Are you ready for the opening night of the hit Broadway musical "Wicked," which starts it's run tonight at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis. Oh, what a show is promised to the lucky audience members that make it out to see this fabulous musical, which runs from tonight, Jan. 29 - Feb. 16, 2014
A statement released by Christina Torres, Press Relations Manager for the Orpheum, describes the event.
"Back by 'Popular' demand. Variety calls WICKED "a cultural phenomenon," and every time it plays in Memphis, it breaks box office records. Winner of over 50 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, WICKED is "Broadway's biggest blockbuster" (The New York Times). Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One - born with emerald green skin - is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for "the most complete - and completely satisfying - new musical in a long time (USA Today)."
This writer will be at the Orpheum tomorrow night, Jan. 30, 2014 to write a review on the show, and I hope to see many of you there!
For more information, and show dates and time, see my previous article, 'Wicked' at the Orpheum Theatre: Back by popular demand, or go to The Orpheum Theatre website. The Orpheum is located at 203 S. Main Street, Memphis, Tenn. 38103.

With a never-been-fired .22 revolver from 1955, no less. :congrats:
This is such a great story on so many levels.
81-year-old Detroit man shoots at intruder, scares him off
"I have had this (gun) since 1955 and never been fired. Never been fired," Dave said.
Well, the gun is not a virgin anymore! :danceban:
From a defensive firearm's perspective, it's hard to argue with the comfort of "knowing" that 100% of your use has been in successful defense of the owner. Kudos, kudos, kudos!
Great story. Anybody know what make the revolver was?
Take note Chicago. It's hard to argue with the outcome but someone needs to get this man a proper caliber and a little range time. We need to keep him in the community for years to come.
Bravo Zulu.
Good job, old timer.
^^^^^^^^^^^hard to say^^^^^^^
I looked at that pic.
Maybe bmc will see the thread .
To me it almost looks like a colt, frame wise but no rampant colt or colt grips.
Someone has the phrase, "When its time to shoot, shoot, don't talk"
Gotta love the old guys. Someone should definitely upgrade his weapon to a .32 or a 9mm, .38 spl.
Good job Dave! I hope the scum bag is quietly bleeding out under his rock.
Congrats to this older home owner, and hopefully he'll have no more uninvited visits.:congrats:
That's as good a way as any to break-in a NIB gun.
Chalk up another one for the good guys.
Yes, a Rohn made in Germany and according to my 2011 pricing guide has little or no value. I have seen a few get passed, no bid, at several recent gun auctions. Like I have said many times, any gun is better than no gun......and the old guy proved it..

Junior midfielder Sam Mewis is blogging for UCLABruins.com during the 2013 season. Mewis is a regular with the U.S. Women's Youth National Team and a two-time all-conference selection who has scored 34 points on 12 goals and 10 assists in her career.
Last week I talked about how fast time was passing this season; this past weekend, the team really made the most of our opportunities and came out successful. We played one of the best teams in the country, Stanford, on Thursday night and were able to win, 2-1 in double overtime. The entire game was hard-fought and, as always, Stanford presented a huge challenge with their talent and will to win. Jenna Richmond scored in the beginning of the second half to put us up 1-0, but Stanford came back with less than two minutes to play and tied it up. Entering overtime, we were all exhausted and upset that we had given up a goal. It was the motivation coming from each other that pushed us on and helped us make it 15 more minutes. Lauren Kaskie came on the field in the second overtime and buried a beautiful shot with her left foot that won us the game.
It was such an important moment for this team that I think we will look back on it as the turning point of our season. Abby Dahlkemper also deserves some recognition for saving the ball off of our goal line in the first overtime. Our determination and hard work really paid off in this game, and the kind of spirited victory that we experienced was exactly what the team needed.
We recovered on Friday with a pool workout and then set off for San Francisco. Most of us had never been to the city before, but all of us loved it! We stopped at the Google headquarters and were given a tour before walking down to Pier 39 for the afternoon. My older cousin lives in the city, so I was able to meet up with him and spend some time visiting him and his girlfriend. I haven't spent much time with him in a few years due to the distance, but it was so cool to get to see his office and apartment and get a feel for the way he lives up there. I think that when soccer is able to bring you together with people, it really demonstrates the worldliness of the sport and how it can be so impactful off the field as well.
A few family members staying in the city joined us for dinner at Pier 39, and then we headed back to our hotel to start preparing for our next game. On Saturday we went out to practice and had a focused, detailed session. We grabbed lunch in Berkeley on our way back, and most of us tried to get some homework done before dinner. Keeping up with school on the road is certainly a challenge, but we are all doing our best to stay disciplined! In one of my classes right now, I'm (attempting) to learn about the history of the English language. It might be the hardest class I've ever taken at UCLA, and I spend 90% of lecture trying to understand what the professor is talking about.
On Sunday we took on Cal in the morning and, with a goal from Sarah Killion, were able to win, 1-0. It was another solid team effort, due to tired legs from our streak of challenging games. Beating Cal was an important step in our journey forward, and they were a very talented team who proved difficult to beat. After the game, we headed back to LA exhausted but pleased with the results from the weekend.
We got back at it this week to prepare for ASU on Friday night at home. After such a huge weekend, I know that we are up for another game that promises to be a battle. I can't wait to see what this team can continue to do week after week - NCAA Tournament is just around the corner!
Make sure to come by Drake stadium Friday night at 7pm! I'll see you next week!

The Japan Meteorological Agency reported that last month was the hottest June in over 120 years of record keeping. As April and May were exceptionally hot as well, the entire second quarter of 2014 was the hottest on record. NASA's records showed similar observations. According to NASA, last June was the third warmest on record, while the second quarter of 2014 was the second hottest on record. The second quarter of 2010 was the hottest second quarter on record.
There are immense wildfires burning in Russia, the U.S. Northwest, and the Northwest Territory of Canada. The Carlton Complex Fire, which is the largest fire in Washington State's history, was declared a federal disaster area by the President on July 24. It is one of scores of fires in the U.S. Northwest. In Canada, 904,000 hectares (2,334,000 acres) have burned so far this year, compared to the ten-year average of 142,000 hectares. The Russian fires have largely been concentrated in Yakutia, which sits atop a large pile of thawing permafrost, and may be the most carbon-rich area in the entire Arctic Northern Hemisphere. Global warming here is 0.5° C (0.9° F) per decade, which over twice the average rate elsewhere. Because of its large carbon store, Yakutia could release a lot of carbon and methane into the atmosphere and thus exacerbate climate change.
Hurricane Arthur, the first named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, became the first storm to have its storm surge mapped by the National Hurricane Center. The NHC had unveiled its experimental storm surge maps last month. These maps will be used to help residents of coastal areas better appreciate the dangers of a storm surge, which causes most of the damage seen in a hurricane or tropical storm. Storm surges have become increasingly dangerous because growing coastal populations and rising sea levels.
India's finance minister has decided to double the tax on every metric ton of coal mined or imported in the country. The tax has been $0.83 per metric ton since 2010; doubling it will increase the tax to $1.67 per metric ton. The resultant revenue would go to the National Clean Energy Fund, which finances renewable energy projects. The projects being considered include a program for promoting wind energy production throughout the country, covering canals with solar panels, and having 22,000 MW solar power capacity by 2022.
The Central Committee of the World Council of Churches (WCC) endorsed fossil fuel divestment, agreeing to phase out its own holdings and encourage its members to do the same. The WCC Central Committee is made up of dozens of religious leaders from over 300 churches that represent 590 million people in 150 countries. Guillermo Kerber, who coordinates the WCC's work on care for creation and climate justice said "The general ethical guidelines for investment already included the concern for a sustainable environment, for future generations and CO2 footprint. Adding fossil fuels to the list of sectors where the WCC does not invest in serves to strengthen the governing body's commitment on climate change as expressed in various sessions of the Central Committee."
In a recent issue of the journal Science, biologists warn that the loss and decline of animals is contributing to what may be the beginnings of the world's sixth mass extinction. Since 1500, over 320 land vertebrates have gone extinct, while the survivors have declined by an average of 25% in abundance. Large animals like elephants, rhinos, and bears show the highest rate of decline, because of their smaller populations and lower rate of reproduction. Scientists also noted that while the human population doubled over the past 35 years, the number of invertebrates like beetles, spiders, butterflies, and worms declined by 45% during that same time. In both cases, the losses are caused by climate change and habitat loss.
The Australian Academy of Science put together a think tank devoted to studying the impacts climate change could have on human health. The think tank concentrated on five main areas: temperature and extreme weather events, infectious diseases, food and water supplies, social instability, and human livelihood. The think tank spent two days analyzing these concerns before making recommendations that will form the basis of a report that will be released later this year. Recommendations included improving early warning systems, helping poor communities, and reducing food waste.
There are now more people in the U.S. solar industry than there are coal miners. The non-profit Solar Foundation estimates there are about 142,000 people in the U.S. who spend at least 50% of their time working with solar power. By contrast, there are 123,000 coal miners. The coal industry still hires more people overall, when one adds people who work in maintenance or transportation. Solar power is definitely growing, with 43 GWH or gigawatt hours of solar panels being installed worldwide this year. (a gigawatt is a billion watts.) 6.6 GWH will be installed in the U.S. over the year, and China and India are also making large investments in solar power.
According to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization, climate change has already made the world five times as dangerous and disaster-prone as it was in the 1970's. During the first decade of the 21st century, there were 3496 natural disasters including floods, storms, droughts, and heat waves. There were 743 such disasters during the 1970's, and all of these weather events have been linked to climate change. 80% of the disasters from the first decade of the 21st century were storms and/or floods. These storms are taking a toll on the U.S. economy. Five of the costliest global disasters took place in the U.S. All five were storms, and they caused a total of $294 billion in damages. Heat waves weren't even considered a major threat in the 1970's -- but one caused 55,000 deaths in Russia in 2010.

Gingrich Focuses on Topics Other Than Tuesday's Vote
CLEVELAND — Election? What election?
Some 12 hours after getting clocked in Minnesota and Colorado, Newt Gingrich came to a manufacturing plant here to talk about the economy, Social Security and most issues besides Tuesday's voting. (Mr. Gingrich was not on the ballot in Missouri.)
The former House speaker did not speak to reporters afterwards and he has yet to acknowledge the results of Tuesday's voting. He did, however, warn of President Barack Obama's "attack on religious liberty," and he suggested there is "real danger" of a nuclear attack from Iran.
"You think about an Iranian nuclear weapon," he said. "Remember what it felt like on 9/11 when 3,100 Americans were killed? Now imagine an attack where you add two zeros… This is a real danger. This is not science fiction."
He also commented on Chrysler's much-discussed Super Bowl ad in which actor Clint Eastwood declares it is "halftime in America" and that the country will rebound like the automakers of Detroit.
"While there's some controversy about it, I have to confess I like the Clint Eastwood halftime ad," Mr. Gingrich said.
The former House speaker goes dark until Friday, when he will speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. He then heads to California where his stalled campaign hopes, and needs, to raise some money.
Mr. Gingrich is also keeping his time in public brief Wednesday. He spoke for about 12 minutes here. His campaign, quick to signal it is pressing ahead, announced that the former speaker will visit his home state of Georgia late next week. It's one of several states the campaign is betting it can win on March 6, Super Tuesday, when 10 states hold nomination contests.

Online Yard Sale?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 08:07 PM
Posted 04 December 2012 - 07:39 AM
Hi, I am trying to find out if I can make a website for an online yard sale.
We obviously have no way of knowing if you have that ability.
do I need a buisness liscense for a yard sale advertized on a website?
Rather obviously, it depends on the laws of your unidentified state and locality. Where I live, laws governing yard sales/garage sales are made at the local level. I suggest you look up the local ordinances for your city/town/county.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 09:49 AM
Hi, I am trying to find out if I can make a website for an online yard sale. All purchases would be made in person, and no money would be exchanged online, but do I need a buisness liscense for a yard sale advertized on a website?
That's kind of a silly idea. People are going to want to see stuff up close before they buy it.
Makes more sense to advertise on Craigslist with the date and time.
You can post up to 8 photos on Craigslist to show all your stuff if you want to.

If you were tired of seeing Batman get all the cool cars while your favorite superhero was left to his own considerable devices, you may have been intrigued when Chrysler unveiled a special Ram Power Wagon last summer. Tied in to the premier of Man of Steel, the unique truck packed a blueish-grey vinyl wrap (textured like Superman's outfit), gloss-black accents, anodized red trim, 17-inch alloys and an interior decked out with Superman logos.

You may already be doing this, but here is a checklist that you can use to double-check everything is in the right place.
Hope that this helps.

AUSSIE rock legends SPY V SPY will be bidding farewell to Australia tonight with a bon voyage gig at SJ's.
The spies are heading off to sunny Brazil, home of daring red swimwear, near-nude beach volleyball and soccer-mad fans.
The band will be touring across the country from the golden paradise of Rio di Janeiro to the sprawling metropolis of Sao Paulo.
It's the spies' fifth tour of the Latin American paradise.
It may be more than 10 years since the band made the Sygna wreck at Stockton the subject of its ONE OF A KIND video, but their hard-rocking politically-aware songs like INJUSTICE, CREDIT CARDS and Don't Tear It Down still sound good today.
Admission for the show is only $5.

Is it possible or even allowed to view another user's flag history? If yes, how?
While this isn't personally identifiable information (as covered by our privacy policy), it's treated as non-public information. Only you and someone with moderator or above access can see your flagging history.
It's designed like this because flagging is something we want you to do, if you end up doing a horrible job of it, it's us (moderators and employees) that need to reach out to you. Opening up your flags opens you up to a potentially huge level of scrutiny, and possible revenge-like behavior from folks that had posts flagged by you. That's the sorts of things that make people want to not do something we really need them doing.
There is an exception to this, if you nominate yourself for moderator we will show the number of helpful flags you've raised (aggregate) and (shortly) the all-time number of flags you've raised. The change helps to prevent folks that haven't raised many helpful flags (due to not flagging much at all) from nominating and then rushing to get a bunch of helpful flags, often in the course doing it wrong.
We'd never reveal what you flagged, or how. You can reveal something you've flagged if you wish, perhaps to open a discussion about how a flag was handled or such, but basically every scenario in that realm has been played out here so it's not as common as it used to be.

"Don't eat that Mary, you'll just get fatter," seemed to be all Mary ever heard her mother say. She did hate being fat and she did try but food did more to sooth her wounded feelings that anything else. When Mary's mother decided to send her to Dr. Franklin's wait loss clinic for prepubescent girls she went with out a fight. Mary mother knew nothing about the good doctor except his fame for results. She left her young daughter in the doctors hands and was instructed not to return for one week.
Mary was shown into the doctors office and told to remove her clothes. Mary had never been seen naked by any man not even her father and so was reticent to strip down in front of him.
"Mary maybe if I undress first you will fell more comfortable,"
ans without waiting for her reply he began to undress. Mary had seen her little brother's penis before but this was the first man and the doctor's erection was standing out hard and strong. When she still hesitated, he called in two older boys who came in and as one held her tight the other cut her clothes from her body. She stood there softly crying as the boys leered at her, her hips bulged as did her tummy but most embarrassing was where a girl should be large she wasn't. Her breasts were not even a handful with little bee-bee sized nipples centered in nickel size aureoles.
Mary was instructed to climb up on the examining table and as she leaned back the two boys forcibly held her down. The doctor put her feet into the syrups, then strapped them in place. She could only think that this was the most exposed she could ever be. However she quickly learned she was wrong as the doctor pushed a lever making the end of the table fall away and now her bottom was left hanging in the air.
The doctor positioned himself between her outstretched thighs, then he reached out and pulled on Mary's newly sprouted crop of pubic hair. She was so proud of her downy fur as it was the only sign of maturity she had achieved. As the doctor tugged at it she noticed a tingle deep inside her and that she was getting warmer as well. With his fingers pulling her hair he pried apart the slit that was the entrance to her womb.
"Mary this week is going to be a life changing event for you. We are going to teach you about pleasures more rewarding than a cookie or an extra glass of milk."
As he let go of her pubes her slit re-closed but now it was wrapped around his finger. He began to press it against that little nub at the top of her privates, usually this was far too sensitive for even her to touch but the doctor's finger felt wonderful. When he stopped even she was surprised by the audible moan that escaped her lips. She felt her face go red with the heat of embarrassment when the two boys were instructed to hold apart the two folds thus exposing her most private parts to not only the doctor but them as well. They both chuckled and one even licked his lips as they lewdly stared deep inside her. He told her that her Hymen was still intact but he would select one of the boys to be first to break it. Mary looked at both boys hoping they would not be as large as the doctor was She could tell that both were erect, she even took a little pride in knowing she had caused their excitement. The doctor now leaned closer, so close she could fell his warm breath on her pee hole. Suddenly a jolt of electricity shot through her body and she looked down to see the doctor's tongue lapping at her nub. The doctor held on to the rolls of fat on her belly as one would hold a harness while his tongue rode her precious button. The pleasure Mary was now feeling was almost too much and she feared she might faint or even worse. As she experienced her first orgasm she could wonder how this feeling could ever be repeated. No sooner had this though entered her head she felt another one coming and she let out a scream of joy and she begged the doctor not to stop.
Mary must have eventually passed out for she awoke in a small room. Her first thoughts were of the humiliation she had endured and of the three males who had looked at her chubby body with lust in their eyes. She began to understand that even if boys seemed uninterested in a chubby girl it still excited them to see one naked. She then began to wonder what adventures awaited her in day two.

Re: chubby pre teen; Mary learns of her powers

As the days passed at the institute Mary remained naked and although this was done to humiliate her instead she learned the power her naked form gave over the men there. One night she even dreamed she was a princess in a far off land. She would sit naken upon her golden throne with legs splayed apart and all the boys of the kingdom were commanded to put theirs tongues on Mary's sex. If they pleased her and gave her the tingle they were rewarded but if they could not do it she would cut off their thingy. She woke from this drean feeling powerful and she realized that not only the boys but the doctor as well couldn't keep their eyes off her nakedness, they didn't seem to mind her rolls of fat or her wide rear or even her little girl boobies. She would ask the boys for favors and if they refused she would pout and pinch her nipples to make sure they were looking at her. They always gave in, always,even the doctor seemed powerless to resist her. When she went home it was not as a girl who was concerned about her weight but as a girl who knew the secret of the ages, that no man could resist the wiles of a sexy woman.
At home she knew who was to be her first conquest, her mother's boyfriend, Roger, not only to get back at her mother but because he had always looked at her with disgust. One night when Roger was there her mother popped her head in Mary's room to tell her she had to go to the store to buy beer for him, she said she would be right back and Mary should get ready for bed. Once her mother was gone Mary went through her mother's drawers until she found a baby doll nighty that she liked. She took off everything even her panties and put on the top. Her upper arms were so fat she stretched the elastic in the sleeves but her boobs were so small they were invisible. She bent over to get a better look in the mirror and when she did the neck fell open showing off both of her little mounds of flesh. She then checked out how low the nighty fell on her body. It was just right at the top of her thighs and nothing showed unless she lifted her arms. She was disappointed that her little patch of hair was so light you couldn't see it through the gauzy fabric so she went to mother's make up and took a dark sable mascara and brushed it through her pubs. Now you could see she had hair down there like a real woman. She turned to look at her butt, she hated her rear it was so large and her flab hung like saddle bags, not full and round like Beounce's. She took each cheek in her hands and tried top pull her fat tight but her hands were not big enough to hold all of it. She pulled her cheeks apart exposing her poop hole and as she looked at it she decided she would make her mother boyfriends kiss her right there.
She snuck into the kitchen and got a new jar of marshmallow cream, then headed to the front room where Roger was watching some sporty thing on the TV.
"Uncle Roger can you do this for me?"
She always hated that her mother made her call him uncle but tonight it seemed to fit in with her plan. She held the jar out to him as she bent over as far as she dared.
"What, ah, don't bother me now kid I'm..."
He was now staring down her top at her boobies and by the hungry look on her face she knew she had him.
"Please, please, please, Uncle Roger It's too hard for me can you do it?"
Finally breaking his gaze he took the jar and opened it for her,
"Thanks Uncle," she cooed,"I won't bother you again."
"Oh no any time I'm here to help."
Mary spun around making sure her nighty flew up enough for him to see her naked rear end and purposely bumped her rear into the table.
"Ow, she cried,"That hurt, Uncle Roger will you look and see if I have a bruise?"
She pulled up the nighty and stuck her rear toward the man. He put his hand on her and rubbed squeezed her all over.
"Mummy use to kiss it when I had a boo-boo."
"Sure hon, I'll kiss it for you where does it hurt."
She brazenly bent over and spread her cheeks,
"Right here Uncle Roger, please kiss it for me."
He did kiss her there and as he did she pushed her hole toward him and soon she felt his tongue go inside her right where she poops. She Reached back and held his head in place, then she began to rock up and down. Soon his nose was now in her poop hole and his tongue was in her puss-puss.
"Uncle Roger, are you being naughty?"
Just then they both heard her mother's car pulling into the driveway.
"I better go upstairs, mummie doesn't like me to wear her nighties, oh and Roggie you better wash youyr face before you give mother a kiss."
As she went up the stairs she knew she was going to have loads of fun with Uncle Roger.

The number one problem reported by owners of newly constructed or renovated buildings is a malfunctioning HVAC system. The goal of EH&E's specialized building commissioning process is to identify and correct equipment and operational problems before they affect building operation and negatively impact occupant health and comfort.
EH&E promotes "building systems commissioning" as a quality assurance process. In new construction, the building commissioning process is implemented to ensure that equipment and systems perform as intended, and it is generally accepted that commissioning is most effective when applied as early in the construction process as possible to have maximum impact. Commissioning addresses the verification of both the tangible and intangible aspects of materials, equipment, and systems and focuses on the difference between systems simply operating and achieving the intended performance parameters. EH&E has the expertise to apply commissioning to all building Mechanical, Electric, Plumbing (MEP), and Fire Protection Systems (FP).
Major components of EH&E's building commissioning program are:
When our process is included as part of the original construction contract, a positive impact on schedule adherence and the reduction in change orders and warranty period issues in the construction and building acceptance phases can be significant. We review, verify, and document systems performance and make recommendations for enhanced performance, equipment longevity, and potential energy savings.

Bike to Work Day has been rescheduled to June 6th, due to the forecast of inclement weather and the flooding on the People Trail.
Mayor Kristen Brown invites community members to join her and other City of Columbus officials as they ride their bicycles to work Friday, June 6, to support commuting by bike and observe the nationally designated "Bike to Work Day."
Bike to Work Day is part of Bike Month. Celebrated during May, Bike Month is a national effort endorsed by the U.S. Department of Transportation to highlight the benefits of bicycling and demonstrate that it is feasible to leave the car at home for some journeys. Benefits of bicycling include staying fit, saving money at the gas pump, reducing road congestion and pollution and participating in an enjoyable activity.
Anyone wishing to ride with Mayor Brown and other City officials should gather at 7:30 a.m. Friday, June 6, at the Shoppes of Riverbend/Papa's Grill parking lot. Most of the ride will use the People Trail along State Road 46. The group will ride about 3 miles to downtown Columbus, where riders can register for prizes donated by local merchants and enjoy a light breakfast.
"Our city is fortunate to have significant infrastructure and programs that create a safe environment for bicyclists and pedestrians," Mayor Brown said. "Bicycling is an active, healthy alternative for commuting to work. I encourage residents and employees to join me on Bike to Work Day and give bicycle commuting a try."
This is the eighth year for the Columbus ride, and the third year for this route. For more information about Bike Month activities, view the Columbus Bike Month Calendar.

It's a cold, dreary and icy Meatless Monday here at Test Kitchen Headquarters so we thought we'd heat up your Monday with some hot and oozy vegetarian quesadillas. These delicious little tortilla pies slice up into six little wedges and come out crispy and delicious, perfect to dip in salsa, serve topped with pico de gallo or alongside some hot and spicy chili. To top off the ease and yumminess of the recipe, they are also sure to warm up your insides on these cold, pre-spring days.
I use McCormick's seasonings in my cooking because I find the brand to be fresher, more pungent and truer to the taste of fresh herbs than other brands I have tried. You may, of course, choose any brand you prefer.
Cream Cheese Spinach Walnut Quesadilla
- 2 - 6 or 8 inch whole wheat or high fiber tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 oz. fat free or reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 3 Tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon McCormick's Garlic Pepper Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon McCormick's Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon McCormick's Cayenne Pepper or Chili Powder or Cumin
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh, frozen or canned spinach (drained and dried as much as possible)
- 4 thin tomato slices
- 1 Tablespoon low fat or fat free sour cream (Greek yogurt also works well)
- Rub olive oil on front and back of both tortillas and place on cookie sheet.
- In a small bowl, mash the softened cream cheese with a fork until creamy. Add walnuts, seasonings and spinach to the mixture, mixing well.
- Spread cream cheese mixture over one of the tortilla shells, spreading all the way to the edge.
- place tomato slices on top of cream cheese mixture and lightly spread sour cream over the tomatofes.
- Top with the other tortilla and press down edges with fingers or fork to seal. Sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired.
- Place in 350 degree oven until tortillas are brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve alongside taco soup or chili, or top with salsa, refried beans or pico de gallo.

With one of the most comprehensive collections of artwork in the nation, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is an incredible cultural attraction whose exhibits highlight the creative achievements of humankind.
Currently the Museum of Fine Arts is hosting a brilliant Renoir exhibition, a colorful showcase of the Impressionist's easy style. On loan from the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, this collection of masterpieces reflects the happy daily life of the artist's contemporaries.
Other current exhibitions include a feature on New Hampshire's natural wonders, Art of the White Mountains, as well as Paper Zoo, a collection of animal drawings and photographs made by artists like Rembrandt, Audubon and Picasso. The exhibit Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates the English monarch's Diamond Jubilee, and Grandstand to Gallery is a virtual gallery of fan photographs from Boston's Fenway Park.
Constantly evolving in new artistic directions with incredible exhibits, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston offers one of the most important collections of art in the country, if not the world.

"Easy Living" is a social commentary describing the ever changing environment of Orange County. This was shot between November 2008 and March 2010. Primarily photographed with a 4x5 view camera on slide film and full frame DSLR when situations didn't allow for a large rig. This book of work focuses on the consequences of Orange County's social interaction. The final intent of this piece is an exhibition "panel" of all the images together as one (51"x88") as shown on pages 4 and 5. (As seen on the cover as well).

Christiane Amanpour's status as the new face of the foreign correspondent was crystallized for me a few years ago at a women's conference in California. As Amanpour crossed the stage—to thunderous applause—clad in her trademark khaki and black, the young woman seated next to me asked admiringly, "Do you think she has a closetful of safari jackets in different shades?" Well, yes. But what might be just a fashion choice for some was, Amanpour says, "my liberation."
"I knew that this look was professional and neat and appropriate for the field," Amanpour, 52, told me recently. "It meant I never thought how to mix and match and accessorize, and all those things you might think of in civilian life. I needed to think of just my work."
Now Amanpour has traded her field uniform—and her longtime employer, CNN—for anchor duds and ABC News, where she hosts the Sunday-morning program This Week with Christiane Amanpour. She has also broadened her beat, further burnishing one of journalism's most impressive résumés.
Born in England to an Iranian father and a British mother, she grew up in Tehran, where her future was shaped by the 1979 Islamic Revolution. She lived under martial law and heard Ayatollah Khomeini preach. "I knew then that I wanted to tell those stories," she says. When Iraq's Saddam Hussein invaded Iran in 1980, starting an eight-year war, Amanpour's family, vacationing in England, decided to stay put. She chose to attend college in America.
After graduating from the University of Rhode Island, she landed in Atlanta at the foreign desk of then-fledgling CNN because someone said, "You're foreign. We have an opening on the foreign desk." Never mind that the job was about getting coffee and transcribing real reporters' notes; Amanpour jumped at the chance. In 1990 she was sent overseas to cover the run-up to the first Gulf War, an assignment that allowed her passion and drive to break through. Soon she was the network's go-to reporter on foreign news, interviewing heads of state, casualties of armed conflict, victims of famine. She has won every major broadcast-journalism award, some multiple times. Today Amanpour lives in Manhattan with her husband, former Assistant Secretary of State Jamie Rubin, and their 10-year-old son, Darius. She commutes to Washington on weekends for the show, where her role is different but her ultimate mission is, in some ways, the same.
What do you want viewers to take away from This Week?
I want them to find a place where they get what they're used to getting—politics—but also the policy that matters to them, beyond the "he said, she said" shouting across the aisle. My aim is to make foreign less foreign. And to really explore that vital nexus between domestic and foreign policy.
You have spent your professional life abroad. Do you feel up to speed on U.S. politics?
I will get up to speed. You know, I wasn't up to speed on genocide when I covered that. I wasn't up to speed on civil war, on famine. But I will be.
Are you a U.S. citizen?
No, I am a British citizen. But when I made a trip to America in 1976, one of the first places I visited was New York, the World Trade Center. We went up to [the restaurant] Windows on the World, and I saw my first view of America from there: all the way down to the water and the Statue of Liberty, all the way around Manhattan. Then in Washington we did the tour of all the monuments—I remember bicycling at sunset around the Lincoln Memorial and feeling this great history, the revolutionary process that made America the beacon it is. I have the foreigner's idealistic respect for what America stands for and what it offers.

According to the Animal Cancer Foundation, nearly 6 million cats in the United States are diagnosed with cancer each year.
For certain cancers, conventional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are often recommended.
But what do you do if you decide that you cannot put your cat through the trauma of these harsh treatments? Or when your vet says to you, "there's nothing we can do."
These are the issues Liz Hardy, PhD, author of the book The Chemo-Free Cat faced when her cat Moofy was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor.
She writes:
The vet gave us three options. Surgery - Moofy could have had surgery to remove her tumour – but it would probably have damaged her spinal cord and left her unable to walk. Even if she did make it through the operation, a new tumour would have grown back within months. Chemo - Likewise, she could have had chemo, but there wouldn't be much point with the tumour still there – and I didn't want to put her through that. Do nothing - the other option the vet gave us was to sit and wait. We could watch the tumour grow and grow, and then bring Moofy in to have her put to sleep. How completely appalling!
So Hardy set out to find alternative ways to help Moofy. From her experiences, The Chemo-Free Cat was born. She is quick to point out that she is not a veterinarian and that the book is not meant as medical advice.
The book does not play on desperation, nor is it preachy. At times it is even funny. It is designed as helpful guide for cat guardians facing the same types of decisions and frustrations. I feel that it can also help take away some of the stress felt by those wading through the information (and misinformation) found online.
The Chemo-Free Cat includes:
- What your cat should eat
- Why water quality matters
- Boost your cat's immunity
- Homeopathic medicine
- Bioptron light therapy
- Creating a toxin-free environment
- Distance energy healing
- Animal Communication
Hardy understands that many of these topics may be foreign or dismissed by some people. Her gentle, engaging style of writing and personal insight makes it all quite palatable, even for the biggest skeptics.
"...there's another really interesting difference between traditional and alternative animal medicine, she points out. "I play a role in Moofy's healing as well. I'm not handing over authority to a medical professional who makes all the decisions for me."
Though the book it written for cats with cancer, even healthy cats can benefit from the food and water recommendations, immunity support and many of the other topics discussed throughout The Chemo-Free Cat.
The Chemo-Free Cat E-book is available for $11.95. Visit the Meow Cancer Clinic to learn more and to order.
Hardy also includes The Cat Cancer Action Planners with every order. They are helpful, done-for-you worksheets to keep track of your cat's treatments.

Coffee is my drug of choice, and it has been for longer than it hasn't. It makes my brain come alive every morning, and soon thereafter, my body usually catches up. This is why, as previously mentioned, there's so many coffee making contraptions in my kitchen, and it is also why I am well suited to review the Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System.
Comments regarding the K45 introductory article from various social networks were surprisingly negative, citing that K-cup machines make mediocre coffee, that making coffee in general isn't particularly challenging, and, though convenient, they ultimately make a rather expensive cup of home brewed coffee. Needless to say, those comments helped shape this review. The following is what I discovered over the past month of living with the K45.
The machine is very easy to assemble and set up, and once it is set up, it is very easy to use. Since the K45 came with a 12 pod variety pack of coffee and tea, it was almost immediately apparent that the quality of the coffee that ends up in the cup is heavily dependent on what company filled the pod and with what. Since that 12 pack was consumed within the first two days of this test, seven other 12 packs have been purchased, their contents brewed, and that brewed coffee consumed, and I can tell you definitively that it is the coffee supplier and not the brewer that produces a mediocre cup of coffee.
Of all the coffee making devices in my house, the K45 is by far the simplest to use, but not by much. The 13 year old Bunn that sits right next to it is pretty darn simple to use, as well. Compared to a Moka Express or French press, the K45 is massively simpler to use, but it is not fair to compare these contrivances. The Moka Express and French press are used by people who want to control every aspect of the brewing process, while a K-cup machine is for people who can't be bothered with such things.
If there is anything particularly unflattering to mention about K-cup brewers is the fact that the pods are quite expensive and wasteful. I have paid between $7.99 and $14.99 for 12 K-cup pods which works out to between $0.67 and $1.25 per 6-10 ounce cup. If you happen to be the kind of person who consumes one small cup of coffee per day, the price is not too bad. I, however, consume 40 ounces per day which works out to a coffee habit that drains $3.35-$6.25 from my pocket. This also means that I am sending five K-cups to the landfill in order for me to get my fix. Sorry Earth.

Where were you when the Canadians Won Gold?Monday, March 1st, 2010
All of us at Accent Inns are so excited and proud of all of our Canadian Athletes whether they won a medal or not.
As an avid hockey fan my question to you our viewers….where were you when the Canadians Women or Men's hockey team won Gold?
I was at home for both games and my poor wife and daughter had to put up with my loud Cheers and Jeers throughout the games ( especially at a certain 25 seconds before the end of regualtion play…).
Apparently I yelled so loud when we won that I scared the Dog and the Guinea pig both…
After the Men's team won gold it was so cool to see people on our street running out of their houses shouting and yelling and waving Canadian Flags. I know it's just a game but I can honestly say I felt such a level of pride being a Canadian at that moment. Congrats to Vancouver and Whistler and everyone who put together one great event in Vancouver 2010!

When I visited the Travel medical Clinic they forgot to do one important test – a psychiatric assessment. Nobody in their right mind would voluntarily spend 16 days walking uphill wearing hiking boots, multiple layers of clothing and a backpack until they get to a place that's really cold and there is very little oxygen! They should have an immunization to stop people doing such things.

Several members of the Hall of Fame have joined the Cowboys after having successful careers elsewhere. Conversely, some members of the Cowboys have left Dallas to play for other teams.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame ran a list of players who changed teams late in their careers. Several Cowboys appear, including:
- Herb Adderley, who left Green Bay to play his final three seasons with Dallas.
- Forrest Gregg, who played briefly in Dallas after a long career with the Packers.
- Lance Alworth, who played in Dallas for two years.
- Mike Ditka, who caught a touchdown pass in Super Bowl VI.
- Tony Dorsett, who played in Denver after a great career in Dallas.
- Bob Hayes, who played in four games with San Francisco.
Anyone notice that a certain player is missing from this list? A certain running back? A certain running back who set the NFL rushing mark for a career? A certain running back who ended his career in Arizona?
Kind of an oversight, I'd say.

Football is on everyone's mind and the Super Bowl is right there at the top; when we look at each of our neighbors, friends and of course the news we see supporters of our favorite teams. The rivalry is at the highest point of the year. We all know this, however where do our four-footed friends fit in. Well here is a clue.
We can get pet clothing and costumes at the local PetSmart (www.petsmart.com). We know they want to be right in there rooting for our favorite team. And of course the Tailgating would not be the same without our best friend. However, what do you do with them while the game is being played? If we are home (couldn't get tickets) this is not a problem. However, if we did manage to score the tickets, it is a sure bet we can't afford a kennel for them. This of course does not shine a light on how much we care for them; it simply is a sign of the financial times.
Here is a thought, if we have a great TV viewing room in our house, why not ask a friend (who couldn't get those tickets) to come over and watch the game in exchange for watching our friend. Or we could (if possible after paying for those tickets) pay for the friend watching our pet to go to one of those sports bars to watch the game. Or and here is a new idea right out of this century; if we have a family member living in one of those nice retirement villas or assisted livings, we can send our friend over to watch with the family member. (Have you seen those, the screens are state of the art and the kitchen is always fixing great food.) And here is the other part of the idea right out of this century; what about asking the family member living in the retirement or assisted living establishment to watch the pet. Then find a way to take our two legged friend with us.

Homoeopathy and Minerals
Reviewed by Frans Kusse, MD
Dr. Kusse edits Similia Similibus Curentur [review reprinted from SCC, the Dutch homeopathic journal].
When I met the ideas of Jan Scholten for the first time in December l992, I was surprised; enormous possibilities offered themselves. Now, some months later, after having had experiences with these 'new' remedies, I can speak of a fundamental revolution in homeopathic thinking. The method Jan is offering in his book seems too beautiful to be true, but it works! It is not easy to explain his method briefly, but I shall try to do so with an example from the practice of his colleagues.
February 1993.
A woman, 30 years of age, comes with a variety of complaints, such as allergy to the sun, pain in the right forehead, sciatica right, intestinal troubles, swollen and painful breasts before menses and fatigue.
Mind: she needs attention, a compliment. "I didn't dare to ask for attention and got irritated when my husband didn't say anything about my work. My mother had too little time for us and I was the one who managed. I was a 'big girl'."
The theme of 'attention' is found in the muriaticums and the 'timidity' and 'insecurity' in the calciums. The remedy: Calcium muriaticum ('desire for attention, but not daring to ask for it'). The woman was cured after the remedy.
By analyzing different minerals (calcium, natrium, phosphorus, sulphur, barium, etc.) and metals Jan has developed some essential concepts for every element. In practice it is possible to make many combinations of these concepts and so find the remedy that fits the patient.
Try to imagine what it means once we have found the essential concepts of every element of the periodic system.... Maybe that is what Kent felt when he said that all remdies could be found in one kingdom (mineral, plant or animal). The work of Arij Vrijlandt, who has studied the periodic system in his own way, has its place here.
This book gives us the beginning; now we practising homeopaths have the task of verifying and expanding this information. A huge task and a fantastic challenge.
Homoeopathy and Minerals: Reviewed by Jay Yasgur, RPh., MSc.
An interesting book has just been written by Dutch homeopath, Jan Scholten, entitled Homoeopathy and Minerals.
It concerns the mineral remedies of the homeopathic materia medica. In thirteen chapters Jan discusses and presents cases dealing with the carbonicums, muriaticums, sulphuricums, phosphoricums, barytas, the acids, ammoniums, nitricums, fluoratums, bromatums, iodatums and the ferrum group. How the author differs from others in his approach to studying these remedies is through his method of 'group analysis'.
"In group analysis we look at groups of remedies and we extract from these groups that which is common. The next step is that those symptoms will be used in the various remedies which contain that element." (Scholten, p. 23)
This is not necessarily a revelation when one considers Dixit's body of work. And yet Jan's approach is nevertheless interesting and neatly ordered. Another aspect of his approach emphasizes that patients are the ones best able to tell the practioner what is happening after they have been helped with the remedy.
Remedy themes is an important part of his approach and really to understand the essence of a remedy one needs to have a deep grasp of the group theme in which that remedy resides. For instance, there are many sub-themes to the Carbonicum group (self-worth, work ethic, meaning and values, shyness, and dignity) but Jan feels the overall theme is the father figure and that each of the Carbonicums has this thread: 'meaning, dignity, work, and social position.'
"In practice, these remedies often prove to have had problems with father figures or authorities. In Graphites the father is there, but he is separate from the family, he is always away, only loosely connected. In Nat-c. the father can be completely absent. In Mag-c. there can be a power struggle with the father or with the authorities." (Scholten, p. 38)
Vanadium, Niccolum, Cuprum, Zincum, Chromium, and Ferrum, etc. are all transition elements and are analyzed as a group in the Ferrum chapter. Though not combination remedies, these single elements can be analyzed as a group and similarities can most easily be seen in the better known Zincum, Ferrum, and Cuprum. Jan theorizes five psychological areas where these remedies find expression:
1) Forced. Here persons have feelings that they have to do something or comply to some rule. It is a compulsive feeling to fulfill some task, either driven by outside forces or inner ones.
2) Suppression. Here persons allow their emotions (feelings, thoughts, wishes) to be suppressed by outside forces. This can be expressed neurologically when physical symptoms, e.g., rashes, are suppressed, as in Cuprum and Zincum.
3) Crime. This sub-theme could also be called delusion. When one has failed to live up to something, or has done something wrong, it can be expressed in a crime. For instance, persons may feel they are being chased by the police, that they've committed a crime or they have neglected their duty. 'This theme may appear in dreams: the police, less so animals or robbers, are pursuing them. In this instance the police represent the law and patients feel they have committed a crime. Cobaltum has this particular delusion.
4) Anxiety of conscience. Great feelings of guilt and anxiety of conscience are present. Very minor faults/crimes/lies are seen as major issues to be concerned about. 5) Restlessness. Because of the pursuit issue, behavior may tend to be hurried and restless. They are unable to sit still and do nothing. Nearly all practitioners are aware of the restless feet of Zincum and, if severe, this symptom can be present in the bed.
"The above mentioned symptoms are all linked to the same basic feeling: anxiety of conscience. As soon as one of these symptoms is known in any one remedy, the rest of the picture can be built up by careful analysis." (Scholten, p. 226)
"DD bromatums: The feeling of guilt in the bromatum is different; it is more the result of their passions and their instinctive actions. In the ferrum group the guilt is a result of the fact that they haven't been able to fulfill their task, they have failed. The persecution is therefore of a different kind: the bromatums are being chased by God, the ferrums by the police.
DD kaliums: The duty consciousness of the kalium resembles that of the ferrum group. But in the kaliums the impetus comes from within themselves; they just carry out what they see to be their task. The ferrum group has to fulfill a task that has been forced upon them by someone else. That is why they feel as if they are being censored, as if they are being chased. (Scholten, p. 226)
I hope the aforementioned examples serve as 'tasty-bits,' piquing your curiosity in this well organized treatise.
Aside from these thirteen sections, Jan discusses 'Disease as Creation'. In this chapter disease is viewed in a variety of ways: as a process of 'wear and tear'; as a threat; as Original state; as talent or strategy; as illusion; as temptation; as protection; as symbol; as cultural phenomenon; as myth or fairy tale; and as creation or game. To be sure, Jan is not the originator of these strategems. As a philosophical concept, disease has been discussed and debated by many; Hahnemann, Whitmont, Eizayaga, Dhawale, Sankaran, Vithoulkas, Dixit, Joseph Campbell, and J. T. Kent, to name a few.
Jan recognizes that it is possible and perhaps essential to look at disease from these different angles. After all, if we didn't, we'd be doing a disservice to our patients. These differing views don't necessarily exclude one another although one may be more applicable at a particular time than another. Jan does feel, however, that 'disease as creation' gives the most meaning and depth to the concept of disease, for it 'brings the responsiblity, and therefore the ability, to heal, back to man himself'
Jan discusses, and hypothesizes about, little known remedies, which have few references and some which lack proving data. Calc-nit, Chlorum, Calc-mur, Kali-mur; Ammon-sulf; Ammon-phos (in fact, the entire Ammonium section is quite interesting, as is the Nitricum section), Barium-nit, Kali-nit, Nat-nit, Mag-fluor; Kali-fluor, Barium-fluor, Calc-brom, Mag-brom, Ferr-mur; Mag-iod, Nat-iod, Vanadium, Chromium and Manganum. These remedies are not well known. Jan presents case studies which makes this information all the more refreshing.
A section concerning 'times of the remedies' is included and appears to be quite comprehensive.
Though this innovative book is well laid out and organized it has no index. In reality it probably does not really need one, yet at the very least an index to the case studies would have been helpful. Another criticism is that remedy names are not capitalized or italicized. Though not a major fault it does hinder one's ability to quickly search for remedies within the text. Probably more of an annoyance is the use of a sans-serif typeface for the text of the book. I have come across a number of books and journals which use sans-serif type faces. I don't know why authors or publishers choose to use this kind of typestyle. Perhaps it is thought to be striking, different or distinctive but the problem is is that it is harder to read and the eyes tire easily. It would be just as easy to typeset text using a serif typestyle such as Times Roman. Other typestyles then could be employed to break up the ,monotony' by highlighting sections, headings, keywords, etc.
These points aside, however, Jan's treatise is provocative, timely and of interest. The psychological aspects he paints of the remedies are quite bold, much like the daubings of the expressionist painters of the first part of this century.
This is an insightful, valuable book, easy to pick up and read a few pages or chapter during the spare moments of the day. Yet it offers much to ponder and integrate.
"As mentioned before, I would hereby like to invite the reader to use the information given in this book, to apply the concepts and to
critically appraise the results. I hope that it will provide new possibilities to help your patients, particularly in those cases where it has up to now been difficult to achieve satisfactory results. It will no doubt become clear that some parts of this book can be improved. It is already clear that there is great scope for increasing our knowledge. In any case, I would very much like to hear from you.
(Scholten, p. 291)

Editor's Note:
Jan Scholten is uniquely qualified for the task he has set himself, having studied chemistry and then philosophy before beginning his medical study, which he completed in 1983. He then began the study of acupuncture and homoeopathy, along with other healing modalities. From 1985 on, he has had a fulltime classical homeopathic practice. Currently he practices alongside five other homeopathic medical doctors. He states that the material in this book has gone through much discussion with his fellow practitioners at the Homeopatische Artsencentrum in Utrecht, the Netherlands. and is undergoing the one, true test of such hypotheses in the clinical practice of each of these homeopaths. It is clearly Jan Scholten's hope that other practising homeopaths will find this material similarly useful. "In our group practice, the number of cases which can be solved using the group analysis method has proved to be 5 to 10% of the total. This is only a rough estimate, partly as the method is still being developed further. ... However, a word of caution to the beginner, who may be tempted to apply the terms too loosely: it does take time before one is used to applying the concepts with sufficient accuracy" (p 291).
In our next issue of Simillimum, we intend to publish an in-depth review and further excerpts from this meticulous and thoughtful work which, we feel, will receive, and amply reward careful study.

Currently I am a high school student and new to the natural language processing field.
I am trying to write a Java program that can provide answers that can be understood by humans to the questions that are in natural language. I have looked at Java documentation and Lynda.com site but I am afraid that I am jumping in further than I can reach.
I am learning very quickly so I might be going into the deep end. For example I know that I can use the
split function for minimal parsing but I am unsure where to move past to get actions that I require and I am not getting in enough hours per day to sit down and read all the vasts amount of information. It would be great if there was an entry point for a student like myself that I can take one section at a time.
What would be an ideal starting point in terms of CS topics (and documentation) to get myself immersed in this topic?

text: Personality Traits, Self-Employment, and Professions Volume 4 Jena Economic Research Papers 2010-11-02 2010 2007 2010-075 Entrepreneurship self-employment personality traits the Big Five professions We investigate the effect of broad personality traits—the Big Five—on an individual's decision to become self-employed. In particular, we test an overall indicator of the entrepreneurial personality. Since we find that the level of self-employment varies considerably across professions, we also perform the analysis for different types of professions, namely, those classified as being in the "creative class" as compared to the noncreative class. The analysis is based on micro data for individuals of the German Socio Economic Panel (SOEP). We find a significant association between personality traits and the propensity be become self-employed. However, the strength of this link is fairly weak and differs across professions, indicating an important effect of an individual's profession on his or her decision to run an own business. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2010-11-02T07:51:56.860Z 2010-12-17T11:54:28.671Z
