Take one large passenger van and fill to capacity with curious beer enthusiasts. Steep generously with Columbus beer history while adding a comprehensive beer tasting. Pitch in the experience and knowledge of two local food experts. Finish with the personality of some of the city's finest brewers to develop unique character. In a little over three hours, you have a first-rate beer tour.
Columbus Brew Adventures is the latest venture by food and drink aficionados Bethia Woolf and Jim Ellison. Sister company to Columbus Food Adventures, this new endeavor follows suit by providing informative tours exploring some of Columbus's most unique establishments. With a variety of tours that range from an afternoon in Columbus to longer forays into neighboring counties, Columbus Brew Adventures offers patrons an opportunity to experience a representative cross-section of Central Ohio's burgeoning brewing scene. This past weekend, Christine and I embarked upon the Downtown Brewery Tour.
We began the tour at the Columbus Brewing Company Restaurant, which is attached to the Columbus Brewing Company Brewery (despite the same name and proximity, the two are actually owned by different folks) near the city's Brewery District. An array of appetizers were presented to our group, including nachos, several varieties of pizza, and wings, which provided a nice base for the forthcoming afternoon beer tasting. Our first flight of the day featured a few of Columbus Brewing Company's most notable ales: Pale Ale, IPA, and Bodhi (CBC's double IPA). Both the Pale Ale and IPA are no strangers to our refrigerator at home; they're quintessential examples of Columbus beer and established a solid note on which to begin the tour. As we sampled our beer, Jamie Young gave a brief history of brewing which led into the history of brewing in Columbus and the establishment of the Brewery District.
Our second stop included a tasting in the basement of Barley's Brewing Company on High Street across from the Convention Center. Housed in what used to be the ground-level of High Street, the cave-like room beneath Barley's restaurant provided a cozy backdrop to Barley's brewer extraordinaire, Angelo Signorino. Using a proprietary yeast, Angelo has been responsible for the extraordinary beer Barley's has produced over the years. His pride and ownership of every batch has helped Barley's establish itself as one of Columbus's premier, and longest operating, breweries. Our tasting samples touched on their diverse offerings and included MacLenny's Scottish Ale, Blood Thirst Wheat (a hefeweizen flavored with blood orange zest), Hoptoberfest, and Infinity Grand Cru (a Belgian dark strong ale). Although I've recently avoided overly hoppy beers, I really enjoyed the Hoptoberfest. A cask conditioned ale, its hops added complexity and subtle flavors without overpowering the beer.
Third on the tour was Seventh Son Brewing Company. Perhaps one of Columbus's most exciting new breweries, Seventh Son resides in a refurbished garage on the corner of East 4th Avenue and North 4th Street in Italian Village. Brewer Colin Vent delved into the science behind brewing as our group was invited to sample barley malted to different stages, catch a glimpse of actual yeast through a microscope, and become acquainted with hops in its many forms. The behind-the-beer-scenes orientation gave the group a better understanding of how flavors are developed through the brewing process and why some beers may be more malty or more hoppy than others. Colin stressed that Seventh Son's lineup is always changing and is the result of their embrace of seasonal brewing practices. The beer flight at Seventh Son was indicative of their eclectic approach to traditional styles: Humulus Nimbus Super Pale Ale (Christine's favorite), Summer Farmhouse Ale, Oubliette Imperial Stout.
Our final stop was at North High Brewing. Located in a beautifully renovated corner space on North High Street in the Weinland Park neighborhood, North High Brewing is unique in that half their space is a bar, while the other half is set up for patrons to brew their own beer. Co-owner Gavin Meyers enthusiasm for his beer and his business was quite contagious. As he pointed out several of the architectural features that were incorporated into the bar (including reclaimed window arches from old OSU buildings and window slats made from wooden bleacher seats), we were poured three samples highlighting their brewing style: Chocolate Milk Stout (amazingly rich and delicious), E.S.B. (English Special Bitter), and Pale Ale. While I didn't find the samples at North High Brewing as exotic as some of the the Seventh Son beers, I did think they were some of the best new beers I've tasted and believe they are indicative of the direction Columbus's brewing scene is headed. Christine, who has done a little home brewing herself, was very excited to see the Brew on Premise portion and is looking forward to taking advantage of their brewing space and services.
Each stop on the tour afforded our group the chance to visit a brewery that was distinct both in what they do as well as the beer they serve—we didn't feel like we were getting different versions of the same beer at each location. With an average of three samples per stop, we felt we got some depth into the variety of the breweries while not getting intoxicated. The insights offered by both the guides and brewers into the Columbus brew scene gave tour participants a unique experience where we could not only taste a broad sampling of what Columbus has to offer, but also learn from the people behind the brews.

Frugal challenge 11/23 - 11/29
Let's try to stay frugal this Thanksgiving week! This weekend I did the following.
- cooked from scratch all weekend - huge pot of veggie soup tonight
- hiked for entertainment
- wrote several articles
- hung lots of laundry
- washed ziploc bags
- read a book on finances (Dollars & Sense, it was a good beginners book)
- used lots of coupons at the grocery store (combined with sales), but went way over grocery budget stocking up on stuff. I am hoping that i can get away with only milk and a little bit of produce for the next 2 weeks, that would make up for what I went over this weekend
- finished the Christmas shopping for my kids, got the gift for my sisters family ($9), and found 2 new games I had gotten years ago (b1g1 sale) that my BILs family will be getting.
- dh put down new flooring in our entry for under $30! it looks so much better.
- was given 3 shirts by the neighbor, will work for dd next year
- added some insulation in the garage attic, will hopefully help with the ice problem, which could cause major damage

Today I went to Smart & Final (restaurant/janitorial supply warehouse) and got a case of Red Bull for my assistant's birthday present (I don't drink the stuff but she has one daily). They had a gallon of nonfat milk for $2.99 so I got one. I normally use reconstituted nonfat dry milk for everyday use, but I want to make some yogurt or pudding and just went ahead and got it - they are a bit out of the way so I don't normally shop there but maybe every other month.
Came home and did a load of laundry. Put a batch of pinto beans in the crockpot, and made some posole (free-style, no recipe) from hominy I picked up on my WALK to the grocery store today, and leftover crockpotted pork shoulder meat and some onions and chiles and diced tomatoes and salsa remnant I had leftover. It made 6 servings so I will take that in for lunch at work all week. I MUST MUST MUST ease up on the lunch expenses - I go to Baja Fresh or Ameci's or El Pollo Loco or the takeout sushi place at least 3 days a week and usually more.
And while I was all busy in the kitchen I went ahead and premade up some oatmeal packets for this week's breakfasts so I don't succumb to ANOTHER of my vices: picking up a quick pastry at Peet's Coffee on the way to work because "there's nothing for breakfast" in my home with its fairly well-stocked pantry, lol (I don't do convenience foods - at home, that is - all bets are off when I wqalk out the door). Anyway, take 1 snack-sized ziploc baggie, put in 1/2 c. regular rolled oats, 1 tbsp chopped nuts, 1 tbsp raisins, and 2 packets Splenda. When it's time to eat, empty into microwave safe bowl, glug in about 1/2 c. milk (I never measure), and microwave 2 minutes. I don't like gloppy oatmeal so mine is probably more like hot muesli.
I've been inspired by the many wonderful threads by the younger FVers this weekend and decided I REALLY could do better than I have been with the food budget.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements11-23-2008, 09:33 PM #4

I'm back!
Still having a hard time adjusting my schedule to keep up with the new house and FV, but I really need this thread to keep me accountable.
This week, so far:
*DH paid an extra $100 on his 401K loan (we discussed when we should be putting our extra money, and decided that in case of a layoff, the 401K loan would be the best to have paid off)
*All evening meals at home!! This has been a very big vice for us in the past, but I'm getting better. I've used the crockpot for a beef stew, and been getting better at expanding our "cheap and fast" meals at home selection.
*I have eaten out once at work, but brought my lunch the other two days.
*Went through the grocery store flyer, picked out the sale items, and found a lot of online printable coupons that match up. I really need to set up a regular day for this, maybe I'll pick Tuesdays.
*DH has a cold, but I went though the medicine chest and got all the old stuff out - we always use most of the box, then keep the last two or three doses, but when the next cold hits, we buy a new box. So none of the stuff we had was expired, and we're using it.
*Washing all of the laundry in cold water.
*DH set the programmable thermstats down from 68 to 65 when we're home, except upstairs in the morning (I hate getting out of a warm bed into the cold)
*DH replaced a window in the basement that was just leaking heat
*Got a free magazine subscription
*Cleaned my coats with a sponge and careful scrubbing, rather than the usual dry cleaning
*Used up a hair conditioner sample
*Had dinner at my aunt's house on Sunday, got sent home with enough leftovers for another meal
*Used three coupons at Bath & Body Works - free item with any purchase - and bought the $1 gift bag, and got three body creams for free. Good for me and Christmas presents.

I just had a conversation with a 20 yr old. kid at work, when he said quote, why not just ban guns period? And I turned around and ask him if he really knows what he just said. he said we don't need them anymore. and I said you have a constitution that protects your rights to have one.
He says he doesn't need one to hunt he gets his food from walmart, the same as I do...
I said it's not in the constitution, about hunting it's about protecting us from a king and also tearany (mispelled) ( my other right).
He says we don't need them because of things like colorado.
I said how about just banning all firearms, then the guy or guy's in colorado and the post office and other work places, Then they can go out and make some I.E.D. and park it around the place they want to hit and do the same thing Mc vay did.
He shut up and won't speak to me. for the last week he just glares at me. LOL
But he is always playing and talking about 1st. shooter games on his computer.
He would prob. shoot me if I mentioned banning violent videio games.
thats it!!!! I'am dumping all my guns in the lake

Congrats on the new permit and the successful Wally World Walk.:smile:
Look in here... High Noon Holsters
High Noon will get you a quality holster pretty quickly.:yup:
Congrats on getting your CCW. Glad your Wally Walk was just another walk, did my walk about 8 years ago. Good luck with finding the holster you need, it takes awhile and pretty soon you will have a good supply!!
I haven't read all the post here so I don't know what you carry but I have one of TT's IWB holsters for a 380 that I really like.
http://www.ttgunleather.com/ or
index I used to use the DeSantis Insider but quickly bought the original from nate squared once I discovered it, and have never turned back.
And there is no waiting period... all of them are in stock for the most common pistols.
Congrats! Uneventful is good. :smile:
Contrary to popular belief, I have a Milt Sparks VM II Have never been fully comfortable with it. First off, it's hard to put on, and the problems esculate from there.
Went to a Crossbreed Supertuck, which I feel was an improvement. Now have an Old Faithful. Have been switching off between the 3, and gradually working into something I'm completely comfortable with. To each his own, they say. It's definitely not "one size fits all"
congrats on the new permit
Congrats! A good holster or two or more is a must. A high end holster has a long waiting period. But it's worth it. I bought a Mtac for my Glocks. Even though it's a hybid holster it is quite comfy. And no crosses on the clips! I bought mine while I was debating on which all leather holster to order. I ended up just using the Mtac. Other than shaping itself to me and the gun it still looks good!
Pure Kustom Black Ops Pro is the way to go for all day comfort IWB or OWB. They are a bit pricey, but if you start there, you won't have a box of unused cheaper holsters. I carry my PK BOP in IWB mode from the time I get up til I go to bed and frequently forget it is on.
If anybody is interested in a CrossBreed style IWB holster, I strongly urge you to check with Dustin Osborn and his Ozarks Holster Company. His email address is email@example.com. Here is a link showing pictures of his holsters:
Ozarks Holster Co. - IWB Kydex/Horsehide Holsters *Walther P99 now available* - Topic
Very high quality craftsmanship, excellent customer service, and it took less than 1 WEEK from ordering to having it delivered! The best part - my handmade, horsehide leather holster was $40 SHIPPED! You will not be disappointed! And no, I am not related to Dustin in any way. I was just so incredibly impressed with his holster and his high level of customer service that I thought I would share this with others looking for a similar holster.

If you keep up with the news, you're aware that the Texas Nationalist Movement, led by Daniel Miller, has collected over 80,000 signatures from Texans who support secession.
Story here:
A petition for Texas secession has qualified to receive a White House response.
As of Tuesday evening, the petition — which asks for the peaceful withdrawal of the state of Texas from the union — had racked up more than 81,000 signatures. (Only 25,000 are needed to elicit an official response from the Obama administration.)
Please, Texas, keep up the efforts. It would be every Democrat's dream. Every president for the next 100 years will be Democrat without their electoral votes. So, please, let Texas secede.

Bruce Andrews's 25-hour Twitter Project
Jacket2 reports that Bruce Andrews and Maria Chavez will collaborated on a 25-hour Twitter performance beginning on April 1, 2014.
Bruce Andrews// 25 Hour Twitter sculpture & performance
Curated by Maria Chavez
On April 1st, 2014, Bruce Andrews and Maria Chavez will collaborate on a 25 hour performance piece on the social media platform, Twitter.
After experiencing an intermedia performance of Bruce Andrews late last year, Maria sensed a striking affinity between Bruce's text/ language work and Twitter's interactive focus: short modular posts, limited to a handful of words, with a stress on vivid conciseness, wide open to immediate responses and links to a variety of media.
The Bruce Andrews 25 hour piece is meant to use Twitter as sculptural documentation, becoming a real time archive of Bruce Andrews's current poetic writing and the responses it elicits in real time. Using a social media platform as an exhibition space, Maria Chavez will tweet a Bruce Andrews language text, every 5 minutes for 25 hours. That's the 300 parts of a new poetic sequence, 'Improper', designed and edited for this occasion.
Each twitter post will also have a link leading to a Soundcloud web page made specifically for the piece, with audio recordings of Andrews, performing each tweeted 'poem' individually.
We're hoping for lots of interaction — retweets, liking and favoriting, parallel poetic comments, anecdotes, translations, mash-ups, sound files, photos, graphics, video: the internet sky's the limit.
Once the 25 hour time period has lapsed, the Twitter profile will sit on its own, with all of the added links and responses. (Not updating a social media platform like Twitter becomes a gesture towards the 'sculptural' element of the piece. An archive begins to take shape.)
Learn more at Jacket2, including how to sponsor the performance. You can also learn more about the project here and here.

PULLMAN, Wash. – The Northern Arizona women's team began its three-match road swing in Washington on Friday by taking on No. 30 Washington State, but fell to the Cougars, 7-0, in the Hollingbery Fieldhouse. The loss dropped the Lumberjacks' record to 7-11 this spring, but seven of those losses have come against top-75 competition in the ITA rankings.
The Cougars' Elizaveta Luzina and Liudmila Vasilieva jumped out early by taking the No. 2 doubles match, 8-2, over freshmen Hannah Stone and Johanna Vang, giving the home team the quick advantage in doubles play. Despite the loss at No. 2, the Lumberjacks battled in the other two doubles matches, playing the Cougars even through the first six games at No. 1 and leading 4-3 at No. 3.
But Elisabeth Fournier and Charlotte Koning turned the tables on juniors Alice Pacaut and Nicole Perez at No. 3, erasing the 4-3 deficit and stealing the match 8-4 to clinch the doubles point in Washington State's favor. The Cougars then went on to take the match at No. 1 to sweep doubles play.
Led by two nationally-ranked singles players at the top of their lineup, the Cougars then proceeded to sweep through singles play. Washington State won at No. 3 and 4 to kick off singles and clinched the team match when Vasilieva, the country's No. 48 ranked singles player, defeated junior Ghizelene Doballah at No. 1. Stone on the other hand, appeared on her way to an upset of Washington State's other ranked played, Fournier, at the second singles spot when she took the first set. Fournier, ranked No. 125 in the country, though responded with a second set victory and then took the third set to deny Stone's upset bid.
The Lumberjacks will head just a little north to Spokane, Wash. for their second match of the weekend on Saturday where they'll look to bounce back against Gonzaga at 9 a.m.
1. Ksenia Googe/Andjela Kankaras (WSU) def. Ghizelene Doballah/Malia Wahinepio (NAU), 8-5

CYCLING: Trentin claims 14th stage
LYON, France (AP) — Italian cyclist Matteo Trentin timed his finish perfectly to win the hilly 14th stage of the Tour de France, while Chris Froome preserved his overall lead by staying in the pack on Saturday.
Froome and the other main contenders were more than seven minutes back when Trentin crossed the finish line in Lyon to become the first Italian to win a stage on this year's Tour.
Froome remains 2:28 ahead of Dutchman Bauke Mollema, considered an outsider, and 2:45 clear of Alberto Contador, the 2007 and '09 champion who was stripped of his 2010 title for doping.

Of the 16 sub-appellations in the Napa Valley, the Rutherford AVA may be the most renowned. Legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff said, "It takes Rutherford dust to grow great Cabernet," and Rutherford Ranch Winery has a number to choose from.
Our full line of award-winning premium Napa Valley varietals include a selection of Cabernet Sauvignons (several only available at the winery), Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel and Rhiannon, a delicious proprietary red blend.
Our winemaking team crafts elegant, true-to-the-varietal wines with fruit sourced from the two estate vineyards and select vineyards sites throughout the valley. The cooler sites yield grapes with bright, rich flavors and tropical fruit characteristics. Warmer sites within the valley produce grapes with deep, intense flavors. Together they provide the winemakers with an unequaled palette of flavor and character and quality.

One of the problems of being a party without any policies is that when the leadership so much as raises a suggestion of what the party might do, it is scutinised within an inch of its life, as opponents and the media try to figure out what it might mean.
National's deputy leader, Bill English, has found himself in this quandary over state asset sales. Quizzed on TVNZ's Agenda programme yesterday, English ruled out selling any more state assets "holus bolus'' but then went on to display considerable enthusiasm for partial state asset sales - or as he termed it, a "mixed ownership model''.
That led to inevitable questions about which assets National may consider part-selling, what it would use the money for, and when it might consider doing it.
English did his best to dodge these questions, but ended up conceding the the Government's rich electricity companies might be a good start, and that the money from the sales could be used to fund further infrastructural projects, although he didn't say which.
English also suggested that "Kiwi mums and dads'' would love to get their hands on some shares in some of the Crown's companies - ignoring the obvious fact that, collectively, said mums and dads already own the companies. And the fact that it's not just Kiwis that would be interested in buying the shares: given the profits of Meridian and Genesis Energy, large international institutional investors would be pretty keen as well.
On the face of it, English's suggestions are perfectly reasonable. Properly directed, a part-sale could free up some reserves for the government to spend on, say, roading, or broadband cabling, or building a few new schools or hospitals.
And there is no intrinsic reason why the Government needs to own an airline, or a bunch of farms, or a coal company. Labour didn't seem to think so in the past - it presided over more asset sales than any other party in New Zealand history. Even when this Government bought Air NZ again in 2002 it stated the purchase was not a long-term hold.
But if you're going to present a new idea, such as partial asset sales, it's got to be done properly. All the counter-arguments have to be thought through and answers to all the tricky questions worked out. Otherwise, you'll lose control of the argument straight away.
That's precisely what's happened in this case. The Government has leapt on English's musings with ill-disguised glee. Branding it "National's privatisation policy exposed'', it's sent eager-beaver Clayton Cosgrove to savage English and paint his thoughts as the start of a new plan to fund National's tax cuts.
Prime Minister Helen Clark is likely to wade in with her two cents' worth later this afternoon at the post-Cabinet press conference. By the time Labour's finished, National will stand accused once again of planning to hock off the family silver and privatise the health system.
That's not what English was suggesting, but National has only itself to blame. English has always had a habit of thinking out loud. It's a trait that endears himself to journalists, but not always to his colleagues. National has been kicking this stuff about for months, along with a whole lot of other ideas in health and education.
The problem is, it's too scared to release any of it. National is torn between following its ideological principles, keeping faith with its major funders and backers, and avoiding giving Labour anything with which to beat it over the head.
With good reason. National has been doing just fine in the polls without saying anything much at all, and doesn't see why it should spoil this by saying something the public doesn't like.
But this is only going to work for so long. It leads to issues like English's gaffe on state asset sales and puts questions in voters' minds as to exactly what National is planning, since it won't tell us.
It also leads to taunts that National is Labour-lite. There have been too many "me-too'' responses from the Opposition lately, on everything from KiwiSaver to foreign policy to nuclear energy to climate change. Sooner or later, it has got to come up with some policy of its own. Preferably policy that differs from that of the Government.

Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs
To make meatballs that are moist and tender, avoid using very lean ground turkey.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, March/April 2003
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups canned crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 white onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 pound spaghetti
Make the sauce: In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, oregano, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, covered, 20 to 25 minutes.
Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with a fork. Stir in onion, breadcrumbs, cheese, and parsley. Add turkey, and mix until combined. Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
Add meatballs to skillet, and spoon sauce over to coat. Place over medium heat until meatballs are just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Cook spaghetti until al dente according to package instructions, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta, transfer to skillet, and toss gently with the sauce. Serve with more cheese.

bts1969gmailc24 JAN, 2016Excellent!!! I only deviated by lightly sauté the meatballs before adding them to the sauce and added 2 tablespoons of sugar to the sauce in order to reduce overall acidity. Perfect recipe for a colon cancer survivor like myself, trying to avoid red meat but still enjoying a GREAT meal! Thank you Martha!Reply
MS1068891821 AUG, 2014Wow, my family truly loves this. My son requests it regularly. Tonight, I snuck some fresh spinach into the meatball mixture & no one was the wiser. I love it when my kids willingly eat wholesome meals!Reply
BASEtraining2 JAN, 2013This recipe was awesome! I am always looking for whole food recipes to pin and share and try with my 90/10 nutrition challenge groups (www.tribasetraining.com/nutrition). This fit perfectly and was a big hit. Highly recommended. The prep is a little more involved than some might like and you might get a bit messy making the meatballs but it is worth it. I love this recipe.Reply
DorM18 OCT, 2012A favorite Everyday Food recipe since it was published. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes along with the tomato paste. This one recipe where my family prefers whole-wheat spaghetti to my surprise and delight.I slightly undercook the spaghetti and then add to the sauce an let it cook for a few more minutes.Reply
cheereeo29 MAY, 2012This recipe was incredible. I was reluctant to try it since the meatballs weren't first browned and I thought the onion would be overpowering, but I am so glad I tried it. The balls kept together nicely and tasted incredible and made the sauce taste extra delicious. I followed it to the tee except I didn't have the crushed tomatoes in my cabinet, so I used a 28-oz can of whole san marzano tomatoes and one 14-oz can of tomato sauce. YUM. THANKSReply
makeitsweet8 FEB, 2012I have been making these meatballs for years and they are super soft and yummy! My husband and 2 young kids love them in toasted french rolls with melted cheese and a little of the sauce... Thanks for a great recipe!!Reply
Fantm27 JAN, 2009These were really good! Easy to make and lots of flavor. I had plenty leftover to freeze (uncooked) so I have them on-hand for busy nights. My non-meat eating son even will eat these (ok, just one of them)!Reply
katiemommy21 MAR, 2008Delicious and quick to make. I had everything together in less than an hour. All ingredients were on hand - I didn't have to run to grocery store for anything. The meatballs were full of flavour - I wasn't sure about the turkey but they tasted better than my hamburger meatballs. The kids loved them, I will be making them again and again.Reply

Rodriguez Shines in 3-1 Win
Keys Lefty Held No-Hitter into Seventh Inning
By Frederick Keys | May 1, 2013 6:29 PM ET
Keys left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez outdueled his counterpart Alec Asher as Rodriguez worked into the seventh inning with a no-hitter intact in a Keys 3-1 win on Wednesday night. With the win, accompanied by a Lynchburg loss, the Keys are tied for first place in the Carolina League.
Rodriguez, coming off of a tough outing his last time out, was magnificent going seven innings while allowing a run on three hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out six.
The only runners to reach in the first six innings off of Rodriguez (2-2) were both on throwing errors. In the seventh inning with the no-hitter still intact, Pelicans shortstop Luis Sardinas legged out an infield hit to end the no-no bid. After allowing the run on three hits, Rodriguez finished the inning strong getting a fly out and a strikeout to end his evening.
Frederick grabbed the lead in the fourth inning when they finally got to Asher. After having the first ten men retired consecutively, shortstop Sammie Starr walked to start the rally. Third baseman Travis Adair then doubled moving Starr to third base. After a walk loaded the bases, designated hitter Zane Chavez singled sharply up the middle, scoring two runs to give the Keys a 2-0 lead.
Keys centerfielder Delvi Cid reached on an error and then later scored on a wild pitch in the fifth inning to up the advantage to 3-0.
Left-handed pitcher Trent Howard worked a scoreless two innings to put an end to the game notching his first save. The game was the shortest nine inning game of the year, played in two hours and 12 minutes. The victory is the fourth in their last five for the Keys.
Frederick is right back at it with an 11 a.m. series finale Thursday morning, May 2nd. On the hill with be right-hander Tyler Wilson. For tickets contact the Keys Box Office at 301-815-9939 or purchase online at frederickkeys.com.

We've been here before - many, many times...
Remember that proposed sales injunction on Word? It broke out when Canadian software company i4i sued over a patent dispute for the way Word uses XML files (those horrible things that no-one can ever open while you convert everything back to .doc). Predictably Microsoft launched an appeal. Quite amusingly, today it turns out that appeal has surprisingly been rejected.
What that means is Microsoft has been ordered to stop sales of Word 2007 and Office 2007 across the US by 11 January unless it modifies the software to comply with the patent dispute. On the other hand Microsoft could simply settle the case, pay up and continue as normal. Consequently the company has announced:
"We have just learned that the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has denied our appeal in the i4i case. We are moving quickly to comply with the injunction, which takes effect on January 11, 2010... and have put the wheels in motion to remove this little-used feature from these products," said Microsoft's director of public affairs Kevin Kutz in a statement. "Therefore, we expect to have copies of Microsoft Word 2007 and Office 2007, with this feature removed, available for U.S. sale and distribution by the injunction date. In addition, the beta versions of Microsoft Word 2010 and Microsoft Office 2010, which are available now for downloading, do not contain the technology covered by the injunction."
This all smacks of Windows 7 E to me, which proved utterly pointless and a complete waste of time and money after it eventually agreed to an EU approved browser ballot screen. So can't we all sort this out amicably?
"While we are moving quickly to address the injunction issue, we are also considering our legal options, which could include a request for a rehearing by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals en banc or a request for a writ of certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court," concluded Kutz.
I guess not then...

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad wants the world to know that he is defending Muslims and people of the Middle East against outside foreign mercenaries who seek to bring war to the peaceful world of Syria. "We are fighting a regional and global war, so time is needed to win it…We are moving forward. The situation is practically better, but it has not been decided yet."
Assad is the true believer. He is convinced that his fight to retain power is really a fight to protect his people against "foreigners" who would murder and destroy. Bashar is simply killing and destroying in order to prevent others from killing and destroying. In other words, one must destroy Syria in order to save Syria. is that clear to all??

"Glee" fans shouldn't worry that one of the show's original cast members is absent from the latest cast shot promoting Season 4.
"Gleeks, please relax. Dianna [Agron] is still on the show. We love her and have great plans for Quinn. #QuinnFabrayLives," showrunner Ryan Murphy Tweeted on Thursday evening.
PLAY IT NOW: Glee Project Winner Blake Jenner 'Can't Wait' To Be On Glee
Ryan's Tweet was in response to "Glee" fans who expressed their fears over the fate of Quinn after he Tweeted out the new cast shot - which doesn't feature the former Cheerio. (Also absent in the photo is Jayma Mays, who plays Emma.)
The cast pic does, however, give fans their first look at several new cast members in costume -- Dean Geyer, who will play Brody Weston - Rachel Berry's new NYADA classmate, and Jacob Artist, who plays Puck's little brother - Jake Puckerman. It also has Becca Tobin as Kitty (the new gal in the Cheerios uniform) and Melissa Benoist, who plays Marley and is at the front of the cast shot.

Ryan also revealed a promo poster, featuring Kate Hudson and Lea Michele (Rachel). Click HERE to see that pic!
In related "Glee" news, a new video promo surfaced on Thursday, featuring more of Kate as Rachel's dance teacher, Cassandra July. Click HERE to watch!
Interestingly, Kate can be seen in the clip (and in the photo, released earlier this month) dancing with a hunk who bears a strong resemblance to Casper Smart. And, now in video form, it appears it might be part of a subtle homage to Jennifer Lopez as the song Kate is dancing to is J.Lo's "Dance Again."

Ruined by Reading: A Life in Books by Lynne Sharon Schwartz
001. How are we to spend our lives, anyway? That is the real question. We read to seek the answer, and the search itself—the task of a lifetime—becomes the answer.
002. How could I "live" when there was so much to be read that ten lives could not be enough? And what is it, anyway, this "living"? Have I ever done it? If it is merely [Henry] James' euphemism for knowing passion, well, I pass.
003. I have done what people do, my life makes a reasonable showing. Can I go back to my books now?
004. And this shrinking from the difficult, the inharmonious, and the subtle is precisely what irks me in readers who complain that a book is "too depressing" or "too demanding," too long or complicated. No way to explain that a book's merit has nothing to do with its degree of good cheer, or that a "depressing" book can give exquisite pleasure.
005. Life is designed to thwart ecstasy; whether we do it for ourselves or something does it for us is a minor issue.
006. I envied my older sister her interruptibility. While I looked up immediately from my book when my name was called, she had the uncanny ability not to hear. I would test her as she read. It was like addressing a stone, expect that with a stone, if we are imaginative enough, we can infer some kind of response, albeit in stone language. My sister appeared to be present, but she was in the book. This is a great and useful gift. The stunned petitioner retreats, daunted by an invisible power that can drown out the world.
When questioned, my sister said that she really did not hear when she was spoken to. Years later I observed the power in my older daughter. Did she too fail to hear? No, she said, of course she heard, she just didn't answer. And clearly it was not the same, in her mind, as out-and-out rudeness. Feeling herself elsewhere, she acted accordingly.
007. When my mother spoke of couples who were "keeping company" or getting engaged, she would say, "Of course she likes him," or, 'She seems to like him," never that they loved each other, far less that they could be "in love," a phrase that seemed to denote a silly, weak-minded condition, embarrassing to own up to, bordering on the irresponsible or disreputable, and certainly not to be bruited about. Romantic love, from what I could gather, was for far less decent and intelligent people than we, who should know better. … just as we were not supposed to write the word "God" but "G-d" instead, which offended me aesthetically, a distraction in the flow of reading, besides calling attention to a figure already receiving more than adequate attention.
008. [About "The Little Princess" the character in the book says:] "It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it." [Schwartz says:] I had suspected that the life within was every bit as real as the life without, but no one had ever before reassured me.
Despite Sara's passionate rage against Miss Minchin's injustice, she knows it would be useless to protest. 'her heart grew proud and sore, but she never told anyone what she felt." I, on the contrary, was given to struggling and fretting aloud to no avail. I envied Sara's silence; I grasped its force; I wanted it. Such silence comes out of a keen sense of reality and of power. For the only way to appose a greater power is with inner might.
I don't answer very often. I never answer when I can help it. When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word—just look at them and think … When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage… There's nothing as strong as rage except what makes you hold it in—that's stronger.
I heard a great deal of rage—vocal and terrifying—when i was small; int hat way my household was not what I could call ordinary. And I thought rage must be powerful. It was certainly loud. I have spent the rest of my life learning that loudness is not a show of strength, and that the spirit i kept alive by trust in the inner voice and by holding firmly to the unnamed thing that Sara found at age eleven: the stronger thing that makes you hold rage in.
Nowadays, when the exhaustive—and exhausting—expression of feelings is considered the mark of emotional health, Sara's reserve is plainly subversive. The patronizing labels it might be given leap readily to mind. No matter. Sara's behaviour, then and now, revives older labels like honour and dignity (not to mention pride), which will outlast our faddish ones. Even Miss Minchin is unsettled by Sara's demeanour after being reduced to poverty and consigned to the cold attic:
If she had cried and sobbed and seemed frightened, Miss Minchin might almost have had more patience with her. She was a woman who liked to domineer and feel her power, and as she looked at Sara's pale little steadfast face and heard her proud little voice, she quite felt as if her might was being set at naught.
Precisely: Miss Minchin's might is being set at naught by a will firmer than her own. Giving vent to every feeling may provide quick comfort, but true self-possession—keeping your own mind free, in the words of Mr Cha himself, the Buddhist who set off these recollections—has more lasting rewards. As Sara knows, the power that must perpetually assert itself is no power at all. True power is confident and has no need of display.
009. And it appears that the critical thing these others were able to do was identify and localize a subject that for me remained undefined and elusive—until i read their books and saw it clear and elegant. In the light, writing seems less a craft than a quality of mind and discernment, a rarefied focusing. Or sometimes the other writers have lit on the perfect form, which obviates any struggling for subject—Proust's ruminating novel or Herbert Morris's meditative poems like n intimate conversation, both unabashed about their length, or, in the short department, Robert Walser's idiosyncratic essays like messages found in bottles, comically wry and desperate. Then I think, Had I only know you could do it that way…and writing seems a function of inventiveness and nerve.
010. Unwilling, it seems, to risk a new thought or feeling—like the people who won't read books in the first place, or yank them off the library shelves to protect the innocent.
011. For in the end, even if all my books were to vanish, i would still have them somewhere, if I had read them attentively enough. Maybe the words on the page are not even the true book, in the end, only a gateway to the book the recreates itself in the mind and lasts as long as we do.
012. I am not among the happy few who can readily distinguish want from ought. We are taught from our first breath to want what tohers think we should want. They dress up "ought" in the insidious garb of want, a wolf in sheep's clothing, so that life's greatest task becomes the unmasking of false desire to reveal the bleak bare-toothed ought, and the unearthing of true desire.
013. current books are modishly sleek inside and out, low-fat, low-cholesterol, sort of like Lite beer—not bad on a hot day yet hardly the thing for a seasoned drinker.
014. The pressure to read the living is moral as well a social. We must know our own times, understand what is happening around us. But I know my own times. I am in them. I have only to walk down Broadway or Main Street to see what is happening. It is the times of the dead I do not know. The dead are exciting precisely because they are not us. They are what we will never know except through their books. Their trivia are our exotica. As writers, transmitters, the dead can be more alive than some of the living.
015. Part of context is what other writers are doing with the same context.
016. For inevitably, every living writing is a part of every other, all f us bumping up against each other like passengers in a loaded bus. Some feel and smell better than others, and we may wish certain ones would just disembark, but for the moment they must be taken account of. When there is a pothole in the road, we are all jolted.
017. I like to cling to the John Cage-ish principle that if randomness determines the universe it might as well determine my reading too; to impose order is to strain against the nature of things. Randomness continuing for long enough will yield its own pattern or allow pattern to emerge organically, inscrutably, from within—or so I hope. On the other hand, how comforting to have a plan. It harks back to the satisfaction of pleasing authority and earning a gold star.
018. Swift divided writers into spiders and bees, the one buzzing from flower to flower gathering their diverse sweetnesses to transform into uniform honey, the other gazing inward, spinning elaborate, sticky webs our of the dirty stuff of the self.
019. Perhaps at every stage what we read is what we are, or what we are becoming, or desire.
020. In the thick of experience, snatches of bookish wisdom do not serve. If no girl was ever ruined by a book, none was ever saved by one either. (Even less useful is looking to fictional characters. The best of them travel in confusion and come to a bad end: this is what makes their lives worth inventing. It is we, the readers, who have the counseling role. Do this, do that, we tell them. Don't forget to mail that letter, don't get on that plane. Divorce him, marry her, look over your shoulder for heaven's sake. But to no avail.)
021. We "kill" time to leap over its body to a future even, if only dinner. But after dinner we find, like Macbeth, that we must kill some more, till the next event. Plainly the events are just a more dramatic means of killing. what we are waiting for, killing time to arrive at, is death, the only event that can release us from the burden of living time. Killing time is to live what Evelyn Wood's speed-reading is to reading, sprinting as opposed to leisurely walking, where you appreciate the scenery. The goal is to get it over with, to no longer have to to day. (Speed-reading is not actually reading at all but eye exercises.)

Joe York and Matt Bruder, the duo who made the SFA's first documentary film , are at work again. Their subject is Ed Scott, past winner of the Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award. Scott was the first African American catfish farmer and processor in the Mississippi Delta. His story is a compelling one. Joe (email@example.com) and Matt want to put Scott's story in the context of the rise of farm-raised catfish, and would like to hear from anyone who can add perspective to the same.

Michael Jackson in talks on possible Las Vegas act
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson may relaunch his career as a Las Vegas act, thanks to the private equity group that recently bought the loan on his Neverland Ranch in California to help the pop star avert foreclosure.
The investment firm Colony Capital is discussing with Jackson various repayment options for the $23 million debt, including a possible long-term engagement as the resident performer of a Vegas casino or nightclub, a source familiar with the talks said on Friday.
Colony Capital, based in Los Angeles, owns the Las Vegas Hilton and is a major shareholder in the Station Casinos chain.
The source emphasized that no deal was in place and that a gig for Jackson in Las Vegas, a city of second chances for many faded superstars, was merely one idea under consideration as Colony Capital explores loan repayment scenarios with him.
The talks with Jackson were first reported by the Wall Street Journal, which quoted Colony Capital CEO Tom Barrack as saying, "we've been having discussions with Mr. Jackson about a recapitalization and refinancing of Neverland in addition to various other business opportunities and mutual interests."
A Colony Capital spokesman told Reuters the company was not commenting further on the matter. Jackson's personal spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment.
Bringing Jackson to Sin City as a performer would mark the biggest step the 49-year-old performer has taken toward a comeback since a child molestation trial left his career, his reputation and financial status in tatters three years ago.

About George Biddle
George Biddle (January 24, 1885 – November 6, 1973) was an American artist best known for his social realism, combat art, and his strong advocacy of government-sponsored art projects. A native of Philadelphia, Biddle was a lawyer by training whose passion for art led him to abandon his original profession and travel the world to study and compose.
Born to an established Philadelphia family, Biddle attended the elite Groton School (where he was a classmate of Franklin D. Roosevelt). He completed his undergraduate studies and later earned a law degree from Harvard (1908 and 1911, respectively). He passed his bar examination in Philadelphia.
Biddle's legal career was short-lived, however, and by the end of 1911 he had left the United States to study at the Académie Julian in Paris. In the next two years he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Returning to Europe in 1914, Biddle spent time in Munich and Madrid, studying printmaking in the Spanish capital, before trying his hand at impressionism in France. As he remembered, "I gobbled up museums, French Impressionism, cubism, futurism, and the old masters; I copied Velasquez in Madrid and Rubens in Munich…." In 1917, with the United States' entry into the First World War, Biddle enlisted in the army.
In the early interwar period Biddle continued his studies in far-flung locations such as Tahiti, returned to France in 1924, and in 1928 went on a sketching trip through Mexico with Diego Rivera.
George Biddle was married three times, from 1917 to 1921 to Anne (Nancy) Coleman (* 1896), who in 1925 married Leland Harrison (1883-1951). From 1925 to Jane Belo, later known anthropologist Jane Belo Tannenbaum (* November 3, 1904, Dallas, Texas; d. April 3, 1968) and from 1930 to sculptor Hélène Sardeau (* July 7, 1899, Antwerp (Belgium); d. 1969). Their child, Michael John Biddle, was born on November 15, 1934.
Prior to his Mexican travels, Biddle had returned to the United States in 1927 and established a printing shop in New York, where he "began to explore the variety and richness of technique and expressionism possible in lithography", a medium which he hoped would "popularize American art by making it better known to the American public".
In the 1930s, Biddle became a champion of social art and strongly advocated government funding for artistic endeavors. His correspondence with his former classmate (and recently elected president) Franklin Roosevelt. even contributed to the establishment of the Federal Art Project, an arm of the Works Progress Administration that produced several hundred thousand pieces of publicly-funded art. Biddle himself completed a mural titled The Tenement for the Justice Department building in Washington, D.C. and made sketches of the opera Porgy and Bess during its late 1930s tour. His works were exhibited at the 1939 New York World's Fair. During these years Biddle also wrote several books and taught at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
During World War II, Biddle was appointed chairman of the United States Department of War's Art Advisory Committee and served to recruit artists to that body. Biddle himself traveled through Algeria, Tunisia, Sicily, and Italy with the 3rd Infantry Division and produced works documenting that unit's activities. He wrote a book on his war travels: Artist at War Tunisia-Sicily-Italy, Viking Press, 1944. When the Art Advisory Committee was disbanded, he produced combat art for Life magazine.
In 1950, Biddle was appointed to the United States Commission of Fine Arts.
George Biddle died on November 6, 1973 in Croton-on-Hudson, New York.
Catfish Row
Biddle painted a beautiful image called "Catfish Alley," (later the name was changed to "Catfish Row" by American Artists Group when they published it). "Catfish Row" is a lithograph image. George Biddle uses many techniques on this painting which makes it more novel and attractive. The painting is in all black and white, the artist uses light and dark shading to give it a three-dimensional feel. The scene captured is of a group of individuals walking, sitting and playing outside their houses. In "Catfish Row" there is nothing about the image that is abnormal or fantasy. Atmospheric perspective is also used: the objects in the background are less detailed and almost blurry compared with the objects in the front of the painting. The overall spacing of the painting is crowded; almost every inch of the painting is used up with an object or person. The scene Biddle painted seems to take place in the evening; all of the adult figures in the image seem tired and ready to settle down for the night. The expressions on the figures' faces are exhausted from a day of work, but they have to keep an eye on the children out at play. The children look lively because it is cool and they get to play after school or working too. All the lines in the painting are choppy, but delicate and placed carefully. Biddle must have used quick strokes or a small tool to make the image look like it had been sandblasted or made on a rough surface.
The scene and the message of the painting are very clear and realistic. Biddle must have painted a scene when he was out traveling the world during hard times for African Americans. "Biddle's subject, reflecting the interest in portraying aspects of the American scene felt by many artists at this time, is drawn from his 1930 visit to Charleston". He liked to capture scenes that were of the time and how people saw the world. Most of his paintings, lithographs, and drawings were of real events or portraits. These images told a message about what was going on in the world, whether it was in the US or in another country. The effects and techniques that were used help express the message that Biddle was trying to say about the time period for this culture. "The subjects Biddle depicted included portraits of his family and friends, scenes based on his extensive travels, commentaries on political and national events and reflections on the human condition".
Style and influences
Some factors that contributed to Biddle's artwork are the many art movements that he was involved in. Biddle was involved in "French Impressionism; the American Ashcan School; the School of Paris and Cubism during those early and exciting days when it first exploded on the world; Regionalism, the Mexican Mural Movement, and the New Deal Subsidy of Art". He also was involved in the "post war currents of contemporary art". Many of his works of art were contemporary. Another factor that contributed to Biddle's artwork were his friendships with many great "painters, sculptors, and critics of the past generation and his life-long activity in behalf of fellow artists". He borrowed many of the other artists' styles and turned them into his own by using different techniques and images to get a different effect. Biddle believed that everyone's life should be influenced by every "fact with which one comes in contact, until one ceases to grow or is, actually dead". This is the reason why Biddle became such a successful American artist; he had his own style, and expressed real actual events.
A further influence on Biddle was Mary Cassatt. Biddle met Cassatt at the Académie Julian in Paris; she too was from Philadelphia. Cassatt helped to cultivate in Biddle an appreciation of the work of Degas. Some of Biddle's prints reflected "the style of these two artists in their intimate, domestic subject matter".
Biddle put in his "personal feelings—affection, humor, compassion, irony, social outrage—as well as his technical mastery of the lithographic medium" to "enliven his work".
George Biddle achieved a lot of goals that helped other artists make their way. His work serves as a "kind of index to the many style and themes which occupied artists in the first half of the 20th century". When Biddle volunteered to go to the war, it changed his whole life and how he saw the world. He got to travel the country and study the art of different cultures thus enriching the art that he would produce. Biddle captured scenes and people how they naturally occurred in life. "Catfish Row" is a good example of Biddle capturing people and objects in their natural state. "Rejecting the stale formulas of academism and critical of what he saw as a loss of articulate emotional expressionism in much of modernist art, Biddle grappled with his own artistic identity throughout his life".

The number of hungry families seeking food parcels from a major Manchester charity has increased TENFOLD this year.
Staff and volunteers at the Mustard Tree blamed the surge on a tightening up of the benefits system and savage cuts to council funding.
They warned it was likely to continue next year – and said they might not have the resources to continue to cope. Mustard Tree bosses said they had given out 900 food parcels in 2012 from their Ancoats base.
That compares to just 90 during the whole of the previous year.
A further 700 people have also visited the Mustard Tree's shop at Eccles Precinct in Salford since it opened 12 months ago to collect food parcels and give advice on finding employment.
Many of the food parcels are collected by social workers for needy families while others are given to people who go to the charity asking for help.
The demand has stretched the Mustard Tree's resources so much that it plans to close its Oldham Road premises one day a week to save money on heating and lighting.
People who turn to the charity for help include both the homeless and others who have a home but are struggling to afford to eat. The charity also provides a soup run, free employment and skills courses, art and sewing classes and counselling.
Lydia Chan, from the Mustard Tree, said: "Last year we gave out about 90 food parcels – this year it's 900, so it's a massive increase.
"We have been providing them for the last 18 years and have never seen this kind of demand. We think it will be even higher next year. A lot of it is people who are affected by changes to the benefits system or cuts to council services.
"It is a big strain on our resources and we haven't seen our funding increase to the same extent. It means we are having to reduce the services we offer and close one full day a week to find ways of reducing our expenditure.
"If anyone wants to help they can give a financial donation or come and buy some of our furniture, which is also an environmentally-friendly way to recycle."
The M.E.N. revealed this year how 40,000 children in Manchester – some 42 per cent of the juvenile population – were classed as living in poverty. Both David Cameron and Ed Miliband have since pledged to take action on the issue.

Uganda says to pull out troops from Somalia over Congo charges
By Elias Biryabarema
KAMPALA (Reuters) - Uganda will tell the United Nations it is withdrawing its forces from military operations in Somalia and other regional hotspots after the world body accused it of supporting Congolese rebels, the security minister said on Friday.
Minister Wilson Mukasa said the decision was irreversible and another Cabinet minister would explain Uganda's position at the United Nations in New York. However, it was not immediately clear if an irrevocable decision had been taken.
U.N. diplomats told Reuters the Ugandan delegation, which was led by Ruhakana Rugunda, special envoy and minister of information and communications technology, did not threaten to withdraw troops from international peacekeeping missions during discussions with U.N. officials in New York this week.
A read-out of the Ugandan delegation's meeting on Friday with Indian Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri, the president of the U.N. Security Council this month, also made no mention of threats to pull out troops. The information was made available to Reuters by India's U.N. mission.
Ugandan troops account for more than a third of the 17,600 U.N.-mandated African peacekeepers battling al Qaeda-linked Islamist rebels in Somalia and their withdrawal could hand an advantage to al Shabaab.
Its soldiers, backed by U.S. special forces, are also leading the hunt for fugitive Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony in Central African Republic, with some stationed in South Sudan.
In a leaked report, a U.N. Group of Experts last month accused Uganda and Rwanda of supporting the so-called M23 rebel group commanded by Bosco Ntaganda, a warlord indicted by the International Criminal Court nicknamed "the Terminator".
India's statement said the Ugandan delegation expressed "grave concern" about the report of the Group of Experts, and added that the Security Council's Congo sanctions committee had yet to formally consider the experts' report. Continued...

Fwd: Mathematica 6.0 bug in computing MathieuC
Take the parameter c such that MathieuCharacteristicB[2, c]=1. One can
easilty numerically compute c. We find c=-
6.433074585014675206670244658478726486156264965498297244484. Clearly, we
have MathieuS(1,c,t) is Pi-periodic. However MathieuC(1,c,t) should
oscillate but is NOT Pi-periodic. Moreover the Wronski-determinant ( i.e.
MathieuS(1,c,t)*MathieuCPrime(1,c,t) - MathieuC(1,c,t)*MathieuSPrime(1,c,t))
is in this case time-independent and must be equal to -1. Mathematica
6.0does this all worng. You can check it yourself.
