| DA01Intro
Many years ago, Malyn Varen was exiled from the College of Winterhold for pursuing questionable research with soul gems. Malyn was trying to find a way to prolong his spirit, and he believed that storing his soul inside the Daedric artifact, Azura's Star, would prevent him from dying. Unfortunately for him, one of the properties of the Star was that black souls - the souls of sapient, mortal beings - could not enter it. As such, he began experiments to modify the Star's properties so that it would accept black souls.
The further Malyn progressed toward this goal, the more Azura tormented him. The artifact slowly drove Malyn insane, causing him to hear voices and see people that were not there, and eventually murder one of his students. After this, he was exiled from the college, collected a band of followers, and continued his research at Ilinalta's Deep, an abandoned Imperial outpost that had mostly collapsed into the adjacent lake. There, he continued his work, eventually succeeding in capturing his own soul inside the modified Azura's Star and achieving a state of immortality.
To receive this quest, the Dragonborn must first talk with Aranea Ienith at the Shrine of Azura, south of Winterhold. She will say that Azura has chosen the Dragonborn as her champion, and that they must find an elven mage who can turn the brightest star to the darkest night.
Head to the The Frozen Hearth inn in Winterhold, Once there, talk to Dagur and ask him about the elf. He will say that the elf is called Nelacar, and that he rents a room in the inn.
The Dragonborn must talk to Nelacar and intimidate, persuade, or bribe the necessary information out of him. He will say that his mentor, Malyn Varen, was experimenting with Azura's Star, and that the last known location of Malyn was Ilinalta's Deep.
Ilinalta's Deep can be found west of Riverwood, near and to the north of The Lady Stone. There is a trap door atop a partially submerged tower that leads into the underground complex.
Ilinalta's DeepEdit
After entering, the Dragonborn should go past the crucified skeleton and enter a flooded room with a partially open doorway on the left. They must go through the doorway and down the subsequent hallway. Following the hallway is a small room containing a skeleton and the first of many conjurers (necromancers at higher levels) found throughout the dungeon. In the next room are two more conjurers, and a skeleton lurks in the room on the left, which contains some Food and a potion of waterbreathing.
The door on the right leads to the next area, with a conjurer, a skeleton, and a wolf. The underwater passage behind the waterfall on the left leads to a hidden room with a chest and the Alteration skill book, Breathing Water, floating near the ceiling.
The right-hand passage in the next room leads to two conjurers and a skeleton. There is a small sleeping quarters to the left, as well as an arcane enchanter, an alchemy lab, and several useful pieces of loot. The door on the right has an apprentice lock, with a chest and some potions on the other side.
At the end of the next passage is a high-level conjurer, on the far side of a flooded depression that cuts across the room. There is a partially submerged stairway on the far right side of the depression that can be used to approach the conjurer from the safety of the water. Under the water near the stairs is a door with an adept lock. Loot on the other side includes a chest containing a spell tome, potions, and .
Back in the partially flooded area, there is an altar with a leveled soul gem on the right and a pull chain on the left that raises the bridge across the water that was just crossed. A door on the left leads to a passage containing a cupboard and an apprentice-locked door on the right that opens onto a small room with a couple of potions and alchemical ingredients. Up the stairs on the far side of the room is a barred door. The protagonist must activate the bar to move it and go through the door to come onto a small landing area overlooking the first room of the dungeon. Following the landing to the right and through another door leads to the final section of the dungeon, Ilinalta's Deluge.
The Dragonborn should then follow the path down to reach an area with two conjurers. There is a chest, and quite a few potions and soul gems scattered throughout this room and the smaller one to the right. The passage to the left leads down a path, through another door, and into a room occupied by a conjurer and a skeleton, with cages along both walls. Through the door at the end of the room is a set of stairs opening onto a medium-sized room with a high-level conjurer and four skeletons. There is no loot in here, so the Dragonborn should continue straight up the stairs to the left.
In the room at the top of the stairs, Malyn Varen's skeleton sits peacefully in a chair, with the Broken Azura's Star at its feet, his grimoire on the floor next to his chair. Also in the room is a chest with a leveled amount of loot. With the Broken Azura's Star in hand, the dungeon can be exited via the ladder that leads to the ceiling.
Cleansing the StarEdit
There are now two options to fix the Broken Azura's Star:
- Give it to Aranea Ienith at the Shrine of Azura, and recieve Azura's Star
- Give it to Nelacar in the Frozen Hearth inn in Winterhold, and receive the Black Star
Speaking to the desired person, with the Broken Azura's Star in hand, will begin this final step. Whichever option is chosen, the Dragonborn must enter the Star to cleanse it of Malyn Varen's soul. The former is warped out of the Star several seconds after defeating the latter's soul inside, regardless of the status of Malyn's three Dremora henchmen.
Once Malyn's soul has been defeated, the Dragonborn is pulled out of the Star, thanked, and given either a working Azura's Star by Aranea Ienith, or the Black Star by Nelacar. The former can trap only white souls (those of non-sapient creatures) while the latter, according to Nelacar, can trap only black souls (the souls of sapient beings). In reality, however, The Black Star can hold either white or black souls, just like a black soul gem.
Additionally, bringing the Star to Aranea makes her available as a follower. While giving the Star to Nelacar does not provide a companion option, The Black Star has the advantage of a much more abundant source of grand souls, as all black souls are of the grand level. Meanwhile, only white souls from exceptionally powerful monsters such as the mammoth, are grand souls.
|Journal Entry
Aranea, a priestess of Azura, says I am destined to find "an elven man, who can turn the brightest star as black as night." She believes he is in Winterhold.
Nelacar has told me that his old mentor,Varen, was experimenting on Azura's Star. Malyn's last known location is Ilinalta's Deep.
I have Azura's Star, but it's been corrupted by Malyn Varen's magic. I could take the Star to either Aranea or Nelacar to have it repaired.
I am inside Azura's Star and must defeat Malyn Varen's soul in order for Azura to purify the Star and bring me out.
I have cleansed Azura's Star, the infinite Soul Gem. It is mine to do with as I see fit.
I am inside Azura's Star and must defeat Malyn Varen's soul in order for Nelacar to bring me out and complete the Black Star.
I have completed the Black Star, an infinite Black Soul Gem. It is now mine to do with as I please.
- Malyn's skeleton in Ilinalta's Deluge can be reanimated with an apprentice-level reanimation spell.
- Defeating Malyn's Dremora is an effective way to collect Daedra Hearts. Loot the Dremora's bodies before being warped out of the Star.
- Trying to pickpocket Malyn will prompt the message "This person has already caught you."
- If Malyn is killed, a necromancer or two may attack his killer somewhere in Skyrim. See A Scrawled Note for more details.
- If Ilinalta's Deep and Deluge were cleared before starting this quest, new opponents will be present there when for the quest, even though Ilinalta's Deep will still be marked as "cleared" on the Skyrim map.
- Aranea Lenith speaks of "a fort threatened by water, but not yet touched by it." She thinks this description applies to the College of Winterhold, but it also partly applies to Ilinalta's Deep, since it is also a fort threatened by water. However, Illinalta's Deep has obviously been damaged and, thus, touched by water indicating that Aranea spoke of the College of Winterhold.
- Completing the quest with Nelacar counts as helping a citizen for the quest "Thane of Winterhold".
- If choosing the Black Star over Azura's Star and then returning to Aranea, she will respond by calling the Dragonborn a blasphemer and telling you to leave before she kills you for defiling Azura's artifact, however she will not attack.
- Alternatively, if Azura's Star is chosen over the Black Star, Nelacar will also be angry towards the Dragonborn.
- Both the Black Star and Azura's Star count as a Daedric Artifact, and both count toward the Oblivion Walker and Daedric Influence achievements/trophies.
- When first entering The Frozen Hearth after starting the quest, Dagur can be overheard describing to Nelacar a smell that was like "a horrible monster was turned inside out and then exploded". This may be a reference to a scene in the movie Galaxy Quest in which Tech Sgt. Chen's first attempt at using a real "digital conveyor" does exactly that to the monster threatening Captain Taggart on the planet's surface below.
- The wall behind Malyn's skeleton casts two humanoid shadows flanking his corpse.
- If the Broken Azura's Star is obtained before starting the quest, it can only be given to Nelacar, not Aranea Ienith.

Shipwrecked silver begins voyage back to Spain
TAMPA, Fla. A 17-ton haul of silver coins, lost for two centuries in the wreck of a sunken Spanish galleon, began its journey back to its home country on Friday after the deep-sea explorers who lifted it to the surface lost their claim to ownership.
Two Spanish military C-130 cargo planes took off after noon from a Florida Air Force base with 594,000 silver coins and other artifacts aboard. They were packed into the same white plastic buckets in which they were brought to the U.S. by Tampa, Fla.-based Odyssey Marine Exploration in May 2007.
"These are emotional and moving moments for me and all my colleagues behind me," Spain's ambassador to the United States, Jorge Dezcallar de Mazar, said Friday. He stood on the windy tarmac at MacDill Air Force base, flanked by an entourage of more than two dozen Spanish officials and others.
"History will make us who we are, and today we are witnessing a journey that started 200 years ago," he said. "This is not money. This is historical heritage."
The planes were expected to make two refueling stops and land about 24 hours later at one of two air force bases in Madrid in a high-security operation.
Odyssey made an international splash when it discovered the wreck, believed to be the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, off Portugal's Atlantic coast near the Straits of Gibraltar. At the time, the coins were estimated to be worth as much as $500 million to collectors, which would have made it the richest shipwreck haul in history.
The Mercedes was believed to have had 200 people aboard when it was sunk in 1804.
Spain went ahead with transporting the treasure despite a last-ditch, longshot claim to the treasure by Peru.
On Thursday, the Peruvian government made an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to block transfer of the treasure to give that nation more time to make arguments in federal court about its claim to being the rightful owner. But that appeal was denied Friday by Justice Clarence Thomas.
Peru had argued the gold and silver was mined, refined and minted in that country, which at the time was part of the Spanish empire.
U.S. courts had previously rejected claims by descendants of the Peruvian merchants who had owned the coins aboard the Mercedes.
Peru's ambassador to the United States, Harold Forsyth, said the nation would seek redress in Spain via diplomatic channels.
"The ship departed from the port of Callao (adjacent Lima) with a cargo of coins minted in Peru, extracted from Peruvian mines with arms and sweat of Peruvians," he said.
Peru did not gain its independence until 1824, but its lawyers have argued that it was more than a simple colony, being the local seat of the Spanish crown, when the treasure-laden ship was sunk two decades earlier.
Peruvian cultural authorities say their country's legal case would have been stronger if it had signed the 2001 U.N. Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, which states that countries of origin have priority in deciding the fate of cultural artifacts found in shipwrecks.
Odyssey - which uses a remote-controlled submersible to explore the depths and bring the tiniest of items to the surface - had previously argued that it was entitled to all or most of the treasure. The Spanish government filed a claim in U.S. District Court soon after the coins were flown back to Tampa, contending that it never relinquished ownership of the ship or its contents. A federal district court first ruled in 2009 that the U.S. courts didn't have jurisdiction, and ordered the treasure returned.

Not sure if this is old. If it is, I'm sorry. Let it sink to the innards of the forum. Anyway, after first leaving the cave and first entering the desert(shifting sands) in Aurora, after leaving Walter behind, you come across a vision of him sitting at a table. RIGHT after that, you will find Walter being attacked by Shadows. The Shadows can be killed, will never attack you, and will infinitely spawn so long as you stay in a general 20-30 ft diameter of Walter. You can also go to the sanctuary during this time, which is great for changing out weapons, obviously. Like I said, if it's old, my bad. But it helped me so I'm mentioning it. Only drawback is you cannot earn guild seals from the kills. Someone else test it out and let me know how it goes.

New materials, especially those that held promise for doing more with less, fascinated Charles and Ray Eames throughout their careers. Their fascination led to inventive modern furniture, such as the Molded Plastic Chair. Designed in 1948, it was the first plastic chair to be mass produced
The current models look exactly the same as the originals. They remain unupholstered, in keeping with the Eameses requirement that materials be expressed honestly and unselfconsciously. In fact, these were the first one-piece plastic chairs to be left uncovered
At the same time, the chairs are better than ever. For example, the shell is now manufactured using more environmentally friendly, high-impact plastic.
Wayfair backs a 12-year warranty. Should you experience any problems with your Eames Molded Plastic Chair, Herman Miller will cover the cost of fixing it for you
Clean, simple form sculpted to fit the body.
First presented at the Museum of Modern Art in 1948, the chairs have achieved a pervasive presence that proves the staying power of good design.
Today's recreation looks the same as the original.

|CONVERSION GAS IMPORTS, L.P. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|LNG RECEIVING TERMINAL THAT PRIMARILY USES COMPENSATED SALT CAVERN STORAGE AND METHOD OF USE - In the past, "compensated" salt caverns have operated with a compensating liquid, such as brine to displace a stored liquid, such as crude oil, when the stored liquid is needed on the surface. Virtually all of the stored liquid in a compensated salt cavern can be expelled from the salt cavern when it is filled with the compensating liquid. In the past, "uncompensated" salt caverns have been used to store gases, such as natural gas. Uncompensated caverns operate without any compensating liquid; instead they rely on pressure. Some of the stored gas (cushion gas) must always be left in an uncompensated salt cavern. This invention breaks with convention and uses a compensating liquid in a salt cavern to store gases which is a technique believed to be previously unknown. "Cushion gas" is not required because the compensating liquid displaces virtually all of the gas in the salt cavern.

It was our turn to bring the refreshments for the Garden Club meeting. Becky and I made a quinoa salad as well as a couple of cheese spreads. Becky thought I should warn the group that one of the cheeses was a bit on the spicy side. She also suggested that I explain the salad just in case someone was unfamiliar with quinoa.
Some members were familiar with it and had tried it, and some weren't. Almost all gave it a taste, and we didn't hear any complaints. As an English teacher and word junkie, I guess what made me happiest was the ensuing discussion with several members about the word "quinoa."
First, I suppose I should explain for the uninitiated what we are talking about. The Great and Mighty Google tells us although quinoa is a recent appearance on U.S. grocery shelves, it was cultivated in the Andes region 3,000 to 5,000 years ago. It is a pseudo-cereal which means that although the plant is not part of the grass family, its grain is eaten just as we eat the grain of grasses such as wheat, corn and rice.
Quinoa is very high in protein and contains high amounts of fiber, iron and calcium. It is gluten-free, which seems to be a good selling point these days. It also tastes good.
Back at the Garden Club, some of the people at our table weren't sure what I was talking about when I said it was a "KEEN-wah" salad until I spelled it for them. "Oh," more than one person said, "I thought it was pronounced 'Kwi-NO-uh."
"Me, too," I said. "I found out how it was pronounced a few years ago when I taught with a hipster Northern California teacher who brought some for her lunch."
Our Garden Club conversation stuck with me and as often happens when I encounter unusual words, I pondered further. "It's the QU at the beginning that is the issue," I decided.
Q is one of the stranger letters of the alphabet. Back in elementary school I learned that Q and U are partners and are always together. I also was taught it is pronounced "Kw" as in, "Be quiet, Norman. Quit messing around and get back to work. Quickly, young man!"
Imagine my surprise when I learned later in school that an Australian airline, Qantas, was spelled without a U. Up to the time I saw it written, I was clueless that Qantas was U-less. Later, in geography class, I discovered that not only was the Mideast country of Iraq spelled without a U, but another country in the region, Qatar, was, like Qantas, U-less.
On my way to becoming a teacher of literature, I became acquainted with the great Spanish novel Don Quixote. Before enlightenment I had made the same assumption I made with "quinoa" and figured it was pronounced Don "QUIK-soat." Just another example of that old saying about what often happens when one assumes.
I eventually learned the name should be pronounced in the Spanish style as "Kee-HO-tay." Interestingly, in English its adjective form, "quixotic," is pronounced as you might expect: "quick-SOT-ic." Consistency is not one of the strengths of English pronunciation.
Thinking about words beginning with Q, and being a big fan of words games, I remember how excited I was to learn that the word "Qi" is acceptable in both Scrabble and Words With Friends. Sometimes spelled "chi," it is the Chinese word for energy or life force. Pronounced "CHAY," it is another word that does not follow the expected English rule. Why quibble? Rules, smules, I say. As long as it can be used to make a play, go for it.
I am glad the quinoa seemed to go over well with the Garden Club folks. I am already thinking about the next time it is our turn to bring food. Perhaps we'll bring a nice quiche.

when I start engine it surges bad. when I accelerate up to half throttle its okay, but more than that,it falls flat on its face and misses and backfires through the exhaust like its real lean.i unhooked the iac to stop the surge,but it wont idle cold. the weirdest thing is that it gets worse when its below 45 degrees. as the temp warms 50 to 60,it starts running good again. Ive replaced the mass air flow,map sensor,coil and coil wire,and the tps. Ive checked for vacuum leaks and I replaced the fuel pressure reg and the ignition module about a year ago. the engine now has 222500 miles and still runs strong except for this.

Managing brownfield and industrial land
A wide diversity of habitats develop on brownfield and industrial land. These sites contain various soil types as a result of human activities such as quarrying, industry, construction, transport networks and so on.
Such habitats frequently contain plants which are valuable to insects, for example, ruderal plants that colonise bare ground. If undisturbed, many ruderal plants also continue to flower during late summer providing bumblebees with essential late-season nectar and pollen.
The aim of managing such sites should be to retain the variety of habitats including bare ground, short ruderal, tall ruderal, and scrubbier/denser areas. Small areas can be cleared each year on a rotational cycle and some scrub should be allowed to develop without letting it invade the whole site. Amenity grassland on these sites can also be managed to increase the number of flowering plants present.
For more information on managing brownfield and industrial land for bumblebees, click here to download our factsheet.
Please be aware that each site is unique and the recommended management approach will depend on local site conditions and the historical or traditional management regime. For site-specific advice, please contact your local Bumblebee Conservation Trust Conservation Officer – firstname.lastname@example.com.
"We are facing a fundamental problem with the decline of bees and other pollinators. They have an absolutely crucial role in pollinating many of our important crops - without them we will face higher food costs and potential shortages."
Professor Douglas Kell
BBSRC Chief Executive

Draw video frames to a canvas and analyse / modify pixel data
This is a small helper module that allows you to substitute a video element with a canvas element. This can be useful when you want to do pixel manipulation of the rendered images, or in situations when a video element does not behave as you expect.
This was primarily written to work with the rtc-media library so here's an example of how it works there:
var media = require'rtc-media';var fakevid = require'rtc-canvas'; mediarenderfakeviddocumentbody;
Normally, the
media().render call will create a
<video> element in
the specified target container. In this case, however,
intercepts the request and creates it's own fake video element that is
passed back to the render call.
A processing pipeline has been included to assist with manipulating the canvas on the fly. Adding a processor to the pipeline is simply a matter of adding a pipeline processor available on the returned fake video:
// add a processor canvaspipelineadd // examine the pixel data // if we've modified the pixel data and want to write that back // to the canvas then we must return a truthy value return true;;
A more complete example is shown below:
var media = require'rtc-media';var fakevideo = require'rtc-canvas';var vid; var channels = imageDatadata; var rgb = ; var rgbAvg; var alpha; var ii; // check that we have channels is divisible by four (just as a safety) if channelslength % 4 !== 0 return; // iterate through the data // NOTE: decrementing loops are fast but you need to know that you will // hit 0 using this logic otherwise it will run forever (only 0 is falsy) for ii = channelslength; ii -= 4; // get the rgb tuple rgb = channelsii channelsii + 1 channelsii + 2; // get the alpha value alpha = channelsii + 3; // calculate the rgb average rgbAvg = rgb0 + rgb1 + rgb2 / 3; // update the values to the rgb average channelsii = channelsii + 1 = channelsii + 2 = rgbAvg; return true; // capture media mediarendervid = fakevideodocumentbody; // handle draw events on the fake video vidpipelineaddhandleDraw;
frame events
In addition to providing the opportunity to analyse and modify pixel data
rtc-canvas module also provides the a custom
frame event for
detecting when a new frame has been drawn to the canvas.
A simple example can be found below:
var media = require'rtc-media';var fakevid = require'rtc-canvas';var canvas = fakeviddocumentbody; // capture the media and render to the fake canvas mediarendercanvas; // listen from frames in the canvas canvasaddEventListener'frame' console.log'captured frame at ' + evtdetailtick;;
By default rtc-canvas will draw at 25fps but this can be modified to capture at a lower frame rate for slower devices, or increased if you have a machine with plenty of grunt.
Create a fake video element for the specified target element.
fps - the redraw rate of the fake video (default = 25)

- How to Read a Study Record
In this prospective clinical trial, patients who sign an approved informed consent for ductoscopy to assess etiology of Pathologic nipple discharge (PND) will be enrolled in the study. Consented patients who have been diagnosed with a solitary papilloma within the discharging duct will be recruited to have interventional ductoscopy.
Patients who are identified ductoscopically with a solitary non-sessile papilloma will undergo an attempted ductoscopic papillomectomy (DP). Patients with ductoscopic findings other than single non-sessile papilloma will undergo standard ductoscopically guided microductectomy. The investigators will investigate whether the ductoscopic basket can be used as a safe endoscopic extraction instrument without adverse events. Histopathological evaluation will be performed to confirm the ductoscopic diagnosis and to determine the existence of any malignant tissue.

So Bashar Assad of Syria is making threatening statements about causing a war with Israel .Why don't the Americans with the European Union tell him, in no uncertain terms, to stop this war mongering otherwise there will be dire consequences soon. It's all fine and dandy to hide behind the Iranian coattails, but sooner or later the Syrian regime will get what's due them. Without their Iranian masters they are weak and incompetent and provoking a conflict in the region will lead to his eventual downfall (Bashar Assad)

Living With Abandon - Poem by Masharia kanyari
Today I'll light up a cigarette
To hell with the asthma
I have never smoked in my life
but I'll smoke it like I missed it
I shall then watch a movie
One that I've watched a million times
and I will enjoy it
Listen to a Bob Marley track
And swing my head to the beat
Call up my girlfriend;
tell her that I miss her
I will groom my cat
While basking in the sun
I'll have white coffee with an old friend
And her husband; congratulate them
On her pregnant status
I will smile at the sky and hold my hands to the breeze
Submit my paper dreams to the universe
And tell her 'Take care of these! '
I'll toast a tot of water to the dead
and the yet to die
I shall ask for God's forgiveness
and wisdom from up high
I will have a nice day
I will not think about my boss
who I am bound to see tomorrow
Something I dread about my job
I am going to live in the moment
The minute, this life!

Zucchini PizzasThe first harvest in many Pennsylvania gardens yields an abundance of zucchini. Since I love both pizza and zucchini, I merged the two into a yummy quick and easy fork-and-knife pizza dinner! The big zucchinis work best for this recipe, but the smaller zucchinis work well for this dish too. It's low in carbohydrates and sugar, but packed with fiber and calcium! Feel free to add your own favorite pizza toppings, like mushrooms, onions and peppers for a fun twist.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
Total Cost: $7.02
1 extra large zucchini, 2 large OR 3 medium zucchini
14 ounces or 1 ¾ cup pizza or spaghetti sauce
1 ½ cup Italian blend cheese
34 slices turkey pepperoni
Preheat oven to 400. Cut the zucchini into ½ inch slices and lay out on a large rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over all of the zucchini slices. Top with the Italian cheese and turkey pepperoni. Bake the pizzas for 20-23 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown. Serve hot!

The Broadway hit Rock of Ages took Arena Rock hits from the late '80s by groups like Journey, Whitesnake, Styx and Bon Jovi and cobbled them together for an amped-up evening of Rock in the theater, particularly appealing to people who were, um, all about partying back in the day. Now it's on the road, touring from city to city and inviting folks to relive their ill-spent youth — and have a raucous good time. It's at the Aronoff Center starting tonight, running through Nov. 7.
Has it really been 14 years since Beavis and Butt-head (dis)graced MTV and 15 years since the duo invaded movie houses with Beavis and Butt-head Do America, which, despite being a bit of a letdown as a full-length movie, is still one of my all-time favorite moviegoing experiences due to the unprecedented enthusiasm put forth by the sold-out, opening-night crowd at — of all places — the Western Hills Showcase?
The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has two stages: The Robert S. Marx Theatre is the mainstage with 626 seats; the Thompson Shelterhouse (which is in fact a one-time park shelter) can accommodate an audience of 225. Both have thrust-style stages surrounded by audience seating on three sides, making the action is close and intimate in both theaters.
On the Marx Stage:
· Fly by Trey Ellis and Ricardo Khan (Sept. 7-Oct. 5, 2013). The story of World War II's Tuskegee Airmen is told using live action, video projections and tap dancing. This new work will be directed by Khan, its co-creator.
· Cabaret by John Kander and Fred Ebb (Oct. 19-Nov. 16, 2013). Set in Berlin in the 1930s, and especially in the decadent Kit Kat Club, it's a musical love story with lots of choreography. Marcia Milgrom Dodge, a Broadway veteran, will direct.
· A Christmas Carol, adapted by Howard Dallin (Nov. 27-Dec. 29, 2013). Michael Evan Haney will direct the holiday show with a cast of 30 for the 21st time.
· Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris (Jan.18-Feb. 16, 2014). This one won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for best play. Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's classic play, A Raisin in the Sun, the play is explores racial attitudes in a Chicago neighborhood in 1959 and 2009. Artistic Associate Timothy Douglas (who staged the current production of A Trip to Bountiful) is the director.
· Pride and Prejudice, adapted by Joseph Hanreddy and J. R. Sullivan (March 8-April 5, 2014). Robison will direct this lavish, full-scale production of Jane Austen's classic romance.
· Venus in Fur by David Ives (April 19-May 17, 2014). Maybe you know Ives' very funny collection of skits, All in the Timing. This is a full-length comedy about a director seeking the right actress who gets more than he bargained for. Artistic Associate KJ Sanchez is staging this one.
On the Shelterhouse Stage:
· Seven Spots on the Sun by Martín Zimmerman (Sept. 28-Oct. 27, 2013). The first of several world premieres for the season, this one is a fable of revenge and redemption set in a Latin American village just after a brutal civil war. Sanchez is directing this one.
· The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) by the Reduced Shakespeare Company (Nov. 9-Dec. 29, 2013). The same guys who abbreviated Shakespeare, the Bible and American history are at it again, premiering their latest abridgment right here in River City.
· 4000 Miles by Amy Herzog (Feb. 8-March 9, 2014). Robison will stage this tale of a pair of unlikely roommates, a 91-year-old grandmother and her 21-year-old grandson.
· A Delicate Ship by Anna Ziegler (March 22-April 20, 2014). Another world premiere production, this one by an impressive young playwright who offers a humorous and heartbreaking look at love, memory and decisions that change lives. Michael Haney will direct. (Haney, perhaps Cincinnati's best local director, was the Playhouse's Associate Artistic Director from 2001 to 2013; starting in the fall, he joins Douglas and Sanchez in a trio of "artistic associates" who each will direct two shows.)
· The North Pool by Rajiv Joseph (May 3-June 1, 2014). Rajiv Joseph's riveting psychological drama is the story of a transfer student from the Middle East whose life quickly becomes complicated. Douglas is the director.
I recently spent three days in Louisville at the 34th annual Humana Festival of New American Plays. Actors Theatre of Louisville annually assembles a lineup of productions that offers a fascinating cross-section of contemporary American theater.
I found this year's array to be an especially pleasing collection of works: It included two excellent comedies, a thoughtful drama, two experimental performance pieces from creative ensembles and an inventive piece to showcase interns (and a Louisville hotel/museum showplace). A bill of 10-minute plays was clever and creative, and only a musical play was a disappointment.
Last night before the sold-out opening performance of Cincinnati Opera's performance of Carmen, soprano Margaret Russo was named the winner of the first "Opera Idol" contest. Russo — a 25-year-old copywriter from Zionsville, Ind. — will receive a $3,500 contract with Cincinnati Opera.
It was sad news to hear that Thom Shaw, a well-known local printmaker and artist, passed away July 6 from complications due to diabetes. Unfortunately, I heard the news too late to write something in time for the memorial service that took place July 17.
On Saturday (July 14) I spent much of my day attending two excellent events. In the afternoon, I was part of a full-to-the-rafters Music Hall (every single seat was sold, meaning more than 3,400 people were in attendance!) for the final Champions Concert, featuring 11 groups that were judged to be the best in their respective categories. I had a chance to see Fairfield High's Choraliers, named the outstanding Show Choir, as well as the heartfelt Jeremy Winston Chorale, from Wilberforce, Ohio, winners of the Gospel category. (Interestingly, Jeremy Winston was once a member of The Aeolians from Oakwood University of Huntsville, Alabama, the group that won the Spirituals category.) Several children's groups, notably the Vocalista Angels from Indonesia (Children's Choirs) and Wenzhou Children Art School Boys Choir from China (Young Children's Choirs), demonstrated incredible talent and discipline with kids who are still elementary school. The Music Contemporanea category winner was Stellenberg Girls Choir from South Africa, yet another group — this one comprised of approximately 80 adolescent girls — directed by André van der Merwe.Among the several chamber group categories, I was most moved by the smallest group: Seven beautiful young women from Latvia, performing as "Latvian Voices," performed two numbers as much like chant as singing, using smooth harmonics and powerful vocal ranges as their music rose and fell, with single and multiple voices weaving in and out. Quite remarkable, and a kind of invitation to the next games — to be held in Riga, Latvia, in 2014.
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park Producing Artistic Director Ed Stern has shared some news about his health with the theater's patrons, using a letter in the program book for Over the Tavern, which opens this Thursday. (It's had preview performances this weekend.)
I've extolled the virtues of White Christmas at the Covedale Center in my CityBeat review, but I'm not the only one who feels that way. The judging panel from the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) has chimed in with an award for Dan Doerger, playing the role of Phil Davis, originated in the 1954 film by Danny Kaye. I would have also recognized Rick Kramer, playing Doerger's song-and-dance partner, Bob Wallace (played by Bing Crosby in the movie). The LCT panelists cited the "marvelous chemistry" between the two of them. Doerger, who dances as well as he sings and acts, was seen recently in Covedale productions of Singin' in the Rain and Annie Get Your Gun. White Christmas continues through Dec. 23.
Don't go looking for Boris Karloff or any kind of campy make-up if you decide to see the National Theatre of London's production of Frankenstein on Tuesday or Wednesday evening at The Carnegie in Covington. This version, provided via HD digital transmission, is much more faithful to Mary Godwin's creepy and profound Gothic novel written in the summer of 1816. When it was finally published two years later (by which time she had married poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and become Mary Shelley), few people believed it could have been written by a young woman not yet 20 years old.

The '80s are alive and well in Texas. Well, the Texas of AMC's upcoming drama starring Lee Pace, Mackenzie Davis, and Scoot McNairy, "Halt and Catch Fire." The cable network behind such critical and fan favorites like "Breaking Bad," "Mad Men," and "The Walking Dead" released the first poster for its next potential darling today, and the wild colors, early printer style font, and abbreviated "Ctrl" reminiscent of a keyboard all speak to the show's key marketing goal: making the '80s PC battle sexy.
READ MORE: Is AMC's New Drama 'Halt and Catch Fire' the Network's Next 'Mad Men'?
Set during IBM's dominance of the personal computer field, "Halt and Catch Fire" follows an engineer and young tech prodigy who are conned into developing a new PC to rival the market monopoly held by IBM. We liked what we saw at SXSW when they screened the first episode, and AMC obviously has a good deal of faith in the show, indicated by its premiere date on June 1st -- it will take over "Mad Men's" time slot on Sunday nights. Check out the first poster below, and keep checking Indiewire for more updates on the anticipated show.

WTB Celestial Pearl Danios (Southcoast)
I really want 6-8 CPDs for my nano tank. Local stores aren't carrying. I'm in Westport. Anyone in the area selling or seen any available? Thanks.
Have you checked with Skipton's in Boston? They often carry them.
Check with member msjinkzd. She is in PA and travels a lot to speak at local and regional clubs. If you don't want to pay shipping, you might be able to make some kind of pick up option if she will be in your area.
I got CPD's from her last fall and they are awesome !!
Thanks both. I'll have to check Skipton's out, never been.
If not I'll check msjinkzd.
I saw them at Unique Aquaria (Skipton's) several months ago.
Tropic Isle also had them a while back.
Uncle Ned's also carries them. It is best to either look at his website in the forum section or call. All of mine came from there.
klems rt9 in spencer mass has them on a regular basis....
Unigue aquaria (was skiptons) in now in Woburn Ma and is open only on weekends for now. They are setting up and getting in new stuff all the time. Up the street from the Woburn Mall off Washington St.
I havent been there in a while, didnt even know they had anything like that there haha.

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state has awarded the right to take over its state-run liquor stores to 121 individual bidders following an online public auction that concluded Friday.
The state Liquor Control Board announced Monday that bids for the rights to the 167 stores totaled $30.75 million. More than 14,600 bids were offered.
Voters required the state to dismantle its liquor business when they approved Initiative 1183 last fall. The measure allows stores larger than 10,000 square feet to sell liquor.
Successful bidders win the exclusive right to operate a liquor store at that location. Because the state does not own the properties, the bidders still must negotiate a lease, as well as acquire a liquor license and stock their stores.

I'm not a cross racer and probably won't be.
I'm a road rider. But...
In the winter I sometimes run into snow an slush in the shaded areas on my 20-55 mile rides.
I don't like the thought of getting my steel frame sloppy wet because I can't trust myself to thoroughly clean it up right afterwards.
There are a lot of beat up roads and dirt roads in my area to explore.
I have a 6-mile commute on less-than-perfect roads.
I'm not a fan of flat bars.
If I had a cross bike, I might just try a cross race.
My fit is more suited to a longer head tube (not a racer!).
I'm looking at the Salsa Chili Con Crosso. Since I also do a little fixed riding, I find the swappable dropouts appealing.
Does the Salsa offer a roadie-friendly ride and should I consider anything else?

Have You Seen The Weekend?
Thursday, August 22, 2013
I can't seem to find the weekend. I've been looking all day and all I see is half of Thursday and all of Friday! I want my weekend! I'm ready for the weekend. I need the weekend!
I missed blogging again yesterday. And I have a some emails I want to reply to. I also went SO FAR over calories yesterday I don't even want to look at my food diary. And the bad thing? I knew I was going over and still did it! I think it's just the stress of the last few weeks at work and having hubby not up to par (his shoulder still hurts from his surgery in April and now a tooth exaction yesterday). It just all plied up on me. OK..no looking back...I'm going to look forward!
Next week we head to Oregon for a B-Day party for my mom. She'll be 80 in October but we're having a BBQ the 30th for her. Can't really BBQ in Oregon in October! It will SO GREAT to see my family. Kids, grandkids, mom, sister, etc. I have some stuff to clean out from my condo (stuff I just left in the storage room when I moved to Vegas in 2001) and maybe see about dome of the repairs that are needed. It seems there is always something needing fixed. Even after it's been fixed over and over.
I'm not sure I want hubby going over there with me when I do though. He'll just start ragging on me about it, blaming my daughter and her SO. If there's one area he and I do have a small issue..it's when he bad mouths my kids to me in the guise of "humor". He does like my kids..he just thinks they are maybe not as good as his. Even though his were so nasty to him a few yrs ago. More stress!
I'm not even going to mention eating last night. See my one and only comment above about that. I did get my workout in at lunch. 60 mins worth of treadmill while I watched Oblivion (Tom Curse movie...it's good!) on my tablet. I got about half way though it.
Tomorrow I'll be skipping my workout. We have a Team Lunch @ Red Rock buffet. So eating and working out are going to be iffy.
OK....I'm done for today. I'll see you all tomorrow for TGIF!!

Sounds like you're in the same place control-wise as I was when Stef was here. Sometimes I think we can just maintain that better-eating mindset so long before it's bound to blow up again for a little. At least that's my experience. So you have a game plan (for food) while you're gone? I didn't for when Stef was here, and I started drinking Coke again after 18 months. HUGE mistake! Go prepared! Don't do what I did.
I LOVED Oblivion, btw, and I can't even stand Tom Cruise! It was a great movie. Have you read Ender's Game? I am so excited to see the movie. Am rereading the book. If you haven't, download and read it quick. It's a solid scifi!

All Cooking Light recipes have to meet our high standards, but a few each issue are so great they end up as staff favorites.
April: Herbed Passover Rolls
Because Passover dietary laws prohibit leavened products, kosher-for-Passover baked goods are often dense and heavy. We got around that by using the same procedure as cream puffs to yield these light and airy rolls that are kosher for Passover and great for any time you want a deliciously different dinner roll.

Two school districts Thursday announced they'll offer all-day kindergarten for the 2013-14 school year.
The Woodland School District said it will have all-day kindergarten five days a week at Yale and Woodland Primary School beginning this fall.
The Hockinson School District will offer a choice of full-time or part-time kindergarten in the coming school year. The school board unanimously approved the move Wednesday at a meeting. The decision was made though the district doesn't expect to receive designated state funding for full-day kindergarten for several years.
The Legislature intends for all schools to offer all-day kindergarten in four years.

Economic growth is projected to remain robust, at around 7¼ per cent over the projection period. Public investment has picked up with faster clearance of key projects; better infrastructure and greater ease of doing business are promoting private investment; and more generous benefits and wages for public employees are supporting private consumption. Even so, large non-performing loans, high leverage ratios for some companies and difficulty in passing key structural reforms are holding the economy back. The current account deficit is widening as machinery imports increase, but is largely financed by rising foreign direct investment inflows.
Fiscal policy is assumed to remain supportive. Public investment in the energy, transport, sanitation, housing and social protection sectors is critical to raising living standards for all and can be financed through tax reform and reductions in subsidies. The remaining slack in the economy and the disinflation process will provide room for some monetary easing by the end of the projection period. Creating more and better jobs will require further improving the ease of doing business, modernising labour regulations, implementing the goods and services tax and making land transactions easier.
Rapid economic growth, better household access to energy and more manufacturing activity will raise energy consumption, which is now highly subsidised and carbon intensive. Despite recent hikes in coal, petrol and diesel duties, average effective tax rates on CO2 emissions remain relatively low. Phasing out subsidies for kerosene and gas and raising electricity prices would help contain emissions. Such measures risk hurting the poor, however, and so will need to be accompanied by compensating measures.
