Here we go, my friends. Indulge me. This is a tough one.
Back 44 years ago, in the summer of 1971, gasoline was 40 cents a gallon. Postage stamps were eight cents. Richard Nixon was President of the United States. "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night was the top selling record that year. I was an idealistic journalism student at the University of Minnesota. That's also the year I first met Nick Bockwinkel.
"The rub" is a term used in professional wrestling to describe the fame or luster a lesser talent gets by associating or working with a main eventer. 1971 is when I started getting the rub from Nick. The "Bockwinkel Brigade" was born that year.
I had published other fan newsletters before and at one time actually ran a club for The Crusher. Aspiring young "journalist" that I was, I had been away from the hobby for a few years. When Bockwinkel arrived on the AWA scene in the fall of 1970, I was enthralled with his heel persona, and the bug bit me to start publishing again. Yes, it took me eight months to get up the courage to ask him if I could run a club in his honor. I did so a week after a group of us had a sign proclaiming our reverence for Nick ripped from our hands by a Minneapolis Auditorium usher. I used that topic as the "ice breaker" when I approached Nick after the AWA TV tapings at the Calhoun Beach Hotel in Minneapolis and mentioned starting the club.
By the way, I never really referred to the Brigade as a "fan club." It was a real "Brigade," a group of several hundred, loud-mouthed smart asses who made their presence felt in arenas all over the country and at the televised AWA "All Star Wrestling" events. (The late announcer Rodger Kent noted our presence over the air waves on more than one occasion.) We were boisterous, we were obnoxious, we were notorious. We held up signs and wore home made T-shirts proclaiming our support of the "Lean, Mean, Machine," "Wicked Nick," "The Bock." Decades before it became fashionable and trendy to rally behind wrestling's "heels," we cheered for not only Nick but also Ray Stevens, Ivan Koloff, Superstar Graham and Krusher Kowalski. We were often threatened by the masses. Hell, my friends and I were literally chased out of town after a Cambridge, Minnesota "spot show" where we had cheered for Nick. One evening, I was pushed and shoved as I made my way down the hall at the Minneapolis Auditorium by babyface fans who were livid at a Bockwinkel-Stevens victory. A drunk took a swing at me as he venomously cursed Nick's very existence. (Incidentally, I told Nick about it a week later. He laughed.)
I published a sporadic bulletin (over the course of the next 18 years) which was cutting edge and before its time, complete with sarcasm and tell-it-like-it-is condemnations of the "babyfaces." The bulletin and club were two time award winners from the Wrestling Fans International Association (WFIA), thanks in no small part to Nick writing a column in its pages. I organized multiple conventions in the Twin Cities for Nick's fans, and they would come in from Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Milwaukee, Omaha, Davenport, Winnipeg, etc., just to spend maybe an hour with Nick at the TV tapings or at the arena matches. Nick would graciously take time out from cutting his promos or preparing for his matches to pose for pictures, sign autographs, answer questions, etc., with his Brigade. He fought hard not to let on, but he loved every minute of it. Did I mention Nick was the guy who, on June 12, 1971, as he gave me permission to run the Brigade, promised that he would give "no help or support of any kind," and if I wanted to operate within those parameters, then so be it. (He repeated that story to his cohorts a hundred times over the years.) He then spent the next couple decades doing just the opposite, much to our delight.
My relationship with Nick when it came to the wrestling business back then was strictly professional. I had to earn his trust. It was an era of "kayfabe," and despite the fact that generally speaking, Nick was aware of what I knew, he kept the backstage, behind-the-scenes info off limits. I didn't ask him about it, I didn't question it, I didn't discuss match outcomes or finishes with him. It was none of my business. Every now and then, if we were watching a match together from a far corner of the arena, Nick might make a comment validating an angle that was going on the ring, and "selling it." While it wasn't easy to do, I didn't bat an eye. It was called "respect."
There were a couple times Nick had to play "henchman" for the AWA office and give me a little heat. Once, after The Crusher had verbally insulted a group of young kids at the TV studios for booing him, I wrote a not-so-flattering article about Crusher for the bulletin. Nick diplomatically told me he thought the article was "a bit extended." When Billy Robinson got out of the ring and inexplicably slapped a fan on nationwide television, I documented it in print for a local newspaper I was writing for. Again, when the office expressed displeasure, Nick had to do the dirty work and explain (even though he was exasperated at Robinson's actions) the potential fallout from writing such an article.
In late 1986, my friend George Schire and I did play by play for West Four Wrestling Alliance, a small NWA affiliate promoted by Tony Condello in Winnipeg. When we came back from one of the tapings, we asked Nick to watch and critique our work, which he did one morning at George's home in St. Paul. Aside from a few "highlights" scattered here and there, much of the "action" on those tapes was pretty dismal. It was a tough sell for George and me sitting behind those microphones. But, lo and behold, when we had finished watching the tapes and Nick said, "Great job, you guys! If you can get this sh-- over, you can get anything over." It was like we had won the lottery, especially for me because I had always wanted to be a pro wrestling announcer. It was my dream from childhood. To get an endorsement like that from Nick Bockwinkel? Are you serious??? It didn't get any better than that.
In the summer of 1987, working at my full-time day job, I got a phone call from Greg Gagne. He told me that Nick had spoken highly of my work and as a result the AWA wanted to give me a tryout as ring announcer for their ESPN tapings in Las Vegas. I went to their Twin Cities studio, auditioned, got the gig, and the rest (all the announcing jobs, Saturday Night at Ringside, etc.) is history. I have absolutely no doubt that it was that "rub" I got from Nick and the word he put in for me that helped paved the way.
Mind you, even then, I wouldn't push the envelope with him about the business. I would wait for him to tell me things. When he called a month or so later the day after a WWF pay-per-view and asked me what I thought of the event, holding nothing back ... discussing angles, blood, the whole nine yards. I was blown away. We had never had a conversation like that before. But I didn't miss a beat. I gave him my opinions, he gave me his. It was like we had always been on that level of frankness.
One amusing note. A few years later, I got a huge kick out of it when WCW named him their on-screen, figurehead "Commissioner." Nick called me out of the blue one afternoon to tell me he was flying to Atlanta for TV the next day, and he hadn't been keeping up with the storylines and needed to know what he had been missing so he would at least be semi-prepared when he got down there! Talk about irony! I was smartening HIM up!
I knew this was no time to be gutless. There was no way I was going to miss the opportunity to tell him what was on my mind. He was sitting with his wonderful wife Darlene, shaking hands and accepting the well wishes of so many of his friends and fans. I waited my turn and then bent down next to him, whispering in his ear, "I love ya, Bockwinkel. You know that, don't you?" He looked up at me with that twinkle in his eye. I was conditioned after all these years to expect that Bockwinkel wit and sarcasm. Instead, he looked at me and said, "you do, huh?"
I felt a lump in my throat and said, "damn right." With that, Nick started to cry, which prompted me to do the same. I looked at him and said, "Nick, I wouldn't be here... I wouldn't have any of this... if it wasn't for you." We shook hands and I went on my way, leaving him to bask in the glow of the adoration he was receiving from everyone.
Whatever the future holds, I hope and pray that Nick will enjoy peace and contentment. To say that I can never, ever thank him enough is an understatement. I have been so very blessed and honored to be connected in some small way to such a tremendous man and true champion all these years. There will never be another like him.
Godspeed, Nicholas.

So much time is invested in perfecting the florals in a bouquet, but attention must be paid to the stems as well. Here we love the mixture of ruffle and lace secured with pearl pins. How very lovely!

Novation Circuit Synthesiser
Start with a beat
Make Circuit your sequencer, synth and sampler. Integrate with your favourite hardware, and develop and perform your productions - switching between drums, basslines and chords.
Let the beat build
A beat is just the beginning of your journey, but the possibilities are endless. Make a drum workflow entirely on Circuit, featuring a four-on-the-floor kick that calls for a sampled snare and hi-hat. The Sample Flip function makes it possible for you to create multisample drum lines on each of Circuit's four drum tracks. Then Drum Micro Steps add instant fills and stutter effects to your beats. J Dilla fans should probably board here.
Add the bassline
Pick a Nova synth patch that's doing nearly what you want and use the macro knobs to edit. Select the scale. Play a bassline – notes can be added, edited and deleted.
Make your production more fluid
Add steps and automation, and edit each step, giving the beat more feel and groove. Build on the drum samples using Components software.
Remove or bring back tracks and automation, and get a mixed output by balancing sounds and panning them in the stereo field. Choose delay and reverb, slew between the presets and apply them to parts, or kill the effects. Go crazy with effects and use the filter to create a dynamic edge and tension.
Add another synth
Audition and change an additional synth sound. Use the second six-voice polyphonic synth engine to create a chord pattern, choose an octave, and duplicate a chord to different positions in the sequence.
Change the gate length, and put really short notes and musical expression into your sequences using Fractional Gate. Then apply a side-chain to get the synth pumping.
Arrange the production
Add structure to your music by making and changing a chain of eight patterns, mixing up the chords, notes and octave to give variation. Save your creation as one of 32 sessions, and change session to get some fantastic performance arrangements.
Connect with devices
Create audio landscapes by integrating MIDI-compatible outboard processors, synchronising with other drum machines or grooveboxes, or triggering synths. Sync Circuits by using mini-jack cables to easily daisy–chain them together, or add a Circuit Mono Station to open up a world of analogue filtration and distortion.

Service Times:
at 9:00am
at 10:45am
This weekend, over 150 students and leaders will participate in Disciple Now (DNow) weekend through SVBC. DNow is always a high energy and fun weekend. Students typically stay up really late, eat lots of junk food, and get to know lots of new friends. More importantly, each year during DNow students are challenged to have a greater faith in Christ through worship services, small groups, and Bible studies.
Would you pray for us this weekend? Please pray that our primary focus this weekend is to hear from God. Many students (and leaders) come into these weekends with lots of hurt and chaos in their lives. Pray that we would be free from distractions. Pray that teenagers would have eyes that are able to see for the first time the glorious riches of Christ, and that he is worth far more than anything this world can offer. Pray that he would become greater, and we would become less.
Thank you in advance for your commitment to pray for us. Your prayers have a direct impact on students' lives being changed by the gospel of Christ. I look forward to all that God is going to do among us this weekend as we challenge students to have a Living Faith in Jesus Christ.

Advocates should be firm with their advocating. There are many reasons why advocating should occur. Yes, there appears to be injustices which need immediate attention. "To advocate is to find solutions and to fight for rights whether it involves one person or a group. Advocating is so important." By: Tanikka Paulk. can advocating become stressful? Yes, depending on what needs to be advocated, there could be individuals unwilling to cooperate with advocates.
Featured Image Credit: Pixabay Free to use Even Commercially
There are many advocates having to deal with some unruly individuals but continue to advocate. Unfortunately there are some refusing to understand how advocating works. There seems to be a disconnection and there seems to the inability to understand why advocating should occur. The injustices continue to occur and there has to be persons willing to take a stand. "My advocacy continues despite what so many are trying to prevent." (Tanikka Paulk).
I've been advocating for many years and advocating can be such a joy. There can be misunderstandings while advocating. There certainly has to be some patience because there will be some unwilling to cooperate. Some advocates will have to speak with individuals incarcerated or at risk of incarceration. There are many ways to advocate but there should be a passion for advocacy. Helping others shouldn't be stressful. Yes, there has to be effective ways to deal with the emotions so many seem to have, there seems to be lacking.
There are many great leaders continuing to be apart of the advocacy march. There are some unwilling to hide their ability to advocate and then there are some refusing to advocate at all. Yes, there is competition through advocacy, there are some advocating just to receive recognition. There's a purpose and how each person chooses to advocate is of their own choice. There should be more advocates willing to connect with the public. There should be more willing to create solutions. "Advocacy is occurring and should continue to occur no matter how difficult the journey becomes.' (Tanikka Paulk).
There are so many areas in which need advocating. Advocating for the youth needs attention. There has to be more willing to stand up for the rights of others. So many make advocating difficult for advocates. There are some unwilling to allow the "advocacy" to occur because they're afraid of what will be revealed. Some advocates could lose their cool when having to deal with disorderly People. The best thing to do is to find ways to deal with the disagreeable.
'Oh yes indeed I'm continuing to advocate that's what Tanikka Paulk is doing." (Tanikka Paulk)

Remember When Lord Lawson Brought Climate Denial to the House of Lords?Read time: 4 mins
Brendan Montague | July 2, 2015
By Brendan Montague • Thursday, July 2, 2015 - 00:01
Lord Lawson would command the admiration and gratitude of the sceptic cause when he raised the economics of climate change in the House of Lords. DeSmog UK's epic history series continues.
Lord Nigel Lawson delivered the coup de grâce in June 2005 when he persuaded his fellow peers on the economic affairs committee of the House of Lords to examine the economics of climate change.
As a committee member, Lawson persuaded the House of Lords to launch a powerful and high profile Parliamentary inquiry examining allegations that the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had based its analysis on poor statistics and economics.

When we want to show a loved one how much we care, we may try to find a gift that celebrates some aspect of their life or personality. Whether you're looking for a present for Christmas, a birthday, an anniversary, graduation, or just to show your family member how much you care about them, putting in a bit of effort can really pay off. Before you buy your next gift for a special person in your life, consider these tips and make sure that your present truly represents and communicates your feelings for your family member.
First of all, think about your family member and his or her personal interests. While it may be tempting to pick something just because you think it looks cool or appeals to you for some reason, remember that you're not the one whose opinion matters. Try practicing some empathy and see your gift from the perspective of the recipient. Think about the hobbies and interests that your family member has. You shouldn't try to get them something specific to their field, but choose something that demonstrates that you've been paying attention to their interests.
Second, make sure that you buy a gift that's of high quality and caliber, instead of settling for any old thing. You don't have to spend a fortune to get a good gift, either. Instead, use your head and do some research to find something nice for a good price. For example, if you're buying a shoulder holster for an uncle that loves guns, check out reputable online retailers like Hardcore Gun Holsters for the best deals. You may be surprised to find out how many excellent items can be found online, especially for niche interests that you may not be able to find at your local retailer.
Finally, consider giving the gift of an experience instead of a physical item. If your relative is up for an adventure, buy them tickets for an exciting trip that you can go on together. If they love sports, get them tickets to see their favorite team with you. This way, you are getting them the gift of memories that they will get and keep for a lifetime. Plus, if you join them on their adventure, you will be spending quality time with your loved one, which is the best gift of all.

What is Psychotherapy & What Can I Expect From It?
As becomes clear when searching for a therapist, there are many different types of psychotherapy: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Interpersonal Therapy; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT); Emotion Focused Therapy; Schema Therapy; Self Psychology; and many others. This can become very confusing for a new consumer of psychotherapy. However, there are some characteristics that are both crucial and common to most kinds of successful psychotherapy. Studies have shown that one of the most important variables common to effective psychological treatment is what is termed the "therapeutic alliance". This term refers to the collaborative relationship between the professional and the client where the focus is on the shared goal of helping the client to both feel and function better. Successful therapy usually involves both an increase in self-understanding as well as improved coping capacities, leaving the client with more tools to deal with problems that arise in the future as well as for resolving current issues. Understanding and insight alone are not sufficient. The goal is that the client be more effective in his or her own life, that s/he have a greater capacity to deal with current stresses as well as a higher level of resilience when future stresses arise, and that the accrued self-understanding helps the client make choices that will reduce unnecessary conflict and stress in their life as a whole.
One of the most common questions asked by new clients is "How long will this take?"--how long will I need to be in therapy? Although no therapist can always accurately predict the length of therapy, part of the answer comes from the nature of the presenting problem. If the problem is both acute and recent in onset (e.g. problems functioning after a recent loss), then it is likely that the therapy can be reasonably brief: 10 to 20 sessions. If the problems presented by the client are long-standing and are disrupting multiple arenas of the individual's life, then it is likely that the therapist may recommend a fairly long-term treatment. This is in order to address the current symptoms as well as the underlying emotional conflicts or deficits with the objective being that the person will leave therapy much more prepared to deal with the expectable disappointments and stresses of life. Whatever the case, it is perfectly reasonable to ask your therapist what is her/his estimate of the probable length of treatment for your problems.
Finally, it is important to choose a therapist wisely as this may be one of the more important relationships of your current (and perhaps future) life. Generally, I recommend that a new client speak with several therapists by phone or make a couple of initial session appointments in order to find someone who is a good match. Frequently, a person may choose a therapist solely by location or cost without more a more careful investigation as to whether the therapist's areas of expertise match the needs of the client as well as whether the therapist feels like a "match" for the person seeking help. Questions to ask a potential therapist might include the following: 1) their level of experience with the client's type of problem (e.g. are they trained to work with substance abuse?); 2) how active are they in the session: will the client be doing most of the talking or will it be more conversational in manner?; 3) does the therapist typically recommend homework or outside reading as an adjunct to the therapy sessions? 4) what is the expected frequency of sessions (weekly; twice a month, etc.)? As in choosing any professional for consultation, it is important to be a wise and active consumer, be open about any concerns, and be direct with the therapist about what kind of help you are seeking.

Excerpt from Our Ladies of the Flowers by Hans Theys
""Sometimes the photographs contain elements that seem to suggest a rapidity or improvisational quality, e.g. somebody who strokes a cat, the flying pigeons in the park or the ladyboy who seems to wipe her eyes. This peculiar quality adds a supplementary layer of ambiguity. Is the photograph staged? And if so, why? Of course, unpredictable or uncontrollable elements make a photograph come alive, but in this particular case the unpredictable elements are a means to approach real life despite the diligent set preparation, lighting and framing. If everything would be controlled, the photographs wouldn't be ambiguous: they would only depict a staged reality. Through working slowly and diligently, the photographers create a situation in which unexpected things can take place: birds can fly, a cat can pass or a person can pluck something from his or her eyelashes." - Hans Theys
In the series Lotus, Max Pinckers and Quinten De Bruyn document the world of transsexuals in Thailand. The gender crisis that the so-called ladyboys face is transformed into a visual metaphor about the identity crisis that contemporary documentary photography currently encounters, when it dares to reflect upon itself critically, and confront its paradoxes. The documentary photographer that captures reality as 'a fly on thne wall' can't deny his or her directive and manipulative role any longer. The anonymity, the seeming absence, is merely a pose. The tableaux that the photographer captures are not lies, but enfold themselves within the studio that he or she creates from reality.

Stem Cell Therapy
For many patients with debilitating knee osteoarthritis, treatment options are limited and include steroid injections, hyaluronic acid injections (viscosupplementation), physical therapy, and joint replacement surgery. Rotator cuff tendonitis is also a common problem and again, treatment is often limited to intermittent steroid injections, physical therapy and possibly surgery when conservative management fails. Steroid injections have frequently been met with either ineffectiveness, short-term pain relief and the risk of tendon atrophy and rupture. Currently, Dr. Badman offers new cutting-edge treatment options like amniotic membrane stem cell injections which can be used to as an alternative to surgery to successfully treat patients with degenerative arthritis (knee and shoulder), rotator cuff tendonitis, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and other tendon and joint disorders.
For clarification, this type of stem cell comes from the amniotic sac of donated placentas following childbirth – it is not embryotic. The amnion is removed and harvested from the placenta of prescreened and tested donors. It is then sterilely processed and undergoes further rigorous testing to assure safety and efficacy. While some people may have ethical issues with embryonic stem cell therapy, most everyone agrees that the use of amniotic stem cell therapy raises no ethical or moral questions.
How Does Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy Work?
Stem cell treatment takes advantage of the body's ability to repair itself. A stem cell is a type of cell the body uses to create new tissues and structures. Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any kind of cell that the body might need: skin, bone, blood, cartilage, etc. They also remain stable for many years and have the ability to divide and regenerate.
With amniotic stem cell therapy, Dr. Badman injects stem cells from amniotic tissue into your affected area. This has been sterilely processed and converted into a flowable injectable form. For the knee, this is placed sterilely within the joint. For the shoulder it is either placed subacromially (above the rotator cuff) for tendonitis or into the joint under ultrasound if treating osteoarthritis. These stem cells have potent anti-inflammatory properties. Amniotic tissues are also a rich source of collagen, elastin, fibronectin, mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors that can support tissue repair and regeneration. This is the tissue that protects the baby in utero during pregnancy. While similar in concept to steroid injections, stem cell therapy is thought to have a longer and greater impact. At this stage, we do not know if this will actually repair or restore damaged cartilage but preliminary data has been promising. A recent scientific paper published in January of 2014 out of University of Southern California showed a benefit in pain control and possibly in regeneration of meniscus tissue after knee arthroscopy for meniscus tears. Applications of this therapy are still being researched and implemented around the world. Ask Dr. Badman about any ongoing study you may be a candidate for.
While cortisone and other drugs only provide temporary pain relief, stem cells have the ability to restore degenerated tissue while providing pain relief. The growth factors in amniotic stem cells may replace damaged cells in your body. Additionally, stem cell injections contain hyaluronic acid, which lubricates joints and tendons, easing the pain and helping restore mobility. The hope and thought is that because of their regenerative capacity and stability, the impact and pain relief may be much longer than previously obtained with past treatments (steroid, viscosupplmentation, etc.).
Are Stem Cell Injections Safe?
Yes. Amniotic stem cell treatment has been used by ophthalmologists to aid with corneal surgery for over 20 years. It also has applications in plastic surgery assisting in burn patient healing. To date, more than 10,000 injections have been performed without a single reported adverse side effect. As with all treatment options, the biggest risk of a stem cell injection is that it does not alleviate all your pain but does afford one more option prior to surgical intervention.
- Amniotic stem cell therapy is a preferred type of stem cell therapy because the cells come from an immunoprivileged site (newborn babies). This means that patient-rejection is extremely rare.
- The use of amniotic stem cells is well researched, safe, and effective.
- All amniotic stem cell donors go through a rigorous screening process, as determined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).
What Benefits Does Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy Offer?
Amniotic stem cell therapy is very safe and effective. Learn more about several benefits this treatment has to offer:
- Amniotic stem cells contain no steroids. Instead, the injections rely on naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents, such as cytokines.
- Amniotic stem cells contain hyaluronic acid, which lubricates cartilage and promotes new cartilage growth.
- Amniotic stem cells contain growth factors, which stimulate tissue growth.
- With amniotic stem cells, there is no threat of patient rejection.
- Lastly, amniotic fluid is a highly-concentrated source of stem cells, which makes this type of stem cell injection preferable over embryonic stem cells and the patient's own stem cells (from fat or bone marrow).
Am I A Candidate for Stem Cell Therapy?
Patients suffering from any kind of joint, tendon, or ligament pain may be considered as candidates for amniotic stem cell therapy. Patients with severe degenerative osteoarthritis may not be eligible for stem cell therapy. Upon evaluation, Dr. Badman may be able to provide you with recommendations for other types of treatment options.
Does Insurance Cover Stem Cell Therapy?
Most insurance companies do not cover Amniotic Tissue injections at this time. As such, this is fee for service due at the time of treatment. Many insurance companies, however, may cover the initial consultation as well as some aspects of the treatment, such as the injection fee, radiographs, and use of ultrasound guidance if necessary during your appointment.
Dr. Badman can help review the advantages, costs, and indications for amniotic stem cell treatments to help you select which is best for you.
How Much Do Amniotic Stem Cell Injections Cost?
Amniotic Tissue Graft prices range between $1500 – $5000 depending on the site of injury and the amount of graft material required. Because of this, final prices can be determined only after an initial consultation with Dr. Badman.
Dr. Badman strives to provide this treatment as cost-effectively as possible, with costs comparing favorably with other nationally prominent specialists.

If you have multiple tabs open, it gets a little too boring with all the tabs being of same color and format. It also often becomes hard to distinguish which tab is active in just a glance.
To help Firefox users with this, there is an awesome add-on called FabTabs. FabTabs colors your tabs by fetching the color of the website open in that tab. For example, a tab with Yahoo! would be colored purple, a tab with Mashable will be colored blue and a tab with Techie-Buzz will be colored black.
FabTabs lets you adjust various settings including color strength, opacity and contrast. You can also choose to only color the active tab and use/remove a bevel like effect for the tabs. Another option is to color the horizontal line below the tabs.
Download FabTabs add-on here.
Techie-Buzz Verdict:
FabTabs is a great tool to add colors to your browsing experience. With multiple tabs open, it becomes super easy to manage them with FabTabs. I simply wish they would add the capability to use customized colors.

Opening Nights
The Town Players will close the 72nd season with an evening of short comedies by five notable contemporary playwrights.
Three directors will guide the productions: Mary Poile of Ridgefield, Ethyle Power of Newtown, and Karina Ramsey of Milford, N.Y.
The program includes "Sure Thing" by David Ives, "Barry, Betty and Bill" by husband and wife team Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna, "Miss You" by David Auburn, "Wanda's Visit" by Christopher Durang, and "I'm Herbert" by Robert Anderson. That looks like quite a sampler of talent.
The five casts will include Christopher Bird, Pam Meister and Janine Pixley of Newtown; Steve Hoose of New Milford; Sarah Farkas of Naugatuck; Patricia Reese of Bethel; and Aaron Szlinksy and John Pyron of Fairfield.
"Tales of Love" plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through Dec. 1, and Sundays Nov. 18 and 25 at 2. Tickets are $18, $15 for the matinee. Call the box office at (203) 270-9144.
"The Crucible," Arthur Miller's drama about witch hunts, opens Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Schoolhouse Theater, 3 Owens Road, off Route 22, Croton Falls, N.Y. (Exit 8 off I-684).
Miller's 1953 play, written in response to the playwright's horror at the rise of McCarthyism in the U.S. and the accompanying Red Scare, uses the Salem witchcraft trials as a dramatic allegory for those politically hysterical times.
Pamela Moller Kareman, artistic director of the theater, will direct 19 actors in this play. "We are very excited about the cast," she said. "Many have appeared in Schoolhouse productions in the past, often acting together, and the dynamics should be very special."
The principal roles of John Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth, will be played by Simon MacLean and Sarah Bennett. Sherry Stregack will have the role of the conniving accuser Abigail Williams.
Other featured parts will see Walita as the slave girl, Tituba; Keith Barber as the compromised Rev. Parris; and Sari Caine as the confused serving girl, Mary Warren.
Because of the topicality of the play and the limited seating, reservations are advised.
"The Crucible" plays Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 4, through Dec. 9. Tickets are $25 for Thursday and Friday shows, $29 for Saturday and Sunday shows. Call the box office at (914) 277-8477.
"Lucky Stiff," the first musical written by the Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty ("Ragtime"), opens Friday at 8 p.m. at the Ridgefield Theater Barn, 37 Halpin Lane, Ridgefield.
Based on the comic novel "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo," this early musical by the talented duo is a wild farce filled with sight gags, mistaken identities, and one of the principal characters dead before the show begins.
Harry Witherspoon, a nearly penniless shoe salesman, is left $6 million by an uncle he never met. There's one quirky condition in the will: To get the money Harry must take the uncle (now stiff) on a vacation to Monte Carlo. The alternative is that the money will go to a home for dogs, and Harry hates dogs.
With some of the manic humor of the film "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," the plot hinges on a variety of greedy characters after the money.
Aurora Martin of Brookfield will be the director and musical director, and Craig David Rosen of New Fairfield is the producer.
Joe Efferen of Carmel, N.Y., will be Harry, and Jose Helu of Ridgefield has the dubious honor of playing the stiff uncle.
Others in the cast include Matt Austin, and Jody and Daniel Bayer of Danbury; Cheryl Boyd, Rachel Corn and Janice Rudolph of Ridgefield; Stephen DiRocco of Wilton; Paulette Layton of New Fairfield; and Steve Yudelson of Newtown.
Myles Gansfried of South Salem, N.Y., did the set design, and Barbara Norman of Brookfield is in charge of costumes.
Accompanying musical director Martin will be Mark Campbell on bass and John Pokorny on drums. They are both from Weston.
"Lucky Stiff" plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through Dec. 15, and Sundays Nov. 25 and Dec. 2 at 2. Tickets are $24; $20 for students and those 62 and over. Call the box office at (203) 431-9850 or purchase them online at www.theaterbarn.org.
The seating is cabaret style, and the audience is invited to bring food and drink to consume before the show and during intermission. Doors open one hour before curtain.

Growing A Jungle In My New York Apartment
SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: I think my friends and strangers alike, like they come into my house
and they don't even say anything at first, it's just kind of like the jaw drop. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: Hey there. Welcome to my apartment. COMM: This is Summer – an environmentalist, model and author, who has over 500 plants in her Brooklyn apartment. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: So, when people come into the house, I like this element of feeling
like they are walking through a forest. My friends would always get like whacked in the
face with the branch, but I was like, 'That's the point, you're like walking through the forest.' COMM: Over the past six years she has amassed a staggering collection of indoor plants. INTERVIEWER: So how many different types of plants?
SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: I would say that this is a borderline obsession. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: So this is my kitchen space and I love it because I love the green
on the walls and the green plants. This is kind of a cool plant. It's called the toothache
plant and if you eat this, it's kind of like getting a shot of Novacane with a little
Sichuan pepper involved. My mom and dad named me like Summer Rayne, like a lot of people
ask me if that's my real name. My dad always jokes like, 'You could have become a porn
star or an environmentalist.' SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: And that's my couch. Just like a little, just like a little place
to kind of just come and sit and rest and relax. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: So this is the place where I kind of like work/sleep. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: This is the first plant that started it all. This is my fiddly fig.
I grew up in the country, so it was so natural for me to have like plants in my life. In
fact like, I think it's so unnatural not to have plants. In August, I converted this
from a closet to a kitchen grow garden. So I have everything from like lemon scented
geranium to broadleaf thyme, taro root, Cuban sage, bananas, have some pineapples, we have
some micro greens, this is peppercorn. That's a sweet potato, this is actually what the
little slip of the sweet potato will eventually grow into, and you can actually even see the
sweet potato starting to pop out of the soil, so that will probably be ready for picking
in about a month's time which is totally cool. COMM: Summer typically spends around $100 a month on plants and 30 minutes a day taking
care of them. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: It's hard to walk into a plant shop without wanting to buy a plant. It's tough. MADELINE SACHS: Yeah, she is in here all the time. She is always buying plants or pots or dirt. COMM: And it's not just money and time that she invests in her evergrowing collection. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: This is kind of like whacky, but I started to read one of these books and
it talked about like plants and music. And wouldn't you know that plants do have a preference
for different kinds of music? And I thought that was like pretty cool, so they prefer
Vedic chants. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: And then it goes into classical music. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: Then it goes into rock music. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: And then it goes into heavy metal. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: And then it goes into no music. So I thought like, 'Wow, super
trippy,' but then at the end of the day, like they're living breathing creatures
and, you know, what's great about them is they don't like, talk back. Now that I found
out that plants enjoy the music too then I do play it a little bit louder than before. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: I don't really talk to my plants and in that kind of way, although
sometimes. Yeah, sometimes I'll pass by and I'll like touch a leaf. There'll definitely
be like kind of loving energy. COMM: And Summer plans to carry on expanding her plant empire into the future. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: So how I'd like to carry this on in the future would probably be getting
a plot of land in a community garden, continuing gardening and inspiring others to get their
garden on. SUMMER RAYNE OAKES: I mean I think the new cat lady is the plant lady. I'm gonna be
like crazy plant lady when I get older. I'm already the crazy plant lady.

This carport extension is ready to batten and tile in Hacienda tiles Col. Bronze. This will match in with the existing residence.
Challenger Tafe - Heathcote House, Applecross, WA.
This is a total remove and replace of clay tiles for a popular Western Australian site. Not only are they a TAFE campus, but it is an extremely picturesque spot, which makes it one of the first places people think of for photography and functions. Due to this, the site has to be maintained to the highest standard, and WA Roofcoat have been on site since the first week of June 2008. We are on site to remove all tiles (on two of the buildings), and replace them with CSR WUNDERLICH French Modern tiles, in Earth colour. We will also remove and replace tin roofing sections too.
This one's in Rossmoyne, with the old fretted clay tiles being removed, and
new Wunderlich Modern French tiles, Aurora in colour going on. This was started on the 22nd September - I should have got some "before"
photos yesterday, because the boys are motoring through! Here's a view of what
was on there.
This roof has been partially re-roofed
after a storm hit the building, so part of the tin is in pretty good
condition. The rest, however, is short, old tin sheets. Our goal here
is to marry in with the existing sheeting and re-roof the rest of the
building, including valley trays, gutters, and replacing flashings
where necessary.
This is the next roof in the Monastery, needing a re-roof as
well as carpentry work. For this job, we have hired equipment – a scissor lift
and cherry picker, to access the heights required. The guys are working from
the boom, harnessed in whilst doing so. Safety, as in all jobs, is key, so we
required all guys in the boom to have appropriate qualifications to use the
equipment. To finish the roof off, the Friars have fashioned crosses for us to

After more than eight months of living in her forever home, Huny (former names Heaven / Missy) is still adjusting to her new world away from the horrid conditions of the puppy mill in which she was held captive.
From her too-small cage she could only imagine what it would be like to run and frolic as all dogs must do.
It was so sad to realize she came to us with no concept of pack mentality as a result of the living conditions she was forced to endure for her five or so years of life. Still reserved and watchful, she continues to be fearful of men looming over her and of large hands reaching toward her.
Overall however, she has made great strides in learning to be comfortable in her new home.
She is quiet, quick and eager to learn and is constantly seeking approval.
She learns commands easily and makes us hoot with laughter seeing her hopping on hind legs around the kitchen for chunks of cheese, which quickly became her favourite treat!
One look at this cuddly puddle of fluff and mere humans fall in love with her. She is gorgeous, kind, loving and generous and we just can't imagine life without our Huny in it!

"Bertoli Mitchell came to us highly recommended and lived up to that recommendation. From start to finish they managed the process expertly, discreetly and with a meticulous attention to detail."Katy Amberley, Chief Executive of the British Society for Haematology
"It is impossible to count the number of times during this process when we've said 'we're so glad to have Bertoli Mitchell beside us'. They've been tirelessly professional and calm, and always ready with the right advice. The proof is that they got us the best possible deal. I can't think of anyone in the industry with their nous, experience and cool nerve."Richard Hart, Founder of Hart Publishing
"Natalina from Bertoli Mitchell was superb. She was always calm, always considered, and her advice to the principals was consistently measured and very helpful. It was a very successful process, and Natalina's experience and insight played a key part of making it so."Nick Fuller, President of EdComs
"Bertoli Mitchell's expertise, drive and patience have been invaluable in achieving this successful outcome."Iradj Bagherzade, Founder and Chairman of I.B.Tauris on the sale to Bloomsbury
"Bertoli Mitchell's track record in and knowledge of the UK publishing industry were invaluable to us. Throughout the transaction, their commitment to a successful outcome was total. At every stage of the process, the quality of their advice – imbued with their specialist knowledge of the sector – was instrumental in ensuring such an outcome. I am truly delighted that we chose to be represented by them."David Cohen, Non-executive Chairman of Pion at the time of sale to SAGE

"This was a slick and highly professional process, where Bertoli Mitchell excelled. "Professor Alex Anstey, British Association of Dermatologists

U.S. Scene: Collegiate Nationals and Joe Martin
Two events headline U.S. racing this week as the peloton rolls toward the Amgen Tour of California. The Joe Martin Stage Race kicks off Thursday in Fayetteville, Arkansas, while the collegiates road trip to Madison, Wisconsin, for the USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships.
Joe Martin Stage Race ─ Fayetteville, Arkansas
(May 6-9)
The National Racing Calendar moves to the South this week for the Joe Martin Stage Race. Alison Powers (Vera Bradley Foundation) is back in Fayetteville to defend her 2009 overall title. Rory Sutherland (UnitedHealthcare-Maxxis) won the men's race every year 2007-2009, but won't be in Arkansas as he preps for California; his UHC director Gord Fraser, who won't be in Arkansas either, won the 2006 edition.
The race opens with a brief time trial. The effort is barely longer than a prologue, yet the route climbs 6.8-percent average gradient. Stage 2 and 3 are road races that, if the wind that is racking the state holds, will be extremely challenging. The course profiles each day include very little down time and a peloton peaking for California (or looking to prove they belong there) on the men's side should make for incredibly difficult racing.
The final day criterium is one of the most challenging in the States, with 12 corners and a new uphill finish. With a number of riders in the men's and women's pelotons going well against the clock, the four-stage race should go right down to the wire.
Joe Martin Stage Race
Stage 1 Thursday May 6: Individual Time Trial, 2.5 miles (men and women)
Stage 2 Friday May 7: Road Race, 110 miles (men)/64 miles (women)
Stage 3 Saturday May 8: Road Race, 92 miles (men)/69 miles (women)
Stage 4 Sunday May 9: Criterium, 90 minutes (men), 60 minutes (women)
USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships ─ Madison, Wisconsin
(May 7-9)
Passenger vans are pulling into Madison, Wisconsin, Thursday morning as the collegiate road nationals get underway. Collegiate nationals are usually a mish-mash of elite and pro riders qualified to take part through their conference competitions during the spring.
Powerhouses Lee's McRae and Fort Lewis College should contend for the Division I omnium title, while the Division II title is always left more up for grabs with smaller teams, though no less talent at the front of the race.
Ascending podium finishers will look for a result to forward their hopeful pro careers. The women's race will have the annual distinction of qualifying a team of collegiate powers to race as a composite squad at the Nature Valley Grand Prix in June.
Nick Frey and Jamie Driscoll both signed to Jamis-Sutter Home for 2010 after winning the road race a year ago. Carla Swart won the women's DI road race in 2009 and joined Vera Bradley Foundation this season. The Blue Mounds course, which would have been home to the Olympic road race had Chicago won their recent bid, may be home to the ascension of another crop of collegiates-turned pros.
Day 1 Friday May 7: Blue Mounds Road Race, 73 miles (DI & DII men)/59 miles (DI & DII women)
Day 2 Saturday May 8: Criterium, 60 minutes (DI & DII men)/45 minutes (DI & DII women)
Day 3 Sunday May 9: Team Time Trial

Contact HM Revenue and Customs
With an annual budget of the 4.1 billion HMRC is a non-ministerial UK government department that is liable for collecting the taxes, distributing few state benefits and administering the national minimum wage. It was formed in 2005 via unification if Her Majesty's Customs and Excise, plus the Inland Revenue.
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs collects its revenues from a number of sources:
- Income tax – A tax paid by the individuals or the companies, based on how much money they earn or profit they make.
- Corporation tax – A tax paid by companies generally, calculated on the basis to their profits.
- Capital gains tax – A tax on the profits generated through the sale of investments of property.
- Inheritance tax – A tax paid by an individual who inherits the estate, money or assets.
- Indirect tax – For instance: VAT, excise duty. These are taxes, usually collected by a retail store, and then forwarded to HMRC.
- Environmental taxes – Including the air passenger duty.
The HMRC processes a Pay As You Earn scheme (PAYE), which means that HMRC calculates your Tax bracket- and thus how much tac you pay-based on how much you earn: the more you earn the higher will be the tax bracket, and therefore you will pay more tax. Remember, you tax will automatically be taken from your salary-by your employer- and then paid to HMRC.
Reasons : Contacting HMRC about tax credits
- In case you suspect you have paid more than enough then you should call HMRC after the end of each Tax year. When you call them you can also request to re-calculate your tax bracket and then refund the amount that you are owed.
- If you are new to the country then you should phone HMRC to apply for the National Insurance number and inquire about the Direct Payment Scheme.
- You can also call HMRC in case you are an employed and want to inquire about the tax code an employee should be placed in or to find out the National Insurance they should pay.
- If you have inherited estate or the assets then too you should phone HMRC in order to get he information and advice about the exact amount inheritance tax that you should pay.
- Contact HMRC's Tax credit helpline, if you feel that you are on a low income and entitled to tax credits.
- You can also call the VAT helpline, if you would like the information and advice in terms of your rights concerning VAT, or you would like to complain about the amount you have paid.
- The accountants call HMRC on a regular basis as well, in order to gain the information about the customer's tax details. They also get to use a special phone number that the general public are not supposed to use. Any non-accountant who use it will have their call ended immediately right at the moment.
- You can also call Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in order to report fraud like money laundering, benefit fraud and more.
- You can also contact HMRC in order to get the information and advice on the special tax relief schemes if you are a charity or so.
Self Assessment Enquiries – HMRC Contact Number
Many of the HMRC contact numbers have changed over the last few months. Whilst some of the 0845 numbers remain in use, the new 0300 and 0345 contact numbers will be replacing them over the next few months.
