"Snake Oil in the 21st Century" is a great and enlightening article by Gregory Tinkler. Years ago a family member of mine went to a "healing" service and was asked to pretend she had come in crippled and was healed.
While I am a Christian and believe in God, there are many ministers whose motives and belief system I question.

It is indeed doubly in your interest to ferret out these "impostors" such as Benny Hinn. [See note, below.] Unlike so many Christian critics of some ministers, you don't overtly question or doubt their faith, membership in the church, or identity as Christians; we think this displays thoughtfully mature honesty on your part.
Of course we share your compassion for those vulnerable ones being swindled, people who, through no fault of their own, live at a pronounced disadvantage. Speaking from personal experience, I know that many times one can function only by trusting that others -- strangers -- will not take advantage of us in our weakness! The past two years have been quite a lesson in this respect.
Where you have an additional interest is in seeing the reputation, the integrity of your group and indeed your ideology being trampled. I will go so far as to say that such religious opportunists actually slander you and others like you who practice their faith in all sincerity! The tricksters practice the same outside ritual as you do, but they practice it strictly for the purpose of banking on the good name that you and yours have worked so hard to secure.
Until recent decades, the faith healer was one of the many ways in which con men took your fellow Christians for their ride. As such, it became a simple matter to warn against any and all who allege to have supernatural powers.
Today, religious Machiavellians no longer need to resort to magic, if you will: political exploiters have emerged as the single most successful school of religious sharpers going. It would be much harder to separate the sincere from the sharks if religious leaders could even get that far. Unfortunately, the task of even raising suspicion against a political ally is daunting, bordering on insurmountable!
Falwell and LaHaye cemented this stumbling block permanently into place with their Moral Majority group of the 1980s: To gain political clout for their group, Falwell and LaHaye allowed non-Evangelicals (Roman Catholics, Mormons) and even non-Christians to join the organization. With this precedent, it became taboo to question the religious integrity of one's allies while engaged in a political struggle. I cannot tell you to what degree this is still the case, but it certainly must be great.
Hopefully I (or someone) will have an opportunity to develop this concept further. This is all I've come up with thus far, however, so take it for what it is. Indeed, the subject of phony faith healers remains much simpler to see, understand, and therefore address.
When I was a Christian the groups I hung with had similar points of view. The groups ranged from those who rejected all modern claims for the supernatural ("God stopped working miracles during the age of the Apostles") to those who for doctrinal reasons reluctantly felt obliged to accept such claims, taking them with more than a mere pinch of salt.
Doctrinal problems abound in using the supernatural as part of one's recruiting efforts, but it is inappropriate for me to discuss them. However, serious logical problems also arise, and these I am very qualified to address.
When you start to use alleged supernatural events as "proof" for the existence of God, you start to get into some embarrassing situations, not the least of which raises its ugly head when the believer is called upon to explain the alleged supernatural phenomenon of rival sects! This is to say nothing of how this thinking can become so misleading!
The best summary of this error (that the performance of seemingly supernatural feats proves supernatural power or access) that I've seen comes from Nicolas Humphrey's book, Leaps of Faith. Still not having fully unpacked from last year's move, I shall paraphrase:
Suppose you were somehow granted supernatural powers and were now capable of performing any feat that's physically possible (e.g., no square triangles, please). Would you demonstrate your powers by pulling rabbits out of a hat?
The irony, then, becomes clear the moment we point out the parlor-magic elements of the many miracle healing services designed to "prove" that God: (1) exists; (2) is at work in this particular service (i.e., endorsing this particular preacher); (3) is proving that this particular sect (i.e., Christianity), has His endorsement. The same can be done with many of those described in the New Testament. In any event, nothing involving a rigorous, as we would take for granted, today, is mentioned in any of the ancient scrolls.
Thanks for writing: It is always a pleasure to discuss seriously with a theist, particularly a Christian, seeing that I have quite a bit of familiarity with that religion. Unfortunately, all too many write solely for the purpose of hurling abuse at us. (They likewise slander you and yours!) I am sorry this is so sketchy and incomplete, but I am experimenting with some new medical procedures and as such can barely keep my eyes open right now. Just as well, I guess, considering that the most common criticism I get regards my long-windedness!

Two Clans One Family
We were founded in December of 2012 by a fellowship who desired a retreat that was a laid back community , but had an internal strength and wisdom pulled from all its members, so we started our first clan Bohemian Grove. In July 2013 we started our second clan Court of Owls to expand our community for new members and to give a home to others we already knew. We may not all be related by blood or bond but call each of us friends and family. The Parliament is a very active, devoted group with representation from all over the world.
Bohemian Grove and Court of Owls Requirements
1. 18+ years old
2. Town Hall 8 or Town Hall 7, base should be upgraded to reflect Town hall level, including walls.
3. Be active in both the clan and our website, it would only be a disservice to you not to experience all sides of the Parliament.

Bennie Moten: Moten Swing
Moten Swing
Bennie Moten and his Kansas City Orchestra
Band Box Shuffle (Hep 1070-2)
Bennie Moten (bandleader), Hot Lips Page (trumpet), Eddie Durham (trombone, guitar), Eddie Barefield (clarinet, alto sax), Ben Webster (tenor sax), Count Basie (piano), Walter Page (bass),
Joe Keys, Dee Stewart (trumpet); Dan Minor (trombone), Jack Washington (alto sax, baritone sax), Leroy Berry (guitar); Willie McWashington (drums).
Composed by Buster Moten and Bennie Moten.
Recorded: Camden, New Jersey, December 13, 1932
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
It is difficult to believe that this recording was made on the cusp of 1933. Basie's later spare style (complete with Page's driving bass) is easily recognized and the recording quality is sensational – crisp, clear, even McWashington's brushes are quite audible. The bridge of the first chorus, cleverly truncated, features spine-tingling, shouting brass played into metal derbies and sounding like they are in the room with the listener. The arrangement cleverly builds with the saxophones first sketching out Walter Donaldson's hit "You're Driving Me Crazy" (the chords of which form the basis here) before essaying the famous riff (with Barefiled's obbligato) known by many as a swing era anthem. A sudden key change introduces Hot Lips Page who solos in a coolish un-Armstrong manner. Finally the full compact ensemble plays the familiar riff melody, bridge and all. Notice Basie doubling his left hand on the studio celeste which, along with Page's beautifully registered bass, brings to a close a record that has it all.

Bennie Moten was the top bandleader in Kansas City and "Moten Swing" was his signature tune. This recording from late 1932 displays a big band swing sound as fully realized as if it had been recorded a decade later. Moten himself does not play on this recording, leaving the piano to a rising star in his band, William "Count" Basie. Basie starts the song with a simple but swinging introduction, and he demonstrates an uncanny sense of musicianship throughout as he provides prominent, though spare, accompaniment that perfectly accents the orchestra and soloists. The rhythm section, led by former Blue Devils bandleader Walter Page on bass, is simply phenomenal, creating a propulsive rhythm that is impossible not to dance to. The soloists are also quite good, including Eddie Barefield on alto sax, Ben Webster on tenor and Oran "Hot Lips" Page on trumpet. Sadly, Moten would die in 1935, just as the big band era was beginning, but the Kansas City jazz sound he helped pioneer would live on through the alumni of this incredible orchestra. - Three Perfect Minutes (http://www.threeperfectminutes.com)

Are bears really the #1 threat to America?
Sorry, Stephen T. Colbert. I think the real threat in the photograph below is the one in the skirt.
Sarah Palin, John McCain's so-called "hockey mom" pick for running mate, makes Hillary Clinton look like an altruistic saint. Nicknamed "The Killa from Wasilla" by environmental groups for her ties to big oil and her philosophy of "cut, kill, dig and drill," she is also an enormous threat to the separation of church and state and the integrity of science. She is a return to the intellectual Dark Age of the farthest right, which is exactly where McCain is steering himself in this campaign. Whatever "maverick" spirit he had left in him is dead. Here are a few things that anyone who calls this country home should be aware of (and unlike Palin's barbs slung at Obama on Wednesday, I am not pulling these out of my ass -- links have been provided so that you can check these out for yourself):
Sarah Palin has stated in a speech to her Pentecostal church that the Iraq War is "a task from God." She stated in the same speech that it is "God's will" to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the wilderness of Alaska.
Sarah Palin believes in stunting the intellectual development of American children by teaching Creationism (the belief that god created the Earth in 6 days, less than 10,000 years ago) in schools. This is a teaching that is completely antithetical to everything we know about the world today. The U.S. is already woefully behind when it comes to preparing students to enter careers in the sciences. This will put an enormous roadblock in the way of rational scientific inquiry.
Sarah Palin does not believe in stem cell research or a woman's right to choose an abortion, even in the case of rape or incest. She backs abstinence-only education, which has been shown to be a completely failed approach to reducing teen pregnancies (it is so hard to refrain from mentioning a certain pregnant teenage member of Palin's family here - it's just the irony...). Palin is also against "explicit sex-ed programs."
Palin attempted to fire the city librarian when she became mayor of Wasilla, because the librarian said she would not remove "objectionable books" from the library if asked to do so by Palin. The reason given for firing the librarian was that she "did not fully support" Palin. Fahrenheit 451, anyone?
Palin is presently under investigation in Alaska for another abuse of power. Just what we need more of after W and Cheney get the boot...
Sarah Palin is a member of the now small fringe of people who deny climate change (aka global warming). Why should she believe thousands of credible scientists and peer-reviewed research studies? She has God personally telling her to build pipelines in the wilderness. Kassie Siegel, of the Centre for Biological Diversity, had this to say about Palin's views: "Even the Bush Administration cannot deny the reality of global warming. The Governor is aligning herself and the state of Alaska with the most discredited, fringe, extreme viewpoints by denying this. She is either grossly misinformed or intentionally misleading, and both are unbecoming. "
Palin supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which would be environmentally disastrous for the area.
Sarah Palin supports aerial shooting of bears and wolves from helicopters, and used $400,000 of state money to fund a media campaign in support of it, EVEN THOUGH ALASKANS VOTED TWICE TO BAN THE PRACTICE. (Shooting bears and wolves from helicopters is inhumane, grievously injuring them more often than it kills them, and subjecting them to needless suffering. They are shot in large numbers and left to die). The reasons given for this practice are to protect caribou herds for human hunters, but it has been proven that wolves and bears make very little impact on caribou numbers, surviving mostly on smaller prey. Yet another example of unsound science. Palin also tried to get the state to give a $150 bounty to hunters for each wolf killed.
Hell, I would rather have a grizzly bear in office than Sarah Palin a breath away from it. The grizzly would probably demonstrate a much better aptitude for rational thinking and common sense. And Palin would make for a better rug.

In the last couple of seasons, "The Game" has been jam-packed with stereotypes, the most ridiculous stunts ever (ex. Peanut moving into a new place with his guns labeled on the top of the box) and way too much drama about baby mommas. But the seventh season is probably the funniest and least predictable since the show transitioned to BET from CW.
The entire cheating scenario between Tasha Mack, Peanut and Rick Foxx last season was worth muting the television. She was louder and even more ghetto than usual. But every time Tasha is in a scene with Chardonnay, it's difficult not to enjoy their wacky friendship.
And the other couples have been fun to watch.
Bryce "Blue" Westbrook and Keira Whitaker are a refreshing addition to the cast, even if there is still a special place in fans' hearts for Melanie "Med School" Barnett and Derwin Davis (before the endless drama with Janay). Please, no kids for Blue and Keira.
It's always a pleasure to see Kelly Pitts again even if Chardonnay and Jason Pitts are the most adorable, polar opposite couple on TV.
Season 7 has more versatility in the dialogue, the cast and the story lines. And the jokes have gotten better and better. It's unclear where the changes came from, but the show is worth smiling about all over again and proves why a petition brought the show back to life.
Click the gallery above to check out the top 12 funniest lines and most memorable scenes from this season of BET's "The Game." What's even better is there are still a few episodes left. Expect the funny to continue.

The Canterbury Tales: The Reeve's Tale
by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales: The Reeve's Tale Society and Class Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used the line numbering found on Librarius's online edition.
Quote #1
A wyf he hadde, ycomen of noble kyn;
The person of the toun hir fader was.
With hire he yaf ful many a panne of bras,
For that Symkyn sholde in his blood allye.
(88 – 91)
The description of Symkyn's wife's "nobility" is actually somewhat mocking: as the illegitimate daughter of the town parson, she would not necessarily have been upper-class, a fact hinted at by the dowry of brass pans her father gives her in lieu of silver, jewelry, or sumptuary goods.
Quote #2
She was yfostred in a nonnerye;
For Symkyn wolde no wyf, as he sayde,
But she were wel ynorissed and a mayde,
To saven his estaat of yomanrye.
(92 – 95)
The irony of this passage is that although Symkyn's wife was raised in a convent as were the daughters of many noblemen, the location of her upbringing is due more to her status as the illegitimate daughter of a priest, who was not supposed to have sex, let alone children, than to any sort of nobility.
Quote #3
A ful fair sighte was it upon hem two;
On halydayes biforn hire wolde go
With his typet wound aboute his heed,
And she cam after in a gyte of reed;
And Symkyn hadde hosen of the same.
Ther dorste no wight clepen hire but 'dame.'
(97 – 103)
Symkyn and his wife appear to enjoy parading their financial success around town in the form of expensive clothing. His wife requires everyone to call her "dame," or lady, despite the fact that she is not really noble-born. Symkyn's family is trying to be upwardly mobile in society, a feat that's no doubt helped by the extra profits Symkyn makes by cheating his customers.

Tintern Abbey: early reviews
Source: Woof, Robert. William Wordsworth: The Critical Heritage. Florence, KY: Routledge, 2001.
Dr Charles Burney (1726 -1814). Unsigned review, Monthly Review, June 1799, xxix. 202-10.
Lines written near Tintern Abbey. -- The reflections of no common mind; poetical, beautiful, and philosophical: but somewhat tinctured with gloomy, narrow, and unsociable ideas of seclusion from the commerce of the world: as if men were born to live in woods and wilds, unconnected with each other! Is it not to education and the culture of the mind that we owe the raptures which the author so well describes, as arising from the view of beautiful scenery, and sublime objects of nature enjoyed in tranquillity, when contrasted with the artificial machinery and 'busy hum of men' in a city? The savage sees none of the beauties which this author describes. The convenience of food and shelter, which vegetation affords him, is all his concern; he thinks not of its picturesque beauties, the course of rivers, the height of mountains, &c. He has no dizzy raptures in youth; nor does he listen in maturer age 'to the still sad music of humanity.'
So much genius and originality are discovered in this publication, that we wish to see another from the same hand, written on more elevated subjects and in a more cheerful disposition.
Joseph Farington (1747 -1821). From his diary, 1806.
Sir George read part of a Poem by Him called 'Tintern abbey', which He thinks exquisite, & has read it 100 times. -- He also read 'the Beggar' ['The Old Cumberland Beggar'] -- Those were published with others by him & Coleridge by Longman the Bookseller in 1800 [1798]. -- Sir George said he was infinitely indebted to Wordsworth for the good He had recd. from His poetry which had benefitted Him more, had more purified his mind than any Sermons had done. -- Coleridge has more learning, -- more reading, than Wordsworth, but Sir George thinks Him not equal in poetical power.
James Montgomery (1771-1854). Montgomery's unsigned review in the Eclectic, January 1808, IV, 35-43.
Mr. Wordsworth is himself a living example of the power which a man of genius possesses, of awakening unknown and ineffable sensations in the hearts of his fellow-creatures. His Cumberland Beggar, Tintern Abbey, his Verses on the naming of Places, and some other pieces in his former volumes, have taught us new sympathies, the existence of which in our nature had scarcely been intimated to us by any preceding poet. But Mr. Wordsworth must be reminded, that in these, his most successful pieces, he has attired his thoughts in diction of transcendent beauty.
Thomas Noon Talfourd (1795-1854). Essay signed T. N. T., continuation of 'On the Genius and Writings of Wordsworth', New Monthly Magazine, 1 December 1820, XIV, 648-55.
A few lines, however, from the poem composed on the Banks of the Wye, will give our readers a deep glimpse into the inmost heart of his poetry, and of his poetical system, on the communion of the soul of man with the spirit of the universe. In this rapturous effusion - in which, with a wise prodigality, he hints and intimates the profoundest of those feelings which vivify all he has created -- he gives the following view of the progress of his sympathy with the external world:--
-- Nature then
(The coarser pleasures of my boyish days . . .
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.] [73-103]
John Keats (1795-1821). From a letter to Reynolds, 3 May 1818.
We are now in that state -- We feel the 'burden of the Mystery,' To this point was Wordsworth come, as far as I can conceive when he wrote 'Tintern Abbey' and it seems to me that his Genius is explorative of those dark Passages. Now if we live, and go on thinking, we too shall explore them. he is a Genius and superior [to] us, in so far as he can, more than we, make discoveries, and shed a light in them --

Doug Zembiec, U.S. Naval Academy wrestler and Marine war hero known as "the Lion of Fallujah", worked for the Central Intelligence Agency at the time of his 2007 death in Iraq, the "Washington Post" reported Tuesday, July 15.
The Post's Thomas Gibbons-Neff reported that Marine Major Zembiec was serving with the CIA's paramilitary arm as a member of the Special Activities Division's Ground Branch when he was shot in the head in Sadr City in Baghdad, Iraq on May 11, 2007. While the CIA would not comment on whether Zembiec worked for the agency, former U.S. intelligence officials disclosed this information to Gibbons-Neff in interviews.
Family members and ex-CIA officials told Gibbons-Neff that Zembiec was working with a small team of Iraqis on a "snatch and grab" operation targeting insurgents for capture. Just moments after warning his men that an ambush was imminent, the 34-year-old Zembiec was shot in the head by an enemy insurgent. He died instantly.
At the time of his death, Zembiec's heroics were openly acknowledged and applauded by top military commanders, including Gen. David H. Petraeus. The former Navy wrestler was posthumously honored with a Silver Star for being credited with saving 25 men that night. In addition, the military dedicated a helicopter landing zone to him at Camp Victory at Baghdad International Airport in 2008.
Those honors for Zembiec were in addition to earning two Purple Heart medals for his service during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was also awarded a Bronze Star for Valor during the 2004 battle of Fallujah, along with the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal.
The "Washington Post" article explained how Zembiec decided to apply for a coveted slot in the Ground Branch of the CIA's Special Activities Division in 2005. Although the CIA accepts only one Marine Special Operations officer every few years, Zembiec's parents said that they thought the move was so he could continue to serve in a combat role and avoid a staff position, which is the career path of most Marines of Zembiec's rank. As his mother Jo Ann Zembiec told Gibbons-Neff, "He wanted to be at the tip of the spear."
Weeks after his death and his burial in Arlington National Cemetery, Doug Zembiec's family – including his widow Pam – attended a private ceremony in then-CIA Director Michael V. Hayden's office at the organization's headquarters outside Washington, D.C. "Hayden quietly thanked them for Zembiec's service," according to the "Washington Post."
Born in Hawaii in 1973, Douglas Alexander Zembiec grew up in Albuquerque. He attended La Cueva High School, where he won back-to-back New Mexico state wrestling championships in 1990 and 1991, the first athlete from the school to win a state title in any sport. According to the school's website, Zembiec's high school wrestling coach, Ron Owen, told the "Albuquerque Journal", "Whatever you asked of him he was going to do it, and then he was going to do a little more. He had a super work ethic and led by example. He was one tough kid."
After graduating from La Cueva in 1991, Zembiec headed east to the U.S. Naval Academy, where he continued his wrestling career. Zembiec earned All-American honors for Navy when he placed eighth in the 177-pound bracket at the 1995 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Iowa City. (Oregon State's Les Gutches won the 177 title that year.) In addition, Zembiec was a three-time Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association championships finalist, winning two EIWA titles in 1994 and 1995 after being runner-up in 1993.
While at Annapolis, Zembiec compiled a 95-21-1 overall record. Long before he became "the Lion of Fallujah", Zembiec was nicknamed "the Snake" by his Navy wrestling coach Reginald Wicks. "Doug was very strong on his feet in a neutral position and he would circle around and strike at an opponent ankles," the former Navy coach told NCAA.org. "Once he got in, he kept sucking them in until he got the two points. He was really quick at it."
In addition to his military honors, Zembiec earned the NCAA's Award of Valor in 2008. What's more, La Cueva High School renamed its wrestling room to honor Doug Zembiec, and inducted him into the La Cueva Hall of Fame.

OKCfest Sunday music included a Jazz tent, which featured tables, fans and the option of restaurant catered meals. Funny to think, this same area in winter is the ice skating rink. The Jazz tent schedule was : DEEP DEUCE CELEBRATION CHOIR 11:30 AM. CARL MOORE & THE POCKET DOCTORS 1:00 PM, WALTER TAYLOR III / TAYLOR MADE JAZZ 2:00 PM.
All ages attended the two separate sites at the Myriad Gardens, Jazz in the tent, and Latin music on the Great Lawn on Sunday.
Earlier points of performance in the festival looked like this, snagged from #OKCfest2014 Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/OKCFest2014/photos/a.1514865312066125.107374182...
This event was sponsored by The Oklahoman, and El Nacional, BlacInc and the Black Chronicle. A number of other sponsors listed. UBER was very visible just behind the stage, and ICEBOX had a number of vending cube trailers across the park.
The listing of sponsors for SUNDAY as a day was not noted on the homepage for #OKCfest, and other places that might cite information, like the OKC Hispanic Chamber, or El Nacional also did not. http://okcfest.com/lineup.php And many notices for Hispanic featured radio or news. appeared throughout the park for
Other groups, had booths across the perimeter of the Great Lawn, announcing things like the Santiago family chain of McDonald's restaurants.
Noted also were things like the Girl Scouts, and various health providers, like the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic.
Some people brought full picnics and set up on the hills behind the Great Lawn, or in the wooded space between the Jazz tent and the Great Lawn, others came after they had been out to eat elsewhere, and still others dined at the available food sources.
People moved freely about the park, and often children would come forward soaking wet, either from the water chanel near the Great Lawn, or from the spray park over by the Children's Playground, and tease a relative by laying a wet hand or foot on them. Tag, lawn rolling, chase and hide and seek along with dance lessons and napping were common with the 10 and under crowd. A nominal number of teens were present, but they moved in the standard groups often dressed in minor variations of the same thing.
Live music is a community enriching and encouraging event, and events like this continue to expand Oklahoma City into a bigger, better place.

No longer will restaurant patrons in Pasadena wonder exactly how close to a "B" grade that "A" restaurant got. The Public Health Department rolled out a new grading system on July 1, 2014, that scores restaurants, markets, bakeries, bars, school cafeterias, commissaries and retail food processing facilities on a 100-point scale.
The "A-B-C" placards are being replaced with placards that display Pass, Conditional Pass or Closed and a number indicating the score received at the time of inspection. Food facilities are required to publicly display the placards, which include a QR code that can be scanned with a smart phone app for additional information on the food facility.
An online database displays the status and score as well. Type in the name of the facility or the street and city, and a page will come up with the score for facilities inspected since Jan. 1, 2014. Clicking on the name of the facility opens a page with a detailed breakdown, including the severity of each violation, and inspection date.
Facilities that have not yet been inspected under the new system do not have scores in the database, but there is supposed to be a link to previous inspections if it recognizes the name. We found that the database did not recognize some of the names typed in. Searchers should also be aware that places that have a Pasadena address may not actually be in the city limits and are subject to the Los Angeles County Department of Health ratings.
Here's how the rating system breaks down:
- "Pass" rating is received for a score of 85 to 100.
- "Conditional Pass" with a score of 75 to 84 indicates minimal code compliance and that a follow-up inspection will be done.
- "Conditional Pass" with a score of 74 or less means minimal compliance was achieved, but violations were found that mandate a Permit Suspension Hearing and a follow-up inspection.

Online Dating Techniques & More
Yes, it's that time once again: The day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers.
This week's Q&A focuses on being an effective online dater, putting an end to Wussy behavior, and telling a woman your true feelings. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
I want to meet women online, but how can I stand out from the millions of others guys on the dating site?The internet is SUCH a great place to apply and practice what you're learning.
I can't tell you how much I've learned by chatting with women on instant messaging services.
In fact, if it wasn't for the internet and being able to practice in this way, it would have taken me a LOT longer to figure out a lot of the things that I now use and teach.
And, of all the places to REALLY STAND OUT... when you respond to a woman's personal ad with a great Cocky & Funny note, it's like a breath of fresh air.
Or when you IM a woman and say, "It says here that you're an actress. What, you couldn't get a real job?"...
It sets you apart INSTANTLY from all the loser guys who are saying, "Hi, you're really pretty. Can I take you out on a date?"
Try it for yourself…
How can a guy keep from regressing back to his old Wussy behavior after initial success?THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION!
The way to not "regress into Wuss behavior after initial success" is...
1- Have a life.
Stay busy. Spend time on your own. Do things with friends that don't involve the woman you're dating.
Too many guys will meet a woman, then basically say in one way or another to her: "You are my everything now, and I will do whatever I have to do to please you and spend time with you."
Big mistake.
If you stay busy, and keep your own life going, it will make you MORE attractive.
You've probably heard me say "Give her the gift of missing you," and this is one good way to do it.
It also keeps your head on straight, and makes you remember that you have a life, and you can enjoy yourself any time you want without her.
2- Don't get mushy too often.
Use romance as a spice, not a main dish. Don't buy her things all the time (if at all).
Don't say too many "mushy" things, either.
The key here is to only show your "sensitive" side once in a while, and to NEVER let that side of you take over and prevent you from acting like a man. Women aren't ATTRACTED to Wussy behavior... so don't do it.
3- YOU be the one to end the interactions with her.
End phone calls, dates, etc. with her on a high note, and always end them a little too soon.
Most guys act clingy and keep holding on to a woman when talking, on a date, etc.
Let's say you're talking to her on the phone for a few minutes and you're having a GREAT conversation.
End it.
Say: "Great, I'm going to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
Leave her always wanting more.
This is one way that you can continually demonstrate to yourself that you can stay in control of yourself...
If you DO start acting like a Wuss, STOP IMMEDIATELY.
Old proverb: No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, TURN BACK.
But turn back before it's too late, because once a woman has you in the Mental Wussy Slot, it's hard to get out — and even worse, it's REALLY hard to get a woman who once felt ATTRACTION for you to feel it again after you've had a Wussy Spaz Attack.
Can you ever tell her you like her?
Have a question? Get it answered by AskMen's guyQ.

WARNING: This article may contain comments perceived as "spoilers" for those who have not yet seen the finale which aired on ABC, Sunday, May 23, 2010.
In the day after the series' finale of Lost, theories continue to abound as they did during its six years on ABC. Special websites and blogs continue to buzz about what exactly "this" or "that" meant on a show that will forever be remembered as enigmatic at least, philosophically provocative at best.
The series showcased a host of diverse actors from various countries, ethnicities and ages, each ultimately contributing to the creation or compromise of the civilizations they were building, had built or would build, depending on the season and sequence of years highlighted at that particular moment of watching. People craving a linear sense of time would prove not to be "Losties."
John Locke, one of the more serious and profoundly mysterious characters of Lost, first appears lying on the ground after the plane crash, wiggling his toes. Viewers do not learn until several episodes later that Locke began his fateful trip in a wheelchair, having been rejected for a "walk about" in the Australian outback. It takes several seasons to learn how Locke became disabled, and there are moments when it appears he may not walk again due to some of the circumstances that befall him as he overcomes fear and becomes the hunter extraordinaire of the series.
As with most "realities" on Lost, Locke's disability plays a mostly symbolic role. The plot line reveals that he survives being pushed from a high rise apartment building by his father, but with a crushed spine. The back story shows an angry and isolated Locke trying to overcome fears and differences that long preceded his accident and subsequent disability. The wheelchair serves as the barrier onto which Locke can project all the ways he is separated from those around him. When the plane crashes and he can walk, he tells no one of his former life. Like all the others eventually, Locke reinvents himself, being taken over finally by the "Man in Black" who must destroy or be destroyed.
For faithful viewers, the journey is a long and twisting one, full of flashbacks, flash forwards, and "flash sideways," a unique parallel look at the lives of the characters without the island influence which simultaneously enlightened and confounded.
Dr. Jack Shephard, Mr. Fix-It Man and Hero, is certain he can repair Locke's crushed spine in one of the "sideways" views of these characters. In a scene reminiscent of the pilot episode, Locke wiggles his toes, declaring that he has feeling. During the final scenes of the Sunday, May 23 finale, Benjamin Linus tells John Locke he no longer will need that wheelchair, and, for the second time in the series, Locke walks. The scene recalls the old black and white films of the 40s where the lame walk and the blind see after a dip in the waters of Lourdes.
The creators of the series lingered frequently on the edges of stereotyping behaviors for a number of the characters. They played with cultural assumptions and fears, with the blurriness between values held dear and evils abhorred. So, viewers have to accept that the use of dated tropes about disabilities most likely seemed no less dangerous to Lost's writers and producers than any of the other lines crossed and criss-crossed over the course of six seasons. However, for a series that tested the limits of imagination, patience and viewers' tolerance of ambiguity, resorting to the tired (and now disparaged) symbol of a wheelchair as defeat seems lazy and uninspired.
Disability as punishment has roots in mythology and medieval religious dogma. Locke gets "punished" by his father, the man to whom he gave a kidney. "No good deed goes unpunished" is a mantra known well by those reared in Catholic schools during post WWII. Locke believes he is punished, however, for having been naïve and weak, craving love and connection, states of mind and soul that the wheelchair represent for him as he bends beneath the authority of a mid-level supervisor at the box company he works for, just as he bent to his father's false affections.
Later, in the jungle as he tutors Boone, the two discover "The Hatch" and plot how to open it. Locke experiences paralysis again as he orders Boone to climb aboard the small crashed plane holding the stash of heroin that intertwines with the story line of another character, Charlie. Locke cannot move in order to save Boone once the piper cub tumbles off the cliff and into the brush. Instead of using the opportunity to reveal his past to the newly forming society of survivors and friends, Locke retreats even further into himself and the jungle, using the distance to reinforce his belief that his differences are too great to leverage and use effectively with others.
In Season Six during the "sideways" glances at the lives of these characters who have no memory of their time on the island, Locke holds his own for a while against Jack Shephard's advances to "cure" him. "This is who I am," he explains. However, in the finale, Locke agrees to the surgery, perhaps, one wonders, more in deference to Jack who simply must "save" him. Once again, the wheelchair symbolizes the need for Locke to "let go, "to leave," as is ultimately defined by the final scene inside a church no less.
The treatment of Locke's disability as a symbol of his many flaws is one of the ways Lost unabashedly used traditional and stereotypical viewpoints as a means to create the arc of the story and this character. There was nothing especially socially enlightening about the choice to portray a character with disabilities in the series, in spite of the otherwise successful and artful writing using diversity to demonstrate the complexities of building a society with a seemingly disparate band of individuals and cultures.
On the other hand, the creators did do some work on choosing the type of wheelchair used, which seemed to be an appropriate choice for someone who was to have been permanently in the chair for a period of four years or more, complete with a raised and contoured seat cushion to prevent pressure sores. The chair was built for self-propulsion, allowing for easy-to-reach access to the wheels, slightly flared for speed and maneuverability. Similarly, the writing reflected well the discomfort and loneliness many people with disabilities experience in public as Locke sits on the plane (during one of the flashes), waiting for attendants to help him deplane. The contrast of Locke, the hunter chasing and catching wild boar, and Locke, passively waiting to be lifted out of his seat, conjures pity. It works, but disappoints.
So, while Lost is a winner in many ways, and will be remembered for its unusual and smart choices, this reliance on arcane and exploited views of disabilities leave the series exposed to a type of criticism that is not nearly as fun as the other musings of Losties that have fed the fascination and phenomenon for six years.

|Check-in before
Cosy and nice appartment near the town. Clean and well worked appartment. When we arrived we didn't know if we were on the right address but a very nice lady came out and met us and showed us in. The lady was supernice and she was very friendly.
Thank you for this time, we hope to see you again!
We had a very nice stay in Supetar! The apartment was only 100m from the promenade, the apartment was clean and we had a beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the town and sea.
Ivo and his mother where very kind, she even surprised us with a homemade apfelstrudel!
We can recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Supetar!
Clean and a good restaurant!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.
It was a fantanstic stay in the apartment in Le Ginestre.
The beach is very nice and in the town are a few supermarkets.
Unfortunately was the wifi (we had to pay for that) not so well, in our apartment we had no signal.
The floor was dusty. Apartment is on the 5th floor without lift (no information on description) Be carefull for additional costs (bed linen, towels, taxes) Cleaning charged per person !!!! Wifi very expensive (24 Euro per week for 1GB) You must pickup and drop key 1,2 miles from apartment. Excellent furnitures on desciption - just typical table with chairs and sofa (nothing special) You must defrozen refrigerator but you cannot turn off. Huge PLUS - location !!!
This was an overall appalling experience and thus has led our family to never rent from Wimdu ever again moving forward. As the photos advertised a lovely apartment (not cheap, I might add - about $300 per night), we realized upon arrival and after reading the fine print that the photos on the post were simply an "example" of an apartment that you MIGHT be placed in. After taking an expensive cab ride to pick up the key and digging through pages of contracts to find the code to unlock the door and the safebox, we then had to take another expensive cab to the other side of the city where the apartment was located. The location was fine but we had to drag our heavy bags up three flights of stairs, because the apartment did not have a lift. When we arrived, the apartment was tiny and nothing like the photos online. The worst part was then at checkout, we were expected to return the key to the safebox again on the other side of town. These people BRIDGESTREET ARE COMPLETE FRAUDS! Do not rent from them. Ever.
Apartment is exactly as described.2 rooms ,clean,suitable for a family with upto two kids with a small kitchen.Its 30 mins by bus from the apartment to the altsatdt but the bus stop is only 20m away from the apartment.Could have been better if wifi was also provided.the host was really good, also giving us some suggestions on places to visit for kids.
Will definetly recommend to others.
What really made this house great was the outside area; great swimming pool and enough space around with nice seats. Also de patio was a great spot for dinner and lunch.
The interior was not great; no airco of fan (so HOT), bad kitchen equipment (old or simply missed) and not quite clean.
Staff of Interhome gave us good support.

Very ConvenientI have been looking for dry shampoo for a while and this product seemed very good. The ingredients are healthy and the fragrance is beautiful. I really like when products smell great, and this one does. I think that's what people want from a dry shampoo. I don't have oily hair, so I can't tell you if it makes hair look clean, but it does make it smell perfumed. I haven't used it for very long, but I love how it could save me time in the morning if I don't have time to wash and style my hair. And I won't need perfume that day.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights advocate free compulsory education, especially at the primary level. Certainly, the need for the elimination of illiteracy, which is an encumbrance to the socio-economic development of a nation, culminated in the right to education. But, with the current spate of hike in tuition fees and students' protests bedeviling Nigerian public universities, do university managements act in accordance with the four A's attached to the right to education--Availability, Accessibility, Affordability and Adaptability? Does the Nigerian Government act in compliance with UNESCO's benchmark for education in budgetary allocations? No! Certainly not.
Day in day out, reports of students' remonstrances and schools' closures are aired on television and radio stations. Also, pictures of students carrying placards and chanting 'Aluta' songs inundate our newspapers and the social media. These students' protests are staged over inadequate learning, insalubrious living conditions and the soaring tuition fees. The last, in fact, appears to be the chief reason for students' remonstrance nowadays. It is indisputable yet lugubrious that Nigeria's education system has gone to the dogs since the current administration took over. Federal polytechnics across the country have been plunged into academic quiescence since last year, and the two parties--the Federal Government and ASUP--have been unable to reach an accord. Nigerian public universities, on the other hand, have adopted a rather iniquitous practice of increasing tuition fees exorbitantly, to sate their rapacious desires. The recent shut-down of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife, over the increment of tuition fees and the many protests that were staged by the students of the Lagos State University over the same issue of a hike in tuition fee epitomize the cupidity of university managements and the government's insouciance to the education sector.
In addition, students of the University of Lagos and Tai Solarin University of Education, a good few weeks ago, remonstrated about arbitrary hike in fees. However, this plague does not seem restricted to universities in the west, for it has also caught on public universities in the south. For instance, the University of Calabar, in rolling out the welcome mat to its freshers, mandated them to pay N10, 000 as acceptance fee before commencing school registration. This stands in total contrast to the N2,500, which, before now, was paid as acceptance fee and which was included in the school fee, and not paid severally. When questioned on the reason for the fee hike, these universities' managements invariably reply that the increment of fee is the only option for the universities to survive. Then, I ask: what about the Federal Government's allocation to universities every year? It would be recalled that Nigerian public universities, under the aegis of ASUU, went on a six-month strike because of the Government's low funding of tertiary education. The long-drawn-out strike was eventually cancelled when the government caved in to their demands. So, whatever happens to the yearly allocation?
Evidently, Nigerian universities' authorities have been bitten by the bug of avarice and rapacity, and Nigerian parents and students are suffering the consequence of the bite. One would think that the supervising Minister of Education would find a panacea to the epidemic of fee hike, but, alack and alas, the barrister-cum-Education Minister is much more concerned about his political ambition in his state than about the plight of the education section.
Hence, isn't our ailing education system an omen of a failed future for Nigeria? Doesn't this portend doom for Nigeria? How does the bowler-hatted man, who is striving to win Nigerians' votes in the 2015 general election, intend to achieve a better Nigeria when our higher institutions are in a shambles? Nigerian universities which were once citadels of excellence have now been transmogrified into cesspits of corruption and extortion, with their glory being overwhelmed by their private counterparts. Nigerian students are now the hapless victims of academic extortionists because of the

Live Scoring | Singles Consolation Bracket
TULSA, Okla. --- East Carolina University senior Joran Vliegen rallied from one set down to defeat second-seeded Peter Kobelt of Ohio State(4-6, 6-4, 6-4) in the consolation round of the ITA All-American Championships Friday afternoon. It was the third time in the tournament that he rallied to win the final two sets after dropping the first.
Vliegen will face 32nd-ranked Stephane Piro of Florida in the quarterfinal round Saturday. The winner advances to Saturday's semifinal round. The championship match will be played Sunday.
Number 87 in the 2013 ITA Preseason Singles Rankings, Vliegen has faced four players ranked ahead of him and recorded three victories in those matches. His latest triumph over Kobelt, who was ranked third in the preseason, gave Vliegen his first career win over a top 3 player.
In doubles action Friday, Vliegen and sophomore partner Colin Roller were eliminated from the main draw by UCLA's tandem of Marcos Giron and Mackenzie MacDonald, 8-4. It was the duo's first loss in five matches this fall.

Details of Paula Poundstone and the Ticket Luck value
One of today's most experienced stand-up comedians , Paula Poundstone is coming soon to your city with some fresh and innovative offerings. This fifty three year old comedian has been putting a smile at everybody's faces since the 70s. Many young talents look up to her decade long career as a great source of inspiration. Don't forget to attend her upcoming show. Make sure to reserve your Paula Poundstone tickets today.
Paula began to do live comedy at open mic nights in the late 70s in Boston. By the 80s, the young talent was seen performing improvisational sets at The Other Café comedy club in San Francisco. In the meantime, Paula Poundstone also appeared in a Hollywood film, Hyperspace. She could've pursued a career in acting but refused to do so and by the late 80s, Paula was holding the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Stand-Up Comic." Right after receiving this precious accolade, Paula featured in an HBO special, Cats, Cops and Stuff for which she was honored with a CableACE Award. She is the first female to win the honor for best "Standup Comedy Special."
Since the 90s, Paula Poundstone has maintained a solid position in the media industry and is respected and regarded for her decades of service to the comedy community. The artist specializes in observational and improvisational comedy which always ends up giving the audience fits of laughter. The topics that she mostly touches in her live acts consist of motherhood and everyday routines, which most of the attendees can easily relate with their lives and enjoy.
After her success at the HBO special, Paula Poundstone worked on a number of prominent projects. She was associated with The Tonight Show as a political correspondent and did some field pieces for The Rosie O'Donnell Show for which she again won a CableACE Award. In the late 90s, Paula was also seen on a regular basis in many television shows such as the Hollywood Squares, To Tell the Truth and Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me! for which she has won a Peabody Award as well. Poundstone has also received a lot of acclaim for her voice acting in the popular cartoon series, Science Court and Home Movies.

The Rack Bag ($158) from Po Campo is not only stylish, it's super functional and durable as well. Store your magazines, wallet and a makeup bag while you're tooling around town or commuting to work. It comes in some amazing textiles and you can easily convert it to a purse to take with you when you lock up your ride. We also love their Handlebar Bag, and we're not the only ones because every color is sold out except for yellow. Fortunately, they still have the Rack Bags in stock, but you should hurry if you want a certain print.

The Chip-Zel-Pop Pail Gift Tin ($41) from funkychunky may have a strange name, but the contents are plenty familiar! The salty-sweet snack packs potato chips, pretzels, and popcorn drizzled with caramel and three types of chocolate (dark, milk, and white) into one ginormous tin. We die! First from love and then again from an overdose of fat and calories! Clearly, this is an indulgent treat that's meant to be shared. We'll try our best not to hoard it all!

At times, the best ideas come when comparing men and women. My latest faze is mostly crazed around women wearing men's clothing, sharp yet effortless, and men living up to the expectations women are imagined to naturally adapt. The great battle of the skivvies continues with the war against grandma panties. This doesn't exactly relate to the over the belly button, panty-line baring, flesh toned bottoms that we find in the intimates section of the JCPENNEY's catalogue.
One thing my mom said to me on the way to the hospital when I was fifteen with a fever was "You better have on nice underwear". Hilarious, I know. Especially since I think the pair I was wearing said something like "Go! Go! Go!" across my bottom. But she was right. You never know who'll get to see you in your intimates, so my question is why wouldn't men have the same concerns?
I dated someone who insisted on referring to all my underwear as grandma panties just because they didn't go up my ass or were stringy and transparent. Ignoring such an ignorant bastard, I comfortably concluded that there was nothing wrong with boy shorts or lacy low-rise bikini cut panties. If there's one thing women know more about than men, its underwear. We get measured and sized from top to bottom, are detail oriented and definitely dress to draw out a reaction.
That ignorant bastard I mentioned before fell under that category of men who still let there mom buy their socks and underpants. They were (and probably still are) saggy, raggedy, and above all unattractive. My biggest surprise was finding him in black silk boxers with cartoon lip prints. Guys across the globe, this is completely unacceptable. All hope is not yet lost. There are a few things that you should think of, and the number one reason should be the obvious. You never know who'll be seeing your funderwear (like underwear but more fun).
Here are the basics. Girls dig boxer briefs that hug you in all the right places, briefs that are anything but white, and boxers we can share. Watch your luck change once you decide to buy your own underuse. Pay attention to what covers the goods as much as what covers the rest of you. Simpley as that, you get your way closer to a womans ... heart.

Baked Apple Dumplings RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 8 9
These versatile dumplings can be made with peaches or mixed berries in place of apples, and drizzled with hot caramel sauce instead of icing. Add vanilla custard or ice cream, and it's the perfect dessert.—Evangeline Bradford, Erlanger, Kentucky
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 4-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Dash ground nutmeg
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2-1/4 cups chopped peeled tart apples
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, bread crumbs, cinnamon and nutmeg. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into two 12-in. squares. Cut each sheet into nine 4-in. squares.
- Brush squares with egg. Place 1 teaspoon sugar mixture in the center of a square; top with 2 tablespoons chopped apple and 1 teaspoon sugar mixture. Gently bring up corners of pastry to center; pinch edges to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry, crumb mixture and apples. Place on greased baking sheets.
- In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients. Brush remaining egg over dumplings; press streusel over tops.

"Delish!!! This is a great recipe. Thanks reader7 and Travlnman02 for the warning to chop the apples into smaller pieces. This recipe is not too sweet, which was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't try the icing but served it with whipped cream. A keeper..."

Industry Night at Paradise Playhouse in Excelsior Springs, Mo. allowed the troupe of talented actors to perform for their peers on Thursday, June 5 with a different format for the evening, an hour concert prior to the performance.
Paradise Playhouse in Excelsior Springs began making changes with its last production, "Unnecessary Farce," and continues making bigger changes as it opens its doors to new talent as it steps more boldly into the Kansas City theater scene with the latest production, "Who's Under Where?" marking the directorial debut of new Artistic Director, Andy Tyhurst.
Tyhurst announced, on June 2, that the second ever Industry Night for the Paradise Playhouse, on June 5 not only features an hour pre-show concert by Rudy C. Amato, a noted area performer, but also a change from the full dinner/theater combination traditionally associated with the Paradise Playhouse.
"So not only will there be a show, I am also having a northland legend Rudy C. Amato perform an hour long set before we start "Who's Under Where?" Tyhurst said. ''Rudy performs all over the country and sings mostly Rat Pack era and classic rock songs. He is a funny guy, great performer who has comedic elements in his act as well. So it's going to be both live music and live theatre in one night."
The idea of industry night marks a new chapter at Paradise Playhouse. Tyhurst noted that theater alone can get expensive for a family. Although Paradise's normal dinner-included tickets are reasonably priced, Tyhurst wanted to offer an even cheaper alternative for locals and further encourage the Kansas City theater crowd to consider Paradise Playhouse as one of their options.
The other purpose (and why it is called industry night) is to invite other starving artists, theatre groups, casts from other shows and provide them with a fun night where they can watch other artists perform. Tyhurst said he wants talent from all over the Kansas City Metro area to see a show at Paradise Playhouse in hopes they will consider bringing their talents to the Paradise stage in the future.
"We have a great venue here and we need to show it off. We can and will attract talented actors and directors as we move forward. That's out plan," Tyhurst said.
With "Who's Under Where?" all actors make their stage debut at Paradise Playhouse. After the theater's first open auditions, the actors earned their parts and are having a blast working here, Tyhurst said. But he said, it was not planned that way, it just happened that way, and the remaining two plays of the season will feature more alumni, with three of the four characters in the next show "Weekend Comedy" all having performed at the Paradise Playhouse previously.
"I think our customers have thoroughly enjoyed seeing new people on our stage, but, at the same time, they miss some familiar faces. We will strive to achieve a nice blend of new and familiar actors as we continue moving forward."
For the current play "Who's Under Where," actors have come from places far and near to work at the Paradise Playhouse, Tyhurst said. Matt Wright (Bruno) & Jeremy Edwards (Sebastian) reside in St. Joseph, Mo. Ann Lauderdale (Sybil) is from Tulsa, Okla., but recently moved to Blue Springs, Mo. The rest oft of the cast reside in nearby Excelsior Springs or Liberty, Mo.
"I think there is a misconception that Excelsior Springs is way out in the boonies, but it really isn't. You can get here from downtown in about 30 minutes. You can get here in 45 minutes from Johnson County, Kan. It's mostly highway with a few twists and turns near the end. It's a pleasant drive with little traffic and not far off the interstate," Tyhurst said.
"Who's Under Where?" begins at 8 p.m., and the show runs two hours, so guests are ready to leave by 10 p.m. The show is a farce so timing is important as are entrances and extis.
"I told the actors from day one, this is a hard show to pull off. It will be both demanding physically and mentally. They have accepted the challenge and are so highly focused. You should see them post show-- the green room is more like a NFL locker room because they are so exhausted," Tyhurst said.
Tyhurst gives a special nod to his stage manager, Jenny Knecht who, he said, has created wonderful costumes that bring the house down in laughter.
Industry Night excites Tyhurst. He said he wants to start a new tradition at the Paradise Playhouse to welcome and encourage artists to experience Excelsior Springs and their venue for future projects. Tyhurst said he wants the city and venue to grow, to include more performances and opportunities throughout the year.
"We theatre people are all friends and want to support each other but it can be difficult both financially and time wise because we are concurrently involved in shows ourselves. And actors love performing in front of their friends and colleagues, so I guarantee there will be an electric atmosphere on industry night," Tyhurst said.
"Who's Under Where?" comes from the pen of Marci Kash and Douglas E. Hughes and follows young entrepreneurs Sybil and Jane who are on the brink of the deal of their lives. Italian Fashion Designer Bruno Frufruelli is meeting with them at a ritzy hotel suite to sign up 'Passion Fashion Wear' to a five million dollar contracts. But of course everything goes wrong including jealous husbands, mannequins a lecherous security guard in this giddy farce.
The cast includes: Randy Campbell as George, Matt Wright as Bruno, Jeremy Edwards as Sebastian, Ryan Drew as Paul, Landis Merrill as Jane, Ann Lauderdale as Sybil, and John Fairlamb as Roger. The creative team includes: Andy Tyhurst, artistic director, director; Sean Bailey, technical director and designer; Bria Sweany, key grip; Leah Johnson, stage manager; Jenny Knecht, assistant stage manager; Leah Johnson, house manager.
Give lots of credit to this cast in their first performances at Paradise Playhouse. They all performed solidly as an ensemble and gave nuances to each of their characters. The show, being a farce, requires sharp timing and crist entrances/exits. The comedy in this piece comes from both dialogue and physical comedy from the actors. Men in drag always elicits laughter. Men in drag and in women's lingerie brings a new level to the frivolity of this piece.
Campbell and Drew provide a lot of laughs as the two husbands who just don't get it. Drew's and Campbell's characters are convinced that their wives are having illicit sex in a hotel room and from there the comedy develops. The wives, played by Merrill and Lauderdale, only want to surprise their husbands if they can pull off a $5 million contract with an Italian lingerie entrepreneur, Bruno, as played by Matt Wright.
The four main actors in this piece, Campbell, Drew. Merrill, and Lauderdale fit perfectly into this play. They work well. They anticipate reaction. They played the comedy as serious, making it more fun for the audience to find the humor in each line and situation. Comedy is best when played seriously, giving the audience the chance to find and react to the humor unfolding before them.
The supporting cast of Wright, Edwards, and Fairlamb, also provide a strong stage presence and fit well into this ensemble cast. All three of these gentlemen perform as professionals and should be pleased with their performance and the audience's reaction to their performances.
"Who's Under Where?" creates good time or the audience. The show closes this weekend, but count on seeing these actors on stage at the Paradise Playhouse in upcoming productions. All are worth your time, your money, and your enjoyment.

Award winning Scottish theatre company, Wee Stories, will be performing its production of Scotland's most famous ghost story, Tam O'Shanter, tomorrow night to the Dutch community living in Scotland as part of the Scotland in the Netherlands cultural exchange, organised by the Scottish Arts Council.
The performance, which will take place at the Traverse Theatre, follows on from the company's successful visit to the Netherlands earlier this month in which they performed as part of the literature festival, Mooie Woorden (Beautiful Word) in Utrecht.
Live music, performed by cellist Wendy Weatherby, and storytelling combine in Andy Cannon's masterful retelling of the infamous poem, which has been innovatively devised for audiences as young as six. For the Netherlands performances, Wee Stories worked with Dutch storyteller, Ernst Weestra of Theaterbureau Het Verteltheater, to integrate a Dutch translation into the production.
David Taylor, Head of the Scottish Arts Council, says: 'The Scotland in the Netherlands initiative provided a wonderful opportunity for an award winning Scottish theatre company to take a critically acclaimed show to an international audience, while also helping to celebrate and promote Scottish arts and the Scots language to Dutch audiences. This performance to the Dutch community living in Scotland aims to strengthen the cultural links that this initiative has helped to form.'

Feeling a little discouraged about finding what you really want out of a relationship? Or maybe you don't know what you want. Tamia's song Last First Kiss should motivate even the most skeptical of daters. Who wouldn't want someone who they can feel this way about, "Baby you're perfect, perfect to me, simply means that you are perfect for me." There is a lot of truth to someone being perfect for you. There is not a perfect person on this Earth but there are people that are better suited for you than others. So how do you weed through the rift raft to get to your prince or princess charming? Knowing what you want and learning that patience can be your bestfriend will get you on the right track.
Tamia says, "My plan is not to just have a hit and quit. My plan is to make you my last first kiss." She is upfront about what she wants and this ability to own your desires and stand up for them in the end is what is going to get you exactly what you want.
"First time I kissed you I just knew it felt right. Then when I'm with you I'm walking cloud nine. Just being with you makes my whole life shine." For some, it isn't always this clear from the very beginning. But patience will help you see if what you have is what you really want. More times than not, what you want, is not what you need. Learn what makes you happy so you are able to spot it sooner and you won't waste so much time on what you don't want and especially what you don't need.
But is hoping for love like this setting us all up for disappointment? Isn't the dating and relationship game disappointment enough without adding another layer of fantasy? But what if this kind of relationship is out there for all of us? Wouldn't it be worth the wait? Perhaps if people learned patience and held out for what they really wanted there wouldn't be such a high divorce rate, just a thought.
Along with knowing what you want and patience, relinquishing your control or the control you think you have over falling in love is important. Love is not something that anyone can truly explain or understand. It is more of a sickness than an emotion. Something you have to succumb to in order to fully appreciate its power.
Spring is coming Kansas City believe it or not. There are some wonderful places to have your last first kiss. If you are in to more public displays of affection, what better way to have a memorable last first kiss than standing in line for a roller coaster at World's of Fun? Going to an amusement park is a great way to get to know someone and allow yourself to be a kid again. The adrenaline from having a new love interest coupled with the sheer rush of excitement from riding a roller coaster is over-the-top amazing.
For those of you that are more private, a picnic at the Wyandotte County Lake offers a plethora of perfectly cozy last first kiss spots. With the crickets chirping and the stars giving you their blessing you can capture the essence of the kiss surrounded by the natural beauty of the lake.
A kiss can tell you a lot about what a relationship is or is not going to be. Pay attention.
