Metamorphoses Isn't the Serene Mythological Paradise You'd Expect
Ethan Henry in Metamorphoses at the Arsht Center.
Justin Namon
Some of the pictures show beautiful, half-naked people wearing billowing white togas while lounging around Greek columns or descending stone steps. Other images depict the same crew positioned underwater, frolicking in an aquamarine paradise, like performers in a mermaid show without the fins.
These promotional photos for the Adrienne Arsht Center's Metamorphoses are lovely. But they couldn't be less appropriate. Not only are the characters far too tortured for this sort of carefree cavorting, but also the water motif is barely exploited in the production.
Writer and director Mary Zimmerman conceived what eventually became Metamorphoses in 1996. The idea: Update fables by Roman poet Ovid, set them in a pool of water, and call it Six Myths. By 2002, the work had expanded to 11 myths and been renamed Metamorphoses. It went on to be nominated for a Tony for Best Play. The Arsht Center's long-awaited regional premiere is presented in conjunction with the University of Miami, whose most talented theater majors share stage time with professional equity actors.
The set, by K. April Soroko, resembles a palatial spa, with a rectangular pool of water inside an elevated platform, positioned in front of a columned balcony, and a stylish projection screen with the audience on three sides. Zimmerman has stated the water is integral to her vision of Ovid's myths, from Midas to Orpheus to Vertumnus. In director Henry Fonte's treatment here, the most literal usage of the water resonates -- the ravaging sea batters the ship of Ceyx (Adam Maggio), sending the god and his seamen splashing about in chaos. Then there's the slow drift of Phaeton (Tim Bell), the son of the Sun, as he relates familial angst to a therapist from a creative pool float in the shape of his father's bright-orange sphere.

But far too often, the water becomes tangential to the action, a novelty to work around. Or it's employed only superficially -- a drunken character might stumble into the pool in an ostentatious pratfall. Sometimes the water is such a distraction that it overrides the voices of the student actors, who tend to underenunciate. The production misses the abstraction and the metaphorical heft of its most distinctive conceit -- the sense of water as a place of spiritual cleansing.
The production's pacing is also intended to flow like water. It's a stream of mesmeric stories presented in unbroken succession, without an intermission. Thanks in part to the sluggishness of some of the material -- particularly the myths of Erysicthon and Baucis and Philemon, which eschew the water -- the experience feels about twice as long as its 105 minutes.

He decided on the latter.
"There is nothing like the college experience," he said. "Mississippi State is on the rise right now, and I have a feeling that we are going to win a College World Series. I want to be a part of that and help get us there."
Jacob Lindgren made his final decision two days ago, and called Coach Cohen and Thompson and let them know. Both coaches were excited to hear the good news for their program.
His decision is not all baseball related. Lindgren knows at Mississippi State it will be about much more than just playing baseball for him and it was too good of a situation for him to pass up.
"I can't wait to get the entire college experience like going to football games, that can be pretty crazy," he added. "I want to get my education, which has always been very important to me and my family."
Lindgren is still undecided about his major at this point.
Looking ahead, he is happy to be brought in with a top notch class and players he has played with and against for quite some time.
"I think it is a great group of guys that are coming in," he said. "There is some great athletes, and though we'll be young, we are going to be really good."
He is happy to have this decision behind him.
"I am definitely very relieved right now," he said. "It is just great to have this decision made (because) it has really been weighing on me the past several months. Now I can just relax and get ready for college. It feels really good."
The lefty hopes working with the Mississippi State coaches will help him continue to develop as a pitcher.
"I probably will say my command is one thing I need to work on," he said. "I can always get better with my command, and as a left-handed pitcher I know if I can spot my pitches I can come in and be successful next season."

Bluxome Street Winery
It's a little known fact that California winemaking stated not in Napa or Sonoma, but right here in San Francisco - SOMA, to be exact. Home to heroes and scoundrels, artists and working men, familiar to the likes of Isadora Duncan and Jack London, SOMA was the stuff of legend - not to mention the birthplace of great wine. In fact, no less than 120 wineries and commercial cellars called SOMA home. Sadly, the 1906 earthquake ended many of the dreams in this neck of the worrds, and whatever spark remained alive was quickly snuffed by the 18th amendment. Until now that is.
Bluxome Street Winery - open in the heart of SOMA from high noon until 7pm Tuesday through Sunday.

Auction launched – fund raiser for top young Mount surfers
Immediate Release 10/4/2014
Auction launched – fund raiser for top young Mount surfers
A plea has been launched for support for top sibling surfers - in their bid to keep going on the world contest circuit.
The brother and sister, Jonas 15, and Elin (13 years old) Tawharu, from Mount Maunganui, who've been competing in the 2014 Vissla ISA World Junior Surfing Champs in Ecuador.
The pair made the 12-strong Kiwi team after winning the Under 16 girls' and boys' New Zealand national champs in
Jonas started surfing as an 11-year-old, and Elin took up the sport aged nine.
Jonas and Elin wold love to make it through their respective heats, but as first time contenders and being so young in their age groups, the pair realise they need the overseas experience at this level.
Without backing from any big surf industry sponsors, the Tawharu family been forced to try and think of novel ways to increase their profile and raise funds.
Recently they made a short clip that appears on The Telecom Foundation givealittle website where people can pledge their support.
Now, Mount Surf Shop, with two stores at Mount Maunganui, has pitched in with 'the ultimate surf package,' everything from surfboard to sunblock, to auction as a fund raiser.
"Pulling enough funds together to travel and compete on the world stage is a huge challenge, even when major surf companies sponsoring surfboards and other equipment are backing you," says their father John Tawharu, "so we're very grateful to the Mount Surf Shop and their suppliers for donating this package to put up for auction on Trademe."
Even getting the children to Venezuela to compete put us under quite a bit of financial strain and we were forced to borrow to meet a shortfall and get the kids there, he admits.
"The tough reality is that our children have proven they have the ability, but to continue to compete overseas and realise their surfing goals will take a sustained and serious-fund raising effort."
Mr Tawharu says they appreciate those who've already got behind Jonas and Elin, including Whangamata surfboard shaper Peter Anderson and Bruce Narbey of Freestyle Performance Watches.
"We are well aware of the many demands on people to donate for a variety of good causes, and times have been tough."
But aside from bidding, we'd be grateful for any small amounts that people can spare via givealitte (http://www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/GoEcuador), Mr Tawharu says.
Co-owner of the Mount Surf Shop Scott Waddell says their donation of the package partly reflects trying to "cut down some of the stress on their parents" struggling to support the children's' surfing goals.
He says the store was in a position where, with help from their suppliers, they could put together the full kit – and start the ball rolling, "so hopefully it turns into something bigger.
Mr Waddell says the reality is that without a loyal customer base, both their store and suppliers wouldn't be in business, so "it's a great thing" to be able to put something back into the sport and the local community.
"You've got to remember that these kids are off around the world representing their country, and they deserve as much help as other aspiring athletes."
The Mount Surf Shop auction package includes brand new 6' Arcade Fish surfboard, Creatures of Leisure board bag, standard fins, FCS tail pad and Ocean and Earth leg rope – plus a Rip Curl wetsuit. Other items are a Rip Curl Driver Watch, O'Neill towel, rash vest and hat, and the kit even runs to 22 blocks of board wax and sun screen.

Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth
eBook (ePub)
Price: $4.80
The Discourse on the Method is a philosophical and autobiographical treatise written by René Descartes. Its full name is Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences. The Discourse on The Method is best known as the source of the famous quotation "I think, therefore I am", which occurs in Part IV of the work. The Discourse on the Method is one of the most influential works in the history of modern philosophy, and important to the evolution of natural sciences. In this work, Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism, which had previously been studied by Sextus Empiricus, Al-Ghazali and Michel de Montaigne. Descartes modified it to account for a truth he found to be incontrovertible. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/3/2014 (1220 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
From Austria and Switzerland to Japan and Namibia, Rajaton has inspired audiences around the world.
Since the Finnish a cappella ensemble formed in 1997, they have performed in more than 25 countries and released 13 albums.
For the first time, the six-voice group is in Brandon, where they are hosting workshops and performing at the Brandon Jazz Festival.
"We meet wonderful people, and the reason we formed the group is that we have a dream that we could really let the music flow through us," soprano Essi Wuorela said. "Music is such an important thing to us."
The group performs 100 to 150 concerts every year. Before coming to Brandon, they were in Vancouver and Winnipeg.
"We found out that this is clearly a province with wonderful singers," she said.
They will return to Finland where they have multiple concerts planned, and will return to North America later this spring. They will perform in Washington, D.C., Toronto and New York City.
On Friday at the 32nd annual Brandon Jazz Festival, Rajaton put on a workshop for students in the Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium.
"It's wonderful because … we get to meet those people," Wuorela said. "People here in Canada have no problem supporting and being open … so that's great because Finns are so reserved."
The WMCA workshop was packed with students, who asked questions of Rajaton and broke out in cheers following the group's performances.
Grade 7 student Madeleine Wiebe, a big fan of Rajaton, said she "freaked out" when she realized she would be seeing the group at the festival.
"Two years ago my brother showed me a video of them singing 'Butterfly' and ever since I've wanted to meet them," she said.
Rajaton means "boundless," which describes the group's diversity of repertoire, singing style and stage presentation.
"It's really cool how they can make the instrument noises with their voice and how it all blends," said Grade 7 student Annalise Neufeld.
Festival director Brent Campbell is thrilled to have the world-famous ensemble in Brandon for the festival.
"We have the hottest vocal choir in the world in here," he said. "We've worked two years to bring them into the Brandon Jazz Festival."
Wiebe, along with some 130 classmates, travelled from Winnipeg's Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute to take part in the festival.
"Our school really prides itself on its music program, it's something we like to do well," said parent chaperone Heather Neufeld. "So this is a chance for them to see how far you can go with music."
About 4,500 people are in Brandon for the three-day festival, which wraps up today. Jazz bands and vocal ensembles from across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are participating.
"It's predominantly high school and junior high, but we do have some elementary groups that come in," Campbell said.
There are 175 school groups attending the festival, where they perform for adjudicators and clinicians and get feedback from professionals.
"They attend workshops and clinics … evening concerts and they listen to each other perform," Campbell said. "It's all non-competitive … it's just kids listening to each other and learning."
Judges for the festival come from all over North America, including Toronto, Calgary, Boston, Chicago and New York.
Campbell, who has been involved with the festival for the past 26 years, said he hopes students are inspired by the experience.
He hopes they become "enthused" about music and see all the possibilities as they grow.
Rajaton's final concert is tonight at 8 p.m. at the WMCA.

The Israeli army blamed the killing of two Israeli soldiers on the Palestinian Preventive Security in Gaza, headed by Colonel Mohammed Dahlan, reported Haaretz on Friday.
Two soldiers, Lieutenant Edward Mechnick, 21 from Be'er Sheva, and Sergeant Samer Hussein, 19, from Hurfeish, were killed Thursday in separate incidents in the Gaza strip, and three others were injured.
The security cabinet was meeting late last night to consider a response.
Mechnick was killed at one of the joint District Coordination Offices (DCO) set up to liaise between Israel and the Palestinian Authority on security matters. Israel consequently closed all DCOs, effectively ending the coordination of security activities between the two sides.
However, the Palestinians did not respond to the Israeli "orders" and "are still occupying DCOs," according to The Jerusalem Post – (Several Sources)

Could we just go back to that old inscrutable
Now that Fed chairman
"It will be hard now to take seriously Fed officials' speeches and testimonies," says Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, based in White Plains, New York.
Without going that far,
"The local approach [at the Reserve Bank of Australia] to that is not to give forward guidance because they realise that there's a great deal of uncertainty about the future," Bloxham, a former Reserve Bank of Australia official, tells The Australian Financial Review. But the RBA is caught in the uncertainty. Its decision to leave the cash rate at 2.5 per cent two weeks ago may have been influenced by an expectation that the Fed would taper, easing upward pressure on the Aussie dollar.
Now that the dollar is rising again, the RBA must try to second-guess what the Fed will do in the next few months in order to decide what it should do with local rates.
The dangers are starkly illustrated by the spike in the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds – the benchmark for US government and housing finance.
It almost doubled to just under 3 per cent before coming off sharply after the Fed's no-taper announcement.
The Fed cited the depressing impact of rising mortgage rates on the housing recovery – a key ingredient in the wider US recovery – as one reason for delaying the much advertised taper.
Fed officials hadn't expected markets to push bond yields up that far, that fast. That's an illustration of the great uncertainty that surrounds the forward guidance now being practised by the Fed and the central banks in Europe, Britain and Japan.
Topsy-turvey logic
Another danger – and source of uncertainty – is the unhealthy dependency of financial markets on quantitative easing (QE) and the topsy-turvy logic that creates. "Good" news can be "bad", because it brings QE3's withdrawal closer, and vice versa.
By the time a Fed meeting is nearly upon us, and a market consensus has emerged around what it's going to do, most if not all of the economic data that the Fed will be dealing with is known. There is still great uncertainty about the impact of QE3.
But the greatest uncertainty is how the Fed itself is going to respond to the state of the economy revealed by the data, as well as to market responses to the economy and to the Fed's guidance.
Bloxham calls this "reaction function uncertainty". Multiple feedback loops through the various players in the drama make it extremely difficult to predict how any one of them will behave, let alone how the whole equation will tumble out.
Ironically, the Fed developed its forward guidance policy as a way of providing more certainty by reassuring the investors it would continue to support markets and growth through the volatility of the financial crisis.
Apart from pumping unprecedented stimulus into the financial markets after the crisis – via near zero rates and bond purchases verging on $US3 trillion – Bernanke and his vice-chairman and heir apparent
They advertised that the Fed's near-zero short-term funds rate policy would stay in place for "a considerable time". Then they put a date on the near-zero funds rate – initially "through late 2014". They set a 2 per cent inflation target.
Last December they nominated a 6.5 per cent unemployment threshold for raising the funds rate as they cranked QE3 – the Fed's third round of quantitative easing or bond buying – up to its current $US85 billion monthly rate. Everyone cheered. Transparency is a great thing. The more we knew the better, or so we thought.
But some Fed policymaking committee members began to debate whether QE was working, whether the Fed's $US3 trillion portfolio of US bonds was creating "distortions" in financial markets and the risks associated with inevitable withdrawal of QE.
They were only in the minority, but investors took fright at the appearance of dissent. Bernanke and his fellow doves, who formed a solid majority, sought to reaffirm their commitment to maintaining QE for as long as it was needed to support a sluggish economy. But in doing so they had to concede that if it worked and the economy recovered as they thought it would, then they would have to wind back the purchases.
Uttered fateful words
In May, testifying before the US Congress, Bernanke uttered the fateful words that this could happen "within the next few meetings". Investors ignored his proviso – that there had to be a "substantial" and "sustained" improvement in the jobs market for this to happen – and sent stocks and bonds into a dive.Since then investors have been on near-permanent "Fed watch", pushing stocks higher, lower and higher again through cycles of good and bad economic data, ceaseless talk of a QE taper by Fed officials, and unpredictable market feedback loops.
Unfortunately investors thought they knew more, but didn't seem to recognise that what they didn't know was bigger than what they knew. In the uncertainty, they clustered variously around what they wanted to hear – "QE3 is here to stay" – or any perceived consensus, such as a $US10 billion taper.
In a further irony, the greater the uncertainty, the more Fed officials feel compelled to provide more guidance on how they are going to respond.
But the unprecedented nature of QE policy – there is no road map for withdrawal – makes it very difficult to understand what impact it is having on the economy.
"I think there's a great deal of uncertainty about what the future holds, and it's very difficult to know what monetary policy settings are going to be required ahead of time," Bloxham says.
"The reality is it's very hard to do. You cannot make a decision before the decision is ready to be made. I know that sounds circular, but that's really what the case is."

On October 4, 2016, the Friends of Chester Valley Trail were recognized by the County Commissioners for their significant contributions to the trail's operations and development. They were acknowledged for their most recent and significant accomplishment - contributing 100% of the funds for safety improvements to the Foundry Way intersection located in East Whiteland Township. Signage and line striping were installed and applied to PennDOT standards by an outside contractor at a total improvement cost of $6500.00. The Friends are also funding a traffic study to further improve safety at that intersection.

Video games a flash point in Connecticut school rampage's aftermath
The National Rifle Association and others call violent video games a spark for real-life brutality.
But those urging increased scrutiny of the industry because of reports that such video games enthralled the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter should look to previous efforts. Scholars warn that past attempts to regulate the industry fell flat, sometimes on free-speech grounds.
Research links violent gaming with aggressive tendencies, but no studies definitively peg them as a cause of fatal attacks, researchers said.
"I wouldn't be surprised to see different legislatures or different politicians introducing measures, trying to see if we can have more studies of kids and violent games. It's a high-profile thing," said Mia Consalvo, a faculty member and Canada Research Chair in Game Studies and Design at Montreal-based Concordia University.
"Unfortunately, it's one thread among many," Consalvo said. "It's kind of looking for an easy solution when there probably isn't one."
Adam Lanza, 20, who killed his mother before fatally shooting 20 children, six adults and himself on Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn., played graphic video games such as "Call of Duty," according to published reports.
Within days of the massacre, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., introduced legislation that would order the National Academy of Sciences to investigate how violent video games affect children and to report findings within 18 months.
"I have long expressed concern about the impact of the violent content our kids see and interact with every day," Rockefeller said.
NRA leader Wayne LaPierre picked up the theme last week, flaying "vicious, violent video games" as "the filthiest form of pornography." The NRA did not respond to a Tribune-Review interview request.
Ed Kowalski, 43, of New Kensington said his three stepkids' grades went "through the roof" after they cut back on video games. He said the kids — ages 13, 10 and 8 — often have trouble focusing after playing for extended periods.
"These things take kids into oblivion," Kowalski said. "We believe those age restrictions are important for any kid."
Industry observers said video game criticism is nothing new. A rating system begun in 1994 took shape as technology allowed manufacturers to sell more realistic games. Senate hearings pushed the industry to develop the ratings.
It's up to retailers to verify a buyer's age for purchases of games rated "M" for mature or "AO" for adults only, according to the Entertainment Software Rating Board. A representative for the rating board would not comment, and another key industry group, the Entertainment Software Association, did not respond to calls.
The rating board's website says national retailers refuse to sell M-rated games to underage customers 87 percent of the time, according to a federal review.
The U.S. Supreme Court invoked First Amendment rights in June 2011 when it rejected a California law that would have banned sales to anyone younger than 18. Five years earlier, a federal judge ruled unconstitutional a Michigan law that barred retailers from selling such games to minors. In Utah, then-Gov. Jon Huntsman vetoed a 2009 bill that would have punished stores for selling M-rated games to minors.
State Sen. Leland Yee, a San Francisco Democrat who introduced the ill-fated California bill, said the video game industry since has "done a better job of voluntarily limiting the sale of games to children."
Ohio State University professor Brad Bushman has studied video games and not found a direct causal connection between violent games and extreme behavior.
So many factors fuel violent conduct that it's impossible to identify video games as a singular cause. It's especially complicated to study because ethical researchers cannot give guns and knives to video game fans just to see what happens, he said.
At the same time, Bushman said, research has found ties between violent gaming and generally aggressive behavior. He said the industry could put warning labels on violent games and make it harder for children to buy M-rated games on the Internet.
"I'd be more surprised if Adam Lanza did not play violent video games than if he did play violent video games. Almost everyone his age does," though few become murderers, Bushman said.
The industry evolved its approach over the years, adding a feature that lets gaming system owners lock out adult games, Consalvo said.
"I think we can ask why, as a culture, we enjoy so much violent content, not just in games but in film and television — and why that's so appealing," she said. "But that's a much larger conversation."

This picture is totally misleading about the color. I bought this to put over top of lipstick as a gold gloss. The actual color is brown. Like dark brown. Like the smell but there are some clumps as well.
Smells great!

I love the smell of this- like almond oil. Will buy the bigger container next time.
Love it!
I love this tea, I add warm coconut milk and honey or stevia, YUM!
A little goes a long way!
Good stuff

To me, not as good as Cream of Wheat, but less expensive and more to a package. Iherb's price was excellent. The wheat puffs up a little bit more and has less natural sweetness, definitely need to add the pinch of salt and some sugar. Highly recommend.
Great product

Style: Decadence
Come Autumn, there is often the desire to lean towards warm, rich tones and textures. Pretty and fresh, light cotton blouses are replaced with Autumn-hued, silky ones. Cozy tights and socks are taken out of drawers, velvet pillows are propped on a favorite chair. We often feel the desire to add. As for myself, I look forward to adding layers to the home and wardrobe. Re-discovered favorites come out of storage, yet again, as the temperature drops. Hues of wine, berry, golden, nude, grey and black trickle in... and even more so together, they feel luxurious and a little decadent. What about you—what is your decadence?
+ if you have a few minutes, stop by {this is glamorous} and enjoy this week's {take me away} piece on luggage; a piece that explores different criteria, things to look for, when purchasing quality luggage for yourself or as a gift for a loved one. There are also special ideas and some lovely inspiration to enjoy...

Indeed stylish luggage but often the convenience of smooth rolling and light weight modern pieces does win from style. For on the road when traveling in a car, that is different!

HI Sarah, Lovely post. I love the image of that gorgeous fuschia/berry dress - fabulous colour. And I just have to hunt down that aubergine nail polish (top right) of Tom Ford's (or the nude one on the bottom left?). My decadence is indeed chocolate (no words!) and magazines - together very often...and lipsticks (stains, glosses, cremes, pens, etc, etc!ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend.
And isn't that lip stain in the first picture the most perfect shade of wine! My favourite.
I love the shades of that makeup, they are very elegant, simple and in perfect style with this fall. there's to get inspiration in here!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your day
Sara C.

In terms of average response time, there wasn't any marked improvement with the use of Thunderbolt technology. In fact, average I/O response time during 64K Streaming Reads/Writes tests were almost identical to the point their plotted graphs lined up.
There were slight albeit negligible improvements for the File and Web Servers tests as the higher bandwidth of the Thunderbolt ensured the drive's performance, in terms of average I/O response time, scaled consistently as the queue requests increased from one to five. Like we lamented on the earlier page, these tests don't mimic the typical buyer of this product and the tests were conducted to figure out if Thunderbolt made any difference at all.

Fernando Alonso realistic on Ferrari's pace after frustrating Japanese GP
Team to "evaluate if it is worth bringing" new parts for remaining GPs
By Pete Gill
Last Updated: 13/10/13 12:34pm
Although the Spaniard was able to cross the line in fourth place in order to keep his slender World Championship hopes mathematically alive, Alonso has fallen ninety points behind Sebastian Vettel in the standings and was a peripheral figure in Sunday's race as the F138 struggled to match the speed of the frontrunners.
Having trailed Nico Hulkenberg for much of the 53 laps after moving past team-mate Felipe Massa, Alonso was eventually able to pass the Sauber with seven laps remaining to cement his position at the top of F1's all-time points-scoring chart ahead of Michael Schumacher.
After being informed of his record-breaking feat, the Spaniard tweeted:
To see my name leading the points record for a sport like Formula 1 is something I never imagined. Thanks to everyone! 1571 points.- Fernando Alonso (@alo_oficial) October 13, 2013
However, Alonso was less enthused by another frustrating day at the office.
"The traffic was the story of the race as I was always behind someone," he told Sky Sports F1. "But to be honest, the top three were too strong for us and even without traffic the podium was already settled after the first couple of laps.
"Both Grosjean and Red Bull deserve it because they were quicker than us, so fourth is the maximum we could have achieved, and it was important for the Constructors' Championship today as Mercedes didn't have a good day - so happy for that."
Courtesy of Alonso's fourth place and Felipe Massa's point-scoring tenth, Ferrari have increased their lead over Mercedes in second place in the Constructors' Championship to ten points.
But with Vettel and Red Bull on cusp of landing their fourth successive title double, it appears as if the Scuderia are already contemplating switching focus onto the upcoming challenge of the 2014 'rules revolution'.
"For the last four races, we will evaluate if it is worth bringing some improvements to motivate the drivers and teams over the closing stages of this championship," confirmed technical chief Pat Fry.

Acme Oyster House Restaurant Review: Acme Oyster House's suburban location in Metairie is bigger, a bit more colorful and every bit as loud and fun as the original. You can't miss the neon sign that says "Waitress available sometimes." Black-and-white checkered tablecloths and colorful lighting fixtures combine to create the whimsical atmosphere. Located near a busy shopping district, the place provides an oasis after a full day of fighting the crowds. Gumbo or red beans are served in a bread bowl, known here as the Poopa, a house specialty. Acme also serves one of the most generously portioned fried seafood platters in the city. For a hearty appetite, try the Peace Maker, a combination of fried oysters and fried shrimp on French bread; it was originally known as La Mediatrice, because 19th-century New Orleans husbands took it home to smooth things over with their wives after a night on the town. Finish your meal with Max's Bananas Foster Cheesecake or a good old-fashioned root beer float. Locally produced suds, such as Abita, make the best quaffs with the food. Also located at 724 Iberville St., New Orleans, 504-522-5973; and 1202 N. Hwy. 190, Covington, 985-246-6155.

- Style: Fruit / Vegetable Beer
- Location: USA, Wisconsin
- Brewery: Lakefront Brewery Inc
- Beer site: Pumpkin Lager Beer
- IBU: unknown
In 1989, Lakefront Brewery owner, Russ Klisch was reading a dusty brewing tome, sipping a fine lager, and came across a beer recipe that Thomas Jefferson had brewed with pumpkin at his home in Monticello.
Pours a light orange with an off-white head. Flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves meld well with a slightly sweet background that actually does taste a bit like pumpkin. Caramel and Munich malts reinforce this beer's mouthfeel and lend to the malty sweetness.
Serve this with holiday meals, the spice characters really bring out the depth of full-flavored meats and vegetables.

JERUSALEM (Jul. 14)
The handwritten note tacked to the bulletin board said simply:
"My name is Walla Fried. I was born in Tashkent, where I lived from 1942 to 1945. I was then sent to Buchenwald. I came to Palestine on the Exodus. Beyond my name, I came to Palestine on the Exodus. Beyond my name, I know nothing of my background. Do you?"
Fried, who now goes by the name Shulamit Yardeni, was one of the more than 1,000 Holocaust survivors hoping to find some answers at the second International Hidden Child Conference sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League.
Now in their 50s and 60s, these survivors spent much of their childhood in hiding. Fifty years later, they are still suffering the consequences.
Most of these survivors were taken in by Christians, many of whom risked their own lives in the process. Often, however, the children were treated with cruelty and neglect.
Yet according to mental health professionals at the conference, virtually all hidden child survivors were severely traumatized by the Holocaust, regardless of how well they were cared for. It is only now, five decades later, that many are coming to terms with their feelings.
The goal of the conference, said conference chairwoman Ann Shore, was "to encourage the participants to share, rather than repress, their experiences" through a series of workshops on such topics as "How to Discuss the Holocaust with Your Children" and "What Am I, a Christian or a Jew?"
A room was set aside where the survivors could record their personal histories on videotape.
"For many years we were a generation of silence," said ADL National Director Abraham Foxman, who spent the war in hiding with his Polish Catholic nursemaid.
"Silence was the key to our survival," he said. "We were told to never reveal our real names or the fact that we were Jewish.
"Even after the war years, the trauma was so great that we repressed our feelings. I suppose we were trying to protect ourselves and our children," Foxman said.
"There's an anger among hidden children, not only because there are those who say the Holocaust never happened, but because so many people regard it as history. It is not history. It is here, alive — the scars, the tears, the pain, the anguish," he said.
Some of the people in this group, including Foxman, had just attended a first-ever gathering in Poland of Jews and their Christian rescuers.
For Pola Jasphy, who now lives in Hillside, N.J., the scars have never healed. Born in Rovno, Poland, Jasphy went into hiding at the age of 14.
"Between 1941 and 1944, when I was liberated by the Russians, I lost everyone I loved. My mother disappeared one day after bringing food to some cousins. It still don't know exactly what happened to her.
"Soon after, my father took my brother, my aunt and me into hiding in the forest nearby. My father paid a Polish peasant to give us shelter, and we lived in an underground storage bin for four months.
We had to move to the pigsty after snakes entered the storehouse," Jasphy recalled.
In March 1943, the German army entered the farm where Jasphy was hiding.
"They shot my father and brother, and were about to walk into the sty when another soldier called them away. The farmer told me and my aunt we had to leave that evening. My aunt was killed a few months later," Jasphy said.
Fifty years later, Jasphy still suffers from nightmares. "It was difficult for me to describe how I was feeling to others so I internalized everything," she said. "I was a fearful, overprotective mother and I always felt that I had to be an overachiever."
At the conference, she said, "I can share these feelings with others who experienced similar things. After the war, every one of us asked, 'Should I pretend that I'm a gentile, to camouflage myself and be safe?'
"Every person here has asked himself, 'Why did I survive, and what was the purpose of my survival?'" Jasphy said.
Glancing at the bulletin board, with its pleas for information about lost relatives and friends, Jasphy said, "It's good not to be alone."

|U.S. Department of
Mine Safety and Health Administration
201 12th Street South, Suite 401
Arlington, VA 22202-5450
ISSUE DATE: April 24, 2008
Director for Technical Support
SUBJECT: Final Reports of Geophysical Mine Void Detection
Demonstration Projects
Who needs this information?
This Program Information Bulletin (PIB) is intended for mine operators, independent contractors, miners' representatives, Mine Safety and Health Administration personnel, and other interested parties.
What is the purpose of this PIB?
This PIB informs the mining industry of new and emerging technologies that may assist mine operators in identifying and locating adjacent underground mine workings where the extent and location may not be well defined. The technologies were recently demonstrated to MSHA, and final reports have been provided discussing the benefits and limitations of each method. The reports can be obtained from the MSHA web page at www.msha.gov, or on a CD available from MSHA. To get a copy of the CD contact Sharon K. Taylor by mail at the National Mine Health and Safety Academy, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or phone (304) 256-3257.
In the aftermath of the Quecreek Mine inundation, MSHA received funding of $10 million dollars devoted to mine mapping and void detection. A portion of these funds was distributed to 13 states to improve mine mapping, referencing, and archiving. The remaining funds were used to sponsor void detection demonstration projects. Fifty-eight proposals were received from a variety of universities, geophysical contractors, and independent research corporations. After thorough review and consideration, fourteen of the most promising projects were funded for demonstration. Peer-reviewed final reports of the projects have been provided to MSHA, and are being disseminated to the mining industry to increase the awareness of these available methods and technologies and the potential benefits and limitations. While each of the methods and technologies may provide significant benefits to the mining industry, they are intended to supplement other methods available to identify adjacent mine workings such as sufficient drilling of boreholes ahead of mining and exhaustive searches for all sources of information on past mining.
What is the background for this PIB?
There have been many instances of active mines unintentionally cutting into adjacent mines which were not properly identified prior to mining. The location and extent of old workings were often unknown because mine maps were unavailable, or existing maps were incomplete or inaccurate. There is a significant risk of water and gas inundations when cutting into adjacent mine workings, especially abandoned mine workings. Unknown mines can also present a threat to structures, such as waste disposal impoundments. The mining industry must address the serious safety concerns associated with abandoned mines using a variety of methods and techniques. This PIB is intended to increase industry awareness of additional methods for detecting adjacent mine workings and voids.

Statement by Parliamentary State Secretary Kopp of the Ministry of Economic Development at the 2011 ECOSOC High-Level Segment in Geneva
Honorable Chair,
Gentlemen and Ladies,
• We expressly welcome the initiative of the UN Economic and Social Council to
make the topic "Education and Development" the topical focus of this year's
High-level Segment. We all agree that the educational goals are at the heart of
the international development agenda.
• I am therefore very pleased to be able to make a presentation today about how
German development policy is contributing to the achievement of the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Education for All (EFA)
goals by supporting education in developing countries and emerging
What education means for development
• Support for education is very much a core instrument of German
development cooperation.
• That is because we regard education as a prerequisite for development in
all areas – i.e. for economic, political, social and cultural development.
• We are all agreed that education is essential for achieving all the MDGs and
that it is also a catalyst for other development policy goals such as climate
protection and good governance.
• In addition to that, education – regardless of development policy goals – is a
human right and therefore something we should be supporting per se!
• Good education is active poverty reduction. Especially in developing
countries and particularly in crisis regions, fragile states or in the case of
disadvantaged groups, education and training are a way to escape the
downward spiral of poverty and lack of prospects.
• For example, each additional year of education and training increases a
person's average earnings over his or her lifetime by 10 per cent.
• Only when people receive a sound education do they have the chance to take
control of their own destinies, make decisions and bring about change.
• Thus the sustainable and successful development of a country depends very
much on a functioning, high-quality education system with fair access for all.
• In our view, strong partner countries with a well-educated population are
very important for jointly overcoming global challenges!
Deficits in the education sector in developing countries
• However, we all know that many countries – and by that I do not just mean
developing countries – are still miles away from reaching the EFA goals and
the MDGs and that they have major deficits in the education sector.
• There are about 67 million children across the world who do not attend
school at all, and more than half of them are girls. Almost half of all the
children in the world who do not go to school live in Africa, with a further
quarter living in South and Western Asia.
• In developing countries only about one quarter of the population has
mastered basic skills like reading and writing – even if they finished school.
• This is because, very often, the teachers are not trained well enough, so that
their pupils have still not acquired basic skills even after attending school for
five years. One area of action for our development cooperation is therefore
addressing the poor quality of education.
• There are many places where school infrastructure and supplies of teaching
materials are lacking in state schools and educational establishments. For
example, there are no pencils, no boards to write on, no books and sometimes
not even a roof overhead so that the pupils are protected from the elements.
• And the classes are often too big, so that there are about 30 countries
around the world where a pupil-teacher ratio of 40:1 has still to be achieved.
• In many countries, girls are denied access to education. In some cases there
are only about 60 girls attending school for every 100 boys.
• Sometimes whole sections of the population are excluded from access to
education - ethnic minorities, members of a religious community, child
labourers, people with handicaps or socially weak members of society.
• Democracy, the rule of law and peace are in danger when equal access to
education is not safeguarded. Educational poverty divides societies and
cements unjust structures.
• Another challenge is that, in the poorest countries, only a fraction of those born
in each year graduate from university. For many the costs of further
education and university are too high.
• In many countries, the education budget is underfinanced. This means, for
example, that teachers' salaries are not paid or are so low that educated
people do not want to be teachers.
• When we talk about education we mainly think of schoolchildren. But
educational poverty does not stop at children: the number of illiterate adults is
also alarmingly high: there are 759 million people in the world who are not
able to read or write. By comparison: Europe has about 739 million inhabitants.
• More than half of all illiterate people live in just 4 Asian countries. In sub-
Saharan Africa one in three adults is illiterate.
• That is why the German government says: Education is the key to
• What do we mean by that? How is German development cooperation helping
to promote education?
How education is viewed within German development cooperation
• For the German government supporting education is extremely important
and there is a consensus among all German ministries that more should be
done to achieve a sustainable improvement in education as part of our
cooperation with developing and emerging countries.
• A good example to show just how important education is felt to be is the
German government's Africa Strategy, which was recently adopted and
which all German ministries were involved in preparing.
• The German government has made education one of the key areas of
German development policy.
• Thus we are working to bring about free access to high-quality education for all
people throughout all phases of their lives.
• As we support education in developing and emerging countries we are striving,
with our partners, to achieve the sustainable strengthening of education
systems as a whole.
• With lifelong learning as our guiding principle, we are therefore advocating
a holistic approach to education, one that takes all forms and areas of
education into account – from early childhood education to primary education,
to secondary education, to technical vocational education and training (TVET),
higher education and adult education.
• Using this approach we are seeking to support the efforts of our partner
countries to be able to offer all people high-quality education accessible at
all times in accordance with their situation in life, skills and educational needs.
• No one should be excluded, at any phase of their lives!
New BMZ Education Strategy
• For the first time Germany has therefore drawn up an education strategy for
German development policy that addresses all areas of education – from
early childhood education to adult education.
• Together with our partners within Germany and abroad we have identified ten
objectives to be pursued so as to provide sustainable support for education in
developing and emerging countries and contribute to the achievement of the
• The Education Strategy is intended as a guideline for all official German
development cooperation, making cooperation in the education sector more
efficient, effective and coordinated.
• I also consider it important to emphasise that the format for this Strategy is
new! It is a political reference document – and not a technical
implementation handbook!
• Moreover, as the Education Strategy shows, a new era of cooperation has
begun in German development policy: the elaboration of the Education
Strategy was and is a joint process, one in which all our partners are involved
– from civil society to the private sector.
• Federal Minister Niebel presented the draft Strategy at an international
conference in Berlin on 1 March 2011, where it was discussed with
representatives from the fields of science, civil society, business and politics.
• Since the draft was presented we have been busy discussing and further
elaborating particularly important and complex aspects of the Strategy within
the framework of expert conferences with national and international partners.
• Today is also a very good opportunity for doing this! I look forward to hearing
your comments. For example, we have already received valuable
suggestions from the FTI Secretariat. I would like to take this opportunity to say
thank you for the input!
• We will continue gathering, discussing and considering all written and spoken
comments until 18 September and will strive to include them in the draft
Education Strategy as far as possible, so that we can present a final version
towards the end of this year.
• I would like to briefly outline for you the ten objectives of the Education
• One: We will be increasing funding for education worldwide. For example, in
2010, we increased our bilateral commitments for education by a good 10 per
cent against 2009 and we will continue to increase them.
And because we see Africa as a continent of opportunities, we want to step up
our efforts in the field of education in Africa in particular. In 2009, some 50 per
cent of German ODA for basic education was already going to Africa. Our
target is to double bilateral funding for education in Africa by 2013.
And we hope to make education one of the agreed priority areas of
cooperation with an increasing number of partner countries. In addition,
we will of course continue to support education even when it is not a priority
• Two: We want to support the whole spectrum of education and strengthen
education systems in their entirety. We all know that it is essential when you
start providing support for primary education that you have some idea what will
become of the eventual school leavers.
To complement our bilateral education programmes for developing countries
we also want to carry on being actively involved in the education pledges of
the multilateral organisations and the EU, discussing our holistic approach
in those forums.
• Three: We want to improve the quality of basic education and access to it,
because basic education is the foundation of the entire education system and
of each individual learning experience.
For us, key areas here, especially for quality improvement, are gender
equality, promoting education from early childhood onwards, integrating
particularly disadvantaged groups and teacher training.
And we want to further strengthen the Education for All – Fast Track
Initiative, which is a very important multilateral approach in the area of primary
education. In order to establish more effective procedures and structures and
also increase the political will of all the partners involved in this initiative, we
are going to be working to move the reform of EFA-FTI forward.
Within the framework of our bilateral cooperation in the education sector we
see a special responsibility in the case of fragile states and states facing
conflict situations. We are therefore using bilateral resources in close
cooperation with the Fast Track Initiative for a regional programme in Africa
that supports partner countries when they apply for FTI funds.
• Four: For fifty years Germany has been a reliable, innovative and valued
partner in the field of technical vocational education and training (TVET) and
also the world's biggest donor in this field, with ODA disbursements of
75 million euros in 2009. And we plan to expand TVET still further.
Building on the basic principles of the dual vocational training system –
particularly demand-oriented, decentralised, practice-based, modular training –
we will therefore be initiating new vocational training partnerships between the
private and the public sector in our partner countries.
We will be doing more in the way of working with the private sector to train
skilled workers on the ground – especially for sectors of the future such as
renewable energy or natural resources.
Moreover we would like to test new development policy instruments and
innovative forms of cooperation whilst at the same time involving all important
players from the field of TVET. That is why we are launching an ideas
competition for "Innovative partnerships between the BMZ and the private
sector and civil society in the field of vocational training".
• Five: Because we do not want the potential that exists in our partner countries
to be squandered any longer, we will be supporting talented individuals in our
partner countries by expanding higher education.
We want to provide more support for returnees in order to avoid brain drain
and help boost the academic strata of society in our partner countries.
• Six: We want to test new development instruments and innovative forms
of cooperation.
• Seven: We want greater inclusion of all important stakeholders. We see
education as a task for society as a whole. Governments, civil society and the
private sector need to talk to one another and cooperate with one another on
creating a palette of educational options that is both needs-oriented and
• Eight: We will work more closely with the private sector, boosting private
companies by training skilled specialists – calling on those companies to do
their bit by providing training places.
• Nine: We want to make our efforts in the field of education more effective.
• Ten: We want to bring development policy to the people and raise public
awareness with regard to supporting education in developing countries. And
we want to encourage more civil society involvement in this context.
• Gentlemen and Ladies, I am really very pleased to have the chance to make
this presentation today on German support for education within the framework
of development policy at such an important event and in front of so many
international partners and partner countries.
• I hope that I have been able to show that education is truly a matter of great
concern to the German government.
• Germany is seeking with its new Education Strategy to do more to meet its
development policy responsibilities and to make a very real contribution
towards the achievement of the MDGs and the Education for All (EFA) goals.
• I thank you for your attention and look forward to continuing our work together!

In a conference call with analysts today, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer says they will wait "another week or two" before deciding whether they will make a sequel to 'Ender's Game', which was released in theaters one week ago today. He also mentioned they are considering a TV series spinoff.
According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, Ender's Game has earned $32.5 million as of Wednesday, November 6.
If they do a TV series spinoff, do you think they'd do something completely original in the Enderverse or try to follow the Shadow series or Ender in space? Do you think Asa Butterfield would be asked back as Ender for television and on that note, would he even do television? Let us know what you think in the comments!

A group of residents is suing San Diego County and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention for more than $100 million for not putting out the Cedar fire before it became unmanageable.
Attorneys behind the suit, filed last week on behalf of about a dozen people, are asking the court to give the suit class-action status to include anyone who suffered losses in the deadly fire, which began in October 2003.
Five of the 15 plaintiffs named in the complaint are Ramona residents; most of the others reside in Julian.
Fourteen people died and more than 2,200 homes were destroyed by the Cedar fire, which, at more than 273,000 acres, was deemed the largest wildfire on record in California.
Attorney Nate Northup of the San Diego County counsel's office said he could not comment on the suit because it had not yet been served to the county. Attorneys for CDF could not be reached for comment Monday.
At the root of the suit are claims that the county and CDF "failed to provide adequate or timely fire suppression activities" to fight the blaze in the minutes after it was reported. The suit also suggests that the fire facilities at the Ramona airport, near to the fire's origins, were not properly manned when the fire began.
The suit blames the "lack of interagency cooperation" between the county and forestry officials for not getting the fire out when it was small enough to get under control.
"The only time man really had an opportunity (to put out the fire) is at its early stage," said Mark Grotefeld, whose national firm, Grotefeld and Denenberg, filed the suit.
The suit says actions by the county and state officials were "tantamount to gross malfeasance."
"We are not holding them responsible for starting the fire," Grotefeld said, "but we are looking at the actions of the agencies in the first couple of hours (after the fire started)."
Grotefeld and Denenberg has four offices across the county and specializes in "catastrophic litigation."
Chicago-based Grotefeld said in a phone interview from Chicago on Monday that his firm also recently filed a suit related to the Padua fire, which was a branch of the Grand Prix fire in San Bernardino County. That fire burned at about the same time as the Cedar fire.
Federal prosecutors have blamed the start of the Cedar fire on a stranded hunter, Sergio Martinez of West Covina. Martinez pleaded not guilty two months ago to federal charges that he lit the blaze and later lied about its origins to officers.
