It's no secret that Lacuna Coil vocalists Andrea Ferro and Cristina Scabbia have strong vocals when it comes to music, now the singers are using the powerful voices to address bullying.
Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil recently spoke about how she gets inspiration for new material after writing and performing for nearly two decades and how she appreciates the "little things in life."
Even though songstress Adele is still at No. 1, hard rock and heavy metal have claimed top spots on the Billboard 200 chart this week, as new albums by Lamb of God and Lacuna Coil debut high on the latest album tally.
Gigantour may just have one of the most explosive lineups of any tour this year. Headlining the trek are Megadeth and Motorhead with support from Volbeat and Lacuna Coil.
Gigantour, the mega-metal tour featuring Megadeth, Motorhead, Lacuna Coil and Volbeat, kicked off last night in Camden, N.J., and it certainly seemed to live up to its name.
Lacuna Coil fans can rejoice, as the band has unleashed their sixth studio album, 'Dark Adrenaline,' via Century Media Records. The disc is the Italian rock group's follow up to 2009's 'Shallow Life.'
Lacuna Coil are offering fans a full preview of their album 'Dark Adrenaline' in advance of its release on Tuesday, Jan. 24. The entire disc is streaming over at SPIN.com (see link below).
Italian melodic metallers Lacuna Coil have been incredibly generous, sharing updates and footage of the creative process for several months leading up to their new album 'Dark Adrenaline,' the release date of which is right around the corner. In the footage posted below, head-turning singer Cristina Scabbia and her mates stand in front of a mic in the studio to discuss the history of the facility and possible paranormal activity that may have taken place during the recording process.
Lacuna Coil have been very busy this year, as they gear up for the release of their upcoming album 'Dark Adrenaline,' which is due out Jan. 24 via Century Media Records.

Breaking news
Snakes In A Wal-Mart Go To Pot
In a story that is sure to go viral, a Wal-Mart shopper in the state of Washington, Mica Craig, claimed he was bitten by a rattler in the Garden Shop of his local store near Salmon, Idaho on Friday.
The late night comedians and most of the national press have already 'jumped' on this story, because not only is Wal-Mart the nation's largest retailer - but the victim told Reuters that the mulch he was trying to buy was for his 'Legal, Medical Pot Garden'.
You have to admit, this is funny!
"I reached down to grab the stick to move it out of the way, and the snake stretched out, turned around and got its fangs in my right hand," Mica said. "I slung it off and I did a tap dance on it until it was dead."
OMG - He danced it to death? The guys on the late news tonight could not stop laughing...from the anchors to the cameramen!
"At this point, it appears to be an isolated incident. We are working with a pest management team, which is conducting a sweep of the property to ensure there is no additional rattlesnake activity," Walmart spokeswoman Kayla Whaling said.
So what should you do if YOU encounter a snake at Wal-Mart - or in your Local Mall? EMS first responders reccomend:
1) Be ready to describe the snake to emergency personell.
2) Call 911 and lay the person on the ground.
>Move the victim away from the threat.
>Keep the wound below the heart.
>Keep the patient still to keep venom from spreading.
>Cover the wound with bandages or clean sterile cloth.
DO NOT do what you have seen in Movies or TV shows LOL:
Don't suck the venom. Don't cut the wound or make an X. Do not apply a tourniquet, ice, or water. No - Do not give the person Alcohol or Drugs! (LOL).

OH SNAP! Dreams do come true
Sylvan Dale finally gets a real dose of snow today and it looks as though the white stuff will stay around for a while with colder temperatures expected.
The ranch takes on an especially romantic atmosphere when the white snow blankets the turf, tracing the tree branches with a silvery sheen.
Although it was still overcast, we captured a couple shots of the property this morning and will try to get out to grab some more as the day progresses.
Hopefully the late day will provide better lighting of the gorgeous landscape. Check back later today to see them!

Code board: Not all worthy of amnesty
Fine mitigation hearings proposed only for those currently in compliance
MARCO ISLAND - Code board members weren't pleased with the idea of major discounts given to Marco Island property owners who violated city rules. So, they proposed a plan designed to benefit those who complied with the codes— or at least eventually complied, but still have outstanding fines to pay.
In early October, City Manager Steve Thompson and Community Development Director Steve Olmsted suggested a 60-day amnesty period to bring a property into compliance and then the fees would be reduced to 25 percent of the total due, plus any hard costs, such as pool and lawn service, incurred by the city. The decreased amount would be due by the end of the 60 days.
The 75 percent off deal didn't appeal to the members of the Code Enforcement Board, which unanimously opposed the proposal.
Chairman Tarik Ayasun helped develop a new plan meant to help people who are currently in compliance.
He described the earlier proposal as a "carte blanche" for all rather than an incentive for doing right.
Property owners who are in compliance but have fines to pay are invited to a special meeting of the Code Board in late January to plea their case for fine reductions.
Code Board member Joe Batte respected Thompson's and Olmsted's idea to try to speed up compliance and fine payments, but thought there was a better way.
"I had problems with the amnesty program because I don't want to see people who have not complied at all be rewarded."
Batte, on vacation with family at the time, said he wasn't familiar with all the details of the newest plan, but said the concept seems to be an improvement.
The city has received about $300,000 in code fines so far this year, but there are still more than $2.6 million in uncollected fines from foreclosure properties, Thompson reported.
Fines and interest owed by 18 properties that are in compliance add to $573,000, Olmsted reported. Approximately $2 million is owed by the 29 property owners not in compliance.
Those 29 property owners will not have an opportunity to request a mitigation hearing or savings on their fines— at least not in January. Their fines continue to accrue daily, usually at a rate of $250 per day, per violation, until the problems are remedied.
The properties already in compliance may request a mitigation hearing by Jan. 22. Property owners seeking relief must submit a written, notarized request for mitigation, including the grounds and circumstances justifying mitigation, Olmsted said.
This plan gives relief to those currently in compliance and may compel others to do the same, Ayasun said.
The code board has authority reduce or mitigate fines previously levied by the board following the recording of a lien, Olmsted said.
Attorney Jonathan Shamres, of the Weiss-Serota law firm, advised that mitigation should be based on logical reasoning, such as how quickly owners responded to the notice of violation, their attendance at their scheduled hearings and to some extent, the factors that may have delayed their ability to correct the violation in a timely manner.
The process Thompson initially described for city council emphasized having the property owner correct the problem immediately, and, in exchange for doing so, getting a discount on fines.
The biggest differences between the plans are that instead of 75 percent off for all who come into compliance by a certain date, the code board will have discretion as to how much to reduce the fines, if at all, for properties currently in compliance if they come to a hearing before the board.
"Even if we only get $60,000, that's $60,000 we wouldn't have collected," Ayasun said.
Code mitigation plans and amnesty programs are used by several local governments to improve safety and aesthetics in neighborhoods, as well as to collect fines. Potential benefits to Marco may also include increased real estate sales and values with decreased amounts of recorded liens.
Code Enforcement Board member Joe Granda said the plan will help Marco property owners by what he has described as a "compassionate" board.
Before hearing of the most current plan, Marco resident Dave Stonier told the Eagle that there may be no right or wrong method, but he supported the city's endeavor to collect as many fees as possible.
"If you have a seller who is despondent over finances, trying to save his or her home, and living in the property, you have to cut the person a break. But, if the owner has abandoned the property, he or she should pay the penalties."
Councilman Bill Trotter said the initial amnesty program offered a lot of savings, but the city would lose too much money. Councilman Jerry Gibson agreed.
Marco resident Eddie Vasquez previously told the Eagle that he just didn't want to see the city give banks more relief.
"Why should the taxpayer bail out the banks again?"

Three projects get grants from international fund
University projects designed to strengthen ties with China and the Dominican Republic are among those that have been honored by the Lois B. DeFleur International Innovation Fund.
This is the second year of awards from the fund, which was established in 2007 with the $25,000 2007 Harold W. McGraw Prize in Education that was awarded to President Lois B. DeFleur.
"It's an opportunity to provide seed money so people can think creatively about something they can do to enhance their research and subsequently enhance their teaching; provide opportunities for students to do things in other countries; or provide for an infrastructure that enhances international learning," said Katharine Krebs, vice provost for international affairs and director of international programs.
Of 13 applications, three were funded:
• Joyce Ferrario (dean of the Decker School of Nursing), $5,000 to develop a partnership between Decker and the Faculty of Nursing at Universidad Pontifica Maestro Maria in the Dominican Republic.
• Binghamton University Globalistas (BUGS), $5,000 to develop and enhance the University's global Web presence.
• Julie Wang (librarian in the Asian and Asian American Studies Department), $2,500 to strengthen the University's partnership with Beijing Normal University Library.
"The main goal of those looking at the (proposals) is for innovative projects to have features that hold promise for long-lasting effect and/or providing a model that others can follow," Krebs said.
Wang's funding will be used to initiate visits between librarians of both universities to collaborate on the use of technology, collection planning and materials processing. Possible projects include interlibrary loan and cooperation on processing library collections by using the English and Chinese language expertise of both groups.
Ferrario's funding will enable Decker faculty to travel to the Dominican Republic to gain an understanding of the country's health-care delivery system and community health issues. Visits could also identify areas of potential collaboration and help develop the study-abroad program with the Dominican Republic.
"This project is an example of an effort to lay the foundation for a variety of activities," Krebs said. "That foundation has not been in place. Students and faculty have traveled to the Dominican Republic on an ad-hoc basis, little by little. This will provide a foundation to support activities ranging from research to the training of undergraduate nurses."
The Globalistas, a volunteer group of University faculty, staff and students, wants to develop an interactive Web portal that links campus departments, organizations and individuals with an international focus. The proposal, written by Rachel Coker, director of the Office of Research Advancement, includes a calendar of international events on campus and a database featuring international interests and expertise of faculty, staff and students.
"Their notion was that the information about the opportunities on campus was not out there," said Krebs, who added that the group's proposal addressed key questions. "What can be done in a creative and dynamic way in the electronics communications format? What can be done to allow students and faculty to connect with each other and avail themselves of the opportunities?"
Last year's four inaugural award recipients will continue to play a vital role, Krebs said. The winners have been asked to submit reports on their accomplishments and will serve as models for those looking to submit International Innovative Fund proposals.
"We look to the initial winners as individuals to whom we can refer others who have good ideas that maybe they can learn from," Krebs said.

April 23, 2009, Cambridge, MA --- The McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT will present the sixth annual Edward M. Scolnick Prize in Neuroscience to Jeremy Nathans, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and professor of molecular biology and genetics, neuroscience, and opthalmology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Dr. Nathans will deliver the Scolnick Prize lecture entitled "The Evolution of Trichromatic Color Vision" at the McGovern Institute on Monday, April 27, 2009 at 4 pm in the MIT Cognitive Sciences Complex, 43 Vassar Street (building 46, room 3002). The lecture, followed by a reception, is free and open to the public.
The Scolnick Prize is awarded annually by the McGovern Institute to recognize an individual who has made outstanding advances in the field of neuroscience. Nathans will receive the prize for his contributions to the understanding of color vision, brain development, and retinal disease.
"Jeremy Nathans exemplifies the spirit of discovery that we honor through this award," says Robert Desimone, director of the McGovern Institute and chair of the selection committee. "His pioneering work on the mechanism of color vision has led to an extraordinary range of insights into the function and development of the brain, as well as the basis for many forms of human blindness."
In work that he began when he was a graduate student, Nathans solved the mystery of the origin of human color blindness. Using his own DNA, he identified the genes for the three color-sensitive pigment proteins in the human retina. He showed that mutations in these genes cause can lead to different forms of color blindness, and that the red and green pigment genes are on the X-chromosome, which is why red-green color blindness is more common in men than women.
In addition to explaining the molecular basis of color vision, the discovery of these pigment proteins and the related protein rhodopsin was

Setting up email addresses for a custom domain (ie: firstname.lastname@example.com ) is probably the easiest thing you can do to add professionalism to your business, brand, or project. Frankly, if your business email address is email@example.com I can't take you seriously.
There are many ways to do this – most domain registrars offer this as an added, paid service (and generally grossly overcharge). However, this option comes with a few downsides:
Usually, they offer you a mailbox with a tiny amount of storage and a terrible interface, making your only reasonable option fetching the mail into a different client (gmail, thunderbird, outlook, etc) via POP3 or IMAP. This means you aren't getting your mail in real time. Additionally, if you are using a client on your computer or phone to fetch the email directly (instead of a different provider, like gmail), you either have to leave it on their server (and run up on those ridiculously low mailbox limits) or risk only having the email on one of your many devices. Not a good solution.
Moreover, if you have LOTS of domain names, paying $7 a month for each one can add up VERY QUICKLY. I'm currently running email addresses for over 20 domains – there is no way I will pay ~$150/month just to get my email addresses.
Take heart, there is a better way! Setting up your own email server is a snap, assuming you already have a server box running somewhere (if not, maybe it is time to go get one!). I use virtualmin to manage all my servers, so getting procmail and postfix set up is literally done for me. If you are hosting your own site, this process should be just one of the steps in setting that up. However, if you already have a site hosted elsewhere, you can still use virtualmin for your email addresses.
Before you start, you need to decide if you want a mailbox on the server (holds all your mail, you can fetch it using POP3/IMAP or read it on server using various mail tools) or if you just want to forward incoming mail to another address (or both!). For my small projects, I generally forward the email on to my regular gmail account instead of storing the mail on the server. This lets me get my email in real time AND take advantage of gmail's excellent spam filtering. NOTE: if you do this, you MUST tell procmail to NOT modify the message container at all (or add SPAM to the subject line), or gmail will decide YOU are the one sending all that spam and block everything coming from your server. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. Read this for more details.
The first action you need to take is adding a virtual server for your new domain. Add your domain name and hit create. When virtualmin is finished setting up your server, click 'Return to Virtual Server Details'.
Scroll down a bit then click the button for 'Edit Mail Aliases' (click 'Edit Users' if you want to set up a mailbox on the server instead of just forwarding). On the following page, click the link for 'Add an alias to this domain'.
Now, add whatever you want the email address to be to the 'Name' field (the yourname part of firstname.lastname@example.com). If you already are using a mailbox on the server you can check the 'Deliver Locally?' box and add the mailbox name. Check the 'Forward to other address' box and enter the email address where you want this mail to go. There are lots of other options you can use here, like setting up automatic replies or bouncing the mail. Hit 'Create' when you're finished and the server will be set up!
Now, if you email that address, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. What? This is because the internet doesn't magically know that your server is ready to process mail for your domain. To finish this setup, you need to go to your domain registrar and point your MX records at your server. Get your server IP (mine are on Amazon, so I grab the public IP from the AWS console) and put it in a new A record (mine is named mail), then add an MX record pointing to that (mail.yourdomain.com). This will send emails on to your email server without changing your website hosting.
Wait for the changes to propagate across the internet, then send yourself a test email. See, wasn't that easy?

Last evening I went to see Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses
at UC's College-Conservatory of Music. You can read more about
playwright Zimmerman in my column in this week's issue here, and you'll
probably figure out that this is one of my favorite scripts. CCM's drama
program has created a shimmering, playful production that's getting a
brief run (final performance is a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday) at Patricia Corbett Theatre.
Guest director D. Lynn Meyers
took a break from Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati to travel up the hill and
stage this one on the UC campus, and her cast of 18 student performers
wholly embraced this unusual show — which requires a pool of water as
its central design feature. (Water plays a significant and meaningful
role in the retelling of a set of classical myths shaped and recorded by
Ovid two millennia ago.) But Dana Hall's scenic design doesn't stop
with water; it's elemental, with immense hanging slabs of stone that
resonate with the decorative concrete slabs in PCT. Wes Richter's
lighting — it really does shimmer — enhances the stories of characters
changed by circumstances, good intentions and bad decisions, and Kevin
Semancik's sound design brings vivid punctuation to many stories,
including a destructive storm at sea.
Speaking of sound, cellist Jacob Yates, a senior at CCM, composed moody accompaniment that distills the moving emotional essence of each scene; he performs live from stage left as the tales unfold. Amanda Kai Newman's costume designs complete the visual power of the show, whether they are fluttering around the edge of the pool or from a high balcony upstage from which the gods watch and control the mortals — and even when they are sopping wet from action in the variable-depth pool. Much of the action is beautifully choreographed and delivered with confident physicality. All in all, CCM's Metamorphoses is a total theatrical package that's definitely worth seeing. Tickets are likely available if you call quickly: 513-556-4183..
Rounding out the season are several shows with roots in pop culture. The season opens with Dirty Dancing, a musical based on the 1987 movie about a summer vacation in the Catskills that turns into a steamy romance with a lot of choreography. For the holidays, we get another short run aimed at families: Elf: The Musical about an human orphan who ends up as one of Santa's elves, but never quite fits in. It's based on the 2003 film that starred Will Farrell. (Broadway in Cincinnati had good luck last Thanksgiving with a short run of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and this is surely aimed at the same audience.)
Also likely to capture an audience in search of for laughs is the season's concluding production, I Love Lucy: Live On Stage, bringing to life recreations of one of TV's greatest sitcoms with actors portraying Lucy and Ricky Ricardo and Ethel and Fred Mertz. Set in 1952, it lets audiences pretend they're attending the filming of a pair of classic episodes on an L.A. soundstage. It's not a musical, but it has lots of tuneful interludes by Ricky's orchestra at the Tropicana Nightclub, plus '50s style singing commercials.

Lots of plays not previously seen in Cincinnati are good theater choices this weekend:
If I could charter a bus and offer you transportation to Louisville over the next few days to see a production at Actors Theatre, I'd happily do so. I made the drive to see a Sunday matinee of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, "reimagined by The Hypocrites." This zany group of theater artists from Chicago have found contemporary ways to inject new energy into traditional works from Shakespeare to Golden Age musicals. And that's what they've done with Pirates, a show that was a silly musical hit in the 1880s on both sides of the Atlantic.
I caught the opening night of the Cincinnati Playhouse's production of Clybourne Park
last night. The play won the theater triple crown: Tony for best play
on Broadway, Olivier for best play in London, and the 2011 Pulitzer
Prize for drama. It's being staged by a lot of big theaters this season,
but you need go no farther than Mount Adams to see what all the fuss is
about. And there is a ton of fussing in Bruce Norris's script. He took
his inspiration from the events of Lorraine Hansberry's historic 1959
play A Raisin in the Sun, the story of a black family seeking to improve its lot by buying a home — in a previously all-white neighborhood. Clybourne Park's
first act looks at the same events from the neighborhood's perspective;
Act II jumps ahead 50 years to the same neighborhood, deteriorated but
coming back. Curiously enough — or is it predictably? — many of the
stresses and strains have only moved from one set of people to another.
Norris's clever script subtly presents parallels and contrasts, with
some humor and some pathos, and a sardonic sense that human nature is
what it is. The Playhouse does a great job with a cast that plays
different roles (some slightly connected from past to present) and a
revolving set that recreates the house at 406 Clybourne in Chicago in
1959 and 2009. This production will spur lots of thoughtful and spirited
conversation. Onstage through Feb. 16. Tickets: 513-421-3888.
Pluto at Know Theatre is being staged by former artistic director Jason Bruffy. Steve Yockey's unusual script blurs the line between real life and mythology, as weird events materialize in a suburban kitchen, what with a talking three-headed dog and other unusual phenomena getting in the way of necessary dialogue between a mom and her sullen son. It opens tonight and runs through Feb. 22. Tickets: 513-300-5669.
Last weekend I drove out through Mariemont to the Walton Creek Playhouse where Mariemont Players has assembled a thoroughly enjoyable production of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music, a show once described as "whipped cream with knives." The theater, an old schoolhouse, has an intimate performing space, a perfect setting for this tale of mixed-up couples in early-20th-century Sweden. The show, simply and effectively staged by Skip Fenker, revolves around a free-spirited but aging actress who eventually sings "Send in the Clowns," Sondheim's best-known tune. The Sunday matinee I attended was all but sold out, so you should call in advance for a reservation: 513-684-1236. Onstage through Jan. 26.
If you're looking for some outstanding acting, you should definitely head to Cincinnati Shakespeare and watch Brent Vimtrup play the title role in Hamlet. He plays the role of the indecisive Prince of Denmark, pointed toward vengeance but filled with doubt. Vimtrup uses an expressive physicality and natural insight that makes long-familiar speeches ("To be or not to be," "What a rogue and peasant slave am I" and more) feel fresh and new. He's onstage for most of the three-and-a-half hour production, a highly watchable marathon. Tickets: 513-381-2273 x 1. Through Jan. 26.
Truth to tell, midnight has already passed and Victorian adventurer Phileas Fogg thinks he's missed the deadline for getting "around the world in 80 days." But his faithful servant Passepartout (played with manic energy by the always amusing Michael G. Bath) saves the day by sorting out travel across time zones. Your deadline has not quite passed, since Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati's inventive staging of a musical version of Jules Verne's classic Around the World in 80 Days continues through a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. (CityBeat review here.) If football and cold weather aren't your preferences, maybe you should head to the Over-the-Rhine theater for a final volley of holiday entertainment. Tickets: 513-421-3555.
At the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park you'll find the traditional Christmas favorite A Christmas Carol as well as The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) onstage through Sunday. It feels a bit odd to be watching Scrooge and the ghosts after Christmas Day, but the Playhouse's rendition is such a lovely show and Bruce Cromer's portrait of the old miser is so entertaining that you'll be charmed, I'm sure. And the Reduced Shakespeare guys doing the "comedy" piece know how to evoke laughter from the making of jokes in ways you haven't imagined. They're the guys who originated this amusing formula with The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), and they're making it work with this world premiere production. It's a nice bit of entertainment for a weekend between the holidays. Tickets: 513-421-3888.
Holiday themed laughs are being served up at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company through Sunday, too, with their eighth annual presentation of Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and then some). No Shakespeare in evidence (although they're performing on the gussied-up set that was built for the previous production, Twelfth Night) but four of CSC's best comic talents are mashing up every imaginable tale you might think of that has a holiday connection — Charlie Brown, Charles Dickens, Rudolph, the Nutcracker, It's a Wonderful Life and many more. They'll have you laughing from start to finish, especially if you make a stop by the bar in the lobby beforehand. Not for the kids, but a lot of fun for anyone with an adolescent sense of humor. Tickets: 513-381-2273 x 1.
If you want a nice outing for the kids, I recommend Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati's holiday show, Around the World in 80 Days. Jules Verne's adventure classic about a hectic circumnavigation of the globe in 1899 has been musicalized and condensed in a way that children will enjoy it — but there's enough humor and talent onstage to keep adults entertained, too. ETC'S production actually runs through the weekend after New Year's Day, but if the kids are restless and you want to entertain them with live theater, this is a great choice. Tickets: 513-421-3555.
Happy theatergoing!
It's the final weekend for most holiday shows, and there are lots of good choices. I'm ranking today's listings according to the laugh-o-meter, starting with the most hilarious:
It's Friday the 13th, but if you're in the mood for holiday shows, this is your lucky weekend. Just about every theater in town has something onstage aimed at getting you into the Christmas spirit, making you laugh, diverting you from the stress of being cheerful or just poking fun at the ways of the world (at least the world of commercialism we see in America today).
Perhaps you've already done your annual brush-up on Dickens' A Christmas Carol
at the Playhouse (another fine production, now in its 23rd season with
Bruce Cromer back as Scrooge and a new interpretation of Bob Cratchit,
featuring the very angular Ryan Wesley Gilreath, who seems to be all
arms and legs and stringy hair — very Dickensian) or the musical version
being presented by Covedale Center. With the story of Scrooge's dark
night of the soul fresh in mind, perhaps you're ready for A Klingon Christmas Carol,
presented by Hugo West Theatricals at the Art Academy of Cincinnati
(1212 Jackson St., Over-the-Rhine). This is a newish theater group that
knows its way around satirical work (their Don't Cross the Streams, a goofy derivative of Ghostbusters,
was a popular piece in the 2012 Fringe festival), they are giving this
unusual piece its local premiere. (It's been staged in Chicago and
Minneapolis.) It's actually a rather faithful retelling of the story
with SQuja' (Donald Volpenheim), a cowardly, money-grubbing member of
Star Trek's warrior race, taking the place of Scrooge.
It's presented by a deadpan Vulcan narrator (Lauren Carr) who positions the work as the "original" of the tale. Klingons don't celebrate Christmas, but they are bound by traditions, the greatest of them being the "Feast of the Long Night." The 70-minute piece closely matches with Scrooge's story, but it's all through a Klingon filter — lots of angry outbursts and hearty laughter, grunting, growling, drinking and chest-thumping by characters with wrinkled foreheads, bushy eyebrows and fierce demeanors. Eileen Earnest handles timHom (a Muppet-like equivalent for Tiny Tim), son of Quachit (David Dreith), whose training as a warrior is being neglected because of greedy SQuja'. If you've never yearned for a visit to Qo'noS, the Klingon homeworld, you might find this production a bit impenetrable since it's performed in the guttural Klingon language, but there are projected subtitles that add humor to the action. This won't be a show for everyone, but if you're a Star Trek fan, you'll have a good time. Tickets ($20 at the door or here).

About the Muhlenberg Library
Opened in 1906, the Muhlenberg Library is one of the 65 branches built from funds given to New York City by Andrew Carnegie. Designed by esteemed architects Carrere and Hastings, the library has served the Chelsea area for nearly a century. The branch—an elegant three-story, brick and limestone structure—is named for William Augustus Muhlenberg, the first rector of Chelsea's Church of the Holy Communion. As rector, he donated many books to the Free Circulating Library, which later became part of The New York Public Library.
In 2000, when the branch was renovated through the Library's Adopt-a-Branch program, care was taken to preserve the historic character of the building. The refurbished branch has adult and young adult areas on the main floor; a children's room with a story-hour space on the second floor; and, on the third floor, a community room for public programs and meetings. The branch is fully accessible to wheelchairs. An audio induction loop and FM assistive listening devices are available in the 3rd floor community room for people with hearing loss.

Absolutely impressed! The staff was very professional and friendly. We received a warm welcome upon arrival. My girls were very excited to see the entertainment section! I was surprised by the tour because I have never experienced that in any medical/dental facility. My girls said "Ms. Rachel was caring, nice, and friendly." I didn't feel any pressure to get braces for my kiddos. I felt I was advised by Dr. Lowe with what was in the best interest of my girls and I really appreciate that! Thanks!

I was certainly lucky to live in the Fresno area when I decided to get Invisalign. There is no better orthodontist in the world than Dr. Lowe; he is extremely knowledgeable, very professional and always talks to me about the Chargers whenever I come into the office. Each and every member of his staff is top-notch; they are always friendly and call me by my first name, even when my appointment is at the end of the day and I know that they are as tired as I am. When I look at the photos of my teeth when I first came in and look at them now, the difference is astounding. I used to smile with my mouth closed because I was ashamed of my teeth, but I no longer do that. Today, I'm proud to show off my new smile and my self-confidence has risen to a new level. Everyone in Dr. Lowe's office is fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone and have done so on numerous occasions. Thanks to all of you for your terrific work and your wonderful friendliness.

I've been a patient for a number if years with Invisalign braces. From the first visit, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The office is amazing -- clean, modern, inviting and high tech. The staff is as friendly and professional as any I've encountered. Dr. Lowe takes his time with each patient, is thorough and explains everything about the procedure or process you're going thru. He's also a very nice guy. I can't recommend this practice enough.

My son has been going to see Dr. Mark Lowe and his staff for 6 months now and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the results so far. I wish Dr. Lowe had been my orthodontist when I was a kid because this is much more fun for my son than it ever was for me. In fact I'm considering getting follow up work based on the results I see with my son so far. The staff is incredible and you can tell they really like working there. Top notch all the way around.

This is an impressive chart, it seems to me. It's an update on European countries' progress in meeting their Kyoto goals of reducing carbon emissions to below their levels in 1990. All the major economies have succeeded, with Britain and Germany leading the pack:
Germany and Britain have cut their carbon emissions by more than a fifth. Brad Plumer throws some cold water on the numbers:
A big chunk of those cuts is typically ascribed to two factors. Germany saw a huge one-time drop in emissions after reunification, since a bunch of inefficient power plants and factories in the East closed down. The United Kingdom, meanwhile, made a massive switch from coal to electric gas in the 1990s after its electricity industry was privatized. That made a big difference, since those two countries are Europe's biggest emitters. But neither of those events are likely to repeat themselves.
Some of Europe's emissions have been outsourced to developing countries, which doesn't help the global situation. But some of this is real. The whole EU has cut carbon by 16 percent below 1990 levels under Kyoto. The US, which never ratified Kyoto, has seen a rise of around 15 percent. China's emissions have gone through the roof. A lot is fucked up in Europe, but they're way ahead of us on climate change. In a century from now, I wonder what people will recall as the real failures of our time.

Enrolment serves as a vital part in the life of every student upon entering schools or universities, either public or in private. It gives students the impression on how the whole institute manages and manipulate the entire body. Moreover, enrolment serves as the first experience of all students by which he/she takes part either individually or with company of a parent or some relatives. Enrolment is considered as the first step or procedure that must be done by old students within a particular institute before the semester per school year totally starts, but for those freshmen, or first year students (new students), they are obliged to usually take an admission test, to know and assess them the right course to engage to, followed by a scheduled interview in order to give them brief instructions and information about certain issues with regards to the school's policies, institutional programs as well as personal information, health, economic status, so on and so forth. Good enrolment is always an asset in a university, pertaining to fast payment, assessment procedures, and easy transactions with a high rate of accuracy. Therefore, good enrolment within the university, if present, can be described as civilize, organize, accurate and professional. Background of the Study
During enrolment, it is undeniably noticeable on some problems and difficulties arising from each respective procedure, hence leading to minor errors and inaccuracy. In college, known as tertiary level, University Administration Officers with the help of the Office of the Student Affairs (OSA) make the enrolment procedure. Hence, they are the one who are responsible with this matter, and the one who could allegedly change the process whenever enrolment perplexity occurs. Enrolment is more than just a word itself, because for others, it means sacrifice, hunger, dilemma, waste of time, effort and money, knowing that after a couple of days or...

HANCOCK – Due to high occurrences of illness to children in the area, the Portage Health Family Birthing Center will be temporarily closed to visiting children.
Although we recognize the inconvenience of this necessary and temporary change in policy, the change in visitation is effective immediately and is being put in place to protect the health of our newborns. This is effective for children under the age of 12, and anybody experiencing any respiratory illness symptoms.
Healthy adults are still allowed to enter the birthing center during regular visiting hours (daily, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.), but until Portage Health officials feel the number of local illnesses is significantly lowered, children will not be allowed to enter.

Economy & Jobs
The SNP is committed to creating jobs and opportunities for Scots old and new. We believe that Scotland can and should be more successful, and we will continue to argue for the Scottish Parliament to have new job creating powers. We realise Scotland's potential and have continued to invest in our traditional industries like science, innovation and engineering, while at the same time promoting new emerging sectors like renewables, the creative sector and life-sciences. Continuing to support job creation will be one of the central tasks of government in the years ahead, creating a fertile environment for business growth. We have already shown our commitment to small businesses which truly are the backbone to a strong and stable economy. Our Small Business Bonus scheme has benefited almost 80,000 small and medium sized businesses across the country. As well as businesses we know our responsibility is to protect Scottish families in these difficult times. That is why we have frozen Council tax for every year we have been in Government and have committed to doing so for the rest of this Parliament. Scotland's got what it takes to prosper in the years ahead and it is our responsibility as Scotland's Party and Scotland's Government to deliver.
Our Vision for Scotland's Economy
Creating more jobs here in Scotland is a top priority for the SNP. Our policies include:
Supporting Scotland's Small Businesses - We will protect the Small Business Bonus, ensuring £450 million of support for the small businesses that form the lifeblood of local economies. The small business bonus has saved jobs in the downturn and create jobs in the recovery.
Action on Youth Unemployment - We will provide support for 125,000 modern apprenticeships over the lifetime of the Parliament and a commitment that every 16-19 year old in Scotland not in work, part of a Modern Apprenticeship scheme or receiving education is offered a learning or training opportunity.
Growing the Green Economy - Scotland is leading the world in offshore renewable technologies and the SNP will continue to support the rapid growth of this sector. The National Renewables Infrastructure Fund will help leverage private investment into Renewables, part of over £200 million of investment in Renewables.
Improve Connectivity - we will invest in the electrification of the central Scotland rail network, reducing journey times between Glasgow and Edinburgh to just over 30 minutes. And our plans include the rapid expansion of high-speed broadband so Scots can take full advantage of our new digital age.
Protecting family budgets - At a time of inflation, higher VAT and sky-high fuel prices we will continue to protect family budgets here in Scotland by freezing the Council Tax. We have also removed prescription charges, saving people with long-term health conditions £180.

For technology lovers, today'sbusiness jet cabin is a wonderland, offering everything from moving-map displays with satellite photos to in-flight use of a BlackBerry. And every time you think you've seen it all, along comes another innovation-often for less money than you paid for the product it replaces.

The transition from office or home to the cabin of a private aircraft should be effortless and comfortable. With that in mind, designers and engineers continue to seek ways to make business jet cabins as plush and inviting as the environments you've come to appreciate on the ground.

Granted, it's relatively slow for a jet and has limited range. But the 328JET is also a modern, fuel-efficient aircraft with a roomy cabin that climbs quickly and can land on short runways. Plus, it's priced about equal to-or in some cases even less than-what you'd pay for a new turboprop. if it fits your typical missions, it's a model you really ought to consider.
April 1, 2008
If you fly often via business jet charter, you know that the peak travel days sprinkled throughout the calendar can mean a limited choice of aircraft as well as price increases. But a little planning can go a long way toward minimizing both drawbacks.

Ferry fees have always been part of fractional flying. Now, however, some fractional providers have made changes to their programs that substantially reduce-if not eliminate-the fees for their owners. As a result, these owners enjoy expanded ferry-fee-free travel horizons, and the other fractional providers' may find they need to respond in kind.

You probably don't give much thought to the windows in your airplane's cabin. With the tasteful interiors and all the office and entertainment amenities available on private aircraft today, the windows might seem as though they exist solely to shed natural sunlight on the hand-rubbed rosewood finish of the pop-up computer desk.
April 1, 2008
The very light jet industry wasn't exactly flying high last year. A major supplier told me last summer that he expected half of all VLJ makers to fold soon. By the end of 2007, he looked clairvoyant; first the Aviation Technology Group suspended work on the two-seat Javelin and then, early in 2008, after sputtering for almost two years, Adam Aircraft shut its doors.

BUFFALO, NY -- The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority has named a new executive director.
Kimberley Minkel will start immediately. Minkel previously worked as the NFTA's director of health, safety, and environmental quality.

The NFTA controls the region's airports, buses, and metro system, and owns a significant portion of land on Buffalo's outer harbor waterfront.
2 On Your Side asked Minkel about her plans for the land.
REPORTER: The NFTA owns a lot of land around the outer harbor. When are we actually going to start seeing much of that starting to be developed?
MINKEL: Well, that's something we're working on now. We're taking a lot at. We need to remember there is environmental issues with much of that property. And that's something that we're looking at very closely.
REPORTER: Is it possible some of that land could be turned over to the group now that is working on developing the waterfront?
MINKEL: We're reviewing all options and we're keeping all options open.

Record low temperatures in Wisconsin over the weekend, forced residents to bundle up for a little summer fun.
It's almost August in central Wisconsin, but it certainly didn't feel like it this weekend.
Kathy Volz and her husband headed home after a weekend in the Northwood's.
Despite the chilly and windy weather, they both wanted ice cream.
But her raspberry sundae came with a compromise.
Forecasters say at least twelve cities in central and eastern Wisconsin broke records for their lowest daytime high temperatures for July 27th.
Some smashing records in place for nearly a century!
At Nine Mile Forest, cyclists say the cold didn't stop the final day of the Wausau 24 bike race.
Many added extra layers to stay warm for the marathon ride.
Racers and spectators huddled around campfires all weekend.
Organizers say in the event's history--That's a first.
For people wanting a warmer place to go, shopping was another option.
But even with the cooler temperatures mall workers say it was a slow weekend.
A surprisingly cool weekend these people say they won't forget.
Just to give you some perspective, forecasters say this time of year, the average high in Wausau is around 80-degrees.

Ale-Braised Sausages and Red Cabbage
Any sausage can be used for this recipe. Kielbasa is already cooked, so only brief warming would be needed. If using it, cut into 2-inch pieces, cook over medium heat until browned and heated through, then add it to the cabbage during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 4 large or 8 small German sausages, about 1 lb. total
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp. caraway seeds
- 1/2 small head red cabbage, cored and shredded
- 1 cup amber ale
- 2 Tbs. malt vinegar
- 2 Tbs. chopped fresh dill (optional)
Brown the sausages and onion
In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sausages and brown, turning once or twice, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a plate.
Add the onion to the pan, reduce the heat to medium and sauté until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the caraway seeds and then the cabbage. Return the sausages and any juices from the plate to the pan.
Braise the sausages and cabbage
Stir in the ale and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the dill. Divide the cabbage and sausages among individual plates and serve immediately. Serves 4.

Relocating wildlife sounds like a humane alternative to a nuisance animal problem (i.e. "I'll trap this raccoon and take him to Mt. Tam where he'll be happy and wild"), but it is illegal in California and this is for good reason.
Studies show that more than 75% of relocated animals die within their first year in their new "home." Relocation sentences the relocated animal to a slow death by starvation because
he doesn't know where to find food, shelter or water and/or infection
and injury from being attacked by the local population defending their
It can spread diseases and parasites to populations that did not have them before and can overpopulate areas that cannot sustain additional animals being deposited there, leading to illness and starvation.
And of course, if the trapped animal is a nursing female, her babies will be orphaned to starve to death.
Remember: relocation is not humane! Solve your nuisance wildlife problem effectively, humanely and permanently by calling our WildCare Solutions service at 415-453-1000 x23
Update September 26, 2012
Unfortunately and unexpectedly, Governor Jerry Brown vetoed this bill. Check back for our next steps to try to enforce humane treatment of urban wildlife.
Update September 2012
This bill passed the Assembly floor on Aug. 23 and passed the Senate floor a second time on Aug. 27, and now it is headed to the governor's office.Update June 2012
This bill passed the Senate floor and the Assembly Water Parks and Wildlife Committee. It will be heard next in Assembly Appropriations Committee, if passed, it will go to a full Assembly floor vote. Contact your state Assemblymember and urge him or her to vote yes on SB1480. Find your legislator here.
Update April 10, 2012
25 supporters took a bus to Sacramento on Tuesday, April 10 to show our support for SB 1480 at the California State Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee hearing. Despite some opposition, the bill passed with the needed five votes, and will be moving on to the Assembly next. Stay tuned for next steps in our efforts to advocate for this important legislation!
Senate Bill 1480 helps protect consumers when hiring a wildlife trapper and prohibits the most inhumane wildlife trapping practices.
BackgroundCurrent law requires wildlife trappers who charge a fee to obtain a California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) trapping license. In approving this law, the Legislature intended to provide consumers and wildlife with protection from unscrupulous trappers. However, DFG has yet to adopt regulations to fully implement this law. Further, due to understaffing related to our current budget shortfalls, state wardens cannot provide adequate oversight. While cities and counties document hundreds of trapping violations annually, DFG enforcement cited only six wildlife trappers in 2009.Today, in the absence of regulations, California consumers have no way of confirming whether a perspective trapper is licensed. Consumers are often charged for services that are unrelated to their property damage, including paying trappers to kill animals that are not responsible for property damage. "Nuisance" or "pest control" trappers are licensed to trap and destroy only animals that damage property.
Bad-acting trappers cause thousands of animals to suffer and die needlessly each year. Inhumane methods are used to kill wildlife, including drowning and chest crushing. Lethal traps that are prohibited for recreation or fur trapping cause non-targeted animals including pets to be killed. Young animals are frequently orphaned when their mothers are trapped and killed because reasonable precautions aren't taken to prevent this. These practices are cruel and unnecessary. They can and should be prohibited. SolutionSB 1480 would significantly reduce the number of animals that are needlessly killed and orphaned at consumer expense. Consumers will be better protected from unscrupulous and illegal business practices. Specifically, SB 1480:
