Ever had a cast iron Dutch oven, Skillet, or griddle acquire a smell that may not be so favorable? If so, it's probably gone rancid. It can happen from time to time due to how people tend to clean their cast iron, or perhaps more common, how long it's been since they last cooked in it.

A plant found in Michigan puts Poison Ivy to shame. It's called the Giant Hogweed.
It resembles a supercharged version of Queen Anne's Lace and grows up to 15 feet tall. The plant has a purple tinged stem and sprays of white blossoms a foot or more across.
A toxin in the sap attacks human skin, causing swelling, burns, blisters, and permanent scars. Officials say the Giant Hogweed is the most dangerous plant in the state and to avoid it at all costs.
It's been found in about a dozen states and in Michigan it's been found in Branch, Jackson, Ingham, and Gogebic counties.

Great! I'm a fan of iCab's Error Reporting. Love the Filter Manager too. Added one to use Safari Identity to load Gmail correctly. Still lite and quick to launch.
iCab 3.0.5 has also been released simultaneously with 4.0.0. Still runs on Mac OS 8.5 or newer.
A long time user - Version 4.0 (up to Ã19) has (finally) gone to use Apple's WebKit driver (sic?) is blisteringly fast to boot, and has all the iCab tools that you miss so badly when you need to use another browser. Developed by ONE man, it WAS the first browser to do Acid 2 stock. Safari was first, but was severely tweeked to do so.
Try it, and you'll always use it first.
p.s. v4 is currently missing some of the old web-site builder favourite tools, like instantly updating your web page as you modify code elsewhere - might return later.
It's a shame this browser doesn't get more recognition, because it's quite a feat to develop fully-functional browser these days.
It was one of the first to pass Acid2 test (that requires solid, advanced CSS2.1 and HTML support)
Progress seems to have slowed on this browser. When's the next release due out?
In my experience (using iCab since 2000), iCab has a more reliable web archive format than Safari. It's based on the ZIP compression standard, and iCab web archives can actually be expanded by any decompression utility to see all the files contained therein. I've had many Safari web archives fail to load once the cache had been flushed and the computer disconnected from the network, indicating its failure to create a truly offline copy of the page.
iCab is also light years ahead of the pack in terms of filtering of objects, cookies and scripts. It may be the most user-configurable browser available.
I have returned, logged in with iCab. Yep can handle this well written site. I've added comments, opened the concertinas found in the search results and clicked on 'i use this' link. This last point being something my main browser (OmniWeb) messes up.
This is the best browser on offer if you are still using a 'Classic' OS. If you are building websites add iCab to your testing process. It'll help you write code for more than 'explorer/mozilla/safari'. It's great as a second browser as it takes up little memory.
nice validator in this browser, will also do true full screen

text: The Weird is a collection of 110 stories (including some novellas) selected by editors Ann and Jeff Vandermeer to represent the development of, yes, the "weird" tale over the past century or so. The included tales are of a generally good or better quality (as is to be expected, Vandermeer himself being a writer of note in the current "New Weird" school), and not a few are gems. Owing to its diversity, the book offers a number of interesting views of the "weird tale" phenomenon (plus an solid Introduction by the editors, an interesting "Foreweird" by Michael Moorcock, and a curious "Afterweird" by China Miéville). There has always been some question whether horror fiction is a constituent part of "fantasy" fiction or is a category parallel to it. My own feeling is that the two do not much overlap, despite the doings in horror tales being "fantastic" in nature (that is, involving doings outside real or supposed laws of nature); the crux, I suggest, is that horror tales have a specific and relatively narrow goal, which is to evoke a sense of horror (or terror) in the reader, while fantasy tales can and at their best do involve all the many complex thoughts and feelings that fiction in general seeks to evoke in readers. Curiously, "the weird" cuts across that bound: it encompasses tales that are fairly plainly "horror" tales, but also includes fantastic tales that are not "horror" per se in their nature. The late Robert Aickman, a paragon of the weird-tale author, called them simply "strange stories" (he is well represented in this anthology by his indeed strange story "The Hospice"), and those "strange stories" are the ones I feel best fit into "fantasy" rather than horror (though all such distinctions are necessarily quite hazy). In The Weird, the least effective stories are the ones most plainly of the "horror" variety, and correspondingly the most effective are the "strange" (but not overtly horrific) tales. Most of the weaker horror stories are those from the period between the wars, a time when pulp magazines flourished. That era's work is by no means uniformly of the "and then it . . . !!" sort, but too much of it (to me) is. Such tales suffer especially from being anthologized, and most especially chronologically, because they become repetitious, endless repeats of the same dull hammer thump banging on our distaste for the squishily monstrous. A pleasing aspect of this collection is that it includes a good number of translated works, making available authors who did not write in English (Kubin, Sakutaro, Schulz, Mitra, just to name off the first few that occur), and some of the very best tales here are from such authors. There is also a sampling of authors who, though writing in English, are not yet well represented in the Western literature (such as Amos Tutuola). All in all, this is an excellent collection, and should, for almost every reader, be a good starting point from which to develop an appreciation of a number of fine authors not previously known (a reader who is well familiar with virtually all the authors included here would be a nonpareil indeed). Though by and large, the contents here are samplers, consisting of individual short stories or more or less standalone extracts from longer works, there are a few novellas that are complete and just by themselves justify acquiring the book (perhaps the most notable being Leena Krohn's Tainaron: Mail From Another City). If there is any complaint to register about this work, it is a sheerly mechanical one: at 7-3/4 by 9-1/2 inches and well over 1100 pages--roughly 3-1/2 pounds' worth--it is very literally heavy going. My lady, who has small and slightly arthritic hands, simply could not comfortably manage reading it. A two-volume version might have made more sense. Anyway, I highly recommend the work for the library of any aficionado of the fantastic in literature.

What should be a perfect example of a common rhetorical question (envision what a bear does in the woods), thanks to the religious right, has now become an actual query sadly worthy of national discussion.
But before you go off all willy-nilly and start salivating about it being "part of God's plan" (yep, that'll sell to the Fox demographic), or condemning me to one of a few thousand different versions of Hades, realize that I think the question itself is complete nonsense.
No one should have to prove, or disprove, any religious or nonreligious aspect of their lives before running for public office. In fact, it's against the law, according to the U.S. Constitution.
We don't prosecute freedom of speech. We allow freedom of - and from - the practice of using creative nonsense to explain ignorance, no matter how nonsensical it might be.
As the saying goes, "Science flies you to Mars, and religion flies you into buildings." This ever-present disease of ignorance is certainly not limited to one political party or religion. And that is the main reason we, as a nation, do not hold it, or a lack of it, as a criteria to hold public office.
Think of it this way: Electing a Mormon to the world's most powerful political office would dramatically raise awareness and, quite possibly, promote the positives of Mormonism, right?
But wouldn't the exact same hold true for Muslimism (if there is such a word), or Scientologism, Catholicism, atheism or the Church of the Invisible Pink Unicornism?
Of course it would, and that is why (at least on paper, or 225-year-old parchment) we make it illegal to use such an absurd litmus test for public office.
And it's also one reason I was ecstatic to hear Vice President Joe Biden say to the nation that he refuses to impose his beliefs upon others, as opposed to Paul Ryan, who makes it perfectly clear he wishes to do the exact opposite.
Sure, it's obvious that Biden was simply playing to his base by saying what he knows they want to hear, and of course Ryan was doing the same thing. But that doesn't change the fact that he said it, and as we all know, most voters are too dense to listen, much less understand, between the lines.
Superficial sound bites are apparently what make our political system perform so seamlessly, especially during election season.
Last Friday, the cult led by Billy Graham had "Mormonism" removed from his list of cults (which are apparently religions without enough followers) in an obvious attempt to thwart evil, people-loving liberals (as opposed to God-fearing conservatives) from possibly winning an election.
Those who refuse to see such shallowness based upon a cartoonishly fragile faith as anything other than a desperate act to manipulate voters deserve nothing but contempt from those with the ability to think for themselves.
Either way, attempting to pigeonhole candidates by what version of supernatural magic they follow makes about as much sense as insisting upon determining a pilot's pious preference before boarding an airplane.
When it comes to reality, no one does.
Nor should it matter at election time.

The amount of people that have flocked to Perth in the past several decades has led to the increase of Perth suburbs. Now, Perth has over 25 distinct suburbs which all offer a lifestyle that is somewhat different. In Western Australia, the variety of realtors has grown with growing suburbs. Also, more house developers have raised the variety of houses being constructed to satisfy this growing need.
One such house developer is Scott Park Houses who's now constructing houses in Perth Metrowest. This programmer has many houses to select from for people who are seeking new property. The houses sponsor an extensive variety of size as well as layout style there will probably be a house for everybody.
We Buy Houses Deals is just another programmer creating custom for prospective residents of Western Australia. This developer designs one and two storey dwellings. Bundles for both house and property are accessible.
These houses are sold via an agent by a family who's making changes in their own own lives. A broker can help prospective buyers get a notion of the various suburbs. Subsequent to the suburbs in which one might want to reside are narrowed down by the potential buyer, the property representative can start revealing houses.
Real estate in Perth is significantly more secure than other elements of the planet. Actually , the variety of property investments in Western Australia has grown in the past year primarily in the region of Perth. Perth was rated among the very best cities to reside in which has just helped raise its popularity.

"The Mindy Project" (9 p.m., Fox): Fans of the show have patiently waited through a two-month hiatus to find out what's going on with Mindy (Mindy Kaling) and Danny (Chris Messina) who were last seen engaged in a passionate lip-lock. Apparently, sparks are about to fly at Shulman & Associates.
"Inside Amy Schumer" (10:30 p.m., Comedy Central): Headlined by its sweet-faced but potty-mouthed star, this was one of TV's funniest surprise hits last year. So expectations are sky high as it returns for another season of scripted vignettes, stand-up comedy and woman-on-the-street interviews.
"Justified" (10 p.m., FX): Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) takes his war on Darryl Crowe Jr. (Michael Rapaport) to the streets, putting pressure on local criminals as a ploy to get Crowe in custody. Meanwhile, Boyd and Duffy (Walton Goggins, Jere Burns) make an unlikely ally.

Yesterday we posted a video on the NBA's top shot blocker after the whistle, so today we figured we'd give you the NBA's greatest shot blocker ever.
Bob Pettit: "I went around my man going up for a layup and he blocked a couple shots on me. And then the next time around I missed a layup looking for him."
Bill Russell: "And I would block a guy's shot and say yes we did that to you. And if you come back we'll do it again. And if you come back again we'll do it another time, so you have to find something else to do. That won't work."
I love Russell's use of the word "we."

KG= a poor man's Bill Russell
Now or in his prime? Bill Russell has got to be one of the top 5 most respected athletes of all time though.
In his prime. Now KG's an AIDS ridden, homeless man's Bill Russell.

I loved Bill Russell. This is so cool.
Haha, nice one TB.
Loved this video!
Btw how did the NBA NOT keep track of blocks and steals back then? That's almost as ridiculous as the 3 Division winners NOT getting the top 3 seeds in their conference for the playoffs. Oh wait...lol

Wilex finds US commercialisation partner for Rencarex
Munich/San Diego – German Wilex has sold the exclusive US marketing rights for RENCAREX® (girentuximab), its Phase III monoclonal antibody for adjuvant use in non-metastatic clear-cell renal cell cancer (ccRCC) to Prometheus Laboratories Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Wilex will receive $19.0 million upfront, development fees, plus milestone payments and royalties on U.S. net sales of the chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets the CA IX-antigen, which is overexpressed on 95% of ccRCC and various other solid tumours. Additionally, Wilex has options for commercialisation outside the United States to one of Prometheus' marketed products or additional cash payments of up to $20 million. With the deal, the US company, which has a track record of commercialisation of oncology products, strengthens its oncology pipeline. girentuximab is currently being tested in a Phase III trial versus placebo in the adjuvant setting in 864 patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer at high risk of recurrence after nephrectomy. WILEX expects the results from the interim analysis for efficacy of girentuximab in the second half of 2011, which could form the basis for the European MAA.

Google was ordered Wednesday by a jury in Texas to pay $85 million to SimpleAir Inc. for using the closely held company's technology for transmitting Internet-based data to computers and mobile devices without a license.
SimpleAir, a technology licensing company, had been seeking as much as $146 million in the trial before a federal jury in Marshall, Texas. Google said the invention was worth no more than $6 million. A different jury in January found that Google infringed a patent issued in 2006, though it was unable to reach an agreement on how much the company should pay.
The case focused on Google Cloud Messaging and Cloud to Device Messaging, which process and send notification messages to smartphones and tablet computers that run on Google's Android operating system, the most popular platform for mobile devices.
"The jury awarded far less than SimpleAir's excessive demand, but we continue to believe we do not infringe and are considering our options," said Matt Kallman, a spokesman for Mountain View-based Google.
In the January trial, Google denied infringing the patent and claimed it didn't represent a new invention. It also argued that, because Facebook licenses the SimpleAir patent, royalties shouldn't include any applications provided through the social-networking site.
SimpleAir, based in Plano, Texas, was founded by two of the patent's inventors to license their technology, which originated with an unsuccessful company called AirMedia, said Jeff Eichmann, a patent lawyer with Dovel & Luner in Santa Monica, who represents SimpleAir.
"It was only after the smartphone market took off that the true value of the invention saw commercial success," he said in an interview. "This is the result of a lot of years of hard work of two inventors who were a decade ahead of their time. We're happy the jury came back and agreed that Google needs to be held responsible and pay its share of royalties."
SimpleAir initially filed the complaint in September 2011 against companies including Microsoft, Nokia and Samsung Electronics. Those companies settled, leaving Google and its Motorola Mobility unit in the trial before U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap. Eichmann said Apple and BlackBerry also have licensed the technology.
While the patent was issued in 2006, SimpleAir claimed it covers technology first developed a decade earlier. It took about seven years for the patent application to get approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Suite en Blanc
Suite en Blanc may take you by surprise. Rarely seen in the United States, it's the kind of show-offy neoclassical vehicle that allows a company to flaunt its dancerly riches. But it's also a stylized piece that refuses to take itself too seriously. Bits of whimsy and humor, sometimes quite tongue-in-cheek, along with a "ta-da!" presentation and vignettes of stunning beauty, make Suite en Blanc unusual, surprising, and endlessly delightful. This is a ballet that loves to have fun.
Part of Suite en Blanc's freshness lies in the fact that it was choreographed by Serge Lifar, a dancer who's indelibly linked with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and whose work isn't often seen in this country. Born in Kiev, Russia, in 1905, he made his way to Paris in 1923, invited by Bronislava Nijinska (sister of the famous dancer Vaslav Nijinsky) to join Diaghilev's troupe, which had been making waves since its debut in 1909. Two years later, in 1925, he became a premier danseur (known, however, more for his sex appeal than for his dancing). He created the title roles in George Balanchine's Apollon Musagète in 1928 (called Apollo since the 1940s) and The Prodigal Son in 1929, the year Diaghilev died.
Lifar began choreographing at the Ballets Russes, debuting with Le Renard in 1929. But it was during his 14 years with Paris Opera Ballet (1930–1944) that his choreographic career took off. During that time he made Suite en Blanc (1943) and one of his best-known works, Icare (1935), along with many others. After two years as founder and artistic director of Nouveau Ballet de Monte Carlo, he returned to the Paris Opera as director, choreographer, and dancer. During the remainder of his tenure there, until 1958, he created more than 20 ballets, the last of which was his Daphnis et Chloë. Thereafter he created works for various companies and, before his death in 1986, wrote more than 25 books.
Suite en Blanc, set to music excerpted from the 1882 ballet Namouna by Èdouard Lalo, is a series of divertissements, separate but linked dances that are diverse in tone—floaty to flirty to majestic to spunky—yet still share Lifar's signature style. The names of the dances (for example, Sieste, Serenade, Cigarette.) come from the full Namouna score and were keyed to a story; in Suite en Blanc they carry no meaning. (Still, Lifar did enjoy playing on the names at times—watch closely and you'll see images of wafting smoke in Cigarette). His favorite movement motif—a flattened profile with shoulders turned 90 degrees to the hips, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian art and clearly rooted in Art Deco style—appears often, particularly in elegant struts on and off the stage.
Paris Opera Ballet premiered Suite en Blanc in Zurich, Switzerland, with Lifar in a lead role (the mazurka, says Maina Gielgud, who staged the work for San Francisco Ballet) along with Yvette Chauviré, Solange Schwarz, and Lycette Darsonval. Gielgud has also staged it for the English National, Royal Danish, Australian, Hong Kong, and Houston Ballets. The ballet also been performed by Grand Ballet Classique de France (with Gielgud dancing), Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Tulsa Ballet.
SF Ballet is only the third U.S. company to include Suite en Blanc in its repertory. When Artistic Director & Principal Choreographer Helgi Tomasson saw it years ago in Paris, he put it on his mental back burner. He decided to add it to the Company's repertory when he noted the enthusiasm surrounding English National Ballet's recent production. "This is a historic ballet," Tomasson says, "and sometimes it's not bad to take a look back. I'm always looking for something classical."
For a while Suite en Blanc took on a different name—Noir et Blanc, with black introduced into the previously all-white costume color scheme. Paris Opera Ballet performed it under that name, but drama erupted in 1958 when the Marquis de Cuevas staged it for his Grand Ballet de Monte Carlo without Lifar's permission. A heated argument between de Cuevas and Lifar segued into a most theatrical duel (and a very smart publicity stunt). Armed with sharp-tipped épées, the marquis, 73, and Lifar, 54, waged elegant battle until Lifar received a nick on the arm and the two men reconciled in tears.
Suite en Blanc resumed its original name and primarily white costumes in 1981, when Lifar revived it at Australian Ballet. More than ever, Gielgud says, "wherever I stage it everyone seems to love it. The dancers gulp it up, the audiences, the critics. It's like, 'This is what we've been waiting for!' " She attributes that interest at least partially to the Lifar style, "which is very special to him, and nowadays pretty unique, coming through that whole stable that started with the Ballets Russes and [Léonide] Massine and Bronislava Nijinska. And at the beginning you can almost see some bits of Balanchine in there."
And Gielgud should know. Suite en Blanc, in which she danced several roles, was with her "for the better part of my career," she says. That career included dancing with de Cuevas' company, Maurice Béjart's 20th Century Ballet, Berlin Opera Ballet, and London Festival (now English National) Ballet, and guesting internationally, including as Rudolf Nureyev's partner. Later she directed Australian Ballet for 14 years and Royal Danish Ballet for two.
But before all that, when she was a 15-year-old student in Paris, she danced the Cigarette variation from Suite en Blanc for a gala, and her coach was Lifar himself. "He was larger than life," says Gielgud. "I remember his voice. He was full of stories about the Diaghilev time, full of stories about him in the Diaghilev time. I remember his very large emphasis on style and shapes and forms more than anything else, and I can visualize him showing those shapes."
And so, in setting Suite en Blanc, an emphasis on shapes is paramount. In rehearsals Gielgud flits from dancer to dancer, adjusting an arm here, a chin or a hand there. A half an inch makes a difference, as does the direction of the gaze. "The whole place belongs to you," she tells one of the principal dancers in the pas de trois. "Proclaim everything you're doing." To another, finessing the arms-held-wide ending of a pirouette sequence: "Give them the whole world."
That sense of generosity is essential in doing Suite en Blanc well—and it's what Gielgud calls the "bee in my bonnet. I think with classical ballet, to make it relevant, dancers need to be generous with their movement—to share their love of dancing, make the audience want to move as they're watching." To the dancers Gielgud says, "The fun is to indulge in the style, flirt with it, sell it. Treat it like a contemporary ballet." Later, away from the studio, she laughs and says that to give this ballet its due, the dancers "need to have arrogant chic."

In the Night
In 1970, only a year after choreographing his masterful Dances at a Gathering for New York City Ballet, Jerome Robbins made In the Night, once again using the music of Frédéric Chopin. Small and intimate, the ballet has the same kind of deep emotional core as Dances at a Gathering, so it's hard not to see the similarities. But a sense of camaraderie permeates Dances at a Gathering, while the characters of In the Night can think of nothing but their lovers. A longtime favorite of many ballet goers, In the Night was last performed by San Francisco Ballet in 2008.
As is often the case in Robbins' work, the characters in In the Night are sharply drawn. The three couples offer a peek into their lives; at the intimacy, the constraints, the longing. The mood is set for romance as the curtain rises in silence, revealing a starlit sky. A couple dressed in eveningwear appears and then the music—a Chopin nocturne—begins. In this youthful encounter, the lovers dance with a sense of joyful discovery, the man draping the woman over his arms, sometimes melting with her to the floor, sometimes swinging her into the air. They play out their unabashed exclamations of love and then exit in a rush, their exuberance matched by her swirling skirt.
Another couple enters and we see at once, by their reserve and dress, that they are in a more mature phase of love. Elegant and smooth as they move side by side in folk-dance motifs, at times they shed their restraint as if driven by memories of their courtship and a need to express their deep connection. The third couple, in contrast, enters with tempers flaring, and there's no mistaking the subtext in their relationship. Physical desire and emotional friction seem equally matched as they dance out their tempestuous struggle.
It's hard to imagine better music for such passionate interludes than Chopin's dreamy piano nocturnes. He wrote 20 of them; the four Robbins chose for In the Night were written between 1830 and 1843. It's possible that Chopin's work reminded the choreographer—who struggled throughout his life with identity issues about his Russian Jewish heritage—of his family's roots in Eastern Europe. In any case, Robbins turned to the Polish composer's music repeatedly, for The Concert and Other Dances as well as for Dances at a Gathering and In the Night.
Born in 1810, Chopin studied at the conservatory in Warsaw, where he favored the piano. Infatuated with a fellow student who was a singer, he often attended her performances. His exposure to bel canto opera, in which long, sustained passages alternate with vocally virtuosic ones, influenced his composing style, particularly his nocturnes. With its increasingly intricate melody, Op. 9, No. 2, the final piece of In the Night, is one of the best examples of that artistic crossover. Other influences include the works of Bach and Mozart, whom Chopin revered, and traditional Polish folk dances. Chopin spent the second half of his short life in Paris, where he met his longtime lover, the novelist Amandine-Aurore-Lucile Dudevant (aka George Sand). The composer died far too young, of tuberculosis, in 1849.
The word "nocturne" refers to evening or night, a plausible source of Robbins' name for his new ballet. And nighttime "breeds a certain elegance and strangeness" that shaped the ballet, writes Deborah Jowitt in Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theater, His Dance. She suggests that the "shifts and disruptions" of Chopin's nocturnes influenced the choreographic phrasing of In the Night. She writes: "By sometimes traveling hand in hand with the music, sometimes jostling subtly against it, his choreography reflects the changeability of relationships." That's an aptly poetic description of a ballet that explores three faces of love.
Program notes by Cheryl A. Ossola
Imagine a ballet based on the concept of dancers embodying paintings. Now imagine it happening in anything but a literal way. That's the way British choreographer Wayne McGregor's mind works. His cerebral form of artistic vision yields technology-integrated dances that explore the human mind as equally as they do the body. So it's unlikely that viewers who see McGregor's new work for San Francisco Ballet—his first commission—without having read about it first will make the connection to the work of German-American artist Josef Albers. But in an abstract way, in McGregor's own particular aesthetic sense, that connection between dance and fine art is there.
McGregor began his dance career in the modern-dance world; his company, Wayne McGregor | Random Dance, resident company of Sadler's Wells Theatre, has been offering viewers new ways of thinking about dance since 1992. These days, while his company tours the world, McGregor is likely to be found at London's Royal Opera House, where he has created 11 works since 2004. The resident choreographer for The Royal Ballet for five years, he recently signed on to continue in that role through 2017. In addition, he serves as artistic associate along with fellow choreographer Christopher Wheeldon.
McGregor's choreographic career spans more than 30 works for Random and for companies such as the Netherlands Dance Theatre, Rambert Dance, and the Paris Opera, Bolshoi, Stuttgart, New York City, English National, and Australian Ballets. Among his dozens of site-specific pieces was a dance for the 2012 Olympic Games, performed at Trafalgar Square. He has worked in opera, theater, television and film (including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire); developed Creative Learning programs for children; and operates a creative think tank in Kenya, at which the Sundance Institute resides periodically. His lengthy list of honors includes Critics Circle and Laurence Olivier Awards, and in 2011 he was awarded a CBE, Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
McGregor's history with SF Ballet goes back to 2007, when the Company performed his Eden/Eden; Chroma was a hit with SF Ballet audiences in 2011 and 2012. Artistic Director & Principal Choreographer Helgi Tomasson had been talking to McGregor about a commission for years; "it was just finding the right time and the right idea," McGregor says. "For me the idea has to fit the purpose, and this one had to fit the context of the work here. And so I thought about what pieces of mine you had here and how I might be able to challenge myself on the dancers in a different way."
For this new work, McGregor wanted music that would emerge through a prolonged "conversation" between dance and music—an electronic score, he decided, which, without the additional process of orchestrating, would permit quick exchanges. And so he turned to Joel Cadbury, "a brilliant young British composer who writes for the band Unkle," and Cadbury's collaborator Paul Stoney. McGregor describes their music as "sonic architecture," which appealed to him because it was "very analogous to the conceptual idea I had."
"Sonic architecture is a very good way of describing the score," says
Cadbury. Along with songwriting, he has written for film, television, and advertising,
including (with Stoney) such clients as Bentley, Ford, and PlayStation. McGregor's
experimental method of fitting and refitting is a process Cadbury is used to, he says;
he sees value in everything that's created, even if ultimately it's not
used. "Even our very early outlines, sketches of the sonic architecture, were
used by Wayne to begin his journey into the movement," he says. "It's
only when he begins to make his choreography that we learn if what we are making fits.
And it is only when we start putting everything together in context with the arc of
the piece that these discoveries can be made." McGregor gives them the freedom
to explore, Cadbury says, and the goal is to "challenge preconceptions."
As he has for 20 years, McGregor enlisted lighting designer Lucy Carter to help him create his visual world. "We wanted to do something very simple, a kind of light-installation piece, with a blank canvas in terms of the architecture," McGregor says. "Why? Because the central point of departure for all of this is the work of Josef Albers, a Bauhaus-influenced artist who worked with rigorous shape and color to do amazing optical things. I thought that was a really interesting way to start." The Bauhaus movement has a place in the lineage of dance, starting with designer/choreographer Oskar Schlemmer's translation of architectural principles onto the body (notably in his Triadic Ballet, using geometric and mechanical forms), which in turn influenced dance-notation pioneer Rudolf Laban and later, says McGregor, choreographers such as William Forsythe.
So McGregor and his team went to Connecticut and immersed themselves (under the inspirational tutelage of the Albers Foundation Director and author Nicholas Fox Weber) in the Josef Albers Foundation archives. One resource, Albers' book Interaction of Color, is about how "colors work together in simple ways to deceive the eye," says McGregor. "And I love this idea. I thought that might be an interesting way to work physically. How could we deceive the eye as to how many bodies or how many limbs are there [onstage]?"
If McGregor's new piece has an organizing principle, it's in Albers' Homage to the Square. He's aiming for a pixilation effect with the lighting, which will use a new system of LED lights to paint the human form in a granular way. Both music and dancing are being created in four-minute segments. As of October 2012, McGregor had already choreographed 16 four-minute dance segments all directly in response to the Albers work—more than he will use—with no decisions yet about which of the 40 mini-pieces of music made so far will accompany them.
But that was all part of the plan. For McGregor, the two-and-a-half month interval between the fall and January rehearsals is a gift of time that enriches the creative process, allowing him to make choreography and have a composer respond to it. The interval, built into SF Ballet's schedule because of Nutcracker, also allows the dancers to absorb and interpret what they've been given. "I've been saying to the dancers, 'It's one thing to learn choreography, but then what?' It's the surface, not the piece," says McGregor. "The only way it can be something is if they embody it and live with it longer."
For McGregor, creating a new dance is always about teaching himself something new. He goes into the studio with a well-planned concept but an open mind about its evolution. As he demonstrates the steps, he accompanies them with scat singing, a tremendously effective method of conveying movement quality and intent. Much of the music he's working with has minimal rhythmic drive—it's like a tapestry of sustained sound onto which he layers his movement without counts. The pairing of music and movement is fluid for now; the counts come later, if needed.
To get the most out of McGregor's dances, it's best to arrive at the theater as he does at the studio: ready to discover the infinite potential of dance, the body, and the human mind. "Albers gets me on a visceral level," says McGregor. "This is rich information that no one will see in the dance, but it will be there. It makes you have to think about things in a different way."

Nirvana is reuniting, with Paul McCartney replacing Kurt Cobain.
No, my brain didn't just fall out of my head.
McCartney will play with the surviving members of Nirvana at the 12.12.12 concert for victims of Superstorm Sandy on Wednesday night, according to the U.K. publication The Guardian.
I don't think McCartney has smelled teen spirit in a long, long time.
McCartney will join Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic, and Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear on stage in New York to play a new song after secretly working with the band. A spokesman confirmed that Grohl recently asked McCartney to come along to "jam with some mates".
The former Beatle suggested they "just make something up" and found himself playing with Grohl, Novoselic, and Smear, who toured with Nirvana for the last six months of the band's career.
Kurt Cobain took his own life in April 1994.
McCartney said: "I didn't really know who they were. They are saying how good it is to be back together. I said: 'Whoa? You guys haven't played together for all that time?'
"And somebody whispered to me: 'That's Nirvana. You're Kurt.' I couldn't believe it."
Paul McCartney: Grunge God.
The Rolling Stones, Jon Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Kanye West will also play at the 12.12.12 concert for victims of Superstorm Sandy at Madison Square Garden in New York.

What is the difference between Coconut Milk and cream?

Coconut cream is essentially the fat from coconut milk. Place a can in the fridge, and when it is cold, open the top and skim off the coconut cream.

this was a great recipe. I used a pound (340g) of whole wheat spaghetti, tripled the tofu pancetta (didn't need to add any salt to the sauce or spaghetti as a result), and doubled the sauce (we like a lot of sauce as it is it seemed to get absorbed really quick so it was not saucy at all, just creamy. It was perfect! I've been cooking vegan for a couple of years now and just found your site this week. This is the first recipe I tried will be coming back for more! Thanks!

I made it with "cream of coconut." Is that different? It tasted like coconut ice cream mixed with pasta - YUCK. Great idea for a recipe, though, and I like the tofu pancetta (cut the sugar in half, at least). I'd make it again, and maybe substitute Isa's alfreda sauce from VwaV for the coconut cream sauce? The parsley is a nice touch.

Pasta carbonara was one of my favorite dishes. I've been vegan for 9 years, so it was just a nice memory to me.
As soon as I saw your recipe last week, I knew I had to try it. I came home late last night, I was starving, but there was no way I wouldn't try your recipe then, as I had been thinking about it all afternoon.
It didn't disappoint. It is that kind of recipe you eat in one sitting because it is just so good.
Thank you!

This dish we have tried twice!! I have not even cooked it. Rather my bacon loving boyfriend has been the chef enticed by the wonders of liquid smoke. He made the cream sauce, the second time, in the tofu pan to maximize on the smoky flavour for super tasty results. We also added peas for a bit of colour and contrast.
Thanks again Vegan Dad for another recipe hit!

Would it be too runny if I used regular soy milk instead of soy creamer? I was just thinking that it would substantially cut down on the amount of fat in the recipe (and I don't generally keep soy creamer in the house)...

Soy creamer isn't that high in fat. If you really want to cut the fat, don't use the coconut cream.

I could use cornstarch instead of the arrowroot, right? I don't usually keep arrowroot on hand, simply because cornstarch is cheaper.
Another thing, can you taste the coconut much?

Cornstarch would be fine. And, no, you can't taste the coconut. I like Thai Kitchen coconut milk, though, because it is less "coconuty."

Wow. All I can say is wow! I've never had a good carbonara as a non-vegan but this one was clearly the winner nonetheless. I made this about ten minutes ago and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I added half an onion, minced, and eggplant bacon for lack of garlic and tofu.
Thanks so much for the recipe!

Made them once w/o the salt and pepper - big mistake! Made them again with the S&P and shared a small batch with my Meatless Monday bf (transitioning veg) and he won't stop talking about it! I might have changed his negative opinion on chickpeas for good. We'll see.

ALAMEDA -- If he had it to do over, Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor still would take the field with his sprained right knee.
As for the aftermath of his last start on Nov. 10, he would handle that much differently.
In a 24-20 loss to the New York Giants, Pryor completed just 42.3 percent of his passes with a key interception and had a season-low 19 yards rushing.
After the game, Pryor, speaking in hushed tones and avoiding eye contact, referred to his knee injury several times, a stark contrast to earlier defeats where he accepted responsibility.
"It was just bad leadership on my side to make an excuse at the end and say it was my knee," Pryor said Friday. "Whether it was or not, that's one of my biggest regrets right there. Anytime you step on the field you're held accountable, and that's what I realize I could have done different."
Pryor played a series in a 37-27 loss to the New York Jets, leading the Raiders to a field goal in the first half, and he probably will get into the game Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at O.co Coliseum.
The role is similar to how Pryor was going to be used this season until he beat out Matt Flynn and won the job outright. Matt McGloin has assumed the Flynn role, operating a conventional offense, with Pryor coming in as a change of pace with his running and passing skills.
"(McGloin) is more of the prototype quarterback," Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said by conference call. "With Pryor in there -- and he will play some -- it's a whole different ballgame. You've got the regular offense, then you've got that zone-read college-type stuff to deal with, too."
It is clear that McGloin's passing, quicker delivery and decision-making have made him No. 1 until he plays his way out of the job, and Pryor said he defers to the judgment of coach Dennis Allen.
"Right now Matt's the quarterback," Pryor said. "The only thing I can do is control what I can control and just keep getting better. That's where we're at."
After going 3-5 as a starter, Pryor said he doesn't look at his backup status as a setback.
"It's just push forward and find ways to get better," Pryor said. "You could always put your head down and cry and whine about it and talk behind everyone's back, but there's another way. It's an opportunity for me to be a leader in a different way and try to grasp guys and teach guys. That's how I'm going about it, and that's probably the only way I can right now."
Allen said McGloin and Pryor each would like to be the starter but both are on board with whatever the staff decides.
"We've got to do the things that give us the best chance for success," Allen said. "We feel comfortable with both of those guys. They've both helped us, so they understand what we're trying to do, and as competitors they want to be in there playing."
Allen said the Raiders will consider placing McFadden on injured reserve. The same goes for safety Tyvon Branch (ankle), who is doubtful to face the Chiefs.

The energy in the lot was sort of like, "Is this really happening?" mixed with "I can't believe this is happening!" and a healthy dose of caution as Virginai's finest were in full force. But that didn't dampen our mood.
Inside, the giant orbs hovering above promised that, yes, this was indeed going to be a Phish show and something was going to happen that hadn't happened before.
Everyone was cool, I hadn't met this many truly friendly Phish heads since my first time in the Gorge (99) and felt at that moment that peculiar feeling of camraderie when everyone knows, "We're all here for the same thing."
Fluffhead blew us all away, you almost couldn't hear it over the roar of the crowd when they walked onstage, but it was the perfect opener for Fluffhead had indeed been a man with a horrible disease and we were all there to him. I remember, about halfway through the first set thinking, "Man, they are playing a TON of songs here in the first set!" that was during Suzy. At Rift I was thinking, "OK, here's a big number to close the first set out with."
Nope. We were treated to my favotite kind of Water in the Sky, the slow laid back summer time on a raft version. Then came The Squirming Coil and again I thought, "Perfect, a Coil first set closer."
Nope. Bowie. Enough said. The second set started with a song I'd wanted to hear Phish play since I'd heard it and is one that I think is an instant classic. This song will take on a life of it's own the same way Disease, Gin and Tweezer have. The second set was the more jammed out, I don't think it ever truly segued, but that is just this man's opinion. Some people expressed a small amount of dismay at the YEM flub (which I don't believe was intentional, but still reflected how seriously the band takes itself and it's fans) but I thought that they recovered nicely and they have proved since then they are more than capable of nailing that hellishly complicated, delightful song. The encore was solid and when the balls dropped and exploded during Bouncing, the night was obviously coming to a close.
Nope. Loving Cup. Just to kick our butts out the door with some good ole fashioned rock.
The energy in this room was something I have never felt before in my life. The sense of anticipation I felt can only be matched by the first show my theatre company performed in our first permanent residence. The people were great, the band was tight and more than ready to rock. I walked out of that place drenched in sweat from jumping up and down, grooving and generally dancing my ass off.
I still get chills when I hear the crowd and Fluffhead when I go back and listen to it.

Hi there,
I am going to be starting the C25K this week. I'm just getting all my ducks in a row now and found this site!! I'm so happy to have found it because I'm nervous, stressed out and feeling fat. I'm approx. 220 and very out of shape. My back hurts and muscles hurt everyday, almost as if my body was saying.. We need some excercise... get off your butt!!! So I'm listening and doing something about it. My cousin completing this program and I loved hearing about it on her facebook.
Things I'm nervous about...
1. Can I REALLY do this, esp. being overweight?
2. Am I going to lose weight doing this program? I HAVE to lose weight, I just have to !!.
3. Is this a waste of my time... ugh.
Obviously I'm nervous.. but I'm motivated, it's a new year and a new me.
Wondering if anyone has beginners advice. I read a lot of good advice already.
Here is my situation.... I will need to use a treadmill or indoor track. I live in Upstate NY. We often have zero temps here... not to mention tons of snow and slush. I'm just not into it.. so I joined the YMCA. I also need the childcare because I have two children 3 and 5. I just bough a pair of Saucony shadows http://www.zappos.com/saucony-shadow-6000-white-grey-amethyst-pomegranite . I have wide feet and I think the sneakers I've used in the past were too narrow. They would numb the sides of my feet. (anyone heard of this.)
I am wondering how do I track my progress. I think I'm going to buy the C25k ipod app. Anyone use that?
Ok.. so yeah.. Thanx for reading.. dana
Welcome Dana!
You absolutely can do this, just listen to your body and keep reading the great posts on this forum. Here's a wonderful thread that you might like:
Good luck!
Started C25K October 18th, 2010 - Graduated December 28th, 2010
B210K: W5D1 February 18, 2011
Congratulations on the decision to get running! If you do it right you will probably get hooked, it can be addictive! And yes, you can do it!
There are some things that you should really consider and do properly to avoid injury and disappointment. FIrst of all please get fitted for properly fitting shoes. While the shoes you purchased online may be great running shoes, they may not be great for you. Any local running store (NOT Dick's Sporting Goods, Footlocker, Sports Authority) will be able to do an assessment of your feet, your gait (how you run), and will have you try on several pairs of shoes to find the right ones for you. This is one of the most important steps in avoiding injury. Once you have the information about the proper shoes you can then chose to purchase future pairs online as it will probably save you a little money!
Start slow...a lot of people want instant results and quit when it doesn't happen. We didn't get this way overnight so we can't fix it overnight either! :-) C25K helps you to start slowly, and don't feel bad if you have to repeat a day or a week of the program before moving on. You have to do what works for you. As further motivation sign up for a local 5k event in your area for the Spring. Sign up for it now! This will give you an absolute goal that you can work towards!
As for the weight loss question...running alone will not help you lose weight if your diet is bad. Proper nutrition is responsible for about 75% of weight loss and physical activity accounts for only about 25%. This does not mean you have to go on a diet, diets are for suckers. Eat well balanced meals, watch portion size (this is a huge factor), and reduce the amount of processed foods you eat. And if you want pizza or chocolate, have some, just do it in moderation and don't do it everyday!
Everything I have mentioned I have personally been through...4 years ago I weighed 230 pounds and wore size 20 jeans. Now I weigh 158 pounds and wear size 10 jeans. I added running to my life last January. I completed my first half marathon in September and my second half marathon is 5 days away! I do not run fast and will probably never run fast. I run at a pace that is comfortable yet challenging to me.
Good Luck!
Dana, the others really have some great advice. You can do this and will do it if you have conviction.
One thing you might do is visit your Dr. before you start C25K and make sure your heart can handle the stress. The rest of your body will likely protest but you can ignore it for the most part but you do want to ensure your heart can take it.
I am 38 years old and began C25K at 255 lbs. With changes to my diet (portion control, lots of fresh veggies, and reduced processed foods) and the C25K program I got down to 245 lbs before running my first 5k. I managed to complete it in 30:50 which I thought was pretty good for someone as heavy as I am.
Running on a treadmill makes tracking your times very easy. Don't worry about speed at all, just focus on running / walking the times you are supposed to. Speed will come later. You will probably feel terrible for the first 2 - 3 weeks but it does get better and the running is addictive you just have to stick with it. I remember one run I really wanted to stop and I made a deal with myself that I could quit something else later that day if I didn't quit on this run. Perhaps you'll make a similar deal with yourself.
This program is perfect for people who are out of shape. Believe in it and stick with it, you won't regret it. The hardest part of the program by far is getting on the treadmill or out the door. If you can do this, you'll be finishing the program before you know it.
Good luck!
Hello and Welcome and Congrats for getting started to lose weight and exercise! just the follow the plan ( 3 days a week) and before you know it, you will be graduating.
Wow!! Thanx for the great and inspiring responses and advice. I'm so excited. I went and joined the YMCA today!!! I'm now a member and have my kiddos signed up for the daycare. They are stoked to start swimming too.
I have a question. I noticed on the 200+ group that someone mentioned they started with 30 sec. intrevals, rather than 60. what do you think? Should I try that>
You guys are the best, thank you soooo much.
"I noticed on the 200+ group that someone mentioned they started with 30 sec. intrevals, rather than 60. what do you think? Should I try that>"
When I started I was in very poor shape; I was 255 lbs, never exercised, and have multiple disc herniations in my back. I was able to complete the program as it was laid out. The real benefits of the program are realized when you follow it...even when you feel you can't. I got into the poor shape I was in by giving myself all sorts of reasons why I couldn't do lots of things (running being the #1 thing on that list).
I think another (better) way to manage is to repeat days / weeks as needed as another person suggested and / or just slow down. The goal of the program is to build your cardiovascular endurance by increasing the amount of time you can sustain an effort. If you cut the times short, you will be missing out on the real benefit of the program. I think the best thing to do is follow the times and slow down to a pace that you can sustain.
Lastly I would say that if you follow this plan through, you will find out what all runners know...running is 90% mental and 10% physical. If your mind wills it, your body will respond.
Don't give up before you even start!
I forgot to mention one other very important thing...
When you begin to run, pay a lot of attention to running form. If you run properly and efficiently, you'll avoid injury and complete runs feeling much better. There are a lot of good articles on www.active.com and www.coolrunning.com to help you understand proper running form.
Bottom line with running form is to avoid a heel strike. Landing on one's heel sends a shock from the heel all the way up your spine and can really hurt you. The best way to run longer with less injury is using more of a mid-foot strike. For more information you could also google "chi running" and "pose method".
Hope this helps!
I recently ( this week) started jogging. I found the 200lb club postings an inspiration. I am a 50yo very overweight male. Last just 2010 I met with a Dr at the VA. He basically told me I was going to die if I didn't change. At 350lbs diabetic ( out of control), that was lazy, over ate and drank beer. He was right. Well since I have not touched even a diet soda, lost 75lbs and now walk 6-7 mi 5 days a week, go to the gym, got a personal trainer and am starting to jog. I am only on day 2 but have a goal of running my first 5k Feb27th. By Aug I want to be at my goal weight of 220lbs. That will be a130lb weight loss.
HI everyone!!
Well since I last wrote, I started the program. first off... wow, I'm out of shape!!! but I loved it. I pushed my way through the first day and I loved it!!!! I'm so exctied. I received the sneaker I ordered, which were a wide pair of sauconys. I sent my first pair back, hey were too narrow. In the past when I've tried to run, my feet would always numb out after 10 minutes... I can't BELIEVE what a DIFFERENCE a pair of sneakers that FIT make. My feet felt PERFECT after my run, not one bit of pain. I just can't believe it. You were right too.. the 60/90 was fine.
I downloaded one ot the C25K programs for my IPOD. After I got the hang of it, it worked perfect. I listened to my music while the program ran. This was really a blessing because I really had to exert all of my energy to making it through the run... so it was REALLY helpful not to have to check a clock. I loved that the program told me when we were half way through the workout.
I was a little sore, but nothing off the charts. I went over and worked on the circut for a little bit, stretching out some of the muscles that were hurting after my run.
I then changed and picked up my kids from the daycare. HOW AWESOME,. I excercised, felt great about myself and got some mommy time!!!
All and all.. I'm so excited and it went really well. I can't wait to get back. I'm going today.
Thank you for all of your advice and support!!!!! I'm so happy to have found this community!!!
I completed day 2 of week 1 today. Did well, although when I was done I was REALLY dizzy. Had to go sit in the locker room and cool down. My face was beat red. This is normal, right?
I can't believe how much energy I have after the run!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are very dizzy and have a red face when you are done with your run then you probably are dehydrated. It is vitally important for exercise and for weight loss to be drinking enough water. If you are not drinking at least eight 8 oz. glasses of water per day, then you need to increase your water intake to that level. It is hard to do so at first if you aren't a water drinker, but your body will adjust to it quickly and within a few days you will begin craving it.
If you are properly hydrated prior to your workout and are still experiencing the symptoms you mentioned, then you need to see your Dr. and ask about a stress test before continuing to run.
Thanx Jon!
Hi everybody it is great to see a site devoted to us larger runners. Just like the rest I to have allowed myself to lay around far too long. At 55, 277lbs. and no real medical issues I feel very blessed. As such I feel I owe it to myself and my family to take charge once again and get back to running. When younger I loved to run cross country. Currently I have to settle with brisk walking. I entered my first 5k this year and sad to say I finished dead last; BUT FINISHED!! I did offer the clean up crew a little cash for gas as they had to follow me the last mile picking up the cones as I pasted them, 17m mile. That is all going to change!!! I have thrown down the challenge to my two sons. They also ran in the turkey trot as well as the rest of the family. My goal this year is to try my best to bet them if at all possible (it truly does not matter to me) but is a great motivator. Boys never want Dad to beat them at anything. To add even more motivation we have a weight lose bet, the losers must pay the winner for each pound lose. Hee Hee at the Thanksgiving table this coming year. Win or lose it will still be a great benefit to us all due to our sizes. God Bless each of you and keep on pounding.
Hi Uncle.. be sure to check in on the 200 + page too. There are a TON of people over there.
I hear ya. I'm out of shape overweight.. .and Darn it... I'm going to do this. I'm just really thankful that this couch to 5 k plan exists as well as this community!!! Such inspiration it is

Ohio high court hears Keck appeal
Marietta man seeks new sex crimes trial
May 8, 2013
The Ohio Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a Washington County case involving a local man found guilty of 29 child sex crimes who now hopes to get a new trial. Marietta resident Daniel ....
It's unfortunate that there is any reason at all for him to be able to appeal this conviction, but he does have that right.
Polaris, knowing his father and that he was/is a nice guy has zero relevance. Keck was born the way he is. His brain is hard-wired to be sexually attracted to male children.
I wonder why anyone who is Gone from the MOV takes such an interest in the goings-on in Marietta. Seems it's often to hold himself as the standard to which all the poor unfortunates who live here are compared. If Gone would spend as much time concentrating his efforts where he now lives as he does on Marietta, he might establish new roots and bloom where he's now planted.

Two experts worked on the DNA profile of Keck but only one testified at trial. For this reason, his attorneys expect him to get a new trial? Pretty flimsy reason to get his conviction overturned and a new trial. Lets hope the ohio Supreme Court has sense enough to see this claim has no merit.

Ok one more video for today!
Love her or hate one thing is for certain.
Her closet is to-die-for!
I am not officially craving all things sparkly and crystal studded!
Gossip tidbit: Someone once told me that Paris Hilton's personality is an act. This particular person who relayed the message to a friend of mine got a chance to meet Paris and they said that she's quite serious. Notice how her voice changes to "normal" and back to "girly" towards the end of the video (4:49 mark).

Soccer Day 5K Helps Raise Autism Awareness
Vodpod videos no longer available.
On May 15, the Kansas City Wizards hosted their first 5K to benefit Autism Speaks. Among the many runners were a class of students , who have autism, from Gardner Edgerton High School (GEHS) in Gardner, Kan., who trained for a month and a half. The students, featured in this video, wore the number "304," which is their classroom number. Following the race, the same lucky students did the coin toss and presented medals to the race winners at the Wizards' autism awareness game.
Thank you to all the runners, volunteers, Ponch from Mix 93.3, Jimmy Conrad with the KC Wizards, Missouri Rep. Jason Grill and especially the Kansas City Wizards organization for hosting this event to support the Kansas City autism community.
May 26, 2010 at 5:30 pm
I am a mother of a 17 year old with autism. It has been an exceptionally difficult experience for me. I had a husband(now an ex) who could not and would not get involved. I call him father of the year. He shows up to make himself look good, but does very little to help our son. I have had to live on a small bit of income, doesn't seem like I am eligible for any benefits, and life has been really tough. I love my son more than life itself and have done everything humanly possible. I home schooled him when the alternatives were so bad, and when I finally found an exceptional program, my school district refused it. Please tell me what I can do locally. I need to do something, I am so fustrated. It seems without legal backing, children like my son are doomed.
May 27, 2010 at 2:35 pm
If you are in the KC area, I know a good OT (Autism Consultant) that my wife work with (she works with kids with Autism in the local area) and she is our consultant for our 3 year old Autism boy. She is located at the back side facing towards 435 at Town Center in Leawood near the Kansas Sampler. She is great. I understand with the whole cost thing about schoolings and nothing is covered if you live in Kansas but Missouri just pass the law up to $40000 a year covered. We are lucky enough that our school district has some kind of school with Autism and special education needs before Preshoool age.

Residents appeal plan for Walmart on Ringling
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 6:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 6:59 p.m.
SARASOTA - A neighborhood group headed by former mayor Kelly Kirschner is appealing a planning board decision to allow Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to build a 24-hour-a-day Supercenter on the fringes of downtown Sarasota.
Wal-Mart's plan for the 98,000-square-foot store at the Ringling Shopping Plaza, combining general merchandise and grocery sales, was approved Nov. 14 by city planners.
Because the land is zoned for retail commercial use, planners said City Commission approval is not required.
While a few residents registered mild complaints at the planning board meeting, their concerns had more to do with providing a pathway through the Walmart parking lot to Payne Park, than with whether the Supercenter is allowed under existing code.
Kirschner told the Herald-Tribune that he spoke "with every single planning board member before the meeting."
"My understanding was they were conversant with the zoning code, and specifically with the fact that a department store is a prohibited use in that zoning district.
"That is a district that is exclusively for small-scale retail and is extremely sensitive to architectural design," Kirschner said. He said the zoning provisions on the Alta Vista neighborhood "says it is extremely sensitive to operating hours."
Wal-Mart plans to operate the store 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
A Wal-Mart spokesman said that the company typically expects to open a store one year after approval.
City Hall spokeswoman Jan Thornburg confirmed Thursday that the email initiating the appeal was filed in a timely manner.
Kirschner said he expected to solidify opposition to the plan at a Thursday night meeting of the Alta Vista Neighborhood Association.
Developer Ron Burks, who controls a planned nearby condo project, joined in initiating the appeal, as did Juanita Rawlinson, Candy Spaulding, Jerry Sparkman and Marian Maxson.
The appeal is not on the City Commission's agenda.
"It will be up to City Commission whether they want to hear or don't," Thornburg said. "If yes, it will be set for a public hearing. If no, that is end of it as far as the commission is concerned."
"It is important that they do hear this," said Kirschner. "This is something that is of great concern to the neighborhood. We elect them to represent us."
