Summertime provides entertainment opportunities throughout the Upper Delaware valley, and there are live stage shows popping up all over. Among them, both the Forestburgh Playhouse (FBP) and the Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop (SCDW) opened their doors for the season this past week.
The first show on the bill for the FBP is Frank Loesser's "musical fable," "Guys and Dolls." Based on stories and characters written by Damon Runyon, with the show's book written by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, "Guys" takes a peek into the world of gamblers, sinners, showgirls and saviors in the late 1940s.
Having enjoyed a successful run on Broadway in its debut, the musical has been revived repeatedly and was translated to the silver screen in 1955, starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine. Forestburgh's production has plenty of guys and dolls, but if I had to place bets on which gender wins the opening gambit, my money is on the men. Dan Fenaughty (as Sky Masterson) gives a solid performance as the ne'er-do-well who falls for the most unlikely doll, Sarah Brown, (Elana Jillian Abt) and his strong voice and affable charm do justice to songs like " I'll Know†and "Luck be a Lady†as the story unfolds.
Robert Anthony Jones and Zachary Bencal (as Nathan Detroit and Nicely Nicely, respectively) were both outstanding and each had golden moments on stage. Jones' comic timing is stellar, and his duet with fiancee Adelaide ("Sue Meâ€) stands out, assisted by LoriAnn Freda, who gives a competent, if unsurprising interpretation of Runyon's colorful, wildly exaggerated singing doll.
Although both the male and female chorus were on point with the lively, hummable score, which includes memorable tunes "Havana,""The Oldest Established" and the play's title song, it's still "all in" for the guys. Shining above them all is Bencal, whose hilarious performance as Nicely Nicely Johnson not only elevates this production each and every time he is on stage, but his rendition of the show stopping "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" is beyond fabulous. Bencal's amazing vocal ability, paired with a flawless stage presence, (aided and abetted by nice staging from artistic supervisor Ron Nash and resident director Kevin Confoy) is single-handedly responsible for making this show work.
Great tunes, plenty of laughs and Runyon's cartoonish characters all combine to make "Guys and Dolls" a lot of fun, and provide long-time patrons and newcomers alike an opportunity to experience the high octane entertainment that the playhouse has to offer. Since "Legally Blonde, The Musical" is on the docket, I'm looking forward to seeing what the company's dolls have up their sleeves. This one goes to the guys, hands down.

Over at the Rivoli Theatre in South Fallsburg, the SCDW has produced a favorite rarely seen in the Catskills: "The Fantasticks." Aside from several familiar songs written by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, "The Fantasticks" has the unique distinction of being "the worlds longest running musical" (The show's original off-Broadway production ran a total of 42 years).
A charming story that borrows liberally from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet,""The Fantasticks" has feuding parents, second-rate actors, a dashing hero and the requisite star-crossed lovers, with a mime thrown in for good measure. Director Sally Gladden takes advantage of the show's devices-a sparse set and a seemingly bottomless trunk full of props, which gives the production's glittering score the opportunity to shine.
The cast, Hayley Cosgrove, Jim Sullivan, Marissa Cohen, Chris Sheridan, Allen Eckers, Heather Strauss, Harold Tighe and Mike Washburn, is a bit of a mixed bag, with some performers more on the mark than others. Sullivan's El Gallo is a subtler rendition of the character than I've seen in the past, and a bit more machismo and swagger would have gone a long way, as the character should ooze a sexy, dark demeanor that was missing for me.
The teenaged lovers, Matt and Luisa (Sheridan and Cohen) both have lyrical voices and sounded pretty, but lacked a stage presence that perhaps, comes with maturity. In an interesting twist, the parents (traditionally both fathers) were mom and pop in this version, and director Gladden's decision to recast worked seamlessly. Straus' interpretation of Bell was fun and tuneful, which helped elevate Eckers' efforts to keep up, both musically and comically.
Harold Tighe's Shakespearean buffoon was his best performance to date and his sidekick (played by Washburn) amused as well. The music is undoubtedly the star of this production, and lesser known songs like "Much More," "They Were You" and "Soon it's Gonna Rain," somehow eclipsed the show's signature tune, El Gallo's "Try to Remember." All in all, the production succeeds, with much of the credit given to the book and score. My hat's off, however, to the SCDW for presenting "The Fantasticks" to begin with, since it's legacy is strong and audiences unfamiliar with this lovely show now have an opportunity to experience it in the refurbished Rivoli, which is also well worth a visit.

I've been breastfeeding my little girl for 9 weeks now. I've been back to work for two weeks, where i pump every two to three hours or as needed. My milk supply is really good--problem is, I'm still feeling engorged after about two hours when I'm away from her. I went to my brother-in-law's birthday party last night, and in four hours, I had to go out to the car and pump twice because I was hurting so badly. My breasts are still getting hard as rocks and lumpy when they're full, and I'm prone to plugged ducts.
Any advice on how to handle my fullness, or tips on when it might get better?

Queerwind for the week of July 15
What a week it has been for the anti-gay folks across the country.
The Boy Scouts of America issued a statement saying that they had concluded a two-year long, secret review of their policy banning openly gay individuals from being a scout or a scout leader. They decided to keep the ban, stating "this policy is absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts." You can learn more about the ban here.
The folks at Chick-Fil-A, specifically their Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy, admitted that they have earned their anti-gay stripes in an interview with the Baptist Press. This admission took the internet by storm. Thank goodness Hilah had just posted a recipe on how to make the delicious sandwich at home! Finally, Boston's Mayor Menino is hoping to ban the chain from their city.
On the post-Don't Ask Don't Tell side of the news, the Pentagon has granted military men and women the right to wear uniforms in Pride parades around the country!
A new study out this week about HIV infection demographics show the staggeringly high rates of the disease in young, African-American men who have sex with men. "A young Black gay man has a roughly 1-in-4 chance of being infected by age 25. By the time he is 40 years old, the odds a Black gay man will be living with HIV is roughly 60%. One can scour the entire world and struggle to find a population more heavily affected by HIV/AIDS than Black gays in the U.S." Read more on the study here.
Finally, there is an important question among committed same-sex couples about weddings. Do you need to have one when you have basically been married for a number of years already? What are your thoughts? Leave an answer in the comments below.

- Abstract
- Four-point bend tests with in situ acoustic emission (AE) were used to study the cracking behavior of alumina-3 % titania materials prepared by gas- and water-stabilized plasma technologies (GSP and WSP, respectively). Catastrophic failure was observed for GSP-sprayed samples while WSP-sprayed samples exhibited microcracking before failure. The amplitude and energy distributions were also investigated, and it was determined that the percentage of macrocracks for GSP-sprayed samples is much larger than for WSP-sprayed samples. The processing effects, which induced differences in microstructure, may account for the differences in AE responses.

|Sara Stevens
In light of Bullying Prevention Month coming up, 13 year-old pop-opera singer, Sara Stevens was a victim of bullying and could serve as a remarkable role model for her peers. Unfortunately, Sara knows all too well the tortures of being bullied for being "different". Instead of being defeated by the teasing and harsh words, she found solace and a new found confidence, through singing. While she is only 13, some of Sara's accomplishments include performing in La Boheme with the Atlanta Opera; singing the National anthem at the New York Giants vs. New England Patriots game; and gracing the legendary stage at Carnegie Hall. She's now working on her album with famed producer Paul Schwartz of Phantom Of the Opera on Broadway. Please check out Sara's EPK at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkdh6p5NKkQ&feature=youtu.be to see all the new and exciting projects she is working on. Additionally, she wrote a song about her experiences called "Dance In This Dream" to use her voice to stand up to bullying and show the world how music has helped her overcome her struggles.

It was written as a positive message and call to action for all of us to stand up to bullying. Any monies generated from iTunes sale of the audio track are being given to an anti-bullying organization.

The band wrote a wee insert for the CD, which reads:
"This is the documentation of our medium rise and barely noticeable fall, in the form of non-CD and unreleased tracks. Tracks 1-3 you will find the triple a-side we released on 7" in late 2006, tracks 4-9 are unreleased studio outings, 10-13 are rough demos and 14-16 are poor drunken practice room takes. Expect out of time vocals, poorly executed choruses and problematic time-keeping.
Untitled Musical Project were: Andrew Barry Graham - bass and vocals, Kieran Duffy - guitar and vocals, and two reluctant to sing drummers in the form of James Peacock and Gregory Shingler."
You can download the whole album free from HERE or buy in the Tigertrap shop for the price of postage.
"Even the brightest flame must one day flicker out," said someone, once. Following in this grand and sweeping tradition, Tigertrap's finest faux-Brummie noise-makers Untitled Musical Project have decided to call it quits.
Rather than wallow in an empire of despair, Tigertrap chooses to remember the happier days, like the amazing audience-band banter the night Bernard Manning met his maker. Or the spontaneous 'fight song' they invented on stage last week to soundtrack two young ladies rolling around on the floor, scratching at each others' eyes.
Precious times, indeed.
For those sentimental types, there are two more chances to see them play:
26th June @ The Victoria, BIRMINGHAM (w/ Johnny Foreigner + Hot Club de Paris)
6th July @ The Lexington, LONDON (w/ The Victorian English Gentlemen's Club)
We're also putting together a wee CD of unreleased songs, new & old, which will be given away in one final gesture of love at the London show. Details on that to follow.
The band say:
Dearest non-existent fans,
We have decided to call it a day. Thank you for everybody who came to our gigs and helped us along are dysfunctional way. We have two more gigs left one this Friday in Birmingham at the Victoria and one on the 6th of July in el Capital at the Lexington. We have but a few songs we recorded a month or so a go up for your listening displeasure.
Thank you good night.
Ump. xx

I'm not a Joey fan but when Sam wins as many NW races as Joey did last year, I'd say put him in Cup... BTW, it was 6 races with a partial schedule...

how dare you rochelle come to my thread and disagree, you need more brain washing classes.
I miss you Frehley........
Re: yea sammy!
I'm hopeful he can keep blossoming in that 12 car, maybe finish this year and run one more with a partial Cup schedule and give it another shot. He keeps getting more and more comfortable with the stock car in kind of a lower pressure situation (though obviously he has to perform or it's his last shot) instead of trying to show he belonged in Cup and constantly over driving and spinning out.

Detective Brown stood in the dimly lit squad room. It had been three days since he had received the call about the body in the basement of the apartment building and the investigation was now in full swing. Brown or his partner had spoken to literally everyone who was in the building that day. All 32 people.
They had painstakingly searched the Johnson apartment, the stairwell, the basement, and the empty, recently purchased, shared apartment between the Johnsons and their neighbor Tom.
Brown had sent everyone home. Even his partner. He typically liked to work back through his notes and all of the various reports on his own.
He sipped at his ice coffee and started from the top.
They had found very little. In the Johnson apartment, there had been no sign of foul play. But an errant chess piece on the floor in the dining room had caught Brown's eye. Mrs. Johnson said her husband hadn't played in months.
"It must have fallen."
"Yes, certainly," Brown said.
In the back stairwell, an indentation on the railing had made it seem like something heavy had been paused there for an extended period of time. Maybe a body. It was possibly related, but there was no way to tell how long the indentation had actually been there.
He looked at the photos of the blood on the pipe above where Peter Johnson had been found. Lab reports said that the blood was indeed Mr. Johnson's, but curiously there were small plastic particles on the pipe. The blood splatter expert was convinced that Mr. Johnson had not actually hit his head on the pipe.
Santiago, the daytime doorman, had seen Mr. Johnson return home around 11:30 a.m. Mrs. Johnson had confirmed he had taken the day off from work and gone to a breakfast meeting.
Mr. Johnson had ridden the elevator up to his apartment alone. Santiago said he might have been upset. No one had seen him, or anyone else, come in or out of the Johnson apartment that day.
Tom, the neighbor, had been home and had not seen Mr. Johnson since the previous week. Though they were long overdue for a chat, he admitted that they hadn't been on the best of terms for the past few months. Tom had even started to regret agreeing to split the apartment between them. "It's silly to say that now. But I'm trying to be honest." he said.
Brown told him he "always appreciated honesty."
Tom had gone on to say that Mr. Johnson hadn't been getting along with his wife. They had been arguing a lot over their money situation. Mrs. Johnson loved to shop and, with two kids in college, they had been struggling financially.
The bank statements confirmed what Tom had said. The statements were certainly dreary. So dreary in fact that Brown started to wonder whether Mr. Johnson had actually offed himself.
Mr. Johnson had been found around 11 p.m. that night. Brown grimaced as he looked at the pictures of the body. The head wound was strange. Jagged and unplanned. Johnson had a large life insurance policy with his wife as the sole beneficiary. It was sad that his death actually solved all his problems.
Eddie, the doorman who had found the body, confirmed that he had seen Tom and Mr. Johnson arguing numerous times. He also confirmed that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had been a little cold with each other. That didn't necessarily mean anything. All one had to do was look at the previous Mrs. Browns to realize that a man who was obsessed with his work did not do much good for a marriage.
When Brown went to see the couple in 5B, the Boyfriend acted strangely. Brown supposed that he might have just gotten stoned. He was nervous to see a cop at his door. Brown gave him a hard time, but in actuality thought it was funny. The Boyfriend said that he had been home writing the day of the murder. At first he didn't remember anything but after a little pressing he said that he had heard a strange ticking noise...
It suddenly struck him.
Brown dialed his partner.
"Yeah," his partner answered.
"Get all of them to Mrs. Johnson's apartment."
"Who?" asked his partner.
"Mrs. Johnson, Eddie, Tom and that couple from 5B. I think I figured it out."
To be continued...

Escaped inmate identified; search continues
Old Brick Playhouse entertains Elkins Rotary
Elkins Rotary members not only experienced a skit by the Old Brick Playhouse Apprentices Monday, but also heard from owner Missy McCollam about the program. McCollam established the Old Brick Playhouse in 1992 in Elkins, where she wanted to return to and be with family.
The mission of the Old Brick Playhouse is to enrich the lives of children, youth and adults in West Virginia by engaging them in the arts, teaching self-expression and encouraging positive change. McCollam said the apprenticeship program began with 20 students who helped paint and clean.
"These apprentices are the backbone of the Old Brick Playhouse theater," McCollam said. "They bring fresh new ideas and give our theater a soul."
McCollam said the apprenticeship program attracts 80 to 90 participants each year, and one year, more than 100 students were in the program.
It offers after school education where the group works on a mainstage production as well as weekly 60-second seminars.
"The 60-second seminars may include topics like 'how to say no and not make people mad,' what to say in an interview, how to answer a phone and many other valuable bits of useful information,"
McCollam said. "The group serves as mentors for the elementary school program, helping them learn to read better and also a chance to work with the Polar Express. It provides them a chance to list a professional internship with Warner Brothers on their resumes."
The Old Brick Playhouse offers regular after-school programs that provide a safe and positive environment for elementary and secondary school students to explore the arts.
"One of the most positive statements by Warner Brothers when they rode the Polar Express was the atmosphere is like a real family," McCollam said.
The Polar Express not only served as an arts incubator for Old Brick Apprentice students and an employment opportunity to local actors, but also contributed to a boost in the area's economic tourism.

If your periodontal disease is severe, you might be advised to undergo a surgical procedure to thoroughly clean out bacteria that are too deep to be removed through scaling and root planing. You might also require surgery to restore tissue and bone that has been destroyed by periodontal disease.
Open Flap Surgery or Pocket Depth Reduction
This procedure involves cutting into the gum and revealing the bone and teeth underneath so the area can be carefully and completely cleaned. The disease-causing bacteria and any pieces of calculus are removed, and then the gum tissue is sewn securely back into place around the teeth.
Regenerative Procedures or Bone and Tissue Grafts
If you have severe tissue and bone destruction from periodontal disease, you might need another procedure after flap surgery called a graft. During a graft, your dentist or dental specialist may remove a bit of tissue or bone from another area of your body, and attach it to areas in your mouth that need new tissue or bone growth. Alternatively, there are two other sources of graft tissue. One is a material harvested from donors called an allograft, the other is a biosynthetic graft material. In addition to grafting procedures, a tiny bit of mesh material may be placed between your gum and bone. This technique prevents the new gum tissue from growing into the area where bone should be.

$FOXA just entered into a preliminary deal with Sky plc under which it will acquire all shares, or should I say remaining shares for a total value of $23 billion. The sleeping fox catches no poultry, but this fox just caught something that's a lot bigger than poultry.

Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: This is the worst shoe I have bought during my short tennis career. Like other's have stated, the bottom
of the shoe busted open and has started to kill my heels. I strayed away from my Babolat's for the first time and I so regret the
purchase. I was trying to save a little money, but I will fork out the bucks for a better made shoe.
From: Sandi, 4/13
Comments: Although I only buy K-Swiss shoes, these were the first pair that wore out within a month. As others
have stated, the soles wore out and tore and are actually dangerous. I play 4-5 times a week. These are not good shoes. Not
From: Laura, 1/13
Comments: I wish I had read the customer feedback before buying this K Swiss shoe. I purchased them in
June 2012, I play 1 or 2 times per week and my soles are shot. I am very disappointed in the quality.
From: Martha, 10/12
Comments: After a couple of months (3-5 hours per week) of play, the soles are shot. Usually, I get a year or two
out of my tennis shoes. I'm trying to get K-Swiss to replace them. Don't waste your money!
From: Jennifer, 8/12
Comments: One more report of soles wearing out prematurely. Amazingly after 6 wearings the outer sole was torn
and the tread from the forefoot was gone, leaving a smooth slippery surface. The shoe's lateral stability is good, the toe fit is
narrow, but the sole wear make then unsuitable for tennis. The company honorably replaced them with another model, though
reports seem to indicate that all K-Swiss soles wear out quickly.
From: Eric, 7/12
Comments: I have a very hard time finding comfortable shoes. These were pretty easy to
break in but after only a couple of months of playing 2-3 times per week, the soles are
shot. Hopefully the shoe store will take them back. I would not recommend these
From: Lissa, 7/12
Comments: I am disappointed in these shoes. After a mere two months, the sole has significant wear with some
shredding of material on the outside of the sole. I would not purchase this model again.
From: MJ, 1/12
Comments: I bought these and really liked the fit. They were comfortable right out of box
and required very little break-in time. The problem, though, was that after wearing them for
about 2 weeks (probably 6-8 times, total), the toe rubber started to peel away from the sole.
I do have some toe drag, but the wear on the Tubes was worse in 2 weeks than on either my
adidas Barricades or my Asics Gel Resolutions that I've had for several months!
I returned them.
From: Michelle, 11/11
Comments: I'm a diehard KSwiss Defier RS fan because of the great cushioning, stability, and classic look, but went
looking for something different (and a little less pink - come on, KSwiss, everybody complains about the one Defier RS color
option!). So I tried the KSwiss BigShots, KSwiss Tubes, and Lacoste Repel 2. Of the three, I really wanted to like the Lacoste
because I thought they looked good. They fit great but the soles were as hard as a rock. The BigShots had some cushioning, but
the toe box felt a little too roomy. So, even though the Tubes reminded me of a little kid shoe that would light up when I walked, I
tried them on. I was pleasantly surprised. They had good cushioning, good fit, and really didn't look that bad. I've worn them for
a few matches and am very happy with them. They are a little warmer than I expected, I don't think the mesh on the top helps
much, but no worse than the Defiers. I will definitely buy these again. great fit, decent cushioning, decent looks, good stability.

Unveiling iPhone 5
Posted by
on Sep 19th, 2012 |
0 comments
As we quickly approach the release of the iPhone 5, Let's take a look back at iPhone and it's humble beginnings. January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs unveils the first iPhone at a MacWorld conference. This original version started out at $499 for the 4Gb or $599 for the 8Gb. The 8Gb model put the iPod on a downward slope, as the phone could hold most of a person's music collection. June 9, 2008 saw the release of the iPhone 3G. This iPhone came equipped with a larger memory and a much cheaper price tag. $199 for an 8Gb model or $299 for a 16Gb model. It also went from using a 2G network to a 3G network and had a GPS. It's crowning glory??? The introduction of the almighty App Store, which was included in the iOS 2.0. Smartphones would never be the same again. The iPhone 3GS appeared on June 8, 2009 and came with even more memory than its predecessor a year earlier. Prices also stayed the same, $199 for the 16Gb and $299 for the 32Gb. The processor speed was upgraded as well as the camera, which essentially killed camcorders. iOS 3.0 added the ability to copy and paste, which was a welcome addition. The iPhone 4 was born on June 7, 2010, with another level of memory. Prices stayed the same for the 16Gb and 32Gb and the 64Gb debuted at $399. Up until now, AT&T had been the only carrier, so for years, the cellular traffic had been clogging up their towers and causing some problems with service. In 2011, Verizon was added to the carrier list,thus aiding AT&T in handling service "traffic jams". Siri…(insert query here). With the iPhone 4S, people got their very own personal assistant. Users could ask Siri whatever their hearts desired and get some type of response, even if Siri simply said that she didn't understand the question. Prices stayed the same for the 4S and even more carriers were added, T-Mobile was not one however.
So, here we are, a journey that began five years ago has led us to the release of the latest Apple smartphone, the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 will be thinner and lighter than the 4S, 18% thinner to be exact and weighing in at only 3.95 ounces. It also promises a better battery life and the retina display has grown to 4 inches, allowing for a fifth row of icons, meaning fewer home screens. The chip is faster, enabling web pages and music apps to load faster. The main camera will basically stay the same, but the secondary front camera can film 720p hi-def video. The calendar will show a five day week and more events and the iwork apps will benefit from the bigger screen size. The glass back has been replaced by a metal back as well, a relief to those that have a tendency to drop their phone on a regular basis. The iPhone 5 will run on 4G LTE networks and Face Time will also run on 3G networks. Prices for the new phone are the same as for the 4S, it all depends on memory capacity.
Although there have been changes over the years, the success of the iPhone stems from hardware design. However,Apple should be credited for the invention of the "app world". Siri…release date for the iPhone 5? September 21, 2012…who will be standing in line to grab the latest??

The Hawaii State Department of Health Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division released survey results Wednesday for illegal tobacco sales to minors.
It shows this year?s 6.1 percent rate in Hawaii falls below the 9.3 percent federal fiscal year 2010 national weighted average.
The annual survey is a joint effort between the State Department of Health and the University of Hawaii to determine the extent of illegal sales of tobacco products to minors.
In 1996, the state?s first survey results showed a noncompliance rate of 44.5 percent.
After the implementation of law enforcement operations, this rate steadily dropped and was maintained below 10 percent with the exception of 2008.
Over the past three years Hawai?i has been able to reduce and maintain a lower rate.
With stronger enforcement of tobacco laws being implemented, the aim is to eliminate teenage tobacco use.

- Abstract
- Australia's cities and their local governments, local economies, populations, built environments, housing markets, labour markets, and urban infrastructures need to undergo significant change in a relatively short period of time in the face of challenges that are linked to a set of powerful pressures that will exert new demands on Australian cities. This discussion paper examines several aspects of local area resilience and sustainability in the face of these key 21st century challenges. Its focus is on what the City of Frankston would need to look like by 2030 if it were to align with the COAG objectives for Australian cities---productive, competitive, liveable, environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive---and how it needs to engage with its local community to get buy-in to the future plans for the region which depart from 'business as usual'.

January 16, 2013 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — "Be Mine Forever," the fifth in a series of five exhibitions featuring photographs and poetry celebrating love, opens on Saturday, January 26 with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. at Alliance Gallery, 37 Main St.
The "Be Mine" series marries these two art forms to express the stages of romance, heartbreak, matrimony and lasting love. The poetry will be transformed and displayed as a "poem object," a physical rendition of the poem's central image or images.
Mary Greene of the Upper Delaware Writers Collective will curate the poetry selections and Alliance Gallery director Rocky Pinciotti will curate the photographs.
The exhibition will include presentations by photographers describing their images, poets reciting their poems and singer Sharon Paige performing torch songs accompanied by pianist Bob Lohr, all in the Gloria Krause recital hall. The exhibition will also include the popular magnetic poetry wall.
New this year will be an opening night romance photo wall where gallery goers can have their photos taken for a slide show that will be replayed on a monitor in the gallery for the full run of the exhibition.
"Be Mine" runs until Saturday, February 16. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.ArtsAllianceSite.org [1] or call 845/252-7576.

no gut taste, but maybe healthy
really works!
Posted by 4992735864030155608 on Aug 06, 2014
I have only been taking this maca powder for 2 weeks, but I noticed the effects immediatelly! I get a nice smooth natural feeling energy from this that lasts all day. I also feel very happy and always in a good mood when taking it. I have regular bowel movements (which is usually a problem for me), and I actually crave healthy food instead of junk food when taking maca, plus my appetite is reduced. The only negative effect (thus 4 star review) is that I do have trouble falling asleep at night when using this product, even though I only use it in the morning and only use 1/2 tsp per day. I am usually very sensitive to stimulants and have trouble falling asleep even if I don't take maca, but with maca it was even worse. I like the taste of it, it kind of tastes like horlicks. It is super tasty mixed with vanilla soy milk and coconut sugar. But I usually make it into a maca-matcha latte (using matcha green tea powder). This combo gives me the best effect, although the matcha might be contributing to the insomnia. It's funny how the same product can have totally different effects on different people. My husband can take 1 tablespoon and not feel much at all and not have any trouble sleeping. It's worth trying and seeing if your body agrees with it.

I've noticed that I'm either not getting a letdown every time I nurse or I can't feel it. Does the sensation go away over time? Sometimes I feel it very strongly! Most times though I don't feel it at all.
He's sucking and swallowing- but doesn't nurse for very long most times since he's a busy toddler. Is it anything I should worry about?

Green Saturday: Paramount's Festival of TreesBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | December 06,2013Cassandra Hotaling Hahn / Staff File photo
Some of the Christmas trees are lit inside the Paramount Theatre. The Paramount will host the 11th annual Festival of Trees benefit for the Paramount starting at 6 p.m. Saturday.Think of Saturdays event as a classier and much more fun version of Black Friday.
Saturday evening, the Paramount Theatre will host its 11th annual Festival of Trees. Beside being the Paramounts only fundraiser, its an opportunity to get excellent deals on local services and products, said Bruce Bouchard, executive director.
If I could give you a great list of items that you could get at 65 to 70 percent off, would you do it? Bouchard asked rhetorically.
And while, much like Black Friday, there will be competition among shoppers, Saturdays event will involve food, drinks and music instead of pushing and shoving and lining up at 4 a.m.
What began 11 years ago as an event in which people bid on decorated Christmas trees has blossomed into a cornucopia of 255 items and services that will be auctioned off in live and silent formats.
And there are some seriously big-ticket items up for auction, including:
A $10,000 gift certificate from Same Sun of Vermont toward the purchase of any solar energy system.
Four tickets to see the New England Patriots at home Dec. 29 when they play the Buffalo Bills, compliments of Shearer Honda.
A home or business security system with one year of service from the Royal Group.
With two cash bars, food from Roots the Restaurant and dessert from A Dozen Eggs Bake Shoppe of Mount Holly, revelers will find themselves in a festive mood as they look for just the right item for their loved ones or themselves.
Its a great way to kick off the holiday season, Bouchard said.
Its also an important event, financially speaking, for the Paramount, which draws 35 percent of its budget from contributions. The Festival of Trees represents 18 percent of the contributed income budget.
My favorite movie ever made is Its a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra, Bouchard said. I love its central mission of do, help, give. For such a tiny community, Rutland is extraordinarily generous.
Admission to the Festival of Trees is $10, and doors open at 5:30 p.m. For more information, including a catalog of the items up for auction, visit www.paramountvt.org.

Victor Group expands residential eco-fabrics
February 6, 2009-- Home Textiles Today,
Saint Georges, Quebec – A new collection of sustainable fabrics and a new grouping of intricately designed tapestries and luxury chenille velvets are key introductions by The Victor Group headed this month to the Toronto Fabric Fair.
The sustainable collection, trademarked eHome, is the latest eco-friendly grouping of fabrics from Victor Group's residential side, which also includes the Eco Intelligence brand of polyester fabrics for the contract furniture market that are certified "Cradle to Cradle Gold" by product and process design firm MBDC.
The Victor Atelier collection is an assortment of tapestries and chenille velvets in "complex weaves, unique yarn mixes, and modern color combinations," the company said. These are also designed for Victor Group's residential side.
Also set to debut are the World@Home and Terrazzo fabric brands.
The outdoors-ready Terrazzo is made with solution-dyed fiber technology to withstand weather conditions. The collection employs a broad palette and elegant designs interpreted on novelty yarns.
World@Home represents a new value product and is priced competitively. Looks span traditional, transitional and contemporary in a mix of chenilles, boucles and novelty yarns.
The company's roots are as a supplier to the contract market. "We are relatively new to the residential market," said Paul Bennotti, director of marketing, adding that side of the business has been "well received."
Founded in 1947, family-owned-and-operated Victor Group is a textile company that since 1980 specializes in environmentally sustainable fabrics designed for the contract, residential, outdoor and apparel and specialty markets. It operates mills in several Canadian and U.S. locations, service-and-warehouse facilities in Grand Rapids, Mich., and Fall River, Mass., and design studios in New York City and Fall River.
The Toronto Fabric Fair is set for Feb. 23-26 at the Paradise Convention Centre in Concord, Ontario.

Close and dear
Warming blue oceans
Warming the brown earth
Catalyst in primordial ooze
Life affirming warmth and light
Crawling orange across the earth
Scattering darkness chasing shadows
Climbing high and round in golden glory
Climbing high and round in glorious warmth
Coaxing green shoots to reach ever skyward
Dancing on wave and ripple and slick pond tops
Casting shadows beneath trees and over meadows
Only to slip again and begin sliding down and westward
To disappear orange with cold black night nipping your heels
No one knows when or how or why this marvelous race began
No one knows when or how or why this marvelous race will end
But we know tomorrow this shining star will speed across the sky
Day will be the shortest day and the night the longest one weŌĆÖll see
Winter solstice
WinterŌĆÖs night
Cold lingering
WinterŌĆÖs night
It doesnŌĆÖt last
Close and dear
A star appears
Tomorrow is the winter solstice, below is part of an article I wrote for the Dec. 20. 2000, issue of Smoky Mountain News. Enjoy and have a happy solstice.
For ancient peoples living in northern latitudes winter was a very trying time. The sun stayed low in the sky and disappeared quickly, days grew shorter and nights grew longer and temperatures fell. They had to live on stored provisions or what animals they might kill. Some feared the sun would disappear completely leaving the world in cold darkness.
After time the people would notice the sun once again growing higher in the sky and the days becoming longer. This was cause for great celebration. All aboriginal peoples in the northern latitudes celebrated the winter solstice. It was the rebirth of the sun, the rekindling of the fire of life.
Ancient Greeks celebrated ŌĆ£LenaedŌĆØ while Romans celebrated ŌĆ£Saturnalia.ŌĆØ The Hopi Indians have a 20-day celebration called ŌĆ£SoyalŌĆØ during which they give aid and direction to the sun as it returns and gives strength to budding life.
Although aboriginal people had no elaborate instruments to measure the solstice, there are stone structures and monuments all around the world that appear to be tied to the solstice. Some of the oldest are in Ireland and Scotland.
In County Meath, in eastern Ireland, is a cairn that dates back to 3,300 BC. It covers nearly an acre and has a passageway 60 feet long. Above the entranceway is a small stone window. At sunrise on the winter solstice ŌĆö and at no other time ŌĆö sunlight penetrates all the way back to the back wall of the cairn.
In Orkneys, Scotland, there is another ancient cairn, Maes Howe, which dates back to 2,500 BC. This cairn is also designed to let sunlight in on the winter solstice. This structure was known to have contained treasures. A runic inscription probably carved in the 12th century AD by raiding Vikings reads, in part, ŌĆ£A long time ago was a great treasure hidden here. Lucky will be he who can find the great fortune. Hakon single-handed bore treasure from this howe.ŌĆØ
In Vermont, there is a natural amphitheater about 20 acres in size. It was named ŌĆ£Calendar OneŌĆØ by its discoverer. There is a stone enclosure in the center. From this enclosure, one can see a number of vertical rocks and other natural features, which create the rim of the amphitheater. During the winter and summer solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes, the sun rises and sets on certain peaks and notches in the rim.
The exact significance of these cairns and other monuments will, probably, never be known. There is little doubt that they were, and still are, recording and acknowledging the solstice. It cannot go unnoticed.

The Future Is Our Priority . . . Lyndon Academy is a northwest Atlanta area private school that strives to help each child build successful leadership qualities in a child-focused caring community of learners. More »
Many families are drawn to private school education because of small class sizes. While that is a benefit, Lyndon Academy offers an environment where students excel in academics, flourish in the arts and receive an education that prepares them in a unique way for a successful college career.
At this private school, our lower school students consistently score at the 90th percentile or better in math and reading batteries on standardized exams. Concurrently, nearly 70 percent annually of the fourth through eighth-grade students are eligible for Duke TIP (Talent Identification Program), and last year students who have attended Lyndon for eight years or better achieved scores on the PSAT at the 92nd percentile in the nation on average.
While students learn in a STEM-enriched program with an advanced college preparatory curriculum, Lyndon Academy goes beyond the norm. All students begin learning foreign languages daily in kindergarten. Spanish is taught to all grades, while students also begin learning Mandarin Chinese when they enter first grade. At Lyndon, foreign language acquisition is valued because multilingualism has been proven to help children develop superior reading and writing skills, and have more advanced analytical, social, and academic skills than their monolingual peers.

Two issues predominated at the June 10 Honesdale Borough Council meeting: swimming pools and fire safety. The former promised welcome relief from summer heat; the latter promised heated debate. In president F.J. Monaghan's absence, vice president James Brennan chaired the meeting. All other councilpersons were present.
Swimming pools first became a topic of interest during the citizen input segment of the meeting, with a request for a variance of the borough ordinance requiring that residential swimming pools be located in backyards only. A resident of the hill district claimed that his backyard did not contain sufficient level ground to permit set-up of a small above-ground pool four feet in depth. The resident noted that the $750 variance fee was prohibitive for his family, and that he was therefore requesting waiver of the fee. In the discussion that followed, the council acknowledged that the fee was probably unrealistically large for installation of a temporary and/or seasonal residential structure. The resident indicated that he would drain and remove the pool in September.
The council questioned whether the variance was actually necessary, as the ordinance specifically designated its use for permanent structures only. However, the resident informed the council that he had been denied a pool installation permit because he lacked a variance, adding that other residents of the hill district had circumvented the backyard pool ordinance simply by failing to apply for a pool installation permit. He also informed the council that pool installation permits are currently required for all pools more than two feet in depth, whether temporary or permanent. Surprised by this information, the council agreed to re-examine residential pool installation ordinances with the Planning, Zoning, Building and Code Enforcement Board, to find a workable solution for this resident and others like him.
Swimming pools continued to generate discussion, as Parks and Recreation chair Michael Slish reported that the borough pool will open on Monday, June 17, and that there will be a free swim day on Sunday, June 23. At the same time, he conscripted fellow council members to serve food (free of charge) to all in attendance at the free swim day, which prompted Brennan to observe that last year's celebration proved the children in attendance to be well mannered and appreciative of the borough's efforts on their behalf.
Immediately before council went into executive session, deputy fire chief Brian Dulay questioned the council about the disposition of the draft Knox Box ordinance. When informed by councilman Harry DeVrieze that it was in limbo because Main Street merchants' reaction to the draft ordinance had been overwhelmingly negative, Dulay asserted that, by placing political expediency above the best interests of public safety, the council was failing its constituents. DeVrieze countered that, in democratic government, the will of the people is paramount.
A resolution to the stand-off seemed viable when Dulay informed the council that the wording of the draft ordinance had been vague and inadequate for the purposes of Honesdale fire safety. He proposed that fire officials work with the council and borough officials to revise the draft ordinance to more accurately reflect borough needs.

When I was 17 all I wanted to do was pull on a Town shirt ..now they want a Wigan or Bradford shirt.
CARLA teams can mix it with the best its a crying shame that all the talent developed by these small village clubs are moving out of the county.
I reply to you with the utmost respect re: your playing experience and ability.
Can I ask you about the Cumbria elite youngsters??
Like all team sports there are great "young kids" but only a few make it.
If Cumbria produced great kids, the majority will still come back from SL clubs. If they come back to a skint and depressed Town and Haven will they be interested for a few quid boot money??
If they come back to a Cumbria RL side that is vibrant will that give them a second stab at SL if they do well, or give them the very next best to SL?? I think it would, why not you??
At our local soccer club they love the pro-sides taking the best kids because 99% come back as better players.

With the first round of stereo 3D-capable TVs now reaching retail floors and plans for the top TV manufacturers to bring more products to market soon, market tracking firm DisplaySearch has increased its 2010 forecast for stereo-3D-capable TV shipments to 2.5 million units (from 1.2 million). Besides, DisplaySearch forecasts 27 million stereo-3D HDTV-sets to be shipped in 2013.
The video processing and extra display performance required for stereoscopic 3D remain relatively costly compared to entry-level models. As a result, stereo-3D is constrained by the penetration of double or quadruple frame rate sets in the market. While 3D is forecast to show rapid growth, DisplaySearch research indicates that only 27% of 40" or larger sets shipped in 2013 will be 3D-capable. Furthermore, Blu-ray disc and HD broadcast have low penetration in Western Europe, and as a result there remains a content gap that needs to be filled before 3D can flourish.
"In 2009, we saw the first 3D-capable TVs, with the market greatly accelerating at CES 2010. Now we are seeing the hype turning into real products. The key issue will be how consumers react to the initial product launch, and what the industry will learn from the feedback of early adopters. Complications in the TV supply chain – especially 3D content shortages – remain the biggest hurdles to overcome," said Paul Gray, director of TV electronics research at DisplaySearch.
The 3D-capable TV market will be dominated in its early years by developed regions, with North American shipments accounting for more than half of shipments in 2010.
"3D makes the most sense with the largest screen sizes, combined with a more developed Blu-ray disc market and 3D broadcast services. For this reason, we expect North America to be the most favorable region for initial 3D development," added Mr. Gray.
It is interesting to note that although there are large LCD televisions nowadays, more expensive plasma display panels are projected to lead the stereo 3D-capable HDTV penetration.

How do I know if my color contacts are inside out?
So you just bought some brand-sparkling-new color contacts and are ready to put them in but you are wondering how to tell if your color contacts are inside out or right side out. Don't worry, Color My Eyes is here to the rescue! There are a few very easy ways to tell which way is which on colored contacts. It can be tricky at first to tell which is the front and which is the back of a colored contact lens but the more you wear your lenses the easier it will get for you to tell. Putting a contact lens on inside out won't harm your eyes, but it will feel uncomfortable. If you do put your color contacts in inside out they will most likely feel irritating and might even pop out of your eyes because they are not fitting snugly.
Before Putting In Or Handling Your Color Contacts
You should immediately get into the habit of handling and cleaning your lenses properly. Careful handling of your lenses and proper cleaning and sanitizing will not only keep your eyes safe and healthy, but will also extend the life of your lenses. Begin by washing your hands with a non-cream-based soap and drying with a lint-free towel. If you always follow this golden rule of contact lens care you are well on your way to being a color contact pro!

How to tell the front and back of a soft contact lens
After washing your hands, carefully scoop one of your colored lenses out of the storage case and place it cup side up on your index finger, as if you were going to put it into your eye. There are multiple ways to tell if your color contacts are inside out, but these are our two favorite ways of telling if color contacts are inside out or not.
1. Is My Contact Lens Inside Out - The Side View
Look closely at the lens, holding your finger up in front of your eyes so you are looking at the side of the lens, not down into the lens. If the lens looks like a cup with perfectly upright edges, half of a ball, or a "U" shape, it is right side out. However, if the edges flair out and look like a bowl with a rim or are a fluted shape, your color contacts are inside out.
2. Is My Contact Lens Inside Out - The Taco Test
Hold your contact lens, cup side up, carefully between your index finger and your thumb. Gently squeeze the lens from the center, so the edges are free and the lens starts to fold in half. If the lens looks like a hard taco, with the edges pointing straight up, it is right side out. If the edges flair out towards your fingers the lens is inside out.
If your color contacts are inside out don't worry, just gently flip them! Soft contact lenses are very pliable and can easily flip inside out by them self in the bottle. Always be careful and gentle with your lenses, they will flip back and forth easily but they can also tear if nicked with a fingernail or if squeezed too hard.
We hope this helps all our new color contact lens wearers and any seasoned lens wearers that wanted to learn a new trick or two! Let us know in the comments below if you have any other tips or tricks for telling when your color contacts are inside out.

Watching countdown on TV
& again Chad got all the credit for the call to stay on pitroad when Jimmie wrecked. When it was Ron Malec that made that call. yes the 48 is one of the best teams in nascar, but it is more than just Jimmie & Chad, but if you listen to the media it is all them. Annoys me sometimes.
