Lightweight, waterproof support. Get everything you've ever wanted in a mountaineering boot in the Trango.
The La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot received a 2004 Backpacker magazine Editor's Choice Award. This boot, weighs in at a super light 2lb 10oz, one of the reasons it's won favor with mountaineering gurus worldwide. The Gore-Tex membrane is guaranteed waterproof, while remaining breathable. La Sportiva took their climbing shoe background to heart when they created the snug-fitting Trango's lacing system with lace lock. Another feature that sets the Trango apart from the competition is the 3D Flex ankle-hinge system. This support system remains flexible from side to side while providing stability when front pointing in crampons. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY.

LaSportiva S EVO GTX is fantastic
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 46
The boot does run a bit small - order 1/2 size bigger from other LaSportiva boots and you should be good. Comfortable on trails in the White Mtns with capacity for snow and glacier travel with flexible crampons. Plan on wearing mine on an upcoming month long trip to New Zealand for backpacking and light mountaineering adventures. I give them 5 stars
Great boot!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 43
I got these boots several months ago as my first pair of mountaineering boots for a Mt. Shasta climb. Being the fourteen year old that I am, I wanted something that didn't break the bank, were functional, and made with quality , and good looks didn't hurt either. The moment I tried these on, I knew that these would be the boots that would take me to the summit. Fast forward 4 months after I got them, with a decent amount of break in hikes, it was time to prove themselves, and they did so flawlessly! Every other member of the seminar got blisters on their feet at one point or another because of terrible rented boots; all except me. They were comfortable on the hike to base camp, and comfortable on summit day. The only part of me that wasn't cold at the summit were my feet, thanks to my trangos. And with a trip to France next year, with my mom talking about a potential mont blanc ascent, they have much more climbing in store.
Fantastic boot!

I have fairly narrow feet which consistently gives me footwear trouble. Sportiva is the only brand of climbing shoe that fits me reasonably well so after some trouble finding last minute boots for a trip to RMNP I ordered these without trying them on. I definitely got lucky with the fit, the first day I put them on I did 12 miles - no blisters, no hot spots, and I've worn them for every long hike I've done since I bought them and they're holding up great. I'm saying they run a little small, only because any boot that doesn't won't fit me well. I have a size 45, and I wear a 10.5-11 street shoe, but 45.5 climbing shoes.
They also look great, if your'e into that.
Summer mountaineering
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Had the pleasure of going on CAMP USA's Adventure week with some of my Expert Gearhead comrades and the guys from CAMP threw all the gear out on the table(or the hood of a vehicle). We spent the whole week camping and climbing with a focus on fast and light, spending all of our time in the high alpine.
These boots are a great choice for a light weight summer mountaineering boot. The fit was perfect with a light sock. I did make the mistake of not bringing my gaiters along but even with some snow coming through the top of the boot my feet stayed dry and warm.
The support that these boots give allowed for a long alpine climb and descent. We did a 2 pitch ice climb and the sole gave the rigidity needed to stick the crampons with confidence.

How do these boots do with long approaches? I've been using my Nepal's and they are killing my feet on the long approaches.

Great 3 Season Boot
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These boots are light on the feet and easy to walk in, making them great for summer mountaineering. Warm enough for any summer time summit in the Lower 48 and mild winter conditions. I just used this boot during CAMP USA's adventure week, the boot performed well on the muddy approach, 3 pitch ice route, and steep scree fields nearing the summit.

Fit is a little more narrow in the toe box but worked well for my standard fit foot. The boot does seem to have a high arch, which again worked well for me. If you have a wide flat foot you might want to consider something else.

great boot
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 44.5
used on California 14ers and Mt Shasta during warm conditions. work great as long as it isn't too cold. heel cup doesn't grab as well as my other la sportivas (nepals, makalus), best way to describe it is the boot overall is a little bit more shallow. I also used these on Pico de Orizaba in cold conditions and my feet froze, I also thought that on the steeper sections of the glacier I could have used a little bit more support around the ankles. Once the sun came out around 7am the boots were plenty warm though. Wish they had a front toe welt for automatic crampons, gotta get trango extremes for that. I would say that these boots offer a trade off. when approaching, descending and in warmer conditions the are awesome. when I don't like them is when things get really steep and the weather gets colder. So on trips where it is only cold in the morning and the steep sections aren't as long and sustained ill pick these over heavier duty boots such as Nepals. I may have cold feet in the morning and put a little more wear and tear on my ankles/feet on the steep sections but the trade off is worth weight and comfort these boots offer on other parts of a climb. A good way to describe these boots compared to other mountaineering boots is that they don't feel like you are wearing a "boot" as much as a stiff soled tennis shoe
Love these, but quite snug
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 45
I've worn these for about four seasons in the Sierra Nevada. If they fit, they are the perfect California climbing boot - stiff enough to climb well and warm enough to handle our current winters. But ... on the small side; I ordered a 45, my normal size. 45.5 was too long to climb well. I found them super snug through the toe box but they'd loosen a bit after they warmed for an hour, and I had to be careful walking downhill to avoid toenail damage.
The new Cube seems to be a slightly looser fit, so I'll be trying that next.
Numb toes and minus a toenail
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
Purchased European equivalent to a 12, my normal size with average socks. These things, out of the box, felt fine and worked well for a short trip into the Sierras. However, every use after caused numbing of my toes due to the compression in the tight toe box; look at the aggressive toe.
These boots climb well, I wore them on wet 5.7/5.8 in the Cascades and felt comfortable. However, kicking steps will destroy your toes in these if you have a wide foot like I do.
I have had Sportiva approach shoes a long time ago, Exum Ridge, and really loved the fit and feel of the Crosslite Trail Runners, but I should have listened to everyone that told me the Reds are super tight on the toes.
light, narrow

lightest boot ever! too narrow for my foot. :(
Kick a$$
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These boots are a great compromise between a hiker and mountaineering boot. Took them to the Dolomites with me and put a lot of miles on them. Also led 5.7+ on wet, rainy limestone in them. They edge great and are stiff enough to support without being inflexible. Some insulation, but would probably still take my Nepal Evos if I'm gonna be in very cold weather. Love these boots.
(Caveat: I've not owned these particular boots for that long. I own many shoes from La Sportiva and love them.)
Toe box issue
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I'm having issues with my toes getting smashed on descents. I've tried relacing the boots half dozen ways. I'm a 11.5/.75 shoe size and bought true to size. Did I buy to small?
I normally wear a 9.5, and I always size up my boots at least a full size. My Trangos are 11 and the perfect fit for me. Good luck.
these boots will take you places
16 hour hike over glaciers and their outwash fields? Not a problem
Jaunts in the icy woods of New England? Not a problem
They are light, comfortable (if you get the right size), great with or without crampons and just all around reasonable.
Just look at the kinds of places you can go in them!
Great Price, Light Weight, Mid Temp Boot
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I picked these up as a replacement for my Trango Extreme boots that were lost in a house fire. I wanted to shoot for a lighter weight boot and have the comfort of the Trango Extreme's. My first mistake was picking up a size to large (doh) and my second was giving up the warmth for wanting to be a weight weeny. I did manage to take them out on a couple of training hikes, one short hike that I noticed they were a bit big. The large size I was hoping to overcome via a new insole along with my normal Smartwool Trekking socks and a mid-weight liner for warmth. On the second hike with the new insoles I was noticing that I wasn't going to overcome the sizing mistake, but managed to make to a quick winter summit at 9,000' where the temps were in the low 20's. At the summit I noticed my feet becoming cold fast, something I never experienced with the Trango Extreme's. I gritted my teeth to get to the bottom of the snow pack so I could change out into a light weight pair of approach shoes and take a look at the blister damage which was pretty ugly.
These may make a great summer boot where you need the great water protection, but don't expected them to keep you warm on a Mt. Rainier attempt. I'll now wait until the new La Sportiva Nepal Cube is delivered to our distribution center, hopefully soon, and will pick em up for some PNW glaciers later this year.
Best summer boots
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've used these bad boys for it all, long knarly approaches, technical rock climbs, and summer snow/glaciers. Paired them with Petzls Sarken crampons and there's not much that can stop you besides the weather and your own limits. I've also got a handful of my friends using them now. The soles have a short life due to the sticky, soft rubber that enables them to smear up chimneys, but you can get that redone. Favourite pair of boots in my arsenal.
A great all around boot
I did a 5 day backpacking trip in these boots. They worked great always stayed dry. I have been using them for everything to hiking to some LIGHT mountaineering. My only compliant would be that they are not the warmest but that's not what they are for now is it.
Solid Boot
I have been a long-time La Sportiva boot user. Started off with the Makalus, then had the Karakorams for a while. Both of those boots were pretty heavy and in the case of the Makalus, took about a solid month of backpacking to finally break in. I was looking for a great boot that was relatively light versus the prior boots yet provided the same stiffness and ROM without taking forever to break in. The Trangos delivered in all criteria. I will say this though, don't use this boot for backpacking in lower elevations during the height of Summer. Your feet will cook. This is a boot for bagging technical peaks, doing some technical work on mixed snow, rock and ice at moderate elevations.
Great boot, narrow fit
Great boot. I wear a size 14 in Asics, Brooks, Vasque, Columbia etc so I bought the 47.5. Length was fine but the narrow width borders painful.
Funnily enough Backcountry first sent two left boots. They found the right boot and sent it my way a week later. Great customer service.
video flagged as provocative..... Click here to view.
Do these boots have a full shank? I was going to buy these for my husband, he's had 4 or 5 pair of Makalus and really loves them. He needs the full shank for when he's in his hooks and climbing poles. Thanks!
To my knowledge they don't. The Trango Extremes Evo Light GTX should have the shank.
hello, being a lineman i understand the importance of good boots. i also know that you can wear Sportiva with your hooks, they just wear out fast, for their not intended for that. I think your husband would rather have a pair of Nick's, or Whites, or Wesco's. they're full leather with a steel shank and rebuildable. I hope you guys find him the right boots stay safe!
Would these work on a climb for Mt. Shasta? These will be my first boots and I have a budget of only around $350.
For summer: absolutely. these are good with crampons (except for ones with wire toe bail) and my friend who wore them up Shasta had warm feet. I had rented plastics which were no fun for my shins at all. (I now have a pair of la sportivas and highly recommend them as a brand)
For winter, I don't know but perhaps something with more insulation would be better. Ask someone with real winter experience.
*side note: I have the La Sportivas Karakoram boots and, if you snowseal them, they are a brilliant boot for backpacking in PNW and climbing in many of the cascades. The trangos are probably much better for technical alpine stuff.
for walking in double plastics: while leaning forward in your boot, only lace the outer boot to just below the top eyelet. lace the inner as usual, as this will help create friction between the liner and shell, not your foot and the liner.
Hey, Zac! I am chuckling here at your question. Here is why. I am noting this from Alaska. Right. Now, I went to Southern Oregon State; we used to call that SOSC. I know just about every route on Shasta. People ask me, "Why don't you climb Mt. Denali?" I just don't have a polite answer. Now, Mt. Shasta, if you have ever seen it is one, hot, sexy mountain and one of the most unknown, underated mountains in North America, and if the word doesn't get around about that, that works for me. Anyway, about these boots. Check out a mountain in the Anchorage area called the "Williwaw." The first time I did an ice route on that in the winter, Christmas holiday, the temp on my Kestral dialed in at -6f. It kept telling me that, but my feet were not cold, so I thought the Krestral was broken! LOL. Now, I am an old arctic paratrooper and my feet do no like the cold one, single, little bit. So while I am climbing my first ridge in these boots in the dark, I keep looking down at my feet, "Hey, what's wrong, why aren't my feet cold?" Climb another 50 meters, look down, "Hey, there must be something wrong with my temp gauge, because my feet should be cold!" Climb another 50 meters, "This is freaky in the dark up here. I must be getting "halusonogeticallywackizmo'ed" out because I can feel my feet!" Man, I better get off this mountain!!! Climb another 50 meters! Look down, "Man, these are cool looking boots!" It warmed up to about 15F and stayed there. One silk liner, one pair medium socks, and 10 hours on a winter climb on the Williwaw in Anchorage. I was 55. Would I climb Shasta with these with the same rig, one liner, one medium to heavy socks. For me, mate, I would - for me, they are the perfect Shasta book - light, fast, go, climb, hike, move, make the summit. For me, this boot was designed for climbs just like that. Would I take this boot on more technical routes on Shasta? For me, why the hey-ho not? My thought now is, would I take these on the Eiger? Sir, that is a good question - I am not sure. Denali? I don't think so .... Shasta, for me, perfect. Fit them with a liner and heavy sock before you buy. My foot is a EU 43. These boots for me fit that size el perfecto.
Everybody's feet are different. It is hard to say. I have climbed 8 routes on Shasta, only 2 were summer climbs.
Anyone use these ice climbing? If so, what crampons would you recommend: straps, hybrids, or pros? (I'm particularly interested in trying to use grivel g12s or sabertooths, but I don't know which compatibility type to get.)
Hi! These are for ice climbing. Either of those crampons would work. With these boots in particular you need the black plastic toe piece in the crampon. The one that goes over the toe box as opposed to the wire bail in the front. The wire bail in the front would not work with these.
Wooo, there cowboy. I have run through brand X and brand Y, and I put a pair of Grivel G14 on these. It isn't the boot, it was the X and the Y.

Tried these on in a shop here in CO. Tried on a 45 (on sale, and no 44.5). They fit slightly roomy, and am nervous they will pack out and become a sloppy fit. I wear the Boulder X in a 44.5 for summer and fall 14er hikes, and they fit very well with a medium weight Smartwool hiking sock. Im looking to pick these up for snow routes. Should I be concerned with the extra room, or be looking for that as far as layering? This will be my first mountaineering boot, so any help will be awesome.
How would these do for Mt Washington? Doing...
How would these do for Mt Washington? Doing the Presidential Traverse in mid OCT, my regular Asolo FSN won't handle the trek. So looking for more of a mountaineering boot. Thanks
Sure, these could work fine for doing a Presi traverse in OCT, or any time of the year where there is ice and snow up there. Pair these with a good pair of crampons and you'd be in business to hike just about anything in the east, and probably most stuff in the west as well.
No problem .... IMO.
Any one use these for technical ice climbing?...
Any one use these for technical ice climbing? How are they?
I used them for my first season of ice until I got a boot with a toe welt. For newmatic crampons, they work great--plenty stiff enough for vertical ice, you just have to make sure you're using the right crampon.
If you're looking to climb a lot of technical ice, I would go for a boot that has a toe-welt..but there are plenty of ice climbers far better than I am who prefer newmatic style crampons and boots.
Thanks Tom, I ended up going with the silver bullets and love them!

trango weight 1484 / 52 oz
nepal evo 35.7 oz / 1012
is that correct nepal is lighter than trango ?
I think the 35.7 oz listed should be per shoe because I know that those Nepal Evos are just over 4 lbs a pair. These Trangos should be the lighter option of the two.

Attention: Phil Maher/Lexi D,
Do you have another e-mail address I can contact you on that is a little more private than this one? I would like to communicate in a more candid way with either of you regarding these La Sportiva Trango boots,this system is a little to public!?!
regards Mike Moffitt
In what seems to be over 1000 awesome answers to finally have one even slightly off the mark is nice to see that you're human ;)
Thank you, Alexander. As you might have gathered, I have so much respect for people like you that put in the real effort and do the heavy lifting....the honest way.
The same invitation that I extended to Mike here applies to you tenfold. Drop me a line Bro!
likewise man, you mean photobombing isn't heavy lifting?
If I buy a pair of these boots through...
If I buy a pair of these boots through your company are you able to send them to New Zealand?
Hey Mike,
If it was my company, I would be shipping myself to New Zealand, too...
**update** No, La Sportiva can't be shipped outside the US, but I'm positive there aren't any restrictions on shipping me there...unless the State Dept revoked my passport and didn't tell me.
Here's the link for the policy and details:
Hey Mike,
I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, but we actually cannot ship the La Sportiva brand to N.Z. While we can ship to NZ, we cannot ship all brands due to vendor trade restrictions placed upon us by our brands. Unfortunately, we can ship La Sportiva only to North America. If you have a friend or family member living in North America, we would be most happy to send them there for you.
I apologize about the disappointment! And Phil is right, I wish we could both be shipped to New Zealand, what a wonderful place you live in!
Sorry Mike. Thanks Lexi. I never scrolled down past the list itself and missed that entirely.
Can these boots be used for climbing...
Can these boots be used for climbing 6500-7000 m peaks in the Himalayas ?
These are lighter than the Nepal Evo, so I'd suspect they would fall short. You may want to consider a double like the Spantiks.
I think you need a double boot for those kind of altitudes. I used the Scarpa Phantom 6000 on Aconcagua and Denali (with overboot on Denali summit day,for insurance) and they performed well. As other poster said, Spantiks are good, as are Baruntse. It is all about fit.
Looking into buying a pair of boots than...
Looking into buying a pair of boots than would be good for backpacking, approaches, and eventually some snow/ice so these seem to fit the bill pretty well. Basically, i need something stiffer than my Asolos, but not as stiff as my Nepal Evos. Would this be a good medium? Or are there other boots worth considering?
PS: Scarpas and other wider boots don't fit my foot well.
I don't know which Asolo boots you own, but these sound to be the boot you're looking for. The Trangos work well for mild-weather alpine climbs where you need the ankle support of a boot for either the approach or climb, but don't need the stiffness of a full-shank mountaineering boot. With these boots I can easily climb 5.8/AI3 and carry 60 lbs of gear to basecamp. They do have a sticky rubber bottom so if you were planning on using them as a backpacking boot they would get torn up quicker than say a pair of heavy full-grain leather boots, but these will climb technical terrain much better and be more nimble on the approach.
Would these boots or the La Sportiva Glacier...
Would these boots or the La Sportiva Glacier be okay for single pitch ice climbing? Also I want something that can be used on approaches too.
The Glaciers and the Trangos do not have a toe welt, so you would need to use a pair of crampons with a plastic toe basket. This method is great for alpine climbing, though doesn't offer the precise fit/stiffness of a rigid set of crampons with a metal toe bar. Additionally, if you're looking to use these on waterfall ice in the winter you may end up with colder feet than you would like. The Trango S Evo is a great boot for more mild temperatures where you plan on long approaches and single day alpine climbs.
I would instead recommend the Trango Extreme Evos since they have more insulation and a toe welt to accomodate more aggressive crampons. Additonally, these boots will still hike very well as they have the same last and are comfortable enough for a lightweight winter backpacking trip. http://www.backcountry.com/la-sportiva-trango-extreme-evo-light-gtx-mens.

Would these work for Shasta and some 14's in Colorado? I know im eventually gonna need to upgrade but just dont have the cash to do so at the moment
These are great option for the Cascade volcanoes and 14'ers in CO. I have plenty of friends who have summited and worked on Rainier in these boots and found them to be more than capable.
Hi- Is this boot compatible with the Black...
Hi- Is this boot compatible with the Black Diamond Sabaertooth, Serac Pro, or Neve crampons? Thanks. I love these boots; I'm on my 4th pair!

Hi, do these boots take Crampons with anti-balling plates
You really want the anti-balling plates, huh?
The boots are compatible with crampons - just not full auto models. Crampons either come with plates or are compatible with plates. Heck, you could even make your own out of milk jugs and zip ties! So, the answer is yes.
How do these work for hiking and backpac...
How do these work for hiking and backpacking?
They would work fine, but you would be crazy hot below the tree line. Save these for Alpine pursuits and look elsewhere for your backpacking adventures. These are overkill. I wear Merrell Perimeter GTX when it is too cold for vibram5fingers
I have not found them hot. It depends on where you hike I suppose. I hike primarily in high forest and above timberline in Colorado and never had a problem. I mostly get off the trails wander the high country so I appreciate the all around competence.
Crampons? What sort of 'pons do you guys...
What sort of 'pons do you guys recommend for the S Evo GTX boot?
Strap on or step in?
I currently have the G12 strap-ons, but it would be nice to use a step-in 'pon if possible?
The G12 New Matic (with heel bail) is a great crampon for the Trango S Evo, and would provide a bit more stability over the G12 New Classic 'strap on' model that you currently have. Hope this helps you, Slick.
Jeff, thanks for the input-exactly what I needed to know.
Does this boot works with G12 O-Matic
These boots do not have a toe welt and are not fully rigid so they can take accept the Grivel Cramp-o-Matic style crampons with a metal toe bar. These boots do have a heel welt though and as Jeff states earlier, the New Matic style would work just fine. The La Sportiva Trango Extreme boots have a toe welt and are the next step up from these if you're looking to use the Grivel Cramp-o-Matic style.
I have an opportunity to pick up the Asolo...
I have an opportunity to pick up the Asolo Fugitive for 105$. I am planning a trip to Kilimanjaro in Sept as well as many practice hiking trips in the Northeast till then. I am torn between Trango which I was told below would be 'perfect' for Kili or the Fugitives that have amazing reviews and are 70% cheaper.
Write your answer here... I love sportivas for their performance and comfortable fit, they ONLY thing is the durability. they tend to wear out faster than other brands. That being said they will be awesome until the moment they die
Hi - I own a pair of Nepal Evo Gtx boots...
Hi - I own a pair of Nepal Evo Gtx boots in a size 45. I usually wear a very thin Bridgedale liner sock and then a medium-weight Bridgedale wool sock in the Nepals.
My questions are: is sizing similar in these boots as compared to the Nepal Evos? And assuming I want to wear them for Spring, Summer and Fall activities, would you recommend a lighter wool sock? And if so, would that affect the size I would wear?
Thanks in advance. Hope my questions were not confusing.
These boots fit very comparably to the La Sportiva Nepals, so you should be fine selecting the same size boot. If you're used to wearing a liner with your boots I wouldn't recommend changing up that system as long as it's working for you. For warmer weather conditions, keep the liner and swap out the midweight wool sock for a lighter version, there should be minimal slippage in the boot from a size difference, though you can always take this space up if necessary with a pair of insoles such as SuperFeet.

Regional Reviews: Seattle
Baby at ArtsWest
Also see David's review of Omnium-Gatherum
Original cast albums are a tricky thing. They usually give you expert readings of material by gifted and professional performers, often creating roles that have been tailored for them. And you are not burdened by book problems, which are almost always the undoing of musicals. Such, for me, is the case with Baby, which, based on listening to the 1983 original Broadway cast recording, made me an even bigger fan of songwriters Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire than I had been from hearing the first revue of their work, Starting Here, Starting Now. When I finally saw Baby in a Seattle area production in the early '90s, Sybille Pearson's book seemed spotty but sufficient, but the songs were definitely worth the trip to the theatre.
I missed another local company's recent mounting of Baby, so the ArtsWest production is only my second exposure to the show. It is a small scale musical about three couples of different ages, all dealing with impending parenthood. Director Christopher E. Zinovich apparently had trouble finding actor/singers up to the challenges of this material, and his production suffers accordingly, as well as being saddled with those book problems, which have worsened as the show has aged.
The young twenties couple, college students Lizzie and Danny, want to have their baby, but aren't so sure about marrying so young. They have a lot of the score's more dated numbers, but also a couple of its standouts. Greta Bloor is this close to having the vocal pipes for Lizzie's big act one closer (and the hallmark number of the show), "The Story Goes On," and is humorously beleaguered listening to well-meaning but annoying women in "The Ladies Singing Their Song." Cassidy Katims as Danny leads the male cast in a comic highlight of the show (especially as staged), "The Fatherhood Blues." But there is no believable romantic connection with Katims and Bloor; his Danny is so adrogynous and effeminate (even for a punk-rocker) that he seems to have wandered in from the lead in a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
The thirties couple, coach Nick and his athletically inclined spouse Pam, are trying desperately to conceive, and Nick's sperm count turns out to be the problem. Jeanette LeGault gives a sincere, natural and warmly funny performance as Pam, though the range of some of her character's vocals is often out of her grasp. Matt Tucker as Nick cops a sort of wounded puppy dog quality throughout that becomes tiresome, and his voice at best can be described as adequate. Thus, the pair's summation love ballad "With You", set to one of Shire's loveliest melodies, fails to ignite.
Thankfully, Frank Kohel and Dawn Brazel as Alan and Arleen (who have just emptied their nest only to learn of an impending baby) are ideal fits for their roles as the couple in their forties; they easily are the best matched of the couples. Brazel is wonderfully wry in her section of the wives trio's "I Want It All" and conveys a range of conflicting emotions in her soliloquy "Patterns." Kohel, the best vocalist in the cast, ironically has the least to sing but really puts across his song about children being "Easier to Love" than wives, and his duet with Brazel on the late act two powerhouse ballad "And What If We Had Loved Like That?" is deeply satisfying musical theatre.
Director Zinovich makes better use of the stage than most past directors at ArtsWest, making sure both the main center seated patrons and the smaller stage right and left viewers are afforded equally good views of the action. He and co-choreographer Lori Dillon provide varied and engaging staging. And the ensemble of the show lends comic zeal to a score of cameo roles. Deanna Schaeffer at the piano provides the cast with exuberant, full-bodied support, though it is off-putting that in such a small house, with only piano accompaniment, miking is required (and that several of the performers are still barely audible).
Baby is being overhauled by its creators for another stab at Broadway. It will be interesting to see if they can make it better and not worse (as was the case with the revised tour of Maltby & Shire's Big). I applaud ArtsWest offering its audience base a chance to see something off the beaten track, even if the music got the short end of the stick in this case.
Baby plays at ArtsWest playhouse and gallery, 4711 California Ave SW in West Seattle, through November 1, 2003. For further information visit Arts West on-line at www.artswest.org.- David-Edward Hughes

Following a flat stomach diet for women isn't hard, and you can even incorporate many options for the entire family to follow. A common problem for women is that they tend to take care of the needs of everyone else first. Make eating right a priority for you and never skip meals. If you are too busy to eat, you need to make some changes to your schedule. Never start your day without time for a nutritional breakfast. It will kick start your metabolism and give you energy to move forward with your daily tasks.
New Recipes for a Flat Stomach
Many women feel bored with the routine of making the same foods over and over again. They are also bored with eating salads all the time. The good news is that there are plenty of great recipes out there that can help you to get a flat stomach. They use quality ingredients that are good for your body.
It can be fun to try out these new recipes, and several of them will quickly become favorites. Your family will love the mix of items on the menu, and they don't even have to know that what they are eating is good for them. Instead, they can just relish the great flavor. Don't assume that food which is good for you doesn't have much taste to it.
You will find plenty of cookbooks out there as well as recipes online. They include main courses, side dishes, and even desserts. You don't have to feel like you don't have choices of what to eat or to feed your family when you want to burn fat. One of the best things you can do for your family is to encourage them to eat healthier. For children, it can create some healthy habits that last a lifetime.
More Vegetables for a Flat Stomach
There is plenty of nutritional value in vegetables, so eat more of them. Raw vegetables have more value in them. Chop up a variety and keep them in your refrigerator for a quick snack. You can also put some in a baggie to take to work with you. Then you have something nutritious to reach for when you get hungry.
You can even find veggie trays with an assortment already cut up offered at most grocery stores. This is a time saver when you are in a rush or you would like a wide selection of items to pick from.
More Fruits for a Flat Stomach
The same holds true for fresh fruits, and you should be consuming more of them as well. Look for fruits that contain powerful antioxidants. They including blueberries, strawberries, and oranges. You also can consume bananas to offer you more protein, potassium, and to reduce your cravings for sugary foods.
When it comes to fruits for a flat stomach diet for women, you will find many of them offered are seasonal. You may need to rotate what you consume due to the time of year. What you have access to can also vary based on where you live.

Durham Bulls general manager Mike Birling feared that the team's moment in the sun last September when they hosted the Triple-A National Championship would be spoiled by the one element he could not control: weather.
Roughly three inches of rain fell on Durham Bulls Athletic Park during the nationally televised finale of the minor league season and diminished what Birling had hoped would be a sellout crowd. However Birling's fears appear to have been for naught, as Triple-A Baseball is turning to the Bulls for the second time in three years for one of its signature events. Durham announced today that it has been selected to host the Triple-A all-star game in 2014 for the first time in the event's 25-year-history.
"A year and a half ago, we had a similar press conference and we were awarded the Triple-A National Championship game. At that time, one of the things that I stressed was the importance of getting that game and the importance of the support we needed for that game, could allow us to get bigger and better things to come to the Triangle," Birling said at a press conference this morning in the team's home clubhouse, where jerseys of former Triple-A all-stars hung in every locker. "From the perspective of the (International and Pacific Coast) leagues, it was a tremendous event."
And it was the success of last year's Triple-A National Championship—both the game itself and events leading up to it—that convinced Triple-A officials to bring the all-star game to Durham next year. The game is scheduled for July 16 and will be televised on the MLB Network. It will be preceded by a fan festival, home run derby and other events that Birling says will appeal to both families and baseball enthusiasts.
"When the time came for the decision to be made where we would play the 2014 all-star game, Durham's name immediately went to the top of the list," International League president Randy Mobley said during the press conference.
Mobley went on to praise Durham's organization and execution of its plan last year as well as the events surrounding the game—which included a gala at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium in which men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski served as the keynote speaker. He said he expects a similar production next July.
"It's the whole package they bring," Mobley said of the Bulls. "From an administrative standpoint, it's easy to have confidence in them. I have every confidence that what they present will be more than acceptable. They'll put on a great show."
And a show is what Birling has in mind for the all-star game, which he describes as a five-day "celebration of minor league baseball and all of baseball" that will include a variety of celebrations in the days leading up to the game.
The highlight could prove to be the home run derby, as the team will have a year to brainstorm creative ways for players to take aim at the iconic bull that sits atop the left-field wall. "There is no other stadium in this country that has such an iconic home run target as the famous snorting bull."
Bulls director of marketing Scott Carter will play a key role in organizing the all-star festivities, the second event he has helped plan since joining the team just before last season.
"It's one of the reasons I came to work for the Bulls," he said, "because you get the opportunity to put on these kind of events. Some people work their entire careers in minor league baseball and never get to put on an all-star game. It's going to be exciting."

Also, my hair is oily but use to get dry really easily. I discovered my hair hates Aveda products. I think it was all the wheat protein. I clarified my hair and deep conditioned the heck out of it and that awful dry crunch went away. So thankful I didn't have to cut my hair.
Also, to keep hair together before scrunching in gel, I flip my hair upside down, comb it with wide tooth comb, then twist strands into ten twists then scrunch. And when I say scrunch I mean I push each part towards top of hair like accordion. I don't grab and pull. And then I do same with tshirt.

Athlete's Foot
Warm, moist shoes along with shower surfaces and pool decks are common sites for the athlete's foot fungus to live. Simple, preventative measures provide the best treatment.
Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection of the foot that causes buring and itching, and may create cracks and blisters around the toes.
It thrives in warm, moist environments such as the inside of a shoe or locker room floor. A contagious condition, athlete's foot requires treatment to alleviate the symptoms and remove the fungus from the foot.
Common Symptoms
Cracking and peeling skin between the toes or around the sides of the foot is the most common symptom of athlete's foot. Other common symptoms may include the following:
- Burning, stinging sensations
- Itchy, red skin
- Oozing blisters
Treatment Options
Visit your doctor to discuss the treatment options that are most appropriate for your condition. Over-the-counter creams to eliminate the fungus are common initial treatments. Prevention and care for your feet will also provide relief. Actions include:
- Clean socks. Natural cotton or moisture-wicking type socks will help keep sweat and moisture away from the foot. Frequently changing your socks will also help keep your feet dry.
- Foot wash. Carefully clean your feet on a daily basis, scrubbing from heel to toe. Pay careful attention to cleaning between the toes as well. Soap with tea tree oil (a naturally occuring anti-fungal) will enhance this.
- Shoe treatments. Using a shoe sanitizer, whether a spray or ultraviolet light, will eliminate fungus and bacteria living inside the shoes, along with eliminating odors.
Prevention is the best medicine for athlete's foot. However, if you develop athlete's foot, a foot and ankle expert can identify your best treatment options.

After converting to Islam, I struggled with my community's views on art, women and the combination of both. Having grown up in a society that prides itself on a variety of artistic movements, and being part of a very artistic family, I felt uncomfortable accepting my Muslim community's idea that art is prohibited in Islam.Growing up, I was part of a children's musical show that played music specifically for children. Being a child singer was a great part of my life from age four to eight … [Read more...]

This post was written by guest contributor Yasmin N. Ali.The sounds of violin spun around an increasingly frenzied melody of sitar, tabla and the loud, confident vocals of the lead singer. He danced and spun around his band mates, all of whom were jumping to the steady beats pouring from the drummer. The result was electrifying.That was two years ago, at one of my first concerts. That first wave of real, live music had hit me in the gut. I stayed rooted in one spot and danced at the s … [Read more...]

Universal Health Coverage Should be the Federal Government's Responsibility
Debate Details
While U.S. spending on health care is a considerable portion of its GDP, many Americans are underinsured or excluded from health care entirely. Many argue health coverage is best left to private companies and hospitals that will operate with the efficiency and innovation that are the bedrock of a free market. Others cite medical care as a fundamental right, like education and security, and thus coverage should be regulated and fairly allocated by government. Is universal health coverage the federal government's responsibility?

Ricky awakens Saturday morning and telephones Grace Foster to ask her if she can give him a discount for some pearls he wants to buy Lucy as an anniversary gift. When Lucy walks in, Ricky pretends he is talking to Sam. She goes to fix Ricky's breakfast while he gets dressed. Ethel enters and wonders why Lucy is cooking rice for breakfast. Lucy explains that she is trying to drop hints to remind Ricky of their anniversary on Monday. Ricky comes into the kitchen to have his breakfast as Lucy tries pulling out all the stops to remind him of their upcoming anniversary, but he keeps mum about it, and makes a hasty retreat to Grace Foster's apartment, under the pretext of going to see Fred. Moments later, Fred shows up looking for Ricky. Lucy tells him that Ricky had just gone looking for him. Fred arrives some time later and says that no one is in the apartment, so Fred heads back to look for Ricky. Ricky arrives soon explaining that he'll talk to Fred later since he seemed to be busy with the painters (they are painting the building). Fred comes in a few moments later and tells a confused Lucy that he never saw or spoke to Ricky.
Ethel returns to the Ricardos' kitchen with news that she saw Ricky coming out of Grace Foster's apartment. Lucy assumes Ricky is talking to Grace's husband Bill, but Ethel tells her that he's out of town. Thinking of the implications of Ethel's news, Lucy's imagination gets the best of her and she bursts into tears.
At the club, Ricky rehearses with the band and gets a message from Jules ("Julie") that Grace Foster had called and wants him to come over to the apartment. Ricky assures Julie that it's just business. Later on at the apartment, Fred arrives asking Ricky what he wanted. Ricky explains that he simply used Fred as an excuse to go to Grace Foster's apartment to look at some pearls for Lucy. As Lucy enters-giving Ricky the cold shoulder since she thinks he's forgotten their anniversary-Fred exits. Grace Foster calls and Ricky beats Lucy to the phone. She goes to the other room and eavesdrops on the other line while Ricky and Grace talk business, but she thinks they're having an affair. Ricky heads down to Grace's apartment (again under the pretext of going to see Fred). Ethel comes in and Lucy tells her what she just overheard on the phone. The two try to come up with a way for Lucy to see what's going on at Grace's and end up downstairs in the basement listening through the furnace. The girls are able to hear what's going on not only in Grace's apartment, but the apartment in 4B as well. Lucy and Ethel then don painters' overalls and go out on the scaffold to peek into Grace's apartment. While lowering the scaffold, Lucy ends up with a bucket of paint on her head and covered in paint. Fred and Ricky help the girls into the apartment and Lucy demands an explanation. Ricky almost leads Lucy to believe that he and Grace were planning on running away to Mexico to live happily ever after, but he lets the cat out of the bag and tells her that he's just bought her a string of pearls as her anniversary gift. The couple kiss and Ricky gets paint on himself.

Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URAs)
The Geology Department offers undergraduate research assistantships to bona fide geology majors on a competitive basis. We currently support five URAs and typically offer at least one new award per year. The value of the award typically is $1000 per semester. URAs are awarded primarily on the basis of superior academic performance and promise as a professional. Financial need is not a major criterion. Departmental URAs are research awards, meaning that the recipient must work with a faculty member on a research project for 4-6 hours per week.
URAs are renewable for a maximum of $6000, must be renewed each semester, and are renewable by returning students who have a GPA in geology courses of at least 3.0 and an overall GPA of at least 2.75, maintained while taking a full-time course load and making normal progress towards a degree. Students holding URAs are expected to be active participants in departmental functions.
The deadline for submission of all application materials is March 15. Application materials include a formal letter of application, a personal resume, and academic records. Academic records for new freshmen include SAT scores, letters of recommendation from at least one high school teacher and two other persons who are personally acquainted with the performance and character of the applicant. Academic records of students who have previously attended Appalachian consist of permission for the scholarship committee to access all transcripts of the applicant.
For additional information about a Undergraduate Research Assistantship, contact the Geology Department office in 031 Rankin Science West or call 828-262-3049.

2/18 GEM of a cruise with a couple of cracks: Norwegian Gem Cruise Review by bedfordmom
Overall Member Rating
2/18 GEM of a cruise with a couple of cracks
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
On a side note, the service was not very good that first afternoon in the Pacific. We asked for lemonade and iced tea that never came. The portions were very small. The tapenade came with 3 pita chips. The shrimp salad which was delicious was about four tablespoons. The small portions would be a theme to the cruise. At least I would not gain weight.
We ate in the Magenta the first night. Again the service was slow and very small portions. We did get our lemonade and drinks this More time; however I didn't get my sweetener until the end of the meal. The surf and turf was delicious (again very small). I could't eat the onion soup which was way too salty (and I love salt). That first meal took about 2.5 hours and we missed both the shows. We did choose to eat with other people. After that we chose table for 2 and felt that the meal did go faster.
The sea days were very smooth. I felt that there was alot of activities going on during the day. It got somewhat warm by the end of the second day so people were on deck. I spent alot of time in the gym and felt that this gym was smaller than most.
Ports: Puerto Rico: Walked to the fort El Morro. We rode the free trolley in circles for fun but it stopped at 5:45 at San Cristobel fort so we had to walk back. Unfortunately craft vendors left before the ship arrived.
St Martin: Robinson's Speedboat Tours: Exceptional value; 6 hour speed boat tour of the various private beaches and dive spots; drinks and lunch on Pineal Island included.
St Thomas: Godfrey Tours: pickup at port; 2 hour shopping in town and 2 hour island tour. It was a good overview of the island. We chose not to go to the beach because we were so burned from the day before.
Samana: Tours with Terry: again-exceptional valiue at 80$ per person for all day ATV tour, with cultural presentation and lunch included. Most of the participants chose to go ziplining for extra and raved about it. Next time, I would do the zipline.
Cagneys: The steak was incredible and service was impectable;however I was disaponited with aspects of the meal. . The crab lump looked like tunafish and was too peppery for me. didn't eat it. That was a big portion though. I loved the shrimp cocktail but 3 shrimp was way too small for me. for another since I didn't eat the "crab" lump cakes. The steak though was excellent. The sides were painfully tiney. 3 tiny onion rings, give me a break. Desert was creme broulet which was geltanous. They Thankfully they gave me another desert. WE had planned on returning to Cagneys but based on our experience I didn't want to pay another 30$ for for an OK meal. Overall a good cruise. In comparing it to the other lines that I have cruised. The production shows were A+; comedians were OK (I don't get Second City); I like the Carnival comedians better. I like the variety of drinks better on Carnival. The rooms were smaller than Carnival or RCI. The cabin steward was very good except in the beginning we only got one beach towel, no pen or room service doorknob hangers. Since I didn't bring a pen, I had to borrow a pen to write him a note to bring another towel and the room service tags as I didn't see him much the first day or so. After that it was smooth sailing.
We took the Megabus back. We were in the walkoff at 8:45am; way too early for our noon departure. Again we walked to the stop. We were charged a small fee to change our ticket to the 10am bus. Less

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
I can help you with this. Can you open photoshop and then open activity monitor. Next to the photoshop process in the list you see it says intel, if it says intel(64 bit), it's running in 64bit mode.
I checked the activity monitor. Next to Photoshop in the list it does say Intel, but it does not have (64 bit) after Intel. Many of the other items in the list say (64 bit) after Intel. For example, Safari shows up as Intel (64 bit).
Ok, we can change this. Control click on the application. Then, select get info. In get info you will see a check next to open in 32bit mode. Uncheck this and photoshop will running in 64bit mode.
Ok, I did what you asked but there was nothing there saying open in 32 bit mode. I can send you a screen capture if there is a way to attached it to this document. Also my problem with CS5 saying I am out of RAM occurred in CS4 and on another computer as well as this one. I keep thinking there must be a corrupted file somewhere.

Are you interested in participating in and advocating for clinical research? The first step is to get the facts.
- What is Your Clinical Research IQ?
- Six Facts You Need to Know
- Order Educational Materials and Publications
What is Your Clinical Research IQ?
It is only through clinical studies that Parkinson's treatments and medications are made available. How is your knowledge of this important topic?
- Find out more about the basics of clinical research by visiting the overview on PDF's site and then return to this section.
Six Facts You Need to Know
It can take as long as 15 years to develop a potential treatment for Parkinson's. Find out some important facts about Parkinson's clinical research and the barriers we need to address.
1. Low participation delays the development of potential therapies:
- It is estimated that less than one percent of people with PD participate in clinical trials.
- If more people with Parkinson's were study volunteers, more studies would be completed on time.
- It can take as long as 15 years to develop a potential treatment for Parkinson's.
- In fact, 90 percent of all of the clinical studies conducted in the US must extend their original timelines in order to enroll the number of participants needed to complete the study. (CISCRP Website, 2009).
2. Low awareness and a lack of information contribute to low levels of participation:
(From PDtrials Harris Interactive Poll, 2005)
- 71 percent of people with Parkinson's are unaware of available clinical studies in their area.
- 80 percent of people with Parkinson's want more information on clinical studies and want this information to be more accessible.
- 80 percent of people with Parkinson's state that they would participate in a clinical study if one was available in their area.
- Close to 75 percent of physicians talk about clinical trials with 10 percent or fewer of their patients with Parkinson's.
- People with Parkinson's learn about clinical studies most often from support groups (40 percent) and other people living with Parkinson's (27 percent).
3. People have different motivations for participating:
- The primary motivations of people with PD for participating in a clinical study are:
- a doctor's recommendation (90 percent)
- knowing how the research would help the community (84 percent)
- access to new medications (80 percent) (GfK Roper Public Affairs and Media Survey, 2008)
4. Those who participate report having a positive experience:
(PDtrials Harris Interactive Poll, 2005)
- 80 percent of clinical study participants report that a benefit was receiving specialized medical attention during the study.
- 70 percent of clinical study participants state that they learned more about PD and its treatment.
- 88 percent of study participants state that they would be willing to do it again.
5. People who participate have legally protected rights:
- Every clinical trial must be approved and monitored by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). An IRB is an independent committee of doctors, community advocates, and others, mandated to ensure that the clinical trial is ethical and that the rights of study participants are protected.
- Federal guidelines require that all participants in clinical trials be given complete information about the trial before they agree to take part. This is known as informed consent.
6. There are two types of trials: interventional and observational:
- In an interventional trial, the investigators give the participants a particular investigational drug or other intervention, which may include a gene transfer, vaccine, device or procedure, such as surgery. Interventional studies are also looking at how activities such as exercise affect PD.
- In an observational study, there is no intervention. Studies that examine brain or motor activity, or genetic or environmental factors, may fall into this category. These studies are often done to better understand Parkinson's, which is an important part of developing new treatments, therapies or preventions.

THURSDAY 24th March ROME
Weather: Clear & Sunny 14c (am) hot sun 21c in Rome
At our port of Civitavecchia, which is the nearest port for Rome, the sky was blue, and the sun out, but still a bit on the cool side. We listened to the on board announcement about the weather, which gave a high temperature of 16c but to remain dry and sunny. So we had to make a decision on what to wear for the day, as we were going on a trip from the ship, called Rome on your own where you are dropped off in Rome, then at an arranged time and place they pick you up and bring you back to the ship. This tour, which we have done many times before gives you about 6 hours in the city, which for Rome is not a lot of time, but you just have to plan what you want to see, and keep coming back and see some more the next time.
The port of Civitavecchia is a busy one, along with its local fishing fleet, it also serves many islands and other Mediterranean ports with ferries, but also we were one of five cruise ships in today, which are here to go to Rome. So you can imagine the amount of coaches and tour guides which were needed to serve us all, not everyone goes to Rome some passengers go into Civitavecchia itself, or into the surrounding area.
Off we went on coach number 14 with our guide Adrian for the 1 ½ hr. journey to Rome, it`s mostly all motorway, but some things seem to be a bit familiar, having driven this way before. When we reached the outskirts of Rome some familiar buildings came into view. The first of them being the dome of St Peters, what a sight! Then you`re in the mix of the traffic just waiting to get going in this fabulous city, finally in, and our pickup point and time arranged, we went go our separate ways.
Our main objective for the day was the Sistine Chapel, although we`ve been to Rome many times, the right time has never presented itself. You have to consider what day of the week it is, the time of year, and so on. Anyway we thought being quite early in the year and mid- week it was the right time to visit. We left St Peters square and made our way to the Vatican Museum entrance, which the Sistine chapel is a part of, there still seemed to be a lot of people around, but we had only to wait a few minutes to gain entry. As soon as you enter into the main route to the chapel, you go through many rooms which are so ornately decorated you keep saying "I think this is the Chapel " then you go on, and the next room is even more magnificent. As I think you`ll see from the photos, and for those of you that have been there yourself, you have got to pinch yourself at what you are seeing!! As you follow the flow of people, you eventually end up in the actual Sistine chapel. This was full of people, some sitting on stone benches around the chapel, some just standing looking up at these marvellous paintings by Michelangelo, Botticelli and the like. You really can hardly believe you`re seeing this at last. It`s something we`ve wanted to see for years.
After the euphoria of the Sistine chapel, we came out of the museum complex and jumped into a taxi, and made our way to the Trevi Fountain, one of our favourites, we always make time to go there. Our tour guide on the bus had suggested an eating place right next to the Trevi fountain, so it was pizzas all round, and what a good choice! And to finish off we had a giant Ice-cream, then outside to find a seat and watch the world go by and soak up the atmosphere for an hour, just looking at the fountain. This is Angies favourite place in Rome, since she saw the film, " Three Coins in a Fountain", when she was ten.
Rome is a good city for sight-seeing, and as our tour guide said, it`s a living museum. And a lot of these great roman sights are all within walking distance of one another. So we made our way along the shaded narrow streets, with their street cafés and stalls to our next stop which is the Pantheon, this great round roman building, with a massive dome and pillared entrance, is a very impressive building and a great tourist attraction. To think you are walking around this building, and the Roman people were doing the same in their day, it`s a strange feeling! Again with the square outside full of sunshine, and the horse drawn carriages waiting for business, and the cafés, restaurants and bars it`s a lovely setting.
We then left, after finding the right exit we wandered gently along to our next experience, which is the Piazza Navona, this is a long rectangular space, with statues and fountains all truly magnificent. The piazza that day was full of local artists, drawing and painting, many of them are of caricatures, again with the café` culture around, it all added to the atmosphere.
We then set off walking back to our pickup point at St Peters square, but we were in plenty of time, so the pace was slow, just taking in all that`s around us. We then came to one of the many bridges which cross the river Tiber, nearly all these bridges have several ornate statues on them, there`re works of art in their own right. So with time on our hands we sat on a wall and just watched the world go by. As with all major cities, it`s surprising how much walking you do, and with the temperature in the 20s it was good to stop.
After resting, we then passed the Castle St Angelo, this round impressive building, has a museum inside, but we didn`t go in. Then walking up an avenue which lead us into St Peters square, we were looking to have a coffee before our coach trip back. Nearing the top, we spotted our table mates John and Marilyn doing the same thing. So with coffee latte, and a glazed fruit tart each, we caught up with what each other had done throughout our day in Rome.
So with all our group together, we made our way back to our ship in Civitavecchia. On our holidays in the Mediterranean, we`ve been lucky enough to have been to Rome several times, and we don`t seem to tire of going back time and again, and we still feel that way.
So to you all, family, friends and maybe some of you who stumbled across our blog site, I hope you have enjoyed our writings, and pictures of our journey around the world, this being our last port of call. Many thanks for your comments because when you are away from home these things are important! So until we meet again, which will be soon for some. Goodbye from Colin and Angie

Since its origin, Lancaster has been a crossroads where agricutlure, commerce, manufacturing, and social life come together. In 1730, Lancaster City was laid out with an open-air public market in the center of town. Lancaster was a large and affluent inland city by the late 18th century and early 19th century and it became a regional center for the production of rifles, iron, glass, clocks, furniture and other decorative arts. This production—whether it took place in the craftsman's shop or the entrepreneur's factory—transformed Lancaster from a frontier town into a prosperous and sophisticated community.
|John Frederick Steinman, Sr. (1752-1823)
When his father died in 1758, John Frederick Steinman, Sr. (1752-1823) moved with his mother to Lititz from his birthplace, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. His mother remarried a few years afterwards to John Christophe Heyne, a tinsmith and pewterer from Lancaster.
Pewter and Copper Goods and Other Sundry Items
|Read more: John Frederick Steinman, Sr. (1752-1823)
|The Pennsylvania Longrifle
The first Pennsylvania Rifles were made by craftsmen that had come to Lancaster from Germany. The German immigrants brought with them crude hunting rifles that they improved upon—precision spiral groves inside the longer barrel reduced bore diameter, improved sights, and lubricated patches to envelop the bullet. They created the most accurate rifle in the world at that time, accurate at distances over 200 yards. As early as 1745, there were several riflemakers operating in Lancaster city, and 40 throughout Lancaster County. The number doubled with the need for rifles in the Revolution.
Early settlers needed accurate, reliable firearms that could withstand daily use—to hunt game and for protection from wild animals and lawbreakers. In fact, a Pennsylvania Rifle was a significant investment, the second highest expense next to the home. Lancaster was a major supplier of military weapons during the Revolutionary War. However, by 1830 these handmade, flintlock rifles were replaced by more reliable factory-made percussion rifles.
|From Paths to Roads to Highways to Canals to Railways
Before the Philadelphia-Lancaster Turnpike, the 60-mile journey took almost four days. After the completion of the turnpike in 1794, travel was much faster and easier. It was the nation's first turnpike—made with a hard stone base. The completion of the 17-mile Conestoga Canal in 1825 enabled goods to be taken by boat from Lancaster to Safe Harbor. In 1834, railroads came to Lancaster with the construction of the 82-mile Philadelphia, Lancaster, and Columbia Railroad.
|Lancaster is a Market Town
In 1730, Lancaster was laid out with an open-air public market in the center of town. At the street level, there was a through-arcade accessing the large open-air market. The current Romanesque Revival market house, called Central Market, was built in 1889 featuring ornate brick and stonework.
|The Conestoga Wagon
For hundreds of years Lancaster has helped to shape the story of America.

Just when the Atlanta Braves were about to be shut out to end their four-game winning streak, they staged a four-run rally in the ninth inning en route to losing 4-3 to Miami Marlins in the 10th inning anyway Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
Heath Bell threw a 1-2-3 10th inning before Cory Gearrin took the loss for Atlanta. After walking Rob Brantly and hitting Gorkys Hernandez with a pitch, Jason Heyward was unable to make a diving snag on a Jose Reyes line drive to right.
"We come in in the ninth inning, tie the ballgame up and feel like we have a good chance," Fredi Gonzalez said. "We just couldn't get out of the other jam here in the 10th."
The Braves were finally able to get something going in the ninth after Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi exited after eight scoreless innings. He held the Braves to four hits over his career-long outing, which was better than the six runs he allowed to the Braves over two innings at Turner Field previously.
"He was really, really good," Gonzalez said. "I haven't seen a starter pitch that deep in the ballgame still cranking 97-98 mph on the fastball. It's been a while since we've seen that."
Paul Maholm also turned out his own strong start by giving up two runs over 6 2/3 innings. He had given up one run through the first six innings he threw when John Buck tripled to lead off the third and Hernandez drove in with a two-out single.
"He gave us a hell of an effort to win the ballgame," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez pulled Maholm in favor of Peter Moylan in the seven after he surrendered a two-out double to Austin Kearns, but Moylan gave up an opposite-field, two-run homer to Buck that increased the Braves' deficit to three.
"I would've obviously liked to take back the triple [to Buck] and the double to Kearns," Maholm said. "Other than those two, I felt good, I felt better than I have been. You have rough outings going through the season and you get back on track. Hopefully tonight is one of those where I can bounce back and get to face these guys next week."
After Jason Heyward doubled and Chipper Jones walked to start the ninth against Steve Cishek, Dan Uggla finally put the Braves on the board with an RBI-single, prompting Ozzie Guillen to replace Cishek with Mike Dunn, who gave up a two-run double to Brian McCann that tied the game.
The bottom of the ninth looked gloomy for Atlanta when Jonny Venters started by giving up singles to Reyes and Carlos Lee. That, combined with a passed ball by David Ross, put runners at the corners with no outs. Venters struck out the next two batters he faced before Gearrin got Buck to groundout on the first pitch he saw.
The loss drops the Braves to 5 1/2 games behind the Washington Nationals, who were rained out Tuesday and will play a doubleheader with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Brian McCann, Cory Gearrin, Dan Uggla, John Buck, Jose Reyes, MLB, Nathan Eovaldi, Paul Maholm

Due to the more delicate nature of fresh pasta compared to dried pasta some clumping during cooking may occur. Clumping happens when starch molecules on the noodles absorb water and create a glue-like substance. By following our "Golden Rules" for cooking fresh pasta, this problem can be solved.
