Cushioning The Risks Of CommoditiesDavid Greising
For years, John Beviacqua, 50, believed that buying stocks was the smart, safe way to invest for retirement. But after the 1987 crash erased more than $15,000 of his portfolio, the chief financial officer for data processing firm RCG/Pro-Access decided to rethink his strategy. Today, he has 45% of his portfolio in an investment he considers even smarter and safer than stocks: commodities funds.
That's right. Although commodities--or futures, to use the more modern term--are notoriously risky if you trade them yourself, Beviacqua and a growing horde of investors are putting their faith in professionally managed funds. These investments give individuals access to the potentially lucrative--yet volatile--futures markets for as little as $2,000. "People are afraid of commodities. I'm afraid of commodities," says Beviacqua. "But not with a good manager out there."
Even with professional management, though, futures funds are highly speculative. In most cases, investors are advised to place no more than 5% to 10% of their total portfolio in such funds, and they should be able to withstand heavy losses of principal. Commodities are also not a game for people who need instant access to their money, such as retirees dependent on a steady income stream. Careful investors can protect themselves to some extent by choosing managers with long, proven track records. They can even turn to guaranteed funds that offer lower rates of return but pledge to refund the investor's original outlay, no matter what the trading results.
A lot of investors think the possible rewards are worth the risks. Futures funds have attracted more than $21 billion, nearly three times as much as they contained before the 1987 stock market crash, according to the Managed Futures Assn. That's still only a fraction of the $350 billion in stock mutual funds, but the dollars keep flowing in.
For most of this year, funds have traded miserably, losing more than 10% of their value. But they turned around smartly in June, when fund managers found money-making opportunities in currencies and interest rates. "Some managers who have been taking a beating over the last few months are currently seeing 10% and 12% returns," says Leon Rose, publisher of Managed Account Reports, a newsletter that tracks fund performance. "This only bodes well for the commodity funds," he says. Still, perhaps more than other investments, commodity performance is difficult to predict because the markets move so quickly and the funds trade in such a variety of products.
LOSS LIMIT. Futures funds offer a number of advantages. Investors get the huge potential upside of buying commodities, but unlike speculators who often buy futures on margin, their losses are limited only to the amount they actually invest. They get an investment vehicle that typically moves independently of stocks. That can be an enticing feature at a time when the stock market's gearshift appears stuck between neutral and reverse. They also can get an attractive performance record, with a number of fund managers posting an annual return of 15% or more over the last 10 years, says Managed Account Reports. Stock prices, meanwhile, have appreciated by about 14% per year during that period.
Mainstream brokerage firms such as Merrill Lynch, Dean Witter Reynolds, and Shearson Lehman Brothers have all backed funds in recent years with low costs of entry. But those investors willing to risk a bit more can choose another option: private placements available to groups of 35 or fewer people who can each put up a minimum of, say, $5,000 to $150,000. Pension funds and other institutions have started buying into managed funds, but it still remains a business dominated by retail investors who supply more than two-thirds of the money and put less than 10% of their investment capital into commodities.
Choosing the right fund requires some work, such as perusal of offering documents that typically run more than 200 pages. The most important investor checkpoint is the name of the trading adviser--the person or people who actually make trading decisions. The trading adviser's history should show a record of reasonable profits, losses of no more than 25% in any given year, and a consistent growth in assets under management. For example, Sjo Inc., which manages more than $50 million in fund assets, specializes in futures on foreign financial instruments. In the last three years, Sjo has shown a 61% compounded annual return, posted a one-month loss no bigger than 14.5%, and done no worse than a 26% gain in any one year.
REASONABLE FEES. Sometimes, the trading adviser's impact can be hard to determine because the fund managers hire more than one. "It's become fashionable to have 8 or 10 trading advisers involved in one fund," says John Alban Jr., president of Pragma, a trading advisory firm. "Sometimes, it's hard to know who's doing what to whom."
Fees charged by the brokerage firm and the trading adviser should be reasonable--say, a 4% up-front sales load, a 1% guaranteed management fee, and an incentive fee of 1% to 3% of trading profits. And conditions for withdrawal of funds, or "redemptions," should be clearly stated and allow investors to receive their money in a timely manner.
Unlike open-end mutual funds, in which investors can buy or sell shares on an ongoing basis as market conditions change, most commodity funds are closed-end. Once the funds start trading, new investors are no longer welcome. That means investors must make their decision about buying into a fund up front, based on the past performance of the trading advisers. Investors in private pools can sell their stakes, but arranging such transactions can be a touch-and-go proposition.
Some investors prefer funds that target particular sectors of the commodity markets. Funds that concentrate on currencies and on shifts in interest rates in foreign countries have been popular lately.
Dean Witter, for example, recently raised $68 million for its Global Perspective Portfolio, and Shearson is currently raising money for its F1000 Guarantee Fund XIX. But many fund managers believe that targeted funds unnecessarily limit trading options. "From our perspective, we are futures traders, whether it's currencies, grains, interest rates, metals, or whatever," declares Alan Kaufman, senior vice-president of Mt. Lucas Management, an investment firm based in Princeton, N.J.
ERRATIC PERFORMANCE. Whatever their target, all commodity funds are likely to show an erratic performance that can be unsettling. Indeed, it's not uncommon for funds to shut down after losing all or most of their investors' money. "A higher degree of volatility is assumed," declares Sol Waksman, president of Barclay Trading Group, a Fairfield (Iowa) brokerage firm that tracks the performance of trading advisers. "If investors can't handle it, they should stay away from commodity funds."
Instead, those people might consider guaranteed funds, which promise a return of principal, despite market conditions. The pledge is possible because trading advisers invest about two-thirds of the fund assets in low-risk instruments such as zero-coupon bonds or Treasuries. The other third goes into the commodities markets to boost the fund's overall yield. Cost for such a promise? Less money for trading means less riskof loss--and less opportunity for double-digitgains.
THE CONTRACTS BEHIND THE FUTURES FUNDS AGRICULTURALS Range from soybeans to wheat to pork bellies to orange juice. Prices tend to move based on weather, trade policy, consumption, and international crops CURRENCIES Investors speculate on the future value of the dollar vs. German marks, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, and others ENERGY Crude oil, heating oil, and gasoline are the most popular. Weather, wars, and inflation make these markets move INTEREST RATES Sensitive to all manner of economic news and to actions by the world's central banks. Eurodollar futures are tied to short-term rates charged on funds deposited overseas. Treasury-bond futures are tied to the U.S. government's 30-year bond PRECIOUS METALS Silver, gold, platinum.

Awesome Keyboard!
By Tanner
from saskatchewan
Thanks Microsoft and The Shopping Channel! I love this keyboard. It's very nice to type on. I bought an Acer computer from TSC last year, and last week I broke the spacebar key, so I had to get a new keyboard. I'm glad I bought it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dear Luca,
perhaps you might try with Tom Wickham-Jones' Graphics Extensions
and then use
<< ExtendGraphics`SurfaceGraphics3D`
data = Table[{x = Pi Random[], y = 2 Pi Random[], Sin[x] Sin[y]},
ListSurfacePlot3D[data, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 0.8}, ViewPoint -> {1.6,

Sailors over 55
Writer working on article about "senior" sailors would like to hear from those who started sailing after age 55.
email email@example.com
Sailors over 55
I''m re-starting at 54...and it all comes
back. The greatest challenge seems to be the
testing of upper body strength. Thank God
for blocks and winches.
Sailors over 55
At age 56 I''ve been a power boater all my life. I just purchased a 30'' pearson sloop and am now a rag bagger. about 15 years ago I owned an 18'' cat. I hope it all comes back to me. they say its like riding a bike. lets hope so. bob
Sailors over 55
Been a while since you posted this. Probably too late to be useful, but here goes.
Had 1 hour on a Hobie about 20 years ago. Sailing seemed like a reasonable thing to do, so...
Turned 55, took 4 hours of sailing instruction, bought a 16-foot boat, and (with my wife as an innocent crew member) proceeded to motor to the middle of the lake, raise both sails, and turn off the motor.
Estimate that we have 40-50 hours of experience since boat purchase on July 13. Beginning to feel comfortable in winds to 10-12 mph. Would like to extend skill set to 18-20 mph. (Maybe I should learn to reef?)
Biggest thrill so far: seeing somebody else struggling with the tiller and mainsail and realizing that they have less experience than I do.
Advice to seniors: Don''t wait another day. It requires physical strength and endurance to compensate for stupid beginner mistakes. Learn to sail smart while you''re still able to pay the price for your errors.
Sailors over 55
HMMM-never thought of myself as a "senior sailor" at age 55. Maybe I should rethink this whole thing.
Sailors over 55
Don''t know what all this crap about "senior sailors" is. I''m still flying a fire fighting helicopter at 57 and plan to trade that adventure in for cruising under sail at 60. Once again those far away places with the strange sounding names are calling me, only a different mode of transport this time!
Sailors over 55
At 58 and still going strong. Still sailing 25 ft kelt, with tiller. Wheel would probably be easier. Tow dink, put motor on it from boat. Lots of work but feel really good after a weekend cruise.
PS!!!!Two back surgeries, two rotator cup surgeries and lot of celebrex help.
God willing I''ll be able to sail away after I retire and keep on until I am 101 years young.
Sailors over 55
Like nauticalrich, surgeries, celebrex and desire to "do". 60 this month. Cruise next month.
Sailors over 55
I am 71 and my wife is 59. We plan to sail a Cal 34 Mk III from Belingham WA to Seward AK this coming June. This is about a four week cruise with an ocean crossing of approx. 600 miles from Sitka AK to Seward AK. We do not expect to be taxed by this, although the Gulf of Alaska weather can be chancy. We do have experience, but are by no means more than amateur sailors. We intend to use this vessel to cruise Alaskan waters for the next few years and have a good time.
Sailors over 55
My life began, or should I say I got a life at 55. I''m a power boater with a 37 foot cabin cruiser. She''s got a 250 mile range and I''ll cruise to Mexico from LA. in a blink. I just wish i''d have bought a sail boat instead. When I get back from salmon fishing in Alaska this summer I''ll consider a trade.

Yeah, but it's a dry heat,
Try this...............
Victoria Weather Forecast and Conditions Canada :hand5:
That's terrible, I'd have to mount an A/C unit in the floor so I could pass out on it!
Only 75 at the moment in Maine. I should go for a bicycle ride later and enjoy the evening.
Ouch. It's like 85 and cloudy here. OK has had a very mild summer so far, and after a winter that seemed to last forever.
A buddy of mine is running in this next week: AdventureCORPS Presents the Badwater Ultramarathon Official Website
One hundred and thirty five miles, run in what might be 130 degree heat. Yes, he's insane.
Having spent some considerable time in temps of 120 and above, I feel your pain. Meanwhile, in Bogota today it's 63 and mostly sunny. Tomorrow, it will be 63 and partly cloudy. Next week, it will be 63 and partly sunny. Next month, it will be 63 and.... :bier:
It's not even 65ºF here, in Portland (as of noon).
117 degrees is rough. That's the hottest I have ever experienced. Nicely, I was just passing through. Can't imagine living in such a place, just because of the temps. When bubbling on the setting for "London Broil" the beauty of a place wouldn't be enough, for me.
Think "cool." :wave:
I'm gonna have to start inventing my backpack AC unit,a self contained unit that blasts a cool curtain of air around an individual during times when they have to go outside when the asphalt starts bubbling like a prehistoric tar pit
we get pretty consistant "feels like" 105-110 degree days here because of the humidity and the intensity of the sun on those days can be rugged...i cant imagine the kind of heat you guys get...thats like walking under a broiling element...damn...
Everybody has bad weather. Didn't you know that? For you desert dwellers it's heat. For us Mid-Westerns it's -20 degrees with a wind chill taking it down another 10 or 20 degrees. Brrrrrrr!:tumbleweed:
Quit your complaining, crack open a cold beverage, and go jump in a pool!:bier:
Hey! 117 degrees. So, can you really cook an egg on the roof of your car?:tongue:
"Humidity". Thats our enemy. We see triple-digits quite frequently over the summer, and its like auto-sweat soon as you walk out the door. Ironically, I've never personally owned a vehicle with working A/C. I'm up in WVA for now, its about 70-ish going by how it feels,...PERFECT! We're leaving for home tomorrow afternoon. I'll definitely miss the summer climate up here when we get back.
I won't argue the point, that temps above 110 are not fun to work in, but it is better than 32 degrees; when I am miserable. :tumbleweed:
Raining and 52. Perfect indoor range weather :image035:
Wellll.... some of the time. Not so much at the moment.
The traditional definition of the AZ "monsoon" season is 3 consecutive days with a dew point of 55F or higher. As of today - perhaps even yesterday, depending on where you are in the Phx area, the season is upon us.
What it means is that for about the next 10 weeks we will get highly localized, intense cloudbursts lasting from maybe 2 to 20 minutes. With pretty flat terrain, no real storm sewer system and soil like concrete, streets can fill up wth runoff pretty quickly. Not a good time of year to pitch a tent in a wash out in the desert!
For a "newcomer" - only my 8th summer out here - 110 is hot, but 115 or over is just freakin' oppressive!

The Starz pay cable movie channel has been a little late to join its peers in the original programming pool. Over the past two years, their efforts have included unnecessary takes on Crash and, even more inexplicably, Spartacus. Note to programming department: just because you're a movie channel does not mean your shows need to be based on films.
Then, there's Party Down. This is the show that should put Starz on the map. But it probably won't. Because unfortunately in its second season hardly anyone is watching.

Vintage design offers distinct appearance and a stealthy level of security
One of the neatest features of BookBook for iPad Mini 3 / 2 / 1 is the stealthy security it delivers. Tucked inside BookBook, no one will ever see your iPad Mini, even when it's right under their nose. Sitting on a coffee table, dorm room or desk, BookBook for iPad Mini looks like a vintage piece of literature, not a fancy iPad Mini. It's a great disguise and a simple way to reduce the risk of your iPad Mini getting stolen.
Protects your iPad Mini 3 / 2 / 1 from accidental bumps, scrapes and drops from small heights
BookBook for iPad Mini is designed to keep your iPad Mini safe and secure as you shuttle it from place to place. A soft, velvety interior cushions your iPad Mini between two supple leather corners and an elastic band holds the tablet in place. Hardback covers with reinforced corners provide impact protection. The tough spine and a hard protective inner frame offer crush protection. Dual zippers seal the deal, while allowing to unzip just enough to sneak in the charging cord or a headphone cable.
Built-in stand will allow you to use your iPad Mini at a comfortable angle
One of the neat surprises with BookBook for iPad Mini is the fact that it transforms into a fully-adjustable, hands-free stand. You'll find a button on the inside left cover of the case and a leather tassle connected to the other side. To use BookBook for iPad Mini as a stand, fold the two covers backwards to form a "V", then stretch the tassle under the case and wrap it around the button. Adjusting the length allows you to determine your perfect viewing angle.
Genuine leather case is lightweight and protective
The BookBook for iPad Mini is a handmade, genuine leather hardback case made exclusively for iPad Mini. Weighing a mere 212g, this featherlight case offers serious protection for your precious iPad Mini without weighing you down.

"All the crew were indispensable on board," replied Aurelius coloring slightly.
"Forgive me, forgive me," said Aurelius, himself hardly able to check his tears.
Shall we be jealous of the ethical loftiness of a Plato or an Aurelius?
"Then we must turn to the left, towards the Porta Asinaria," cried Aurelius.
The province of Italy fell to the lot of the other consul, Aurelius.
Now Aurelius, or my soul deceives me, would be constant to those he loved.
Aurelius did not seem particularly interested in the information.
Aurelius finds him most interesting; he considers him quite a genius.
You may not think it, but you're preaching—what's the word that 'Aurelius' used?
Aurelius, my illustrious friend, is in the greatest anxiety.

I was curious how many siblings everyone has...at first I was gonna ask how many siblings people who are homeschooled have, cuz I had an hypothesis that maybe people who are homeschooled have more siblings since school is so expensive but then decided to change the poll.
I have 3 sisters...how about you?
Do you wish to have had more/less? Why?
EDIT: I realized the numbers are a bit off and I can't change them but it's okay.

To derive a team's poll percentages in the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, each team's point total is divided by a maximum 2825 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1525 possible points in the USA Today Poll.
Teams are assigned an inverse point total (25 for #1, 24 for #2, etc.) for each of their respective computer poll rankings to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the sum total of the remaining four rankings is divided by 100 (the maximum possible points). This figure produces a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin and Peter Wolfe. Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength within its formula.
The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive and USA Today Polls, and Computer rankings. The highest BCS Average receives the #1 ranking, the second highest receives #2, and so forth.

The Emperor of All Maladies
David Cantor writes:
Siddhartha Mukherjee is an oncologist, physician and laboratory scientist whose book captures the excitement of biomedical research and discovery, the wonder at the complexities of cancer and the bodies it inhabits, and the thrill of major advances in knowledge and practice. Without a molecular framework for understanding cancer, he argues, doctors' ability to intervene against this group of diseases was limited. The major methods of treatment employed before the 1990s were based on questionable premises and used the bluntest of tools: surgery, carried out on the assumption that cancer began locally before affecting other parts of the body; and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, on the assumption that cancers comprise cells that divide more rapidly than the surrounding normal ones. All of this changed with a series of exhilarating breakthroughs in the last decades of the 20th century. Scientists discovered proto-oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes, which either accelerate or inhibit tumour growth, acting as 'jammed accelerators' or 'missing brakes', as Mukherjee puts it. They learned about the dependence of cancer cells on permanently activated signalling pathways which drive them to divide and grow, and about the capacity of cancer cells to resist death signals, and to metastasise throughout the body. These discoveries opened up a new world of so-called targeted therapy.

It looks like a paint bomb has exploded in my face. My hair is streaked with cerise and my skin is smeared with purple, maize and shamrock, like I'm in camouflage for a trip to a rainbow. Although I'm wearing special overalls, I'd need a full-on, anti-Ebola suit to stop the colours from spreading everywhere.
Fifteen minutes earlier, my white suit and I looked pristine. But I've taken five bags of dry paint to the face and body — wiped on, poured over or thrown at me by other Holi players outside Cinnamon Kitchen in the Square Mile.
The restaurant will open the "House of Holi" on Thursday March 5 to mark the festival of colour on Friday. The mini-arena is open until March 14, with six sessions a day during the week. An ancient Hindu festival, Holi's popularity is spreading, presumably because it allows us decrepit folk to regress to childhood, play-fighting with paint.
You can see why Cinnamon Kitchen's staff know this will be popular in the City. A Holi session lets you take out your aggression on co-workers — the douche waffle who got a bigger bonus than you, the boss with a Stalinist superiority complex — in a way that won't mean you find your P45 on your desk the next morning.
Like all good festivals, Holi also means feasting. Cinnamon Kitchen has a special menu for £30 with dishes like "Jhinga malai curry" (king prawn) and "bhaditraka" — grilled lamb escalope with black stone flower. There are also traditional sweets such as pistachio burfi and snacks like lotus seeds.
Cinnamon Kitchen isn't the only place you can find the Holi spirit in London. Dishoom is hosting its celebrations on March 29, with street food traders such as Pizza Pilgrims and Lily Vanilli bakery. Tickets go on sale on March 9. Meanwhile, at the Reverend JW Simpson bar in Fitzrovia, bar- tenders will be mixing up Holi-inspired kaleidoscopic cocktails until the end of this week.

Charlottesville - Sen. Creigh Deeds, the Democratic nominee for governor, released the following statement on Monday regarding the conduct of Del. Phil Hamilton (R-Newport News).
"For the past seven years, Virginians from all walks of life have worked hard to earn our ranking as the best managed state in the nation. Phil Hamilton's actions and subsequent denials not only undermine that effort, but more importantly, betray the public trust. His conduct deserves far more than simple 'disappointment.' It deserves our outrage. We cannot turn the other cheek to this type of behavior. He should resign from the House of Delegates immediately."

Magnified 1125X, this Gomori-stained photomicrograph revealed the presence of a Penicillium marneffei yeast cell, which was found in a specimen of human spleen.
P. marneffei is endemic to Southeast Asia, where it is one of the more common HIV-related opportunistic infections. Penicillium spp. are known to cause penicilliosis, which usually affects immunocompromised individuals such as those with AIDS, or undergoing chemotherapy. P. marneffei is normally acquired though inhalation of airborne spores.

Kashima Coat
All Factory Series 29er Forks
Now available on the entire 29er mountain bike Factory Series fork lineup. Buttery-smooth, Genuine Kashima Coat's distinctive gold color is backed by its high performance attributes — properties that provide an exceptionally smooth feel and extreme durability. Genuine Kashima Coat is available only from FOX — the Kashima Coat logo is individually pad-printed on each stanchion.
Smooth like Butter!
FOX Isolated Technology
Air and oil do mix, and in the world of suspension, it degrades performance. Our isolation technology employs a bladder system that simply keeps the oil and air from mixing to provide optimal performance on your twenty niner mountain bike in all riding extremes.
We worked with FOX sponsored athletes to test the system and fine tune the damping. The first production FIT dampers were produced in the 2005 model year in our 40 RC2 and 36 TALAS RC2 models.
Since then, we've utilized the single wall expanding bladder and inverted damper technology originally found in our 29er 32 RLC and RL dampers, created an RLC damper for our 36 160 line, and developed the 36 180 RC2 damper.
Don't sacrifice performance on your twenty niner by going with a pinner skewer. We teamed up with Shimano to create an axle that is extremely light and stiff, in a tool-free design. You'll gain a ton of confidence on your twenty niner mountain bike when you're deep in the rocks, roots, and ruts.
15QR is available in the 29er 32 and 29er 34 forks.

All of the Twins news coming out of the Winter Meetings on Monday surrounded one player, Tsuyoshi Nishioka. In yesterday's post I wrote about the Twins Checklist for the Winter Meetings. The first item on my list was to decide on the starting infield. Nishioka is a piece that could fit into the Twins infield for the foreseeable future.
The Twins met with Nishioka's agent, Rick Thurman, on Monday. There are multiple reports that have come out of that meeting. The first report states that the Twins are looking at two or three year deal that would be in the neighborhood of $6 to $12 million. The second report has the Twins offering him a three year contract that could be from $9 to $10 million.
By getting a deal finalized with Nishioka the rest of the infield picture could become a little clearer. One route the Twins could follow would be to seriously listen to offers for JJ Hardy. The Twins have holes that need to be filled in the bullpen and starting rotation. A Hardy trade could fill one of these holes.
I feel that Hardy is the Twins best option at shortstop for next season. They have Hardy at the extra low cost of $6 million. To trade him for relief help would be a waste of his talents. If he is included in a package to improve the starting rotation this could be a better move for the Twins. The problem is that there won't be a team jumping to offer a top-of-the-line starter for a shortstop that has been injury prone.
There might have been some bridges burned between the Twins and Hardy over the last couple weeks. He is only under control of the team for next season. At this point would the Twins want to offer him a long-term contract? Hardy has been getting asked about his situation with the Twins for the last couple weeks. Once the season starts there still could be questions for Hardy. Could he be traded at the mid-point of the season?
The Hardy situation will be an interesting one to watch during the rest of this offseason. But getting Nishioka signed is the first step in that equation.

Sarah Montague turns her attention to universities, in particular, to MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). Some argue that these free university online courses, presented by some of the best professors in the world, could - in cash strapped times - be the saviour of higher education and take university to people in some of the remotest regions of the world. Others argue they could destroy centuries of tradition.

Hundreds of Iraqi tribal chiefs gave important support Saturday to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's national reconciliation plan, while the government leader called the release of a leading Sunni Arab lawmaker by kidnappers a gift to his unity campaign...
A representative of the chiefs read their agreement on live television, calling it a "pact of honor."
"Realizing the gravity of the situation our country is undergoing, we pledge in front of God and the Iraqi people to be sincere and serious in preserving the unity of our country," said the agreement signed by tribal leaders and sheiks.

Starlight focuses on the rehearsal and production of a full-length play each summer. We cast during the first few days every student who wants to act will get a role then we rehearse, build the sets, hang the lights, design the costumes, and organize front-of-house and backstage tasks.
We will perform on July 26, 27 & 28 at 7 pm and July 29 at 2 pm. The performances are open to the public and admission is charged. On July 4 students who are available will march in the Williamstown 4th of July Parade.
Welcome to the Theatre
Since being founded in 1976, hundreds of young people from the northern Berkshire County, southern Vermont and eastern New York state area have participated in the programs. We rehearse and perform at facilities in the First Congregational Church at 906 Main Street in Williamstown, MA.
Theatre is a collaborative discipline.
It is hard work, but very rewarding. Our aim is for each student to learn these facts and have a good time at Starlight.
Although some Starlight alumni go on to seek degrees and careers in the theatre, our goal is not to train actors and technicians, but to instill a lifelong love and respect for the arts that combine to create theatre.
We produce full-length plays for the general public.
Casting takes place on the first two days of the program for both groups. It is the sole responsibility of the Director, whose decision is final. It is the company policy not to recast productions.
We try to find the best possible combination between student and production. We do not require previous theatrical experience or training.
Enrollment is limited and students are accepted on the basis of first received applications and paid tuition.
About the Programs
Starlight Stage Company (ages 12 - 18) and Junior Starlight (ages 7 - 11) are nonresidential, half-day programs, operating five days per week for a five week period from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
Some people ask how Starlight has lasted for so many years.
The answer is simple - the same format which we used in 1976 is still in use today. We have... (more)

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Take a Poll (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/take-poll/)
- - Does your vet permit you to stay with your dog while he is being treated? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/take-poll/159088-does-your-vet-permit-you-stay-your-dog-while-he-being-treated.html)
6 Attachment(s)
Absolutely. I've also been for small surgeries, X-Rays (lately it seems I have my own lead apron at the vet hospital) and I get my dogs to or from the kennels if they stay or have to wait for something. For big surgeries I've opted to be outside, I do not know how can react, specially if something goes wrong and the less the vet needs is to worry about his job, the patient and me.
I wish my dog could be present at MY doctor appointments.
I mean, maybe the doc with think twice before coming at me with that apparatus if my toothy companion was getting nervous.
Maybe they would make sure they were cutting on the right extremity if they knew my Babsy would be sitting there scrutinizing them through another procedure.
I wonder if my dog would be better than the anesthesiologists at knowing that I am awake and aware of what they are doing when I am supposed to be oblivious.
After reading the responses here, I looked at the poll results and was a little surprised about the results so far. More people have said yes than no. Interesting.
Today I was with Hogan all the time...induction, intubation, surgery and recovery. Sitting on the floor now with him.
My clinic is a small town clinic, where several of the DMV's still make house calls, and work on large animals. They are pretty relaxed with the rules reguarding acompaning your pet. I'm with my animals all I wish to be with their visits. I feel very comfortable with leaving my pets there for major treatments (spays, surgerys, etc.) I have watched part of a surgery once while consulting the surgan reguarding my own dogs care. (it was someone elses dog that was being operated on. I don't think I would like to watch my own pets surgery, too much emotional involvement there, but it was fasinating to watch someone elses pet being worked on.
I am a retired nurse and was director of surgery for awhile. It is not a strange environment to me and it doesn't bother me to see my dogs in the OR. I imagine that would not be the case for a lot of owners who would rather not observe all that. We all had a good time visiting as surgery progressed.
Hogan woke up a bit confused about the belly pain. He did jump right into the car though as he was motivated to go home. Pain meds on board and resting in crate now.
The only time I am not with my pet at the vet is if he is doing Xrays or surgery. I've never left them in the room alone with them.
I can understand tho if the owner is in a anxious state and so is the dog. My dogs do well with me at the vet tho.
Oops, I misread the poll and answered it wrong.
My vet lets me stay with my pets during all procedures including surgery although I've only done this with minor procedures so far (biopsy, neuter, etc...)
Although, I do trust her so I would not have a problem if she treated my dog without me present if for some reason she needed to do so, however I prefer to be there and she lets me stay with my dog for everything (except x-rays-- I leave the room while the machine is running!)

Broncos to meet Seahawks in Super Bowl
AP Tuesday, January 21, 2014, 12:09 am TWN
DENVER -- Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos will meet Russell Wilson's Seattle Seahawks in next month's NFL Super Bowl.
The Broncos made the title game after a 26-16 victory over the Patriots in the American Football Conference final on Sunday.
In the National Football Conference championship, Wilson threw a 35-yard touchdown pass on fourth down as the Seahawks advanced to their second Super Bowl with a 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Less than three years after being unable to throw a football because of his surgically ravaged neck and nerve endings, Manning will get a chance for his second title. He'll try to become the first quarterback to win one with two different teams, at the Meadowlands on Feb. 2.
"Being in my 16th season, going to my third Super Bowl, I know how hard it is to get there," Manning said.
After taking the final knee, Manning stuffed the football in his helmet and ran to the 30-yard line to shake hands with Brady. The Indy-turned-Denver quarterback improved to 5-10 lifetime against New England's QB but 2-1 in AFC title games.
It was far from a fireworks show in this, the 15th installment of the NFL's two best quarterbacks of their generation. But Manning, who finished 32 for 43 for 400 yards and two short touchdown passes, set up four field goals by Matt Prater and put his stamp on this one with a pair of long, meticulous and mistake-free touchdown drives in which nothing came cheap.
Manning geared down the no-huddle, hurry-up offense that helped him set records for touchdown passes and yardage this season and made the Broncos the highest-scoring team in history. The result: A pair of scoring drives that lasted a few seconds over seven minutes; they were the two longest, time-wise, of the season for the Broncos (15-3).
Manning capped the second with a 3-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas — who got inside the overmatched Alfonzo Dennard and left his feet to make the catch — for a 20-3 lead midway through the third quarter.
A win at MetLife Stadium would put him in the same company as his brother, Eli, along with John Elway, Roger Staubach and others as a two-time Super Bowl winner.
Later, Seattle's top-ranked defense forced three fourth-quarter turnovers as the Seahawks booked their first trip to the Super Bowl since they lost to Pittsburgh after the 2005 season.
The conference champions had the best records in the league this year, the first time the top seeds have gotten to the Super Bowl since the 2010 game.
Moments after Richard Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick's pass to teammate Malcolm Smith for the clinching interception, the All-Pro cornerback jumped into the stands behind the end zone, saluting the Seahawks' raucous fans. With 12th Man flags waving everywhere, and "New York, New York" blaring over the loudspeakers, CenturyLink Field rocked like never before.
"That's as sweet as it gets," Sherman said.
San Francisco (14-5) led 17-13 when Wilson, given a free play as Aldon Smith jumped offside, hurled the ball to Jermaine Kearse, who made a leaping catch in the end zone over Carlos Rogers.
Steven Hauschka then kicked his third field goal, and Smith intercepted in the end zone on the 49ers' final possession.
"This feels even sweeter, with the amazing support we have had from the 12th Man," team owner Paul Allen said, comparing this Super Bowl trip to the previous one.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls to near eight-week low on Fed concerns
TORONTO, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell to its lowest in nearly eight weeks on Thursday after strong economic data from the United States heightened concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve might soon begin rolling back its stimulus program. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down 19.03 points, or 0.14 percent, at 13,114.39. Six of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red.

Hey all, this is my first time trying to do something like this, so I have basically 0 experience, but things have been fun so far.
All of the armor I've made so far has been freehanded and cut out of sheet metal that's about 1mm thick.
The neck piece didn't look quite right to me, and after looking at pictures of Boba I realized I need to cut some metal off from the bottom of the plate to make things thinner.
In my intro thread I posted a jumpsuit that will be going under the vest, but I'll post it again to make things easier
Anyways, the build I'm going for is based off of Boba a lot, but as my title says, it's a custom suit, it's not supposed to be a Boba build.
I'm glad I decided to do this because it's been a blast so far, and I hope everyone can critique me and give me advice and opinions!
Thanks everyone

Oxygen Hot Yoga & Fitness
Running laps makes you sweaty, but so does sitting on the floor and giving a long, luxurious stretch. At least, that's the case at Oxygen Hot Yoga & Fitness—where, as its name implies, hot yoga is the house speciality. But unlike other studios that merely turn up the heat or practice on the rim of an active volcano, Oxygen uses far infra-red technology to raise body temperatures from the inside out. That's why no matter the focus of each class—from strengthening the core to increasing flexibility—they all boast the same heat-induced benefits. These include boosting circulation, smoothing cellulite, and flushing out toxins.

The Killing Lights, Featuring Michael Orlando Formerly of Vampires Everywhere!, Premiere New Song and Video, "Lies Spread Like Fire"
Michael Orlando, better known as Michael Vampire from Vampires Everywhere!, has a new project called The Killing Lights. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their music video for "Lies Spread Like Fire." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
The vocalist said, "I am beyond excited to finally release the 'Lies Spread Like Fire' music video. We all fight our own demons from time to time, and this video is about standing up after the fight. We shot the video in Hollywood, California. We wanted to keep the video raw as possible, which I feel we achieved using the L.A. street culture as the main storyline aesthetic. We had a great director in Will Da Rosa, who went above and beyond to bring my concept to life. We also had a great cast Jared Simms and Harper Leigh did an amazing job giving the two main characters a life of their own. This video is for the fans and people that have stuck with me this past year. Together we will change everything..."
