Though Reverend Mother isn't proud of what she and her sisters intend to do in Las Vegas, their only saving grace is knowing what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Though Reverend Mother isn't proud of what she and her sisters intend to do in Las Vegas, their only saving grace is knowing what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Or at least that's how the world works in Dan Goggin's naughty comedic musical "Nunsensations: The Nunsense Vegas Revue," presented by the Second Street Players. The show opens Friday at the Riverfront Theatre.
Nunintentional fun
Reverend Mother and her motley sisters have just discovered they have $10,000 worth of integrity. This became apparent when a parishioner offered to donate this sum to their school on one condition: the nuns must betray their beliefs by performing a concert at The Pump Lounge in Sin City.
Reverend Mother agrees and ventures to Sin City with her four sweethearts: Sister Mary Hubert (she has a very masculine appearance); Sister Robert Anne (an ex-gang member); Sister Mary Leo (a newcomer who dreams of becoming the first ballerina nun); and Sister Mary Amnesia (she lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head).
You'll see the colorful sisters earning every cent of that $10,000 as they sing Vegas-style show tunes by Goggin, meshed with whimsical and jazzy choreography, along with over-the-top costuming and props including feathered fans and gold top hats.
Adding to the fun, it should be mentioned "Vegas Revue" is pretty interactive as the nuns will play games with the audience and ask them questions like this risqué one: "Haven't you always wanted a Wayne Newton doll?" explained director Chris Clawson, of Milford.
"There's a Holy Rollers game and the performers] will pick people in the audience to play with them," he added. "It's like a Wheel of Fortune kind of thing, and they do it three or four times and everyone gets prizes."
'There's a huge following'
"Vegas Revue" is the fifth sequel out of six in the "Nunsense" series, which began in 1985 with "Nunsense." The series is loosely inspired by the popular film "Sister Act."
"There's a huge following for this particular thing," Clawson said. "It started with "Sister Act" and this is kind of a [spin-off] of that."
Without a doubt, Clawson is confident "Vegas Revue" will offer more than enough lightheartedness to keep patrons smiling from beginning to end.
"It's not your ordinary show," he said. "This is a lot of fun."
WHAT "Nunsensations: The Nunsense Vegas Revue"
WHEN 8 p.m., Friday; 8 p.m., Saturday; 3 p.m., Sunday; show dates run through May 5

I'm Off On A Certified Adventure
I've decided to fulfill one of my long professional and personal goals of becoming a Certified GenealogistSM by completing the Preliminary Application and mailing it in to the Board for Certification of Genealogists.
This is a big step for me as it has been a struggle for me lately to make a commitment to this important endeavor. I wanted to make sure that I was doing it for all the right reasons and that I could set aside enough time to pursue certification so that it is more than just a burden or another task on my project list.
Now I wait to receive my materials and to "go on the clock" as they say. For those of you not familiar with BCG or its programs, please look at their site and, more importantly, consider purchasing their Standards Manual. Even if you never go for your CG or think that certification is for you, this book is one of the "must haves" in my library. I purchased it when I was in the Boston University online program for a Certificate in Genealogical Research and I couldn't imagine pursuing any research without putting the standards into practice.
So off I go. Please understand that as part of the process I won't be able to discuss much in terms of my work or the materials I'm submitting. Just know that I am looking forward to not just obtaining certification, but enjoying the adventure along the way.

Nice cock
Just beautiful. Sex like this is almost spiritual. Yes, they are both beautiiful, and he has a magnificent body, penis, and balls. She is doing a great job of not letting him cum, and there is a lot of energy in that. Maybe he doesnt cum this time and she does. I would love sex like this.
O come on jerk his cock allready!

i am here
The woman is very beautiful knows how to masturbate a Penis using both hands on it; Lovely bed and surroundings too. She is very good
She should have made him shoot a load. That would have been more exciting.

ahahah! what's that? no doubt that it's nice to receive a well-done handjob from a girl, but there's no reason to use all those techniques, and neither the "special" oils (then I think it would be more exciting if she used her juices instead of the oil)... girls, don't trust this video: if my girlfriend had done this to me I would have got bored after 2 minutes!
and yes it all looks very good but as i see a lot of porn my GF and i think those karma sutra are so un-believe-able that i still remain old fashioned if it were as she play,s with me and like-wise then we have a GOOD time and blow each other off is that ???? true love-making ???? i shall awaite comments ...
I don't think I would be able to maintain my spirituality for more than 5 minutes. After 5 minutes MAX, my spirituality will be sprayed all over her.
Very beautiful.
I like
the mad lover whom looking for beautiful pussy and real sexy
I thought this was about doing a hand job, not an erotic message
That's not a handjob, that's a perfect LINGAM MASSAGE! Verry sensitive. And 4 you "horny", seams you don't know nothing about TANTRA. Maybe that was the third or forth shot girl;-) You wanna try??

Rosie, too bad you don't know me. My wife does this and I love it. No need to be in a hurry, it's the trip, not the destination.
I don't know any man I have dealt with that would allow me to spend that much time massaging his penis!
A two part handjob video with no cumshot. Sorry. One star.
he is pretty slim lean but built. so fit pretty much. he was already pretty big before the handjob sohe is a grower, nice
should have used a woman's voice. WTF no cumshot!!!
This is for female audience. But still good to see.
he is extremely hot !!!
Who IS he? He has an awesome penis and balls. I would duck those all day every day. Makes a girl hungry some some serious cock.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIING!! Anybody can do that. There's no art to a damn handjob! If there was, guys wouldn't need a woman to do it!
this man has a beautiful penis. and the sensuality of it is what makes this vid great and more arousing than most of the others on this site!
@2 You are right! When i saw i was like WTF??!
How do I get his job?
sound like a vid at school xD
she has a lot of willpower. i would have my mouth ALL over that hot cock!
Can't wait to try that this morning on my friend Nick who loves massages. I told him I have new techniques. I hope I can remember it all :)
she would be better sucking his cock or riding him he'd be a lot happier and the "art" would be much more interesting, who knows people might jerk off to it lol.
Is it normal for the cock to twitch like that? It's really cute :)
Beautiful .... sensual *and* innocent. Those looking for hardcore has the rest of the 129,999 clips to keep them happy.
wow this is the most luky man of the heart
Very beautiful, both of them. They are practising something very different than what we think of as sex. This is an art. What a beautiful couple. He has a nice penis and great large balls!
This is a 5 star video, wow. I wish I was that pillow so I could smell her rear end.
Here's a concept for you: The Art Of The Lame Porno!!! Get some dude with a lisping creepy German accent to narrate, throw some dopey new age music behind it, and slather the performers with so much oil they look like greasy blobs.
so i have to rock him like a baby? what the hell?
@illyria89 Wow, he's really missing out then. A good handjob is awesome pleasure.
At least these vids have some class, wow what a change
i would give a massage like that, but my boyfriend don' t like things like that =(
where d fuck r Viv Thomas videos....????
I would do ANYTHING for a massage like that!
This looks amazing :)
Look like lots of fun. Bummer that there's no ending...
The "Art" of Handjob? I do this in the shower to myself every other day (yeah, those angles exactly). Liberal use of baby oil does not make it art. The first few minutes were somewhat bemusing - awfully reminiscent of Oedipus and Freud.

This short film on Member's Only Gentlemen's Clubs and London Club Life from 1965, may look dated and even slightly quaint, capturing a world of seedy Anthony Powell characters in run-down, thread-bare, drafty rooms, but in very real terms, little has changed.
The Old Boy's Network of privilege and power is still very much alive, and the British Establishment is probably now stronger than it has been in decades. Look at the celebrations for the Queen's Jubilee, or the sofa jingoism of the Olympics, or this week with the failure of the Church of England to vote in favor of Women Bishops, and now today, the appointment of Lord Tony Hall as the new Director General of the BBC.
Hall was chosen by Lord Christopher Patten, whose previous choice for DG had been the hapless "incurious" George Entwistle, the man who was forced to resign after 54 days in office. Now Patten has appointed Hall - without an interview - as the new DG.
Hall is a successful ex-BBC man, who currently runs the Royal Opera House. He may be a decent and honorable man, he may kiss dogs and pat babies, and help old age pensioners across the street, but he is a BBC man, steeped in the arcane and out-dated traditions of a Corporation that is out-of-touch with the reality of life in Britain. His appointment is rather like voting for a Mitt Romney rather than a Barack Obama, it's a wishful return to an illusory past, rather than moving forward into the present century. Even some of the effusive praise on twitter harks back to an older time - this from broadcaster David Dimbleby:
'A brilliant choice. It feels like being in the Royal Navy when they were told, "Winston is back!"'
It's strange that a previous era of strife, hardship, bigotry and division should be seen as commendable. Earlier this year, the up-market Daily Telegraph (of all broadsheets) reported on the analysis of "the make-up of the Lords found that 45 per cent of peers also had a London club such as the Garrick Club, Carlton Club or White's."
The [analysis], published in the journal Sociology, also showed the enduring power of Eton and Oxbridge, with around one in 10 of all members of the Lords educated at the Berkshire school whose past pupils also include David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
Dr Matthew Bond, a sociologist at London South Bank University, who conducted the study, said that it showed that, despite reforms, the Lords continued to be dominated by those with "vested interests in traditional status structures".
He said it showed that: "The persistent hold of the British establishment on the political imagination is not without reason."
Those who went to school at Eton showed a particular propensity to join such clubs, the study found, while they were also popular among this with a background in the military, civil service and the church.
"These groups – hereditaries, males, Old Etonians, Tories and, to a lesser extent, business people – have vested interests in traditional status structures," said Dr Bond.
"In their social characteristics they also closely mirror popular conceptions of an establishment which have featured in popular discussions of the British power structure since the 50s.
"If they do not have a monopoly over elite positions, they at least have a formidable presence."
This "formidable presence" is what links Tony Blair's working-class father's move from Glaswegian Communism to middle-England Toryism, with Eton-educated David Cameron belief that elitism in education will mend Britain's so-called "broken society." This "formidable presence" isn't tradition - it is the maintenance of an out-dated, misogynistic, divisive and malfunctioning Establishment.
Members Only is a fine snap shot of club life in the 1960s, which moves from gentlemen's clubs to casinos and then onto the bohemian hang outs, such as the Colony Room (look out for the legendary Muriel Belcher) and jazz clubs, where a young Annie Ross performs.

There are very few vehicles these days that hover around the $15K mark. As technology advances, prices increase.
But with the introduction of the 2018 Accent, Hyundai proves you can have a small slice of cake and eat it, too.
This all-new subcompact will come standard with a rear camera, Bluetooth phone pairing and cruise control. Base price for a 2018 Accent with a 6-speed manual transmission is $15,880, about $200 more than the outgoing model.
For 2018, Hyundai has also decided to streamline the trim strategy with just SE, SEL and Limited models. Each trim adds content, and there are no options available.
What you'll see as you move through the trims:
SE: 5-inch color infotainment screen with rear camera, steering wheel audio controls, cruise control, Bluetooth phone pairing, 60/40 split folding rear seat and a temporary spare tire.
SEL: 7-inch audio display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 15-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamp control, two USB charge ports and 4-wheel disc brakes.
Limited: forward collision avoidance, power sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, proximity key with push-button start, heated front seats and BlueLink Connected Services with a 3-year subscription.
What you won't see: A hatchback. Michael Evanoff, product planning manager for Hyundai Motor America, said only 15 to 20 percent of Accent sales were hatches. So axing the 5-door cuts down on costs and helps keep the trim strategy simple.
The 2018 Accent is equipped with a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine that delivers 130 horsepower and 119 pound-feet of torque. A manual transmission will be standard at the SE trim, with an automatic as an option. Currently the automatic adds $1,000 to the bottom line. SEL and Limited will both come standard with the automatic.
Fuel economy is rated at 32 mpg in combined driving.
During a recent Midwest Automotive Media Association meeting, we had the chance to take the new Accent for a quick spin, and first impressions are generally favorable.
Keeping in mind the price point is below $16K, Hyundai has done a great job making an entry-level car look more premium. The cloth seats are simple and attractive, and the exterior lines are clean and elegant.
There is some engine and road noise that creeps into the cabin, but it's a vast improvement over the previous generation, and it's about what you can expect from a vehicle in this class.
We only did a 15-minute loop on surface streets in the Accent, so it's hard to say how it will stand up to highway drives and more aggressive maneuvers. But we played around with the Sport mode a bit and found that it gave a quicker-off-the-line start and made the car generally more pleasant to drive.
The all-new Accent started to hit dealers in late 2017 and is currently on sale.

Chicago's 2nd Friday Art Crawl
Photos by G. Various Artists.
I visited Chicago recently and I wanted to tell you about one of the coolest things I discovered in the Windy City. On the second Friday of the month starting off on 18th and South Halstad Street from 6 – 10 PM, over 30 galleries in the area participate in an art crawl.
The art varied in size, shape and medium (including performance art) and on the night I went, the free event brought out a very mixed crowd, which was really inspiring to see. As we toured the various galleries, it gave an outsider like me a glimpse of the art community in Chicago.
Doing some research about the art walk made me like this even more as these spaces are owned by the Podmajersky family. They launched the Chicago Arts District (CAD) in 2002 with the goal of creating a destination art community and economic stability for artists looking to become entrepreneurs. That is so awesome, according2g!
You can read more about this really cool project and art walk on the official Chicago Arts District website. If you live in the Chicago area, you should definitely take advantage of this event and if you are visiting, you might want to plan a trip to coincide with the second Friday of the month.
Gail said,
It looks so cool! I heart art!

Thank you for posting the second Fridays in Pilsen and my sculptures !! You kick ass !!!
The G said,
Bryan – my friend and i absolutely LOVED your work!!!! Hope to see it someday in New York! 🙂

MoP feedback post, part 2.
This one is generating a (very small) amount of discussion, so it looks like I'm finally getting the ball rolling! You can find the post here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3764466623
And, below is a transcript of my post.
I have already posted once previously about my concerns with Frost Mage when the first talent calculator was released: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3595575292
Now, I am posting again, obviously, to ask about some of my new concerns - both pertaining to Frost spec and to Mages in general.
A. About Frost...
I see that Fingers of Frost was added back into the talents; thank goodness, as this is sort of the key to making the spec fun.
However, what worries me now is the wording on Fingers of Frost: "Your freezing effects that fail due to target immunity now grant the Fingers of Frost effect." I don't think this is a good idea. The wording is a bit vague; however, I foresee two problems with this, based on the two different interpretations I can think of:
1. "Freezing Effects" means chilling/movement slowing effects related to Frost spells.
This would be really lame, since FoF seems to have a 100% proc rate. Our rotation would come down to (Something-Ice Lance-Something-Ice Lance) ad infinitum. If "Freezing Effects" really refers to Frost-related movement slows, it would be much more fun with a percentage chance to proc.
2. FoF truly doesn't proc unless you fail to Freeze something.
This means that the only way to proc FoF is to try and Freeze the target. For starters, the only spell in our spellbook that actually Freezes targets is Frost Nova, which I'd rather not use as an integral part of my DPS rotation - why even be RDPS if we have to get into melee range? Now, to be fair, I'm aware that the Water Elemental likely still has Freeze; but, I still think this takes a huge part of the fun out of playing Frost Mage.
I saw in a blue post "Seeing the forest for the talent trees", a short section about picking classes based on flavor, and Mages were specifically addressed:
"There will still be some utility in the various specs, but less than we have today. You should pick a spec because you like the rotation or the kit. Fire is about crit, Hot Streak, and Ignite. Frost is about Shatter combos and the Water Elemental. Arcane is about mana management and clearing Arcane Blast stacks."
For what it's worth, I don't believe that either of these are technically what make Frost fun. The Water Elemental could be all-but removed if the Freeze ability was given to us and was off the GCD. Water Elemental doesn't have the variety and versatility of Hunter/Warlock pets (a given, since we only have one pet), and it doesn't even have the types of utility spells granted by Enhancement Shaman's Spirit Wolves. Water Elemental is just free FoF procs every 25 seconds.
I also disagree about Shatter making Frost fun. It's not like, "Woo, I got some ballin' crits, rock on Frost!" (cue Joe Satriani's Summer Song) If Shatter weren't in the game, right now, Frost would still be fun - even if their DPS would be terrible without it - because Frost's fun comes from intelligently making split-second decisions on how to spend or conserve incoming procs of FoF+BF.
Thus, if Pet Freeze were really the only way to get FoF procs, there wouldn't be any randomness, and no need to make any quick decisions. We already know exactly when we're gonna get FoF - every 25 seconds! And, since Brain Freeze doesn't appear to be affected by FoF, and Deep Freeze doesn't appear to do damage anymore (I'm aware that it might still deal damage, and it just isn't reflected in the tooltip; but, just in case...), there's also no necessary decisions to conserve procs anymore, either. Got FoF? Use an Ice Lance, right now. Got BF? Use a Frostfire Bolt, right now.
I'm aware that there are additional talents available in the Level 45 Tier which Freeze targets; however, having FoF always come from a Freezing spell means that FoF essentially has a cooldown, and making it absolutely predictable when we're going to get FoF charges is the exact opposite of what makes Frost fun right now, in my opinion. Not to mention, this would essentially force us to spec for Ice Ward all the time. This seems to contradict the reasons for changing the talent system in the first place, as this definitely isn't a choice; as it stands, if there's a Freezing spell anywhere in the talent tree, we're likely to get it unless it requires melee range (and maybe even then; who knows?).
If the argument would be made that this is less important now, what with all of Frost's new spells...I disagree. Simply having more cooldowns to use is not fun, unless they are somehow meaningful. Right now, every spell in Frost's rotation has meaning. What place do Frozen Orb (which doesn't proc FoF) and Frost Bomb have in our spec right now? They don't generate FoF procs, and since raid bosses can virtually never be Frozen, they'll never benefit from Shatter, anyways. They are not fun based on my perspective of what makes Frost fun, nor is it based on Ghostcrawler's! They're nothing more than additional cooldowns based on spells from another spec, serving only to homogenize all three (although I can at least see why Arcane Orb/Bomb are attractive, since you can increase their damage with Arcane Blast).
3. Frost Bomb
Will Frost Bomb even be better than Living Bomb for Frost? The damage is 1/4th of Living/Arcane Bomb's damage, and Living Bomb can be cast on three targets at once. That means we need four targets to Living Bomb's one target to do comparable damage with it. I realize this can combo with Shatter, but does that mean that Frost Bomb is going to suck without having a Freeze ready? Are we going to have to pull the reins on our single target DPS to do more AoE? Also, it's not unreasonable in AoE situations to have adds that could die in five seconds. Ten seconds, easily. That means we'd probably only get off one Frost Bomb, and maybe even zero if we're unlucky. Living Bomb just sounds more reliable and easier to use without having to curtail our DPS.
4. And now for something completely different:
Icy Veins. Still not a DPS cooldown that rewards us for playing the spec "properly", a la Combustion and Arcane Power. Any thoughts on changing this?
Those are my Frost-specific concerns. But, now...
B. Meaningful Decisions:
In a Mists of Pandaria FAQ that came out during Blizzcon, this was the reason given for the talent system overhaul:
"As with the talent-system redesign in Cataclysm, our goal is ultimately to give players more meaningful character-customization options and to eliminate "cookie-cutter" talent builds. We were only partially successful in realizing that goal in Cataclysm, as many talents still felt mandatory to a given specialization, and some talent choices in the trees were still not particularly interesting or exciting. By giving the benefits of the previously "mandatory" talents to players automatically as part of their specialization choice, and allowing any specialization to choose any given talent, we hope to be able to give players much more significant and interesting decisions to make about their character."
Right now, I still feel like there's some no-brainer decisions in our current talent tree. Let's go over it real quick:
Level 15: No problems. Heavy movement makes Scorch attractive, and low movement makes Presence of Mind attractive. Ice Flows is somewhere in-between the two.
Level 30: No problems. I honestly can think of a lot of fights this expansion where I would have taken Blazing Speed over Mana Shield or Ice Barrier (Atramedes, Ascendent Council, Al'Akir, Ragnaros, Blackhorn), so I'm not really sure why people don't like this option here. Mana Shield has its uses in PvP, but could possibly be made more attractive for PvE - maybe roll in the Incanter's Absorption talent as part of its ability?
Level 45: My main problem here is that Frost PvE is pretty much locked to Ice Ward. The argument could be made that Frostjaw gives us an additional interrupt; but, if we're going to sacrifice DPS for an interrupt (that is, getting 1 FoF charge instead of potentially getting 2, not 'wasting' a global where I could be doing damage), I'm pretty sure the rest of the raid can pick up my "second" interrupt after Counterspell. Otherwise, I can see this tier is being an interesting one for Fire and Arcane.
Level 60: No problems. Greater Invisibility sounds great, and Invisibility was really strong on certain fights (Atramedes if you were running during air phase, Chimaeron P2). Cold Snap's mana regen makes it sound pretty sexy, not to mention I won't have to use it at the start of a fight as Frost - maybe now I can actually use two Ice Blocks! Cauterize is obviously good, and I don't think it's quite the no-brainer that other people do. You can't use Cauterize as a crutch, since it has a 2 minute internal cooldown (that's maybe three times in a raid boss?). And, if a Mage is banking that hard on Cauterize, there might be a bigger underlying problem.
Level 75: I've never thought that Heavy Polymorph was interesting, even in Arcane. I know no Arcane Mages who ever pick it up in PvE, and people who trinket out of Polymorph in PvP aren't affected by the stun. Looking at it that way, we'd need to cast two Polymorphs in PvP, giving us a ranged stun with a 3.4 second base cast. Maybe other people feel differently; but, I've never found anything useful or fun about this talent.
Level 90: I don't see any meaningful decision to be made here at all. I can't imagine an Arcane Mage ever picking up Living Bomb or Frost Bomb when they could be doing more damage with Arcane Bomb. The same is true for Fire; why get a "Bomb" that doesn't synergize with our spec?
I also am not convinced anyone would take Frost Bomb - not even a Frost Mage, either, for the reasons I stated earlier. I don't believe that anyone who PvPs would use Frost Bomb, either. It's an extremely delayed movement slow, and I would be willing to bet that it's more trouble than it's worth to try and plan your battle strategy around getting in range to be hit with spells/Charged/Death Gripped/Shadow Stepped/Wolf Stunned/etc. and waiting four seconds. For a movement slow.

Level 45 - Having an interrupt AVAILABLE, though, is an amazing option. Think of it more for Heroics, where you get into a group in Well of Eternity with a Warlock, a BM Hunter, and a Shadow Priest, and no one can interrupt Azshara. I think it's more for these situations than raid ones.ReplyDelete
I don't know enough about the other talents to really comment, but you have to remember that the ability to switch the talents on the fly is what is going to make them key. Like, who would ever take Frost Bomb as Fire? Well, maybe in a situation like Bethtilac where you need to slow a mass group of adds. Where as seconds earlier, on Beth trash, you used Living Bomb like you normally would.
The new talent systems are very much less "do I bring a longsword or a longbow" and more "which arrow in my quiver do I use?", IMO.

W.D. Gann, a successful stock and commodity trader, developed multiple technical analysis tools based on geometric angles. These were used to draw lines on charts to help identify important support and resistance areas where each angle was a division of time and price. These angles, when drawn in groups, are what make up the Gann fan, which is a useful indicator for all technical traders. Based on Gann's geometric angles, it can be used to identify important support and resistance levels as well as measure relative performance.
Gann fan application is rooted in basic trendline analysis, which is instructive in understanding how and why the Gann fan is used. A quick review — focusing on the elements that apply to Gann's approach to trading — will lay the foundation for a discussion about Gann fans.
Trendline review
Trendlines are one of the most accessible and most widely used tools in technical analysis. They typically are drawn during directional market price movement. An uptrend is drawn up and to the right as the trend continues to make higher-highs and higher-lows over time, while the downtrend is drawn down and to the right as the trend continues to make lower-highs and lower-lows over time.
The most basic definition of a trend is a typical uptrend (downtrend) will need two highs (lows) to provide evidence of a trend and three highs (lows) to confirm that the trend is valid. Another important point about trends is that the longer a trend has been intact, and the greater the number of times it has been tested (the number of times that the support or resistance levels have held after being reached), the greater the significance of the trend and the less likely that the trendline will be broken.

UCLA Anderson is set for the 2008 Knapp Venture Competition presented by the Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. The student-run event gives students with concrete business plans an opportunity for experiential learning in venture initiation, with the added bonus of prize money awarded to the five finalists.
The finale will take place at 5pm Wednesday, May 21st in Korn Hall, the culmination of an extended process that began with team formations in winter quarter, before kicking into high gear when teams first submitted their business plans in early April.
Contestants will present their ideas in front of a panel of judges, composed largely of venture capitalists and successful entrepreneurs, many of whom are Anderson alumni. Cash prizes include $15,000 for the 1st place winner; the five finalists will take home a total of over $31,000. In addition to the monetary rewards, the presence of numerous venture capitalists at the finals provides competitors with valuable exposure for their budding enterprises.
This year's finalists include Crazy Cart, a venture offering a zero-resistance drift cart; CityMedia, an India-based chain of media and entertainment zones; Float, an online personal finance tool; Perseus Medical, offering solutions for endoscopic procedures; and Synlixir Therapeutics, Inc., a biotech initiative.
Last year, the Knapp winner was Tastination, a distinctive tour company and Web portal that helps variety-seeking individuals and food lovers discover authentic ethnic cuisine in social settings.
Knapp is open to the public. Presentations will be followed by a reception and the winner announcements in the Entrepreneurs Hall atrium at 9:00 pm.

Established in 1985, New York Agriculture in the Classroom (NYAITC) is a partnership of Cornell University, the NYS Department of Ag & Markets, the NYS Education Department, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and the New York Farm Bureau. Its mission is to foster awareness, understanding, and appreciation of how we produce food and fiber, what we eat, and how we live, by helping educators, students, and their communities learn about and engage with agriculture and food systems.
Last year, 2000 books were donated to school or classroom libraries and books were read by volunteers to thousands of second graders throughout New York State.
STEM careers and post-secondary opportunities related to the grape industry are also growing in our state; from grape production, research, crop management, processing, tourism, and hospitality. It will be essential for our students to understand the importance of grapes as an economic driver in communities across New York, and develop an awareness for future career possibilities. All lessons, activities, and companion materials are aligned to the Common Core Learning Standards.
Volunteers will visit local elementary schools during Ag Literacy Week to read and talk to children about New York's agriculture industry. At the conclusion of the day's activities, the book will be donated to the school library for students and teachers to use throughout the school year. 2nd grade teachers and volunteers who are interested in participating in NY Ag Literacy Week should call or email the contact for this page. Visit the New York State Ag in the Classroom website to learn more about statewide activities and to learn about agriculture-themed books that have been featured in other years.

The Royal Shakespeare Company is probably the world's most famous drama company. It specialises in plays by William Shakespeare, although the works of other Renaissance playwrights are regularly produced. The Royal Shakespeare Theatre is also a showcase for contemporary writers.
In 1875, Charles Edward Flower, a Stratford brewer, launched an international campaign to build a theatre in Shakespeare's birthplace. He donated a two-acre site on the banks of the River Avon and The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was built there. It opened in 1879 with a performance of Much Ado About Nothing. The company was granted a Royal Charter in 1925 but a year later the theatre burnt down. A worldwide campaign was launched to build a new theatre and 1932 the new Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, designed by Elizabeth Scott, was opened by the Prince of Wales on 23rd April, 1932, Shakespeare's birthday.
In 1960 Peter Hall formed the modern Royal Shakespeare Company and The Memorial Theatre was renamed the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
The Swan Theatre was opened in 1986. It is a modern theatre based on the design of Elizabethan theatres with intimate performances created by the close proximity of the audience to the actors.
The Royal Shakespeare Theatre goes from strength to strength and in the 21 st century it is more popular than ever. In spite of its international status it has changed very little during the past century. It retains the purity of its original spirit.
Stratford-upon-Avon is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company. A small town, it has become an international centre for dramatic art, attracting the biggest names in the field.
London also plays an important role in the life of the RSC. The Company performs in London throughout the year in different theatres.
In 1977 Newcastle became a third centre for the RSC. Each year the company transfers productions to the city's theatres for a season of work, together with a range of educational and community projects.

Hi Frank,
If you are still looking for this , try this link/site:
It confirms that Christie and Rigg did appear in the RSC's Comedy of Errors in 1963, as you remembered.
Frank Hannigan says:
On our honeymoon in Dec 1963 my wife and I saw rhe RSC do "A
Comedy of Errors" on London. It was beyond wonderful. I THINK
the cast included Diana Rigg and Julie Christie. Is there some way I
can obtain the names of the cast or anything else about the production?
Thanks for your consideration.

This is the MUSICAL COMEDY SHOW you don't want to miss!!!
Mauricio Herrera, Finalist on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT 2011, as seen Featured on NBC4 Channel News Los Angeles, "E" Entertainment News, Entertainment Tonight, The Talk, Extra TV and many more...
Having been seen and admired by over 98 MILLION PEOPLE on the 7 times he was on America's Got Talent last Season (Average of 14 Million per episode) & with over 195.000 Fans on his Social Networks; Mauricio Herrera began entertaining at the age of 5, performing anywhere and everywhere he was invited, always with the support and encouragement ofhis father. Over the course of his lifetime, Mauricio has built a solid career as a Singer, Showman, Talk Show TV Host, and over all Entertainer with a following and fan base which spans not only North America but to Central & South America as well.
Originally from Orange, California, this virtual one-man entertainment machine known as Mauricio rose from humble beginnings to become the rising Super Star that he is today. However, it was his family's decision to return to their native Costa Rica that allowed his musical talent and career to really blossom and begin to pave the way to the success he has achieved to date.
High school years consisted not only of conventional studies, but also participation in numerous singing festivals, and musical activities including televised events. An inherent connection with live audiences combined with his on camera appearances inspired this natural-born entertainer to take his aspirations to an even higher level. Mauricio continued to develop his signature style of crooning the classics and covers including popular standards immortalized by Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. He soon became known by the nicknames "ELVIS TICO" (Costa Rican Elvis) and "FRANTICO" (Costa Rican SINATRA) throughout the country. Still in his teens, Herrera found himself performing professionally for a variety of television shows, which greatly increased his appeal and garnered him widespread media recognition in Costa Rica. At age 17, he received one of many enormous opportunities being hired and mentored by well- known and highly respected artist, Paco Navarrete. From there on, his star soared to new heights.
Just two years later, this Latino showman seized the opportunity of a lifetime when he became the lead singer and front man for the popular Central American group "Banzai." This role led to an incredible experience as the opening act for renowned musical artists, such as ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, JOAQUIN SABINA, MIGUEL RIOS AND ALEJANDRO FERNANDEZ, and others.
All the critical recognition he attained thrust Mauricio even further into the limelight and propelled him towards the career he had always dreamed of---having success as a solo act. While such a move is often hit or miss for many recording artists, this decision catapulted Herrera to even greater heights By the end of 2002 Mauricio decided to move back to the United States in pursuit of his biggest dream of all… becoming the most successful Latin entertainer in North America.
Unfortunately, he encountered a major setback in 2005 when his father and manager Carlos Herrera, whom he still refers to as
"his biggest fan," died after a long battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
After taking some time away to be with his family, Herrera knew that it was time to get his career goals back on track. Realizing that tackling the North American market would take a lot of hard work, Herrera dedicated himself totally
to his craft by improving his performance skills and presentation in English as well as Spanish.
In late 2010, while seeking a viable means of gaining national
television exposure, Mauricio made the decision that would change his life
forever by signing up to audition for NBC's America's Got Talent Season 6 thinking that there was no better fast track platform to expose his talent to not only the USA but also the entire world. For the first audition he traveled to Seattle Washington and waited in line for hours just like so many others for a chance to audition in front ofthe Celebrity Judges. His audition was recorded on March 2nd, actually airing on June 7th. He classified and moved on to The Las Vegas Show which took place on May 2011.Despite the fact that he was fighting a bout of the Flu, he made an impression upon all the Judges and was unanimously moved to the Quarter Finals program in Hollywood for the Live Shows. By the time his turn arrived on the Quarter Finals, Mauricio had lost nearly 20 pounds in order to become more "camera friendly" and he had worked long hours improving every single aspect of his performance. In Hollywood he was afforded a wide variety of resources unavailable in previous auditions such as a professional hair and makeup stylist, a stage manager, camera director, choreographer, dancers, back-up vocals, lighting, vocal coaching, professional monitoring and rehearsals. These amenities enhanced both his signature look and his performance levels.
Mauricio's efforts and sacrifice were evident in the level of confidence he showed when he stepped on the AGT Stage. The Hollywood performance was by far his best to date and his fans agreed. Performing flawlessly a medley of ELVIS PRESLEY'S "Viva Las Vegas" and TOM JONES'S "Delilah", he literally made the audience along with Judge Howie Mandel stand up cheering him on from start to finish.
Overnight his fan base, Twitter, Facebook and social media numbers skyrocketed! An actual group was formed known as the "Mauri Warriors."
To date, he has released 3 albums featuring cover songs: "EL ULTIMO BESO" (The Last Kiss) Released in Costa Rica, "ASI ES COMO TE GUSTA?" (Is That How You Like It?) Released in the US and "MAURICIO EN EL NORTE" (Mauricio In The North) also released in the US and one "Ahora!" (Now) featuring his own Original Music.

GateHouse News Service�The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.� � Thomas Jefferson.
One of the problems in discussing gun control is that many people, including many gun-rights advocates, have lost sight of why we have a Second Amendment.
The Founding Fathers didn�t give it to us to protect our right to hunt, target shoot or collect guns.
We have the right to keep and bear arms because the Founding Fathers were frightened of centralized government. They spent a hot summer in Philadelphia creating a central government that wouldn�t become too powerful, fearful that someone, perhaps with the best of intentions, would propose the federal government engage in things it wasn�t expressly authorized to do. (That could never happen here, could it?)
A very weak federal structure was established, leaving most of the power to states. Even without a Second Amendment, we�d still retain the right to �keep and bear arms.�
Still, the federalists pushing this new government met resistance. To allay citizens� fears, they gave us the Bill of Rights.
Alexander Hamilton actually argued against the Bill of Rights on the grounds that it may plant a seed in someone�s mind that if a topic were even mentioned in The Constitution, then it must be something the federal government could meddle with.
Federalist Paper No. 84: �Why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? � it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power.�
(Hamilton was right. Ever hear a gun-control advocate argue about the meaning of �well-regulated militia�?)
What happened in Colorado is obviously despicable. Arguing about gun control so shortly after that terrible act is perhaps more so.
The reason the two sides can�t come together is because there�s a fundamental misunderstanding of the others� position.
Gun-rights advocates are fearful that things that happened in Germany, China or Cuba could happen here.
Gun-control advocates don�t seem to really mind, so long as �free� health care is provided in exchange for our guns.
That�s why it�s so difficult to come together on this issue.

DARKVEIL - English/European ex DAoC guild - PvE & PvP
Darkveil is a Guild Wars 2 guild for English speaking, active but non hardcore, mature players. Whilst we like to get regular events and raids organised, we also respect that our members have real lives outside the game and that the game is for enjoyment. We pride ourselves on a relaxed and fun attitude to the games that we play.
About the Guild
Currently organised by Darkveil members from Dark Age of Camelot days from the Prydwen server. We have re formed and are expanding the guild as we will be committed to Guild Wars 2 for quite a while (We played DAOC on various servers from 2001 to 2010).
Guild Aims
Our goal is to make Darkveil a successful and respected guild where members can play the game with friends, achieve what they want, but without the pressures of a hardcore guild. Above all, we would like GW2 with Darkveil to be a place where you can come to relax and have some fun. We will help players that want help but would also encourage members to help each other. It is your game and your guild and it is up to you how and when you want to play.
We will run regular events for PvE and WvW, encourage progression and interaction between members but will not make any event mandatory.
We all have families, jobs, studies and other commitments outside the game and understand that there must be a balance between game time and real life. We welcome players of all types. Whether they are crafters, pve only, pvp orientated or a mix of playstyles, then there is a place for them in Darkveil.
At "End Game", WvW will be the focus of many of our players, but there will also be a requirement for gear etc to be successful so expect lots of PvE as well if that's what you prefer. We will aid our members in obtaining the necessary gear or ranks in order to progress.
Guild expansion and organisation
As the guild expands we will be looking for interested and active players to take on roles (such as profession leader or WvW group leader) if they so wish. By helping to organise events and aid guildies, members can become an integral part of the guild and in doing so, can also make their own progression in game more successful and enjoyable.
Age requirement
We accept all like minded, mature players over 20 years of age. (Our current age base varies from 20 to 47).
Brief History
Darkveil was founded in 2001 by Sydyshka and Kyarak as a Dark Age of Camelot guild. For the guild founders it was our first MMO, but little did we know how the world of MMOs would become an integral part of our lives over the coming years. Originally formed by a group of 6 adventureres that regularly leveled together, Darkveil quickly grew to over 100 members, doing regular guild hunts, RvR, keep takes and forays into Darkness Falls.
As the game progressed and populations changed, we were no longer able to run the guild solo so we merged with other guilds and successfully ran as part of the Fallen Spirits throughout the "TOA" period.
Eventually, with the decline of DAoC and the rise of other, more popular MMOs, our members eventually drifted apart into other games.
Over the years we have played DAOC, Star War Galaxies, WoW, Conan online, Warhammer online, Tabula Rasa, LoTRO, Aion and most recently, Rift and the ill fated SWTOR. Through all those other MMOs there has always been a desire to have a game like DAOC, where we had a relaxed and friendly guild and great fun doing RvR. With the emergence of GW2, this offers the closest thing to old DAOC RvR but with modern game technology, playstyle, combat systems, plus the dynamic event pve system. All of these features make the game to most exciting MMO for years and one in which we hope Darkveil can be a successful part.
If you are interested in being part of Darkveil in GW2, please take a visit to our revamped forums at:
Thanks for taking the time to read this post and I hope to see you in game or on the forums fairly soon.

Sequestration is not an abstract concept for Bandelier National Monument Superintendent Jason Lott.
The possible looming reduction of government spending may be felt by park visitors this season.
"The fiscal situation is already tight, even before the sequestration. If we indeed do have to take a five percent cut it's going to cut deep," Lott said. "Until now, we've tried to keep these fiscal impacts away from the public. We have tried to protect opportunities and programs and our mission to provide enjoyment. With sequestration, there will be some public impacts, regrettably."
One of Lott's greatest concerns is search and rescue.
"We get anywhere from five to 20 of those a year. I don't have staff coverage, so my ability to respond when we have an SAR is impacted. I have to bring people in and rely more heavily on the state and other resources, which just means it takes longer for us to support those activities," Lott said.
"If someone gets hurt in the park, we're going to have to rely on 911, as opposed to having a staff member on full coverage like we usually have. And we won't have EMTs always on, although we'll try to reduce that to times when there's low visitation."
Lott already has a hiring freeze, is furloughing staff and will not be hiring regular seasonal staff.
"We hire a lot of locals. We're not going to be able to hire them this year," Lott said. "Every year is different based on project funding and other needs of the park, but I'm estimating 40 jobs — some local and some not–being impacted this year."
Some seasonal staff may be hired for special projects that are already funded. But those are also delayed, and a six-week hiring process means special projects workers may not be on board until mid-summer. Since many of those hires are college students, completing the projects could be difficult.
The hiring freeze could have long-term impacts.
"Right now, I'm short key positions in the park. We're missing an administrative officer, a facility manager, one of our Vanishing Treasures staff, one our administrative assistants and one of our law enforcement rangers," Lott said. "When that key position is not filled, someone has to step up and take on some of those duties, and then some duties just don't get accomplished. And not only does that affect the visitor and the services that we're doing, but it also affects our abilities in future years."
Not having the staff to compete for grants and funding is a major issue, according to Lott.
"Next year's the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, and I wanted to get some trailhead projects done for that," Lott said. "2016 is the 100 year anniversary for Bandelier National Monument and the National Park Service. I'm trying to compete for money for those years so we can get some major projects done and other things to celebrate that milestone for us, and the ability to prepare for that is being deteriorated quite a bit. I don't have the support of staff to accomplish goals for those deals."
Lott is doing his best to maintain special programs such as the Bandelier Opera, naturalization ceremonies, Fall Fiesta and other events, but he cannot be sure he will have the resources to do so.
The loss of long-standing programs also weighs on Lott's mind, such as twice yearly day camps run by ranger Chris Judson. The program may be cancelled if Judson is needed to cover the visitor center.
"We have parents that took that course with Chris 20 years ago and now their children are going through it," Lott said. "I just hate for us to lose a program like that which has had such great longevity. And if you miss a year, and then you miss a second year of a program, chances are you're going to lose it forever."
Lott said the park is looking for volunteers.
"Our dependence upon volunteers is more critical than ever," Lott said. "If we had people that had an interest in working at our entrance station, who really like to visit with people, we could staff our entrance station with a volunteer and we could maintain that personal touch and that critical element for the visitor experience."
Volunteers can be trained to do special programs, give tours or work in the fire tower. Lott would also love to have volunteers with specialized skills, such as trained electricians or woodworkers.
Lott's anxiety about the situation is palpable.
"It concerns me that we're where we are today, and so many of our visitor services are being impacted: campgrounds, programming, trails, quality of their experience here," Lott said. "Our mission here is to protect resources for the enjoyment of the visiting public, and at this point in time, we're being cut into our mission. And that's a concern for me and the staff."

Have you found the secret password hidden in the October issue of Smithsonian magazine? Some solvers have written to us in bewilderment, confident that they've completed the first puzzle but upset that their password doesn't seem to work.
To those of you who feel sure that your password is right but have been foiled by the website, I say: look closer–especially if you're using a digital version of the magazine! You are probably agonizingly close to the correct password. Double-check your work. Look again.

Every few months, it seems, we hear a new version of an old story: the maker of an expensive smartphone announces it won't be upgraded to the latest version of Android, and consumers cry foul.
But this one is different. First, Motorola told customers they would upgrade the phones for 18 months after they came out, a statement that drove sales of the devices. Second, Google owns both Android and Motorola, making it all the more puzzling why the business units didn't work together to make an upgrade happen.
Finally, there are signs that for some Android devotees, Motorola's abandonment of its year-old phones is the last straw.
To me, the interesting part of this isn't Motorola breaking its promise — although I'd be plenty steamed if I'd bought a phone based on it — but the obvious technical difficulty of updating a phone that uses one version of Android to a new version. If it were easy, we wouldn't have the fragmentation mess.
Google has gone from saying that upgrades didn't matter much to encouraging phone makers to guarantee them to helping manufacturers to get to work on updates more quickly. But for now, when you buy an Android phone, you shouldn't assume anything at all about when, or if, you'll get an upgrade. And most of the time, most new phones aren't running the latest version of the software. (At the moment, that's Jelly Bean — if Motorola had gotten its 2011 phones to run Ice Cream Sandwich, they'd still be out of date.)
I understand that getting an operating system to run on hundreds of phones from a bevy of manufacturers is far tougher than making it run only on hardware you build yourself. That's why iPhone buyers know they'll get updates the moment a new version of iOS is ready, while Android buyers don't know what to expect. But as I keep saying, I don't think that Google and phone makers have the option of ignoring the problem. The longer it festers, the more often it'll come back to bite them, and their customers.
I mean, it can't be good for Motorola to tick off customers so badly that they go out of their way to avoid its products in the future, can it?

Keith Weston
Keith Weston was born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He attended UNC-CH where he earned a BA in English and Philosophy in 1984. His family (both sides) can trace roots in NC back to the 1770s and 80s.
Keith has always had an interest in radio. He built an AM transmitter from a Radio Shack kit when he was 7 and began broadcasting to his neighbors. For more than 12 years, Keith also ran an alternative music on-line radio station, Deeper Into Music.
Since then he's worked in both commercial and non-commercial radio - from classic rock to country music - landing at WUNC in 1987.
Keith hosted classical music and co-hosted the afternoon mix of jazz, classical, folk, and news on WUNC until 2001. Since then he's been a producer/director for The State of Things and currently is the station's web master and Back Porch Music host on Sunday evenings.
In his early teens he collected QSL cards by listening to shortwave stations broadcasting from Holland, Australia, USSR, South Africa, Canada, China, and dozens of other locations. He still dusts off his shortwave set from time to time to try to pull in a distant station.
Here's a video of Keith pulling in Radio Australia one morning in his home office:
Keith is interested in a wide range of music, from Gyorgi Legetti to Yo La Tengo and collects obscure 1960s psychedelic recordings. He owns a guitar - but hasn't yet fully captured the nuances of "Smoke on the Water." He admits to being an Internet addict, reads too much E. A. Poe (his favorite) and likes watching movies by his distant relative, Oliver Hardy (of Laurel and Hardy fame).
Keith's radio resume includes stints spinning adult contemporary hits at WCHL (Chapel Hill), playing hot country music at now-defunct WRBX (Durham), spinning "North Carolina's BEST rock" at WKZL (Winston-Salem), college radio DJing for WXYC (Chapel Hill). He also briefly played classical music at WFDD (Winston-Salem) and spun tunes at college radio station WXDU (Durham).

Support for a religious exemption to the contraceptive mandate in the U.S. health reform plan is stronger among Catholics than among the general population, according to a survey released on Feb. 14 by Pew Forum researchers. According to the survey, 55 percent of Catholics who have heard about the controversy support giving religious institutions that object to the use of contraceptives an exemption from the regulation, while 39 percent oppose such an exemption. The figures were reversed for respondents without a religious affiliation. Among Catholics who attend church at least once a week, 63 percent said they favored a religious exemption, while 25 percent said religious organizations should be required to cover contraception the same way as other employers. White evangelical Protestants were even more likely to support the religious exemption, with 68 percent in favor and 22 percent opposed.

Paul Kruger has been a beast all post season long when i've watched him play, I particularly like his ability to get after the quarterback. Since Baltimore will most likely give Flacco a huge 20 million contract and use their franchise tag on him which leaves Kruger up for the takings. There will be plenty of teams who will go after him for sure though. This team tends to spend big bucks in Veteran D-Line so this isn't out of their philosophy. (Mebane, Bryant, Clems)
Another thing I really enjoyed seeing from the Baltimore is on key downs they always send the house to pressure the QB. That 4 down stand in the endzone was pretty amazing. But they also sent the entire house going after Colin. I'm sure if Gus was in that situation he would have ran prevent secondary with 4 down rushers and everyone else in coverage giving Colin all day to throw.
