Note the addition of nicknames. Since the creatures were never named on screen, multiple names have been given to each Predator by fans, cast and crew. The most often used name will be listed on the front (Elder in this case) with the aliases listed on the back (Golden Angel, Greyback). Little bit of Predator trivia to share with your friends.

When you're out shopping for portable audio speakers, it's hard to know which one has the best quality AND won't put a hole in your wallet. There are so many brands, models, and features that could easily overwhelm anyone shopping for new speakers. However, once you try out the SimplyVibe V5-BT1, you'll never have trouble shopping for speakers again.
The SimplyVibe V5-BT1 portable speakers are the newest model that have been introduced on SimplyGlobo's website. One of the best features of this product is that it is Bluetooth which means it can hook up to your laptops, smartphones or tablets without dealing with any cords or plugging anything in. It's very simple to pair your device with the speakers and the instructions are user friendly and straightforward. Once your device is paired up, all you have to do is choose a song and hit play! You can control the volume as well as switch songs from either your own device or the speakers which I find very convenient. These amazing speakers can play up to 18 hours on medium volume without needing a charge, so you don't have to worry about charging it all of the time. The speakers aren't the only thing that can be charged; in case your phone battery is about to die, you can use the included USB and charge your phone using the speakers. That's a very special feature that you won't find on a lot of portable speakers. Also, if you're using your smartphone to listen to music and you get a call at the same time, you can answer the call using the product as a speakerphone! It takes one press of the button and you can talk to someone straight from the speaker and then go right back to listening to your music. After learning about all of the unique features of the SimplyVibe V5-BT1, I hope this helps make your shopping experience a lot less stressful! Happy shopping!

Editor's Note: The material below is primarily from the Instructor Manual for Dalton, Elias & Wandersman (2007), Community psychology: Linking individuals and communities (2nd ed.), but has been adapted for use with any community-related course with any text. We encourage you to upload additional suggestions for videos, DVDs or related resources.
The following videos illustrate mid-20th-century contexts for the emergence of community psychology in the U.S.
Some instructors in community psychology courses begin or complement their course by having students watch and discuss a feature-length film, whether fictional or a documentary. You may stage a "movie night" for the class to watch together, or just assign students to rent the video and discuss the film on scheduled day in class, or have them write brief papers on it. If chosen well, the film can provide memorable illustrations for community concepts that you can use throughout the course. Many films can be springboards for a discussion of the core values and topics of community psychology.
Your own sense of your students is the best guide. Consider what films, scenes or images may be uncomfortable for some students, especially those with more conservative lifestyles. Offer an alternative learning experience to students who do not wish to view a film. Even if you have seen a film previously, review it again before using it for class, trying to see it through the eyes of a reluctant student in your university context. While discussing a film, listen carefully to students' views. As works of art, films can elicit divergent yet valid responses from viewers.
The websites here offer information and resources, including videos and related materials, on historical and social forces relevant to community and social issues, human diversity, and social justice.
Many videos offer vivid portrayals of historical forces and social issues relevant to community psychology. Browse for one that fits your purposes at online book and video stores, or at these sources for many videos originally broadcast on PBS:
Videos are an excellent way to broaden students' experience beyond their own culture and to illustrate oppression and acculturation issues. However, they require discussion that bridges between the events and viewpoints on camera and students' preconceptions and experiences. In addition, not all videos on diversity issues identify community resources and strengths. Your own viewing of television and film documentaries can lead you to other useful resources that can be used in whole or in part in class. Our list also includes a website with teaching resources and an article with practical tips on teaching about diversity issues.
Carol Yakish recommended the following videos on women in cultural, particularly Native American, context. All are available from Women Make Movies, which also has many other videos on women's and diversity issues.
These videos, produced in the 1960s yet still classics, document the processes of Alinsky's work.
Gloria Levin, who was trained as a community organizer at Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation, suggested one of these, but also added these comments: "When I used [Saul Alinsky Went to War], I found that students got carried away with his charisma and boldness and swagger, at first ignoring the ethical implications of the words and tactics he espoused. Women students would eventually feel a little uneasy because of his macho style. Then as discussion proceeded, students began focusing on issues such as whether the ends justified the means."
Useful discussion thus can focus not only on the short-term success of the conflict strategies that Alinsky used, but also on the ethical and longer-term consequences of these methods, in the face of great differences in power and resources available to disenfranchised communities and powerful opponents.
Preventing School Violence (29 minutes). Presents programs that have been demonstrated to reduce school violence (one is the Highland Park program in Emotional Intelligence just described). Interviews with psychologists Daniel Goleman and James Garbarino focus on improving the school environment, promoting social-emotional competencies and identifying risk factors for extreme violence.

In its latest "World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates" report released on Tuesday, the USDA lowered corn's season-average farm price for yet another month. This price for 2013-2014 was lowered by 10 cents at the midpoint with the range narrowed to $4.05 to $4.75
"Average prices received by farmers, however, are expected to continue to be reported above prevailing cash bids well into early 2014 as some sales will reflect the higher forward prices available before harvesting," the report said.
The USDA also projected corn exports to jump 50 million bushels higher based on the pace of sales to date and an increase in global consumption. U.S. feed grain supplies for 2013-2014 was also slightly higher.
The report also raised the projected the season-average soybean price range for 2013-2013 at $11.50 to $13.50 per bushel, up 35 cents on both ends of the range. Soybean exports are forecast to increase by 25 million bushels to 1.475 billion, reflecting record commitments through November.

Maxwell is rewarding Porter's faith
SEATTLE -- Astros center fielder Justin Maxwell struggled mightily at the plate this spring, hitting just .153, but manager Bo Porter never flinched. He remained committed to the promising youngster and was confident he was going to be able perform when the season started.
Maxwell has done just that through one week of the season. He entered Monday's game against the Mariners hitting .381 with two RBIs and a pair of triples, and he singled in his first at-bat Monday. He's also played Gold Glove-caliber center field.
"That's why a lot of times you look at Spring Training numbers, and I think I said this even in the spring, you looked at his numbers and he's hitting a buck something and I go, 'I'm not worried about it,'" he said. "If you looked, he was putting together some of the best swings we had on the team.
"You look at the numbers of balls he put in play hard, and he had a high percentage, and now he's putting the same swings on the ball and he's getting hits, and defensively he's one of the best players in baseball."
When asked if he was the most athletic player on the team, Porter quipped: "If you're taking roll, his name could be at the top of the chart," he said.

You just ran a 10K, did several sets of leg extensions, or climbed several flights of stairs ... again. And your knees are sore. You've gained a "friend" around your waist or hips and, despite your best intent and recent weeklong Tony Robbins seminar, your knees prevent you from going for power walks or climbing onto a stair climber as frequently as you use your Starbucks debit card. What may be aching you is osteoarthritis (OA). If you're between 35-74 years of age, this most common form of arthritis unites you with between 5-15% of your age-mates in the occidental world. Estimates suggest that 6 out of every 100 persons in the US have the symptoms of OA. Surprisingly, no drug therapies appear to have the ability to slow or even reverse the course of the condition. But if we shift our eyes away from the pharmacist and the prescription pad we see a beacon of promise: glucosamine sulfate.
Glucosamine sulfate may be the best form to use
Glucosamine sulfate is one of the most well-researched natural products for chronic osteoarthritis, with robust safety and effectiveness data that overshadows even many over-the-counter and prescription drugs. The selection of the sulfate form, coupled with once-daily use (1,500 mg) would appear to be the evidence-based manner to extract the benefits reported in medical research studies.

Luck has also said the stadium could host youth baseball events and concerts.Discussions about who will handle daily operations are continuing, but Luck said in an email to the newspaper that WVU will likely assume the responsibility.The developers plan to award a contract this fall and start construction in December. They're also planning about $5 million in preliminary road and intersection improvements near the Granville shopping center.When the stadium is done, developers would build a $24 million exit along Interstate 79. The West Virginia Design-Build Board has already approved a plan to let WVU use a "design-build" approach to the project, a streamlined system that lets public agencies bid a construction project as a single package to predetermined teams of architects, engineers, contractors and subcontractors.Typically, public agencies have to award separate contracts to many companies, staff member Donna Lipscomb said Tuesday. Legal advertising and bidding are still required, she said, but design-build allows them to make a single award."Design-build is quicker," she said, "because they're able to start getting the site prepared and start moving dirt while they're still working on the design."Cities, counties and other public entities that use the process agree to accept intense state scrutiny in exchange for the chance to get their projects off the ground faster and with fewer expensive change orders, Lipscomb said.WVU and its developers must provide the board with bids from three to five teams for review.Design-build has been an option for public bodies in West Virginia since 1999, but Lipscomb said interest has been growing since the Legislature tweaked the statute in 2005 to give the board more oversight.The state School Board Authority is preparing to try it, she said, to determine whether the approach is faster and cheaper.

Police investigating the discovery of a human head washed up on a Rottnest Island beach are using analysis of sea currents and the national missing person's database to search for answers.
A holidaying family made the discovery inside a plastic bag at Porpoise Bay on Sunday.
''They were, obviously, very shocked and we've put in place what we can to assist them with the feelings that they are going through,'' Detective Senior Sergeant Cameron Western of the West Australian Major Crime Squad said.
The head belonged to a Caucasian man about 30 to 50, police believe. It had no front teeth. An examination showed the teeth were lost sometime before their owner met ''whatever fate he's met'', Senior Sergeant Western said.
Police plan to search the rest of the island's southern coastline as part of the investigation.
''We are conducting investigations to determine the currents surrounding that area,'' Senior Sergeant Western said. ''The avenues that things could have arrived from are limitless.''

Chippenham will be treated to three days of drama, music and dance this weekend with the Community Arts Festival springing up in several venues across town.
It is an extension of last year's drama festival and a mixture of professional touring and local amateur acts.
Hardenhuish School drama teacher Duncan Ellis, who has co-organised the event with Laura Graham-May of Rag & Bone Arts, said: "We wanted to bring in other types of arts this time. It's just about starting something up, building something worthwhile, giving a cultural identity to the town.
"It will hopefully snowball into something bigger and establish Chippenham as a viable place for the arts.
"We have the potential to start something like the Corsham Pound. St Andrew's Hall is not used a lot but could fulfil a similar function. You could quite easily extend the stage and be looking at something quite exciting."
On Friday The Citadel will host a Kandu Arts open mic night at, and at St Andrew's from 4pm to 9pm, there will be a free Rag and Bone physical acting workshop, singalong with Chippenham Community Choir, two "socially interesting" monologues by Salisbury's Bootleg Theatre Company and improvisation from Chimps.
Saturday sees a varied mix of Mozart operas at The Cause and a cabaret night at St Andrew's, with storybook theatre from Rag and Bone Arts in the Yelde Hall and a free outdoor performance of Midsummer Night's Dream by Hardenhuish School Year 9 pupils at the Buttercross at 12.30pm.
There are dance workshops from 9.45am to 4pm at The Citadel, including line dancing, street dance and belly dancing.
At the Astoria on Friday at 8pm, there is another chance to see Kandu Arts' feature film Bash Street from 2011, about youths in Chippenham; Andre Rieu's 10th Anniversary 2014 Maastricht Concert is screened live on Saturday at 7pm and Monty Python Live (Mostly) at the O2 is on Sunday at 7pm.
International touring troupe of clowns Le Navet Bete show off their circus skills at St Andrew's at 3.15pm on Sunday, followed by a 7.30pm performance by Chile Beans Jazz Band.
Mr Ellis' own theatre group, Noonday Demons, raise the curtain at The Cause with A Soldier's Tale, a 20-minute play about the only American soldier in World War Two to be shot for desertion. Members of the cast have returned home from university to rehearse.
They open ahead of Green Stag Theatre's 5pm production of World War One play Brotherhood.
Local artists will be displaying and selling their artwork in the museum, Chocolate Frost and Revolutions on Friday and Saturday.
Event tickets range from £1 to £10 and can be bought from Chippenham Community & Visitor Information Centre in High Street and on (01249) 665970.

Council reduces hiatus period for termed-out members
The Los Altos City Council last week shortened the length of time termed-out councilmembers must wait before being eligible for appointment to a city commission. The change resulted from a review of the council's norms and procedures at a special Jan. 7 meeting.
Councilwoman Val Carpenter proposed the change, which would make former councilmembers eligible for appointment to city commissions, ad hoc and other council-appointed bodies after a two-year hiatus from public service. The new waiting period is consistent with the time termed-out councilmembers must wait before being eligible to run for a seat on the council again.
The revamped rule, scheduled for a final vote at the Jan. 28 meeting – would reduce the existing four-year waiting period. The council approved the four-year moratorium last February by a narrow 3-2 vote.
Carpenter conceded that while she initially agreed to the four-year period, she accepted the change because she believes that the city benefits from the experience and skills former councilmembers can provide various city bodies.
"I did drive that change, and, to me, it's still a compromise," said Carpenter, a two-term councilmember in her final year of elected service. "The people who serve on the council are community-minded individuals who have contributed significantly to the community."
Carpenter called the adjustment to a two-year waiting period a "move in the right direction" and noted that her motivation to seek the change isn't "really about any one person."

Remembering Ben
How do you cope with loss when that loss doesn't make sense? Like many others, I try to live by the design that "things happen for a reason," making good out of the hand that I'm dealt. I spent 24 years "making good" out of any not-so-good situation that came my way (Didn't get into my first-choice college? Probably just a bunch of bookworms. Got dumped? I've been eyeing a new guy anyways). But when I received a call one year ago that my friend Ben had died in a car accident, I felt my world change. I suddenly knew loss that I couldn't make sense of. And I felt something I had never truly experienced – sorrow.
When you lose someone – whether a 25-year-old friend or a grandparent or a pet – recognition of the gravity they had in your world tumbles into your consciousness, and it is intense. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to not take our loved ones for granted, at least a little bit, while we're all still here. We can try really hard. We can say "I love you" a million times; we can whittle our way through our speed dials every day – but we are only human, and our human tendencies often fall short. If I could choose any superhero trait, it would probably be the super-human ability to really show those who shape my life how much they mean to me, everyday. I saw Ben at a wedding a few weeks before his death. He introduced me to his girlfriend Mignonne, and we laughed so hard we cried when our friend Allie broke a glass in front of the entire reception. But I didn't know to hold onto the moment. The thought, "I should have cherished that moment like it was the last" only arrived once Ben was gone.
Ben's death affected us all. The "us" I refer to is a tight-knit group of friends who grew up together in Charleston, South Carolina; his family; Mignonne; his friends that he met off in college in Texas and after he came back home post-graduation; it's the collective group that came together in the wake of his death, all in sorrow and remembrance. Ben was our pal – he was hilarious, caring, and a blast. In the days after his death, I remember what we kept reiterating about Ben, like it suddenly hit us for the first time: he really was nice to everyone! No one could recall him snubbing anyone – ever – and maybe we didn't appreciate that enough while he was here.
Of the collective "us," one person who lost Ben is Will, Ben's younger brother – though only by 14 months – and Ben's best friend. On hard days, I couldn't help but focus on Will and his family. How could THEY cope? But, as it turns out, in the past year Will has been the one who has helped me cope. We were talking one day, and I told him that I missed Ben, but added a sort of disclaimer: "But of course I know it can't ever compare to how you feel!" Will was quick to tell me to put my guard down. We all miss Ben; we've all been affected by his death… maybe to varying degrees, but we all have that in common. And the best way to heal is to come together and remember.
This Monday, it will be a year since Ben left us. The past 365 days have made up a year of remembering Ben. Web sites have been made in his honor, stories have been shared, and his family and closest friends are planning a charity golf tournament in his name (which will send a child on scholarship to Porter Gaud – the school where Ben ripped up and down the football field and had zillions of friends).
The best thing we can do is to keep on remembering. If you're reading this post and you knew Ben, feel free to leave a comment so we can remember together. If you're reading this post and you didn't know him but have lost a "Ben" of your own, please tell us about him (or her) too.
In memory of Benjamin Wyatt Burris, October 28, 1982 – August 3, 2008

Great Saddle, Short Rails
By Durango52
from Binghamton, NY
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Brooks Flyer Saddle Men's Black Top Saddle:
I put this on my hard tail, mountain bike after trying three, modern plastic saddles with a variety of padding. Note that I no longer use my mountain bike for mountain biking, so my experience only relates to riding on roads and paths. I followed the recommended procedures for treating the leather on the top and bottom of the saddle before I mounted it. I also put an Aardvark waterproof saddle cover on it to prevent it from getting wet. Although the Brooks Flyer was never painfully uncomfortable, after 300 miles it became very comfortable and has only become moreso with additional mileage. Now I would describe it as the most comfortable saddle I have ever owned.I haven't done more than a 5-hour, 60-mile ride, but I had absolutely no discomfort at the end of those rides, unlike previous rides of that length on the plastic and gel padded saddle(s). It does creak occasionally, but I don't really mind that considering how comfortable it is. With proper care, I expect the saddle will outlast the bike and may outlast me.NOTE: The short rails will limit the amount of fore and aft adjustment you can make.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

What saddle is no longer the issue
By Ron L
from Chalfont, PA
I find that I no longer think about whether the saddle is comfortable or not, it just is. The downside is that there is a break in period, although I found it still comfortable from the start, it just becomes better and more of a bike issue that you don't have to think about anymore.Just know that it is heavy (if you want lighter than go with the B17 for the non-sprung version).I'd reccommend this saddle to anyone, especially those who are comfort oriented like me as a 50 year old man getting back into cycling. With government budgets getting thinner and them not maintaining roads like they should, I think a sprung saddle is becoming a must along with riding fatter road tires (I currently run 700 x 28c) to help smooth out the bumps in the road.
Very comfortable.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
See all my reviews
I should start with the fact that I'm middle aged and just started mountain biking recently so I may be seeking a bit more comfort than a pro. My bike came with a small shoe-horn on the end of the seat post so I replaced it with a big memory foam padded saddle. Both turned out to be rather uncomfortable. I read quite a few reviews and ultimately decided to try this one and I'm glad that I did. It's surprisingly comfortable. It seems much less compliant than the big padded seat I had before yet it's quite a bit more comfortable. I've heard that it will be truly comfortable after a fairly lengthy break-in period but it's quite comfortable now so I'm not concerned with speeding up the break-in period. I'm using the Proofide as recommended by Brooks so that hopefully this saddle will last me a long time. I am getting used to the slickness of it and if I had to list a con, that might be it but it's less a problem and more of an adjustment. In many ways, the slickness is actually beneficial, you just have to get used to where the seat is as it seems to disappear sometimes.
It doesn't get any better

About Me Commuter
I used to ride years ago as my only means of transportation and I never got used to the seats and in later years that memory kept me away from bike riding. I started reading about the different type of saddels people road on long bike rides and the Brooks kept showing up as the best ride. I tried one and am now riding 35 miles 2-3 times a week with no bumm issues! Wish I knew about Brooks years ago.

Best seat ever!
By sprocket
from Spokane, WA
I had the B-17 for years, and that is also a fantastice saddle. Then I transitioned to the Flyer to help absorb some of the potholes in my commute and I fell in love with it. It has the best of both worlds - brooks comfort with shock absorbing springs. It may be heavy but for commuting, long rides, ceturies, etc the extra weight is SO worth it. You won't be sorry with this choice! Worth every cent and more.

100 mile and it does not hurt!
By Nick
from Arizona
About Me Casual Cyclist
I have had the saddle for a year. Mostly commuting it felt very comfortable. but I just rode a century today on the saddle. No pain and no saddle sores on my bottom. Absorb most of the shock from the bumps in the road. I am going to buy one for my mountain bicycle.

Super comfortable - worth every penny
By Bernie
from Grass Valley, CA
I have a box full of expensive saddles. I tried them all but they all had issues. I was never fully comfortable on my bike. Eventually based on recommendations from hard core tour riders I tried the Brooks Flyer. It was comfortable from the start and just got better from there. I now have put three or four thousand miles on it, including two RAGBRAIs. The seat just disappears under you and is no longer a concern. I can ride all day - put in a double century and get off with no numbness or sores. Great saddle well worth the bit of extra weight.

Just as Advertized..it is comfortable
By Earle
from Tulsa, OK
I placed it on my rode bike 4 years ago and have never taken it off. I now have ridden 5,300 miles and the saddle still looks great, almost like new. The saddle is no longer flat and smooth but rather dimpled to comform to the shap of posterior. With this saddle I know longer have problems with pressure points and pain. The leather has even got wet a couple of times and it the kept its form and shine. I have recently purchased a new road bike for the Oklahoma Free Wheel and my Brooks will replace the new saddle.

Berkman back in lineup despite sore knee
ARLINGTON -- After sitting out three games at Wrigley Field, Rangers designated hitter Lance Berkman was back in the lineup Friday -- sore knee and all.
Berkman, 37, underwent two left knee surgeries last season and said he's OK with not playing every day in order to stay healthy.
"Whenever you get to be a certain age with a certain injury history, you certainly have to be cognizant of overuse and overexertion," Berkman said. "I didn't play last year, really, and so part of this year's going to be finding my stride again. How many games can you play in a row? How much pressure can you put on that joint before it starts to give you problems? It's always better to be cautious in the early going because you can reap a dividend from that later."
Berkman said his knee has been bothering him more than it did this spring, but, "some of that's probably the weather conditions we've been playing in." He did not play first base during the Interleague series, though he said he could if necessary.
"I think I could do it," Berkman said. "I have had some trouble with my knee being sore just from DHing, so I'm a little bit hesitant to say I can run out there two or three or four nights in a row. But if they said, 'Hey, we absolutely have to have you play first base for a game,' I could certainly do it."

Hurdle defends removing McCutchen from game
ST. LOUIS -- Pirates fans were somewhat irritated Friday night when three members of the team drew ejections during a contentious game in which Bucs were hit by pitches three times -- while no Cardinals were removed by the umpiring crew.
But what really outraged people in Pittsburgh was something else: Center fielder Andrew McCutchen's getting removed from the game by Clint Hurdle as part of a fifth-inning double-switch. The outcry goes along these lines: You don't remove one of baseball's best players in the middle of what seemed like a still-manageable 5-0 game.
"Wait," you're asking, "wasn't Hurdle one of the Bucs ejected, long before that double-switch?"
Yes, but Hurdle acknowledged Saturday afternoon that he had sent word to replacement skipper Jeff Banister approving of and encouraging the move.
"It's the only time that I've ever been thrown out of a game that I shared my thoughts [with the replacement manager]," Hurdle said. "I wanted to make sure we did the best thing for the team. To some watching, it was a violation. But if you think it through, it makes the most sense."
McCutchen made the final out in the top of the fifth and was pulled when Jared Hughes entered in the bottom of the inning two batters after Carlos Beltran's second homer of the game, off Jeanmar Gomez, had upped St. Louis' lead to 5-0. Starling Marte shifted from left to center, and Jose Tabata entered and took the pitcher's spot in the lineup.
"We put ourselves in the best position to get through that game with the pitching we had available," said Hurdle, referring to the bind caused by starter Jonathan Sanchez's ejection with none out in the first. "McCutchen probably understood better than anyone; he got it."
McCutchen had already gone 0-for-3, stranding four baserunners and extending to 1-for-20 an ongoing lull that has dropped his average to .226.
"What if we get something going and have a couple men on base?" said Hurdle, paraphrasing critics of the move. "Well, you know what? Three times, Andrew had already been up, and obviously this wasn't his best week swinging the bat."

THE FRIDAY SIX: Q&As with Your Favorite Broadway Stars- Clarke Thorell
Welcome to THE FRIDAY SIX: Q&As With Your Favorite Broadway Stars. Want to know what hooked them to a career in the theater? Their dream roles? Their Broadway crushes? Read on!
In this week's edition, we caught up with Clarke Thorell, who is starring as 'Rooster Hannigan' in Annie- currently playing at the Palace Theatre.
What is the first Broadway show you ever saw?
Well, I saw the 1st national tours of ANNIE & A CHORUS LINE (sitting on The Edge of my seat thinking, "I don't know how but I want to do SOMETHING like that"). Then I saw my best friend in the LA company of EVITA - we were 12 years old - it was hugely inspiring & was the first time that I fully realized the power of communicating a story in this truly unique way. The first actual Broadway show I saw was SOPHISTICATED LADIES at the Lunt-Fontanne -- I was totally blown away by the Ellington score & SICK talent & showmanship of Gregory Hines & Hinton Battle.
What is your most unique pre-show ritual?
At some point before every show, after the half-hour call, I sit on the stage for a few minutes & just listen to the audience. And I always try to work some yodeling into my vocal warm up.
What is your most memorable "the show must go on" moment?
During the "invited dress" performance of HAIRSPRAY in my first scene with the Councilettes, on "The Corny Collins Show", the chord on my handheld microphone fell off & plopped onto the podium. It was just a prop but I had to act as though it had been really amplifying my voice so I kept moving my mouth as though I were continuing to speak to the "TV Audience" but didn't make any noise - I kept my eyes on the "TV camera", fumbled around with my hand, found the end of the chord, reattached it to the microphone & continued talking again, with sound. It was one of those reactions that was completely instinctual (even though I left my body for a sec) & normally it wouldn't have been acknowledged by the audience that strongly, if at all - but because the audience was made up of industry friends & family the response was crazy deafening.
What is the one role you want to play before you die?
Oof -- Either Wesley or Inigo Montoya in, the still yet to be penned, THE PRINCESS BRIDE musical.
Who is your Broadway crush?
HAHAAA - Well, my first was Deborah Rush in NOISES OFF, based on how simultaneously hilarious & sexy she was (and I got to tell her that when we recently worked together in GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES). Now I have a bunch of 'em -- I can't help but be all googly-eyed when women pour their hearts into their work and communicate so beautifully with huge talent, sense of humor, beautiful spirit, etc. -- gosh... Jessica Molaskey, Kelli O'Hara, Elizabeth Stanley, Chita Rivera, Megan Hilty, Sunny and Casey (the rescue pooches who play Sandy in our show) to name a few.
Where can people stalk you online?
Just recently found fun & inspiration on the Twitter, but for now I read more than I write -- @ClarkeThorell. Tune in for Annie #SIPs

California has hit a major renewable energy milestone: state regulators reported Thursday that more than 1 gigawatt -- or 1,000 megawatts -- of solar power has been installed throughout the state through the California Solar Initiative, the state's aggressive program to encourage homeowners, businesses, local governments and nonprofit organizations to install solar panels on their roofs.
San Jose alone has installed 54.6 megawatts on homes and commercial buildings, making it California's top solar city. San Diego is a close second, followed by and Bakersfield, Fresno and Lancaster.
One megawatt is enough to power 750 to 1,000 homes. But since the sun doesn't shine all the time, solar industry experts say that 1 megawatt of solar can power about 200 households.
Launched in 2007, the California Solar Initiative is an ambitious road map that calls for 1,940 new megawatts of solar power to be installed in the state by 2016.
At the end of 2012, the CSI program had installed 1,066 megawatts in its general market and affordable housing programs, which mean it is more than halfway, or 55 percent, toward the 1,940 megawatt goal. Of that, 558 megawatts are installed in PG&E's vast northern California territory. An additional 332 megawatts, or 17 percent of the total, are in the pipeline.
"California has the most customer-side solar installations of any state in the nation," said Michael Peevey, president of the California Public
Utilities Commission. "This is a tremendous milestone for California and a testament to the success of the California Solar Initiative."
The goal of the program is to help solar achieve what's known in the renewable energy industry as "grid parity" -- the much-awaited point where solar can compete with cheaper sources of energy such as natural gas.
The initiative is based on financial incentives that decline over time. When the program launched in 2007, consumers could get rebates as high as $2.50 a watt across the state. But the demand has been so strong that the incentive has fallen to just 20 cents a watt in PG&E territory.
"Incentives are falling quickly," said Melicia Charles, solar program manager for the CPUC. "It's happening much faster than many expected."

2013 Big Smoke Las Vegas Evenings
G. Clay Whittaker
Posted: November 12, 2013
By 1:15 on Friday afternoon a queue had already begun to form outside the doors to the convention center at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, home to this year's Big Smoke Las Vegas Evenings. It's a new record, in fact. The 18-year-old, weekend-long smokers' festival put on by Cigar Aficionado has always drawn long lines for its famous evenings, when patrons have the chance to meet dozens of cigar stars, consume food and top-shelf beverages as they collect a bevy of incredible cigars. But this year participants lined up more than five hours early to be the head of the line, which eventually stretched through much of the hallway leading to the convention center.
At 6:30 p.m. the doors swung open and, with a well-mannered horde mentality, thousands from across the United States and around the world (guests came from as far as Australia) flooded the grand space, darting in different directions to light up handrolled, premium cigars and be first to meet the folks behind the brands.
After nearly two decades, patrons of Big Smoke Las Vegas aren't just showing earlier, they're also working smarter. A significant number of guests in groups strategized on how to maximize their efficiency, and many split their tickets in order to gather their smokes more efficiently.
"We just gotta share our tickets," said Calvin Hudson, who came in from Houston with several friends. "We've got a little table where we're gonna meet back and split them up."
Another growing tradition at Big Smoke is the group uniform. Oja, California, natives George Conrad, Mark Happach, Gene Berban and Chris Williams dressed alike in black shirts printed with the name of their hometown.
Tatuaje brand owner Pete Johnson has a long history in Vegas—all 18 years to be exact. "I used to come to the Big Smokes early on and pass out cigars for the Fuentes, the Ashton group, but officially my own cigar? I think this is my third year," said Johnson, who stepped away momentarily to autograph a canvas bag for an admirer.
Johnson says the best part about the Big Smoke is actually talking to the smokers. "Having people who come by and say 'This is my favorite booth' or 'I love your product'—that's the best. And aside from that it's really just coming to hang out with the other manufacturers, because it's one big family, and we all have a good time seeing each other."
Patrons broke between cigar-collecting rounds to find sliders and snacks provided by the Mirage—pasta stations, trays filled with iced bottles of water, and a pastry bar that included bacon maple cupcakes kept stomachs full as everyone wound their way through lines that, in some cases, stretched back 50 heads or more.
One of those lines formed in front of the Alec Bradley booth, where vice president of marketing Sam Phillips once again broke out his forehead-mounted GoPro and worked the enthusiastic crowd with giveaways.
Short breaks allowed everyone to marvel at timepieces from watchmakers Carl F. Bucherer, Hublot, Bremont, Oris and Arizona Fine Time. Humidor maker Daniel Marshall was on hand with a selection of his handmade products, as were the folks from Boveda humidification and Rabbit Air air purification.
The cigar aficionados in the ballroom washed down their food and cleaned their palates with cocktails and product ranges from whiskey makers Ardbeg, Bulleit Bourbon, rye and 10-year, Crown Royal, three blends of George Dickel, Glenfiddich, five blends of Glenmorangie, a wide range of Johnnie Walker Scotch, including the new Platinum, Michter's Bourbon, rye and sour mash. There were vodkas from Belvedere Vodka, elit by Stolichnaya and Crystal Head, which was served from an artful bar carved from ice, and rums from Zacapa and Zaya, plus Carpano Antica vermouth, a range of Guinness beers, Maestro Dobel tequila, Sandeman Port and Sledgehammer wine.
Rocky and Nish Patel, along with cousin Nimish Desai, drew long lines as patrons clamored for photo ops and a chance to meet the men behind the famous brand. Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr. of Tabacalera A. Fuente signed autographs for the crowd, and Cigar of the Year family members Jaime, Janny and Pepin Garcia from My Father Cigars also signed autographs as they handed out cigars.
The American Club's Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run golf courses sponsored a video golf-swing clinic, imaging the swings of anyone brave enough to step up to the tee and let pros analyze their style.
Glynn Loope and the crew from Cigar Rights of America also had a booth where patrons could sign up for the organization's membership, donate to the cause, and get information about protecting their rights to smoke in their home states and across the country.
Jorge Padrón said for him, the Big Smoke Las Vegas is a chance to shake hands with the fans of his product in person. "Coming here to the Big Smoke is really important for us," he said as he passed out Padrón 2000 cigars and shook the hands of excited smokers. "We get to meet all the customers—you know, there's a lot of consumers out here—and you get to talk them, get feedback on the cigars. Just meeting people—it's a very important thing for us."
At the Ashton booth, Robert Levin and daughter Meera handed out tubed Marquis cigars from their La Aroma de Cuba line, shredding handfuls of sheets from those now-famous ticket books each patron is given as they enter the showroom.
Those tickets littered the floor behind the booth of cigar star Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate cigars who worked the crowd along with Willy Herrera of Herrera Esteli, passing out Acid and Undercrown sticks to the waiting hordes. Herrera cracked a joke about making snow angels in the growing pile of hundreds of redeemed tickets.
The cigar lovers who went to the Big Smokes on Friday and Saturday night left with Cigar Aficionado bags brimming with cigars. The full list consisted of Acid, Aging Room, Alec Bradley, Arturo Fuente, Asylum, Aurora, C.A.O., Cain, Casa Fernandez, Casino Gold, Diamond Crown, Don Pepin Garcia, Dunhill, Foundry, H. Upmann, Joya de Nicaragua, Kismet, La Aroma de Cuba, La Flor Dominicana, La Gloria Cubana, La Palina, Macanudo, Montecristo, Nat Sherman, Oliva Serie O, PDR, Padrón, Partagas, Psyko Seven, Quesada, Rocky Patel, San Lotano, Sublimes, Tatuaje, Toraño, Undercrown and Villiger.
It was a smoker's paradise. Across the sold-out event, which spread over two nights, more than 4,500 cigar lovers crossed the threshold and joined the fun. But don't worry if you missed out on this one: Big Smoke New York is right around the corner.

I have been trying to attend a Big smoke event but never can seem to coordinate my off time to do so. This year I was excited to be able to attend. Wish I had gone to Cigar Aficionado's website instead of following the link in the email, I would have learned about the coupon books and the hotel room discounts. I can live with the long lines to get in, but after crossing the entry my ticket was scanned and I was given the Cigar Aficionado's Tote, I then lined up for my first cigar only to find out I needed a coupon book to get one, I checked inside my tote no coupon book - yikes! I went back to the entry and after a short fight with the door scanners finally was given a coupon book, by then the lines had double and tripled in size, my son just barely made the cut as he entered the doors were shut leaving what I can only guess as 100's still waiting in line. No Place to sit down, there were tables and chairs but I quickly learned theses were reserved for the various Cigar Distributors. The Ball Room was large and there was ample room for chairs and even more tables but none could be found, not to enjoyable to stand for hours trying to juggle a drink much less trying to eat anything.
I won't bother attending in the future - hopefully they can sort it out, Standing in line for over an hour to get in and then having no place to sit doesn't work guys.
Again, I had a blast, but I think the set up needs a major change for next year. Thank you to Cigar Aficionado however for a great time. I walked with about 45 cigars, top shelf scotch and sliders in my belly, and a huge smile on my face.
and Alec Bradley created the most attention for the crowd. This was where most who attended fell into the misfortune of standing in lines for 45 minutes just to shake hands, get an autograph or meet one of the cigar family members. Alec Bradley fans had the most funs trying to snag free "hats",that were tossed out in a frenzy.
The good part of the event is meeting new faces, relaxing with others who have traveled from all over North America for the event. It was entertaining to say the least. We seen our old acquaintances, tosted another year of fine smokes, and talked of "seeing you next year!" Yes, this year we had 37 cigars all of which were of high quality and hand rolled. You can't get any better than that. Best Event and turnout ever!
1. The food was mediocre. It is the first time I can recall being hungry after the event. Bring back the local restaurants like Delmonicos and Del Friscos... They added class and good food.
2. There is no reason for the ridiculous lines at a few of the booths. Don't hold us all hostage to get a cigar. Hand them out and have a separate line for other stuff like merchandise, autographs, etc.

Magic Stephenson.
That is all.
I'm shocked by how wells this team is playing. I don't know what else to say.
We're witnessing something very special.
@SportsCenter: Blue Collar, Gold Swagger! Pacers move to 8-0 w/ win over Grizzlies. Lance Stephenson gets 1st career triple-double: 13 Pts, 11 Reb, 12 Ast.
Hells to the yeah. This team is ready for greatness. With every win we make it harder for Miami to pass us if they even can lol
is it Friday yet?
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
PG had 8 points with what 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and finds his way to 23? Scola was on fire early too I loved that
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
6 Players in double figures BTW
Lance was obviously going for 11-11-13 as a tribute to the vets but one bucket too many and an assist to few
now THAT'S what I'm talkin' bout!!
Orlando and Solomon both had tough nights, but other than that, everyone played well.
George Hill's effort won't attract the same praise as some others' (and rightfully so), but I was very encouraged by what I saw. He did a good job keeping Conley at bay, but more importantly, he was pushing the ball well on offense and in transition. If we can get this George Hill on a night-by-night basis (the attitude and approach), I'll be a very happy Pacers fan.
My oh my. This team is something else. What an exceptional display. We shared the ball excellently. Really, has there been another game with so many assists by us? Lance was just brilliant. I was laughing with Roy cause the dude almost effortlessly blocks anybody that comes close to him. I love this team guys. I love it to bits.
We have reached a point when there is almost no need to mention our D cause you know it will be there every night. This is amazing and so tough to achieve.
Finally so great to have a dependable bench. Scola is playing exactly like the way we wanted him to be. Not only he scores but that gives extra rest to West or Hibbert. Depth, depth, depth.
This was casual dominance.
I'm trying to remember when we so casually just chopped up a really good team like that.
I love reading people praise the **** out of this team. I'm pretty stoked right now, and I don't think anybody could see this type of start to the season.
Hill owned Conley.
We're the best team in the league.
We still haven't scored 100 points, but we're beating teams so bad. Damn defense, so tough!
Lance with a trip dub! So happy for this kid!
PG with another 20-pt game...damn!
Great win, great performance from Lance.
The exciting thing about this win to me was that we finally saw the chemistry of the 2nd quarter lineup start to click. Last year we were a very bad 2nd quarter team well because our bench players were awful. This year the 2nd quarter has also been a struggle but I think it is more to do with the bench trying to find their chemistry than being a bad unit. They've proven individually that they are good players with good performances from Scola, Watson, OJ, and even Mahinmi playing very well to start the year, but they've struggled up to this point when they've all been on the floor at the same time. I think they are all starting to figure out each others games, starting to figure out what sets or where to get Scola the ball to be effective, how to get OJ some open shots, and most importantly Lance is truly finding his way as the play maker for this unit. If this 2nd quarter production continues to improve and be a positive wow watch out league because we've already established ourselves as a GREAT 3rd and 4th quarter team.
Funny we both picked the same word but it was just that. Casual.
Yup, that's pretty much what he was tonight. Give this cat a 32 uniform and we're good to go.

No more false dichotomies. It's time for a real conversation about marijuana.
Incarceration or legalization? "Lock 'em up" or "Let 'em use?"
These phrases have dominated the discussion about marijuana over the past decade. As a result, advocates – not scientists, doctors, people in recovery, disadvantaged communities, or young people affected by marijuana use and its policies – have been at the forefront of changing marijuana laws in the United States.
We are a new group of professionals advocating for a fresh approach that neither legalizes, nor demonizes, marijuana.
We need smart policies that reduce marijuana use but don't cripple marijuana users with life-devastating arrest records. This commonsense, third-way approach uses science, public health and public safety principles to guide marijuana policy.

Amy Grant
Ever since 1978's self-titled debut, Amy Grant has hung around, producing a whopping 16 more solo albums. With numerous awards, chart-topping hits (like the pop crossover hit, "Baby, Baby") and tributes to her name, Grant is definitely a star and despite being a mother four times over, she's still a looker.
AppealWe know she was born in 1960 and that she's happily married with four kids, but we can't shake the idea that Amy Grant is hot. And her beauty is real -- just look at her pictures. She has maintained an aura of sensuality that is quite spectacular, and it seems that it's growing more and more with every passing year.
SuccessFrom her first album in 1978 and 1982's Age to Age to the recent Legacy... Hymns & Faith, Amy Grant has cleaned up in terms of multi-platinum sales, Grammy awards and Dove awards (which honor Christian music).
Her popularity has compounded with the release of each record and, while having six number one hits (and counting...), she has also appeased the gospel and Christian communities by properly representing. Evidently, her resume reads like a wish list of a rookie artist: If it is possible, Grant has done it. Tours, television specials and Christmas CDs complete her stunning list of accomplishments.
Amy Grant BiographyAmy Lee Grant was born November 25, 1960, in Augusta, Georgia, but was raised in Nashville, Tennessee. The Grant family returned to Nashville after her father, a doctor, completed his residency in Georgia.
Playing guitar for her high-school friends in Nashville, Amy Grant already showed the musical aptitude that would eventually propel her to stardom. Heavily influenced by the Church and the hymns played during services, she grew up dabbling in singing and songwriting at the city's most prestigious schools.
a sweeping success story
Grant's boost into the music industry seems like it was written from a storybook. Working at a local studio sweeping floors, a tape that she had made for her family was overheard by an executive in Nashville, who subsequently played it for his peers. Soon after, Grant was signed at the age of 17. She released her first album one year later and the world (and music charts) was introduced to a fresh, young face that would top the charts for at least another quarter-century.
spreading the gospel
The concept of crossing over was not out of reach for Grant, who, after seeing her reach as a new artist, established Christian music as an acceptable genre to all. With the 1982 album Age To Age, she proved that there was room for faith and gospel in pop. She received a Grammy for Best Contemporary Album in 1983 and followed it up with Straight Ahead, Unguarded and Heart In Motion, which spawned the single that introduced her to the rest of the pop music world in 1991: "Baby, Baby."
The success of "Baby, Baby" made her the first "Christian" musician to hit the number one spot on the Billboard charts, and it was followed up by the hit, "That's What Love Is For." Already married with two children, Grant was a huge star and still rising.
life is sweet
Grant became an icon with follow-up albums that saw success (albeit not always the same kind of success as their predecessors), and the fact that she used her fame to better other people's lives only helped her cause. With connections in Hollywood and politics (such as the Bush families), Grant established herself as a caring artist who was aware of just how lucky she was. In total (and so far), she has raked in five Grammys and a whopping 18 Dove awards, in addition to humanitarian awards from various establishments.
After a trifecta of Christmas albums and a religious release in 2002 called Legacy... Hymns & Faith, Grant is firmly settled into a comfortable life with her more recent husband, famed country singer Vince Gill and her four children (one with Gill). But of course, fame came at a price, as Grant was hurled into controversy when rumors were flying that she and Vince Gill were already romantically involved at the time of Grant's first marriage.
With 17 albums, awards on her mantle, television appearances and tours, Amy Grant is truly "da woman" -- and we have faith in her talent and celebrity.

I finally got him to share his secret recipe and I'm sharing it with all of you. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a dip to take to your Superbowl party.

I have been looking for a great dip recipe, and this one looks delish! I'm glad you got your brother to share your recipe =)
Spinach and artichoke dip is my very favorite. I don't make it often, but it's one of those things my family expects at family events. My goddaughter even made me a special artichoke plate to serve it on!
Lucky you to get to share your brother's secret recipe. Family recipes are the best.
Love this recipe and the fact that fresh spinach is used and not frozen! I love spinach and artichoke dip, but have always been intimidated to make it…. WHY!?!? It looks so simple. On my to-do list! 🙂
Yum…so trying this one on Sunday!! Thanks!!
One of my all time favorites! Yummy!
Yummy! This dip seems to be a favorite of almost everyone 🙂

Scioscia sits six regulars prior to storm
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The rain kept the Angels from playing their front-line players on Friday, robbing manager Mike Scioscia of his second chance to see Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols batting back-to-back. Scioscia changed his lineup due to the weather, sitting down six regulars.
Howie Kendrick, Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo and Peter Bourjos were also in the original lineup, and Scioscia knows he'll have plenty of chances to see his batting order click over the next few weeks. The Angels are especially interested to see how Hamilton, a free-agent signee, will mix in with the team.
Scioscia was asked before Friday's game whether he'll ask Hamilton -- who has never walked more than 64 times in a season -- to be less aggressive at the plate. And when he replied, he said that when you have a player as good as Hamilton, you pretty much have to let him do what he does.
"I think if you look at what you perceive as pluses or minuses for any player in baseball, the bottom line is going to be their body of work and what they do," said Scioscia. "His numbers are off the charts. I think he's in an elite group of hitters. Sometimes, there's going to be streaks involved.
"You wouldn't ask [former Angel] Vlad Guerrero to go out there and try to draw more walks. Some parts of a player, the same things that make them terrific occasionally make them vulnerable."
Hamilton, a career .304 hitter, is batting .500 (5-for-10) this spring, and the Angels are hoping to get Pujols on track in front of him. Pujols, a three-time National League Most Valuable Player Award winner, has played in just one spring game due to offseason surgery on his right knee and should be back in the mix Saturday.
"When you have Albert and Josh, it gives you an incredible middle that is hopefully going to give you a deep offensive look," said Scioscia. "I think [Josh is] going to fit right in with the way these guys run the bases, with the way these guys put themselves in scoring position. That's just part of our team."
