A selective listing by critics of The Times of new or noteworthy Broadway and Off Broadway shows this weekend. Approximate running times are in parentheses. * denotes a highly recommended show.
+ means discounted tickets were at the Theater Development Fund's TKTS booth for performances last Friday and Saturday nights.
++ means discounted tickets were available at the TKTS booth for last Friday night only.
*+ ''CONTACT.'' Susan Stroman's sparkling anthem to the transforming powers of dance has yet to succumb to the anemia that often befalls long-running musicals. A return visit to this Tony Award-winning show found it in a robust, muscle-flexing state of health. This three-part self-described dance play has ripened into mellowness, with a newly relaxed expansiveness that doesn't dilute its intoxication factor. The attitude speaks of performers who are so comfortable with the contours of their parts that they can riff on them a bit, jazz style, sounding new emotional notes. The original stars -- Karen Ziemba, Boyd Gaines and Deborah Yates -- are on board through next week, and clearly delighted to be there (2:00). Beaumont, Lincoln Center (212) 239-6200. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.; Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m.; Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets: $60 to $90 (Ben Brantley).
''42ND STREET'' (Tony Award for best revival of a musical). There's nothing like precision tap-dancing to turn an audience into a lab full of case studies for Dr. Pavlov. Witness this opulent revival, directed by Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, in which every other production number has us beating our flippers together like the seals at feeding time. A largely labored resurrection of the last musical staged by the fabled Gower Champion, inspired by the classic 1933 movie, the show features Harry Warren and Al Dubin's priceless Depression-era songs, Michael Cumpsty as a tyrannical director and an extremely enjoyable Christine Ebersole (Tony winner for best actress in a musical) as his tyrannical star. Otherwise the evening's charms are largely limited to its full-strength tapping (2:40) Ford, 213 West 42nd Street, (212) 307-4100. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.; Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m.; Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets: $25 to $90 (Brantley).
*++ ''THE FULL MONTY.'' This hearty Americanized singing adaptation of the popular English film about a motley male troupe of amateur strippers gives off a blaze of pure mass appeal. The show calculatedly pushes as many buttons as an elevator operator, but mercifully it doesn't hammer at them. With a winning, ear-catching pop score by David Yazbek and a lively gallery of performers who seem truly in love with the people they're playing, ''The Full Monty'' is that rare aggressive crowd-pleaser that you don't have to apologize for liking. Well, for the most part. The book, by the multiple Tony Award-winner Terrence McNally, is sometimes as lame and pandering as a midseason replacement sitcom. Fortunately ''The Full Monty'' has more to do than just talk. And as long as it lets its ideally cast ensemble translate blue-collar blues into vigorous song, it's impossible not to smile. And, yes, the men do take off all their clothes (2:45). O'Neill, 230 West 49th Street, (212) 239-6200. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.; Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m.; Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets: $30 to $90 (Brantley).
+ ''IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME . . . I'M GOING WITH YOU!'' Do you by any chance make a habit of crashing wedding receptions, anniversary banquets and family reunions? Do you get your kicks from watching strangers in festive formal wear as they show home movies and make toasts of mutual admiration? If so, you may enjoy the party that Renée Taylor and Joseph Bologna have given for themselves at the Cort Theater, a self-addressed valentine to their 36-year marriage. Others will find less to savor in this anthology of old jokes, autobiographical snippets, and scenes from the couple's plays, written and directed by the two stars. Even the personal stories have hardened into shtick-shaped molds. The show's title, with its self-contained set-up and punch-line, pretty much says it all (1:30). Cort, 138 West 48th Street, (212) 239-6200. Monday at 8 p.m.; no show on Tuesday; Thursdays at 8 p.m.; Fridays at 8 p.m.; Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets: $30 to $65 (Brantley).
* ''MAJOR BARBARA.'' The Roundabout Theater Company's elegant, eloquent and very funny production of Shaw's 1905 play sending up the societal worship of money -- and the convolutions of logic that defend it -- is less an interpretation than a celebration of this playwright's winking, topsy-turvy didactics on the subjects of politics, poverty and faith. In a world where spin-doctoring has become the rule in public discourse, inoffensiveness is prized and forthrightness has become suspicious, Shaw's notion that the rhetoric that protects a system of Darwinian economics is a hypocrisy has only gained in relevance. And the director Daniel Sullivan, whose strength is in crystallizing the dramatic voice of the playwright, has made Shaw's tasty ironies crystal clear, so that with a first-rate cast led by Cherry Jones, Dana Ivey and the British actor David Warner, making his American stage debut, the star of the show is the playwright himself (2:30). American Airlines Theater, 227 West 42nd Street, (212) 719-1300. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.; Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets: $40 to $65 (Bruce Weber).

Whatever sort of business you are in you can be exposed to workplace hazards. These may be loads which have to be manually handled, dangerous machinery, toxic substances, electricity, working with display screen equipment, or even psychological hazards such as stress.
The reason that there are not more accidents and diseases at work is because systems of prevention are in place to stop them. These systems have been built up over generations and are continually reviewed and refined. In 1931 H.W. Heinrich took a scientific approach to investigate how an incident could lead to a fatality. He discovered that unsafe acts can lead to minor injuries and, over time, to major injury. The safety triangle serves to illustrate Heinrich's theory of accident causation.
It is important to eliminate the unsafe acts that could potentially contribute to an accident. If these go unreported they cannot be rectified. Please take the time to report all 'near misses' or matters of concern through our H&S portal, or via your account manager. All reports will be treated confidentially and action will be taken where appropriate.

My daughter and I are both very sick. I have a fever and a cough, chills, body aches, runny nose. My two year old threw up everything she ate today and didn't have the energy to get off the couch for an hour. My husband comes home, grabs a beer, chips/salsa, and yells at me for sitting on the couch. He tells us to go upstairs cause he wants to watch the game without getting sick. To stop lounging around doing nothing. I take my daughter upstairs to our room. He comes up fifteen minutes later. I was a little snotty and said, "What you're gonna kick us out of here to?" He says, " I need pajamas you stupid c*#$. If you can imagine the word. He's yelling this in front of my daughter. So I take her downstairs to avoid him. Anyway this back and forth thing to protect her from his yelling goes on until she goes down. Now my husband says," Why are you so mean to me? I just wanted you to go upstairs and rest." I say, "Yeah, if you care so much why do you say the things you do to me in front of her? " he says, "Cause you deserve it"
I just needed to write this down. Really, really sad. I have no energy to go through divorce right now. I just wish he'd either find another girl and leave me or just decide he wants to be a dead beat dad. Either way, I just wish he'd go away. I find myself saying this almost every day now. I'm just sad, sick and tired. =((( I'm gonna take a sleeping pill tonight. Hopefully, I'm unconscious enough for him to not wake me while he comes to bed yelling later.

San Diego Women's Half Marathon
So yesterday a jog/walked the San Diego Women's Half Marathon. I LOVED this run!!
This was my first non-Disney half marathon and I have to say I enjoyed it so much! It was only a couple thousand runners. So there were enough people to have the air ignited with the excitement of the event but it wasn't insanely crowded like a Disney run. It was well organized and staffed with scads of volunteers who did an amazing job.
There were Race Guards running the course and just making sure that everyone was okay. One of my friends is a race guard and we walked together and chatted for a bit until my timer beeped and I started jogging and he jogged off to encourage other runners.
The course was flat and scenic, running along the San Diego harbor area. The course had ample water stops with some having Gatorade and Gu gels. One volunteer even had packets of salt which was a godsend at mile 10ish when my legs wanted to cramp.
I did the run by myself. I left my house at about 4:45 after assuring Vern that there was no reason for him to come out and stand around for hours to cheer me on. I arrived about an hour before start time parked and found the porta potties :) Then I found my friend Mary Joe (Joe's wife) at the race guard tent and got a hug and some encouraging chit chat before making my way to the start corrals. I watched the sun come up while waiting to start.
I'm always struck by the hush that falls over the crowd when out national anthem is sung, and it always makes me cry...this time was no different.
And then we were off!! 13.1 miles of awesomeness. I ran my race. I chatted with a few ladies along the way. I met a gal from one of my Facebook groups. She was faster and the course criss crossed back on itself in several areas so we saw each other several times during the race, high five'ing each other each time.
I ran my intervals. I thought about my mom and dad. I thought about a lot of things. I stopped to take a couple of photos. I enjoyed the scenery and the warmth of the sun on my face. I even enjoyed the ache in my legs as my muscles worked. At mile 10 it became tough. My legs started to cramp and I realized I forgot to stick a mustard packet in my pocket....that won't happen again! A sweet lady at a water stop asked me if I wanted a salt packet and I almost hugged her!
Those last 3 miles, Jeff Galloway was in my head saying "Just get through it one walk break at a time" and that's what I did.
My finish time was a personal best for me. 3:11:05....finally under 3:30 and heading toward under 3 hours!! I am sore this morning but my heart is full and proud.
Next race is St Patricks Day weekend....1/2 marathon.

Impromptu Saturday
Whew! Saturday was a busy day! I went for a seven mile "run" in the morning. I say "run" because I was playing around with different walk/run intervals and how they affect my pace. I really don't care so much about being faster. I just want to be able to keep under the pace requirements for races and still have fun and be healthy. So anyway....seven miles in the morning.
We planned on working yesterday but after an hour at the shop we decided to postpone work until today and head up to Disneyland. I wasn't really prepared food wise for an impromptu outing so I had to wing it. I was mindful in my choices and I tracked everything. I used 11weekly points but I earned 14 activity points. I'm pleased with how I did.
So today I need to fit in a few hours of work, a few loads of laundry, a bit of grocery shopping and some food prep....lol. No sweat!
I have two buttons in my bowl :)

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama remains in search of a game where everything comes together.
The Crimson Tide is still unbeaten and ranked No. 1 but not feeling especially good about the team's performance so far. Even soft-spoken linebacker C.J. Mosley was prompted to speak up after an unimpressive performance against huge underdog Colorado State.
Beating No. 21 Mississippi Saturday night will be significantly more challenging in a matchup of unbeaten SEC West teams.
Linebacker Trey DePriest says if Alabama puts together a complete game, "we're going to be real good."
Mosley says he was upset after last week's game. He says the little things the Tide has done wrong "will get us beat bad."
Ole Miss is seeking its first 4-0 start since 1970 and has never beaten a No. 1 team.

In recent years it has become clear that application-independent techniques and tools must be supplemented with an application-specific approach. Here, we begin to identify the foundations needed for application-specific software research by examining the role and nature of current application taxonomies.

They are probably so busy with all the nursing applications coming in. If you have to interview to get in then I would send one after the interview. I just don't see any benefits of sending one now.

Better Than Ultimate Brownies
Have we found an even better recipe for the "Ultimate Brownies"? You decide! :-) Each square is dense and chocolate-y, and has a nice chewiness to it. It's better than store-bought or just-put-in-the-oven brownies. If you happen to be lucky enough to have some left over after a few days, you'll be fighting over the the last few bites of super-moist and ultimately soft and chewy brownies. A little sacrifice of instant gratification truly pays off for these. ;-)
** You may also want to check out the Easy Fudge Brownie recipe **
Every now and then, an idea will spark for me from even the smallest triggers in life. This in particular was the result of a discussion about surprises. Mine was to be about dessert. The person that this surprise was for is someone special, so one cannot simply buy something from the store. I wanted to know what would make the best of the best. A kind of channeling of Tyler Florence, if you will.
I gave it a thought and I knew exactly what to do. Since my brother does not like cake, and my nieces and nephews tend to be picky, and my sister will eat generally anything with a sweet tooth, the only thing that made sense for me to prepare were brownies.
A quick google search led me here, The Ultimate Brownie Recipe. And I thought I had all the ingredients listed.
The result is this:
What was I missing? 3 unsweetened cocoa squares. Over 25% of the ingredient I needed was already used from what I thought was a full box of unsweetened cocoa. What did I do? I dug up some semi-sweet chocolate chips and measured out on the scale 3 oz of the sweetened stuff. I also reduced the amount of sugar by 1/4th cup to compensate for the sweetness coming from the chocolate chips.
Another thing I did differently was the choice of flour. I didn't know the immediate impact on brownies but I used bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. I am also not a fan of nuts in my brownies, so I omitted the walnuts.
The result is this adapted recipe:
- 5 1-oz squares of unsweetened chocolate
- 3 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butter
- 5 eggs
- 2 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 9 x 13 pan.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate squares and chips, and butter; set aside.
3. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes. [I definitely recommend a stand mixer for this.] Add melted chocolate mixture, salt and bread flour and mix until just blended. Let the batter sit on the counter for 20 minutes before pouring into the greased pan. Let air bubbles escape by tapping the pan.
4.Bake for 30 minutes and test with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, take the brownies out to cool before serving.
I believe my substitutions made these brownies above and beyond that of the original Ultimate Brownies! Each square is dense and chocolate-y, and has a nice chewiness to it. It's better than store-bought or just-put-in-the-oven brownies. If you happen to be lucky enough to have some left over after a few days, you'll be fighting over the the last few bites of super-moist and ultimately soft and chewy brownies. A little sacrifice of instant gratification truly pays off for these. ;-)
Give them a try in your kitchen and let us know how they turn out!

Thanks for the recipe. It worked great! Very moist brownies. Why do you use "bread flour"? Does this help with the moistness, or flavor?
Thank you.

And they are amazing to the taste too! :) There's no need for nuts in our desserts! they can be on top, but not inside!
May 16, 2009 9:57 pm
If I close my eyes and think of a brownie, this is the one I can see in my mind. It's absolutely perfect! Thick, rich, moist, chocolaty, and perfectly baked. It's everything a brownie should be!! I can't wait to try it myself.

I made these brownies today and they are the best brownies my husband and I have EVER had! I used Ghirardelli chocolate and subbed all-purpose flour since I didn't have any bread flour. Needless to say, I will be making these for all future family gatherings & potlucks. :-)
June 28, 2009 9:30 pm
Did you use my version or the about.com version? I made them a few weekends ago and had them barely undercooked and they turned out phenomenal. I'm glad you liked them!
January 7, 2010 9:15 am
I made these last night and found the baking time was just a smidge too short – I ended up with gooey middle brownies and perfectly cooked edge brownies. No worries though as I'll just refrigerate/freeze the undercooked ones and still enjoy them ;)
These are definitely amazing – but the calorie content is really high – I got 32 small brownies out of this recipe and apparently each brownie has 175 calories! yikes! I am used to recipes with about 100-120 calories a brownie. Oh well – they are still AMAZEBALLS :)
July 31, 2010 1:17 pm
Oh my, these do look pretty darn ultimate! Gorgeous and perfect, dense and super moist. Fab brownie recipe! Yay! Just need a tall glass of very cold milk and I'm set.
August 7, 2010 4:37 am
Oh man, did these turn out badly!!! The entire thing puffed up in the pan while baking, so I had what tasted like a giant, chocolate popover.
I just don't know what I did wrong. :-(
February 25, 2011 2:53 am
Ooh! The mark of a great cook: improvisation! Love it :)

I was disappointed that the product did not in any way reflect the real-world exam. I was surprised and angry to learn that there is no US phone number for this company. When I went on their website, I got a chat window with some goofball "Monica" or whatever her real name is. She could only answer tech support questions. So I asked who I could talk to about my refund and she said "Vincent" who apparently doesn't work in the same office (house) as "Monica."
I emailed the firstname.lastname@example.com address Monica gave me but I don't expect much of a response based on the reviews I've seen. So I guess all I can do is warn others of this SCAM! Look for my review on all the scam review boards!

Regarding another fake post

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, January 21, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, January 21, 2014
I am another customer of P-G and in reading this report I can now understand how many fake reports are everywhere all over the internet.
I find it quite suprising that this report does not include any order information and just lists a story which can be easily written on this site because anybody can right anything online these days.
I have read other reports and they seem to be all fake like someone was hired to write these in my view.
I have just taken the 70-640 exam and I passed the exam easily with the help of P-G and I am here to express my concern that I don't even think this poster ordered this product.
The poster states they don't have a number and you can click here as to why they don't offer a number anymore http://www.pass-guaranteed.com/contactus.htm I guess this poster forgot to visit their contact us page which makes me even more suspecious of this report.
The reason why I use P-G is because they offer 24/7 support, the price is fair compared to other sites and I find their products to work for me. I have used other sites as well but I find P-G products are much more updated and much more reliable than other sites. The 24/7 support is what makes me want to go with P-G. Other sites don't have this support.

Hi, have used PG and I have not had any issues using their product. Sorry about your failure but I have used them for quite sometime and have had no issues with them.
From what I can see, you are not talking about the exam you are talking how you failed your exam. Maybe you were not prepared enought to pass the exam.
I have used PG products and have done very well on my Cisco Exams. I have read other reports here and they all seem to be fake in my eyes. Anyway sorry about your failing the exam.

Rutgers uses NBA incomes of Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Andre Drummond, Steven Adams to pitch recruits
College men's basketball teams earn vast revenue on the backs of players while conspiring to pay those players no more than a scholarship and some expenses. In lieu of the market dictating player salaries, that revenue is funneled to administrators and coaches – like Rutgers' Steve Pikiell, who earns $1.6 million per year.
But the money in basketball is real, and college players want a taste. So, many coaches try to sell players that they'll prepare them for the NBA, where they can make millions.
Which led to this Rutgers tweet featuring former Connecticut players Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Andre Drummond and former Pittsburgh player Steven Adams:
The heck?
Rutgers' only NBA players in the last two decades were Hamady N'Diaye and Quincy Douby. So, the Scarlet Knights got creative.
An assistant on Pikiell's staff was an assistant at UConn when Allen and Hamilton played there. Another was an assistant when Drummond was a Huskie. Yet another was a Pitt assistant during Adams' time.
Just when I thought college teams couldn't get any cheaper when it comes to their players, here comes Rutgers using its barely earned currency in recruiting.
Connecticut took notice:
Here's an idea: Instead of squabbling over who deserves credit for getting players paid later, use some of that revenue to pay players now.

Agent: Former Kansas star Perry Ellis to sign with Hornets
Every 2016 college basketball consensus All-American has reached the NBA.
Ben Simmons, Kris Dunn, Buddy Hield, Jakob Poeltl, Denzel Valentine, Brice Johnson were drafted in the first round and received their guaranteed salaries. Tyler Ulis, Malcolm Brogdon and Georges Niang were picked in the second round and signed contracts. Jarrod Uthoff signed with the Raptors as an undrafted free agent.
And now Perry Ellis is headed to Charlotte.
Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star:
Former Kansas basketball forward Perry Ellis, who had successful sports hernia surgery Tuesday in Philadelphia, will attend preseason training camp of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets and attempt to make the team as a free agent, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, told The Star on Tuesday afternoon.
He's expected to miss three to four weeks of individual workouts prior to training camp following surgery.
Ellis, who averaged a team-leading 16.9 points for 33-5 KU last season, does not have a guaranteed contract.
The Hornets have just 13 players – two shy of the regular-season limit – with guaranteed salaries. Ellis will compete with Aaron Harrison (unguaranteed), Mike Tobey ($75,000) and Treveon Graham ($75,000 guaranteed) for those final two spots.
I'd really like the chances of Ellis, who's polished for a rookie after four years at Kansas, if he weren't coming off an injury. Even if he's fully healed to begin training camp, he'll be rusty. As is, I still think he has a solid shot.
Ellis scored well in the post against college players, but the 6-foot-8 power forward has neither the size nor explosiveness to do that dependably in the NBA. He improved his mid-range and outside shooting during his college career, but he doesn't have NBA 3-point range. He learned to play solid defense at Kansas, but his basketball intelligence won't get him as far against NBA opponents due to his middling athleticism.
Sense a theme?
I wouldn't be surprised if Ellis got a larger guarantee than Tobey or Graham. If the Hornets waive him, they can assign Ellis' D-League rights to their affiliate. A small guarantee in his NBA contract could be designed to entice him to join the D-League despite its low pay if he gets cut.
But first, he'll have a chance to earn a regular-season roster spot. And Charlotte has two of those, creating more opportunities than most NBA teams can present. There's a reason Ellis, one of the most prominent undrafted free agents, picked the Hornets. Soon, we'll see whether they were justified to pick him.
Serge Ibaka writes he didn't want trade from Thunder, excited about Orlando opportunity
After nearly every major trade or free agent move, the spin starts. "He wasn't happy with his role" or some other story line comes out about why said player decided to leave, with the team often spinning the negative.
In the case of Serge Ibaka being traded to Orlando, it was that he thought the Thunder promised him a bigger role then didn't deliver, and he was frustrated. That may well be true — 98 percent of NBA players think they should have a larger role on their team and get more shots. Ibaka's role with the Thunder did fade as Enes Kanter's increased, he likely did want a larger role.
As you had to expect, Ibaka said none of that is true, writing a diary of his summer for Sports Illustrated. He said he learned of the trade while in Paris.
I never asked to be traded, even though there was a lot of media conjecture that I was unhappy with my role. I had an exit meeting with Billy Donovan and Sam Presti after the season, and both went well. But this is still a business, everybody has to do what's best for them, and I let my agent deal with the business side of things. I just focus on basketball. I'm not the kind of guy who's going to go in and ask for a trade, and I would have been happy staying with the Thunder. Playing in the NBA was my dream, and I'd be happy playing anywhere…
Right now, though, I feel like a rookie again. I'm thrilled to be in Orlando. I know that might sound crazy to some people, that I'm excited to go from a contender like the Thunder to a rebuilding team, one that hasn't made the playoffs in four years, but playing now for Frank Vogel, a coach who prides himself on defense, is very exciting for me. We have a core of like-minded, young, athletic players, which is going to be very fun. We are an old-school, smashmouth team, and I can't wait to don a Magic uniform on opening night.
Smashmouth is a good word for it. The Magic are going to be a strong defensive team next season, the question is will they get enough points to get the wins they will need to be a playoff team? That's where Ibaka is going to get the chances he craved — the Magic need him to space the floor and score, not just defend.
Ibaka can be a free agent next summer and he will have options, but in trading Victor Oladipo for him the Magic have made a big bet that Ibaka will stay. Of course, money will be the biggest factor, but if Ibaka likes his role and playing for Vogel, the odds of him staying in central Florida go up.
Craig Sager to get third bone marrow transplant thanks to anonymous donor
Craig Sager couldn't be in Rio covering the Olympics for NBC, his cancer wouldn't allow it. That didn't stop Team USA from reaching out to him before they left. Or from Nike designing a sweet pair of shoes for him.
Now there is good news on his battle against leukemia — he will have a third bone marrow transplant, according to his son Craig Sager II.
This is fantastic news for a man and family who have been through a lot. Hopefully, this treatment is a step forward for Sager, a man beloved by everyone around the NBA.

Acosta-Rios: Miguel Confident of Downing "Bam Bam"
By Hilmar Rojas
Las Vegas - After spending a few days in Las Vegas and training at the Top Rank Gym, WBA lightweight champion Miguel Acosta is very confident of retaining his title this Saturday. He faces undefeated Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios in a Showtime televised fight from the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
"I am calm and it feels great to hold my belt. It's my first title defense and I feel fine. I'm pleased with my preparation physical and mentally. We worked hard. We know that we are going to win. When he signed the contract, he already lost his unbeaten record," Acosta said. "He can have all of the advantages of home, but in the ring it's only me and him."
Acosta ended the unbeaten streaks of Urbano Antillón and Paulus Moses.

- Worshipers invite Goddess Durga (known as "Maa Amba" to Gujaratis) to their house by performing "Devi Sthapna" puja,
- Devotees visit temples and fast for Navratri's nine days. Nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped, one for each day. The nine forms of Goddess Durga are Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalratri, Mahagauri, Siddhidatri.
- Devotees light a lamp in a "Garbo" or "Ghatasthapana" (decorated earthen pot) for 9 days. The "Garbo" has holes in it and it represents the human body.

Traditional Navratri Dances of Dandiya Raas and Raas Garba
In "Garba" the dancer moves his/her hands and feet to four beats; whereas in "Dandiya Rass", dancers dance with sticks.
Garba Dance
- The easiest and most popular Raas Garba dances are the "Be Taali" (2 claps) and "Traan Taali" (3 claps). Please see the below video for simple instructions on these Garba steps.
- Other popular types of Garba Rass Dance are "Butterfly" (clapping and moving in a circle like a butterfly), "Trikonyu" (make a triangle movement), "Hudo" (raise hands and clap with a partner after 4 beats), "Popatiyu" (clap after 2 steps forward and 4 steps back), "Dodhiyu" (forward and backward movement to 8, 10, 12 beats), etc.
Dandiya Rass Dance
- Dandia Raas is played with 2 decorated sticks which are touched with a partner's sticks in a choreographed pattern. Usually, dancers form an inner and outer circle; one moves in a clock-wise and the other in a counter clock-wise direction. The inner and outer circle dancers partner each other in playing Dandiya Rass.
- Different types of Dandiya Raas dance are "Five Steps" technique, "Seven Steps", etc. "5 Step Dandiya Raas" is the most popular Dandia and the below video has easy instructions on how to play 5 Step Dandiya Raas.
The original folk dances of Garba Rass and Dandia Raas started as a depiction of the 9 day battle between Goddess Durga ("Ambaji") and Mahisasura. With this in mind, the "Dandiya" (sticks) and the "Garba" style of dance make a lot of sense.
Mahisasura was an "Asura" (Demon) who defeated Indra, the Hindu God of the "Devas" (Gods). Mahisasur threw out the Gods from Heaven. Since Mahisasura could not be defeated by any man, the Gods created Durga an avatar of Godess Parvati or Shakti. Maa Durga defeated the "Asuras" (Demons) and fought a long 9 day battle with Mahisasura, finally killing him on the tenth day.
Famous Navrati Dandiya Raas and Garba Rass Songs
Popular Navratri Garba and Dandya Raas songs are "Dholi Taro", "Aavo Ramva Raas", "Nagar Nand ji Na Laal", "Hu tau Gai ti Mele", etc
Clothes Worn for Navratri, Garba Raas Dance and Dandia Raas
Young girls and ladies wear colourful ethnic Gujarati style "Chaniya Choli", "Ghagra Choli", "Lehenga Choli" and sarees. Metal jewellery is often worn and so are white bangles on the forearms and biceps.
On top, boys and men wear the traditional Gujarati Kurta, called "Zabbho" or "Kedia" ("Kediya") and on the bottom a Pajama or Dhoti called "Dhotiyu" or "Lehanghas". Men also wear a "Pagdee" (Turban).

Period: Classical
Date: 4th century B.C.
Culture: Greek
Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: H. 19 3/4 in. (50.2 cm)
Classification: Bronzes
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1944
Accession Number: 44.11.9
The elegant ovoid shape of this vase and the inclusion of a figural relief under the vertical handle are found on most bronze hydriai of the fourth century B.C. Here the decoration is particularly refined. Inlays of silver and niello (a black alloy of sulfur, silver, copper, and lead) animate the egg-and-dart band on the lip and the leaves on the foot. The relief shows a winged Eros arranging his hair in a mirror. He leans on a small statue of a woman that imitates the rigid stance and stiff drapery found on Archaic figures of the sixth century B.C. The support forms an interesting contrast to the figure of Eros, which reflects the taste for somewhat effeminate male figures in curvaceous, languid poses that marked full-scale sculpture of the period.

First of all purchased furniture which arrived very much later than told and 3 out of 5 peices damaged, the only way got replaced was me staying on top of Levitz butts to make it correct.
Purchase the no pymt for a year sent on the last month the total owed which was close to $6, 000. Sent the beginning of January and the did not credit until February, I have different things that surely point out to them that I did in fact mail but I did not have receipt, they wanted proof of mailing, I have since kept fighting to get my $1,800 for this lated penalty and they still try to give me a runaround.
I have now left it in their court and said I will take them to court unless they show me my envelope to prove that I mail.ed this payment late.
Why can they get by with making me prove and they dont have to prove anything, this is a bunch of bull and I will win no matter how long it takes

The mission of Concerts@First is to present a series of high quality musical concerts each year that provide cultural enrichment for the members of First Church and the community. Each of our programs brings in a different audience; the vast majority of those attendees are visitors, proving that these are incredible opportunities to open our doors to the world and welcome strangers!
Concerts@First had its debut concert in June 2007 when the First Church Choir performed Bach's B Minor Mass. In 2009 and 2010 organist Andrew Senn captivated audiences by accompanying silent movies Phantom of the Opera and Hunchback of Notre Dame. Other highlights have included the Durufle Requiem, the Poulenc Organ Concerto, and Handel's Dixit Dominus. The 2015-16 season (our 9th season) promises to be another interesting and exciting one!
2015-16 Season
2015 marks the fifteenth anniversary of our acclaimed gallery organ. Concerts@First will celebrate our spectacular instrument with a series of organ concerts this year. Each of these programs will be captivating and unique. Don't miss out on any of them!
All of our programs are free of charge, with a free-will offering. If you wish to contribute to Concerts@First to ensure the continued offering of world-class concerts, your donation will be gratefully received!

Book recommendations?
I don't mean knitting books, but fiction (and non-fiction). I particularly enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, other fiction and biographies. About the only types I don't like are romance novels. So if any of you can recommend a book or want to tell me about your favorites, I'd love to hear your suggestions! I'm making my list of books to read this year.
The Life of Pi is a great book if you haven't already read it.
Oh boy... I love reading. Do you like mysteries? Funny? Here's my favorite authors -
Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum novels (very, very funny)
Patricia Cornwell - Kay Scarpetta novels (mystery)
Sue Grafton - Kinsey Millhone novels (mystery)
James Patterson - Women's Murder Club (mysteries)
Christopher Moore - just insanely funny novels!
Robert Crais - Elvis Cole novels (mystery and often funny))
Knitting mysteries/novels authors
Maggie Sefton
Mary Kruger
Debbie Macomber - Blossom Street novels
Random other books I enjoyed
The Secret Life of Bees
The Dogs of Babel
Snowflower and the Secret Fan
The Kite Runner
Water for Elephants
Three Cups of Tea
Seeing Me Naked
The Life of Pi
Jan--I haven't really read many mysteries, but I have been wanting to. Thanks for the recommendations!
actually, we had a thread about a similar topic just recently. You can find it here and see what everybody responded.
"Nineteen Minutes" and "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult. After reading these, I definitely want to read more of her books.
Alice Hoffman is another writer I like - her novels are a bit quirky (and to me they seem to get "quirkier" the more she writes - her early ones were more straightforward, IMHO) but might be something you'd like.
Nora Roberts tends to lean toward the romance side, but she does have some that have more plot to them. She's also done some trilogy books that wander into the sci-fi realm (not anything like Dune or books like that) like the series that had the book "Morrigan's Cross" in it, and the one that had "The Hollow" in it (both of those trilogies have been completed, so you could read all three in a row instead of having to wait months for the followup installments to be published. I hate it when I have to wait.:teehee: )
Nora Roberts also writes a futuristic police series under the name J D Robb. There are about 15 or so in that series. I have read most of those and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Books, books, books...
Hi, Marria! :waving:
I'm such a book nut I could probably list a gazillion but there are a couple that come to mind immediately that I've read over and over.
Nora Roberts is my all-time favorite author and her 3-book series, "Morrigan's Cross, Dance of the Gods, and Valley of Silence" are among my favorite books. Fantasy, romance, thrills....it's all in there, plus they're among the most beautifully written of her works, IMO. I've read the trilogy several times and have enjoyed it each time.
Also, Nora writes a futuristic series as J.D.Robb and all the titles are ".....in Death". The first in the series (of about 25 or so books) is "Naked in Death". Her characters in this series are absolutely incredible and even though it's futuristic in nature, they're believable! I found myself so caught up, rooting for the heroes and heroines and booing and hissing the bad guys. It's really an amazing body of work, likely to get you hooked in no time!
Another favorite author of mine is David Baldacci, especially his "Camel Club" novels. They're all a very good read, beautifully plotted and characterized.
Vince Flynn writes political thrillers and the first one is "Term Limits", probably my favorite of his although the following books in the series certainly kept me interested!
Hope this helps you compile your list! You're in for a very good year with all the great suggestions in this thread!
Happy reading,
Ruthie :hug:
my book stash is growing at about the same rate as my yarn stash. school leaves no time for reading:cry:
-Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
-Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
-Dry by Augusten Burroughs
-Eyre Affair (Thursday Next Novel, this is the first in the series) by Jasper Fforde
