The Hundred Year Hunt For The Red Sprite (42 minutes)
Finalist, Telly Awards
Videographer Award of Excellence
Gold Award,Aurora Awards
Based upon our planetarium production of the same name, this program documents
one of the most unexpected scientific findings in the atmosphere during
the late 20th century. For over a century, people, including well respected
scientists, had reported seeing strange lights in the night sky about
thunderstorms - and they were. But it remained for a happy accident
in 1989 when the first such event was captured on a low-light cameras
video tape. One researcher exclaimed it was as if Biology had just suddenly
discovered a new human body part. Since then, an entire zoo
of luminous creatures have been found in the thin air above thunderstorms.
And the discoveries are still being made. The program also shows how the
public can become engaged in the search for new thunderstorm related electrical
phenomena.Teachers: Your students can also take the online "Sprite
Quiz" and receive their score and a certificate of completion! "....the images and graphics are extraordinary...you could watch this program forever...kept me on the edge of my seat..." Weatherwise Magazine

1050 DVD-R $14.95 plus S&H
New Orleans: The Storm That Drowned A City will present a minute-by-minute account of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. NOVA will look at what made the hurricane so deadly and analyzes how, despite technically sophisticated flood and storm defenses and advance disaster relief planning, this event has resulted in destruction on an unprecedented scale for the Gulf Coast region. The program will offer eyewitness testimony of what actually happened during the storm, along with state- of-the-art graphic descriptions of the calamity. NOVA will also examine the question of whether storms, like Katrina, are increasing in frequency and becoming more powerful and explore what economic, political, and scientific defenses are available to overcome these events. NOVA will investigate how the long-term ecology of New Orleans and the shrinking wetlands surrounding it steadily increased the city's vulnerability, and will also explain why, despite scientific improvements in the city's flood and storm defense capabilities, the protective levee system ultimately failed.
More than just an engineering story, New Orleans: The Storm That Drowned A City will investigate why- despite all the knowledge of the peril faced by New Orleans- the city was tragically unprepared when the long-feared disaster finally struck. And finally, NOVA will look to the future and ask the question- is there anything that can be done to restore New Orleans to a habitable and safer city?

In The Path of a Killer Volcano (60 minutes)
NOVA: The Philippines' Mount Pinatubo is about to blow big. Is there enough time to evacuate the hundreds of thousands in its raging path?
Stay with the scientists who remain behind- and see some astonishing footage of the world's largest volcanic eruption in 80 years. Local tribespeople were the first to see the signs. "There was a flash of light from the sky," said one. "I thought it was my time to die." The Philippines ' Mount Pinatubo was acting restless- and the volcanologists at Clark Air Force Base were starting to sweat. An angry mountain is highly unpredictable. If they misread its fits and starts, a violent explosion could send pyroclastic flow- hot, dense avalanches- roaring down its sides at 100 miles per hour, burning everyone and everything in its path. But if they ordered an evacuation and nothing happened, these experts could lose their credibility for good. With a typhoon headed in their direction, the stakes are even higher. Torrential rains turn ash and rock into hot mud flows that can bury a town in minutes. Is it time to issue a Level 4 alert- ordering hundreds of thousands to flee their homes? Stay with the courageous scientists who remain behind- and see some astonishing footage as the world's biggest eruption in 80 years really starts to blow.

Killer Quake(60 minutes)
NOVA: Relive the L.A. earthquake, and preview what it portends for California's future…
Deep below the city of Los Angeles, pressure from the Earth's mantle has created an intricate network of underground faults. Scientists have made significant progress in identifying these faults and in measuring and locating earthquakes in the area, but new faults continue to appear. The earthquake that struck the Northridge area on January 17, 1994 exposed a previously unknown fault line, and proved once again that earthquakes are nearly impossible to predict with any precision. Nonetheless, many experts believe that a serious earthquake will strike the Los Angeles area in the near future. This episode of NOVA explores the effects of the Northridge earthquake and raises questions about predicting and preparing for "The Big One."

Volcano Under the City (60 minutes)
NOVA: Will Mount Nyiragongo Obliterate This Thriving City? A team of scientists clambers down into the steep crater of an active volcano in central Africa , a lake of molten lava seething far below. The team's mission is to explore this deadly mountain up close to find out when and why it is likely to erupt next. The lives of half a million people living directly in its shadow are at stake.
In January 2002, the ground close to the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo split open and rivers of lava swept through entire neighborhoods, killing some 100 people and leaving 120,000 homeless. The volcano towering over the city, Mount Nyirangongo , had awoken again. Now French volcanologist Jacques Durieux and his team worry that, next time, deadly lava could erupt from cracks directly under the city itself. Volcano Under the City reaches a stunning climax as Durieux's team struggles to capture a sample of furiously boiling lava from the heart of the volcano. The crater walls crumble and Mount Nyirangongo belches poisonous gas as the scientists put their lives on the line to retrieve their vital data.

1035 DVD-R $14.95 plus S&H
The Hurricane of '38 (53 minutes)
It killed over 600, sank 6000 boats and destroyed 8000 structures – all without any warning. As the Depression was ending, New Englanders were thinking of war in Europe and not hurricanes – which "did not hit their part of the country." The U.S. Weather Bureau ignored the advice of the one forecaster who saw it coming, and the result was a tragedy that engulfed hundreds of thousands, including a vacationing actress named Katherine Hepburn. The quality of the amazing film footage recovered, portraying scenes both during and after the storm, is astounding, and has rarely been seen before. Though told in a narrative form by focusing on selected families, this DVD presents a gripping tale of what can happen when nature strikes without any alert. It places our modern day hurricane forecasting system in an entirely new perspective. Produced by WGBH as part of the American Experience Series.
1037 DVD, $14.95 plus S&H (out of print)

The DVD will entertain, but it also issues a compelling call to action to society in order to avoid the "next Katrina disaster."
1038 DVD, $14.95 plus S&H
Engineering Disasters: New Orleans (50 minutes)
Is New Orleans now safe? Have we learned from the disaster of Katrina? Apparently not. From the Modern Marvels Series produced for the History Channel, this DVD details what went wrong with the levees and how the replacement systems being engineered and constructed are not really likely to withstand much more than a Category 3 storm. Presented also are the roles played by the rapidly disappearing wetlands and barrier islands that once protected the Louisiana coast. Compelling and sobering viewing.
1039 DVD, $14.95 plus S&H
Tornado/Blizzard (80 minutes)

Holland 1953: Assault of the Sea (50 minutes)
Over 1800 drowned and more than 250,000 were left homeless as a powerful storm caused the ocean to overflow into a heavily populated below-sea-level region. New Orleans in 2005? No, Holland in 1953. An intense 1-in-500 year North Sea storm caused Holland's famous but war damaged and poorly maintained dikes to fail, resulting in a Katrina-style tragedy. Gripping footage shows the many sad parallels with the Crescent City, but also some startling differences. Once communication links were restored, aid was swift and effective. And the dikes and dams now protecting the Netherlands are designed to withstand a one-in-10,000 year storm. The DVD was produced for The Wrath of God series created for The History Channel.

In a manner reminiscent of the days that President George W. Bush used to put his foot into his mouth on a regular basis, Governor Rick Perry today followed suit and equaled Bush's most offensive bumblers at the infamous Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. Perry drew analogies between homosexuality and alcoholism, stating that if a person has a genetic predisposition to alcoholism, that he or she still has a choice whether or not to become an alcoholic. Perry said that the same principle holds true for someone who has a genetic predisposition to homosexuality, according to ABC News on Thursday.
Without providing any suggestions as to what a homosexual is supposed to do about his or her feelings, Perry has implied that abstention is the only avenue available to gays. The further implication is that gays don't deserve to love or be loved, should not express themselves sexually as do heterosexuals, and are devoid of the most basic and sacrosanct rights promised to every American, namely the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Perry's comments go well beyond the issue of gay marriage that is being debated throughout the country. Perry's comments reflect a lingering homophobia and gay bashing attitude that still is manifest in many southern states such as Texas: 1)Homosexuality is a mental disorder. 2) Homosexuality is a sin. 3) Homosexuality is something that needs to be cured with "reparative therapy."
It was totally abhorrent that Perry made his comments in America's most gay friendly city and that he made the comments to San Francisco's long established and well respected Commonwealth Club. Not only were his comments an insult to the People of San Francisco and the members of the Commonwealth Club, but they were a profuse indicator of Perry's total and unequivocal ignorance of the culture and social and political beliefs of the People of San Francisco, the Bay Area and Northern California. It is hard to find an analogy that fits Perry's stupidity. "Bull in the China shop?," well not exactly, "Ugly American?," perhaps, but this audience were Americans too. "Slimy Texan?," well it works, but he has to stand in line behind a whole host of other notoriously slimy Texas politicians throughout history. How about the analogy that the late Governor Ann Richards (D,Tx) used to refer to George W. Bush: "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a sliver foot in his mouth."
He may not have a silver foot, but he he has a broken political barometer with a cracked gauge. If Perry is so politically naive as to denigrate gays in the most gay-friendly city in America while trying to gain support for his Presidential race in 2016, it is anyone's guess as to what he may do next. San Franciscans have a common, sad memory of the assassination of their first openly gay city supervisor in 1977, Harvey Milk. When one thinks of how Perry could have said something kind and benevolent about Milk's memory and legacy, instead of expressing his ignorance, homophobia and hatred, it is mind boggling. A person with Perry's insensitivity, hatred and total lack of social consciousness does not belong in politics and most likely will have to wait a long time before being invited to the Commonwealth Club again. If he is the best that the Republicans can come up with, then we don't have anything to worry about as this commentator sees it.
The 2016 election already is unveiling a very interesting scenario that is yet to be played out. We will be watching and reporting on it every step of the way.

This article is a prime example of what law enforcement and intelligence agencies will do to you if they think they can get away with it. This is precisely why we need to hold their feet to the fire every step of the way and defend the Bill of Rights at all costs. The more you look under the surface, the more it becomes clear that our government considers anyone that protests the oligarchy to be their enemy. This was made clear when we discovered that The FBI Classifies Peaceful American Protestors as "Terrorists."
From the always excellent EFF:
Last month the San Francisco District Attorney's office went on a fishing expedition. After EFF and ACLU got involved, the DA wisely cut bait.
The fishing expedition cut short by the DA last week consisted of a pair of subpoenas issued to Twitter, seeking tweets, photos, and a trove of other information related to the accounts of two activists, Robert Donohoe and Lauren Smith, whom the SF DA has charged with a number of offenses stemming from a Columbus Day anti-capitalist protest.
Not only did the subpoenas to Twitter violate federal law (the Stored Communications Act makes clear that the government cannot use a subpoena to gain access to the content of communications), but they violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution as well. Government surveillance of what we say—even in public—has a chilling effect on speech. That is why courts have held that any effort to compel the disclosure of a person's communications or associations must be narrowly tailored.

Oprah gives some pretty great advice on men for the ladies out there... so good I felt it was article worthy. Everything she said made sense, but a few things truly stuck out to me;
- Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job.
- Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
- A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
So, it's no big secret that the Masculine has been running the show here for a while now... and I think it is TRULY important we come into balance. Particularly regarding not lifting men up onto pedestals. YES. your man might be AMAZING at MANY things he does, and that is GREAT! Support him, show him you love him, etc.... but to make him great than your needs or yourself because of his accomplishments is bogus. And let's be real, any man worthy of all that praise would never allow you to place yourself below him, he would make sure that he was felt right there standing next to you, bowing down to you as well, in honor and support of his woman.
With the insane rise and glorification of "Celebrity Status" in this day and age, we are dangerously basing our relationship and life ideals on our visions/versions of people that we have created based on what they put out to the world... is this a true valid reflection of who they are that is worthy of notoriety and praise IF they are doing great work? No doubt! BUT! does it define who and how they are in a relationship? I'm gonna have to say NOT. The fact that the man cares about children in third world countries is not just heart touching, its COMPLETELY endearing and amazing, but does not make him the perfect specimen if you can't get him to pay any attention or show any love to your children in this country. There has to be balance, we have to be realistic, and we have to love ourselves enough first.
Give credit where it's due, and take things for what they are worth.
Read the rest of what Oprah has to say about men here;
Advice from Oprah About Men
~ Advice from Oprah about men ~
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".
A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behaviour. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job.
Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending... compromise is two way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...
There is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complimentary... not supplementary.
Dating is fun... even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him – he takes it for granted.
Never move into his mother's house.
Never co-sign for a man.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other women... You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare.
Happy Monday! Xo

Women's Day Celebrates 30 years at Penn State Fayette
Since 1981, women have gathered at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus to enjoy a day of motivation, personal growth and laughter at the annual Women's Day on Campus. This year, Women's Day turns 30-years-old and will be held Thursday, May 19, from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the campus' Community Center.
The featured speaker for the 2011 Women's Day is award-winning humorist Dan Bain. In 1994, Bain was inducted into the world of comedy when coworkers asked him to emcee a company party. Since these humble beginnings, Bain has entertained crowds at Fortune 50 corporate events, national conferences and a taping of "Wheel of Fortune." Bain's work has been published in several well known collections including "Chicken Soup for the Soul" and "America's Funniest Humor." In the past four years, he has written "Bain's Beat," a humor column for Raleigh's Midtown Magazine.
This year's Women's Day workshops include: "G.I. Issues for Women," a discussion about various digestive problems that ail women, presented by gastroenterologist Dr. Raji Balu; "The Estate Planning Needs of Women," presented by Linda Cordaro, Esquire, that offers a look at the estate planning concerns that are common to most women; and "Keep on gardening…until you're planted!," a workshop that looks at how to make gardening an activity that can be enjoyed by people throughout their life, presented by home gardener, master gardener and garden writer Susan Brimo-Cox.
More than 30 local agencies and businesses will take part in the Community Service and Informational Fair. Women's Day participants can gather information about services and volunteer opportunities from the participating organizations.
Women's Day Committee Chair Tina Reed says, "For the past 29 years, Women's Day has been a very popular and important event on many women's spring calendars. I think the popularity stems from the fact the event not only offers much to enjoy, learn and celebrate, but it also has very uplifting and engaging speakers as well as informative workshops. In addition, the women who visit the Community Service and Informational Fair walk away with a lot of information about volunteer opportunities and services from the participating agencies and businesses."
Registration for Women's Day is required and participation is limited. Registration by May 13 is $20; after May 13 is $25. For more information or to register, call 724-430-4144.

Anaphylaxis is a type of allergic reaction that can kill in seconds.
As allergies are on the increase Buzz explores whether young women know enough about the dangers of allergies.[clear]
In a café a group of friends sat eating desserts. They laughed and chatted, doing all the things a normal group of girlfriends do on a shopping trip to their local town. At the ages of seventeen and eighteen the animated conversation probably surrounded boys and departures to university the following year.
What none of these girls knew was that in a matter of hours one of their best friends would be gone forever. The choice of dessert one of them made in that café would lead to her death on arrival home as she went into a severe allergic reaction.
Sarah Reading died in her garden in front of her parents and friends at the age of seventeen. Her father David, sitting in the study of his Surrey home, recalled the moment it happened. He pointed out of the window to the grass and nodded.
"She died just there actually. It was so sudden she just collapsed, we didn't really understand what was happening and before the ambulance came she was gone."
"Sarah knew she was allergic to peanuts but at the time she didn't know how serious it could be. I wasn't with her so I wouldn't have known exactly what happened but clearly she ate it [peanuts] and strangely she got all the way home without any symptoms."
The lack of knowledge surrounding anaphylaxis is one of its biggest dangers and although Sarah knew she had a slight allergy, she, her friends and family did not know how serious it could be. That was twenty years ago but not a lot has changed.
It can happen to anyone
A small mistake with a choice of food or split second encounter with an insect or animal could mean the end of a young life. Those who suffer from anaphylaxis can go into what is known as anaphylactic shock, which can take a life in minutes. Most of us wouldn't know what to do. This kind of reaction can kill a person in front of you. Just like Sarah.
But this doesn't have to be the case. You could save your friend's life just by having more knowledge about what Anaphylaxis is and how you could help when a person is having an allergic reaction.
What made Sarah's death so scary was the delayed reaction which can sometimes happen with anaphylaxis. At the time of his daughter's death, David knew nothing of the reaction like many people but he has sought out to change this.
David helped to form and set up the Anaphylaxis Campaign, an organisation which supports sufferers and informs the public about the risks of severe allergies. Its formation came almost immediately after Sarah's death. David was at a loss for what to do and knew the information needed to be out there.
The Anaphylaxis Campaign has helped to introduce stricter food labeling and is responsible for many of the warnings we see on food every day. They found that GPs too needed to be educated and two decades on doctors are well versed at identifying allergies and also the testing, treatment and support they can offer.
"Sarah may have died twenty years ago but a death as sudden and unexpected as Sarah's could still happen to anyone today. We have done so much and come so far since 1994 at the Anaphylaxis Campaign but there are still a large amount of people who don't know enough about anaphylaxis."
David's work landed him an OBE in 2005. He sees the knowledge held by those around an allergy sufferer as important as what they know themselves.
"Young women who are leaving home, heading off to university or living away from their parents are at a high risk that does not get mentioned enough. Pretending you don't have an allergy through embarrassment or lack of caring is almost as bad as not knowing you have one."
One of the first things David suggests a young woman, who suffers from Anaphylaxis or severe allergies, should do is make sure her friends know about her allergies. Prevention of interaction with an allergy are important as well as knowing what to do when things go wrong.
Sarah herself did not know how serious her allergy was so of course neither did her friends but either prevention or preparation, along with original knowledge of the condition, could have saved her life.
Another danger of anaphylaxis is the assumption that allergies are only experienced by children. Anguished parents sit on news programme sofas trying to raise awareness of their child's fight against peanuts or pets. But once these children grow into adults who should care about them?
Simply, allergy sufferers need to tell their friends. As their friends, you need to listen and learn about anaphylaxis.
Its all about the protection…
Taking the time to know and learn about how you could help someone can seem tedious, but this is not the same as doing a first aid course. A serious allergic reaction can be successfully controlled in under a minute and learning how to do this can take under ten.
All you need to know is how to use an adrenaline pen. Epipens and Jexts are the two main types in circulation and come with clear instructions printed on the side. You remove the caps on each end, place against the side of the person's thigh, press the button and hold for 10 seconds. It is that simple.
Remember if your friend does go into an allergic reaction call an ambulance whether you are able to administer the adrenaline or not.[clear]
…and prevention
But better than all of this is knowing how not to get to that stage. Next time you put out a bowl of peanuts at a party think again.
Another organisation which strives to support sufferers and their families is Allergy UK, who do not just focus on Anaphylaxis but on all forms of allergies and intolerances. Their Deputy CEO, Lindsey McManus, said that the key to a young woman still leading a fully normal lifestyle is to have a "management plan".
Lindsey also agreed that young women are particularly vulnerable when it comes to having serious allergies as they can lose sight of how at risk they are.
"Having a management plan is extremely important. It provides crucial information about the allergy sufferer to those responsible for their care and wellbeing."
Allergy UK is aiming to make schools aware of these management plans so staff can know how to deal with a child's allergies. But this always apply to young adults… she also explained how this can apply to young adults, such as students in halls of residence.
"Explaining to friends about your allergy, what can happen and how to deal with it can help them feel more at ease, and give the allergy sufferer confidence that would know what to do in an emergency situation."
Lindsey said some people find having an allergy embarrassing especially eczema. But they have to overcome the embarrassment with anaphylaxis as it is important for young women to realise how serious they can be.[clear]
Make sure you and your friends know enough
In a recent survey conducted by Buzz, 55% of women aged between eighteen and thirty agreed that allergies posed a serious threat to a person's life or health, which of course they do. Yet only a third would know what to do if a person was having a severe allergic reaction.
Reassuring your friends is important too as this can be quite scary. If you're confident they will be too.
Rosanna, from Cornwall, suffers from Idiopathic Anaphylaxis – this form of anaphylaxis has an unknown trigger.
"I was embarrassed when I was younger but now I'm 22 and see how important it is to be mature about it all. My friends who I house share with know what to do if I have an allergic reaction even if I will never know what caused it."
Rosanna may not be able to stick to a management plan but knowing how to cope when she has a reaction is of the utmost importance.
"At the very least, friends should be able to use adrenaline pens as they are key to saving a person's life. Maybe one day it will just be common knowledge."
Knowing what to do can save someone's life and that someone could just be your best friend. So learn what your friends are allergic to, try your best to help them avoid their allergies and, just in case, learn how to use their adrenaline pen.[clear] [clear]

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
Weird Tomatoes
by Jack Ruttle
There is an avalanche of tomato varieties becoming available to American gardeners. Twenty years ago our choices were much simpler. Tomatoes were basically round, red and available in three sizes -- small, medium or large. There were still a few gold and pink varieties around, but these seemed to be fading into history as the tomato-buying public voted with their wallets: "Give us round and red!"
Even the highest tides are bound to change. Inevitably, people tire of what they once craved and look for something that's new. And when they began looking for new tomatoes, they found a rich assortment of colors and shapes. Marvelously striped bicolors, purples, brick reds, creamy whites and even improbable chocolates and weird greens. There were cherry tomatoes scarcely bigger than peas and huge ribbed things shaped like pumpkins, plus pepper-shaped tomatoes, sausage-shaped tomatoes and monstrous, heart-shaped fruits.
You can find diversity like this in other vegetables: squash, corn, dry beans and peppers certainly. But none of those are so dearly loved by so many American gardeners or as simple to grow. And none are easier to save your own seed from than tomatoes, which tend to be self-pollinated and produce huge amounts of seed in a single fruit.
When the round-and-red-weary first went looking, they found the truly unusual in the backyards of other gardeners who had been saving their own seed for years, even across generations. These varieties became available by mail first through the Seed Savers Exchange and soon afterward from some small seed companies that began to specialize in heirlooms. (An heirloom vegetable is one that is open-pollinated and at least 50 years old.) More varieties appeared when travelers, plant hunters and correspondents began actively collecting varieties from all over the world, especially Europe and countries in the former Soviet bloc.
Today almost any seed catalog will have at least one or two of the best heirlooms. There is even one company -- Tomato Growers Supply -- that offers virtually nothing but tomatoes, though it recently expanded to include peppers.


text: Hey guys, I just started mashing in this year's Chateau Jiahu. After a year away, it's back. All of the honey and grapes and hawthorne fruit is lined up on the brewing deck and is ready to go. Before starting I took a look at the Sake yeast and it is growing very will and will be ready to rip just in time. I'm really excited because I LOVE this beer! The rest of the week will bring a whole lot of 60, 90, Shelter and Raison. Our in line carbonation system is in full effect which will enable us to handle our beer in a much gentler fashion than before. We are a few short weeks away from the startup of our centrifuge as well which will help us deliver more beer to packaging which in turn will bring more beer to you. The next installment of Burton Baton is just around the corner, too. Our good friend Jesse will be brewing something at the brewpub in the near future and if all goes well, the Pale Indian Ale will go on tap this Friday. Wayne's beer, Altar Boy, is coming about a week later. So much going on. It's total madness and it feels great. Until next time... -Bryan

Circe's Power
by Louise Glück
Symbol Analysis
With all of this talk about what is real and what is an illusion, magic features largely. Circe argues that she uses her magic to expose the truth (i.e. make men who act like pigs literally look like pigs). Circe's power (title alert!) is her ability to practice magic, but there are times in this poem when her magic doesn't seem to work, and when she relies instead on words.
- Line 23: "Hold" is a pun. In this moment, "hold" means both to literally hold someone in your arms and to figuratively keep them prisoner.

Angry Birds Birthday Party! (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Calling all Angry Birds! It's time to crash the party!
My son absolutely loves Angry Birds! So for his 5th birthday party, we had a space mission to complete: to create an Angry Birds Space birthday party for his special day! We found the perfect space-themed party room in a local bounce play area with the most amazing outer space mural for a backdrop! We based the entire space-themed party around this amazing, HUGE planet mural!
Everything was created by hand - from the glittered golden eggs to the yummy dessert table treats and birthday cake to the party decorations around the room - there were also large wooden pieces on the treat table created to resemble the toppling wooden pieces from the game! Along with the party area's bounce houses and the space ball launcher room next door, guests got a chance to create their own wooden fortresses to protect their pigs from "flying birds"!
For treat bags, guests were given personalized handmade gable boxes filled with fun and delicious treats. Each guest was given an Angry Birds book to take home!
It was a wonderful party for Mat and his friends - lots of fun and laughter! Space Mission Accomplished!
