Los Angeles Ballet Soars into Fifth Season with Sparkling "Nutcracker"
It is all but impossible to conceive of an American holiday season devoid of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet. The ubiquitous melodies – blaring in various versions from mall loudspeakers, underscoring TV commercials, accompanying passengers in random office-building elevators throughout the country – are as well-known and popular as "White Christmas" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" at this time of year. Yet the ballet was virtually unknown in America until George Balanchine mounted an original production of The Nutcracker for New York City Ballet back in 1954, in an effort to entice a new audience for dance.
Los Angeles Ballet debuted to critical acclaim and audience delight in 2006, with an original staging of The Nutcracker by Artistic Directors Thordal Christensen and Colleen Neary. Considering that the US financial collapse and recession have felled other worthy arts organizations during the years since, the ascendance of a classical ballet company in dance-ingenuous LA is nothing short of miraculous. The LAB audience numbers have increased year after year, with the attendant growth in ticket sales income. Against all odds, this month Los Angeles Ballet offered their sumptuous holiday treat of a Nutcracker to open a landmark fifth season.
This year as always, LAB presented the production in three different locations around LA County: Glendale's Alex Theatre, UCLA's Royce Hall, and the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. Because of the crushing schedule of 9 shows in two weeks, nearly all principal and featured roles were double- and triple-cast. I attended performances in all three venues, which meant I was able to witness the excellent contributions of all solo artists. I must say that, for all the glamour and virtuosity of these soloists, the LAB ensemble dancing is where much of the real magic resides.
Over the past few years, I've worn out my thesaurus with attempting to adequately praise the extraordinary LAB women's corps de ballet. Their gorgeous Dance of the Snowflakes at the end of Act I is about as good as it gets, anywhere. The 12 dancers fill the stage with such synchronous perfection that time absolutely seems to stand still. It's spectacular and moves me to tears. PS – I wasn't the only spectator surreptitiously dabbing at my eyes at intermission.
The opulence of the costumes by designer Mikael Melbye got the audience's attention from the get-go. Murmurs of appreciation greeted the 1912-era formal velvets, furs, magnificent hats and coats adorning onstage guests at the Christmas Eve shebang. The seamlessly high caliber of the dancing to come was presaged in a scintillating "Upstairs, Downstairs" tidbit, featuring two amorous maids with two tipsy butlers. Suddenly, the wizardly Drosselmeyer, played by the charismatic Jonathan Sharp, magically appeared with a trunk full of life-sized mechanical dolls. As these dolls began to move, I found myself hyperventilating with hyperbole.
Returning guest artist Sergey Kheylik remains a crowd favorite year after year, his leaps defying gravity in his role of the Russian doll. Katrina Gould radiated charm in a reprise as the Columbine doll, opposite a witty and stylish Tyler Burkett as Harlequin. In other performances, Columbine and Harlequin were danced by newcomers Isabel Vondermuhll, and Aaron Bahadursingh.
Radiant thirteen-year-old Helena Thordal-Christensen danced Clara with purity of line and professional poise, having first come to the role in last year's production. Already an accomplished actress, she has added depth and nuance to her characterization of a young girl in the first flush of infatuation. New to the role, Mia Katz showed off clean technique, and a fresh and spunky personality. The Nutcracker/Prince was capably danced by Jordan Veit of Pacific Northwest Ballet School's Professional Division.
Most of the children I interviewed after the show cited the Mouse Battle as the most memorable part of the show. Standouts as the Mouse King were Craig Hall and Christopher Revels, both of whom admirably negotiated the comic elements of the role along with the fierce leaps.
The sublime Monica Pelfrey returned as Marie (Sugarplum Fairy) in the Act II Grand Pas de Deux. Her partner was Zheng Hua Li, imported from China a couple of seasons ago. Li is that most rare of male dancers – the perfect danseur noble. He is tall and elegant, handsome, wonderfully expressive. His dancing displays great beauty of line, musicality and phrasing; his heroic leaps and turns take my breath away. His sheer physical strength and stamina in the lifts and attentive partnering drew cheers from the balletomanes in attendance.
Alternating with Pelfrey as Marie was LAB debut artist Allyssa Bross. Her sparkling personality ingratiated her with the audience no less than her proficiency in the rigors of the choreography. Partnering her, Christopher Revels tears up the stage in a circuit of jumps and turns in which his academic clarity and fullness become charged with a sense of reckless rapture. Christopher revels, indeed. His perfect execution of multiple double cabrioles is seared into my mind's eye.
Among other highlights was the Waltz of the Flowers by the aforementioned women's corps de ballet, featuring a shimmering and delicate Grace McLoughlin in her first performances as the Rose. A break-out artist last season in Balanchine's Kammermusik and in New Wave LA, McLoughlin continues to develop under the inspired guidance of Neary and Christensen. Also dancing the Rose is newcomer Molly Flippen. Both women exhibit lovely extensions and ports des bras, and both dazzle the crowd in a fiendish series of pirouettes and fouettees.
Sergey Kheylik returns in Act II, impossibly airborne in the Russian Trepak. Alternating as his two accomplices in this acrobatic romp were, variously, Tyler Burkett, Aaron Bahadursingh, Craig Hall, Alexandre Scupinari, and Christopher Revels.
Lovely Julia Cinquemani performed a spellbinding Arabian Dance, all liquid extensions and molten sensuality. Sidelined by an injury for a week, Korean ballerina Stephanie Kim made her company debut in the same dance, late in the run. She was magical, sinuous, electrifying throughout the extended pas de deux. Both dancers are partnered with strength and beauty by a majestic Alexander Castillo.
Throughout the production, the entertainment level doesn't flag for a moment. It's safe to say that Los Angeles finally is home to the world-class ballet company for which residents have waited for decades.

I did some research but didn't find an answer to it.
The asterisk seems to be a common symbol on the web for marking input or user interaction as required. Most likely it has it's origins in print where the asterisk is common to refer to a footnote and this pattern is transferred to the web as the explanation text like '* = required' is very often at the end of a form.
My question is: Is the asterisk (*) the common symbol for all languages on the web? If not, in which languages is it different?

Youth vs. Veteran
This is one of those "good news", "bad news" scenarios: the Baron's Corner will appear daily for the rest of the Phillies' 2006 season. Hopefully, that journey will carry to Halloween.
Behind the scenes will be the theme. Intent is to post before the game starts.
When the sun rose this Sunday morning, the Phillies were a half-game ahead of the Dodgers in the NL Wild Card race.
Today is Fan Appreciation Day in which the Phillies salute their passionate fans with between-the-innings prizes and surprizes. It has been a Phillies tradition since 1971, the first year of the Vet.
But, the "big news" is game three of this three-game weekend series against the Marlins, who handled the Phillies en route to the post-game in past years. A Phillies sweep is going to be tough with the Marlins running Scott Olsen to the mound. He's a tough lefty even though he is only 22 years of age.
Charlie Manuel's lineup:
Jimmy Rollins, ss
Shane Victorino, cf
Chase Utley, 2b
Ryan Howard, 1b
Jeff Conine, rf
Pat Burrell, lf
Chris Coste, c
Abraham Nunez, 3b
Jamie Moyer, p
Both Moyer and Conine are veterans who have been in pressure games during their careers. GM Pat Gillick brought them here to help this young team in such situations. The 43-year-old Moyer gives the Phillies a lot of stability and experience to the staff.
Last regular-season home game is tomorrow night, 7:05 against the Astros, who have to fly to Philadelphia following their 8 p.m. (EDT) ESPN Sunday Night telecast in Houston.

c.2012 Tampa Bay Times@
TAMPA Whoops.
Four days after the Tampa Port Authority sent out a news release announcing that German cruise line AIDA would make Tampa its newest home port and offer winter cruises for the next two seasons, the authority sent out a head-scratching correction:
Tampa will be a port of call for AIDA Cruises not a home port.
That means the cruises will only stop in Tampa for the day, not originate from the port.
"We made a mistake," said port spokesman Andy Fobes.
Port officials said they did not misunderstand the original deal with AIDA. They just got the news release announcing the deal wrong. Fobes said it was akin to a "typo."
The news release was looked at by port staff but no one caught the error, officials said. Then it was sent on to AIDA Cruises, which also approved the news release that was sent out Friday.
"Basically, I think it got lost in translation with AIDA, which is a German company," said Edward Miyagishima, who is also a port spokesman.
The mistake was recognized Monday. But a corrected news release was not sent out until Tuesday, port officials said, because they had to wait for AIDA to weigh in.
Port officials said that the Tampa Bay area will still benefit economically from the passengers that AIDA will bring here. They also expect that Tampa could still surpass 1 million cruise ship passengers in the 2015 fiscal year. The record is 974,259, set in fiscal 2012.
"They're still going to be visiting the Florida Aquarium, still visiting Busch Gardens, still visiting the beaches," Miyagishima said.

DENVER — Tim Tebow led the Denver Broncos to another comeback victory, with Matt Prater's 51-yard field goal with 8:34 left in overtime giving the Denver Broncos a 13-10 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Prater's 59-yarder with 2 seconds left in regulation tied the score.
It was Denver's sixth straight win, and half of them have come in OT since Tebow was promoted to starter.
After failing to score on their first 11 possessions, the Broncos (8-5) erased a 10-0 deficit in the final 2:08 of regulation.
Tebow hit Demaryius Thomas with a 10-yard touchdown pass, then got the ball back with 58 seconds left and drove Denver downfield for Prater's kick.
The Bears (7-6) won the toss in overtime and were in field goal range when Marion Barber coughed up the football at the Broncos 34 and Elvis Dumervil recovered.

The best way of describing Liz Green's debut record is to imagine excusing yourself from a few Friday night drinks in town with friends, blindly groping your way to the toilet and then somehow taking a wrong turn in place and time - ending up in an eighteenth century tavern and quickly trying to reconcile your clothes, mannerisms and knowledge with a world that appears alien to you, but perfectly comfortable to them. And at the same time, managing to rather enjoy the beautiful, complicated insanity of the situation.
This album has been over four years in the chrysalis since Green first garnered attention as Glastonbury's Emerging Talent winner back in 2007. Springing from the yellowing pages of history with authenticity and bluntness, O, Devotion! is welcomingly mature and broad in scope despite its minimalist approach. See, folk was never meant to be meandering and flaccid. It was bawdy. It was lewd. Bits were cut off and bits were hidden in interesting places. No-one gave a shit what their hair looked like. And whilst Liz Green isn't the sort of singer to go around shrieking for no conceivable cause, there is something in her laidback, matter-of-fact tone and ability to subtly blend orchestration into her songs that conveys a profound gravitas, helping to guide you along her labyrinth of tales like a sturdy and roughly hewn rope of multicoloured fibres.
That certainly isn't to say that Green doesn't possess beauty in her voice – she does (just listen to the breathtaking vocals on 'Gallows' for proof of what she can charm from her tongue). But in oscillating between sweet and sour, she manages to cleverly magnify the potency of both. In many ways, what makes O, Devotion! so captivating is how simple and sparsely decorated it is: in lacking hysterical gushes, the colours can spread more evenly around the borders of the record. Her voice is a touch of Sandy Denny's bittersweet lamentation with a gritty soul and pathos more in common with Billie Holliday and Nina Simone, all topped off with a street-smart snarl and disdain that is unmistakably home-hewn. Combined with this is a delectable Waits-esque carnival of instruments and ideas that tiptoe softly through her songs to elicit brightness into the dark and continually lift the songs onto another ledge. Opener 'Hey Joe' is all echoing brass fading in and out of the foreground while Green half sings, half yelps the melody. 'Midnight Blues' hangs on a rolling, percussive double bass part while 'Displacement Song' attempts to keep upright on rolling barrels of brass. Thematically, the gorgeous 'French Singer' could be from the Twenties but the curl of irony and post-modern introspection drag the record into the modern era (this seamless blend of the old and the new is crucial in making the album so effective). Equally, you are never once allowed to sink into simple acceptance: the gentle 'Rag and Bone' suddenly and gleefully rises up into a New Orleans jazz outro and 'The Quiet' continually dodges around to avoid being pigeonholed – this is a record full of unexpected yet subtle twists. And the aforementioned closing 'Gallows' - the most traditional track on the record - manages to position itself beautifully between chilly matter-of-factness and emotive pining as the trapdoor swings open to bring the record to a solemn and poignant close.
Musically, the record is beautifully and expertly captured onto tape, Green and producer Liam Watson possessing a touch of rare intelligence and deftness in their ability to vary the pace and instrumentation of the record so that it continually sustains the interest without resorting to predictable and clichéd changes in dynamics and pace. Like the best traditions of folk music, it simply relies on the voice and the story to maintain the interest. No cheap tricks and no frills; just substance. And more importantly, a surfeit of simple yet beautifully crafted songs
Aside from the music itself, what makes O, Devotion! so sumptuously pleasurable to listen to is that it presents as the genuine voice and vision of the artist, rather than the diluted cordial so frequently splashed across the airwaves with the label of 'folk' awkwardly trimmed to fit. It is a record that gathers roots from across the centuries but stands confidently within its own era, both oddly aloof and cockily perched at the same time. A strikingly unique and bold approach to songcraft is presented here and you can only hope that enough of a commercial and critical swell builds behind Liz Green to allow her to continue making music of this rare, strange and wonderful vintage. There is an extraordinary talent present here that deserves time and space to blossom to its fullest and truest extent.

Soon after the Senate Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Investigations issued a report stating that fusion centers not only violate the constitutional rights of Americans, but are also a colossal waste of tax payer money, the committee issued a statement trashing the report.
"The ACLU warned back in 2007 that fusion centers posed grave threats to Americans' privacy and civil liberties, and that they needed clear guidelines and independent oversight," said Michael German, ACLU senior policy counsel. "This report is a good first step, and we call upon Congress to hold public hearings to investigate fusion centers and their ongoing abuses."
"I strongly disagree with the report's core assertion that 'fusion centers have been unable to meaningfully contribute to federal counterterrorism efforts,'" said senator Joe Lieberman. "This statement is not supported by the examples presented in the report and is contrary to the public record, which shows fusion centers have played a significant role in many recent terrorism cases and have helped generate hundreds of tips and leads that have led to current FBI investigations."
As Craig Monteilh and Mother Jones have revealed, the FBI's so-called terror investigations are largely a sham and most that go to court are frame-up jobs led by the agency.
In addition to Lieberman, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King, R-N.Y., who has made a cottage industry out of shrill warnings about the supposed Muslim threat, said the House will soon produce its own report.
The International Association of Chiefs of Police, National Sheriffs Association, Major Cities (Police) Chiefs Association, Major County Sheriffs Association, National Governors Association Homeland Security Advisors Council, National Narcotics Officers Coalitions Association, National Fusion Center Association, and Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies also condemned the report.
The Senate report, however, misses the point – for the government, fusion centers are not a boondoggle wasting tax payer money, they are the tip of the spear in intelligence gathering on enemies of the state. Scores of fusion centers around the country are not tracking al-Qaeda, they are tracking and monitoring Ron Paul supporters and dangerous constitutionalists.

Translated from JSS News:According to Arab media www.eltira.org , Bashar al-Assad would have been seriously wounded by gunfire last night Saturday, March 23 by his bodyguard but Iran is not dead. He is currently hospitalized, between life and death, Shami Hospital in Damascus which the streets were closedLast year one of Assad's bodyguards blew himself up in a suicide blast in Damascus.

Is Assad dead?
I certainly hope so. Having been through this movie before, please forgive me if I'm a bit more cautious this time.

August 18, 2012 Bashar al-Assad is alive as deaths in Syria reach 25,000
When he gave his first TV interview after the Damascus explosion on August 28 [Assad: "Syria doesn't need a green light!"] , and the interviewer suggested to Assad:
The president should appear everyday on TV so we don't hear rumors, where are you now Mr. president? [00:53]I felt like he was giving those of us who had our hopes up then a hard time.
So remembering what a sneaky bastard Bashar is, I'm not ready to get my hopes up quite yet.
But I am quite sure that we will have satisfaction sooner or later.
More, later...

{copycat} Apple Pie larabar
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
We are on candy overload
and the holiday season hasn't even officially begun.
I was planning a mini-cleanse
just to get me ready for the feast that spans
from Thanksgiving
through New Years.
However, I noticed that Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
is celebrating with 2 weeks of pie.
You know how I feel about pie.
How could I possibly cleanse with all that pie to look at
drool over
dream about.
Unfortunately, I don't think my yoga pants will
expand indefinitely
so I need to keep my consumption in check.
I still want pie though.
and then I remembered
larabar apple pie bars were really good
almost as good as eating pie
and they're healthy
and… I know how to make them
I've already made the brownie bar.
Now, I know for a fact that pie is in my future,
but these will hold me over for a bit.
apple pie larabars:
1 1/2 cup of raw slivered almonds
1 1/2 cup of pitted dates
1 small cored/peeled apple
1 tsp apple pie spice
in a food processor
pulse the almonds until you have almond meal
next add in the dates
pulse a few times
add in the apple
the mixture will be very thick
pulse until everything is well combined
add in the spice and pulse a few more times
form into a square and wrap in plastic
chill until firm
{these will not be as hard as the brownie bars – because of the liquid from the apple}
if you want a drier bar – use dried apple bits instead
makes about 10 bars

Everything Old Is New Again
After 23 years as a reporter--not to mention 19 years of marriage--I've learned to resist the impulse to shout "You're wrong!" when somebody who's smarter than I am says something that strikes me as, well, wrong. If I take the time to listen, I'll usually uncover some meaning that I missed the first time.
This hard-won restraint was tested when I heard Alan Boehme, the former CIO of Juniper Networks and GE Power Systems, say that the hype surrounding Web 2.0 applications obscures the fact that there isn't much new going on there. I've heard tech people say similar stuff before, and it always drives me nuts.
That's because I've talked to a lot of business users who think Web 2.0 is a pretty big deal. These individuals include the participants on a panel I moderated shortly before Boehme's remarks, at the same event.
Plus, I've seen the power of the tools firsthand. So when Boehme uttered those fateful words, I wanted to grab a microphone and say, "Fie upon you, sirrah." (I often swear in Elizabethan.)
Instead, I followed up with him in the coffee line outside the conference hall, and later by e-mail and phone. During our discussions, I made the unsurprising discovery that Boehme, now an advisor to high-tech startups in Half Moon Bay, Calif., had a point--and the point is meant to liberate CIOs as they think about Web 2.0, not turn them against it.
"I'm very much a promoter and an advocate of it," Boehme said. What he contends is that the idea of reusable services is not new, and neither are collaboration and communities on the Internet. Boehme believes these facts should empower CIOs as they adapt Web 2.0 technologies for the businesses they support.
I pressed Boehme on the changes wrought by new, lightweight apps, using the analogy of cell phones to make my case. The first mobile phones were the size of a brick, and they were tethered to a car and cost a lot to use, while mobile phones today are compact, versatile, portable and ubiquitous. The first generation of phones represented a revolution in technology; the current generation represents a revolution in usage, and that matters a lot.
That's true, Boehme agreed. "If you talk usage, we're on common ground," he said. But he added that the CIO has to think along the long arc represented by those early phones, and to understand new applications in terms of familiar things like databases, search and security. All that makes Web 2.0 less challenging to accept, and that frees the CIO to think about what users can actually do with these applications.
I sometimes run into a similar perception gap when I talk about cloud computing: People say it's just the old mainframe service bureaus in a new package. And again, they're right at a certain level, even though the usage models are radically different. The similarities should empower CIOs to focus on the challenges and opportunities of the new wave.
The gap between technology and culture can yawn pretty wide. When people start talking past each other, it pays to slow down and figure out how both sides can come together to make businesses run better.

An epitaphios (also called the Epitaphios Thrinos or epitaphion, in Russian plaschanitsa, in English The Winding Sheet) is a large cloth icon used during the services of Great Friday in a commemoration of the death of Christ on the cross.
In this icon, Christ has been removed (or unnailed) from the cross and his body is being prepared for burial. Shown around the body, and mourning his death, are his mother, the Theotokos and Virgin Mary; John the beloved disciple; Joseph of Arimathea; and Mary Magdalene. Nicodemus and others may also be displayed. Sometimes, the body of Christ appears alone, as if in state.
Also, usually inscribed on the icon are the words of the troparion, "The Noble Joseph, taking down Thy most pure Body from the Tree, did wrap it in clean linen with sweet spices, and he laid it in a new tomb."
Enkomia (praise-songs) and threnoi (laments) are usually sung before the epitaphios. These epitaphios thrinos or lamentations are why the service is often referred to as the Lamentations service.

Kayne to the rescue?
Unsatisfied with the results of Tuesday's presidential election, Kanye West fans are hoping the rapper makes good on his claim that he'll run for the presidency in 2020.
Laugh if you will. But could you have predicted us here today?
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
West gave a speech at the VMA's in 2015, where he declared he would make declare a run for the White House.
"It's about ideas bro, new ideas. People with ideas, people who believe in truth," he said. "And yes, as you could have guessed by this moment, I have decided, in 2020, to run for president."
Following Tuesday's results, several fans voiced their support for West on Twitter.
Some believe Trump's stunning upset victory with no prior political experience actually makes West's bid for the White House more credible.
While West has yet to issue any type of reaction to the presidential race, his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, expressed hope on Twitter.
His sister-in-law, Khloe Kardashian, voiced support for Clinton on Twitter Tuesday night, while Kendall Jenner retweeted a quote from Clinton's concession speech.

What ports need to be opened for all Plesk Services to work with a firewall?
Note: On OSes with enabled firewalld (CentOS/RHEL/CL 7, Debian 8/9, Ubuntu 16) all the required ports are opened automatically on Plesk Onyx 17.8 right after installation.
Generally, the ports that need to be opened depend on the services running on a server.
General Plesk access port is 8443 for https connection and 8880 for HTTP connection.
The possible ports that can be used by Plesk and its related services are listed below:
CONFIG_TEXT: #20 ftp-data (TCP)
#21 ftp (TCP)
#22 ssh (TCP)
#25 smtp (TCP)
#53 dns (TCP and UDP)

Two developments this past week signal that Wal-Mart is getting more serious about the online world, and could very well have Amazon.com in its crosshairs. On Saturday, Wal-Mart began testing a new home grocery delivery service in San Jose, California called Walmart to Go.
As many Seattleites already know, Amazon.com has been developing its own version of home grocery delivery in Seattle since 2007 called Amazon Fresh. At this point, Amazon has contained the trial to Seattle as it works out the many logistical kinks associated with the business. (traffic patterns, delivery windows, etc.)
However, with Walmart dipping its toes into the market, could we see Amazon Fresh trucks start to roll in other markets?
It is certainly a possibility, though home grocery delivery is a complicated and tough business as players such as HomeGrocer.com and Webvan have already discovered. Stay tuned.
The Walmart to Go launch comes amid a deeper push by the Arkansas retailer into the online world.
Last week, the company purchased Kosmix, a social and mobile commerce startup led by Venky Harinarayan and Anand Rajaraman. Those names should be recognized around these parts. They sold their previous company, Junglee, to Amazon.com 1998.
As part of the acquisition, the former Amazon.com employees have been charged with helping to lead Wal-Mart's newly-formed Silicon Valley research operation, @WalmartLabs. The company offers this explanation of the new entity:
Walmart plans to expand the @WalmartLabs team and expects this new group will create technologies and businesses around social and mobile commerce that will support Walmart's global multi-channel strategy, which integrates the shopping experience between bricks and mortar stores and e-commerce.
Wal-Mart and Amazon.com have not always been the best of friends. In 1998, Wal-Mart sued its Seattle rival for allegedly violating trade secrets through the hiring of several key Wal-Mart employees.
The latest chapter in the rivalry will be interesting to watch, especially as Wal-Mart looks to take advantage of its physical retail presence and marketing power in 15 countries.

The Forex world is constantly evolving and during its weekly trading hours there is a wealth of news a trader must keep on top of if they want to make the most money possible. Indeed, because the market can be affected by a number of dynamics, it is essential they know exactly what's happening at all times in order to avoid any unprofitable deals.
For example, let's assume the US Dollar is trading well against the Great British Pound during the first half of the week. This would be a good time to invest some money and reap the benefits of a positive market condition. However, by Wednesday a series of negative news stories emerge from the UK and affect the country's economic performance. These dynamics then adversely affects how well the two currencies are trading. At this point it's important to know what's just happened because it will influence whether or not someone should cease trading this currency pair for a while or continue.
Knowing the value of each currency based on various internal and external factors is crucial and the reason why FXBrokerSearch.com's Forex news centre is a vital resource. Drawing on a number of resources, our information section provides the latest information and data from which users can refine their trading activity.
Beyond shifts in the currency market itself, FXBrokerSearch.com's new section has been designed to give traders an insight into the best offers and promotions. By monitoring each of our 200+ Forex brokers we're able to quickly tell users about the latest updates and bonuses.
By compiling all this current data into one portal we believe investors will be able to make even more money in the Forex market. Indeed, thanks to our dedicated team of analysts and experts, users can find out the latest market developments as well as the best deals in the industry. Putting all this together should help everyone gain a better understanding of the market, which in turn should give them the ability to make even more money.

text: Agreed but specifically to what the OP asked, if I had to guess at a weight for a label on a pint jar, it would probably have to be 23ozs. I just don't think it's feasible to get 24 ozs. Into a standard pint jar. Probably be best for LT to experiment with his specific jars and honey.

Costume World owner Marilynn Wick
There was never any doubt in Marilynn Wick's mind that the show must go on, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons why she bought the Caldwell Theatre this spring, a deal that had been in the works for a year. Wick, owner of Costume World and the Costume World Broadway Collection, the world's largest collection of costumes from the American theater, has always been fearless when it comes to new "adventures." The Caldwell, which will be known as the Wick Theatre and Museum, is just the latest in a lifetime of calculated gambles.
A small-town farm girl who grew up in Sugar Grove, Pa., Wick and her two young daughters moved to Boca Raton in 1972 to be near her ex-husband and the girls' father. Back then, she had dabbled in teaching and real estate, but ended up starting a window-cleaning company specializing in high-rise buildings, which were just then starting to sprout all over the region. The venture was a huge success, but it paled in comparison to what Santa Claus would bring a few years later.
"It was the winter of 1976, and the kids wanted to do something for the holidays to earn a little pocket money," she recalls. They decided to make a Santa Claus suit (on the kitchen table) and posted a one-line ad in the local paper offering it for rent.
"The phone rang off the wall," Wick says. "I instantly saw the need for it. I went to visit the only guy in the business; [he] worked out of his house in Fort Lauderdale. I kept thinking, 'Look at all the occasions we could have,' and then I started thinking maybe I should start a little store—a costume store—and put a little line in the Yellow Pages."
That's how Costume World, now in Deerfield Beach at Federal Highway and 10th Avenue, got its start. There are stores now in Pittsburgh, Dallas and Austin, Texas. It's a business that Wick found fascinating from the start.
"No one ever comes into a costume shop mad," she says. "No one comes to Costume World unless they have a special occasion. Every day there is something you have never thought of before—somebody wants to be Paul Revere, or somebody comes in and says, 'I'm a detective and I have to change my disguise.' Or 'I'm a burn patient and need that special theatrical makeup to cover this up.' Every year we do about five knights in shining armor because somebody is going to propose—and that's how they are going to do it."
Wick is not immune to the lure of dressing up; she's been known to show up at cocktail parties dressed as a flapper, or on a first-class flight to Buffalo as the Easter bunny. She once spent a night out on the town in Pittsburgh with her store employees in a cozy Smurf costume because she had left her winter coat at home.
Still, it's the Broadway Collection that seems dearest to Wick's heart—and the inspiration for her buying the Caldwell. The collection is now housed in a nondescript office park in Pompano Beach, nondescript until you walk in the door.
The Broadway Collection begins with a red-carpeted lobby flanked by costumed mannequins and Broadway memorabilia. "Hello, Dolly!" is blasting out of hidden speakers; massive double doors loom ahead, to be opened only when it is time. And Marilynn Wick will tell you when it is time.
At exactly 11 a.m., a lavishly costumed young woman flings open the doors for a tour (which includes lunch) of a massive warehouse festooned with theatrical backdrops and jammed with thousands of costumes arranged by the Broadway plays they were made for. "The King and I" is displayed in a tableau with a mannequin in Yul Brynner's glittering pajamas, Gertrude Lawrence's voluminous ball gown sailing next to him. A little farther back, mannequins in black and white from the Ascot scene of the original production of "My Fair Lady" stand at attention. And it goes on: Dick Tracy's yellow trench coat, "The Sound of Music," "Into the Woods," "42nd Street," "Camelot." You name it—the dazzling history of Broadway theater is here, and it will be moved to the Wick Theatre this fall.
Kim Wick, one of Marilynn's daughters, who is vice president of the company and director of the museum, says the new space will involve "cosmetic changes" and renovation to the theater and two lobbies, but then there is a serious overhaul.
"We will have a full kitchen so we will do tapas and cappuccinos and desserts," Kim says. "And the back, which is almost 10,000 square feet, will be the new home of the Broadway Collection," with a backstage/insider tour-like feel, including a Tavern on the Green luncheon with artifacts from the original Tavern that Costume World bought at auction in 2010.
Wick knows she's taken on something big in buying the Caldwell. But it's a dream she believes in, and the culmination of 40-some years on the periphery of Broadway. "I am kind of fearless," she says. "I think you can talk yourself out of anything. To me, [buying the theater] is taking a bad deal and making it good. We are walking in and giving that theater life."

After the successful debut of the full distance race in 2014, Sunbelt Bakery IRONMAN 70.3 Chattanooga offers the perfect training opportunity for those getting ready for the September race, or a chance to race in one of the sport's most welcoming race sites for those seeking a half-distance race opportunity.

Level 3 facing shareholder pressure
The largest shareholder of Level 3 Communications says it is disappointed by the Broomfield-based company's financial performance and indicated in a report to shareholders that it may seek change.
"We are unhappy with Level 3's operating results and stock price," top executives at Southeastern Asset Management wrote in a report filed Friday with the SEC. "You can assume that we are neither oblivious nor idle."
Southeastern, headed by Mason Hawkins, holds 29 percent of Level 3's common shares. Level 3, which operates a fiber-optic communications network, received a delisting warning this month from Nasdaq after its shares traded for less than $1 for 30 straight days.
Hawkins' remarks were first reported by Bloomberg News. The letter was addressed to shareholders of Southeastern's Longleaf Partners Funds.
Hawkins and Southeastern president Staley Cates added that Level 3 has been slow to add new customers:
Level 3 has irreplaceable fiber assets, and demand for bandwidth is growing rapidly with the increasing movement of data and video across multiple platforms. The company's pace for adding new direct customers has been disappointing. The contribution margin from increasing top line growth is substantial. Translating obvious demand into strong organic revenue growth in the near term will determine success.
Level 3 disclosed about two weeks ago that it secured a contract with movie-rental firm Netflix, and its shares have closed above $1 since that announcement.
Level 3 indicated in May that it may resume acquisitions, and analysts had speculated that a merger with Global Crossing would make the most sense. But a deal, which would have had to include a stock swap given Level 3's massive debt load, apparently couldn't be hammered out.

But before we headed out for our delicious dinner, we stopped at Dutch's Wine Bar in East Hyde Park.
It's been there for quite a while as a place to purchase beer/wine but recently added on to include a wine bar and patio!
After Dutch's, we made the short trip over to Hugo in Oakley. I went to Hugo's once for Restaurant Week a few years ago but haven't been back - so I was very excited.
Sweet Corn, Mascarpone, Thyme, Chili Jam $8). Larry couldn't eat them because they did have eggs - but the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed them. I wasn't a big fan of the jam but they were very tasty with the butter. They had a nice sugar coating on the outside as well. They're definitely not what I was expecting - almost like a donut texture.
Confit Tomato, Buttermilk, Crab $9 - prices listed are regular menu price - not what we paid or portion size for Restaurant Week). I have often heard about these but never tried them.
New Potato, Local Greens, Goat Cheese, Bacon, Caramelized Onions, Smoked Pommery Vinaigrette $8) - great minds were thinking alike - for the Second Course. This is a very interesting salad - there was hardly any goat cheese (boo!) and the potatoes were an interesting ingredient. But all in all - I did like it.
Larry finally bucked the trend and got something different! For the Third Course he chose the fresh fish ($25) and it was salmon. He definitely enjoyed it - I'm guessing the portion size is a bit smaller than a regular menu portion - but with the bread & 3 courses - he was full enough.
I also want to add - our server was fantastic. We mentioned Larry's egg allergy and he immediately went back and checked with the Chef. He came back and let us know that 99% of the Restaurant Week menu was egg-free! His excellent service was definitely appreciated.
Why Should You Go? Hugo was a really great experience. It's a very cozy and pretty restaurant on the inside. It has a warmth about it in the ambiance and the food. I loved it and would definitely go back for a special occasion.

Meet Harlean. Not your typical script font, she's quirky, brazen and a bit irreverent. Always speaking her mind, she tells it like it is and leaves no question about where she stands. You won't be able to forget Harlean. The rough cut, unusual letterforms defy the rules of a well-behaved script font as they scratch across the page, leaving a lasting impression. Harlean was rendered with a flexible nib pen that speaks in a different voice than her fellow script fonts. If your next project calls for a striking and unique look and feel, give Harlean a shout.
Harlean is technically savvy and makes use of OpenType features. Contextual alternates automatically substitute in the ideal letterforms and keep the design looking fresh. 398 swashes and alternate forms make this font fun to experiment with. Don't forget about the 20 ornaments either! Who doesn't love the added flair of an underline, border or corner element?
Don't have access to Open Type features and the "extras" in this and other fonts, or have Illustrator or InDesign on your shelf? I recommend PopChar. It's only about $30, is both Mac and Windows-compatible and a breeze to use. Find it at http://www.ergonis.com/products/

National Mining Museum and Hall of Fame
Now open Friday nights until 8 p.m.!
What would it be like to work in a mine, blasting rock in narrow passageways deep underground? You can imagine it at the National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum. Tour replicas of caves and mines, check out the masks past miners wore to breathe and the carbide lamps that lit their way, and see photos of the people who've run American mines for decades.
Fun for Kids
Children love the dioramas of miners hacking at hillsides, the life-size miner and burro in a walk-through coal mine, and the fluorescent rocks dug from the earth. A model train layout showing how railroads moved ore is fun for kids of all ages.
Gems and Gold
Then explore what mining produces, from gems and precious metals like gold to the minerals you use in everyday life. A special exhibit on molybdenum, still mined at the Climax mine just north of town on Highway 91 at Fremont Pass, shows you how this mineral is used to strengthen steel in cars and everyday household items.
Known as the "Smithsonian of the Rockies," the nonprofit National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum is a monument to the memory of the men and women who pioneered the discovery, development, and processing of our nation's natural resources. Through three levels of exhibits, you will be immersed in the story of mining.
- Nov. 1-April 30, open Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Friday nights until 8 p.m.
- May 1-Oct. 31, open daily, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day
- Last ticket is sold at 4:15 p.m.
- We suggest a minimum of two hours to explore our 25,000 square feet of exhibits!
See more on hours and admission prices.

Sesame! was the Filipino co-production of Sesame Street. It was broadcast in the Philippines, in the Tagalog language, for one season in 1983.
The local Muppets were Pong Pagong, a giant turtle and Kiko Matsing, a monkey.
Each show required scripts for ten segments of varying duration – from fifteen seconds to three minutes – with at least three segments written for the two Muppets and six adult characters who lived on a Sesame-like street. The other seven segments were written for other formats, such as light-action film, limbo and animation. The ten scripts per show were each pre-assigned a specific "goal" by the research team so that in every show, the whole person of the child was addressed—the physical, the intellectual, the emotional, the social, and the child's relationship to home, neighborhood, and environment.
The show proved to be unpopular. Barely a year and a half after Sesame! went on the air, lack of finances on the part of the Philippine government which was shelling out half the budget on a 50/50 arrangement with Children's Television Workshop, caused its closure.
The Philippine Children's Television Foundation, Inc., formed by the same Filipino production team that worked on Sesame!, produced a more successful follow-up, Batibot, without the cooperation of the Children's Television Workshop. The program went on to win several awards, including the Prix Jeunesse in Germany. Batibot in Filipino means "small, but strong and robust".
As Sesame!, the program used both English and Filipino as the media of communication, but after evolving into Batibot, the show became a completely Filipino language children's educational show. Kiko and Pong crossed over to the new show, but were eventually written off due to licensing issues with former partner CTW. During this time, the Philippine production team launched a PR campaign for Ten Million Signatures for Pong to be allowed to stay on Batibot.

Picker Sisters
Have y'all been watching Picker Sisters? I first saw the previews for the show while watching an American Pickers marathon and I was a bit dubious about a show trying to be too much like American Pickers but just switching out Frank and Mike with two girls in short-shorts. Theses gals better know what they're doin', I thought. So far I've been pleasantly surprised. Although at times I want to yell at them to just get in there and get their hands dirty, their genuine friendship and love of all things rusty come through in a way that makes them endearing. And instead of just rescuing old junk they are finding ways to repurpose each piece; an old gate becomes a headboard, pieces of farm equipment become a light fixture, a meat saw becomes a bathroom vanity. No, I didn't make that last one up. It's making me look at things in a new perspective when it comes to decorating my own home.

I was definitely doubting this show but it sounds like I'll have to give a try. I always get that way when I find something I really like and see someone else trying to "copy." haha Thanks for sharing!

I personally find the show scripted and irritating. It's like watching two overly made up teenagers romp around in a mall. I understand the redecorating and repurposing theme of the show, but the stories of the individual collectors and history of the items that a show like American Pickers has gets lost in this new show. The women seem disingenuous and a little too into themselves. I couldn't watch beyond the first episode, unfortunately.

Too bad, I don't think we get that show in Asia. Though American Pickers is here now! I guess I'm a bit of an American-in-Asia picker myself...though for fun, not professionally.

Wyoming Dude Ranches
Dude Ranches
Wyoming is truly cowboy country and there is no better way to experience that first-hand than by booking a stay at a dude ranch. Wyoming dude ranches offer an opportunity to live out the western way of live, even for just a short time. Guest ranches in Wyoming range from luxurious resorts to working ranches that are currently in operation. Many of these accommodations welcome guests year-round and offer guided horseback riding trips, adults-only getaways, and fall hunting excursions. Explore a full list of Wyoming dude ranches below.
Resort Dude Ranches
Resort ranches in Wyoming are unique in that they offer the authentic western appeal of a working ranch but they also provide you with the finer things like 5 star dining experiences, spas, and entertainment. Looking for an adults-only vacation? Some ranches are only for adults or can offer adult-only options.
At a resort ranch, spend the day horseback riding, hiking or fishing and return to the property for an evening of relaxation, decadent meals and sipping a glass of wine while taking in the Wyoming sunset slowly sinking behind the mountains.
The Paradise Guest Ranch in the Bighorn Mountains outside of Buffalo, for instance, offers luxury lodges, personal patios, an old western saloon and they even match you with your own horse for your stay. Or retreat to the Turpin Meadow Ranch in Jackson for a western getaway at the edge of Wyoming's national parks. Turpin Meadow offers accommodations and activities year-round, so no matter what season you visit, western comfort awaits.
Traditional Dude Ranches
At Wyoming's traditional dude ranches, you'll find an invigorating blend of relaxation and real-life ranching experiences. The cowboy or cowgirl in you will come alive as you experience a variety of true western activities including fishing, hiking, nightly entertainment, and kid's programs designed to reconnect children to the great outdoors.
At Allen's Diamond 4 Ranch near Lander in the Wind River Mountains, you can go on day trips by horseback or do several day pack trips in the Shoshone National Forest. Allen's Diamond 4 Ranch is a four-generation Wyoming operation managed by Jessie Allen.
Just outside of Laramie, the historic Vee Bar Guest Ranch operates as a guest ranch in the summers, offering horseback rides, cattle drives, camping, river tubing, fishing, trap shooting and more.
