At one point we were randomly in the formal dining room (fine, we chased the cat in there, whatever!) and she looked out the front window, pointed and said "That's Wendy's car." I have absolutely no idea how she recognized my CAR, but she did and it was.
We play this game I call "going up high," where we face each other and I grab her under the armpits and hold her up as high as I can. She puts her feet on top of my shoulders, like she's standing there, but I'm holding her weight, and then she reaches her arms up as high as she can and roars with happy laughter. She is much, much too big to be held this way but she loves it, so I still do it.
WELL. Yesterday she was a bit cranky so I asked her if she wanted to go up high but she looked pouty and said NO. I thought she was just being stubborn, so I grabbed her up anyway. As it turns out, she wasn't kidding and once I lifted her up, she started flailing and I got a bit kicked in the face. So totally my own fault. But I was scared I might drop her, so I twisted or something, I don't even know, trying to get her put back on the floor and jacked up my back. *whimperwhine* It hurt so bad yesterday but is mostly better this morning.
I came home and watched Supernatural and Survivor (why is Coach SUCH A WANKER??) and went to bed.
The roses in my backyard and the daisies in my front yard are GORGEOUS right now. They are totally my happy place for the moment.
Today I have to write a paper that's due, uhm today. Mostly I'm just tearing apart one I wrote for a previous class and putting it together in a different order, so I don't think it'll be too tough to finish. Tonight I'm having dinner with some old friends that I haven't seen in about seven years. EXCITING.
*taps fingers* This seems to be all I have to talk about right now. Later gators!

Training To Run Better, Farther
There's a lot to love about running. It's a great way to burn calories, improve your cardiovascular fitness, and even socialize with other runners. But as most runners know, it's also a great way to build your confidence and self-esteem.
For a real confidence booster, running races is a great way to up the ante and challenge yourself. Whether it's a 5K fun-run or a serious marathon, you set a goal months ahead of time and work hard to reach it. When race day finally arrives, you might question your ability, but you try, and you succeed. All this can do wonders for your self-esteem because you're meeting and beating a challenge.
But it's not like you can go from a quick morning jog to a marathon in a few days. You must slowly train to run better and farther. That means finding the right places near you to train, building up your endurance, and staying safe.
Finding The Right Place To Train
Before you can build up to running big races, you need a safe, effective place to run. Thankfully, that's not too hard to find. Another great thing about running is that you don't need to find a court or track, though you do need to be smart about it. Running in the city and suburbs means paying attention to traffic, whether it's cars, bikes, or people. But be careful with Google Maps or GPS apps, as buildings can interfere with your phone or watch. It's also best to avoid routes that are heavy with traffic or full of potholes.
Rather than randomly search for a great running route, try asking a local runner. If you don't know anyone in person, look online for running clubs or forums dedicated to running in your area. Then ask them for any good routes they've used in the past. You can also research online, and try to find pedestrian-friendly routes in your neighborhood.
Building Up To Bigger Races
Once you have your routes in place, it's time to start the serious training. First, don't set a marathon as your goal unless you're an experienced runner. Choose a race that's best for your ability but that offers a challenge. By training progressively over several months, you can reach your goal more comfortably and with less risk of injury.
Start by focusing on your aerobic development. Think of this as training to train. You need the cardiovascular development to run longer and farther. Keep your runs around 30-40 minutes, and alternate between a simple pace and cross-training days (where you swim, cycle, etc.). You can even start by walking if you're not used to intense exercise.
Keeping Safe While Running Races
One of the biggest health obstacles when training is dehydration. Your body temperature increases when you run, and a hot summer day will speed up the process. Dehydration means less blood pumping to the muscles, which in turn means less oxygen reaching your muscles, which is why being dehydrated can lead to cramps and muscle spasms. Before your run, do a warmup and then stretch and loosen up. Focus on your ankles, knees, and hips to get your body ready to run. After your route is over, spend some time cooling down by walking and stretching. This helps alleviate muscle soreness later in the day. If you're tired of the same old morning job, maybe it's time to push yourself. You CAN run better and farther. Just be sure to take it slow and steady. Find the right place to train, build up to longer distances and speed, and make sure you stay safe along the way.

Surprise announcement made at ETEC annual awards luncheon
ORAU President and CEO Andy Page presented a $100,000 donation for the International Friendship Peace Pavilion during a surprise announcement at the East Tennessee Economic Council's annual awards luncheon on Friday.
The plans for the new International Friendship Bell Peace Pavilion, which includes moving the 8,000-pound bronze cast bell from its current location in Alvin K. Bissell Park in Oak Ridge to another location within the park, were unveiled recently.
Organizers and volunteers have now raised $525,000 in the drive to build the new Peace Pavilion. They have said it could cost $750,000 to build the new structure and pavilion.
According to www.friendshipbell.com, the bell "symbolizes peace and international friendship into the future," and "the vision is to house the International Friendship Bell in a Peace Pavilion. This new design will bring a larger plaza around the bell and pavilion, making it a site for gathering, thoughtful reflection and observing the bronze work of art."
ORAU wanted to do its part to help make the relocation of the Friendship Bell within Bissell Park and the addition of the Peace Pavilion a reality, a press release said.
"In an effort to help preserve Oak Ridge's historical heritage and take care of our neighbor, the International Friendship Bell that is located across the street from ORAU's main campus, ORAU decided to make this donation," Page said in the press release said. "ORAU is proud to remain a strong pillar of the Oak Ridge community since 1947."
ORAU provides innovative scientific and technical solutions to advance national priorities in science, education, security, and health. Through specialized teams of experts, unique laboratory capabilities and access to a consortium of more than 100 major Ph.D.-granting institutions, ORAU works with federal, state, local, and commercial customers to advance national priorities and serve the public interest. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and federal contractor, ORAU manages the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Fire resistance
Both high quality appearance and certified fire protection
Fire protection is an important part of building planning. Together with its solution partner Straehle, TRIMline provides planners and architects with comprehensive advice on the application. Straehle system walls meet both German and European fire safety specifications.
Systems 2000 and 2300 combine fire protection and high aesthetic standards. They were tested and certified by appropriate institutions. Our system walls are available in fire-resistant versions in accordance with F 30 fire retardant class when required. In the solid wall version, System 2000 can also meet the F 90 class fire resistance requirements.
The flush bonded SG 100 door system meets the requirements of the RS-1 and RS-2 smoke protection as well as the requirements of the fire protection fittings (FSA). Available as single-leaf or double-leaf doors. When used in conjunction with 2300 glass partition walls, the system provides transparency and aesthetics with reliable fire and smoke protection. The system elements related to other fire protection also fit to the uniform design of the Straehle partition walls.
Fulfillment of fire protection specifications
Together with our solution partner, Straehle, we support architects and planners to fulfil fire protection standards by using our systems. What connection status can be realized? Our solution partner Straehle has tested and confirmed several partition wall systems and connection combinations. We can provide the necessary tender texts, test certificates and building inspection documents.
Fire protection elements
The non-bearing inner walls stop the spreading of flames, heat and smoke. There is a distinction between the fire retardant F30 and F90 fire-resistant walls. For example, in the case of F30 fire resistance, the room should remain closed for at least 30 minutes and the temperature rise on the side away from the fire should not exceed 180 K.
Fire resistance fittings (FSA) / Fire protection doors
are fire-retardant or fire-resistant walls and doors in the openings of fire walls. The task of fire-resistant fitting is to stop the fire or to prevent it from spreading for a certain period of time. T30, T90 and T120 fire resistance values are distinguished. Fire-resistance fittings must be self-closing by definition (door closer).

Insuring Against the Unforseen
Why Do We Need Loan Protection Insurance?
The purpose, put as simply as possible, is to ensure that you are not without a safety net in the case of unforeseen financial difficulty. Also known as payment protection insurance, it is primarily applied to major loans like mortgages and car loans. However, those are not necessarily the only types of loans with which this type of policy can be used. The most important question, of course, is whether this type of policy is a worthwhile investment.
A loan protection insurance policy will ensure that you do not lapse in your payments in the event of unforeseen financial difficulties, such as if you become sick or injured or are laid off from your job. Different schemes will have different requirements for when and how they will pay out, but this general principle applies to virtually all of them.
Types of Policy and Where to Buy
Quite a few companies that offer loans for cars, houses and similar major purchases now offer loan protection insurance as well. However, this option will not always be a good financial value. If you decide that this type of protection is a worthwhile purchase, make sure you shop around for the best deal before committing to the first available option. In quite a few cases, an independent company will be able to offer you a significantly better deal. You can also use comparison sites like uSwitch.com where you can compare deals from all of the main providers and find the best policy to suit your purpose.
Read the Small Print
Most loan protection policies will require you to be gainfully employed at the time you take out the policy. Different policies will cover your payments in varying situations and for varying periods of time (12 to 24 months is fairly standard), so make sure you thoroughly understand all details of the policy you are considering before you commit to it. Some policies will also require you to wait for a certain period of time after you become unemployed or incapacitated, such as 30 to 90 days, before you are permitted to file a claim. As with all financial matters, it s vital that you read the small print with particular attention to the exceptions. This effectively means the circumstances under which the policy will not pay out (and there will be a few of those!)
Although basically accomplishing the same purpose, these plans be divided into four separate categories:
Mortgage Payment Protection
As you can probably guess from the name, is designed to cover only your monthly mortgage payment in a financial crisis. This would generally cover you for periods of unemployment and most often will stipulate a minimum period that you must have been contuously employed prior to making a claim
Income Payment Protection
Generally paid out only for some form of incapacity or health related issue and tends to cost more, but lasts for a long time – even up to retirement age. This is an important way of ensuring that you can continue with both your lifestyle and your financial commitments should your earnings capacity be curtailed by health issue
Loan repayment protection can be set up to cover all of your major monthly loan payments, include those for your mortgage and car. Most often these policies will be a requirement of obtaining the finance. Be careful not to get tied into a deal that is offered by your load provider but retain the flexibility to research the market and get the best deal with the right cover to suit your circumstances.
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Insurance
This is a way of giving yourself peace of mind by covering eventualities that may not be covered by your other policies. These may include some of your more expensive items like for example your car. GAP insurance fully protects these assets for full like-for-like replacement should it be necessary
Don't Lose Your Home in a Crisis
Mortgage Protection Insurance
There are many different variations not just in the types of insurance policy but also the level of cover afforded by policies of the same type. It is always a good idea to give careful thought to just exactly what the level of cover is that you require, and why you need it, before searching for appropriate cover. Compare as many different companies as you can and bear in mind that the cheapest cover may not always be the best and neither for that matter, might the most expensive. Carefully examine the small print for get-out clauses and no our rights regarding cool-off periods during which you can cancel a policy without financial penalty.

Does your company or venue have a hazard registration that staff can have easy access to? If not, you should contact our Risk Specialists here at DWS Hospitality Specialists, who can assist you in developing a risk register for your venue.
A hazard registration is an approach in which businesses should use to identify hazards. By having an active risk register, it ensures that all risks within the workplace are identified and dealt with accordingly, minimising the risk of injury within the workplace. A risk register should detail:
A list of hazards, the location of the risk, and the people that are exposed to the risk
A range of possible scenarios or circumstances in which the hazard could cause injury or damage
Nature of injury or damage that may be caused
The results of the risk assessment
List of control measures
The dates of implementation of specific steps and/or processes that have been put in place to minimise risk
It should also be formatted to contain the below:
Record number for the hazard
Date the risk was identified
Date the risk was assessed
Location of the hazard
The people that are exposed to the risk
The person responsible for the resolution in regard to the risk
In-depth description of the risk
Current controls in place
Outcome of the risk assessment once it has been completed
The action that has been taken to minimise the risk
Further controls required to ensure that the risk is contained
A reassessment date if required
This register is imperative to ensure that all staff are safe, and damage and/or injury are minimised. As without a risk register, risks within the workplace may be verbally stated but are forgotten. By staff being able to write down and follow up on the risk, it is ensured that the risk will be assessed and controlled. If you would like a risk assessment of your venue to ensure that your staff are safe and that any risk of damage are minimised, please contact us here at Club Training Australia – and one of our expert risk specialists can assist you.

We don't need News Media we need written in Stone Net Neutrality.
The media has become obsolete and it doesn't need replacement.
We don't need sponsorship- that is corruption.
We don't need corporate propaganda.
We don't need state propaganda.
We don't need eye witness experts.
We don't need media platforms or platform holders.
We don't need news organizations especially not the for profit kind.
We don't need more of the money for money's sake nonsense.
We don't need media filters.
What is needed is true net neutrality that will ensure that citizens of the world can consider ideas relative to the impact they will have on their own lives. We need a system where information and access are not constrained. These are needed to ensure basic power sharing for the stability of the world. Some measure of anonymity is needed, privacy is needed. Information propagates in a viral manner and it propagates quickly. The net enables people to experience and quickly evaluate things for themselves.
We may need an emergency broadcast system but that is the only form of broadcast that needs to be supported going forward. We don't need a broadcast system that keeps people a constant state of fear so defense contractors can make profits- the liberal thesis was absolutely correct on these.
When considering net neutrality it is of absolutely no consequence that investors be able to recoup their investment in a timely manner, at least not relative to neutrality issues itself. The neutrality issue is what led to the revolution and it comes out of an intent for communication to survive the most adverse conditions.
Net neutrality is more important than the continued existence of the US state or any or all current nation states- it's the defacto distillation of our survival and the core power sharing principle of the Constitution. If we have open communication we can survive and overcome.
Finally we need to start recognizing ads as a theft of attention so that stuff like ads on mobile and freeway bill boards go away. We never wasn't a modal situation or cost plus ad situation. Ads always lead to corruption and suppression of speech, luckily cloud plus user generated search provide a way around this. Ad revenue is not needed for efficient search, despite what Google seems to spend its been correctly speculated that it could be done very well on a non profit model. End users could do access redundant total bundle subscription content exchanges that would protect privacy while providing total access and paying poster based on what users paid attention to sans ads.

She's just being Miley.
It's not much, but a tentative release date has been confirmed by RCA execs Peter Edge and Tom Corson. In a new interview with Music Business Worldwide, they confirm several projects are taking precedence in 2017:
New RCA priorities in 2017 include 18-year-old Texan Khalid, All My Friends singer Tinashe, Nigerian One Dance collaborator Wizkid, hip-hop artist Goldlink and band Muna – while we can also expect new records from Bryson Tiller, Pink! and perhaps from Miley Cyrus, who's started work on her RCA follow-up to Bangerz.
Very clever to throw in that magical *perhaps,* but don't toy with us!
Honorable mentions go to Pink and Tinashe.
She's just being Miley.
Cyrus has remained relatively drama free over the last several years. She mended her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, is a staple judge on The Voice, hopped on The Flaming Lips' new song, "We A Family," and is hard at work on her Dead Petz followup. There were rumors floating around last fall claiming Cyrus was aiming for an October release (you can thank Buzzfeed for that). And it didn't help when Diane Martel, the "We Can't Stop" music video director, added fuel to the fire when she admitted the pop star was "working on songs," but we're well into 2017 and still no sign of the album… until now.
Miley shared a picture of her groovy recording studio with a bunch of multi-colored heart emojis. A clear indicator she's up to what she loves.
Katy Perry just announced a comeback. When will Miley?

In the 17th to the 19th centuries orangeries were symbols of prestige and wealth. They were fine structures with a distinguished classical architectural form that stood in the grounds of fashionable residences that were used for the growing of citrus trees.
Today, the definition of an orangery is now also used to describe a glazed building which by its design and construction differs from a typical conservatory.
To understand the distinction between the two, read our article on the difference between a conservatory and an orangery.
A well designed orangery should always follow the 'Classical Orders of Architecture', which determines the scale and proportion of the individual elements - such as entablature depth, column widths and heights, fenestration, and glazing detail, all in relation to one other.
A key signature of an orangery is the bold colonnade effect and an orangery without this element is simply a glazed structure without architectural merit or identity. An orangery will generally have wide classical pilasters flanking each window or door-set and these are often mirrored internally.
Orangeries give a shallow roof pitch giving the effect of a diminished roof and creating a roof profile that is less imposing and more suitable to certain architectural styles.
With a true orangery, the construction will house an inset roof within the surrounds of a secret gutter concealed externally by a deep entablature.
The choice in roof style can completely change the feel of your orangery and therefore is an important decision to make. A solid roof will give an increased feeling of privacy as well as allowing the exterior to harmonise with the existing structure. A glass roof will allow more natural light into the orangery and give the sense of a more open and spacious room.
We regularly design and build orangeries with a traditional solid roof construction - either lead covered or incorporating the use of traditional roofing materials such as a roofing slate or tile to complement the house. Internally, they will have a plasterboard finish and are trimmed with decorative hip beams and timber mouldings.
As described earlier, the design of an orangery features an inset roof and many of our orangery designs incorporate a glazed roof. This construction allows light to flood into the room providing a unique atmosphere unlike any other room in the house. Our designers have a wealth of knowledge and can offer advice and guide you through design options for your own requirements.
A well designed kitchen orangery is the perfect solution for those requiring a spacious, light-filled room which often becomes the social hub of the household. It has to house the practicalities of a kitchen and be a comfortable environment. Many of our customers wish to create a multi-functional space by adding a dining area to the kitchen and with the link to the garden is also a wonderful space for entertaining.
For further information and to view examples of our kitchen orangery projects visit our page on kitchen orangeries and conservatories.
The first, appropriate to larger glazed additions, is a carefully designed combination of traditional build, housing sets of doors and windows and with a glazed roof, usually set behind a parapet wall. Such a structure may be deemed more suitable for some properties and the traditional build will generally incorporate sympathetic building materials and style to the host building.
Masonry walls will provide a useful backdrop for growing plants, position lighting, pictures and furniture.

70-447 Question
If there is anyone who has taken the 70-447 exam and could recommend good study materials, I would greatly appreciate it.
Robert, welcome! Which city do you live in? I'm between Cincy and Dayton.
You will probably be hard pressed to find someone who has taken that exam on this forum. But I did take the 2005 DBA exams and can suggest that you use the MS Press books. The upgrade exams tend to just be the same questions as the full exams, just fewer in number. Depending on how much work you do with 2005 currently,it mught be better just to get a nice, big reference book like SQL Server 2005 Unleashed and some test prep software. One warning I have is that the MCTS 2005 exam does have sims and they were a bit confusing for me. Make sure you know SSMS well. You cannot use T-SQL to accomplish the tasks in the sims.
Oh - and you are aware the exam retires in June, right?
Robert - Thanks for the advice on the test. I do have quite a few 2005 admin books around as I have been working as an Admin for while. Yes, I do know it the 2005 track is retiring and that is pushing me to get the test done asap. No use wasting the upgrade path. I am in Columbus but travel to Xenia quite often to see family. Thanks again
Well, if there is ever a big PASS meeting in that neck of the woods we'll have to do lunch.
I would say just get some test prep and use the books you already have to study the objectives you find hardest on the test prep. Like I said, I found the sims hardest because I felt they seemed very similar in what they were asking. But I had very little experience with SQL Server at that point. Mostly just installation and basic maintenance. So you should blow it out of the water. The PRO exams were easier but required a broader conceptual knowledge.

"Unhappy is the land that has no heroes," complains the young monk in Brecht's Galileo. To which his wiser master replies, "Unhappy is the land that needs a hero." Put the word "play" in place of "land" in that exchange, and you learn something about art, which mostly displays models of human disaster and failure. Certainly dramatic art does; almost all of Shakespeare's heroes, for instance, are either murderers, failures, or both. Modern plays in which you can't tell who's the hero came in with Chekhov, writing under the stimulus of Ibsen, and have stayed in place, uneasily, never quite supplanted by the kind of contemporary play in which you can't quite tell who anybody is. A handy way to watch the play that has people but no heroes melting into the kind that barely has people at all is to see on successive nights, as I did, the Signature's revival of Lanford Wilson's 1978 drama Fifth of July and MTC's Kimberly Akimbo, the newest blend of familial dislocation and whimsy by the author of Fuddy Meers.
A tiny warning label should be issued with the strong recommendation to see Fifth of July. Director Jo Bonney, best known for her work with solo performers, occasionally seems to be taking the characters' words as messages from the author. She slows the action down languidly, and at one or two moments stops it altogether, while someone delivers a significant statement. But the scene of this play is the Talley residence, once home to the wealthiest family in Lebanon, Missouri, and now occupied by its children and their circle, shell-shocked refugees from the abortively revolutionary Berkeley campus of the 1960s. Even if they believe their Important Pronouncements, which they probably do in part, the author—who wasn't born wealthy and didn't attend Berkeley—most likely doesn't. Like us, he observes the action from a distance, loving the characters as they helplessly try to rescue their better selves from the mess made by their own dark sides, and realizing with a chill that what he's notated is exactly the way in which our worser selves so often succeed in dragging us down.
Heroism, the bravery to be one's best self, is not only one of Wilson's themes but a topic his characters pick apart from time to time. The discussion starts with an outrageously funny Inuit folktale (authentic, as it happens), about starving Eskimos and a giant fart. The story's downbeat ending and the moral ambiguity of its hero's boldly vulgar action provoke a succession of critiques from the play's characters. The tale, they complain, lacks "a saving grace." What they don't see is that the grace is in the act of telling: Survival is the tale's theme, and its characters all die, but the transmission of the story itself guarantees that they survive.
Only Kenneth Talley (Robert Sean Leonard), the deceptively calm center of this whirlwind of post-'60s resentment and disillusion, has a flickering awareness of the tale's potential meaning—enough of one, at least, to make him treat the conventional response as a joke. But then, Ken treats everything as a joke, including his own battered life. A gay radical who inexplicably allowed himself to be drafted, he's come back from Vietnam with bad dreams, two prosthetic legs, and no particular future. His notion of heroism's saving grace rarely extends beyond making quips like, "I may never dance Swan Lake again," after someone has knocked him down. Apart from his crutches, his principal supports are his aunt Sally (Pamela Payton-Wright), once the youthful heroine of Talley's Folly but now a dotty widow who talks to objects as readily as to people, and his lover Jed (Michael Gladis), a stolid horticulture-obsessed gardener, who watches over Ken like a cutting expected to regrow.
Ken's unironizing counterpart is his sister June (Jessalyn Gilsig), the most angrily unreconstructed member of his Berkeley circle, who, steadfastly unmarried, is visiting from St. Louis with her 13-year-old daughter Shirley (Sarah Lord), whose affection-starved precocity learns its clamorous tropes from old Betty Grable flicks at her neighborhood revival house. Balancing the Talley clan is a counterforce, equally divided in its intentions and just as confused morally, consisting of the Talleys' pal through high school and Berkeley, John Landis (David Harbour); his wife Gwen (Parker Posey), copper heiress and would-be country singer, her brain frizzed on medication and family money; and her cluelessly New Agey guitar accompanist, Wes (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), the teller of the Eskimo-fart story.
With three generations of clashing sensibilities and differing levels of disillusionment trapped in an old house, you hardly need a plot, and Wilson's trick is to give you one that isn't. Like the movements of the '60s themselves, the narrative elements build up to vociferous public demonstrations and then startlingly melt away, leaving behind only a clatter of might-have-beens and a batch of puzzled people trying to pick up the pieces. At the end Ken is saved from his own worst impulses, along with the house itself, by an action that smacks more of emotional blackmail than heroism, carrying the saving grace in its most topsy-turvy form. His response to being rescued, appropriately, is, "You know you're all going to pay for this." The moral, if any, is rather complex: Since all friends ultimately betray you, the best friends are those who do it for your sake rather than their own.
One can't be sure that's the moral, though, since the friends who rescue Ken by their betrayal have motives as personal as their opponents, and Ken might be just as happy with either party winning the day. The play's close counters the Inuit tale with a sort of future folktale, a sci-fi story taped by a speech-impaired local boy whom Ken has been teaching, in which space travelers find nothing of note in the universe, and are obliged to return to Earth, where "it was up to them to become all the things they had imagined they would find." Including monsters, one imagines, as well as saviors.
The quietude of Bonney's production, which steeps the play's gaudy mix of flavors in the dry wine of retrospect, is both persuasive and slightly unnerving. Circle Rep, where Marshall W. Mason directed most of Wilson's premieres, espoused what it called "lyrical naturalism," which never stopped the action in a play like this from brimming over with comic speed and zest. There's no lack of either in Bonney's production, but there's also no overspill; here in the belt-tightening aughts, we're more careful to keep our naturalism within lyrical bounds. Some of the excellent performances—Moss-Bachrach's blankly gentle Wes, Posey's calculatingly capricious Gwen—have the feel of the originals slightly scaled down; Harbour's tough, driving John even sounds eerily, at moments, like Jonathan Hogan's. Others seem creatively updated: Gilsig's June, her angular body locked in rage, suggests a streamlined Joyce Reehling, while Gladis's Jed gives hints of the openly gay person Jeff Daniels never quite conveyed.
Only three performers put their own distinct impress on the roles. Robert Sean Leonard's Ken is the first one I've seen to catch the character's passive-aggressive tactics, using the incessant wisecracks to ward off both sympathy and hostility—and looking far lonelier than his predecessors as a result. Pamela Payton-Wright, seemingly uncomfortable in Act I (few actresses really like talking to spools of copper wire), catches Aunt Sally's tone and tempo in Act II and runs with it, using a down-home toughness utterly unlike Helen Stenborg's soft indomitability, but just as valid. And 18-year-old Sarah Lord catches the travails of Shirley's addled adolescence with the professionalism of an 80-year-old skilled hand.
A teenager with a strange ailment that turns her into an 80-year-old is the heroine of David Lindsay-Abaire's Kimberly Akimbo. This should produce enough psychological strangeness for one play, but as in Fuddy Meers, Lindsay-Abaire doesn't stop there: The girl with the strange condition has to be surrounded by a wacky family which is a set of strange conditions, and haunted by a schoolmate attracted to her strange condition. Result: The heroine disappears, left with nothing to do but react to the surrounding wacky chaos, so that Marylouise Burke, who plays her, can only exploit her appealing quirks until they harden into mannerisms—which they were already starting to do in Fuddy Meers.
The pity of it is that Lindsay-Abaire, when not trying so hard to write wackily, can often write very well: The brief boy-girl scenes here, and some of the father's resentful outbursts, have both charm and the ring of truth. But David Petrarca's production, from its sunburst clock to the strip-mall flicker of its scene change lights, abets the wackiness so heavily that truth, charm, and even acting disappear. When an actress as good as Jodie Markell, or one as gamely promising as Ana Gasteyer, runs so quickly into monotony, you know something's gone wrong. John Gallagher Jr.'s rendering of the boy, and a few of Jake Weber's blasts as the father, are the closest the performance gets to earth. Otherwise, these space cadets are still out looking for the saving grace that Wilson found long ago.

Drugs for the anemia of say chemotherapy (I know you've seen the ads for Procrit on television) are getting strict warnings put on them from the FDA.
Officials of the drug agency stressed that the main safety risks of the drugs appear to occur when the drugs are used to raise hemoglobin to levels higher than 12 grams for each deciliter of blood, the level indicated in the prescribing information for the drugs.
Even then, the data showing risks are "very, very preliminary,†Dr. Patricia Keegan, director of the agency's division dealing with biotech cancer drugs, said on a conference call with reporters today. Nevertheless, she said, the pattern in the data seemed consistent enough to merit the new warnings.
These warnings aren't exactly new. Not that it looks like some of the patients need to be warned (Warning: Profanity).

While half of the UK's big six energy suppliers announce impending price hikes, British Gas has done the opposite, and will be keeping their prices frozen at least until August.
British Gas announcement comes just after Scottish Power became the third big six member to reveal that they will be raising their costs this Spring.
Scottish Power's price hike will come into effect on 31st of March, and will see the cost of their electricity supply go up by an average of 10.8%, and their gas by 4.7%. This means that the average dual fuel bill will increase by 7.8%. Scottish Power has explained that around a third of their customers (1.1 million in total) will be affected, with bills remaining unchanged for customers on fixed price tariffs and for those with prepayment meters. Customers with prepayment meters have been advised that "they will see separate changes as the CMA price cap in implemented".
They follow Npower, who announced last week that, from 16th March, they will be increasing prices for electricity by 15% and gas by 4.8%. EDF Energy will also be increasing their electricity costs in March, by 8.4%, but they cut prices for their gas supply by 5.2% in January.
Ofgem recently warned that any supplier intending to raise their prices would have to justify their decision independently, beyond citing rising wholesale costs, which most large suppliers protect themselves against using long-term hedging.
Ofgem's warning seemed more prophetic than discouraging, and arguably few were completely surprised when Npower and Scottish Power subsequently announced their price hikes.
All three providers to have raised their prices have cited various increased running costs (beyond purely wholesale costs for the energy itself) as justification for their hikes, though often fairly vaguely.
Scottish Power's UK retail director, Colin McNeill, said: "This price change follows months of cost increases that have already led to significant rises in fixed price products that now unfortunately have to be reflected in standard prices."
British Gas, however, said that they would be keeping their prices where they are for the time being "despite increases in external costs".
Their decision to freeze prices is one that, to some extent, puts paid to commonly held cynical view of the big six as working together cartel-like to shift prices in unison.
Fuelling what may, depending on how other suppliers act, turn into something of a price war, British Gas said: "our standard tariff continues to be cheaper than 95% of the market".
All eyes will now be on SSE and Eon to see how they respond to this latest draft of announcements – whether they, like British Gas, put price rises on hold for a while to appease customers or whether they follow the example set by the rest and push their prices up in the Spring.
Whatever they decide to do, Ofgem's advice is likely to remain unchanged. As usual, they have urged customers to shop around and compare tariffs as regularly as is feasible to make they that they are always on the right side of an often turbulent market.
"We would urge consumers to take advantage of the deals available from the many different suppliers and to shop around for a better deal if their supplier puts up their prices," they said.
"This will put pressure on all suppliers to ensure they run their businesses efficiently to keep any impact on bills as low as possible."

It's rather funny some of the things that happen, and the book is written well enough that I could just about picture it all in my head. :)
I had to admit, I have to adjust to type of language used in the book. It's written in more of an old English style...which suits the setting of the book nicely. Reading it was like having to immerse myself into a dialect of the English language.
Pictures scattered through the book make the story more real and for elementary students gives them a chance to see if they are really understanding what they are reading. :) (at least it would for my son).
Suggestion: it's a good read, I think both boys and girls will like it.
About the author:
Jane has been called the Hans Christian Andersen of America and the Aesop of the twentieth century. She sets the highest standard for the industry, not only in the meaningful body of work she has created, but also in her support of fellow authors and artists. Her books range from the bestselling How Do Dinosaurs series to the Caldecott winning Owl Moon to popular novels such as The Devil's Arithmetic, Snow in Summer, and The Young Merlin Trilogy, to award-winning books of poetry such as Grumbles from the Forest, and A Mirror to Nature. In all, she has written over 335 books (she's lost count), won numerous awards (one even set her good coat on fire), and has been given six honorary doctorates in literature.
