Multicultural, cross-cultural, melting pot — no matter what word you prefer, the mixing of two cuisines in one restaurant takes on the character of each country while maintaining its own identity. At San Rafael's new Pa's Mexican and Filipino Cuisine, two families bring the rich traditions of their country's culinary heritage to a broad and welcoming table.
Mirella Mora and Carlos Solis, originally from Mexico City, and Christina and Junn Morillo, originally from Manila, had never before been in the restaurant business and had not met until their children, Carlos Solis and Kristina Morillo, started dating. After a Christmas party in the former Tekila's Taqueria, the young couple brainstormed a new restaurant concept. Their parents loved it and, once the change of ownership was complete, launched Pa's in April.
Both Tagalog and Spanish use "Pa" instead of "Dad" and, within each family, Carlos and Junn are called "Pa," making the eponym complete and the restaurant's name a no-brainer.
"Both the Morillo and the Solis family own Pa's," says Solis' son, Carlos.
The food is a reflection of what the two families cook at home, and many of the preparations are made by family members.
"Kristina's family hand-makes the lumpia," says Carlos. Available as an appetizer ($7.95) or as a side dish on Pa's house plate ($10.95), the tiny pork-stuffed lumpia were surprisingly soft and mild.
Named for the uber-thin wheat noodles within, misua soup ($8.95) was a delicate broth with pork meatballs; its rich flavor was enchantingly familiar and its composition brazenly simple. Many dishes are a meal in and of themselves, such as the chicken or pork adobo ($9.95). Served with white or garlic rice, the adobo was peppery and rich, the meat darkened from its Filipino soy sauce and vinegar bath.
Unfamiliar as I was with Filipino food before my visit to Pa's, I found the sisig plate ($10.95), diced grilled pork topped with chopped raw onions and jalapeño rounds, crossed into Mexican territory. Marinated and grilled, the minced pork shoulder was sticky-sweet with caramelized soy sauce, its character akin to garnachas or Tex-Mex beef tacos.
No one would mind if you rolled the sisig into one of the outstanding tortillas and created a freestyle taco. The tortillas, prepared to order by Mora from an old family recipe, are worth the wait. Served alongside entrees such as the molcajete Azteca ($14.99), they were a stellar accompaniment to the meal. A three-legged bowl, traditionally used as a mortar and pestle, this giant molcajete arrived pre-warmed, the grilled meats, shrimp, steamed nopales and melting cheese all arranged to pull directly from the ranchero sauce in the bowl. It was a show stopper of a dish, the spicy sauce a bright layer of flavor over the seasoned meats.
The large menu offers familiar Mexican and American fare, too, from fajitas ($12.25) and burritos ($6.75), to salmon salad ($8.85) and grilled chicken sandwiches ($6.25). And if all of these options are not enough, the specials board has still more choices such as ceviche and chicken mole and, on the weekends, menudo and birria (beef tripe soup).
Pa's is a family-style restaurant. Warm-hued wooden chairs and tables look durable, but are quite comfortable. Each table is dressed with a jarro or ceramic pitcher filled with water and a salt and pepper shaker in the guise of a flowerpot. Sunny yellow walls sport framed metal scrollworks. A huge wooden double-door dominates the front of the room. But the family-style "tell" is the tall stack of paper napkins placed on our table shortly after arrival. (Yes, you will use them all.)
There is a small wine and beer list (a bottle of Pacifico runs $3.75) and a margarita menu is in the works. You sense that there is family in the kitchen and there are plenty of families in the dining room. And that is what Pa's is all about — family-style food in a casual setting, much of it made by the Solis and Morillo families, who want to share the big-hearted character of their culinarily blended yet distinct table. Pa's is Filipino and Mexican and American. It has a flavor all its own.

Topic: A National Survey of Kampo(Japanese Herbal Medicine Practice),@2012
Hi, everyone
The link below is an evidence-based CAM research article done by Japan.
interest section include Figure 1 description about the practice of prescribed Kampo by physicians for cancer patient. Figure 2 how physicians think about Kampo's effectiveness and its harmfulness in treating the patients they prescribed.
PS> all Japan physicians can prescribe Kampo (herbal medications in formulas-fixed combinations) for more info about Kampo, check out" Kampo list" on wikipedia.
for starter, check out whether" shi quan da bu tan" (Juzen-daiho-to),十全大補soup, one of the most prescribed Kampo formula herbal ( now in granule form ) is of use to you.
http://pubmedcentralcanada.ca/articlere … PMC1513143
I ,myself ,have been using this in granule form (5gm dissolve in 4 oz of hot tea or water and drink it once or twice daily when needed(not scheduled), the taste is not bad.) It helps when I have lightheaded problems and fatigue.( caused by anemia ). Of notice ,if you are HER positive,or have hormonal related disease such as breast cancer,menopause,etc. you should not use this formulation. side effect: if you take too much ,you will feel nervous And unsettle ,and increase in heart rate primary due to the ingredient of gingsing .
It should not cost a lot.( ie: 200gm/bottle is about 25-30 US dollars.)
God bless.

Topic: hopeful!
Hello everyone,
My name is Josh Lee. My mom was diagnosed with bile duct cancer around 3 months ago. She was told that she would have 3-6 months to live without chemo. She's gone through 3-4 sessions of chemo so far and is doing better on the outside. Her tumor in her liver shrank a little bit so I am hoping that the chemo is doing her good. She is taking cisplatin and gemzar. I am really happy to have found this community to share and learn more about the disease and how to make my mom better. Thanks in advance for any advice and encouragement!

I absolutely agree with you - the real problem is any philosophy which removes the Dhamma of dispassion, impermanence, and non-self from our worldview. Both theism and radical materialism can do this, and the results are always destructive. It's a good thing we have the middle way, isn't it?

Werth remains out of lineup due to hamstring
WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Davey Johnson was hoping right fielder Jayson Werth would be back in the lineup on Wednesday, but Werth wasn't able to play because of right hamstring tightness.
Werth figures to be out of the lineup for the fifth straight game on Thursday, when he will have an MRI done on his ailing hamstring. Johnson said a stomach virus has left Werth dehydrated and contributed to the muscle tightening.
Werth was able to work out before Wednesday's game against the Tigers. But after he finished, Werth suffered "a spasm" in the hamstring, according to Johnson
"[Werth] came in early and he still ... has a little pull or something. With the rain and stuff, he is not going to be in the lineup," Johnson said before the game. "I would like to have him in the lineup, but I want to be on the safe side."
Werth hurt the hamstring and his left ankle on April 29 against the Braves. He played last Thursday in Atlanta, but was taken out after the fourth inning.

Behind 18-hit attack, Rangers rout Red Sox
Holland fans nine batters over eight shutout frames in series opener
ARLINGTON -- Rangers hitters had eight hits in 15 at-bats through three innings on Friday night. That's a .533 batting average, but the offense had also produced just one run against Red Sox starter Felix Doubront.
Those are the kind of frustrating results the Rangers have been getting at the plate lately, but manager Ron Washington and hitting coach Dave Magadan both said before the game the tough times weren't going to last. They proved prescient at least for one night.
The Rangers finally broke through with five runs in the fourth inning to support the pitching of Derek Holland and they rolled to a 7-0 victory over the Red Sox at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The Rangers are now 26-12 against the Red Sox since 2009.
"They have a great team," shortstop Elvis Andrus said of Boston, which leads the Majors with 20 wins. "They are playing really well. It's a great challenge and you have to elevate your level and be ready to go."
The Rangers have been trying to elevate their offensive game, and they finally did so on Friday night. They had 18 hits, including four by Adrian Beltre. He is the first Rangers player to have four hits in a game this season, and one of them was a three-run double in the fourth inning.
"I haven't seen four hits in a long time," Beltre said, "so it's nice to get into the groove a little bit and hopefully that'll be the start of another streak."
The club was also 6-for-11 with runners in scoring position, and six of seven runs scored with two outs. The six hits with runners in scoring position were a season high.
"Beltre has a track record," Washington said. "The guys in there all have track records. When you know what you have, you stay positive. Beltre is a proven run-producer."
Holland earned his second victory in six starts by holding the Red Sox scoreless through eight innings. He allowed six singles, walked just one and struck out nine in raising his record to 2-2 with a 2.74 ERA.
"Tonight, Derek was at his best," Washington said. "He had a good fastball, changeup, slider, he moved the ball around in the zone and kept them off-balance. He has been pitching well; he just hasn't been getting the results. I thought he had already won three or four ballgames. Since Spring Training, he has been throwing the ball well, and tonight was another example of what he can do."
Holland was quick to point out the defense behind him and the work of catcher A.J. Pierzynski in helping the Rangers record their fifth shutout of the season. That's tied with the Mariners and the Rays for the most in the American League.
"I'd say it was probably one of my best ones for sure, but I've got to give credit to my defense," Holland said. "They made the plays and A.J. has been great back there for me, pushing me and also, I feel like we've really been on the same page. It's been real good throwing to him as well."
Holland was so dominating that the Red Sox had two men reach base in just one inning. Boston was also hitless in its only two at-bats with runners in scoring position.
"He threw a lot of strikes," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "He threw his fastball to both sides of the plate. Tonight, I thought he had a better changeup than we've seen in the past to keep some guys off-balance. We didn't really make too many opportunities for ourselves tonight."
The Rangers had plenty of opportunities once again. It was a matter of taking advantage of them or letting it all go to waste.
The Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the second inning after Jeff Baker lined a two-out double and went to third on a single by Mitch Moreland. Craig Gentry followed with a slow grounder to shortstop Pedro Ciriaco. Because of Gentry's speed, Ciriaco had to rush his throw and bounced it in the dirt. First baseman Mike Napoli couldn't dig it out on a close play and Baker scored.
Moreland started the fourth-inning rally with a one-out single. After Gentry struck out, Ian Kinsler and Andrus delivered back-to-back singles to drive home Moreland. Lance Berkman then walked to load the bases.
That brought up Beltre, who was 4-for-34 with runners in scoring position coming into the game. Beltre worked the count full and drilled a line drive into the left-center field gap. Three runs scored to give the Rangers a 5-0 lead.
"That was a big hit, and we needed it," Washington said. "We felt we blew the game open right there."
After reliever Alex Wilson replaced Doubront, Nelson Cruz brought home Beltre with a single to center. The Rangers added another run in the fifth on one-out singles by Moreland and Leonys Martin, and a double by Kinsler. Moreland and Kinsler both finished with three-hit nights.

Need some advice on a new handgun

New handgun
I am a newbie who started shooting only earlier this year and I find the thread of this conversation very interesting and educational - having gone through the same process myself. I totally commiserate with you since I also like to do a lot of research myself about any item that I'd like to acquire. For a number of good reasons (read my lips - "Navy Seal"), I acquired a Sig Sauer P226 Enhanced Elite chambered in 9 mm Luger for my first pistol, did some serious plinking at the local target range in the company of an experienced shooter with emphasis on safe gun handling, took some formal lessons in competitive shooting, participated in some local USPS/IDPA practice matches and then onto the real thing. I like to think that my CFE (continuing firearm education) has made me a better person in more ways than one. More importantly, I am having the time of my life. Whatever pistol you end up purchasing, rest assured it won't be the last. I have since acquired a G34, HK45 (the "modern 1911"), XDM 5.25" (40SW) and a few SW revolvers to boot and just recently, a Colt AR15 and a Remington 870 Marine Magnum - dreaming of participating in multigun matches. I am aso modifying the latter for occasional trap shooting. Based on my limited experience, these are all excellent firearms. However, for whatever it is worth, there seem to be more after market parts for Glocks, XD/XDM and Smith & Wesson MP's.
Oh BTW I almost forgot, I also have a 0.22LR pistol for cheap practice - a Hammeli Xesse. The problem with most 0.22LR pistols is that the disassembly and assembly are challenging for most beginners. The Hammerli does not have this problem. Good luck.

Yes my friends, above is a playlist I found on imeem. It was posted by Attchort and it's titled, "USSR 1980-1990's". I can see why imeem is so popular now! The past nights I've been spending more and more time there and I found a serious amount of great music.
I set up my own artist profile so if your signed up there feel free to friend me: www.imeem.com/thehorrorist I'm still setting up my profile so it's sparse at the moment.
So what about your own music on imeem? Well if your a known independent artist chances are you will find some of your music on imeem in violation of your copyright. Fans have most likely have uploaded entire songs of yours. Don't get upset as this is just a good sign people like you. So what to do? Imeem suggests register at imeem then head over to Snocap (who they now own), sign up there and register all your songs. Once all your music is registered at Snocap you can choose where Snocap allows your music to be sold. When I say "sold" in reference to imeem I mean paid a share of imeem's ad revenue each time the full song has been streamed. I read the Snocap Terms of Service and it's non-exclusive.
As a registed artist with SNOCAP, you can control which songs you want to be streamed at full-length to everyone on imeem. imeem uses a filtering technology to check whether you have permited full streaming for these songs. If you did not register your songs in SNOCAP, your song could be claimed by another artist/label or misidentified.
In our efforts to bring artists and labels access to new and innovative ways to promote, control, and earn more from their music, SNOCAP has partnered with imeem. Artists and labels who stream their music on imeem will earn income by sharing some of imeem's advertising revenue.
The SNOCAP technology will automatically identify tracks uploaded by our users and determine if the artist/label of the song permitted the full stream.- Imeem.com
I would like some feedback if anyone is signed up with Snocap and/or is using imeem. I know Snocap has had a bad reputation in the past. I wonder if I am missing something in the TOS. I have yet to sign up myself and am looking for a bit more info. What do you think?

Topic: Need advice on next course of treatment
Hello again -- My husband is 42 and has extra hepatic CCA. He has gone through 3 different types of chemo, and his doctor is now recommending that he talk with a researcher who does phase 1 trials. I talked to someone there, and they basically said in phase 1 we are doing more for science than ourselves. And he said it will be time consuming and costly, and we'd have to travel all the way to Boston several days a week. That's not an option for us. Are there other treatments that I should ask about? Here's what we've done so far:

Inside PR Newswire: Meet Customer Content Specialist Jordana Gailard
You might assume a foodie's favorite food would be something fancy. Not so much with Jordana Gailard. She's a steak-and-potatoes kind of girl. In fact, if you were to try to commandeer her grill, she'll let you know the error of your ways.
"I grill my own steaks for lunch," the 26-year-old Albuquerque native says proudly. "When a guy thinks he's going to take over the grill, he's completely wrong. Not in this house."
For PR Newswire, Gailard wears many hats. She tweets and pins, assists customers who call in, stages and moves news releases along, and serves as the charitable giving rep for the Albuquerque office.
Gailard is one of the voices behind @PRNFood. And if you've ever called the PR Newswire main support line from prnewswire.com, you may have spoken with Gailard directly.
On a busy day, Gailard can field up to 40 calls.
"My job keeps me on my toes," Gailard said. "It's awesome when you get a prospect client who's excited to get a person on the line instead of a robot. Any and every question comes into that line. We have a great support staff of content specialists here."
The variety of questions allows Gailard to be knowledgeable in almost every aspect of the company. She's always working with different clients and people within PR Newswire to get their questions answered. The work is far from mundane, she said.
Lately, a lot of clients are asking about social media, a subject Gailard is especially passionate about.
"I like talking with clients about how social media affects content and their releases," she said. "Bringing them toward the light in terms of social media is pretty awesome."
Gailard graduated a double major – public relations and psychology – from the University of New Mexico in 2010. She's been with PR Newswire ever since.
If you've ever visited @PRNFood on Twitter or Pinterest, you may have seen Gailard's thoughts on successful and not-so-successful recipes. She also can be found chatting with other foodies on Twitter at noon EST on Wednesdays under #hgeats.
Most recently, Gailard tested a chili recipe from Weight Watchers. It was supposed to take only 15 minutes, but Gailard deviated from the original vegetarian recipe and added ground turkey. She concedes the recipe likely would've only taken 15 minutes if she'd prepared it as it was written.
"I'm a big advocate for testing out strange recipes, so our followers can look forward to that," she said. "And if you aren't following @PRNFood, you should! Who doesn't love food?"

TORONTO—What was supposed to be another meaningless preseason game turned rather abruptly into a costly one for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It began when Leafs hopeful Jamie Devane caught Sabres forward Corey Tropp with a haymaker. It was a queasy, brutal punch that caused Tropp to go limp before he hit the ice.
MORE: The five worst decisions | Goalie fights (PHOTOS)
Tropp, who had only just beaten Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier with a deft tip, was a willing participant in the bout. "It's not like Tropp got jumped or anything" Toronto defenseman John-Michael Liles said after the game.
But in facing Devane, Tropp had moved up a weight class, and in the aftermath was carried woozily off the ice by teammates as the linesman scraped his blood off center ice.
For an oft-criticized Sabres team, a club ostensibly derailed by their failure to stand up for one another, and goaltender Ryan Miller specifically when he was run by Bruins forward Milan Lucic way back in 2011 (or so the narrative pushers would have it), one might understand why the optics of this sequence were unbearable.
"When they see their guy get knocked out like that, they want to retaliate and they want to step back," hypothesized Leafs forward Carter Ashton—who was on the ice for what came next.
On the very next shift the Sabres put enforcer John Scott—a Gulliver listed at 6-8 and nearly 270 pounds—on the ice. Scott has played 180 NHL games over five seasons and has recorded a grand total of five points. He exists as an NHL entity solely for the purpose of punching faces, which, relevantly or not, is something he does better than anyone else in the league.
As the two clubs lined up for the subsequent face-off, Scott told Leafs winger Phil Kessel that he was going to jump him. When the puck was dropped Scott threw down his gloves and skated menacingly at the undersized savant, who responded with a vicious two-hand chop.
Then mayhem. Scott was rushed by a variety of Leafs, mobbed by the Lilliputians. Leafs winger David Clarkson saw red and left the bench. He'll receive an automatic 10-day suspension, delaying his real Leafs debut until Oct. 25.
Meanwhile, a variety of Leafs and Sabres players paired off, with Kessel ultimately throwing down against Sabres forward Mike Flynn and prevailing. Jonathan Bernier challenged Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller to a goalie fight, presumably to cement the sideshow. "I just saw everyone fighting and wanted to defend my teammate," Bernier told reporters after the game. "That's hockey...I got hyper."
As the dust settled, center ice was littered by the standard detritus of a hockey brawl: gloves, helmets, sticks. Meanwhile two of Toronto's top-six forwards are facing supplementary discipline, which could presumably extend into the beginning of the regular season.
Scott's threat was a joke, the Sabres enforcer explained post game. Kessel, however, didn't see it that way, "I just jumped back" he said, "He's a big boy, right, if he's coming after me what am I going to do?"
"It was pretty stupid."
Kessel might be the most unlikely NHL star of our lifetime. He's listed generously at six-foot nothing, and one might—if they were feeling unkind—describe him as "frumpy" without being inaccurate. But he's done more than just survive in a cutthroat, violent environment like the NHL; he's excelled. We should trust him to evaluate a threat. And Scott was one.
Which begs the question of why Kessel was put in that situation to begin with.
"They put Scott out and I tried to defuse the situation by putting (Kessel's line out there), figuring that then there was no threat to something carrying on," explained Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. "Obviously I was wrong."
"We're not proud or happy of what went on, that's for sure."
And though the fans were entertained, how could they be really? David Clarkson was the club's prize free-agent acquisition. Now he won't be available until late October, though he'll continue to take up cap space in the interim. Kessel may get a game or two, meanwhile, for his slash at Scott.
All because of something a "player" with five career points did in a preseason game.
Carlyle hit the nail on the head in discussing the incident with reporters after the game. "David Clarkson made a mistake, and now we pay for it." A steep price to pay considering the stakes of the contest.
Walking out of the arena, however, you wouldn't know how poorly the Leafs actually fared in the brawl. They may have "won" on the martial front but in the brawl's wake: a destabilized top-six, and a weaker team for the first month. Yet there were the chattering fans, ecstatic about the spectacle, waxing nostalgically about the sudden outburst of 80s-style hockey they'd witnessed.
It was a sentiment shared by Ryan Miller:
The halcyon days of old-time, violent hockey looked nothing like Sunday night's preseason game, however. There weren't automatic suspensions then, and there surely weren't players like John Scott.
No, Sunday's brawl was an entirely contemporary outburst of insanity. And it may have done real harm to Toronto's playoff hopes.

Table ChipsSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Cunning Chris decided to go to his local pub one night in the rain as he was bored at home. As he entered the pub he greeted some old acquaintances, like Jazz Jake and Swift-Hand Steve.
He purchased a drink and sat with his old friends and had an idea how to lighten up the evening.
"I have a challenge for you Swift-Hand Steve" said Cunning Chris.
"Well bring it on then Cunning Chris" goaded Steve, forgetting how cunning Cunning Chris was.
Chris then grabbed a handful of poker chips from behind the bar, scattered them across the table and placed two paper cups by opposite edges.
"Right, here we have fifty white chips and fifty black chips. My challenge is that I can place all the black chips in my cup before you can place all the white chips in your cup. The rules are, you must have one hand on the cup at all times, you can only touch one chip at a time, you can only use your hands and you can't use any object to help you gather the chips."
"Easy" replied Swift-Hand Steve. A smile had spread across his face, he knew he had the quickest hands in town.
"Ok then, Go"
Swift-Hand Steve was true to his name and he quickly had over ten chips in his cup before Cunning Chris even had two. But moments later, it was Cunning Chris who wore the giant grin. What had he done to secure his victory?
HintLook at the rules again
AnswerSoon after the game had commenced, while Swift-Hand Steve was so engrossed in grabbing his chips, Cunning Chris slowly slid his cup over one of the white chips, concealing it. After he had done so, he casually collected the rest of his chips. Even though it appeared that Steve had finished before him and looked triumphant, after Chris had finished, he moved his cup, revealing the concealed chip and watched Steve's face fall.

Dave Smith Instruments Tempest. An all new analog drum machine. Awesome. If you listen carefully the demo goes from all the way from 606 to 909ish with some nice Simmons tom emulation and synth stabs. There are a lot of specs but does it matter? A lot of buttons and analog stuff. $2000. link
Avid Torq 2. I secretly always liked Torq better than Traktor. I don't know why I've keep it a secret. It's just more fun to use and I like the flat interface a lot. I'm not sure 4 decks is better than two. Can you say tiny things to see in a big display? The new Traq Morph feature "blends music tracks in exciting new ways by intelligently applying audio effects during crossfade.". That could be cool right? Lastly, the software is decoupled from any hardware so you can use it stand alone or with any controller. $250 link
Akai Synthstation 49. I want my car dash to be an iPad. Just the same let's make my keyboard interface and sound source and iPad too! It's from Akai so a few MPC pads are included. This will win or loose depending on quality. link
Alesis Studiodock. Professional audio and MIDI I/O for your iPad. Oh… and composite video out. I'm getting very close to being able to play an entire live show off my iPad! link
Izotope Stutter Edit. I love plug-ins like this. Stutter, a Stutter Matrix, Buffer Tricks, Bit Reduction, Pan, Gate, Delay, Filters and more take normal audio and mess it up. $149 link
Arturia Spark. I'm going to tell you right now that this new drum machine from Arturia won't sound as good as the DSI Tempest. Your going to pay a lot less though and it does have a super fun TR style roll by sequencer. All drum machines are awesome. All of them. $600. link
Rob Papen Punch. I sense a theme at this year's Namm. I remember it used to be work making killer electronic drum sounds, loops and patterns. Boy to kids have the toys today! If your not an analog purist Dutch Papen's new VST punch could be of use to you. Will it compete with products like uToniq? Time will tell. link
Introducing Venom from Avid on Vimeo.
M-Audio Venom. I wasn't excited about a new VA synth. Then I learned the price would be $499. I also learned it came with a VST editor. The marketing hype is pretty good for the new Avid synth too. link
MORE UPDATES TO COME. I will be adding things I find worthy to this post as the weekend continues.


text: Honestly, i didn't know what to name this thread. The point in me posting this is because I have been having artist's block. When I sketch out a piece, either it is disproportional, or inconsistent to the idea or style I began the piece with. Other problems have been with fill designs, like cracks. Also, I just dislike the way my sketches look for the majority of the time. Because of this, I don't get out and paint as much, which sucks. I'm not sure exactly what I am asking of you, except to maybe post ideas on how to improve my proportions or how to improve my sketches and pieces. I would just really like for people to post things such as photo with drawn out pieces in certain styles and a short summary/tutorial on that specific style and how to improve in that style. Your posts are much appreciated!

THE Vienna Festival Ballet celebrates their 34th anniversary with a UK tour from until June, with the classic Swan Lake.
While he's out hunting, the Prince Siegfried meets with a flock of swans led by a Swan Queen who is under the evil spell of a magician, Baron Rothbart.
He falls in love with the Queen of the Swans and tries to free them all. However, the magician has a few tricks up his sleeve. Will everything turn out well for the Prince and the Queen of the Swans?
An intense theatrical experience, it is sometimes seen as one of the greatest love stories ever to be staged. This production offers imaginative, glamorous costumes, and beautiful sets.
Producers hope it will appeal to a wide audience base from youngsters seeing ballet live on stage for the first time, to anybody who is simply looking for an innovative show which tells a beautiful story through music and dance.
The celebrated Austrian dancer Peter Mallek founded the company after his illustrious career as a dancer of international renown, in 1980.
Now in their 34th year of producing quality ballet productions, the company continues to experience remarkable success and perform great classical ballets all over the world. VFB are known for their beautiful and lavish hand-made costumes and head dresses.
VFB are celebrated for the continued freshness of their dancing casts, and the strength of their corps - the flock of swans - is sure to be highlighted.
VFB have top-talented dancers including graduates from the Royal Ballet School, British, Australian and Italian soloists, and guest stars from Vienna and South Africa.
Swan Lake is at The Elgiva next Sunday, May 4 at 3pm. Tickets are £17 to £19 from 01494 582900 or go to www.elgiva.com.
There is a meet and greet after the performance, so members of the audience will be able to meet with the dancers and have a chat.

|Anchors are looking terribly rusted. Use the bail biner on the last bolt to lower.

|Any beta for the crux?

rating: 5.12c 7b+ 27 IX- 27 E6 6b
Yeah, I put that biner on the last bolt last year when I did the route. When I lowered off, I ran the rope through the anchors, and clipped that biner in case the anchor failed, hoping that others would leave it there and do the same to be safe.
It'd be nice if people left it there until the anchors were fixed so that no one has to fall sixty feet.
The route has two hard sections. The first couple of moves are the most powerful, with a couple of long reaches to holds pointing the wrong way while you're smearing on little greasy stuff. Once established on the layback and crimps, the climbing is easier and fun for perhaps twenty feet.
The second challenging section, what I think you're talking about Jordan, comes up next. I tried it by establishing on a couple of okay crimps and throwing my left hand far up to the left to an invisible hold. This ended up being hit or miss for me, so I found a small, sharp gaston crimp for my right hand. Combined with a high foot, it's possible to do the move to the good crimp on the left in a more static manner.
From there, it's choss to the anchors. Not to put down the route, but this section is fairly exciting for it's dirtiness. I broke several holds on the finish last year, and took a big screaming fall when both of my handholds ripped off almost simultaneously. That said, the cruxes below are great, and the route is worth doing.

cheers to you ferrels, but i can't use that right-hand gaston beta for the crux. i think it's just best to do the move to the edge.
also, i think the moves above the crux are fun. particularly, i like the moves -- moving off the sloping dish to the pocketed crimps -- from the last bolt to the "anchor" (the leaver biner at the true last bolt).

better than mississippi, really? i agree that rock pigs is better than preemptive and advanced birding.
i think the best 12c's (in order) are: mississippi burning, femme fatale, and rock pigs.
i think relentless direct should be thrown in there, too. but it's considered by most a 12d. on that note, i don't consider preemptive or advanced birding as 12c. that's because i'm a sandbagging snob. :)

rating: 5.12c 7b+ 27 IX- 27 E6 6b
Randy, I agree with you on Advanced Birding and Preemptive Strike not being 12c.. Preemptive is barey 12b, Advanced Birding is barely 12a.. in my book atleast.
Yeah, I do think Rock Pigs is better than Mississippi. Mississippi has a giant standing no hands rest midway through making it not very sustained at all. With that rest, I have a hard time even calling Mississippi 12c to be honest.

|I climbed this thing again today. The new beginning is much more difficult than before. Pre-break, the beginning was a somewhat technical V2 boulder problem. Now, it is a weird V6. Actually, I am unsure on the grade. I have not climbed many similar boulders. The crux revolves around a two-finger micro crimp for the left hand, two finger pebble for the right, and a severely left high step. Weird stuff. I don't think it could be easier than V5 nor harder than V7. Anyway, yea, this thing goes free. Call it 12d or soft 13a. Well, at least until it breaks again. :)

Given the nature of our reality, this suggests that either:
- All beings are eternal and there is a limited number of them.
- As beings reach Nirvana and cease the rebirth cycle, new beings are created to take their place.
According to Buddhist philosophy one is reborn after death (assuming the prerequisite conditions are satisfied) into the form of a being (human, animal, etc..).
His Holiness' two books on heaven and hell are truly analytical view on the subject from a Buddhist point of view. As we are so familiar, in religious sphere, the concept of heaven and hell is a very prominent belief. In many cases, it becomes the goal of religious practice itself. On this very subject, His Holiness critically analyses that the very concept and belief of heaven and hell in Buddhism is a cultural influence of indigenous culture and belief. He states: (I quote)
'the subject of cosmology appeared in Buddhism is clearly can be seen that it is not 'Buddhist teaching' at all but an ancient geography. The concept and belief about it was included in Buddhist Canon merely because of strong influence of popular belief of the time. Later Commentaries further explain about heaven and hell in a greater detail distant itself from the original teaching of the Buddha. If Buddhism teaches such belief on heaven and hell it would not be Buddhism at all but an ancient geography. Buddha wouldn't be the Buddha who delivered the Noble Truth and 'timeless' message for mankind.' (p. 1) (end of the quote) He then shows in his teaching that the concept of heaven and hell in Buddhism are in fact symbolic, representing the quality of mind and spirituality instead. One can be in heaven and hell in this very earth and life. No need to wait until one dies...*
As per usual your post does nothing to answer the question posed.

Time Change: Daylight Savings – Spring Ahead
This weekend (Sunday, March 14, 2010) remember to set your clocks ahead one hour. Of course the means you'll get one less hour of sleep Saturday night, but the bright side is literally brighter. Beginning Sunday evening it will stay light longer. This means you'll save a bit of electricity by not burning lights as long and, of course, more time for children to enjoy the great outdoors.
The time change can also affect Daycare Software since some functions use the time on your computer, such as a check in computer that runs Time and Attendance Software or a Child Care Time Clock. Most computers will automatically adjust the time for you, but it's a good idea to double check before families begin checking children in and out Monday morning.
Enjoy the extra late afternoon sunshine and until next time, cheers!

does Hue run on iMac OS 10.8?
- Asked by Carlysle T from Colorado Springs
Philips Hue Connected Bulb
Product No Longer Available
4 Answers from the Community
Hue has nothing to do with your Mac. Is connects to your standard light bulb socet and to a bridge which you connect to your network. You can then control these lights via an iOS app or a web browser.
So. No, it does not run on 10.8, but it will work fine if you have a computer with 10.8 and use a browser like Safari.
- Answered by Jens L
Yes it does. There is an App on the Mac Appstore to control Hue. It is a third Party App, there is no App from Philips to switch an control your lights. Perhaps there are more Apps to come when the SDK from Philips is officially released.
- Answered by Jürgen L
Hue is OS agnostic!
It runs as a self-contained system and is controlled by its own wireless bridge and a smartphone app.
Your computer is irrelevant, except that you can control your lights via Philips website using any web browser if you've set up an account there.

Sorry, just hardware which runs iOS.

IAN Street believes his side will gain from the experience of missing out on promotion, promising a stronger 1874 Northwich by the start of next season.
The fans-owned club finished third in the North West Counties League second tier in their debut campaign, matching the points haul of runners-up Formby.
However the Squirrels will line-up in the Premier Division next term as a reward for having a superior goal difference.
Street says results in head-to-head matches with their rivals for top spot were a reason for falling short.
He added: "There's not much we need to change, but what cost us is not winning the big games.
"We only took one point from the meetings with [champions] Nelson and Formby, and that proved to be an advantage for them.
"We've got to find a way to move on though; it's important not to dwell too much on what might have been.
"We'll look at everything now and analyse where we can get better.
"We were devastated to get so close, but that will only make us more determined next season."
Despite his disappointment, Street told the Guardian that 1874 Northwich had made progress to be proud of.
He dismissed too a suggestion he would be under added pressure to deliver promotion in his second season at the helm.
"The pressure I feel most is what I put on myself," he said.
"I want to do well for the great people who started this club. In a way, I feel like I've let them down a bit.
"The squad is strong, but we've spoken to players already who have said they want to be part of things next year. If they come along, they'll improve on what we have already.
"I spoke to lads this time last year who were reluctant to commit to us because we were an unknown quantity and nobody was sure how successful we could be.
"Those same lads will have been watching on from afar what we've achieved – playing in front of big crowds every week while establishing ourselves – and hopefully that doubt has gone away.
"We probably need a bit more quality, that extra touch of class that can make the difference in a tight game.
"At this level, lads will make mistakes but we want to eliminate the risk of being damaged by that.
"There are a busy few weeks ahead of us now."
In which positions do you think the team needs to be better?

Ten years ago the world was shocked by images of terror suspects locked in cages on a remote U.S. base in Cuba. Today 171 men are still there, despite vows to close the notorious Guantanamo prison.
On January 11, 2002, about 20 prisoners arrived at the base, hooded, handcuffed and clothed in distinctive orange garb. They were put on display at the prison erected on the military base rented from Cuba under a deal stretching back to 1903.
Quickly Guantanamo became a notorious symbol for the worst of the U.S. excesses in the war on Al-Qaeda launched in the days that followed the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
Today, a decade later the cages are gone, abandoned to the weeds and the iguanas which roam the base.
But despite President Barack Obama's celebrated promise to shutter the prison the more permanent buildings constructed from May 2002 onwards remain.
And within their walls still languish 171 men, out of a total of 779 who have passed through the gates in the last 10 years.
Those detainees still remaining have greater freedom than in the early days, with access to newspapers and televisions, some phone calls home, and with 80 percent of them allowed to mingle in common areas.
"We've always tried to improve the facility conditions of detention," said Colonel Donnie Thomas, joint detention group commander, saying the men had more freedom to go in and out of their cells, as well as to pray and relax together.
"Although President Obama remains committed to the goal of closing Guantanamo, the U.S. Congress has taken action to prevent steps that would assist in the realization of this goal," Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Todd Breasseale told AFP.
But Obama's room for maneuver has been severely curtailed. A controversial law, which the president himself signed at the end of December after bitter partisan infighting, de facto prevents the prison from closing.
It bans the use of public funds to transfer detainees to the United States and decrees that terror suspects must be tried before special military commissions.
"Hope is fading. Closing Guantanamo is harder politically and legally because of this legislation detainees are in legal limbo," said Jonathan Hafetz, a law professor from Seton Hall Law School, who represents one inmate.
Only six detainees have been found guilty by military commissions, according to the Pentagon, and seven others − including the self-confessed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks − will appear before the tribunals in the coming months.
Some 89 inmates have been cleared of all charges, but pose a headache for the Obama administration which cannot find nations to take them in amid fears they will face persecution and oppression in their own countries.
Among them are some Uighurs, part of a group of 22 from Turkic-speaking northwest China, arrested at a camp in the mountains of Afghanistan after the U.S.-led invasion of the country began in October 2001.
While most of the Uighurs were relocated in such countries as Albania, Bermuda, Palau and Switzerland, another group has been fighting in the U.S. courts to be relocated onto U.S. soil.
"Guantanamo has come to symbolize 10 years of a systematic failure by the U.S. to respect human rights in its response to the 9/11 attacks," said Amnesty International's Rob Freer.
"Guantanamo remains an insult to human rights, not just a symbol of abuse or ill-treatment, a symbol of continuing attack on human rights international principles... (the) failure of the U.S. to ensure accountability."
Terrorism expert Karen Greenberg agreed, saying: "The legal issue was that they had rounded up these individuals in Afghanistan or elsewhere and they didn't have a legal category in which to place them.
"They weren't prisoners of war and they weren't really anything else," added the Fordham University expert, charging that the issue under what legal regime to treat the prisoners was left "up to the people on the ground."
"Without a policy at all, without any definition of status without any name, label or guidance, the men on the ground designed a policy to deal for the first 300 detainees."
A report by Amnesty International to mark the 10th anniversary of the opening of the prison is entitled: "Guantanamo: a decade of damage to human rights."
"The failure of the U.S. government to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay is leaving a toxic legacy for human rights," it says.
"The roots of the problem lie further back in the long-standing reluctance of the USA to apply to itself international human rights standards it so often says it expects of others."
Freer added that "if Guantanamo was operated by another country it would be by no doubt" figure in the annual State Department report on human rights.
"It has profoundly damaged the U.S. reputation in the world as a defender of human rights," agreed Hina Shamsi, from the American Civil Liberties Union.
"Ten years ago, nobody could have thought it would be a permanent part of the U.S. landscape."

A man who police say took his 93-year-old father's corpse from a Detroit cemetery and stored the body in a freezer has been charged in the theft.
Vincent Bright, 48, was arraigned Friday on a charge of disinterment of a dead body. The charge carries a 10-year maximum penalty.
His bond was set at $75,000 and will be back in court Jan. 24 for his preliminary examination.
His attorney, Gerald Karafa, said he thought the bond was a little high but that it was probably done because of the publicity in the case.
"I think it is an unusual case for anyone to take. It is not something you see every day," Karafa said.
Read: Casket, body stolen from cemetery.
On Jan. 14, it is alleged that Bright went to the 10700 block of Gratiot to Gethsemane Cemetery and took the body of his father, Clarence Bright, which was inside a casket near a burial site.
Police took Bright's son and another man into custody the next day after discovering the casket in a van at a gas station at Harper Avenue and Dickerson Street.
Bright's body was later found in a freezer in the son's home on Eastlawn Street.
---Gas station where empty casket was found
Sources said Bright's son had told family and friends he thought God would bring his father back to life. In fact, when police picked him up he was reportedly saying, "Wake up daddy. Wake up."

We lost our return man.
http://blogs.colts.com/2013/12/09/in...ster-moves-41/The Indianapolis Colts today agreed to terms with running back Tashard Choice and placed running back Chris Rainey on Injured Reserve.
Choice, 5-10, 210 pounds, has played in 85 career games (four starts) with the Dallas Cowboys (2008-2011), Washington Redskins (2011) and Buffalo Bills (2011-13). He holds career totals of 361 rushing attempts for 1,535 yards and 10 touchdowns, along with 80 receptions for 569 yards. In 12 games with Buffalo this season, Choice rushed for 126 yards on 35 carries and caught four passes for 10 yards. As a rookie in 2008, he played in all 16 games (three starts) and totaled career highs of 92 rushing attempts for 472 yards and 21 receptions for 185 yards.
Rainey appeared in two games for the Colts this season and totaled six kickoff returns for 131 yards (21.8 avg.) and four punt returns for 29 yards (7.3 avg.). He was originally signed by the team on November 20, 2013.

Giambi happy with role on Indians
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- After learning he was going to be a part of the Indians' bench this season, veteran Jason Giambi could not help himself. He walked over to Chris Antonetti and gave Cleveland's general manager a hug.
"I'm truly, truly excited and fired up," Giambi said on Tuesday morning. "I have to admit, I gave Chris a hug afterward. I was totally excited."
There is a catch, though.
The 42-year-old Giambi will begin this season on the 15-day disabled list due to what the team is calling a lower back strain. The issue is not considered serious and both the Indians and Giambi are confident that the aging slugger will be ready to be activated when he becomes eligible on April 9.
In the meantime, Giambi will break camp with the club and spend the season's first seven games as a spectator.
"Being a little bit older, and it's the beginning of the season," Giambi said. "We just want to make sure we get out in front of this, because it's a long season. It's a long Spring Training, so it's just to kind of get off my feet a little bit and take care of it."
When Giambi does return, he will shift into a role as a part-time designated hitter and pinch-hitter for Cleveland. The presence of utility men Mike Aviles and Ryan Raburn, who can each play multiple infield spots and outfield corners, combined with a handful of regulars who can man multiple positions, makes it possible for the Indians to carry a player such as Giambi.
All spring, Indians manager Terry Francona has raved about what Giambi brings to the table.
"I don't think he needs to play every day," Francona said. "He wants to be a part of this team and contribute any way he can. That can be in a number of ways, whether it's facing a tough right-hander, or whether it's leadership in the clubhouse. Those things have a way of working out as we get into the season."
Over the past few years with the Rockies, who actually interviewed Giambi for their managerial opening over the offseason, the former American League Most Valuable Player learned how to handle a bench and leadership role. Over 211 games across the past three seasons, Giambi hit .245 with a .370 on-base percentage, 20 home runs, 72 walks and 75 RBIs.
"I really came to love that role when I was in Denver," Giambi said. "I really believe that's how you pass the game on. I'll get some at-bats here and there. I'm just happy I don't have to hit in the ninth all the time against somebody throwing 100 mph. I might get a few at-bats in a DH role."

Earl Ray Tomblin's re-election this Tuesday.I was talking to a Tomblin operative back on Oct. 26, saying the incoming storm presented a real opportunity for the governor to show leadership. Yes, said the operative, but also the possibility of bungling things badly.As it turned out, there was no reason for pessimism. Tomblin smartly ordered National Guard troops and Division of Highways crews into strategic locations in advance of the hurricane/blizzard, assuring they could begin assisting with clearing roads and checking on isolated households immediately.Within hours, shelters opened and the state secured 700,000 military Meals Ready to Eat and 1.4 million liters of water to feed anyone dislocated by the storm.As would be expected, the governor provided regular updates on the status of storm recovery, and joined U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin on a three-day inspection tour of the hardest-hit areas.From a campaign perspective, for the two-thirds of households that had power, Tomblin got a priceless amount of TV time on the major networks, the cable news networks, and on the Weather Channel, which at the peak of the storm was drawing close to 40 million viewers.A Google News search Friday brought up 18 pages of articles referencing Tomblin in the past week. (Actually, there were more than 18 pages, but the remainder were foreign language publications, referring to Tomblin as "Il Governatore," "Le Governeur," and my personal favorite, "Der Governeur.")The search for Bill Maloney articles brought up just over two pages, with a third page containing just four articles - with the fourth being a Daily Athenaeum editorial endorsing Manchin and Tomblin that mentioned Maloney ...Remarkably, Maloney was on statewide radio Friday calling the recovery efforts unacceptable, and said, "Sitting in an office with a nice suit on making calls won't get things done."(Maloney was apparently unaware that, at that point, Tomblin had either been to, or was en route to 10 of the hardest-hit counties...) *I did get a kick out of Maloney's recent TV spot, in which he says, "Are you tired of all the negative ads? I know I am," -- and then proceeds to launch into yet another attack on Tomblin ...Not so amusing was a last-minute e-mail and website which despicably accuses Tomblin of requesting a pardon in 2001 for a "convicted child rapist."The facts are that the individual in question had been arrested and convicted at age 19 of third-degree sexual assault for having consensual sexual relations with his teenage girlfriend, had served his time and completed parole, and sought a pardon since the criminal record was making it impossible for him to pursue any educational or career opportunities. The "source" of the e-mail was one Marvin Astley, which turns out to be the name of a minor character on "The Family Guy" TV series, but all evidence suggests the real source is West Virginia's answer to Donald Segretti, Maloney consultant Greg Thomas ... *The most interesting race Tuesday night may be state Supreme Court. It's just a gut feeling, but I think Circuit Judge John Yoder finishes second to Justice Robin Davis for the two seats on the high court.Part of that is based on how closely Yoder came in the 2010 special election against Justice Thomas McHugh.Secondly, there's a segment of West Virginia voters that won't vote for two women for statewide office -- and a much larger segment of state voters that won't vote for two Charlestonians.* If Attorney General Darrell McGraw pulls out another nail-biter Tuesday, it will be because he played the "He's not one of us" card against recent New Jerseyian and Washingtonian Patrick Morrisey.Portraying an opponent as an outsider almost never fails in West Virginia politics -- and it was never done better than in 1998 when Sen. Randy Schoonover, who had barely gotten through Clay County High School, used it to beat Harvard Law grad Mark Burnette in his re-election bid.(More election thoughts Monday.)*Finally, the most disturbing trend of this election cycle: Children in campaign commercials.Supreme Court candidate Allen Loughry's son, Justus, was featured predominately in two ads. (All in all, it would not be a stretch to say Loughry had the best campaign spots of any statewide candidate this election cycle.)Likewise, Delegate Mark Hunt, D-Kanawha, featured his young son in an ad (along with a lot of other family members).Delegate Doug Skaff, D-Kanawha, had a whole slew of kids appearing in his TV spots. And let's not forget, the ad that kicked off the Maloney general election campaign was "A Brighter Future," better remembered as the "sad kids under Obama/happy Republican kids" spot.With the possible exception of Honey Boo Boo, I'm not sure we are well served getting political guidance from children ...Reach Phil Kabler at email@example.com or 304-348-1220.

PIO Number: 13-6-21 (13-5-4) BSO Case Numbers: PB13-02-5494, PB13-03-1450,
Date: February, March & April, 2013 Time: overnight
Jurisdiction: Pompano Beach
Place of Occurrence: Pompano Beach
Victim(s): multiple
Suspect(s): Subhanna Beyah, female, 6/4/88
Johnnina Miller, female, 1/17/88
Keshia Clark, female, 6/23/86
Ryan Elkins, female, 11/24/89
Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives have attained arrest warrants for four foxy thieves who have gone home with men they met at upscale bars, then drugged them and stolen their property.
Detectives believe that the four are part of a ring of women who target men and steal their money, jewelry, guns and other pricey possessions. In addition to BSO, multiple agencies including the Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and Miami-Beach police departments are working jointly on investigations involving these four suspects, as well as other women who might be involved in similar crimes.
One of the suspects, 25-year-old Subhanna Beyah, identified herself as Crystal to at least one victim. The man ran into her at an upscale Fort Lauderdale restaurant on a Saturday night in March. They chatted and went to his Pompano Beach house where she made him a vodka cocktail. The next thing he remembers, he was waking up the following afternoon. Crystal was gone, along with about $6,000 in cash and four high-end watches that he kept in a case in his bedroom. The watches - two Rolexes, one Cartier and one Paniere - are valued at $80,000 - $100,000. BSO Detective John McMahon worked with the victim to create a composite sketch of Crystal. Beyah has an extensive criminal history.
Anyone with information about these crimes should contact BSO Det. Ron Cusumano at (954) 786-4200 or report information anonymously at (954) 493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org. Crime Stoppers or Broward County will pay up to $1,000 for an anonymous tip that leads to an arrest.

First name that came to mind for me is an old favourite, Evenie (EV-an-ee). It's a French name, a form of Yvonne via Evonne. I think it's beautiful and it also reminds me of the world evening which I think is a nice image. It's unusual, and similar to Everie without the similarity to "every". I think Asen, Nova and Evenie sound like a great set
I do also like Epperly though tbh. It was the name of a minor character on Gossip Girl and I always thought it was cool.
Good luck!28 year old name nerd, dreaming of a future:

Dear Miss Behavin': I have a 4-year-old Frenchie, Abigail. Unlike most dogs that drag their owners, I constantly pull Abigail's leash to get her to walk. She is always behind me. I have tried using treats, but she's not interested. When we head back home, she will perk up and walk willingly. Why won't she walk?
A: If Abigail is a fit dog who runs around at home in the yard but then drags her feet in public, it could be an indicator of a fear of public places. Some dogs can be sweet and calm at home but freeze up in new surroundings.
The unfamiliar sights of people or dogs and loud sounds of traffic or wind may be overwhelming. Uneasiness can cause Abigail to not want to eat or choose to walk behind you, using you as a human shield.
Fear of public places can stem from lack of exposure (places, people, animals) at an early age. Or it could be just the dislike of walking on leash. Pulling her leash can make things worse, as Abigail begins to associate walking with being dragged. To address this behavior, turn Abigail's walks into a positive experience.
First, see if Abigail likes the leash. As you pull the leash out, if she looks sad or avoids you, spend a few days teaching that the leash signals good things. You can place tasty peanut butter or spray cheese on the leash, and instead of walking outside, snap on the leash and play indoor games for a few minutes. Reserve high-value treats for when Abigail has the leash on.
Once the fun and games are over, remove the leash and ignore Abigail. By repeating these positive experiences, Abigail will eventually accept the leash. When this occurs, take her out in front of the house. Don't begin walking, instead play and offer the treats like you did in the house.
In future sessions, do the same routine but down the street. How far away from home depends how Abigail responds. If she stops eating or ceases playing, then you're too far.
In time, take Abigail down the block before you stop to reward with play and treats. She'll start keeping up with you as you continue to reinforce the good walking behavior.
If, however, Abigail is extremely fearful, this training will take longer and may require a behaviorist. Please call 650-340-7022, ext. 667 to inquire about PHS/SPCA private consultations, where you can seek help from a behavior specialist to address Abigail's fears.

Adrian Belew Quits Nine Inch Nails
Just a day after Nine Inch Nails unveiled a new song and announced some upcoming tour dates, the band's most celebrated member (not counting mastermind Trent Reznor) has apparently left. Veteran guitar hero Adrian Belew posted a brief update on his Facebook page, stating simply, "It didn't work."
Belew had played with the band several times over the years and joined on as a full-time member in February. But as the Sept. 3 release date for Nine Inch Nail's new record — their first in five years — approaches, he said he would no longer be part of the project.
His first post, which has since been taken down, was much lengthier than the succinct one now at the top of his Facebook page. According to Consequence of Sound, Belew originally wrote, "Hey folks, before this goes too far let me say this: I greatly respect trent and the music he makes. no one is at fault. we both agreed it just was not working. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone. that really hurts. but NIN will do an amazing show and I am back where I belong: creating FLUX."
Last month, Eric Avery, the former bass player for Jane's Addiction, also quit Nine Inch Nail's new lineup. He also announced his departure on Facebook.
Meanwhile, Reznor and what's left of the retooled Nine Inch Nails prepare for 'Hesitation Marks,' the first album released under the band name since 2008's 'The Slip.' But he's been busy since then, scoring movies like 'The Social Network' and 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' and recording and playing with his other band, How to Destroy Angels.
Nine Inch Nails' world tour is set to start in late July with a festival appearance in Japan before swinging through the states in the fall and wrapping up at the end of November in Canada. Presumably, Belew's replacement will be announced soon.

The Vicar of Wakefield
Kessinger Publishing, May 1, 2005 - Literary Criticism - 244 pages
1908. Anglo-Irish author who achieved some success as a miscellaneous contributor to periodicals and as the author of Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe. But it was not until The Citizen of the World, a series of whimsical and satirical essays, that he was recognized as an able man of letters. His fame grew with The Traveler, a philosophic poem, and the nostalgic pastoral The Deserted Village. The Vicar of Wakefield is Goldsmith's most enduring novel. It is a portrait of village life, narrated by Dr. Primrose, the title character, whose family endures many trials-including the loss of most of their money, the seduction of one daughter, the destruction of their home by fire, and the vicar's incarceration. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Hello All!
My name is Adam, as you can probably tell, and I have recently made the inward decision to take the three refuges and the associated precepts. I live in a small town in West Virginia, so I am attempting to learn as best as I can using the internet, books, and audio dhamma talks as much as possible. I hope to be able to attend a retreat, and find a teacher, at some point soon (in the next few years).
In my personal life I'm a student, a political activist, a reader, and a writer. I am deeply involved with the politics of my nation and the world. I am also a bit of a tattoo enthusiast as I have a large work of art on my left arm (13 hours total put into it) and a smaller symbol on my right arm.
I just recently found you all after a lot of research and I am SO looking forward to getting to know you all and learn from you.
All the best!

'Timmy, I just wanted you to know that the Sabres just traded for your rights. Mr. (Darcy) Regier and Mr. (Lindy) Ruff will be calling you shortly.' So then it started to hit me and I thought, "Wow, maybe my friend wasn't joking around." About 10 minutes later, I got a call from Mr. Regier and Mr. Ruff just as they were driving home from the draft. That was when the reality had hit me that I had been traded to my hometown team, the team that I grew up watching with my dad and went to all of the games at the old "Aud". It was the best day of my life."

With all due respect to Frank Vogels relentless optimism, the latest news on Danny Granger cannot be viewed as anything other than a major setback for both the individual and the team.
This is happening at the worst possible time for a Pacers team that desperately needs to be fine-tuning for the playoffs, not putting the rotation up on the rack waiting for a part to arrive.
After playing regular minutes in three games, and then only in the first half of two, Grangers left knee did not respond well. He reported what Vogel referred to as above-average soreness, underwent an MRI on Monday and missed practice Tuesday.
Wednesday, the Pacers sent out an advisory that said in part no new damage was found but that Granger would go back on the shelf and be re-evaluated in a week.
The two operative phrases there were new damage, which suggests the old damage is causing this issue, and re-evaluated, which doesnt mean hell be playing again next week. It means theyll see if he can play in a week. Given he was down more than four months before coming back, you have to wonder how much improvement can be expected in a week.
Were not looking at it like (it is a setback), Vogel said. Were looking at it as being precautionary, understanding its still a long season, theres still a lot of time left. We want him to get back to 100 percent and this is the best way to do it. Were looking at it like its hopefully going to be a short-term thing.
It is a long season, but there isnt that much time left. The Pacers have 21 games remaining. By the time Granger is re-evaluated, the number will be down to 18. At that point, there will be just one month left in the regular season a critical month for a team in a tightly packed Eastern Conference playoff race.
A couple of bad weeks could cost them the Central Division, homecourt advantage and any real chance of a deep playoff run. Nine of the next 14 are on the road, so the potential for a couple of bad weeks is real.
The thing is, what options do the Pacers have?
They could shut down The Granger Experiment, and that may be a stronger possibility in a week if he is unable to play. For now, however, the potential of what he could mean to the team in the postseason is too great to abandon before it is absolutely, positively necessary.
No, for the time being they must make the best of it, see if Sam Young, Orlando Johnson or even Gerald Green can bring something, anything off the bench. Even without Granger, the starting lineup is just fine. Its the second unit that would benefit most from his return.
In the last six games, the bench has been outscored by 84 points, an average of 14 per game. The reserves combined to shoot 34.2 percent overall, 20 percent from the 3-point line. And Granger played in five of those games. The deficit in the 83-81 loss to Boston Wednesday was 29-16, keeping in mind the Celtics have been so decimated by injuries they signed three guys out of the Chinese league just to fill out their roster.
Obviously, we all wanted him to come back and within a week be playing 38 minutes and being pain-free, Vogel said. That was the best-case scenario. This isnt anywhere near the worst-case scenario. Its just part of the process, not as smoothly as we would have hoped but we still feel very confident hes going to give us a big lift down the stretch.
Because that is still a possibility, it is not yet time to pull the plug on Granger. But the Pacers can ill afford to let uncertainty linger much longer.
