Official, right? Very strong team, unlike last year. Russia can aim for the gold this time, I think.
Bolded skaters are the oens to get to see live for my husband and me for the first time.

DON'T MISS: "Sherlock" -- OK, it's not so "Elementary," but fans of the popular drama have waited almost two years to find out how their favorite brainy sleuth (Benedict Cumberbatch) survived in the closing moments of Season 2's finale after it appeared that he fell to his death. In the first of three 90-minute episodes, the saga picks up two years after Sherlock's leap off the roof of St. Bart's Hospital and nothing seems to be the same, especially his relationship with Watson (Martin Freeman). 10 p.m. Sunday, PBS.
SUNDAY: Season 2 of "The Following" begins with -- what else? -- another bloody killing spree. Will Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) ever be able to find a sense of peace? 7:30 p.m., Fox.
SUNDAY: And you thought all reality TV dating shows ended in tears and tabloid-fueld acrimony. Nope. "The Bachelor: Bachelor Love Stories" is a where-are-they-now special that catches up with some of the successful relationships the franchise has spawned. 8 p.m., ABC.
MONDAY: A lot of fans completely lost their heads over the breakout hit, "Sleepy Hollow." Alas, Season 1 comes to an end tonight with a two-hour finale and we're betting that something weird and scary will happen. 8 p.m., Fox.
TUESDAY: "American Masters: Salinger" recalls the life of J.D. Salinger, the enigmatic author who stepped away from the spotlight following the success of "The Catcher in the Rye." This version of Shane Salerno's film contains 15 minutes of material not seen in theaters. 9 p.m., PBS.
TUESDAY: Reality TV gets even weirder with "Opposite Worlds." It's a competition in which opposing teams live in a house separated into two distinctly different worlds: one past and one future, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 10 p.m., Syfy.
WEDNESDAY: In the hilarious new comedy, "Broad City," Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer play BFFs navigating their 20s in New York City and making a mess of things. Amy Poehler is an executive producer. 10:30 p.m., Comedy Central.
THURSDAY: Greg Kinnear makes his TV series debut in the drama, "Rake." He plays a brilliant criminal defense attorney, whose self-destructive ways often affect his job. In other words, a legal-series version of "House." 9 p.m., Fox.
FRIDAY: Who said board games aren't dangerous and messy? On "Bones," the team delves into the world of professional chess after a champion's body is found in pig slop. 8 p.m., Fox.
SATURDAY: The new drama, "Black Sails," attempts to shiver our timbers by whisking us back to the golden age of piracy. It opens with Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) trying to fend off a mutiny by his motley crew. 9 p.m., Starz.
SATURDAY: Christina Ricci has an ax to grind in the new TV film, "Lizzie Borden." It's the true story of the sensational 1892 whack job that lives on in infamy (and nursery rhymes). 8 p.m., Lifetime.

I posted this in the Mets forum, with limited interest. Perhaps this is the correct forum for it. Well, either that or it's just not that interesting I guess.
I am a huge Mets fan/memorabilia collector. The 1962 Mets have become the team I have focused most of my attention on, for several reasons.
For one, I have always been very into '1st's'. The 1st game/season for a franchise. The 1st game in a new stadium. Etc. The fact that the Mets are only 50 years old, and let's face it, have had their share of issues during that time make acquiring vintage stuff from the '62 team ideal. There really is not that much out there to get you distracted and/or off theme, for the most part much of the stuff that is out there is not nearly as expensive as say, vintage Yankees stuff, plus there are just way fewer competitors vying for the top stuff like there are for the Yankees stuff in general.
It was roughly 10 years ago my dad and I started really focusing on the 1962 Mets team. Scouring the internet. Constantly checking eBay for stuff. Going to shows. You name it. Again, being that the market is relatively small, once you become known as a 'serious collector', people actually start seeking you out if they feel they have something you may want.
About 2 years ago I had a 'Eurika!' moment when I was looking through the pieces we have amassed. I realized almost everything we had was flat, and moreso, frameable. Immediatley I had a vision. I/we decided we were going to create the single greatest framed 1962 Mets piece in existance. Over the following year or so I made absolutley sure we had every imaginable artifact that you could concievably fit into a normal size frame pertaining to the 1962 Mets. We even went to visit Andy Fogel, who is the King of Mets Memorabilia to see his collection, and pick up a few of the last things we needed. (Here is a link to his NYT write up from a few years ago if it's never been posted here before. Honestly, it doesn't even do his collection justice. It is absolutley insane. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/sp...l/24cheer.html)
Anyway, after roughly a decade amassing everything, planning, and finalizing everything, here is the final piece as it hangs on my fathers wall. It is easily my favorite non-living thing on the planet. I am incredibly proud of how it all came out, and the fact that I, in some manner, have helped protect the history of my favorite team. I also have a 3 ring 'Provenance Book' which contains all the COA's, receipts, prices paid, and any other documentation we have in general.
As a sidenote, I sent these pics to the team itself hoping that maybe they would be able to put it on display in the teams HOF this season. After a lot of discussion I was informed that they very much would love to have it, but it is just too big to fit. They have however invited my family and myself to take it to Citi Field one day this season to go on the field with it pregame and take pictures, which they did not have to do, and which I am really excited and looking forward to doing.
Going from the clockwise from the top left here is what is contained:
-1962 Mets Yearbook
-1962 Mets Team Photo, which was sold at the Polo Grounds
-1962 Mets Media Guide
-1962 Mets Pocket Schedule
-1962 Mets Scorecard from game at Polo Grounds
-1962 Mets Tri-Fold Roster
-28 signatures on letterhead from the Cincinnati Hilton, including Stengel, Ruffing, Ashburn, and Linsday Nelson, authenticated by PSA/DNA.
-Vintage, 1st generation, 'in action' photo of 1962 Mets.
-Full, uncut, 'regular' ticket to the teams 1st Opening Day on 4/13/62, PSA authenticated
-2, full, uncut consecutive 'season tickets' also to the teams 1st Opening Day on 4/13/62, also PSA authenticated. The only ones ever to be authenticated by them, according to their population report.
-In the middle is the scorecard from the 1st game in the history of the franchise on 4/11/62 in St Louis.

Pertussis Outbreak in Deschutes County
DATE: September 20, 2013 MEDIA CONTACT: Tom Kuhn, (541) 322-7410
Pertussis Outbreak in Bend, Oregon
Deschutes County Health Services is reporting a small, three-person outbreak of Pertussis (whooping cough) in school age children. County and state public health officials recommend that individuals, aged two months and older, should be brought up to date on their Pertussis-containing vaccine to protect themselves and those around them from whooping cough. There are vaccines available for infants and children (DTaP) and for older children, teens and adults (Tdap).
Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacteria, Bordetella Pertussis. Pertussis is particularly dangerous, even fatal, for infants because of their small airways. Pertussis begins with a runny nose, sneezing, low-grade fever and mild cough. Over the next one to two weeks, the cough gradually becomes more severe, progressing into the second stage of the disease. The second stage of the illness is characterized by coughing spasms that end with a gasp or whoop as the person tries to get air. The fits of coughing can be prolonged and severe, often resulting in vomiting. This stage of the illness may persist for up to 10 weeks.
For adults and older children, whooping cough is a lingering annoyance that can last for months; for infants, it can be deadly. Last year, there were 906 cases of Pertussis in Oregon, including 26 infants who had to be hospitalized.
It is important for everyone, both children and adults, to be vaccinated against pertussis to lessen the chance of spreading this disease to infants who are too young to be fully immunized. If the adults and older children surrounding a newborn have been immunized, it helps protect the infant from the disease.
The Pertussis vaccination is the best defense against outbreaks of the disease. The disease has less chance of spreading if more people are vaccinated. Pertussis immunity from vaccination may decrease over time, so it's important that new mothers, fathers, grandparents and siblings receive another pertussis vaccination to protect their baby from whooping cough. Pregnant women are now advised to receive a Pertussis-containing vaccine (Tdap) with every pregnancy. It is advised that even adolescents and adults who don't typically come in contact with small children, should be vaccinated to protect themselves and the community. Since DTaP and Tdap vaccines provide immunity to tetanus and diphtheria, the pertussis vaccination also gives needed protection against those diseases.
For more information about pertussis, visit http://1.usa.gov/PertussisOregon. To obtain a pertussis vaccination, call your health care provider or pharmacy.

Without further ado, here is this weeks 1-17 mock draft scenario:
1. Carolina Panthers: Blaine Gabbert QB
2. Denver Broncos: Patrick Peterson CB
3. Buffalo Bills: Cam Newton QB
4. Cincinnati Bengals: Nick Fairley DT
5. Arizona Cardinals: Da'Quan Bowers DE
6. Cleveland Browns: Von Miller OLB
7. San Francisco 49ers: Marcell Dareus: DT
8. Tennessee Titans: JJ Watt DE
9. Dallas Cowboys: Nate Solder OT
10. Washington Redskins: AJ Green WR
11. Houston Texans: Prince Amukamara CB
12. Minnesota Vikings: Cameron Jordan DE
13. Detroit Lions: Brandon Harris: CB
14. St Louis Rams: Julio Jones WR
15. Miami Dolphins: Mark Ingram RB
16. Jacksonville Jaguars: Adrian Clayborn DE
17. New England Patriots: Anthony Castonzo OT
18. San Diego Chargers: ???
I chose to base this week's draft scenario on the mock draft put together by Sports News Southwest primarily because of the number of great options (in my opinion) that it provides for the Chargers. In this scenario, only four defensive ends were picked ahead of the Chargers, leaving DE's like Ryan Kerrigan, Akeem Ayers, Robert Quinn, Cameron Heyward, and Muhammad Wilkerson available, as well as linebacker Aldon Smith, and offensive tackles Tyson Smith and Gabe Carimi.
This scenario poses a number of intriguing possibilities for the Bolts. If the Chargers decide to fill one of their most obvious needs, defensive end, they have some great choices. If, instead, depth at outside linebacker is the primary concern, then Aldon Smith or even Ayers would be strong picks. And there is still good depth at offensive tackle if AJ decides to move in that direction instead.
An even better scenario in this situation could be a move back in the first round. Because of the number of strong players available at specific "need" positions for the Chargers, they could theoretically move back in the first round and still get a player who can be an immediate upgradeon offense or defense, while adding additional picks in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. For instance, with three cornerbacks already selected in this scenario, a team who needs to solidify their secondary, like the Eagles, Ravens, or Steelers, could try to leap-frog another contender for available cornerbacks like Jimmy Smith or Brandon Harris. The same could be said for teams in need of offensive line help, like the Colts or Bears. And you can't forget about the 6-8 teams who need serious help at quarterback.
It is fun to speculate about trades, but ultimately the Bolts need a solid pick at #18. In this scenario, I would have to select DE Ryan Kerrigan. I would tempted to take Quinn here, but Kerrigan better fits the 3-4 scheme as a solid run defender with the ability to get into the backfield.
Now it's your turn to be the GM. Using this week's draft scenario, who would you select at #18 for the San Diego Chargers, and why? After giving us your pick, feel free to include a potential trade of the 18th pick for other readers to grade.

Manitou Springs businesses prep for heightened flood risk
The Waldo Canyon Fire has created an environment that is prone to flash floods and mudslides. Due to location and proximity to Fountain Creek, Manitou Springs is an area that many are concerned about.
"After a fire, the second disaster is flood because you have that barren area. So business owners who weren't at risk for flooding before this may be at higher risk now. So you absolutely want to consider a separate business flood insurance policy," said Carole Walker, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.
Kelly Myers, owner of Good Karma Coffee Lounge & Deli in Manitou Springs, said she recently purchased flood insurance after finding out she was not covered.
"I thought that when we bought the insurance for this business that we had flood insurance. I thought, I better double-check with my agents and we didn't have flood insurance," said Myers.
Myers said along with the insurance, her shop has also placed sandbags in areas that could become flooded. Fountain Creek runs beneath the kitchen of Good Karma.
"We knew there was a danger of flooding, but that didn't stop us from doing what we wanted to do," said Myers.
Myers said opening the shop during the "slow season" in Manitou Springs has been difficult, and she said if a flood did occur it would be devastating and a major financial burden.
Walker told KRDO Newschannel 13 that while flood insurance is recommended for all businesses affected by the Waldo Canyon burn scar, business owners need to know what the insurance does not cover.
For example, flood insurance will not cover the revenue the business would lose if closed due to a flood.
"Unfortunately, when it comes to flood insurance, there is a lot of confusion and lack of understanding about what it covers," said Walker.

War zone injuries
UTSA biology researchers demystify war zone bacterium
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(Aug. 19, 2009)--Tao Weitao, a researcher in the Department of Biology of the UTSA College of Sciences, is making great strides in a project funded a year ago by the San Antonio Area Foundation. The professor in the South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases is researching Acinetobacter baumannii, a soil-dwelling bacterium that threatens the health of military personnel in the Middle East and also can infect their family members once the soldiers have returned home following battle.
The symptoms of Acinetobacter infections are mild to severe and present in a variety of ways, but are mostly found in immunocompromised individuals. Signs may include post-surgery urinary tract infections and respiratory infections, pneumonia following health-care treatment, bacteria in the blood, deep wound infections, bone and bone marrow infections, or skin and soft-tissue infection.
A year ago, little was known about A. baumannii. Treatment of infected individuals was exceedingly difficult, because the bacterium was able to develop multi-drug resistance. Treatment also was impaired by the bacterium's ability to form biofilms, highly resistant communities of bacteria, which are a breeding ground for microorganisms that infect people.
In the last year, however, Weitao's collaborative research team has isolated proteins they believe help the bacterium form its biofilm. As the biologists continue research, they hope to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which each protein helps A. baumannii propagate its deadly infections. Such an understanding will help develop effective therapeutic strategies to disrupt biofilm formation and diminish the risk of antimicrobial resistance emergence.
The San Antonio Area Foundation awarded funding to Weitao, in part, because San Antonio has such strong ties to the military.
"San Antonio has a proud history as a military city," said retired Air Force Col. Clarence R. "Reggie" Williams, president and CEO of the San Antonio Area Foundation. "The San Antonio Area Foundation is equally proud to partner with area donors in funding new medical research efforts impacting our military personnel and their families. Through innovative research and advancement, The University of Texas at San Antonio has successfully addressed many of the military community's most challenging health care needs. We're proud to support their efforts to 'make better lives' for everyone."
"Acinetobacter baumannii is an extremely threatening microbe that researchers desperately need to better understand," said Weitao. "Ultimately, we hope our research leads us to pathways we can target for the development of therapeutic or preventative strategies, that is effective antibiotics or vaccines, to keep the infection rate low."------------------------------
About the San Antonio Area Foundation

A publicly supported philanthropic institution, SAAF is governed by a board of private citizens chosen for their knowledge of and involvement in the community.

My skin didn't tolerate this foundation very well, as it clogged my pores. The colour was also a little darker than I expected (I usually need a foundation in between fair and medium), and it was difficult to get it to apply evenly and blend well, even with a foundation brush.

This is realy sticky!! The color matched my skin perfectly, but it is so sticky - even after drying for a couple of hours... Maybe good for realy dry skin, but no good for my combinatin skin!
Great and natural

Since it's aloe vera based, texture is quite unusual and you have to get used to putting it on. But it's a great foundation - non-toxic, and I really love the SPF.

Love the Ecco Bella face powder and mascara, but unfortunately, this was a great disappointment. The container is extremely small and the foundation welled up in my poors while putting it on. I had to really work with it before it dried to get it to blend and it felt heavy and a bit greasy. But thanks to iHerb for such great service!
more than satisfying

2005 GTA Retrospective
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 10:10 PM MDT | By rappo
The Grand Theft Auto Retrospective is a nice little article published by UGO.com Games that goes over the history of the GTA series.
Come take a trip through time, and see how a franchise went from a cult hit to a cultural phenomenon, set the tone for an entire generation, and made open-ended gameplay a buzzword of the early 21st century. It's a long, bumpy ride, but at the end, Grand Theft Auto stands tall as the game that changed everything.
The article discusses everything from the topdown GTAs to Liberty City Stories (including a review of the game). It does a pretty good job at compiling information about and screenshots of the games in the series, and that's why I thought it was worth a read.

Next time you're researching Sangiovese, please consider Villa Ragazzi's - the first Sangiovese planted in Napa Valley (1985) to a low vigor/low producing clone. www.villaragazziwine.com
As an added plus, the estate vines are also organic...And the estate Cab wine got rave reviews from Wine & Spirits! I think the Cab is GORGEOUS. Restrained, lovely.
One of my absolute favorites in Sonoma County! The Chardonnay opened me up to so much, the Grist Zin has become my guilty pleasure, and the Neighbors Pinot Noir is to die for. Highly recommend a visit to this place. Bring a picnic and sit at their outdoor tables or adirondacks, and play some bocce!
I find restaurants with Coravin offerings have saved me from drinking either poorly chosen wines by the glass offerings or the aforementioned poorly stored and cared for wines by the glass.
Wow, thanks so much. What a surprise! I walked out of the tasting room to the stack of North Bay Bohemian to see a story on wine blending. I was so surprised to see it was about Ravenswood, I can't thank you enough!
Very good James!
When describing the French who live long in spite of eating rich foods and drinking wine, why does no one mention that most is consumed with food? That's the way it was in my family, whose emigration from France was very long ago. We had a few uncles who sipped wine at other times. They did this in their cellars to avoid the frowns of their wives. But "le diner" and "apres diner" were when most people imbibed.
Damn good and they have it at Whiskey Tip in Santa Rosa, CA! Best Cocktails in town.
thanks for writing about the upcoming Bay Area grand tasting, sorry you didn't like these two samples. (One isn't a member at this time.)
The Grand Tasting will feature over 100 wineries, pouring over 500 American Rhone wines, so something for everyone, I encourage all to come try! Many of the producers are very small, and from all regions and a number of states.
Sunday April 6th, prior to the Grand Tasting are two seminars, and Saturday evening, April 5th is the Winemakers Dinner at the Generals Residence.

Incredible wines and a wonderful winemaker. The 2010 Cuvee Alis is heaven in a bottle.
You won't find better made wines ANYWHERE!!!! Richard is a wine GOD and he is an amazing person as well! As they said to Mikey 'try it you'll like it!' And in this case you will most likely LOVE it!
One of the best wines you will find...make an appointment as they are friendly and fun...Oh yeah, they make amazing reds!
Thanks for this article. I look forward to Tofurky every year! There are other delicious plant-based roasts as well including Gardin Savory Stuffed Turk'y, Gardin Holiday Roast and Trader Joe's Turkey-less Stuffed Roast with Gravy. Thanks for the great ideas for pairing vino with vegan!
What did he teach in elementary school? Probably viticulture, right? Making wine is more fun, I bet. Plus, he probably gets fewer colds.
How did he get hurt? Did he let you walk with his crutches? Was it fun?
Alison makes some killer wines, and I'd recommend anyone who enjoys Pinot Noir to try her Carneros or Rodgers Creek offerings. At $19/29 respectively, they're both a great deal and display some great flavors.
"but he comes out during harvest to tool around on a tractor and catch the Calistoga Speedway's"
Neat, upon what property is running a tractor?
Is he a part-time owner operator of a modest vineyard?
Are they making money from working for his father, twice?
Or does he has ownership of this business in Calistoga.
And is it solvent?
Beautiful Calistoga building with natural light and space on the corner.
I have been to Ram's Gate at least once every few months since they opened. Really spectacular winery, with great ambiance. Unlike some others that serve small plates, their food is prepared by an in house chef and far surpasses the usual crackers and nibbles you might get. You'd expect this place to be stuffy/snobby, but there's none of that. http://www.ramsgatewinery.com
What a load of BS.
People that opposed the tasting room project won't soon forget the Schwartz's veiled threats of "turning people in for illegal structures" because of their opposition- nor the pompous blight that initiated it.
So please, drink Fort Ross wine... and be sure to toast all the little people that the Schwartz family stepped on to get there. South Africa may be the capital of blood-diamonds... and Fort-Ross is now the capital of bad-blood wine. Enjoy!
Hi James,
I do enjoy the spry wit of your writing style. I laughed so much when I read the article on the "lavishly spartan" Fort Ross Tasting Room. Lester is still disputing which one of us reminded you of a Berkeley Social Studies Professor... Besides the polished prose, I did appreciate your gracious comments about our wine. Do let me have your email address. Both of us were card-less when we met. I hope that you will come back to visit us when you are in the area.
Best wishes,

|Leandro Barbosa: Helping this Celtics team 'all that matters to me'
|11.15.12 at 10:50 am ET
The marriage of Leandro Barbosa and the Celtics seems to be a perfect one.
Once again Wednesday night, Barbosa was just what Boston needed to overcome the loss of Rajon Rondo to a sprained right ankle.
"Just play the game, go with the flow," Barbosa said of his mission after scoring 16 points in 23 minutes of a 98-93 win over the Jazz. "Bring a lot of energy. Make sure that I give [guys rest], especially Paul [Pierce] and [Kevin Garnett]. We are in the flow, now three games, and I just want to keep it going."
Barbosa was signed on Oct. 18, not exactly sure how much time he would get on the floor. But the 29-year-old said he was a very happy to get another chance in the NBA after stints with the Suns, Raptors and Pacers.
"First of all, I'm happy to be here. Boston Celtics is a great team," he said. "Great guys, great organization. I'm very happy to be here. When I got the call, it was a great surprise for me. Now that I'm here, I want to make sure I can help the guys out."
One thing you won't hear Barbosa do is whine about playing time. His 23 minutes on Wednesday were a season high after he averaged just over 12 in the first seven games.
"Some days I won't have a lot of minutes, and I knew that when they called me, but just being here and being here and try to help them get better on the court is all that matters to me," he said.
'He's earned it," Doc Rivers said of Barbosa's increased role, with or without a healthy Rondo. "I tell everybody, 'Listen, we sign you, and you come, and there's no guarantees that you're going to play. But if you earn it, you get to play.' And he's earned it. He deserves to play.'
Rivers has simplified things for Barbosa, asking him not to run complex sets simply because he doesn't have the experience yet in the system. He is running more transition offense and pick-and-rolls, fairly standard stuff in the NBA.
"Obviously, Rondo goes out in the second half and just putting LB in and we didn't run much because he doesn't know much," Rivers said. "But everything was basically pick-and-rolls. We told him to just keep attacking to the basket and we'll figure it out from there.'
Admitted Barbosa: "For me, it's much easier. I feel a lot more comfortable playing that way. But I feel comfortable, too, with the plays. The coaches have been very [helpful] coaching me on the side. I'm almost there."
The reason Rivers is relying more on Barbosa is his veteran savvy on the court — like when two Jazz players doubled Garnett in the third quarter. Barbosa saw his man leave for KG and immediately went to the basket for an easy layup.
"I just saw that he was doubled," Barbosa said. "My man went to double him so I just decided to come back and give some help, and it worked out."

I've been asked to take some feral bees out of an old Western Red Cedar. This tree will be cut down either before or after the process. I'm familiar with the process once I can get to the combs, but how to get them out of the tree is a bit elusive.
I've never done this before, and any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Note that the measurements for the trunion I got are 1.614" wide, which happens to be 41mm.
I'm not sure if I am missing some parts or if I have spare parts. I've managed to figure out the assembly for everything except the few parts I've identified. So if anyone can help with the one pic I'd appreciate it!
This has tons of pics (about 60) so beware if you're on a slow connection...

i love music and since the stock 6 cd changer player in the 06 wrx is jammed because of stupid cd skin protectors i cant listen to music anymore and i doubt they will warranty fix it because of the cd skin protectors. I need to replace the cd player for something better.
What headunit/cdplayer(double din preferably) and speakers would you reccomend that is substansially and noticably better than the stock speakers. I love the mid range bass from the stock speaker and would like speakers that have that better bass quality as im not looking into a subwoofer... well maybe later but speaker swap and cd player swap first and must have good quality bass and clarity. Oh and i also love the sound of nice clarity and Bass with good big headphones and a good cdplayer. I would like to replicate that sound in the car
and it would be good if the suggestions were best bang for the buck and not wallet breaking
for a double din cdplayer is the Kenwood DPX-501 the best bang for buck for double din?

It's been said before and it'll be said again: the election of Barack Obama casts a new light on the Civil Rights Movement. Or, in Ricardo Pitts-Wiley's words, "We get to tell the story in a different way." And so he has. Writer, director, actor, and co-founder of Mixed Magic Theatre, Pitts-Wiley has created When Fate Comes Knocking, which runs through February 15th at Mixed Magic in Pawtucket.
The subtitle of Pitts-Wiley's play is "The events that shaped the life of Martin Luther King, Jr.," but this is not a bio-drama. There are scenes with MLK and Coretta, (Pitts-Wiley and Jeannie Carson), short excerpts of King's writing (letters and speeches), and a very effective slide-show of Civil Rights leaders and other historic figures projected to the right of the stage. But the thrust of this story is told through a group of five neighbors, sitting on a porch, snappin' green beans.
Pitts-Wiley's writing is never better than when the dialogue is shaped for the conversation of everyday folk and the themes are straight from the heart — he has said that this play pays homage to the foot soldiers of the Movement, including his father. It's then that the language takes on a natural, even poetic flow from repeated phrases and alternating rhythms.
The latter is never more true than when the murders and assassinations of that era begin, and Carson, as the porch-sitter Mabel, jumps up and says, "What's goin' on? What kinda people have we become?" It's chilling the first time she says it, but it doesn't lose any of its power when she repeats it for Emmett Till, JFK, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, the Birmingham church bombing and, of course, MLK himself.
But for all the sorrow and solemnity of that time, it was the music and humor that sustained us. And in the African-American community, those two most likely saved lives. Danette Briggs, as the neighbor Lizzie, tells the story of the child marchers in Birmingham on whom the "Commissioner of Public Safety" Bull Connor turned fire hoses and then jailed — five days of protests led to 2000 children behind bars. And while they were there, Pitts-Wiley's words remind us, they sang and sang and sang.
And so do the folk on Pitts-Wiley's porch: they sing "freedom songs," hymns, and soul-stirring anthems. And, wisely, they just sing one verse or two, never interrupting the flow of their porch-chats too much, just punctuating them with the urgency that people in Montgomery — or anywhere in the deep South — must have felt.
They also spoof and tease each other: about Mabel's crush on Cassius Clay; about Dub's (Pitts-Wiley) pronouncement that preacher's wives should know how to play the piano and teach Sunday School; about PJ's (Jim Webster) argument over whether blackeyed peas have the "d" on their name and whether they're a pea or a bean. Teenager Yolanda Crockett, as LouElla, has a strong presence in these porch scenes, along with great timing.
When Fate Comes Knocking takes us through MLK's short life with knocks on King's door: his discovery of Mahatma Gandhi's teachings and practice; his encounter with E.D. Nixon, the organizer of the Montgomery bus boycott; his meeting with Malcolm X; his audience with the King of Norway, when he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize; his decision to speak out about the Vietnam War. The play lingers for a bittersweet moment on Coretta's worries for him and on the fears of the entire black community for his safety.

Nice to meet you. Really enjoying "The Canon". Glad it's available on audio for you.
I've only really developed a passion for science (astronomy in particular) in the last year or so, having been quite ignorant to it because I thought it was "too hard". But since the proverbial bug bit me when I watched Carl Sagan's Cosmos, I've been trying to absorb as much information as I can possibly manage! Enjoy the book! Perhaps we can have a synopsis on it together when we've both finished it. :) Chat soon.

Air Coolers & Fans: Portable Cooling Solutions for Homes & Offices
Do you have areas in your home or office that always seem to be stuffier and hotter than other areas? Some home and office rooms do not properly ventilate, or they may receive too much sunlight during the hottest summer hours, which can make them significantly warmer than the rest of your home or office. Even if you don't have any problems with keeping a consistent temperature throughout your home or office, you may decide that you want to save money on air conditioning costs this year by only cooling down the air in rooms that you frequent the most. If you can relate to any of these situations, then air coolers & fans can help you feel cool and comfortable in your home without causing your air conditioning bill to skyrocket.
Air fans are ideal for individuals who want to increase the circulation in a room without necessarily receiving the air conditioning effects of an indoor air cooler or portable air conditioner. Although they don't use water in order to cool a space, they can make the air feel cooler and more comfortable by simply increasing air flow. Air fans are also great for rooms that tend to get more stuffy and smelly than other rooms. Individuals who want to receive a very refreshing cooling effect by increasing the cool moisture content of a room may prefer to purchase an air cooler because it uses water to decrease the temperature of a room.
There are a wide variety of air coolers and fans that you can choose from, and they all offer similar benefits. Some of the top benefits you may receive from an air cooler include their ability to add moisture to dry environments while effectively refreshing and cooling down specific areas. They function much like miniature air conditioners and have an invigorating effect. Air fan benefits include the ability to decrease stuffiness and bad smells by circulating air that would otherwise be stagnant. They also make the air feel cooler in localized areas, which can help you to save money on air conditioning costs by allowing you to keep the rest of the home at a higher temperature while you remain comfortable in a room that uses an air fan.
Whether you are looking for an air cooler or air fan for residential or commercial purposes, we likely have exactly what you need. We offer portable air fans, space-friendly tower fans, top-rated residential fans, powerful commercial fans, and indoor air coolers that are ideal for both commercial and residential applications. Whether you want to save money this summer or simply increase your level of comfort while in your home or office, our wide variety of air fans and coolers can help you accomplish your goal.

My garden fence was messed up this winter. I have to replace a few posts and with the electric fence down a bear must have reached over and tried pulling the hive over.
I didnt notice it was pulled and hanging a bit to the side(i had it ratched in place) until I got stung a couple of times. They were angry. I had to suit up and put the hive back together and they were angry.
I could hardly see they were in my face. I put them back on and ratched the strap back down....but I have to get that fence fixed quick.
I am thinking about moving the hive to my orchard which has a bit more fencing in place. Anyone have any suggestions for moving a hive? at night? early morning?

Fantastic stay.Gaetano was very accommodating , and the apartment are superb! Walking distance to doumo..good restaurant few steps..bus station nearby.... If we come back to Florence..gaetano flat will be our first choice.
Gaetano met us after a 15 minute wait in the street. That was acceptable. The apartment and convenient in location, especially when we arrived at 3pm due to train delay after our day trip to Cinque Terri. There were problem with noise till late in the night. This could be overcome by the double glazed windows but then its too hot without air-conditioning. Some smell too early morning due to ?waste collection.
This beautiful flat in walking distance to the City
centre of Florence offers full equipment for up to 4 people.
Gaetano provided lots of useful tips and was very friendly
and helpful. Excellent place to stay when you want to explore
Florence and Tuscany. Thanks for everything, Gaetano!

Prestige House is a wonderful relaxing apartment in the downtown of Florence. We had perfect time and we really enjoyed our holidays. Gaetano is the perfect host, we had everything what we needed in the house.
Once you are there you really feel at home. Moreover the location is very central and close to everything.
For sure we will come back here our next time in Florence! Thank you Gaetano!
Die Wohnung war ziemlich zentral gelegen, ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß zum Dom. Das große Zimmer war an der Straßenseite und ziemlich laut, auch die Wände zum Nachbarn waren sehr dünn. Die Größenangabe der 140 qm ist sehr übertrieben, der lange Flur ist wahscheinlich der größte Raum. Die Douche ist sehr eng und auch gab es kein zweites WC. Alles in allem OK.
Das Prestige House ist in Florenz einmalig gelegen, mitten im Zentrum der historischen Altstadt. Der wunderschöne Dom prangt am Ende der Straße, wirklich ein einmaliges Bild. Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett, jederzeit erreichbar und erschien zur per what'sup verabredeten Zeit pünktlich zur Schlüsselübergabe.
Die Wohnung befindet sich in einem Gebäude aus dem 15. Jhd. mit originalem Deckenfresko im Schlafzimmer. Für 2-3 Personen ist die Wohnung für einen Kurzaufenthalt in Florenz sehr gut geeignet. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene,das wurde etwas eng. Die Küche ist vollwertig ausgestattet. Frühstück zubereiten auch für eine Familie ist kein Problem. Ich würde in der Küche noch eine kleine Kaffeemaschine empfehlen. Ein Espressomaker ist vorhanden, aber mit einer kleinen Kaffeemaschine spart man morgens etwas Zeit ein.
Liebe Grüße an den Vermieter
Estancia muy agradable. Estuve junto con mi familia un fin de semana en el apartamento de Gaetano en Florencia y salimos muy contentos tanto del trato recibido como de como nos encontramos equipado el apartamiento y sobre todo la localizacion del mismo. Volveriamos sin duda.

Hi to All
For centuries, the products of our beehives have been known and written about for their curative powers.
It's about time we opened a thread to talk about the curative powers of them.
1. Propolis
2. Bee pollen
3. Honey
I shall start by posting the following and then asking for more imput and discussion.
Treatment of Some Skin Diseases With Propolis, by L.N. Danilov, USSR,1978
Taking into account the antimicrobial, antipruritrous and epithelium growth
features of propolis, as well as the results of the researches conducted by
B. Tikhonov and V. Balanikova concerning the treatment with propolis of skin
tuberculosis and by G. Mukhamediarow concerning chronic eczemas and
neurodermitis, we studied propolis therapeutic effect in some skin diseases.
Between 1964 - 1972 I used propolis when treating 680 patients for different
skin diseases, in the ambulatory clinics in Svetogorsk (see table). In 90.1%
of the cases the result was positive. I used the propolis in ointment.
Disease - Healed - Improved - NoEffect
Eczema - 90 - 65 - 15
Neurodermitis - 152 - 146 - 14
Trophic ulcer - 51 - 12 - 2
Other diseases - 96 - 8 - 29
Total - 389 - 231 - 60
Total # patients 680
For preparing the ointment (100g), the propolis is purified; in an enameled
bowl 80g of vaseline heated on water bath (Now Simon I myself use honey
instead)at the temperature of 45 degrees - 50 degrees are kept, and then 20
g of propolis are added. It is thoroughly mixed until one obtains a
homogenous mass, it is then twice filtered through a gauze and then left to
make sediments. The ointment should be kept in a cool and dark place, into a
flask with ground-glass stopper.
For preparing the ointment, 100g propolis are poured into a flask, 500 ml
alcohol (I use high alcohol natural booze myself) 96% are added; the
mixture is preserved in a dark place, being stirred now and then. It is
filtered through a gauze after 10 days. The ointment is applied in a thin
layer on the area of the lesion focus which is dressed. The dressing has to
be changed daily.
The tincture (there is also a tincture with propolis) is taken daily 30-40
drops, 30 minutes before meals. (I make mine with natural alcohol).
We treated patients with chronic eczema and neurodermitis with limited
forms. each process wa localized especially on the back (dorsal) surface of
the hand, leg, in the joint of the elbow (the poplitheal space. after 5-6
days of treatment an improvement of the condition of pruritus was found, the
epidermis get soft and more elastic.
After the treatment with the propolis tincture the patients observed thay
had a sound sleep and very good appetite.
Before having propolis, the patients with trophic ulecration of the shank
had been treated with other methods, without efficiency. But due to the
propolis ointment the wound is quickly cleaned, a granulation tissue appear
and also epithelium on the surface of the wound.

Another good product at excellent price. This was the first ALCAR supplement I bought. - - - - - - - - - - - - It is extremely safe(Carnitine supplementation has an excellent safety record. Doses of 2-6 grams per day over a period of 6 months have been studied with no observed adverse side effects.) and the benefits are numerous - Acetyl-L-carnitine is a precursor of acetylcholine and improves cognitive performance, ameliorates age-related deficits, preserves, at least partially, learning and memory from the natural decay occurring with age, rescues aged neurons by increasing their responsiveness to neuronotrophic factors in the CNS and lot more.... Recommend this product. 5 stars.

I am taking this along with B-right and CoQ10. Results are impressive. Significant improvement in focus and energy.
Definitely does something

This provides quite a strong mental sharpness and alertness which for me also gave some slight nausea. I also took around noon and found myself greatly alert all day and then couldnt sleep for much of the night. Half a capsule works much better for me. It also makes me feel like I have just been exercising I suppose since it apparently it increases the mitochondria activity in your cells. Doesn't do much for my autistic kid. Slight improvement in anxiety I think. Well at least it definitely does something unlike much of the iherb stuff. I'm not sure if its really that useful for solving any problem other than tiredness.
Seems good for memory

MOOD ENHANCER plus other benefits!
Posted by Angeleyes on Jan 06, 2015 | Verified Purchase
I originally purchased this when our sons doctor suggested it for him. Our seven year old has autism and this has helped his focus and concentration. I started taking it for brain fog, mood swings and low energy. IT WORKS! I've only been taking one capsule per day and I can feel a major difference in my energy level and mind set. Overall, I feel more grounded, focused and less scatter brained. My mood is better, and there's much less yawning mid day for me. My husband started using this for low energy as well. Two capsules or even 3 seem a better fit for him. It took just 2-3 days for me to feel the effects. The only down side is if you forget to take one, or you run out for awhile, you will feel it! Highly recommend!

Akin to a Dirty Sanchez, a man fucks a woman in the ass and then proceeds to give the girl two symmetric markings under her eyes via cock-slap or some other means. Ten points if you give a warcry and cum up her nose.
My girlfriend wanted to get more culture in the house, so I gave her some Cherokee Warpaint.

text: I wanted to update my electronics without replacing panels or spending a bunch of money, and it turned out pretty sweet. I'm sharing this in case anybody else is thinking about doing same. Went from stock CD / radio and wierd lilltle cassette player in the lower panel, to a 2 DIN Touchscreen Controller / Amp and a seperate, but integrated CD / Tuner / Amp - all without changing any stock dash panels. I also upgraded the speakers and added a powered subwoofer recently. I got a Pioneer AVIC F500BT new for about $175. Also got the little amplifier option for another $60. The amp's important to get to benefit from many of the features. Then used a Sony CD / receiver with built-in 4X45 watt amp. Some Infinity speakers and a powered tube type subwoofer. All totalled, less than $600 into it. For all the features and quality I'm enjoying - some have easily spent 4 times as much or more. A pic is attached. Here's an overview of what it does for me: - Now have a full-blown GPS / map system that broadcasts turn by turn directions through the audio system. Also mutes stereo for directions when needed. - Have reverse camera that takes display automatically. - My phone automatically connects through Bluetooth when the truck's started. I initiate calls with my voice, and the calls are broadcast through the audio system. My phone's contacts are also synchronized to the touchscreen. Everything's totally handsfree. Also shows who's calling, etc. - I can now store music and video directly on the Pioneer and/or a USB thumbdrive. With a couple modifications I'm able to watch video while rolling down the highway as well. (required a hardwire parking brake bypass and a software hack) - I can also drop an iPod on it and operate that through voice or touch, and view the art, etc. on the touchscreen. Pretty cool for a 13 year old truck! Johnny Mac

text: I dont think we will need to trade for it. I like Richarson out of Baylor, we can get him in the second, maybe third. and we can easily get Barrett out of Bama in the first, hes kind of likea Diehl in my opinion. But a lot smarter, and much better. I hope hope hope we are able to make room avaliable to sign Sebastian Volmer. Immediately our O-line would be amazing with those three players. We would have to make huge changes, like I dont see TT coming back due to physical concerns and webster may even be cut or restructured at the end of the year. The main thing is Cruz's contract, we need to know how much cap room that will eat up.

When it comes to interviewing race car drivers, women have a different and interesting perspective on the sport.
Through the ages women drivers have taken on the men and occasionally got one over them. One of the pioneers was Janet Guthrie who became the first woman to race the Indianapolis 500 (1977) and Nascar's Daytona 500 in the same year. Michele Mouton was a highly accomplished rally driver who won four rounds and finished second in the WRC in 1982. There was also Lella Lombardi, who won a point in Formula One, and Danica Patrick.
In 2008, Patrick became the first woman to win a major open wheel event when she led the IndyCar field home in Japan. She's now one of the biggest draw cards in Nascar and this year will be racing in the main game Sprint Cup full time.
If anyone thinks the organisers of F1, V8 Supercars, GP2, GP3, F3, or any of the many other racing class want to keep women out of motor sport, you're stark raving mad. Most of the blokes who run the sport would give an important part of their anatomy to have a woman who could compete in their series.
If there was a super quick female F1 driver out there, Bernie Ecclestone would break the bank at Monte Carlo to get her a drive.
Why? All of sudden you've doubled your audience and opened the door for a whole new raft of sponsors to come on board.
Last year Italian Michela Cerruti competed in the Toyota Racing Series. It was her first time in single seaters and she acquitted herself well, finishing the season in 16th. Back on home soil, Cerruti finished 10th picking up a win along the way.
"I've had a good 2012 season with some ups and downs but that's normal," said Cerruti. "The thing I notice the most with formula cars [open wheel] is they are physically hard compared to saloon cars as there is no power steering. Only F1 has that.
"I have to do a lot of fitness training to be able to match the men. But the more you do the better you get, and racing so many kilometres here last year helped me a lot. It's good to see that the TRS has another woman racing and I hope she does well."
Cerruti is referring to Columbian Tatiana Calderon who does have a pedigree in single seaters. In her rookie year in the US Star Mazda Championship, she became the first female driver to finish on the podium (with two thirds) and finished sixth overall.
Moving to Europe, the 19-year-old joined the European F3 series as the only woman and again finished on the podium - ending the season in ninth, beating a lot of talented young male drivers.
At the opening round of the 2013 TRS championship in Teretonga last weekend, Calderon finished 12th, 11th and 11th at and again crossed the line in 12th in the opening Timaru race yesterday.


text: Hey everyone, I am new to this community and I have little to no experience with making my own props. Lately I realized how much I need a ROTJ jetpack to hang around my place or to occasionally wear. I need all the help I get so if anyone has any preferred kits for beginners and certain paints to use that would be fantastic!
