EVANSTON, Ill. - There have been little plays, giant plays, and times when winner has taken all during Michigan State's still-blossoming, increasingly-memorable 2010 season. But not once during this fairy tale has a player stepped forward with a truly fantastic performance the caliber of the one Kirk Cousins put forth Saturday at rainy, windy Ryan Field.
Cousins was good most of the day, and great at the end. On the go-ahead touchdown drive of MSU's 35-27 victory over Northwestern, Cousins and the Spartan offense headed into a strong wind with 7:18 to play, down by six. Coaches decided that Cousins' arm, and not the legs of a once-dominant running game, was the best mode of transportation.
Behind inconsistent pass protection, Cousins completed seven passes to five different receivers for 98 yards on the go-ahead drive, moving the ball from MSU's 12-yard-line. He was sacked twice on the drive, stayed calm, delivered for 18 to Keith Nichol on second-and-20, 14 again to Nichol on third-and-15, and 8 to Charlie Gantt on fourth-and one, and finally to B.J. Cunningham, for a 9-yard TD pass.
Nichol's receptions were terrific. Gantt's catch was clutch. And Cunningham's will be replayed for years to come. But the trigger man, Cousins, made it happen in a way that we had not seen from a Spartan quarterback during this renaissance period of Spartan football under Mark Dantonio. Not until now.
Cousins has been good for more than a year. On Saturday, he took his game to another level when the Spartans absolutely needed it.
"Kirk Cousins is an unbelievable leader," said Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio. "Players follow him."
Cousins did it in the locker room at halftime, on the sideline prior to the game-winning drive, and on the field at the end.
"Sometimes you have to be on the sideline with him to get a feel for that, but his confidence wasn't shaken," said offensive coordinator Don Treadwell. "He kept believing. Cousins laser-beamed some passes in there."
Cousins completed 29-of-43 passes for 331 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
"You've got to have a guy at the helm that has been in it," Treadwell said of Cousins. "That showed itself today. Great leaders and great quarterbacks are able to do it under those circumstances and we are not surprised by it.
"We are so proud of the man behind center, Kirk Cousins, and what he did. He hung in there. He got a few hits on him and he didn't let it shake him, obviously."
Into a lake-effect wind, with the pressure of being the main care-taker of an unbeaten record and the highest BCS ranking in school history, Cousins leaned on his teammates and went to work.
"Kirk was like, 'You know what we've got to do. We've got to get it and score, take it in,' and that's what we did," Cunningham said.
The drive began with an 18-yard out route to Dell. Dell had a team-high nine catches on the day for 109 yards.
Time wasn't an issue on the drive. But Michigan State attacked out of the shotgun, and chose to run the ball only once in 11 play calls.
The lone ground call was a draw play out of a spread formation on third-and-two. Edwin Baker picked up five on that play, behind blocks from Joel Foreman and Chris McDonald, moving the ball to the Michigan State 43.
Prior to the go-ahead drive, Michigan State had rushed for only 85 yards. Northwestern stuffed a Spartan ground attack which began the season by rushing for 200 or more yards in five of their first six games.
Northwestern stopped MSU on two third-and-short runs in the first half, paving the way to a 17-0 Wildcat lead.
"Mike Hankwitz, Northwestern's defensive coordinator, does an outstanding job recognizing things and his guys came to play," Dantonio said. "Emotion is a very, very strong thing and I think they had the emotion in the first half."
MSU trailed 17-7 at halftime. Cousins spoke up.
"We are a second half team, guys," Cousins told them in the locker room. "I don't want to be down, here, trailing at halftime, but the fact of the matter is we tend to play well in the second half and come back if we're down.'"
Choosing Air
The Spartans tried zone runs in the first quarter-and-a-half, and tried power gap runs later, but decided that Cousins was the answer.
"When you look at the big picture, we needed to do what was done, and that's be able to throw the football," Treadwell said. "There were some things that they (Northwestern) did very well. They came out and played us very tough. We weren't quite on track on a couple of things there in the run game early. Obviously we needed to throw the football."
After the completion to Dell, MSU had first-and-10 at its own 30 with more than six minutes to play. But MSU didn't even threaten the defense with the Spartans' best run looks. MSU operated out of the shotgun, with three receivers.
The decision to abandon the run didn't look good when Cousins was sacked on the second play of the go-ahead drive. A Northwestern blitz sent linebacker Bryce McNaul past MSU left guard Joel Foreman.
But Cousins came back, on second-and-20, with an 18-yard dart to Nichol on a deep in cut.
"Everybody kind of hunkered down, took a deep breath and made a play, whether it was Kirk, the o-line, the backs, the receivers, blocking," Nichol said. "That drive was huge."
After Baker's 5-yard gain on the draw play, Cousins went back to work with an 18-yarder to Cunningham on a deep out.
Then, on first-and-10 at the Northwestern 39, with more than four minutes to play, Michigan State stayed with the air game, and again found trouble. Cousins rolled right, felt heat and threw it away.
Then on second down, Cousins took a five-step drop and looked deep. Northwestern defensive end Vince Browne fought past Gantt, and got a piece of Cousins' arm for a sack and a fumble. Foreman recovered.
MSU, which had climbed out of holes all day, including 17-0 and 24-14 deficits, faced third-and-15.
"Everybody just had that mentality: This is it. If we are going to make a play, it needs to be made now," Nichol said. "We were at third-and-15, and we were like, if we don't make a play now, the percentages are extremely low."
Out of an empty formation, Cousins and Nichol - a former quarterback - saw the same opening in Northwestern's coverage. Nichol ran a quick, skinny post. The ball was out of Cousins' hand quickly. Nichol was ready.
"I had a pretty good idea the ball was going to be coming to me, so I just tried to make a good move on the DB and I knew when I got my head around the ball was going to be thrown and it was going to be right there," Nichol said. "Kirk put it in a good spot where only I could go get it."
Nichol is being modest. Nichol showed every inch of his team-best vertical jump on that play, along with the physicality of his 6-foot-2, 222-pound frame, and every ounce of competitiveness that Cousins knew he had. These were the biggest plays of Nichol's career.
"Keith caught a ball that was very high early in that drive; he went up and got it," Cousins said. "He had a couple of very important catches on that drive that were not easy. There were some big, big plays by our receivers."
"Kirk was just threading the ball to us, putting it on the money," Cunningham said. "Mark was making plays, I was making plays, Baker, Keith. The last drive, we just came out and knew what we had to do, make plays for our quarterback, and we got it done."
Nichol's 14-yard snag set up fourth-and-one. Again, Treadwell opted to go to the air rather than pound the ground. He didn't even call for a play action fake. MSU confidently operated out of the shot gun, and put four receivers to the left side.
"That's a quads formation," Cousins said. "It's a little bit unorthodox. It's been working for us."
Last week against Illinois, Treadwell dialed up the quads formation two times, both on third-and-mediums. Each time, Cousins found Cunningham for important, chain-moving plays.
Michigan State used the quads formation only twice against Northwestern, and again, moved the chains each time. On the first occasion, Cousins rolled out and threw to Nichol for a gain of 11 on third-and-7 late in the third quarter. That play fueled MSU's third TD drive, which cut the lead to 24-21 with 13:12 to play.
On fourth-and-one at the 30 in the final minutes, Cousins had Cunningham, Gantt, Nichol and Dell to choose from, on the left half of the field.
"We do a sprint out protection and try to read it across the field and he (Gantt) was the guy who was open and made a great catch to get the first down," Cousins said.
It was Gantt's second-biggest catch of the season.
"I was right next to Charlie," Cunningham said. "I was open too. He could have thrown it to either of us. It was just a short little sit route. Just go out there and sit down."
It was a difficult pattern to cover.
"The schemes Coach Tread puts us in to prepare for that team, give credit to him," Cunningham said. "He was calling great plays. I guess he saw something in that defense and saw some holes and we just executed."
Treadwell knew Cousins could handle the wind.
"There definitely was wind," Cousins said.
Ask punter Aaron Bates.
"After my pass into the breeze, I think you could see a little difference in arm strength (between me and Kirk)," Bates said with a laugh, in reference to his successful fake punt earlier in the fourth quarter.
"I didn't throw the ball a whole lot to where it really hung up in there in the air," Cousins said. "But you could see in the kicking game how much the wind affected it.
"Once I got out there, once you make the read and try to throw the pass, you're just trying to fire it in there. And I think that's where arm strength makes a big difference for a quarterback, to be able to cut the wind with the ball. Your arm strength, makes a big difference in a game like this."

Now in a rhythm, Treadwell called for a new-look swing pass to Baker in the left flat. Cousins sold action to the right, then whirled back to the left, to get the ball to Baker in space. Baker made two Wildcats miss and scampered down to the 9-yard line. The season felt special again.
On the next snap, Cousins connected with Cunningham in the back of the end zone on a short nod/post route. But Michigan State couldn't wrap up this comeback with a simple, safe, secure, two-handed catch. Northwestern safety Brian Peters got a piece of the pass as Cunningham tried to nab it out of the Midwestern sky.
"I thought B.J. was going to get it the first time, the way he went up on top of that guy, but the DB actually made a great play, tipping it up in the air," Nichol said.
Then Cunningham tipped it away from Peters, and back toward himself.
"His concentration all the way to the ground was amazing," Nichol said. "I was right next to him, so I saw everything. He was tipping it and I was trying to get to him in case it got tipped to me. For a second it looked like it was going to roll right to me, but B.J. kept on it."
"As I'm falling back to the ground," Cunningham said, "I had to grab it with my left hand, and roll over on my back and make sure the refs saw that I had possession of it."
The throng of more than 15,000 visiting Michigan State fans - possibly closer to 20,000 - erupted.
"The feeling at that moment, I can't explain it," Nichol said.
"It was a big adrenalin rush when it happened, to make a play for my quarterback and everyone else," Cunningham said. "It was like grabbing a rebound, man, and going and getting the ball and finishing with a dunk. I hope Coach Izzo saw that. Izzo, that's for you."
Don't blame Cousins if he is starting to feel some commonality with his championship-winning Spartan basketball brethren.
"I think that great teams in special seasons find a way to win, and today we found a way," Cousins said. "I don't really know how. I'll have to go back and watch the film to figure that out. I just know that we ended up with more points on the scoreboard when it said zero."
Thanks largely to a new hero.

The Jakarta Globe
Many people think of the theater as a place for stuffy costumes and stale dialogue. But a play now showing at the Salihara cultural center in South Jakarta is sure to put a twist on that idea.
"Goyang Penasaran," billed as "The Obsessive Twist" in English, is a play filled with erotic performers, motorcycle taxi drivers and your average street thugs, brought to the stage by Yogyakarta theater company Teater Garasi (Garage Theater).
The play tells the story of Salimah, a performer who is admired for her sensual moves on stage, but rejected offstage by those who blame her for causing moral decay in her community.
The script is based on a short story by Intan Paramaditha that was first published in an anthology titled "Kumpulan Budak Setan" ("The Devil's Slaves Club"), which also featured works by writers Ugoran Prasad and Eka Kurniawan.
Each author wrote four stories for the book that aimed to redefine the horror genre. Intan's story also explored issues of gender and sexuality, and it was those themes that caught the attention of playwright Naomi Srikandi.
The pair decided to collaborate on the theater project after discussing the idea at the Symposium of Performance in Indonesia (SPIN) in 2009.
Participants at the symposium discussed the effect of the "performance" of religious piety on those deemed to be the national "other," including women and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Intan's story paid particular attention to this phenomenon at the turn of the millennium, when a new social order was being defined for Indonesia after the fall of the Suharto regime.
At that time, Intan said, many people turned to religion as a stable touchstone at a time of great uncertainty. It was not so much people's religion that changed, but their public performance of their religion.
"When I grew up in the '80s, no one I knew wore a jilbab," Intan said, using the Indonesian word for the Islamic headscarf. "Back then there was no FPI [Islamic Defenders Front], no Internet and no Anti-Pornography Law."
The character of Salimah is in part based on dangdut performer Inul Daratista, whose "drilling" dance moves became a recurring topic of debate during the drafting of the Anti-Pornography Law.
The debate centered on whether Inul's erotic dance moves up on the stage could be deemed pornographic, and what such a label would mean for the entire genre of dangdut, a uniquely Indonesian style of music and dance based on Indian and Arab influences.
As with Inul, Salimah's body becomes politicized as she copes with the many conflicting labels that people attach to her onstage and offstage actions as a dangdut performer.
"The question of how we see things becomes central," Intan said. "That's what the play is about. How do you see, for instance, a dangdut singer, Pak Haji [a man who has made the hajj pilgrimage] or someone with a jilbab today?"
As co-writer and director of "Goyang Penasaran," Naomi made the decision to cast a man in the lead role of Salimah, further challenging the audience's perception of the character and his or her sexuality.
The critical edge of "Goyang Penasaran" made it the perfect fit for Teater Garasi, an arts collective whose mission is to tackle a variety of social issues in its performances.
The play was first staged in Yogyakarta last December, funded by a grant from the Kelola Foundation's Empowering Women Artists program.
For the Jakarta show, Teater Garasi appealed to its audience to raise funds via crowd-funding website www.indiegogo.com. The target of $3,000 was reached last week, making it the first theater project in Indonesia to be funded by its audience in this way.
The show opens at Salihara tonight, and will also be staged to coincide with Kartini Day, a day dedicated to national feminist figure Kartini, on Friday, April 21.

Stricter pollution regulations would be a breath of fresh air
dustmagnet heber city, UTDec. 4, 2012 7:55 a.m.
It is not about loosing jobs or industry, it is about loosing lives - it is about industry using the techniques that have been developed and that are required to be in place, in many States, to curb the pollution, something that the State of Utah's DEQ is not willing to insist on. Yes their profits would be lower for the short term as the necessary equipment is bought and put in place but they would still be able to operate and curb the pollution.

Re: Tom Gillilan LONG BEACH, CA
Instead of blubbering about the current price for a gallon of gasoline in California the good folks in that state should be proud that they have limited the number of refineries producing that product.
It is unfortunate that Utah is downwind of California and all their air pollution. Keep sending us your jobs, not your bad air.

Dr.Moench monthly letters are great for raising hackles. But why does he turn on the lights in the morning when he awakes. He hasn't stopped his use of copper, oil, and transportation. If he truely has a medical practice, it is full of equipment requiring the items he deems should not be produced. No one wants dirty air, but get real, what are you willing to do without. The food you eat, the cloths you wear, the street you walk on, the car you drive, are all based on copper, oil, coal and other mined metals. So if you are going to support Dr. Moench's letter, tell us what you have done to eliminate all uses. Remember just a little use is demand for the products.
Ernest T. Bass Bountiful, UTOct. 8, 2012 8:44 a.m.
Tell that to the legislature. Last time anyone tried to clean up the air, repub legislators shot it down. Evidently they believe bad air = good for business.
PeanutGallery Salt Lake City, UTOct. 7, 2012 6:33 p.m.
This op-ed is "what we've come to expect" from Dr. Moench. The doctor is an environmental activist who is opposed to mining, fossil fuels, and nuclear power. But his opposition is not based on science, it's based on ideology, emotion, and manufactured fear.
The serious threats that Dr. Moench warns us about are minimal or non-existent. The "endocrine disruptors" issue is a false health scare that was debunked years ago.
If we follow his recommendations, this would further damage our economy and kill jobs, while providing little or no provable health benefit.
Tom Gillilan LONG BEACH, CAOct. 7, 2012 10:20 a.m.
Great article Mr. Moench. Well reasoned and properly documented except to those who want to sweep human health under the rug and give the pollution pigs a blank check.
Trusting the DAQ in matters like this is a BIG MISTAKE. DAQ is unwilling to recognize our personal need for our own safe and healthy breathing air. They are not willing to provide quality air for us as individuals. We as individuals count for nothing in their grand scheme of things. They are masters of deceit and professional liars to boot. They provide WINDOW DRESSING ONLY
Wood burning, in any form, is the most intense and concentrated form of toxic air pollution the average citizen is exposed to.
Hellooo Salt Lake City, UTOct. 7, 2012 6:09 a.m.
Mr. Moench"s article is well intended, but his use of this summer's air pollution as an introduction to a need for stricter regulations on the oil refinery expansion demonstrates the author's extreme bias in these matters. He knows that this summer's extensive air pollution problems were caused in the main by raging fires throughout the state and intermountain region. No amount of increased state regulation, unless it were to control for non-man made fires, and reduce population along the Wasatch Front would have much if any impact on the level of the region's air pollution this summer. Further, the contention that less exposure is more harmful than greater exposure to the harmful elements, seems to contradict his thesis. These types of articles and fear mongering do little to provide real help to improving the quality of our air or encouraging state regulators and legislators to hold industry to higher standards. A more reasoned, and better documented opinion would do much better in this regard.

Cultures Merging:
"Economists agree about many things--contrary to popular opinion--but the majority agree about culture only in the sense that they no longer give it much thought." So begins the first chapter of Cultures Merging, in which Eric Jones--one of the world's leading economic historians--takes an eloquent, pointed, and personal look at the question of whether culture determines economics or is instead determined by it.
Bringing immense learning and originality to the issue of cultural change over the long-term course of global economic history, Jones questions cultural explanations of much social behavior in Europe, East Asia, the United States, Australia, and the Middle East. He also examines contemporary globalization, arguing that while centuries of economic competition have resulted in the merging of cultures into fewer and larger units, these changes have led to exciting new syntheses.
Culture matters to economic outcomes, Jones argues, but cultures in turn never stop responding to market forces, even if some elements of culture stubbornly persist beyond the time when they can be explained by current economic pressures. In the longer run, however, cultures show a fluidity that will astonish some cultural determinists. Jones concludes that culture's "ghostly transit through history" is much less powerful than noneconomists often claim, yet it has a greater influence than economists usually admit.
The product of a lifetime of reading and thinking on culture and economics, a work of history and an analysis of the contemporary world, Cultures Merging will be essential reading for anyone concerned about the interaction of cultures and markets around the world.
Eric L. Jones is Professorial Fellow at Melbourne Business School, University of Melbourne; Emeritus Professor at La Trobe University; and Visiting Professor at Exeter University. He is the author of The European Miracle and numerous other books and articles on economic history, economic development, international affairs, and environmental history.
"Jones's scholarship is enormous, and the book is full of fascinating facts. . . . He writes clearly with an absence of jargon, which makes the book accessible to a wide audience. Economists could certainly benefit from the way it opens up a wider set of perspectives. And . . . there is more than enough interesting material to make the book worthwhile for the more general reader."--Paul Ormerod, Times Higher Education Supplement
"Jones' book is important because it links our economic past and future with our ideas about culture."--Mark Trahant, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"An accessible, illuminating, and inspiring book."--Avner Greif, EH.net
"Eric Jones is intelligent, literate, and eclectic. His comments range over many fields besides economic history, and he writes in a sprightly manner. The book is fun to read, and it engages one of the big issues of economic history: the role of culture in economic affairs."--Peter Temin, Economic History Review
"Eric L. Jones has written an interesting and well-argued critique of two positions that he believes are well entrenched in the economic history literature. The first, which he terms 'cultural nullity', is widely held by economists and assigns no or at best a trivial role to culture in explaining economic outcomes. Second, Jones criticizes those (often historians) who think of a 'cultural fixity', in which an unchanging culture dominates every other aspect of life. . . . Jones marshals an impressive and at times amusing range of illustrations of the fluidity of cultures."--Harold James, International History Review
"Cultures Merging is a remarkable historical tour de force presenting a wealth of argument to indicate the role of economic forces in the modification of culture and vice versa."--Arthur Webb, Journal of Cultural Economics

Last updated on Thursday 4.45am (EAT)
By Pascal Kwesiga
KAMPALA - Today marks the beginning of ten days of Uganda's enumeration exercise and the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has warned the census enumerators against possible rapists.
The UBOS executive director, Dr. Ben Mungyereza, reminded the enumerators that entering peoples' houses is not a must during the exercise.
He observed that some criminals may take advantage of the much anticipated National Population and Housing census to commit crimes against enumerators.
"We would like to inform the enumerators to beware of rapists who may take advantage of the situation and rape them.
Entering one's house is not a must and if someone welcomes you to their house do not just enter," Mungyereza said.
Addressing a press conference at Media Center in Kampala Wednesday, the state minister for finance in charge of planning, Matia Kasaija, asked the male enumerators to also beware of female rapists. "Even men need to be careful because they can also be raped," he added.
Kasaija and Mungyereza were answering questions from journalists ahead of the census exercise. The enumerators will be visiting peoples' homes for enumeration strictly between 7:00am to 6:00pm.

Weston wins after count back at Axe Cliff
PUBLISHED: 19:44 11 December 2012
Despite the icy start, there was little breeze to trouble the 32 seniors competing in the Axe Cliff Golf November Stableford last Friday, writes Janet Dack.
Conditions did favour the later starters so it was no surprise that the winner and runner-up came from the back of the field.
Both netted 38 points and the victor, on count back, was Dave Weston (21) with Keith Wilson (12) having to settle for second place.
One point behind on 37 was Roger Hill (18) to claim third place.
There were three two's from winner Dave Weston, Mike Jamieson and Rob Heard.
After their AGM the new Axe Cliff lady captain Sandra Walker organized a stableford competition.
The sunshine was glorious albeit a little chilly!
First place went to Glenda Board.
In second place was Alison Cook and in third place Leslie Crawford

Ladies, we need a new rule: No greasy talking about celebrity children. That means the children of celebrities and the children who are celebrities. Now, I know you don't do it personally, but maybe you know someone who does. Forward this on to someone who needs the message.
Last week, actress Tia Mowry posted a memo that no mother should ever have to. Apparently the sometimes not-so-nice things that have been said online about her precious 1-year-old son, Cree, have reached her ears. On Facebook, she defended her precious baby boy from "friends," followers and fans who made vicious comments about him. (They are too rude to repeat here.)
"It's disgusting that some focus on looks," Mowry wrote on her Wall. "I brought a beautiful child into this world."

Rollins ties Ashburn on Phillies' all-time hits list
MIAMI -- Jimmy Rollins said Sunday his pursuit of the franchise's all-time hits record isn't going fast enough.
But he seems to be on a pretty good pace. Just a few days after he passed Ed Delahanty for sole possession of third place on the Phillies' hit list, he picked up two hits Wednesday at Marlins Park to tie Richie Ashburn for second place with 2,217 hits. The hit that tied "Whitey" came on a single to right field in the fifth inning.
Rollins needs just 17 more hits to tie Mike Schmidt's mark of 2,234 hits.

Technological choice by a principal is added to the standard moral hazard model. It is argued that this is an important margin of choice. Two examples are provided in which the choice has significant implications. In one it drastically simplifies the optimal contract. In the other, it demonstrates that the principal may be willing to choose a technologically inferior means of production to ease incentive problems.

I get these catalogs all the time from big-deal art museums like the Metropolitan in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and they wanna sell me art to either wear on my body or put on top of my TV set.
And these are not SMALL catalogs. These are, like, 9,000-item selections.
How about a Greek Horse pin adapted from a bronze horse found at Olympia in 750 BC? You can pin one to your lapel for 28 bucks. In other words, if you go to the museum and find the "Classical Bronzes from Thessaly" department, you'll see a bronze horse from 750 BC.
But if you don't have time to go to the museum, you can get a cheap miniature copy to wear to the office.
What am I missing here? Should I feel left out because I don't have a cat-food bowl with Winslow Homer watercolors on the side?
Am I hopelessly unhip because I don't have a tie with Egyptian cave paintings on it?
Should I take down the painting of "Poker Playing Dogs" over my mantel and put up a gold scarf with Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" on it?
And who is Gustav Klimt?
What is wrong with this picture?
You can get ANYTHING with High Art on it now. You can get Picasso jockstraps from these people. What happened to going to the museum with your third-grade teacher, looking at the art, listening to the lady with orthopedic shoes explain it, then running outside and climbing on the steel girder modern-art thingy?
Now we would be expected to stop in the gift shop and buy an ashtray for Dad in the shape of the steel girder modern-art thingy.
Is this supposed to make Dad feel good?
I think not. Listen up.
I don't want the Mona Lisa on my shirt, my hat, my butt or the soles of my shoes. I want the Mona Lisa hangin' on the wall where it belongs. The last thing we need is more junk to throw in a drawer where you forget about it until you move, when you go: "Oh, look! I forgot all about this! My Rembrandt!"
Isn't there something a little, uh, JUNKY about all this? Aren't these supposed to be ART MUSEUMS? As the lady in orthopedic shoes used to say, "Don't we all want to treat the museum with RESPECT?"
Leave the catalogs to Spencer Gifts, people. I thank you, and the spirit of Toulouse-Lautrec thanks you.
Speaking of trends in modern living, this week's flick, Friend of the Family, is the story of a dysfunctional Malibu family that solves all its problems after an oversexed good-time girl named Elke shows up and starts getting intimate with Mom, Dad, Sis and Junior.
Think of an "After-School Special," but with hot, steamy, slow-motion sex every five minutes. Penthouse Pet Shauna O'Brien is the walking Goodwill Box who rings the doorbell one day, introduces herself to the stepmom as an old friend of a friend and ends up installed in the guest house.
Dad is a workaholic lawyer who doesn't have time to have sex with his wife.
Sis is so promiscuous she's known at the high school as a United Way Agency-- which is good for us, since Sis is played by the enormously talented Lissa Boyle.
And Junior is an aspiring film student who's so awkward with girls that he can't even admit he'd like to rip the clothes off Sis' best friend, Raelyn Saalman, and ravish her in his nerdy bedroom.
Shauna goes to work and 90 minutes later, everyone is crying, hugging and finally having sex with someone other than Shauna.
Thirty breasts. Hot-tub aardvarking. Flashback aardvarking. Eurotrash aardvarking. Back-seat aardvarking. Gratuitous nekkid pool-dancing.
Drive-In Academy Award nominations for...
*Annelyn Griffin Drew, as the sexually frustrated alcoholic stepmom, for saying: "My house! My rules!"
*Lissa Boyle, as the hot-to-trot daughter, for saying, "You're just a second wife, Linda, a second-rate wife!"
*Shauna O'Brien, as the sexual guardian angel, for saying, "It's your body--you can do whatever you want with it."
*C.T. Miller, as the dad who learns to sleep with his wife's best friend so he can keep his family together, for saying, "You've been filling everyone with delusions!"
*And Raelynn Saalman, as the daughter's best friend, who sums up the whole movie when she says, "Take my dress off."
Three stars.
Joe Bob says check it out.
Mr. Briggs:
I'm confused about a letter published in your column. Mrs. Sarah A. Scott of Kensington, Calif., asked, quite negatively: "Where the hell were you born and raised? Middletown, America, I'm sure." She continued, "Just focus on the personalities of people in general and not on stereotypes of certain races and sexes."
If this stormtrooper of Political Correctness opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, she'd vomit at what she saw.
I'm a small-town white male born for all intents and purposes in "Middletown, America." Perhaps the esteemed and overtly hypocritical Mrs. Scott should "just focus on the personalities of people in general and not on stereotypes of certain races and sexes."
I've written this letter in support of your column. You are doing a great job of body-slamming those who would strip the nation of its First Amendment rights and try to ensure that only their ideals and beliefs are published.
Outstanding job, Mr. Briggs.
Karl J. Feldman, Jr., Augusta, Ga.
Dear Karl:
Ever since the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it just hasn't been cool to be from a small town. They think we're all cannibals or something.
Dear Joey Bob:
The new name of your newsletter is pathetically uncreative. "The Joe Bob Report" sounds like a Tom Brokaw show, like a government commission paper on the JFK assassination, like the morning farm show on Channel 8. Here are some suggestions:
Joe Bob's Boob Report
The Gospel According to Joe Bob
Joe Bob's Bull
Joe Bob's Ramblings
The Wisdom of Joe Bob
Joe Bob's Mystical Wisdom
Joe Bob's Drive-In Gospel
Joe Bob's Films and Other Junk
Your humbull servant,
Allen Fischer, Richardson, Texas
Dear Allen:
Bless you, my son, you are correct. I should have named the newsletter something that truly celebrates my favorite subject--me.

About FDA
FDA Organizational Histories
Brief Organizational History
In his 1837 annual report, Patent Commissioner Henry L. Ellsworth recommended a national agency for the encouragement of agriculture. Congress responded in 1839 by an appropriation of $1000 to the Commissioner of Patents for "the collection of agricultural statistics, and for other agricultural purposes." From then on, the Patent Office collected and reported agricultural statistics, sponsored or conducted chemical investigations on agricultural matters, monitored agricultural developments, and reported on all of these in its annual reports. Beginning in 1849, a separate report was made by the Patent Commissioner to Congress on agricultural matters. An Agricultural Division was established in the Patent Office and a chemical laboratory was created in that Division.
In 1846, Professor Lewis C. Beck, M.D., of Rutgers College and Albany Medical College, published the first American treatise on adulteration of food and drugs. Two years later, at the request of Patent Commissioner Edmund burke, Congress appropriated $1000 for the Commissioner of Patents to conduct chemical analyses of "vegetable substances produced and used for the food of man and animals in the United States." Commissioner Burke recruited Dr. Beck to do this work for the Patent Office. Dr. Beck submitted his Report on the Breadstuffs of the United States in 1849 and a second report in 1850.
When the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was created by Congress in 1862, it included authorization to employ chemists. The Agricultural Division of the Patent Office, including its chemical laboratory, was transferred to the new department and the USDA occupied the office space in the basement of the Patent Office that previously had belonged to that Division. The first Commissioner of Agriculture, Isaac Newton, immediately established the Chemical Division from the former Patent Office chemical laboratory, which became the Division of Chemistry in 1890. Charles M. Wetherill was appointed to the position of Chemist of the Department in 1862 and early on he focused on means to improve the wine industry, fertilizers and other endeavors, but soon the chemist began investigating the adulteration of agricultural commodities. The small staff grew and in 1901 had become the Bureau of Chemistry; the Food, Drug, and Insecticide Administration in 1927; and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1930. The FDA was transferred from the USDA to the Federal Security Agency in 1940 and to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1953, which became the Department of Health and Human Services in 1979. The following served as Chemist/Chief Chemist/Chief prior to Harvey W. Wiley's appointment as Chief Chemist in 1883.
(1862-1864) (1866-1871) Ryland T. Brown William McMurtrie (1873-1878) Peter Collier
Charles Mayer Wetherill Henri Erni(1864- 1866) Thomas Antisell (1872-1873) (1878-1883)

The game developers have positioned this game as something you can play with your friends, who can be anywhere in the world. All you need to do to get the Chrome experiment and play with your friends is share a link. Thanks to WebRTC, video-chats with your friends is now as easy as logging in.
How does the game work? The objective of the Cube Slam, as the name suggests, is to hit a cube that rests in the game board on your opponent's screen. Users have to hit the cube against the opponent's screen thrice to get it to explode. But it's not as simple as playing Air Hockey.
Google has now launched Cube Slam, a two player game that can be played from anywhere in the world... (image credit: Google)
Players will have to circumvent a multitude of obstacles cluttering the game field to get to the opponent's screen. And there is an option to use shields. As players progress to higher levels, everything in the game changes, from the obstacles to the game field itself. Even the gravitational field that the cube works under will change.
The game adds to this by providing a range of power-ups, including, but not limited to, fireballs, lasers, multi-balls, mirrored controls, bulletproof shields, fog, ghost balls, time bombs, resized paddles, extra lives and death balls. The game developers have warned against using the death balls in their offical blog though, so it may be advisable to keep that in mind.
Developers have also addressed the 'who to play when no one is online' problem. A computer generated opponent nicknamed Bob the bear can be played against in Cube Slam. And if users don't want to play online, they can install the Cube Slam app and play against Bob on their phone or tablet. However, if they want to play against their friends while on the move, there may be some wait, because WebRTC, on which the game is built, will only be available on mobile later in the year. As of now, Cube Slam can be played on any browser. Check it out to see how well you fare against Bob the bear.

text: The question of succession in Egypt is a surprisingly open one, and the country's entire political future rests on it. An astonishing aspect of Hosni Mubarak's twenty-two-year rule--though it is little discussed outside the Middle East--is that he has never appointed a Vice President or anointed an heir, something that neither Sadat nor Nasser dared to neglect. His dilemma has always been whether to appoint a civilian or a military man. Now, finally, he seems to be grooming an heir in each camp: one a general, the other an entrepreneur; the first arguably his closest aide, the second his son.Until not so long ago few Egyptians even knew who Lieutenant General Omar Suleiman, Egypt's powerful chief of intelligence, was. Suleiman, sixty-seven, had moved quietly through the shadows for years. But then, curiously, the general began coming out. And his emergence was all the more curious because it coincided with the rise of Gamal Mubarak, the President's forty-year-old younger son. Suleiman, a member of Egypt's highest caste, the military, which considers itself destined to rule, came of age on the battlefields of the Arab-Israeli wars. He stands for law and order and stability. Gamal--only a child in 1967, when the most devastating of those wars occurred--came of age in his father's palaces and at the best of Egypt's universities and private clubs. He is meant to represent cautious economic and one-party political reform. Many consider Suleiman too old and Gamal too young; neither generates enthusiasm from the Egyptian intellectuals and professionals over whom he might rule. But the profile of each has risen dramatically in the past two and a half years, and the chattering classes are chattering, endlessly: Should Mubarak and his generals promote another soldier from within the regime? Should they join other leaders of the authoritarian Arab world in establishing the incongruous concept of a republican dynasty? Would the military countenance such a thing? Or is now the time to permit a free and fair election, with the probability that an outsider--almost certainly from the Muslim Brotherhood--will win? Should Mubarak anoint a son, a soldier, or a sheikh?How these questions are answered will be critical not only for Egypt but also for the United States, and for the rest of the Arab world--a world in which what happens in Cairo, the region's geopolitical, cultural, and intellectual capital, has always been a harbinger of things to come.

Kuchar grabs lead at 10 under
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Webb Simpson called himself the "temporary leader" after completing two rounds of The Barclays on Friday and seeing his name alone at the top of the scoreboard at 9 under.
"A lot of guys are playing good golf and my guess is at the end of two rounds I won't be leading because there are a lot of birdie holes," Simpson had said after finishing off solid 66 while half the field was still on the course.
Simpson will need to wait until the second round is completed on Saturday morning to see if his words actually came true -- but when darkness suspended play at 7:45 p.m. ET he had indeed just been bypassed by Matt Kuchar.
Kuchar, who came into the Playoffs ranked second in the FedExCup, made his move as he made the turn late Friday afternoon. He birdied three straight starting at the eighth hole and actually made five birdies in an eight-hole stretch that began at No. 6.
Kuchar had completed 13 holes when play was suspended. The second round will resume at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and once the cut is made, players will be sent out in threesomes off two tees in the third round.
Gary Woodland sprinted to the 18th tee so he could finish his round of 64 that got him to 9 under and into a tie with Simpson. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose was 4 under through 14 holes and had joined the group tied for four at 7 under.
Seven players are tied at 6 under with Henrik Stenson, Jim Furyk and Morgan Hoffman still on the course through 14, 14 and 10 holes, respectively.
Tiger Woods, who leads the FedExCup, is among a big group at 5 under and will return to face a 13-footer for birdie at the 13th hole. He is playing with Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker, who clocks in at No. 3 in the FedExCup but is 2 over for the tournament and in danger of missing the cut.
The current cut line is even par and would include 78 players. Anyone ranked 101st or higher in the FedExCup who does not survive to play the weekend will not have a chance to advance to next week's Deutsche Bank Championship, which is the second Playoffs event.
So three players who withdrew have already been eliminated -- No. 125 Ben Crane, who played four holes in the second round before a back injury flared up, No. 107 Lucas Glover who left after three with a wrist injury and No. 109 Justin Hicks, who managed 12 holes before withdrawing with a hip flexor.
David Lingmerth also withdrew with one hole remaining in his second round. But he came in ranked 45th in the FedExCup and will advance to the Deutsche Bank Championship.

STANDARD-SETTING, INNOVATION SPECIALISTS AND COMPETITION POLICY -super-
Using a simple model of patent licensing followed by product-market competition, this paper investigates several competition policy questions related to standard-setting organizations (SSO's). It concludes that competition policy should not favor patent-holders who practice their patents against innovation specialists who do not, that SSO's should not be required to conduct auctions among patent-holders before standards are set in order to determine post-standard royalty rates (though less formal ex ante competition should be encouraged), and that antitrust policy should not allow or encourage collective negotiation of patent royalty rates. Some recent policy developments in this area are discussed. Copyright 2009 The Authors.

While touring the Freedom Trail, the mister and I had a thought. We're doing exactly what every tourist would do in Boston: walking the red painted line that demarcates the freedom of America's forefathers. There is no way this trail can be considered "off the beaten path." In fact, it's probably one of the most beaten paths in the States, just shy of Robert Frost's famous "diverged fork in the road" path.
Our goal for two days in Boston was to explore every cultural aspect of the city. Had we not planned to tour the Freedom Trail, we both feel we would have done a disservice to the cultural and historical integrity that make up Boston. Visiting a country and learning about its history is one of the best ways to show appreciation for that country.
It is was then that we realized there is no such thing as "off the beaten path." Trying to find a place that can't be considered touristy and labeling it as "off the beaten path" is pointless. We are all visitors/tourists/travelers in a local's eyes, no matter what superior labeling we give ourselves. We'll always be a gringo, a farang, or a 老外 (literal translation: Old Outsider). So, why try to purposely avoid specifics to make yourself admirable. Consider these:
Tourist Spots are Tourist Spots for a Reason
Tourist spots are labeled as such because of their history. They are what make the country as we know it today. Unfortunately, for those who strive to travel "off the beaten path," they may just miss out on the history of a particular place. Paris wouldn't have been Paris if we didn't visit the Eiffel Tower, or the Louvre. Thailand wouldn't have been Thailand if we didn't pay homage to the various temples. The list could go on, but the fact is, we wouldn't have been good travelers if we didn't respect the institutions that make a country what it is. Furthermore, who are we to decide that those tourist spots are on or off the beaten path.
The Douche-y Attitude of Off The Beaten Path
On occasion, the mister likes to help people plan their own travels on various travel forums. One particular question stood out to him: a lady was asking other users how to get to Stonehenge from London with only four days in the city.
Instead of helping the woman, other users berated her traveling abilities by saying that they would not waste their time at Stonehenge and therefore the lady shouldn't either. The problem is that all these "helpers" had visited Stonehenge and had concluded that such a historical place has become too inundated by tourists; essentially, by people like them.
Instead of joining the "off the beaten path" gang, the mister suggested a few routes for the lady to take so that she could come up with her own conclusion to Stonehenge. It's this "holier-than-thou" attitude by "off the beaten pathers" that can wreak havoc on people who are just trying to transcend their travels (even if it means visiting a bunch of touristy rocks).
You're Not Carpe Diem-ing your Travels
Then there is the incessant need for off the beaten path travelers to get away from the so-called typical tourist areas. Sitting in a bar, eating at an unknown restaurant, or traveling some supposedly unknown path seem to be the modus operandi for these travelers.
As if no one has ever done those things before…
The truth is everyone has done those things before. A lot of people have discovered the really good beer at the super cool bar. Lots of people have eaten at the unknown restaurant or that place would have gone out of business. Tons of people have traveled that unknown path or you wouldn't have found it. The whole world is a tourist spot. There is not one "path" on this green earth that hasn't been beaten-down by a person, whether that person is local or otherwise. It just hasn't been beaten-down by you yet.
Take, for example, the time I discovered Thousand Steps Beach in Laguna Beach. It's probably the most beautiful beach in Southern California with the most beautiful sunsets known to man. For 21 years of my life, this place was unknown to me. Even as a local, I had no idea this place existed. Essentially, I was a "tourist" in my own backyard. But, that doesn't mean other people–locally or world-wide–didn't know 1000 Steps Beach existed. If that's the case, it certainly wouldn't be fair of me to label the beach as "off the beaten path."
There's a lot of Money in Off the Beaten Path Travel
A quick google search of the phrase "off the beaten path" brings up at least ten "Top 10 off the beaten path destinations." If a place is less-roamed, how did it make its way on a Top 10 list?
The search also brings up several "off the beaten path" tour companies and several "off the beaten path" guidebooks. As you can see, it's profitable to market "off the beaten path" travel. People can make a lot of money off your desire to be different or to do something different. It's all a scheme and eventually that little hidden gem is going to be swamped by tourists because everyone bought the same guidebook.
The Issue of "Off the Beaten Path" Being Some Undiscovered Area
If people live there, then a place is not secluded (penguins of Antarctica included). It is not a place that desires to be "discovered," "tamed," "studied," "judged," "explored" and so on. Locals are doing that everyday.
I would like to think we're past the days of colonization. But, if we're desiring to travel to "unknown" places, we're doing so with the guise that the place may be a little savage; as if it needs discovery from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows this guy's cousin who went to some far-reaching area of the edge of Burma to tell you that that place is safe enough for travel and that "the people" who live there are "pretty cool," too.
But, There's Nothing Wrong With Getting a Little Lost on Your Travels
It's ok to put down the GPS or the phone or the map for a moment and take in all the beauties of a place. We've said it before and we'll say it again: every place is beautiful and has something to offer, no matter what.
It's perfectly ok to have to point to food when ordering because you don't know the language.
It's also perfectly fine to get a little lost. Getting lost happens in travel. The results of getting lost are what make "off the beaten path" travel. It's a place that's new to you, not a place you paid $20 to have a guidebook tell you to get lost in. It's a place where you make the memories, not your tour guide. It's a place where thousands of other people may be, looking at the same thing you're looking at, but because you cherish culture and learning so much, you feel like you're the only one there.
It's that feeling of awe and appreciation, that single unique feeling of wonder, that sets you apart from the others who are just there for the sake of saying they've been there, done that and bought the t-shirt. That is what traveling should be and for us, that has made all the difference.Not off the beaten path in Scotland.
Ever had that feeling of appreciation on your travels? How do you transcend your travels?

Spurs defender Kaboul denies Arsenal link
4:14pm Wednesday 2nd April 2014
4:14pm Wednesday 2nd April 2014
Spurs defender Younes Kaboul has taken to Twitter to quash rumours that he will follow in Sol Campbell's footsteps by joining North London rivals Arsenal on a free transfer.
Kaboul, 28, is out of contract at White Hart Lane at the end of the current campaign, and had been heavily linked with a move across North London earlier today.
However, the French international has since taken to his personal Twitter account to deny rumours that he is set to join the Gunners at the end of the current campaign.
I can confirm 100% that the rumour about me joining Arsenal is not true!!! #coys— Younes Kaboul (@YounsKabs4) April 2, 2014
Kaboul is now in his second spell at Tottenham having re-signed from Portsmouth in 2010 for fee of £9.5m, however injury has restricted him to just 67 Premier League starts since.

While working around the house yesterday, with my iTunes playing on shuffle, this song came on. I was not very familiar with it, as my kids load up my Ipod with some of their music as well. It's Finger Eleven, "I'll Keep Your Memory Vague." I love it. The sound is haunting and the lyrics perfect. I could see a flashback scene with Edward, in physical pain, thinking of Bella. Or Bella, when she is gripping her stomach in pain, it fits.Originally Posted by ClosetNerd;3250758;
Here are the lyrics. There is a video on the tubie site, good stuff!
This won't break your heart
But I just think it could
Cause I haven't tried as hard as I should
To separate you from everything I do
But I would never want to come between us two
I'll keep your memory vague
So you won't feel bad about me
I'll say the things that you said
Sometimes so it reminds me
Now I'm thinking back
To what I said before
I hope your heart won't have to hurt anymore
Cause it's really not that sad from here
Because the moments I can feel you near
They keep you close to me my dear
And if they ever become too clear...
Now you've gone away
Don't worry it's ok
That you're gone away
Further than yesterday
But you'll never leave these scenes
My mind replays
Where in the world have you gone now?

Taylor Lautner is Jacob! I know many will not be thrilled with this, but many will. Here is the statement from Chris Weitz and Stephenie.
StephenieMeyer.com | Twilight Series | New Moon | The MovieGood news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:
I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.
The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.
very best
Chris Weitz
I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moonwhat was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.
- Steph
well, I'm happy with the decision. And eager to see how his transformation will be.
~There is no way to Happiness. Happiness is the way.~
I think I am happy with it as well, mostly because I think Taylor would have been devastated to have this role taken from him, for no fault of his own. I am hoping that we'll all be pleasantly surprised that he can bring more to the role of Jacob than we thought. Plus, now his millions of screaming teenage fans don't have to fall into the pits of despair.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

Also, I'm just a sucker for consistency. I used to haaaate when a TV show would change a character's actor or actress.. Just write them off!
~There is no way to Happiness. Happiness is the way.~
I'm good with him staying. When do they start shooting the new movie?
If you type "google" into google you can break the internet.
Well, I'm not thrilled. But I'll wait & hope to be surprised by the "new" Taylor. I certainly don't blame him for aggressively pursuing the role. Jacob is really the male lead in New Moon and it will be huge for his career if he can pull it off. I'm dying to see who else will be cast. The imdb page only has Pattinson & Stewart, along with the rest of the actors who play the younger Cullen family members.
All my life, I have felt destiny tugging at my sleeve.~ Thursday Next

5Dii: covert hotpixel mapping ?
I just had a weird experience with my almost-brand-new 5Dii (bought from first owner, who went to the dark side after 3 month with Canon).
I love the camera, which is a tremendous upgrade from my (otherwise trusty) 5D.
But, alas, the 5Dii came complete with at glowing red hot pixel, very very clear at higher iso. Same coordinates in all shots.
I consulted the net, and found the following advice, which is a little strange:
"Put the camera in the mode for manual cleaning (wet/air), keep it there for 1 minute (with mirror up and shutter open). Then shut off the camera. No actual cleaning attempt should be done; neither is it necessary to remove the lens."
I did precisely that and the hot pixel disappeared. Completely.
Only meaningfull explanation is that the firmware makes a covert mapping out of hot pixels (and what else?) when physical sensor cleaning is attempted.
Anybody know something about this ?
Is it known behaviour ?
Firmware is 2.1.1

Musical with 'timeless appeal' opening Friday at Granite Theatre
Musical with 'timeless appeal' opening Friday at Granite Theatre
WESTERLY — As the sun set one evening last week, casting peaceful, golden shadows on downtown Westerly, one big white house at the top of Granite Street was bursting with life.
It was rehearsal night for "The Sound of Music" at the Granite Theatre and people of all ages were filling the building with action and sound.
With just days to go until opening night, set for Friday, the musical, with its enormous cast, is in the midst of full rehearsals. A chorus of female voices coming from the top floor blended with the sound of children's laughter and floated outside into the evening air.
Upstairs, onstage, the actresses in the roles of Mother Abbess and her nuns were singing "How do you Solve a Problem like Maria."
Downstairs, the children cast as the von Trapp siblings were noisily waiting to try on their costumes.
Elena Fusaro, a second-grader at Springbrook School, wearing a pair of sparkly, silver sequined sneakers, twirled around and around a lally column while chatting away with Michaela Pendola, a junior at Westerly High School, who plays the role of Luisa.
"I really like the beginning part when we all march to Maria," said Elena, grinning from ear to ear.
"I love the first time we meet Maria and sing 'Do, a Deer,'" said Pendola as she danced around the room.
The girls are part of the children's "Cast B." With the demands of the production, and the time required for each rehearsal and performance, there are two teams of child actors — A and B — which makes for more than 20 youngsters in the show.
Given the number of actors, costumes and songs, and the complexity of the set, the musical is an enormous show for any theater group to produce.
For David Jepson, the artistic director of the Renaissance City Theatre Inc., the producing entity at the Granite Theatre of Westerly, the time was right to share the story — one of the most beloved musicals written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and their final collaboration — with Westerly area audiences. Jepson said he last directed the musical in 1999 when he was with the City Nights Theatre in Pawtucket.
"It's got such audience appeal and it's timeless," said Jepson, who directs the show. "It continues to stir the emotions."
One of the most popular musicals of all time, the story is based on the true story of the Trapp family singers.
"I still get choked up at some of the scenes," added Jepson. "No matter how many times I've seen them they still bring tears to my eyes."
The cast includes 27 characters — 11 of them children (well more than 20 for this production) — and 49 costumes, seven for each child.
"We had to buy a new rack for all of them," said Beth Jepson, as she reached for a dress for Rochelle Weinrauch, who plays Maria, the high-spirited novitiate who captures the heart of the stern Capt. von Trapp and his children.
"It's my dream role," said Weinrauch, "it's a nice juicy role to sink my teeth into."
Weinrauch, who owns Simply Enchanted — a Westerly-based company that sends princesses and fairytale characters to children's birthdays and other special events — is used to dressing up and playing roles. She's played Rapunzel, Snow White, Mary Poppins and Cinderella, but the role of Maria holds a special place in her heart.
"My dad was born in Austria, right outside Salzburg," she said. "So this is pretty exciting for me and my family."
For Bill Maruscello, who plays Capt. von Trapp, the play is a family affair. His 10-year old daughter Maria plays one of the Martas, in Cast B.
"It's a wonderful challenging role," said Maruscello, who by day works as a quality analyst at Pfizer. "And to be able to do it with my daughter is a treat, as is having David as a director. He is a thoughtful, supportive director."
Nearby, Maruscello's daughter, a third-grader at the Meadowbrook Waldorf School, waited to try on her costume, a blue and white middy blouse. "My real favorite part is sitting backstage and listening to Elsa, Max and my dad singing," she said. "I really like when they sing 'No Way to Stop.'"
David Jepson directs the show with Stephen DeCesare as the musical director and Lisa Clough as the choreographer. In addition to Weinrauch and Martuscello the cast includes Dale Magnuson as Mother Abbess, Ed Benjamin III as Max, Anna Armagno as Elsa, Max Leatham as Rolf, Stephanie Rodger as Liesl, Denise Lacharite, John Lamar, Sharon Mars, Lorie Olsen, Chantel Reardon, Mandy Solis and Patricia Spencer Smith. The von Trapp children are played by Andrew Faria, Spencer Stanley and, in Cast A, Grace Gilbert, Brigid Fitzgerald, Chloe Morehouse and Bobbie Doherty; and in Cast B, Michaela Pendola, Chloe Kolbenheyer, Maria Martuscello and Elena Fusaro.
The show opens Friday and runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Nov. 17.

For all the social media tools available, it may seem odd to employ an email newsletter. Even so, newsletters offer advantages:
1. More direct access.
An email newsletter is ready to be read whenever and wherever the recipient chooses. Not so with social media. You cannot always be certain a Facebook fan will be online when you post an update, and you have no control of if/when fans will visit your page to catch what they may have missed.
2. Cost effectiveness.

Slayer's "Raining….Banjo" [VIDEO]
Rob Scallon the man who brought us the Slayer classic "War Ensemble" with a ukulele has raised the bar with this cover of Slayer's "Raining Blood" this with a banjo.
"Raining Blood" is taken from the 1986 album "Reign In Blood" which is held very dear by all of us Slayer fans. "Raining Blood" has been covered numerous times and this banjo cover is one of the best covers ever.
I think it's really cool when you can take some of the most recognizable guitar riffs of all time and you can turn them into something that has never been done before.
Checkout the the video and get some banjo in your life, with a touch of Slayer.
