Kumu Kahua Theatre Presents SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE PAHALA THEATRE, 1/26-2/26
Kumu Kahua Theatre brings one of American fiction's most distinct voices to the stage in an adaptation of Lois-Ann Yamanaka's Saturday Night at the Pahala Theatre. The production is a world premiere and is Sponsored by the Iolani Class of '58.
What was it like growing up in a plantation town in 1970s Hawai'i? Through beautifully crafted poetic novellas, Lois-Ann Yamanaka lays bare working-class life in Pahala, mixing raw truths and comedic nostalgia as a chorus of girls on the verge of womanhood tell their stories. Yamanaka, with a steely-eyed gaze, describes what it's like to come of age-dealing with younger sisters who "like be the boss of the food" and drunk uncles, catching chicken pox, skirmishing with the town exhibitionist, experiencing a first make-out session, caring for a pet (in this case a baby goat rescued from Mauna Kea), obeying an irate, overworked mother.
Yamanaka skillfully balances the hardships of life with moments of tenderness and understanding, making Saturday Night one of the most engaging, honest plays ever produced on an island stage.
Meet Tita, Girlie, Lucy, Kala, and other young women on the brink of adulthood, as they explore sexual awakening, family abuse, peer pressure, and identity. With humor, pain, and raw honesty, their voices come to life on Kumu Kahua's intimate stage. It is directed by Kumu Artistic Director, Harry Wong III.
This play contains strong language and adult content.
The winner of the Pushcart Prize, Saturday Night at the P?hala Theatre was Lois-Ann Yamanaka's first major work and introduced the world to one of Hawai'i's bravest writers.
Saturday Night at the Pahala Theatre was Yamanaka's debut book, published by Bamboo Ridge Press in 1993. Today it has an important place in the canon of Asian-American literature, and is a staple of college reading lists, including that of UCLA's Asian-Amerian Literature Department.
This isn't Kumu Kahua's first adaptation of a Yamanaka book. In 1997 the theater presented Wat's adaptation of Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers, and in 2003, the theater produced the world premiere of Heads By Harry, adapted by John Wat and Keith Kashiwada.
Special event Feb. 3
The theater is honored to host a Talk Back session with author Lois-Ann Yamanaka following the plays Feb. 3 performance. The audience is invited to remain in the theater once the play has ended to participate in a Q+A session with one of Hawai'i's premier writers.

Forty-one-year-old Kumu Kahua is the only theater group in the state that nurtures local playwrights, offering them a sounding board and venue, and telling Hawai'i's story through plays about these islands, its people, its cultures and contemporary life. Without Kumu Kahua, seminal works about Hawai'i by Hawai'i playwrights-such as Lee Cataluna's Folks You Meet in Longs and Edward Sakamoto's Aloha Las Vegas-would not have made it to the stage, and into people's hearts. Founded in the early 1970s by University of Hawai'i graduate students, Kumu Kahua has gained national and international recognition for its regional program.
With more than 200 plays to its credit, the theater's artistic and technical experience attracts some of Hawai'i's most talented playwrights, actors, directors, designers and other theater artists. The audience at Kumu Kahua is treated to the unique experience of hearing their voice on stage and seeing their lives unfold in the action of the play.
Kumu Kahua productions are made possible with support from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, celebrating more than 30 years of culture and the arts in Hawai'i, and the National Endowment for the Arts; The Annenberg Foundation; Paid for in part by the taxpayers of the City & County of Honolulu; the Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts; and foundations, businesses and patrons.

I'm seeing a lot of negativity about the new FamilySearch website, apart from my concerns about the Family Tree section, and I admit I haven't looked into that very deeply, I can't see what all the fuss is about. I suspect that for some people it is more about being familiar with the "old" FamilySearch and not liking change. I see in a blog post from Chris Paton that The National Archives, London is discontinuing their old search section and only offering the new Discovery search engine. Change is what happens as we journey through life so I can't see why we think the genealogy world should stay static!
Anyway I will now get off my soapbox and continue with what I wanted to write about today !!
FamilySearch has a Learning Centre on the new site, I have written before about the videos, podcasts and written lessons that have been offered in the past, they are excellent and very helpful especially for beginners and those venturing into a new genealogical area or country. The new website offers the archived RootsTech presentation, well worth a look, the lessons that were on the old FamilySearch plus a new beginners course called "5 minute genealogy". There are 21 episodes all broken down into 5 minute segments so that you can learn and then put into practice each step. The series is based around the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, but can be used wherever you live using the internet and Family History Centres.
I think these lessons, videos and podcasts will be of great help to existing genealogists and also the new generation of genealogists that are just starting. The theme of RootsTech was to encourage younger people into family history and this new Learning Centre will do just that.

I would really like to thank you, John (and members of your staff whom I have not yet learned the names of) for all you did in helping us make this cake for our friend's wedding. They raved about it and even we were impressed as to how it turned out. We were confident in our ability to make a delicious cake but we had no idea how to make it look pretty. We owe a great deal of that success to all of you! Let me tell you some of the highlights of our experience with you. From our first visit to your store when John went far out of his way, minutes before close, to help give us confidence we could make our own roses. Even going so far as to open up product and demonstrate what could be done. We were impressed by the extremely helpful YouTube videos, the email advice you gave and even the kind encouragement of your staff during our multiple visits and multiple phone calls! How helpful it was when we built our vision out of dummy cakes in the back of your store to see if we even had a good idea. All of it helped us put out something we were so proud of. We could NOT have done it without your help. It truly was the epitome of customer service. In my day job I consult with car dealerships on how to be better at doing what you all excelled at and you can bet my experience with your business will come up over and over in my conversations. In my gratitude I will not only be as frequent a customer as I can but would truly enjoy telling the story to all those who will listen. You've proven to me what kind of people you are and what kind of business you're running. What impresses me the most is you could have taken the approach of up selling your classes and not give me any help outside of them. A business in a similar situation would have taken that approach. However, you have shown you truly value a customer and you have earned my loyalty. I feel incredible value from every dollar I spend at your store. We wish you much success and thank you for taking care of us so well!

A 38-YEAR-OLD man who breached an 'unwanted' restraining order for the third time has been jailed for four months.
Blackburn magistrates heard Thomas Howard was found hiding in a back yard close to where his partner and mother of his four children lived.
She told police he had not been there despite a neighbour reporting a disturbance involving a male and a female.
When she opened the door, Emily Baron had a small cut to the bridge of her nose which she said she had sustained falling into a door.
Howard, of Sandon Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to breach of a restraining order and racially aggravated threatening behaviour towards a police officer.
Scott Ainge, prosecuting, said Miss Baron was very agitated when she answered the door and demanded to know why the police were there. She said Howard had not been at her home.
When he was arrested in an adjoining yard Howard accused a Muslim officer of being 'Taliban' and asked why he was working for 'this' establishment.
"They stitched you up for 9/11 and you are a disgrace to that beard," he said.
Jonathan Taylor, defending, said Miss Baron had made it clear she did not want the restraining order and was making efforts through her own solicitor to have it removed.
"At the moment we have a situation where she doesn't want the order and doesn't believe she should be restricted by it," said Mr Taylor.
"After his arrest he was taken through the house and his children were there. He didn't believe that was necessary. He used hurtful words to the officer and he is genuinely sorry for that."

HOUSTON - A Maryland mother has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the makers of Monster Energy Drink, blaming it for the death of her 14-year-old daughter.
Anais Fournier died after drinking two cans of "Monster" in two days. That amount of caffeine is equal to 14 cans of cola.
The teen's death is one of five the FDA has connected to consumption of energy drinks.
Cheryl James buried her son, Drew, just two months after his high school graduation.
She said, "They brought me a can of Monster nitrous and pretty much said they were almost confident that's what killed Drew."
While Drew's autopsy was inconclusive, Anais' was clear: cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity.
Her mother, Wendy Crossland told NBC News, "So we just need to get the word out there, so this never happens to anyone else."
Houston cardiologist John Higgins, M.D. with UT Health and Harris Health System has done extensive research on energy drinks. He even signed a petition along with other doctors calling for federal regulation.
Dr. Higgins told Local 2 the drinks are like a drug, causing a jolt to the system.
He explained, "Their heart rate races. Their blood pressure goes up. They feel like they can achieve things they ordinarily wouldn't be able to achieve. Now at the same time, the heart is having to work harder. The arteries in the heart become a little more sluggish and they can't get as much good blood flow to the heart at the very time it needs it."
But he believes that what really makes energy drinks more dangerous than that extra large cup of Joe is for one, kids tend to down them from one after the other.
Second, the so-called "energy blend" includes herbal stimulants like taurine and guarana.
Dr. Higgins added, "They have these other materials and ingredients in them that we believe interact with those high levels of caffeine to cause extra stress and poor function of the heart."
Doctors say anyone with cardiac problems, high blood pressure or diabetes should avoid these drinks altogether.
They also say parents should not allow teens to drink more than 100 milligrams of caffeine a day.
Common symptoms of caffeine overload can include nervousness, palpitations, chest pain and dizziness. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should stop drinking the beverage and talk with your doctor.

i=If steve jobs didnt write down his ideas for a smart tv then i think apple will have a hard time.
And again, I am very curious to see what you guys all think would make this happen?
What features on a TV will absolutely "blow your mind"?
I'm not trying to insult anyone but, like I mentioned in the other post related to this, there are hundreds of other peripheral devices we all (well, most) attach to our televisions that do what these "smart tvs" do, and VERY well...
Are they going to come with an "xbox app" that, the need to own an xbox console obsolete? or ps3? Video streaming capabilities like NetFlix, Hulu and the like are the only "apps" on a TV that make sense but, I will definitely be able to live without as my xbox does this just fine...
I'm sorry but being able to "interact" with a TV without the use of a remote just scares the crap out of me, are we seriously too lazy to pick up the 2 oz remote control to change the channel, pause or adjust volume?
And, of course, it has to integrate w/ iDevices so they could act as a remote, if desired
Lastly! Maybe it could house its own router so wireless connectivity doesn't have to travel through 'another' external device
So...heres the setup:
-Apple HDTV/Mac combo unit w/ wireless router
-Stand alone macs connect wirelessly through TV for Internet
-iDevices connect wirelessly through TV for Internet
-Easy streaming of content from any Apple product to the TV w/ faster transfer rates since you only have one access point
I LoL at all those thinking the iTV will be the end all of TV's. It will be WAY over priced but that won't stop all the iSuckers from picking one up and then gushing all about it. What will/can it do that I can't do right now with any number of devices I have? I have apple TV for apps, can stream pretty much anything with my Xbox, or Blueray player. Unless it gives me fellatio, no thanks.
The only problem is going to be cost! With the current batch of TV's from CES being hugely expensive, it doesn't take that much of a leap of faith to figure that an Apple TV will be more expensive that a non-Apple TV. So I am not looking forward to a $5000 to $10000 40" Apple TV. And this being said by an Apple fan...
I laugh at the reporting here sometimes. Surely you are well enough versed in Apple products and releases to know, an Apple HDTV will very likely be nothing more than a TV with an Apple TV box built into it. No OLED, no Retina, just plain old LCD and not the thinnest.
Especially the first gen device. The second gen might get a FaceTime camera.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, 10:23 a.m., May 16) More than 1 billion pounds of avocados are expected to ship from Mexico to the U.S. this season.
That would shatter last season's record total of 782 million pounds.
Due to a projected volume increase of 12% for the April to June period, shipments should top 1 billion by season's end, said Eduardo Serena, marketing director for APEAM, the organization representing avocado exporters from Michoacan, Mexico.
The initial estimate was for 918 million pounds.
"We knew going into this crop year that it would be a strong year," Serena said. "Avocados from Mexico has been fueling strong, steady demand with promotable volumes of quality fruit all season. As the category leader, we are committed to providing the market with consistent, reliable volume to grow on."
Through May 5, 938 million pounds of avocados had shipped from Mexico to the U.S., up from 654 million pounds last year at the same time, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The strong demand this season has been driven by aggressive marketing in both general and Hispanic markets, Serena said.
"Avocados have become more of a mainstream item that consumers enjoy on a regular basis, all year long," he said.
Marketing efforts have included broadcast and online advertising, promotions, public relations, special events and social media engagement, Serena said.
In addition, Avocados from Mexico continues to invest in category research to provide retailers with best practices data and insights to help increase sales and drive growth, he said.
"The key message that is threaded throughout all our programs is that Avocados from Mexico make good food better, and only avocados from Mexico are available all year long."
And consumers can expect more of the same next season, Serena said, though 2013-14 projections wont' come out until July.
"Strong promotable volume is expected to continue for next year."

Topic: Going to hospital
Hi just letting you know I'm going to the hospital tomorrow I know I talk to some of you about my concerns and you have all been helpful. I'm waiting for my parents to wake up to take me because its 4am. Last night I was having severe pain in my liver and I've been having trouble with my stool all week and nausea/pain all month. This week I noticed my stool to become very grey and everything I ate I was having stool trouble. Plus I get migraines everyday which also causes the nausea. I've also been very itchy past couple days my urine is clear and my eyes are not yellow but my liver has been feeling funny like its working extra hard. Last night I felt dizzy and like I was getting some random twitches which went away. I took my pain medication which helped the pain go away and I was home by myself so I couldn't go. I, wondering if my stent needs to be changed or if its something more serious. I've had my stent for about a year. I haven't really been throwing up anymore but I did throw up a couple times in my mouth and swallow it back down. I was supposed to have an oncology appointment on Tuesday so my parents kept telling me to wait as the pain was going away but it keeps coming back and I worry I'm taking to many pills for side effects. Figuring it is better to go to the hospital to be safe rather than wait and be sorry. Trying not to stress and make it worse. Hopefully they can figure out what's going on!

AZUSA - In the wide-open race for city council, incumbent Robert Gonzales will be joined by auditor Edward Alvarez at the council dais.
Jeffrey Lawrence Cornejo Jr. earned 37 percent of the vote among the field of four candidates for city clerk.
The real surprise came in the city treasurer's race, though, with challenger Arthur Vasquez taking 53 percent of the vote.
Outgoing city clerk Vera Mendoza said 112 provisional ballots were not counted, pending verification from the county recorder's office. Final results will be officially announced at the March 18 council meeting.
"Right now I'm just trying to take it all in, we barely got the results a few minutes ago so we're just celebrating," Alvarez said. "I was nervous the whole time, I thought it was a close race but everybody's hard work paid off."
Incumbent Gonzales was celebrating his victory with family and friends late Tuesday night at Max's Mexican Cuisine.
"We had a large group of candidates this year that made us work extra hard, so the results were very justifying for us," Gonzales said. "Eddie (Alvarez) is going to have a learning curve like we all had to deal with, but he has roots in the community and I think he'll be fine.
"I just want to thank the voters for giving me the opportunity to serve them."
The field of council candidates included prominent community leaders Sandra Benavides, Mark Caro, Mercedes Castro and Jeri Vogel.
The candidates addressed several issues the city faces in the run-up to election day. One of the most important topics of concern was the city's future without redevelopment money, especially as the Gold Line extension is built over the next few years.
Four community members faced off to fill the city clerk's seat, with Cornejo winning the seat with 37 percent of the votes over Stephanie Carmona Mills, Russ Rentschler and Jorge V. Rosales.
The city clerk is elected to serve as a public official whose duties include overseeing elections, tracking public records and administering oaths and affirmations. The four-year, part-time position is being vacated by Vera Mendoza.
"I really didn't have any expectations and I'm very humbled by the whole thing," Cornejo said. "I've been involved in the city for many years but it's a very different perspective from the other end."
Cornejo has experience in archiving and documentation, working on the Cultural and Historical Landmark Commission, among other groups in the city.
City Treasurer Marcene Hamilton lost her seat to challenger Arthur M. Vasquez Jr., who had 53 percent of the vote.
Vasquez is a fourth-generation Azusan who works as an accountant and real estate broker.
"One of the big things in the city is they (residents) don't know who the treasurer is or what they do and a lot of people have questions," he told the Tribune recently. "I want to be more accessible and let people know what's going on" with the city's finances.
Mayor Joseph Romero Rocha was unopposed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/1/2013 (1682 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I woke up this morning and looked across at my snoring old husband and remembered what happened the night before. Despite the hangover, I got up and just started to pack quietly in the next room. The woman who had joined us for a threesome (well-paid) had long since gotten herself a cab and left our place. I can't stand the lifestyle he has forced on me. I stayed with him because of -- I'm ashamed to admit this -- the money. He stopped being kind and nice to me about a year after we were married and he was used to having a beautiful woman on his arm. He is older and wealthy, and I was brought up working hard for every nickel I got. I even did some work as a very private call girl while I went through university and made the mistake of confessing that to him in the beginning. Now I have a great career, but he says if I ever leave him, he will tell the world what I used to do. Two months ago I went out on my own, business-wise, and I pray I will be very successful, even if he tells my deepest, darkest secrets. Do you think he'll try to hurt me? Nobody leaves him! I will not ask for more than I deserve. I have been with him a number of years now and I put up with a lot in that time. -- Scared But Determined, South Winnipeg
Dear Scared: It doesn't reflect well on him if he tells the whole world his wife used to be a call girl. Chances are he's just blowing hot air. If he does tell, and there is no proof to be had of your former business, you can tell the whole world he's just making up stories so it doesn't look bad that you chose to leave him. Rather than living in fear, make the break fearlessly, work hard and see what happens. Don't challenge him with a line like the famous "publish and be damned," but let that be your secret attitude and see a good lawyer, pronto.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I met a woman on New Year's Eve who made my stomach flip over. I'm obsessed with her. I danced with her most of the night at the party. She came and left alone. I caught her leaving and we had one kiss at the door when I caught her getting her coat. I know her full name now and where she works, but I am afraid to call her. Her passionate kiss told me what she thought of me. It was hot and she clung to me. Have I missed my chance? Is it too late to call her at work, when I have to explain who I am, and ask her out? What if she's attached to someone or married? -- Always On My Mind, Portage & Main
Dear On My Mind: As the weeks pass, it gets harder and harder to call, so get on the phone today, but be foxy. Call at a time when you're pretty sure she won't be there and explain who you are to her voice mail, and say you'll call the next day. That gives her time to remember the dancing and kiss (she won't have forgotten in two weeks), and then you don't have to stammer out an explanation to her. When you call again the next day, ask her to join you for lunch at a very nice place -- a restaurant with some status. The fact that it's lunch makes it a shorter experience, but is a lot classier than a coffee. Don't ask her on the phone if she's married as a condition for buying her lunch. You can subtly find out later.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I make the mistake of getting a shy, single woman from my office drunk on shooters and then going over to her little apartment for sex. I am one of the executives at work and I should have known better. However, I have been known to be a fool and make some dumb choices. Now she is finding excuses to talk to me at work and giving me the big cow eyes. How can I let her know I don't want her and it was a one-time thing without appearing to be a jerk? -- Want Her Gone, St. James
Dear Want Her Gone: You are a jerk -- and you hint it isn't your first mean move. Now she thinks you like her when you were just getting her drunk and using her. It would behoove you to be pleasant but distant so she will finally give up on you, poor thing.

The coroner looking into the death of an Eastbourne soldier shot by a British sniper in Afghanistan recorded a verdict of accidental death.
Lance Corporal Michael Pritchard was shot while standing on the roof of an observation post in Sangin when he was hit by a bullet fired over a restricted fire line.
The inquest heard he had been wrongly targeted after being mistaken for an insurgent.
Coroner Alan Craze said, "This was fundamentally an accident, albeit an avoidable one."
Speaking on the steps of Eastbourne Town Hall, LCpl Pritchard's mother, Helen Perry, said, "Michael was a much loved and adored son, step son, brother, grandson and best friend: loving his army life and his family and wonderful friends and he was the epitome of a first class Royal Military Police Officer.
"Michael was an honourable and honest young man and he stood firmly by what was right but would never bear a grudge. "Therefore I think it only fitting that we have finally heard evidence from those responsible for his death. Michael deserves nothing less. My precious sons life and very promising career cut tragically and cruelly short in the most unexpected of circumstances.
"During the course of this inquest we have heard that a series of errors relating to Command & Control, Communication and Identification resulted in Michael's death.
"When most information and the best information available would have made Michael's death avoidable. Speculation and assumption caused an initial incorrect identification of British soldiers as insurgents and nobody in command took any action to rectify the situation and subsequently nobody has taken any responsibility for Michael's death.
"We recognise that a number of people were involved in this incident but there was an onus on those higher in the chain of command to take control, rectify the situation and save Michael's life. After reading all the evidence and sitting through the inquest we remain convinced that the consequences of all of the above were tragically all too predictable.
"Michael sadly no longer has a voice and so it is up to us, his family, to ensure that he has one and to do all we can to avoid a similar repetition of such an event.
"The grief we feel at the loss of our beautiful boy is all too much to bear and we hope that this shocking chain of events never happens to another soldier, another family. Michael is missed so very much and will be carry him forever in our hearts."

ORLANDO, Fla. - A man says $400,000 worth of diamonds were stolen out of his vehicle parked outside of an Orlando restaurant, according to police.
Orlando police said they were called to the Sweet Tomatoes on Kirkman Road a few minutes after 8 p.m., where the 47-year-old victim told them the diamonds were taken out of his vehicle.
According to the police report, the victim told police the theft happened in a 10-minute span. Along with the diamonds, the thieves removed a red Swiss Army bag valued at $65 and three blank checks, but they did not take a GPS on the windshield.
Police were unable to determine how the culprits broke into the vehicle, which was completely locked. The front driver side window had been cracked with an unknown tool, but police say it was not enough to enter the car. According to the official report, the damage to the car amounted to about $200.
No other information, including a description of the culprit, was immediately available.

Trio of Lady Flames Score in Win at Saint Joseph's
The Liberty women's soccer team closed out its stay in the City of Brotherly Love on a positive note, defeating Saint Joseph's, 3-0, at Sweeney Field, Sunday afternoon.
With the win, the Lady Flames extended their streak to four games, improving to 4-1 on the year. Saint Joseph's falls to 3-1-2 in 2013. Liberty has now posted three goals in each of the last four games after besting Drexel (3-0), Friday night. Liberty is now off to a 4-1 start for the first time in program history.
Three different Lady Flames lit up the scoreboard on Sunday, with Maddie Boone, Brittany Aandeurd and Geena Swentik contributing to Liberty's hat trick of goals.
For the third straight contest, Liberty found the back of the net in the opening 15 minutes. Standing at the top of the 18-yard box, Boone blasted a shot from the left side into the upper right corner. The junior's maker, which was her first of the season and third in her Liberty career, gave Liberty an early 1-0 advantage in the 10th minute.
Just over 40 seconds after Boone's goal, Saint Joseph's attempted the equalizer, but goalkeeper Holly Van Noord stuffed the shot by Shannon Farrell. In the remaining minutes of the period, Liberty fired upon the Hawks' goal on two occasions. However, Saint Joseph's netminder Lauren Jancuska was there to thwart shots from Alanna Dunkle and Bertha Martinez, respectively.
Midfielder Rebecca Smith close the period for the Lady Flames with a shot in the 45th minute. Smith's attempt sailed high over the Hawks net, keeping the score, 1-0, at halftime.
In the second period, Aanderud added to Liberty's scoring in the 53rd minute. Following a foul by Saint Joseph's, the sophomore set up for a free kick, sending the ball from the top of the box to the upper left corner. Aanderud's first goal of the season extended the Lady Flames' lead to 2-0. The midfielder's marker was the second of her collegiate career and first since a 5-1 win over Presbyterian College on Sept. 20, 2012.
Swenitk capped off the Lady Flames trio of goals just before the 64th minute. The forward airmailed the ball to the middle of the goal, banking it off the crossbar and down into the goal, cementing the 3-0 final. With the marker, Swenitk scored her first goal of the season and seventh of her Liberty career. Swentik's seven career goals tie her with teammate and fellow junior Helena Pereira for the most by a player on the current Lady Flames roster.
Liberty outshot Saint Joseph's on the afternoon, 14-8, while the Hawks held a 5-4 advantage in corner kicks. Van Noord posted her fourth shutout of the season, finishing the game with two saves. Jancuska closed out the contest with three saves for Saint Joseph's.
The Lady Flames remain on the road, Thursday, squaring off with UNCG. Liberty is seeking its first-ever win against the Spartans, as UNCG leads the all-time series, 5-0. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

Number of players:
What you need:
- 1 homemade no-sew cape
- homemade Halloween face paints
- black pants
- white shirt
- 1 set of plastic vampire teeth (from the $2 shop)
While Dracula looks fancy, his costume is a simple combination of a black cape and some signature face painting.
The video below shows you how to create a no-sew cape for your Dracula costume:
For the face painting, mix up some black and white paints from our homemade face paint recipe here.
Get some tips on how to face paint for Halloween here.
How to create your Dracula costume
Use a makeup sponge to do an all-over base of white first.
Now fill in a widow's peak, sideburns and some 'walking dead' black around the eyes. Dramatic eyebrows are another Dracula signature, so give that a go too.
If you want to make him really creepy, add a few dribbles of blood coming out of his mouth.
Now add a pair of black pants, a white shirt (if you have them, if not just drape the cape over the clothes underneath) and some vampire teeth.
And remember, Dracula is always dramatic: he enters and exits a room with flair!

Soo.. I've been trying to get Python down for the past few days and I can't say it's going so well.
What I'm wanting out of python is some penetration testing, and mostly some program development(in minor forms.)
So far what I've done is I'm 20% into the http://codeacademy.com/ python guide. I've learned the syntax and a bit past that and I've gotta say..
I've yet to learn anything that's going to be useful to me. Of course things such as print and variables are DEFINITELY needed and I guess I can say
it's all really "needed" to be learned but I've looked around and I just can't learn anything further from here that coincides with what I'm wanting to do with python?
Hope that was clear..
See, I'm an intermediate (whatever that would be) in "Autohotkey" if anyone has ever heard of that, and I loved it buuuut it's not very professional.. it has it's limitations and it's sloooowwwwww and I've yet to see a high-quality program created by it.. so no thank you for that language. BUUUUT it had macros.. it was able to interact with applications and make it's own. Can I do this in python? Of course.. but how and where to learn it? I have no clue.. where do I even start? @_@

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Appoints Interim President
May 10th, 2010 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Board of Trustees announced the appointment of Dottie King, Ph.D., as interim president for the college effective July 1, 2010.
The Trustees selected King for her strong leadership skills to continue the college's strong momentum, her extensive experience in higher education, and her knowledge of the college. King has agreed to serve until the permanent successor to President David G. Behrs takes office.
"The college is fortunate to have Dr. King who will provide the experienced academic leadership we need in furthering the best interests of our students," said Kathy Lubeznik, chair of the board of trustees. "Her lifelong dedication to education and proven record of accomplishments will help Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College continue to excel."
"Dr. Behrs has been remarkably engaged with faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of the college. His passion and enthusiasm has increased our sense of community and institutional pride," said King. "I will continue the strong foundation he set forth to provide a world-class liberal arts education for our students."
As vice president for academic affairs, King is responsible for promoting excellence in teaching and scholarship as well as close student-faculty interactions in all of the College's academic programs. In addition, she provides leadership for academic departments and interdisciplinary programs in curricular, personnel, and budgetary matters. As a member of the President's Cabinet, King is also responsible for assisting the College's senior leadership team in advancing the mission of the College and implementing its institutional plan.
King has more than 20 years of experience in higher education. In 2002, she joined the faculty at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, serving as an assistant professor of mathematics from 2002-2006, an associate professor of mathematics from 2006-2008 and chair of the Sciences and Mathematics Department from 2007-2008. From June 2008-September 2008, she served as Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs, and from 2008-2009, she served as the assistant dean for undergraduate and international programs. From 1985 to 2002, she served as an instructor of mathematics at Indiana State University. She was also an adjunct instructor of mathematics for Indiana Wesleyan University from 1997 to 2002.
King holds bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Indiana State University and a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction/Educational Leadership, also from Indiana State University. She has given numerous professional presentations and is a member of several professional organizations. She also published "Pedagogical needs of female mathematics students: Listening to their voice" for the Journal for the Liberal Arts and Sciences.

After pioneering some of the world's first Fair Trade-certified organic blueberries out of Argentina nearly a decade ago, Interrupcion Fair Trade is inviting U.S. consumers to buy its Fair Trade-certified organic bananas from Ecuador and benefit growers and the environment.
The label says it all: "Taste Me Do Good."
"We found there is often an inconsistent or short supply of organic bananas in the marketplace, and we saw an opportunity to work with that item," said Rafael Goldberg, Interrupcion's New York-based chief executive officer of import marketing.
Goldberg sees Fair Trade as an extension of the consumer's love affair with local produce.
"We see a lot of similarities between the connection consumers have to a local product and the connection they can get from an imported Fair Trade organic product," he said.
"People want to know more about production, and make sure it's doing something good for workers and for the environment."
Interrupcion says its produce sales last year generated and delivered more than $180,000 in Fair Trade premiums to producer groups in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Ecuador.
Since its first load of bananas nearly a year ago, Goldberg said the group is importing 8,000 to 10,000 cartons a week from Ecuador. It also is developing supplies.
"We've seen good success from the northeast corridor down to the Mid-Atlantic and into the Midwest," he said, "and we've worked with a wide range of partners, from smaller stores and medium-sized chains to large companies like Whole Foods.
"In several instances, sales are increasing 60% to 100% depending on the promotional schedule," he said.
He said a development crew works closer with the producers and passes on customer feedback.
Interrupcion's marketing approach reflects its young founders, with an emphasis on social networking tools that link consumers to videos and connections with consumers on Facebook.
Point-of-sale cards are also part of its strategy.
"It's important to make the connection to the shopper when they're at the store," said Goldberg.
Though the industry perceives fair trade products as appealing to upper-income shoppers, Goldberg said Interrupcion has had great results in all markets, from mass market retailers to gourmet shops.
"Everybody wants a chance to buy products that are good for their family and good for the world," he said.
"Movements such as sustainability, local, green or fair trade are being fueled by consumer interest that's just as likely to start in a college classroom as it is in a church or other kind of community group that's not divided on income but is based on values."

Well, it looks like Lucas Duda won't be hitting 30 home runs this year.
Duda has been sent down to Triple-A, where he will play first base and left field. The Duda in right experiment is over.
What this means for Duda-who isn't any better equipped to play left than right-is far from clear. Looks like it probably involves hitting well enough to escape to an American Leaue team, where he can DH in peace.

Bacon's Rebellion 'hastened end of executive tyranny'
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 09/26/11
It would be another century before the English colonies erupted into war with the Motherland. But in the mid-1670s, Virginia was already seething with restlessness and discontent.
Thanks to declining tobacco prices and growing competition from Maryland and the Carolinas, Virginia's one-crop economy – already slammed by a series of hailstorms, floods, droughts and hurricanes – was foundering. Colonists were resentful over what they perceived to be excessive taxes, and displeased with trade restrictions under England's Navigation Acts.
"It was a complex chain of oppression in Virginia," writes Howard Zinn in A People's History of the United States. "The Indians were plundered by white frontiersmen, who were taxed and controlled by the Jamestown elite. And the whole colony was being exploited by England, which bought the colonists' tobacco at prices it dictated and made 100,000 pounds a year for the King."
Native Americans, free and enslaved blacks, and colonists (many of them indentured servants) had long been struggling to coexist; but in the uncertain economic climate, tensions were approaching the boiling point.
In 1675, skirmishes between frontier settlers and Indians in the Potomac River valley escalated into violence and led to widespread fear of organized Indian raids. But Virginia governor Sir William Berkeley – who presided over what historian Virginius Dabney called "a virtual dictatorship" in the colony – continued to plead for restraint and a peaceful resolution.
Accused of protecting the fur trade with which he was personally involved, Berkeley advocated for a containment policy and proposed to erect forts at strategic points along the frontier. The settlers regarded his plan as both ineffective and expensive– nothing but a flimsy excuse to raise tax rates.
By the spring of 1676, nearly 500 settlers had been killed, and a group of citizens approached the governor for permission to march against the Indians. When the governor refused, the citizens turned to a 28-year-old Henrico planter and recent immigrant named Nathaniel Bacon for leadership.
What began as an external conflict and a dispute over Indian policy was soon to ignite into a civil war, pitting anti-Indian settlers (including many servants and slaves) against the governor and his conciliatory policies. At its height, the rebellion so threatened the governor that he was forced to flee the burning capital city of Jamestown, prompting the King to dispatch soldiers across the Atlantic.
As the first uprising against English authority in the North American colonies, Bacon's Rebellion is considered a precursor to the American Revolution, and ranks No. 7 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant events in Henrico's 400-year history.
'Commission or no commission!'
Born into a wealthy and prominent family in England, Nathaniel Bacon (a cousin of Francis Bacon) had been in the colony only a few months when the governor – no doubt influenced by Bacon's powerful connections – had appointed him to the Virginia Council of State.
Described as "young, bold,active, of an inviting Aspect, and powerful Elocution," Bacon was not only well-connected but well-educated, eloquent and intelligent. His critics, however, considered him unpleasantly arrogant; one sneered at him as "an indulged only son."
But after Bacon's defiance of the unpopular governor – who announced that anyone who proceeded against the Indians without authorization would be hanged as a rebel – he became a hero.
"If the redskins meddle with me," said Bacon – who had lost the overseer of his Curles Neck property to an Indian raid – "damn my blood but I'll harry them, commission or no commission!'
Raising his own militia, Bacon led a force that incited attack against some local, relatively friendly Indians. Berkeley denounced Bacon and his men as traitors, and expelled Bacon from the Council.
Bacon's followers responded by unanimously electing him to the House of Burgesses from Henrico County, and on June 5, the assembly gathered for what is historically refereed to as Bacon's Assembly. But when Bacon attempted to take his seat, Berkeley had him arrested.
After Bacon apologized for his offenses, Berkeley pardoned him and reinstated him on the council. He later changed his mind, but by now Bacon's supporters controlled much of the colony. In Henrico County, the Baconians even prevented the sheriff from reading the governor's proclamation of condemnation.
Laws and declarations
Later that month, Bacon returned to the statehouse in Jamestown with 500 men and arms drawn, demanding that the governor commission him as a general to lead the settlers against the Indians. An ugly standoff ensued in which Berkeley famously responded by baring his chest and daring Bacon to shoot him; but the governor eventually yielded to
Bacon's demands and retreated to the Eastern Shore.
In the final three days of the legislative session, the colonial assembly enacted several statutes known as "Bacon's Laws," limiting the powers of the governor and restoring suffrage rights to all freemen whether they owned land or not.
In late July, Bacon issued the first in a series of declarations of grievance and complaint against Berkeley. In his "Declaration of the People" he accused Berkeley of raising unjust taxes, elevating his cronies to high office, monopolizing the beaver trade and interfering with his campaigns against the Indians. He signed the declaration,
"General, by the consent of the people," and followed the announcement by marching to the lower Rappahannock River to attack the Pamunkey Indians.
While Bacon was fighting the Pamunkeys, Berkeley temporarily regained control of Jamestown. But Bacon's forces returned, and on September 19, after Berkeley abandoned the capitol, Bacon's men occupied and torched Jamestown, burning it to the ground.
Word of the uprising reached King Charles II of England in late October, and he signed a proclamation to put down the rebellion -- unaware that Nathaniel Bacon had died suddenly the day before of dysentery. Although Bacon's burial site is unknown, some speculate that his body ended up in the York River, since he died near its banks.
Without its leader, the rebellion collapsed. Governor Berkeley briefly returned to power, until the king relieved him of his
governorship and recalled him to England.
Spiritual heritage
Bacon's rebellion remains one of the more controversial events in Virginia history, and even now, scholars continue to debate its causes and significance.
For years, historians considered the 1676 event to represent the first stirring of the revolutionary sentiment that would culminate in the American Revolution. In later decades, however, some historians viewed Bacon's Rebellion as more of a power struggle between two stubborn personalities, rather than as a fight against tyranny.
In A New Look at the Old Dominion, Marshall Fishwick noted at least 17 novels had been written about the rebellion and that early writers tended to glorify Bacon's memory, portraying him as a reformer and Berkley as an oppressor. "In them," wrote Fishwick, "Bacon appears as a Virginia Robin Hood, defending the weak against the strong and
the poor against the rich."
But other sources contradict that view, casting Bacon's men as "highhanded with Indian affairs." In addition, said Fishwick, "The notion that the Rebellion was an attempt at political reform cannot be documented. . . The only laws in which [Bacon's followers] were interested were those authorizing attacks on the redmen who blocked their expansion."
Nevertheless, the rebellion led to significant changes in Virginia.
While the farmers did not succeed in their goal of driving Native Americans from Virginia, they did succeed in wiping out several of the remaining tribes. As for the surviving rebels, many of them headed for the frontier, thus boosting the wave of westward expansion.
Seeing black and white indentured servants joining the rebellion alarmed the ruling class, and some historians have argued that it prompted tobacco planters to replace servants with African slaves – thus hastening the colonists' embrace of an economy based on slave labor.
In his history of Virginia, Virginius Dabney points out that while Bacon's Laws were repealed a few months after his death, some of them were then partially reenacted. What's more, Bacon's "Declaration of the People" was the first expression of popular sovereignty in the English colonies.
"The revolt," said Dabney, "also had the salutary effect of warning the British Crown against future excesses." Bacon's Rebellion was the first – and, until the American Revolution, the largest -- of what would be 18 popular uprisings aimed at overthrowing colonial governments.
In addition to the rebellion's impact on political and social conditions in the colony, Dabney notes that it was also the subject of what has been called the first notable poem written in America.
Presumably penned by Virginia planter John Cotton, "Bacon's Epitaph, Made By His Man" centers around the refrain:
"While none shall dare his obsequies to sing
In deserved measure, until time shall bring
Truth crowned with freedom, and from danger free,
To sound his praises to posterity."
As Matthew Page Andrews writes in Virginia, the Old Dominion, "[Bacon's] rebellion did not, indeed, become a revolution.
Physically, it failed, but its principles, its cause and its memories constituted a spiritual heritage.
"It hastened the end of an era of executive tyranny, and future generations were to profit by its lessons."

>General Running>fast people
Runners run.
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
Another old fart reply. If you want to race fast--here's the secret...get used to running fast. There's no shortcuts. You get out what you put in. Very simple really.
Marathon runners suffer the agony of da feet
This is a good thing that you are interested in finding out how others train, what their logs look like. Because it means you have a willingness to learn and increase your knowledge of race specific training for your racing distance.
I thought instead of just showing you a training program for a 5k I'd try to draw a picture of an effective way of aerobic conditioning.
First - Start at a slow pace with low mileage/Build mileage by 5-10% per week until you have a good aerobic base
Second -
Third - Slowly add in speed, tempo, hills, long run, technique drills, weight training or any combonation
Fourth - Prepare for race by decreasing mileage and increasing run pace to some above and some below race pace
Fifth - 1-2 weeks before race, taper - step down mileage but keep pace close to race pace
Another thing to consider.
Level 1 - Develop Aerobic base (build build build) your aerobic conditioning will support all other training throughout your training
Level 2 - Maintain Aerobic base (less mileage), Long Runs
Level 3 - Tempo (approx. 80% of Max Heart Rate)
Level 4 - Speed, Hills (Above 100% of VO2max = Anaerobic)
Level 5 - Race Pace (Above 80% of Max Heart Rate)
"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true fearlessness." -Laozi
