Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Archbishop of Myra in Lycia/
My beloved spiritual children in Christ Our Only True God and Our Only True Savior,
Saint Nicholas, the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia is famed as a great Saint pleasing unto God. He was born in the city of Patara in the region of Lycia (on the south coast of the Asia Minor peninsula), and was the only son of pious parents Theophanes and Nonna, who had vowed to dedicate him to God.
As the fruit of the prayer of his childless parents, the infant Nicholas from the very day of his birth revealed to people the light of his future glory as a wonderworker. His mother, Nonna, after giving birth was immediately healed from illness. The newborn infant, while still in the baptismal font, stood on his feet three hours, without support from anyone, thereby honoring the Most Holy Trinity. Saint Nicholas from his infancy began a life of fasting, and on Wednesdays and Fridays he would not accept milk from his mother until after his parents had finished their evening prayers.
From his childhood Nicholas thrived on the study of Divine Scripture; by day he would not leave church, and by night he prayed and read books, making himself a worthy dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. Bishop Nicholas of Patara rejoiced at the spiritual success and deep piety of his nephew. He ordained him a reader, and then elevated Nicholas to the Priesthood, making him his assistant and entrusting him to instruct the flock.
In serving the Lord the youth was fervent of spirit, and in his proficiency with questions of faith he was like an Elder, who aroused the wonder and deep respect of believers. Constantly at work and vivacious, in unceasing prayer, the priest Nicholas displayed great kind-heartedness towards the flock, and towards the afflicted who came to him for help, and he distributed all his inheritance to the poor.
There was a certain formerly rich inhabitant of Patara, whom Saint Nicholas saved from great sin. The man had three grown daughters, and in desperation he planned to sell their bodies so they would have money for food. The Saint, learning of the man's poverty and of his wicked intention, secretly visited him one night and threw a sack of gold through the window. With the money the man arranged an honorable marriage for his daughter. Saint Nicholas also provided gold for the other daughters, thereby saving the family from falling into spiritual destruction. In bestowing charity, Saint Nicholas always strove to do this secretly and to conceal his good deeds.
The Bishop of Patara decided to go on pilgrimage to the holy places at Jerusalem, and entrusted the guidance of his flock to Saint Nicholas, who fulfilled this obedience carefully and with love. When the bishop returned, Nicholas asked his blessing for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Along the way the Saint predicted a storm would arise and threaten the ship. Saint Nicholas saw the devil get on the ship, intending to sink it and kill all the passengers. At the entreaty of the despairing pilgrims, he calmed the waves of the sea by his prayers. Through his prayer a certain sailor of the ship, who has fallen from the mast and was mortally injured was also restored to health.
When he reached the ancient city of Jerusalem and came to Golgotha, Saint Nicholas gave thanks to the Savior. He went to all the holy places, worshiping at each one. One night on Mount Sion, the closed doors of the church opened by themselves for the great pilgrim. Going round the holy places connected with the earthly service of the Son of God, Saint Nicholas decided to withdraw into the desert, but he was stopped by a divine voice urging him to return to his native country. He returned to Lycia, and yearning for a life of quietitude, the Saint entered into the brotherhood of a monastery named Holy Sion, which had been founded by his uncle. But the Lord again indicated another path for him, "Nicholas, this is not the vineyard where you shall bear fruit for Me. Return to the world, and glorify My Name there." So he left Patara and went to Myra in Lycia.
Upon the death of Archbishop John, Nicholas was chosen as Bishop of Myra after one of the bishops of the Council said that a new archbishop should be revealed by God, not chosen by men. One of the elder bishops had a vision of a radiant Man, Who told him that the one who came to the church that night and was first to enter should be made Archbishop. He would be named Nicholas. The Bishop went to the church at night to await Nicholas. The Saint, always the first to arrive at church, was stopped by the Bishop. "What is your name, child?" he asked. God's chosen one replied, "My name is Nicholas, Master, and I am your servant."
After his consecration as Archbishop, Saint Nicholas remained a great ascetic, appearing to his flock as an image of gentleness, kindness and love for people. This was particularly precious for the Lycian Church during the persecution of Christians under the pagan Roman Emperor Diocletian (284-305 A.D.). Bishop Nicholas, locked up in prison together with other Christians for refusing to worship idols, sustained them and exhorted them to endure the fetters, punishment and torture. The Lord preserved him unharmed. Upon the accession of Saint Constantine (+May 21st) as Emperor, Saint Nicholas was restored to his flock, which joyfully received their guide and intercessor.
Despite his great gentleness of spirit and purity of heart, Saint Nicholas was a zealous and ardent warrior of the Church of Christ. Fighting evil spirits, the Saint made the rounds of the pagan temples and shrines in the city of Myra and its surroundings, shattering the idols and turning the temples to dust.
In the year 325 A.D. Saint Nicholas was a participant in the First Ecumenical Council. This Council proclaimed the Nicean Symbol of Faith, and he stood up against the heretic Arius with the likes of Saints Sylvester the Bishop of Rome (+January 2nd), Alexander of Alexandria (+May 29th), Spyridon of Trimythountos (+December 12th) and other Holy Fathers of the Council (Synod).
Saint Nicholas, fired with zeal for the Lord, assailed the heretic Arius with his words, and also struck him upon the face. For this reason, he was deprived of the emblems of his Episcopal rank and placed under guard. But several of the Holy Fathers had the vision, seeing the Lord Himself and the Mother of God returning to him the Gospel and Omophorion. The Holy Fathers of the Synod agreed that the audacity of the Saint was pleasing to God, and restored the Saint to the Office of Bishop.
Having returned to his own Diocese, the Saint brought it peace and blessings, sowing the word of Truth, uprooting heresy, nourishing his flock with sound doctrine, and also providing food for their bodies.
Even during his life the Saint worked many miracles. One of the greatest was the deliverance from death of three men unjustly condemned by the Governor, who had been bribed. The Saint body went up to the executioner and took his sword, already suspended over the heads of the condemned. The Governor, denounced by Saint Nicholas for his wrong doing, repented and begged for forgiveness.
Witnessing this remarkable event were three military officers, who were sent to Phrygia by the Emperor Constantine to put down a rebellion. They did not suspect that soon they would also be compelled to seek the intercession of Saint Nicholas. Evil men slandered them before the Emperor, and the officers were sentenced to death. Appearing to Saint Constantine in a dream, Saint Nicholas called on him to overturn the unjust sentence of the military officers.
He worked many other miracles, and struggled many long years at his labor. Through the prayers of the Saint, the city of Myra was rescued from a terrible famine. He appeared to a certain Italian merchant and left him three gold pieces as a pledge of payment. He requested him to sail to Myra and deliver grain there. More than once, the Saint saved those drowning in the sea, and provided release from captivity and imprisonment.
Having reached old age, Saint Nicholas peacefully fell asleep in the Lord. His venerable relics were preserved incorrupt in the local Cathedral Church and flowed with curative myrrh, from which many received healing. In the year 1087, his holy relics were transferred to the Italian city of Bari, where they rest even now (See May 9th).
The name of the great Saint of God, the Hierarch and Wonderworker Nicholas, a speedy helper and suppliant for all hastening to him, is famed in every corner of the earth, in many lands and among many peoples. In Russia there are a multitude of Cathedrals, Monasteries and Churches consecrated in his name. There is, perhaps, not a single city without a church dedicated to him.
The first Russian Christian prince Askold (+882) was baptized in 866 by Patriarch Photius (February 6th) with the name Nicholas. Over the grave of Askold, Saint Olga (July 11th) built the first temple of Saint Nicholas in the Russian Church at Kiev. Primary Cathedrals were dedicated to Saint Nicholas at Izborsk, Ostrov, Mozhaisk, and Zaraisk. At Novgorod the Great, one of the main churches of the city, the Nikolo-Dvorischensk church, later became a Cathedral...(Source: Orthodox Church In America)
His All-Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia in his homily on the holy feast of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker at the Iveron Cathedral, the former Nikolo-Perervinsky Monastery, Moscow, Russia, stated: "...Our memory of Saint Nicholas is so alive that we often turn to him every day, asking his help in our lives. We receive a reply from him: our prayers are answered. He appears to us through his presence in our lives, including through his miraculous and myrrh-streaming holy relics preserved in the city of Bari, which are profusely covered in fragrant myrrh. This myrrh is collected annually and pilgrims visiting Bari have the possibility of anointing themselves with it.
What is Saint Nicholas famous for? What was the basis of his marvelous life? We all know well the Saint's troparion: in it we all him a "rule of faith and model of meekness." It is impossible to put this any better--the entire meaning of the Saint's life was that he was a rule of faith and a model of meekness.
Meekness is a Christian virtue that modern man has a difficult time understanding. After all, one's worldview is largely shaped by one's stereotypes that are found within the public consciousness. But in modern society a conception of meekness is lacking, and the practical worldview generated by everyday life all but excludes it. Many today consider that the foundation of success--and many view success as the goal of life--is a constant fight. The world is constructed according to the laws of competition and competitiveness. If within this competitiveness everyone were to strive to show his best side, hurting no one, this would be justifiable, comprehensible, and perhaps even beneficial. More often than not, however, the competitiveness in which we are engaged is accompanied by conflict, a desire to weaken others, to defeat them, and to insure one's own victory on the basis of their defeat. What room is there here for meekness, given that meekness is nothing other than the manifestation of one's inner humility? It is expressed externally through one's lack of irritability, anger, and spite..."
"...In the end, human humility is a great force; with it, one can reach one's goals without harming others, without causing them any hurt or damage. Constructing such relationships gives joy and peace, rest and quiet to the heart. One's conscience is clean: one has hurt no one, tread on no one, cheated no one. How sweet is such a victory, how remarkable such achievements feel when they are realized without any harm to others! It indeed takes a great deal of strength to live one's life in this way. But if there is a worldview at the basis of our actions, then there is also a defined worldview at the basis of meekness, namely the Christian view of life formed by Christian faith. We say that Saint Nicholas is a "model of meekness" because he was a "rule of faith." If one's life is based on faith, then one's inner humility and meekness become a natural manifestation of this faith..." (Orthodox Christianity and the World, translated from Russian).

If your idea of chemistry is scientists tinkering with beakers and their work never leaving the lab, you might need to adjust your thinking. Because chemistry can be life-changing.
For proof, look no further than recent crackdowns which have changed a multimillion dollar industry, and discoveries which open up new avenues for treating medical problems in babies before they're even born.
This is the work of Associate Professor Malcolm McLeod from the ANU Research School of Chemistry, whose most recent research involved creating new chemical methods for detecting doping, leading to a clean-up in the greyhound industry of steroid abuse.
For years, dopers may have been avoiding prosecution because there was no way of proving that animals were being drugged.
The issue was that the drugs weren't coming out of the animals looking like they went in, due to the body changing the compounds.
"When you give a steroid to a horse, dog or human, usually you don't see that in the urine sample," Associate Professor McLeod explains. You have to detect the downstream product of that, which is called a metabolite."
Associate Professor McLeod and his team equipped the anti-doping community with the tools to take action, by figuring out how to synthesise chemical 'reference materials'.
Reference materials are basically synthetic versions of what these metabolites would look like at the tail-end (pun intended) of subjects.
Associate Professor McLeod then went on to develop a new sulfatase enzyme; making drug-testing even more effective.
"The sulfatase enzyme is useful for preparing samples for analysis. A lot of the compounds that come out in urine are 'decorated' with various chemical groups which makes it easier for the metabolised drugs to dissolve and exit the body."
The new enzyme effectively chops off some of the chemical groups to make a sample easier and simpler to analyse.
These sophisticated steroid-testing methods are being investigated even on the other side of the world, in relation to prenatal diagnoses at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, California and Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques, Spain.
With their innovative testing tools, Associate Professor McLeod and his collaborators have been able to identify chemical compounds in maternal urine samples which may indicate a problem with steroid metabolism even in the womb.
"If a baby has problems with steroid metabolism there are really profound developmental effects. An earlier diagnosis could theoretically lead to some sort of treatments even before birth."
While these early findings are yet to be translated into diagnostic testing or treatment, it is hoped that medical science will soon convert them into life-changing therapy.

Pouring the stout into my glass it pours smoothly and appears to have light carbonation, a rather vigorous pour resulted in a 1" loose khaki color head that disparates rather quickly. The aroma of the ale is sweet with notes of chocolate, caramel, coffee, and roasted barley! The stout is very dark of course, holding my glass up to light I cannot see any light passing through. The flavor and mouth are fantastic! Smooth, and silky on the tongue with light carbonation. The name for the beer "Cream Stout" does not come from any sort of dairy product within the beer, it's simply to reference the smoothness, or creaminess of the beer. The flavor however is wonderful, the notes of chocolate from the aroma come through, followed by caramel, then roasted barley, with hints of spices and wood. The stout has a robust and slightly smokey taste as well. I cannot taste any alcohol for it to be 6.1%ABV.
This is a solid beer! I rate it a B+ very nice, enjoyable!
This beer can be obtained locally at the Earth Fair Market in Tallahassee FL.

MACC raids Unisel, MBI and contractor's office ... - The Sun Daily
MACC officers conducting raids on University Selangor, Shah Alam on Aug 22, 2017. — Sunpix by Zulfadhli Zaki
KUALA LUMPUR: After Penang and Selangor, more states can expect to come under the scrutiny of graft-busters.
"It has been 'hot' these days. What other states after this? Let's wait and see," hinted Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Dzulkifli Ahmad during his speech at the launch of a play, Bahara Emas, which will be held from October to December nationwide in conjunction with the commission's 50th anniversary.
He said more arrests and charges against the corrupt would take place from now until the end of the year, adding that the days were numbered for those still blinded by material possessions and money.
On allegations that the MACC's actions on certain parties were "planned", Dzulkifli stressed that they were not biased in their investigations.
"We don't choose our targets. Whoever it is, whether they are politicians, civil servants or corporate figures, we will take action.
"Once a report is received and we have determined that it has a strong basis, we will carry out raids and seize documents.
"Once there is enough evidence, only then will we make arrests," he said, adding that proper planning must be done before his officers moved in "at the right time".
Earlier in his speech, Dzulkifli revealed his inspiration to make weekly arrests came from a 2015 Indian action movie called Gabbar Is Back, depicting the protagonist's mission to rid corrupt officials.
"We want to empower the people to stand up and say no to corruption.
"Why? Because the MACC is here with you.
"We are the people's voice and machinery," he said.
Citing a case in Penang which caused pollution and another in Pahang over illegal bauxite mining, Dzulkifli said these cases happened due to issues of corruption and abuse of power.
He pointed out that those greatly affected by corruption were the people and not the ones in power, which was why "the MACC is here to carry out a probe".

MACC probes Unisel campus
SHAH ALAM: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is currently conducting a raid at Universiti Selangor (Unisel) in Section 7 here.
Six uniformed officers from the national anti-graft body arrived at the campus here at 9.50am on Tuesday in two separate vehicles.
Upon entering the campus' administrative building, the officers were greeted by staff members who brought them up to the offices.
The MACC is simultaneously raiding four other offices of Unisel, Mentri Besar Incorporated (MBI) and Jana Niaga Sdn Bhd offices in connection with the case.
Uniformed MACC officers were also at the Unisel main campus in Bestari Jaya.
They are currently conducting a raid at the university's administration office which is located inside the library building.
Three officers, meanwhile, arrived at the Mentri Besar Incorporated (MBI) office at Bangunan Darul Ehsan, in Shah Alam to conduct a raid.
In KUALA LUMPUR, anti-graft officers are raiding a Jana Niaga office on Jalan 4/76C.
Four officers arrived at 10.25am in a vehicle with heavily tinted windows to conduct the raid.
It is believed the MACC is acting on a report lodged with it against Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and MBI over a dispute between Unisel and its contractor Jana Niaga.
It had been reported that Jana Niaga allegedly received monetary compensation and a new contract from Unisel, despite failing to complete a previous contract.

Commission raids Unisel, MBI and contractor's premises to investigate RM16mil payment
SHAH ALAM: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) carried out simultaneous raids on five locations in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur in its probe of RM16mil allegedly paid by a Selangor government-owned company to a private firm for maintenance work.
The places raided included the Universiti Selangor (Unisel) main campus and office, two offices belonging to the contractor – Jana Niaga Sdn Bhd – and the Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI) office.
In all, officers took away 10 boxes and one suitcase filled with documents relating to the payment made by MBI to Jana Niaga for maintenance work of student accommodations at the Unisel main campus in Bestari Jaya.
Sources said MBI had allegedly made the payment to Jana Niaga via two transactions of RM10mil and RM6mil in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
Initial reports received by MACC showed that MBI had paid Jana Niaga even though its contract had been terminated by Unisel.
The sources added that the MACC probe focused on the reasons why the payments were made even though Jana Niaga had failed to fulfil the contract agreement for the work done in Unisel in 2012.
MACC director of investigations Datuk Simi Abd Ghani said the investigating teams seized documents related to the case from the different locations.
"We're still in the early stage of our investigations and we will gather strong and sufficient evidence before we proceed," he added.
MACC officers raided the Unisel main campus in Bestari Jaya and office here, Jana Niaga's offices in Desa Pandan and Bestari Jaya, and MBI's office in Bangunan Darul Ehsan here.
At the MBI office, five MACC officers started their inspection at 10.45am and left at 5.50pm with a medium-sized suitcase and a box filled with documents.
Four boxes of documents were taken from the Unisel Treasurer's office in Section 7 here at 4.30pm after the officers spent nearly seven hours there.
Other MACC officers also went to the Unisel main campus in Bestari Jaya, Kuala Selangor, and left with three boxes of documents at 4.50pm.
A Unisel spokesman said it would give its fullest cooperation to the MACC investigation.
In Kuala Lumpur, four uniformed officers went to Jana Niaga's office in Jalan 4/76C in Desa Pandan at 10.25am and left carrying two large boxes of documents at 4.26pm.
When approached, one of the officers said the documents were from 2011 onwards. - The Star

Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) said Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton with have to "use her best imagination" to deal with the growing scandal over her deleting the emails from her tenure of secretary of state and wiping her server clean.
Brown said, "I'm telling you, this email business has a certain buzz that keeps buzzing. And I have a hard time figuring out, why is it such a big deal? But it is and she'll have to use her best imagination and adroitness to deal with it. So, these are things that happen. it's still very early. And I hope she can get beyond this because I think as a matter of fact and laws and ethics, these emails are not what the pundits are thinking they are."

Flight of the Conchords questions
03/03/18 11:33
As the New Zealand band 'The Flight of the Conchords' will be touring the UK this month, I've put together a list of questions to ask the two guys. Hopefully, these questions will pass through the spirit-ether and appear to them in dreams. They'll then answer the questions with their subconscious minds and I'll receive their replies while day-dreaming about how to levitate, or possibly in the form of lyrics to weird ear-worm songs of unknown origin that I start humming to myself. For those who don't know these guys, check out this video:

Though some people feel powerless to change their lives, others have taken to the Internet to generate a real income through their own businesses. So here are some ways to help you greatly increase the visitors that your website receives.
Have a few short articles instead of longer ones to keep your rank high. Long pages get weighted less than shorter ones by the search engines. In addition, most viewers will not read an entire document if it is more than a few screens long.
Make sure that your code is clean and concise to maximize your search rankings. Poorly coded java can make it difficult for spiders to index your pages. Your website won't be indexed if it contains a great deal of Flash content and does not have alternate textual descriptions.
When publishing content, it's best to post multiple short pieces on topics that are similar than it is to post extremely long articles. Longer pages do not help page rankings as much as shorter ones do. Also, viewers will likely read shorter articles.
Search Engine
To make the most out of search engine optimization efforts, write to match your goal. This involves keeping your writing fluid, but using keywords repeatedly. Remember that search engine spiders don't actually read your content; they just search it for valid keywords.
If you want to rank high in a search engine, do your part to help out web spiders. They are always looking through content based on keywords, but spiders also need to understand your site's overall structure. A sitemap allows you to present the hierarchy of each page on your site; this also makes it easier for spiders to assess relevancy.
It is important to use a name that is rich in keywords for your domain. You want to make your website easy to find when people are searching for it on the web. Not all clicks to your website will come from your marketing efforts. Some people will stumble on your site while searching for similar products.
Make sure that your header tags are efficient. Headers are large at times. However, CSS can be used to alter the size. Headers are important because search engines love to use them to rank websites. Highlight the more important things with H1 and H2 options for tags.
Search Engines
A title tag will make sure you are recognized by search engines, and they will then be able to understand your web page. Limit your title tags to sixty characters. Search engines usually only preview the first few words. If they do show the content, they do not give it as much consideration.
When purchasing a domain name, remember to keep it simple and product related so people have an easier time remembering it. Names like this make searches for your content easier. They create brand recognition which, by itself, can generate profits.
Use a site map to help boost traffic to your website. This results in the pages being linked together. If you put links at the side of the site, it will increase traffic.
Article exchanges is a wiser decision to help boost your rankings. This basically means that you will use an article created by a different website owner, and post it on your website. You will then need to credit the author with the help of a link to their site, and they will do the same for you on their site. This is better than link exchanges, since it involves getting fresh content.
Site Map
If your website includes audio and video content, you should consider including detailed transcripts. When you make the effort to include the transcripts, the search engine crawlers will be able to read and rank your page.
A site map will assist search engines to index your pages. Also known as a navigation bar, a site map allows search engines to find pages from any other page of your site. Even a small site can have a huge impact with a site map, in how a search engine will rank it.
You might think it is obvious, though you definitely need to make sure your site is registered with key search engines. Many people think it's done automatically. Periodically you will want to check in to re-verify that your website is still coming up in search results. Regardless of its current position in the rankings, you must check to make sure it is at least able to be found.
Try not to overextend yourself and include more keywords than you need. Keep your site focused on a dozen or so main keywords or phrases that really capture the essence of what your site is about. You can find the keyphrases that generate traffic using analytical tools.
Sometimes it's helpful to ask yourself what key words you would type in to search for your particular business, and then include those in your site. However, there needs to be a balance on the number of keywords used. Too many and you will be tagged as spam, too few and you will be overlooked.
The first sentences of an article should have terms that can also be usable as a HTML META descriptor tag. Some search engines use this content instead of the actual tag to use as the blurb that explains your site below your link in page results. Lacking content could hurt your Seo.
Join as many prominent organizations as you can when you are working to optimize your search engine ranking. This will give you a leg up on local searches, as well as having two major websites link to your own. Plus, a good Better Business Bureau rating lets customers know that you are running a legitimate website.
Don't publish an article twice on the website you have. If you do, Google may think your cheating the system. Also, link to different pages with the same information will lower you page rank.
You should think the way a customer thinks when you are trying to figure out what keywords will be the most effective. Always include the simplest terms a customer would use to find your site.
Before committing to an outside Local Seo company for promoting your site, get a feel for what they do before you make a commitment. For example, ask if they have any experience in your line of business, what Seo strategies they regard as indispensable, the length of time it takes for these strategies to produce results and how much their services are going to cost you. Ask to see examples of previous work and to talk with some of their clients. Companies that stand by their work will more than happily comply.
An important Seo tip is to keep an eye on your search rankings. You might have the worst search engine strategy ever, but you won't know unless you check regularly. Find online tools, such as Google or Alexa, and do a bit of research on your page rank.
Search Engines
It is crucial that you never make the mistake of posting any article to your website more than one time. Google sees this as spamming and will reduce your page rank for it. Also your Page Rank can suffer if you have two separate pages for the exact same content, as this dilutes the count of the incoming links.
Search engine optimization works differently for different search engines, and you may only be able to optimize your site for one or two of them, depending on your resources. If you use keywords that are popular you will gain an edge on the search engines. , Ask. This means diversifying your approach is an excellent idea.
The world might be unfair, but dwelling on that won't pay the bills. Work hard to bring together the best techniques to give yourself a good chance of success. Use these tips so your business is in a better situation online.

Same Time Next Year, the epitome of excellence!
Photo of Ginny Wehrmeister and Joel Roster by Charles Jarrett
The Diablo Actor's Ensemble Theatre (DAE) in Walnut Creek has once again produced another sparkling gem of theatrical entertainment with their production of Bernard Slade's fanciful and enduring tale of extended love, friendship and commitment in "Same Time Next Year" playing now through May 23rd. Director Scott Fryer has brought back the fantastic acting team of Joel Roster and Ginny Wehrmeister to bring to this popular and much produced love story the epitome of excellence.
In the movie, "South Pacific", the French plantation owner, Emile, reminisces about a chance encounter that would forever change his life as he sings these memorable words, "Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger, you may see a stranger across a crowded room, and somehow you know, you know even then, that somewhere you'll see her, again and again - - -"
And so it is with New Jersey accountant George, who is in California on a business trip and a northern California housewife, Doris, who is supposed to be attending a Catholic retreat, and they both just happen to end up in this same coastal inn. Their eyes chance to connect across an almost empty dining room in this quiet, not overly crowded Mendocino retreat. They look away, they look back, they smile, they look away again and a non-spoken encounter innocently begins, then like a magnet, the fortuitous moment draws their eyes back to each other. George somewhat sheepishly acknowledges their encounter by saluting the lady across the room by raising his dinner fork, brandishing a slightly red, obviously rare piece of steak, in a rather silly gesture. She laughs and a special encounter to end all encounters, begins.
Karen and I have seen this play several times, how many times I just cannot remember, but each time I anticipate the fond warm memories that this delightful story brings back to me. The story resonates of a remarkable, albeit highly unlikely romance between two ordinary people, happily married to others, who strike up a conversation and before the evening is over end up spending the night in a wild, passionate sexual encounter.
I also remember the 1978 movie adaption of the play, starring Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn (who won the Tony Award for Best Actors), and remember two sterling actors who deliver a play well written in such a fashion that it will probably never escape me. This weekend, I experienced another sterling moment, another brilliant theatrical experience, one that I am sure will rank up there with the Alda and Burstyn performance, with what Karen and I both agree is unequivocally the best play performance of this remarkable work that we have ever seen!
When the play opens, on the morning-after their encounter, we find George and Doris (Joel and Ginny) in a ruffled up bed, both pretending that they are half-awake, staring off into the room, trying to absorb silently what has just occurred in their lives. The bed creaks several times as George tries to exit the bed without waking Doris. He slowly and stealthily tip-toes across the room, gathers up his socks and stumbles a bit trying to slip them on. Again it is obvious that he is trying to escape without waking Doris. But Doris is awake, she too trying to decide if she dares to acknowledge her escaping paramour. Then, she decides she cannot let him slip away and she calls out to him. He stumbles while trying to step into his trousers and fumbles for words, getting his rambling racing uncoordinated thoughts all screwed up. This slow motion and awkwardly developing scene is an absolute jewel and it sets the tone for the remarkably well directed and totally believable story that follows.
The couple acknowledge that they know what they have done is wrong, they feel guilty, they are embarrassed as they talk about how much they love their families (each of them with three children apiece), they beat themselves up, and they feel more guilt as they begin to talk about what a special moment has occurred in their lives. Was it wrong? Yes it was. Do they want to meet again? Well, no, well yes, well maybe, well maybe not, well - - - yessssss!
They continue meeting, once a year, at the same inn, ostensibly for the same purpose, the annual business meeting and the annual religious retreat, continuing for 24 years. Over the course of that time-frame the relationship between them migrates from the initial clandestine affair to a sexual nirvana, to that of a deep emotional and personal intimacy, an extended loving, and caring relationship. They, in themselves, encounter, encourage and weather a plethora of changes in their own lives, personalities and personal growth. They encounter in real time and vicariously, marital problems, political change, death of loved ones, and even birth. They learn to love and respect and care for their periodic partner's own families, almost as much as they love their own children, and all without ever actually meeting each other's families.
Ginny and Joel are so incredibly real, so intensely believable, so professional in every aspect that these actors set themselves apart in their heart-warming delivery. Members of the audience cried and laughed and held their breath as each new chapter in the characters' lives unfolded. This superbly written play is a masterpiece of human history, providing a memory tapestry that each of us is sure to relate to in some small way. At times, this superbly well written story is delightfully funny, at times it is extremely poignant, but at all times it is intensely real and believable. If you don't fall in love with Joel Roster and Ginny Wehrmeister and their performances in this play, then I will be completely gob smacked! If I could exhibit four boxes of popcorn, or four little guys applauding or four bouquets of roses to underscore my approval rating, then this production would get four of everything to tell you absolutely, not to miss it!
"Same Time Next Year" plays Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m., through May 23rd. Tickets are a very reasonable $10 to $25 each and can be reserved by calling (866) 811- 4111 or by going on line to http://www.diabloactors.com/. DAE's intimate little theatre is located next to Peet's Coffee at 1345 Locust Street in Walnut Creek. There is plenty of parking across the street, on Locust in a huge public parking garage.

With no dues increase and a "stellar" lineup of benefits, there isn't a better time than now to renew your commitment to the AAS.
The Society emailed members in early September announcing the start of membership renewal season, and many took notice. Online renewals are arriving at a steady pace. If you have already paid your dues, thanks for your continued support.
Later this month we will mail paper reminders to members who haven't renewed online yet. To help reduce costs and the Society's carbon footprint, we encourage you to renew online today for fast, easy self-service. Simply log in to pay your dues, to confirm or update your journal subscriptions and Division memberships, and to lock in savings for 2016 by renewing for two years at the current rate. (Note: That last option isn't available to junior members, who instead get two years for the price of one — currently $77 —when first joining the Society, then renew annually thereafter.)
Renew before 31 December to maintain your benefits and receive additional savings: the AAS will extend a one-time 15% discount off your portion of the author charges for one paper published in the Astronomical Journal, the Astrophysical Journal, ApJ Letters, or ApJ Supplement.

Welcome to Birdquest
Birdquest's French Subantarctic Islands of the Indian Ocean birding and wildlife watching tour is one of those rare adventures that are only on offer from time to time. Our French Subantarctic Islands of the Indian Ocean tour explores some of the most remote and least-visited islands on our planet (Kerguelen, Crozet, St Paul and Amsterdam), home to a series of rare seabirds and other endemic birds. Needless to say, pelagic seabirding is extraordinary.
Thursday 7th November —
Thursday 5th December 2019
(29 days)
Leader: Mark Beaman
Group Size Limit: 5
Tour Category: Easy for the most part (some moderate grade walking)
In the vast expanses of the southern Indian Ocean, it is a rare chunk of land that interrupts this immense sweep of sea and wind. Far and few, far and few are the lands where the seabirds come to breed in this remote part of our planet, and far apart and very few in number are those who have ever set foot on them.
With the exception of St Paul and Amsterdam (which lie roughly at the halfway mark between the Cape of Good Hope and Australia, and which still host a French fishing industry, most of the few islands that exist are situated to the south of the shipping lanes, so Prince Edward, Marion, the Crozets, Kerguelen and Heard were rarely visited except by whalers, sealers and penguin-oil collectors, and later by small numbers of explorers and scientists.
Yet these tiny fragments of land, both because of their small size and the fact they represent the sole possible breeding places for seabirds in this immense yet rich expanse of ocean, teem with life, offering a home for millions of seabirds of a great variety of species, and including a series of rarely-observed endemics and restricted-range specialities.
Being so far from anywhere, and not on the now comparatively well-travelled routes between southernmost South America or New Zealand and Antarctica, they are very rarely visited even by expedition ships, and in fact a cruise like this one (taking in the Crozets, Kerguelen, Amsterdam and St Paul, and thus almost all the regional specialities) represents a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity for most people.
We start our epic journey on the French island of Réunion and from there sail southwards to the Crozet Islands, home to Indian Yellow-nosed and Light-mantled Albatrosses, the endemic Crozet Shag, the restricted-range Black-faced (or Lesser) Sheathbill and Kerguelen Tern, as well as King, Gentoo, Macaroni and Rockhopper Penguins, and large numbers of Antarctic Fur Seals and hulking Southern Elephant Seals.
Next we explore Kerguelen Island, which lies far to the east of the Crozets. Discovered by Captain Yves Joseph de Kerguelen-Tremarec, who was searching for the supposed 'Terra Australis', this volcanic, plant-rich island is home to the endemic Eaton's (or Kerguelen) Pintail and Kerguelen Shag, and the restricted-range Kerguelen Tern, while numerous other seabirds nest, including Kerguelen Petrel and Wandering Albatross.
The next leg of the voyage takes us northwards to St Paul and Amsterdam Islands, which hold a huge colony of Indian Yellow-nosed Albatrosses, the rare Amsterdam Albatross (that breeds only here), the beautiful Sooty Albatross, Antarctic Tern and many other seabirds.
All those days at sea will not be wasted either as we look for a fantastic collection of pelagics including Kerguelen, Barau's and Réunion Petrels, St Paul, Salvin's and Fulmar Prions, Flesh-footed Shearwater and White-bellied Storm-Petrel, to name just a few.
By the time we eventually return to Réunion we will have joined a small band of birders who have explored these small but rich islands in the middle of a vast ocean.
Accommodation & Transport: We shall be sailing on a supply vessel for the research bases in the French Indian Ocean Territories. The ship, while surprisingly comfortable, is a fairly large cargo vessel and not a 'cruise ship' in the traditional manner and will appeal most to those for whom exploring wild places and enjoying wild nature is the prime attraction.
Cabins are furnished with two berths and have some storage space and an outside view (all have en-suite bathroom facilities). Public facilities include a restaurant and lounge/bar. Food is plentiful and of good quality, waiter-served and prepared by French chefs.
Landings are carried out by zodiacs, the rugged, fast-moving inflatables developed by Jacques Cousteau for expedition work which allow safe landings on remote coastlines in all types of conditions, and by the ship's helicopter (now that is something special!).
Important: Owing to the possibility, however small, of a severe airline delay, we would recommend that all participants have at least one night in Réunion prior to the cruise. Kindly note that in the event you do not arrive in time, the ship will not wait and there will be no refund in such circumstances. Arriving early also has the advantage that your luggage could still catch up with you, should it go astray. We can make hotel bookings for you on request.
Walking: The walking effort is mostly easy, but there are a few optional harder walks.
Climate: Quite mild at this season. Temperatures range from cool to warm in the north of the subantarctic islands region and from cool to cold in the south (although even in the south it can feel relatively mild on a sunny day if there is no wind). It feels decidedly cold on windy days at sea in the far south, however! Sunny spells are interspersed with (often longer) overcast periods and some rain is to be expected.
Bird/Sea Mammal Photography: Opportunities are outstanding.
Day 1 Board our ship at Réunion and set sail for the Subantarctic Islands. We will spend 28 nights on board.
Days 2-28 Sailing between, and exploring, the French Indian Ocean Territories, including Amsterdam, St Paul, Kerguelen and the Crozet Islands.
Day 29 Return to Réunion and disembark.
Dates are provisional (but should not vary greatly from those indicated). Exact dates will only be confirmed approximately 5-6 months before sailing!
Bookings and Deposit: Please contact us if you are interested in participating. The trip is provisionally full as of 14 May 2018, but a space or two may become available.
Prices are provisional
€8670 (£7539, $10577) Réunion/Réunion.
Includes surface transportation, accommodations, meals (including some some drinks) and entrance fees.
This tour is priced in Euros (the exchange rates used for the indicative Pound Sterling and US Dollar prices are: £1 = €1.150, €1 = $1.220).
Gratuities for the crew are not included in the tour price. The level of gratuities is entirely a matter for personal discretion. The crew work very long hours to make such voyages a success. We suggest gratuities of between Euros 200-400.
Single Cabin/Room Supplement: Single occupancy of cabins can be obtained in return for a 100% supplement, space permitting. Please note that if you are willing to share but no cabin-mate is available you will not have to pay the single occupancy supplement.
Air Travel To & From The Tour: Our in-house IATA ticket agency will be pleased to arrange your air travel on request, or you may arrange this yourself if you prefer.
Many of the flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed on this website.

Sealants are a great way to protect against tooth decay and cavities on your back teeth (molars). These are the teeth that are most vulnerable to cavities and decay because they are used in the chewing process, and are the most difficult to reach and clean. Molars first come in at around 5-7 years of age, with a second set coming in between the ages of 11-14. It is best to have a sealant placed when the molars first come in to ensure they are protected early.
To place a sealant an adhesive is first applied to the teeth. The sealant is then placed over the adhesive as a liquid, as if it is painted right onto the tooth. The liquid then hardens and creates a barrier between your tooth and any plaque, food particles, and bacteria. Sealants last for about 10 years and can be reapplied if necessary.

Tremulous is a fps which uses the Quake 3 engine where 2 teams can be chosen, humans and aliens. The two teams are able to build structures with buildpoints, which are vital to obtain victory. The goal of Tremulous is to eliminate the other team with all their spawns.
But Tremulous is not a fps like the others... The two teams are totally diffrent ( logic, aliens and humans ) but especially, having to build a base and protect it, allows an important strategic plan in the game for each team.
During a match of Tremulous, each team is at one of the three stages of development. These stages are achieved when the entire team exceeds a specific number of enemies killed. Each new stage unlocks new weapons, new upgrades or new structures. If a team reaches a higher stage than the other team's stage, they see their chances of winning increase significantly.

Senate Minority Leader Corey Stapleton doesn't really like blogs :
Stapleton said he was frustrated by the media attention, especially from bloggers, whom he calls the "angry, unaccountable, anonymous media."
Criticism by liberal blogs does more harm to a citizen legislature like Montana's, Stapleton says, than to professional politicians. "It dissuades average, moral people from wanting to get involved."
Mr. Stapleton has definitely hit on the Jeffersonian ideal of free speech with his observations. I know this country would be much better off today if those crazed pamphleteers like Thomas Paine and the authors of the Federalist papers had ceased their criticism of the governmment. I'm no Madison or Paine, but it's not as if Mr. Stapleton cuts the same figure as Patrick Henry, either.
The First Amendment definitely should insulate our political leaders from criticism–after all, how dare citizens question the "citizen legislature ? The next thing you know, they are going to demand the right to testify about bills, write letters to the editor, and have opinions that are entirely their own.
I'm angry? I'm unaccountable? Even if you're right, Corey, at least I'm not a close-minded bigot . If you don't want people to criticize you, maybe you should stop saying such unbelievably stupid and insensitive things.
P.S. Most people consider racism immoral. Just sayin'.

Volcano Bay Waterpark Construction Update #11 ~ Universal Orlando Resort
It has been a little over 2 weeks since our last update and there have been many changes to the site since our last post on Universal's newest waterpark. The first, and most major, change we notice is that the volcano, Krakatau Mountain, has been topped off as indicated by the U.S. flag as well as the Florida state flag.
Despite reaching the highest point of steel work, the work continues as more pieces of structure are still being added:
Overall, the mountain is looking great with lots of slides in place and wrapping in and around the structure:
A closer look from the angle above shows us the platform area inside the mountain that seems to be for 2 drop capsule slides. Though the capsules themselves are not yet installed the angle of descent is likely for that type of slide:
From a couple different angles we can see the facade work to make Krakatau Mountain look like an actual mountain, is coming along nicely. This includes the addition of concrete and primer for the mountain's final color:
Even more pieces are waiting in the wave pool area for placement as this massive 3-D puzzle continues:
Some smaller buildings are starting gain some color, if only on their roof:
From a couple of choice angles, the half-pipe like slide, Honu is looking more impressive with a few more pieces added since our last update:
Just beneath Honu we can see one of the lazy river's is making progress into this area of the park:
The stair towers continue to develop next to these slides:
On a lesser developed side of the park we can see a few more structures similar to the stair towers above but not as tall or as far along in development:
The water coaster is always looking impressive and it appears that more structure around it has been added:
Finally, just in front of the water coaster station we notice lots more supports and maybe even the beginnings of a building coming into form:
Stay tuned for updates on this and more and be sure to check out our previous posts for more!

I am trying to deal with some XML that redefines itself as a child. By this I mean I have the following XML fragment:
<ns4:Symptom DTCList="2~3~600E18~C2797~NONE" sortOrder="5460">
<ns4:Symptom>Symptom description ...</ns4:Symptom>
I am receiving the following error from SimpleXML:
Element 'Symptom' is already used with @org.simpleframework.xml.Element(name=Symptom, data=false, type=void, required=false) on field 'symptom' com.foo.response.xml.SymptomNS4 com.foo.response.xml.Warning.symptom at line 1
Warning class:
@Root(name = "Warning")
public class Warning {
@Element(name = "Symptom") SymptomNS4 symptom;
SymptomNS4 class:
@Root(name = "Symptom")
public class SymptomNS4 {
@Attribute(name = "DTCList") String dtcList;
@Attribute(name = "sortOrder") String sortOrder;
@Element(name = "Symptom") String symptom;
Obviously, the approach I took is not working. How do you model this chunk of XML in SimpleXML?

Edgar Allan Poe spent some time in Baltimore and Annabel Lee Tavern honors his legacy and love. He fell deeply for a younger girl who passed away from seraphim (tuberculosis). Edgar Allan Poe died shortly after, probably from heartbreak. You can read his poem called Annabel Lee in the book they have in the back of the tavern. His poem was published only after he died and it was his last complete piece.
The tavern is filled with famous quotes and his distinct personality. It's the perfect venue for delicious food, great ambiance and a way to appreciate a man who was one of the first to make a living as a writer. You may be inspired to check out the Edgar Allan Poe house and museum in the city. But you must first try one of the specials at Annabel Lee! I am normally not too fond of meatloaf but this one sounded delightful and I was blown away. We enjoyed:
Meatloaf served with mushroom gravy, sweet potato mash and steamed broccoli (it had sold out the night before so they made the chef prepare it again)
Crab Imperial Stuffed Shrimp with White Wine Risotto
Garden Salad with Field Greens, Cucumbers, Onion, Hearts of Palm, Kalamata Olives, and Grape Tomatoes (a big plate for a "side salad")

Human Analytics LLC is a Washington, D.C. based, women-owned small business committed to fostering the balance between human values and organizational objectives. We specialize in assisting organizations operating in complex environments with identifying, preventing, and mitigating risk through the development and implementation of risk management policies and systems. As reinforced by various regulatory, contractual requirements, and voluntary standards, organizations increasingly are expected to engage in a thorough human rights due diligence process as part of an overall risk management strategy. In addition to human rights risk and impact assessment, our services include gap analysis against recognized standards, policy and management system design and implementation, monitoring and evaluation of operational systems, facilitation of community engagement, development of complaints mechanisms, and development and delivery of training, using a "train the trainer" approach. Ultimately, we see our job as helping your organization put in place the necessary policies, processes, and systems so that you won't need us anymore.
Our experienced team brings expertise from the fields of human rights, business, international development, and security to offer an array of risk management services tailored to our clients' needs. Since 1989 Human Analytics' staff has had experience operating in more than 30 countries around the world, frequently in support of program requirements in high-risk, complex environments where strong local knowledge and effective community engagement is critical to program success. Our principals are recognized subject matter experts in the human rights and security operating space and are routinely called upon to advise organizations on human rights risk management methodologies for both headquarter and field program locations. Human Analytics staff has been involved in the development of key security standards, including the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (ICoC), ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2012: Management System for Quality of Private Security Company Operations – Requirements with Guidance (PSC.1), and ISO 18788 Management System for Private Security Operations – Requirements with Guidance.
Our approach can assist your company with implementation and preparation for successful independent certification to security and human rights standards, such as PSC.1. Mature security providers recognize the benefits that certification brings to themselves and their clients. The establishment of a risk management system allows for a holistic approach to managing potential and actual threats and disruptions to operations, which ultimately enables the efficient delivery of quality services with less cost and risk.

Pedestrian dies in Clover after collision with car
A pedestrian walking in the middle of U.S. 321 in Clover while carrying a case of beer died late Friday after he was hit by a car, according to authorities.
Lawrence Douglas Sloan Jr., 43, of 115 Cloverleaf Drive, was walking south in the highway in the northern part of town in the southbound traffic lane of the road around 6:30 p.m. New Year's Eve when he was hit by a 2005 Kia heading southbound, said Capt. David Dover of the Clover Police Department. Investigators found Sloan had just been to a nearby convenience store where he bought the case of beer, Dover said.
Sloan, who lived nearby, died at the scene from multiple injuries, said Ev Amick, York County deputy coroner.
Alcohol use by Sloan was a factor in the incident, said Dover and Amick.
"Mr. Sloan was in the road at the time of the incident," Dover said.
The driver of the car was not cited, Dover said, as police investigators found she was not impaired and speed was not a factor. The driver was not injured, Dover said.
The case remains under investigation.
