pyite: they came out hot on this one. pyite in 99 seemed to be very deep and funky. they kept playing it and we couldn't get enough of it.
billy breathes: they were slowing it down a little early for my tastes, but they sounded good none the less
guyute: killer guyute. they nailed this bad boy.
wolfman's brother: here is where this one got good. jerry douglas on the dobro for this song made a world of difference. jerry is a wizard and his talents were really on display on this wolfman's. it really got the crowd rocking. we all had a feeling we may be in for something different on this night.
beauty of my dreams: this is one of my favorite phish blue grass covers. douglas stayed on stage and the addition of ronnie mccoury and tim o' brien didn't hurt.
doin' my time: this is one of my favorite blue grass songs and phish's take did not disappoint. sure, it was no flatt and scruggs but hey... o' briend sounded good on vocals too.
roggae: this is easily my favorite roggae, not saying much i guess. the blue grass guys really added a nice inflection on this one. good take.
water in the sky: more blue grassy goodness, but this was a nod at the storm that was looming/arriving.
gbott: unfortunately, i saw this song a whole shit of load times in the summer of 99, and i have to hear the best version of the summer right off the bat. this one killed. like wolfman's, douglas on the dobro did a good song wonders.
poor heart: best poor heart ever! every muscian took a solo, and they all sounded wonderful. unfortunately, this was the last we would see of the blue grass guys tonight.... they weren't really missed that much with the killer set forthcoming
set 2
down with disease: this one is huge. it is one of the few times i have seen them bring a 2nd set dwd back home to the ending without putting something in the middle. with the rain killing us, even making its way into our cush pavillion seats. they took this one really deep and it got a little spacey, but then they started to pull it up. i was wondering wherer they were going to take this one next before they turned it around and closed out with the normal dwd ending before crashing down into
prince caspian: normally, along with bug, i despise this song. on this night, after such a monster dwd, who can complain. a nice page solo at the end led into...
yem: this might be the best yem i have seen. it was nice and long with tons of exploration. gordo and fish were in a nice groove and trey and page put some really hot licks on top of that groove. they seemed to be in sync with the storm, and the jam was just awe inspiring
character zero: this one really seemed out of place. not a fan of this pick.
set 1:
wolfman's brother, doin' my time, poor heart, guyute
set 2:
dwd, yem
due to the heavy storm, phish had to play a short second set, but i don't think i heard a single person complain after this show. even with hating 1/3 of the songs they played in that set, i still rate as one of the best i saw in 99. not to mention, this and the first night of deer creek are a toss up for the best 1st set all saw in 99. the wolfman's and down with disease are must hear!

A narrow victory
A few moments in his match at the Tennis Masters Cup today, it appeared that Roger would lose against Andy Roddick He was down one set to love and he had a double match point against him in the second set tie break at 4-6.
But then, just like many times before, the wheels fell off in Roddick's attempt to oust the best tennis player on the planet. Roger fought off three match points to win the second set tie breaker and then he cruised in the deciding set to defeat his American opponent 4-6, 7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
"One of the only things I probably would have changed about that point at 6-4 is putting a first serve in," Roddick said. "This won't be the last time I think about that." Roger also agreed that was the turning point.
"Early on in the tiebreak already when I was down 4-1 and him serving ... I thought, well, probably not my day, I'm not playing that great and he's not giving me a chance, so I guess that's it.," Roger said afterwards. "But I told myself, you know, maybe I can make him nervous by just staying along and in the match. That's what happened. I don't know if he got nervous or it just went my way in the end, but it was really close, that's for sure," he said.
Roger has now extended his winning stretch in round-robin matches at the season-ending championship to 14 and his streak against Roddick to eight. He's 12-1 career against Roddick, who has not beaten our star since the semifinals at Montreal in 2003.
Roger will meet Ljubicic on Thursday at 12.00 (Swiss time).
I just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow against Ivan i know you will do your level best and thats all i ask for i just hope and pray it's abit easier then your last match fingers crossed.
And congrats on getting into the Peop
Mi e' quasi venuto un'infarto, gia' mi consolavo della tua eventuale sconfitta e invece .... il Migliore ha sgominato Roddick, come sempre.
Tu Roger sei il Migliore, in tutti i sensi.
Facci ancora sognare Mister Tennis.
marina Re
Goodbye till tomorrow
Congratulations, well done!!
Your defense game was absolutely brilliant, and you stayed calm. I think all us fans were biting our nails. The best to you and your team for the match with Ljubicic.
Your fan,
I was at sch
wouter a great fan of you

I'm in a horrible food rut. I tend to put the crockpot away in the summer but it is so darn convenient.
Any ideas?
I'm in a horrible food rut. I tend to put the crockpot away in the summer but it is so darn convenient.
Any ideas?
You can do spareribs in a crockpot; that and the Big Green Egg are my two favorite methods. But I'll be watching this thread for other ideas. I like crockpots, too.
The crockpot rotisserie chicken is pretty simple and, depending on the size of your family, there are leftovers for salad or sandwiches.
* Exported from MasterCook *
Smoked Chicken in Slow Cooker ~
1 whole chicken
1/4 cup liquid smoke
Season and place in slow cooker, breast side down. Pour liquid smoke over the chicken, cover and cook on Low until done (4-6 hours - depending on slow cooker).
Cashew Chicken ~
1 1/2 pounds chicken 1" cubes
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large green pepper, sliced
8 green onions, 1" pieces
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup cashews
Add soy sauce and water; cook until chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in cashews.
Slow Cooker - Cook on Low 3-4 hours. Add cashews and stir. Serve over rice. (To pour over the chicken and rice, double the sauce ingredients.)
Pork Burrito Casserole ~
pork roast
1 can enchilada sauce, mild or hot
flour tortillas
onions, chopped
cheddar cheese, shredded
Spanish rice
pinto, or black beans
chunky salsa
sour cream, or Greek yogurt
cilantro, chopped
Cook pork and enchilada sauce in the slow cooker on Low about 7 hours. Drain and shred. Heat tortillas, fill with meat and a little juice. Roll, envelope-style, and place in casserole seam-side-down. Add more enchilada sauce, or meat juices, and sprinkle with shredded cheese, Bake 350 degrees, until the cheese is melted. Serve with Spanish Rice, beans, chunky salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
Pinterest recipe instruction: "2 Pita Pockets cut in half length-wise". Actually, I cut mine crosswise - I'm such a rebel.
Crock pot meals scream heavy food /wintery food to me. Certainly a pork shoulder would be a good choice for some Tex Mex dishes as well as a whole chicken to shred . I have many recipes pinned and would be happy to share if you could narrow it down to what you would enjoy! I agree, the CP is great in the summer to cut heat, but I don't think the recipes are summery.
I actually have a peach glazed pulled pork with a bourbon sauce in the crockpot now. Do you have July's CL? that is where the recipe came from, I really like it ingredients, so different, it has a smoked paprika rub, in addition to the peach preserves, it also has balsamic vinegar and mollasses. I will post a review tomorrow.
Crock pot is a year round thing to me. #1 benefit in the summer is that things can be prepared easily while you are out having fun and that it doesn't warm up your kitchen
Plenty of recipes scream summer to me, there are plenty of shredded bbq chicken or beef recipes where the meat ends up in buns or as taco filling.
The one I think of the most though is French Dip sandwiches. I use the crockpot 365 blog recipe
- 2 lbs thin pieces of steak meat
- 1/2 T sugar
- 2 T butter
- 3 cups beef broth
- 12 oz bottle of Redbridge beer
- 1/2 t black pepper
- 1/4 cup cooking sherry
- 1 yellow onion, cut in rings
- 3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
- 1 t gluten free Worcestershire sauce
Put the butter into the bottom of the crockpot and turn on. Add the meat, garlic, and onions, and swirl around in the butter.
Pour in the broth, beer, and cooking sherry. Add pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
If your meat is still in large chunks, remove it carefully, and slice. Return the meat back to the broth.
Serve on rolls. I made rolls from the Whole Foods 365 bread mix, and added some cheddar cheese to the sandwiches. Traditionally, gruyere is used.
Dip the sandwich into the broth before each bite for a nice juicy flavor and consistency.
Although I don't use it a lot in the warmer months, I love Eating Well's bbq pulled chicken recipe.
Can't you just eat what I put in front of you? Do you have to know what it is?
Ria Parkinson, Butterflies (BBC, 1978-83)
I just shared (here is the link:http://community.cookinglight.com/sh...kbook-giveaway) a recipe for an Asian salad that starts with a slow cooker. I was looking for a recipe myself right now though too. And it is SO much harder in the summer. The recipes are barely there! But I swear they should be.
Muffins are for people who don't have the 'nads to order cake for breakfast.
--Seth, "Kitchen Confidential" (the show, not the book)
Here is the recipe. It was verygood, but the molasses was overpowering. I added more preservesto the sauce to mellow it. I would cut that back to maybe a 1/4 cup. Also
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Bourbon-Peach Barbecue Sauce
Smoked paprika comes from a centuries-old tradition in which chile peppers are slowly dried over low-burning fires of Spanish oak and then ground into powder. In the slow cooker, this earthy, aromatic spice adds outdoor smoked barbecue flavor.
This recipe goes with Bourbon-Peach Barbecue Pulled Pork Sliders
Cooking Light JULY 2014
Yield: Serves 12 (serving size: about 3 ounces meat and about 2 tablespoons sauce)
Hands-on:30 Minutes
Total:7 Hours
2 teaspoons Spanish smoked paprika
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (3 1/2-pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast (Boston butt), trimmed
Cooking spray
1/2 cup unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup molasses
2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup peach preserves
2 cups vertically sliced onion
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons cold water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper; rub evenly over pork. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 10 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Place pork in a 6-quart electric slow cooker.
2. Add stock and next 4 ingredients (through crushed red pepper) to skillet; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add preserves, stirring with a whisk. Pour mixture over pork; top with onion and garlic. Cover and cook on LOW 6 1/2 hours or until pork is very tender. Remove pork from pan, reserving liquid; cool slightly. Shred with 2 forks. Remove onion with a slotted spoon; add to pork.
3. Place a large zip-top plastic bag inside a 4-cup glass measuring cup. Pour cooking liquid into bag; let stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into skillet, stopping before fat layer reaches opening; discard fat. Stir bourbon into drippings; bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes or until mixture is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Combine 2 tablespoons cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk; add cornstarch mixture to sauce, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Drizzle sauce over pork; toss gently to coat.

Our Idiot Brother: You're Wearing Food
- Air Date:
- Every family has one: the sibling who is always just a little bit behind the curve when it comes to getting his life together. For sisters Liz (Emily Mortimer), Miranda (Elizabeth Banks) and Natalie (Zooey Deschanel), that person is their perennially upbeat brother Ned (Paul Rudd), an erstwhile organic farmer whose willingness to rely on the honesty of mankind is a less-than-optimum strategy for a tidy, trouble-free existence. Ned may be utterly lacking in common sense, but he is their brother and so, after his girlfriend dumps him and boots him off the farm, his sisters once again come to his rescue. As Liz, Miranda and Natalie each take a turn at housing Ned, their brother's unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their comfortable routines. But as each of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's family comes to realize that maybe, in believing and trusting the people around him Ned isn't such an idiot after all.

In our online world, the increasing numbers of citizen journalists continues to raise challenging ethical issues.
Some enterprising writers provide excellent contributions; others masquerade as reporters while trampling the accuracy test that provides the foundation of our profession.
I was reminded of that reading a recent article posted by John Hrabe, who runs CalNewsroom.com, "an independent news website focused on California politics and state government."
"Our focus," according to the website, "is on in-depth investigations that are ignored by the mainstream press. We strive to cover the stories that no one else will. To give a voice to the underdog. To take on the powerful interests."
Laudable goals. With the shrinking mainstream press, the public needs additional reliable reporting. But the "powerful interest" Hrabe took on last week was San Francisco Chronicle political writer Carla Marinucci.
In a piece headlined "SF Chronicle scoop on Kashkari's voting record came from Kashkari campaign," Hrabe suggests that Marinucci's article on the Republican gubernatorial candidate was a planted story. He then questions her ethics by suggesting she should have disclosed that.
Marinucci's responded through Twitter on Monday morning: "Too bad @johnhrabe never contacted me on this story -- it is totally false." And, from everything I can tell, she's right. Hrabe owes her an apology and retraction.
A disclaimer: Marinucci is a friend whom I've known more than 30 years ago, first as a colleague, then as a competitor. She's a standout journalist with tenacity, amazing energy and high professional ethics. And she is legendary for vetting major candidates by investigating an obvious question: Do they bother to vote?
In this case, she discovered Neel Kashkari failed to cast ballots in nearly half the elections in which he was eligible since 1998. It was old-fashioned reporting: She queried election offices, mostly by telephone and in person, where Kashkari had lived.
She says she then went to Kashkari spokesman Aaron McLear for comment. The campaign had researched the same issue. Hrabe claims Marinucci instead got her information from the campaign and never independently verified it.
His entire piece hinges on a false assumption. He writes with emphasis, "In the process of obtaining public records, the requester creates a public record." Hrabe filed public records requests trying to find Marinucci's. When he couldn't, he concluded that she never sought the voting information.
But there is no legal requirement to submit a written request to obtain public information. Some, not all, elections offices require that requesters, usually seeking bulk data, sign that they're not using the information for nonpolitical commercial purposes.
But, generally, "a person's voting history is public information, and doesn't require a Public Records Act request. It's open," says Joe Canciamilla, elections chief in Contra Costa. He adds he would have provided Marinucci the same information without creating a paper trail.
A good editor would have questioned Hrabe's claim. But Hrabe has no editor at CalNewsroom.com. "I'm solely responsible for that piece," he wrote me in response to questions.
Hrabe works for two other online sites. He's editor of the conservative aggregator site FlashReport.org, which featured his story on Marinucci prominently, and contributor to CalWatchdog.com, a journalism project of the conservative Pacific Research Institute think tank. Both sites disavow involvement with Hrabe's story.
Asked why he didn't contact Marinucci for comment, Hrabe responded that she would have then "beat CalNewsroom.com to publication," suggesting competitiveness was more important to him than fairness and accuracy. One wonders what she would have published, that he was trying to besmirch her?
Even if Hrabe's thesis were true, why would it matter? Here, Hrabe tries to play media watchdog, citing in his article the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics to "Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability."
That same code also says, "Diligently seek out subjects of news stories to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing."
When asked whether his piece stood up to journalistic standards, he wrote back, "Unlike major media outlets, CalNewsroom.com does not claim to follow the guidelines of the Society of Professional Journalists."
That explains a lot.

Voter turnout across Mid-Michigan has been slow but steady for Tuesday's elections.
In Lansing about 18 percent of registered voters were expected to be out to the polls, according to Lansing City Clerk Chris Swope.
Swope said a big driving factor for turnout in any election is generally the race at the top of the ticket.
In Lansing it's the race for mayor, which isn't hotly contested, Swope said.
"That top of the ticket really drives the biggest turnout so what we do have right now is contested city council seats so right now that's what's driving the turnout... that and the base of people that just always vote no mater what," he said.
In Jackson they're "on track" to match the number of voters who voted for mayor in 2011 with about 12 percent of registered voters coming to the polls, according to Carmen Ryan the city's election coordinator.
And in East Lansing, about 8 percent registered voters were at the polls, a number skewed by a large number of voters registered on Michigan State's campus who don't vote, according to clerk Marie Wicks.
Wicks said overall turnout in the city was "stead but slow."

The U.S. motor industry has worked on a standardized basis for more than three-quarters of a century. The standardization agency National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) was established in 1926 to promote the standardization of electrical apparatus and supplies. As a result of this group's efforts, you can expect motors from different manufacturers to meet or exceed minimum performance
Discuss this Article 4
Hi i have a question i was looking at a 3 phase star/delta set up and notices the overload was lower than expected it was a 37kw motor which is 66 amps to my calculations but overload was 38 i think roughly. I looked on the motor and found at 50hz 660v at star gave the same amps as what the overload was set at. do u understand what im on about as we only work 3 phase at 415. i would be really greatfull if u could help me
thank you
Dear as you are working on 415V so definitely the amperes which you have calculated are exact. On 415V just the thing you have to do is that increase the adjustments of overload at almost 70amp to be on safe side. As you will increase in volts the value of current will decrease so at 660V the adjustment of overload is right which is 38Amps.
hello, im asked to find a better 3phase induction motor. the current motor is 400v, 3.51A, 0.79 power factor, power of 1500W and 1400 r/min.The problem is the current motor trips under a certain load. I want to know what specifications to change so as to archive the expected operation.

|India's exceptional shimmer and perfect coloring drew my eye immediately. Sold in ball form, this ribbon yarn doesn't truly come alive until you unleash it on your needles.
Made of 100% polyamid, India is produced in Italy for Lana Grossa and ships in 60-yard balls that retail for $13.25 apiece. You can find it online at ImagiKnit in San Francisco.
As you unravel the ball, you'll discover that the yarn was folded in half during processing. When laid flat, it is approximately 3/4-inches wide, although it will do everything in its power to fold back up again.
Feather-thin strands of shimmery fiber run the width of the yarn, held in place by six evenly spaced binder threads.
It's hard to tell if the yarn is produced on a loom, knitting machine, or a combination of both, but the end result is a semi-transparent ribbon with six fine "stripes" that run up the length of the yarn.
For this review, I used the color Lake, a stunning blend of blue, green, and gold.
|Artfibers Houdini Up Close
|From San Francisco's Artfibers, Houdini is nearly identical to India, and I'd venture to guess the two came from the very same mill. It is slightly wider than India, lies perfectly flat, and ships in 100-yard hanks that retail for $15 apiece.
From a consumer standpoint, the differences between Houdini and India boil down to two things: price (Houdini averages $.15 per yard, while India is $.22 per yard) and color (Houdini was hand-painted by humans at Artfibers, while India was most likely machine-dyed at the mill).
You'll only find Houdini through Artfibers.com.
Both India and Houdini are not of a uniform color. India is dyed in short bursts of different colors, while Houdini has slower blends of color that follows one master shade. I used the Moulin Rouge shade of Houdini, a flickering blend of red and pink and purple.
|Knitting Up
A swatch of Lana Grossa India
|The first rule of thumb when working with any sheer ribbon such as these: use smooth needles! I began my swatches using a pair of seemingly smooth, vintage Boye wooden needles.
By the second row, faint irregularities in the needle tips had shredded my ribbon beyond repair. A tug here and there did nothing to restore the ribbon to its original pristine state.
|I then switched to Denise Interchangeable Needles and discovered the second rule for wide ribbons: use needles with a blunt tip. The sharp, pointed tip on the Denise needles routinely stabbed the ribbon, creating awkward large holes that could only be partially fixed.
Both of these yarns had a tendency to twist up on themselves. Trying to keep the ribbon perfectly flat as you knit is a futile quest that will only drive you crazy.
But likewise, you don't want to knit with ribbon that has totally twisted on itself—you want the ribbon to unfold and bloom into place when knit, and if it's twisted, it won't do this. My advice is to stop every few rows and dangle your work to let the twist work itself out.
|By compressing wide ribbon into narrow stitches, you end up with thick, plush fabric that feels almost sponge-like in its elasticity. Although stitches are visible, any complicated stitchwork would engulf your fabric and detract from the natural beauty of the ribbon.
I'd recommend a simple stockinette or stockinette/garter combo instead.
A swatch of Artfibers Houdini
Lana Grossa recommends handwashing for India. Although Artfibers omits any washing instructions, I'd also advise a handwashing of Houdini items in lukewarm water with mild soap.
In both cases, because the yarns are prone to snagging against any even faintly rough surface, be careful with agitation during wash and rinse. I blotted my swatches dry, gave them a quick shake, and they returned to their earlier bouncy thickness.
Unless you want a ribbon pancake on your ironing board, do not let a hot iron come anywhere near either India or Houdini.
Possible Incarnations
Although we're essentially using huge needles to knit ribbon, I was surprised at the beauty and elegance of the resulting fabric. It was thick and textured, looking almost like velvet from afar.
Both ribbon yarns would make stunning sweaters or summer shawls, snags notwithstanding. They would also serve as striking embellishments to sweaters, accessories, felted items, and yes, giftwrap!

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Stars in New Fiat Spot
Italian car maker Fiat said it is beginning a global advertising campaign called "Mirage" this week starring the singer and entertainment producer Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The campaign, which begins tomorrow with television commercials, launches the brand's new "Unbelievably Big" tagline for its 500L model. The ad reflects the company's strategy to focus consumers' attention on the newer, larger 500L model tan followed the subcompact 500 to the U.S. market.
Fiat is laying the groundwork for a wider range of models in the U.S. while also trying to shake nagging negative feelings about the brand left over from the 1970s and 1980s, the last time its cars were widely available here.
In the commercial, two lost men wander through the desert looking for water and rescue. They spot two Fiats driving by, and Combs, holding a bottle of water, calls to them from one of the cars. But the guys wave him off, assuming they are seeing a mirage.
Later they encounter Combs again, this time as he hosts a party for his Revolt music network at a desert oasis. He invites them in, saying, "Welcome to the soiree." But they turn him down again, concluding this is another mirage, in part because, as one erroneously says, "FIAT doesn't make a four-door car."
Watch the spot here.

Three Taken Into Custody at Central Connecticut State University
UPDATED | Police at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain have taken three people into custody in an investigation of a student seen wearing camouflage and possibly carrying a sword and a gun near campus, officials said. There were no injuries, officials said.
"We received 911 calls of a person that was apparently armed and causing some amount of alarm as they walked through the campus," said New Britain Police Department Chief James Wardwell. When police responded, the 911 callers "assisted in directing our officers…exactly where to go," Mr. Wardwell said.
The suspect "was walking then started running. It started to alarm people," said Chris Cervoni, the university's director of public safety.
Police later spotted the suspect on a campus security camera holding what appeared to be a sword, Mr. Cervoni said, though no weapons have been recovered as of Monday evening.
"We're going back into the rooms to search the rooms further," Mr. Cervoni said, who added that the camouflage "possibly could have been a Halloween costume, that's what we're looking into."
One of the three people in custody is a student at CCSU, Mr. Cervoni said. It's unclear if the other two are students, he said.
"They were in the same room with the third party," Mr. Cervoni said.
Police searched an eight-story residence called James Hall for the suspect, officials said. The building is the campus's largest coed dorm, housing 415 students, according to the school's Web site.
The campus went on lockdown at about 12 p.m., with students told to stay indoors and away from windows. At about 3:20 p.m., the lockdown was lifted, officials said.
The sounds that you just heard was campus police indicating that the campus is ALL CLEAR #ccsu. You may now leave the buildings.
— CCSU (Central) (@CCSU) November 4, 2013
Students turned to social media and television news for updates but found little new information as the events were unfolding.
"It was hard for a couple hours just figuring out what was going on. That was the worst part—just not knowing," said Kathleen Ericson, 19 years old, a second-year business management student from Newington, Conn. She was in a classroom with about 25 other students.
Once the students understood what was happening, many called and sent texts to family, letting them know they were safe, Ms. Ericson said. The students, in turn, were checking on their friends who live in James Hall.
"I was texting them because a couple of them were in their rooms still on the same floor where all that was going on. They had to barricade their doors," Ms. Ericson said.
Students on lockdown in their dorm rooms and classrooms posted photos on Twitter of police activity, including a man who appeared to be handcuffed and surrounded by police officers.
All classes and events were canceled for Monday, and the school will resume a normal schedule on Tuesday.
"While there was no act of violence today, the actions taken once these reports came in are exactly why it is so important to say something if you see something," Gov. Dannel Malloy said in a press release. " Unfortunately, incidents like these will occur, but today showed us the ideal way for them to conclude – with no one seriously harmed."

Lionmail Policies
Use of Email
The Lindenwood University provides electronic mail services to currently enrolled students, faculty, staff and others affiliated with the University. It encourages the use of email in support of instruction, research, and public service. Students are urged to make extensive use of e-mail to communicate with others. Incidental personal use is acceptable, provided such use does not excessively burden the electronic mail system.
Specific Prohibitions
All University email users are expected to use e-mail services responsibly, i.e. to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, and with other University policies. If there is reason to believe that an individual's e-mail account is being used in a violation of law or University policy, or if an account is used in a way that threatens to disrupt service to other users, Computer Services may restrict or suspend that account's access to e-mail services, until Computer Services is reasonably assured that the illegal or disruptive use of the account will cease.
It is not possible to provide a comprehensive list of all possible violations. However, the following list of activities is specifically prohibited:
Use of e-mail to threaten or harass individuals on or off-campus
Use of a false e-mail address (i.e., mail "spoofing")
Any attempt to disrupt another person's ability to use their computer account
Any material use of the Lindenwood University's computer systems to support a "for-profit" activity
Initiating or forwarding of "chain letters"
Violations of copyright law
The Lindenwood University will make reasonable efforts to ensure the privacy of your e-mail and other computer files. An exception is undeliverable mail that is routed to the "postmaster" of an e-mail system, who may need to inspect the mail in order to forward, return or otherwise dispose of such messages.
Note, however, that transmission of mail is logged. The logs are accessible to authorized Computer Services staff, and can be used in the investigation of possible e-mail abuse. Users of e-mail should be aware that, even though Computer Services personnel may not intentionally view others' e-mail, the contents of e-mail messages may sometimes be visible to network and systems personnel during the performance of their duties.
Authenticity of E-mail
Since there is no guarantee that electronic mail is authentic, it is prudent to be somewhat skeptical of the "From:" addresses that appear in messages. On-campus as well as off-campus messages can very easily be "spoofed," i.e. the message is sent in such a way that it appears to be from someone other than the true sender. Anyone who has doubts about the identity of the sender of any message should communicate with the purported sender by some other means (e.g. phone) to confirm the content of the message
Forwarding / Redirection of E-mail
Lindenwood University Information Services does not support routing of your lionmail to third-party clients or software. You are able to forward your Lionmail email to another email account; by using the Options tab within your Lionmail; but it is done so at the students' risk. Lindenwood University Information Services is not responsible for problems in the handling and security of email forwarded to outside parties.

THIS is almost funny — but perhaps not, if you're a Republican or have only a high school education or less:
An anti-evolution group filed a federal lawsuit Thursday to block Kansas from using new, multistate science standards in its public schools, arguing the guidelines promote atheism and violate students' and parents' religious freedom.
The group, Citizens for Objective Public Education, had criticized the standards developed by Kansas, 25 other states and the National Research Council for treating both evolution and climate change as key scientific concepts to be taught from kindergarten through 12th grade.

A black Hole in your dimensional space is another reality system whose co-ordiantes interface with those of the Earth. It is a locus of being for a collective identity, just as Earth is a locus of being for a collective Human identity. The collective or star referred to as Black Hole is neither dead nor gone. Its focus of consciousness is just temporarily redirected into other dimensional co-ordinates that preclude its appearance in your space/time continuum. The field your scientists interpret to be unoccupiable and inescapable is actually holding the star's place in space, the way you might put a "Reserved" sign on your airplane seat if you wanted to get off for a walk between legs of a flight. Because the collective identity of the star has taken a walk somewhere your consciousness cannot currently reach, instead of percieving its manifestation, you percieve it as a gap in your space/time continuum. Your scientists think of it as being sealed off behind its own event horizon. In fact it is Human perception that is sealed off behind their current consciousness horizon.

Veteran's Day observers had a chance to honor hometown heroes Saturday through a more hands-on experience. News 12 explains how visitors and veterans learned from one another by telling stories too often kept silent.
Margaret McGowan came to the Veteran's Day exhibit at the Augusta Museum of History hoping to learn more about her husband's days of war.
"He never really talked about it," McGowan said.
A common sentiment from family members of military veterans.
"I've had sons and daughters with them come up to me and say dad has never said that, he's never about it like this to us," said Jeff Mosser, war collector.
One reason why local American history buffs like Jeff Mosser enjoy displaying their wartime collections for the public.
"A lot of vets will come in and see something they'll make a connection with," Mosser said.
He says veterans who see their collections of old military uniforms, weapons and other personal belongings gives vets and their family members a chance to bring back old memories.
While Jeff says he gets to learn about history, straight from the horse's mouth.
"Not just me lecturing people of what I know but real vets telling me what they know because they were there, not me," Mosser said.
Loved ones like Margaret…
"I know they were WWII Private stripes and three stripes," Margaret said.

How well adults can use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve their goals, and to develop their knowledge and potential is the definition of literacy. This definition was crafted by a panel of experts for the National Adult Literacy Survey and adopted for use by ETS in state, national and international surveys.
As society becomes more technologically advanced, the quantity and types of written materials are growing. Adults are expected to use information from these materials in new and more complex ways and to maintain and enhance their literacy skills through lifelong learning activities.
Literacy skills are critical not only for the personal achievement of individuals, but also for the social and economic development of each nation. These skills are no longer linked to a single threshold that separates the literate from the nonliterate.

Camino reaches its end
After a decade-long run, Camino is no longer being developed, and we encourage all users to upgrade to a more modern browser. Camino is increasingly lagging behind the fast pace of changes on the web, and more importantly it is not receiving security updates, making it increasingly unsafe to use.
Fortunately, Mac users have many more browsers to choose from than they did when Camino started ten years ago. Former Camino developers have helped build the three most popular – Chrome, Firefox, and Safari – so while this is the end of Camino itself, the community that helped build it is still making the web better for Mac users.
Thank you to all our loyal users, and to everyone who contributed in countless ways over the years to make Camino what it was.

All patients are under the care of physicians, who supervise each patient's progress, and are responsible for each patient's overall plan of care. Our goal is to restore each patient as quickly as possible to their highest level of independence and functioning.Why should I consider St. Joseph for my skilled care?St. Joseph has the largest health care network in the region, housing the region's leading trauma center and three critical access hospitals, with multiple rehab locations, physician offices and diagnostic locations. A critical access hospital is a small, acute care hospital. All three of our critical access hospitals offer skilled nursing care outside of a nursing home setting. Our comprehensive team offers the highest quality of care. We understand that making a decision about the care of a family member is difficult. Our commitment to reverence, service and stewardship guide our decisions and the relationships we havewith our patients and their families.How do I get Skilled Nursing Care? The decision to move the patient to a skilled nursing care facility is initiated by the physician and the case manager. Skilled nursing care is a choice for you, your family and your physician. To facilitate the process at any St. Joseph critical access hospital, family members should work with case managers and physicians to contact the facility of their choice. After the facility is contacted, medical and financial assessments are performed to determine the patient's eligibility.Is Skilled Nursing covered by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance?Most medical insurance coverage follows Medicare guidelines. Private insurance and Medicare pay for Skilled Nursing for certain time periods following a hospital stay. A representative from our case management team or patient financial services team can advise you on your eligibility for services.Reasons for Skilled NursingWe are equipped to care for individuals needing 24-hour nursing care, post-operative rehabilitation, as well as chronically ill individuals Some reasons for care include:

VAIL - Vail Mountain, the largest ski resort in the United States, said today its new gondola, installed this summer in conjunction with the resort's 50th anniversary celebration, will be named "One."
The lift's numerical designation will also be No. 1.
The name is a tribute to Vail's original gondola - the first in Colorado - and the first lift skiers took at the resort when it opened on Dec. 15, 1962, in the same location as the new gondola. Vail Resorts also said the name is also a symbol of the resort's ongoing commitment to making Vail the top mountain resort in the world.
Of the 111 gondola cabins, 110 were designed with a silver finish and full-length tinted windows while cabin No. 50 has been painted gold as an ongoing reminder that the lift is an integral part of Vail's 50th anniversary celebration. A grand-opening dedication will be held Friday at 8:30 a.m.
"Vail's new gondola, One, is a tremendous step forward for both Vail Resorts and the ski and snowboard industry as well as an incredible investment in the guest experience," said Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Vail Mountain. "We could not be more excited to officially dedicate and launch it on opening day of such a monumental season for Vail Mountain."
The gondola, constructed by Leitner-Poma of America, is the first of its kind in North America. The 10-passenger cabins feature heated, cushioned seats and Wi-Fi access. It has a speed of 1,200 feet per minute and a ride time of just under eight minutes. It is the fastest gondola of its type in the world, creating a 40 percent increase in uphill capacity over the previous Vista Bahn Express Lift (No. 16), a high-speed quad chairlift constructed in 1985.
More than 70 percent of the lift was manufactured just two hours west of Vail at Leitner-Poma's Grand Junction plant. The cabins and other portions of the gondola were constructed in Europe.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- Are the GreenJackets coming to North Augusta?
"We will address any of those questions on Wednesday," answered North Augusta City Administrator Todd Glover.
There's no announcement yet, but on Friday, Glover made an announcement about the announcement. Next Wednesday, during a North Augusta Chamber of Commerce meeting at 7:15 a.m., the city will reveal its plans to develop the riverfront near Hammond's Ferry.
"We're hopeful that 2013 is going to be a year of development in North Augusta," Glover said.
On Monday, North Augusta City Council will have its third reading on a proposed park and business center, but there's lots of speculation about bigger projects, too.
"Well, we've heard a couple times that the GreenJackets, I guess it's Cal Ripken, would like to move the GreenJackets stadium over here," said George Batten, who lives in Hammond's Ferry.
Batten's house would be only a couple hundred yards from the rumored baseball diamond. He's also heard of the plans to build a Family Y and parking garage near his subdivision, too.
"I just think it's the wrong place," said Batten, who adds that he's a fan of the GreenJackets and attends about 10 games each season.
However, he says he's not a fan of the lights, noise and traffic a possible stadium might bring.
From what he's heard, he says, the people of Hammond's Ferry are generally against the development.
Another concern is that his property value could go down.
"I would think it'd be exactly that opposite -- that you'd see people's property values increase," said Glover, who says he's aware of the concerns.
He says the project, codenamed Project Jackson, isn't a done deal.
"This is a proposal. Nothing has been decided. Council still has to deliberate over it and have public hearings," he said.
Others in Hammond's Ferry said they were "vehemently opposed." Another said this could become the "GRU" of North Augusta. In other words, they say it could be something forced down people's throats.
Additionally, Ballpark Digest is reporting that Ripken Baseball is in the process of selling the GreenJackets for $7.5 million.
By the way, the "Project Jackson" designation comes from the founder of North Augusta, James U. Jackson. In 1891, he called for the development of the North Augusta riverfront in his plan for the city.

UPDATE: Folks are finally able to put the heat on in their homes after a nearly five hour power shortage in Kirkland on a day featuring subzero temperatures.
ComEd says Kirkland suffered two power outages today, one in the early morning, and one that started in the afternoon and lasted until the evening Monday night after powerful wind forced power lines near the town to constantly touch each other, leaving nearly a thousand residents and business owners in the dark and with out heat.
The only sources of heat were in homes with back up generators, cars warming up in their driveways, and the Kirkland Fire Station which served as a warming center as the sun went down. Fire Chief Chad Connell says his Station was being powered by natural gas generators.
Chief Connell says his station was giving shelter to about 20 people by the end of the night as police were driving through the darkness telling the folks they saw sitting in running cars to head on over to the fire station for heat.
By 7:50pm power was restored.
UPDATE: As of 8:00 pm all power has been restored.

Caux Round Table White Paper and Call to Action: United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals
The governments of the world, acting in general assembly under the charter of the United Nations, will adopt 17 global goals for sustainable development.
The draft outcome document of the United Nations summit to the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda (A/69/L.85) proposes that governments agree to "shift the world on to a sustainable and resilient path" to "ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality in a healthy environment" and can "enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature."
This sustainable development agenda for all humankind and the 17 sustainable development goals ("SDGs") open a new chapter in global capitalism.
These goals apply not just to poor and developing countries, but to all countries, companies and to each of us personally.
For the first time, humanity will have a business-like set of outcome objectives for a free market system of living each according to his and her own values with rights to private property and freedom from oppression of all kinds - political, market and intellectual.
This vision of sustainable development embraces what the Caux Round Table ("CRT") has advocated since 1986 - a "moral" capitalism.
To provide business with an implementable vision of sustainable development in support of the SDGs and in harmony with our wisdom traditions from every part of the world, the CRT has issued the attached White Paper and Call to Action.
The white paper has been sent to the leadership of the UN sustainable development initiative. They have received it with appreciation.
The white paper reflects the contributions of hundreds of our colleagues who have convened in some 21 round tables and discussions around the world over the past 15 months. I am grateful to all the organizers of these round tables, to all who participated and to my colleagues who came to Bangkok last month to draft the white paper.
The UN Draft Outcome Document does not, in any substantial way, note the necessary contributions of business and a moral capitalism to the elimination of poverty and achievement of sustainable development. This is a major oversight and conceptual failing, which the CRT white paper addresses.
We are most grateful to the Thailand Sustainable Development Foundation for support of our white paper initiative. We began our quest for relevant ethical guidance for business with respect to sustainable development in Bangkok in 2013 with consideration of Theravada Buddhist mindfulness and His Thai Majesty's recommendations of the "middle path" as dynamic risk management for capitalism, known in Thailand as the "sufficiency economy principles."
We will go forward with a pledge to the UN Economic and Social Council to assist them with follow up and review of the sustainable development agenda. We will now ask our network to promote the pledge by individual business leaders - contained as an annex to the white paper - to provide personal leadership for sustainable development in their companies.
We are discussing the convening of an annual conference to review progress in sustainable development and a recognition award process of those companies which bring to the fore in their business operations the values core to sustainable development.
To read the white paper, please click here (PDF, 8.26 MB).
Ebola and Moral Capitalism
The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa has not yet been contained. The World Health Organization fears that weekly infections could rise to some 10,000 persons, with a 70% mortality rate.
Media attention and political discussions focus on the public sector response, which is appropriate once an epidemic has broken out. Less discussed, however, are the conditions which gave rise to the outbreak.
In brief, they are the consequences of poverty and the absence of successful economic take-off in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The failure of these societies and their governments to incubate and foster robust wealth creation is largely responsible for the epidemic.
The fundamental ethical achievements of capitalism are the creation of jobs, the lowering of costs for consumer goods and services and the spread of new wealth – even though not optimally distributed. Through wealth, new technologies are made widely available, tax receipts are higher so public services improve and the quality of public goods, such as transportation, communications, health care and education, becomes much, much better.

Caux Round Table to Convene Global Series of Round Tables on Sustainable Development
The Caux Round Table has received a significant grant from Thai patrons of sustainability to convene a series of global round tables to frame an approach to the ethics of sustainable development in support of the United Nation's initiative to adopt Sustainable Development Goals for all nations.
In September 2015, the United Nation's General Assembly will adopt Sustainable Development Goals for the global community to succeed the Millennium Development Goals, which will expire next year. A process is underway to collect suggestions for the Sustainable Development Goals (see: http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/?menu=1300).
The adoption of global Sustainable Development Goals will be a milestone in the evolution of a more moral capitalism for our global community as it faces the challenges of inequalities in income and wealth distribution, growing populations and changes in our planet's environment.

Reflections on the 20th Anniversary of the Caux Round Table Principles for Business
The Caux Round Table ("CRT") Principles for Business were launched twenty years ago this past week.
In retrospect, after the collapse of Communism and socialism as viable alternatives to capitalism, the CRT Principles were the first rigorous intellectual advance in the understanding of how free markets and business enterprise could more comprehensively succeed from the perspectives of human flourishing and social justice concerns.
The Japanese, European and American business leaders who authored the CRT Principles in 1994 innovatively raised the level of practical expectations for the outcomes of capitalism as an economic system, one taking into account the relevant demands of civil society and achieving sustainable prosperity.
The CRT Principles were presented to U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan. Several years later, his office sponsored the Global Compact, by which companies and other private sector organizations could pledge their support for nine goals (later ten) set forth for governments by international treaty commitments among sovereign states.

Book Launch of Moral Capitalism II in Croatian [ view photos enlarged ]
On Wednesday, May 21, 2014 in Zagreb, Croatia, the new set of essays by Steve Young, Global Executive Director of the Caux Round Table ("CRT"), titled Moral Capitalism II, was formally introduced at a public lecture in Zagrab hosted by the National Forum and the Croatian Manager's Association ("CROMA"). The book was translated into Croatian by CROMA, which in 2006, had previously translated Moral Capitalism into Croatian, as well.
An E-book version of Moral Capitalism II in English will be published later this year.
Moral Capitalism II covers the following topics: CSR and Public Goods; The Social Ecosystem of CSR; Contribution of Markets – Pricing; Why Did Wall Street Collapse in 2008?; Moral Capitalism and the Great Financial Meltdown of 2008; Is There An Agency Problem?; Sustaining the Agency Problem – Anxiety; Exacerbating the Agency Problem – Money; Agency Problem Adds to Moral Hazard; Overcoming the Agency Problem – Values; I/Thou; Friendship; Do We need Wall Street?; Dodd Frank Reforms – Not Enough; and The Existential Grounds for Moral Capitalism.
While in Zagreb, Steve also spoke at the private university for law and finance, Effectus, and met with leaders of the Croatian Employers Association. He was interviewed by leading newspapers and on the government TV network. Young called on President Josipovic, who agreed to become an advisor to the CRT. Young also met with the Rector and Vice-Rector for Curriculum of the Catholic University of Croatia.
The National Forum has proposed sustainable development goals for Croatia, which reflect the CRT Principles for Business and Principles for Government. The Forum has suggested that those who seek and obtain elected office subscribe to an oath of stewardship commitment, exactly the same in jurisprudence and ethics as the CRT Principles for Government.

Caux Round Table Awards Malaysian Prime Minister with Certificate of Recognition and Appreciation
The disappearance for two weeks of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 after its departure from Kuala Lumpur and then reported crash in the Indian Ocean has given the world a very unsettling demonstration of how fragile our lives can be. At the same time, the unrestrained usurpation by Russia of Ukrainian rights in Crimea has given the world a different, but equally unsettling demonstration of raw power divorced from law and common ethics.
The small efforts of the Caux Round Table ("CRT") are designed - idealistically and without cynical pretense - to highlight alternate ways of thinking and acting, ways more aligned with a deeply ingrained moral sense that is our common heritage transmitted from prior generations.

High Frequency Trading: A Public Good? (Stephen B. Young, Global Executive Director, Caux Round Table). I am increasingly drawn to the proposition that financial markets and capitalism are not soul-mates. They are more like fractious siblings competing for parental attention, or narcissistic partners in a rocky marriage, each needing the other but each fearful of the other's shortcomings. There is a close tie between them which can't be totally severed. Traders in financial markets need real economic activity and growth in order to have financial contracts - stock, loans, options, derivatives, insurance guarantees, etc. - to buy and sell. Finance has no social purpose other than gambling unless there are related economic transactions to use the money which is bought and sold in financial markets. Read on . . .
The Moral Instinct and Organizational Excellence - An American Perspective (Prof. Doran Hunter, Research Fellow, Caux Round Table). Thomas Jefferson, in a 1787 letter to Peter Carr, made a profound observation about human nature that only now is being verified by neuroscience and behavioral genetics studies. Man is, Jefferson wrote, a social animal and is "endowed with a sense of right and wrong." If one would "State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor … the former [would] decide it well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules." Today neurobiologists and psychologists are scientifically confirming Jefferson's observation by demonstrating that human beings are "hard wired" to make initial moral judgments without knowing why they are making them and then using reason to support their judgments. The content of such judgments seems to be an emotional human need to treat others as one wishes to be treated. It seems that David Hume was correct: reason is the slave of human emotions. Could this human predisposition to act morally in most situations explain why 95% of business arrangements and other forms of negotiable agreements and understandings are carried out with honesty, fairness and probity?

CSR and Public Goods (Stephen B. Young, Global Executive Director, Caux Round Table). A month or so ago I suggested that a very helpful way to understand corporate social responsibility within capitalism is to think of it in structural/functional terms as a mediating process for the private business enterprise with its environment. Private enterprise does not have modern society all to itself. There is government and there is, increasingly, civil society. Private enterprise seeks profit within the rules and regulations set down by government and ingests the social capital provided by civil society. The interactions among business, government, and civil society need constant mediation as a function of successful business enterprise. Such mediation, I suggested, is the function of CSR and CSR managers. Read more . . .

What Happened?
The meltdown of global credit markets starting with American sub-prime mortgage loans, leading to the death of Wall Street as we have known it, and now to a serious global recession, seemingly came out of nowhere. How did it happen? What rules of good business practice were violate to cause such a market failure? The CRT has published a series of short essays addressing these questions. To read them, click here.
Qur'anic Guidance for Good Governance.
The CRT believes that prosperity and successful business endeavor can best occur under conditions of good governance. Social capital is a precondition for the accumulation of financial wealth. Working with scholars from many Islamic countries at a seminar at the International Islamic University Malaysia, the CRT collaborated in opening remarkable vistas of understanding Qur'anic guidance that fully embraces the CRT's ethical Principles for Government. To read these most important essays which refute the thesis that there must be a clash of civilizations between Islam and others, click here.

There were minor traffic jams all over the South Bay on June 19, but it was no reason for concern: There were plenty of police officers on hand to handle the situation.
The traffic tie-ups were caused by groups of runners and bicyclists who were carrying the Northern California Special Olympics torch from city to city. Most of the runners were police officers and sheriff's deputies participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The torch is called the "Flame of Hope."
Members of the Santa Clara County Fire Department escorted the runners and bicyclists, making for quite a spectacle with their horns and sirens sounding.
Locally, the torch run started at Cupertino City Hall, with Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies running 6.6 miles from De Anza Boulevard to Highway 9 in Saratoga, ending up at the Hacienda Inn in Los Gatos. There, the torch was handed off to members of the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department, led by LGMS Police Chief Scott Seaman.
"This is law enforcement's primary national charity," Seaman said. "Law officers in California see the Special Olympics and its remarkable athletes as inspirational, so we're honored to give some of our time to make this show of support."
Seaman and two other LGMS officers rode bikes, while 10 officers chose to run the course from Highway 9 to Los Gatos Town Hall. Then they headed over to Winchester Boulevard and, at Dell Avenue, handed the torch over to members of the Campbell Police Department. Campbell Police Chief Greg Finch led that city's eight runners and four bicyclists.
The Special Olympics are held dear by Campbell Police Sgt. Tom Rogers, who has a special needs daughter.
"One day she'll probably be in Special Olympics, so I want to help any way I can," Rogers said. "Special Olympics is good because all the money that's donated goes to the games; nothing is taken out for overhead."
Rogers has raised about $4,000 for Special Olympics so far this year. "My fundraising drive goes through the end of the year," he said. "I try mainly to get online donations. I also contact local businesses, and send out emails and Twitters."
Campbell agent Ana Spear says attending the Special Olympics is an "amazing" experience. "They have a huge opening ceremony," she said. "The athletes enter with two lines of police officers on either side of them. It's a memorable experience."
The Campbell contingent headed to city hall, and then went down Hamilton Avenue to Leigh Avenue, where they gave the torch over to members of the district attorneys' investigative unit. That group took the torch into Willow Glen, where they handed it off to members of the San Jose Police Department.
The run ended in downtown San Jose with a ceremony at the Center for Performing Arts.
Torch runs were also held the same day in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale.
The Northern California Special Olympics are June 27-29 at UC-Davis. Well over 16,000 athletes are expected to compete in 11 sports, including aquatics, basketball, bocce, hockey, golf and soccer.

This painting dates from Hubert Robert's youth when he was living and working in Rome.
The ordinary people of Rome have settled unselfconsciously in the ruins, which are being used for mundane purposes. These unexpected scenes, which he chanced upon during a walk in the Eternal City, struck the painter's imagination and became a permanent part of his thematic repertoire.
His contemporaries would later interpret them as an illustration of the ravages wrought by time which inexorably destroys the signs of the grandeur of past civilisations. But at the time of their creation, the young artist was simply enjoying himself and taking pleasure in painting.
We see an ancient monument transformed into a laundry where linens are bleached. The strong contrast between shade and light, the large draperies and the vertical lines of the openwork fences punctuate the composition. The steam from the fire which make the air quiver provides the material for a dazzling piece of painting.

Review: Best to Skip 'Playing For Keeps'
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 9:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 6:56 p.m.
The movie "Playing for Keeps" is formulaic, romantic comedy dreck that manages to be neither romantic nor comedic. It has no real plot, no real conflict, a wet Kleenex of a story, and the dullest dialogue I've heard since I accidentally channel surfed onto an episode of "The Hills."
Gerard Butler is George Dryer, a washed-up and broke soccer star who begins coaching his son's soccer team. Oh, and his ex-wife is getting remarried and maybe thinks he isn't spending enough time with the kid. The ex-wife is Jessica Biel, who I guess is a famous actress. Her insipid acting matches the film perfectly.
Now that there's a sexy ex-professional soccer star coaching the kiddie team, would you look at that? Every emotionally unstable, predatory female stereotype in town wants to bend it like Beckham. There's Catherine Zeta-Jones, the Cold Career Woman; Judy Greer, the Emotional Wreck; and Uma Thurman, the Silly Blonde, who is better than this.
Leaving the theater, my companion said to me, "We should have seen the torture porn movie." I said, "I thought we did."
This film earned at 1/2 Star (out of 4)
Natalie Ballard, 31, Lakeland
