Chicago Shakespeare delivers emotionally raw 'Gypsy'
Chicago — In "Finishing the Hat," Stephen Sondheim describes "Gypsy" — the 1959 musical for which Jule Styne wrote the music, Arthur Laurents wrote the book and Sondheim himself wrote the lyrics — as "probably the best" example of the soon-to-fade, "straightforward, character-driven musical play."
No argument here, and that's one reason I headed south to see the outstanding production of "Gypsy" that's on stage at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. The second is director Gary Griffin, who has now directed six Sondheim musicals at Chicago Shakes and who understands Sondheim as well as any living director. »Read Full Article

Air Conditioning Diagnosis Cost for Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T
Air Conditioning Diagnosis Estimate (National Average)
Many customers claim that their "A/C is not getting cold" when the actual issue is too little airflow from the vents. When you take your vehicle in for service, try to demonstrate the problem so the shop has a better understanding before they start the diagnosis.
Small leaks in the A/C refrigerant system are very difficult to find. To make finding leaks easier, a shop should add a special leak detection dye to the refrigerant every time the system is recharged.
As with most computer controlled systems in modern vehicles, the climate control system may need occasional software updates to address various issues. A quality shop will check with the manufacturer to see if there are any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to the problems you're having and will upgrade the software when possible.
If your A/C is providing little cooling or none at all, it may be that the system is leaking A/C refrigerant. As the system becomes low on refrigerant, you may hear the A/C compressor cycling on and off rapidly when the A/C is turned on.
Adding refrigerant to a poorly functioning A/C system without first diagnosing the problem may result in overcharging. This has been known to cause damage to the A/C compressor, resulting in a very expensive (and avoidable) repair.

Opening Day Excites, my Baseball Snow Days Rock & an Epic Fiddle Player Surprises
Friday, literally before dawn, we rolled out of Los Angeles for Yosemite National Park to clean out my in-laws cabin for renovations – with great vacation options come great responsibility. Four hours later, we hit Fresno and my in-laws called to say no go, the cabin is snowed in. And I don't mean, wimpy California snowed in, I mean my husband and I and his cousins digging all afternoon just to get to the shed to turn the power on and then starting on the cabin door, snowed in. So we grabbed shakes at In-N-Out and headed home. Breaking down the weekend so far: failed plans, I need to work a few hours later today to salvage the vacation day for a return trip to Yosemite, an eight hour drive for milkshakes, and unexpectedly getting to watch the game on Friday and Saturday. Hmmm…what does it say about me that I still think this adds up to a win? Sitting here luxuriating over coffee, brunch and an actual, live, for really real it counts, Angels game? I believe it says I have my priorities straight.
My thoughts on the season so far? Opening Day absolutely rocked. Jered Weaver pitched a Gem. Torii Hunter's bat loves those K stadium fountains. I love, love, love our outfield…as I may have mentioned a time or two in the past. Jordan Walden continues to have my vote for closer of the future. Twelve hits! The bullpen got roughed up but didn't actually blow the lead. It was a great game, a little too exciting there at the end, but a scary win is absolutely better than a sedate loss.
Mind you, the season is so young it isn't even in diapers yet, it's still in those pampers infant swaddling things, but I feel like I am finally watching Angels baseball after a poor imitation last season. The bats. The manufactured runs. The sacrifice bunts turned base hits. Both guys you would (Torii!) and would not (Happy Birthday, Jeff Mathis) expect going yard. Nailing the 6-4-3 and 4-6-3 double plays. Flying outfielders – Fleet Pete! Diving catches. Robbed homeruns. Great plays at the wall – heeelloooo Vernon Wells, and I bid you a hearty welcome to the team, good sir. A bullpen with a flair for the dramatic, especially the "closers." Yes, unfortunately, that's a hallmark of Angels baseball too, and one the team really needs to work on if we want to defy all of the predictions this season. I wish we'd pulled off the win on Friday but that one was close and, all in all, this is not a bad start to the season. More please, and by that I mean more like Thursday's game please!
Edit: I said more like Thursday's game. Thursday's game! Grrrrrr…the bullpen…and the stranded runners…and the gorram BULLPEN! *Breathes deeply* Excuse me while I swear loudly and pound the coffee table a few more times.
Imagine my pleasant surprise this weekend when a friend of mine confirmed that I was not mistaken in thinking I saw a familiar face in the new Brian Wilson's epic beard MLB commercial (below)…other than the obvious one, of course. The fiddle player on the right? An old, old friend of ours I am really glad to see getting some commercial work. It amuses me to no end that he is in this particular commercial given that he knows nothing about baseball. He thinks this is one of the strangest ad campaigns he has ever seen. I told him there's nothing odd about it. It's just your standard, every day, run of the mill commercial featuring a closer who says his beard is magic and that he's a certified ninja assassin with a gimp superhero housemate he refers to as the Machine. What could possibly be odd about that?
5 Comments
Brian Wilson is a riot! Love his commercials. The title of this post seemed pretty crazy, but I love the way you brought it together. Your Angels will be right there at the end, for sure, but they are in a very tough division and games against teams like the Royals have to be won.
Mixed bag of a weekend so far for the Halos. I watched the Friday game with Haren pitching, he was solid but not good enough. Kendrick is off to a nice start, but Kazmir…ughhh!
Raysfanboy – He cracks me up too. Thank you, my post titles are often a bit out there – they match the blogger.🙂 You could not be more right about needing to win games against teams like the Royals. The Angels often start out the season slow, but this was embarrassing.
Russel – Mixed Bag indeed. Outfield great. Hitting muuuuuuch better. Situational hitting better. Rotation from Oh wow to Oh Sh…er…No. And the bullpen? A cautionary tale for frightening small children at the moment, I'm afraid. I'm not sounding the panic alarm just yet, but I hope this weekend inspires management to make a few changes and plug some holes.
— Kristen
Good that baseball is hear for real, but the weather outside is frightfull. It's raining/snowing/slushing here, too. Hope it clears up by next week.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Mike – Yeah, your house probably looks more than a bit like the Yosemite cabin right now. The Yosemite snow willl porbably be on the ground with reinforcements until late April/early May at this point. I hope the weather up by you clears for Spring a lot sooner than that.

Found Downtown: Weeping in public at the SavoyMarch 18,2013Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Terry Youk, owner of The Savoy Theater in Montpelier, sits between the theaters old film projector, right, and a brand new state-of-the-art digital projector, left.
If youre thinking about watching a movie at Montpeliers Savoy Theater, be warned: It might make you cry.
Recently I went to see Amour, this years Oscar pick for best foreign language film. What I had expected to be a romantic French movie about an aging couple turned out to be a romantic French movie about dementia and dying that frightened the bejeezus out of me.
Several years ago, at the Savoy-affiliated Green Mountain Film Festival, I watched Silent Souls, a movie about a man in a remote corner of Siberia whose wife has died. He and a companion put her body in the back of a station wagon and take a multiple-day journey to cremate her according to the traditions of their culture. As you might guess, it wasnt much of a side-splitter.
Although neither Amour nor Silent Souls has a happy ending or offers much in the way of blockbuster-style entertainment, they are beautiful films. Savoy owner Terry Youk works hard to preserve the theaters reputation as a place that inspires its audiences to think, learn and feel rather than simply escape into fantasy worlds populated by star-studded casts.
We wouldnt want any of those teenage heartthrob-type movies, said Youk. The films that play at the Savoy arent just entertainment. They tell stories that matter and might change peoples minds about issues and ideas.
Andrew and Reidun Nuquist, longtime patrons of the Savoy, cant imagine a Montpelier without it. Weve seen great films there over the years, said Andrew Nuquist. To pull out a favorite would be difficult. Its just great film after great film.
Although they admit to sometimes renting DVDs from the Savoys Downstairs Video on East State Street, the Nuquists try to attend a showing at the theater at least once every several weeks. Theres something about sitting in the dark in a theater where you can hear people gasp together and laugh together, said Reidun Nuquist. Its so different than just sitting at home in your living room watching a film.
The Savoy first opened at the turn of the 20th century but shut down some years later. In 1981, Rick Winston and Andrea Serota reopened the single-screen theater and transformed it into the art house that it is today.
Youk bought the theater in 2009 and added a second screening room downstairs. He works to preserve the Savoy as a central Vermont mecca for independent and foreign films. The story I hear a lot is the one that goes, I was looking around the area for a community to move into, and the Savoy is what sealed the deal for me. People who visit decide they love the culture that this place represents, he said.
The downstairs venue, which is furnished with plush chairs, low tables made of film reels, and a bar that sells wine and Vermont beer, is as conducive to community-building as it is to watching movies. Onion River Sports has rented the space for outdoor adventure film events. The Central Vermont Osher Lifelong Learning Institute hosts end-of-semester matinee showings of film classics with discussions, led by Winston, that are open to the public.
Arguably one of Montpeliers most anticipated annual community events is the Green Mountain Film Festival, which will take place this year from Friday through March 31. The Nuquists are such fans that they try to schedule nothing during its entire 10-day run in order to watch every film they can. This year, Reidun has already purchased tickets using the festivals new online system to see 30 films, up to five a day. Her husband will see 35.
And theres a lot to be excited about. Its a real bumper crop this year, said Youk. We ended up selecting 82 films from 30 countries, and there are a lot of great films in all categories.
The movies themselves make up only part of the fun. Its very social, said Reidun Nuquist. You sit down and you talk to strangers, you discuss the film youve just seen, and its really great fun.
In spite of its undeniable reputation as a beloved cultural landmark, the Savoy struggles financially.
Youk attributes this partly to an aging demographic. Younger people, he said, arent going to the movies as much because there are so many films available on demand from Netflix and other service providers. And folks in their 20s, 30s and early 40s who have kids are finding its hard to arrange a date to go out, he said.
Indeed, Id made plans to see Amour with a friend who is the mother of two small children. But after a full day of keeping them out of trouble and trucking them to and from soccer practice, she was too tired to join me.
The best solution, if youre a parent who wants to see a movie at the Savoy, might simply be to bring your kids with you. The Nuquists speak proudly of the theaters influence on their son John, now 46. We used to take him to the movies when he was old enough, and hes become a real film buff. He knows more about film than we ever will, said Reidun Nuquist.
From Youks standpoint, the future financial stability of the Savoy depends on restructuring it under an existing nonprofit organization. Running as a nonprofit would help the theater compete for grant funding, provide a tax incentive to people who donate or become members, and create opportunities to partner with other nonprofits.
Youk is exploring two possibilities and expects to choose one within the next year. One is to sell the theater to the Vermont College of Fine Arts, which has recently launched a graduate-level film school. The other is to bring it under the umbrella of Focus on Film, the organization that already coordinates the Green Mountain Film Festival.
In the meantime, anyone can help by donating money to the Savoy or simply going there to see movies. According to Youk, just seven more ticket sales per day would keep the theater on solid financial footing.
Its a matter of attending what you value, said Reidun Nuquist. If you dont support your local cinema, its going to disappear.

A mother in England made a gruesome find, discovering a bloody heroin needle in a loaf of bread.
The woman in Manchester was making her 10-year-old a sandwich when she found the used needle pushed through the loaf's plastic wrapper, The Telegraph reported.
She called authorities, who used DNA technology to link the syringe to 61-year-old David Rodgers.
Rodgers, of Salford, pleaded guilty this week to contaminating the bread with intent to cause public alarm, The Daily Mail reported.
He said he hid the heroin needle in the bread after getting high in December to keep his wife from finding out he was using the drug again.

If you suffer from migraines there are ways to try to treat the severe headaches at home.
According to the Mayo Clinic, muscle relaxation exercises can help. You can try yoga or meditation to get your body to relax.
Sleep is another way to treat a migraine. Getting the recommended six to eight hours of sleep a night – and going to bed at a regular time can help.
When you feel a headache coming on, the Mayo Clinic suggests relaxing in a dark, quiet room. The hospital also recommends placing an ice pack on the back of your neck.
The Mayo Clinic also recommends keeping a journal that logs your headaches. This will help during your next doctor visit so you can show how often they occur and find some possible triggers.

Food and Feeding
Breastfeeding, the key to good health of mothers and babies, also significantly benefits families, employers, and society. For these reasons, WIC and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend feeding your baby only breast milk until age 6 months, and breast milk plus solid food from 6 - 12 months and beyond.
The 10 Steps Project: Empowering Mothers and Nurturing Babies
The evidence is in, and it says that mothers who receive breastfeeding support from their health care providers prenatally and in the hospital are more likely to reach their breastfeeding goals. Vermont hospitals are teaming up with WIC, VCHIP, the Vermont Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Vermont Academy of Family Physicians to update their breastfeeding policies and to train staff to Empower Mothers & Nurture Babies. Join us in supporting Health Vermonters right from the start!
Knowledge + Support + Confidence = Success!

INTERPOL's Strategic Framework sets the Organization's priorities and objectives for a given period of time (three years). It provides a focused and effective structure to guide INTERPOL programmes and activities during this period and to report progress and successes.
In October 2013, during its 82nd session, the INTERPOL General Assembly adopted the Strategic Framework 2014-2016.
The Framework contains four strategic priorities and two corporate priorities.
These priorities are in line with the Organization's vision and mission and reflect the dynamic environment and challenges of international policing in the 21st century.
Strategic priorities
1: Secure global police information system
We run a secure global police information and support system that connects all 190 National Central Bureaus (NCBs), along with other authorized law enforcement agencies and strategic partners, allowing them to instantly access, request and submit vital data.
We are committed to making these tools and services more efficient and effective over the next three years. In particular, we will maintain and reinforce the infrastructure serving all member countries (INTERPOL Secure Cloud) while ensuring the widest access possible to its products. We will also focus on the sharing of data and interoperability between INTERPOL and other systems.
2: 24/7 support to policing and law enforcement
We provide round-the-clock support and a wide range of operational assistance to our member countries, including emergency and crisis response. We are committed to further improving response times, follow-up and the integrated nature of our response.
Objectives and activities are focused around supporting the development and capacities of our NCBs, the services provided by our Command and Coordination Centre, the development of new investigative expertise, and the deployment of teams specialized in incident response, security issues at major events and the identification of disaster victims.
3: Innovation, capacity building and research
We are committed to enhancing the tools and services that we provide in the area of law enforcement training and to raising standards in international policing and security infrastructures. We remain committed to delivering high-level training and technical assistance, leveraging on law enforcement expertise and resources.
We will develop certification, accreditation and standards on policing and security matters, and support law enforcement in addressing new forms of crimes by providing cybercrime training and digital forensic assistance. In addition, we will seek to increase partnerships, research and innovation on security and give increased focus to capacity building efforts in post-conflict and/or risk areas.
4: Assisting in the identification of crimes and criminals
We provide the highest quality database services, analytical capabilities and other innovative tools to assist in preventing crime as well as assisting in the identification, location and arrest of fugitives and cross-border criminals. We aim to further improve our criminal information databases and better support their integration, along with analytical/investigative methods and mechanisms.
Objectives and activities will centre on improving the quality and quantity of information in our databases, providing operational and specialized investigative support to member countries, developing a global approach to integrated border management, and providing a platform on technologically enabled threats, including cybercrime.
Corporate priorities
5: Ensure organizational health and sustainability
We will strengthen our organizational health and support mechanisms in order to ensure efficient delivery of our core products and services. A key activity in this area will be the implementation of a new INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore from September 2014. We are also committed to improving our human resources strategy in order to best attract and retain talent while promoting diversity as one of INTERPOL's key strengths. In line with our evolving funding model, we will continue to associate with relevant partners – whether private or public – while ensuring safeguards are in place for the Organization to preserve both its transparency and independence.
6: Consolidate the institutional framework
We recognize the importance of efficient governance mechanisms, the need to develop the strategic and geographical outreach for the Organization, and to find innovative solutions to complement INTERPOL's funding. In this context, a comprehensive communication strategy plays a significant role in raising INTERPOL's public profile and awareness of the Organization. This institutional effort needs to be supported by solid legal foundations. INTERPOL will continue to focus efforts on enhancing the legal stability and foundation for its international activities. Finally, INTERPOL gives further emphasis to the importance of establishing networks of cooperation with other international organizations.
INTERPOL's vision and mission
The vision: "Connecting police for a safer world"
The mission: "Preventing and fighting crime through enhanced cooperation and innovation on police and security matters"

Sapiro and Zempel shine in Acacia's 'Heaven Sent'
As children sing Christmas carols in the gathering gloom, a man bends over his work desk, trying to ignore the sound. Asked by a neighbor for help, he first wants to ensure she can pay. Encouraged to come join his fellows, he grumpily refuses, preferring to count his safely stowed money.
I could be describing Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," but I'm actually recounting the first scene in playwright Rick Whelan's "Heaven Sent," which is receiving its Midwest premiere courtesy of www.acaciatheatre.com/">Acacia Theatre, under directors Elaine Wyler and Michael Landers. »Read Full Article

Support GMO labelingMarch 07,2013
I am writing to support Vermont legislation that requires labeling genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, in our foods. In both the Senate and the House, bills have been introduced titled An Act Relating to Food Produced With Genetic Engineering, aka H.112 and S.89. I do not want the Legislature to wait until other states have passed similar legislation for fear of legal backlash from big ag companies like Monsanto.
I am a consumer who wants to avoid pesticides and other additives in my food. Recently, though, I have discovered a terrible reality: Because of inadequate labeling, it is almost impossible to avoid buying foods with genetically engineered, or GE, ingredients.
An estimated 75 to 80 percent of processed foods sold in the U.S. are produced using GE ingredients; yet, published international studies reveal that there may be health and environmental risks associated with the consumption, as well as production, of GE foods. The FDA does not require independent studies of GE foods; GE food producers themselves decide what information to provide to the FDA and to us consumers. In other words, the FDA cannot be relied on to protect us regarding GE ingredients in our foods.
Food producers are not required to label GE foods. Until recently, I assumed that foods labeled organic would be free of GMOs. Alas, foods labeled organic are not required to have all organic, non-GMO ingredients. For instance, unless specifically labeled non-GMO, the sugar and soy lecithin in organic brands of rice milk are more than likely to have been genetically engineered.
It is my right to know what is in my food. I believe that everyone has the right to know what is in his or her food, and that we should not be forced to buy more expensive brands of food in order to try to avoid what we fear may be unsafe ingredients.
I believe that Vermont can and should lead the nation on this issue. We cannot cower in the face of corporate money and power; we must find the means to secure our right to feed ourselves and our children as safely as possible. It is in Vermonts best interest, indeed, the basis for the states wholesome image, to safeguard both the health and integrity of its people.
Those concerned about GMOs in your diet and your childrens diet can become informed through the Vermont Right to Know GMOs Coalition website, www.vtrighttoknow.org. At the very least, let friends, neighbors and our legislators know your concerns.

Treatment of pigs is concerning
Many pork consumers are unpleasantly surprised to learn that pregnant sows are often confined for their entire reproductive life to individual spaces that are so small that virtually no movement is possible. The term gestation crate is commonly applied to these small spaces. Advocates of more humane pork production systems have been working for some time now to require that a minimal standard of crate size that allows sow movement be adopted into our animal welfare statutes.
Another voice in support of this position was heard Jan. 10, when the Vermont Livestock Care Standards Advisory Council issued a statement recommending that the confinement of sows during gestation is done in a manner that allows them to turn around freely, lie down, stand up, and fully extend their limbs.
The council, created by the Vermont Legislature for the purpose of making recommendations to the Legislature on farm animal welfare issues such as this one, includes a very diverse group of individuals including various livestock producers and handlers, veterinarians, the secretary of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, and representatives of agricultural colleges, slaughter facilities, food safety organizations and local humane agencies. A Vermont hog farmer also sits on the council. Given the diversity of the group, the unanimous recommendation to abandon the use of severely restrictive crates for gestation suggests that a widespread consensus is emerging that this is not an appropriate animal care system. Following testimony and discussion, the council did recommend that the use of crates for limited restraint of swine for purposes such as feeding, breeding, handling, farrowing (giving birth) and disease control continue to be permitted.
The councils position is supported by the Vermont Veterinary Medical Associations similar testimony as presented at hearings last March. In that testimony, professor Temple Grandin, a national expert on livestock management practices, was cited for her comprehensive look at the gestation crate system and her assessment that most natural sow behavior is prevented by confinement that excludes the simple movements at issue. In her analysis, the severely restrictive crating system clearly violates several of the basic parameters used to measure farm animal well-being, including: freedom to express natural behavior, freedom from discomfort and freedom from distress.
This recommendation makes a statement that here in Vermont we are committed to examining our animal husbandry practices when needed, and that we take seriously the increasing societal concerns about the treatment of farm animals in the age of industrial meat production.
Even though currently most pork production in Vermont does not use such severely restrictive crates for sow gestation, it is encouraging that the council affirms that they are not acceptable and that, going forward, new operations should not employ crates that prevent sow movement for anything but very time-limited usage.

Anthony Foxx, the mayor of Charlotte, N.C., has been unanimously confirmed by the Senate to be transportation secretary, The Associated Press reported.
He replaces Ray LaHood, who said in January he wouldn't serve a second term.
The transportation secretary is responsible for overseeing the nation's roads, airports and railways.
Foxx, first elected mayor in 2009, helped lead last summer's Democratic National Convention in the Queen City. He also championed the completion of an additional runway at the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, though Foxx doesn't have any specific experience as a transportation executive.
Earlier this month, Foxx announced he wouldn't seek re-election at Charlotte's mayor.

Students in a western Nebraska town were banned from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day last week because of the government shutdown.
The decision by Alliance High School Principal Pat Jones on Oct. 7 outraged parents and some students alike.
One woman told The Associated Press her son stood up in class and recited the pledge anyway.
District superintendent Troy Unzicker said Jones hadn't cleared the move beforehand, and wouldn't be doing so again.
He would not say whther Jones had been disciplined.
"There were some positive aspects that came out of it, but (skipping the pledge) is not something we will do again," Unzicker said.

The Courts Deliver a Labor Day Win to Texas

Chairman, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
In its recent 2-1 ruling, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals voided the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). This ruling means that jobs threatened by these EPA rules will be saved--a Labor Day victory for all Texans.
The ruling will assure Texas families-- on this and future Labor Day weekends-- that they can enjoy the holiday in reliable, safe, cool comfort without shelling out even more money on utility bills. Or worse, suffer rolling brownouts and blackouts that mean no electricity at all.
Had the court not vacated CSAPR, the rule would have imposed onerous new costs on coal-fired power plants, causing some to shut down or curtail operations, which would cost Texas jobs. It also threatened electrical generation reserve capacity all over the country. These reserve margins are critical to avoid power disruption during times of peak demand, which Texas approached several times this summer. Even temporary loss of reserve capacity risks dangerous blackouts.
Texas is growing and the demand for reliable electricity is increasing at a rate of two percent per year. However, we are only increasing capacity by one to one and a half percent per year, which means the electricity demand is exceeding the supply. This rule would have thrown a massive roadblock in the way of bringing more electrical capacity online, and thankfully it is no longer an impediment to increased market certainty. More capacity will continue to make Texas the best place to do business, grow our economy, provide more jobs, and keep on our lights.
Like so many of EPA's other rules and actions -- such as extreme tightening of ozone limits and "global warming" control schemes -- the rule was not intended so much to improve the environment as to impose unnecessary, expensive federal controls on industry and to increase the costs of energy to citizens. Increased energy costs are especially tough on the poor and the elderly living on fixed incomes, and they increase the price of nearly everything individuals purchase.
Hopefully the EPA will take this adverse ruling as another sign that times are changing. No longer will citizens, states, and industry stand by as the EPA destroys states' economies; imposes higher costs on citizens; and threatens critical infrastructure for absolutely no environmental benefit. We stand as a nation to improve our economy, improve the health of all Americans, and improve our environment.
The EPA is called to work with states, not against them, and should cease its unlawful power grabs.

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

The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done. It often is difficult to diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS) because the symptoms are similar to those of other conditions. There is no definitive test for MS. However, the findings of some tests can contribute to a diagnosis.
Tests may include:
- MRI scan—This test uses magnetic and radio waves to check for damage to the myelin sheath of the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. A contrast substance may be used to help doctors identify damaged areas. MRI may also be used to track changes in the disease.
- Evoked responses—This test records the speed of the electrical responses in sensory, visual, or auditory nerves after a repeated sensory stimulus. This test can help identify abnormal areas affected by MS. Visual evoked potential tests are most often used in evaluating MS.
- Lumbar puncture—In this procedure, a small amount of fluid from around the spinal cord is removed and checked for white blood cells, antibodies, and proteins. Doctors look for abnormal changes associated with MS.
Other tests may be done to rule out other conditions that may have similar symptoms.

For years now, I've driven past it, making a mental note to stop by "sometime" and check it out—the Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History. I have a keen interest in the rich historical significance of the early settlers' lives here in the Upper Delaware River Valley, but until a few weeks ago, hadn't pulled into the lot. Unwilling to let another summer go by without paying a visit, I made my way to Narrowsburg, NY and toured the Fort, chatted with museum director Debra Conway and left impressed that this historical gem is glittering so close to home, welcoming visitors with an entertaining and educational glimpse of the past.
Before my trip, a quick glance online revealed that "Fort Delaware is an authentic depiction of the life of the Delaware Company pioneers who settled in the Upper Delaware Valley in 1754. A tour of the facilities includes demonstrations of early settlers' lifestyles and craft-making. A gift shop, vending area and picnicking facilities are located on the grounds. Each spring, the Fort is host to over 1,000 students who participate in the Student Days program." (www.co.sullivan.ny.us [1]). While this was a decent overview, Conway was most helpful in filling in some of the blanks. "There is a misconception that the original settlement was actually built on this site," she said, "but in reality, this replica was built by James W. Burbank in 1957 as a roadside attraction, during the sightseeing boom of the '50s."
Faithful in all details, the complex that we see now recreates what was once part of the "Cushetunk Settlement" where early settlers befriended members of the native Lenape Tribe and secured a deed to some of the land in 1754. With no written language, the native word 'Cushetunk" was at some point interpreted as "Cochecton," which lingers to this day. "In reality, there was no such thing as 'Fort Delaware,'" Conway said, "but the Cushetunk settlement served as a site where 28 families within a 30-mile radius could take refuge if they felt threatened during the height of the French and Indian War. Lots of visitors think that the 'Lower Fort' saw action during the conflict, but Burbank actually came up with the name on his own, in his attempt to create the tourist attraction."
Although the complex was never really a military installation, the threats of everyday life in the wilderness and the inherent danger that came with the territory were very real, and the stockade served a purpose. "Although friendly relations with the Lenape were in place," Conway continued, "there were unknowns when other tribes were encountered, and if settlers were unnerved, the women and children would hole up in the original Lower Fort, and signals would alert the others, but it appears that the only real threat occurred there in 1763. It's a great story that visitors can hear in detail when they come to visit."
Not far away, the very real Battle of Minisink is re-created each year and throughout the season the Fort Delaware Museum hosts lecturers and scholars who stop in to share the "very colorful, very rich" history that the region was home to. "The sacrifices that these people endured were no less real than those who encountered battles during better known scenes of war," Conway continued, "and the tableaus of everyday life recreated here are faithful depictions."
I strolled the grounds with a guide, who was well versed, and his anecdotal references were interesting, informative and vividly illustrated the settler's life. Around every corner, re-enactors could be found in period dress, making history come alive, and I learned a great deal about colonial life during my stay. "We get a lot of visitors en route to another destination," Conway reported, "and the Fort provides a picture of what was going on in America during this period in history. According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, 90% of traveling Americans make it a point to explore places of historical significance, and it is our goal to provide those visitors with a great experience. I love observing the kids who are being exposed to a radically different way of life. As they put down the iPads and cell phones, they are transported to another era and seem to walk away with renewed appreciation for what they have, and what their predecessors did not."
The Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History is a great place to share with relatives and friends. Whether you have an hour to spare or an entire afternoon, you'll find the place interactive and educational. My visit there was one worth repeating and is a great destination for the whole family, located along the Scenic Byway at 6615 State Route 97, Narrowsburg, NY.
