Holiday survival tips
General hints
- Approach holiday eating sensibly. Concentrate on how good you will feel if you don't overeat
- Aim to maintain your weight; don't use the holidays as an excuse to put on weight
- No matter how busy you are, schedule exercise in. If you can't find a 30-minute block of time, exercise for 15 minutes twice a day or 10 minutes 3 times a day
- Get enough sleep each night. Fatigue lowers dietary self-control and can lead to cravings for sweets, caffeine and fatty foods
- Don't skip meals, even on a party day or holiday. People who skip meals often end up overeating the next time they eat
- Allow yourself a small portion of a treat every once in awhile and be satisfied with that. People who do this tend to stay on track with healthy eating habits better
- If you overeat, don't give up. Learn from your mistakes and develop a plan for the next time
- Try not to buy bags of holiday candy, chocolate and other goodies, especially if you don't have self-control with these foods. If you do buy them, keep them out of sight until the actual holiday instead of putting them in candy dishes
Just one bite – what each nibble means
Party time
- Don't go to a party ravenously hungry. Eat something light before you go to take the edge off of your hunger
- PLAN AHEAD! Decide in advance what and how much you are going to eat and then stick with it. Offer to bring a healthy dish to pass
- Scan the buffet or selection of food choices. Fill your plate with healthier foods and then choose a small portion of a couple other higher fat or higher calorie food items
- Don't stand near the buffet table. Move away as soon as you have filled your plate
- If you are invited for cocktails, arrive fashionably late. That way you'll eat and drink less
- Mingle! The more your mouth is involved in conversation, the less it is involved in eating
- Keep alcohol to just a few drinks. Alcohol doesn't have fat, but it does have tons of empty calories, which add up quickly. Alcohol also tends to lower inhibitions and impair judgment of food choices. (Check with your doctor or pharmacist for possible reactions between alcohol and your medications. If you have diabetes and are on insulin or certain diabetes pills, monitor your blood sugar.)
- Alternate alcoholic drinks with water or diet soda
It is possible to follow a healthy eating plan in all situations, even during the holidays when there are more temptations than usual.
Remember: No one can do it for you; you must do it for yourself!

Provision Arrestor
March 16
With addition of a couple slabs of wood, strategically placed, to inhibit irrational exuberance of refreshment crates, cartons and cases, boat is within striking distance of navigating vast chunks of ocean. By way of a little recreational kvetching, will be heartily glad to do just that and bid adios to Panama. It's been interesting, occasionally beautiful and certainly symbolizes a milestone, but has also represented more work than fun. Itchy feet require new horizons with greener pastures and... well, there's a metaphor in there somewhere. As an aside, if you plan to come this way, learning Spanish would be a fine use of time.
Besides applying organizational skills to secrete items where they will never again be recovered, have attempted to find and catalog weather and navigational resources available via HF radio just in case being surprised loses it's charm. However intriguing, an unexpected and protracted calm, for example, seems rather remote while attached to the bottom near a city, but, somehow, lurking somewhere deep in the sub-conscious, resides the idea that it wouldn't be half the fun one might presume. Avoiding murder of an albatross, while poetic, might be insufficient.
Redux of last Wednesday's escapade with dim sum, hardware, chandlery and groceries (where minimum purchases are this time contemplated) plus possible pass by PakYa Panama shipper to take possession of wind instrument spare will occupy tomorrow. Previously conveyed plan for next ten days is still in play. Hope 'play' isn't just a figure of speech. The play's the thing, but what was the 'thing'? Involved murder, but not of a gooney bird.
March 15
Crews flying the Pacific referred to Japan as the land of no plan "B". No problem here as we ran out of letters while down-locking. Advisors were conferring, debating and communicating on their UHF radios as plans changed literally by the minute. Three ship, two ship, center lock, tied to a tug. We twice attached to lock walls awaiting a ship and its tug, onto which, as it then moved ahead, we tied one side then the other. Fortunately, crew on other boat was less lackadaisical than day before.
Upon arrival at La Playita, Whoosh made a pass by Anthem to which, with cat-like grace, I leapt to re-discover the apparent after-effects of a tornado in her saloon. After contemplating that catastrophe for awhile and attempting to reconfigure Airmail from failed transmission attempt with Jack T's SSB, retired to his boat to retrieve stuff, swill rum and fail miserably, but with great pleasure, to reconcile my political philosophy with his experienced reality.
Tuesday will end in success with disappearance of all provisions, awash below decks, into, under or behind some form of restraint from which it can eventually be recovered in much the same condition as last seen. Initial assessment of likelihood is discouraging, but will, to quote Chief Dan George in "The Outlaw Josie Wales", "endeavor to persevere".
Approaching Gatun Locks
March 14
Typically, 1300 schedule to receive advisor was slid back to 1545, so Whoosh departed Shelter Bay for 'flats' waiting area at 1400. Advisor showed at 1630, but then events progressed apace. Arrived in Gatun Lake just at dark after something of a goat rope that looked more like Keystone Cops than a well oiled machine, but everyone spent the night content in the knowledge that all were safe and undamaged. More to follow, probably, whenever feasible.
Jack T has been explaining many services of Ham winlink system (which I've squandered strictly on abusing friends and the unsuspecting with bloggage) including a multitude of available surface condition data. It might be supposed, at first blush, that having wind, wave and cyclone forecasts could be handy, but where's the adventure, the challenge, the joie de vivre from being surprised every day? Did Magellan have this stuff? Did he get killed before completing his circumnavigation? Oh wait, that was a bad thing. Well, it wasn't weather related. His boat and some of the crew got back, so there.
Tentatively planning to visit friend Guy Callahan in Bocas del Toro next weekend, so departure from Panama would occur ensuing Wednesday. This assumes all boat parts arrive prior and nothing breaks and I'm OK and weather is OK and aliens don't initiate a long contemplated plan to remove all planet water to replenish their home world (that's a secret, so mums the word) and... Hey, it's virtually certain. As I have been cleared out of the country for last two weeks, probably ought to bail before various authorities take notice. Wonder how the food is in local prison? Galapagos will probably believe I've been becalmed en route for three weeks, right?
Whoosh Crew
March 13
Most everything encased in metal, except drinks, is stored securely. Six 2 liter bottles of Sprite have found themselves in bilge with head hose. A fastidious washing will proceed all partaking therefrom (ought to be a real word, but probably not). Canned drinks will live under dinette with some sort of proper restraint (he said confidently) not yet devised.
Returning to the Caribbean was relatively painless as all modes of transport operated as advertised. Taxi - reasonable without haggling. Bus to Colon - on time. Shelter Bay shopping bus - also on time. Checked to confirm location was still Panama. Inventory of comestibles, recently performed, indicated provisioning close to complete, but a few gaps, e.g. chunky peanut better and Fig Newtons, were filled during planned Rey Supermarket stop.
Patricia made dinner on Whoosh and induced rest of line handling crew, an Aussie couple (egregiously young and attractive), to stay. These guys sailed from UK after living there two years and will continue to Oz on a 27 foot Cascade. So, what were you doing at 30?
"By the time I'd grown up, I naturally supposed that I'd be grown up." - Eve Babitz
March 12
Inventory of provisions, requiring evacuation of all food lockers, recommenced this morning with no concept of where it will all ultimately hide. Sole (floor, Cal) under dinette will have to suffice for some. Have visions of tuna cans launching through port-lights in a blow. Just what can go in the bilge where head hoses travel? Thinking of somewhere else for bread and teabags. All is a quandary to be fathomed (a little nautical lingo) in due course. Is a solved problem soluted? Perhaps a rum and coke will provide inspiration.
Jackster in Las Perlas, Inspiration Lady and Bristol Rose may go tomorrow. Can't wait to find a calm anchorage over there as Playita rolls like a drunken sailor. Trick is to get just drunk enough to synchronize.
Will be bussing to Colon (way better than Slouching to Gomorrah) tomorrow noonish to position for second sail across Continental divide. Jack & Patricia will bring their Pearson 424 (two companionway model) to the rockin', rollin' Pacific Sunday/Monday. Don't get those hopes up, but limited bloggage may result.
"The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us." - Quentin Crisp
Sounds quite erudite at first reading until you realize it makes no sense.
Mi Ranchito
March 11
Two months in Panama? Not possible. I mean, it was just New Years in Cartagena about, what... couple of weeks... no?... ummmm... Dang!!! Where'd the time go? Expect another 6 days here, at least. Also, wish to admit a minor faux pas. Next destination after Las Perlas will remain predominantly Spanish speaking. It's the one after that with the lilting, mellifluous articulation.
Met good friends at Mi Ranchito to celebrate birthday for Jackie of "Inspiration Lady". Gary & she (married for freaking ever) are the guys who built their boat from scratch over 23 years. Presented her with used novel, lollipop and this limerick:
There once was a lady named Jackie Who married a guy, very wacky. He promised a yacht And that's what she got, But to make her build it was horribly tacky.
They're Canadian and so fun to tweak, but all in all, and despite his lust for Clamato juice (it's a particularly Canadian sickness), delightful folk. In fact, any jingoist tendencies one might be encumbered with will quickly dissipate while cruising. Acquainted with Germans, Dutch, French, Welsh (not really English), South Africans, Scandinavians, etc. Best friends are Canadian, English and Australian. Can't imagine a more interesting group of misfits.
Tentative plan (if you believe this, you might crave a certain bridge in NY): Enjoy helping "Whoosh" through Canal - Sunday and Monday (most likely bit), retrieve parts from PakYa Panama on Tuesday (least likely bit), depart for Las Perlas on Wednesday or Thursday, depart for Galapagos on Monday, 22 March, commune with sea lions (rather stinky beasts I'm told) before April Fool's Day for perhaps 20 days. You will know anon. Galapagos: By all accounts, one of the most interesting spots on the planet. If I know you (or possibly not) and you wish to visit (since Fitz & Angela have demurred) please initiate contact. Unlikely you will be disappointed.
PS This was way too wordy. Sorry.
Panama Sailing School
March 10
After early quarter mile walk to sit outside Panama Sailing School (most reliable wifi site) for third download of Sailmail (XPworld is happy again), met the usual suspects at Hung Dong (something like that) Chinese in mid-town Panama for dim sum (sign actually read dim son, perhaps for an idiot offspring although there was little evidence of cannibalism).
Rest of day consisted in stops at hardware, Abernathy chandlery, Mega Depot (large lots) and Riba Smith (grocery). Since heavy shopping was not anticipated, spent a paltry $675.33. The others, tapering off after previous days of running amok, were slightly lower. Concept is that cheap supplies here will last through expensive islands to Australia. Yes, but where do it go?
Some will run over to Las Perlas, on Saturday, for 7 to 10 day change of scene before returning here to retrieve parts from PakYa Panama freight forwarder. I will again be yachting across the continent this weekend, helping handle lines for Jack & Patricia on "Whoosh". Should be back on Monday when all ordered bits will have arrived... Stretching that "hope over experience" concept to its limit? I'm an optimistic guy! May head for The Pearls next week, assuming aforementioned 'hope' thing is realized, then keep going until spoken to en Francais.
"The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised." - George F. Will
Racor Fuel/Water Separators
March 9
Noticed a loose prong on boat's shore power socket. After removing the thing, discovered backside was fried. Possible cause of charger/inverter failure? Local chandlery had one (only one) for a not-quite-outrageous price (Marinco thinks highly of their stuff). Since new one is, of course, slightly different, several tool lockers were emptied to accomplish minor surgery.
While removing corrosion encrusted plug from short 3-wire cable to longer one that can reach above mentioned outlet from Honda generator, it broke. Trip to hardware is envisioned. Dubious beginning to day and then:
Do NOT attempt honesty with Microsoft. Nothing good can come of it. After receiving several requests to protect myself by participating in the "Genuine Advantage" program, finally clicked the "Yes, please check my OS then mash me like a bug under the full weight of the Evil Empire button". They decided that my copy of Window XP "may" not be genuine. It use to be! When attempting to reinstall, the computer hung in a perpetual setup loop. Would a snapshot before beginning have helped? Yes. Was it done?... Anyway, have now re-returned to Jan. 20 for another round of updating. Luckily expertise has been gained in exactly that procedure and an invaluable temporary lesson has been learned until forgotten. Aside: Why do valuable and invaluable, like flammable and inflammable, mean the same thing?
Ready for the good news? Yeah, me too! Oh wait, there is some. Very unexpectedly found and installed an elbow fitting for parallel Racor filter installation at the other, smaller, marine store in vicinity. Specialized fittings arriving next Monday, he avers confidently, will finally get that rascal operational after only 10 months.
Everything considered, after all the kerfuffle, not an awful day. Sun hasn't gone supernova, aliens haven't induced mass hallucinations (probably) and this little segment of the planet, despite downside potential, ended up nearly a wash.
Speaking of which, the shower awaits.
March 8
Wooncha know, it was a simple matter, after reformatting the indisposed drive, of dragging movies back to it from the temporary unit. No obvious reason that reverse shouldn't have worked, but then, it's a computer. All is right in Macland except for any SSB communication since 1/20.
Spent much of day buying items out with which I could not live, including, but not limited to, another pair of sunglasses and holders for soap and toothbrush. Albrook Mall, across from main bus terminal, is one big mother. Not quite Mall of America or West Edmonton, but bunion achingly large with additional similarity that most patrons talk funny.
Decided to indulge pizza lust tonight while dashing out this blarney. 12 inch Tropical with ham, cheese, several fruits and maraschino cherries. No anchovies. Delicious.
Stiff breeze last three days has made for tempestuous anchorages, but inspired wind generated tumescence of wazoo (reference may be a tad obscure for newer readers)(divined naughty intent due choice of vocabulary is strictly in the readers mind). Nights are past cool requiring sheet and blanket pulled to chin avoiding hypothermia. Highs are down to high 80s and lows around 77. Feels like winter. Please, no sympathy cards as mail delivery is altogether haphazard.
"Things are more like they are now than they have ever been." - Gerald R. Ford
Just No Drive
March 7
External hard drive is now read-only due, probably, to someone yanking plug before unmounting. Glad it wasn't me... Oh wait, it was. No problem as it is a backup and can be erased and reformatted. Unfortunately, there are also 19 movies on it. No problem as I can borrow a drive, copy files and reinstall. Not so fast there sparky! Different formats. Won't continue with ugly details, but attempt to increase space on internal drive for multi-stage transfer, reverted to January 20 with all after lost. Emails, sent and received, updates and entire Sailmail system, kaput. Muttonhead mistake wasted much of afternoon into evening on reconstruction as yet unfinished.
Additional diversion was derived from arranging to have second, unordered and expensive wind instrument sent back to JTH Marine Electronics before forwarder ships it out from Miami. For those interested, also added a few pictures to blog with more to follow.
Today's aspiration to piety sadly came a cropper. Although no ice cream was ingested (line was too long) and acceptable sorrow was felt, work was, nevertheless, done... attempted. I feel so dirty. Must now abjure slightest implication of toil for at least a full day. Toss me a Balboa, I'm beginning to feel better.

text: Kathleen Turner returns to the stage 16 Apr 2014 Kathleen Turner is famed for her roles in Hollywood classics including Body Heat and Romancing The Stone, but the US actress has been speaking to This Morning about her return to the stage in London's West End. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The 60-year-old is no stranger to the theatre is once again treading the boards in new play Bakersfield Mist.She portrays the role of unemployed bartender Maude who thinks her luck has come in when she believes a painting she bought could be a genuine Jackson Pollock that is worth millions.And while she may be better known in front of the camera, Turner says she feels at home on the stage."I started out in theatre," she told Eamonn and Ruth. "I was on Broadway long before I was on camera."But her life changed very quickly in the 80s when Body Heat was released worldwide and catapulted her to international fame.She admitted: "I was not prepared. I don't think I had any understanding of what a successful film would do to a person's life."Thankfully I just went right back to the stage, so when the film opened I was doing A Midsummer Night's Dream, so I think I missed the brunt of it."And despite her many successful films Turner has always had a love for performing on stage, whether it be on Broadway or the West End."In between films I always went back to stage, I never wanted to lose the skill, I never wanted to become afraid of it," she said.The star also revealed that venturing into the multiple roles she has taken on suits her personality as she very much believes in stepping out of her comfort zone."I really believe you have to take a level of risk to the point of possibly failing, which is frightening, in order to find out what you can do."If you just do what you know you have done well before, well first of all, I get bored. It's the reason I've never done a TV series because doing the same person over and over, year after year..." © UTV Share Share Share

I have been trying to follow the Copenhagen news stories such as this LA Times piece but I must admit that I do not have a good grasp on how nations actually negotiate with each other on such carbon mitigation issues. Nations know their current carbon emissions (so the USA is at 20 tons of co2 per year per-capita) and we know how to multiply numbers. If carbon dioxide has a price of $35 a ton then the average American will face a $700 a year bill to continue to live his "status quo" lifestyle while the average person in China would face a $140 bill. Now, what we don't know is what would be the medium term and long term effects of this pricing on economic growth and carbon mitigation technologies.
Don't count on the economists to have a good "Computable General Equilibrium" model to yield valid estimates of how each nation's economy will evolve in the presence of a carbon tax. If we introduced uncertainty into our models the confidence intervals would be huge. But today a group of economists are getting rich peddling their "scientific" models as truth in predicting very difficult policy counter-factuals.

I should probably know this already, but I'm not sure and I don't see it documented.
I use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine quite often during the development process to be able to track changes to variables or exceptions as I'm debugging the code. This is meant to make development and understanding what's happening easier only during development. I normally either comment out the code or delete it when I go to production.
I'm wondering what happens if I forget to comment the code out. Say, for example, that during the development cycle, I'm tracking error information that may log a connection sting to the output window using Debug.Write Line. This is obviously OK while developing, but I'm wondering if when I go live, if there is a risk here. Can someone attach a debugger to my live executable and trap this output? Or is it something that only produces output in Visual Studio?
And what about when we switch from debug to release? Does this code get ignored by the compiler if we compile for release?

10 Crucial Things We Learned About X-Men From The Empire Covers
By Sean O'Connell 2014-01-28 09:42:22 comments
Wolvie also ages backwards as he travels through time?Not exactly. This shot shows the older Logan from the classic Future Past story. In this revised approach to the story, Wolverines "spirit" (and not the character of Kitty Pryde) travels back to his former, younger body. Even though they are bringing Ellen Page back. But whatever.
Heres another continuity thing. We saw Magneto (Ian McKellen) and Xavier (Patrick Stewart) recruit Logan at the end of James Mangolds The Wolverine. Wolvie didnt look THIS old. White hair on his temples? Aged? Does the news shared with Logan shock him white? Are we going to jump way into the future for the beginning of Days? And what does that mean for the Wolverine sequel Mangold wants to do? So many questions

Cincinnati may have a deficit estimated to be between $34 million and $40 million, but that didn't stop City Council from voting 6-2 Thursday to approve a $23,000 raise and one-time $35,000 bonus for City Manager Milton Dohoney, the highest-paid city employee. The raise brings his salary up from $232,000 to $255,000. Council members Chris Seelbach and Chris Smitherman voted against the raise. P.G. Sittenfeld also opposed the raise and bonus, but he missed the vote because he was out of town for personal reasons. If City Council balances the budget for the next year and fires someone making $58,000 or less to help do so, the raise and one-time bonus could have meant one person's job.
City Council also voted 8-0 to encourage the U.S. Department of Agriculture to enforce mandatory labeling of all genetically engineered (GE) food. Alison Auciello, Ohio-based organizer for Food & Water Watch, praised the move in a statement: "Genetically engineered foods are potentially unsafe, and consumers should have the right to decide for themselves if they want to eat GE foods. It took regulation to get food processors to label ingredients and nutrition facts on labels, and now we're calling for federal lawmakers to require the labeling of GE food."
Ohio's unemployment rate was 6.9 percent in October, down from 7.1 percent in September, according to the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services. The numbers were mostly positive with the amount of unemployed dropping by 10,000 and the amount of employed rising by 13,900. The civilian labor force also grew, although it was still below Oct. 2011 levels. Most gains were seen in service-providing industries, professional and business services and government. In comparison, the federal unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent in October, up from 7.8 percent in September.
The Anna Louise Inn won another zoning appeal yesterday. The victory upheld a conditional use permit for the Inn, which will allow Cincinnati Union Bethel, which owns the Inn, to carry on with $13 million renovations. Western & Southern has vowed to appeal the ruling.
Income inequality in Ohio is wide and growing. A new study found the gap between the rich and poor is widening, with the lower and middle classes actually losing real income since the 1990s.
After Thanksgiving, the Cincinnati Zoo team will be studying penguins off the coast of Chile.
Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble is having no part in the good unemployment news. The company announced another round of job cuts as part of a large restructuring program. It's unclear how the cuts will impact Cincinnati.
Hostess, maker of Twinkies, is going out of business. The company blamed a workers' strike for the move, but Hostess has been having problems for a long time. The company has already filed for bankruptcy twice this decade.
The Ohio Board of Regents launched OhioMeansSuccess.org, a website meant to place students on a path to college and a successful career.

Mayor Mark Mallory will deliver his operating budget proposal to City Council today after making changes to the city manager's proposal, which hikes property taxes and lays off 201 city employees, including cops and firefighters. City Council will then be able to change and give final approval to the budget plan before June 1. Some of the cuts may hit parks the hardest, but city administration officials are cautioning that they did not recommend the specific cuts being outlined, and it's up to the Cincinnati Parks Board to decide which areas the cuts will impact. The city planned to help balance its $35 million operating budget deficit with the parking plan, but that plan is currently being held up in court.
The Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition is speaking out against the settlement to sell the Anna Louise Inn to Western & Southern for $4 million. "What has been served today is not justice nor moral on the part of Western & Southern, and we will push for a day when Western Southern recognizes their wrong-doings, asks for forgiveness and turns to doing good," said Josh Spring, executive of the Homeless Coalition, in a statement. The group is asking supporters of the Anna Louise Inn to meet at the Mt. Auburn Presbyterian Church Friday at 6 p.m. to discuss further action.
City Council is likely to keep its ability to call votes on different items in larger ordinances and motions after seemingly failing to get support from six elected council members. Councilwoman Yvette Simpson, who proposed the changes, says the power is confusing because there's no hard standard set for what is separable, but Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan, who has used the power before and supports it, says the rule retains choice and flexibility. City Council is currently reviewing many of its procedural rules, according to Simpson.
Ohio's third grade reading guarantee was reworked by the Ohio House in part to relax standards for teachers. Previously, the law mandated teachers providing reading guarantee services to have taught the subject for at least three years, which critics of the law previously called "impossible to meet."
The Ohio House is slowing down with its Internet cafe moratorium bill while the Ohio Senate works on its bill that would effectively ban the businesses altogether. State officials, particularly Attorney General Mike DeWine, have warned that Internet cafes are prone to criminal activity, but supporters say the businesses are just providing a demanded service.
The National Transportation Safety Board is recommending states strengthen drunken driving standards from a blood-alcohol limit of 0.08 percent to 0.05 percent.
Here is the science behind hating nails on a chalkboard.
For some, Dennis McGuire's 26-minute, seemingly painful execution raises constitutional and ethical questions about Ohio's use of the death penalty. In particular, the convicted killer's family and medical experts say the state's use of a new cocktail of drugs presented problems even before McGuire was killed, with one Harvard professor of anesthesia warning the state prior to the execution that its dosage was too low for McGuire's size and the drugs inadequate. Jonathan Groner, a professor of clinical surgery at Ohio State University, told CityBeat, "I wouldn't want what he got to have my appendix out. … I would be concerned that I would feel something."
Hamilton County commissioners yesterday accepted a Mount Airy facility offered to the county as a gift by Catholic Health Partners, with plans to use the former hospital as the campus for a new crime lab. The acceptance came despite previous warnings that the Mount Airy facility could not be taken in by the county if the Board of Elections didn't also move its office and early voting to the Mount Airy location, where only one bus line runs, from its current downtown office. A party-line tie vote left the Board of Elections move in limbo, with a tie-breaking decision expected from the Republican secretary of state in the next few weeks. Democrats oppose the move because it would limit voting access for people who rely on public transportation, while Republicans argue free parking at the new facility would outweigh the loss of bus access.
Officials plan to break ground today on the Anna Louise Inn's new location at Mount Auburn. The start of construction marks the beginning of the next chapter for the Inn afters its owner, Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB), lost a contentious legal battle against financial giant Western & Southern. CUB sought to keep the Inn at the location it has been at since 1909, while Western & Southern aimed to claim the property to invoke its full development vision on the Lytle Park neighborhood. After two years of litigation, both sides reached a settlement in which CUB agreed to move.

The Memory Gallery Lives On
Posted on 30. Jul, 2013 by Dan Ruth.
At times it can be hard to know if a particular project that Lutheran World Relief supports continues to have an impact even after our portion has ended. That's why it was fun to hear an update from our Regional Communications Officer for Latin America, Annalise Romoser. Annalise recently visited one of our partners in […]

The first point of "Ecclesia in America," John Paul's message to us, is simple: "Rejoice!"
This word was chosen after a series of meetings and visits to America.
In some ways, it encapsulates the feelings of the late Holy Father for the American Church. John Paul II saw on our continent a history of Christian identity—of a people who continue to believe in God, to worship regularly, and to care for the poor in a spirit of Christian charity.
We should rejoice at the state of Christianity in America. In our land we worship freely, more than 90 percent of people share our belief in God, and the Church has an active presence in the fabric of American culture and society.
We have much to rejoice about. But John Paul II reflected that we also have much work to do.
American religious identity is a perplexing phenomenon. The overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God. Seventy-six percent of Americans profess to be Christians. Yet far fewer worship regularly in a Church or religious community. And, when presented with the basic tenets of Christianity, only a small percentage of Americans profess to believe them.
Around the year 1800, the German philosopher Georg Hegel said that "Christians waste on heaven the energies destined for earth." By this, he meant that Christianity should only focus on the temporal needs of the world—on social justice, the needs of the poor or on the acquisition of wealth and power. Too many American Christians seem to have accepted Hegel's admonishment—in many American churches today, the language of Christianity is used to espouse a materialist and consumerist philosophy.
Too many Christians in America have forgotten about eternity. This is the reason why Protestant theologian J.J. Packer has observed that Christianity in America is "3,000 miles wide, and only a half-inch deep."
The key, said Blessed John Paul II, to a deeper faith among Americans, is the witness of Christians living as Christ lived, and proclaiming the kingdom of God. Our responsibility to our brothers and sisters, to our fellow Americans, is to share with them the encounter we have had with Jesus Christ. Each of us who have been touched by Christ—who have accepted his Word, and who follow after him—should witness to others what it means to truly encounter, in Jesus Christ, the Living God. Indeed, Pope Paul VI stated, in 1975, that "it is unthinkable that a person should accept the Word and give himself to the kingdom without becoming a person who bears witness to it and proclaims it in his turn."
Evangelization is not always easy. Some of us feel unequipped or unprepared. Few of us know where to start. Many of us do not know what the people need to receive the Gospel.
In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI told the bishops of the United States that "What is needed ... at this time in the history of the Church in America, is a renewal of that apostolic zeal which inspires her shepherds actively to seek out the lost, to bind up those who have been wounded, and to bring strength to those who are languishing."
The pope has called us to evangelization which finds, which frees, and which heals—evangelization rooted in love.
Soon we will have an opportunity to evangelize in our parishes in a very simple way. From Dec. 18 to Jan. 9 a group called Catholics Come Home will run a national television advertising campaign encouraging Catholics to return to worship at their parishes. In every city in America those who no longer practice our faith will be invited to encounter Jesus Christ in the Church. Some 250 million Americans will be invited to join us at Mass this Christmas season.
We can be evangelists by also inviting our friends to join us as we worship God. We can evangelize by welcoming those who "come home" to our parishes. And we can proclaim God's kingdom by sharing with others the reasons why we worship—by sharing our encounter with the Living God. During this opportunity, provided by Catholics Come Home, let us commit ourselves to proclaiming God's kingdom in our lives—with our witness and also with our words.
On Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent, we lit the rose candle on the Advent wreath. This is the "Gaudete" candle. The "Rejoice!" candle. This week is the Church's week of rejoicing in the impending arrival of Jesus Christ. Let us rejoice together. And let us invite others to know the great joy that fills us with a spirit of rejoicing.

To Know Where Biosimilars Are Going,...
RNAi Is Working on Tactics to...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
Detection of circulating blood biomarkers is commonly accomplished by sandwich ELISA using one antibody for capture and another antibody for detection. But what if that biomarker is also a target for a therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb)?
In a clinical sample, such a biomarker would exist in both bound and unbound forms in the presence of potentially higher amounts of the therapeutic mAb. Moreover, the binding of the therapeutic mAb to the target may change the body's natural clearance, thereby altering the biomarker concentration in response to treatment.
Quantification of both bound and unbound biomarkers would produce important data to not only show efficacy of the mAb, but to potentially facilitate establishment of dosing levels when used in preclinical or clinical settings.
"Development of a high-throughput assay detecting a biomarker independent of the presence of a therapeutic mAb is challenging," says Jana Chain, staff scientist at the laboratory for experimental medicine at Eli Lilly and Company.
In response to this challenge, Lilly has developed an immunoassay for quantifying total biomarker in the presence of high levels of mAb targeting the biomarker of interest. The assay utilizes a capture antibody to a noncompeting, mid-region epitope. First, the bound and unbound biomarkers are captured on a plate coated with the noncompeting antibody. Next, the biomarker is eluted with acid, then transferred and bound to a second plate. A biotinylated version of the same noncompeting antibody is then utilized for detection.
This novel format allows for quantitation of ng/mL levels of biomarkers in the presence of ug/mL levels of therapeutic mAbs. To date, Lilly has validated this assay format for three therapeutic monoclonal antibodies currently in clinical trials. "Developing an assay that enables us to quickly and efficiently screen clinical trial samples for efficacy of our therapeutic proteins is in line with our company's strategy to improve outcomes for individual patients," says Chain.

text: You have been pwned Bruno Maisonnier 10 August 10 by Frank Swain This article was taken from the September issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineMeet Nao, the little machine with a big future. He's designed to teach us, take care of us -- and then, probably, replace us Bruno Maisonnier believes machines are set totake over the world. He proclaims: "The year 2010 in robotics is the year 1980 in IT." Leading the revolution is Nao, a 58cm-tall robot created by Maisonnier's Paris-based company Aldebaran Robotics.With a pair of threemegapixel cameras for eyes and four ultrasound echolocation sensors, Nao can navigate and interact with his surroundings. He can carry loads of up to 300g in his arms, using pressure pads and inertial sensors to keep his balance.As well as recognising human faces and voice commands, Nao keeps in touch with machines using infrared and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing him towork collaboratively with other robots to achieve difficult tasks. Running on open-source software, Nao is a true polymath: he can dance, play football, help around the house and assist in autism research by interacting with autistic children using simple gestures and language. And in the future? Maisonnier sees Nao's next iterations caring for you in your old age. Edited by Olivia Solon Latest on wired.co.uk

I started reading Golf Digest when I was in high school with the hope I could increase my scoring average. It didn't help, so I finally canceled my subscription last year. Same with Playboy.
I was browsing through the magazine rack at a local bookstore and saw the October issue of Mess magazine. Actually, it was Muscle and Fitness magazine, but Arnold Schwarzenegger's photo was positioned in front of the publication's name, and his huge head blocked out all but four letters. In one of the articles, the former governor and bodybuilder (who has graced the cover countless times and is now the executive editor) refers frequently to loving his MF magazine, not quite the charm as the abbreviation for Gentlemen's Quarterly.
In small print at the bottom of the magazine's cover is a note that states the picture of the world's most famous bodybuilder has not been digitally enhanced in any way and that the muscular arms shown are 100 percent the result of Arnold's efforts. The same cannot be said of his face, which is 50 percent the work of his plastic surgeon.
The cover also said that on page 57 you will learn how to add one inch to your own arms. That
interested me because right now I am just shy of reaching the crock pot on the top shelf in the kitchen. I began skimming the pages and noticed that men refer to their beefed-up biceps as their "guns." And that is why they believe in the right to bear arms.
Editor-in-chief Shawn Perine also heralds the importance of a good mental attitude when it comes to physical fitness. "All growth starts with your head," says Shawn, evidenced by the Terminator's noggin on the front cover.
In another section, fitness guru Jay Cutler fields questions about the most effective exercises for achieving a rock hard body. "I favor 'dips' as a great mass builder," says Jay. A similar result can be achieved by any dip with a sour cream base.
Jon Jones, another physique freak who writes for MF, reports that his favorite workouts are the Bulgarian split squat, the Keiser push pull and the glute hamstring raise. Why he doesn't include the sumo squat stretch is simply a mystery to me.
The pages are also full of ads for bodybuilding supplements. Choose from Jet Fuel, Beast Amphetalin, Horsepower X, Shock Therapy and my favorite: Hemo Rage. Not only is it an effective nutritional supplement, but it's soon to be a major motion picture.
Food, if it can be called that, is heavily advertised in the monthly periodical. The culinary delight that really intrigued me was smoked tofu. Bodybuilders are not generally into eating tofu, so they smoke it, instead.
In the final article, there is a question-and-answer feature with Arnold, who is now in his 60s. He admits he doesn't enjoy working with a big dumbbell, anymore. Coincidentally, this is exactly why, when Arnold was governor of CalEEEfornia, his first chief of staff quit after two months.

J.Cole's life was made last night during his concert at New York City's heralded The Theater at Madison Square Garden. After surprising concert goers by bringing out Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z. Jay Z later surprised Cole by presenting him with his original Roc-A-Fella chain.
The show happened to be on the same day as J. Cole's 29th birthday. So after Cole's label boss got on stage and performed the fan favorite "Public Service Announcement," Cole was presented with Jay Z's original Roc-A-Fella chain. Jay Z told the crowd, "It's his birthday, but he giving out gifts. So I think it's only right that you get a gift. hat on your neck is my original Roc chain and it's yours."
A shocked J. Cole replied, "This is unreal." Cole then asked his boss for another gift and that was for Jay Z to perform "FuckWitMeYouKnowIGotIt." That's one of the coolest ways to celebrate a birthday! How many people can say Jay Z gave the his original Roc-A-Fella chain for their birthday.

This is a solid, silicone, plastic tube with a string of LEDs embedded inside. It is designed to glow evenly, like a neon light, yet it is flexible, durable, and consumes 70% less power.
This lighting is useful any place you want the look of neon, but want something easy to install, reconfigure, and remove. For example, this lighting is useful for stage sets, tradeshow displays, and retail signs. It is also useful when you need the lighting to be flexible in the final installation. Consider track lighting in a retractable awning, it could roll-up with the canvas.
This lighting is available in any length, but tube shape is the only shape available. Custom shapes could be developed depending on your needs. Imagine this was molded in the shape of your product–the entire top of your vacuum cleaner could glow.
This lighting is manufactured by extruding silicone over a strip of LEDs. These are encased in the base of the product, spaced every half inch.
AC Plug
One of main advantages of flexible molded LEDS is its long life. LEDs have an average life span of 50,000 – 100,000 hours (5-10 yrs approximately) before they dim to the point of possible replacement, far outlasting normal light bulbs.
The plastic is indeed extruded over the LEDs, which are molded and encased in the base of the product. The LEDs are spaced every half inch.
The maximum length on a roll is 150 feet in the 120V version.
This product currently comes only in dimensions of 5/8″ × 1″. It can be cut to any length as long as you adhere to the cut intervals marked on the product.
The flexibility of this product allows you to create almost any shape instantly. Custom molded product would be possible with development and working together with the vendor. This would also depend on the volume.
Yes, it is possible. The challenges would be in calculating how long you wanted to run this product, how much of it you would need to run, and sourcing a battery large enough. Flexible molded LEDs are designed to just plug in and run, eliminating those concerns.
Flexible molded LEDs are approved for outdoor applications, although it is NOT submersible.
Flexible molded LEDs are available in 120V and 24V versions in red, amber, blue, green, and orange.

If there's one thing that is totally undesirable, it's having green sludge flood your home. No matter the environment, the desert, a factory, an island, or even in underground sewers, it's a generally accepted fact of life that having things covered in the aforementioned green sludge is pretty much a bad thing. Fortunately, in the Nintendo DS version of Pipe Mania, that is exactly what will be prevented -- providing the person playing the game has wit, skill, and dexterity.
The graphics of Pipe Mania will be instantly recognizable to anyone who's played the game before, or as one of its earlier incarnations (it was notably called Pipe Dream at one point, among other assorted names). Differing shapes of pipe are laid out among a grid. In Pipe Mania for DS, these pipes tend to alter appearance depending on which level one is currently in, and can occasionally change into other shapes, such as open-ended pipes, conveyor belts, and railroad ties.
The characters are drawn in a watercolor-styled motif that is echoed by the levels to an extent. More importantly, navigating the menus is quite easy with the stylus due to the large layout and clear buttons, and equally so with button control. During play, the lower screen features the action while the upper screen serves as a "status" screen, showing the upcoming pipe pieces, score, time remaining (in certain stages), and other assorted bits of information.
While Pipe Mania doesn't necessarily feature a soundtrack most people might want to purchase and listen to during spare time, neither is it a particularly painful experience. Blasts, bursts, squishes and explosions are what the sound effects primarily feature, and combined with the steady beat of the background music, they lend the game a driving industrial feel.
Despite many, many name changes in America (including the aforementioned Pipe Dream, the game has also been known as Wallpipe, Fun2Link, Pipeworks, Pipe Master, Oilcap, and DragonSnot, among other names), Pipe Mania has always been the same game underneath: keep placing pipe fittings to keep the "flooze" from spilling, overflowing, or reaching a dead end. That's the basic goal.
The DS version of Pipe Mania takes things a bit beyond this, however. The game constructs a story around master plumber Alfonso Sr., who made a very large fortune fulling his "pipe dreams" and now owns a private island. Unfortunately, that no-good varmint Buffalo Bob is going around messing up the plumbing everywhere, so it's up to Alfonso's children Junior and Fawcett -- the player's choice as to which -- to prove they're worthy of their father's legacy and save the day. While it also includes a conversion of the original edition of Pipe Mania, this "World" mode is the star of the show. Other modes and levels are unlocked by beating levels or achieving certain scores in the main stages.
In addition to Classic and World mode, the game also features Arcade mode, where the game grid is constantly moving, and Bonus, in which the stages are more like puzzles in and of themselves. Specific pieces must be placed or rotated; speed is the key to winning in this mode. The extra modes really add some life to the title, and the additional unlockables -- like character art, movies, and Pipe Mania trivia -- provide more reason to shoot for high scores.
While the game can be played with the stylus, utilizing the buttons works far better, especially for those used to playing traditional puzzle games on consoles, although Pipe Mania has been playable on PC for over a decade, as well. An in-game tutorial explains how the system works and introduces new concepts so new players won't feel too left out.
Pipe Mania is a decent reinterpretation of a classic game, and as a puzzler, ranks pretty high on the historical hierarchy. Ultimately, how much someone can enjoy Pipe Mania for DS depends on how much fondness one has for the original game. A full-featured single player experience somewhat makes up for the complete lack of any multiplayer modes, and the characters and story are a charming addition. Puzzle fanatics will most certainly want to check this one out.

I have three words for you regarding theater-going this weekend: Fringe. Fringe. Fringe.
If you haven't dropped in yet for this stimulating festival of push-the-envelope performances, you're missing out on the greatest dose of annual creativity that we get here in Cincinnati. And a lot of your friends have already caught on: Fringe Producer Eric Vosmeier tells me that as of Thursday they've hit their ticket goal for the entire festival ... and there are still two more days to go!
For the holidays, they'll produce The Naughty List, hosted by Ronda Androski and her great staff at Arnold's Bar & Grill downtown and featuring the talent of OTR Improv, one of the groups Know has nurtured with its Jackson Street Market. They'll take holiday memories from those in attendance as they recreate holiday movies and tell you how your life would have been different if you had received that special gift you yearned for. The fun will be happeing in Arnold's courtyard on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings from Dec. 2 to 30. Tickets will be $15 in advance and $18 at the door.
Know will also offer The Apocalypse Show! for two nights on its home stage at 1120 Jackson St.. Since the world is scheduled to come to an end on Dec. 21, 2012 (according to the Mayan calendar), Know will produce a variety show to end all variety shows on Dec. 20 and 21. There will be sketch comedy, predictions, guest appearances, "gratuitous drinking and answers to all of your apocalypse FAQs." Dec. 20 will be a fundraiser (tickets: $50), despite the funny come-on that you should bring all your money, since it will be worth nothing the next day! (If you come to the performance on Dec. 21, you only need to scrape together $15 in advance or $18 at the door.)
Assuming that the world really isn't ending on Dec. 21, Know will co-host its annual New Year's Eve event with CityBeat, the Speakeasy Party from 8 p.m. on Dec. 31 (to 1 a.m.). Know typically attracts 300 well-dressed guests for this event, and everyone has fun with casino games, food, dancing to a DJ and a live band, martinis and a champagne toast at midnight.
After all this fun stuff, Know will get down to some serious theater — presenting Andrew Bovell's "best new play of 2010," When the Rain Stops Falling (Feb. 8-March 16, 2013). It's another partnership, with the production being staged by Brian Isaac Phillips, artistic director at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. (Bovell's Speaking in Tongues had a great production at the Cincinnati Playhouse last season.) The show uses an intricate fabric of overlapping connections, moving between several generations between 1959 and 2039 and between London and Australia. Acts and sins of the past are connected to three generations that follow.
More will be following, including an unnamed production running from April 5 to May 12. Sometime in late April (date TBA), just in advance of the tenth annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival (May 28-June 8, 2013), Know will host the 2013 United States Association of Fringe Festivals Conference. "We're honored to have been selected to host this year's conference," says Know's Producing Artistic Director Eric Vosmeier. "It's an amazing opportunity to work on ideas and issues at the core of all Fringe Festivals. Every time I have been to a conference, the Cincinnati Fringe is better for it. We can't wait to show off our city to festival producers from all over the United States."
One more note: Know is selling its version of a subscription, Flex Passes. But these have evolved: You can purchase six flex passes for $90. Valid for most Know productions, they do not expire. (If a show ticket has a higher price than the pass, you can use your pass and just pay the difference.) Know's website will designate: "Flex passes are valid for this event." When you run out of tickets (and you surely will), you simply need to buy another pass.
Know's Fringe Festival has promoted itself with the slogan "Weird, like us." And they're living up to that mantra in a way that should appeal to its supporters and more.
The best theatrical entertainment onstage this weekend is
The Foreigner, presented by the Commonwealth Theatre Company at Northern
Kentucky University. I saw it a week ago (review here) and it's a winner — a
very funny play with a marvelously inventive performance by Roderick
Justice in the title role. He plays a painfully shy man who tries to
avoid social contact by posing as someone who doesn't speak English,
even though he's quite literate. The concept doesn't quite work out as
planned when his "cover" means that people have all kinds of revealing
conversations around him. The plot is hilarious, but it's Justice's
performance that makes it run like clockwork. It's part of a dinner
theater package — dinner at 6:30 most nights, show at 8:00 p.m. Tickets:
There's not a lot of theater right now, but if you're looking for great onstage entertainment right now, the World Choir Games have plenty to offer. I've been blogging about it for the past week, and you can read more here. Events and performances through Saturday evening. www.2012worldchoirgames.com.
February is Black History Month, a period when the arts traditionally wake up and pay attention to African-American stories and artists.
I'm always a bit troubled by this segmenting, so I want to commend both
the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
for presenting two fine productions of shows featuring African Americans
in engaging stories — in the middle of March. They represent two of this weekend's best choices.
At ETC, Black Pearl Sings! features two outstanding local actresses. Annie Fitzpatrick plays Susannah Mullally, a folk music researcher in the 1930s; Torie Wiggins is Alberta "Pearl" Johnson, a prisoner (for a violent but probably justified crime) who has a remarkable recollection of songs she learned as a child from her family. They form an uneasy alliance that turns into a guarded friendship, and Fitzpatrick and Wiggins have a delightful interplay and chemistry. I heard that this might be the 40th production Fitzpatrick has done at ETC; she's a versatile actress, and she convincingly creates the uptight but driven Susannah. Wiggins, who graduated from the drama program at CCM, earns her Equity card on this production: Chronologically, she's probably a tad young for the role, but she so wholly embodies Pearl's feisty character that it makes no difference. Hers is a tour-de-force rendition, musically and theatrically. This one is a definite must-see. Box office: 513-421-3555.
Let's give the Playhouse — and new artistic director Blake Robison — props for finally getting around to staging a show by Horton Foote, who died in 2009 at the age of 92. He was a prolific dramatist and screenwriter (he wrote screenplays for To Kill a Mockingbird and Tender Mercies) for years, and his play A Trip to Bountiful is a lovely, emotional paean to the notion that "there's no place like home." Foote wrote the play about an elderly Texas wido pining to return to her hometown in 1953 (as a play for television, in fact) and it was an award-winning 1985 movie with a white cast. For the Playhouse, Timothy Douglas has changed up the story by overlaying an African-American filter over the story and casting veteran actress Lizann Mitchell as Carrie Watts. She's a dream of an actress, portraying a tiny Texas cyclone of energy with a wry sense of humor. The story is nothing too innovative — she runs away from a cramped apartment where she lives with her son and his demanding wife to return to her girlhood home, which has all but disappeared — but the truth and dignity of the tale (and Mitchell's performance) make this show worth seeing. Box office: 513-421-3888.
Finally, I need to mention Clifton Players production of A Behanding in Spokane by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. He's the writer of dark tales like The Beauty Queen of Leenane and The Cripple of Inishmaan, as well as the even darker film In Bruges. Clifton Players perform at Clifton Performance Theatre, a tiny, intimate storefront space on Ludlow Avenue. I've heard lots of positive remarks about this production. Be prepared to be shocked and entertained by the show's comic violence. Tickets: 513-861-7469.
Your best bet for theater this weekend, based on several
enthusiastic recommendations, seems to be Daniel Beaty's one-man
performance at the Cincinnati Playhouse in Through the Night. Harper Lee gave it a Critic's Pick in her CityBeat
review this week, and the League of Cincinnati Theatres panel described
Beaty as a "brilliant showman and interpreter" whose "beautifully and
powerfully acted" performance "weaved in, out and through real people —
multifaceted people." The show was praised as "moving and full of hope —
an evening of pure joy, celebration and a mournful reminder as well." Through the Night
"shatters the stereotypes of the 'African American' plight and shows
beautifully that these predicaments and life choices are 'human' ones." I
caught a performance this week and found Beaty's ability to shift from
character to character quite astonishing — he plays six men and boys, as
well as numerous other figures in their lives, each well defined and
believable. It's a tour de force performance in the Shelterhouse,
presented simply with some projected images and nothing more, not even
costume changes. Box office: 513-421-3888.
College theater has good choices for you at both UC's College-Conservatory of Music and Northern Kentucky University. Each is presenting a classic, although from very different eras. NKU continues its run of You Can't Take It With You (through Sunday), a classic comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart that won a Pulitzer Prize back in 1937. It's about a wacky family that marches to the beat of several different drummers and how their "normal" daughter and her boyfriend (the product of truly straitlaced parents) try to figure out how to make a relationship work in the midst of a lot of craziness. At CCM there's another form of craziness in Michael Burnham's staging of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a tale of mistaken lovers and magical transformations. In both cases, there's a happy ending and most of the right people end up with suitable partners. Both shows are sure to offer offer a lot of laughs, as well as plenty of opportunities for young actors to take on entertaining roles. Either show should make for a fun outing that doesn't require much serious thought. CCM Box Office: 513-556-4183; NKU Box Office: 859-572-5464.
Finally, on Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. you have a very
special opportunity to see a brand-new musical as a work-in-progress at
the Carnegie Center in Covington. It's a one-night-only presentation of The Sandman, a creepy musical created by Cincinnati native and Cirque du Soleil
maestro Richard Oberacker and his creative partner Robert Taylor. Using
a wildly imaginative story by E.T.A. Hoffmann (the guy who wrote the
wildly imaginative story of battling mice and toys coming to life that
became The Nutcracker), Oberacker and Taylor have crafted a show
that's getting a workshop locally with some serious star power. Narrated
by Van Ackerman (who turned in a great performance as the Man in the
Chair in CMT's recent production of The Drowsy Chaperone), the
performance will feature Tony nominee (and early CCM grad) Pamela Myers,
always watchable Bruce Cromer (fresh off his powerful turn as Atticus
Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird at Cincy Shakes), Charlie Clark
and Sara Mackie. While it's a "reading," it will have sound effects and
some slide projections to set the eerie scene. You can call 859-957-1940 for tickets, or order them online at www.thecarnegie.com. General admission is $25 (theater professionals and students can get in for $15). Sounds like a don't miss event.
The 2009 Cincy Fringe Festival wraps up tonight. Starting today at 2 p.m., 18 different productions are presenting their final shows and both Film Fringe and Visual Fringe are wrapping up at the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
Rick Pender reports that ticket sales have already surpassed Fringe organizers' goals, and today's beautiful weather should bring out a final wave of good attendance.
Reviews of all 18 of today's shows are posted on CityBeat's Fringe micro-site, including The Secrets Project, which opened last night at New Stage Collective and presents its second and final performance tonight at 7:30. In fact, CityBeat writers have reviewed all 31 Fringe shows, with most reviews being posted the morning after their debut performances.
Marsha Hanna, artistic director of Dayton's Human Race Theatre Company, died on Monday. I was saddened to learn of her passing — especially at age 59 — because she was a passionate advocate for theater, not just in Dayton but throughout the region.

Scouring the internet for clues about the dragon rumored to be heading home to New Fantasyland has been quite a quest one thats led me to even more questions. Ive found archival photos, and had reports of sightings sent to me which have been chronicled on my Disney Dragon Tumblr blog.
For a dragon-loving guy like myself I have to admit its been fun, but also frustrating at times. Theres definitely something flying around up there. But I need to find it. I need to see it.
So, I decided to go straight to the source, New Fantasyland, to dig for new clues. I wanted to talk to the residents, royalty and villains of the land. The truth is out there, and I wont stop until I find it. Interviewing Disney Princesses and Villains gave me a few leads, and a few dead ends. But I feel I am getting closer.
A breakthrough, though, came when I received a hot tip about someone who had reliable information on where our flying friend might appear. While I cant reveal the name of my anonymouse source, I can say this tipster is in the know about all-things-Disney. My exclusive interview is in the next post below.
Stay tuned, because I feel a major breakthrough coming soon. I think the next step in my dragon dilemma might just be an overnight expedition to where this highly placed source advises me to search.

Pregnancy Massage
Resolving injuries or aches and pains before going into a pregnancy can make all the difference in the last few months when weight, balance and stability become a stressing factor on the body. New aches and pains often develop during pregnancy and massage during these months can bring much needed relief. Common issues are lower back, shoulder, leg and sciatic pain as well as lower abdominal discomfort in the last few weeks of the pregnancy. Once the baby is born can be another time of increased physical stress as you carry a weight that you are familiar with in unfamiliar positions.

I wasn't paying attention apparently and went in expecting the symphony with him and to hear some great soundtrack work from Ragtime, The Natural etc. But Randy alone with just a piano proved to be entirely enjoyable. You forget just how many songs he's written. Funny songs, moving songs he does it all. A wonderful evening of music.

I gave this as a gift. My husband and son attended, and both thought it was OK, but said the sound system was not good, and therefore they lost about 25% of what Mr. Newman said, which was surprising in a venue like Davies Symphony Hall.

He is a national treasure and consummate, personable performer. His satirical and moving, pensive lyrics and are a glimpse of the true America.

It is difficult to review Mr. Newman as a performer as it was almost impossible to understand what he was singing about. This is a big problem for a solo performer and particularly this one as his work is all about the lyrics!

Quotes & Highlights
Learn more about Randy Newman at his website.
Occupying a singular niche in American music, Randy Newman combines Brill Building pop craftsmanship with rock 'n' roll irony in songs that have been lovingly covered by a breathtaking array of artists, from Ray Charles, Etta James and Peggy Lee to Dusty Springfield, Aaron Neville and Joe Cocker. He's probably best known as a prolific Oscar-winning Hollywood tunesmith who's contributed signature songs and scores to more than a dozen hit films including The Natural, Monsters, Inc., and the Toy Story series. In 2011, his music for Toy Story 3 netted him an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album. With deep family ties to New Orleans, Newman has often drawn deeply on the city's deep rhythmic traditions. It's no coincidence that his song "Louisiana, 1927" from his landmark 1974 album Good Old Boys became a Crescent City anthem in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Drawing on his gem-laden repertoire for this rare solo concert, Randy Newman brings his vast menagerie of sharply drawn characters to life. A major event, as always.

The Alabama Senate voted Thursday to support Gov. Bob Riley in his call for a boycott of Aruba.
State Sen. Steve French of Birmingham got the Senate to vote 27-0 for a resolution supporting the governor. French says the resolution was requested by the family of Natalee Holloway.
The teenager who lived in Mountain Brook, Ala., disappeared May 30, 2005, while on a graduation trip to the Caribbean island.
Holloway is a Mississippi native, whose father, Dave Holloway, lives in Meridian.
The Senate's resolution says a boycott is needed because the investigation into Holloway's disappearance "has been plagued with an unacceptable amount of missteps, miscommunications and inconsistencies."

Free Money Finance has a great tip for the frugal ones out there, check out the discount racks and bins for great deals [3]. My girlfriend and I were shopping and saw boxes of whole wheat brand named pasta (Barilla I think) on clearance (I guess they weren't too popular) and snagged them up.
Five Cent Nickel is having his (or should I say his lovely and talented wife) moving sale [4] today in preparation for a big move.
All Things Financial is having some legal woes regarding his name [5]. If you have any advice, we're all ears. And, while he has changed the title of his blog, I'm not. I can call his blog whatever I want.
Mighty Bargain Hunter has some ideas for what to do with that fat tax refund [6].
Consumerism Commentary stresses the importance of financial education as a means of overcoming the sobering stat that 9 in 10 affluent families lose their fortunes within 3 generations [7].

Warning: Everything Leaks
Apple recently debuted a series of new iPods to add to their now-massive line. For once this is not a commentary about brand extensions, but rather about leaks.
A few days prior, images were leaked on Engadget depicting a potential new design for the iPod nano. Apple told them to take it down, which they did, but it was the latest in a continuing trend of leaks. Last year, dozens of images leaked about the iPhone and what that might look like. As a result, no one was surprised.
But it's not only Apple. Remember that OJ manuscript that leaked after the book release was cancelled? How about nude photos of all those celebrities? Or the final Harry Potter book that popped up online a few days prior to release. And that's not even touching on all the stuff in Washington that leaks.
It seems that these days nothing is safe from leaks. The Internet era is about information, and since every citizen (netizen?) has a voice, it makes secrecy that much more of an ordeal.
Just a word of warning. But an interesting thought would be to eliminate secrecy altogether. Let the public know what you're working on and keep them informed of the progress. Some companies keep a product blog, and inform people of how things are going. Why not do the same for books, movies, legislation, etc.?
