Some dogs have jobs, too.
Two canines who spend their work days sniffing through cargo for illegal drugs and food at John. F Kennedy International Airport paid a special visit to students at PS 163, who've spent the last month studying why service dogs are man's best friend.
Trained handlers from U.S. Customs led the animals through mock inspection drills to show kindergarten, first and second graders at the Bath Beach school on Bay 14th Street how the animals help secure one of the world's busiest airports.
Terry, a sleek Belgian Malinois, scurried across a stage strewn with luggage to the one suitcase filled with narcotics-scented towels. Then Jackson — a nosy black lab trained to search for smuggled food and plants — delighted students by smelling his way to the one package in a heap of boxes that contained tainted grub.
PS 163 teacher Hope Stogel said the demonstration proved that dogs do more than bark and play.
"The students got an appreciation for how dogs are used other than as pets," said Stogel, a speech pathologist who organized the event. "The kids loved it — they were surprised how quickly the dogs could find the [suspicious items]."Reach reporter Daniel Bush at email@example.com or by calling (718) 260-8310. Follow him at twitter.co

Methven results close to target
- Group NPAT result down 17.5% before impairment (market guidance previously indicated NPAT would drop 15-20%)
- Group NPAT down 22.2% from $10.1m to $7.8m after impairment
- Net Debt down 35.0% from $26.8m to $17.4m comfortably within guidance of 30-35% reduction target
- Group Operating Revenue down 5.5% from $137.3m to $129.8m
- EBITDA down 15.6% from $19.8m to $16.7m
- Fully imputed final dividend of 5.5 cps to be paid on 30 June 2010; FY dividend 11.00 cps, down from 11.75 cps prior
- Methven New Zealand domestic sales up 3.8% from $37.0m to $38.4m; growth in market share despite a 0.6% decline in combined new build and renovations; EBITDA down 5.0% from $10.7 m to $10.1m Methven Australia sales up 7.1% from A$34.1m to A$36.6m; EBITDA up 88.9% from A$1.8m to A$3.3m (NZ$4.2m)
- Methven UK sales down 14.0% from £21.7m to £18.7m; EBITDA down 44.5% from £3.0m to £1.7m (NZ$3.9m) as anticipated
- Encouraging start to hotel sector sales
Methven Group weathered the fallout from the global economic crisis with a design-led product differentiation, innovation and market diversification strategy to deliver a credible 2009-10 result that was close to estimates provided to the market at the half year.
Group NPAT for the year to 31 March 2010 was 17.5% lower at $8.3 million compared with the prior year's $10.1 million and was within Half Year guidance of a 15-20% drop in profitability. This was prior to the one off UK intangible asset impairment of $481,000. Group NPAT after impairment was down 22.2% from $10.1 million to $7.8 million.
Pleasingly, Net Debt was reduced by a solid 35.0% from $26.8 million to $17.4 million, well within Half Year guidance of 30-35%.
"These results demonstrated earnings resilience, wide brand appeal across geographies and abilities to create new market niches for our premium, proprietary technologies and products with their distinct benefits and experiences," Chairman Phil Lough said.
Impressive growth in Australian tapware sales and the continued robustness of the domestic operation were vital in generating the hard earned $7.8 million Group profit while also softening the impact of depressed UK sales which were as expected, and the loss of Wickes as a major customer.
"The $481,000 impairment represents our current view of the outlook for the UK customer base we acquired," Mr Lough said.
Group Operating Revenue for the full year was down 5.5% to $129.8 million from $137.3 million the prior year and Group EBITDA fell 15.6% from $19.8 million to $16.7 million.
"Methven responded to the realities of the trading environment with tight cost management across the business, better stock control, restructuring the UK operation following the loss of Wickes, recruiting capability to drive hotel sales and progressing new market development strategies," he said.
The Group ended the financial year with strong cash flows, aided by the liquidation of surplus UK inventories, resulting in a substantially reduced Net Debt which fell 35.0% to $17.4 million. Methven also successfully renewed its debt facilities for a further three years. There will be no change to covenants.
Mr Lough said Directors were comfortable with the ability of the business to generate earnings growth, the current health of the balance sheet and low level of borrowings and have recommended a fully imputed final dividend of 5.5 cps to be paid on 30 June 2010. This is the same as the prior year final dividend. Coupled with the 5.5 cps December 2009 interim dividend, the total dividend for 2009-10 is 11.00 cps, marginally down on the prior full year of 11.75 cps.
Group CEO Rick Fala said that a highlight of the year was achieving promising sales from a new initiative targeting the hotel sector. Methven has a compelling proposition to deliver guests a luxurious shower experience from a simple retrofit of bathrooms with Satinjet showerware and new Jemflo pressure and temperature balancing technology which it has the exclusive right to use and option to buy outright.
"Improved guest satisfaction, combined with potential water and energy savings, have strong appeal to hoteliers," Mr Fala said. "We expect the hotel sector to be the major growth market for Methven in the medium term as a result of our unique patented technology package, tailored to the hotel bathroom space."
The company has retrofitted around 13,000 rooms with Satinjet in Asia and Australia. Jemflo technology has already been installed in 60,000 rooms. The largest 300 hotel chains worldwide account for 7.3 million rooms.
Looking to 2010-11, Mr Fala said Methven was targeting a solid lift in year on year Group sales and profitability, but remained alert to the continued uncertainties from the stop/start economic recovery in key markets.
Australia would continue to be the dynamo of growth despite a more subdued economy with interest rate hikes and an end to the current package of government incentives, he said. "We will be well positioned across the market with a competitive and complete offering. We expect to make good headway increasing sales of our tapware with growth continuing in the hotel sector."
The New Zealand economy was expected to remain fragile and Methven would target modest top line growth and margin improvements as it further consolidated domestic market leadership and brand loyalty with the continued release of product innovations and enhancements, coupled with superior service and support.
Mr Fala said the UK and wider European economic outlook remained uncertain and Methven expected performance to be weaker due to the loss of the Wickes account. "We have undertaken a significant downsizing of Methven UK and are investing in repositioning the operation to support growth areas, including hotels and higher margin products, specifically Methven branded bathroomware which will be introduced this year."
Securing credible distributors to market Methven ranges in new markets beyond the UK and Australasia was another key strategy to extend market and brand reach.
"We have a compelling shower and tapware proposition that has international appeal and believe that finding distribution partners is an effective model to achieve a presence in new and emerging markets," he said.
Increased capital expenditure will be invested in R&D to accelerate development and commercialisation of proprietary products and technologies to extend the company's platform and fuel continuous growth. There was also a requirement to upgrade the ageing business information system in New Zealand.
"Our focus is on being the world leading showerware brand and we will seek to create new categories and experiences like Shower Infusions," Mr Fala said. "The Shower Infusions captured international attention, receiving a coveted 2010 Red Dot Award, as among the "best of the best" in design and innovation in the world at this year's competition.
"The global financial crisis has served to reinforce the need for us to focus on selling proprietary products which generate premium margins," Mr Fala said. "Methven branded ranges have proven to be consistently robust earners, able to withstand economic and market downturns."

Republican Guard Ordering to Leave
CAIRO (AP) — After deadly street battles in Cairo, Egypt's Republican Guard is ordering both opponents and supporters of President Mohammed Morsi to clear out of the area around the presidential palace. Fighting there overnight left five people dead and more than 600 wounded. Opposition activists had called for another demonstration outside the palace later today. They have been demanding Morsi shelve a draft constitution adopted by his Islamist allies and rescind decrees giving him sweeping powers.

Christine and Frank shine as they share special day with us
Chelsea Football Club have been making poor headlines recently but one of its good guys and former long-serving players Frank Lampard, and our own Christine Bleakley, have made the right headlines with their glamorous wedding in London.
Christine wore a gorgeous wedding-gown, they had an A-list of celebrities as guests, and they allowed the media to take a large number of stunning pictures.
The wedding, like Christine's dress, was a fairy tale. She has been one of our most down-to earth celebrities, and she has reacted gracefully to all criticism, including unfair comments about her Northern Ireland accent.
Here's wishing Mr and Mrs Lampard every health and happiness for the future, from all of us.

Why Not Try Freedom?
May 17, 2016
They said they could bring "freedom from want".
Instead they made the Depression Great—
Made it last a generation.
They said it's insurance. You're free to pay in—
But you'll never get that money back out.
No, you can't opt out.
They said access to college and health care for all—
If they'd done it to food, we'd have nothing to eat.
You think it's bad now, just wait till it's free!

Four for Texas
It's easy to take for granted men like Ronnie Dawson, Junior Brown, Joe Ely, and Butch Hancock. It has always seemed as though these four Texas-born musicians--best-known as singer-songwriters, revered as legends, admired for clinging to tradition--have been around forever and would never disappear from the landscape. Dawson's been playing since the 1950s; Brown sounds like he's sharing a stage with Ernest Tubb; and you can date Hancock and Ely's partnership back to their days in Lubbock, when they were roaming the flatland more a legend than a band.
But there is a reason why expatriated Texans in New York City gather in a stinkhole bar called the Village Idiot to sing along with old country records till 6 a.m.: They do not take this music for granted. They miss it dearly, needing their weekly transfusion of Hank and George and Willie to make life in the bloodless Big City more tolerable. They aren't lucky enough to have a Sons of Hermann Hall to retreat to each weekend, no hardwood-floor-and-ceiling fraternal hall throughout which the sounds of Texas music reverberate like faded, living echoes.
This weekend the Sons will host a "Texas Music Celebration" that lives up to its name--legends and heroes and would-be heirs taking the stage for three nights, rockabilly hepcats and country traditionalists who embody the myth as much as the music. Junior Brown, whose cult status is threatened by the emergence of the hilarious "Highway Patrol" as a hit vidclip on country-music TV, has been likened to Ernest Tubb; but the guit-steel slinger is a bona fide Texas original--a deep-voiced traditionalist who loves Hawaiian guitar and Hendrix as much as the old Texas Troubadour. And nobody captures the desolation of a West Texas existence as well as Butch Hancock--except for maybe Joe Ely, whose wind-swept voice and dusty-dry persona made Hancock's words come to life at a time when "country" was another word for lite rock.
Ronnie Dawson (pictured above), as has been written many times in these pages, is more than legend because that word implies his best work lies in the past; Dawson's an honest-to-Gawd hero, a rocker in his 50s who's more vibrant now than when he was a younger man gracing the stage of the Big D Jamboree. He's the anti-Jerry Lee, a genuinely kind man whose voice is worn with experience--not age, not bitterness, but the experience of a man who discovered fame when he was ready for it.
Dawson and High Noon, with the Derailers, perform July 20 at the Sons of Hermann Hall, followed by Brown and Donny Ray Ford on July 21. Hancock and Health and Happiness Show (featuring Hancock and ex-Television guitarist Richard Lloyd) perform at the Sons July 22. Joe Ely performs July 21 at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth.

FRUITS OF WORSHIP: PRACTICAL RELIGION IN BENGAL By Ralph W. Nicholas, Chronicle, Rs 475
There are myriad ways in which religion permeates a culture. Myths, which form the core of any religion, are invested with meanings by a particular culture which in turn is defined by them. At the synchronic level, these meanings constitute a system of signs shared by the members of a community, enacted in its rituals and reflected in its moral codes. This consensual allegiance to the system generates community feeling which holds a community together.
In a composite culture like Hinduism, the system works in a far more intricate manner than in a unitary culture based on, say Islam or Christianity. Ralph W. Nicholas quotes from Morals and Merit: The concern about the orthodoxy of their fellow-mens beliefs shown at times by the adherents of such religions as Christianity or Islam, is foreign to Hindus. No one thinks of those professing different beliefs as heretics
Non-rigidity of faith is just one among the several factors that have made Hinduism what it is today. Identification of these factors is one of the tasks Nicholas takes upon himself in his book.
Nicholas dwells on Hindu myths, especially in deltaic West Bengal. The essays were written between 1965-81. Predictably enough, things have changed a lot since then. Films and teleserials have intervened in the modes of propagation of myths, superceding older modes like yatras or even printed texts. The cable network has ensured that local deities cross the local boundaries and gain pan-Indian status. The eight essays mark a distinct phase of the complex historical development of the practical religion in rural Bengal and, in some ways, anticipate its future shape.
As for his approach to his subject, Nicholas clearly states his appreciation both for the symbolic anthropology of Max Weber and the structural method of Claude Levi-Strauss. In his essays, he discreetly balances these two approaches.
In the first essay, Nicholas examines the Hindu religious year in Bengal. In the second, Nicholas evaluates the contribution of Vaishnava and Islamic tradition to the social organization of the Bengali Hindu community, going on to discuss the resemblance of a Vishnu temple with the tulasi manch in the third.
In the next chapter, Nicholas discusses the community worship of village-goddesses like Durga and Shitala on the basis of his field work in Kelomal village. The fifth chapter is devoted to goddess Chandi, who figured in Markandeya Purana in the 3rd century AD and then again in another text devoted to her. Nicholas puts this text in a sociological context, stressing the intrinsic homology between the goddess and her other subordinate manifestations which, he thinks, metaphorically embodies the relationship between the king and his subjects.
The last three essays of the book are on Shitala. Nicholas makes an interesting observation that the acquirement of scientific knowledge about small pox did not prevent Bengalis from worshipping Shitala an act which enhanced social cohesiveness. In the last chapter, Nicholas demonstrates how the mass market is bringing about a standardization of the Shitala myths. He also provides us translations of two Shitalamangal palas one by Kavi Jagannath and the other by Manikram Ganguli in this volume.


text: I am using the stock headset that came with my Hero, which has been working fine for a number of months for listening to music. However, just in the last two days the buttons (pause, fwd, rwd) have stopped working so I am unable to pause tracks, skip a song etc, unless I use the controls on the phone itself. Just using the stock music player as always? Anyone had this problem? Could be faulty headset? Thanks

This structure or entity is known in the Original Script as Umbrella Japan Laboratory. However, it appears under the name, "Umbrella Japan Research Center" in English localizations.
For the Anderson equivalent, see Umbrella Corporation Headquarters.
The Umbrella Japan Laboratory was, at least to the public, a pharmaceutical development laboratory maintained by the Umbrella Corporation subsidiary "Umbrella Pharmaceuticals". Completed in 1987, the center remained open long after many of Umbrella's other facilities, finally closing in March 2004 due to the corporation's bankruptcy.[1]

BMW design boss Adrian van Hooydonk says the radical roadster concept revealed at the Geneva motor show is not a Z2, but it does preview design elements that will soon be incorporated into future sports models from the German manufacturer.
Dubbed the Vision ConnectedDrive, the concept was promoted at Geneva as a showcase for BMW's next generation of intelligent networking systems. But the styling of the car is also important.
"We love doing sporty, sexy cars at BMW so I think that is what you see here," van Hooydonk told Drive moments after the car had been presented at Geneva. "Roadsters are part of our program anyway so we have every chance to use some of the elements you see here in production."
Media speculation the Vision ConnectedDrive previewed a sub-Z4 roadster dubbed Z2 was refuted by both Van Hooydonk and BMW boss Norbert Reithofer, the latter going off-script to specifically refer to the reports in his on-stage presentation.
However, that doesn't mean it couldn't be the basis of a model with another name such as a derivative of the new 'i' series, and van Hooydonk was happy to admit his desire to add another sports car to the BMW range.
"I would always like to do a sporty, two-seater car. At the moment we are very happy with how the Z4 is doing. Since its launch it is leading the segment so we are very happy with that. Time will tell what else we can do."
Van Hooydonk said the concept featured specific styling and design elements that pointed to future production intent.
"In the exterior you see sharp lines, a shark nose in the front-end and a very dynamic stance and those are things we are serious about in all of our vehicles
"In the interior what you see is a strong focus on driver orientation. There is a lightness in the whole interior design, those are elements we are serious about."
BMW is also serious about the new generation of electronic and digital technology incorporated into Vision ConnectedDrive that showcases safety, infotainment and comfort innovations. These include a 3-D head-up display, fibre-optic lighting and an 'Emotional Browser' that can capture and filter information about the environment through with the vehicle is travelling.
"Connectivity is something that is intangible or invisible and it is a modern technology and we felt it would be interesting to put it in a very traditional vehicle concept," van Hooydonk explained. "A two-seater roadster is probably the oldest vegicle concept we know at BMW, and it's a kind of car that really suits the brand.
"So with that we are saying this connectivity is something that really suits the brand, it is not unnatural. We are going to make sure it becomes a natural part of your driving experience, and of course a roadster is a very emotional type of car. That was our job, to make this connectivity look sexy and desirable."

Got Wood?We are always on the lookout for local trees that have been felled by storms or recently cut down. Wood is heavy and hard to handle, so you will understand if we are picky about what we think we can use. We will not cut the tree down, but if it is on the ground, and you would like us to take a look, send us an email. We try to return a finished turning to the owner of the tree if we are able to successfully turn a reasonable number of pieces. Preferred species include walnut, maple, cherry, and any kind of burl.

Womens Rights?
And then there is Pakistan.
These people are demoniacs.
it is a sick sick world where stuff like that is allowed to happen. i almost think it would be GOOD to see a compleat reversal of rolls in countries like that. make the women dominant let them deform, disfigure, mutilate and kill the men for what ever reason they want. may God hlep any one who is not sickened and outraged by such acts
It's hard to believe that this is the 21st century, with such barbarism being done to women who just want to have the right to choose who they marry. I thank God I was born in a reasonably sane and civilized country.
Amen to that!

WHAT IT MEANS: Clearly, Deron Williams took this whole "Linsanity" thing personally.
Williams was torched by Jeremy Lin on Feb. 4 for 25 points and seven assists, in the Harvard grad's first opportunity to play major minutes. Lin went on to lead the Knicks to seven wins in their next eight games.
On Monday, Williams returned the favor. The New Jersey point guard went off for 38 points on 10-for-22 shooting. He hit a career-high eight 3-pointers to lift the Nets to their 10th win of the season.
Lin finished with 21 points on 7-for-18 shooting. He had nine assists and three turnovers. The Knicks (16-17) lost for the second time in 10 games since Lin began playing significant minutes.
THE BAD: You can't blame Carmelo Anthony for this loss. The Knicks forward returned for the first time in seven games but didn't ruin the Knicks' flow, as many had predicted he would. He had 11 points and six assists. He made four of 11 shots.
The Knicks really struggled guarding the perimeter (they missed Iman Shumpert, who was out with a left knee injury). The Nets torched the Knicks from beyond the arc, hitting 15 of their 31 attempts. They were led by Williams, who hit eight of 14 3-point attempts. The Nets shot just 39 percent from the floor, so the outside shooting was the difference.
FOUL TROUBLE: Tyson Chandler picked up his fourth foul with 6:36 to play in the third in a skirmish with Kris Humphries. Chandler and Humphries got into it again midway through the fourth, and Chandler picked up a technical, relegating him to the bench once again.
In an unrelated note, Garden fans got on Humphries again, booing him each time he touched the ball. Humphries was briefly married to reality star Kim Kardashian.
THE GOOD: Baron Davis made his season debut for the Knicks. He finished with three points and an assist in 10 minutes. He should help the team with depth at point guard, which has been an issue all season.
Landry Fields had 10 points (5-for-10) and 11 rebounds. Amare Stoudemire had 17 but just four rebounds.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Knicks take on the Atlanta Hawks (19-13) in New York on Wednesday, the first game of a back-to-back that concludes in Miami on Thursday to close out the first half of the season.

the technique from Split Coaststampers. For the picture I have used one of my oil paintings that I did a while back. I had already taken a photo of it and had it stored on my computer so I resized in word and then printed off onto heavy GSM cardstock. You can see the original here. I found that I still needed to glue the cardstock to cardboard though as I found that the glossy accents made the tiles buckle.

You know I'm a fan of your work, but honestly, is there anything you can't do...my goodness, what a wonderful painting and the tiles you made are so very special. How ever did you get them so evenly spaced? I've made the tiles using thick embossing powder, which does work, but tends to crack....for vintage that's great, but I didn't want cracking. I think I shall make a card using one of my husband's paintings...Yet another thing on my list for after vacation....hmmmmm maybe I should just stay home! LOL!ReplyDelete
WOW! This is amazing as is the original! Such talent!ReplyDelete

ALEX COHEN, host:
Earlier this week, another candidate officially threw his hat into the ring known as Election 2008.
(Soundbite of radio show)
EL CUCUY (Radio Show Host): Senor, senores, Bill Richardson.
COHEN: Instead of making the announcement on his home turf of New Mexico, Democrat Governor Bill Richardson came here to L.A., where he made an appearance on a popular morning radio show.
(Soundbite of applause)
Governor BILL RICHARDSON (Democrat, New Mexico): Mucha gracias.
EL CUCUY: (Spanish spoken)
Gov. RICHARDSON: (Spanish spoken)
COHEN: For those who don't habla espanol, that's Richardson telling a shock jock named El Cucuy it's with great pride that I announce my candidacy for the president of the United States on your program.
Gov. RICHARDSON: (Spanish spoken)
EL CUCUY: (Spanish spoken)
COHEN: There's good reason why Richardson declared his candidacy on El Cucuy's show. The syndicated program has about three million listeners, and those listeners are exactly the kind of folks Bill Richardson needs to connect with.
Gov. RICHARDSON: My mission is to reach Latino voters, to let them know that I'm Latino and that I'm a candidate with their roots because the name Richardson is not conducive to that, and I'm a candidate that is trying to get known around the country.
COHEN: His real surname is Richardson-Lopez. His mother is Mexican. But the candidate thinks that's too much of a mouthful.
Gov. RICHARDSON: You don't want to overdo it.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Gov. RICHARDSON: In fact, at one point I thought I was going to be, when I running in New Mexico, Bill Richardson-Lopez. But then that couldn't fit on a bumper sticker, so I said, you know, that's too gimmicky. They'll know me. They can see me.
COHEN: Maybe everyone does know him in New Mexico, but nationwide it's a very different story. A recent poll commissioned by the Latino Policy Coalition found only a quarter of Latino surveyed knew which ethnic group Bill Richardson belongs to. And when Hispanic Democrats were asked who they were currently planning to vote for, Richardson placed third.
Mr. ANTONIO GONZALEZ (President, Southwest Voter Registration Education Project): It was surprising to us.
COHEN: Antonio Gonzalez is president of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project.
Mr. GONZALEZ: Because we thought, well, we know Barack is doing good amongst blacks, Hillary is doing good amongst women. Why isn't Richardson doing good amongst Hispanics? Because he should be number one.
COHEN: Gonzalez notes that for much of his career, Bill Richardson has catered to a more mainstream demographic. And that's how he's been able to land gigs in Congress, as Bill Clinton's ambassador to the U.N., and his current stint as governor. It's only now, Gonzalez says, that Richardson has truly turned his attention to Latino voters.
Mr. GONZALEZ: So really, for him, it's a question of can he effectively and efficiently get that word out to people in a way that doesn't diminish his mainstream appeal to non-Hispanic voters? And this is always the balancing act.
COHEN: To court the Latino vote, Richardson has a number of things working in his favor. He grew up in Mexico City, and he speaks Spanish fluently.
Unidentified Woman: (Spanish spoken)
Gov. RICHARDSON: (Spanish spoken)
COHEN: That fluency has earned him a fair amount of airtime in the Spanish-language media. But he's not the only candidate Univision and Telemundo are talking about.
Mr. ADAM SEGAL (Johns Hopkins University): The Hispanic media really knows Hillary Clinton very well.
COHEN: Adam Segal is founder of the Hispanic Voter Project at Johns Hopkins University. He says the Clinton name has a lot of clout among Hispanics.
Mr. SEGAL: She has been enlisting a growing list of supporters within the Hispanic community. And you know, the Hispanic media certainly reports on every one of those steps and endorsements.
COHEN: But it's early in the election season, and even if Bill Richardson can just get the word out that he is Latino, that could be enough to turn things in his favor. Gabriel Escobar of the Pew Hispanic Center says they have surveyed voters and asked: would you vote for a Latino candidate over a non-Latino candidate who is more qualified?
Mr. GABRIEL ESCOBAR (Pew Hispanic Center): Which is a standard question that is asked in surveys, and almost six in 10 say yes.
COHEN: Will that translate into actual votes? Tough to say. And, Escobar notes, the Latino vote may not be big enough to get Richardson into the White House.
Mr. ESCOBAR: In the last election, it was about 8.6 percent. It is a very small percentage of the total electorate in the United States.
COHEN: But it's a quickly growing demographic. And Adam Segal of the Hispanic Voter Project notes that Latino voters are heavily concentrated in certain states.
Mr. SEGAL: In some key primaries, in the Democratic primaries such as in California and in Nevada and elsewhere, he certainly has a chance to help capture a larger share of the vote as a result of having been seen as a favorite of the Hispanic community.
COHEN: So if you live in a state with a large Latino population, don't be too surprised if Bill Richardson shows up at the local Spanish-language radio show near you soon.
Unidentified People: (Spanish spoken) - Richardson, Richardson, ra, ra, ra!

We are attending a few summer concerts this summer at the VWA in Irvine and looking for a few dining options. We are subscribers to the Hollywood Bowl but this will be our first time to VWA for a pops concert. Is there anything in OC that might be comparable to either Joans on 3rd, or Jullienne in terms of prepared dinner boxes ? With the recent closing of Bristol Farms in MV and the frogs breathe cheese store in Orange, any one stop shops where I can create my own picnic basket ? I've heard good things about Lucca Cafe in Irvine but looking for some other options. I know we will have both box seating or regular seats for a few shows, but where are the preferred picnicing areas ? Any other tips to make this a
Hollywood Bowl like experience ? Thanks so much !

God bless CCCI. They made God use them for such miracle in my life. I developed rare cranial tumor for 8 years without intervention from my country Ghana in West Africa, but CCCI and Dr. Robinson and his team did the massive surgery in Atlanta in 2008. Am currently in medical school, soon to become a Physician Assistant next year. I will forever be grateful to all who contributed for this success.
I was an American missionary in eastern Mongolia when my Mongolian wife gave birth to a baby girl with a cleft lip and a cleft palate, and, a few months later, in 2007, we discovered, a major heart defect. When some other organizations were unable to help us CCCI did. Even though they had never worked in Asia before as Pam put it, "God would not let me sleep till I agreed to help your baby." We were out of her region but well within her big heart.
Pam is a recruiter. She quickly had people in Phoenix, Arizona lined up to help us, and when some obstacles got in the way of arranging the transport, she even recruited me, since I lived in Asia. Like a symphony we all played our parts, the doctors, the nurses, the hospital support staff, the airlines, the embassy, we followed Pam's baton. She made sure everything went like clock work, and with the greatest of efficiency. Maximum funds go directly to the work and with most of her recruited help being voluntary that translates to a lot of children being helped.
I started working with CCCI in 2002 as a volunteer. I have traveled twice to Africa to participate with the work there-first in launching the Seeds of Hope orphanage, then in providing necessary oversight for the organization. I have also identified a possible site for a future hospital to be constructed near Turmi in the southwest of Ethiopia near the Sudan border. If built, this facility would service at least 10 nomadic tribes that essentially know no national boundaries and who currently have no medical care to speak of. We have been able to convince the mothers to give us the infants that would have been exposed to die because of religious beliefs. We then are able to adopt the otherwise healthy children out to willing parents. I've also participated here in getting children brought here to hospitals and surgeons for life-altering medical care. I've made arrangements for hospitalizations, surgeries, housing, transportation, doctors' visits, and sundry other items during their stays. On occasion, they have stayed in my home. Currently, I serve as Secretary on the Board of Directors. It is a great honor and a great privilege to work with CCCI-and one that I refuse to relinquish! These kids are now MY kids in a very real way.
CCCI saved the life of our (now) son, Mesfin, by providing him with needed open heart surgery twice. I am now working with them to help other children that need surgery. I'm also helping with an education project in Ethiopia with wonderful students, many of whom have medical issues that we are helping treat.

I had a rather bizarre experience this weekend. Bunch of relative strangers; we were all doing a training course together - went out for drinks after the first day of training. Few drinks down range and two or three of the, oh, about 10 people around the table, start talking about board games and D&D. It was just such a change from what I was used to. I can honestly say I don't recall anyone just bringing up gaming in a group of strangers like that.
So, yeah, I can see why they might call gaming - mainstream.
With the huge adoption rates for smartphone and the growth in phone gaming, acceptance for gaming in general should rise. Kind of hard to look down your nose at RPGs when it is buried in your phone trying to find that new Pokemon or launch your counter strike.
Me too. My boss at work asked if I'd run a lunch game. So I did. It was very surreal at first. Time constraints have stopped me but we still have a gaming lunch. And folks have all but begged me to start up the campaign.
Edit: that sounds so very self serving and boastful. Bleh.
For S&G's, I took a look at 5e's sales ranks on Amazon. HOLY CRAP. The 5e PHB is still in the top 100 of all books on Amazon. WOW. I mean, this is a THREE YEAR OLD book. Pretty much nothing in the top 100 is that old. I mean there's some odds and sods, mostly perennial children's books like Dr. Seuss, but, good grief. They're licensed to print money.
Mearls has said, repeatedly, that 5E has outsold each other edition individually within the first year... it's no surprise it's still selling.
Smart phones haven't made gaming mainstream.
Comic movies have.
In what universe is the shame/guilty pleasure of clicking a button anonymously the same as saying to another human being, "you approach the throne while the hair on the back of your neck stands up, soft murmurs arise from the ground beneath your feet and a flinty voice announces 'come closer mortal'!"? Naw, not buying it.
It's not just super hero movies, it's a multitude of factors. Geeky stuff has been more and more cool (or at least less socially unacceptable) over the last 20 years. I think Buffy might have kicked it off, and we had the massive Lord of the Rings movies making Orcs and Wizards OK (it's easy to forget now how huge these movies were), more recently Game of Thrones being the biggest TV show, etc. The parallel rise of video gaming (widening its demographic), plays a part, too, as of course does the Internet, which allows awareness of geeky things to spread, and in a positive way (not the old "ban it, they're trying to summon demons" publicity from the 80s). Or look at MMORPGs, taking concepts like hit points from pen-and-paper games, but then providing a new generation of players for tabletop RPGs, and influencing, tabletop design. Plus you've got the explosion in creativity and production values in board games, which has been steadily building on the success of Eurogame designs from the 90s.
I'd say that superhero movies have benefited from all that as much as tabletop games have, although it reaches a point where everything feeds everything else.
Yeah, these things could all be synonyms of something else. And then it all hits critical mass and reinforces itself.

As a Communications Advisor with The Riecken Community LIbraries, I see everyday how the entire organization works with limited resources to truly bring change to communities in poor, generally remote, regions of Honduras and Guatemala. Access to information - through books, dynamic programs, training and community gatherings - is what each Riecken Community Library is about. Anyone considering donating to their work should be pleased to learn that the Riecken Community Library model is a sustainable one - requiring partnership between the community, its municipality and the Riecken Foundation. The deep commitment of local staff and volunteers is truly amazing to behold.
We all are witness of well-meaning efforts resulting in bureaucracies eating away available funds, consultants who produce nothing more than useless reports, recipients who do not appreciate or use effectively what they get. The Riecken libraries and community centers in Guatemala and Honduras are exactly the opposite of this scenario. Available funds are used wisely and well. The results are formidable. Recipients are enthusiastic with the help they receive, especially the children. These children are growing up with something all children in underdeveloped countries of the world should have: an opportunity to improve themselves and to have the tools to get out of the vicious circles of ignorance and poverty. And the people in the communities Riecken serves have a community center where they pursue productive and worthwhile activities that benefit everybody. The Riecken model is an example of how organizations should work. I have been a witness of their efforts and their successes. The Riecken Foundation deserves all the help it can get.

In early April the business manager for the rock band the Police shot off an e-mail message to William F. Baker, the president emeritus of the New York public television stations WNET and WLIW, with an offer: the band wanted to add one last show in New York City to what it billed as its last tour, and it would do it as a fund-raiser for public television.
The band's offer came at the right time. Executives at the two stations had been brainstorming ways to bring in younger viewers.
But not too young. It was public television, after all.
"We had a lot of discussions about how to get in touch with the boomer generation," said Neal Shapiro, the president and chief executive of Educational Broadcasting Corporation, the parent of WNET and WLIW.
So on June 14 the corporation will kick off a special one-day pledge drive, including interviews with Sting, the group's frontman, and archival footage of the band in concert. But instead of tote bags, umbrellas or CDs and DVDs as gifts in exchange for donations, viewers will have the chance to get tickets to the band's finale, on Aug. 7 at Madison Square Garden.
A $5,000 donation will get the V.I.P. treatment — dinner, a party, attendance at a sound check — while $150 will secure a pair of tickets.Continue reading the main story
More than 40 percent of New York's public television viewers are older than 65, according to Nielsen Media Research, so younger, in this context, means more 50-year-old viewers.
But the Police's fans seem to span the ages, and WNET and WLIW executives say they hope to bring in viewers as young as 35 from the coming fund-raiser.
"We wanted to embrace that kind of music and say there is a home for it here, and to add some veneer and context," said Mr. Shapiro, formerly president of NBC News, explaining that for the last few years public television has been searching for ways to incorporate classic rock — the music of the generation that came of age in the '60s — into its programming and fund-raising. During a past pledge drive, for example, a $150 donation garnered a DVD and CD of the Clash, and in 2005 WNET co-produced the Martin Scorsese documentary "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan," which had its United States broadcast premiere on the station.
Who knew the band liked "Masterpiece Theater"? "Our business manager and I were talking about the final show one day and how we could make it special," said Kathryn Schenker, Sting's longtime manager. "We talked about the environment, and then I think somehow, at that moment, public broadcasting came up."
Having been reared in England and grown up with the BBC, Sting and the band's guitarist, Andy Summers, both had an affinity for, in Ms. Schenker's words, "television that is untainted by commercialism."
"Sting doesn't watch much television, but when he sees BBC programs on public television he feels right at home," she said.
The Police began its first American tour in 1978 in New York City at the now-defunct club CBGB. The band split up in 1984, but its music has endured. When the group reunited in May 2007 for its 30th-anniversary tour, it sold $254.4 million in tickets worldwide, according to Pollstar's Concert Hotwire, a publication that tracks revenue from live concerts. Worldwide, the Police sold 2.2 million concert tickets last year, compared with 1.8 million for Justin Timberlake, the second-best-selling live act, and 1.3 million for Genesis, the third-best-selling.
The last show was supposed to be Aug. 5 at Jones Beach on Long Island. "That seemed like it would be anticlimactic," Ms. Schenker said. "We felt it was important to do something significant for one last show."
For public television, the result of the discussions with the Police is a soon-to-be-unveiled marketing plan named Public Television Rocks, the centerpiece of which is the partnership with the group. Other events focused on classic rock and aimed at keeping the 50-year-olds tuning in are being planned, Mr. Shapiro said.
"This is going to break the dam and get other projects rolling," he said. "If one of the advantages is that it can deepen the audience and bring in younger viewers, that's great."Continue reading the main story

It was a really great birthday. It was actually the first one I ever had that was all about me!
That was fun. It feels a little selfish, but I think I can live with that!
H gave me presents and a card (most special to me, the words, the thoughts), first thing in the morning.
Then we took the train into NYC, walk around a lot, ate where I wanted to, laughed, talked, created new memories.
It was especially nice because the two days before were filled with lots and I mean lots of honest communication.
It wouldn't have felt anywhere near as special without that.
Here's to new beginnings.
Peace everyone!

The 'Two and a Half Men' Ashton Kutcher Scorecard: Week Five
S9E5: The season may have started on an impressive high note considering the unpredictable talents of Mr. Kutcher, but after last week's episode, we're losing our faith. Gone was the newfound energy, the character twists that were turning Two and a Half Men into a brand new show. Instead, we got same old same old with Walden devolving into a wooden knock-off of Charlie Harper.
Can Ashton redeem himself? Can the comedic actor find a consistent groove? There's only one way to find out: The scorecard! Here's the breakdown:
One Charlie Sheen Head (1 – 10 Points): Ashton, you were in this episode.
Two Charlie Sheen Heads (11 – 20 Points): Ashton, you landed a few jokes, but we can't stop thinking about good ol' Charlie.
Three Charlie Sheen Heads (21 – 30 Points): Ashton, you earned tonight's laugh track. Solid.
Four Charlie Sheen Heads (31 – 40 Points): Ashton, we're impressed. You've surpassed Sheen-level kookiness.
Five Charlie Sheen Heads (41 – 50 Points): Ashton, you're scaring us with classic levels of comedy. Charlie who?
That's that, now on with the third round of the Ashton Kutcher Two and a Half Men scorecard!
"A Giant Cat Holding Churro"
1. "This is not historically accurate. Medieval bakers did not dress like Chef Boyardee"
Points: 2
Two and a Half Men may have a new star front and center in its ads, but that doesn't mean Ashton's going to be in the spotlight of every episode. This time around, he was a supporting character through and through, alley-ooping jokes to Alan who finds himself struggling to make his relationship with Lyndsey work. After a sexless night in, Alan joins Walden, who's spending his evening learning to drink (aka sniffing whiskey). The two stumble upon a soft core porn that stars a vaguely familiar lady named Cinnamon. Yup, it's Lyndsey—and while Alan does his freak out thing, Walden casually heads upstairs to blow off some steam.
Personally, I like Ashton/Walden when he's in full clown mode, so consider me underwhelmed by more of the deadpan, lovestruck act. Let's hope Walden gets back with Bridget sooner than later—maybe he'll come alive.
2. "I already know how to have sex. How do you make buttermilk biscuits? That's the real mystery."
Points: 5
For being a self-made billionaire, Walden really has no attention span for anyone or anything. One minute he'll be talking relationships with Alan, the next he'll be blurting out new life goals he conjured up after watching Skinemax movies. For me, Two and a Half Men suffers from its Alan-centric episodes (I can only take too much whining and self-depricating jabs), so Walden's odd foray into cooking, at the least, mellowed the scene out.
Maybe deadpan Walden does serve a purpose, but if they're going to keep that side of the character around, the show should pair them up more often. It's like the episodes have to be about one character or another. Pair them up!
3. "Berta is making my head into a dream catcher!"
Points: 5
The prayer I had at the beginning of the episode is later answered in an obvious, but admittedly enjoyable fashion. Alan returns from spilling his darkest secrets to Lyndsey to find Walden and Berta in outer space, thanks to the redheaded maid's "secret brownie recipe." I have a special place in my heart for Dude, Where's My Car? and watching Ashton flex his pot humor muscles tickled my funny bone. The funniest joke of the episode was just watching Walden repeat the word "Snapple" over and over and over again. Simple, maybe a little cheap, but very funny.
4. "Alan, have a brownie! They're mmm mmm good."
Points: 7
OK, this is the Ashton I permanently want on the show. Walden scarfs down a few more pot brownies and comes up with an ingenious idea to make Alan happy: Throw a party with a Malibu College volleyball team! The oddest part is that Ashton plays this version of the character like a younger, hipper version of Jeff Bridges' The Dude from The Big Lebowski. Maybe that's sacrilege, but walking around with big sunglasses, free flowing shirts and a half-awake swagger, I couldn't help be reminded of the end all be all of stoner characters. He's just cool. Plus, he convinces six gorgeous co-eds to cover Alan with whipped cream, so he's good friend too.
5. "Are you having some sort of party in there?" "No, it's just a bunch of stoned girls dancing."
Points: 4
The episode ends with Lyndsey arriving at Walden's doorstep, and the party animal being just aware enough to conceal Alan by throwing him off the edge of the deck. Ashton carries this episode with physical comedy, an aspect of the show has really worked in his favor in the past. Loose the mumbling, introvert Walden—I like the one that robot walks back and forth while high out of his mind, while still coming off as the most charming guy in the room.
Walden manages to fend off Lyndsey for another day, but Alan, in true Alan fashion, screws it all up. Well, at least Walden probably got some action.
Total Points: 23 – Three Charlie Sheen Heads!
OK, Ashton. You have me back for a little while longer. While the blank stares and mumbling one-liners continue to pop up, a lively Walden appeared on tonight's episode and helped realize Ashton's full potential on Men. The show is strongest when Alan and Walden are paired together—and tonight was the evidence.
