Saturday, July 21st!!!! Sammy DeLeon y Su Orchestra
Sammy DeLeon was named the "hottest and most innovative young timbalero in America", by the Latin Jazz greatest TITO PUENTE. He was selected as an special invitee and performer to the 2005 Los Angeles Salsa Congress. His solos are full of energy and passion. This outstanding band has been awarded several times as the best Salsa and Latin Jazz band by Scene Magazine and Toledo's Bravo magazine. It consists of a vibrant rhythm section with Lorain's best Elmer Arrocho on bass and Cleveland's well-known Jackie Warren. Its horn section is led by Ohio's premier trumpet player Joe Miller, Steve Zambori on baritone and Keegan Woods on trombone. Gilberto Morales, the main vocalist is considered one of the top in N.Y. city. The percussion section is considered to be the best in the tri-state area with Nelson Orta on bongos, Manny Santana on congas and of course Sammy on timbales. Evidence of the band's steadily rising popularity is a record number of concert and club bookings and an increasing amount of loyal followers.
Rhinos Live, located at 11473 Chester Rd. in Cincinnati/Sharonville, Ohio 45246, is Cincinnati's BIGGEST and BEST live entertainment venue. While most venues are single story, Rhinos Live is an open two story design, ensuring there is no bad seat in the house. Lets not forget why Rhinos Live came to be... the music... How does a sound system that rivals some of the nations largest venues sound, packed into an acoustically sound building? It's sounds amazing, like nothing you've heard before!
And did we mention a HUGE dance floor?

Yep, I went and did it. For yet another time, this past weekend I made the family pile in the car and head to Sears for our own Awkward Family holiday photo. There I was with the oldest kids in the store. There they were trying hard to pretend they didn't know me or the DH. Honestly, there the DH was, trying hard to pretend he didn't know me either. What up with that?
But I'm happy to say, mission accomplished and I have now gotten a photo for every year with my twins all through high school!
Next year they will be going to college and we may start skipping some years and I may be ok with that. I May. We will see, but I'm thrilled to have made it through this year and I didn't even pull out the vinyl to get it done.

Feb. 9, 2014
SAN MARCOS, Texas— The Southern Illinois softball team dropped two games Sunday afternoon at the Century Link Classic.
Southern fell to Ball State in the morning before dropping its contest with host Texas State.
SIU 4, Ball State 5
Game One Box Score
SIU's (2-1) first runs of the game came in the third inning. Sophomore Kelsey Gonzalez led off the inning with a single. Michelle Glenn and Shaye Harre followed Gonzalez, reaching base on a walk. Jayna Spivey reached first base and drove in two runs courtesy of a Ball State error to give Southern a 2-0 lead.
The Cardinals (3-0) tied the game up in the same inning converting one hit and two walks into two runs.
Sophomore pinch hitter Caylee Cook led off in the fourth inning, recording her first career homerun to put the Salukis up 3-2. Cook stayed hot leading off the sixth inning with a standup double. Freshman Merri Anne Patterson pinch ran for Cook and scored with the help of a walk from Michelle Glenn and a passed ball by BSU.
Ball State didn't stay quiet, answering the run with a lead off homerun followed by a double off the right field wall. With the late-game surge by the Cardinals, Taylor Orsburn entered to relieve Bertelsen in the circle. BSU continued its push forcing a Saluki error to tie the game up at four after six innings.
SIU 0, Texas State 9
Game 2 Box Score
Texas State (2-1) wasted no time getting on the board, bringing in two runs and striking out the first three Saluki batters to control the first inning.
A potent Bobcast offense and three Saluki errors in the third inning plagued SIU (2-2), as Texas State was able to score seven runs on four hits to jump out to a convincing 9-0 lead.
Southern Illinois couldn't find its offensive rhythm against Texas State ace Kaylee Garner who gave up just one hit and struck out eight batters to shut out the Salukis.
SIU will travel to Jacksonville, Fla. next weekend, Feb. 14-16, for the North Florida Invitational.

CYBERSPACE—Pornstar/gamer Alana Evans has announced the 1st Annual XXX Gamer Tournament, to take place in April.
Everyone knows that the adult film business can be cutthroat and competitive. When award season rolls around every adult film star puts on her game face and goes for the jugular... uh, gold, but perhaps even more competitive then the January awards shows is the rivalry between adult gamers.
"Porn star gamers have been getting a lot more attention lately,' said Evans. "PwnedByGirls.com traffic has increased by leaps and bounds over the past year as well as our fan base because we're not just a pretty face anymore. We are out there, playing the same games and competing with the boys. Nothing is sexier than a porn star with her shirt off and controller in her hand, spanking you in a game of Call Of Duty."
Evans has teamed up with fellow gamer/porn star Jessie Rogers to host the 1st XXX Gaming Tournament in the history of the adult business. Already signed up for the event are other adult gamers, including Penny Lane and her legion of nerds, Monique Symone, Bellatrix Bliss and others.
"This is an open opportunity for sexy gamers to come together, have fun, and prove that any girl can be a gamer," Evans added. "There will be cash and prizes awarded. We want to encourage and invite other porn stars and cam girls who game to join us. The entire evening will be live streamed, and we encourage our fans and friends to join us in multiplayer action. We will also be offering an area of the tournament where young ladies who are not in California can join the stream and the gameplay from their homes as well."
"A lot of girls claim to the be the best XXX gamer out there, and this will give them the chance to put their controller where their mouth is," she concluded.
Games included in the Tournament so far include Titanfall, League of Legends, Injustice, Call of Duty Ghosts, Just Dance 2014 and Madden 25.
The event will be held at a private location. Girls interested in joining the tournament can contact Alana Evans at firstname.lastname@example.com.

There are so many roles that the women of today must play — from the role in their personal lives to the one in their professional lives. It is not easy to handle the many responsibilities that are often being unfairly burdened to women, which is why it is very important to keep their body and mind in tip top condition. Maintaining women's health and their well-being require them to choose and lead a smarter and healthier lifestyle. These are some simple tips on women's health that can help avoid any confusion regarding what things they should and should not do – if they want to remain healthy.
But first – here are some words of cautions. Because a woman's body is different from man – there are some illnesses that more likely to occur in women than in the male counterparts. For example, women's health is more likely to be affected by osteoporosis and heart diseases, unlike in men's where they are more prone to kidney stones and prostate cancer. Therefore, the health tips you read about in the magazine may not always suit you, unless they were written specifically with women's health in mind.
Eat healthy
Choosing the right diet in your life is essential to remain healthy. The first tip on women's health is to increase your intake of foods that contain vitamins, minerals and other beneficial ingredients. It is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as cereals and grains. When it comes to choosing the best menu for the day, you need to make sure that you eat a balanced diet. This means the menu should contain the proper amount of proteins, carbohydrates, and fibers. As for foods that you should avoid, try not to have too much of salt, sugar and fat; so processed foods are definitely out of the list.
Drink enough water each day
The second women's health tip is to drink plenty enough of water every day. The recommended amount is 6-8 glasses of water daily. The reason behind this is that drinking enough water helps you hydrated. Not only will it help your digestive system to work better, it can also remove any unwanted toxins from the body. By drinking enough water every day, it will help keep your skin healthy as well as it keeps it from being too dry. This women's health tip may seem simple, but you'd be surprise to learn that not many women are aware of this fact.
Do regular exercises
The next tip on the subject of women's health is to exercise regularly. By being physically active, you can ward off potentially life-threatening diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases. It is also a great way to reduce the possibility of suffering from back pain and osteoporosis – two diseases commonly found in women. Exercise is an important part of women's health, because by simply doing an exercise for at least half an hour every day, it will help improve your life expectancy. Some popular exercises that you can do include running, walking, swimming, dancing, and cycling. Yoga is also known to help improve women's health.
Stress management
Being the more sensitive being of the two, women are known to suffer from depression and stress more. It is important for women to understand that the mental aspect of women's health is just as important as the physical aspect. Despite your hectic life, try to take things slow once in a while by practicing some relaxation techniques or meditations.
Regular check-ups are key to good women's Health
The most important tip on women's health is to get a health examination regularly. These check-ups will make sure that you know the real condition of your body. Beside the general one, recommended check-ups that you should do also include blood pressure check, diabetes test, and mammography.

A very dedicated prankster has created several websites claiming that filthy rich Houston megachurch pastor Joel Osteen has quit the business of christianity due to a "lack of faith". The message may not really be from Joel, but it's still a good one. On the website, http://www.joelostenministries.com/, the prankster writes:
I believe now that the Bible is a fallible, flawed, highly inconsistent history book that has been altered hundreds of times. There is zero evidence the Bible is the holy word of God. In fact, there is zero evidence "God" even exists.
No God worth believing in is going to send you to Hell for not believing in him. Not even the worst sinner and scum of the Earth deserves eternal torment in Hell. In fact, God is more likely to congratulate you upon entering Heaven for doubting, questioning and not believing the religionists and their flimsy facts, demands of blind faith and lack of hard evidence.
My only problem is that it describes the bible as a history book. The bible is not a history book, though it is historical without a doubt. It has been used for hundreds of years to justify atrocity after atrocity.
There are clues on the website about who the prankster is. He or she is probably an atheist, though he or she claims that Joel is donating a chunk of his fortune to the Salvation Army, a church organization well known for its homophobic practices. Near the bottom of the page, there are a few very critical things written about the Monsanto Corporation and a pledge to donate to the Organic Consumers Association. I doubt that the prankster is directly involved with the organization, but he or she seems to support them.
The prankster has even set up a fake twitter account, a video on youtube, and a fake CNN story for the hoax. He or she has a lot of people fooled, and a lot of it is probably wishful thinking. Just like there are many christians whose faith depends on the faith of those around them, there are atheists who can't stand that some people believe, and they take things like this as a confirmation of their disbelief. It's natural for a person just leaving a religion to be angry and unsure and take delight in stories like this. It's easy for some people to believe that a man like Joel Osteen would give up his faith, assuming he really has any, and maybe take some other believers with him to the atheist side.
But that's not likely to happen. Joel Osteen has built an empire on pretending that Jesus died for our sins, and he's not about to give it up now whether he's a sincere believer or not. He's a rich guy, and this is his business. This hoax was just an elaborate and ingenious April Fool's Day prank.

Ex-girlfriend traveling out of the country.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 09:22 AM
Let me start with explaining the situation.
I used to live with "Jane" for a few years and we had a baby together. Even though we never got married, my name appears as the father of the baby in the birth certificate.
My ex has been avoiding my calls and I've barely seen my child after we separated (about 4 months ago). After I get some money I will start a lawsuit in order to put myself through child support and to set a visitation schedule.
Now this is where my question comes; I found out that my ex is traveling out of the country at the end of February, she has not told me anything about it but I can say that the information is 100% accurate. I know that she cannot take away my child without my permission so most likely she will leave the baby with someone else.
Is there anything I can do in order to keep the baby with me while she is gone?
Could this be considered as if she was abandoning the baby?
Can I get with the cops since the child would not be staying with any or the parents?
If it helps any, my ex would be out of the country for at least 2 weeks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Posted 07 February 2013 - 12:21 PM
Leaving a child temporarily in the care of a responsible adult (friend or relative) does not constitute abandonment.
The cops can only help you if there's reason to believe a crime has been committed. Based on the facts presented in your message, there is no crime and law enforcement officials should, and probably will, refuse to get involved.

I know that she cannot take away my child without my permission so most likely she will leave the baby with someone else.
What makes you think "she cannot take away [the] child without your permission? While I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that, it does not sound like you have any parental rights regarding the child at this time. Since the child was born out of wedlock, the mother has all parental rights until such time as paternity is established and a court enters an order allocating rights between mother and father. That your name appears on the birth certificate is not enough.
Is there anything I can do in order to keep the baby with me while she is gone?
You can look into a possible emergency petition to establish paternity and have a temporary custody order put in place.
Could this be considered as if she was abandoning the baby?
I don't really understand this question. You're free to "consider" it anything you like. However, there's nothing legally wrongful with a parent taking a trip and leaving her child in the care of a competent adult.
Let me start with explaining the situation.
Can I get with the cops since the child would not be staying with any or the parents?
"Get with the cops"? There's nothing even remotely criminal about anything you described.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 08:05 AM
Based on your answers I now understand that until I get with the court I don't have any rights.
At this time my only option is to get a loan and put the money in the hands of a good attorney so that this matter can finally be solved.
Thank you guys for all the answers.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 11:00 AM
I believe I was misinformed then. I thought that even if the child was born out of wedlock, the mother would still need the father's permission in order to apply for a passport and to take the baby out of the country.
That's a good point (hence the reason I phrased it as a question), and it does appear that, despite the state law parental rights issue that both Ted and I covered, you are correct that she will not be able to get a passport without your consent if you are identified on the birth certificate. See http://travel.state....html#step7minor.
Nevertheless, the sooner you get a custody/visitation/support order in place, the better.

PURPOSE: The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling system is involved in breast cancer initiation and progression. The prognostic relevance of tumor expression patterns of IGFI-related proteins remains poorly understood. This study associates the expression of selected IGF proteins with breast tumor and patient characteristics. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: IGFI, IGFI receptor, IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)2, and IGFBP3 expression was measured in 855 primary breast carcinomas by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays. We investigated the association of tumor and nodal stage, grade, hormone receptor status, HER2 gene amplification, menopausal status, body mass index, and survival with IGF protein expression. RESULTS: In contrast to IGFI, the expression of IGFI receptor, IGFBP2, and IGFBP3 was associated with estrogen receptor status. In addition, IGFBP3 was positively correlated with body mass index and premenopausal status. Importantly, IGFBP2 was an independent and positive predictor of overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.48; 95% confidence interval, 0.24-0.95; P = 0.04). There was a weak suggestion for IGFBP2 and overweight to modify each other's effect on survival. CONCLUSIONS: According to these results, which need confirmation in larger patient series, the prognostic relevance of IGFBP2 and IGFBP3 protein expressions in breast cancer may depend on the hormonal context and body weight.

A CNN commentator used Egypt as an instance where citizens chose "sovereign identity over religious ideology." Governments that are aligned with democratic freedom and individual liberty cannot accept religious ideology driving them. In fact, freedom of belief in the pluralistic free world means freedom of religion and freedom from it. Religions that promote discrimination on any basis violate the U.S. Constitutional rights and principles, for instance.
Through due process that is assured by the American political system, and over a period of 226 years, citizens of all kinds including women and minorities, gays and lesbians and just about everyone else have made their cases and won in the Court of Law. It took too long to interpret to define and assess equality, but it has happened, eventually.
Enforcing it is another matter that requires continuous vigilance and attention.
President Obama is off in Cardiff, Wales meeting with other world leaders to address the Ukraine and Russia situation. Therein, freedom is once again at stake as is international law that ensures and protects national sovereignty. Russia has violated national sovereignty and free world leaders must determine how penalize them and prevent them from doing more harm.
In the instances of the Middle East, there are a host of governments that are based on religious ideology and that foundation is direct conflict with the free world. The contradictions have become most apparent when citizens in the region seek greater freedom and alignment with the free world.
Aside from Egypt, there are no governments in the Middle East that are unencumbered by the legacy of Islam that imposes intolerance and rules that undermine equality. These governments are harsh in levying Islamic laws that are incompatible with the free world.
In addressing the threat from Islamic State terrorists Middle East nations must now choose to confront extremism. Thye must moderate their beliefs to become more aligned with the free world, or to succumb to envelopment into a hostile caliphate that will surely receive the wrath of war in response to its incompatible aggression.
The scope and scale of change needed in the Middle East are enormous, and yet the tipping point is breached. Governments are falling, and the free world must be ready to support citizens who want to get on with their living.
"The prospect of a failed state torn apart by a sectarian civil war along its border, another one in Syria and an al-Qaeda "state" rising up from the ashes of these two civil wars must be a disconcerting one for Saudi Arabia. While both Iraq and Syria have publicly blamed the carnage in their countries on the Saudis for what they maintain is Saudi support of "terrorists," including ISIS, the al-Qaeda affiliate itself has vowed to "conquer" Saudi Arabia after it has "vanquished" the regimes in Damascus and Baghdad. More than any of its neighbors, Saudi Arabia has the most to lose from the conflict in Iraq spiraling out of control. There are several reasons.
Saudi Arabia values stability more than anything. Its penchant for reactionary politics is most apparent in its unconditional support of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's new government in Egypt, which has reinstituted many of the policies of former President Hosni Mubarak, arguably the Saudis' most stalwart ally for over 30 years. And while the Saudis have supported the rebels' bid in Syria to topple President Bashar al-Assad's regime, this willingness to change the status quo is a function of the role Iran is playing in the conflict and because Saudi Arabia views itself as the leader of the Sunni Muslim world, and therefore has a moral obligation to help the beleaguered Sunni majority."

Easy Garam Masala recipe - an exotic Indian spice blend
What the heck is a Garam Masala recipe you ask? Chances are, if you cook regularly, you've come across recipes asking for garam masala in the ingredients list.
It's actually a very flavorful toasted spice blend used mostly in Indian cuisine but it's finding it's way into many other dishes as well. I recently used it in a Tuscan Beef Stew recipe, go figure!
We've simplified this version so you can make your own garam masala quickly (no toasting required) and also use standard spices you probably already have on hand.
This is a very aromatic spice blend and is a very good substitute for the real deal, just without the fuss.
Once you get a feel for the flavors you'll find a use for it with many of our BBQ Chicken recipes, Grilled Shrimp recipes and the occasional BBQ Pork recipe.
I suggest making enough for a small air-tight container as it stores very well for months without losing too much intensity.
Use sparingly in your dishes towards the end of the cooking to add garam masala's subtle flavors.

Worth It? A Social Network for Photos
Imagine a visual Twitter, one that allows you to capture photos of your everyday life, make them look even better and then share them on a network. That's what Instagram, an iPhone application for editing and sharing photos, allows you to do.
Instagram launched in October 2010 because two guys wanted to show others what they were doing in their lives. The first day about 25,000 users registered, and in about seven months it has garnered 3.75 million users across the globe.
"We wanted to share our lives through images on the go," Instagram Chief Executive and Co-Founder Kevin Systrom says. "It was a need that was unmet."
After downloading the free iPhone app, you create a user name and password. Then you can find your friends through social networks like Facebook or Twitter or just scroll through your address book. When you follow someone, their photos show up in your feed. You can also check out Instagram's "Suggested Users" feed – with folks like Chef Jamie Oliver, Rapper Snoop Dogg and people you've never heard of who take incredible photos.
While the app was "built on the premise of public photo sharing," Mr. Systrom says, you can opt to make yours private on the Settings page. This way, you can share your photos with a "targeted, select group of people," he adds.
When you're ready to take a photo, just press the middle button. The tilt shift feature in the lower left corner of the screen lets you put selective focus on specific parts of the photo. This is especially helpful with food photography, Mr. Systrom says.
Then choose one of 14 filters, which can make the image look more vintage, washed out or black and white, for instance. Mr. Systrom says Instagram tries to add one filter every month, and many don't make the cut. He estimates they've created about 40 so far.
"Our goal is to make you a better photographer," Mr. Systrom says. And who can say no to that?
I've been using Instagram constantly the past couple of weeks. I might be lounging in the park, walking near interesting architecture or just hanging out with friends. And with Instagram, I feel the need to pause, capture a photo and share it on my network.
I liked using filters at a family friend's Bar Mitzvah to bring out the warm hues inside the temple.
When outside at home in Great Neck for Mother's Day or at parks near my West Village apartment, I typically went with filters that made images look like '80s Polaroid cameras.
Mr. Systrom says Earlybird, which adds subtle, soft pastel tones, and X-Pro II, which gives a vintage, Polaroid look, are two of the most popular filters. He also invented Hefe, which makes a photo look more modern with orange coloring, to bring a "60-degree cold, rainy day to a 75 and sunny on the beach in Hawaii [day]," he says.
After choosing your filter, you can decide if you want to share the photo on other social networks, like Tumblr, Facebook and Flickr. You can also add your location or put a comment underneath your photo to give it more context. I liked using the location feature to show that some of my outdoor photos were in the depths of Central Park.
While other apps, such as Hipstamatic, enable photo filtering, Instagram is different because it is also a social network.
"There are lots of apps out there that let you filter photos or let you mess with them somehow," Mr. Systrom says. "The goal is not to replace those apps, but to be a place where those images can land at the end of the day."
Yet that sharing is limited: Instagram is only available on devices that use Apple's iOS. Mr. Systrom says web and Android are its two priorities "outside of Apple land." It expects web use to become available within months, and Android is on the road map for 2011.
So, is Instagram worth it? Absolutely. It is free and gives others a peek of your day-to-day life, or whatever you're willing to expose. The filters let you share these visuals with others in a different – often better – light. Hopefully other smartphone or Web users will have access soon so they won't remain envious or oblivious.

text: Hello there everyone. I have doubts about some aspects of NPCs spawning in pre 1.1.2 worlds. My girlfriend is a big Terraria fan and the thing that does it for her is flattening and leveling her worlds. (Seriously, you wouldn't believe how long she spent doing this kind of thing). Now she's trying to get some new stuff, especially the stuff you can get from the Tinkerer, but even killing the Goblin Army he is nowhere to be found. So, the question is: Is it possible to spawn the "new" NPCs in pre 1.1.2 worlds?


text:
Last night the Great Performers Series organized by the San Francisco Symphony in Davies Symphony Hall presented a solo recital by Russian pianist Evgeny Kissin. He chose to present the music of only two composers, one for each half of the program. The first half consisted of a single composition, Franz Schubert's D. 850 sonata in D major, composed in August of 1825 and sometimes called the "Gastein," named for a spa that Schubert visited. The intermission was then followed by Alexander Scriabin's Opus 19 sonata in G-sharp minor, his second sonata which he called "Sonata-Fantasy," composed between 1892 and 1897. The program then concluded with a selection of seven of the études from Scriabin's Opus 8 collection of twelve études, composed while he was working on the Opus 19 sonata.
D. 850 was first published on April 8, 1826 by Matthias Artaria under the title "Seconde grande Sonate." The "first" was D. 845 in A minor, composed earlier in 1825 (possibly in May). Schubert was clearly interested in the efforts of Ludwig van Beethoven to expand the durational scale of both entire compositions and their individual movements; and in 1825 Schubert had begun to develop successfully his own characteristic logic of prolongation. Harmonically, this involved inventing progressions that would depart significantly from the tonic key and then unfolding paths through which that key would be reestablished. That technique emerged through a rhetoric that explored extreme shifts in the expenditure of energy.
Kissin performed this sonata with a confident command of both its logic and its rhetoric. He deftly managed the rapid shifts in energy levels and guided the attention of his audience through the intricacies of "Schubert's heavenly length" (Robert Schumann's words) without ever suggesting that the journey was longer than necessary. One factor that facilitated the passing of time on such a considerable scale was the way in which Kissin took a playful approach to the unfolding of Schubert's thematic material. In the midst of all of that abundance of content, Kissin entered each new episode with the delight of a child opening yet another birthday present. This was an approach that differed from the "monumental posturing" that has tempted previous pianists; but it was thoroughly engaging in the most successful possible way.
At this point I should also note the clarity of Kissin's expression, whether it involved thematic statement or thicker textures of counterpoint and harmony. It was through that capacity for clarity that he could arrange a program that served both Schubert and Scriabin with equal respect and delight. In spite of the "fantasy" part of the title, Scriabin was as concerned with structural foundations in his Opus 19 as Schubert had been in D. 850. While many pianists often have a tendency to bathe (a derogatory verb that can be traced back, at least, to the Viennese critic Julius Korngold) in Scriabin's harmonic ambiguities, Kissin's interpretation clearly presented the enveloping framework of each of this sonata's two movements, then allowing the thick textures of embellished counterpoint to define the journey within that framework. This was very much Scriabin for listening, rather than merely indulging in emotional outpourings.
This same attentiveness to structure also emerged through Kissin's account of the Opus 8 études. In each of them, one could appreciate the technical challenges that had been posed for the "student" to master. At the same time each étude was characterized by a unique expressive voice. Kissin offered up a performance which likened encounters with each étude to the discovery of new paintings while walking through a gallery. Through this focus on the individuality of each of the pieces, Kissin avoided the trap of making the sequence sound like "one damned thing after another," a risk that confronts every pianist choosing to perform a collection of pieces, each of which has its own independent focus of attention.
All this was met with a wildly enthusiastic audience reception that would not allow Kissin to retire until he had delivered three encores. These included one more Scriabin étude; but it was sandwiched between two pieces, each of which brought an entirely different tone to the evening. The first of these was Wilhelm Kempff's transcription of the middle Siciliano movement from Johann Sebastian Bach's BWV 1031 flute sonata. At the other end Kissin concluded his string of encores by finally taking a favorite warhorse by Frédéric Chopin out of the stable. He performed the Opus 53 "Heroic" polonaise in A-flat major with all of the energetic rhetoric it deserves but without ever sacrificing that capacity for clarity of both execution and expression that made this evening so memorable.

Do we need another tote? No. Do we want another tote? Certainly. We keep seeming to accumulate random stuff, so we can always use another place to stash it. There's plenty of room in the Filson Plaid Wool Tote ($125). It's an oversized plaid wool bag--perfect for holding whatever we need it to. When we're traveling for the holidays, it'll make a great overnight bag. When we're just chillin at home and get a call that someone's going to "pop on by," it'll
hide hold a slew of magazines we have all over the coffee table. And in the bathroom. What? Don't act like you don't!

Writing Without a Net: Help For the New Writer
Perhaps, as a writer, you've worked it out. Yes, writing is solitary, lonely. You know that even when you've cultivated a circle of local friends who share your dreams and passions—or rather, their own versions of them—even when you've joined a club or professional organization, even when you've got 3000 writer friends on Facebook, you work alone.
After awhile you get used to the idea that the production side of your work cannot be shared.
But, what about when you've crafted what at first look feels like a polished chapter? What about when you've written the perfect descriptive passage, or created a startling scene, what if you've written the finest paragraph of your life? What next?
Perhaps the worst thing you can do—and hang on for the "why?"—is to go running from your office, your loft, your garret, your writer's nook and share it with a non-writer family member or friend.
Why not? If you are fortunate enough to have someone in your life who really has an interest in your work—for some of you this will not be the case—their response to what you've written will not be unbiased. There will range from blind devotion, "…this is soooo good! I wonder who will play your hero on the movie?" through jealousy, "…why don't you have a real job? Anybody can write a book. I'll prove it. I'll take two weeks off next month and crank out a best-seller!"
If you buy into the reactions and comments on either end of the spectrum, you run the great risk of believing your own press, and paying the price in under- or over confidence.
So, what is this post about?
Yeah. You guessed it. Critique groups. You need the honest support of fellow writers. Your work needs to be read, reviewed and critiqued by people who are up to the same things you are. Does this mean you'll never encounter petty jealousies or faint praise? No, but the chances are by far better that the responses you do get will be more professional, and certainly more helpful than "I Liked It!", or "You suck!"
Find a critique group close to you, or make one yourself that meets on SKYPE. You might even try an on-line method I call "The Crucible", or the "One-on-one method".
However you do it, do not—and I apologize in advance to anyone who is offended by this—trust your close friends and relatives to tell you the truth about your work. Many of them will mean well, and will say what they think you want or need to hear, but as you grow in your craft you must come to understand that not only is writing lonely, it also requires discipline and truth.

Leg Ulcers in the Elderly are a frequently occuring problem due to underlying medical complications. This can be triggered by such diseases as diabetes or a malfunction of the venous valves in the leg, besores or other causes. The skin becomes dry and brittle and easily injured. Such normal actions such as lying down, walking, shoes or wearing clothing can rub and injure the skin easily. A simple bruise or blister can fester and become infected.
Regardless of the cause, the affected area becomes infected, frequently with an antibiotic resistant form of bacteria and won't heal in a normal manner due to the restricted blood circulation in the leg area. Normal immune responses or antibiotics are unable to access the area due to the lack of circulation.
The ulcer can fester eating into the underlying tissue and muscle even penetrating right down to the bones.
Because of the underlying circulatory problems antibiotics (even if the bacteria aren't resistant) can't get to the infected area to help with the healing. Similarily topical (applied on skin) treatments generally fail because they don't penetrate into the ulcerated skin far enough to aid in the healing. These conditions have become serious enough that the infections are killing more people than AIDS and some 85% of all limb amputations are caused by these ulcers growing out of control and becoming gangrenous. These can be a serious threat to the life and health of an elderly person.
Their susceptibility is increased as the underlying diseases escalate.

Editorial - Environmental Disaster in GulfYou may ask, what can be said about this disaster that hasn't already said? But this disaster affects me as a person and an ecologist. The possibility of the extinction of sea turtles, pelicans, and other endangered species really bothers me.
Funny thing is, I feel personally responsible for the spill. While there are moments when I would like to stuff BP executives into the mile deep pipeline, I think the blame for the disaster is more widespread. All Americans are responsible; our life styles, the way our communities are designed and our commerce are all reliant on the internal combustion engine. We are addicted to oil.
We, as a country, push our legislators to allow oil exploration in ecologically fragile areas. Places where, if something goes wrong, the consequences are huge.
And who is making sure the oil companies are doing their jobs safely? Well, clearly not enough people. We here at Carnegie Mellon have to have elaborate plans for the minimal amounts of oil we have, but do offshore rigs have similar contingency plans that work? … No.
If we are not sickened emotionally by this event, we may be sickened physically by the time the long term effects of this disaster become known.
Let us all think about conservation, not just oil but also the environment. Let us live and let live. So we have some bugs in the house. Escort them outside and put the pesticide away. Feed the birds; Lord knows many birds are having a very hard time.

Since that last year at Princeton, Kopp has been siphoning off some of each generation's leaders, steering them away from Wall Street and into service. Kopp has seeded the schools. "The most successful teachers—teachers who are putting kids on a different academic and life trajectory—are operating like successful leaders anywhere," she says. "They're goal oriented and purposeful. They're maximizing every minute, constantly reflecting and improving. This is teaching as leadership, and it's the foundation of everything we do." Now we all wait to learn where her army of alumni will lead our children.

San Jose State is looking for its first win this week after losing a close
meet to UC Davis, 187.950-187.425, on Jan. 17 in its season opener. Looking
to Sunday's opponents, No. 18 Denver improved its record to 4-1 last
weekend after winning the Rocky Mountain Open where the Pioneers topped
Brigham Young, Air Force and CSU-Sacramento. Seventh-ranked Minnesota, who
defeated Auburn in its season opener, is on a two-meet losing streak after
dropping its last two meets to No. 6 Michigan and third-ranked Utah.
Head Coach Bill Ryden Says "This week, we expect to have Heidi Hornbeek back in the lineup, which will really help us in each event in terms of depth. It definitely will be nice to be home for one meet this weekend before we hit the road for a tri-meet on Sunday. We are going to have more options with the lineup, and we just want to rebound from last weekend's loss at Stanford and hit every routine."

Liljenquist's Leadership - Although the Wildcats have experienced some growing pains in the early part of the season, sophomore sensation Randi Liljenquist has paced Arizona with consistent performances in the first two meets. She underwent voluntary elbow surgery last summer because she wanted to have a chance to compete on vault and in the all-around. Liljenquist scored a career-high 38.825 in the all-around on Jan. 21 at Stanford, where she won her first all-around competition and the third event title of her Wildcat career.

All-American Heidi Hornbeek Senior Heidi Hornbeek is back for her fifth year to help lead the team to its first NCAA Championship berth in four years. The fifth-year senior did not compete at Stanford last weekend due to a nagging ankle injury, and she also saw limited action against UCLA (1/14), scoring a 9.700 on bars in her only event of the evening. Hornbeek, a six-time All-America selection and a seven-time All-Pac-10 honoree, returned to the Arizona lineup in 1999 after undergoing major shoulder surgery and racked up 32 impressive top-five finishes, including 12 first-place titles. She competed in 10 meets as an all-around performer and was the only Wildcat gymnast to reach the NCAA Championships after qualifying as the top at-large seed in the all-around.

"First ever vinyl reissue of this cult album from 1975. Défense de was the first album of Jean-Jacques Birgé and Francis Gorgé, before founding Un Drame Musical Instantane with Bernard Vitet in 1976. They had started to play together while at high school, and on their debut LP they were joined by percussionist Shiroc (who also played in Speed Limit). The album's four tracks were recorded in the family apartment of free jazz producer Sebastien Bernard, who had several nice instruments belonging to his father, like a pipe organ, an electric piano, a xylophone and a cello, a.o. The songs were taped on an 8-track recorder and also feature Antoine Duvernet from Urban Sax, who added tenor sax. Shiroc and pianist Jean-Louis Bucchi (also from Speed Limit) joined the duo some months later and the songs they feature in were recorded live in studio. Birgé and Gorgé gigged as a trio with Shiroc, sometimes with the addition of Gilles Rollet on further percussion. The resulting sounds were released on the 'June Sessions' DVD (included as a free bonus on this LP). Along with 'June Sessions' the DVD also contains 'La nuit du phoque', an experimental avant-garde movie made by Birgé and Bernard Mollerat in 1974. Défense de has become a cult LP that sells for a small fortune, especially since its interest as a landmark of early French avantgarde/experimental/synth music was noted on the famous Nurse With Wound list. Fauni Gena brings this legendary piece of musical history back to vinyl life on a top class reissue that comes complete with liner notes written by Jean-Jacques Birgé himself, plus the bonus DVD including almost six hours of extra music and videos."

Subject: A sincere question
Hello, I am a theist who is just wondering what you think of C. S. Lewis, mainly his book Miracles.
And how would you reply to his statement that atheism is too simple: that if the universe had no meaning then we would have never found out it had no meaning (i.e. if the universe held no light and we had no eyes, we would never know it was dark; darkness would have no meaning)?
Also I've read that atheism has never given an explanation of why a certain person's views would be either right or wrong (morality) disposing the validity of atheism's morality. Is this statement true?

C. S. Lewis never meant much to me. Even when I was a Christian, I couldn't see the attraction.
Today I find it impossible to respect someone who would devise his own pat (and false) definitions of atheism and them proceed to "refute" those definitions. I guess I've always appreciated people who do their own work. Even the Gospel could not drive this appreciation for honesty out of me.
As for meaning, this is an abstraction, a human abstraction, which exists independently of the state of the Universe; that is, independently of any "deep" reality. Your argument (his argument?) is not unlike asking, "How could people imagine an Easter Bunny if there were no such thing as an Easter Bunny in real life? But there's got to be something to the Easter Bunny story because we see people celebrating the Easter Bunny every springtime! The Easter Bunny, therefore, exists; otherwise, how could people possibly imagine her."
It is true that atheism has never given an explanation of the concept of "right and wrong" (which is a human abstraction). Atheism, itself, is nothing more than the absence of theism and is not, itself, a comprehensive philosophy. Could you imagine approaching a chemist and asking detailed questions about the nature and specific characteristics of "inorganic matter"? If not, then you can see why asking for "the atheist viewpoint" on anything is absurd.
In addition, the question of whether or not this or that god-claim is worthy of one's assent (this is, actually, the only question ever raised by atheism: is the claim worthy) has absolutely nothing to do with any questions regarding morality or "right and wrong." In this sense, if you can explain to me why Christianity has not given an explanation of the Hindu concept of "Maya," then I will explain to you why atheism has not given an explanation of the Christian concept of "right and wrong." Otherwise, we do well to accept that certain things (such as which question is raised by atheism) are in completely different realms than other things (such as discussions about morality).
When dealing with trick questions -- that is, questions which make statements while pretending to ask questions, it helps to remove the presuppositions from the questions which, in essence, answer the very questions you pretend to ask! It's very tempting to do this if your goal in entering a philosophical discussion is to make a point rather than simply to discover truth or test ones own views against those of another.
Thus my habit of wording my answers so as to remind the reader that we are dealing with abstractions and not any "deep" reality. This goes along with my parallel habit of respecting questions which likewise readily acknowledge that these and similar things are human abstractions, ideas, and not any "deep" reality.
When discussing these things, especially as ideological opponents, we do well to keep the dialogue on mutually acceptable grounds. In this case (theist versus atheist), we can agree that the theist is making claims but we cannot agree on anything "deeper" than that. So we do well to discuss the validity of the theist's claim. If we reach a point where we agree that the theist's claim is worthy of assent, then we may (if we want) discuss the "deeper" reality as if they were fact; until then, we do best to call them what they are: abstractions.

Bay-Faith rivalry means more this year
'Gray Out' fundraising event set for Saturday's showdown
Mike Ramczyk
write the author
FINDING A CURE FOR CANCER On Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Faith Christian High School, 5525 Highway 67, the Faith and Williams Bay boys basketball teams will square off, but it will be more than just a game. The two schools are coming together to sell gray T-shirts for $10 each, with proceeds going to "The Cure Starts Now," a program dedicated to cancer research. Usually heated rivals, the two schools came together this year as a result of two children dying in the last year of cancer, one a third-grader at Faith Christian School. Both student councils collaborated on the idea.
December 08, 2010 | 08:38 AM
Williams Bay — For years, the Faith Christian and Williams Bay boys basketball teams have engaged in a heated rivalry.
Close games, physical play and even hard feelings are commonplace at games. It's one of those rivalries where no matter what the team's records are, all players bring it with deep passion. It's safe to say the two schools haven't always been the best of friends.
But tragedy brings people together, and in Saturday's 2:30 p.m. upcoming showdown at Faith, the community's true colors will shine through.
In October, Faith Christian senior and student council member Cayla Learman came to the school's administrator Craig Skrede with an idea for a fundraiser to fight cancer. Back in the spring, two children close to Learman, a third-grader from Faith and a 12-year-old girl from her church, passed away from cancer. Learman's parish member died of a rare brain cancer, Diffuse Instrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG. It is one of the most resistant cancers to chemotherapy, and it primarily affects children.

So Learman presented the idea to Williams Bay High School, eyeing Saturday's basketball game as a target for a "Gray Out," an event where players and fans all wear gray T-shirts as a sign of unity.
"We needed to do something," Learman said Monday. "The mother of the parish member who died posted the idea on Facebook hoping someone would do it. I loved the idea. The main thing is the two schools coming together for one cause. I felt it was time as a young adult to bring us all together and fight against cancer."
Since the annual contest brings out plenty of community members and alumni, Learman thought the game was the perfect time. In the end, she hopes this can be a regular event.
"We need to focus on unity instead of how we've been rivals all these years," Learman said.
Williams Bay at-risk coordinator Charley Mestek said the theme of the game is "one game, one cause, one community." He added as of Monday, the event has raised approximately $1,200.
"The best thing is the kids took it and ran with it," Mestek said. "It's a pretty neat thing. We're all in this together."
Skrede said the game will take on extra meaning at Faith.
"We are so pleased to have rival schools come together and join in this purpose," he said. "Losing a child last year, this is very close to our hearts."
Anybody's game
The Bay is coming off a blowout victory at the hands of Faith last year, but this rivalry has been pretty evenly matched since Troy Nottestad took over the Bulldogs program seven years ago.
The teams are knotted up at 4-4 during the last seven years, highlighted by two Faith wins in 2008 including a playoff victory.
While the game is important, Faith coach Brian Pollard understands the true relevance of Saturday's tilt.
"Instead of the regular blue and orange, both teams will be wearing gray shirts in warm-ups," he said. "I'm pretty impressed that the kids put this together, it's for a greater cause. It's a lot of work, and kids don't have to do that."
On the floor, both teams have stumbled so far to 0-2 records. The Bulldogs were blown out by Marshall Saturday and Clinton in the first game of the year.
As for Faith, the Eagles are hanging with opponents. They fell to Burlington Catholic Central by nine points and Ethan Allen by six.
Thus far, junior center Ben Sass has played like a man possessed, averaging 20.5 points and more than 10 rebounds per contest.
"Ben was dominant against Ethan Allen," Pollard said. "Nobody could stop him inside. I'm proud of the way our guys have fought in these games so far."
While the Bay has had early trouble, junior forward Lawrence Crement is punishing opposing defenses. Crement has posted averages of 15 points and 7.5 rebounds thus far, including a 20-point effort against Marshall. All 20 points came in the second and third quarters.
While Faith will rely on its size, Bay will utilize its quickness up and down the court, led by guards Adam Lechelt, Marcos Quiles and Chad Pharris.

My favorite explosive is one that doesn't favor me as it's target
Seriously though I like any explosive that I can get my hands on. They might be hazardous to myself but at least I can go out in flames, literally.
Without fear, there is no courage
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.
This would be really funny if it weren't happening to me.
In the land of California, in the heat of San Jose the dark haired PSIONIC JEDI forged in secret a master computer to control all others and into this computer he poured his money, his computer parts and many screws
One computer to rule them all. One computer to find the foes
One computer to bring them all to hell and in the darkness conquer
In the online gaming world where the envying ones lie.
