Alfred Nobel was a Swedish inventor. As a young man, he traveled to the United States. What he saw convinced him of the need for a safe and dependable explosive. It was such a vast country. So much work needed to be done--building bridges, cutting tunnels, and digging canals.
Plans were already being made for one of the greatest construction efforts of all time--a transcontinental railway system to connect California with the eastern states. The project would require carving a track through the great Rocky Mountains. The work would have to be done by the daily toil of human muscle. There had to be a better way!
From his youth Alfred Nobel was seriously interested in literature and pacifism. He was well informed about world events of the time, ideas and philosophy. He was also well read, particularly in French and English literature. The politically radical and pacifist writings of Percy B. Shelley (1792-1822) in many respects reflected his own thinking. In a letter to a Belgian pacifist, he described his dream of a world at peace in terms of classical allegories. He continued: "The more I hear of the thunder of the cannon, the more blood I see shed, plundering being legalized and the gun sanctioned, the more alive and intensive becomes this dream of mine." At the same time he wrote to an English friend, a clergyman, that he harboured "a serious wish to see a rose-red peace grow up in this explosive world."(3) Alfred Nobel abhorred violence and conflict.
The methods for the use of dynamite developed by Alfred Nobel were for civilian purposes and made possible enormous projects such as the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, or the railroad passage through the Swiss Alps (Gotthard Tunnel). However, according to hearsay the Germans used dynamite in the war of 1870 against France.
In the early 1900's, the discovery of oil in southwestern Iran gave the country an enormous source of wealth. Reza Shah Pahlavi ruled Iran as shah (king) from 1925 to 1941. In 1941, his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi became shah. Both men used revenues from Iran's oil exports to modernize the country. They promoted economic and social development. In 1979, revolutionaries under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a Muslim religious leader, overthrew Mohammad Reza. The revolutionaries took control of Iran. They changed Iran's government from a constitutional monarchy to an Islamic republic. Their policies led to strict Islamic control over all areas of people's lives. Their rule resulted in severe economic problems for the nation. Relations between Iran and Western countries became strained.
After the 1979 revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini and his followers drafted a constitution for the new Islamic republic. The authors of the new constitution included many religious leaders. The Constitution went into effect in December 1979. It is closely based on the teachings of Islam. Under the Constitution, the nation's supreme leader is the faqih. The faqih is a scholar in Islamic law and the recognized religious leader of most Iranians. The Constitution named Khomeini the first ruling faqih of the Islamic republic. It granted him tremendous powers and placed him above all other government officials. Khomeini held the position of faqih until his death in 1989. He was succeeded by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei is referred to as the "Spiritual Guide"—or more formally as the "Supreme Guide"—of the nation.
The economy of Iran grew rapidly during the 1960's and 1970's. The government used part of Iran's enormous oil revenues to finance many new businesses and industries. The revolution of 1979, however, damaged the Iranian economy. Thousands of highly trained workers opposed to the Islamic government left Iran. Many factories closed. A war against Iraq during the 1980's and political unrest at home also disrupted the economy. Oil production and exports dropped.
Revolution and the Islamic Republic. In the late 1970's, the various opponents of the shah united under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a Muslim religious leader. In January 1979, the shah left Iran after mass demonstrations, strikes, and riots against his rule. The next month, the revolutionaries took control of the government.
Khomeini declared Iran an Islamic republic. He and his followers began setting up a new government based on the teachings of Islam. For the first year after the revolution, a Revolutionary Council appointed by Khomeini carried out the new government's policies. Hundreds of officials of the shah's government were tried in revolutionary courts and put to death by firing squads. The Islamic government shut down newspapers and magazines. It banned political parties. It closed universities. It placed restrictions over the people's personal freedoms. A new constitution made Khomeini the faqih (supreme leader) of Iran. In 1980, the Iranian people elected the first president and the first Majlis of the republic.
The new government was bitterly anti-American because the United States had supported the shah. In October 1979, President Jimmy Carter allowed the shah to enter the United States for medical treatment. On November 4, Iranian revolutionaries seized the United States Embassy in Tehran. They held a group of Americans—chiefly embassy workers—as hostages. The United States and many other countries denounced this action as a violation of international law. They demanded that the hostages be freed. The revolutionaries said they would release the hostages if the U.S. government returned the shah to Iran for trial. The United States refused to do so. The shah moved to Panama in December 1979 and to Egypt in March 1980. He died in Egypt in July 1980. The revolutionaries freed the hostages on Jan. 20, 1981. See Carter, Jimmy (The Iranian crisis). See also Back in Time: Iran (1979); Iran (1980); Iran (1981).Print "Revolution and the Islamic Republic" subsection
After Khomeini. Ayatollah Khomeini died in 1989. Iran's top religious leaders chose Ali Khamenei to succeed Khomeini as faqih. Khamenei had been Iran's president. Hashemi Rafsanjani was elected Iran's new president in 1989 and was reelected in 1993.
In June 1990, a major earthquake struck northwestern Iran. About 40,000 people were killed.
Iran faced serious economic and political problems in the 1990's. The nation's oil exports dropped because of a decrease in production capacity and lower demands in the world market. The decline in oil revenues made it difficult for Iran to pay for much-needed imports. Other economic problems in Iran included rising prices, high foreign debt, a sharp drop in the exchange value of Iran's currency, and high unemployment.
Recent developments. In the early 2000's, tensions rose between Iran and the United States. The U.S. government renewed its accusations that Iran was supporting terrorism and seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denied these accusations. It said its nuclear activities were only for the purpose of producing electric power. In 2003, United Nations (UN) atomic energy inspectors began visiting Iran to try to learn the nature of the country's nuclear program. They criticized Iran for concealing some nuclear activities. In 2004, under international pressure, Iran agreed to suspend its enrichment of uranium. Enrichment is one of the steps involved in the preparation of uranium for use as a nuclear fuel.
Because they know how dangerous nuclear weapon is, they tries not to let other countries to make nuclear bomb...
Even if it's assassination...
This is basically talks about the daylight assassination of scientist working on science system. Lots of nations around are assuming it as it's Israel's planned assassination.
"Mossad Training Terrorists to Kill Iran's Nuclear Scientists, U.S. Officials Claim... but Is Israel's Real Target Obama?" Mail Online. Web. 22 Feb. 2012. <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2099142/Mossad-training-terrorists-kill-Irans nuclear-scientists-U-S-officials-claim--Israels-real-target-Obama.html>.
U.S. officials confirmed today that Israel has been funding and training Iranian dissidents to assassinate nuclear scientists involved in Iran's nuclear program.
The claim has already been levelled by the Iranian government who believed that Mossad, Israel's secret service, have been arming dissidents with the terrorist organisation the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK).
Last month Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, 32, a chemistry expert, was killed in a brazen daylight assassination when two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic bomb to his car in Tehran.
This is how powerful an Atomic bomb was.

a Japanese city with a population of about 300,000. The force of the atomic blast was greater than 20,000 tons of TNT. According to U.S. statistics, 60,000-70,000 people were killed by the bomb. Other statistics show that 10,000 others were never found, and more than 70,000 were injured. Nearly two-thirds of the city was destroyed.

Much of their stadium and surrounding buildings are currently under construction, which has forced the Cougs to temporarily relocate before the season.
They will be practicing at Sacajawea Junior High School while staying in the LCSC dorms. Head Coach Mike Leach looks forward to the change of scenery.
"Well, the biggest thing, we've got a little construction here and so it gives us good opportunity to go out there, focus in, get our work done.," said Leach. "Thought it was nice, should work out good."
The Cougs will be in the area for approximately ten days so don't be alarmed if you see some potential future NFL stars walking around the Valley over the next few days.

Reading the John Updike stories: 'The Astronomer'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
Like his story "Pigeon Feathers," Updike's "The Astronomer," published in 1961, deals with a crisis of faith. "Pigeon Feathers," written earlier but published a few months later than "The Astronomer," depicts a boy's loss of innocence about mortality and heaven. In "The Astronomer," 24-year-old Walter fears what effect an evening talking with an older, smarter friend will have on the shaky Rube Goldberg contraption of his belief construct. »Read Full Blog Post

In this painting, Martin used the same procedure to generate the lines as in the 'Chance and Order' painting with black lines also in this room. He used green, red, mauve and blue, in that order. He commented, 'when I turn the drawing round I repeat the first drawing in the new orientation. After completing the drawing of all four directions I would have performed a symmetrical act. However, not only have the first lines of the original position qualified the lines following within itself, but this process has continued throughout the work, so that I get... an asymmetric design. Time takes a part in producing the final configuration. It is a history picture.'

The Ellington Elite football camp brought out the best of Berkeley on Friday, June 11.
With approximately 700 area youth football players attending the free camp, Andre and Bruce Ellington fulfilled a promise to Berkeley High School and the community of Moncks Corner when it came to giving back.
We want to keep the football dream alive at Berkeley, said Andre Ellington.
I was one of those kids once, said Bruce Ellington.
Five coaches participating in the camp are on NFL rosters going into the 2014 season as football players were able to meet their heroes up close and personal.
This camp exemplifies what is Berkeley football, said former Stags Coach Jerry Brown. You couldnt do this kind of camp at any other school, but Berkeley.

Michael Tolliver Lives (Tales of the City Series #7)by Armistead Maupin
View All Available Formats & Editions
Michael Tolliver, the sweet-spirited Southerner in Armistead Maupin's classic Tales of the City series, is arguably one of the most widely loved characters in contemporary fiction. Now, almost twenty years after ending his ground-breaking saga of San Francisco life, Maupin revisits his all-too-human hero, letting the fifty-five-year-old gardener tell his story in his own voice.
Having survived the plague that took so many of his friends and lovers, Michael has learned to embrace the random pleasures of life, the tender alliances that sustain him in the hardest of times. Michael Tolliver Lives follows its protagonist as he finds love with a younger man, attends to his dying fundamentalist mother in Florida, and finally reaffirms his allegiance to a wise octogenarian who was once his landlady.
Though this is a stand-alone novel--accessible to fans of Tales of the City and new readers alike--a reassuring number of familiar faces appear along the way. As usual, the author's mordant wit and ear for pitch-perfect dialogue serve every aspect of the story--from the bawdy to the bittersweet. Michael Tolliver Lives is a novel about the act of growing older joyfully and the everyday miracles that somehow make that possible.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
Maupin's seventh volume in his Tales of the City series arrives 18 years after his supposed final Tales novel, Sure of You. Indeed, the story picks up nearly 20 years later with none of the characters still living at 28 Barbary Lane, but still a family even if they're not under the same roof. Michael is now 55, and thanks to his HIV drug cocktail, he's living with AIDS and enjoying a healthy relationship with a much younger man. The novel also celebrates his strong relationships with his "logical" family of choice (as opposed to his "biological" family) that includes 85-year-old transsexual Anna Madrigal, longtime pal Brian and Brian's sex columnist daughter. Maupin's the perfect reader; he doesn't create voices for his characters because the book is told from Michael's POV. Although more sexually explicit that the previous novels, Maupin's cheerful and reassuring delivery makes it all good fun. This is the tale of Michael's move beyond his "suspended boyhood," and this return visit will enchant Maupin's legion of fans. There's a charming 20-minute interview with Maupin on the final disk. Simultaneous release with the HarperCollins hardcover (Reviews, Mar. 26). (June)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
Maupin revisits his beloved "Tales of the City" series in this novel focused on central character Michael Tolliver. While other names and faces from "Tales" appear, this story is about Michael, now in his mid-fifties (despite AIDS) and happy in his relationship, his house, and his job. Credit Maupin for making such a fortunate character likable and interesting, but Michael is confronting mortality and seeing the age in himself and everyone around him. His mother's illness creates an opportunity for him to return to Florida and connect with his biological family, while his San Francisco family faces challenges of its own, including new additions and worries about the frailty of Anna Madrigal, now in her eighties. Additional charm comes from Maupin's loving portrayal of San Francisco as a special oasis, despite the dot-com invasion and high housing prices. An affirmation of growing older and wiser that gives hope to those trying to appreciate what they have while staying true to themselves, this novel is a graceful coda to the series. Recommended for all public libraries. [See Prepub Alert, LJ3/15/07.]

Chapter One
Confederacy of Survivors
Not long ago, down on Castro Street, a stranger in a Giants parka gave me a loaded glance as we passed each other in front of Cliff's Hardware. He was close to my age, I guess, not that far past fifty—and not bad-looking either, in a beat-up, Bruce Willis-y sort of way—so I waited a moment before turning to see if he would go for a second look. He knew this old do-si-do as well as I did, and hit his mark perfectly.
"Hey," he called, "you're supposed to be dead."
I gave him an off-kilter smile. "Guess I didn't get the memo."
His face grew redder as he approached. "Sorry, I just meant . . . it's been a really long time and . . . sometimes you just assume . . . you know . . ."
I did know. Here in our beloved Gayberry you can barely turn around without gazing into the strangely familiar features of someone long believed dead. Having lost track of him in darker days, you had all but composed his obituary and scattered his ashes at sea, when he shows up in the housewares aisle at Cala Foods to tell you he's been growing roses in Petaluma for the past decade. This happens to me a lot, these odd little supermarket resurrections, so I figured it could just as easily happen to someone else.
But who the hell was he?
"You're looking good," hesaid pleasantly.
"Thanks. You too." His face had trenches like mine—the usual wasting from the meds. A fellow cigar store Indian.
"You are Mike Tolliver, right?"
"Michael. Yeah. But I can't quite—"
"Oh . . . sorry." He thrust out his hand. "Ed Lyons. We met at Joe Dimitri's after the second Gay Games."
That was no help at all, and it must have shown.
"You know," the guy offered gamely. "The big house up on Collingwood?"
Still nothing.
"The circle jerk?"
"We went back to my place afterward."
"On Potrero Hill!"
"You remember!"
What I remembered—all I remembered after nineteen years—was his dick. I remembered how its less-than-average length was made irrelevant by its girth. It was one of the thickest I'd ever seen, with a head that flared like a caveman's club. Remembering him was a good deal harder. Nineteen years is too long a time to remember a face.
"We had fun, " I said, hoping that a friendly leer would make up for my phallocentric memory.
"You had something to do with plants, didn't you?"
"Still do." I showed him my dirty cuticles. "I had a nursery back then, but now I garden full time."
That seemed to excite him, because he tugged on the strap of my overalls and uttered a guttural "woof." If he was angling for a nooner, I wasn't up for it. The green-collar job that had stoked his furnace had left me with some nasty twinges in my rotator cuffs, and I still had podocarps to prune in Glen Park. All I really wanted was an easy evening with Ben and the hot tub and a rare bacon cheeseburger from Burgermeister.
Somehow he seemed to pick up on that. "You married these days?"
"Yeah . . . pretty much."
"Married married or just . . . regular?"
"You mean . . . did we go down to City Hall?"
I told him we did.
"Must've been amazing," he said.
"Well, it was a mob scene, but . . . you know . . . pretty cool." I wasn't especially forthcoming, but I had told the story once too often and had usually failed to convey the oddball magic of that day: all those separate dreams coming true in a gilded, high-domed palace straight out of Beauty and the Beast. You had to have witnessed that long line of middle-aged people standing in the rain, some of them with kids in tow, waiting to affirm what they'd already known for years. And the mayor himself, so young and handsome and . . . neat . . . that he actually looked like the man on top of a wedding cake.
"Well," said Ed Lyons, stranger no more, now that I'd put a name to the penis. "I'm heading down to the bagel shop. How 'bout you?"
I told him I was headed for my truck.
"Woof!" he exclaimed, aroused by the mere mention of my vehicle.
I must've rolled my eyes just a little.
"What?" he asked.
"It's not that butch a truck," I told him.
He laughed and charged off. As I watched his broad shoulders navigate the stream of pedestrians, I wondered if I would find Ed's job—whatever it might be—as sexy as he found mine. Oh, yeah, buddy, that's right, make me want it, make me buy that two-bedroom condo! That Century 21 blazer is so fucking hot!
I headed for my truck (a light-blue Tacoma, if you must know), buzzing on a sort of homegrown euphoria that sweeps over me from time to time. After thirty years in the city, it's nice to be reminded that I'm still glad to be here, still glad to belong to this sweet confederacy of survivors, where men meet in front of the hardware store and talk of love and death and circle jerks as if they're discussing the weather.
It helps that I have Ben; I know that. Some years back, when I was still single, the charm of the city was wearing thin for me. All those imperial dot-commers in their SUVs and Hummers barreling down the middle of Noe Street as if leading an assault on a Third World nation. And those freshly minted queens down at Badlands, wreathed in cigarette smoke and attitude, who seemed to believe that political activism meant a subscription to Out magazine and regular attendance at Queer as Folk night. Not to mention the traffic snarls and the fuck-you-all maître d's and the small-town queers who brought their small-town fears to the Castro and tried to bar . . .

When I saw on my Color Nook blog this book advertised as Free download, I was excited to try it, sad to say it is incorrectly advertised on the B and N site. It is not free, oh well. Would like to read it, but not willing to spend tthis on an unknown author for me.
This is the only book told from Michael's point of view, which is a great way of continuing his story but with a different feeing. The book doesn't really move any action forward, but that's kinda the point. We're seeing Mouse at a specific point in his life, and he reminisces about the many people and events that have touched his life. It makes you remember the parts and characters of the prior book that you loved, but it does introduce you to new characters that now make perfect sense given his history. Comforting read.
A nice visit with Anna, Michael, and others. Great to peek into their lives after so many years. Michael so accurately assigns the term "logical family" to something we all have experienced. To read this would be a wonderful gift to one's self.
Great humorously written story of modern day "logical "family and biological family needs and finding personal values. Does include a same sex marriage so if you are close minded YOUR LOSE ! I'll be on the look out for more by this author,wonderful book club choice,too.
This IS part of the Tales of the City series. While Maupin originally stated it was a stand-alone, he then retracted his statement sometime later and that is completely agreeable. While it isn't written in the traditional serial format, it's a fresh look into the future of a beloved character and only left me even more excited to read Mary Ann in Autumn.

Powell is an incredible force on the stage: charming, amusing, human, and inspirational. I felt honored to hear from his valuable experiences and well-earned wisdom. I would happily attend any other events where he was a speaker.
Tracy Staples left a review 2/26/2015
It is clear that Hrabowski is a skilled speaker, one who has had much experience and who has absorbed some of the charm and passion of the great speakers he was exposed to early in his life. However, I found his inability or unwillingness to answer questions from the audience without merely returning to things he had already said frustrating and disappointing. The effect was as if he had no other prepared statements to make, and thus had nothing more to offer.
Cynthia Evans left a positive review 11/14/2014
The first dance we loved, just beautiful. The 2nd one was full of emotion and I was brought to a tear. The 3rd one even more emotional and of course, I cried. So deeply touched, the dancers were fantastic and the dances were so well done! The fourth dance was very good and so was the fifth, loved the colorful costumes but the expression in the dancers movements extremely graceful. The 6th was good. Overall, my daughter and I loved the ballets and the modern dances, it was very impressive. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God's path to follow our own paths." Isaiah 53:6 (NLT)
Rebellion. When people ask why life is so difficult, the answer can be summed up in that one word. Adam and Eve's rebellion against God in the Garden of Eden broke everything.
Why did they do it? God gave them a paradise to live in that offered everything they needed. And yet Adam and Eve thought they knew better than God. They decided they wanted to make their own choices. So they chose to do the one thing God told them not to do.
The book of Romans records the result of that one act of rebellion: "Sin came into the world because of what one man did, and with sin came death" (Romans 5:12 NCV).
We are no different from Adam and Eve. We all rebel against God and choose to do our own thing. "No one can say 'I am innocent. I've never done anything wrong'" (Proverbs 20:9 NCV).
Our rebellion against God falls into one of three categories.
David used all three terms in Psalm 32 when he made this confession to God: "I acknowledged my sin to you, and did not cover up my iniquity. I confessed my transgressions and you forgave my guilt" (Psalm 32:5 NIV).
Like David, we have broken God's laws in all three of these ways, which makes life so hard. But find hope in this: No matter which one it is, whether you don't measure up, or you intentionally go beyond the law, or you intend to hurt someone, God will still forgive you if you confess it to him. And that's good news!
Saddleback Resources offers a small group Bible study related to these devotionals: The Invisible War-Winning the Battle of Temptation.

Erik Grubbs usually has a secret advantage in the infrequent golf contests he enters.
Even though he doesn't play the game, he grew up in Pinehurst, N.C., and learned the basics about the swing at an early age. So, whenever he plays putt-putt with co-workers at Sabre Technologies or fellow Savannah College of Art and Design students, it catches them off-guard how good he is.
"I don't even watch golf,'' says Grubbs. "So it amazes them when I win.''
Grubbs amazed himself Thursday with another golf victory that will go a little farther than any on fake grass.
He was named this year's winner of the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf's Poster Design Contest and will have his work serve as the primary marketing tool for next year's Champions Tour event in Savannah. Grubbs and former SCAD graduate student Andrea Jordan, who collaborated on the winning design, will share a $500 scholarship endowed by the tournament as well as the satisfaction that Savannahians in and out of golf will be seeing their work all over town for the next six months.
If there's any negative for Grubbs, it's that he could now find it harder to find potential putt-putt pigeons given his new association with golf.
"This is a tremendous honor and, actually a surprise because so many of the other posters were more polished,'' said Grubbs, whose poster was chosen from among seven finalists during a ceremony at The Club at Savannah Harbor Thursday. All of the entries were submitted as required class work in SCAD's print studio I course. "It still hasn't completely registered yet that I won. I didn't think I had a chance because I thought I went a little too abstract for what they wanted.''
The winning design was actually a departure from Grubbs' traditional artwork.
After graduating from the University of Memphis in 1999, he worked primarily in electronic media on various Web sites, including a recent redesign for Federal Express. And even after starting graduate studies at SCAD a year and a half ago, he felt he needed to expand his style, which he did by creating the art for his poster by starting with "squiggly marks'' that he then scanned into a computer, cleaned up and finished in water colors.
The final product depicts the image of a golfer emerging from the Hutchinson Island side of the Talmadge Bridge against a crisp white background.
It just happened to work out for Grubbs and Jordan that the Legends was also looking for a new direction this year.
"This poster is very different than what we've done the last few years,'' said Legends executive director Tim Iley, who has overseen the contest for each of the four years the tournament has been in Savannah. "But it popped with all of us as soon as we saw it. What we look for is something that stands out and something that says golf and Savannah. This poster has all of that and more.''
And now Grubbs has more for his portfolio, which he has been attempting to update as much for professional as artistic purposes.
"After bouncing around from one dot.com to another,'' he says, "I wanted to hedge my bet on job security.''
He's done that.
Grubbs' latest work will be seen in area Kroger stores, which are the official ticket outlets for the Legends and will also be prominently displayed next April 17-23 at Savannah Harbor during the city's best-attended sporting event.
It will also be pretty good practice for what he has coming next.
Grubbs has two classes remaining for his graduate degree, but one of them is thesis. And, Grubbs says, that will be even more of a challenge than creating the major promotional tool for an international sporting event.
"Yes, because there will be a lot more explaining to do with thesis,'' said Grubbs. "I'll have to explain why I used a certain picture or a certain color. But a poster should be self-explanatory.''
Because Grubbs' is, he might have to start explaining to friends just how he became so in touch with golf.

UWM's "Book of Rhymes" features nationally-known poets
In its second season, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's annual open-mic talent show, "Book of Rhymes," is growing into one of the city's best poetry and song showcases. This year's event features two nationally recognized artists: comedian, poet and singer Spoken Reason, and UW poet Jasmine Mans.
Mans, 21, shot to stardom in 2010 after her now-infamous performance of the poem "Nicki Minaj" at the school's "Stomp Da Madness" event. Her fiery critique of the rap star sparked a massive online debate, and the video became an Internet sensation, garnering the sociology major national attention and 500,000 views on YouTube. »Read Full Article
Uneven Mumford & Sons show comes together at the finish
Before they became folk-revival rock stars, before they brought the banjo — the banjo! — to the top of the charts, Mumford & Sons became musical masters of pacing, tension and catharsis.
But it's one thing to accomplish this on sweeping singalong strummers like "The Cave" and "I Will Wait," or even across an entire album, like last year's blockbuster, album-of-the-year Grammy-winner "Babel." But sustaining spine-tingling anticipation and keeping the musical climaxes interesting, across an hour-and-forty-five-minute show is an entirely different, difficult challenge — one the band largely lived up in front of about 23,000 at a sold-out Marcus Amphitheater Tuesday night. »Read Full Article(38)

Bluegrass giant Ralph Stanley to appear at Pabst Theater Nov. 2
Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley brings his farewell tour to the Pabst Theater's lower level 8 p.m. Nov. 2.
At 86, Stanley has been defining the sound of bluegrass for more than 60 years with the Clinch Mountain Boys. It's not like he's been resting on his considerable laurels: Stanley won his three Grammys in the past 11 years, and was one of the defining voices of the soundtrack for the Coen brothers' 2000 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" He published his autobiography, "Man of Constant Sorrow: Life and Times of a Music Legend," in 2009. »Read Full Article

Bluewater Bonanza - Part 1
Wild On The Fly anglers Steve Jensen and Rich Jorgensen travel with filmmaker Joe Daniel to the Pacific coast of Guatemala. Lured by the promise of big sailfish on the fly, and the superb service and tropical comfort of Sailfish Bay Lodge, the group discovers spectacular natural environments, rich culture and an amazing offshore fishery. But can they get a piece of the incredible action being experienced by the conventional-gear/live-bait guys - using only 13-weight fly rods and eight-inch flies? The pressure is on!

I sort of did, awhile back with my fruit experiment.AND YOU WOULD GET FAT IF YOU ATE A PIECE OF FRUIT you BIG BRONY
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Oh, and I make fun of a lot of stuff. I mean, a lot of stuff. I'm always making fun of stuff. Laughter is the key to longevity.

These curtain panels & valences were easy to hang and look amazing. Color is very true to the website.
Curtains are hung in my bedroom and I love them. Lots to iron and I was sad that I didn't notice that there was only 1 panel in each package. So I had to place new order and wait over a week to get all the pieces.
Color was very close to picture. They hang beautifully. You will have to iron before hanging.
Love them! Great quality. True color.
I bought these in port and antique gold. They are for my living and dining room area. They give each room the flare I was looking for. Rich and sophisticated. I am very pleased. Trying to press out the wrinkles was not fun but worth the effort.
Love the rich look. Very nice sleek satin.
I was looking for 108" length lined curtain panels for my dining room windows in my Victorian home. These were the best value I had found. I did not notice the pleated ruffle on the edge of the panels when ordering online. I guess I was excited to find something that would work! I was pleasantly surprised to find the pleated ruffled edges. They are machine washable & they look great! I love my panels & would highly recommend them.
Thay look great in my living room, they make the room look rich
The panels and valances look gorgeous on our master bedroom windows. I am glad that I made the purchase.
Purchased 4 panels and 6 valences for our large livingroom window and this set looks fantastic!!! Has a nice lining as well and irons easily.
Beautiful and elegant.Great quality.Made the room look amazing.Highly recommend.
Please click on the Video tab to view a short how-to video on styling waterfall valances. The video will show you how to achieve the interlaced look. - Touch of Class Customer Service.
I love the curtains but they were the wrong color. They are pretty but I had already painted my room and bought my comforter
It was less expensive than making new draperies for a spare bedroom. Just not quite the same quality as when I make draperies.
They are the perfect decor for my family room. Service was ~very~ fast, the online tracking had it as a week and they were here in 4 days! <3 Them!
The curtains were as i pictured them,very lovely. The service was very fast. I am very pleased.
I absolutely love them! Theyare so beautiful. The service was great. It took only a week from the moment I placed an order. I am going to buy more of them .
so pretty and makes my window looks so greatttttttttttt
it was beautiful just wasent right for where i wanted them to go.
I bought them for a guest bedroom. Not what I thought they would look like. Too dark a gold for my comforter set.
pretty. nice fabric only very wrinkly and hard to press out. could have used instructions on how to over lap them especiallyu when doing 5. ( on valance).
nice color nice material. bought it for a second home. had to hold on to them until i could get there. when hanging there were alot of loose threads hanging form and on the panel.
The curtains are beautiful. Nice material. Easy to iron.
The panels do not shir at the top as the valances do and as the end of the video shows. They are a simple flipped over rod pocket casing with one seam so don't expect to be able to use valance between two panels on one rod as shown on the video. However, if your plan is to use 2 rods (one for the panels and another for the valance) I'm sure this will look very nice. The palest panels were more yellow than I'd wanted and what they appeared to be on my monitor.
I liked the style and color.Wasnt as heavy as I thought.Took for ever to get;Six weeks and I was sent the wrong length on the two panels I bought.
