Jack, the Giant Killer (1987)
by Charles de Lint
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I really liked the opening chapter of this book. De Lint creates a wonderful picture of Jacky Rowan. Recently dumped for being too uninteresting she has spent the night drinking her sorrows away. But on her way home she comes across a strange scene; a gang of bikers hunting down a little man. But when she investigates further there is no trace of it ever having happened, apart from the man's red cap that she discovered on the ground.
This red cap is more than a head covering it. When she wears it Jacky discovers that she can see into a different world. The world of faerie, where hobgoblins and bogans live. Where the Wild Hunt are at the eck and call of the unseelie court and the seelie court are almost gone.
As I said, I really enjoyed the opening chapter of this. It was really well written and totally captured the character of Jacky. But for the most part the rest of this book seemed to move too quickly. All of a sudden Jacky is part of this other world. And suddenly she's a hero. Part of the reason for this is probably the fact that the book is a version of a fairy tale, where Jack, all of a sudden, finds himself with a magic beanstalk and a giant to do battle with. But I prefer a little bit more development in my books. Everything seemed to happen in great leaps forward. There was very little development here.
Still, it was an entertaining enough read. Even when de Lint isn't on the top of his game he is still very readable. It is a fun, easy to read book. But not one I'd really see myself rereading.
This was the second Charles De Lint book I ever read and it remains one of my favorites and that made me a fan of the author.
I like the sense of fun it has, the easy blending of the modern world and fantasy and even the fact that it was short. A lot of his books as he keeps on writing start to get longer and longer and feeling a bit dragged out. This one was just as long as it needed to be.
Jack, The Giant-Killer by Charles De Lint uses just a tad of the old Jack myth (well, it uses the name and the giant killing...) and lots of faeries in the cities, much like in Emma Bull's War for the Oaks. Like the last book it was interesting, but not all that exciting.

Radio On: A Listener's Diary
by Sarah Vowell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A critical examination, in diary form, of the state of radio in 1995. Vowell listened to the radio daily for the entire year and described what she heard and what it meant to her. The topics she discusses include Rush Limbaugh, the anniversary of the suicide of Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, the Oaklahoma City bombing, the opening of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, NPR, the NEA, Clinton era politics and much more.
This was Vowells first book. As usual her writing is intelligent, witty and insightful. While not as engrossing as her later works I'd still recommend this -- esp to music lovers and NPR listeners.
I really love Sarah Vowell. It's interesting to read this (I believe it was her first book) after reaing her more recent works. It is definitely less polished and while the journal style makes sense because of the book's concept, i think it restrained her too much leading to some pretty boring stretches.
However, as a music junkie, I really appreciated most of her commentary on the state of radio (around 1994-1995!) and found the book pretty entertaining as a time capsule from those years.
I'm sure any Sarah Vowell fan - or anyone who was listening to a lot of music in the mid-90's would enjoy this book.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312183011, Paperback)
There are approximately 502 million radios in America. For this savvy, far-reaching diary, celebrated journalist and author Vowell turned hers on and listened—closely, critically, creatively—for an entire year.
As a series of impressions and reflections regarding contemporary American culture, and as an extended meditation on both our media and our society, this keenly focused book is as insightful as it is refreshing.
Throughout Radio On, "Vowell's touch is about as delicate as Teddy Kennedy's after a pitcher of martinis" (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times).

I'm scheduled for my tummy tuck on June 19th. This is something I have been wanting for over 10 years. But luckily i waited because after 10 years got pregnant again. I have 3 daughters and a son. My son is 16 and my daughters are 13, 11, 2. I also have two step children I love as my own ages 13 and 10. I'm 5'3 and weight 139. I am currently at my heaviest ever. My husband loves to eat out and I like to please him.lol. I just turned 37 this month. I'm taking my vitamins and I am ready to get this over with. I am also getting a hernia repaired at same time as Tt.
7 weeks po
I'm scheduled for my tummy tuck on June 19th. This...
Pictures of my flab
I like to wear fitted clothing and for the past year I have noticed I now have a muffin top I can't get rid off. My daughter once asked me why I was sticking out my tummy and I told her I wasn't. She asked why I was so bloated. Well I must still be bloated cuz it never went away. I can loose weight fast when I diet or exercise but from the wrong places. My boobs are the first to go flat then I also loose weight from my face. Can't believe I'm finally doing this. I do worry about scar being too high. Doctor did say my belly button is to high and that the skin around my belly button is to thin so I might need a vertical scar as well. I really hope I don't. I have seen some pictures on this website of how that might look and it doesn't look that bad but I rather not have it. And if I do need it I hope it looks as good as the pictures I've seen if not better. I'm 6 days away, any advice for preop?
2 more days
Can't believe I am two days away from my surgery. This morning I forgot to take my vitamins and I feel fatigue. I hadn't notice how the vitamins were actually helping with energy. I am taking prenatal vitamin, vitamin c, zinc, iron, and B complex. I will start taking the arnica today and wait to take the bromelain until after surgery. I hate taking pills. The make me nauseated. I did not buy stool Softner but I am eating papaya every morning. It help me stay regular. I hope that is enough for after surgery. I went grocery shopping and I will be making some no sodium cabbage soup. I read the cabbage also helps with constipation. Bought apple sauce, salad, salmon, and chicken breast. I will be making a lot of soup and will freeze. Also bought pineapple and plan on eatting it these next few days. My parents lend me this lawn chair that is like a recliner. I think it will help to sleep in. It reclines back. Posted a picture. My sectional sofa has recliners but I think I will make too much force to get it where I want it. I also borrowed some granny pajamas from my mom. The type that is a knee length with snap on buttons all the way down. Think that will help first few days. Let me know if you have any advice as to what else to buy.
Haven't gotten any sleep
Ok well I have always had problems with sleeping but just seems like this past few days has been worse. It doesn't help that my hubby leaves at 4 am to work. I always have a hard time going back to sleep. I have been taking melatonin and doesn't help at all. I even think I sleep less. I have been worrying about how i am going to react to cut and blood. Luckily my husband will be helping me with the drains and cleaning up my wounds. Yesterday was a productive day. Lots of cleaning. Helps that I'm off for the summer. My kids helped out that was great and made cleaning up easier and faster. Today ill be cleaning the bathrooms (yuck!), showers, and mopping. My son has volunteered to help. Finishing up the laundry and making some soup for the next few days and to freeze for later. My 3 older kids will be with their dad (my ex) and my little one will be going to my moms tonight until Thursday. That was my moms choice. My husband actually wanted to take her with us to surgery but no kids are aloud.lol. It is going to be hard not being able to carry her. And she loves to climb into my lap. Hopefully that won't be a problem. Don't want her to feel Iike mommy doesn't love her.
3 days post op
Made it through surgery, thank God! Didn't even see when they gavel te anesthesia. Just remember being in a room with nurse then being awaken for recovery. This past two days have been hard on me. I depend on my husband a lot. He is so wonderful and I don't know what I would of done without him. The soreness has gone down a little but I still feel swollen. It's hard to sit down or lay down without help and also need help when getting up. To my surprise I have been sleeping well at night on my own bed. I have a huge pillow behind head and 2 pillows under knees. I wasn't able to eat well first two days but I have been eating much more today since doctor told me I needed to eat to recover faster. Also had been nauseated so I wasn't taking my vitamins either. Started taking them and I think that's why now I have an appetite. I'll try to take pictures next time my hubby changes dressings. I get weak when he does that so I have only taken a few peaks. I think it looks good. Don't know why but I only got one drain. My doctor is out of town and she told me to call Monday to her office to give them the number of cc's I have drained. She said that when I hit the magic number the nurse will remove. I haven't been draining much and she said that was fine. My mom doesn't want to return me my daughter.lol she is afraid she will hurt me. She said she would bring her tomorrow if I'm feeling better. I did buy a female urinal and that has been very helpful. I'm taking arnica and bromelain. My husband says I don't have much bruising so far. I didn't need vertical cut after all but dr said since area is super tight I have to be extra careful and prescribed a cream to put on my scars cuz she said my skin is going through stress. I did notice my skin looking kind of funny between scar and bb. I think it is the thin skin I used to have above my old bb. My husband goes back to work next Thursday. I really hope I can get up and sit down on my own by then. I haven't taken a shower. I'm afraid ill feel to weak and faint. Also even tho I hate how thight the cg feels I don't want to take it off cuz I have this feeling like if my intestines will come out or something, weird.
Feeling better
I didn't sleep well last night but still doing better than yesterday. I have only been taking pain medication once a day right before going to bed. I thought it was helping me sleep well but not sure what happened last night. I probably only sleep about a full hour throughout the day. I've been eating Greek yogurt, salmon, soy beans, grilled chicken, salad, and pineapple. Eat little every few hours and only have salmon or grilled chicken once a day. I've been going to restroom regularly if not more than often. I only had papaya day of surgery and it still seems to be working. Haven't taken any stool softeners or laxatives. Which I'm really surprised since I'm taking so many vitamins including iron twice a day. Hate the black stool. I hate crotch area of cg. I have a huge butt and I had to cut the crotchless area bigger. Hate how it fits in that area. I feel tiny and love my results. I have weight about 138-139 past few months and I think I had gained weight but hadn't gotten on scale. Today my mom brought me a scale and I was at 131. Still walking hunched over and walking slowly. Always sit in recliner position. I'm wondering if I can sit in a normal chair. Dr said not to sit in 90 degree angle. I was lucky to only get one drain. The dr is out of town but I'm suppose to call doctors office today to give my total daily cc's. once I hit magic # nurse will remove drain. It doesn't bother me at all and I think having it is good to remove blood clots. Still haven't showered and surprised I actually still feel clean. Even my hair.
I got my drains removed today
I got my drains removed today. It had been clogged up for the past two days. My doctor is out of town so the nurse pulled them out. She warned me that it would be painful due to it being clogged up. On her first attempt she pulled and nothing came out but the feeling was so terrible it bent me forward. I could feel the drain go toward hips then up right below breast. I told her I was scared to give me a few seconds. She did and told me you are lucky the doctor is not here she would of just kept pulling. It finally came out around the fourth attempt. Thanked God it was finally out. I also told her how cg was terrible on my crotch area. Luckily she had a special ordered cg bathing suit type that is bigger from bottom. Fit so much better. This one has buttons to the crotch area. Also informed her I got a hemorrhoid :-(. When i would try going to restroom tge darn cg was so thight it would close my cheeck (tmi). It's so painful. She called doctor and approved of over counter medication. Still needing help getting up from bed and couch and getting on. I do a little on own but still need the back support. My hauls band went back to work yesterday. My mom has been great staying over to care for me and kids. However she doesn't provide the strength support my husband provides in helping in an out of bed/couch. But still she is awesome for helping. I don't have much pain. Mostly just scared of hurting muscle repair or surgery cut. That's all for now praying all my tummy tuck sisters are healing well.
Things will get better
Things will get better, eventually. That's what I keep telling myself but then something else always seems to come up. I went to my 2nd post op appt on Wednesday. Dr took out some fluid near the incision and gave prescribed antibiotic due to having pus and scar being a different color not sure if she said purple. I felt better just knowing that I was going to be antibiotics and thought things can only get better now. Wrong! The next day I had a hole on my incision. I was so scared and text dr who reassured me that it wasn't a big deal. She asked me to put a mixture of bleach, saline water, and baking soda on gauze and pack hole. I had to make this because it being 4th of July pharmacies were closed or about to close and wouldn't do it. Just the thought of all this was stressing me out. I had been on minimal activity and cg 24/7 as per dr but when this happened she said I could not start walking a little bit more and that I could take of cg for short periods. She said I could also use a cg that didn't have as much compression as the one I was currently using. Luckily I had the one I purchased last week that was less tight and more comfortable in crotch area. So now I have this hole that is draining. I'm so paranoid of it opening more or not healing quick. I am so blessed to have a husband that is changing dressings for me. I don't know what I would of done without him. I have been very emotional this past weeks. Sometimes I wonder if all this really is worth it. I feel so dependent of everyone. I hate that. I hate that I'm walking slow and hunched over. I hate that I got infection and hole. I hate that my mom is having to care for my 2 year old just because mommy wanted to look and feel better by getting Tt. I keep praying to God (my healer, my doctor, my daddy, my strength, my redeemer...) to help me with all that I am going through. He provides me strength mentally and physically to endure all this. I turn to Him for all my needs and always asking for His will and not mine. God has been so great in my life and has never let me down. I pray that I feel better by Sunday to start going to church again. I want to thank all of the June ttuckes that are praying for me. Love ya all and God bless!
Post op appt
I want to my 3rf post op appt yesterday. Dr said hole is healing well. My small hole is now quarter size :-(. It diguises me to see it. She told me to continue sitting in recliner position due to the hole. I wish it would hurry and heal. Did anyone get a hole on incision? Any tips on making it heal faster?
More pics
After surgery I was a little disappointed that I had fat rolls on my back right below bra. Since then I have lost weight and so happy they are gone. I'm happy with results. I just wish the hole would heal faster. Just seems like I haven't noticed any changes but dr says its healing well. I'm feeling much better. Have had some outings. I am still eat watching what I eat but eating more because I don't want to loose too much weight. I went from 140 to currently 123.
7 weeks PO
Doing great! I finally can say that I am back to normal. I'm sleeping on my sides again, able to workout, and sooooooo happy my hole is gone. It closed up about 2 weeks ago. My scar area is taped up. And will have to have it that way for 6 months. I did develop some keloid scars in bb area so I'm using silicone tape there. Not so happy about that but not the end of the world. I am liking the shape of my bb. I'm so loving my new tummy and the way I look. Love that i can wear fitted clothing and not worry about muffin top. Now having trouble with shirts fitting big.lol. I've been doing some walking and squats. Doing little at a time. Still eating healthy but I have started to eat out some and sometimes have indulged in junk food. I haven't swelled too much and when I do It's not that bad.

Hey all,
Finally got my Nameless Performance catted/divorced dp and CAI in! Installed the CAI myself, and have a date set to install the dp and do a protune at the same time. When I spoke with COBB, they were really worried about tuning my car with the intake because they were almost certain I'd have boost creep issues. They recommended going EWG. Here's the issue: I can't stand the sound of EWG on my daily
I was under the impression that by going a catted, divorced dp, I should be OK as far as boost creep goes. COBB stated my only options are to go EWG or ditch the intake. I like the intake; with a stage 1+ tune you could feel the difference in the lower end vs stock intake and stage 1 tune, and call me immature, but I like the sound it makes too. Are there any alternative ways to prevent boost creep other than EWG? Or am I stuck taking off my intake and selling it? All I have mod-wise now are Nameless Performance catback, and aforementioned Nameless catted dp and intake. Any help is appreciated; thanks!

It was an up-and-down season for Palm Beach, but they finished on a high note, taking four of five from first-half South Division winner St. Lucie.
As it turned out, Scruggs didn't need any extra at-bats. The right-handed slugger hit his 21st homer of the season, to the opposite field, in his first at-bat leading off the game.
For Aguayo, though, the most important statistic from this season is 17, the number of players promoted to Double-A.
"We always get happy when we send someone to Double-A," Aguayo said.
Nearly all of those promoted players stuck with the Springfield team and one, right-handed pitcher Maikel Cleto, continued to move up, to Triple-A Memphis and then the major-league Cardinals.
Cleto was 1-1 with a 2.48 ERA in five starts with Palm Beach, but has held his own in the upper levels with a 7-5 record so far.
Aguayo talked about the season following Palm Beach's season finale, a 4-1 win over the Mets in Port St. Lucie on Sunday. In that game, the manager mentioned Shelby Miller, Joe Kelly, John Gast and Jordan Swagerty as other key pitchers who were successfully promoted.
"It was nice to see them do well, and they're still doing well," Aguayo said.
Among position players promoted, last year's first-round pick Zack Cox has had the best season, hitting .294 so far in Springfield after posting a .335 average in 34 games for Palm Beach. Cox has hit fairly consistently since his first game in a Cardinals uniform last August in the Gulf Coast League.
Unlike Cox, the Palm Beach was inconsistent all season. They started 5-14 en route to a 29-40 first half.
"With a young team, it took us a little while to get on track," Aguayo said.
They rallied, however, winning nine of 10 at one point in mid-August, including seven in a row, to thrust themselves into the second-half pennant race. At their high-water mark after winning 2 of 3 from the Jupiter Hammerheads, they had pulled to within two games of first-place Bradenton in the South Division with 14 games remaining.
"When we got into that streak, we were executing everything," Aguayo said.
No sooner were they in the race, though, they fell back out with a 2-7 stretch against Bradenton and Jupiter, which at that time was bolstered by four rehabbing major-leaguers, including Hanley Ramirez (4-for-11 against Palm Beach).
Aguayo said as well as his team was executing in the previous win streak, they stopped. "We eliminated ourselves from the race because we didn't execute," he said.
"For our staff, it was a little tougher than last year," Aguayo said. "We had more talent (this season), but younger players, who require more time, more education and more coaching. Some of them took it, and some didn't."
He added, "When you have young players, it's going to take longer."
Aguayo said he and his staff had to be more patient this year, but he said that patience will pay off.
"In the long run, these kids are going to be better players," Aguayo said. "We sacrificed some wins, but we showed patience in player development by letting them fail, then teaching them."
Despite showing flashes of brilliance with great stuff, including a fastball that can touch 100 mph, Martinez was the epitome of inconsistency, striking out the side one inning and walking in runs the next.
"He's young with a powerful arm, but he needs to grow up and learn how to pitch," Aguayo said. "Right now, he's learning to control his body. He needs to repeat his delivery and release."
Among the other pitchers who finished the season with Palm Beach, Aguayo named starter Tyler Lyons and relievers Keith Butler and Justin Wright as those with the best chances to reach the big leagues.
And he added one more. "My sleeper is Jesse Simpson," he said. Simpson was a 40th-round pick in 2009 who started the season in Springfield, but was sent to Palm Beach on June 4. He struggled at first with Palm Beach, but his numbers improved significantly as the season wore on, as he finished with a 6-1 record and 1.54 ERA in the FSL. Simpson, who throws a sinker and slider with a lot of movement, allowed 40 hits and 18 walks while fanning 40 in 46-2/3 relief innings with Palm Beach.
"They all played hard," Aguayo said. "They gave me their best and that's all I can ask for."

Warren Gerds/Critic at Large: Door County youth troupe taking on 'columbinus'
PHOTO: StageKids Theatre cast members rehearse for "columbinus." The scene depicts the library of
StageKids Theatre is in the midst of a demanding project in the performance of "columbinus," which includes words and events surrounding the shootings at
Four performances of "columbinus" will be presented Friday through Sunday, April 25-27, at Third Avenue Playhouse. Info: www.thirdavenueplayhouse.com. The play is not recommended for children age 12 and younger because of strong language and depictions of violence. Following each performance, community leaders will take to the stage to talk with the audience and cast about the many issues raised in the play.
The lineup:
- 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 25: Sheila Saperstein, Michelle Geiger-Bronsky, Shirley Senarighi and Rudy Senarighi.
- 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26: Bob Lindahl.
- 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 26: Cheryl Pfister and
- 2 p.m. Sunday, April 27: Sheila Saperstein, Jeanne Kuhns, Cheryl Pfister and Peggy Sue Dunigan.
In the cast are Josh Augustson, Sturgeon Bay High School; Jacob Barbercheck, Sevastopol; Jemma Benton, Sevastopol; Dominic DiCarlo, Sevastopol; Sophia Friedenfels, Gibraltar; Michaela Kraft, Southern Door; Connor McClelland, Southern Door; Isaiah Spetz, Sevastopol; Samantha Spohn, Sevastopol; Hadley Takashi, Gibraltar; and Dylan Thornton, Sevastopol.
Director Robert Boles says, "In part, the play deals with the events at
While high school students perform in this production of "columbinus," high schools at large would think twice about mounting the play. The content of the piece and the language prevent a lot of schools from doing it.
Cast member Michaela Kraft says, "Some people are excited about that and are coming for that. Some people are a little more wary, but I think everyone is curious about it at least."
Robert Boles says, "This is not your typical high school play. The language is very rough, and the violence depicted, although not explicit, is unsparing. It is not just that, of course. It is a highly theatrical stylized piece that also has a large dose of humor and pathos."
StageKids Theatre is a training/educational/performance arm of Third Avenue Playhouse, which has Robert Boles and James Valcq as co-artistic directors. The theater is multifaceted and includes the small Studio Theatre within it that has put on professional productions that are earning the venture growing respect and attention.
Robert Boles directed "columbinus" in the past when he taught at the
He says, "I picked the play because the students at the university weren't really very politically active and weren't really involved in current events. And then Virginia Tech happened, that horrible thing at Virginia Tech (the slaying of 32 people). The day after, the students came into class, color drained from their face, and could not talk about anything else because this hit home to them, that 'This could happen to me. I could have been in that dorm room or that classroom.' And then I found a copy of the script. I just had an informal reading with students, and they took to it like a duck to water because the play is comprised of interviews of high school students from around the country. All the dialogue is authentic. They were thrilled to be playing people who were like themselves, like people they knew, people they dealt with on a daily basis. So they just dove into it. Ever since then, I thought, well, it's not done in high schools very often mainly because of the content of the play. The language is pretty rough at times. The images are fairly violent. But it is about growing up in high school today, and it is a play with high school students. Once I came here to
Robert Boles says it's coincidental that the performances fall in the 15th anniversary period of the Columbine shootings. "That was the fluke of the calendar," he says. "There are only a couple of windows of opportunity up here if you're going to do something with high school students. They get involved in sports, forensics, math club. They divide their time around all these different activities all the time."
Michaela Kraft, a sophomore at Southern Door High School, is involved in forensics, National Honor Society and the school musical; she is a park volunteer with her mother; and she's in StageKids Theatre. She performed in StageKids' "The Littlest Angel" and in the adult Stage Door Theatre Company's "The House of Blue Leaves."
Michaela Kraft's attraction to "columbinus": "I think because it was so different and because the things that the characters go through in this, somebody can relate to something. It's like no matter who you are, you can relate to something that somebody's going through. And the message that you leave with is one that's really powerful."
The play was written by Stephen Karam and PJ Paparelli, with contributions of others. "columbinus" premiered in
"columbinus" includes excerpts from discussions with parents, survivors and community leaders as well as diaries and home video footage.
Robert Boles says, "These are interviews of high school students that were taken from everywhere, and the interviews were done by guidance counselors and psychologists for the sole purpose of finding out what is on students' minds, what are they going through on a daily basis. Really, more than half of this play is not about Columbine at all. It is about a group of high school students going through the day from the time they wake up to the time they leave school and what they go through, how they're treated, how they treat other people and most importantly, with each one of them, we go into their minds and find out what they're thinking at any given moment during the course of the play. So a lot of these thoughts and actions are uncensored.
"I read about plays like the musical 'Rent' and several others that high schools try to do and for one reason or another people get nervous about the content and all that. This is definitely a rare opportunity for the students to come here to do a kind of play that maybe they wouldn't necessarily do in high school. They would do either high school musicals or comedies. High schools tend to stay away from more dramatic pieces. Not all the time, but primarily you'll see either comedies or musicals. Musicals especially because you can get the most people excited and involved with a musical and that's what's great about high school musicals. But this gives students an added opportunity. This really just supplements what the schools are giving because the arts programs, you know, all over the country are pretty much slashed. So we hope to at least fill a niche for those people who want to go further in their arts education."
Michaela Kraft says rehearsals are more intense than other plays she's been in. "We really care about the details," she says. "We don't just try to get through it. We try to make sure it's right and it's really good."
Robert Boles says, "For me as a director, they know more about these people than I ever would. I mean, I'm here to merely guide and shape and help them along. But as far as characterization goes, I have to sit back because they are much more expert on who these people are."
In preparing this article in various stages, any person I told about this production – putting "Columbine" and "play" in the same sentence – had an immediate reaction. Columbine is a lightning bolt for people who were around when it happened. The cast members give Robert Boles a different perspective.
He says, "Most of them they didn't live through Columbine. They were babies or not even born when it happened. I told them at the first reading, 'You know, I couldn't count on my right hand the number of mass killings or things like this happening when I was your age. How many can you think of?' And suddenly they were, oh, this one, this one. It's part of their life. I mean, God forbid this never happens or comes close to happening up here, but it's certainly in the back of their mind, everybody's mind. They're aware of it. School administrators are aware of it. It's part of growing up and kind of adding to what other stresses that they're going through in their lives."
In the play, Michaela Kraft plays Faith, the good girl.
She says, "She's religious, and people think she's naïve but there's a lot more to her than that… She has a line that says she's like everybody else. With Faith, I just want people who don't fall in the extremes, the so-called normal people, to know that somebody else knows what they're going through and that's just as hard as everybody else."
Parents of everybody in the cast signed releases for participation.
Robert Boles says, "When we had auditions, I made sure all the parents, all the families of the students participating, knew exactly what they were getting involved in – gave them copies of the script if they wanted it. I told them, for instance, their children will be saying any word you can imagine your child saying – that you don't want them to say – they will probably say at some point. There is no graphic violence per se in the piece. It's all pretty abstractly done, but still the spoken images are very distinct and out there. So I just wanted to make sure the parents had a clear understanding of what was going on."
Michaela Kraft says of her parents, "Luckily, they're very supportive of whatever role I'm playing. They are aware of the content, but they are not aware of how it's used, so they're not going to make any judgments about it until they see it."
Robert Boles says, "As far as the rest of the community, I have absolutely no idea. You know, some people can't get past language, for instance, and I put no judgments on that. That's just the way some people are. I imagine I'll hear a little flak about that. I'm hoping that mostly people will see the reason why. We're not doing it just for shock value. We're doing it to show that this is the way these students think and act and talk amongst themselves and if we put our heads in the sand and try to believe that is not happening then we're just helping, creating a problem. I'm hoping for that kind of honesty. I found that to be true in
From his experience in
He says, "This play is subtitled, 'A Theatrical Discussion.' It was designed to not give any answers. Like I said, half of it's about high school, the other half is about Columbine, and Columbine just simply is put there as perhaps a worst-case scenario. If we allow the kids growing up to act and behave and go through what they're going through. this is a probable consequence of not really paying attention to what's going on. So it's called 'A Theatrical Discussion.' Simply meant, the play lays out as best it can in theatrical terms – and I don't mean to imply that this play is not entertaining, there actually are some very funny, entertaining moments with in this play as well – but it lays out the facts, yet in a very theatrical way, and after the play I've invited several community leaders to come up on stage and to give their point of view. I have psychologists, teachers, people who work with the police, coming up here, giving their point of view about the issues the play raises, to help the audience ask questions… or just to express themselves. I found from doing 'columbinus' in
The project of "columbinus" is like a mirror ball – so many angles, so many individual reflections.
One reflection is the core aim, expressed by Robert Boles: "For most if not all of these students (in the cast), it represents the first time they have been involved in a play that reflects their lives today. They recognize the characters as themselves or people they know very well. Plus, the play has a timeliness and importance attached to it that they also respond to."
Another reflection may be of the unknown, a story about which Robert Boles tells from his experience in
"At the end of the play, the names of the 13 students who were killed at Columbine were projected all over the theater. After the talkback, this kid came up and he was crying and could barely speak because he was crying so hard. And he asked to see the cast. I got the cast there, and he pointed up to one of the names and said, 'That was my friend.' I'm in

Alison Rubin, Director of Harmony Yoga, E-RYT 500
My first experience of yoga was in 1972, the same year I moved from England to Southern California. I studied with a variety of teachers in California for 12 years and started teaching in Spokane in 1984, and I am now registered as an E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance. I have had the opportunity to take trainings with many excellent instructors over the years, especially those from the Iyengar and Anusara traditions.
My teaching style is eclectic, with a strong emphasis on precision of alignment and philosophy. I love to weave the philosophy of yoga into my classes and endeavor to practice moment by moment awareness in my life. In addition to teaching weekly classes, I direct a yearly RYT 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training Program. We are now accepting Applications for the 2018 training with starts at the end of January. For further information or questions, I can be reached at (509) 747-4430.
Erin Wert, E-RYT 200
My exploration into yoga began in 2001 with Alison Rubin and I am a graduate of the 200-hour teacher training at Harmony Yoga. The serenity and joy I experienced after practice instantly drew me in and I continued to study with Alison for a number of years. Her focus on alignment melded with yogic philosophy set the foundation for the strong practice I now have.
In 2008 I began studying Forrest Yoga, an intense and therapeutic practice that truly resonated with my body. It was through this practice that I began to uncover that place of wisdom that resides within each of us. I find the subject of yoga infinitely fascinating and continue to practice Forrest Yoga, as well as Vinyasa Flow, Bikram and Iyengar-based yoga. My style of teaching incorporates an eclectic mix of core work, breath awareness and vinyasa flow – a moving meditation to access the mind-body-spirit connection. I can be reached at email@example.com or (509) 981-8809.
Neely Wadden, RYT 200
I committed myself to an almost daily yoga practice after learning that I was pregnant for the first time in 2007. I wanted to do all that I could to feel vibrant and healthy throughout my pregnancy. Little did I know that I was beginning an amazing journey which would inspire my own body and mind and call me to lead others as a conduit of Yoga. I continued practicing Yoga both at home and through Harmony Yoga because my body grew strong and felt better than it had in years, and I was learning to calm my mind and extend a sense of kindness toward myself and others in a way that I had never known. I began to think of how I could share this with others. After the birth of my second child in 2011, I began teaching Prenatal Yoga, having trained specifically in prenatal and postnatal yoga at the Seattle Holistic Center. Teaching yoga and establishing a community through my classes nourishes me in so many ways. I have since earned my RYT-200 through Harmony Yoga and am passionate about bringing all levels of yoga to my students. More information about my offerings can be found at www.neelysyoga.com. Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or just to say hello at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Katie Laughlin, RYT 200
I took my first yoga class in 2000 and soon realized that this practice would become a lifelong one. I loved walking out of that class feeling both energized and relaxed, a strange but delightful combination. Though I first came to yoga looking for strength, flexibility and a new way to challenge my body, I've stayed with the practice out of an ongoing curiosity and search into the depths of this compassionate and loving tradition. I still marvel that a single session on my mat can leave me strong and centered within my body, while still calm and peaceful within my heart. My practice has deepened over the years and I completed the 200-hr Teacher Training at Harmony in 2012s. I am registered with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to share the practice of yoga with others. I hope my students leave each class with that same sense of ease and vitality that greeted me so long ago. I can be reached at (509) 710-6521.
Nina Volostnova, RYT 200
I started yoga with Alison Rubin in 2008. After my first class I fell in love with the practice. It was challenging, invigorating and calming all at the same time. I watched Alison move with beauty and grace in her demos and was taken back but the precision of her instruction. It was in my very first class I felt the desire to teach. Within the last 5 years I have practiced in a variety of different studios and different styles. I have completed a 200 hour vinyasa training and have completed the Teacher Training Certification at Harmony Yoga. In my teaching I blend principles of alignment and precision into the choreography of a vinyasa (flow) style class. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (509) 570-6483, light and peace.
Tim Wichland, RYT 500
I took my first yoga series in college, in Missoula, in 1999. Over the next several years, yoga classes were the TLC my
body needed as an organic farmer in New Hampshire. The practice has been a growing thread in my life since college, but in 2010 I
decided take it deeper & pursued becoming a yoga teacher while also developing my personal practice. I have had experience with
Hatha, Iyengar, Kripalu, Vinyasa, Kundalini, & Power Yoga; but the heart centered philosophy & Principles of Alignment of the
Anusara method really grabbed my attention. I took the Anusara Immersions 1-3, Teacher Training 1 & assisted my teachers in Santa Fe, NM
during 2011-12. All the while attending workshops, trainings, and lots of yoga classes with some amazing senior teachers & scholars,
including John Friend (founder of the Anusara method). I received my RYT-500 certification in the fall of 2015. I offer much gratitude to all of my teachers on the journey of yoga.

Gwen Martin, RYT 200
For the past 23 years, my passion to help others live a healthier and more active lifestyle has been my career and purpose. My search to find a better means of transformative fitness led me from personal trainer to pilates teacher, and finally to the study of yoga. With over 2,000 hours of pilates training and 3 certifications, I was ready to embark on a more spiritual path of movement. Having experienced many types of yoga over the past 10 years, it wasn't until I enrolled in Alison's Teacher Training Program this year that I began to understand the true meaning of mind, body and soul union. As a graduate of the 200 hour teacher training at Harmony Yoga I'm honored to share in each person's journey of self discovery. I hope to inspire others to embrace compassion, grace and gratitude through yoga. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Brenda Smits, RYT 200
Shortly after moving to Spokane several years ago, I discovered Harmony Yoga. I found the studio and Alison warm and inviting. In 2014 I participated in the Teacher Training at Harmony and received my RYT-200. Upon completing this training, I began teaching Restorative Yoga at Harmony. Restorative Yoga is for everyone at every level; a way to care for ourselves and counteract the all too common stresses of our everyday lives. The use of props to completely support the body, with gentle attention placed on the breath, allows for total relaxation. In addition to Restorative Yoga classes, I enjoy teaching Gentle, Basics, 50+ and Intermediate Yoga classes. You may also see me attending yoga classes led by the talented instructors at Harmony yoga. I appreciate the opportunity to share my teachings in a welcoming and relaxed environment. I can be reached at email@example.com.
Kate Cornwall , RYT 200
I began practicing yoga at age 17 and shortly thereafter settled into regular classes at Harmony Yoga. My practice continued in college throughout the West Coast, taking classes rooted in Iyengar, Anusara, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa traditions. After over 10 years of experience as a practitioner, I wanted to share my love of yoga with others. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Harmony Yoga in 2014 with Alison Rubin and other teachers from the Spokane area, and an additional Vinyasa teacher training at the Union with Kelly Thielbahr.
I have an extensive background in physical movement. I began dancing at age 4 and continue to dance and teach around the Spokane area. As a method of conditioning for dance, I found a combination of Pilates and Yoga helped me to rehabilitate and prevent injury. I completed my Pilates mat, reformer, and barre teacher training to work with dancers and share the methods that worked for me. I believe that alignment and muscle control are the pillars of any physical activity. My objectives are to help students of all ages and physical capability find their best alignment and maintain that with stabilizing and functional muscle work. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lauren Merrithew, RYT 200, RCYT
I began practicing yoga with Alison when I was struggling to regain health and balance within my body. Practicing yoga, breath work and meditation brought immense change and set me on an incredible path of healing, growth, and transformation--helping me move beyond injuries and continue my healing process with grace. I discovered kids yoga at a yoga festival while completing my 200-hr Teacher Training at Harmony Yoga. Inspired, I enrolled for kids yoga teacher trainings shortly thereafter, completing trainings with Semperviva Yoga, in Vancouver B.C. and "Imagination Yoga" in Portland, Oregon. I am now a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT) through Yoga Alliance.
I continually seek to expand my knowledge in order to enrich my practice and students' experiences. My focus is to increase mindfulness and deep core strength utilizing the breath, while providing students of all ages with opportunities to cultivate kindness, compassion, concentration and gratitude through movement. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and (509) 279- 4472, for questions or for privates with children or adults.
Anna Molgard, RYT 200
I trained at the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica and the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in New York. I am a certified trauma-sensitive yoga therapist and studied Restorative Yoga with Judith Hanson Lasiter. Currently, I am pursuing an 800-hour Professional Yoga Therapy designation with Integrative Yoga Therapy.
My teaching style is a blend of traditional hatha yoga and yoga therapeutics. I endeavor always to create a safe environment for my students and I am skilled at offering options for students of all levels. I can be reached at email@example.com.
Glen Garcia
My first encounter with Eastern philosophy was in 1994. It was also my first experience of resonance, where I felt like I was remembering rather than simply learning the material. A part of me was awakened that I didn't even knew existed to that point. The path I was following no longer held appeal and I left college to travel. In addition to living in and visiting many different places throughout the US, Hawaii, Mexico, and Central America for the next twelve years, I was introduced to Tai Chi in 1998 and yoga in 2000. A few years later, I completed the 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training and became a Pranassage Practitioner through the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. I taught yoga and facilitated movement experiences throughout the US and Central America and was also attuned to the Reiki Master level. That and various other trainings took place at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, among many other communities, learning and retreat centers I visited and lived in throughout my travels.
In 2008, I earned a degree from Naropa University in Contemplative Psychology, which is a blend of Western Psychology (emphasis on Somatic Psychology) with Eastern Philosophy and practices. Following graduation, I completed a 1 ½ year course of study with the Coaches Training Institute and became a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach. Coaching, teaching and facilitating groups fulfills a strong passion of mine, being of service to others. Supporting and empowering my client/student co-creators to learn, grow, and find a deep sense of fulfillment in their lives is a great pleasure and a blessing for which I am tremendously grateful!

dog whistle
We have one neighbor we dont quite get along with. For years their kida constantly play in our yard and damage our property even though we constantly ask them not to tresspass. They hit our windows with balls, destroy our plants, break our security lights constantly, even shot our house with a beebee gun. The father is polite, but the mother seems to support their actions. She thinks its cute. We now have a 13 week old gsd. At certain hours when we take her out to pee, she will focus all her attention on this neighbors house. She will stare straight at it. Then eventually she will mull us to death. There will be noises at other neighbors and it doesnt bother her. Only our problem neighbor. Also, the only person she ever barks at is the mother over there. My husband insists they must have a dog whistle and uses it to provoke her. Is this possible?

Are you saying that you don't want to begin your transition until sometime net yr? (after your senior yr of hs?) If so, then this would mean that you will continue to get relaxers up until that time. If you actually plan to stop getting relaxers now, you will be beginning your transition immediately. Transitioning begins when you stop relaxing your hair, regardless of how you style or maintain it. The transition will be intimate regardless of what you do because only you can determine when, if, and how long it will last. Only you can place a significance value on it that in itself, makes it an intimate experience.
You can still straighten your hair when transitioning and even once you are completely natural. There are some naturals who only where their hair straight, and that is ok if that is what they want to do. It sounds like you want to continue to wear straight hair, but without chemicals. I would suggest you begin by taking good care of my hair (moisturizing, deep treatments etc) and definitely use heat protectants for straightening. Then trim as you go along until all the permed ends are gone. I personally would not want to do this only because of my FEAR of damage/breakage. However, I have a BFF who only wears her hair flat ironed and has done so for years. Her hair is long, thick, and appears to be healthy. HTH, Good luck

Contrary to my collegues beliefs I have avoid use of specialized

to represent moments of forces.
In the following link there is a package for drawing curved arrows.
Does Mathematica 5.2 has a command for drawing curved arrows or I have
to consult to this package?
BTW, just for information; what about version 6? Does it support

Why College Accreditation Matters
Before you decide to attend a college, one very important question to ask the college is: "Are you accredited?"
Accreditation assures you that:
- Teaching includes analytical, communication, and other basic "life long learning" college skills; expertise in the major field; and additional courses needed for the type of education it offers.
- Student learning is assessed.
- Federal funds for students are available to students of colleges accredited by federally recognized accreditors.
- Resources, funding and services, such as faculty, equipment and student services, are available as needed.
- Credit transfer and degree acceptance by employers and other colleges will probably be facilitated because a college's accreditation is usually considered in such matters.
- Management is performed by appropriate staff.
- Experts are used in reviewing the college, such as professors and college presidents.
Not all colleges and universities are accredited by agencies recognized by the federal government. The most common type of accreditation of degree-granting colleges, from community colleges to large universities, is called "regional accreditation." Each regional accreditor covers the colleges in one region of the U.S. Their Web sites list all colleges accredited by them and give other information such as the current status of the college's accreditation and its degrees, students and other locations.
The seven U.S.regional accreditors are:
- Middle States Commission on Higher Education
- New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Commission on Institutions of Higher Education
- North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, the Higher Learning Commission
- Northwest Association of Schools and of Colleges and Universities, Commission on Colleges and Universities
- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
Specific programs within a college may also be accredited by special accreditors.
By Jean Morse, president of the Middle States Commission of Higher Education, one of the accreditation groups.

'"He tried to get me the last game, but we didn't have as many defensemen so I wasn't fighting him then," said Campbell, who dropped the gloves for the first time in his six-year NHL career and earned his inaugural major penalty. "I don't think I'm cut out for it. It's something different for me, but I don't think I'll be making a career out of it anytime soon."'

A Recipe from First Lady Michelle Obama's Cookbook "American Grown"
By Michelle Edelbaum, "The First Cookbook," March/April 2012
Healthy recipes and easy garden plans inspire eating well in this new cookbook.
As she's done for the last three years, First Lady Michelle Obama is getting her hands dirty sowing seeds in the White House kitchen garden this spring. When Mrs. Obama began envisioning a garden during the 2008 presidential campaign, "it was just a pipe dream," she said. "And then it started unfolding in a way that I couldn't have imagined, where we've produced thousands of pounds of food." The garden was one of the first efforts in her "Let's Move" campaign to help kids eat healthier, exercise more and encourage food manufacturers to offer healthier options. Mrs. Obama tells the story of the garden, including how daughters Sasha and Malia helped inspire its creation, in her new book American Grown (Crown, May 2012). The book features easy garden plans and mouthwatering recipes from White House chefs. Here she shares White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford's recipe for one of the season's first crops.

Another day, another outing for Katie Holmes and daughter Suri in New York.
And one thing is for sure: The media is watching Holmes' every move. After all, it was just a week ago that the actress, 33, filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, 50.
It's no surprise that she is No. 1 on USA TODAY's Celebrity Heat Index, which measures media exposure, this week. Nearly every celebrity magazine and news site is following this story with great interest.
Today, mom and daughter were photographed at Children's Museum of the Arts. It was a familiar sight as Suri , 6,wrapped herself around her smiling mother.
Earlier, Holmes made headlines as Elle magazine released details from an interview it had with the actress six weeks before she made the announcement about the divorce. In the piece, she is quoted as saying, "I'm starting to come into my own. It's like a new phase."

English hospitals under-report surgical site infections, survey showsBMJ 2013; 346 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.f345 (Published 16 January 2013) Cite this as: BMJ 2013;346:f345

Patients develop wound infections after surgery far more often than is usually reported, show the results of a survey of English hospital trusts that reveal wide variations in how different hospitals collect and report this information.1
The researchers have called for a complete overhaul of the national surgical site infection surveillance system, a voluntary reporting scheme run by the Health Protection Agency, to improve its reliability. Their findings show that hospitals that conduct high quality surveillance of surgical site infections are penalised in the current surveillance service.
The research group sent questionnaires …
