District 1 Councilwoman Thelda Williams said it may be too late to dress up a north Phoenix pedestrian bridge, but she asked the city's art office for ideas on turning the bridge artistic.
An unofficial engineer's report revealed last week that the bridge, which will span Interstate 17 north of Jomax Road, can't hold much weight.
The engineer's findings counter plans by Williams, who would like a pedestrian bridge, which is designed like other Phoenix bridges. Critics of the bridge, which is scheduled to be installed in June, complain the structure is too simple.
Time is an issue because the Arizona Department of Transportation officials say trusses will be installed in early June.
Williams is OK with ADOT's plan because she believes art could be applied to the bridge after it is set in place. She understands the bridge is able to withstand "very light material" such as a coat of paint or lights, she said.
Williams does not know when the Office of Arts and Culture will forward ideas.
ADOT officials say they plan to install the bridge, which is 900 feet long, over two Fridays. A crew is scheduled to start setting trusses in place from 11:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. June 1 and June 8.
Traffic on Interstate 17 will detour on Loop 303, Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road.
"We're concentrating on making drivers aware that there will be a northbound closure of I-17 starting June 1 and a southbound closure on June 8," said Doug Nintzel, ADOT spokesman.
Work on the $1.8 million pedestrian bridge started in August and is part of the overall project to widen I-17.
The plans for the freeway and the bridge were viewed by Phoenix in 2010.
ADOT officials said they are using weathered steel on the main span and as it ages the steel turns rust-like in color.
An outcry about the bridge erupted at the Deer Valley Village Planning Committee meeting in April.
Village member Richard Robinson, called the bridge "an eyesore" because it failed to align with other Phoenix bridges, which reflect an artistic culture that is part of Phoenix's image.
Williams had asked Shane Silsby, deputy director of the Phoenix Street Transportation Department, to look into how much weight the bridge is able to hold.
Work proceeds on approaches to a pedestrian bridge that will span I-17 north of Jomax Road.

LINCOLN — Vermont State Police "followed the Subway" to a Bristol resident they have charged with burglary in connection with an Aug. 1 break-in at the Lincoln General Store.
Police on Monday cited Josh Mayo, 21, for burglary for allegedly breaking into the Lincoln store through a side window. Once inside, authorities allege he stole around $305 in cash and $330 in cigarettes.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County resident Jeanne Montross is organizing an effort to acquire the movie inventory from Waterfront Video's Middlebury store.
Waterfront Video recently announced it was closing its Middlebury store. Managers had announced a movie sale to the general public during the month of May, but Montross — with others — hopes to pull off a bulk purchase of the store's more than 16,000 titles and eventually make them available for loan to the community.

Night out takes twisted turn - 48 Comments
Alleged Satan worshipper accused of harassing woman he met at bar
It's always a roll of the dice when you meet someone at a bar — and for one city woman, it turned into a nightmare.
The twisted tale began Jan. 19 — a Saturday night — at a Faneuil Hall nightspot.
The 25-year-old fitness instructor was with her friends at Mija Cantina & Tequila Bar when alleged Satan worshipper Christopher Cori, 21, began chatting her up.
Sad thing is Faneuil Hall bars are JAMMED with guys like this on weekends. I can certainly see why some women turn.
booking sheet says he works in hotel management ! WTF are you kidding me....ring,ring, room service can you send up some food ,just keep satan in the Kitchen. wow you must have some pround parents you loser...
You must have some proud parents? Are you serious. This guy is mentally unstable. How can you blame his parents for his mental state? Get a clue. He's at a facility in Bridgewater for a reason. DON'T BLAME HIS PARENTS!!!
I heard he had jeffrey dahmer as a wing man.
I have instructed my daughter if she runs into a psycho like this we will not go to the police. We will just make sure they never find the body. This is guy I'd a waste of skin.
Women beware. He might be an extreme case but there are many smooth talking nut jobs out there.
Why not give this nut job your phone number? Nice move there lady
You definitely were desperate by giving this tard your phone # , but at least you had the common sense to seek law enforcement..good job trusting your gut feeling and observation of this dirtbag...Present right now he is prolly in four point restraints, fixing to get a thorazine shot in the arse...
I think what we have here a budding satanic serial killer. Had the reading materials and a couple pair of sunglasses. Add everything to his qwerty personality and psychopathy is what you get.
Isn't he running on the DEMOCRAT ticket in Massachusetts? Probably will be elected.
I think I saw this guy at Occupy Boston. He was reprezentin' Mammon and his eternally damned crew.

Four Questions with Rachel Dratch, Comedienne and Author
We have a treat for you this week: Rachel Dratch. That's right, the SNL alumna extraordinaire, Lexington girl made good, and recent mommy memoirist is in town for a performance of Celebrity Autobiography at the Leventhal-Sidman JCC in Newton, and, for some reason, she deigned to answer my four questions! I'm not even going to tell you what I asked her, because you're going to read it anyhow, aren't you?
Tell me about Celebrity Autobiography and the event you're doing here in Boston. How did you come up with the idea?
I didn't come up with the idea. It's the brainchild of Eugene Pack, and I got involved several years ago in New York, where we do the show once a month. There is always a wide variety of actors who sit in—anyone from me to Ryan Reynolds to Florence Henderson! It's always a different show because of that. (Note to audience...Ryan Reynolds will not be in Boston! Sorry, ladies....)
Do you have a favorite performance from these readings? Any that stand out in your mind?
Lately I've been doing Madonna. That's pretty fun, but the passage is pretty obscene too. I asked to not do it last time in Boston because I didn't want my elderly relatives hearing me say all this graphic sexual stuff—I mean, extremely graphic! But one of my other faves is Burt Reynolds, who wrote an autobiography, and Loni Anderson, who wrote one too. So those two are used side-by-side for the show. Well, little-known fact: Burt Reynolds' secretary also felt the need to write an autobiography. So I play his sort of downtrodden secretary, and that's one of my favorite pieces.
You wrote your own memoir this year, Girl Walks into a Bar..., which seems to be about motherhood more so than your time on SNL. How has being a mom changed your outlook on comedy?
I don't think it's changed my outlook on comedy at all. The only thing it does in terms of showbiz is that I don't care as much if I don't get a part, because I don't like spending too much time away from him. So it makes the ups and downs of showbiz less important to me.
It seems inevitable that it will end up being read on stage. Who would you want to perform it for you, and why? Who would you absolutely not want to read from it?
Well, I hope it isn't inevitable that it's read on stage, because the stuff we read on stage is pretty bad! That's what makes it so funny. So I hope my book is never involved with the Celeb Autobio show!
Celebrity Autobiography comes to the JCC on Saturday night, October 20, at 8 p.m. Tickets are almost sold out, so buy yours today.

Reviews by tubeman:More User Reviews:TheBrewoMichigan 4.18/5 rDev +28.6% look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25 Again, thank you to the ever so thoughtful KMitch for supplying a growler of this to share. We cracked the top, pouring a brew of solid apricot orange into flared Heineken pils glasses. A one and a half finger tall head of snow white, soapy and cakey bubbles was noted to show excellent retention. A chill haze cut clarity, but in the absence of sediment. Carbonation appeared to be active. The aroma gave notes of wonderfully sweet and robust citric and nectary hop resins, soft pale and lightly toasted grain, white sugar sweetness, lemon, apple, mango, and pineapple fruitiness, earthen clay, soft plastics, pine sap, clover honey, and lactic creaminess. Our first impression was that the flavoring was just as clean and sweet as the nose would suggest, but without too much bitterness of the hops so as to throw off the balance. As we sipped, the taste began with piney and citric hops, nectarine and mango fruitiness, Band-Aid phenols, soft booziness, and chalky metallics. These blended and enhanced through the middle, with continued fruitiness of apricot, nectarine, and juicy lemon flesh, herbal parsley oils, perfumed flora and earthy-pined hops, English pales and crystal maltiness, and orange rind bitters. The finish came with licorice spiciness, mint leaf, clean and warming booziness, white sugar sweetness, cider vinegar, cigar wraps, chlorine, phenolic plastics, pineapple and mango flesh fruitiness, and coin. The aftertaste breathed of pine sap, kiwi skins, saltine crackers, honey and confectioner's sugar sweetness, pineapple and peach juiciness, metallic yeastiness, authentic strawberry flesh, floral, piney, and citric hop resins, and clean pale grain wash. The feel was light and airy, with solidly medium body, and medium carbonation. Each sip gave creamy slurp and smack, but lesser froth, cream, or poppy glug. The mouth was left coated and cooled, with light astringent tug across the back of the tongue. The abv was appropriate, and the beer drank quite well. Overall, the best thing about this beer was its flavoring. We had a bit of a shock when we first opened this beer, took a whiff, and sipped it because, generally speaking, it has that same luster of fresh hoppy goodness possessed by both Sucks and Heady Topper. Things were fruity, fresh, and confidently smooth, and it tasted just like it smelled. The hops throughout were thickly resinous and heady, with sticky oiliness that went on for days. That said, as the beer warmed, and with a second serving of it, it began to fade. The edges seemed just a bit cheaper, with more metallics and less smoothness to the sip. That said, we were transiently enhanced by this one, but it just didn't seem to possess that reproducibility and longevity that keeps you coming back to your favorite beers time and time again. Serving type: growler 12-08-2013 00:05:42 | More by TheBrewo ny101New York 4.03/5 rDev +24% look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.25 Hopnotic India Pale Ale This beer to me is a basic IPA. I Appearance- Slight Haze, and a little on the light side for an IPA in my mind. I was expecting it to have a golden amber hue, but to me it appears only Golden. Good head retention, moderate lacing. Smell - Pleasant hop aroma. Taste - Fairly simple, nothing too complex going on. Slightly less bitter than most IPA's but well within style. Flavor hop additions make up for lack of bitterness. Mouthfeel - Easily drinkable. Perfect Carbonation, no diacetyl. Overall - I feel like the reviews on this beer are overly harsh, or perhaps the recipe was changed. Yes, it is definitely is a bread/butter IPA, nothing to interesting, lots of Cascade, but honestly, sometimes that's a good thing. It's a solid product, and I would probably buy it again. Great for introducing someone to a simple basic IPA.

Even from an easy pour, it overtook the glass and I had to stop pouring early. Pouring in the last little bit, the head rose above the lip and is only just now slowly turning into larger bubbles and falling slowly, but there is still a central column of incredibly tight foam that isn't going anywhere. Chunky lacing is everywhere. Amazing head on this beer. Smell is definitely English IPA; metallic clean malt, supported by a dash of slightly dank herbal hops. Taste is odd; clean malt makes a quick show, but then hops take over. A quick dash of herbal hops and then it's all over, leaving a tiny hint of bitterness to make you wonder what just happened. There's not much to this beer. Mouthfeel is well-carbonated and medium-thin. Overall, I'm not really a fan of English IPAs. As far as "tamer" IPAs go, I'd prefer a fruity/floral one over an English-style any day. But this one seems a bit off for English anyway...eh. Drinkable, but nothing special. That head though...

May 24 2012
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility : But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger ; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage ; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Hold hard the breath and bend up the spirit... THIS. IS. IT.
Twickenham. 26th May. Quins vs Tigers – the Premiership Final.
Both teams know each other well, as we the fans well remember one of the best games of the season a few weeks ago at the Stoop where both teams went hammer and tongs at each other, and Tigers closed out a close game. There are a breadth of arguments as to why Leicester won that game, ranging from Tigers bench being the difference to a certain Mr Wayne of Barnes as the fulcrum of disappointment.
From this humble fans point of view, I thought it was a generally close game until Mafi came on, as soon as he came on the dynamic shifted from the attrition based typical Leicester play to a more active game. We failed to capitalise on our 1st half progression and on such small margins are the games against the best clubs won and lost. For the sake of argument I think our scrum more or less had parity, and DC didn't have a great day with his box kicks and some of our kicking out of hand was awry where maybe a more pragmatic approach would have yielded better rewards.
Not to mention Toby Flood put in some shift in the second half, playing some of the most incisive 10 play we have witnessed this season.
However this is a different day, different tensions to test each set of players. We all know Leicester have been here before, with their win on our home turf a few weeks ago will that allow an edge of over confidence to worm its way into their subconscious? I am sure Cockerill will be at pains to stop that, yet the human mind is a funny thing.
The same could be said for us, we didn't play great rugby in the semi final, in addition we didn't rampage to the finishing line like Tigers did – let's hope the players don't have any doubts in their minds. As on Saturday week it will be the team who want it more, who bleed just that little bit more that will gain a crucial advantage. Then it's in the laps of the gods. Fifteen play fifteen and these teams are damned close in terms of skill...
Joe Marler vs Dan Cole :
Cole has been irrepressible of late. Fully showing why he is developing into such a mainstay of the England team. I expect Leicester to start with him and then bring on the immense Castrogiovanni later in the game. No more words need to be written about the quality of that substitution.
Marler has been moving on leaps and bounds, his man of the match performance in the semis cannot help but draw the admiring eye of the coy Mr Lancaster and his handsome assistant Graham. His scrummaging so much a bone of contention early in the season has seemed much improved since his first dalliance with those two. However Quins will need his solidity in the set piece and his dynamism in the loose for a full 80 minutes if they are to match Leicester.
Joe Gray vs George Chuter :
Dan Chuter has been consistently good for such a long time. I think it's fair to say he will never be the blustering force of nature that Brits is for Sarries, but he is dependable and streetwise – qualities Leicester hold in high regard.
Joe Gray freshly back from injury has played a couple of games now, after looking slightly off the pace up in Sale he bounced back with a much improved performance in the semi against Saints. With Mr Barnes again reffing he will need to ensure clean line out ball or Captain Tweet will become a thorn in his side.
James Johnstone vs Marcos Ayerza :
Marcos Ayerza is a thoroughly destructive force in the set piece for Leicester, he also manages to get around and put in some monster hits, and is surprisingly mobile. In his last contest with JJ it was very much an even affair, he seemed to struggle to cope with JJ's initial hit and power, but by the end of the game he had managed to bind in such a way as to limit that impact. One of Leicesters most savvy players and if he gets on top in the scrum, that will turn into penalties as Wayne Barnes has said he normally only looks at the tighthead.
The stark difference in perception of JJ at the beginning of the season to now has been impressive. Once thought of as being a bit of a liability due to giving away pens, either he has adapted his binding or his hit, or referees are starting to understand his impact better. In the past 6 games his impact on the scrum has been huge. He puts in a big hit and many seasoned professionals have struggled with it. If he gets this spot on on Saturday and the ref is happy with the first couple of set pieces, JJ should be one of Quins more potent weapons.
Olle Kohn & George Robson vs Geoff Parling & George Skivington :
With Parling and Skivington bringing such optionality to the Leicester line-out even without Croft it is easy to forget that they are quite light for 2nd row forwards, neither is a conventional beast in the Simon Shaw mould. Parling is a savvy line out operator and Quins in their past couple of matches have shown an inability to trouble opposition line-out. If Leicester get a foothold here they will start to concentrate on snaffling Quins line out ball. Robson, Kohn and co will need to have confidence in their own skills in the set piece and play their own game, if they get rattled and continually go for the safe option Leicester have the players to put them under severe pressure. If that happens, inevitably Quins will try something creative which has a high cost if it goes wrong, i.e. long ball over the top or something similar.
In the loose however the Quins 2nd row have been ticking along, whilst not at the dynamic benchmark they set in the Big Game steal from the Saffas in Black they are still a force around the park. Saints however complained that at the breakdown it always seemed to be Kohn and Robbo flopping on the ball.
Chris Robshaw, Mo Fa'asavalu, & Nick Easter vs Steve Mafi, Craig Newby/Julian Salvi & Thomas Waldrom
Light the gunpowder and step back. These two back rows are ready to blow. Whomever Leicester put at No7 it highlights the depth of their resources, Craig Newby is some talent and in any other team he'd be first choice. However Julian Salvi has been a massive hit this season, an out and out blind side he played excellently against Saracens earlier in the season. Against Quins a month ago he didn't really ever get going, was this due to an off game or was it the hard work of the Quins back row which prevented him from shining? One man who certainly enjoyed himself in that game was Waldrom. Running in a couple of tries and really coming on strong in the final 20 mins as the Quins pack dipped just below their standards for the first half. Traditionally Tigers have been remarkably strong in this area and it just goes to show that even with Croft out injured and Salvi doubtful that they can still field a unit that will compete with the best.
Moving to Quins back row, with the combination of work ethic and impact power contained here this is a back row to be feared by most teams, additionally these 3 have cemented their positions over the latter half of the season since Robshaw came back back from his England adventure and now have a familiarity between them. The only criticism which could be levied at them would be the lack of a true blind side flanker, so far the work ethic and Robshaws indefatigable tackling have ensured that this has not cost the team. The channels that Big Mo and Easter run are very complimentary, one or the other usually being around for the offload, the form of Fa'asavalu winning him a recall to the Samoan squad. Easter in particular has many reasons to put in a heroic shift at the coalface after being targeted for flippancy at the World Cup and subsequently ditched from the 6 Nations, not to mention he isn't getting any younger and this could be one of his last finals.
Danny Care & Nick Evans vs Ben Youngs & George Ford :
I'm prepared to eat humble pie if Flood does appear to be fit, but after all the mind games and media hype of the past week I just can't see it being the triple bluff that people seem to think Cockerill is up to. In George Ford however, Quins only have to worry about a 10 who was integral in the scoring of a try in the semi final and kicked all his points bar one effort against a tough, professional Sarries outfit. Easy! In all seriousness he looks some player. His kicking game seems spot on and he appears as nerveless as Farrell Jnr, his passing game seems slick and he has the youthful adventure which hasn't been knocked out of his game yet by interceptions. The big story with Ford at the moment is that he is being left behind to do conditioning work and bulk up for next season as he is perceived to be a bit slight. As young Heathcote from Bath found out, Big Mo is a Big Unit..., look for a big hit in the opening 15 minutes. His linking with Youngs needs to develop and this may be an area Quins can look to exploit. Youngs himself on his day can be a devastating scrum half, and he has shown signs that he is getting back to his best. His sniping and aggression will be something Quins will have to watch, it will be interesting to see if he is designated by Cockerill to be all over Care in the event Quins get a penalty to stop Care's in roads.
Evans in recent weeks has seemed more back to his old self, and more than a couple of people have theorised that mayhaps he was carrying a knock when we played against Leicester. However in recent weeks the passing has been more fluid and against Saints it was good to see Evans turning on the turbos (such as they are!) and aiming to break the line when gaps appeared. Whilst he works well with Dickson, the same as Leicester he works better with his usual partner in Danny Care. If you ignore the off the pitch travails, Care has had an awesome season, he has sparked off the back of the pack and his interface with Easter gives Quins an additional weapon in the armory.
Jordan Turner-Hall & George Lowe vs Anthony Allen & Manu Tuilagi :
Anthony Allen has had a magnificent end to the season, really hitting form and able to demonstrate his full range of jinking runs and attacking running, nowhere was this more prevalent than against Quins at the Stoop. Stuart Lancaster has rightly called him up and he can still get better. As in so many reviews and so many press releases, he is the surgical implement to Tuilagi's hammer. The artist to Manu's battering ram. The Stan Laurel to Manu's Oliver Hardy. Ad nauseum...
Tuilagi's talents are well known, and he has also matured into a player less likely to leave his defensive position to administer a big hit, this and the development of his offloading game has rounded him out as a player. His skills are well known and he will be a handful, Quins miss their tackles off him at their peril.
JTH and George Lowe are very similar, our Ernie Wise being Lowe and our Eric Morecombe being JTH. In recent weeks something has been amiss with the duos sterling form throughout most of the season. JTH has been being stopped dead when he comes in to break the line, the passes in the game against Leicester were coming to him slow and his run was telegraphed, but in more recent games the passing has been crisper but the result the same. Have teams worked out the main runs that JTH makes? Possibly. Is this a Conor O'Shea gambit where he's been keeping JTH's 3 other lines under wraps til the final? Let's hope so! Lowe on the other hand has been a model of consistency, from his high point of the season probably being the Big Game against Sarries at Wembley, he has been high up on the effort charts and his ability to switch to the wing was also used in the semi. More of the same please Mr Lowe.
Ugo Monye, Tom Williams & Mike Brown vs Alessana Tuilagi, Horacio Agulla & Geordan Murphy :
The Leicester back three are a fantastic combination of power, experience and guile. Defensively they are sound, especially as Tuilagi Snr seems to have curtailed his wanderings from the wing. The devastating power of Tuilagi is something to behold, he takes some stopping on the pitch, fortunately Quins can hark back to the game at the Stoop where he was pretty much under control most of the game, apart from the try which was routine. Agulla goes quietly about his work but has been deeply impressive in Tigers late season surge, so much of what he does seems unflashy, but he is effective and the support lines he runs are similar to Ashtons. Murphy the old campaigner will certainly try to have an influence on this game, even if it's not by his play he will be in the referees ear from the off, and there aren't many more experienced than him at how to put their side across to Mr Barnes.
Quins back three by comparison are relatively short on experience, Ugo apart, and must hope to match up to the 'on paper' superior back three of Leicester. Williams has been playing some damned fine rugby in recent weeks and has probably been our most consistent winger, however with Ugo back from injury I expect him to replace Sam Smith who has struggled a little in recent weeks after an impressive season. The one concern Quins should have is that with regards to the clinicality demonstrated by the Tigers wingers, can we truly say that Williams or Ugo are born finishers? It's a difficult case to make.
However we have the most deadly fullback in the Premiership in Mike Brown who has simply exploded this season, in at least 90% of people's teams of the season, Mr Nasty makes an appearance. Gone is the feistiness that so categorised his early performances for the club, and in its place stands a tempered, exuberant full back, massively confident under the high ball. If the pack fires for Quins then it will be down to the effort of the back three to defend the Leicester counter attack. Game on.
Leicester of course can bring on a wealth of experience and top talent from the bench, Quins will have to be looking to be ahead after 60 minutes or those top quality replacements like Newby, Youngs and Castrogiovanni are going to be difficult to hold back. Quins 15 have demonstrated on numerous occasions that they are 80 minute players, and they in turn have some strength in depth to bring on with players such as Guest and Dickson, but the edge is most definitively with Tigers.
Which brings us to the last individual on the pitch, Barnes will bring his inimitable reffing style, and both teams will have to adapt accordingly with the route he takes to referee. Whilst most disagree that the ref should have an impact on a game, both teams will be in the same boat.
To the neutral, I would imagine Leicester to be the favourites via dint of their experience and on paper it could be argued they are stronger.
Upon HQ's sun drenched turf, if these two teams play to their potential we will have some game. Let's leave it in the hands of those ever present capricious rugby gods and hope for a spectacle suitable to two teams who have both had magnificent seasons. This is the final that should have been, we have the top two teams, and no matter how you feel about the play-offs this is set to be some event.
May the best team win.

Zeke97, are you still having this issue? Check with the support desk if you are, they need to know about these kinds of problems directly so they can get a resolution for you or kick it up to a programmer. When you call, knowing the Operating system you are on (and the version), browser you are using (and version) can prove helpful. |

The X is faint, but there. And by clicking the X you have logged a kind of "vote" that the system records as a successful pop-up. It will now decide if you will get more pop-ups. You will. |

I don't see any pop-ups. What browser and what version of it are you guys using? Almost any browser has a pop-up suppression feature. Make sure yours is on. If it doesn't have one, update the browser. IE 8 is a bit squirrely with the new format but Chrome works perfectly. |

I've said this many times before, but here it is again. It shouldn't matter what browser you are using , what version of IE you have, what kind of computer, what brand of mouse, what style keyboard you are using, what light is on in the room or what color your underwear (if any) you are wearing. It doesn't make a nickle's worth of difference on ANY other website, WHY should it make a difference here? My old computer with dial up from 16 years ago should be able to access the same exact website, although quite a bit slower, as the newest computer I'm using today. WHY don't these issues happen elsewhere? |

Never give human medications to your cat unless you have been told to do so by your veterinarian. Most people pills, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), are toxic to felines.
read moreWhen used correctly and with the right cat, a leash can provide both you and your pet a safe way to spend quality time together outdoors while getting exercise too. Here are the requested do's and don'ts:

Don't …
John S. says: We walk our cats all the time on a long leash. Must have a good harness so they cannot slip out, one that goes around the neck and the abdomen. We do not allow our animals outside without control and supervision.

Jo Sutherland savours the glorious gore of Blasted at Lyrics Hammersmith... as she hides behind her hands.
I'm not one easily offended. In fact, I like to consider myself to be quite hardcore. But after spending 110 minutes of being subjected to darkness and its older brother, I felt in need of a hug from someone whispering "everything's going to be ok..."
In 1995 Sarah Kane – once described by Mark Ravenhill as "the most widely produced and fervently admired" playwright – shocked the theatrical world with Blasted. The play caused a wave of protest and hysteria that stemmed from multiple depictions of rape, suicide, eye-gouging and cannibalism.
Set in a plush hotel room in Leeds, a sordid love affair begins to unravel. Ian, a middle-aged alcoholic on the brink of death, tries to reignite a former abusive relationship with the simple-minded and much younger Cate. A series of abuse takes place before the hotel room is gate-crashed by a gun-weilding soldier. The world comes crashing apart – literally. The tables turn and Ian becomes subject to the atrocities and humiliation that he himself has inflicted on others.
Sean Holmes' tremendous revival encapsulates the entire essence of the play, in all its gory glory. The cast is extraordinary for several reasons: spot-on characterisation, commitment to the script, and ability to make me gulp, hide my eyes behind my hands, and utter bursts of "oh god no, no, please no!" The captivating performances suck the audience into the nightmare as the boundaries between stage and auditorium dissipate. Shudders vibrate through the rows of the theatre... a Mexican wave of inner turmoil.
The moments that I found most gasp-inducing are now forming a montage in my psyche... and I find myself grimacing as I even type this recollection. OK, well the first image is of a neurotic woman holding a dead baby and cackling with laughter – a penetrating laughter that manages to resonate throughout the auditorium. This mental picture is accompanied by the same dead baby being eaten (yes, eaten) by a nightmarish creature that, moments before, used to resemble a man. What else...? Errr, perhaps the blood oozing from the gaping orifices where eyes used to live... a graphic masturbation scene with the audio-addition of 'cunt' being repeated again and again... Oh, and let's not forget the man-on-man rape that seems to go on forever. Put it this way; if Quentin Tarantino were sitting next to me, he'd be cowering, hiding his eyes, rocking himself back and forth, and planning a phone-call to his therapist...
Despite being labelled as 'in-yer-face theatre', and deemed "a disgusting feast of filth" by the Daily Mail back in the day, Sarah Kane's work is now right at the centre of the world's theatrical repertoire. Kane wrote with enthusiasm, brutal honesty, skill and daring; she caused controversy and chaos with her power to disrupt and disturb. The play's innovative structure must also be noted: a naturalistic first half, followed by a richly symbolic second half. The action is driven by the sharp and sardonic dialogue, underpinned by a mounting sense of claustrophobic violence and fear. And the production utilises each grim image, every shocking punch, to the max. Plays don't come any darker or harsher than this astounding drama.
Blasted runs at Lyric Hammersmith until 20th November

Just a little thing I found:
The Geography of Recent Genetic Ancestry across Europe (July 2012)
"...The highest levels of IBD sharing are found in the Albanian-speaking individuals (from Albania and Kosovo), an increase in common ancestry deriving from the last 1,500 years. This suggests that a reasonable proportion of the ancestors of modern-day Albanian speakers are drawn from a relatively small, cohesive population that has persisted for at least the last 1,500 years. These individuals share similar numbers of common ancestors with nearby populations as do individuals in other parts of Europe, implying that the Albanian speakers have not been a particularly isolated population so much as a small one. Furthermore, our Greek samples (and to a lesser degree, the Macedonians) share much higher numbers of common ancestors with Albanian speakers than with other neighbors, possibly due to smaller effects of the Slavic expansion in these populations. The Albanian language is a Indo-European language without other close relatives (Hamp, 1966) that persisted through periods when neighboring languages were strongly influenced by Latin or Greek. The "origin" of modern-day Albanians is contentious; it is argued for instance that they are descended in large part from the Illyrians (Wilkes, 1996) who populated the eastern side of the Adriatic sea and part of modern-day Salento (Italy) during Roman times. Our results are certainly consistent with this view, including the fact that Italians share more common ancestors with Albanian speakers than with other populations..."
Translation: Albanians speaking people today are pretty much the same people that populated Balkans as at least 1500 years ago.

Some parents think that when a child reaches the age of 20, the obligations of parenthood end. The son or daughter is now a mature adult who can, and must, learn to fend for his or herself.
However, we can learn from the conduct of Avraham that education never ceases. At this point, Yitzchak was 37 years old, and Avraham could have quite reasonably taken a "back seat," allowing Yitzchak to make his own choices about where to live and whom to marry.
In fact, Avraham did precisely the opposite. Instead of relaxing and enjoying his own life, he relinquished his life's savings and all his possessions, giving them to Yitzchak in an attempt to help him find an appropriate wife.
From this we can learn that parenthood never ends. Even when our children become mature adults, we should be willing to sacrifice everything that we have for their benefit.

This weekend was a re-org of the chicken run, so that we could fence off the path and get into the shed occasionally. I want to reclaim the vegetable bed so that I can plant in it and lay an irrigation system to the bed as well. I still have enough bits left over from the main veggie patch project (which is working exceptionally well I may say). The garden on that side has never grown so fast! Sure the rain helped, but the drip irrigation every few days from the tank and twice weekly from the mains as per our water restrictions have done wonders for the growth rate. I think it will survive any scorchers we get this year.
Anyway, back to the chicken run. I started by removing these three posts.
Yes, it is an old shot as you will see in a minute. I thought last week, that what is the point of having these three posts up against the fence when the new fence is just a high. So with my reuse hat on, I decided to dig them out and reuse them. This is one I prepared earlier.
Notice all of the attention the hole has created with our fine feathered friends. The ground is so rich in worms, they went absolutely crazy over all these tasty morsels. The soil is so moist from all that rain we have had lately down to at least 60cm which was as deep as the posts were in the ground. It took about 30 minutes to get these out and I though it would take much longer. A bit of digging, a bit of rocking and out they came. I knocked the quick set concrete block off of the bottom with the mattock without any problems (will have to think of a use for that concrete now). The photo was taken by Kim, my trusty, yet padawan construction worker. Her heart was really in it, but is still learning from the master jedi builder of all things green! I love to see her so excited about helping out.
With all the posts on the other side of the enclosure, I started digging the post holes with my trusty auger that I have had since we moved into the place, 9 years ago. I measured a 90cm span between posts to ensure that it all looked even as there were still 3 posts still in the ground where I needed them.
Notice the feathers in the background. This is Pippa, Poppy's sister. I dug a pilot hole out of shot, and this is her digging in it for worms.
She was having a ball. The soil and clay on this side of the chicken run was just as moist all the way down. Great place to store water if you ask me! Anyway, we got all three post holes dug. It was time for a rest, and a quick trip to the hardware store for two bags of quickset concrete to set the posts. As I am going to hang a picket gate off of one the posts I had to make sure that it was firmly in the ground.
With Kim as my height guide, I levelled the posts on the vertical, and then, after a quick measure between the posts, I started to pour the dry quickset into the first hole with post in the ground. Kim had spirit level in hand to check if the posts were level on the horizontal all around whilst I poured in the water to set the mix. It sets in about 15 minutes, but you can't bang any nails into the posts until the next day. With the chickens looking confused, but happy from their worm feast it was time to call it a day having put all three posts in the ground and fixed down to 60cm with quickset. We had friends coming over at 5pm, so I did a little bit of gardening for about an hour to kill the time. Here is a worm feast picture;
Today, after a one hour session to the gym to build up the core muscles for the day ahead, I got stuck back into it at around 1030. Now that we had all the posts where they were required, I started with the wire. I chose to use 13mm chicken wire up to a height of 1.8 metres. It seemed about right, and I know now from experience that they cannot fly that high. Kim was still tired so she went back to bed for another hour, so I slogged it out in the blazing sun by myself. Fencing is quite painful when there is only one of you, so I took it slow and steady. After two hours of banging my thumb and pricking myself with the wire, this is what I achieved. Wire all the way up, double span, and dug down about 5cm with about 5cm pointing toward the path so that the dogs, or heaven forbid, a fox tries to get in. I pegged all bottom sections down with long tent pegs and will bury it all when I get the chance.
Here is a better shot of this part;
Do you like my sewing job? I joined the two spans together with the wire that came wrapped around the bundle of chick wire. It was just enough, but took me about 45 minutes to finish and my fingers were covered in zinc from the wire by the time I had finished. The sweat was pouring off of my brow from under my wide brimmed hat by this time as the sun was at its zenith. I finished this part at about 1330, and took a lunch break. It took me a while to scrub the zinc off of my fingers, but I didn't want to ingest it with my sandwich.
When I dug the trench for the bottom of the wire, there was another worm feast for the hens, and one of them, Esther, was so close to the spade, that I nearly chopped her head off three times. We nearly had roast chicken for dinner. Here is a pic of some of the cheeky chickens. Esther is the white one standing bottom right on the old lumps of concrete.
After lunch, I was getting real hot. I had to figure out a quick way of letting the hens through to their favourite dust bath area behind the shed. They have made it their weekend playground and quickly round up any insects and weeds, which works out as a win-win for all of us. Here is what I came up with as an interim solution until Kim suggested a gate that swings outward and blocks off the path. Now why didn't I think of that. Maybe she will be a master jedi sooner than I think!
It is a bit like a trap door that has battens down the side of each post as a guide. You can also see their behind the shed playground in this shot as well. Here it is with the door in it.
It seems to keep them in and they are getting used to all the new wire. With the last bit of chicken wire in place above the trap door and the left side of it, I called it a day at about 1500, as I didn't want to over heat. One dose of heat stroke is enough for this summer, thank-you very much.
Time for a beer and a movie to relax for the rest of the day. Mind you, after the movie, I still spent another hour at 1800 watering all the pot plants and fertilising the fruit orchard out the front yard. I must have ants in my pants, and find it hard to sit still until after sunset. Why waste all that wonderful sunlight when you only get long days for half the year? Pippa and Poppy sure don't!

Great touchscreen GPS, awesome for paperless geocaching,…
Source: bought it used
Price Paid: $160
Great touchscreen GPS, awesome for paperless geocaching, very easy to use.
- Easy to use
- Small
- Paperless geocaching
- Touch screen
- Does not track you exactly on a road if you are in a vehicle
This is a great gps for geocaching, touchscreen is great, custom backgrounds, small and lightweight. Very easy to use, can't wait to get the thermometer attachment.
Seems very rugged. Comes with a handy carabiner for hooking onto any pack or belt loop.
The Garmin 450T (T="Trail") was released to the public…
Price Paid: $499
The Garmin 450T (T="Trail") was released to the public in late January, 2010. Because it is so new, the price is identical, everywhere: $499. However, if you are an REI member (And who isn't?), your 10% off translates into a $50 savings at the end of the year. That's reason enough to buy this from them.
The 450T feels comfortable in your hand. It's about the same size and weight as an Apple iPhone. There is only a power/lock/brightness button, all other commands are all done using the touch screen.
Power is supplied by 2 AA batteries (not included) but I'd recommend Li/Mh, as they do last longer. There is a battery menu you need to change depending on the battery type you put in the unit. I averaged less than 8 hours of battery life off a set of new Energizer batteries, which is why I recommend the Ni/Mh.
The microSD memory card (Also not included) has one disclaimer: The largest card the manual claims the unit will support is 4 gb. It fits into a slot beneath the battery, which in turn is covered by a waterproof hatch. Maps, geocaches, etc. can be loaded either directly into the 450T (A mini USB cable is included, nice touch), or into the microSD, which is useful. If you purchase the optional streetmap software (To turn the 450T into a car navigation GPS), be warned: You'll need a microSD card ($14 at WalMart) to perform the download, it won't fit in the base unit's memory, and Garmin neglected to tell that to us....
Another thing Garmin neglected was to write a decent manual. When you spend $500 on a new electronic device, it seems obvious that the company would create a new manual for it. Garmin, sadly, doesn't think that way. The manuals you do get are a quick start guide, which is basically how to install the batteries and power on the unit, and the "user guide" which covers almost *all* the Colorado line. Reading about features not included in this model is rather annoying. But, after all the 450T is nothing more than the Colorado 550T, minus the digital camera. Still I urge everyone to visit the Garmin support website and download a copy of the manual for yourself.
If you've never used a GPS before, a manual this sparse may frustrate you. If, however, you're familiar with basic GPS operation, then you probably won't need/use the manual anyway, except for reference.
Performance out of the box was decent, and the unit picked up 9 satellites in less than 15 minutes. I was also able to get a satellite lock from inside my house, which never happened with my older Garmin models. Once a position is set, the unit continues to track satellites for 3 days, even when powered off. That's great for saving battery power on the trail. I also liked the fact that the battery saver blanks the display screen. That's much nicer than my previous Garmin. My average position outdoors was fixed to within 11 feet. That's not as good as some other Garmin models, but this one has no external antenna, so I'm not complaining.
Size, weight, intuitive customizable menu system, "paperless" geocaching, WhereIgo enabled, great 3-axis compass, WAAS enabled, sharp color display, mini-USB cable included, very fast data transfer, including wireless transfer to similar units, displays JPG photos, which can may be stored on the microSD card, 800mb of internal memory. North American topo and basemaps are included. Supports Garmin Connect.
Dislikes (All minor):
Sparse manual, touch screen may scratch, no storage case provided (Garmin sells that as an option), slightly difficult to see in full sun, Garmin map updates are expensive. Optional topo map upgrade ($100) shows more detail,24k, than the supplied 100k version. Considering the price of the 450T, they could have tossed that in for free.
Bottom line: Pretty much state-of-the art.

A very nice, little hotel near the beach. Friendly stuff, very clean rooms, with everything you need in.Maybe the breakfast could be richer, but I liked very much the youghurt and cocomber in the morning. Nice the restaurants and shops close and also the possibilities to see the places near. Sorry only that our holiday was not longer.

Marijuana itself isn't bad. It's the preachy, pretentious jackasses who smoke it and are ignorant and judgmental of everyone else who doesn't like it that are bad. I hung out with the unsavory crowds in high-school and college even though I rarely partook and I have to say, out of the 20-or-so users/dealers I know, maybe one of them is sorta admirable. The whole marijuana-is-an-eye-opening-miracle-and-completely-harmless argument is essentially a fantasy perpetuated by these pretentious twats.
"Sorry those are regular brownies…..she's just an idiot.' XD
@djhannnah 99.3% of marijuana users ARE idiots. I am an idiot.
Oh God don't get so butt hurt. My God u have no sense of Humor do u? My Aunt suffers from chronic muscle tension and she has legally a medial marijuana card. Also do u have any clue on the THC and its affects with Pain receptors? I though NOT. Do your research. I'm a College student and I smoke Pot regularly but never high while to class or studying.I guess your the low percent of Americans who believe marijuana is still um… bad…
That doesn't really wash, does it. If I was such a goody two shoes (it's two by the way, not too), wouldn't I have a problem having a drink? To answer your question, the only time I have alcohol is on holidays or if it's a special occasion like a birthday dinner. The people I've encountered who smoke pot do it often and at inappropriate times. That would be equal to someone spending a lot of their time being drunk and I don't advocate that either.
Here we go another goody too shoes… sheesh… yes but I bet money u have NO problem having a drink. That guy u work with is a complete loser for being high at work…
That's only part of the picture. If it's mixed with other drugs, you can have a bad reaction to it and need hospitalization. Believe me, I've seen it happen to people. And as for the regular so-called harmless stuff, my admin at work smokes it (I know because I can smell it on him). He constantly makes stupid mistakes that he shouldn't by now when he's there, and makes excuses for why he can't come in at other times. I've never smoked it and I turned out just fine. Nobody needs it.
You'd think Joel McHale would ease up on his audience a little!
LOLOL I would only watch the show to point and laugh.
Ive done a lot of crazy shit Drunk but the craziest thing Ive done on Pot was answering the door to a Pizza Hut guy while holding a bowl of Cereal. why its illegal i know why, its just the Gov making their money on putting people in jail. Anyways thanks!
I would have eaten those brownies all day, there still good messed up!
seriously. come to my dispensary. it's run by a retired registered nurse. that shit is locked down and professional. this ass doesn't know what he's doing.
Some dude travelled over 900 miles for a taco with a Dorito shell. I'd say he packed just right. After all..accountability.
I showed that marijuana is a harmless medicine if anyone else would like to have national geographic film them for 6 months please be my guest. I did much more then bake brownies but they wanted to make me look domesticated so i took one for the team. you're welcome!

I had such a great time shooting these two even though it was freezing cold outside! Congratulations to Mitch and Kat!
Check back soon for a more artistic touch to these photos!!!!!

The Villarreals
I guess this kinda has a history of procrastination... For Christmas last year I gave my boyfriend's sister and her husband a free pass for family portraits! Well it never happened, and then I wanted to wait till I got my new camera, and then I was running out of time and knocked it out right before I left for school. Sooo now a new Christmas is coming and I am finally posting Nora and Eddie's Christmas present for last year!!
Honestly, I did not think that I got anything good from this shoot.. It was hard.. very hard.. a 1 year old, a 2 year old, a 4 year old, and a 6 year old all in one picture!? (uh oh I hope I got their ages right?? sorry Nora [: ) But I was very happy with the photos that came out! The lighting was good and all the colors were awesome! So here are some very late photos that got lost somewhere..
Goshh I love this kid!!
While I was packing my stuff up, Jose got these awesome pictures of the girls blowing bubbles. Gotta give credit where credit is due, Good Job Jose! :)
So they're FINALLY up!! Merry Christmas 2009!

This is my first experience doing something like this and I want to share it, 4 long months working all weekends. This is the pepakura method, so you need a lot of patience.
"Get ready for..." Stage
First list of material:
Paper Cardstock
Hot Glue
Your PC and Printer
Pepakura Viewer software
DOWNLOAD Pepakura software.
DOWNLOAD Pepakura files.
(Updated on JUN 12, 2012)
Thanks to ROBO for this awesome files!!! the best 3D model of ironman on the web!
Step 1: "Print - cut - Paste"
Cutting the pieces by the solid line.
The dotted line is for "mountain" folding and the dot-line-dot is for "valley" folding.
Match each tab with its corresponding number using hot glue, helped with the Pepakura Viewer to identify easily each piece.
Do the same with all the parts one by one to avoid confusing the pieces.
TIP: Save each printed & cutted page of the part in numbered folders for easy identifying.
1-40 of 302 | Next » |
Here's a thing! some pieces are the same in the 3D model (left and right),
but if you take a look closely they are not the same, try to print them and you will notice the difference, I really have not idea why the 3D model doesn't change when flip is apply to parts.
Other pieces, like the hand plate, are just the same for both sides.
here's an amazon link for buying it: http://www.amazon.com/Neenah-Exact-Sheets-Brightness-Inches/dp/B006P1EQXA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384652058&sr=8-2&keywords=cardstock
I have no idea how much I used, buy it 2 by 2, ;) easy that way.
The pain theres not a specific code, I really prefer chose the color I want in my local paint shop, in the movie you can notice the red is a little different from it and other sources, buy the one you like.
I think I got almost everything but the notes. Both the "supports" notes text file and the main notes text file failed to load. Great work, now someday their will be 3-D printable armor but till then this is the best I've seen.
And apply a good layer or primer prior to be water sanded to achieve a good finish.
named as: Helm (scale1).pdo
Regards. =)

text: Recycled Paper Pulp BricksA product made to reverse the effects of Global Warming.My name is Steven Montes, I am a scientist in Tucson, Arizona. I have developed several different technology, in different fields of science. One of the technologies that I have just completed, is a technology that makes all construction blocks obsolete, in the development of housing, and construction. I have invented a construction block, or brick using recycled newspaper and cement. I have also created a tile that is placed on a roof, made of the same material to make a home more energy efficient.It is my belief that this new development of the type of brick could have a reverse effect on Global warming around the world. But it is the lack of funds that keep me from bring this new technology to market as well as the politics which is against me in creating this product. Can you help me to help my world. A) One of the main features of this block, is its insolation factor. This block will insulated a house of building fully from the heat or cold., only because newspaper is considered one of the most highly insulated material known to man. The reduction in energy to heat, or cool a home made of these new materials, will reduce energy cost by an unmanageable amount. Reducing our need for fossil fuels globally. B) Because of the high concentrations of chemicals that go into the making of newspaper used in this block, this block is mold resistence, non-allergenic, and is resistant to termites. C) This block weights 75% less than a other block its size, which will reduce the shipping expenditure by 75%. In addition this block does not need to be fired in a large oven, or kiln, and is dried in the sun. Which greatly reduces the energy cost to manufacture.D) Because of the fibrous content of the block, this block is much stronger than any other block, also because of the fibrous content, this block will endure any stress factor coming from the settlement of a foundation, or earthquake situation. E) The new materials used in this process, can be formed, colored, designed, and used to make lawn furniture as well. F) Due to the addition of certain chemicals introduced to newspaper to retard fire has also made this block fire retardant.What I would like to do, is work with your organization to develop several manufacturing plants all over the US, and International as well. To meet the supply and demand, that will occur from the sales of these new products globally. There so many possibilities that this product has to offer in the defense of Global warming. If you can help me please call me. I can be reached at: email@example.com or at my home at 520-749-1105, and thank you for your time.
