College Hockey:Hehr Scores Two as Fredonia Crushes Morrisville
Game Raises Close to $10K for Cancer Research
FREDONIA, N.Y. — The third annual Pink the Rink event at Fredonia, the originators of the concept, was the most successful one yet. Fans filled the stands before the warm-ups were completed, and they continued to stream in up to the opening faceoff, as it was four to five deep in standing room and along the corner boards.
This year's event saw the Blue Devils wear not just pink uniforms (and pink socks), but with names other than their own on their backs. Uniforms were "purchased" by anyone who wanted to put a name of a loved one affected by cancer, with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
The most personal story for Fredonia students was that of junior business major Jessica Webber, Jessa to her friends, who passed away January 6 after a seven-year battle with brain cancer. Her friends wanted to honor her by purchasing a jersey, but they didn't have the funds. Two Fredonia professors, who wished to remain anonymous, donated the $250 needed to put "J. WEBBER" on the back of Bryan Ross' jersey.
"It wasn't easy for her to get up the stairs (to the classroom)," said Barb Webber, Jessa's mother. "But she was determined and wanted to finish what she had started. The professors were good about everything. She dedicated most of her time to her school work. I think that's what kept her going, and it gave her the drive to keep trying. She never, ever gave up."
After the game, the players gave the jerseys to those who purchased them. Matt Webber accepted the jersey honoring his sister to a thunderous cheer from the student section.
"There was a lot of emotional attachment by the people in this building tonight because of the jerseys," Fredonia coach Jeff Meredith said. "The presentation at the end — you had entire families, classes of school children coming out. Cancer is something that affects all of us. They wanted to see their loved one's jerseys on someone's back."
Before the opening face off, the event raised $8,100. With fundraising activity taking place during the game, Meredith is hoping they top $10,000.
Oh, there was a hockey game to be played against Morrisville. Although Fredonia clinched the third seed in the conference playoffs and home ice for Tuesday's play-in game, tonight's result determined whether they play Morrisville again or Potsdam.
Fredonia ensured a rematch in three days, using a three-goal outburst in a span of 2:42 in the second period to break open a 1-1 tie to defeat Morrisville, 7-1. The Blue Devils remain unbeaten on Pink the Rink events going 2-0-1.
"We've done the Pink the Rink for a number of years now," Meredith said. "You come out to warm ups and the place is standing room only. They start lining up at 5:30 for the doors to open at 6:00 just to get a seat. You have so much energy, so much emotion, it takes time to settle down. Once we settled down, we were where we needed to be."
Morrisville spoiled the initial crowd excitement by opening the scoring on their first power play chance at 6:46. Chris Cerbino, standing by the right post, tipped it past Kody Van Rentergem [Turner].
"We battled in the first 20 minutes," Morrisville coach Brian Grady said. "Obviously, we got a big power-play goal to start. We didn't back down. I think the walls kind of caved in on us in the second. We ran out of gas. Taking nothing away from Fredonia. They are as good as anyone. Their feet never stop moving. We just ran into a buzz saw, but at the same time we ran into a wall both physically and mentally. It's been a long drive to get to this point. If there's a positive, we get to see them again."
Fredonia reignited the home fans at 17:26 when James Muscatello's [Hendricks] backhander fooled Caylin Relkoff, as it appeared he was expecting Muscatello to pass to a player down low.
Fredonia had the better of play in the first, with a number of excellent scoring chances. They continued to get stronger in the second period, dominating portions of the game as if they were on a power play.
Midway through the period, Grady called time out. An early time out against Potsdam last month worked wonders for Morrisville.
This time it didn't work, as Fredonia got the go-ahead goal 42 seconds later and then 43 seconds after that, scored again. Another 1:59 later, it was 4-1.
"There were three shifts in a row there we didn't get the puck out of our zone," Grady said. "You take a gamble with it, and obviously it didn't work tonight."
First, Ross [J. Webber], from behind the net, fed Mitch Kulikoski [Kulikoski] in front who easily one-timed it past Relkoff. Then, Jeff Aonso [E. Reilly] crashed the net, putting the puck in during the process. Finally, Ross converted a two-on-one, shooting from the slot, putting it over the goalie's left shoulder just under the crossbar.
Fredonia sealed the game in the final period with two Mat Hehr [N. Lacusta] power-play goals. The first came at 5:51 when Hehr picked up a loose puck at the right faceoff dot, turned, and fired it past Relkoff. The second was thanks to Hehr's hard work, as he followed up on his own rebound twice to finally put it in.
Morrisville pulled Relkoff, putting in Matt Treadwell.
He didn't fare any better, as the Blue Devils made it 7-1 at 11:49. Jordan Oye [Scharett] fired it from the slot area.
Van Rentergem got 28 saves in the win as Fredonia outshot Morrisville, 53-29.
Thus, Fredonia (17-6-2, 9-5-2) hosts Morrisville (8-16-0, 5-11-0) at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in the first round of the SUNYAC playoffs while Potsdam goes to Brockport.

@StatCity: Cardiff preview
- 17 January 2014 13:27
- Posted by @StatCity
The formidable Twitter stat-fanatics @StatCity return with a numerical look ahead to the home clash against Cardiff...
The race to 100 goals heats up this weekend when Cardiff City come to town. With all the media hype surrounding City's free scoring exploits of late, it's easy to forget that there is actually a Premier League tie being played out on Saturday.
So let's get the '100 goals' statistics out of the way, shall we? If the Blues manage to score against Cardiff this weekend, it would represent the quickest time that a Premier League team has managed to hit a century in a single season (beating Chelsea's current record in the 2012-13 season by 8 matches).
City would also set a new record in terms of the fastest time taken by an English team to reach 100 goals in a single season should they net against the Bluebirds. A goal against this weekend's visitors would beat Manchester United's record set in 1957 by 19 days.
The Blues would also beat their own personal record by a whopping 46 days should they net against Cardiff City on Saturday. A record set by Kevin Keegan's high flying City side in the 2001-02 season.
Manchester City's current record in terms of the fastest number of games to reach 100 goals is 37 games; achieved in the 1925-26 season (although that game didn't take place until 13th March). Should City find the net on Saturday, they would be this record by 3 games (54 days on the calendar!).
Now for the game….. The two sides are meeting for the 49th time in all competitions. City have won 19 (39.58%), drawn 20 (41.67%) and lost just 9 (18.75%) of the previous 48 matches against Cardiff City. The Blues have scored 90 goals against the South Wales outfit (1.87 gpg) and have conceded 67 in reply (1.39 gpg). City have only failed to score on 6 occasions against the Bluebirds (12.50%) and have kept a clean sheet 11 times (22.92%).
At home, City haven't lost to Cardiff City since 1961 and have won 5 of the last 7 meetings on home soil in that time. The Blues have never failed to score against Cardiff City in league matches at home, a run stretching back to 1921.
There a fair few milestones on offer this weekend should the Blues stick to the script. A win against the Bluebirds would be City's 250th victory in the Premier League era.
If Joe Hart plays a part on Saturday and City manage to secure victory, it would be his 100th Premier League win for the club. The first City player to reach this landmark.
So can Manchester City reach 100 goals in the fastest time for an English club? Here's hoping!

CCS: Mobilising Private Sector Finance
- Date
- 20 September 2010
The Climate Group and the Ecofin Research Foundation are working on a joint initiative to assess, and possibly stimulate, private sector financing for first generation industrial scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. This brief report provides an overview of initial findings from a European perspective.
We canvassed over 30 private sector capital providers about the risks and returns of a post-combustion, new build, coal-fired power station. The following messages are emerging:
1. Debt… not yet. Ample debt may be available but only if three pre-requisites can be addressed:
- An indicator of performance across the whole capture and generation chain must be provided by a well-regarded equipment supplier or contractor.
- Major sponsors who have successfully managed sizable and complicated construction projects must be involved.
- Economics of CCS must have a route to being competitive with other forms of generation, without public funding.
2. Not for specialist equity. Specialist equity, such as private equity or infrastructure funds, will not be mobilized to finance demonstration projects. Private equity sees demonstration of CCS, like technology funding – requiring high returns across a spread of projects.
3. On the balance sheet… but limited in scale. Bond holders or equity holders from the big pension funds or insurance companies are comfortable with corporates using their balance sheets to finance CCS, but only as long as the scale is limited to just a couple of percent of group assets.
4. Demonstrations helped by the private sector… but for two, not eight projects. It is generally agreed that government sources will provide part of the funding for CCS demonstration projects and that will be topped up by private sector sources. Limited private sector funding, adequate for just two CCS demonstrations, according to recent findings, means that a multitude of CCS demonstration projects cannot be pursued.
5. Government funding needs to focus on fewer CCS demonstration projects. Public sector financial support for CCS from European sources needs to be focused on far fewer projects instead of being spread over numerous CCS technologies. This will ensure some of the challenges are faced – and hopefully overcome.
We intend to build on our initial findings through additional interviews with capital providers to widen the geographic reach as well as explore other examples of possible CCS projects such as enhanced oil recovery and/or retrofitting. We will disseminate these findings to stakeholders such as capital providers, project developers and policymakers, in order to help break down the identified barriers.

In Excel 2010 when I turn on the filter and click on the down arrow "Select All", and therefore all choices, is selected. Turning off all choices is as easy as unchecking "Select All". However sometimes I am so focused on looking for a specific value I forget to uncheck it. Is there an easy (non macro, non VBA) way to have none of the choices checked when you click on the down arrow?
In the example I really only want to filter to "31". Other then scrolling back up, uncheck "Select All" then scrolling down to find "31" again is there another option. This is particuallry a pain when you have hundreds of options in the list.

On March 9, 2011, the National U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) and the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) signed an agreement to establish the Oman-U.S. Joint Business Council (JBC). The accord, inked during the two-day U.S.-Oman Joint Economic Forum, creates a first-of-its-kind entity between the two nations that will have a presence in the capital cities of Muscat and Washington, DC. To learn more about the Oman-U.S. Joint Business Council, please contact NUSACC at +1 (202) 289-5920.
[Source: NUSACC's U.S.-Arab Trade Outlook 2013]
Oman's recent celebration of four decades of leadership by H.M. Qaboos bin Said Al Said underscored the continuity of U.S.-Oman trade relations. From the 1790 Treaty of Commerce and Amity – the first bilateral accord between the U.S. and an Arab Gulf nation – to the 2009 Free Trade Agreement (FTA), Oman and the United States enjoy a longstanding and multifaceted relationship.
In 2009, Oman was America's eleventh largest market in the Arab world for merchandise and service exports, on track to surpass $2 billion in 2011. By 2013, the Sultanate is expected to move up to the number eight position, in part on the strength of its FTA with the United States. U.S. exports to Oman are expected to rise to over $3 billion annually, with Texas, Washington, Maryland, New Jersey, and California serving as the top five exporting States. According to NUSACC projections, exports of U.S. goods and services to Oman will be led by industrial machinery, vehicles, optic and medical instruments, and various agricultural items.
The FTA, implemented in 2009, was given a boost in 2010 when the U.S. State Department Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Oman to promote the productivity of small and medium-sized enterprises in conjunction with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
In 2010, Oman's oil production levels rose 6.6 percent to 862,000 bpd, with Oman spending $3.5 billion on oil projects. Oman's production target for 2011 is to reach one million bpd for the very first time. Oman's dwindling oil reserves have prompted the Sultanate to move more aggressively into natural gas production, economic diversification, and privatization. Natural gas output increased 7.7 percent in 2010, while LNG output grew by 5.5 percent to 11.5 billion cubic meters. Oman's mining sector has grown to 500 licensed mining and quarrying operators.
Oman Power and Water Procurement Company's 2010 – 2016 seven-year plan forecasts that maximum power demand will nearly double from 3,424 megawatts in 2009 to 6,043 megawatts by 2016. Desalinated water demand will more than double from 119 million cubic meters in 2009 to 272 million in 2016, reflecting industrial, tourism and population demands, as well as declining reliance on groundwater resources. Oman's tenders for power plants and transmission facilities are also boosted by newly installed transmission links to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE) that will allow commercial power exports as soon as technical and commercial agreements are finalized.
Oman's mobile subscriber market reached 4.53 million persons in 2010. The Sultanate spun off stakes in telecom service provider Omantel in 2005 and, more recently, it sold $474.7 million in shares of Nawras, another mobile phone provider. Oman also sold stakes in petroleum products company Al Maha while seeking heavy private sector investment in gas products. With a view to privatization and diversification, the Government of Oman is currently studying ways to sell off stakes in Oman Chromit, Oman Fisheries Company, Oman National Transport Company, the Golden Tulip Hotel chain, and Oman Post Company. India-based Jindal Steel and Power acquired Shadeed Iron and Steel in Oman and plans to ramp up production to 80 percent of plant capacity (1.5 million tons annually) by 2012.
A strong commitment to environmental protection and zoning laws that encourage Omani architecture have made Oman one of the most charming places in the Arab world. With this in mind, Oman has launched new efforts to increase the number of tourists to 12 million visitors per year by 2020. A 2010 World Travel and Tourism Council report identified Oman as a "fast mover," estimating an increase in tourism revenues from $4.36 billion in 2010 (7.6 percent of GDP) to $7.6 billion (9.2 percent of GDP) by 2020.

Envato does too much and has complete control over too many aspects of our arrangement to be considered anything less than the seller. Envato has complete control over payment processing, pricing, order fulfillment, issuing refunds, which specific items are sold and to a large extent promotion. Now, despite claiming to not be the seller, Envato is even planning on paying VAT for me. To me that is a contradiction.To me a "platform" or intermediary would be a site like ebay where:
- You pay a subscription, listing or sale fee (which is what we are now being told commissions were all along).
- You are free to sell anything that fits the scope of the market and is legal. The market place should not be able to refuse an item based on an individuals subjective opinion over quality.
- You are given a space to list and promote your goods.
- You deal directly with the buyer and receive all payments directly from them. That clearly isn't the case here.
I'm not a fan of the changes at all. I don't have a problem with the site having a white background but as things are now it no longer feels like a cohesive design. That combined with bad font styling makes it look like someone forgot to upload a style sheet.
visualkicks saidI think that's the problem. Themes on the marketplace have become convoluted and many are no longer easy to just pick up and use. Occasionally that's because the theme does something new and specific but more often than not it's because it tries to do too much and moves away from the existing WordPress functionality and way of doing things.
I sat down with some buyers at a cafe recently and asked what they want in a theme and they all said the same thing… "1 theme to do everything". Learning a new theme can be hard. That in itself is saying a lot though.
You are trying to install the wrong file.https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510-Common-WordPress-Installation-Issues
Ivor said
Multiple themes like multiple folders of different design niches / layouts? Can you please give me an example? If you're willing to provide information please lodge a ticket and paste the ID here, I will gladly take a look and discuss it with the Review Team.
It's probably not fair to call out one particular author as this is something that is prevalent in almost all top selling themes now but go to the item in question in this thread and look at the images of the "demos" on the item page. Each image shows a layout that is massively different from the last. Each is in essence a different theme.
To further demonstrate the problem, you talk about a theme branching into different design niches well this theme has a "layout" for all of the following.
- Real estate
- Medicine
- Restaurant
- Blog / magazine
- Churches
- Photography portfolio
- "Shop"
- Businesses
- Email marketing
All of the above have their own categories in the marketplace. Multi-purpose themes are nothing more than theme bundles.
GravityDept said
lumbermandesigns saidThis. This. This. Is what many Elites are thinking over the last few months.
Now we reached an Elite status just in three months, but we are thinking not about new theme release, but on how to get out of here (TF) asap. We do not want to build a long lasting partnership with a company who allow that.
The way things have been going lately haven't filled me with much confidence in this marketplace. I'm here for now because it's the only place I can currently make a living, however, I am actively searching for a viable alternative which will most likely mean going it alone like several other Elite authors have done in the last year or so.
The main reason for my change in mood is because I no longer feel like a valued partner to Envato. I'm now just one of thousands of completely expendable "Sellers".
It's all CSS animations and pretty simple. The triangle is created using borders on an elements :before or :after pseudo elements. You can use an online generator to create the triangle.
The animation itself is fading in opacity of the triangles parent and animating the triangles top value to move it up into view. The triangle is absolute positioned so although it is technically inside the parent in the hierarchy it isn't necessarily inside its parent when you see it on the screen.
The animations are triggered on the child element when you hover over the parent element.

 :before

.portfolio-item:hover .portfolio-item-preview { opacity: 1; } .portfolio-item:hover .portfolio-item-preview:before { top: XXXpx; }
It's mostly to add credibility. As Lumbermandesigns said, it makes potential customers feel comfortable and putting a face to a business makes the business more trustworthy. But of course there are many cases where the faces on a website are stock images and the team members completely fabricated.
I've been using beta and RC versions for a few months now and I have not noticed any compatibility issues at all.
mad_dog saidYou have to remember that you are in the minority. The vast majority of authors on the Marketplace do not have their own external support systems in place and I do not think it is fair to expect them to develop their own solutions to a problem effectively forced on them by Envato.
Kriesi saidSame here, it is much easier and convenient to provide the support via our own system. I use the help forum and zendesk. I have a huge knowledgebase and documentation on my own site. I do not want to move to another system.
If they really want to improve the experience: Instead of trying to force this, I would suggest to make it easier for authors to support their items. I am not talking about a full fledged support solution on the marketplace, I actually prefer my own support forums where I can add features as I see fit, but an oAuth login for example is long overdue.

I've decided my next novel will be called "Fifty Shades of Carlos Danger." Danger will be a sort of good-guy Carlos the Jackal, retired from work as a CIA assassin and now a US Congressman. The opening sentence, inspired by actual historical documents:
From the parapet Carlos Danger surveys the teeming crowd below, searching for a mark, any mark, even as his left hand wanders into his pocket, clutches his BlackBerry, and thrills at the vibration of some new text or tweet or IM from one of these Capitol Hill hotties he texted or tweeted or IMed just hours ago when, in his snug and snowy briefs (never boxers), his thumb nestled in the almost clitoral roundness of the home key–O Happy Trigger of Visual Delectation!–he snapped yet another shot, yet another lustrous sacrament fired off wantonly to this world of pic-wanting women, never imagining, until now, as the pomegranate-lipped CNN reporter, notebook aloft, gazes doeishly into his burning browns, that each recipient of one of his manly missives would fail to do him a solid and hard-delete that text or tweet or IM and thus secure his future with Huma, now posed against the bar in that posture of wifely submission a man of Danger's unique abilities and endowments comes, in time, to expect.
Best second sentence wins a free autographed copy of the Kindle second edition.

The Coordinated School Health (CSH) model was created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the late 1980s. CSH utilizes eight interactive components that reflect key school health areas. Together these components guide people involved in school health planning to think broadly about how to prevent health related barriers to learning, and promote health for the entire school community. Key action steps serve as a roadmap for engaging the Coordinated School Health model in an inclusive, effective and sustainable way.
The Coordinated School Health Program is part of the Adolescent, Genetic and Reproductive Health Section in the Center for Prevention and Health Promotion.

I get the idea behind an objective statement; I really do. You want the employer to know what your job search goal is. But the problem with objective statements is the way they're written. I've never seen an objective statement that was not broad and unclear. They're basically a waste of crucial real estate on your resume. Below, I'm going to list a few examples of poorly written objective statements. I think you'll agree they...
8 Resume Do Nots

These Two Phrases on Your Resume Are Why It Just Hit the Trash Can
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jan, 2013
Does your resume read like a job description? Is it one long list of bullets that contain the phrases duties included or responsible for? Sought-after candidates (the ones whose phones are ringing off the hook for interviews while you're struggling to get one call-back) don't include phrases like these on their resumes. I hate to be so blunt but hey, you need to know. Stop selling yourself short in your job search. You CAN hav...
3 Ways to Draw Industry Specific Terminology on Your Resume
by Debra Ann Matthews - Jan, 2013
Believe it or not, some people are so proficient at their jobs, that they can't tell you what they do for a living.

Getting Out of Your Own Way to Write a Good Resume
by Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter - Jan, 2013
Everyone has a story to tell, and by digging deep, you can unearth gems that sparkle and gleam, attracting even the weariest hiring manager's attention. Sadly, however, most people don't know how to excavate their precious-stone stories, and the result is lackluster content. A marketing-driven resume must be color-rich, clear, and strong enough to bear the heavy—often unforgiving—weight of the resume-vetting process. T...

Godfrey's army started its journey from Lorraine in August 1096. Over the course of three years, his and other armies of crusaders suffered many hardships and loss, and fought many battles and conducted several sieges. It is something of a miracle that the crusaders ever made it into the Holy Land as a fighting force capable of success.
Godfrey died in 1100, and his brother Baldwin was crowned the first Latin King of Jerusalem on December 25, 1100.
Though there were other Crusades, none were as successful as the First, which gained its principal aim of liberating the holy sites from infidel control, and of protecting Christians from their sufferings under Seljuk Turk rule.
The holy city would fall to the Mohammedans in 1187, but the Kingdom itself endured for nearly 200 years, until the fall of Acre in 1291.

What's a weekend without theatre. Yes, we're on vacation, but that doesn't stop us from our theatre. We loves our theatre, yes we do. Oh, right, the review. (straightens his metaphorical tie) Ahem...
Tonight we drove down to Palo Alto (well, actually, we drove up from Mountain View, as we were seeing friends) to Theatreworks to see to closing performance of the new musical "Tinyard Hill". This was the world premier of this new musical, part of Theatreworks New Works Festival '09, which features book, music, and lyrics by Tommy Newman and Mark Allen.
"Tinyard Hill" takes place in the summer of 1964, as the Vietnam War is ramping up. It tells the story of two families in Tinyard Hill, GA: Russell Kingsley (James Moyeæ) and his son, David Kinsgley (Chris Critelliæ), and May Bell Whitehead (Allison Brineræ) and her niece Aileen Garrett (Melissa WolfKlainæ). Russell and his sons are blacksmiths, and David has ideas to make his father's shop a success. Aileen has come to Tinyard Hill to escape the craziness of her upcoming wedding, and to have her aunt make her a wedding dress. But then David and Aileen meet... with predictable results. Let's just say that sparks fly, and not just from the anvils. Add to this some history between Russell and May Bell, and a draft notice for David, and you can see how the drama builds.
As this is a new work, let's start with the book. Some portions are predictable: you know that David and Aileen will eventually come together, although you don't know how the other family dynamics will work. Some portions aren't: such as the family history or the interaction with the Vietnam War. However, even with the predictability the story is enjoyable and fast paced. I certainly sensed no gaping flaws, no areas that required suspension of disbelief.
The actors were all superb. I was particularly smitten with the looks and the enthusiasm, as well as the singing ability, of the younger leads (Chris Critelli and Melissa WolfKlain). I would love to see both again, especially in productions closer to home. Their investment in their characters was remarkable. The older leads were also very strong -- I liked James Moye quite a bit, but there were times where Allison Briner seemed a little off for the role (not that she acted or sang badly, but she just didn't have the gospel feel she seemed to need at points).
[æ denotes members of æ Actors Equity ]
Technically, the show was remarkable. The sets (by Tom Langguth) did a remarkable job of evoking the feel of the rural south, and seemed to miraculously float in and out. When combined with the effective lighting by Pamila Gray the effects were spectacular. I especially enjoyed the little touches, such as the use of LED lighting bugs on the trees, or the gentle blues of the swamps. The sound design by Cliff Caruthers ensured that all could be heard, and there were no microphone glitches. The costumes by Cathleen Edwards effectively established both the era and locale.
The show was directed by Robert Kelley. Stage management was by Jaimie L. Johnson, assisted by Joshua M. Rose. Musical direction was by William Liberatore, who was part of and conducted the six member band, which played wonderfully.
This was the last performance of "Tinyard Hill". We were impressed with TheatreWorks, and would see more of their productions.... if they weren't in a city 400 miles from home!
By Tommy Newman and Mark Allen
Tinyard Hill, Georgia is a small town partial to old-time music and new-forged dreams, especially for a handsome young blacksmith hammering out a living at the historic smithy his family has owned for generations. When an out-of-this-world beauty and an out-of-the-blue draft notice arrive within days, his life is turned upside down. Set in the '60s to a foot-stompin' country-pop score, this feisty new musical tells of family, fortune, patriotism, and romance in an era of irresistible change. Tinyard Hill received its Original Developmental Full Production at Red Mountain Theatre Company, Birmingham, AL.

There are several full-time care options for working parents; there are day care centers that offer full-day care options which are both DCFS (www.DCFS.illinois.gov.) and NAEYC (www.naeyc.org.) accredited, there are day care homes, which should also be DCFS accredited, and for those parents who wish there is the option of a full-time Nanny, who comes into your home, and takes care of not only your children, but your home as well!
There are advantages and disadvantages to any of these options, a day care center has school closings, and can send your child home, if they come to school sick, on the other hand, especially if they are NAEYC certified, the teachers there are special trained in Early Childhood Education, and Care. A Day Care home, also closes as needed for holidays and vacation time, and can also refuse sick care, but offers a less expensive option, for a home-like setting, with hot meals, and a loving and nurturing environment.
A Full-Time Nanny, comes into your home, regardless of whether or not it's a school day, will offer a more flexible schedule, often working evenings and weekends as required, and will take care of your children regardless of their health issues, and often takes care of; laundry, meal preparation, household tasks, driving children to a variety of developmentally appropriate activities, and sets the schedule to your child (children's) needs. The disadvantage of hiring a Nanny is that it is more costly, and a person (that is not a relative) is coming into your home, and taking care of not only your children, but everything that you hold most dear!
While you are considering a perfect care situation for your Family, think about your options, if it appears that hiring a full-time Nanny is the best option for you, here are some things to consider while going through the hiring process; are you willing to pay the going rate? In the Chicago area, the going rate is approximately $15 per hour worked. Are you willing to pay your Nanny a salary, while withholding taxes? If your Nanny, refuses to have taxes withheld, you want to find out why-is he/she legal to work in the United States? Do you feel comfortable checking past references? If you feel uncomfortable calling previous employers based on a pre-conceived notion of them, really re-consider hiring this person. Your Nanny reflects you and your Family, and who they are, and what their personal values are will become a part of who your children are and also what your children value. If you are a conservative staunch Republican who does not believe in "OBAMACARE", and does not give to charity because you make too much money to utilize giving as a tax write-off, do not hire a Nanny who is a staunch Democrat, who even though they make a meager living, is in a constant mode of giving to charitable causes, you will not see eye-to-eye, and it will be difficult to trust that your Nanny is making the best decisions for your household.
Trust is imperative in this relationship of care, and without it nobody will be happy and the care process will not be productive! So if you have weighed your options, and still feel that a full-time Nanny is the best option for your Family, here is a little tried and true advice; know that they will need to eat, especially if they are working a full-day, they may eat your food, or they may opt to bring their own, but you need to be comfortable with the knowledge that they will be utilizing your kitchen, they may be going through your cupboards, refrigerator, etc. and again, if you trust your Nanny, you trust that they can handle this task easily, A little kindness goes a long way, an occasional bouquet of flowers, a nice book, a Starbucks gift-card, is so greatly appreciated, it's a nice way of letting them know how much you appreciate everything they do, and the kindness will be returned, and worth your extra effort, You want your Nanny to feel as if they are part of your Family, and having them comfortable in your home, will allow them to provide a loving and nurturing experience for your children which will last long beyond the years of care!
Here are some web-sites to get you started on your Nanny search:

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.Publisher: Speak, an Imprint of Penguin Group (USA) Inc.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

366 Pages
Single Title/Series: MATCHED is book one in the Matched Trilogy.
Cover Thoughts: A simple yet effective representation of the story within—a beautiful girl tentatively pushes against the invisible but very real boundaries that define her existence. A lot of covers try too hard, this one effortlessly entices with vivid color and relevant imagery.
Origin: VampFanGirl received a published release copy of MATCHED from the publisher.
Guest Review by Jennifer Donohue:
The Plot:
Cassia Reyes lives in the world of the future, in a time when everything is orderly and perfect. The structured lives of citizens in the Society are very refined, planned right down to the last detail—including the day they die. They're told where they will live and what they will do for work. Even their food is selected for them and delivered at predetermined times in small foil packages. Cassia easily accepts the lack of choice as the price for optimal health and a quiet life without the threat of crime.
Now, on her seventeenth birthday, Cassia nervously attends her Match Banquet with the exhilaration of a girl anticipating prom. She's eager to learn which boy the Society has chosen for her future spouse, and she's proud to be a part of it all. Cassia is thrilled when her handsome best friend, Xander, is revealed as her match, but her initial excitement is short-lived.
There's a glitch with Cassia's match, and instead of the customary one, the Matching screen shows two matches—Xander and Ky. The Matching System is designed to select each person's perfect Match and the Society never makes mistakes. What could this mean? An Official quickly contacts Cassia to correct the error, but the damage is done. The existence of a flaw in the system opens her mind to the possibility that the Society is not so infallible after all.
Cassia quickly finds herself sliding down a slippery slope as she begins breaking the rules and questioning the intentions of the Society. And although her official Match is Xander, she can't help but notice Ky, the quiet boy who moved to their neighborhood years ago under unusual circumstances. What if Xander was the mistake and Ky was supposed to be her Match? Each boy represents a different aspect of her world. One holds the promise of everything she's been taught life should be, while the other pulls her out of her easy view of life to see the darker, hidden elements of the Society. Who will she pick when the choice isn't even hers to make?
The Heroine:
Young Adult heroines must tread a fine line between accurately hormonal teenage girl and likeable protagonist. Too often, the characters are sent way over the top into emotional mayhem and aggressively defiant independence. Cassia Reyes is a welcome change. She is normal—an intelligent, rational girl who loves her family and tires to follow the rules. The author does an exceptional job depicting Cassia's struggle as she breaks the accepted standards of the Society to follow her heart. She's easy to relate to and the evolution of her character is very organic and believable.
The Heroes:
It wouldn't be YA without a love triangle. Xander and Ky are both perfectly suitable objects of Cassia's affection. Well, maybe not according to the strict rules of the Society. One of them holds a secret that sets him worlds apart from the others in terms of rights and privileges of citizenship.
Xander is a high-achieving type A. He's good at everything he does and Cassia's thrilled he's her Match. Ky's lived in the neighborhood for years, but Cassia knows very little about him beyond the fact that she can't get him out of her head since seeing him flash onto her Match screen. I applaud the author for making both boys appealing in their own way. Cassia's choice isn't obvious, and that makes Matched all the more fun.
Jennifer's Final Thoughts:
This book is light on romance and heavy on dystopian concepts. This happens to work well for me because I love reading stories set in extreme civilizations that make people take a closer look at—and question—their own circumstances. How much are we willing to give up for a perceived feeling of security? What if the established system isn't fair, but we happen to be part of the group that receives the privileges? These are some of the issues Cassia must face.
While the romance is central to the story, I wasn't swept up by it. In fact, I'll admit for the longest time I was either unable to see where it was going, or I was stubbornly refusing to see because I wanted the other guy to win. Quite possibly I was just much more interested in the Society, with their rules and restrictions, because the author so masterfully built it from the beginning of the story and kept adding new elements, continuously upping the ante.
With a beautifully rendered dystopian world, Matched engaged me from the first scene through the last. Whispers of sinister underpinnings provide an endless store of intrigue to propel the reader forward. Every Citizen carries three emergency pills at all times, what are they for? Why aren't they allowed into each other's homes? And why is everyone so afraid to break the rules? I can't promise that all of these questions are answered in Matched, but I can say this book is a fun read and once you pick it up, it won't be long before you're ready to read Crossed.

Death Of A Ladies' Man
I Left A Woman Waiting
I left a woman waiting
I met her sometime later
She said, I see your eyes are dead
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you, my lover?
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you?
And since she spoke the truth to me
I tried to answer truthfully
Whatever happened to my eyes
Happened to your beauty
Happened to your beauty
What happened to your beauty
Happened to me
We took ourselves to someone's bed
And there we fell together
Quick as dogs and truly dead were we
And free as running water
Free as running water
Free as running water
Free as you and me
The way it's got to be
The way it's got to be, lover

The History of Mount Sinai
On January 15, 1852, nine men representing a variety of Jewish charities agreed on a vision for free medical care for indigent Jews in New York City. In 1855, that vision came to fruition with the establishment of the 45-bed Jews' Hospital in New York in what was then a rural neighborhood on West 28th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.
Although the hospital was a sectarian institution, the Jews' Hospital accepted emergency patients of any religious affiliation. In its first years of operation, the majority of patients were foreign born. As the Jews' Hospital was a charitable enterprise, its directors relied on the gifts of friends and members, as well as payments from the government, to provide enough to subsidize care.
During the Civil War, the Hospital expanded to accommodate Union soldiers. After this, to reflect its broadened mission and to maintain its eligibility for state and city support, the Jews' Hospital formally abandoned its sectarian charter in 1866 and was renamed The Mount Sinai Hospital. In 1872, it moved to a new 120-bed facility on Lexington Avenue, between 66th and 67th Streets, nearly tripling its original capacity.
Move to Upper East Side Leads to Expanded Services
With the move to Lexington Avenue, patient care grew to encompass outpatient services as well as new specialties such as pediatrics, eye and ear, neurology, genitourinary, and dermatology. A tiny laboratory, large enough for only two people, was set up in a coat closet, and research took on increased importance.
In 1881, a training school for nurses was established, introducing professional nursing care to a facility previously served by untrained male and female attendants. The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing closed in 1971 after graduating 4,700 nurses.
As advances in research, diagnosis, and patient care occurred, more people sought treatment at hospitals, and Mount Sinai's leaders realized it was time, once again, to move and expand.
New Facilities on Fifth Avenue Offer Further Growth
In 1904, the new 456-bed, 10-pavilion Mount Sinai Hospital was dedicated on Fifth Avenue at 100th Street. The President of the Hospital, Isaac Wallach, described Mount Sinai as "this House of noble deeds" with a three-fold mission of "Benevolence, Science, Education." Over the years the Hospital has expanded rapidly both physically and in terms of service. Numerous departments and laboratories have arisen, among them pathology, otology — the treatment of ear diseases — rehabilitation medicine, microbiology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and social work services. The latter is supported by the Auxiliary Board, which was formed in 1916 to provide financial support and labor resources to social service-related activities at the Hospital. The Auxiliary today works diligently to support vital Hospital and community outreach projects.
Mount Sinai Active in Both World Wars
The Mount Sinai Hospital sent medical units to both World Wars. Of the 24 physicians and 65 nurses serving in World War I with Base Hospital No. 3 of the U.S. Army Medical Corps in France, the majority of doctors and nurses were from Mount Sinai. The group finished the conversion of a 15th century monastery in Vauclaire, Dordogne into a 500-bed hospital that at one point housed 2,800 patients.
During World War II, nearly 900 Mount Sinai physicians, nurses, staff members and trustees saw wartime service. Mount Sinai's affiliated unit, the U.S. Army 3rd General Hospital, served in North Africa, Italy, and France. Nine people associated with Mount Sinai died while in service.
School of Medicine Opens in 1968
In the late 1950s, the Hospital began plans to establish its own medical school, an unusual move for a hospital. With its chartering in 1963, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, now called the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, became the first medical school to grow out of a non-university in more than 50 years. The fact that the Hospital was encouraged to found a school is a testament to its tradition of excellence in patient care as well as research.
Mount Sinai School of Medicine opened in 1968 in affiliation with The City University of New York. In building the medical school, trustees envisioned a new kind of medical institution — a university of health sciences. This new institution would encompass a medical school supported by a strong teaching hospital, with a graduate school of biologic sciences, a graduate school of physical sciences, and undergraduate programs for allied health workers.
The first class in the newly formed Mount Sinai School of Medicine consisted of 36 students, four of whom were women. There were also 23 students in a third year class and 19 students in the Graduate School of Biological Sciences. In 2007, the School began accepting 140 students in each first year class and there are now more than 300 graduate students at any point in time.
The Twenty-First Century
The opening years of the 21st century found The Mount Sinai Medical Center struggling financially, but by the end of the Hospital's 150th anniversary celebration in 2002/2003, steps had already been taken to chart a new course. In January 2003, Kenneth L. Davis, MD, Mount Sinai Class of 1973, was named Dean of the School of Medicine. On March 24th he was also named President and CEO of The Mount Sinai Medical Center. Four years later the two offices were split and Dennis S. Charney, MD became Dean. In 2010 the School reached a milestone when the Middle States Commission granted Mount Sinai initial accreditation to be a free-standing entity that would grant its own degrees – something the founders of the School had envisioned 50 years previously. In 2012 the name of the School was changed to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, to honor the lifetime generosity of Trustee Carl Icahn to Mount Sinai. That same year Mount Sinai celebrated the opening of a new clinical and research facility, the Leon and Norma Hess Center for Science and Medicine.
Mount Sinai continued its tradition of progressive evolution in 2013 by merging with the Continuum Health Partners, a group of respected hospitals and ambulatory practices spread across New York City. This created the Mount Sinai Health System, an integrated health system of seven member hospital campuses affiliated with a single medical school, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
More than 160 years after its founding, Mount Sinai continues to grow and lead, fulfilling its commitment to high-quality patient care and teaching conducted in an atmosphere of social concern and scholarly inquiry into the nature, causation, prevention and therapy of human disease.

Quinoa Protein Bread (vegan)
16 comments:
This bread looks fantastic! I hope to try it at some point. Thank you for sharing the recipe.ReplyDelete
- Anna-MarieNovember 22, 2010 at 8:00 AM
This is - hands down - the best GF bread I have made and tasted yet. In fact, forget the GF part .... the whole house is eating it! Other breads are too light and not satisfying - but not this one! Great big fat grin on my face. Thanks a ton!!ReplyDelete
Anna- Marie,ReplyDelete
My husband said the same thing about this bread. It is very yummy and hearty isn't..I think the quinoa makes it moist and hearty. Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed!
Great use of leftover quinoa! Looks so hearty and delicious.ReplyDelete

Hi Stephanie,ReplyDelete
Can I substitute Arrowroot powder for the xanthan gum? I can't wait to try this recipe!
Hey- arrowroot powder could work as a sub.... or gur gum too. Let me know how it turns out! :)ReplyDelete
- cosmicbubblesMarch 15, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Uh oh...I'm in the middle of making the bread & don't know how much arrowroot to sub for the xanthan gum & can't find anything on the web. Any suggestions or can I just use 1 egg?ReplyDelete
- cosmicbubblesMarch 16, 2011 at 1:43 AM
I used 1/2 tsp. arrowroot powder & it came out fine. However, it can use some moisture - maybe some applesauce?ReplyDelete
I would sub the same for xanthan for arrowroot if you were going to use that instead. Also, if yours was a bit dry, then I would add 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup of applesauce. That would be fine if you want it more moist. Thanks for commenting. :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 18, 2012 at 10:26 AM
I really want to try this bread but can't have agave nectar. Are there any good substitutions? Like maybe maple syrup or brown rice syrup? Do you know which one might be better? I'm thinking the brown rice syrup because it's thicker, but is agave nectar thick?ReplyDeleteReplies
Anon- I would sub maple syrup over brown rice syrup because it is more like agave nectar. I changed the recipe to reflect that change! Thanks for the comment!Delete
- AnonymousMay 19, 2012 at 10:23 PM
Is it possible to leave out the agave nectar in the recipe? I can't have agave nectar. Also can I use lemon juice in place of the apple cider vinegar?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, you can leave out the agave nectar, or use applesauce or apple butter instead for moisture. And, yes you can use lemon juice instead... I changed the recipe to reflect that. Thanks!Delete
- AnonymousJuly 26, 2012 at 7:48 PM
Hi, can i use quinoa flour??ReplyDelete
You can use quinoa flour in place of the almond flour or meal. But you will still need to add the cooked quinoa for the texture and chewy-ness of the bread. Hope you enjoy and that helps!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 21, 2013 at 2:21 PM
Hi, This was delicious but fell apart into crumbles. I did not use the xanthan gum could this be why? Also, I am in the Denver area, high altitude. Thank you!ReplyDelete

Duane Gordon (firstname.lastname@example.com), 34, lives in Middletown, Ohio, located halfway between Cincinnati and Dayton.
He is currently in his second year as Executive Director and CEO of the Middletown Community Foundation, a non-profit foundation serving the city and its surrounding communities. After his first year at the helm of the organization, it recevied the Entrepreneurial Community Spirit Award from the Chamber of Commerce Serving Middletown, Monroe and Trenton as well as the Friend of the Agency Award from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butler County.
He is a member of Middletown Rotary Club and Middletown Kiwanis Club and is secretary of his neighborhood association -- Preservation, Restoration and Improvement of South Main (PRISM). He is a performer with the Middletown Civic Chorus and Middletown Symphony Chorale and hosts a bi-weekly television program, Foundation Matters, on the local nonprofit television station, TV Middletown.
Previously, he served as for three years as Director of Finance and Technology for the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson in his hometown of Jackson, Miss., preceded by five years as that Foundation's Communications and Programs Director.
He is a former singer with the Mississippi Chorus, having also served on its Board of Directors and as the organization's Treasurer. He is also a former member of the Board of Directors for the Mississippi Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and held one term as that organization's Vice President of the Board and two terms as Communications Officer.
In 2003, he was named a Hull Fellow by the Southeastern Council of Foundations to participate in the Hull Leadership Program, which helps young leaders of nonprofit foundations across the South develop a deeper understanding of the roots of philanthropy, gain new perspectives on issues facing charities, discover insights in personal leadership and form new relationships with peers in the field.
Before joining the Foundation, he worked as a staff reporter and News Editor for four years at the Madison County Journal, the weekly newspaper for the northern suburbs of Jackson and one of the most highly awarded newspapers in the state (also the first newspaper in Mississippi to post an online version). For three of his four years there, the Journal was selected by the Mississippi Press Association as the recipient of first place in the General Excellence Award for its circulation division, an honor roughly equivalent to "Newspaper of the Year" (second place General Excellence for his fourth year). Prior to the Journal, he was a news reporter and features editor at The Reflector.
Duane has received 21 individual Mississippi Press Association awards for news, features, photography, editorials and Freedom of Information efforts in addition to being largely responsible for many additional awards given in the name of the newspapers where he has worked.
Born the first of four children in a family in Jackson, Duane left high school a year early to enroll at Mississippi State University on academic scholarship. There, he studied journalism, theatre and music, being graduated with honors and receiving a bachelor's degree in journalism. At MSU, he served as features editor of the school newspaper and was a member of both the choir and madrigal singers. He was elected to several leadership positions, including vice-president of the University Honors Council and president of GLBF, presented papers at both the national and regional collegiate honors conferences and was published in three national publications. He was also very involved in theatre, performing lead and supporting roles in numerous shows, winning Best Actor from University Theatre and receiving two Irene Ryan Excellence in Acting nominations (plus a third with three other actors for ensemble performance - scene).
He became a Dolly Parton fan, his parents said, when he first saw her syndicated television show around the age of six months and was transfixed by her performance. Singing along with her albums and following the lyrics printed on the inside cover of Best of Dolly Parton, he taught himself to read at the age of 3. His first concert was the most recent time Dolly played Jackson, Miss., in 1978, when the 4-year-old Duane was carried up to the foot of the stage to hand his idol a rose. Since then, his love for Dolly has grown. His collection now encompasses virtually all of her career recordings on album, cassette, CD and video ever released commercially (plus several bootleg recordings). He has her entire solo, duet and trio recordings from 1962-1987 on the original vinyl, plus many additional releases on other formats plus magazines, posters, books and other collectibles. He even has a butterfly tatoo on his ankle in honor of Dolly, since the butterfly has been her symbol for more than three decades.
Sharing his home are two cats: Charlotte and Marie; his darling 3-year-old beagle mix, Gabrielle; and one other human, Matthew.

BERLIN -- The Podewil
Center for Contemporary Arts is known as the kind of hot spot that
encourages emerging artists to develop their individual signatures.
The 8th annual Korperstimmen (Body Voices) Festival is a cooperative
event with Tanzwerkstatt Berlin, the resident dance production organization
that produces contemporary dance that crosses over genres to work
in tandem with other media. The curators of Korperstimmen, Andre
Theriault and Ulrike Becker, are aiming to bring young companies
to the Podewil audience, a tough one after years of rigorous programs
at the unique space.
All this innovation
leads one to expect some mind-blowing work. Certainly, that was
what was going through my mind as I made my way each night to mid-town
last week. While moments of enlightened artistry surfaced throughout,
I found audience response to be tepid overall, indicating that the
curators might need to dig deeper and more widely for talent to
please the space's demanding public.
Akram Khan, from London,
opened. Khan is a sumptuous mover and performer whose productions
integrate Kathak with contemporary dance ideas, and he succeeded
in seducing the audience, partnering his dances with excellent musicianship
and stunning lighting designs by Aideen Malone. There was one sound,
though, that at first I could not identify, but then it became clear.
It was the collective gritting of teeth, (not just my own) that
occurred as Khan introduced each piece, four total, with, "The beauty
of this work is...." This preceded a lecture-demonstration of the
rhythmic intricacies and spiritual concerns of the various choreographers
(not him), although the notes were clearly written in the program.
Khan is passionate about bringing cultures and communities together,
a respectable mission, but dance, just please dance, and let us
find the beauty within.
"Sans," Martine Pisani's
contribution, gave us a trio of performers exploring slapstick and
post-modern movement on an exposed stage with no set and no music.
Unfortunately, the exercise was also delivered seemingly without
craft as Theo Kooijman, Laurent Pichaud and Olivier Schram appeared
as three very awkward Adams, cast out nakedly by the choreographer,
forced to wear their self-consciousness sheepishly. They sang, they
buffooned, and they lost us in the process. Voices from my mentors
screeched through my brain -- a clown teacher warning that "these
improv exercises do not a performance make," another instructor
reminding me that "good recorded music is better than bad live accompaniment."
Finally, when Pisani finished tinkering with elementary assignments
onstage and it felt we are nearing the end, she had the group do
it again (the WHOLE thing), but twice as fast. I don't think that
the curators of Body Voices intended the most influential text to
be the voice-over in my head, but the thoughts provoked by Pisani's
work almost had me uttering audibly and loudly and they weren't
Two Fish is the Berlin-based
duo of writer/actor Martin Clausen and choreographer Angela Schubot,
and currently is one of the companies in residence. Its new "Frau
Malchert se dechaine" displays the disappointments of personal communication
and features Clausen in performance with Frank Halfar and Peter
Trabner. This tightly wound, verbose work unravels itself through
a series of very funny passages written by Clausen through which
the performers reveal situations where they were required to come
to grips with their associations with others. They struggle with
their perceptions and individual schemes and try to find the correct
ways to handle discrepencies between people. They discuss a hopeful
letter that was carefully written and sent off, only to be returned
with a hastily scrawled admonishment of its stupidity. A certain
energy is churned up between the trio with the text, and then it
is turned on the audience -- are we, as viewers, being asked to
be complicit in these scenarios? It is hard to tell. Later Clausen
begins a story about his grandfather, chokes and cannot go on. Traber,
who incessantly barrages his comrades with antagonizing questions,
now must reroute his energy to support, cajole and encourage Clausen
to continue. Halfar does not intercede -- we see he has decided
that his battles are now elsewhere. Clausen abandons the scene,
ending the performance.
The abrupt end, as well
as some very awkward transitions that even the ultra-naturalistic
vibe can't cover up, indicate the group has a bit more work ahead
of it. However, Two Fish provokes through a clever play of text
and movement; when others change their minds, what tactics and ammunition
do we apply to deal with them, and thus, the mutations of our own
selves? Schubot, it should be noted, was sidelined by knee-surgery
during this creation so the choreography is simplistic, yet I found
a section of rough but dynamically arresting partnering to be honest
and watchable.
Certainly the highlight
of the festival was Kinkaleri, a collective performance group from
Florence whose name, according to the program, comes from "the intrinsic
beauty of the closeness of the letters making it up and the consequent
phonetic result" as well as the group's propensity for incorporating
knick-knacks of all kinds into the fabric of their performances.
Indeed, this is messy theater, big on stuff and low on movement
invention but with a sharp wit and intelligent pacing. In its newest
work, "Otto," Luca Camilletti, Marco Mazzoni, Christina Rizzo and
Matteo Bambi are the performers, while Massimo Conti and Gina Monaco
are at the controls. For all the potentially infuriating moments
I witnessed (including a bag of flour that exploded at eardrum puncturing
decibels), at the end I felt satisfied that I had been expertly
ferried across a deep and treacherous void by strong performances
and surprises that made me grin in spite of myself.
Program notes say that
"Otto" is a vacuum, and, indeed, through stillness and silence,
we are introduced to a world populated by narcoleptics, whose obsessions,
fetishes and vulnerabilities are revealed when they crash and release
from clutched hands small, precious items. These bits and pieces
are tender survivors in a world gone asleep; the ribbon of toothpaste,
shot from a tube upon falling; a red pair of gloves; a wind-up frog;
a small stuffed rooster and a roll of paper-towels. Luca Camilletti
is the heaviest sleeper here, most prone to depart downwards without
warning, but the others soon catch the disease. Marco Mazzoni gingerly
lays down a welcoming picnic blanket, promptly crashes and loses
his toupee. The performers lay motionless, while the tiny tragedies
reverberate through the space and things outlive people.
Cristina Rizzo is honestly
brutal throughout. We watch her wriggling to the sounds of pop singers
heard through headphones while her complacent gaze distances us.
She opens a door to her isolation by placing her headphones on a
microphone stand so we are suddenly blasted with sound. Each time
she enters the space, I am fascinated by the intensity of her apathy,
which makes me care more what happens to her. I appreciate her simple,
miniature dances, and the way she so carefully draws out the lines
of her body in diagonal patterns. I wonder what embarrassing memory
causes her to freeze suddenly as she eats honey out of a jar --
all I know is she is caught in the anxiety of some bad decision.
Most of all, I want her to be safe when she takes off across the
debris-strewn stage in a journey of pique turns. But she is doomed,
and when a wicked fall overtakes her, her glance towards us says,
"This, too, was over before it all began."
The chaos begins to
have a domino effect as Matteo Bambi, whose face we never see because
he is brought out slung over Mazzoni's back, is dropped harshly
to the floor behind the large stereo speakers. Anxious audience
members check on him from time to time, leaning forward -- but nothing.
He will never move again. Rizzo documents the exhibits of failure
and loss by placing small, alphabetized placards next to each calamity.
The motionless Bambi gets no placard. After Camilletti undergoes
a ridiculous search for a certain cookie in a brand new bag, we
anticipate his catastrophes will worsen until at the end, we see
him face down in a birthday cake, eating it from the inside out.
But this is not heavy
work, as it does not drag us down in the despair. It is pleasurably
weird, and takes a quiet, sideways look at life's basic evolutionary
processes -- death (fall) and regeneration (recovery). Kinkaleri
makes theater that will make you, as an audience member, work hard.
The audience must settle in and accept its role of silent observer,
for it is necessary to be very quiet in the theater, so as not to
miss any sound or music (sometimes only coming from a performer's
headphones). You will wait a long time for something to occur. To
fully appreciate this work, you may have to do as I and several
others did after the performance: remain and gaze at the destroyed
stage for clues AND read the programs (two of them) a few more times.
That being said, I think the fact that we all CARED enough to stay
and do this speaks for itself. Be sure to find a way to witness
Kinkaleri if it passes your way.
(Editor's Note: On May 15,
16, and 17, "Two Fish" brings its earlier work, "Gabriel-Max-Str.
2, 1st floor left" to the Rencontres
Choregraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis, where Kinkaleri
also performed last month. For more information on Podewill, please

Rwanda : FULSOME CLIPPERS PRAISE
Heat coach Eric Spoelstra was fulsome in his praise for the Clippers after his own team slipped to 6-3 for the season.
"We view them as legitimate contenders for the title," he said. "We know and respect what these guys are about. They played a good game and beat us fair and square."
In a high-octane start, James and Griffin treated the crowd to a sizzling display of driving layups, dunks and jump shots before a late burst of scoring by Crawford put the Clippers ahead 25-24 after a tightly contested first quarter.
There were seven lead changes in the second period but a trio of three-pointers by backup forward Rashard Lewis helped the Heat take a narrow 54-52 advantage into halftime.
Roared on by the home crowd, the Clippers upped the tempo and forward Caron Butler sank a three-pointer midway through the third quarter to give his team a welcome 67-60 lead.
Though the Heat briefly closed the gap to one, five-time All-Star Paul lifted Los Angeles spirits with back-to-back three-pointers to put them ahead 80-72 as loud chants of 'CP3, CP3′ echoed around the Staples Center.
Leading 85-74 going into the fourth quarter, the Clippers padded that advantage to 93-76 after backup guard Eric Bledsoe followed a pair of layups with two free throws.
A Crawford jump shot gave Los Angeles their biggest lead of the night at 104-84 and Miami were unable to close the gap, despite a furious late rally.
"It's a team effort every night," speaking to Reuters Paul said. "Everybody is working hard and playing together. I know they (the Heat) ended with 100 (points) but our defence in the second half is what got us the win."

CARY, N.C. (AP) — With Charles Schwab Cup leader Tom Lehman out of the field at this weekend's SAS Championship, Bernhard Langer says he needs to play aggressively.
Not just because Lehman is out.
Langer is 246 points behind Lehman in the season-long race for the cup and its $1 million payout. And because he is second in the standings, the 55-year-old Langer said Thursday he needs to be aggressive every week.
Langer has one win and 13 top-10 finishes but remains behind the 53-year-old Lehman, who is expected to return next week in a tournament across the state in Hickory.
Reigning SAS champion Kenny Perry returns after taking four weeks off. His son was recently married and his daughter is expecting his second grandchild.
The SAS Championship begins Friday at Prestonwood Country Club.

To celebrate "Women's Awareness Month" I will be profiling as many of the female perfomers that I can at The Second City. Our great city needs to appreciate these funny and intelligent female comedians. Keep an eye out for a number of pieces on our faves at Second City.
Karla L. Beard, currently staring in "Rush Limbaugh! The Musical," exemplifies the broad range of performers that work at Second City – she works hard, she has abundant natural talent and had a little luck along the way. She also is a rarity at Second City – a relative outsider who ended up on the E.T.C. stage.
Beard began her theatrical life as a child when she studied ballet, did community theatre plays along with bands and choirs. A defining moment in Beard's theatrical career was while studying at Weslyan she couldn't get cast in any school shows. Someone outside the theatre department recommended that she look outside the school for chances to perform. Ironically, Beard was cast in "Joe Turner's Come and Come" at ISU.
Beard didn't start in the training center, tour or understudy at Second City in her salad days like most performers at Second City. She spent almost 11 years in musical theatre after working in some smaller non-equity productions. Becoming an Equity member and receiving benefits was a goal for Beard. (Many of us can empathize with the need for benefits and healthcare today.)
A formative experience was her work in "Miss Saigon" at the Marriott Lincolnshire. The cast was fun, supportive, gave compliments and meaningful constructive criticism. "Everyone in their life should have a 'Miss Saigon' experience," Beard believes.
Beard toured with "Mamma Mia", among other shows, which was also a great experience. Beard's show stopping number in "Rush Limbaugh" shows off her amazing voice and range. She has the difficult task of switching back and forth as narrator and character in the show. The seamless transitions are a credit to her acting skills honed after all the years of musical theatre.
Life recently took priority for Beard in the best way; she had her son almost two years ago. Now a working mother, she scheduled a meeting with her agent to discuss her career path. Soon after the meeting Second City called and asked her to audition for "Rush Limbaugh," she took the audition and was called the same day and offered the part. Beard's job as the Early Childhood music teacher at the Catherine Cook School was flexible and encouraged her to perform in the show. Second City was flexible with rehearsal times as well. All this lead Beard to think, "what do I have to lose?"
The rehersal schedule for the revue was quick; there was one week of rehearsals then the show was up on its feet a week and a day later. Beard believes that those from the improv world involved in the revue "really value what musical people have to add" to the show.
For Beard, the experience of performing at Second City and being part of a world premier musical has been an "awesome" experience. Beard explains it is "exciting to be a part of something new…part of something different." Audiences for the show are growing steadily, so cast and crew are pleased.
Those not so pleased are Limbaugh fans, including one who attended the show just to heckle the actors. One reviewer, I won't name her here, used a quote from Hitler in her review of this show. (Ironic much?) Some reviews have been mediocre to bad and the cast has faced up to these reviews. The right wing and Limbaugh are, admittedly, easy targets these days – but this show has definitely hit a nerve. Beard's role and the show have definitely gotten under the skin of right wingers.
Beard thinks it is "awesome that people have strong opinions disliking the show." Her personality is jovial and optimistic, so her reaction is not too surprising. She is proud that they have produced a show that is generating such strong emotions and reactions. She enjoys being on the cutting edge and doing things that are different. According to Beard, the cast is tight and they let each other know "they have your back." They are a true ensemble.
Beard has a great attitude and respects that while the show definitely has a strong point of view, people are free to criticize and write negative things about the show; although sometimes she doesn't understand the zealousness. She has dealt with the hecklers with panache and humor. "In a way," she states, "I can't believe people would pay to park and pay for tickets just to come down and heckles us." I don't know why that would be either – ask a "ditto head" I guess.
So what is next, besides dealing with the terrible two's, for this exceptionally talented triple threat? Beard would love another Second City opportunity; she'd love to improvise and write shows. As she summarizes, "it is so cool!"
While she doesn't have the "typical" Second City training she is up for anything after this experience. "I feel very respected and valued – I couldn't ask for anything more."
I'd like to see more of Beard and musical comedy revues; it definitely mixes up the usual Second City experience. As Beard would happily say, "what do you have to lose?"
Have fun and, as always, don't forget to tip your waiters – generously.
Tickets for Rush Limbaugh! The Musical are $25.00 and can be reserved by phone at 312.337.3992 or at www.secondcity.com. Premium seats are available, inquire at the box office.

Maurice Wilson was the Jamaican National Team Head Coach at the 2012 Olympic Games, and now he shows you a great drill for working on explosive power during the acceleration phase of the sprints. Athletes will perform an under-hand squat toss with a medicine ball. This will focus on triple extension of the hips, knees, and ankles which is key in explosive power.
Two athletes preform this drill. Both times the film is shown in regular speed and slow-motion so that you can see the breakdown of the drill. Coach Wilson gives cues on what to look for with hip placement of the athletes. This is a great drill to isolate and teach explosive power for starting out of the blocks and the acceleration phase. This drill can be done all year and in any gym or track complex.
