"Law enforcement" is a broad term. The act of enforcing the law involves compelling others to obey and/or observe the laws and regulations of a specific jurisdiction. The ultimate goal of law enforcement careers is the protection, safety, and security of people and property. Law enforcement occurs at local, city or county levels, at state levels, and at the national or federal level. Law enforcement careers include jobs that monitor the actions of others and make arrests in order to enforce laws. They also include jobs that investigate violations of the law and maintain investigative and arrest reports.
Law enforcement careers range from entry-level clerical positions and investigative-type jobs to supervisory and leadership roles. At the local and state levels, the most common law enforcement jobs are patrol officer, police detective, state trooper, corrections officer, probation officer, and law enforcement officer. Law enforcement careers at the federal level include careers as FBI and Secret Service agents, Border Patrol agents, and Customs officials.
Each type of job in law enforcement has specific age, education, and experience requirements. With advances in science and technology, law enforcement has become complex and specialized. In the past, a high school diploma was the only educational requirement needed for anyone interested in entering a police academy to train to become a police officer. Today, however, most law enforcement careers require post-secondary training and education, as well as a specific amount of professional job experience.
There is a variety of law enforcement and criminal justice study programs available, ranging from certificate-level programs to associate and undergraduate degree programs to specialized graduate-level studies. Educational institutions have recognized the demand for law enforcement programs; today many accredited schools and colleges have implemented degree programs in criminal justice and law enforcement. Trade or career-oriented schools, as well as community colleges, offer programs that help students obtain certificates and degrees to get them started in a variety of law enforcement careers. Four-year colleges and universities have programs for both undergraduate (bachelor's) and graduate (master's and doctorate) degrees. In many cases these studies can also be completed online.
Law enforcement careers can be dangerous and difficult. Skilled law enforcement professionals face and address the dangers of their jobs appropriately and safely, thanks to the extensive training they receive. By effectively handling situations in their roles to protect and serve, many in law enforcement also find their chosen careers challenging, fulfilling, and rewarding.
Advantages of Law Enforcement Careers
As with many jobs, law enforcement careers include on-the-job training, regular salary increases, good benefits, and opportunities for career advancement. The advantages of a career in law enforcement do not end there, however.
The variety of jobs from which to choose makes law enforcement an attractive career option. For someone who wishes to work at the local government level, law enforcement career options include municipal police officer, private security guard, and corrections officer positions. State-level law enforcement jobs include positions as state troopers and as highway patrol officers. Federal law enforcement jobs can either be investigative or uniformed in nature. Federal investigative-type jobs are performed within the federal agencies that enforce United States Code, such as the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Uniformed jobs, such as those in the Secret Service or Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), are those that provide for the safety and security of government officials, federal buildings, and land.
Another of the advantages of a law enforcement career is the level of job security involved. Although it is unfortunate that crime and security concerns persist in the United States, these issues, combined with increases in our population, generate consistent demand for competent, qualified police officers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has provided information indicating that there will be approximately 100,000 police officers employed in the United States by the year 2016. Police officers have opportunities for career advancement, along with an increased salary. They have generous pension plans that allow them to retire in their forties if they so choose. And although local budgets dictate the number of police positions available in a given municipality, any officer who is laid off can immediately apply for work in another agency.
Law enforcement jobs are generally worked in shifts. Although a police officer can be required to rotate among three eight-hour shifts, many police forces work 12-hour shifts where union and local laws permit. Scheduling for 12-hour shifts allows for a three-day weekend every other weekend, which contributes to an increase in employee morale.
Law enforcement careers also offer financial benefits. Federal law enforcement employees receive special salary rates, and because of the overtime hours they are expected to work, some receive law enforcement availability pay (LEAP), equal to 25 percent of the employee's salary grade. Local and state police frequently earn more than their stated salary, also as a result of overtime worked. Most police departments provide their officers with a special allowance for their uniforms. Many police officers retire at half-pay after completing 20 years of service; this relatively early retirement allows these individuals to go on to pursue second careers if they wish and is one of the strongest advantages of a law enforcement career.
To say law enforcement and criminal justice careers can be fulfilling is probably an understatement. A person who enters law enforcement does so because of the opportunities available for an interesting, meaningful career that allows the individual to be in a position to protect, help, and serve the public. Although the risks and dangers of the job can be high, the challenges presented, the teamwork, and the sense of accomplishment can be very rewarding. People who work in law enforcement do so because they want to, not because they have to.
Disadvantages of Law Enforcement Careers
Every job has its disadvantages, but the negative attributes of law enforcement jobs have probably persuaded more than one potential recruit to change career paths. The dangers, stress, and emotional demands are many, and anyone considering entering a career in law enforcement should think them through very carefully.
Few would disagree that law enforcement jobs can be dangerous. In fact, police officers and detectives have very high rates of illness and on-the-job injuries. By their very nature, law enforcement jobs entail involvement with crime and criminals, responding to calls, and investigating suspicious activity. Officers face assaults, shootings, falls, and even accidental discharges of their guns. They face possible death by automobile due to the amount of time they spend in their police cars, whether on routine patrol duty, responding to a call, or conducting a high-speed chase. Further, police officers are responsible for directing traffic and working alongside roadways during traffic stops, all of which contribute to an increased risk of death by automobile accident.
Law enforcement careers can be mentally and emotionally demanding and draining. In situations of extreme danger, the officer must remain calm and in control. An officer cannot show fear or nerves at any time. An officer must remain stoic in the midst of the most emotional of circumstances. This emotional constraint requires tremendous mental stamina and energy, which can eventually drain the officer physically to the point that the officer withdraws from social and family life.
Law enforcement careers can be extremely stressful. A police officer must be able to handle immediate and dramatic environmental changes in that the officer must be prepared to transition from a completely calm situation one minute to one of high activity, stress, and danger the next. Police officers must be on high alert at all times.
In spite of the dangers and demands of the job, the salaries of law enforcement officials can differ greatly from one geographic area to another. Officers who work in a potentially dangerous location such as a large, crime-ridden city, will earn more than those who work in small, rural towns. For example, the crime rate is very high in Los Angeles, California, so police officers there receive the highest salaries. In contrast, police officers in rural North Carolina earn less than half the salary of their California counterparts. In some locations the average starting pay for a rookie police officer is below $25,000 per year.
Work schedules can be hard on junior officers, whose shift work frequently requires them to work on weekends, holidays, and nights. In the course of an investigation, police officers and detectives work long hours. Some federal agents, for example special agents of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) or those in the U.S. Secret Service, must travel extensively, often on short notice, in the course of performing their job duties. They can even be required to relocate several times throughout their careers. All of these schedule requirements upset the routines that are needed for healthy marriages and family growth and development.
As a result of the dangers and demands in law enforcement jobs, statistics point to high divorce rates, high levels of alcoholism, and sadly, high rates of suicide among police officers. Anyone considering a career in law enforcement should be made fully aware of the negative attributes of these jobs before deciding to enter the field.

For a definite diagnosis, doctors should consider:
- Clinical presentation — visual examination of skin lesions.
- Lesion biopsy — a sample of the blistered skin is removed and examined under the microscope. Additionally, the layer of skin in which cell-to-cell separation occurs can be determined.
- Direct immunofluorescence — the skin sample is treated to detect desmoglein antibodies in the skin. The presence of these antibodies indicates pemphigus.
- Indirect Immunofluorescence or antibody titer test. This measures desmoglein autoantibodies in the blood serum. It may be used to obtain a more complete understanding of the course of the disease.
- ELISA A serum assay for desmoglein antibodies, known as ELISA, is also available. Although in many cases there is a correlation between ELISA and disease activity it is not so in every case.
Please note that immunoflourescent testing (testing for circulating antibodies) for MMP is highly unreliable and is negative in the majority of cases. It is important to obtain positive direct immunofluorescence results (biopsies), even if it requires repeat biopsies because it can mimic other diseases such as lichen planus.
If the mouth and nose are the only involvement, treatment should be limited to topical steroids, intralesional steroid injections, or occasional short bursts of oral corticosteroids.
If only the gums are involved, topical therapy applied with flexible dental trays (similar to the disposable molds used to deliver fluoride treatments to the teeth).
A different situation exists if the eyes, esophagus or larynx are involved. In such cases, involvement could include blindness and asphyxiation (due to scarring), and aggressive systemic therapy is warranted. Systemic steroids may not adequately control progression; most other therapies only slow the scarring process. The treatment of choice is oral cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan). About 3/4 of the patients treated with this regimen tolerate the drug. Most of these patients will have complete clinical remission after all drugs are withdrawn.
Occasionally, patients respond to oral dapsone. Those that respond well do so quickly, but unfortunately, these patients are in the minority. Azathioprine and Mycophenolate Mofetil is an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate Cytoxan. Cyclosporine is not recommended for use in MMP/CP. Recently, the biologics have been noted as being an alternative treatment for MMP/CP – specifically rituximab, etanercept, and infliximab.

Colorado- Rocky Mountain High
Yet another post with a John Denver song title. Last time was for West Virginia, nicknamed "The Mountain State". No offense to the folks from Appalachia, but those "mountains" are anthills compared to the majesties of the Rockies. At some point in western Kansas, surrounded by long rolling hills and farmland, I reached 3000 feet in elevation- the same height above sea level as the higher mountains in West Virginia. It was hard to tell, but throughout Kansas, I was slowly and gradually walking uphill. As I crossed into Colorado, setting my watch back an hour for mountain time, I expected to see the Rockies at the top of each hill.… Read more

gauze wedding dresses
Bridal fashion is no longer necessarily being influenced by events that happen in society, but rather by the attempt to try to push boundaries and create trends that are fresh and fashion forward. Some of the trends that are seen on today's brides are wedding gowns that could almost be worn outside of their wedding day. Simplicity and minimalistic are the keywords for the young, fashion savvy brides who want to be able to enjoy their special wedding day with comfort while feeling free yet beautiful. Many of the younger women who are getting engaged these days are planning weddings that are budget friendly, which calls for simpler wedding gowns to go with the theme of the less extravagant or minimalistic weddings. wedding dresses

Dinner Tonight: Cheddar Scallion Polenta Croquettes Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
When I think of polenta, I think soft and creamy cornmeal served warm from the pot, a delicious northern Italian staple. But polenta also comes in another form, where it's allowed to cool and firm up to be cut into shapes and re-cooked. Polenta in its soft form has always been my go-to—mostly because a grilled piece of cornmeal never much enticed me—until I came across this recipe in Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, where it's breaded and shallow-fried.
It sounded like a fine way to accompany some handmade sausages I'd picked up at an Local, an artisanal butcher shop in Michigan. The recipe also mixes in sharp cheddar and scallions to the cooked cornmeal to give it a savory bite before spreading on a baking sheet to cool. Dipped in an egg wash and then breadcrumbs, the croquettes come out crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside.
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:50 minutes
- Rated:
- 6-8 cups water
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cups grated cheddar
- 6 scallions, including a little of the green part, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
- Olive oil, for frying
In a large saucepan, bring the water to boil, then whisk in the cornmeal in a slow stream to prevent any lumps. Add the salt, turn the heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cornmeal is soft and the polenta is quite firm and pulling away from the sides of the pot (if the cornmeal is not yet soft, add water as necessary). Add the cheddar, scallions, and parsley, stir well to combine, then pour the polenta onto a baking sheet to cool and set up.
Once the polenta is cooled and firm, cut it into 3-inch squares or circles (it should be about 1/2 inch thick). Whisk the eggs and milk together in a small bowl and spread the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip each polenta croquette in the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs.
Heat the olive oil over high heat until almost smoking. Carefully add the croquettes, cooking in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes, then flip carefully to cook the other side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining croquettes. Serve with sprinkled parsley.

So I've technically done my first drum solo now. Sure I've drummed for dancers for years and have played for who knows how many dancers, but tonight (or technically, last night) I've performed my first honest to goodness drum solo. Sure, I've been in settings where I've played back up for another drum soloist (and I understand that the idea of a 'drum solo' can be confusing when it can include more than one musician and/or dancers, but indulge me for a bit) and have drummed 'solo' in workshop settings for dancers playing rhythms as a teaching tool for workshop attendees.
But never as a soloist in a performative setting.
The biggest irony here is that the many years of playing drums included mainly playing Egyptian tabla or other Middle Eastern drums for mostly bellydancers (the occasional gig playing with Greek bands or my Balkan band, Kermes for Greek folk dancers and Balkan folk dancers notwithstanding). What is ironic is that my first drum solo happened to be on the doira, for Uzbek dance. And it looks like most of my drum soloing will include many more Central Asian styles–the next piece that Raks Makam will be working on is a Bukharan doira solo. I'm stoked for this and so looking forward to learning more about all this wonderful Central Asian music!
Most importantly, I just love working so closely with dancers. Really I love working with any collaborators in general, but especially non-musicians, and most especially with artists in an art form that is so closely tied to music as dance is.
Being a soloist (musician) means a couple of obvious things. No one else is responsible for learning the music but me, which means that while I have no one getting in the way of picking up a new tune. The other thing is I also have no one else to rely on if things go awry musically. I'll trade the one pressure for the other in a heartbeat!
Ok, I must get some sleep before heading up to Chicago to play some Klingon music!

Lost Wages, Nevada
No cross country road-trip is complete without a little bit of Las Vegas. And this past Thursday, the El Cortez Hotel and Casino was exactly that. A very little bit of Las Vegas.
While on this trip, we haven't stayed in many hotels. If you haven't been keeping up, "we" refers to myself and fellow comedian Josh Jacobs, and "this trip" refers to a massive several-month and few-dozen state comedy tour consisting mostly of hangovers. Oh, come on, I'm kidding – I know enough to drink water before I go to sleep.
Even when hotel rooms are free, we often find them antiseptic and impersonal. Sometimes I like the quiet time a hotel gives me to regroup from spending the rest of the week at college parties. But more often than not, we prefer staying with people who don't wear nametags with their city and state.
But in Vegas, we had no choice. We don't know anyone in Vegas, if you don't count the bartender I tried to pick up when I was there two years ago. And you can't count her, because talking to someone for five minutes and leaving without knowledge of their phone number never counts for anything.
I do, however, know someone who knows someone in Vegas. His name is Orbitz, and he charges a slight fee for this knowledge. Okay, so I used a website to find a cheap hotel. It was either that or get to Vegas without sleeping arrangements, and that is never a good idea. If there is one town where it's dangerous to be awake longer than usual, it's Las Vegas.
The El Cortez was only $21 including tax for both of us. To put that in perspective, my rent in New York is almost double that. But that's without factoring in utilities. In New York, my utilities consist of gas and electric. In Las Vegas, I also have to pay for my share of the month's Texas Hold 'Em.
Before I discuss my penchant for donating money to casinos, I should point out a few things about how crappy the El Cortez is. And the woman on the phone really called it "The El Cortez." That means "The The Cortez." Alternatively, you can call it "El The Cortez" or "El El Cortez."
The sign in the elevator letting me know that security would be willing to walk me to my car tipped me off to the kind of place this was. And if that weren't budget enough, their "Round the Clock" food specials were only combined Round the Clock – each one was available for a few hours. And there are no clocks in Las Vegas, so you can't see what time your hotel started sucking. Orbitz says The El El The Cortez has three stars. But I don't think it ever got them all in the same year. To be fair, the place across the street is worse – it advertises a $4.95 all you can eat buffet, and in small letters the sign says "nearby."
I'm not one to go to Vegas without some gambling, especially in a hotel this boring. So I took $50 and hit the poker tables. Not blackjack this time - I didn't want to play a game against the house. I figured that the odds were better playing against people who couldn't afford a grammatically correct hotel.
I was already up $20 when I sat down. Not technically, but that's how much I would have lost if I actually played Keno during dinner instead of just jotting down numbers and seeing if they'd win. So when I went up 20 or so real dollars very quickly, I was in a good mood. Especially because I was the only non-regular at the table. To be a regular at any casino is sad. To be a regular at The El Cortez is, well, these guys.
But I stayed in a bit too long, and I lost a big hand on an unlucky draw. (The River, for those of you who play). I wasn't upset, because I lost the money to someone who needed it more than me. He needed it for many things. For instance, to afford a new watch so he could find out the details on the next shift of Round the Clock specials.
I got up, walked over to the roulette wheel, put the remaining $21 I had on black, surprisingly hit, and walked away. I smiled: I had only lost $8 on the night. In other words, I spent $29 on a night in Vegas. $9, if you add my winnings from not playing Keno.
Next time I go to Vegas, maybe I'll just play the change machines. It takes as much talent as slots, and I'd win every time. Though I admit – it's a little less exciting than walking through The El Les Ha Het Das Cortez Hotel and Casino, and being thankful that I was leaving the next day.
As long as someone is available to walk me to my car.

Dr. Evangelos J. Gizis
Interim President
Hunter College of the
City University of New York
695 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10021
Complaint No. XXXX
Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act
Dear Dr. Gizis:
This is to advise you of the finding in the complaint filed with this Office by [Student] who alleged that Hunter College of the City University of New York (College) violated his rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Specifically, the Student alleged that Mr. Cullen Schaffer, a computer science professor, posted his exam and final grade on a web page along with the last four digits of his social security number.
This Office advised you of the allegation by letter dated August 21, 2000, and you responded on behalf of the College by letter dated September 25, 2000. You state in your letter that many College professors do post grades by the last four digits of a student's social security number. You state that "no student names are listed" and that this "enables students to easily identify their own grades, yet remain unable to identify any other student's identities." You also state that the College does "not consider this practice to be in violation of FERPA or any other applicable laws."
FERPA protects privacy interests of parents in their children's "education records," and generally prohibits the disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records without the consent of the parent. The term "education records" is broadly defined as all records, files, documents and other materials which:
contain information directly related to a student; and are maintained by the educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution.
20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(4)(A); 34 CFR § 99.3 "Education records." When a student reaches the age of 18 or attends an institution of postsecondary education, the student is considered an "eligible student" under FERPA and all of the rights afforded by FERPA transfer from the parents to the student.
Under FERPA an eligible student must provide his or her prior written consent before an educational agency or institution discloses personally identifiable information from his or her education records. 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(b); 34 CFR § 99.30. Section 99.3 of the regulations defines the "Personally identifiable information" as information that includes but is not limited to:
- the student's name;
- the name of the student's parent or other family member;
- the address of the student or the student's family;
- a personal identifier, such as the student's social security number or student number;
- a list of personal characteristics that would make the student's identity easily traceable; or
- other information that would make the student's identity easily traceable.
34 CFR § 99.3 "Personally identifiable information." (Emphasis added.) A student's social security number is, by definition, "personally identifiable information" under FERPA, and may not be disclosed without consent in any form.
FERPA provides that educational agencies and institutions may not disclose personally identifiable, non-directory information from education records unless a parent or eligible student has provided a signed and dated written consent in accordance with the requirements of § 99.30 of the FERPA regulations. While there are certain exceptions to this general prohibition, none permit an educational agency or institution to publicly disclose personally identifiable information, including the student's grades and portions of the student's social security number, from the education records of students.
In this case, the Student's grades were publicly disclosed along with the last four digits of his social security number absent his consent when they were posted on a web page. Because a social security number, or portions thereof, are by definition "personally identifiable information" under FERPA, this Office finds that the College violated the Student's rights under FERPA as alleged. The Student will be advised of this finding by copy of this letter.
We note that FERPA does not prevent an educational agency or institution from posting the grades of students without written consent when it is not done in a personally identifiable manner. Thus, while FERPA precludes a school from posting grades by social security numbers, student ID numbers, or by names because these types of information are personally identifiable or easily traceable to the students, nothing in FERPA would preclude a school from assigning individual numbers to students for the purpose of posting grades as long as those numbers are known only to the student and the school officials who assigned them.
We will close the investigation of the complaint upon receipt of assurance that the College has taken appropriate steps to come into compliance with FERPA. Specifically, please provide this Office with assurance that: 1) The College has taken appropriate steps to revise its policy on posting grades in accordance with the provisions of FERPA as set forth in this letter of finding and 2) appropriate College officials have been advised of FERPA's prohibition on posting grades in personally identifiable form, and that using a student's social security number, or a portion of that number, means a disclosure in personally identifiable form under FERPA. At a minimum, the College should provide a memorandum to all appropriate staff outlining the above requirements of FERPA and provide this Office of such once it has been distributed.
Thank you for your cooperation in the investigation of this complaint. Please provide the requested assurances within two weeks of your receipt of this letter.
LeRoy S. Rooker
Family Policy Compliance Office

Scented Oil - Apple Spice
This is for a .5 ounce bottle of scented oil. These oils are 100% pure. They can be used with the Candlelight Rocks to make them a scented candle.
Make sure you light the candle for 10 minutes or so. The wick holder is actually made of glass. Once this glass piece gets hot you are ready to apply the scent. Take an eyedropper and drop 4-5 drops of the scented oil directly on the glass wick holder. You should almost hear it sizzle. If the glass is not warm enough, no enough of the scent will be released.
This will burn for 45 minutes or so. After that, the scent burns off. You can reapply a different scent or the same scent. There is no need to clean the wick holder. All of the scent applied will burn off. You can completely control the amount of scent in your room; fewer drop less scent.

I'm finding it so hard to believe, I have just completed, as of May 8th, a year at the Clark County YMCA. It just doesn't seem like it could possibly be a year. I've just been having so much fun. So much has changed during this year. I went from two classes a week to nine classes a week. I have developed a wonderful Deep Water Program and I have become an Aquatic Exercise Association Certified Fitness Professional. The YMCA has also changed. Several people who were there when I started last year have moved on and some others have moved up. The YMCA is now completing a huge renovation that has added a wonderful lap pool, indoor track and so much more. Students have also come and gone. Looking back on this year really tells me how far I've gone. I wonder what is going to happen this year.
Friday, April 04, 2014 • Vancouver, WA 98682
I had a nice conversation this morning. One of the ladies in my class was so frustrated. She has been working out so hard and even though her clothes are fitting better and she is feeling better, she is frustrated with the scale. I don't blame her. The scale is a mean thing. And when you think about it, the scale really doesn't mean that much. The most important thing in a healthy life is that you feel well, eat well and stay active. When you eat well, you feel good and have lots of energy. When you exercise, your joints feel good and you have lots of strength to do everything that you want to do. So when that scale doesn't show what you want it to, don't worry about it. Just be healthy.
Tuesday, April 01, 2014 • Vancouver, WA 98682
Sometimes life can throw curves, but you just need to keep swinging. The month of March was really difficult. I had a friend pass away at the very end of February, then had my Aquatic Certification Exam. Not long after another friend went into hospice, right after celebrating my sons 11th birthday. The month was like a roller coaster with huge downs and wonderful ups. Yesterday I received notification that I passed my latest certification exam and felt like I could fly. The big thing is, even though things get hard, just keep moving forward. You never know where that road your on is going to take you.

Every New Year, many people make resolutions. I am making a resolution too. I resolve to cut out most of the processed food this year. Resolutions to work out more. Resolutions to give up sugar. Resolutions to lose weight. Then by the time March rolls around, most of those people have given up and gone back to what they were doing before. But that doesn't make New Years resolutions worthless. After all, this is a new year and you have 365 days to make lasting changes that can really improve your life and health. So set yourself up for success. For example, Instead of saying tomorrow I'm going to give up sugar and never have another ice cream or cake in your life, make your change a little more gradual. Instead of a sweet every night for dessert, try having a yogurt or piece of fruit. Maybe a nice glass of cold water with lemon or mango. Or instead of dessert, a nice cup of tea with a good book and a warm blanket. Do this three times a week, then four times a week, then five times until you would much rather have the piece of fruit than a piece of cake. Your body gets used to things like sugar. So a gradual change is much easier to make into a permanent change. I plan to spend the whole year working on my resolution. Gradual change goes for exercise too. If you decide to exercise every day for an hour, you will soon have illness, family, soreness and a multitude of other reasons to not work out. So instead, maybe start with an exercise class three times a week. Then later add going to the weight room, start swimming, go on bike rides or something else. Make your exercise time as important as going to work. Whatever your resolution is, the big thing is to love yourself. For the most part, the changes you are resolving to change will change your life. These changes will give you health. You will have stress relief, sleep better, have more energy, look better, and be stronger. So remember, when you make this resolution, make the changes slowly and stick with it. In the end, this resolution will make your life better.

I haven't posted on the blog for a while. I just haven't been feeling well. I've been tired. I've had stomach pain. Just not feeling good. I haven't felt well for a while now. Everything came to a head a couple weeks ago when I went into the hospital with severe pain. It turns out that is was a huge kidney stone. Kidney stones always seemed to be such a small thing to me. The reality is, kidney stones are a BIG DEAL. It's more than just the extreme pain. A kidney stone can damage your kidney and can cause infection. One of the best ways to avoid kidney stones is to drink water. It's such a simple thing and yet so hard for me to do. I've never liked drinking a lot of water. Not even when living in Arizona. But ignoring your bodies needs can really cause problems with your life. So don't ignore what your body says. First drink plenty of water. The easiest way to make sure you have enough is to take your body weight, cut the amount in half and drink that amount in ounces every day. So a two hundred pound person needs to drink 100 lunches of water every day. I have started carrying my britta bottle with me everywhere. I try to drink the whole bottle worth of water at least 4 times every day. Listen to your body and care for your body. It's the only body you have. Even a little thing can make a big difference.

Today is the first day of Fall. The perfect timing of weather, the wind is blowing and the rain is falling. Soon the leaves will be turning and falling. Also, with Fall, the kids are back in school and for me that means a full calendar with a multitude of different things. Running my daughter to school early for volleyball practice, picking my son up late after patrol. Then the Boys and Girl Scouts have started their meetings, rehearsals for the Christmas program have started and soon and so on. As a busy working mom it's so easy to get caught up in all the activities, every one is so important. But where does that leave me? Often, with so many of us busy working moms it means too little sleep and what is the easiest and fastest way to feed those little bellies. That can also lead to some bad choices made. First, us Moms need to remember, we are the glue that holds these families together. So we need to make sure to take care of ourselves. It may take planning and work, but we are worth it. I know the husband and kids will agree with that. With that being said, we need to get enough sleep every night. A least 6-8 hours is most beneficial. Second, we need to have time to ourselves to read a book, take a bath, or dance a jig. Take the time to exercise too. Take a walk, do some push ups, climb the stairs or hit a punching bag. Everyone needs some peaceful time for themselves. And finally, eat good food. There is so much being said about eating clean, but do you know what that is. Eating clean is eating food like great grandma ate. Fruit and vegetables out of a garden instead of a can. Bread made with things like flour, salt and yeast instead of high fructose corn syrup. And dinners put together with things other than dyes. Yes it takes more time, but isn't your family and your worth it? So plan your meals. Have fresh fruit and sliced vegetables on hand for snacks instead of chips and crackers. Organic Yogurt instead of ice cream.

When I first started this journey to health and life, I started by walking the kids to school in the morning. It has been difficult because of my going back to school, the kids going to two different schools that didn't leave me time to do it, and adding a new job. This week the kids are back in school and with my daughter playing volleyball, I drop her off early. So that leaves me time to walk my son to school. I have done that over the past two days. I can't believe how hard it's been. I have been working out a great deal in the water. Working on land has been so different. I tell my students in my aqua class that we don't live in water, we live on land so it's important to do both water and land exercises. This really comes to life for me right now. Doing just one type of exercise is NOT the key to health. Just as when it comes to food, variety is the spice of life. So as you go out in the world, do all kinds of things. Walk, hike, bike, swim, weight lift. Fill your life with every kind of activity you can and enjoy your activity. Enjoy your life.

Sometimes one of the best things to do for your fitness is to create a challenge. A friend of mine started a challenge for this month and I joined in. It's called ten down. What you do is choose three exercises. I chose sit ups, push ups, and squats. Each day you do ten of each, then turn around and do 9 of each etc. all the way down to one. By the time you get done you will have competed 52 of each exercise. There are two days off allowed each week and the challenge goes for the entire month. Wow, what a great way to challenge yourself to kick it up a notch.

This week I took my son to Cub Scout Camp. It was a Wonderful experience. One of the things I will remember most about this trip is the hike to the neighboring Boy Scout camp. I had hurt my knee last year and my ankle 6 months ago. Since my injuries I had fallen back into my past ways and have been a bit lazy in my work outs. I paid for it this trip. We were at the furthest camping spot from everything and after the first day of pushing myself so hard hiking everywhere, I was really sore. I had tight calves and other sore spots too. The third day of camping was the hardest. We hiked to the neighboring Boy Scout Camp. It started with a steep climb down, a mile hike across the deep sand dunes, then a horrendously long hike up a steep switchback trail up to the camp. It took twenty minutes just to get to the top. Even the boys were worn out from the climb. After that we walked for another three miles around the camp to see everything this place had to offer. My son kept looking to me saying how much his legs hurt. I let him know I was hurting too, but we would do it together. He agreed that we were tough. We kept walking one foot in front of the other and one step at a time. We completed the hike, hand in hand. This hike was REALLY HARD. But we survived. We may have been the last ones of the group, but we did it. Just that he kept going, even though it was hard taught him not to give up, even when it's hard. It also taught him about not giving up by my own example too. I could have sat down and I could have gotten a ride back to the Cub Camp. But I think he got a lot out of this by us doing it together. The next day I got to see him challenge himself in the obstical course. As we came to the fourth day of camping, I found that hiking around the camp from one end to the other became easier and easier. Now I'm home. I've been taking a day of rest to get the soreness out of my muscles, then I plan to keep pushing myself more. I'm not going to stop just because I'm home. By next camping trip, I intend to be at the front in the hikes instead of the end. It's never too late to start changing your future.

I was reading in my idea fit magazine about obesity in kids. One of the things it said was that due to the kids increasing weight their lifespan is going to be less than our own. I look at my own kids and as a Mom, of course I am always worried about them. Especially since I have battled my weight. I hope I have been teaching them enough about nutrition and how to cook good food for themselves. I Was watching Joel Osteen who spoke about a person he knew. He said that if we continue to act as we have it will continue to be a problem through generations. But if we stop and make a change now, that change is what's going to happen through those generations. It's so much easier to let them play video games and watch TV so I can get some work done. But what's easy isn't always what's best. Besides, I need to stay active myself. So this week we went for a long bike ride. This afternoon we are going swimming. Tomorrow we are going to camp where we will be hiking and playing. Yes, I would like to be lazy and relax but when it comes down to it, it really is much more fun, for all of us, to go swimming tis afternoon. On our bike ride a few days ago, we saw an eagle, a heron and a bee hive just like out of Winnie the Pooh. When we go to Scout camp we will do some star gazing, hiking and so many other active things. We will be building memories that my kids can share when they have kids of their own. I know money can be a problem with so many people. But it doesn't cost money to go on a bike ride outside of the initial investment of a bike. You can walk to the friend on the corner instead of call or text. Walk through a farmers market. Have the kids join you to rake the leaves, pull the weeds or mow the yard. Go to the local school and swing with them. These are the memories the kids will remember. These are also the memories that you will remember. And you will be helping to break the cycle of obesity.

Missoula College Site Set, East Broadway Construction to Begin in a Few Years
After a careful look over, University of Montana President Royce Engstrom announced that construction for the new Missoula College is set to be at 1205 E. Broadway.
UM has completed a total environmental assessment for the planned building of the college and is set to begin groundbreaking. Peggy Kuhr, UM Vice President for Integrated Communications said the site would result in no significant impacts on the environment.
"The architect will go into a detailed design development phase," Kuhr said. "Now that the site has been approved as a final site, the rough schematics become the actual design. We hope, here at the university, to have the ceremonial groundbreaking just as classes are starting in the fall."
UM intends for detailed design development to begin immediately, with other groundbreaking to follow shortly after. Building, however, won't start for a few more years.
"Really, in the fall, if anything there would be some kind of groundwork, but you wouldn't see actual building going on," Kuhr said. "Actual construction, we may be looking at the spring next year, and building ready to go, we're really talking about a couple of years away."
The 2013 Montana Legislature approved $29 million in state funding for a new Missoula College building, with an additional $3 million coming from UM.

Get Ready for Priority Hints
Priority Hints are coming to an Origin Trial near you! Try them out!
Adapting to Users with Client Hints
Client hints are a set of HTTP request headers we can use to change how we deliver page resources based on characteristics of a user's device and network connection. In this article, you'll learn all about client hints, how they work, and a few ideas on how you can use them to make your site faster for users.
Reduce JavaScript Payloads with Code Splitting
Modern sites often contain a lot of JavaScript. These scripts are often sent down in large, monolithic bundles which can take a long time to download and process. Code-splitting encourages breaking up these scripts so you only send what a user needs when they need it.
Reduce JavaScript Payloads with Tree Shaking
Knowing where to begin optimizing your application's JavaScript can be daunting. If you're taking advantage of modern tooling such as webpack, however, tree shaking might be a good place to start!
Assessing Loading Performance in Real Life with Navigation and Resource Timing
When we measure loading performance, we often do so using testing tools that only describe performance from the perspective of the tester. If we want to measure loading performance from the user's perspective, we must rely on the Navigation and Resource Timing APIs.
Using Lighthouse To Improve Page Load Performance
New perf audits for preload, preconnect, GIFs, and more.
Replace Animated GIFs with Video
Everyone loves animated GIFs. The only problem is that they can be massive, often weighing in at several megabytes. In this guide, you'll learn how to curb the bloat caused by animated GIFs by replacing them with MPEG-4 and WebM video sources!
Lazy Loading Images and Video
If your site has a ton of images and video, but you don't want to cut down on any of it, lazy loading might be just the technique you need to improve initial page load time and lower per-page payload.
Why Performance Matters
Thanks to mobile device and network proliferation, more people are using the web than ever before. As this user base grows, performance is more important than ever. In this article, find out why performance matters, and learn what you can do to make the web faster for everyone.
Delivering Fast and Light Applications with Save-Data
The Save-Data client hint request header available in Chrome, Opera, and Yandex browsers enables developers to deliver fast and light applications to users who have opted-in to 'data saving' mode in the browser.

Work and travel
Our dreams are their reality, the world is their field of work. Seven digital nomads give us a glimpse into their travel blogs.
Jens Notroff
Adventure in Greenland
We knew what we were in for because my friends and I had kayaked along Greenland's wild coast before. But this time, a storm pushed us to our physical limits. We had difficulty making it back to land, but after a battle that lasted several hours, we reached a peninsula where we could spend the night. The wind was so strong that I feared our tents would tear. The next morning we woke up to no wind at all and an innocent blue sky.
Nadine Pungs
Alone in Iran
Never have I met such inquisitive people as I did in Iran. I spent 30 days traveling there – alone, but never lonely. No matter how little English people spoke, they always made a huge effort to communicate with me. They usually also invited me for dinner or a cup of tea. Once I visited a family in Kashan, in Isfahan province. We ate our meal sitting on the floor, and they wanted to know everything: where I was from, what I was doing in Iran, and most importantly, how I liked it there. They also had a big request: to please tell the Germans (my people back home) how wonderful their country is.
Gitti Müller
Healers, Hippies and Yogis
Ibiza is home to many dropouts from society, who have taught me a lot. During a yoga lesson in a woodland clearing, I pictured what it would be like to be a tree, and my perception of the sounds around me and the different shades of green intensified. It may sound strange, but that was one of the most beautiful moments I ever experienced. Seeing the world from a different perspective is what travel's all about.
Susanne Maier
A Gorilla in Rwanda
Of course I was scared when the silverback came toward me. There was no glass and no fence between us, and he was just a few meters away. This happened in the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. A moment before, I had heard his grunting calls and the hollow sound of him beating his breast, a kind of warning, but all I heard when he came through the undergrowth was a snapping of twigs. I was filled with a seething mixture of fear and fascination. It was one of those moments that make travel worthwhile – and one in which you simply have to trust that all will go well.
Norah Steiner
Sleepless in Tokyo
The Japanese capital is a great city for surprises because it is full of interesting things to discover – like Tsukiji fish market. I went there to see the tuna auction with a few other backpackers whom I had met at the hostel. We got up at 2 a.m., actually managed to get in, and then found ourselves in a gigantic hall full of tuna in the early hours of the morning. The auction itself was extremely short: The fish was sold within two minutes. Then it was time for breakfast – the best sushi in the world. It was definitely worth getting up so early!
Christoph Karrasch
Stranded in Nicaragua
Little Corn Island is the spitting image of the island from the series "Lost": tropical, green and a long way from the mainland. Interestingly, no one I met knew anything about it before they arrived there by accident, and many never left again. Like the French twins who spontaneously decided to open a small hotel. Or the woman from the U.S. who recently married herself. Sound like something from TV? See – I told you.
Susanne Helmer
A trip through the Amercian Southwest
I don't normally like to drive, but what better place to do so than on endless highways with never-ending panoramic views? One very special stop was Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona. I just couldn't get enough of the patterns made by wind and water on the rocks – and their colors, ranging from pale orange to wine-red. I photographed everything, and with every click, I thought: "You'll only be here once. Enjoy it!"

Business professionals behind the Orange Curtain are sick and tired of their LinkedIn accounts being absorbed by LA's shadow.
The business-networking site has long lumped users from Orange County into the catch-all moniker "greater Los Angeles."
Not any more, according to the group "We Are Orange County" headed by Sven Johnston.
U.S. & World
Johnston is the Jefferson Davis of the OC secession movement. He's on a mission to have an Orange County affiliation available on LinkedIn.
So far, W.A.O.C. has 3,235 rebels attached to the cause. That's a lot of angry business professionals.
According to the Orange County Register, Johnston says a truce has finally been reached with LinkedIn:
Hi Sven,
Thanks for your message. Regions vary by size and as membership grows we need to consider dividing them to more accurately reflect location. I'm looking into adding Orange County in the next two weeks. Once your region as been updated in production I'll let you know. Please let me know if you have further questions.
Bill Crane
VP of Engineering
So, OC business-oriented social networkers, rejoice. Your fight was not in vain.

VANCOUVER — It was 44 years between gold and silver medals in Olympic high jump medals for Canada and it took another 36 years to add a third, Tuesday's bronze for Derek Drouin of Sarnia, Ont.
"We've had such good high jumpers, it's about time," the silver medalist, Greg Joy, said in a phone interview after watching Drouin's event on television.
"It's nice to see we've completed the set. Hopefully, it's not another 30-40 years before we get another one."
Joy's leap, on the final full day of the 1976 Montreal Olympics at which Canada failed to earn one gold medal, is one of the most iconic moments in Canadian sports, partly because for 30 years CBC television signed off with "O Canada" and a clip of the Vancouver product clearing the bar, his hands up in the air.
Joy, now an adjudicator for the landlord and tenant board in Ottawa, admits he was initially devastated to lose the gold medal to Jacek Wszola of Poland — "you go to win" — but says that given the honor of carrying the Canadian flag in the closing ceremonies was a huge thrill. And earning the silver medal was "one of the highlights of my life."
Joy, born in Portland, Ore., to British Columbia natives, lived in Vancouver from the age of nine to 17 and is enshrined in the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame.
Canada's first Olympic high jump medalist also has a B.C. connection. Duncan McNaughton, a Cornwall, Ont., native who grew up in Kelowna and Vancouver, won gold in 1932 in Los Angeles.
Russian Ivan Ukhov won Tuesday's high jump in London with a leap of 2.38 metres, with Erik Kynard of the U.S. capturing silver at 2.33. Six men, including Mike Mason of Nanoose Bay, B.C., cleared 2.29, but Drouin, Mutaz Esse Barshim of Qatar and Robert Grabarz of Great Britain were awarded bronze medals with no misses at earlier heights.
Joy, who cleared the bar at 2.23 metres in 1976 in a driving rain, said he was somewhat surprised that 2.29 got a bronze medal this time.
"But anything can happen at the Olympics. The defending Olympic champion bombed out, the defending world champion bombed out. It wasn't raining, it was an excellent track, all the conditions were there to jump high, but that's the Olympics.
"There is a lot of pressure and the high jump has so many variables. It's a difficult sport to be consistently great."
Despite all that, Joy said he believed the 22-year-old Drouin could medal.
"You could see it in his eyes, in his body. Everything about him was in control."
Joy said it was the same sense of control he saw in '76 in Wszola. American Dwight Stones was the favorite going in, a fact one of his teammates, a 100-mete runner pointed out, when they saw Stones on the warmup track just prior to the competition.
"I told him 'No, see him, see his eyes' — and I was pointing at [Wszola] — 'that's the guy I'm worried about.' He was in a zone where he was focused and relaxed at the same time."
Joy, who has lived in Ottawa for 21 years, has been married since 2002 to Sue Holloway, a canoeist and cross-country skier who was the first woman and the first Canadian to compete in both Summer and Winter Olympics in 1976. In 1984 at the Los Angeles Olympics, she won a silver medal in the K-2 500 canoe sprint and a bronze in the K-4 500.
Joy said he's an avid watcher of the Olympics.
"It's human spirit. You can't write a script like you get from the Games."

MWC 15 Special
Not that video telephony is anything new, it was introduced before with ISDN and went mobile with UMTS, but it looks like only the Internet made it popular and Apple made it mobile recently. Anyway, Google has announced today that it's launching Google Talk with video and voice chat for Android phones. It now allows to video and voice chat with friends, family or colleagues - right from a supported Android phone, whether the chat partners are on their compatible Android tablet or phone or using Gmail with Google Talk on their computer.
Google Talk with video and voice chat can make calls over a 3G or 4G data network (if supported by the carrier) or - for sure - over WiFi.
Google Talk with video and voice chat will gradually roll out to Nexus S devices in the next few weeks as part of the Android 2.3.4 over-the-air update and will launch on other Android 2.3+ devices in the future.
Cheers ~ Arne

MOVIE REVIEW- Idiot's delight: Carrell's a brilliant <i>Schmuck</i>
The truly goofy comes shrouded in innocence. If a man is trying to be goofy, it's just an act that quickly grows old. But if he lacks the slightest notion of his peculiarity, there's the secret. The blissful ignorance of Barry Speck is beyond pitiful and ascends to a kind of nobility. He's one of those who truly doesn't have a clue.
In Dinner for Schmucks, a group of arrogant rich men use him as part of an elaborate joke, but the joke is on them. You can't insult a man who is always happy to be just exactly who he is. In the film, the millionaires have a dinner party every year that is a secret joke: Each guest invites another guest who is, whether he realizes it or not, in a contest to determine which guest is the biggest idiot. This is plain cruel.
Dinner for Schmucks was inspired by Francis Veber's French film named The Dinner Game, which was an enormous hit in France but seemed a shade on the mean side. The genius of this version depends on the performance by Steve Carell, who plays Barry Speck as a man impervious to insult and utterly at peace with himself. And a transcendent idiot...

This is the second post in a series to sum up the results of a survey about how conference attendees handle the information and materials they gather at events. You can read the first post here.
In this post, I'll review the first two questions of the survey and their responses. The first question was to ascertain how many conferences each respondent attended within the past 12 months.
Here is the breakdown:
None: 2 respondents
1-2 conferences: 58 respondents
3-4 conferences: 18 respondents
5-6 conferences: 4 respondents
More than 6 conferences: 3 respondents
Question 2 of the survey asked respondents how they take notes at conferences. Respondents chose from the following (and were able to select as many options as they wanted):
- On my computer
- In a notebook
- On loose-leaf paper
- Audio recorder
- I just sit and listen
- Other (please specify)
Most (51 respondents) said they used a notebook, 22 said they used loose-leaf paper and 21 used a computer. Only one used an audio recorder and eight said they just sit and listen. Seventeen responded with "Other" and elaborated. Among these responses, four said they use a handheld device to take notes and still another said, "Sometimes I send myself or another staff member a message from my Blackberry right away during a session if there is a take-away idea that is immediately relevant/implement-able for our org."
Several more said they prefer to take notes on the conference syllabus or other handouts. One respondent mentioned using Twitter to take notes and another said he either live-blogged or tweeted his notes. Only a couple said they used notepads supplied at conferences.
Stay tuned for the respondents' answers about vendors and swag in my next post. Read more at the links below:

VENGEANCE IS THE LORD's Closes At Huntington Theatre Co 12/12
The Huntington Theatre Company continues its 29th season with the world premiere of Bob Glaudini's Vengeance is the Lord's, directed by Peter DuBois. The ensemble cast includes Larry Pine (Carol Mulroney at the Huntington; Angels in America and The Royal Family on Broadway) as Horvath family patriarch Mathew, Roberta Wallach (Off Broadway in The Diary of Anne Frank) as matriarch Margaret, and Lee Tergesen (television's "Oz") as elder son Woodrow, as well as Boston favorites Karl Baker Olson (SpeakEasy Stage Company's The History Boys) as youngest son Donald and Johnny Lee Davenport (Actors' Shakespeare Project's Hamlet) as Parcel Manning.In Vengeance is the Lord's, a mother's call for mercy clashes with a father's need for retribution when their daughter's murderer comes up for parole. Sharp jokes, tough love, and foul-mouthed conversations drive this searing and darkly funny new drama, which unfolds at holiday dinners from Thanksgiving to Easter. As elements of the Horvath's criminal enterprises spill into their home, they are confronted with a classic moral question: what to do when "justice" is not enough? With Vengeance is the Lord's DuBois and LAByrinth Theatre Company member Glaudini unite for a third world premiere production. Their previous collaborations were both LAByrinth Theater Company productions: A View from 151st Street 2007 and Jack Goes Boating also in 2007, starring LABrynth co-Artistic Directors Philip Seymour Hoffman and John Ortiz, who repeated their roles in the recent film version of the play directed by Hoffman. "Peter was the first person I shared my play with," says Glaudini. "Coming off the experience of working with Peter on Jack Goes Boating, I knew he was the right collaborator for this project." Philip [Seymour Hoffman, star of Jack Goes Boating] has also been a champion of the play from the start, and was more than happy to hear that it had found a home here at the Huntington."A number of LAByrinth company members and frequent collaborators unite on this production, including costume designer and LAByrinth co-artistic director, Mimi O'Donnell, lighting designer and LAByrinth member Japhy Weidman, cast member and LAByrinth company member Trevor Long, and composer David Van Tieghem (Jack Goes Boating). Playwright Bob Glaudini's works include On Borrowed Time, Against the Sun (Theater Genesis), and The Claiming Race, Sickness of Youth, and The Poison Tree (presented in Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum's New Works Festival; The Poison Tree went onto be produced on the Taper main stage).The LAByrinth Theater Company, of which Mr. Glaudini is a member, produced his play Dutch Heart of Man at New York's The Public Theater, followed by productions of Jack Goes Boating and A View from 151st Street. The Identical Same Temptation and The Claiming Race were produced at New York's Theater for a New City. He wrote the script for the film Jack Goes Boating, which was released this fall. Mr. Glaudini also directed the world premiere of Sam Shepard's Mad Dog Blues at Theater Genesis and the premiere of Cowboy Mouth written by MR. Shepard and Patti Smith at The American Place Theatre.Director Peter DuBois is the Artistic Director of the Huntington Theatre Company, where he has directed Craig Lucas' Prelude to a Kiss, Gina Gionfriddo's Becky Shaw (after directing its Off Broadway run at Second Stage Theatre and its world premiere at the Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville), and David Grimm's The Miracle at Naples. This season, he will also direct the world premiere Stephen Karam's Sons of the Prophet. DuBois has previously collaborated with Glaudini on the LAByrinth Theater Company productions at The Public Theater of Jack Goes Boating with Philip Seymour Hoffman and A View from 151st Street. Prior to arriving at the Huntington, he served for five years as associate producer and resident director at The Public Theater, preceded by five years as artistic director of the Perseverance Theatre in Juneau, Alaska. He will next direct the London premiere of Becky Shaw at The Almeida Theatre. He recently directed the Off Broadway production of Paul Weitz's Trust at Second Stage Theatre. Additional Public Theater directing credits include Measure for Pleasure (SSDF Callaway Award for Excellence in Direction, Drama League Award nomination for Distinguished Production of a New Play); Richard III with Peter Dinklage; Adrienne Kennedy's Mom, How Did You Meet the Beatles?; and Biro. Selected directing credits for Perseverance include The Seagull, The Winter's Tale, Romeo and Juliet, and The Glass Menagerie, as well as the West Coast premiere of Suzan-Lori Parks' In the Blood and the world premiere of Chay Yew's Long Season. Regional credits include a revival of Sam Shepard's The Curse of the Starving Class at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and productions at Trinity Repertory Company and California Shakespeare Theater. Prior to his work at Perseverance, Mr. DuBois lived and worked in the Czech Republic where he co-founded Asylum, a multi-national squat theatre in Prague. "This will be the third play of Bob Glaudini's I have directed," says DuBois. "I love returning to his work. He writes with a muscular spare lyricism and creates deep, meaty roles for actors. This play is propelled by magnetic characters, and takes place at the holidays where the quirkiest dynamics of everyone's family come out at full tilt. Bob imbues this darkly comic domestic drama with a soul-stirring poignancy."THE CAST
The cast of Vengeance is the Lord's includes:
· Larry Pine (Carol Mulroney at the Huntington; Angels in America and The Royal Family on Broadway) as Mathew, the patriarch of the Horvath family;

"Few playwrights are better at conveying the day-to-day rhythms of the lives of deeply flawed characters. And it couldn't feel more authentic." - New York Post"Bob Glaudini has an incredible ear for dialogue and a good sense of how modern people interact with one another." - East Bay Express ABOUT THE HUNTINGTON
The Huntington Theatre Company, in residence at Boston University, is Boston's largest professional theatre company. Under the direction of Artistic Director Peter DuBois and Managing Director Michael Maso, the Huntington creates seven new productions each season featuring world-class theatre artists from Boston and Broadway and the most promising new talent. The Huntington has transferred over a dozen of these productions to Broadway, including recent favorites Noël Coward's Present Laughter and Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps. The Huntington also runs nationally renowned programs in education and new play development, and serves the local theatre community through its operation of the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts, which the Huntington built in 2004.The Calderwood Pavilion, which includes the 370-seat Wimberly Theatre and the 200-seat Roberts Studio Theatre, houses most of the Huntington's new works activities and complements its 890-seat, Broadway-style main stage, the Boston University Theatre. The Huntington provides the first-class facilities and audience services of the Calderwood Pavilion to dozens of organizations each year, including some of Boston's most exciting small and mid-sized theatre companies, at significantly subsidized rates. As a national leader in the development of new plays, the Huntington has produced more than 50 New England, American, or world premieres to date, with two world premieres scheduled for the 2010-11 Season.
