dancing. Cocktails and dinner precede era-inspired music and dessert; tickets include an open bar. The dress code is funky Mod attire. 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Sharonville Convention Center, 11355 Chester Road, Sharonville, victoryoflight.com.
Celebrate the semi-return of Magnolia Mountain with MARK UTLEY's solo release show
Prolific singer/songwriter Mark Utley has released a single album's worth of songs. And that's all. Bulletville, Utley's excellent sophomore solo album, is not a double-set on a single CD or accompanied by a new release from his band Magnolia Mountain or another musical vessel for the songs that pour endlessly from his head, heart and hands. Is this Utley's version of writer's block? Last year, Magnolia Mountain, Utley's Blues/Roots Rock vehicle, was collapsing while Bulletville, Utley's traditional Country side project with Magnolia Mountain's Renee Frye and Jeff Vanover, was thriving. With Magnolia Mountain sidelined, Utley's creative vacuum was quickly filled by Bulletville. His Country project's profile rose exponentially with each new gig, naturally leading to more songs and ultimately the recording of Bulletville, produced, like every Magnolia Mountain album to date, by Afghan Whigs bassist John Curley. The difference this time is that Bulletville was largely recorded live in the studio. Mark Utley and Bulletville celebrate their new album release Saturday at MOTR Pub. More info: motrpub.com. Click here for details on Bulletville and all of Utley's projects.
See baby lion cubs at ZOO BLOOMS
The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's annual floral exhibit, Zoo Blooms, features daffodils, hyacinths, flowering trees and one of the largest displays of tulips in the Midwest. Also on view, the zoo's three new lion cubs. Follow them on twitter @cincyzoolion. $18 adults; $12 children; $9 parking. 3400 Vine St., Avondale, cincinnatizoo.org.
Enjoy a matinee of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
If you've ever seen The Taming of the Shrew, you might remember it as the tale of an ill-tempered woman brought into line by an abusive, gold-digging suitor. In that simple summary, Shakespeare's early comedy understandably doesn't sit well with most modern audiences. But contemporary presenters of the show have a variety options to make it more palatable. In its current staging at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, guest director Kevin Hammond has utilized more than one of them. Read a full review here. 2 p.m. Sunday. $22-$32.Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, 719 Race St., Downtown, cincyshakes.com.
Feel a little hazy and lo-fi with COLLEEN GREEN and Leggy at the Woodward
Colleen Green's third full-length (and first album recorded in an actual recording studio) is titled I Want to Grow Up, which is no coincidence. Well, that is if you equate a glossier sound and trying to kick coffee and weed as growing up. For I Want to Grow Up, Green hooked up with friends Jake Orrall (JEFF The Brotherhood) and Casey Weissbuch (Diarrhea Planet) in a Nashville, Tenn., studio to crank out 10 songs with titles like "TV" and "Pay Attention," deceptively simple tunes that recall a cross between early Donnas and the bummed-out laments of Juliana Hatfield. Colleen Green plays Woodward Theater on Sunday. Tickets/more info here.
Grab a drink and an underground tour at TOAST TO THE TUNNELS
Back by popular demand, Toast to the Tunnels takes you on a tour to explore the Christian Moerlein Malt House's underground barrel vault tunnels, once home to the pre-Prohibition Kauffman Brewing malt house. A quick taste of history will be accompanied by a $10 flight of Moerlein beers in the taproom. Proceeds benefit the Betts House, currently exhibiting Bricks, Barrel Vaults & Beer: The Architectural History of Cincinnati Breweries. 2-5 p.m. Sunday. Christian Moerlein Malt House, 1621 Moore St., Over-the-Rhine, facebook.com/thebettshouse.
Watch GAME OF THRONES
As many know, Game of Thrones (Season Premiere, 9 p.m. Sunday, HBO) is based on author George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series. But what happens when the show's progression surpasses that of the source material? Debuting this week, Season Five will cover the series' fourth and fifth novels; by the time the finale airs, the show will be "off the books." This means those who watch will have a leg up on those who read (nerds!). If you ever had a friend threaten to spoil the show with their literary knowledge, the tables have finally turned. Martin met with the show's creators to guide them through the future of Game of Thrones — both versions will end with the same basic pieces in place — but fans can expect future seasons to diverge from the forthcoming novels. In Sunday's premiere, Cersei and Jaime mourn their father's death and adapt to life without his direction. At least they have each oth… Ew, nevermind. Tyrion is in hiding in Pentos with Varys, Jon's loyalty is pulled between Night's Watch and Stannis, and, after locking up two of her babies and banishing Jorah, Daenerys faces more setbacks in Meereen. Two of the most anticipated storylines come with new territory — Dorne and Braavos. Following Oberyn's crushing defeat, we head to his home turf of Dorne to meet his daughters, the Sand Snakes. Also exciting is the prospect of Arya traveling to Braavos to find Jaqen H'ghar. Valar Morghulis, y'all!
What happens when a guy who grew up in an inner-city neighborhood returns as a successful attorney, back because it's now the trendy place to live? That's Jackson's story: He's upwardly mobile and black, moving in with Suzy, his white schoolteacher girlfriend. But she's not so comfortable with their arrangement. Add to the mix Don, Jackson's privileged boyhood white friend who's had drug issues and now needs a place to crash. The apartment's buzzer is a reminder that their world isn't so simple. Tracey Scott Wilson's new play isn't set in Over-the-Rhine, but it could be. Through April 19. $30-$85. Playhouse in the Park, 962 Mt. Adams Circle, Mount Adams, 513-421-3888, cincyplay.com.
It's hard to stand out in the crowded Blues/Roots Rock field but Dallas-based Somebody's Darling is a stacked deck of secret weapons. The visceral '70s-to-today guitar pyrotechnics of David Ponder, the massive keyboard groove of Michael Talley, the velvet jackhammer rhythm section of bassist Wade Cofer and drummer Nate Wedan, and the smoke-and-whiskey-cured vocals of Amber Farris combine to create a blistering Blues sound that is reassuringly familiar and yet fascinatingly singular. Although Farris, who also plays electric and acoustic guitars, generates plenty of fair comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi and Heartless Bastards' Erika Wennerstrom (and maybe even a little Natalie Merchant in a rare quiet moment), she and Somebody's Darling may align closest to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals by virtue of the slinky dynamism and mesmerizing power they both effortlessly exhibit. Somebody's Darling plays Southgate House Revival's Revival Room on Friday. Tickets/more info here.
Music! Plays! Events with alcohol! Acrobats and Classical music! Gorilla suits!
Lots of booze-based, full-weekend events going on. Bockfest and the Cincinnati International Wine Festival Grand Tastings both kick off tonight — one with a goat and the other with a far classier couple, Gina Gallo of the Gallo wine family and her husband Jean-Charles Boisset, of France's Boisset Family Estates winery.
Event: Bockfest
Cincinnatians not only love their beer, they also love to celebrate that they love their beer. They even love to celebrate the celebration of loving their beer. Bockfest, the oldest and largest German-style bock beer festival in the United States, is back to host a weekend of beer drinking, live music, German games, dancing, a 5k run and tons of sausage. The party kicks off 6 p.m. Friday with a parade led by a majestic bock — or to the non-German speaker, a goat — and a Sausage Queen, starting at Arnold's Bar & Grill and ending with a ceremonial keg blessing at the festival hub, Bockfest Hall (1619 Moore St., OTR). The festivities continue in tents and overflow into surrounding participating venues, none of which will have an admission fee. A free shuttle will run a continuous loop among Bockfest sites all weekend long, taking you quickly from one keg tapping to another.
Along the route will be a traditional fish fry at Old St. Mary's in OTR and a "veenie" vegan sausage roast outside Park + Vine. The festivities continue into the outdoor tent venues, and overflow into surrounding participating venues, none of which will have an admission fee. A free shuttle bus will run a continuous loop among the Bockfest sites all weekend long, taking you quickly from one keg tapping to another. To get a taste of history to sample with your beer, there will be tours of the city's historical breweries and underground tunnels, plus a Bockfest Heritage Series at the Woodward Theatre, with speakers, presentations, displays and stein collections. The third annual Bockfest 5k run takes off from Bockfest Hall 10 a.m. Saturday to benefit the Flying Pig Marathon charities — a great way to burn off all that beer. Grab a "Continental Bockfest" of Amish chicken, hot bacon sauerkraut slaw and plenty of German sausage noon-2 p.m. Sunday at Bockfest Hall, before dancing the night away at a traditional German folk dance … or at least until all the beer runs out. Friday-Sunday. Free. Full schedule of events at bockfest.com.
Event: Cincinnati International Wine Festival
If wine gets better with age, it makes sense that the Cincinnati International Wine Festival would too. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the three-day fest is made up of winery dinners at local restaurants and grand tastings, plus a Saturday charity auction and luncheon at the Hall of Mirrors. The fest, which is a nonprofit, has raised more than $4.2 million for local charities during its lifetime. And if you can do good while imbibing samples of more than 800 wines from around the world, what's better than that? Most winery dinners are sold out, but tickets are still available for Grand Tastings on Friday and Saturday, which allow expert and beginner oenophiles to taste rare, new and exciting wines while chatting with winemakers. Read our cheat-sheet for how to get your grape on here. 6:30-9 p.m. Friday; 2:30-4:30 p.m. and 6:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday. $65-$125. Duke Energy Convention Center, 525 Elm St., Downtown. winefestival.com.
Film: Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
For part two, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel continues along the same path, with a wistful, unfulfilled ache that lingers in each character, some moreso than others.
Douglas, having jettisoned Jean, pines for Evelyn. The two spend their days working through their retirement in Jaipur, and their evenings engaged in a most understated courtship. Norman, on the other hand, has settled down quite comfortably with Carol (Diana Hardcastle), a fellow pleasure-seeker, while Madge has a pair of eligible suitors hooked, but has an itch that neither is quite able to satisfactorily scratch for her.
Muriel and Sonny have the most obvious big-picture storyline, thanks to the burgeoning success of the first Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Sonny wants to expand but needs an infusion of cash and support, so the pair heads to the U.S. to negotiate with a branded chain headed by Ty Burley (the exquisitely bearded David Strathairn) who agrees, in principle, but sends an anonymous scout to check on things before making a final decision.
Of course, the secret inspector is slated to arrive just as Sonny's in the final stages of planning and executing his wedding to Sunaina, so there are the typical examples of mistaken identity and botched plans that must occur along the way before the happy ending, right? Check.
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is all about the innumerable chances life offers, and the fierce fighting spirit that burns in us no matter the age or situation in which we find ourselves. Intriguingly, that spirit, this time out, replaces the exotic location, and with new beacons (in the form of Richard Gere and a much better used Lillete Dubey as Sonny's mother) presents a worthy second stay that could open the door for even more — not at all unwelcome — visits down the road. Opens wide Friday.
EVENT: Bockfest Sausage Queen Preliminary Round
Cincinnati beer festival Bockfest hosts the second of four preliminary rounds of a gender-neutral pageant to name the 2015 Sausage Queen, who will lead the Bockfest Parade with a symbolic tray of bockwurst sausage. Based on their personality, presence and talent, judges will move beer enthusiasts through a series of rounds of competition, leading up a final crowning and cash prize. Come out and support the candidates and have a couple of beers yourself. Future rounds Feb. 26 at Washington Platform and Feb. 28 at Crazy Fox Saloon. 9 p.m. Friday. Free. Milton's, 301 Milton St., Prospect Hill, bockfest.com.
ONSTAGE: Little Women
The story of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel from the late 1860s, Little Women, has long been woven into the American consciousness. The March family lives in refined poverty, with a dutiful father away in the Civil War and a steadfast mother raising four headstrong daughters. Their story is one of hardship and heartbreak, with generous doses of situational humor, all of which are recaptured in Emma Reeves' new adaptation for the stage being regionally premiered by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. CSC's acting company is replete with fine actors, and local stage veteran Annie Fitzpatrick plays loving Marmee, who strives to keep her chicks in order. Through March 21. $14-$36. Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, 719 Race St., Downtown, 513-381-2273, cincyshakes.com.
Comedian Stewart Huff: Primarily a storyteller, he now focuses on stand-up. Huff started off wanting to be a writer of short stories. He wrote in secret, but after doing an open mic he became intrigued by what that art form had to offer.

Rodgers and Hammerstein created a musical about Cinderella for TV in 1957, watched by an audience of 107 million. It finally made its Broadway debut in 2013, with a contemporary story using their songs. In Douglas Carter Beane's new script, the bedraggled chambermaid is Ella — taunted as "Cinderella" by her nasty stepsisters because she's always dirty from cleaning the fireplace — and her story has had some political intrigue injected, making the heroine a bit of a social reformer. Through Jan. 18. $49-$101. Aronoff Center, 650 Walnut St., Downtown, 513-621-2718, cincinnati.broadway.com.
