The Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity chief said the ongoing assessment of the impact of the Heartbleed OpenSSL flaw on federal IT systems will take time -- and IT security experts warned it might take even longer than initially expected.
In an April 18 post on the agency's website, Phyllis Schneck, DHS' deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity, said the vulnerability was unusual in its reach, ease of use and length of time before it was discovered.
"It is important to note that it takes time to address this issue properly," she wrote. She urged agencies to identify where the vulnerability is, formulate a response and implement that response without inflicting harm on critical systems.
DHS, the Internal Revenue Service and other agencies have declared that their sites were not threatened by Heartbleed. The Defense Department joined that chorus on April 19, when Deputy CIO Richard Hale said the software bug has no effect on DOD's classified networks and minimal effect on its unclassified sites. Upon learning of the OpenSSL flaw, Hale said, DOD immediately blocked "the exploitation of this vulnerability at the boundary between the department's network and the Internet."
Yet Schneck's recommendations and recent steps taken with HealthCare.gov logins show that agencies are proceeding carefully and still determining the full effects of the flaw.
DHS: Heartbleed not a threat to federal websites
Feds warn HealthCare.gov users about Heartbleed
IT security experts agreed that Heartbleed's impact could be insidious and long-lasting for federal systems. "With security, you never know when you're done," said Sushil Jajodia, director of the Center for Secure Information Systems at George Mason University. Heartbleed can be fixed by patching vulnerable equipment such as servers, but security issues evolve, he added.
Heartbleed is a very slippery problem that could open up more ways for criminals or even nation states to sneak into federal IT systems and steal information, said Angelos Stavrou, associate professor of computer science at GMU's Volgenau School of Engineering. One exploit, dubbed Reverse Heartbleed, could be particularly troubling for DHS, said Stavrou, who works mainly on national security projects. Meldium, the firm that discovered the variant on the exploit, said Reverse Heartbleed allows access to networks even though underlying servers have been patched.
According to a statement on Meldium's website, the most straightforward Heartbleed attack would be "a malicious client attacking an HTTPS server to steal cookies, private keys and other secrets." However, "a malicious server can also send bad heartbeat packets to a client that uses OpenSSL and extract data from that client. The [Transport Layer Security] heartbeats used in this attack are symmetric: They can be initiated by either the 'client' or the 'server' in a TLS connection, and both endpoints use the same vulnerable parsing code."
Stavrou said that means DHS and large federal IT agencies not only have to patch hundreds of servers but also have to keep a close eye on external devices at companies and other entities that work with federal agencies.
Meldium said the reverse attack can affect browsers, applications that use HTTP APIs (everything from Dropbox to Microsoft Office) and many mobile apps that run on iOS and Android. "It could be easy to direct one of those clients to connect to a malicious server (as in the case of a Web browser), or it might require a man-in-the-middle attack to redirect a client to an evil endpoint," the company states on its website.
With Reverse Heartbleed, "the problem went from hundreds of servers to thousands of client devices," Stavrou said. He advised federal IT managers to quickly take advantage of patches being offered by IT gear makers such as Cisco Systems and others.
Neither Stavrou nor Jajodia would speculate on how long it might take the government to apply patches to all vulnerable federal systems, but both said the job would eventually get done.
In her April 18 post, Schneck advised agencies that use OpenSSL to update to secure versions of the open-source code, reissue certificates for their websites and ask users to reset passwords.
The federal government "is working at an aggressive yet appropriate pace in our response and acting out of an abundance of caution," she wrote.
The government has enabled network defenses across agencies to detect anyone trying to use the exploit and in many cases to block those attempts, she said. Officials have also started scanning for the Heartbleed vulnerability in IT operations.

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is confusing. Bear with me.
I have two sites I'm working with right now:
Nothing is on the second site. I just own the name.
I'm trying to EXPORT all the content from the WordPress onto the non-WordPress URL.
When I just tried to IMPORT the XML file, I got this message:
Unable to create directory /home/theinflu/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I don't know what to do now. It doesn't seem like I have any options to click on anything or resolve it.
Anyone have any ideas? I need to do this for work and it's crushing me.

He is a WE BUY HOUSES person. He said he would buy it on a landcontract and when it sold he would give us the differance beteen what he got for it and what was owed on it minus his expences and a percentage of the profit.
He said if he did not sell it within a year we could either take the house back or renew for another year.
After a year went by I contacted him when the house hadn't sold and he said I'd better read the contract better.
According to the smaller print buried in the contract, it said he legaly had control of the house for 7 yrs. AND didn't have to make ANY payments on it for that 7 yrs.
When I talked to my bank I found out he was only making the mortgage payments every 3 months just enough to keep them from forclosing.
Also, he had the bank remove my address and had givin them his Post office box #. All these late payments showed up on my credit report and now I can't get a loan for anything or rent an apt based on my credit report for 7 years, when this info drops off.
He finally did sell the house after 3 yrs and by that time he had enough money invested in it we got O dollars for it.
Nothing on a house we had paid on for 20 years. I took this case to the Ohio Attorney General and they said if I sighned the contract there's npthing I could do. Mike Foster told me if I persued this he would sue me for harrasment.
I found some other people he'd done business with at the local clerks office and they told me he did the same thing to them. It must be his regular MO. He advertises CASH FOR YOUR HOME. But this isn't what happens.

I am the buyer of the property sold by Mike Foster
AUTHOR: Rene - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 28, 2003POSTED: Friday, March 28, 2003
Needless to say, several years later when getting the property appraised again on our own, the appraisal of the property came in over $20,000 less than what Mike had it appraised at.
This appraisal was done after many improvements to the home, so the appraisal should have come in higher.
One person that Debbie did not mention in her complaint that works with Mike Foster on appraising the properties is Eric Fulty. Eric also works with a company called Mortgage Resource. Eric had a big hand in getting the appraisal on this property done.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Contributing writer: Kerry Duff | CityBusiness
Dr. Toya Barnes-Teamer, vice president of student success for Dillard University, loves working with college students. She's passionate about helping them reach their higher education goals, graduating from college and having a successful career.
"I work with students every day and I love it," she said. "They can't withdraw from the university without speaking to me first. We discuss their issues, remove the barriers, and then turn things around so they can complete their education."
A student recently came to see her after discovering she wasn't eligible for a Pell grant. The student was a senior with a 3.8 grade point average, and losing the grant made her $1,000 short on tuition.
"She came in and told me she couldn't stay enrolled because she was losing part of her financial package, so I told her we have money available that the president raised through donations that she could use to finish her degree," she said. "The young woman had no idea we had money available. She qualified for the $1,000 and is finishing her degree in May. Other students on campus referred her to me. Word gets around when you help people be successful."
Barnes-Teamer has been at the college for nine years and is responsible for retention and graduation rates. She also handles enrollment management, student support services and student affairs, which includes student leadership development and activities, residential life and campus police.
Dillard University has 1,200 students. Fifty percent live on campus and the other half are commuters. The vice president knows 80 percent of them, she said, from seeing them at events and around campus.
Barnes-Teamer is a first generation college student. She earned her undergraduate and master's degrees at Loyola University. Earning those degrees and a Ph.D. while raising three small children is her greatest accomplishment, she said.
"Finding myself in a vice president's position is also a big triumph," she added. "It wasn't my goal. I just wanted to serve students. Nevertheless, I realized that if I wanted to make a difference for college students, I needed to be at the table and be able to make changes."
She also has a major influence on the policies and procedures that impact student success at the school.
"It's an empowering feeling that not only am I at the table, but I can justify what I'm recommending. My colleagues support me and I can provide information that will allow us to move things in a direction to enhance student experiences," she said.
On a personal level, the vice president is proud of being able to balance her work and family life. All three of her children live on campus at different colleges and the first one will graduate in May.
"That says I've done something right," she said with a chuckle. "All my kids are independent thinkers and have their own goals and objectives and that's a great accomplishment, too. I've also kept them grounded spiritually. We all go to church on Sundays, and if I'm out of town I find a place of worship. We keep God at the core of what we do. I laugh about my son, though. He tries to skirt around church, but it's the only way he's going to get a hot breakfast on Sunday before he heads back to school at Tulane."
Barnes-Teamer was chosen as an honoree for Women of the Year in 2014. She has been reflecting on her contributions to the university and community since then, as well as mentoring young women from Dillard and other institutions across the state. She meets with seven women every other month who are interested in being a vice president, she said.
"All these women reached out to me because they want to know the path I took to get where I am and any other advice I have to offer," she said. "They all aspire to be at this level and all of this happened after I was part of Women of the Year. It's great a great feeling to be recognized for the impact you have on the community in a chosen area."
One topic she spends a lot of time on time with these women, she said, is being able to balance a family and successful career.
"As women, we still have challenges to be successful because we have to balance our careers and family life," she said. "Many women feel it has to be a choice, but you can have both. For me it was about open dialogue and communication with my husband and sharing common goals and objectives. We sat down together and decided what was best for our family. You can't negotiate if you're not communicating."
She also advises young businesswomen to be true to themselves, focus on what they want in life and not what someone wants for them, be pleased with the person they see in the mirror and not give up on what they value for any job or a partner.
NEW ORLEANS – Dillard University is pleased to announce the appointment of Janel Marts Green as Vice President for Business and Finance.
Green had been serving in the role on an interim basis since June 1, 2015, and officially assumed the role of Vice President on March 1, 2016. She has been with the University since 2011, having previously served as Assistant Vice President (AVP) for Business and Finance as well as Budget Director.
"Janel has done an awesome job as our interim CFO," said Dillard President Walter M. Kimbrough. "She came in and was an authentic partner with all campus constituencies, rolled up her sleeves and did the work. Both at the board and cabinet levels, she has received lots of praise for her work."
She is responsible to the President for overseeing Accounting and Finance, Investments, Budgeting and Forecasting, Student Accounts, Human Resources, Information Technology, Facilities and Risk Management, and Auxiliary Services.
Green graduated from the University of New Orleans where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Finance.

Before moving into the banking industry, she also worked in the finance offices of United Healthcare and Ochsner Health System.

Crossfit Workouts
I'm going to discuss some Crossfit workouts for apprentices. Amateurs at Crossfit may discover so much discussion about the "Workout Of The Day", sumo deadlifts and portable weight swings a bit of confounding in the event that they haven't knew about them some time recently.
The Crossfit workouts are essentially like this: Each day, a workout is recommended by the coach, called "Workout of the day", or WOD. Each individual at the Crossfit rec center performs this same workout, the objective is as a rule to complete the workout in as short a period as could reasonably be expected or do however many reps or rounds as would be prudent.
You don't have to stress in case you're an amateur and think you can't deal with a Crossfit workout, on the grounds that the workout is versatile to essentially any wellness level. The coach can assist you with discovering a simpler variety of each activity that is performed.
The practices' majority are anything but difficult to perform, it's the velocity and absence of rest in the middle of sets that is generally testing. On the off chance that you've been in the exercise center a great deal and have the capacity to set up individual numbers, you may even now discover yourself depleted in a matter of minutes of doing a Crossfit workout, that is the way I felt first and foremost.
In case you're still anxious of dunking directly into a Crossfit workout, then here are some Crossfit workouts for novices that you can hone with:
1. Squats. Any variety of squats will do. Doing them with no weight in the lounge room of your home will give you a lot of practice. Simply make a point to watch your structure. There are likewise a lot of varieties that you will learn at Crossfit.
2. Shoulder Presses. On the off chance that you have a barbell, or dumbbells, then you can work on doing shoulder squeezes so as to pick up a touch of quality before attempting Crossfit.
3. Crunches. Any type of crunches will do, since they all do essentially the same thing. Boards are likewise fantastic to fortify your center.
4. Push ups. Customary push ups will do fine and dandy, yet in the event that you need to get a touch of planning for the rate of Crossfit workouts then you may need to attempt the applauding push ups. They are essentially the same, with the exception of that you push much quicker and afterward applaud once in the middle of reps. Cautioning: you may fall all over, that is the thing that transpired once when I had a go at applauding two times.
Lastly, I would prescribe attempting to get into great cardiovascular shape, ideally doing high-power, anaerobic cardio practices subsequent to these are a noteworthy piece of Crossfit.
So these are a couple Crossfit workouts for novices that you can hone with, however like I said before I don't think you have to stress over anything subsequent to the activities are versatile so you can simply appear at a Crossfit workout and begin. Improve performance and muscle growth, supplements are safe, get discounts with Gold standard whey coupons.

Attention - This post is a reply to a post (deleted) which stated, among others, that Hurin deserved more to be "raised to the status of an Elf" than Huor. I added this explanation and I removed the name of the postAuthorID of the deletd post, because otherwise my post would make no sense:
It was Tuor who was joined among the Firstborn, not Huor, and it is a very logical decision of the Powers because Tuor did not have any dealings with decent, noble Men, but only with Easterlings which enslaved him and tried to break his pride, and with their other slaves, miserable and pathetic. His father Huor died before he was born snd his mother Rian abandoned him while he was still a newborn baby, and went to die on the grave of Huor. Tuor was raised by an Elf Annael, then guided to Gondolin by another Elf, Voronwe, then became like a foster son to yet another Elf, Turgon and married and Elf maiden Idril... So it would be really cruel if he should be sundered from Elves for eternity - he really WAS an Elf!...
As for Hurin, the inverse is true: he certainly would not choose to be sundered from Morwen and his children, even if he could to go to Valinor. He was Hurin Thalion, Hurin the Steadfast!

Sons of Gruumsh/Red Hand of Doom - Interest Check
Ok, so I've been debating this for a little while now and am thinking I might try to run a game here. I'm playing in a few, but I don't really have a ton of time for converting the modules over to Eberron, or Forgotten Realms for that matter (although Sons of Gruumsh is there). I'll just use the module as is (at least location-wise, I think I'll need to change up some of the enemies, just in case . But that being said I'll allow stuff from both FR & Eberron if players want it, i.e. shifters & warforged. Deities would be FR (I really like the sheer number of deities and customization options) Anyways, just checking into the interest for this game here. Probably be looking for 4 players, 5 max.
Note: I will be expecting players in it for the long term as it's a pretty long module.
Books Available:
Core - PHB/PHB2, DMG
Completes - Adventurer, Arcane, Divine, Mage & Warrior
Eberron - Campaign Setting, Races of Eberron, Player's Guide
FR - Campaign Setting, Races of Faerun, Player's Guide
Heroes of Horror, Libris Mortis
Magic Item Compendium, Spell Compendium
Anything else needs approval.
Note: I don't have the Tome of Battle, nor do I have access to it, sorry melee characters . If 4e turns out to suck, I might pick it up.
As I said before, this is only an interest so if it doesn't work out please don't kill me . I'd be looking for race/class combo and posting rate, no backstory yet.
Edit: Oh yeah starting level would be 4

Definitely interested.
My first choice would be an elven sorcereress that is exploring her silver draconic heritage thru the various feats associated with the draconic heritage feat tree.
Second choice would be a human cleric, who would be focused upon buffing and entering melee.

I would be really interested in a changeling transmutator/illusionist (racial subs from Races of Eberron).
If the arcane slot is taken, I would like to play a half-giant psionic warrior/fighter/ heading for warmind (could I take a class feature from Comp Psionic (and the PH2 web enhancement) and/or Dungeonscape (Dungeoncrasher) if I provide you with the informations?).
Other possibilities would be a dragon shaman or a hexblade.
I'm at ENworld once a day at least.

This sounds interesting, assuming the campaign has some staying power.
Not certain what I might play yet though; I tend to gravitate towards the more unusual PC types. Any chance that the monster classes from Savage Species might be allowed? No harm in asking right?

Ambrus - I'll reserve the right to disallow anything from the book, but I'm open to making players happy. Note, any evil race will have issues in the towns, etc.
WalkingDad - I'm still considering psionics, but it seems that most of the interested parties want it (I own the revised handbook, just haven't really got into it) so I'll probably re-consider.
All, thanks for taking the time to drop by, I'll make a decision this week and throw up a recruiting thread.

I'm right there with Evo. I actually played through the first couple encounters with Evo, and once before that too. Unfortunately, nobody seems to be able to actually make a serious go of this adventure here.Originally Posted by EvolutionKB
I'd be interested in playing if you get the game going. I've got a dwarf rogue/fighter from the previous game that I would still like to use. And as far as the long term goes, I've never dropped a game, and the two PBPs I DM here are both now over two years running.

It's too bad about making a serious go of this adventure as it's rated as one of the best from 3e/3.5e. I've read through it and it looks awesome, I'll live vicariously through you playersOriginally Posted by Rhun
The more I think about it the more interested I am in running it. I think there's some good interested parties and I'll need some time to put together the maps, etc, but I'm thinking of just jumping right into the Red Hand of Doom and skipping the Sons of Gruumsh. It'll change the starting level to 6.

Leona Lewis announces Glassheart album release date
Leona Lewis has announced she will be releasing her third album Glassheart on 28 November.
The album will contain her current single Collide which was released for download on Sunday.
Leona recently reached an agreement with Swedish DJ Avicii over the single after he accused her of using his piano sample without permission.
Leona's label Syco, owned by Simon Cowell, agreed with the producer to release the track as a collaboration.
The X Factor winner's first album Spirit made her the first British solo artist to top the US Billboard 200 chart with a debut album and sold more than seven million copies worldwide.
Leona, who is set to perform at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend 2012 in the run-up to the Olympics, has released a video showing some behind the scenes footage of her recording her forthcoming album.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I get a call in December 2007 from ASF International stating that my account was past due. I told them that it was impossible because a) billing wasn't performed through them and b) that I had already cancelled my account 4 months before that and hadn't been charged since. They informed me that they had taken over billing for Knuckle Up and that Duvera has transferred all billing information to them. I told that was all fine and good but that my account had already been cancelled. They stated that they showed no record of that OR that I had ever paid ANYTHING on my account.
I told that them that was untrue and that I had proof that my account had been debited each month (via bank statements). They didn't seem to care about that information or the fact that I had already cancelled my account. They were only concerened with the fact that their system showed I owed them money and they would not help me and were very rude and unsympathetic. They said they would cancel my account if I provided them with the same information I provided Duvera (copy of bills with new address). I did that and sent certified letters to ASF, Duvera & Knuckle Up Corporate.
I didn't hear anything for a month and then received a letter stating that my reason stated for canceling has been declined and that they needed a copy of my new drivers license. That they could not even help me until I proved to them that I did in fact move. They would keep charging my account AND late fees on the amounts that I had ALREADY paid (but they didn't show record of) until I gave them that information.
So, in March 2008 I mailed them a letter stating that they were on the verge of harassment because they continued to disregard my information. I included with that letter a copy of my drivers license, a copy of each bank statement showing the deduction and a letter (that I was FINALLY able to obtain after much pleading, they were helpful when they didn't have to be) from Duvera stating that my account had been closed in July 2007 and returned to Knuckle Up on 11/06/07. I have no clue what returned to Knuckle Up means nor do I care because it clearly stating that MY ACCOUNT HAD BEEN CLOSED in July 2007.
Well, today I receive a call from a collection agency on behalf of ASF & Knuckle Up trying to collect over $1000 from me. ASF not only turned it over, they still didn't reflect the correct information on my account that I did in fact pay for 7 months until I cancelled my account.
ASF does not care AT ALL. They are a scam company who only try to ruin people's credit. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are legitimitely default on their contracts and I understand going after those people. But when you have someone who dealt with an entirely different company for billing and cancellation and then 4 months later get a call from another company who won't even consider that the information they received from the other companay could be incorrect, listen to your claims or process any requests...I can't believe they are even still in business or that ANY reputable company would utilize their services.
I'm in a revolving door because they say they can't cancel my account until it is current but I can't pay it because I've already paid some and I don't owe the other so they won't even listen to my claims b/c my account shows past due. There is no way I would pay this amount and try to recover my money later, I would never see it again and would have paid money that wasn't owed at ALL!!!
I don't know what to do. Is there anyone out there who can help me legally? I would be willing to pay a [small] fee, of course. I'm just at the end of my rope and no one will help me. I have all the documentation that I have mailed and have mailed it all certified so I could prove delivery.
Thanks in advance for any help / advice I can get.

1. Capacity... 11000 mAh is simply enormous, and provides "charge it and forget it for at least a week" use for any purpose I can foresee. I've been running the IMP1000 on its initial charge for a week now (usage details in "review section", below) and have just gone from medium to low on the capacity LED's.
2. Finish/durability... I noted in my review of the IMP880 that the rubberized coating was not durable; even though I handled it carefully, it was worn away easily (particularly at the pack's edges). The hard, glossy, color-molded-in finish of the IMP1000 should fare much better. Time will tell, but so far, so good.
3. Ease of use... No "long press vs. short press" power button functions. I haven't had any trouble using the IMP880, but simpler is nearly always better (something Apple does very well, and NEW Trent targets Apple customers, so this is a good fit).
4. Accessories... The retractable USB cable seems more robust than the one included with the IMP880. I haven't had the same problem with the microUSB connector slipping into its rubber shell that I wrote about with the IMP880 yet, either.
5. Packaging... The IMP1000's packaging is much classier than the IMP880's. Apple has set a very high standard in this regard. Apple customers expect a great "out of box experience", and the IMP1000 won't leave them with a bad first impression. The internal packaging didn't self-destruct from the inside out, as my IMP880's packaging did.
Cons: (please note that many of these are personal opinion)
1.Read more ›
The unit's size is great for traveling. It's about the same size and weight of a portable hard drive, which these days means it's small and will easily slip into a briefcase, overnight bag, purse, etc. The retractable cord makes it easy to hook up with the mobile device without any strain on the connections.
The unit's indicator light is simple to see and determine the amount of charge remaining. While charging the unit itself those lights let you know the progress. And after charging a mobile device, the unit slows down to a trickle charge.
The placement of the button is an improvement over New Trents IMP880, which I also own. That button could accidentally be turned on because it actually protrudes a bit from the case, and sits at an angle. The IMP1000's is flush with the case's edge, and the button itself a bit recessed which should prevent that from happening.
I haven't drained the power from a full charge yet, so not sure how long it lasts, but after topping off my iphone and ipad a few times, it still shows a full charge. Of course you can use the device while it's charging.
The IMP1000 comes with iphone/ipad adapter, along with a few others (mini usb, etc).
Good design, seems well built, and I know from past experience with New Trent's customer support that they are very responsive. Recommend you give it a try if you need a back up battery.

I placed my order on 11/22/10, was supposed to ship in 24 hrs. It didn't. E-mailed them and got a reply saying it shipped 12/08/10 along with a tracking number.
Have ran the number several times and the USPS says it was never put into their system. Have even gone to the local post office to try and track it. Same responce.
Have e-mailed them several times and get no reply, likewise with their on line chat. My last attempt was today 01/20/11. Seems to me that is plenty of time to do the right thing, if thatwas their intention. So BEWARE of this company. RIPP OFF !

I sent my first application to renew my Employment Authorization Doc on Jan 22nd. However I didn't receive Notice of Action till mid Feb. I called the customer service but they could not track down any new receipt # assigned to me. So I sent another application on Feb 18th. But on 19th I received a Notice of Action for the first application. And on 22nd, I received another Notice of Action with different receipt # for the second application. Should I just wait till one of them gets approved?
Immigration Attorney
One will probably be denied and one hopefully approved. The downside is you loose your filing fees on one of them. Always send everything to USCIS with either priority mail and delivery confirmation or Express Mail or a courier like Fedex, DHL, etc.
Immigration Attorney
What would be your alternative? IF your question is whether one could interfere with the process of the other - no, it will not.
Immigration Attorney
Yes, please have patience. The process usually takes around 90 days.

Bonfire on the Beach lights up lakefront with music
Make a list: You'll need a beach towel, a swimsuit, maybe some flip-flops and a party attitude for Bonfire on the Beach.
It may be the opening week of Summerfest, but this party kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday at Bradford Beach with music from De La Buena. The band plays until 7:30 p.m. when DJ Kid Millions takes the stage, followed by Kane Place Records from 9 to 10 p.m. Bonfire pits will allow party-goers to see each other and keep them warm if the temperatures drop. »Read Full Article

Drink, meet dish, Part 2: A smart Cocktail Week menu at c.1880
I rarely have room in my schedule to attend special pairing dinners, those multicourse events that match dishes with wine, beer or cocktails. But I love 'em; it's such a pleasure to see chefs unleash their creativity and to hear what went into the making of a dish and the spirit, and taste how the food and drink relate.
For the inaugural Milwaukee Cocktail Week, c.1880 in Walker's Point is serving a five-course menu on Monday with drinks made with Great Lakes Distillery spirits. It opens with a riff on a Bloody Mary, in food and drink: »Read Full Blog Post

Skylight takes Beethoven to Bollywood with ferocious 'Fidelio'
The Skylight Music Theatre doesn't have an official mascot, but it might think about borrowing the giant tiger Raghava KK designed for its "Fidelio." The feline could serve as a fitting avatar for the ferocious vitality new artistic director Viswa Subbaraman is bringing to the Skylight.
Subbaraman and his creative team infused this production of Beethoven's only opera with a set design, costumes, movements and gestures drawn from Indian culture and Bollywood. They brought color and movement to an opera that could easily be static on stage, and a liveliness of spirit to a show that could come across as a bit preachy, with its brotherhood-of-man lyrics, while sacrificing nothing musically. »Read Full Article(2)

Boat Move in New England
I need to move a Tartan 30 from Boston to Vermont sometime in the spring. Does anyone have a reccomendation? thanks Jim Lintereur
Boat Move in New England
I have used Brownell with success and zero complaints. A new mover called ''Boathaul'', however has just contacted me, through Brownell, and offered to move my boat from Florida to Massachusetts for a great price. There is also a great company in Newburyport named ''Joycelyn''. Real pros with the best equipment.
Boat Move in New England
I used jocylins (sp?) to move a boat from the Nashua area to CT. Thought that they did well by me, and the price was competitive.

Yesterday was the first day of the rest of Sarah Palin's political life. She spent it fielding calls from Republicans seeking her endorsement and hoping that her decision to stay out of the US presidential race does not mean the end of her political career.
Within hours of announcing that she would not be running for the White House, Mrs Palin said she had received calls from several of those who are still seeking the Republican nomination.
If so, it will boost her hopes of keeping a "decisive role" as a conservative kingmaker in the run-up to next year's election

I have already been asked by one of my children to pass this onto them if I ever want to get rid of it which of course I won't....

Background color is gray not white

Absolutley Stunning
Better than pictured. They are in a light blue/greenish hue. The detail is gorgeous and they are a perfect a size. If anyone is thinking of getting these stools...don't hesitate. They are not white like shown in the picture, and the mutted background color of blue/green is perfect with the contrast of the dragon design. I also got the fish one as well and they both compliment and look perfect together between three wicker chairs I have. Absolutlely buy these if you are contemplating.Read More
Overrated, imo
I bought these to serve as end tables to the 2 blue club chairs on my patio. I was hoping for a sort of elegant look, but they just didn't work. They looked like what they are- a cheap version of Chinese blue and white porcelain.Read More
