Even if the LDAP backend is implemented as a delivery agent, it should be able to generate bounces. Qmail interprets error code 100 as a permanent error, and 111 as a temporary error. If qmail-ldap generates a 111 if the user is not found in LDAP, I guess that's what should be fixed...

Today was a doozy. We had a 5 hour ride in Boulder planned and it was a mellow ride for me, my last recoveryish day after the 1/2 IM this past weekend. There was 30 minutes of strength tempo work to be had, but mostly a time in the seat ride. Several days ago I wrote this:
I have 26 important days until Kona, and I know that any mistake I make will be punishable by the island gods.
Why oh why don't I listen to myself?
A little background: We have tubeless clincher tires on all three of Troy and I's bikes. They are pricey ($60), but for several years (up until the last few months) we have been flat-free. You have to carry a spare "tire" instead of just a tube, but it's seemed worth it. Three bikes, 6 tires, 3 spares...pricy. Well, I had a super huge flat the other day where I ran over a beer bottle and shredded my tire. When putting on my space I broke the valve stem off and had to call my MIL to pick me up. AND SO because nobody carries these special tires I ended up purchasing two normal tires with tubes for my training wheels on my TT bike at Excel Sports so that I could resume training that evening.
I had a friend ask to borrow a wheel the other day and I gave him my front wheel off my TT bike because it matched the one he wrecked. Totally my choice and I was happy to help my friend out. Little did I know this would be the beginning of a long chain of events.
So I pulled off my front wheel from my road bike and threw that on the TT bike. Now I am in a strange predicament. I have one tubeless tire that requires me to carry a spare TIRE, and one normal tire which requires me to carry a tube. I rode yesterday on it for 1:45, I didn't flat, but my pockets were full of tubes/tires.
This morning when I'm grabbing my bike from the garage I notice the front wheel is very low on air. Humm, must have a leak, but maybe not much. I am rushed as I just found out this issue and PIC is picking me up any moment so I grab a spare tubeless tire and throw it in.
We get to Boulder and here's how it goes:
- Discover huge leak in tubeless tire that is on my front wheel - Change tire to spare tire (so now I have no spare for a front flat) - Make everyone late to meet a friend we are riding with - Very flustered - Get reminder from coach about making good choices for Kona (like not loaning out a wheel that I needed) - Ride over to Left Hand Canyon - Reach down to grab water...realize I left without bottles (we are 45 min from Boulder) - Chuckie gives me one of his bottles, I feel lame - Get out of the saddle to climb and feel that the front tire is squishy - Realize front tire is flat - Try to call friends, no cell coverage - Leave group, tell them, "I need to fix this, I will be back" - Descend on flat front tire, ride 45 min to North Boulder bike shop - Don't have form of payment on me, so Troy texts me the CC number and expiration - Purchase new tire to match the back and 2 more tubes...just in case - Put new tire and tube on, pump up, hear Pshhhhhh sound - Shop guy comes over, we realize together that there is no RIM TAPE on this wheel. It's always had the tubeless tires on it, I never realized...whoever I bought it from decided rim tape didn't need to happen. - Shop guy put on rim tape - Change to second tube and attempt pumping up tire - everything holds and is good. - Use texted CC # to purchase two new waterbottles, two Luna Bars (my treat for going through he!!), another spare tube, and some hot pink tire helper getter outey thingees (you know what I mean) - Ride back to Left Hand Canyon - Start riding up and wonder if I missed Chuckie and PIC and they are on the flats - Climb climb climb, find Chuckie and PIC - Get in tempo work - Ride back wondering what the #$!*$#^@ is wrong with my tire luck. - Get the "focus" email from Chuckie
Yes, the whole day today I was like "I'm a rolling blog post". I was making so so so many rookie mistakes. From not taking care of my tire business, to loaning out something I needed, to forgetting my bottles, to not knowing I didn't have rim tape on my rim, and finally letting myself get flustered.
This is not a "tragic" day, it's one that I created with the decisions I made. I have to have more focus for the next few weeks and I need to make the right decisions because the wrong ones tend to start chain reactions and like I said, will only be punishable by the island gods.
And with that, I am off to bed.

Member and Professor at the Sloan-Kettering Institute and Director of Graduate Program in Pharmacology
Member of the Neuroscience Program, the Weil Medical College of Cornell University
Currently, Dr. Yueming Li is a Member and Professor at the Sloan-Kettering Institute and Director of Graduate Program in Pharmacology, and a member of the Neuroscience Program, the Weil Medical College of Cornell University. He received his Ph.D. degree in Comparative Biochemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Then Yueming went to Harvard Medical School to conduct postdoctoral research. In 1997, he joined Merck Research Laboratories where he worked on elucidating the reaction mechanism of β- and γ-secretase, as well as developing protease inhibitors for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Since Yueming joined the Sloan-Kettering in 2002, he has progressed through the ranks from assistant to associate to full professor (member). The main interests of his laboratory are to elucidate the mechanism of γ-secretase-dependent Notch signaling and amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing under physiological and pathological conditions and to develop target-based therapies. He has been a pioneer biochemist in understanding the mechanisms of action and biological effects of g-secretase. His work in g-secretase assays, identification and reconstitution of g-secretase, the regulation of g-secretase and inhibitor development and the mechanism of action of g-secretase modulators has significantly advanced our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and cancer as well as therapeutic development. He is a recipient of Zenith Fellows Award from the Alzheimer's Association. He is a recipient of the MetLife Foundation 2013 Awards for Medical Research in Alzheimer's disease.

On April 9, one day before the Minnesota House followed the Senate and passed a raise in the state minimum wage, marchers rallied in Sartell to hold corporations like Walmart and McDonald's to higher standards of pay and conditions for the minimum wage workers at their stores.
The Community-wide March Against Low Wages in Central Minnesota was sponsored by the Greater Minnesota Worker Center and the Higher Ground Church of God in Christ.
"We work and work and work and work," declared Jama Alimad, board member of the Greater Minnesota Worker Center, "but we become poorer and poorer and poorer."
"It's so important that these companies, these corporations, that make billions of dollars off of us understand how this effects the life of their employees," said Alisha Williams, a low wage worker and student at St. Cloud Technical and Community College. Williams is a former employee of both Walmart and McDonald's.
Other speakers pointed out that low wages are not just a problem in the big metropolitan areas and that resulting poverty also plagues areas like central Minnesota.
A delegation including Williams visited a nearby Walmart and McDonald's to speak with store managers and deliver a letter outlining demands that the corporations raise wages immediately, be more flexible in scheduling including paid sick days, and other issues. They also invited each manager to attend a poverty simulation to take place at St. Cloud Technical and Community College later this year.

draft help!
i am in a 12 team league...draft 10th...and the following players i think will be there:
arenas, bosh, nash, AI, j. oneal (w/ c), paul, peirce, amare, tmac
which two players should i get to built my team around? knowing that the two teams behind me will go 1big and 1small.
* and how about jumping on d. howard in the 2nd round (15th)?
If arenas is there GET HIM. no questions. Unless someone Kobe/Dirk/Marion/Yao somehow falls to you. I would say chris paul, nash, allen iverson, wade, bosh and paul pierce are all safe bets, although if it were me I'd probably go with wade or bosh just because wade seems to be statistically the best amongst those people and bosh qualifies at C.
I would not go for Amare or O'neal at 15th. If you need a C, those two might drop to you in the 3rd round, and you could always pick up Duncan, Camby, Okur or Z in the 3-5th rounds. They are all good 1st Cs.
T-mac is a tough choice, his back seems ok, so 15th should be a safe bet for him, but it's a risk that personally I would not take.
I'd go Arenas in the 1st, Dwight Howard in the 2nd.
i thought about arenas and howard...but their % donot go with each other very well.
im sure TD and wade are gone by the 10th pick.
i was think more like...arenas and paul or bosh and howard
this have been keeping me up the last two nights...so i just need to get settle.
thanks for all the help
Don't take Duncan, man.
His team is so good that they coast through the regular season and he sits out games. And in some games that he actually plays in, he either doesn't play many minutes or just lets everyone else do their thing.
Howard will be among the league leaders in FG%. His FT% will suck ass, but Arenas' will be good and he doesn't shoot that bad from the floor.
A "coasting" Duncan will still get you 18/11 with 2 blocks. But hurt you in ft%. I'd go Arenas and Bosh if they were there at 10 and 15.
Duncan is a fine late 2nd round pick. Last year was his worst year statistically because of planar fascititis. This year he will definetly revert back to his previous form.
1. gil
2. bosh
You see where the bitterness comes in..........
I took Timmy first round at 15 in sizzle's league this year. I may very well be joining you on the bitter train if it happens again.
Although I haven't drafted him in any of my leagues this year, I feel optimistic that he should be the 3rd or 4th best center (depending on Amare's health) this year.
The pf\c ranking for him helps. If you look at what centers get 18\11 with 2 blocks, it helps take some of the sting away. And I did get Bosh at 18, who is also c eligible.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Whenever a reaction is larger than the person feels that it should be....the reaction is usually being magnified by the person's past experiences.
While it is normal to feel regret and sadness and guilt over actions that we find unacceptable, a reaction that goes on for a long time, like this one, is usually the result of emotional "unfinished business" from the past.
In your case you were abused, and the action that you took on your dog is most likely in your own mind, abusive. That action would result in what is called an emotional double bind. You were trying to help your dog, wanted to do a good thing, but your reaction was larger and bigger and more severe than you would have liked. This in turn caused you to feel guilt and shame, and because those feelings are unresolved from your past the feelings remain, strongly.
What to do: Working through this is not only possible but very good for you to do emotionally. A great place to start is the resource: Adult Children of Abusive Parents by Steven Farmer. It is inexpensive on amazon.com and is simply excellent. It will help you work through your own past and assist you in getting past these powerful feelings. The guilt about your dog will go away as you do so and you will feel better overall. Sometimes like iron sharpens iron we need a little boost to help get past these issues The resource I mentioned will do so, very well. Steven

Some stars do it for the attention, but both Charlize Theron and Anne Hathaway underwent extreme hair makeovers for acting roles.
After Theron went bald before starting work on Mad Max: Fury Road last summer, she went to great lengths to keep her pate covered up, but at an event at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland last night, the Oscar winner debuted a boyish blonde crop.
Going under the shears "reduced me to, like, mental-patient-level crying," Anne Hathaway told Kelly Ripa of shaving her head to play Fantine in Les Misérables. One Oscar nomination later, Hathaway stepped onto the red carpet at the Golden Globes sporting a grown-out elfin style with side-swept bangs.

Review by Emma, September 22, 2014


text:
A few weeks ago, I was sitting at a local restaurant having lunch with my mom. A father came in with his little girl. She was probably no more than 8 years old.
After some time passed, I noticed how quiet it was at their booth. I glanced up and saw the little girl looking around the restaurant, blankly. Her dad was looking down intently, as he swiped his finger across his phone screen.
Their dinner came, the little girl ate, and he continued to scan through his phone. Soon after finishing their meals, they left, with hardly a word spoken between them.
This past weekend, I went out to eat with family (yes, we like food) and we were seated next to a family of four. Once again, no conversation, but this time it was not the parents on their phones. Both kids, probably about 6 and 8, were listening to music and scanning through apps. The parents sat there, not talking to one another or their children.
Maybe the parents were enjoying a little silence. I understand that. I have two children, one of whom is a big talker and a bottomless pit. I hear, "Mom, can I have a snack? Mom, what about juice? Mom … Mom … Mom …" all day.
My other, who is 7 months old, screams at the top of her lungs if her bottle is not ready to go the minute she demands it. I understand wanting a little quiet time.
However, as a former elementary school teacher, I saw firsthand the effects on children whose parents had little involvement in their lives. Grades suffered, many of them acted out in the classroom, and many were insecure. They did not receive a solid, secure foundation at home, so they reached out to the wrong circle of peers, desperately seeking some sort of attention and certainty.
Amy Anderson, a principal and an administrator in the Rockwall Independent School District for 13 years, told me, "One of the top indicators for student success is parent expectation for academic achievement. When parents simply provide an attitude of care and concern for their child's performance in school, their achievement increases."
Children need to know their parents are present and care about what they are doing at home and at school. They need to feel valued, not placed on the back burner, to be tended to after everything else gets done.
I find myself guilty of doing this same thing. I will say, "Let me just check my email real quick." And then, before I know it, I have completely missed an opportunity. An opportunity to bring joy to my little one just by playing and talking with her. An opportunity to provide security within her. An opportunity to teach her how to respect others.
Think about it. Do you not feel a little disrespected when you are out with someone and, instead of talking to you, they are texting, posting pictures and playing games on their phone the entire time? You feel like they are not even there with you, and you feel a little less cared about.
Now, think about how your child feels. They feel discounted. They feel second. Even though in your heart they always come first, to your child, actions speak louder than words.
Mike Martin, who served as both a coach and teacher in Dallas ISD for 20 years, said, "Parent involvement was helpful in forming confidence within my players. A kid being able to look up in the stands and see their parent's support firsthand has a positive impact. A huge difference can be made just by showing up."
Showing up in your kid's lives means putting your phone on silent once in a while. It means not just acting interested, but being interested. Make your child a priority.

BJP releases manifesto for Gujarat polls
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi today released BJP's manifesto for the state Assembly elections, saying that it is a blueprint for development of all sections of the society.india Updated: Dec 03, 2012 17:51 IST
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi today released BJP's manifesto for the state Assembly elections, saying that it is a blueprint for development of all sections of the society.
The party's manifesto promises to address the problems of urban and rural housing, water, irrigation apart from resolving farmers' issues.
In it, Modi has promised to define a new category of "neo-middle class," those who have grown above the poverty line but still do not come in the category of middle class.
Modi said his government will form various schemes to benefit this class who need a helping hand.
"Due to development in Gujarat in the last ten years, there has been substantial rise in this neo-middle class. We want to address their issues," Modi said.
Seemingly to counter the Congress' poll promises of providing clothes and houses at an affordable rate to rural and urban poor respectively, the BJP manifesto promises to construct 50 lakh new houses in the next five years.
Congress' promised scheme of low-cost housing had gained huge response from the people and thousands had queued up in urban and rural areas to get the forms distributed by the party.
However, when asked if his manifesto promise of making 50 lakh houses was in reply to the opposition party's scheme, Modi said many parties like Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and JD (U) have also released their manifestoes.
"Before the last elections, we had promised 20 lakh houses and before this polls, we are promising 50 lakh houses," he said.

BENNINGTON, N.Y. – Police arrested a Bennington man Friday for lewd and lascivious conduct.
The Bennington County Special Investigations Unit was contacted June 16 in reference to an attempted sexual assault that occurred around 1 p.m. behind the Tire Warehouse in Bennington.
The victim said 25-year-old Justin Jarvis made sexual advances toward her, but she refused. He then pulled her by the hand into the wooded area behind the business and held her there for some time.
The victim said Jarvis proceeded to touch her in a sexual manner, exposed himself to her and forced her to touch his genitalia.
Police said the victim got away, met a relative in the parking lot and told the relative what had occurred. The relative contacted police.
Jarvis was arrested Friday at the Bennington Police Department. He is scheduled to appear in Bennington Criminal Court on June 30.

Next Up: Purging the Turkish Military's Mindset
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan appeared to emerge the victor from years of struggle for political power with the Turkish military on Thursday when a four-day meeting produced an all-new top brass that's more to his liking.
But having in effect purged the highest ranks of the armed forces, purging the mentality of the officer corps is likely to take longer.
For decades, Turkey's generals have seen themselves as guarantors of the secular ideals of modern Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, intervening with coups and threats to browbeat or oust civilian governments whenever it thought that a line was being overstepped.

You'll see a lot of blossoms in the background in this week's gallery, as they make for a very lovely backdrop.
So, what else is in the gallery this week? Fun with roses and wine, Black Rock Shooter's balancing act, a figma-sized keyboard made by hand, Billy Herrington hanging out with Iron Man, a terrifying anime head made to human size and much more.

Lott has a response to my post about his libel of John Donohue. He writes:
2) Unfortunately, the second planned debate was also cancelled. The debate was rescheduled for April 13th this year, and I made sure to reconfirm it because of the previous cancelation. The student at Chicago who set up the debate said that even though he had confirmed the debate with me multiple times and even though we had taken a date that I was told that Donohue wanted, the claim is that the debate somehow hadn't been completely confirmed with Donohue.
Compare that with what the student told Lott:
If there is anyone you should blame for jerking you around, it is me. I had been keeping in loose touch with Professor Donohue via Professor Harcourt and believed, incorrectly, that the 13th was a day that he had mentioned would be available to Donohue. This was wrong, and the misunderstanding was mine, I was not deliberately misled. I contacted Donohue after you had set up the 13th and then found out that in fact it wouldn't work … But I must emphasize that the failure here was the result of my own incompetence and cannot be attributed to evasion on the part of Donohue.
Lott also states:
The University of Chicago Federalist Society was again willing to have me give another talk that wasn't in a debate format, but they insisted that I remove the statements regarding the canceled debates from my website. (They simply viewed my posts about the April 13th event being critical of the Federalist Society (I disagree), and the earlier post that they wanted removed because they didn't want to be involved in a debate about a debate.) I told them that I would correct anything that they told me was wrong, but I wasn't going to remove the postings. If people set up debates and back out at the last moment, they should be held accountable.
Of course, in the student's email above, Lott had already been told that he had wrongly blamed Donohue for the cancellation of April 13 and he still has not corrected his post. And here is what Lott posted about the April 13 event:
It seems like we have been through this before. In December, John Donohue cancelled our debate that was scheduled at the University of Chicago for December 2 on November 30th. After what had happened in the Fall, I double checked to make sure everything was confirmed before I turned down another talk that I had the chance to give, and I was assured that the event was set and that I should get my plane ticket. This time our debate that was scheduled at the University of Chicago on April 13th and cancelled with just six days to go.
It isn't even slightly critical of the Federalist Society but Lott claims that they found it so critical that they demanded its removal.

In the tiny farming community of Simla, Colo., (pop. 663) the science of space has taken over.
When April Lanotte, a Space Foundation Teacher Liaison, accepted a job as Simla's only high school science teacher in 2006, she was intimidated to say the least.
"While I was fascinated with science, I had been teaching middle school English for the past decade," she explained. "It was only because of the courses I took through the Space Foundation that I had the confidence to pursue a science position."
In her first year at Simla, Lanotte used a short unit in rocketry to illustrate the concepts of inertia and momentum to her high school physics class. Her students were so excited that they decided to compete in the prestigious Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) that same year.
The rules of TARC required the students to build and fly a one-stage model rocket that would reach an altitude of 750 feet, stay aloft for 45 seconds, and return an unbroken egg to the earth. The students spent several months perfecting their rocket, which was created entirely from scratch in the school's wood and metal shops.
Although their team didn't make it past the regional qualifier, their rocket was successful in meeting each of the requirements of the contest - and the students begged Lanotte to sign up again the following year.
Encouraged by their enthusiasm, Lanotte introduced an upper-level science program in astronautics, comprising classes in astronomy, the basics of flight, rocketry, and the biology of living in space.
"It helps the students who want to get into these great science and engineering schools because it stands out on their transcripts," said Lanotte. "Instead of the typical biology and physics classes you might see, our students have credit for building a simulator for sustaining life on Mars."
She also instituted a science mentorship program, which allows her students to spend one hour each week teaching space science to first and fifth grade classes.
"They make models of the solar system and build rockets out of soda bottles. Everyone has a lot of fun, and the younger students are excited to study science when they get older."
Last May, her students invited the Colorado Springs Astronomy Club to join the community for a night of telescope viewing, which more than 300 people attended.
What is most rewarding for April Lanotte is the sense that her Space Foundation classes have had an effect on her student's future careers. "When I started, these kids were so unfamiliar with space," she says. "Today, four out of four of the graduates I have worked with are enrolled in college engineering programs."

Bella Interview: Nadine Haobsh, Author of Beauty Confidential
If you've been reading blogs for a few years, you've probably heard of Nadine Haobsh. A former beauty staffer at Lucky and Ladies' Home Journal, she anonymously wrote the blog Jolie in NYC. A few posts about the perks that beauty editors enjoy (Marc Jacobs wallets, plane tickets, spa vacations, and so on) didn't go over so well in the industry, and when her identity became known, Seventeen rescinded a job offer.
But that's all in the past. This week, Haobsh releases her first book, Beauty Confidential. It's a breezy, easy-to-read guide to makeup, hair and skin care—complete with honest opinions about which products are worth the cash, and which are a waste of time and money. Nadine and I chatted over the weekend; here's the first part of our interview.
How do you think readers perceive beauty bloggers as opposed to beauty editors for magazines? Is there any difference?
Absolutely. I think that readers think (and rightly so) that you can trust beauty bloggers a bit more. There's less of an agenda, it's direct blogger-to-reader contact, and you're going to hear a tell-it-like-it-is review of products and trends. There's always going to be a certain amount of spin, no matter whether you're reading on a blog or in a magazine, but in general I find blogs to be so much more honest in their coverage
For Nadine's thoughts on whether magazine editors worry about the growth of blogs,
Do you think magazine editors worry about that?
They should. Getting into bed with advertisers is always tricky; many bloggers advertise on their site, but it has nothing to do with what brands they write about. That's definitely not the case with magazines.
What are you most proud of regarding the book?
I'm proud that I've created something so damn cute and helpful, to be honest! It's fun, it's easy-to-read, it's full of tips and product suggestions, and it's not like any other beauty book out there, because it's so personal and gossipy. All of my friends who have read it say it feels like I'm sitting in their living room, giving them beauty dirt for two hours! And that makes me really happy.
And what was the biggest challenge in writing it?
The biggest challenge was simply creating the concept: How do I put all these tips and tricks to paper without rehashing what's already been said a million times?
So how did you address that?
That's when I realized that my strength is that I'm *not* a makeup artist and I'm *not* a hairstylist. I'm a normal, young girl who simply happens to know more about beauty than the average bear because of my editorial background. I'm my own guinea pig, so I've had more mishaps than most! As a result, though, I know which products work, which ones don't, what to spend your money on, and all of the "behind the scenes" secrets that editors at magazines can't relay!
For more of my interview with Nadine, including some great dish on which products she thinks are overrated, come back tomorrow!

DICE has detailed the list of balancing tweaks coming to Battlefield 4 in a future update, revealing plans to nerf the mobile anti-aircraft's missiles and increase the damage of the attack helicopter.
"As millions of players dive into the game, new gameplay styles emerge, and with them the need to keep fine-tuning the core gameplay elements," the developer wrote on the Battlefield Blog. "In this post, we'll talk about the upcoming Battlefield 4 tweaks that we have planned, based on your feedback. These changes are all slotted to go live in a future game update."
The MAA's missiles appear to be taking the greatest hit, with the total carry count reduced from 6 to 4. The physical impact of those missiles is also being reduced to "prevent helicopters from flipping uncontrollably when hit", although the damage values will remain indentical.
The attack helicopter's Zuni Rockets and gunner cannon are both being given a damage boost, too, with tweaks making them even more effective at destroying vehicles.
It's not all good news for chopper pilots, though: the splash damage caused by the Scout Helicopter's 25mm cannons is being reduced to make them less effective against infantry.
Elsewhere, the MBT LAW missile is also having its 'intelligence' reduced and reload speed decreased, with the player being required to aim closer to their target before firing the missile.
The maximum damage range of the anti-tank M2 SLAM is being cut in half, too, reduced from 6m to 3m.
It isn't yet clear when the update featuring the changes will come into effect.
For more details on the upcoming changes, head through to the Battlefield Blog.

'Sweeney Todd' kills at Barrington
Published 1:00 am, Friday, June 25, 2010
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- Theaters all across the country are celebrating Stephen Sondheim's 80th birthday this year by programming works from his considerable canon. He couldn't hope for a better tribute than Julianne Boyd's season-opening Mainstage production of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" at Barrington Stage Company.
Boyd has long had a way with a big musical and her "Sweeney" stomps, roars and shines.
BSC vet Jeff McCarthy plays the title role and he gets it right from every angle.
"No Place Like London" sounds taut, angry and menacing. "The Barber and His Wife" sounds heartbroken. And "Epiphany" is just insidious.
He's also got the acting down. He's a natural Sweeney, and he's especially effective in classic scenes with fellow barber Pirelli (Branch Woodman), the unctuous Beadle Bamford (Timothy Shew) and his nemesis, Judge Turpin (Ed Dixon).
But you can't have Sweeney Todd without Nellie Lovett.
Harriet Harris has the acting end down just as tightly as McCarthy, but she doesn't enunciate Mrs. Lovett's songs as clearly. That takes a bit of the edge off "The Worst Pies In London," but by the time the comic duet of "A Little Priest" rolls around at the end of the first act, Harris and McCarthy are a heckuva team.
Boyd has built an excellent production around her leads.
Wilson Chin's set is fantastic, a compendium of scaffolding, industrial lights and a rolling meat-pie shop that seems as if "Street Scene," "The Wizard of Oz" and "Chicago" were involved in a car crash.
The supporting cast is strong throughout -- vocally and otherwise.
Zachary Clause, as Tobias Ragg, is something like a revelation. After seeming to drift through his waif-like role, he reveals an incredible voice (and control of such) with "Not While I'm Around."
And he carries the famous ending (we won't give it away here) home perfectly.
Shonn Wiley (who choreographs the show) is solid as the sailor boy, Anthony Hope. If he just misses a bit of "Johanna's" melody, it's OK -- it's got a few of those trademark Sondheim hairpin turns.
Sarah Stevens is perhaps too operatic as the actual Johanna, but the role is small enough not to steer the show wrong. She sings fine, it's just the approach seems a bit precious.
Only Christianne Tisdale is a disappointment. She's too timid in the role of The Beggar Woman, too one-dimensional.
Darren Cohen's pit band offers magnificent support throughout. It's a huge-sounding group, and Chin's stage essentially puts them in a moat, which feels just right.
"Sweeney Todd" is a gruesome show, and Boyd lets enough gore in the door to keep things tense. She finds the right line between comedy and tragedy in the killings, and she never loses sight of the tale itself.
We'll see more Sondheim in the Berkshires and beyond in the coming weeks, but Boyd has already raised the bar.
Don't miss it.

text: Ana Emarati has scored twice on Fibresand and on Dirt at Sharjah last week and this surface may prove too quick. Frankie Dettori has ridden Legislation just once, when his mount scored at Great Leighs in 2008. This will be his first run since that year but it's unlikely he would have been kept in training unless connections believed in him. Rutland Boy, a winner on Polytrack for Ed Dunlop, has done very well here and looked in very good form when scoring in January. He's been raised 6lb but is still on the upgrade and can give a good account though Maath Gool, who finished third in that latter race, was having his first start for a very long time and has a reasonable chance of reversing the form. Furnace didn't last out 1m2f after scoring over the C&D and should go well but PHOENIX CITY could turn up at a fair price. Doug Watson's filly landed a Newmarket maiden in August and will be all the better for her run here last month where she only weakened inside the final furlong.

Gettysburg, PA site of FOCA's 88th national convention July 25-28
The Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America [FOCA] will hold its 88th annual national convention at the Gettysburg Wyndham here July 25-28, 2014.
Surrounded by historic Civil War-era landmarks and stunning natural landscape, Gettysburg is a South Central Pennsylvania destination unlike any other. Situated just outside downtown Gettysburg on the 100-acre Gateway Gettysburg campus, it boasts modern amenities and world-class dining just minutes from Gettysburg's most popular attractions.
This year's convention will be hosted by the FOCA's Pittsburgh District. Anyone can attend and participate in the many activities planned for this year's gathering.
The convention committee is currently working diligently to put together a wonderful program for FOCA members and guests. In addition to plenary sessions, discussions, and liturgical services, attendees will enjoy a variety of activities. Ample time will be available to explore the area's historic buildings, landmarks and battlefields. Various tours are being planned for participants to get the most out of a trip to historic Gettysburg.
Additional information may be found on the FOCA web site, while room reservations are now being accepted at www.wyndham.com/groupevents2013/MDTGE_ORTHODOXCHRISTIANS/main.wnt.
Established in 1927 as the Federated Russian Orthodox Clubs to unite Orthodox Christians in faith, fellowship and service, the FOCA petitioned the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church in America to be officially recognized by the OCA. At its 1998 national convention, the organization adopted its present name. It maintains chapters in dozens of parishes across the country.

You may have followed it on Twitter. Perhaps you have already seen the news on Tee-Junction or on Hide Your Arms – but you will read it here too: laFraise has launched its new redesigned site with a big bang. Our strawberry-loving colleagues at laFraise have worked hard giving the site a make-over and thought it none better than to mark the event with one of the biggest prizes in t-shirt competition history.
This special contest is the second edition of the 15K contest, but with a big new twist. Instead of awarding 3 designers with €5,000 as they did last year, there will only be one winner to lay claim to the big bag of cash filled with €15,000. Whip out your calendar and multiply that by the current exchange rate of 1.397 and you've got a whopping $20,955. That's a lot of dough. In addition to the cash, this lucky talented designer will have their design printed on 2,000 shirts and go down in t-shirt history.
If you want to join in on this designing fun, you can start uploading your designs on 14th July. Check out the details on the laFraise blog.

The recruiting process has become so accelerated over the past five years that if a coaching staff isn't currently evaluating the next class as it recruits the current class, it will be left behind in today's college football world. For that reason, we introduced our first-ever underclassmen ESPN Junior 300 for the 2015 class last July. The rankings were based primarily off sophomore film evaluation and that ranking was updated throughout this past year's recruiting cycle while evaluating close to 1,000 underclassmen prospects.
As part of the underclassmen evaluation process, we produced more generalized prospect reports with strengths, areas of improvement and a bottom line. The reason was to lay a more general foundation as these prospects will be re-evaluated, broadened out and morphed into our upperclassmen format after the prospects' junior season, when we have more extensive video and resources to evaluate. There is more improvement and change in a prospect's ability level and production between his sophomore and junior seasons than between his junior and senior seasons. The early film evaluations are on 15-year-old prospects, which means there is a ton of physical, mental and competitive development to come.
RecruitingNation's scouts will now spend the next several months evaluating the 2015 class as upperclassmen based off extensive junior game and premium cut-ups video accessed through HUDL. These upperclassmen evaluations are a more strategic player evaluation based on a set of critical factors and traits specific to a certain position in a "template" format. This method also will allow us to mirror our college-to-NFL player evaluations done by Todd McShay and his staff so that when it comes time for a player to be draft-eligible, you will be able to access how we evaluated a particular player coming out of high school and how he is being evaluated coming out of college with similar or identical critical factors by position.
The phrases "critical factors" or "position-specific traits" are what we use as a template for what we are looking for in a player at a particular position. Each position has a set of critical factors that we will address in a template format that is divided into its own individual sections. We feel this will provide more clarity and also align better with our NFL draft reports.
Generally there can be as many as 8-10 critical factors per position, but we have tapered this down to the five we feel are most important. We as evaluators have the freedom to include more detail about other traits that we feel best serve the evaluation of that player and will add that to one of the five areas we feel it best fits.
Look for the first release of our upperclassmen 2015 ESPN 300 this spring and pay special attention to these five prospects that could see a change in stock:
Kyler Murray (Allen, Texas/Allen): Forget the measurables, just forget them. Study the production and you won't care that Murray is 5-foot-11. When it is all said and done he could make the biggest jump of all prospects between now and next national signing day. He's a dynamic playmaker that comes from one of the premier programs in the country and he's used to having a high level of expectation placed upon him. He's answered the bell at every turn and we expect that he could be the most coveted dual-threat QB in this class.
Adonis Thomas (Lawrenceville, Ga./Central Gwinnett): In the mold of this year's Christian Miller as an OLB/DE, Thomas has one of the highest ceilings for development of any front-seven player in the class. He continues to gain steam due to his range, speed and athleticism. Coaches want length, you hear them use that term all the time. They can put on the weight when they get the kids to campus. Thomas is long and he can run, a coveted combination for a disruptive guy off the edge.
Daylon Charlot (Patterson, La./Patterson): He reminds us of a faster version of Jarvis Landry. Charlot catches everything thrown his way. What we love about this young man is his ability to play both on the inside and outside. He can do all the jet-sweep, bubble-screen stuff and make plays in space, or he can run right by you vertically with top-end speed. We love his playmaking ability with the ball in his hands and feel he is going to continue to emerge as a prospect.
Jacques Patrick (Orlando, Fla./Timber Creek): He is already one of the most debated prospects among our staff for the 2015 class. He can be difficult to project as a pure RB at times because of his measurables and he could easily be a linebacker candidate at the next level. He is a very unique and gifted athlete, who at times in recent evaluations has intrigued us a bit more as a RB candidate, flashing better top-end speed which, coupled with his size, could make him a dangerous runner. He is a 2015 prospect who could easily see a change in stock upon further evaluation and will be debated frequently among our staff.
Jonathan Ledbetter (Tucker, Ga./Tucker): Sitting outside the ESPN Junior 300, Ledbetter is prospect who looks poised to be a 300 member in the future. He possesses good size, very good playing strength and can be a physical and disruptive presence in the trenches. In recent opportunities to further evaluate him, both on film as well as at the Under Armour All-America Combine, Ledbetter has impressed and certainly looks like a strong candidate for the ESPN 300.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
Problem between NT & OpenVMS rights information exchange. New user entered into NT Domain cannot access to PathWork 6.0C "shares" on OpenVMS Alpha v.7.1,v.7.2 Advanced Server running as BDC, Windows NT 4.0 as PDC. I did all what i can understend to sync account. DOOM\\ALPHA> logon vadim 123456 The server \\TF successfully logged you on as VADIM. Your privilege level on domain DOOM is USER. The last time you logged on was 03/30/01 10:34 AM. DOOM\\ALPHA> show user vadim/fu %PWRK-E-ERRGETDC, cannot get domain controller for "DOOM" from "ALPHA" -LM-E-ERROR_LOGON_FAI, logon failure Where is problem source? How i can be sure what account sync work properly & successefull.
The Answer is :
The information you provide indicates the server \\TF validated the logon, but it is not clear if \\TF is the PDC or another BDC. If \\TF is the PDC, then your OpenVMS server \\ALPHA has likely not joined the domain correctly, or, the secret password for the machine account for \\ALPHA has become out of synch. The solution is to remove \\ALPHA from the DOOM domain by using PWRK$CONFIG to temporarily join a temporary domain, and then, re-join the DOOM domain. If \\TF is another BDC in the domain, then, you should first verify that you have TCP/IP connectivity to the PDC (use Ping address), and then that you have NETBIOS connectivity (use Ping netbios-name). Assuming you can communicate between the OpenVMS machine and the PDC for DOOM, then there is another problem which may in fact be solved by the solution mentioned above. Problems of this nature are very, very difficult for the Wizard to assit with. There are far too many variables and dependencies. The Wizard recommends you contact your local customer support center for assitance with problems of this nature.

A 3-Year Old Girl with a Rash on Left Arm, Flank, and Thigh
What's Your Diagnosis | June 27, 2011 | Pediatric Skin Diseases, Lice Treatments
A 3-year old girl presents with a 4-week history of rash on her left arm, flank, and thigh. The rash is non-pruritic and non-painful. The patient is taking no medications and is up-to-date on all immunizations. Her medical and family history are noncontributory. One week before the onset of the rash, the patient's parents had taken her to her pediatrician because she had a runny nose and sore throat. A URI was diagnosed.
Discrete 1- to 2-mm erythematous papules unilaterally were distributed across the left axillae, arm, flank, and thigh.

This Week's Day-by-Day Picks
Thursday, March 3
Born and raised in poverty on the island of Antigua, Jamaica Kincaid never dreamed she'd become part of New York's literary elite. But the girl shipped off to the United States at age 17 to be an au pair (or, as Kincaid puts it, a "servant") would be discovered by New Yorker columnist George Trow, become a staff columnist and writer there, and eventually marry the son of the magazine's editor, Wallace Shawn. She silenced detractors who suggested that nepotism was the only reason for her career success by penning critically acclaimed tomes centering on life in the West Indies like Annie John, Lucy and The Autobiography of My Mother. The celebrated author visits Houston today for a reading and lecture. Expect an intriguing discussion of America, race relations, New York media and more. Just don't expect her to get too touchy-feely -- this is a woman who once said, "I feel it's my duty to make everyone a little less happy." 8 p.m. Grand Hall, Rice Memorial Center, 6100 South Main. For information, call 713-348-5585 or visit www.rice.edu. Free.
Friday, March 4
For those complaining that this year's Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo musical lineup lacks, well, flavor, the folks at the Rodeo have lassoed Alicia Keys to headline Black Heritage Day, which, says the rodeo event guide, "spotlights the contributions of black pioneers to the cultural achievement and heritage of the city of Houston and the state of Texas." Judging from the way Keys tore it up at the Grammy Awards, this promises to be a can't-miss gig. 7 p.m. Reliant Park, One Reliant Park. For tickets and information, call 713-629-3700 or visit www.rodeohouston.com. Tickets start at $16.

It's bruising enough to your ego to attend a hip art show, only to find that the artist is a ripe old 22. But what about when said artist is six? That's just cruel. Such is the case with little Stephen Sumrall-Orsak, who's unveiling his works today in his show, "Six." (Thanks for rubbing the age thing in, kiddo.) While his contemporaries are peeing on themselves and each other at the playground, this young one spends his time at his own little art space at the Houston Foundry, sketching portraits in charcoal. And here's the thing: They're good. At this rate, we can probably expect a Warholian effort from him by what, 15? Meet the wunderkind from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Houston Foundry, 1712 Burnett.

Now that hanging out with a six-year-old has reminded you of how little you've accomplished, it's time to drown your feelings of inadequacy with some serious partying. Tonight, the denizens of Houston's progressive stage scene will be shakin' it at the Infernal Bridegroom Productions Annual Gala. This year's theme is "The Wedding" and features food, drink, games, a silent auction, a mass wedding ceremony and a contest to crown the world's ugliest bridesmaid's dress. (Judging by some of the weddings we've have attended lately, that should be one to watch.) Make marry at 8 p.m. Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex, 2201 Preston. For information, call 713-522-8443 or visit www.infernalbridegroom.com. $50 and up.

We long for the good ol' days, when you could score food and lodging as a traveling jester rather than getting a real job. The three goofs in the Country Playhouse's Help Me! I'm Bent! enjoy such an existence, but they fall on hard times after their lame jokes get them thrown out of a cushy palace gig. The bumbling yuksters roam the woods, eventually stumbling upon a poor, sweet elderly couple who they promptly rob. But karma is a bitch, as these three morons soon find out. In an effort to accommodate your venture outside the loop, the folks at the Playhouse have made this a free show, so watch the fools at 7 p.m. 12802 Queensbury. For information, call 713-467-4497 or visit www.countryplayhouse.org. Free.

You're not 24 hours out of the weekend and already, today has kicked you in the ass. You need to blow off some steam. Oh sure, you could crash the gym like "those" people, but we think there's nothing like hitting a smoky pool hall for some nine ball. On Mondays, your pool games are on the house at Slick Willie's Family Pool Hall. Grab a date, friend or a smack-talking co-worker and saunter into a participating location, say the Montrose spot (our favorite). Then, score a table, down buckets of domestic beer for $16 ($20 for you import snobs) and take in the crowd. 1200 Westheimer, 713-522-2525. For other participating locations, visit www.slickw.com.

We're not quite sure why humans have colonized the moon in the year 2081, as is the premise of Earth's Wild Ride, the latest IMAX flick playing at the Burke Baker Planetarium. Has yet another Bush destroyed the environment? Did Donald Trump break down and buy all the available real estate? Hard to say, but one thing's for sure, the earth ain't what it was. So explains a moon-dwelling grandfather to his wide-eyed grandkids, who soak up his memories of living on earth. Through grandpa's stories, you'll be treated to whitewater canyon rafting, an intimate view of molten lava on a volcano and a visit with wooly mammoths and dinosaurs. (What, no Apprentice reruns?) Runs hourly from noon to 5 p.m. daily. Houston Museum of Natural Science, One Hermann Circle Drive. For tickets and information, call 713-639-4629 or visit www.hmns.org. $3 to $5.
Wednesday, March 9
We have to admit that when we heard about a "glass show" in Galveston, our thoughts immediately turned to dodging all those broken bottles on the beach. Fortunately, "Texas Juried Glass" features works other than the shattered Budweiser vessel variety. As part of Galveston's regular ArtWalk, the show spotlights 29 artists from around the state. Works include traditional blown and stained glass, charcoal drawings on blown glass, stacked glass jars with funky contents, and even glass blocks with video monitors, neon, aluminum and Plexiglas. Kick some glass from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Exhibit runs through April 17 at the Galveston Arts Center, 2721 Strand, Galveston. For information, call 409-763-2403 or visit www.galvestonartscenter.org.

Babor Cleansing Hy-Oil Reviews
I use Babor Hy-oil with Babor Phytoactive base for a super clean result that's moisturizing!!I received a delux sample of these two products and fell in love with this pair! I combine 4 pumps of Hy-oil and 2 pumps of phytoactive base in the palm of my hand and mix together with my fingers. Then, on a dry face, I use a my fingers in a circular motion to gently rub the mixture all over my face. It feels and smells great and also removes make-up and is very gentle. Then, I rinse with war...read morem water and pat dry! I love the way it makes my skin feel, really clean and soft without feeling tight!! It is definitely worth the price. the two are a bit high but they last a long time. It is gentle enough to use every day. I also use an exfoliating scrub at least 2-3 days a week as well. Follow immediately with serum and moisturizer. My skin feels awesome when I use these products together! I highly recommend! — 8 years, 5 months agolucindap22 | 3 reviews

Apple's iOS problem: Contacts uploading is just the tip of the iceberg. Apps can upload all your photos, calendars or record conversations
Apple responded today to the contacts-sharing issue with a statement indicating it plans to put some form of a setting on contact data that would allow users to control who views the data, similar to the way Apple locks down location data.
"Apps that collect or transmit a user's contact data without their prior permission are in violation of our guidelines. We're working to make this even better for our customers, and as we have done with location services, any app wishing to access contact data will require explicit user approval in a future software release."
Congress became involved and probably motivated the move, but the legislative body is not going to like what it hears.
The problem is that iOS apps not only have access to a user's contacts database (including addresses and notes), but apps also have full and unencumbered access to everything in the iOS app sandbox, such as pictures, music, movies, calendars, and a host of other data. Any of this content is literally open for developers to freely transmit to their own servers while apps are open.
(note that pictures with geotags will pop up a Location dialog which can be averted in code with some well known tricks)
Moreover, approved apps also have access to the iPhone's camera and microphone, so apps can also take pictures and make recordings without permission (although, this would be easy to detect by the user with the light from the front camera or red bar during audio). Photos, videos, and audio are transmittable securely or insecurely up to servers that you and Apple do not know about.
To developers, this is no big secret. It is not trivial, but putting that kind of functionality into an app is straightforward and only uses Apple's publicly available and blessed developer APIs (which means this stuff will not likely be detected by Apple's App Store approval process).
Obviously, shady developers and even government entities are probably already using such apps to gather information. Therefore, these are some scenarios:

Jeep Grand Cherokee will add diesel power in U.S.
A diesel will be offered in the Jeep Grand Cherokee in the U.S. once again, according to a statement made by Chrysler Group chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne while announcing that 1,100 jobs woud be added at Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan.
The diesel-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee, slated for 2013, will likely have the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 available in the Jeep SUV in Europe. That engine would fit with the current Jeep Grand Cherokee's current line-up in the U.S. consisting of three gasoline engines: a 3.6-liter V-6, 5.7-liter V-8, and a 6.4-liter V-8. Rated at 237 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, the engine is stout enough for most tasks Grand Cherokee owners might throw at it, yet still be significantly more fuel efficient than the Grand Cherokee's gasoline engines. Using the European Union testing procedures, the diesel Jeep is rated at the equivalent of 28 combined mpg.
The last time a diesel was offered in the Jeep Grand Cherokee was when Chrysler was owned by Daimler Benz and the engine used was the same 3.0-liter V-6 used in the Mercedes-Benz E320. However, the urea-based Bluetec exhaust control system would have been needed to get emissions under the legal limits in all 50 states. Outside estimates placed the added cost for the Bluetec system at $4,000, which Jeep thought would be too rich for most would-be diesel Grand Cherokee buyers. Despite a modest degree of sales success for the for the diesel-powered SUV—eight percent of all Grand Cherokee sales is claimed, but we never saw one other than our 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel road test vehicle—Jeep elected to drop the diesel engine after the 2010 model year, with no plans for revival.
But now, those extra 1,100 jobs? It's a third shift to build the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. It's where the diesel engines will be going.

Well now we're getting down to it people. With any luck in a few weeks, only the top dancers will remain on Dancing With the Stars and the competition will really get started. Sorry John and Billy Ray, but that means you have to go. I'm not fussy about who gets the boot first, just as long as one of them goes tonight. With the way the scoreboard looked at the end of last night's dance marathon, I don't think I'll be disappointed.
Last night's episode, much to the horror of my friend, MsFroggy, was even longer. Each couple performed both a ballroom and a Latin number, which Tom claims meant twice the excitement. Even though the judges continued on with their demanding ways, two couples – Laila and Maks and Joey and Kym - got perfect scores of 30. Unfortunately for Apolo fans, he and Julianne hit a bit of a snag. Fortunately for Ian, he finally managed to break through and show a little personality. John seemed to answer questions about whether he could deliver two dances in one week when he managed to impress the judges with his rumba and his foxtrot. Billy Ray actually exceeded expectations with his samba and his unconventional waltz. Really, if Billy Ray manages to not clothesline Karina with those Frankenstein arms of his, he exceeds my expectations.
We saw two perfect routines last night. Who gets tonight's encore? It was such a tough call that Len decided to flip a coin. The winners were Maks and Laila, who perform their samba again. Like MsFroggy, I am mesmerized my Maks', er…. shirt.
Here's Meatloaf. I'm Becoming a Vegan
Much to my horror, tonight's musical guest is Meatloaf. No, the theme of tonight's show is not comfort food. It's more like "aging rock stars who don't want to have to work a construction job to pay the bills." I wonder who canceled at the last minute. This couldn't have been their first choice. What a let down from Joss Stone last week. Meatloaf must be trying to pimp a new greatest hits album. He performs "Bat Out of Hell" while three couples – Brian and Kym, Cheryl and Louis and Alek and Elena – perform five different dance styles. Even with the bizarre music choice – although Hell, they're all used to it, being on this show – the dancers all look fantastic.
I can't help thinking that these dances aren't such a good thing. They remind us how very far our celebs are from being actual ballroom dancers. It's like how I fool myself eating light ice cream and trying to tell myself it's just like the real thing. Then I accidentally buy real ice cream and realize how crappy the light stuff really is. Random observations: Cheryl is very bendy, Brian still looks like Chucky and Alek needs to cut down on the hair product – his 'do is looking bullet proof. Meatloaf = not aging well.
Shiny-Shirted Sports Commentating, Part I
Backstage, Samantha has a little confab with Ian and Joey. Ian scored all nines last night. What will it take for him to break through and start scoring 10's? Ian vows to stop drinking beers during the commercial breaks and really get serious. Joey got five 10's last night. Has he been holding back up until now? Nope, he's just trying to raise the bar and take the competition seriously. Cue the mock snarkiness between Ian and Joey and the obligatory NSync joke. Moving on.
Just in case you haven't blotted Kenny Mayne's stint on this show last season from your memory, he's back to remind you all about it. As if there isn't enough filler on these results shows. Here comes a little thing called Dance Center. Joining him are season 2 runner-up Jerry Rice and perennial sourpuss, Len Goodman. Kenny and Jerry are decked out in their shiny shirts, complete with rhinestones. Fancy. What follows is a Sport Center-style analysis of our celebs.
First up is a video break-down of Ian's hip action and his little footwork errors, which they circle on the screen as if analyzing a play. Laila, who Kenny calls the female Emmitt Smith (much to Jerry's chagrin) is deemed a fierce competitor. Len still feels that Laila needs to be challenged by her choreography. Kenny moves on to Joey, saying that he's lost at least 75 pounds during the competition. Jerry says that interaction with the audience is key, while Len praises Joey as technically sound and a great performer. His big problem? The butt. Cue the freeze-frame shot of Joey's derriere being slowly circled on the monitor. See, it's big, so it takes a long time to draw a circle around it. Har. That does it for part 1 of Dance Center. Part 2 is coming later in the show. I can hardly wait.
Seventies Flashback
It's time for two couples to learn their fates. Safe this week are Laila and Maks (yay!). The first couple to be bathed in the dreaded red light this week are John and Edyta.
With that little piece of business out of the way, it's time for us to watch a bunch of baby ballroom dancers who will, no doubt, annoy the snot out of me. It'll be just like those 7-year olds at the ice skating rink who make me feel like a giraffe on figure skates. Usually, I suppress the urge to trip them. Usually. I'm sure tonight will be no different.
Our dancers range from 9 to what seem to be teenagers. We start out with the youngest couple and work our way up. They all dance to "Boogie Shoes." Yes, the one by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Now why couldn't they have gotten him on the show instead of Meatloaf? I'm sure K.C.'s schedule is wide open. As far as our junior ballroom dancers go, they're pretty good, although I'm sure those boys gets the crap beaten out of them like 5 days a week.
Samantha is backstage with the couples who are still waiting to hear their fates. None of them have ever been in the bottom two. Billy Ray, who is clearly a realist, knows he's destined for the bottom two; he even told John he'd see him a little bit.
The Part Where I Actually Cry. Over Me.
Next up is part 2 of Dance Center and the guys are starting with the two "challenged" celebs in the competition. First is John, aka "J-Rat," who Kenny says is lovable in spite of the fact that he has no skills and is 70 or 80-years old. John does have some physical challenges, but Len reminds us that success comes in cans not in can'ts. Like John, Billy Ray has no talent, but he makes up for it with effort. Apolo may be the fave but, because he's technically superb, he won't be getting any charity votes thrown his way. What about the facial hair? Len says that no one ever won a ballroom competition with facial hair. That little bit of info probably sent the odds-makers scrambling.
As if once wasn't enough, here's Meatloaf again. He's going to perform the first single off his new album. The song is called "Cry Over Me." I am. The nine-time champion ballroom dancers of something or other (and whose names I'm too lazy to rewind the video to hear) will be performing. You know, I really want to recap this for you, but I just can't bear it. The dancers are lovely, but the song is just more of the clichéd rock ballad stuff we expect from Meatloaf. Whoever is booking the musical guests made a serious error this week. Even Meatloaf doesn't look all that happy
The Nipples I Never Wanted to See
Next week, couples again will be performing a ballroom dance and a Latin dance. Here to school us in the Cha Cha are Jimmy and Guillermo. Guillermo has really turned the heat up this week in a hot pink and chartreuse two piece number. Jimmy claims he has been so excited about the Cha Cha that he had a dream about it. He was surrounded by beautiful women, all cooing "Cha, cha, cha." – we see Kym, Cheryl and Elena all floating around his head. Oddly enough, Guillermo also have a sexy dream like that, only it was in Spanish and he was surrounded by beautiful men. Cut to John, Ian and Jerry Springer all saying "Cha, cha, cha" as they circle Guillermo's sleeping head. What do these dreams mean? Too much tequila. The segment takes a horrible wrong turn as we see Jimmy and Guillermo in bed together with a shirtless Tom. Seriously. That was not necessary.
Before the lame-o audience response segment, we learn that Apolo and Julianne are safe. In the audience tonight with their opinions are Jennie Garth (who looks fabulous) and Tori Spelling (who….no comment), both rooting for Ian and Cheech Marin, who seems to be rooting for John. Moving on.
Every Time You Hop Away
It's finally time for the results. Safe this week are Ian and Cheryl and Joey and Kym. That leaves Billy Ray and Elena in the bottom two with John. Billy Ray is clearly unsurprised as he calls out "Understandably so!" He can't dance for crap, but he's a good egg.
Looks like that egg will be around another week: John and Edyta are out this week. Billy Ray might be more charming, but I can hardly bear to watch him any more. Billy Ray looks both crushed at the thought of another week of this torture and guilty, because he knows it should have been him packing his bags.
John and Edyta get a standing ovation. John says he was so excited to have been a part of the show. He thanks everyone involved and praises Edyta. Edyta says she really learned a lot from John and his work ethic and sense of humor. Elena could take a lesson. John and Edyta dance their way out to – no lie – the Bunny Hop. To the tune of "Every Time You Go Away," the entire cast Bunny Hops their way across the stage.

CRKT first noted Georgia custom knifemaker and Knifemakers Guild member Boyd Ashworth when his custom Thomas C. Turtle models won back-to-back Best Miniature Folder awards at consecutive Blade Shows. These innovative little jewels were marked by the use of Boyds own Damascus steels and exotic materials such as mother-of-pearl, wooly mammoth, fossil walrus, and gold. Consequently, you could spend close to four figures to own one. CRKT thought the concept of the pendant/money clip knife was brilliant, and came up with their new production Ashworth Turtle series. No, there are no exotic materials, but this is a useful pen knife suited to hundreds of daily tasks around the house and office, from clipping recipes to opening packages to sharpening pencils. The 1.0 Razor-Sharp stubby spear point blade is polished high-carbon stainless steel. Just press the blade tang to open with either hand.
In lieu of exotic handle scale materials, CRKT discovered todays advanced CPL composites, used widely in modern bowling balls. This material is exceptionally strong and tough. The scales can be injection molded in an almost infinite variety of colors and swirl patterns. Four scale colors are available: black, brown, blue and white. Because of the molding process, the swirl patterns vary considerably, so every Turtle is unique. The Turtle frame is high-carbon stainless steel with a polished finish.
The CRKT Turtle is engineered to be convertible. It comes with one CPL handle scale on the front and a polished stainless money clip on the back. If you decide to wear it as a pendant on your favorite neck chain (not included), simply unscrew the money clip, and attach the second CPL scale on the back. Then fold out the hidden chain holder and you are ready to make a fashion statement.

Round 28: Otherwise Constricted
The artists featured in Round 28: Otherwise Constricted display their innovation through renovation. Jeff Williams literally has built up and brought down his Project Row House, an ongoing installation; he adds new walls and wood floors to show what could be, but also tears down old walls and lifts up parts of the floor to reveal what was. Lovie Olivia has created a place of fantasy and meditation. Her room is painted black from floor to ceiling and adorned with paintings of women and birds. Golden laces are strung from each work and attached to nests of shells and eggs on the floor. Julie Spielman has filled her space with a quilt made of her mothers linens; the large, white sheet takes up the entire space and is hung from the ceiling so it seems to float just above the floor. And Robert Hodge has painted the walls of another house with silhouettes of people from the streets of his community holding dreamcatchers; he depicts women using a payphone, men pushing shopping carts and children playing in the streets while holding the mystical, web-like circles. See how these artists didnt keep house from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. Through June 22. 2500 Holman. For information, call 713-526-7662 or visit www.projectrowhouses.org. Free.
Wednesdays-Sundays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: March 22. Continues through June 22, 2008
