Pants will fall to the floor at Eagle's Brush Creek Pavilion when the Porchlight Players perform "The Full Monty" starting Friday, Feb. 8.
The show is a musical adaptation from the 1997 British movie of the same name. As Porchlight's third annual Valentine's Dinner Theater production, the show runs Friday through Sunday, Feb. 8-10 and Feb. 15-17. Doors open for dinner at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50 each and include dinner, dessert, three drinks (beer, wine or soft drinks) and the show.
"The Full Monty" tells the story of six men who lost their jobs at a factory to a bad economy. The Chippendales come to town, and Jerry gets the idea that if he could get some guys together, they could earn an easy $50,000 in one night if they put on a Chippendales-like show. The ladies of the town let them know that they don't have what it takes to sell tickets, so Jerry promises they'll strip down all the way - The Full Monty.
Ticket sales boom while the guys each grapple with their own fears and insecurities. None of them are completely sure they can do the show. It all comes down to the last night - will they really go The Full Monty?
Meanwhile, the back story comes down to relationships. Traditional roles are challenged as the wives are working while their husbands stay home idle. Friendships are formed through the mutual experience of unemployment and cemented by the bond of setting a goal and achieving it. Marriage survives the personal and professional failures each partner brings to it, and ultimately the men bare feelings and truths they have kept hidden for a long time.
So, will the night really end with a bunch of naked men on stage? You'll just have to see for yourself at the Brush Creek Pavilion. (Note: Even though the cast includes 13-year-old Keith Buckelew of Gypsum, parents should think twice about bringing children.)
"I think some guys will come kicking and screaming, dragged in by their wives and girlfriends, and will leave stoked - it really is more of a guy's story." said Lance Schober, who plays Malcolm, one of the would-be stripteasers.
To prepare for the inevitable, the male cast members have spent hours rehearsing in their underwear in the basement of Alpine Bank in Eagle.
"We're going through the same thing as the characters," said Bart Garton, who plays Jerry. "We're not perfect male specimens, either, and we were not psyched about stripping. At our first rehearsal, we wanted to put it off and learn the dance moves first, but the girls were like, 'No, no, no - you should start getting comfortable with this now.'"
"Rehearsing in boxers has been awkward," Schober said. "The ladies have been loving our discomfort."
Irish Boston, who plays Jerry's girlfriend, Estelle, said that has indeed been the case.
"We are enjoying the tables turning on the objectification," Boston said. "You will still see plenty of women in tight pants and short skirts, though."
Didi Doolittle, who plays Jerry's ex-wife, Pam, mentioned another role-reversal that happens in a scene where the guys are looking at women in a magazine.
"They're ranking the women based on physical attributes and it occurs to them that women will soon be looking at them in the same way, which makes them self conscious about their own looks," Doolittle said.
"It also illustrates how we can drive ourselves crazy with what we think of ourselves when no one is saying anything," Boston said.
The entire cast agreed that the show is not so much about stripping as it is about six men coming to grips with their personal problems.
"It's more about relationships and how men feel when women are bringing in the money," said Rodney Johnson, who plays another would-be stripper named Horse. "I think a lot of guys can relate to where the story is going."
Johnson hasn't acted since high school but he is a natural, Boston and Doolittle said.
"He was recruited and took to it like a fish in water," Boston said.
That's impressive, considering the first-time community theater member is one of the ones dropping trou.
"I might read the script more carefully next time," he joked.
Johnson lives and manages Los Amigos restaurant in Vail, which he said could bring some upvalley people to Eagle.
"My boss and friends already have tickets," he said.
He's known Garton for a long time and was brought on board for a specific part.
"I was type-cast," he said chuckling. "(Garton) told me it was a necessity. My mom had never heard of the movie. She asked me why I would agree to do a story about a black guy looking for a job and I tried to explain to her it wasn't about that."
Johnson's dancing is on the beat and he has a worthy singing voice but he doesn't consider himself a singer.
"There's been a lot of singing in the car on the way to work," he said.
Buckelew, the 13-year-old cast member, is another new Porchlight Player. He participated in Porchlight's summer children's theater camp for several years and Director Ann Olin asked him to play the part of Nathan during last summer's camp.
Regarding Buckelew's character, who is Jerry's son, it sounded like he could relate.
"I really don't want to see my dad strip but I'm also proud of him," he said.
In the movie, there's a character named Ethan who claims he can "walk the wall." The stunt is a backflip done by springing off a perpendicular surface.
Porchlight actor Chris Keys has been practicing the move.
"There have been some crashes," he said. "But we might do it for the show. And there might be some crashes in the show."
Either way, those who bear witness to "The Full Monty" are sure to be entertained and potentially surprised.

Easter is a very important time of year for Christians. It is the day in which they celebrate Jesus Christ rising from the dead. In order to celebrate this event, Christians hide eggs, eat candy and get a midnight visit from a bunny. But, really, where did these traditions come from? Let's find out.
The Easter Bunny
The origin of the Easter bunny isn't entirely clear. Rabbits are an ancient symbol of fertility and new life. It makes sense that a holiday which celebrates the resurrection would claim the symbol of fertility and new life to be the mammal Mascotte of the day.
The tradition was brought to the United States in the 1700s by German immigrants, who told their children that the fabled Easter Bunny brought eggs overnight, and that those Easter Eggs could be found in a nest behind the house.
Easter Eggs
Easter eggs can be linked to old pagan traditions. Eggs were used to celebrate the coming of the Spring during the pagan festivals, as the symbol of new life.
Christians took the tradition of egg celebration as a symbol for Jesus' emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Like the Pagans of old, Christians use the egg to celebrate new life – eternal life.
This tradition has spread to other egg related traditions, like easter egg hunts, parades and races.
The largest Easter Egg ever made? Standing 25 feet high and weighing more than 8,000 pounds it was built out of chocolate and marshmallow and supported by an internal steel frame.
Decorating Eggs
Decorating eggs seems to be a tradition that started even before the beginning of the thirteenth century. The story goes that eggs were a forbidden food during the Lenten season. People would decorate the eggs during the season, then celebrate on Easter Day by eating their decorated eggs.

Below surface, moon is a battered, cracked heap
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 1:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 1:59 p.m.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The moon took quite a beating in its early days, more than previously believed, scientists reported Wednesday.
This surprising new view of the moon comes from detailed gravity mapping by twin spacecraft, which slipped into orbit around the celestial body earlier this year.
Evidence of a highly fractured lunar interior just below the surface suggests that other rocky planets including Earth would have suffered similar bombardment from space rocks early in their history.
Measurements by the NASA spacecraft called Ebb and Flow also found that the moon's crust, or outermost layer, is much thinner than scientists thought — only about 25 miles thick.
The findings were presented Wednesday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco and published online in the journal Science.
Though past missions have measured lunar gravity — about one-sixth Earth's pull — Ebb and Flow are the first spacecraft dedicated to this pursuit.
To collect data, the washing machine-size spacecraft flew in formation, orbiting about 35 miles above the moon's surface. Their positions allowed them to peer deep into the moon.
The spacecraft also managed to see landforms on the moon in greater detail than before including volcanoes, basins and craters.
The mission is scheduled to end later this month when Ebb and Flow crash into the moon.

You see a 'zFP-REALNETWORKS' suspicious behavior alert in your console, against the computer that is the Sophos management server.
This special alert does not indicate a threat on your computer. It does indicate that you may have software problems that need fixing urgently.
We issued this alert to ensure that you are aware that some non-Sophos products on your network were affected by the recent Sophos false positive issue. Unless you have already fixed these products, they could be out of date and could make you subject to future vulnerabilities. We chose a suspicious behavior alert to show that this issue is a high priority.
An example of the alert is shown below.
Additionally, in the computer details of your management server, you may also see one or more 'zFP-' suspicious behavior alerts that includes non-Sophos (third-party) application names.
First seen in Sophos Endpoint Security and Control
We have provided this alert because you may have third-party applications, installed on Windows endpoint computers, which are not functioning correctly due to the recent Shh/Updater-B false positive.
If you see this alert the following must be true:
Note: Even if you have fixed some applications already, there may be others you do not know about.
An overview of the required steps is:
You need to run a batch file which will create a text file listing computers that could have non-Sophos applications that are affected by the shh/Updater-B false positive.
Open this article on the on your management server, or the server that hosts the Sophos SQL Server instance and follow step one to four below.
fpdf.bat > FpActionedFiles.txt
You will now have a text file called FpActionFiles.txt that list workstation computers. You can use this list in sections 2 and, if required, section 3.
To fix non-Sophos applications on endpoint computers follow steps one to three below.
The steps are designed to be repeated locally on each endpoint computer mentioned in the FpActionFiles.txt file. Therefore you may want to copy the tool and instructions onto a USB pen (or similar device) that you can then use when visiting each workstation. If there are a large number of affected computer you should see the links to further articles on how to deploy the tool across a network.
Note: You should run the tool with administrative rights.
Sophos Fix Script log.txt
Sophos Fix Log_[TIMESTAMP].txt
Should you need to contact Sophos Technical Support you should submit these logs to allow us to resolve your issue quicker.
If your anti-virus cleanup settings did not delete any files (see 'Need to check your Anti-Virus settings?' section for confirmation), no further action is necessary.
Tip: We have produced the following articles to cover different methods that can be used to deploy the tool across your network:
If you discover that some third-party applications are still not functioning correctly, and you have followed the instructions above, then the alerts were most likely not listed in the database. Hence the computers listed in the FpActionFiles.txt file was not a full list of all affected computers.
In this situation we recommend you run the FixIssues.exe tool on all your endpoint computers. See the list of different methods of deployment in the section above.
You only need to follow this section if your anti-virus cleanup settings deleted files. If you have not already done so, watch the video in the 'Need to check your Anti-Virus settings?' section if in doubt.
If your anti-virus settings did delete files: Use the links below for instructions on recovering each application identified.
Note: If you have already used the FixIssues tool from Sophos, you have restored any files that were moved. You only need to follow these instructions if your anti-virus cleanup settings deleted files.
Other alerts that may be present in your console include:
If you are still having issues or the above steps do not resolve the application you may find more help on this SophosTalk thread: Shh/Updater-B: remediating third party applications.
Every comment submitted here is read (by a human) but we do not reply to specific technical questions. If you need technical support please post a question to our community. Alternatively for licensed products open a support ticket.

No. 4: "Rear Window"
Ah yes, "Rear Window" ... wait ... what?
Yeah. "Rear Window" is a great summer movie. Even though there aren't gun battles, space ships, horny teenagers, or jive talking robots, this movie is a great way of reintroducing some class into your summer movie repertoire.
In it, Jimmy Stewart plays a photographer who is stuck at home with a broken leg, left to voyeuristically watch his neighbors in the midst of a hot and humid of a New York summer. And what does he see? Murder.
One of the things that makes the movie so great is the painstaking attention to detail. While the main action is going on with Stewart, the lives of his neighbors are going on around him.
Technically, this movie, released Aug. 1, 1954, came out two decades before the notion of a "summer movie" even existed, but it is a marvelous film, and worth your time.

Three University of Alabama-related companies in Launchpad competition
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 11:59 p.m.
Three start-up companies affiliated with the University of Alabama are among the 10 start-up companies from across the state that were selected this week to compete in the second 2013 Alabama Launchpad Start-Up Competition.
Twenty-seven start-ups applied for the competition and a five-judge panel chose the 10 after reviewing submitted applications.
The 10 teams now will compete for up to $100,000 in award money that will be used to further develop their company.
Alabama Launchpad is in its seventh year. Its purpose is to help innovative ventures that have the potential to create and keep jobs in Alabama grow into businesses in the state.
The UA-affiliated companies in the competition are:
- Bidsters: An online interactive database in which construction industry businesses can display their information to get connected with others in the industry and communicate with them all in one place. Its team leader is Ben Bickerstaff and the company is based in Tuscaloosa.
- e-Electricity: A telecommunications company that is developing wireless harvesting, allowing for mobile devices to recharge wirelessly, without the need to plug-in to a power outlet, which it said is a tremendous advantage for individuals who are always "on the go" or traveling. Its team leader is Sloan McCrary and the company is based in Tuscaloosa.
- Surface Integrity LLC: A medical devices and equipment research and development company that develops custom surfaces for a wide variety of industries and applications, including controlling the surface of degradable metal implants by surface treatments. Its team leader is Michael Sealy and the company is based in Hoover.
This is the first year Alabama Launchpad has two competitions in the same year.
Alabama Launchpad is financed by business, the state and seven state universities. Its judges are entrepreneurs, investors and corporate stakeholders.
The 10 startups will now present business plans to the judges by June 30 and will make their first pitch presentations before the judges on July 12. The competition's finale will be Sept. 26 at the third annual Alabama Launchpad Innovation and Entrepreneurship Conference in Hoover.

A Police Department news release said officers were sent to a home on Pratt Lane about 11:25 p.m. Monday after someone reported the resident there was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and had threatened to commit suicide. The release said the man had sent a text to his wife of his intentions.
When officers arrived, they "established a perimeter around the residence" and tried to make contact with the 25-year-old resident.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts to make contact with him, the Police Department's Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) "was activated and responded to the scene," according to the release.
SWAT team members evacuated residents from nearby houses.
Officers continued to attempt to call the resident on the phone and when efforts failed, a Police Department negotiator talked to him using a public address system. A few minutes after 4 a.m. Tuesday, the resident came outside and was taken into police custody, the release said.
Officers went inside and recovered an AK-47 rifle and two loaded magazines. The resident was taken to Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge where he was evaluated in the emergency room. No charges are expected to be filed in this incident.
Beverly Majors can be contacted at (865) 220-5514.

THIS gives me a distinct sense of schadenfreude:
The Republican Party's road map for winning presidential elections looks hazier than ever as GOP lawmakers and others reject what many considered obvious lessons from Mitt Romney's loss last year.
House Republicans are rebelling against the key recommendation of a party-sanctioned post-mortem: embrace "comprehensive immigration reform" or suffer crippling losses among Hispanic voters in 2016 and beyond.
Widespread rejection of warnings from establishment Republicans goes beyond that, however. Many activists say the party simply needs to articulate its conservative principles more skillfully, without modifying any policies, even after losing the popular vote ...

- Echo 1 Never DisappointsThis gun, in short, is amazing. My friend bought one telling me it was amazing. I thought, "Oh well. I'll just destroy him with my Sig 556." I got into a firefight with him, and within a minute, I realized that our guns did not compare. His was the much superior weapon. Superior in speed, accuracy, rate of fire... everything. Not to waste too much time on sentiments, let's move the list form.
10 inch free float rail (always nice for accuracy's sake)
Battery included is a 9.6 volt vs. an 8.4 (provides a very handsome rof and life)
Crane stock is of the very best quality, made of high-end polymer
Will launch a .25g bb at about 400 FPS
Iron sights included are amazing
Selector switch is definitive in selection
NO issues with the mag well; nice definitive click when mag is in
Trademarks look great
Comes stock with a Madbull hop-up bucking
Crane stock knobs have a tendency to fall of (nothing a little tweaking won't fix)
Body is plastic... but I don't see this one ever breaking unless very much abused
Overall, I was extremely impressed with this gun. For the price, you're definitely getting a good deal. Forget the Combat Machine, I'm using this baby from now on
- This gun is accurate and powerful!This gun is incredibly accurate! I can shoot a five inch circle at 150 feet.
I can accurately shoot a 10 inch circle at 200 feet.
I took five shots each for both of those targets and hit the target each time.
So besides this gun being accurate it is also powerful. I hit my brother with it five times at more than 150 feet and he has had welts for several days now because of it!
Now there is one con with this gun. And that is there are two plastic pieces that are supposed to hold the nunchuck batteries in place. Unfortunately they come out way to easily. There is a way to keep them in though. I just put super glue on the tabs and but them in. They have yet to come out again. I would recommend this gun to everyone.

Bailey McCann, Opalesque New York:
The US Treasury and IRS have issued their final rules and guidance on the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Alternative investment firms and their lawyers have been eagerly awaiting the finalization of the law which has seen some delays. The proposed regulations make additions and clarifications to previously issued FATCA regulations and provide guidance to coordinate FATCA rules with preexisting due diligence, reporting, and withholding requirements under other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
A critical part of FATCA requires all of the other countries in the world to make agreements with the IRS as it concerns tax reporting for US persons or US firms abroad. The United States has signed agreements with 22 countries, and many more have either reached agreements in substance that are awaiting signature, or are well along in the process. Having this number of countries on board is notable as the law has faced steep resistance from both foreign governments and foreign banks citing extraterritorial overreach.
The new list of guidance contains over 50 specific items based on feedback received during the recent public comment period. Sources affiliated with Treasury and the IRS say they feel like this package marks the final big push for implementation. Much of the new guidance clears up discrepancies in the law as written on areas like required documentation and withholding requirements.

The small bottles of dried herbs I walked by at the grocery store the other day reminded me (again) how they hardly compare to fresh herbs.
I know manufacturers do their best to preserve as much flavour as possible, but it's a bit like trying to trap lightning in a bottle. It just isn't gonna happen. The only way to capture the lightning is to buy fresh or to grow your own. If you're hesitant about growing herbs, don't be. Start with a few of your favourites and keep them in great shape with the five S's: Sun, soil, space, solution and snip. Let me explain.
First and foremost, sunlight is critical for growing high-quality herbs. Most culinary herbs are indigenous to the Mediterranean where sunlight is abundant. So it's not surprising that herbs produce the best flavours when bathed in six hours (or more) of direct sunlight per day. Basil is a bit of an anomaly, because our hot afternoon sun tends to diminish the size of the basil leaves and make them a bit tough. Direct sunlight from morning until noon, followed by bright, indirect sunlight in the afternoon seems to be the best compromise for basil.
You don't need to be told that soil is essential for keeping plants healthy, but you do need to know that herbs are a bit particular about the type of soil they grow in. As mentioned, many herbs originated in the Mediterranean where they grew in sandy, porous soils. It's best to put herbs in pots or planters with well-drained potting soil, which reduces the odds of them succumbing to stem and root rot. Use a highquality potting soil that's pH balanced, disease free and contains coarse-fibred peat moss, as well as large pieces of perlite.
For herbs to grow vigorously, they need adequate space. Without vigorous roots and top growth, you won't get optimum development of essential oils - responsible for much of a herb's flavour. It's OK to combine a variety of herbs in a planter, provided there's plenty of room for each to grow. But be aware that some herbs are more aggressive than others. Most mints, for instance, will dominate a small container in pretty short order, whereas basil is more docile and can easily be crowded out by mint. For the herbs such as mint, a dedicated pot is not a bad idea.
The fourth S, solution, refers to fertilizing and watering. Most herbs don't like the soil to be too wet. To test if they need watering, stick your finger into the potting soil (up to your first knuckle) and if it's dry, water; if not, don't. When it comes to fertilizing, my advice is to stay away from blue, watersoluble fertilizers. They're perfectly fine fertilizers, but I don't like to see blue stains on my herb foliage. Instead, use organic or organic-based fertilizers, which don't have dye and give the herbs a shot once a week to keep them growing vigorously.
Finally, when you want to harvest, only snip off new growth. This harvest method encourages herbs to produce new side shoots. If you take deep cuttings from a herb, such as basil, it will struggle to recover. By snipping, you'll be pleased to see how quickly new growth emerges.
The great thing about herbs is that they're not difficult to grow and, once you've tasted them fresh, it's tough to go back to the bottled versions. In fact, I think dried herbs should only be used for emergencies, like when your cousins (twice removed on your mother's side, whom you met once when you were 12) show up unexpectedly and you feel obliged to cook supper for them. Ideally, keeping the fresh herbs for yourself means your surprise guests will be gone in a flash, just like lightning.

Margaret Thatcher, Iron Lady, dead at 87
Published: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 8:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 8:47 a.m.
LONDON (AP) — Margaret Thatcher, the combative "Iron Lady" who infuriated European allies, found a fellow believer in Ronald Reagan and transformed her country by a ruthless dedication to free markets in 11 bruising years as prime minister, has died. She was 87 years old.
Milestones in the life of Margaret Thatcher
Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — Milestones in the life and career of Britain's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher:
Oct. 13, 1925: Born at Grantham, central England.
June 1947: Graduates from Oxford with a chemistry degree.
Dec. 13, 1951: Marries Denis Thatcher, a wealthy oil executive.
Aug. 15, 1953: Gives birth to twins, Mark and Carol.
June 1, 1954: Qualifies as a lawyer.
Oct. 8, 1959: Elected to Parliament.
June 20, 1970: Becomes education secretary.
Feb. 11, 1975: Elected leader of the Conservative Party.
May 3, 1979: Wins national elections, becomes prime minister.
June 9, 1983: Wins second term.
June 11, 1987: Wins third term.
Jan. 3, 1988: Becomes Britain's longest continuously serving prime minister of 20th century.
Nov. 22, 1990: Announces resignation after party revolt.
Nov. 28, 1990: John Major succeeds her as prime minister.
June 26, 1992: Becomes Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven, a member of the unelected House of Lords with a lifetime title.
March 22, 2002: Ends public speaking after suffering a series of small strokes.
June 26, 2003: Her husband, Sir Denis Thatcher, dies.
April 8, 2013: Dies of stroke.
Her former spokesman, Tim Bell, said that the former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher had died Monday morning of a stroke.
To her fervent admirers, battling Maggie was an icon, a national savior who ended Britain's post-World War II cycle of confrontation and decline — eclipsed as a 20th-century British leader only by Winston Churchill.
Her vehement critics, however, saw her as a bellicose figure at home and abroad, a destroyer of industries and, with it, a way of life.
She was a sharply divisive figure even within her Conservative Party, especially on the issue of European integration; the party declined into a bickering shambles after she fell from power.
Between 1979 and 1990, her governments sold a string of nationalized industries into private ownership, crushed the once-mighty labor unions, defeated Argentina in the Falkland Islands war and preached military readiness to the Western alliance.
"We have raised Britain in the respect of the world from what it was — broke, bankrupt, unwilling to defend itself properly," Thatcher declared in 1987. "We have, I think, transformed Britain."
Thatcher's years in power overlapped Reagan's two terms as president, and her support for the American leader and her agreement with his world view never wavered. It was a political union of opposites: Thatcher had none of Reagan's disarming charm, and he lacked her appetite for hard work and devotion to detail.
The grocer's daughter became Europe's first female prime minister in 1979, four years after the Conservative Party surprised itself by making her its leader. Typically, she jumped into the leadership race while more prominent male colleagues dithered, and then proved unstoppable.
Thatcher led the Tories to a landslide victory in 1979, followed by easy wins in 1983 and 1987.
She loved the jokes claiming she beat her all-male Cabinet ministers with her handbag, and reveled in being the "Iron Lady," a nickname coined by the Soviet press.
At home, she sold huge, loss-making state-owned companies, from Jaguar to national utilities to British Airways. Many became profitable.
For the employed majority of Britons, living standards rose dramatically, but the gap widened between the well-off and the poor.
The late Peter Jenkins, a leading liberal political commentator throughout the Thatcher years, once wrote that she had "changed the political map and put her country on its feet again."
"She did all this with ruthlessness and much injustice and at a high cost in human misery, but she did it," he said.
Margaret Hilda Roberts was born Oct. 13, 1925, in the central England town of Grantham, the younger daughter of Beatrice and Alfred Roberts, a strict Methodist and pillar of the local community. Throughout her life, she espoused his values of hard work and thrift.
She earned a science degree at Oxford University, working for a time as a research chemist before switching to law and becoming a barrister — a lawyer who argues cases in court.
In 1951, she married Denis Thatcher, a wealthy businessman 11 years her senior. Their children, twins Mark and Carol, were born in 1953.
She called Denis, who died June 26, 2003, her rock and her great support. He paid for the nannies and private boarding schools which gave her the freedom to make a political career.
Thatcher was elected to Parliament in 1959, the youngest of 25 women in the House of Commons, representing Finchley in north London.
As education secretary in the 1970-74 government of Prime Minister Edward Heath, newspapers dubbed her "Thatcher Milk Snatcher" when she ended free milk for schoolchildren.
Her big chance came in 1975 when the Tories dumped Heath. Thus began what a biographer, the late Hugo Young, called "an era in which an ordinary politician, laboring under many disadvantages, grew into an international figure who did some extraordinary things to her country."
She marked her course clearly. "A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master, they are the essence of a free economy, and on that freedom all our other freedoms depend," she said in a speech in 1975.
Her ascension to prime minister came in May 1979 on a wave of popular disgust at high inflation, garbage-strewn streets and a series of public sector strikes under the Labour Party government of James Callaghan.
When her popularity was at a low ebb in 1982, Argentina invaded the Falklands Islands. Spurning negotiation, she dispatched warships to the remote south Atlantic archipelago.
"Rejoice! Rejoice!" she exclaimed after British Marines retook South Georgia island. The surge of national pride that followed Britain's victory carried her triumphantly through the 1983 national elections, a victory aided by a Labour Party torn apart by years of infighting.
Even detractors admired her courage.
After surviving an Irish Republican Army bomb that killed five people at the Conservatives' 1984 convention, Thatcher brushed off the dust of her shattered Brighton hotel suite and, hours later, made her keynote speech on cue.
She never faltered, in word or deed, in her support of the United States. In 1986, she allowed U.S. warplanes to fly from British bases to bomb Libya. She sent ships, tanks and troops to fight against Iraq in the first Gulf War, but had resigned before the battle was joined in 1991.
Thatcher was one of the first to spot Mikhail Gorbachev as a promising leader of the Soviet Union. "I like Mr. Gorbachev, we can do business together," she said after their first meeting in Britain in 1984.
Three months later, Gorbachev became the Soviet leader.
In her memoirs, Thatcher said of Gorbachev: "I spotted him because I was searching for someone like him. And I was confident that such a person could exist, even within that totalitarian structure, because I believed that the spirit of the individual could never ultimately be crushed in the Kremlin any more than in the Gulag."
Thatcher sat next to Gorbachev at Reagan's funeral, and in a taped eulogy spoke of the personal dynamics of the era of "perestroika."
"I cannot imagine how any diplomat, or any dramatist, could improve on (Reagan's) words to Mikhail Gorbachev at the Geneva summit: 'Let me tell you why it is we distrust you.' Those words are candid and tough and they cannot have been easy to hear. But they are also a clear invitation to a new beginning and a new relationship that would be rooted in trust," she said.
Though Thatcher's Conservatives won re-election in 1987, the fall of the Iron Curtain deprived her of a key role as the scourge of communism, and she could appear out of touch with the times. She opposed the unification of Germany in tones that suggested the Nazi era was not forgiven, and her opposition to the growing influence of the European Union became more strident and nationalistic.
Thatcher had often seemed at odds with her own government's policy of developing European integration, and the issue became her downfall in 1990 when Conservative legislators were feeling a panic over the government's low opinion poll ratings.
In November of that year, she fell short of winning re-election as Tory leader on the first ballot of Conservative legislators. "I fight on. I fight to win," she said. But, persuaded that the party had abandoned her, she resigned.
"The people who brought about that incident are responsible for the biggest defeat the Conservative Party has ever had," she said after Tony Blair's Labour Party ended 18 years of Tory rule in 1997. "It was catastrophic for me because I got things right."
Blair's "New Labour" government, ironically, became part of her formidable legacy. The once-socialist Labourites moved to the center with echoes of Thatcherism — from preserving Britain's nuclear deterrent to telling single mothers on welfare to find work.
Out of power, Lady Thatcher, named a baroness in 1992, made regular and lucrative U.S. lecture tours, and founded the Thatcher Foundation to spread her free-market philosophy.
Europe remained an obsession. In her book, "Statecraft," published in 2002, she described the European Union as "perhaps the greatest folly of the modern era" and wrote that most of the 20th century's greatest problems — including Nazism and Marxism — originated on the continent.
Her speechmaking ended that year, when she heeded doctors' advice to slow down after a series of small strokes.
Thatcher hardly ever admitted any regrets, but in a 1998 interview with the British magazine Saga she said she rarely saw her children or grandchildren.
"It's very sad," she said. "It's something that I thought would never happen."
Was it the price of power?
"Look," she replied, "you can't have everything."

NC man wins $1M with Va. Powerball ticket
Published: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 8:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 8:09 a.m.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A North Carolina man who bought five Powerball tickets while passing through Virginia has won $1 million.
The Virginia Lottery says Glenn Petke of Stoneville bought the tickets for last week's record-setting $587.5 million Powerball drawing when he stopped for gas at Mr. B's Welcome Center in Harrisonburg. Petke was going to Connecticut to visit family members.
One of Petke's tickets matched the first five numbers to win $1 million. Three other tickets sold in Virginia also were good for $1 million in the Wednesday night drawing.
Petke, a superintendent with a general contracting firm, said he doesn't plan to retire. He does plan to pay off his mortgage.

Alex Trochut Book entitled 'More is more'

Posted: Jun 27th 2011
No. of comments: 0
Alex Trochut is a Barcelona designer, 30 yrs old and already a global design icon. His book 'More is more' explores his work practices/process. As the title suggests his work is enriched and engaging through its complexity and detail. He a is a designer, illustrator and typographer that breaks the mould of conventional graphic designer.
He is perhaps most renowned for his elaborate typography, that balances between graffiti and hand rendered typography. A lot of his work is created using illustrator which he seems to control with Jedi precision. I imagine he is a master with the gradient mesh tool but I could be wrong.
This book gives valuable insight into, who has been inspirational to him (dali, and his typographer grandfather), how his work starts ON PAPER as a sketch and how it develops into amazingly complex vector art.

LOCKPORT — Bollinger Shipyards has delivered its fourth, fast-response cutter to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Remember life's a pretty precious and wonderful thing. You can't sit down and let it lap around you…. You have to plunge into it; You have to dive through it! And, you can't save it, you can't store it up; You can't horde it in a vault; You've got to taste it; You've got to use it. The more you use – the more you have… that's the miracle of it! - Kyle Samuel Crichton

Captain's Report by Christopher Hughes
Seen from the bow, the design is very clearly Sea-Doo with strong lines and broad curves. Notice how Sea-Doo uses items like lights and cleats as accents to the design instead of trying to hide them. This image demonstrates how the tower supports rise vertically so as not to interfere with people standing in the cockpit.
The three-cylinder SCIC 255 Rotax Engines.
The 210 SP has twin 1.5L 4-TEC 3-cylinder Rotax engines. They have been tuned to run on regular 87 octane gasoline and the max rpm output is 7300. In any boat under 21 feet the bow space is always going to be an issue, but Sea-Doo has carried the beam forward and angled the seating area to provide as much room as possible.
This stern shot demonstrates how the 210 SP has a draft of only 12". Notice also that the aft swim ladder is tucked under the swim platform on the centerline. You can clearly see the tie rod connecting the neutral gates that are in the deployed position.
These engines are connected to twin single stage axial flow jet pumps with nozzle diameters of 6 1/8 inches or 15.56cm. The impellers are stainless and four bladed. Since the engines are direct drive to the jet pumps, there are no transmissions and no drive sticking down below the bottom of the hull. While this means there is no lower unit to act as a rudder, the benefit is the draft of only 12 inches and that the engines are always processing water, meaning you always have maneuverability, even in neutral. This allows the Sea-Doo 210 SP to rotate within its own length in those tight docking situations.
Centered on the aft of the swim platform is one of the three tow points on this model. The second being a removable tow pylon and the third being the tow point of top of the tower.
In the above images, if you look to the port and starboard on the hull you see what looks like trim tabs. They are not trim tabs, but an exclusive engineering feature. These are two heat exchangers for the closed loop cooling system. The engine coolant is circulated through the heat exchangers that are in constant contact with the water to help ensure no contaminants enter the engine to ensure maximum longevity.
The gullwing design of the swim platform storage means you can access this area easily from onboard. Having the wakeboard inside gives you a sense of scale for the amount of room you have. Note the double gas assist struts to hold the covers in the open position.
Stern Features
The stern area of the 210 SP has several features, starting with the swim platform wet storage area which will fit a wakeboard, and would be a good place to store wet clothes. In the center is the mounting hole for the tow pylon and to port and starboard, what Sea-Doo calls the transat transom loungue seats have a clever design. In the up position they are sunpads when seated in the cockpit. When you pull out the lower section and pull down the cushion, it transforms into two aft lounge chairs.
Shown here the transat loungue seats are folded out and configured as lounge chairs. This clever design allows efficient use of space while running and at rest.
Inside the cockpit you have two captain's chairs that swivel 360 degrees which makes it easy for an observer to view while towing in the companion seat. The design is accented by the shaping and use of color in the upholstery. Notice the black armrests for the driver and passenger as well as the depth of the cockpit in relation to the seats. The aft seating in the cockpit is "U" shaped and also swings up for your access to the engine compartment.
The cockpit looking towards the bow. Design is the key feature in this model. Sea-Doo does a nice job of making the space feel roomy and interesting, while at the same time adding comfort.
The helm area is a cool feature in itself. With full digital displays that have companion analog gauges, they are also backlit and anti-fog. The multi-function center display provides 23 different items of information to the driver.
The Helm
In our opinion, the helm is one of the best features of this boat. The look and feel of the instruments panel is very cool. Dead-center is a large multi-function digital display that provides 23 items of information. All the gauges are backlit and anti-fog. The positioning is perfect for the sightline of an operator of any height. The rubberized dash cover has an anti-glare finish and the driver can see through the windscreen when seated and over it with the bolster up. The engine control is drive by wire and the 210 SP comes standard with ITC which is Sea-Doo's electronic throttle control. This includes customized power delivery modes including; cruise control, docking mode, ski mode and eco mode. Eco mode is a setting that when engaged, will optimize the engine speed and power setting for maximum fuel efficiency.
This side view of the 210 SP really shows off the folding tower, and you can see the single handle aft of the pivot point. This view also highlights how the physical design blends with the graphics to create the overall look.
Having a tower that folds is a must since most of us will trailer a boat this size. This tower is designed with a cleat amidship.
The gross weight of this model is 4,100 lbs and the maximum height with the tower up is 9'10". She has a 44 gallon fuel capacity and comes standard with a tandem axel trailer with a swing away tongue.
These are the features we think differentiate this model. Once we get her on the water and have some test numbers for you, we will be able to report back on the performance and handling as well.
