Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews.Rating: Awesome swim fins!
I wear a size 13 in the close-out henderson no-zip hard-sole booties and the XL Mares Raptor closeout dive fins which both just make it. All the XL diving footgear i have ever had just barely fit on the snug side. In a milspec jungle boot I wear 11 EW or 11 1/2 W. In the Z2 fins do I go with the 11 - 13 or 14 - 15?
Hello Tim, if you wear a size 13 Henderson boot. Then you would wear a size 13-15 in this fin. Going by your questions you should have no trouble wearing them. As down the road when you are looking for a new pair of dive boots that a look at http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-13/103284/Ocean-Quest-7mm-Premium-Super-Stretch-Titanium-Medium-Sole-Dive-Boots.html. If you are looking for that style of no zip boot. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.

Installing Magnum Force Upper Control Arms - Up In ArmsWritten by on August 1, 2003 Installing Magnum Force's Tubular Upper Control Arms
Custom handling-oriented suspension components have been a long time coming for Mopar musclecar applications. Over the years, the dedicated enthusiast had little to choose from. Building a custom suspension system meant swapping to up-rated OE parts, modifying components from other applications, or just plain fabrication.
Mopars have traditionally been viewed as straight-line machines, and emphasis on cornering has been outside the mainstream. Be that as it may, some dedicated enthusiasts have long recognized the cornering potential of these machines. In early-'60s compact-car racing, the A-Bodies ruled. Even the '70 Trans Am series showed the potential of the Mopar chassis.
In comparison to other vehicles of the era, Mopars stacked up well in road-holding ability. Detailed road-test data in magazine evaluations consistently proved Mopars at or near the top of the pack in handling when vehicles from various manufacturers were compared. Even so, technology has moved on in the three decades or so since these machines rolled of the assembly lines, and in order to maintain handling, upgrades are necessary.
Sticky tires, up-rated springs, bushings and sway bars, and a lowered stance is pretty much the formula for a hot-handling Mopar. A potential pitfall is once it's all said and done, lowered, fat-tired Mopars may not have the adjustability in the front suspension to set the alignment to the appropriate specs. The adjustment point for the caster and camber angles is at the inner pivots of the upper control arms, and there is a limited range of travel available there. With a lowered ride height, the factory adjustment is often not enough to obtain the stock settings required for acceptable tire wear, much less aggressive handling. When a Mopar is lowered, the camber angle goes negative. Once the adjusters are set for the static camber specs-if it will even get there-the range of adjustment required to set the caster is lost. Without sufficient caster, high-speed stability is gone. Even with a stock ride height, similar problems can crop up from the chassis settling from years of service.
There are several potential fixes, including Moog's special offset "problem-solver" bushings, which help some. But, the guys at Magnum Force Racing go one better with a tubular upper control arm designed with performance handling in mind.
Magnum Force Racing markets two basic versions of their DOM seamless-tube A-arms: One is a low-deflection polyurethane bushed unit; the other, the Mac-daddy, is adjustable with spherical rod-ends. Both feature a revised ball-joint position, moving it further out and back. This is exactly where it needs to be to allow for a performance suspension setting. The tubular construction makes for a structure that is more rigid than the stock stamped-steel control arm, and it certainly looks racier. The eye at the bushing end of the bushed version has greater surface area supporting the bushing. This is an area where stock control arms often crack. The Magnum Force control arms come fully assembled with new ball joints and bushings (or rod-ends) and are ready to bolt in.
Our '71 Charger R/T has been previously set up for performance street handling, and we decided to use this vehicle as a test bed for the installation of a set of Magnum Force upper control arms. We opted for the adjustable rod-end-style arms, which offer full adjustability at the control arm as well as the stock adjustment cam, with near-zero deflection. The Magnum Force arms were a simple upgrade and lent a trick custom-performance look to our front suspension.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Weighing in at 4 pounds, 8 ounces with hardware, the Magnum Force arms offer only a 10-ounce weight advantage over the stock arms.The rod-end-style arms pivot on the stock adjustment bolts and use machined aluminum spacers to match the stock bushing width. The small tapered end of the spacers bears against the rod-end.The arms come in bare, unpainted steel. We masked the ball joint and shot ours in Hemi Orange urethane for a flashy look.Our control arms are going into a '71 Charger R/T. To prep for the new arms, measure the distance between the lower control-arm bumpstop and the frame with the car sitting at normal ride height. This will provide a reference for later ballpark settings. Jack up the car and support it with jackstands by the framerails, allowing the suspension to drop. Remove the brake calipers to get the brake line clear of the upper ball-joint stud.To separate the ball joint, first remove the cotter pin and nut. A pickle fork and hammer can be used, but it will destroy the seal and possibly damage the ball joint. Since this one was practically new, we used a ball-joint separator with a short screw to break it loose without damage.The inner control-arm pivots are attached with special adjustment cam bolts accessible through service plates in the inner fenders. It may take some wiggling to get them out.
With such a broad range of adjustment possible, it can be tricky to pick a baseline adjustment for the installation. With the rod-end-style arms, there are two points of adjustment possible: at the stock camber-adjustment cams, and at the rod-end. The idea is to set the rod-ends so the cams are near the center of their travel with the suspension at ride height and the spindle near the desired camber setting. Once installed, the A-arm must be disconnected from the frame mount to make any further adjustment at the rod-ends, so final fine-tuning of the alignment must be accomplished through the stock adjusting cams. We found that a baseline setting of three turns out of the rod-end (from its fully seated position) put us in the ballpark. A short exposure of threads is preferred to minimize the length of rod exposed to bending loads.Even though it takes a little finesse to line up the small spacers, the Magnum Force arms slip right into place, and the ball-joint end is bolted to the spindle.Set the factory adjustment cams to center. This is easily gauged by eyeballing the amount of the mounting slot visible past either side of the aluminum spacers. This setting will give the most adjustability for later alignment.Jack up the suspension by the lower control arm to the ride height noted earlier by the distance between the lower control arms and lower bumpstop. With the steering pointed straight ahead, using an angle finder or level, determine the angle of the brake disc in comparison to a vertical angle. You should be between 0 and -2 degrees. If it's way off, the control arm will need to come off the inner mounts, and the rod-ends adjusted in or out as required. Try to keep the adjuster cams in the center of their range when roughly setting camber. This will allow the most adjustability for setting the caster and camber without having to remove the A-arms later.On our application, a small flap of sheetmetal jutted up from the frame and interfered with the control arm at the bottom of travel. This can be cut off or bent down out of the way.Our solution was to fabricate these extension brackets from 1⁄8-inch steel to move the bumpstop under the arm. Note the elongated square hole for mounting the bumpstop, which allows fine-tuning its final position.We designed our bracket to attach at the factory bumpstop hole so we could return to the stock configuration later. The lower end can be bolted in by adding a drilled flange to the bottom and drilling a hole in the stock bracket. Or, it can simply be welded in.

(special chars)
[edit] Featured Article: "Manz, Felix (ca. 1498-1527)"
Felix Manz, one of the founders and first martyr of the original Swiss Brethren congregation in Zürich, Switzerland, was born about 1498, the son of a Zürich canon, acquired a thorough knowledge of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. When Zwingli came to Zürich in 1519, Manz joined him enthusiastically and became a regular attendant at Zwingli's Bible classes.
Differences of opinion soon arose when he and his associates demanded the abolition of tithes and interest. Zwingli hesitated, although he could not entirely close his mind to the Biblical basis for this demand (see his noted sermon on divine and human righteousness on 24 June 1523). Even more insistently the Brethren demanded the abolition of the Mass. When Zwingli left the decision in this matter in the hands of the Zürich city council the Brethren broke with him and henceforth held their own meetings in the home of Felix Manz's mother.
The question of baptism at once arose. Several fathers refused to have their children baptized. They were fined. On 17 January 1525 a public disputation was held in the city hall of Zürich to decide the issue, with Conrad Grebel and Felix Manz representing the Brethren. Zwingli was pronounced the victor. In consequence an order was issued on 18 January threatening those who would not have their children baptized within eight days with banishment from the city. Grebel and Manz were to desist from their arguing and submit to the opinion of "my lords (of the city council)."

By Sue Gilbert, MS, Nutritionist
Limiting fat in your baby's diet is like trying to fool Mother Nature, and it doesn't work. There is no evidence that limiting fat in baby's diet reduces their risk of cardiovascular disease later in life or even aids in weight control. Paradoxically, a child who gains too little weight in childhood is at greater risk of becoming an overweight adult because the caloric deficit metabolically programs their body to be more efficient in storing calories. If a baby's diet is chronically too low in fat it can lead to a condition known as Failure to Thrive, where baby gains too little weight, falls off the growth curve and begin to miss developmental milestones. Babies getting diets too low in fat and too low in essential fatty acids may suffer from visual problems and mental delays.
Mother Nature designed breast milk to contain 50% fat. Traditionally, babies were nursed for a whole year and had a diet rich in fat until their first birthday. But now, breast-feeding doesn't always last for 12 months, and solid foods play a larger role in an infant's diet. But, with the fear of fat well ingrained in most parents, some are, with all the best intentions, mistakenly restricting the fat in their baby's diet by limiting the fat in those solid foods. Mother nature designed a baby's diet to be rich in fats for as long as a year and we should try to replicate her plan as much as possible.
A couple of reasons for baby's high fat requirements during their first several months of life:
The breast milk of a vegetarian is different than that of a mom who consumes an omnivorous diet. A nursing mom who eats fish will have more of some types of fats than a nursing mom who does not. Due to these large variations in breast milk, it's hard to determine the best diet for an infant.
Several of the current suggestions and infant feeding guidelines center around these averages:
So when you begin to wean from breast or bottle to table foods, keep a high level of fat in your baby's diet. While adding fruits and vegetables during the first year is a good idea and helps to develop a taste preference for those foods, remember you also need to include some fat rich foods too, like egg yolks, whole milk, meats, fish, and vegetable oils. Some butter and milk mixed into baby's mashed potatoes is fine. Adding cream to the mashed peas, or egg yolks into their cereal is a way to ensure they get the calories and essential fats that they need.
When to reduce the fat
The time to begin the switch to a lower fat diets begins around a child's 2nd birthday, when you can begin the gradual change to lower fat dairy products, leaner meats, and fewer high fat foods. Until then, realize that your baby is unique from adults when it comes to nutritional needs and in particular, their need for fat.

I am new to zimbra webmail and am using firefox 2. Im using the advanced version of webmail.
Sometimes when I am sent a link in an email message the link is not clickable - just grayed out. If I use the standard version it always works. If I log out and back in again it sometimes fixes itself but not always.
For example I just registered for this site and was sent the auto reply with the link to complete my registration. I could not click this link in the advanced version. I switch to the standard and can now click it. I just switched back to advanced and now the link is clickable?
Any ideas on this frustrating issue?

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Baltimore Ravens backup running back Bernard
Pierce was listed as questionable on the final injury report as the team
continues preparations for Sunday's AFC Championship clash against the New
England Patriots.
Pierce rushed for 103 yards during Baltimore's 24-9 victory over the
Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card round, but carried the ball just five
times for 14 yards before aggravating a knee injury in the Ravens' thrilling
double-overtime win over the Denver Broncos last weekend.
The rookie running back sat out Thursday's practice before returning on a
limited basis on Friday, but said he will be ready to play come Sunday.
"I'm feeling good, man," Pierce told reporters. "Basically, it just took time.
I wasn't really getting any rest. I'm feeling pretty good this week. I'm going
to give it everything I've got. I was going to play, regardless."
Fullback Vonta Leach was limited on Thursday and Friday with knee and ankle
ailments and was also listed as questionable on the final injury report.
Linebacker Dennell Ellbere (ankle) and wide receiver David Reed (thigh) were
both limited on Friday and have been deemed questionable for Sunday.
Sixteen other players were listed as probable for Sunday's tilt, including
linebackers Terrell Suggs (achilles/bicep) and Ray Lewis (triceps), safety Ed
Reed (shoulder), and wide receivers Anquan Boldin (shoulder) and Torrey Smith
(back) -- all of whom practiced fully on Friday and are expected to play.
Backup cornerback Asa Jackson (thigh) missed practice all week and has been
ruled out for Sunday.

Letters from our readers
"Inside outsider"
(Feb. 11) I am in a quandary over who to vote for. We have Mitt Romney, who gives his full tithe to the Mormon Church; Newt Gingrich, who has a history of infidelities and a temper; Ron Paul, who is out in left field on foreign policy; and Rick Santorum, who would make a wonderful neighbor. All are flawed to a degree, so for me the choice will come down to who has the guts to make the real changes that our country so desperately needs. Only God knows, and may He grant us the wisdom to discern.
Diana Doran; Boise, Idaho
"More unmerited mercy"
(Feb. 11) Marvin Olasky reminds all of us that we are called to walk a fine line: being in the world, but not of the world. I appreciate his honesty and candor.
Dan Marshall; Monroe, N.C.
Olasky's warning in 1997 regarding proposed changes to the original NIV concerned me greatly. How sad that a Christian publisher would decide to make changes in Scripture merely to please our constantly degrading culture. How I appreciate WORLD for sticking with this battle for scriptural accuracy.
Lee Parlee; Rockford, Ill.
"More unmerited mercy" states that the former Evangelical Press Association code of ethics "insisted that members ... not do or say anything that could hurt the brands of other members." That is incorrect. The code said, "Whenever substantive mistakes are made, whatever their origin, they [members] should be conscious of their duty to protect the good name and reputation of others." Only a few years before the "Stealth Bible" controversy, EPA honored investigative reporting by Cornerstone magazine that exposed Christian speaker Mike Warnke. EPA does not discourage its members from critical reporting about Christians.
Doug Trouten, Executive Director, Evangelical Press Association
"Citizen first"
(Feb. 11) I know nothing about the Boston Bruins but was pleased with the story on goalie Tim Thomas. Let the liberal media say what they want; this man has courage and lots of it for declining the invitation to visit the White House to shake hands with the president.
D. Stromley; Brazil, Ind.
I disagree with Thomas' decision to skip the Boston Bruins' visit to the White House. Thomas not only snubbed the president but also his teammates. This event is a harmless, decades-old tradition. It wasn't the right venue to display his displeasure with the president.
John Cofer; Hinckley, Ill.
I agree completely with Thomas. And why has it become necessary for every president to invite all these professional and college sports teams to shake hands with him? If the president wants to honor someone, there are plenty of people who deserve recognition for regularly making a real difference in the lives of others.
Russell Guetschow; Vicksburg, Mich.
"Be specific"
(Feb. 11) As a high school English teacher, I have tried teaching writing without the five-paragraph formula and it is a disaster. Many students have no idea how to put together sentences to make a paragraph, much less put together paragraphs to make a coherent paper. I do require rewrites and the grading is onerous, yet students don't read the corrections or change their writing. Unless students want to learn to write, all of my corrections and instructions are in vain.
Jennifer Wright; Hardin, Mo.
I am a homeschooling mom and regularly require third and fourth drafts. Thank you for affirming that great writing requires so much work.
Debbie Slingo; New Smyrna Beach, Fla.
"The cross in the stone"
(Feb. 11) Amen to Andrée Seu's comments about the nudgings in our hearts, "coincidental" timings of songs, and images in rocks. How wonderful it is that such a God, in whose hands are the affairs of nations, bends to interact lovingly with individual sinners using that "still, small voice."
Linda Maphet; Canton, Ga.
Seu writes that "even Christians who say signs and wonders have ceased deny their own position whenever they ask for the healing of Uncle Bob's cancer." However, many cessationists, such as myself, believe the gifts of miracles and wonders ceased with the apostles, but they also believe that God is still performing miracles and wonders on the earth.
Jon Hueni; Bremen, Ind.
"A weight of hopelessness"
(Feb. 11) Thank you so much for the column on the growing unrest in Uganda. I was there in January and last summer. My Ugandan friends have come to accept corrupt government leaders as normal, a fact of life that cannot be changed. I don't want to be simplistic, but the best hope for Africa is the gospel.
Steve Walters; West Point, Neb.
Mindy Belz's column brought to mind a powerful quote from Susan Wise Bauer's The Story of the World: "The history of the twentieth century is, again and again, the story of men who fight against tyrants, win the battle, and then are overwhelmed by the unconquered tyranny in their own souls."
Jane Bentley; Mobile, Ala.
"Climbing out of the cradle"
(Feb. 11) I appreciated your excellent articles related to Black History Month, but I must take issue with your assertion that white Southerners turned to segregation in a backlash against the Populist Movement's courting of the black vote. Immediately after the Civil War most white Southern Democrats were already attempting to continue to subjugate former slaves. After forcing an end to Reconstruction, they intensified gradual and systematic efforts to enact horrible laws to deny black people their basic constitutional rights.
Kent Karmeier; Kansas City, Mo.
"Darwin: founder, destroyer"
(Feb. 11) I'm sad to see a fresh effort to apply Darwinian thought to the field of economics. The push for economic change today is based partly on the theory that we are a product of evolution competing for finite resources in a zero-sum world. I'm thankful to be created by and rely upon the resources of an infinite God.
Vance Wendelburg; Stafford, Kan.
"Mystic chords"
(Feb. 11) Thank you for Janie Cheaney's column on the Eisenhower Memorial. The proposed memorial would indeed be a travesty for the memory of Dwight Eisenhower, for our nation's capital, and for our nation.
Eric Wind; Washington, D.C.
"Singles' stories"
(Feb. 11) It is sad to see what Christians believe about singleness. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians, it is good to remain single. As a 22-year-old in a sea of college relationships, God has used me in far greater ways than He could have if I were in a relationship.
Molly Soneson; Bangor, Maine
"A family sacrifices"
(Feb. 11) I was chaplain to Ben Wise, the second son of Jean and Mary Wise to die in combat in Afghanistan, when he was with the 5-20 Infantry from 2003-2004 in Iraq. Ben was a good man with a tremendous sense of humor, and a brother in Christ. I also met his brother Jeremy [who died in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan in 2009]. I am honored to have known them both.
CH (MAJ) Kelly L. O'Lear, 4BCT Brigade Chaplain, 82nd Airborne Division
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
(Feb. 11) I believe your reviewer and many others may have missed an important point, namely, that the boy Oskar tested positive (although inconclusively) for autism. That sheds a whole new light on Oskar's character and behavior. Having some insight into mental disorders, I see the uniqueness and value of such a mind and the film as a serious and positive commentary on mental illness.
Mary Morman; Missoula, Mont.
More American youth say they are pro-life than pro-choice for the first time since the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision ("Life down under," Jan. 28, p. 56).

HARRISBURG, Ill. (AP) -- The state of Illinois is asking the federal government to reverse an agency's decision to deny aid to five tornado-ravaged counties in southern Illinois.
Gov. Pat Quinn says today's appeal was to the Department of Homeland Security. It comes just days after the Federal Emergency Management Agency rejected the state's request for the disaster relief, saying the estimated property damage from the Feb. 29 tornadoes that killed seven people in Harrisburg wasn't enough.
After meeting this week with federal lawmakers from Illinois, FEMA gave the state more time to submit revised damage estimates.
Sen. Dick Durbin has said FEMA rejected the state's aid request before all of the damage from the storms was calculated.
Illinois seeks the aid for Saline, Gallatin, Randolph, Union and Williamson counties.

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, FCC, Bing vs Google
Net Neutrality is taking a real pounding this week. The Heritage Foundation has come out shooting, calling for a major rollback in the FCC's authority, including repealing Net Neutrality legislatively. Also, The US Chamber of Commerce is calling upon the FCC to be held to the President's standards for regulatory review, which would certainly put Net Neutrality at risk. But its supporters press on.

Identify user roles and resource capabilities
- Define system roles and the capabilities/resources that the role can access.
- Architect
- As necessary; generally, once per iteration.
Identify distinct capabilities
Intelligent role division requires understanding the things in a system that users may be able to do (capabilities). Even if there is a heavy disposition to use a very limited number of roles, there is much value in identifying possible capabilities, then applying the principle of least privilege by binding capabilities to roles only when necessary. For example, even if the primary role abstraction is "user", it is perfectly valid to restrict sensitive operations to a subset of those users.
Capabilities are interesting operations on resources that should be mediated via an authorization/access control mechanism. For example, the obvious capabilities for a file on a file system are: read, write, execute, create, and delete. However, there are other operations that could be considered "meta-operations" that are often overlooked, particularly: reading and writing file attributes, setting file ownership, and establishing access control policy to any of these operations.
Map system roles to capabilities
Roles are a way of mapping sets of capabilities to classes of users. Traditionally, people have thought of roles only at the highest level, breaking them down into administrator, users and guest, or whatever natural division suits the system. This is a reasonable high-level abstraction, but in many systems it does not serve the principle of least privilege, which states that one should have the minimal privileges necessary, and no more.
On the other end of the spectrum, one can define one role for every set of resource capabilities one might want to allow. But that can quickly get complex if users need to be able to assign capabilities to other users dynamically. As a result, it is usually best to map roles to static sets of capabilities. This should be done by specifying the default set of capabilities for the role as well as the maximum set of capabilities for the role.
In most situations, the system itself is an implicit role (or set of roles) that has all capabilities and mediates access to them - particularly in a client-server application.
Role to capability mappings can be expressed as requirements stating that the given role should have access to a particular set of capabilities. Optionally, role information can be captured in a separate artifact.
Identify the attacker profile (attacker roles and resources)
When defining system requirements, one must have a good model specifying where threats could originate. Particularly, one should attempt to identify potential groups that could be a threat as well as the gross resources one expects them to have.
For example, one should consider acknowledging the following attacker roles in an architecture:
- Insiders - particularly those who have physical access to the building where critical infrastructure is kept. Most crimes are caused by people with some sort of insider access, including friends, building workers etc. While many insider attacks are due to some form of disgruntlement, more often they are crimes of opportunity.
- Script Kiddies - are those people who leverage exploits that are easy to find in the underground community. This group generally targets widely deployed software systems, due to the ready availability of exploits and targets. Such systems are often present as components in more complex systems.
- Competitors- who may have a reasonable budget and may be willing to fund illegal or borderline activity that is unlikely to be traced back to them (e.g., due to outsourcing to Russia).
- Governments - who are generally extraordinarily well funded.
- Organized crime - who choose few targets based on financial gain but are well funded.
- Activists - who will target organizations that are particularly unliked. This threat vector is easy to ignore, but could be a source of risk. For example, there are non-traditional activists, such as those that target security companies perceived to be untalented.
An attacker profile should be documented independently but could be incorporated into business requirements.

|O'Neal dancing in classic ballet
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Thursday, 26 February 2009 09:12
On the heels of a record-setting production of The Nutcracker, Colorado Ballet's first production in 2009 offers a fresh perspective on the Shakespearean classic, A Midsummer Night's Dream, opening Feb. 28 and running through March 14.
For the first time, Colorado Ballet will collaborate with the Colorado Children's Chorale, as well as feature two soloists and a live orchestra for this production, thus offering audiences of all ages a bountiful artistic production packed with mystical dance entertainment and enchanting musical artistry.
Emily O'Neal, 12, has been cast as Grecian and also as Empire Fairy for Colorado Ballet's upcoming production.
The orchestra, conducted by Adam Flatt, will perform the music of Felix Mendelssohn, which was inspired by the play and composed in 1826. The Colorado Children's Chorale will perform alongside the orchestra in accompanying the ballet at all performances. A total of 72 children, in two rotating casts will be singing during the first act.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream is a ballet for audiences of all types, especially families. Colorado Children's Chorale will enhance the experience, as audiences will really enjoy the collaborative performance," said Colorado Ballet artistic director Gil Boggs.
"It has been a goal of mine for Colorado Ballet to collaborate more with other arts organizations, and we hope it's only the first of many more to come among all of our talented performing arts groups here in the state."
A Midsummer Night's Dream was Christopher Wheeldon's first full-length ballet and was originally choreographed on Colorado Ballet and given its world premiere in Denver in 1997.
This will be the third time Colorado Ballet delights audiences with the dance rendition of Shakespeare's classic tale of nighttime mischief, young love and misplaced magic. Staying true to Wheeldon's creative vision, A Midsummer Night's Dream is being staged by ballet mistresses Sandra Brown and Lorita Travaglia.
Boggs said excitement is building in rehearsal in anticipation of opening night. "Wheeldon's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a ballet that was created on and for this company, and we take great pride in sharing again the early work of a now world-renowned choreographer with audiences right here in Colorado. This is a challenging work for our artists as dancers and actors, but one that is also deeply rewarding for all involved."
Performing the principal roles in Colorado Ballet's 2009 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream will be Maria Mosina and Chandra Kuykendall as Titania; Igor Vassine and Alexei Tyukov as Oberon; Koichi Kubo and Sean Omandam as Puck; Sharon Wehner and Sayaka Karasugi as Helena; Jesse Marks and Shunsuke Amma as Demetrius; Dana Benton and Caitlin Valentine as Hermia; Vyachesslav Buchkovsky and Christopher Ellis as Lysander.
Joining two full company casts in performing the ballet will be nearly 50 students from the central and south studios of the Academy of Colorado Ballet. Academy students will be featured in many roles, including baby cupid, mini Puck, changeling, peacock fairy, Grecian/empire fairy, wood sprite, flower girl and wedding attendant.
In addition to eight ticketed performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Colorado Ballet will also present a student matinee on Feb. 27 for school children.
Performances are scheduled as follows: Saturday, Feb. 28 at 2 and 7:30 p.m., Sunday, March 1 at 2 p.m., Saturday, March 7 at 2 p.m., Sunday, March 8 at 2 p.m., Wednesday, March 11 at 6:30 p.m., Friday, March 13 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 14 at 2 p.m.

TO HEAR JAMIE REIDY TELL IT, HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE SORT of slacker who succeeds. He did enough work to get decent grades in high school and at Notre Dame University, which he attended on an ROTC scholarship. After graduation, First Lieutenant Reidy spent three years on easy duty, much of it in Japan, where he chafed at military discipline but stayed out of bunkers, except on the golf course. When force reductions allowed him to leave the Army early, he jumped at the chance, even though he had no idea what his next job would be. Which is how he happened to be unemployed, living at his parents' New Jersey home, and answering the phone in boxer shorts when a Pfizer recruiter called.
familiar military culture with rigorous training, rigid sales scripts, and an unyielding requirement to call on 40 doctors a week. But he soon realized that no one checked up on him. He worked from home, and no one knew if he started his day at 10 a.m. or even went AWOL—as long as he made his quota and enough doctors signed for samples every week. Within months, he had found a new way to spend weekdays at home in his boxers: He launched on the less-than-sterling career he chronicled in his tell-all book, Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman. He started work late and often took off at three in the afternoon. He persuaded doctors to sign undated sample receipts, which allowed him to fake sales calls. Once, he traveled to London, England, without taking vacation time, even pretending to be in an Indiana parking lot when he returned his boss's calls.
In October of 2000, Reidy began a second career in pharmaceutical sales, which he took much more seriously. He often worked a full day selling oncology drugs for Eli Lilly, where he and his sales partner also reached number one in the country. The company promoted him to oncology sales trainer—his favorite job in pharma—one he likens to the roving batting instructors of minor-league baseball. Lilly fired him when Hard Sell was published in March of this year. His next book, about the Lilly oncology years, will be called Hard Feelings. Reidy lives in Manhattan Beach, California. He is writing a screenplay, and closing a deal for the movie rights to Hard Sell.
First, let's talk about the slacking. Are there stories about skipping work at Pfizer that aren't in the book? Could this book have been 500 pages long?
There are other stories I left out. Some of them I just forgot about. Like, I was at an Army reunion in Arkansas and my friend said, "What the hell? How come you didn't tell the story about the flowers?" I had completely forgotten about our first Army reunion in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was a Friday and I was playing hooky, but I sent flowers to an office to celebrate their grand opening. I called the florist in Modesto, California, and placed the order there. So of course it looked like I went in the flower shop and ordered.

Heres a finished sketch of Jupiter from a Dec 14 observation lasting 90 minutes under 4-6/10 Pickering seeing. Under these conditions then features never looked etched or sharp or crisp but reveal in a leisurely manner with a fair amount of softness. Its not BAD seeing but its work to make things out with any certainty that show without question under 7/10 or better.
Some points of note....
The South Polar region didnt cough up a single spot b ut in this seeing I dont feel too bad. Is 1" or less in detail and the seeing really was never there definitively. What DID show in place of the white spots were dark regions. These dark spots are the surrounding gases of a dark value which was strong enough to come through owing to there more generous surface area - but never a single spot. And I tried.
GRS had color unmistakebly but its buddy did not. The Monolith was seen to come and go.
The grey part of the SEB preceding the GRS has a little mottled with at least two spots darker withn it.
The spot or circular hollow appeared double which Im guessing is the seeing morphing the spot hither and yon. This was a persistent effect however and I was frankly surprised it wasnt in a CCD image of comparable CM shot the same night. Odd.
Festoons have appeared blue in good seeinjg but tonight was merely greyish. A gentle low contrast wash filled he EQ zone but only the center swath. Festoons were wonderfully smooth.
NEB had interesting dips and hollows. Indeed there was itnerior detail too but fleeting and I didnt document its exact position.
The NTB was kind of ignored, sorry.
The North Polar region had this darkening along its edge as drawn.
Magnification ceiling was 200x though forays into higher ags were tried with somewhat profitable but limited results.
I DID resolve Ios flattened diffraction appearance at 364x - sketch coming. The seeing made this possible but here the magnification truly needed here showed well just how soft the seeing was and could be. Through it all the egg shape was seen but with work - such is the challenge of 5 pickering.
Hope you like.
