In its statement Tuesday, Sesame Workshop said "the controversy surrounding Kevin's personal life has become a distraction that none of us want," leading Clash to conclude "that he can no longer be effective in his job."
"This is a sad day for Sesame Street," the statement said.
As the announcement was made, a lawsuit was being filed in federal court in New York charging Clash with sexual abuse of a second youth. The lawsuit alleges that Cecil Singleton, then 15 and now an adult, was persuaded by Clash to meet for sexual encounters.
Clash, who had been on "Sesame Street" for 28 years, created the high-pitched voice and child-like persona for Elmo, a furry, red Muppet that became one of the most popular characters on the show and one of the company's most lucrative properties.
Clash's exit from Sesame Workshop followed a tumultuous week that began on Nov. 12 with a statement from the company that Clash had requested a leave of absence following the charge by a man in his early 20s that he had had a relationship with Clash when he was 16.
Clash denied the charge from that man, who has not been publicly identified, calling it "false and defamatory." Days later the man recanted his charge.

Speed of LightScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Many years ago, a scientist decided to try an experiment to determine the speed of light. He would have his assistant stand at one end of a beach with a powerful flashlight, and the scientist would stand at the other end of the beach, five hundred yards away, with a stopwatch. The assistant would raise his hand and turn on the light at the same time. The scientist would time the difference between when he saw the assistant's hand go up and when he saw the light, and would calculate the speed of light, knowing the distance between them.
Now, we all know that light travels too quickly for the scientist to have even noticed a difference. However, if light traveled very slowly, the experiment would still have failed. Why?
HintBy what principle could the scientist see the assistant's hand?
AnswerThe only reason that the scientist could see the assistant's hand is that light from the sun reflected off the hand and travelled to the scientist's eye. If light travelled slowly, the scientist would still see the hand go up at the same time as the light was turned on. He would just see them happen a few seconds after they actually happened.

Public Input Meetings Set On Coastal Fishing Regulations
AUSTIN, Texas — State fisheries biologists have set a January series of public input meetings in Port Arthur, Dickinson, Port Aransas and Port Isabel to discuss possible changes to the way fishing and fisheries are regulated along the Texas coast.
At the meetings, the Coastal Fisheries Division of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will be scoping or exploring several items for the upcoming 2008 statewide hunting and fishing proclamation process. In particular, TPWD will be considering changes in the current red snapper and shark regulations to attain greater consistency between current federal regulations and state regulations. In addition, the ongoing fishery for menhaden in state waters will be reviewed and the possibility of closing state waters will be scoped.
Regarding coastal fishing guides, the department will scope an item within the statewide regulatory process that may not require any regulatory changes. This involves the possible creation of a Texas Saltwater Certified Guides Program. The voluntary program would establish a certification program by the department, which would foster safety, angler ethics and other training to promote protection of coastal natural resources.
Scoping meeting dates and locations are listed below. All meetings run 7-to-9 p.m. For more information, contact Art Morris at email@example.com or (361) 825-3353.
- January 3, 2008 — Port Arthur Public Library, 4615 9th Avenue, Port Arthur, TX

A postman guilty of a major breach of trust when he stole parcels destined for members of the public has been sent to crown court for sentencing.
Stephen Tempest, 30, ripped open packages while working at the Skipton Delivery Office looking for items of clothing in his size, Skipton magistrates heard.
He was finally stopped when he tried to exchange a pair of £40 jogging trousers at Just Jeans in Skipton.
The owner recognised the trousers as he had sold them on the internet and alerted the Royal Mail.
Michael O'Garra, prosecuting for the Royal Mail, said a search of Tempest's home uncovered 22 items of clothing and computer games, including the popular Call of Duty.
The investigators also found ten clothing tags in his waste bin.
Mr O'Garra said the total value of items recovered was around £700, but it was difficult to ascertain the full amount.
"This was a breach of trust over a substantial period. There is evidence that it was going on for some time and regularly and for a relatively large value," he said.
Tempest, who the court heard had no previous convictions, had been a postman for more than 11 years since leaving school.
He admitted the theft of 21 packets belonging to Royal Mail between November 20, 2012, and November 22, 2012, and also to the theft of a pair of £40 jogging trousers between November 10, 2013, and November 21, 2013.
He was a single man, with no dependents or debts, and could not explain why he had taken to stealing, the court was told.
Paul Fitzpatrick, in mitigation, said all the clothing had been in his size and were for his own use.
"He would break open packets at the sorting office and if the clothing was in his size, he would consider taking it," he said.
Mr Fitzpatrick said Tempest fully appreciated he had broken a special trust expected of Royal Mail employees and the level of seriousness.
Magistrates told Tempest, of Cleveland Street, Colne, that he had breached a trust that the public had come to rely on.
He was sent to Bradford Crown Court for sentencing on May 9.

More from Ralph Graves
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
|The Sennheiser PX 360 heapdhones
It's always fun for to try out high-end headphones for review. But the reality is that for me, as it is for many people, when I'm at work, I really just need a good basic set of headphones. Since my attention's usually focused on the task at hand, my listening is more passive than active (unless that task is auditioning headphones, of course). So sound reproduction doesn't have to be the non plus ultra — if I'm working, I'm going to miss the finer points of the music, anyway.
My first set for work cost me $10 (OK, technically $9.99 plus tax). They were adequate, but delivered really marginal sound. A better choice (had they been around at the time) would have been the Sennheiser PX 360 headphones.
After trying them out for a week or so, I can say that the PX 360's more than filled the bill. They're a simple set of headphones that deliver a nice sound — perfect for my average workday listening.
Function as form
The PX 360's have a simple, no-nonsense design. While light on cosmetics, everything present is there for a purpose. The earcups look sort of boxy, but the padding was quite comfortable, and they formed a seal around my ears that significantly muted the ambient noise generated by my coworkers.
The headband is lightweight, yet sturdy enough for regular wear and tear. It too was nicely padded, and I could comfortably wear the 360's continuously for most of the workday.
Good to go on the go
Most of the higher-end headphones I try really need a headphone amp. Sensitive drivers require the extra juice to operate efficiently and deliver the best possible sound. While the PX 360's sounded very good with a headphone amp, they also did well without one. And that's important, because for my rough-and-ready desktop setup, the fewer things I have connected together, the better. Just using the laptop's headphone jack was the simplicity I was after.
It also meant that my iPod also had more than enough oomph to drive the headphones. So the sound I was getting from my portable player was just as good as that I enjoyed from my laptop. The PX 360's small, efficient drivers received all the power they needed from either minijack connection. I was perfectly happy using these headphones for my mobile listening sessions.
Sound decisions
All in all, the PX 360's performed well. A lot of my high-resolution tracks seemed to have a softer focus than normal, especially in the extreme registers. But the sound wasn't distorted, and there wasn't any harshness to the music.
Most of my music is saved in a lossless format, but I always have some lower bitrate files on hand to test headphones with. Some of the test tracks are saved at 256kbps (the current standard for iTunes and other sites), and others at 128kbps (the former standard, and more highly compressed audio). I even have a few saved at 64kbps (bad for anything save spoken word content).
While the inherent audio quality of those 64kbps files was poor to begin with, the PX 360's certainly didn't make them sound any worse! Music I had saved at 128kbps and 256kbps sounded proportionally better. The higher resolution files had more sonic detail, and I could hear that different through the headphones.
The main point is that, regardless of the inherent sound quality, the PX 360's reproduced the music with reasonable accuracy, and never added anything to detract from the listening experience.
Welcome at work
All in all, the Sennheiser PX 360 headphones performed as I expected. They were light on my head, their earcups blocked out a fair amount of ambient noise, and my music came through with a good deal of presence (especially those lossless files). For a good, basic set of headphones for work or play, I have no problem recommending the Sennheiser PX 360's.

Creature of the NightRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I often hang upside down
High, high above the ground
I'm in books, movies, television, too
Where I often scare you
When you are awake I am asleep
I don't make a single peep
But during the night I do hunt
For flies and fruit that I can munch
Some say that I am in disguise
That I can metamorphasize
What am I?

POLICE are offering a £1,000 reward for information on a wanted man.
Officers from Essex Police and Sussex Police have teamed up to track down Simon Knights, 38, who is believed to have carried out a spate of burglaries.
He has friends in both Southend and Basildon, and police believe he could be staying in either town.
Four houses in Barnham, West Sussex, were broken into on Monday, June 16, and jewellery was stolen.
Another attempted burglary took place in the area on the same day.
On Thursday, June 19, a house in Burgess Hill, East Sussex, was burgled and several hundreds of pounds worth of jewellery was taken.
Knights is described as white, approximately 5ft 8ins tall and has ginger hair.
A £1,000 reward is being offered, subject to his arrest and conviction for one or more of the offences.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact the West Sussex Priority Crime Team on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Discussion Board → General Discussion → Grandma passed away this morning
Typing the words just hurts. What am I going to do without my dear Grandmother but more importantly my dear friend?
This moved to fast. I'm mad about that. Diagnosed 10/13 and gone today?
I am so sorry for your loss. I have read your posts along and you have been a great caretaker and granddaughter for your Grandma. It sounds like your Grandma was ready to go and I am sure she knew you did all you could for her.
I'm so sorry to hear your news. Words fail me at a time like this. I'm sure she is in Heaven now singing with the angels.
Tonia, please know that you're in my prayers. Hold on to your precious memories.
Dear Tonia, so sorry to hear about your Grandmother. While the loss is great the good part is that she did not spend a lot of time suffering. She ended her short journey in peace and with dignity. She will never be far from you as she is in your heart forever. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
I am so sorry. I know how you feel. My husband passed away shortly after being diagnoised also. It is really hard to adjust to when it goes that fast. You don't even have time to think about it. I also feel like Lainy stated. Atleast they did not have to suffer this terrible disease for a long time & they are now in a better place, no longer in pain & will live on in our hearts forever. It is much harder on us as caretakers to have to now go on without them. You can be proud that you did everything you possibly could for her under the circumstances given to you. You & your family are in my thoughts & prayers.
Thank you so much for all of the words of support.
I try to remember that we were "lucky" in some ways when it comes to this disease. I miss her so much and I'm scared of how much more I know I'll miss her. I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do now that I'm not taking care of her.
Thanks again for every thing
What you are feeling is normal. I was so involved with Jim & his care for almost 2 months and also trying to keep everything else going too. It was constant 24/7 & then just like that there is nothing. It will just take time. I'm still trying to adjust. It is not easy. Just know that we are all here for you. Now you need to try to take care of you.
Love & Hugs,
Thanks Darla,
Its just such an odd feeling. I feel lost and almost panicky.
All I can tell you is to take it one day at a time. Sometimes it may even be moment by moment. You will feel panicky & have a lot of anxiety at times, and just about the time you think you have it under control it will hit you again. It just leaves you with such an empty feeling. Everyone tells me it gets better with time. I sure hope so!
Dear Tonia,
So sorry to hear about your grandma - you were a wonderful granddaughter and caretaker. I know your heart is aching right now, and it may be helpful to anesthetize yourself with anti-depressants or a support group until you're ready to face this all-consuming grief. I know I needed a crutch when my mother died - I thought I would go insane. Just a thought. My heart goes out to you-
Joyce m
I am so sorry you have lost your grandmother, I know she must have been proud of you and how you cared for her. I was very close to both of my grandmothers, it is a very special kind of relationship, different from the one you have with your mother and you cannot share that same relationship with anyone else.
I'm very sorry for your loss, and for the pain you are going through. I can appreciate the shock you feel at the speed with which this disease claimed your grandmother. I still am numb over the loss of my dad, and its been 4 1/2 months. I hope that the memories that you have with your grandmother will bring you some peace during this holiday season.
I'm passing along some advice that my cousin gave me after dad died...and she still reminds me of it periodically now> breathe. The panicky feeling will creep up on you for awhile, at least it does for me. Just remember to breathe.
You and your family are in my prayers.
Dear Tonia, I also had a special relationship to my Grandma...so hard to lose. My heart goes out to you. You are in my prayers.

Orange County's weather remains firmly in the pleasant category through Saturday, with plenty of sunshine in the forecast and high temperatures in the 60s.
But clouds should make an appearance by Sunday, with a chance of rain Sunday and Monday, the National Weather Service says.
That's when a system of low-pressure air moves over Southern California, bringing light rain as early as Sunday morning.
The change is expected to begin Saturday night, when airflow shifts back toward land from the ocean. In the meantime, high pressure continues its reign.
Friday looks sunny and 64 to 69 with winds remaining light. Overnight temperatures could dip into the 30s, as they have the past few nights; after that, nighttime lows should stay in the 40s through at least the middle of next week.
Saturday looks mostly sunny and 63 to 68, with a clear evening that turns partly cloudy later.
Then Sunday is partly cloudy with a chance of rain and highs of 57 to 62.
Sunday night turns mostly cloudy; add a slight chance of thunderstorms to the chance of rain, a possible result of cold, unsettled air.
Monday is mostly cloudy with a chance of rain, highs 59 to 64.
Rainfall amounts are uncertain, but could end up in the tenth- to fourth-inch range, with more in the mountains.
We should return to mostly cloudy skies Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs should be 61 to 66 Tuesday, then 63 to 68 inland Wednesday, about 63 on the coast.
Thursday could be mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain, with highs of 57 to 62, as another low-pressure system moves in, though the timing is so far uncertain.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—Rookie quarterback Christian Ponder was so bad in the worst game of his career that Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier benched him with eight minutes left in the third quarter of Sunday's 34-28 road loss to the Detroit Lions.
Frazier and the franchise haven't lost confidence in Ponder as the long-term solution at quarterback. Nor are they even contemplating a start for backup Joe Webb, who rallied the team from a 31-14 deficit to within a yard of an upset before fumbling on the final snap.
Ponder, however, definitely regressed while throwing three interceptions during a four-turnover performance that left him with 13 turnovers in seven NFL starts. He is 1-6 in that span.
Ponder is a resilient QB with the perfect temperament to lead a team back from adversity. But he must stop causing so much of the adversity.
For the second time in two weeks, he threw a pick-six. He's also repeating some of his previous mistakes, such as throwing late to a spot and giving defenders more than ample time to break on the ball and jump routes.
Ponder's last interception got him benched. He rolled to his right, stopped and threw the ball across his body into triple coverage in the middle of the field.
In Ponder's defense, a hip pointer caused him to miss two practices last week and all but a few snaps in the third and final practice on Friday.

Once we put up one of our Aluminum Trees, our Japanese Bobtail Cat "Maxx" began to slap at the ornaments.
To me, it looks as though he is saying "I'll place this one right here.... Ah! Purrfect!"
I love Santa Christmas decorations especially. In the second picture note the weird Santa on the left with his arm out. We got him on Craig's List, he was a store display, but he's one of the weirdest looking Santa Claus' of all time. The third pic features our 6ft Santa, again, got him off Craig;s list. His face was boring, almost white, no rosy cheeks and nor expression in his beady eyes. So I painted him to be looking as though he is amazed by something. LOL And in picture #3, who could not love the "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" 45 record? My husband has had it since childhood.

The Pembrokeshire ($7) at Terroir Tribeca may be more suited for the late sultry summer months, but it hits the spot even on a chilly day.
Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice brightens up a spoonful of Nikolaihof elderflower cordial that's stirred into frothy club soda. A wedge of actual pink grapefruit brings out the tartness, cutting into the floral perfume. It's sprightly and cheerful—a welcome choice at Terroir for those who aren't quite ready for a glass of riesling.

Top quality
By Bicycle Norm
from Columbus, OH
Cassette is used on a Zipp 808 used with a Cervelo-P3 in triathlon racing, where weight and reliability are of critical importance. This cassette is beautifully and precisely made and fits perfectly on a Shimano hub. It is expensive, but high-end quality comes at a price.

Wide range gearing
By iamaclimber
from Grovetown, GA
I was glad to see that Shimano added the 11-28 gearing to the 7900 series. With a compact crank this helps me make it up some of the steeper sections of mountain roads in the eastern United States. I replaced the Shram 11-28 Pg1070 that I was running and I like the way the Shamanio shifts better than the Shram. I have not tried the Shram power dome as I have heard that it is a noisey system. I am very pleased with this cassette. Light, Smooth, Maximum Range!

- How to Read a Study Record
A pilot, multicentre randomized controlled study of surgical left atrial occlusion (LAA) in 50 patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass with additional risk factors for late stroke.
Patients will be enrolled and randomized to undergo LAA exclusion and aspirin therapy or best medical therapy as per guidelines.
Main research questions:
- Can successful occlusion of the LAA be safely achieved by cut and sew or stapler techniques?
- In patients with atrial fibrillation with 2 or more risk factors for stroke, will removal of the left atrial appendage (LAA) and aspirin therapy reduce the risk of systemic embolic events and major bleeding compared to warfarin?
|Atrial Fibrillation Stroke
|Procedure: Surgical occlusion of the left atrial appendage Procedure: Best medical practice
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Phase III Pilot Study - Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Study
- Demonstration of efficacy of cut-and-sew and stapler technique of appendage occlusion by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, central adjudication. [ Time Frame: Outcomes will be measured at discharge, 4-8 weeks post-op and long term (1 to 4 years) ]
- Demonstration of study feasibility, procedure safety, including rate of post-operative re-exploration for bleeding. [ Time Frame: Outcomes will be measured at discharge, 4-8 weeks post-op and long term (1 to 4 years) ]
|Study Start Date:
|August 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|November 2012
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Occlusion arm
Surgical intervention: Occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) using 'cut-and-sew' technique appendage occlusion.
Procedure: Surgical occlusion of the left atrial appendage
Study intervention: Within the trial, occlusion must be performed using either amputation and closure (cut and sew) or stapler device.
Active Comparator: Medical arm
Medical arm: The comparator is best medical practice for atrial fibrillation related stroke prevention as per guidelines.
Procedure: Best medical practice
Best medical practice for atrial fibrillation related stroke prevention as per guidelines.
Detailed Description:
The number one cause of disability and the 3rd leading cause of death in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is stroke. Echocardiographic studies suggest that the predominant source of stroke in AF is the left atrial appendage (LAA). At present, there are no sufficiently powered trials to answer whether removal of the LAA can reduce the risk of systemic embolic events.
LAAOS pilot study will recruit 50 participants undergoing open-heart surgery in 5 Canadian academic cardiac surgery centers. The study will inform the feasibility of conducting a large RCT and will provide information of the efficacy and safety of appendage occlusion technique. From this study we envision a a large international randomized controlled trial (LAAOS II) to determine the impact of left atrial appendage occlusion on the composite outcome of stroke and non-central nervous system systemic embolic events in at risk patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac surgery.

From Wikipedia:
The principle behind Blackle is based on the fact that the display of different colours consumes different amounts of energy on computer monitors.
It's like Google but the background is black. I tried it and think it's really interesting

Detailed Description:
Prostate cancer cells typically have neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation features after they become resistant to hormonal therapy. Somatostatin (SST - a peptide hormone) receptors (SSTR) are usually expressed in a high level in these advanced prostate cancer cells. When SSTR is activated pharmacologically by drugs similar to SST, prostate cancer cell growth is inhibited. SOM230 is a new agent which can activate SSTR and block other key survival molecules/pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K), mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways. Thus SOM230 itself has anticancer activity for prostate cancer.
It is also well known that hormonal refractory prostate cancer can grow in an environment of very low male hormone level because of the activation of several non-androgen receptor survival pathways. One key survival pathway is mediated by an important molecule called mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Drugs, such as Everolimus, have anticancer activity in prostate cancer pre-clinically, but do not sustain its activity. The reason was that cancer cells can up-regulate other survival pathways such as PI3K, MAPK, thus bypass mTOR.
It is hypothesized that SOM230 not only have anti-tumor effect in prostate cancer directly, but also can block the up-regulated (feed-back loop), alternative PI3K or MAPK survival pathways induced by mTOR inhibitors.
The goal of this study is to develop a new well tolerated therapy that can be offered to prostate cancer patients prior to receiving chemotherapy.

Anyone not like biscuits in the morning?
Anyone not like biscuits in the morning?
It may not be rocket science, but it's still science.
I have a sealed 20 gallon barrel that I was going to bring for utility water and then gallons of drinking water. What about restroom facilities (girls...)? or did I miss that earlier?
I have been known to do such things as get up early & make biscuits
I don't know if I would qualify for deliveries. I seem to only arrive at my hammock.
You cant have biscuits without bacon and sausage! I know I will have a couple slabs of good ol' wrights thick cut bacon on hand and will be willing to trade for some biscuits !
I have a flat cast iron griddle we use when we are canoe camping and I got it out Thursday and cooked breakfast for my dad and mom over at our pond. The air was unseasonably cool but was just right for cooking over an open hardwood fire. Bacon, eggs, pancakes,hash browns, tea and coffee! LOL sounds like a lot and it was but we were rebuilding on of the docks in the pond and needed a real breakfast. Figured I would bring the griddle as well with me in Oct

Bautista adamant he didn't deserve to be ejected
TORONTO -- Jose Bautista remains adamant that he did nothing to deserve being ejected during the sixth inning of Sunday afternoon's 2-1 loss to the Rays by home-plate umpire Bill Welke.
Bautista was tossed for taking issue with a strike-three call during the sixth inning. The ejection proved costly, as Toronto lost Bautista's presence in the lineup and Nolan Reimold, who replaced the slugger, made an error that led to Tampa Bay's winning run.
If anybody assumed Bautista would have some regret about how the situation went down, though, think again. Bautista remained unrepentant in front of reporters Monday afternoon and insisted that while there was some visible frustration with the call, nothing was said that would justify getting removed from the game.
"I didn't know there was a gag order in baseball. If that rule was put out, I haven't gotten the memo yet," Bautista told a large group of reporters.
"[Welke] did warn me, but by the time I turned around to hear what he had to say, I was ejected. That's what I believe happened, I said something, he said something, I started to turn around, he said something else. ... I didn't know if he was done talking or not. I turned around to look at him to see what he was saying, and just by turning around I was gone."
Manager John Gibbons wasn't very forgiving to his star player after Sunday's loss. He insisted Bautista should "say your piece, get the [heck] out of there" instead of lingering around to have a prolonged conversation with the umpire.
Gibbons also added that Bautista is a "marked man in this game," which refers to previous well-documented arguments Toronto's franchise player had with umpires over the past several years. With a team that is still competing for a spot in the postseason, Gibbons believes the Blue Jays "need [Bautista] on the field."
That's about as publicly outspoken as Gibbons gets about one of his players. Bautista saw the comments later Sunday night, but he didn't take issue with them and there doesn't appear to be a major beef between the two men. It's just a disagreement on how the events from Sunday unfolded.
"I read his quotes and I understand his frustrations. I had the same frustrations," Bautista said. "I didn't want to get ejected, but it happened. Again, I don't think what I did warranted an ejection. That's the only thing that I can say."

For many, interaction with the neighbors is often limited to inquires like, "Can you collect my mail when I'm out of town?" or "Are you going to make your dog stop barking or should I call the police?"
Things are a little different over at the Brookside Court Condominiums in Edina, Minnesota. Residents here not only say "Hi" to each other in the hallway, they also get together to perform off-Broadway plays.
On this night, it's Joe DiPietro's comedy "Over the River and Through the Woods." And it's being staged WAY off Broadway, says cast member Dick Bormes, in the condo's party room.
"It looks like a 1962 rec room in somebody's basement," says Bormes.
In one corner is an old TV set, in the other a kitchenette complete with whirring refrigerator. About two dozen condo residents have gathered on couches and folding chairs to check out the dramatic talents of neighbors like Susanna Skripnik.
"When you're a kid," says Skripnik, "you put on puppet shows in the backyard and you invite all the neighbors and the parents to come. That's kinda the feeling this is. It's sort of like the backyard play."
To understand how five non-actors ended up doing dramatic readings in the musty basement of a suburban condominium, you need to meet actress, director and Brookside resident Anita O'Sullivan.
"I'm always looking for something fun to do here," explains O'Sullivan. "And I thought, 'What could I do?' I don't even know how to make coffee, for goodness sakes. But I know about plays."
O'Sullivan's been part of the Twin Cities theater scene for over four decades and currently works at The Old Log Theater in Greenwood.
While some people ask their neighbors if they can borrow a cup of sugar, O'Sullivan asked hers if she could direct them in a stage show.
At first, the responses went a bit like this:
"Oh, I couldn't possibly."
But O'Sullivan doesn't like to take "no" for an answer.
"I downplayed it a little bit," reveals O'Sullivan, "I'd just whet them on the content of the play and what a fun thing it is, you know, and I'd say, 'Well, Betty's going to do it and Shirley's going to do it.'"
Soon she had a stable of thespians - or, more accurately, a group of people willing to give acting a try. Cast members practiced their parts around a dining room table. After a few weeks, O'Sullivan decided they were ready to take the show public and she set the publicity machine in motion.
"I just sit at my little computer," says O'Sullivan, "and do up a little flyer and stick it on the bulletin board."
This theater troupe is luckier than most -- it's got a built-in audience base.
"I'm on the second floor so I just came down," says one resident.
"It's wonderful," says another. "We don't have to drive anywhere. This is just perfect."
On this snowy Friday evening, condo residents flooded into the rec room. Some came in sports jackets, others in bedroom slippers. All sat intently, watching their neighbors tackle DiPietro's tale of a 20-something and his grandparents.
You might say the members of this company adhere to the minimalist aesthetic. For this, the fourth show they've staged, costuming consisted of a kitchen apron and a pair of suspenders. One of the group's previous offerings called for a barking dog. O'Sullivan supplied the sound effects for that one.
"I sat over there and I barked, 'Bow wow wow wow. Ruff ruff ruff.'"
The theatergoers weren't at all bothered by the lack of props or that the lighting design amounted to florescent ceiling bulbs.
"I came once before," says one resident. "I was so impressed with it that I brought two of my friends tonight." "It was just a marvelous experience," says another.
As the show's director, O'Sullivan loves the rave reviews. But what means even more to her is knowing that, in a society where many don't even know their neighbors' names, this play was able to create connections.
"You saw people laughing here," says O'Sullivan. "You saw people weeping here. Wow. Imagine to touch somebody like that. There's a bond you never lose."
And it's a bond that's rarely cultivated by the more typical neighborly interactions, like, say, ramming the end of a broomstick into the ceiling to let the guy upstairs know your thoughts on the volume of his stereo.

CHICO — Through his work, Chico City Council candidate Andrew Coolidge contacts hundreds of businesses a year.
"I'm spending 30 percent of my time in Oroville talking to the same companies that used to be located" in Chico, he said.
Chico is a great place to live, run a business and raise a family. But the town must be "proactive in order to not only survive, but to thrive."
He has lived in Chico for 20 years, and was originally from the Marysville/Yuba City area.
His work includes producing the Chico Home and Garden Show and he raises sponsorship for the Silver Dollar Fair. Community involvement includes being past president of the Chico Country Day School parents group.
Coolidge said his No. 1 priority is to be a "voice for business," and to focus on jobs and secondly public works improvements.
Getting business permits, whether for a remodel or new construction, is difficult, he said.
"What we're not doing is standing there with open arms," Coolidge said.
"We need to be proactive."
If a person files a permit for a project, someone from the city needs to "walk them through that."
In the past two years there have been no discussions on the council level about business opportunities, he said.
"Talking to businesses should be the only thing we're talking about."
Coolidge said he has visited close to 7,000 homes. Many concerns are about specific neighborhoods, including street repairs and neighbors who play loud music.
A common theme is lack of economic opportunities, he said.
He believes the city should review budgets monthly. Also, savings could come from many small things, a few examples being not to print full-color glossy covers for reports and watching the use of lighting. These things add up, he said.
Among other items, he wants to keep leaf pickup within the city and is against raising downtown parking fees.

Photo Gallery: Give Your Home A Holiday Makeunder
Pare back with natural accents.
Pick a snowy white palette.
Keep things uncomplicated: white flowers and tableware provides a calming background when dining while fresh greens add a pop of colour and life. A large branch has real presence in a foyer.
The focal point of holiday festivities doesn't need to look busy.
Mantels are often the site of overcrowding during the holidays, but this family home offers good cheer with a simple string of humble felted animals and ornaments.
Delicate branches are sculptural.
It's not the pick of the lot, but this spindly tree highlights just a few, special ornaments (they sure won't get lost in the branches), and it doesn't require boxes of baubles to dress.
Black ribbon accents homespun paper.
For a serene look, take a minimalist approach to gifts and wrap boxes in kraft paper, embellished with a grosgrain bow and finished with a sprig of greenery for texture.
Hung with a luxe bow, this wreath has impact.
The contrast of unadorned cedar with a sumptuous satin gold bow is contemporary and lush. Hang it low to create more drama.
This arrangement can sub in for a tree.
Hung with tonal ornaments, this low-cost branch arrangement suspended by floral wire conveys the magic of the season, and doesn't eat up valuable floor space when entertaining.
A chic alternative to the poinsettia.
Less expected than pots of traditional poinsettia or paperwhites, a small evergreen in a burlap-wrapped container enlivens a guest bedroom or den.
A mirror makes a natural frame.
Put the natural reflective quality of glass to work and double the lushness of an unadorned feathery cedar wreath by hanging it in front of a mirror. Candlesticks, old-gold ribbon and tarnished objets inject a warm look.
This accent is compact and modern.
In contemporary spaces, a monochromatic tree keeps the vibe soothing and minimalistic, and lets the bold orange gifts be the stars of the show.
Add personality with casual accents.
Mix-and-match tableware, a potted evergreen and scattered boughs are a relaxed approach to setting a seasonal tone. Antler candleholders play up the natural theme.
An outdoorsy take on holiday florals.
Bring robust outdoor-style arrangements inside to flank a pretty doorway. Tall containers lend grandeur and keep balsam and cedar boughs out of the way of pets.
A grouping of treasured ornaments is a personal, easy way to add a quick seasonal hit of colour.
"Juxtaposition is key to my style — like this modern bowl holding ornate vintage ornaments," says Suzanne. "My neighbour makes these cheeky calling cards, and we like to leave them out for fun during cocktail parties."

#1: Help a new curly teen out?
Hi, I have had relaxed my hair for many years. In the past two years I have stopped and now have my natural hair very long. However, my hair is not curling. My entire head of hair is curly but when it tries it dries horribly. The curls are not defined at all. My curls are an "S" shape at the outer surface but inside it's just random curls of all types. I can't not blow dry my hair because when it air dries it just grows brittle and really dry, it looks like hay and it basically balloons to the side of my head. No curls are even seen.
