The white-ringed shores of Lake Mead tell the story.
Water levels at the lake have dropped more than 100 feet since 2000. The alkaline buildup along the lake's rocky shoreline has come to graphically symbolize the drought currently plaguing the West and, with it, the uncertain future of the region's water supply.
UNLV researchers are becoming increasingly involved in research on a variety of water issues, including both water quantity and quality. Their research, which is being conducted in collaboration with a number of government entities, comes at a crucial time.
According to a 2008 Brookings Institution report, of all major metropolitan areas in the Intermountain West, Southern Nevada may be the community most at risk of depleting its supply of water. This is not surprising given that from 2000 to 2007, the population of greater Las Vegas jumped an astounding 31 percent to more than 2 million, creating a spurt of economic prosperity while at the same time straining the area's limited water resources. It is estimated that by 2035, the greater Las Vegas area may have to conserve almost as much water as it currently uses just to meet demand.
The Brookings Institution report also indicates that the area will need to provide water for an additional 2.4 million people by 2040, a prediction that, if accurate, will require creative and collaborative water agreements and focused investments in research and data collection.
"The water issues facing Las Vegas are quite serious," says Robert Lang, non-resident senior fellow of the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program. "University research is needed to tackle the technical and policy challenges of managing limited resources."
UNLV researchers are working to meet these challenges, according to Ron Smith, the university's vice president for research and dean of the Graduate College. He says research teams are addressing issues ranging from the effects of global climate change on water resources to the impact of invasive species on the lake's ecology.
"UNLV faculty and students are committed to researching issues that affect quality of life in our community, state, and the region," says Smith, who also heads the university's Office of Urban Sustainability Initiatives. "Water issues will certainly impact our entire region for generations to come, and our researchers are actively seeking to address the many challenges we face in this area."
All told, dozens of UNLV faculty in many academic fields are currently engaged in research on water issues. Below are several of the water-related research projects under way.
Shawn Gerstenberger
Professor, Environmental and Occupational Health; Executive Associate Dean, School of Community Health Sciences
Shawn Gerstenberger is leading a team of UNLV researchers and graduate students examining the ecological impact of environmental toxins and invasive species in Lakes Mead and Mohave.
Gerstenberger and his team are tracking sport-harvested fish in Lake Mead for mercury and other environmental contaminants for what may lead to the first-ever fish consumption advisories for the lake. His team is also actively testing what shad, the primary food source for the lake's game fish, are consuming. This will help lake managers determine how invasive species are displacing plankton, which could have implications for fish populations in Lake Mead.
Gerstenberger also developed the 100th Meridian Initiative in Nevada, a partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to educate the general public about the dangers of invasive species in Lake Mead. A primary component of the initiative involves data collection and outreach for boaters who could unknowingly transport invasive species to lakes and rivers in the region.
Associate Research Professor, School of Community Health Sciences and the Public Lands Institute
David Wong is one of the nation's leading experts on the ecological impact of invasive zebra and quagga mussels on freshwater ecosystems. Wong, who holds a joint appointment in the UNLV School of Community Health Sciences and the Public Lands Institute, conducts research on how quagga mussels - first found in Lake Mead in early 2007 - are impacting the water quality, fisheries, and infrastructures in the lake.
According to Wong, Nevada's climate provides an ideal environment for quagga mussels to reproduce year-round, resulting in damage to Lake Mead's ecosystem and millions of dollars in annual maintenance costs on boats, marina structures, and water intake equipment that supplies drinking water to the Las Vegas community.
To combat this growing problem, Wong and a team of UNLV faculty and graduate students have teamed with government agencies, including the National Park Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, and others to form the Interagency Monitoring Action Plan. Through this coordinated effort, researchers can closely track the environmental impacts of quaggas and better understand how they affect water quality and food webs in Lakes Mead and Mohave.
William James Smith Jr.
Assistant Professor, Environmental Studies
William James Smith Jr. leads the policy and outreach component of a $15 million project that seeks to determine how climate change impacts not only the state's ecosystems and water resources, but also its diverse groups of stakeholders. The project is being funded by a National Science Foundation grant awarded to UNLV and other Nevada System of Higher Education institutions.
In addition to collecting socio-economic data and developing modeling and visualization tools related to climate change in Nevada, Smith is tasked with making information on climate change understandable and accessible to researchers, students, decision makers, and the general public through creative outreach techniques. He is also gathering input from stakeholder groups, such as the business community, Native Americans, nongovernmental organizations, and political entities, in order to share it with scientists. His goal in this part of the project is to help scientists understand their audiences more fully and help them communicate their research more strategically.
Smith also hopes to launch a project examining the potential for demand-side management of water to help sustain human and natural systems in the Lower Colorado River Basin. Smith also conducts research on water issues in the Federated States of Micronesia, focusing on mapping, capacity building, watersheds, and biodiversity.
Thomas Piechota
Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering; Director, Office of Sustainability and Multidisciplinary Research
Thomas Piechota tracks how climate change and large-scale climate variability phenomena like El Nino cycles influence regional water supply.
Piechota recently found that increasing temperatures in the Colorado River Basin over the past 55 years have changed the timing and magnitude of the region's streamflow. His research, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, revealed that streamflow is peaking earlier in the year each year now, creating challenges for water managers assessing resource availability. He is analyzing how this phenomenon is contributing to the current drought in the Southwest, which is the most severe in the region's nearly 100-year historical record.
Piechota is also working with the National Weather Service's River Forecast Center to improve the models used to manage water supply in the Colorado River Basin. By incorporating climate variability into the models, resource availability predictions will be more precise. More accurate modeling and climate forecasting contribute to a better understanding of the extent and cause of reductions in water supplies; this, in turn, enables urbanized areas to shift water demand strategies in response to limited supply.
Jaci Batista
Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Jaci Batista leads a team of UNLV researchers working to help rid Las Vegas' water supply of environmental and chemical contaminants. Batista, who has received grant funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, among other agencies, is researching many issues related to the quality of both wastewater and the municipal water supply.
She is developing techniques for the biological removal of phosphorous and nitrogen from wastewater flowing to Lake Mead; she also recently created a complete model of the fate and transport of the contaminant perchlorate through the Las Vegas Wash and into Lake Mead. The model has influenced environmental policy and has served as the basis for local clean-up efforts.
Batista, along with engineering professor Sajjad Ahmad, life sciences professor Dale Devitt, and graduate assistant Kamal Qaiser, is also developing an interactive water balance model for the Las Vegas valley that will provide extensive data on the transport of water from Lake Mead to Las Vegas.
The model will track energy costs, water demand, and water supply for up to 50 years into the future and will facilitate water and wastewater resource planning.
Cord Foundation Professor of Law, Boyd School of Law
Douglas Grant examines water law issues and has written extensively on water resources law and water rights. Grant recently authored an analysis of interim operating guidelines established by the Secretary of the Interior in 2007 to address water allocation in the seven Colorado River Basin states, including Nevada.
Western states are wrangling over their portions of the area's diminishing water supplies as never before, with myriad issues already arising as the states anticipate future water supply and demand conditions after the guidelines expire in 2026.
According to Grant, the Colorado River Basin states and their growing cities need to collaborate on advanced strategies to solve looming water shortages and consider reallocating water from agricultural to urban use.
Grant also studies different legal approaches that Western states are taking in their management of ground and surface water sources that are situated in border areas and are shared by different states. Though Nevada has yet to experience many of the issues associated with management of groundwater, Grant says it is important to learn from successful regional approaches as local ground water needs may soon exceed supplies.
Dale Devitt
Professor, School of Life Sciences; Director, Center for Urban Horticulture and Water Conservation
Dale Devitt conducts research on ways that both residential and business consumers can make more efficient use of available water supplies. For example, he examines the use of satellite irrigation controllers for residential landscape watering and works with golf courses in Southern Nevada as they transition to recycled water to meet their irrigation needs.
For the past five years, Devitt and his team have traced the impact of recycled water on soil-turfgrass systems, equipment, water features, and additional landscaping at nine local golf courses in various stages of recycled water adoption.
Researchers have tested for salt buildup in soils and plants and found the recycled water to be an acceptable alternative to the municipal water traditionally used for golf course irrigation.
During the last four years, Devitt has also been involved in a large study to assess water consumption of native plant communities in remote basins in east central Nevada.
Additionally, he and his colleagues at the Desert Research Institute are currently investigating the fate and transport of pharmaceuticals in turfgrass systems irrigated with recycled water.

Q: Can my retina MacBook Pro SSD drive go to sleep? In energy settings there are several options concerning the power consumption of you mac, like dim display, app nap, but also "Put harddisk to sleep when possible".
To my knowledge, an HD hard disk can go to sleep, it will stop spinning and park its heads.
But I have an original SSD build in my retina MacBook Pro. Can this SSD disk go to sleep as well?

A: As to what I'm aware, an SSD does not classify as a hard disk, therefore it will not go to sleep as part of this option. (I'm not even sure you can make them go to sleep to begin with.)
Using a laptop with an internal SSD as its only form or storage will make this setting of no use. However if there is say an external HDD plugged in, it will abide to this setting.
But back on topic, an SSD will not obey this setting.

Field Hockey Falls to William & Mary in Overtime
Written by CHRIS FITZSIMMONS | STAFF WRITER
Fresh off of their Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championship win, Field Hockey fell just short of a victory in their National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament game against William & Mary by a score of 3-2 in Williamsburg, VA last Wednesday.
"I couldn't be more proud of a team with the amount of dedication and belief they had in one another," said Head Coach Carli Figlio. "I am proud of everyone on this team and what they accomplished this year and extremely honored to be their coach."
For the third time in program history, Monmouth made the trip to the NCAA Tournament and for the third time failed to advance, losing each game by one goal.
The Hawks were first to score when senior forward Kelly Hanna drove right up the middle of the defense with senior forward Georgia Garden Bachop right by her side. The New Zealand native worked her way down to the post and Hanna sent in a well-timed pass that Garden Bachop tucked in for the 1-0 lead.
The Tribe came storming right back as they blasted four shots off in a row, but were unable to connect on any.
William & Mary finally broke through and answered in the 22nd minute by tipping in a corner shot to tie it up at one.
The Hawks this time were the ones to apply pressure with Garden Bachop, senior forward Elyssa Okken, and freshman forward Annick van Lange all taking shots, but they unable to recapture the lead.
The Tribe got the next best chance to take the lead with a penalty corner right before the half, but it was unsuccessful.
The second half saw both teams struggle to put points on the board. This was in large part due to the performance of Monmouth freshman goalkeeper Kate O'Hogan, who made a total of ten saves in the match.
Monmouth came right out and took some quality shots that culminated in a corner attempt by Hanna that was neutralized by the hosts.
In the 42nd minute, a penalty stroke was awarded to the Tribe after their goalkeeper was tripped, but O'Hogan was kept from having to make a save as the shot rang off the post.
As if it had been scripted, Garden Bachop broke through for the Hawks in the 63rd minute to put Monmouth up 2-1 with just seven minutes left to go.
But William & Mary wasted little time getting themselves in position to tie it up. The Tribe intercepted a pass from outside of the circle, worked it up the field, and took a shot that earned the team a penalty corner.
With five minutes left in the game, both teams held their breath as the resulting shot rang off of the stick of Tribe forward Annie Snead, who fed senior midfielder Estelle Hughes for the tying goal.
The game would remain tied and enter overtime, where William & Mary was simply the better team. The Tribe took four shots to Monmouth's zero, and on the fourth shot found twine. With that, the Hawks' 2018 season concluded.
Monmouth's elimination from the NCAA Tournament marked the end of collegiate careers for seniors Garden Bachop, Hanna, Okken, and Gab Girardi.
This year's senior class won four consecutive MAAC Regular Season Championships, made two NCAA Tournament appearances, and won 53 games, which is tied for first all-time.
"This senior class is beyond special; they showed what it meant to be a family, what it means to work and we will miss them tremendously," said Figlio. "We will work hard off the foundation they laid this year to continue to take steps in the right direction."

You may actually recognize this one. I've been sharing a few snippets of it along the way. Maybe I'm just in a blogging frame of mind after taking a week off for vacation, but, I don't want to refrain from giving this project its proper attention any longer. This home is in a prime location off of Paces Ferry Road in one of the most sought after communities in Atlanta. The Homeowners bought in a beautiful neighborhood; on a spectacular lot. An incredible stream winds through the back yard. The Home's decor was a tad bit dated, yet, a grand vision for its future had been set from the onset. Our goal: To transform this raw beauty into a modern marvel.
The cabinetry is Berloni. John Arnot and Shirley Macfarlain collaborated with the Owners to provide the professionally outfitted, incredibly functional, meticulously designed, impeccably sleek, culinary masterpiece that you see here.
Couldn't you see yourself here hanging with the kids enjoying some cereal. And then when you're entertaining, everyone will certainly be asking about the counter tops from "Ice Stone". Very cool stuff.
The foyer felt extremely narrow and closed in and the stairs left little to be inspired about. In order to lay out the new vision, we had to re-locate a powder room, expand the width of the interior space (including the front porch) and re-work the roof above to accept the new entry and maximise the amount of light.
Theresa Minkoff with Moda Floors and Interiors worked hand and hand with the owners to achieve this exceptional composition of interior finishes and ensure that an authentic continuity is maintained throughout the entire Home.
And where would we be without the spectacular insight of Ken Lynch. He provided all of the architectural work on the Home and laid the ground work for bringing the vision to life.
For me, this project is a shining example at how important it is to take a collaborative approach when creating a new Home. It took the insightful contributions of everybody involved. From the Architectural work to the kitchen and bath design to the interior design to the execution of the construction details to the wonderful ideas of the client. The team approach works best every time.
We still have a few things to show: Stainless cable and solid glass handrail system, cracked glass kitchen backsplash, cork floors in the basement and a new stone fireplace. We'll have to get some more photos and update in a little while.
If you Like, "Like"; Always feel free to share; and Friend or Follow if moved.
Nice looking house, Kyle! It looks a lot better now. It looks like you're all done with the work, but I was wondering about the stairs. Can you leave them like that without handrails?

The Negro Southern League Museum is open, but with restrictions, due to COVID-19
full details are available here
The Negro Southern League was created in 1920 by a group of African-American businessmen and baseball enthusiasts. From 1920 until its demise in 1951, the Negro Southern League served as a feeder route for many great black baseball players to go on to the Negro American League and Negro National League.
The league was formed in a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Frank Perdue of Birmingham was elected the first president of the league. Other officers were R.H. Tabor, Nashville, vice president; Prof. W.M. Brooks, Knoxville, Secretary; and W.J. Shaw, Atlanta, treasurer.
Among the many players this minor league sent on to the black "major" leagues are five Hall of Fame members: Willie Mays, Leroy "Satchel" Paige, Hilton Smith, Norman "Turkey" Stearnes, and George "Mule" Suttles.
Other lesser known but equally outstanding players in their time included pitcher John "Steel Arm" Dickey, who once won 25 games in a row; one-armed Forest "Wing" Maddox, who both pitched and played in the outfield; Buford "Geechie" Meredith, an infielder who played with Birmingham so long he was actually listed in the city directory as "ball player." There were even baseball families such as the five Henderson brothers in Chattanooga and in Montgomery, Marion "Dad" Cunningham and his sons, Herman and Johnnie.
It is likely that more Negro Southern League players came out of Birmingham's extensive industrial league than from any other source. That is why the industrial league is a big part of the Negro Southern League Museum.
The initial lineup of eight teams was the Atlanta Black Crackers, Birmingham Black Barons, Jacksonville Stars, Knoxville Giants, Montgomery Grey Sox, Nashville White Sox, New Orleans Caulfield Ads, Pensacola Giants. Over the years more than 80 teams were members of the league. Some, like Birmingham and the Memphis Red Sox, were involved for many years; others, like the Indianapolis Cardinals, only played one season in the Negro Southern League.

Business Impact Assessment, Risk Analysis, Continuity Strategies, BCP writing, Exercising, Culture Development Training and Mentoring.
Shirazi Investments (Pvt.) Limited, the parent Company of the Atlas Group Pakistan, was established in 1962. For over four decades, the company has been engaged in equity trading, underwriting, real estate and general trading. The company plays a key role in sponsoring and acquisition of many group companies.
Realizing the importance and need of Business Continuity Planning, and being the role model for other group companies, the organization took the initiative for implementing Business Continuity Management.
Business Beam started the assignment by identifying all the processes in the organization and conducting detailed Business Impact Analysis (BIA). To ensure realistic results from BIA, our advisors conducted training and mentoring sessions for the process owners. With the help of BIA results, our advisors identified processes and resources which were critical to the continuation of its business. They also determined the time the organization can survive if the critical processes and resources failed.
Following BIA, Business Beam performed risk assessment and helped the organization in identifying and prioritizing risks. Based on the risk assessment and the critical processes, our advisors proposed continuity strategies and recommended various solutions against future disastrous situations. After finalizing the strategies and continuity response with the stakeholders, our advisors developed a Business Continuity Plan, and established the Crisis Management Team to derive real business value.
To ensure validity of the BCP, and to improve employee awareness, our advisors also successfully conducted a table-top BCP exercise.
Implementing Business Continuity Management System in an organization is more of a cultural challenge. In case of Shirazi Investments, the management and the employees have now realized the importance and the need for Business Continuity in their rapidly changing environment.
The organization has also identified its critical processes and developed recovery strategies. Business Continuity Plan has been developed and tested. The organization is now properly equipped to properly and successfully handle any continuity related challenge.

Good tips. When I ran ranges, EVERYBODY picked up brass if they fired. Even had a 1 Star General come to qual with his M9. When he was done shooting (and he fired expert) he bent down and started to pick up his brass. Being a good NCO and knowing he had more important things to do, I told him we'd take care of his brass on the ground. He said something about setting an example and picked up the rest. Good guy.
I got a lot of looks, but never had any problems and Nobody ever got shot on my ranges.

Today: All good things have to come to an end, and such it is that the amazing run of surf we've had in the last few weeks in Cornwall is over. It's only a couple of foot on the north coast today, the winds cross offshore from the north east. So if you do want to get in it's still ok, just not the waves we've been having. Again head to the west facing beaches to maximize swell size and wind direction.
Tomorrow: More of the same really but with gale force easterly winds!


The NoHo Arts Center is a very nice theatre complex on Magnolia, where I saw a splendid Dracula way back in 2009. Now a new adaptation of Bram Stoker's most famous novel just opened, a Dracula explicitly referred to as a "feminist take.' Upon hearing of this, I was intrigued!
Elsewhere I've described my reaction to the script. This review focuses upon the specific production happening right now in North Hollywood under the auspices of Theatre 68 which commissioned this script.
Begin with the space. It caught my imagination instantly, not least because of an imaginative, even compelling pre-show (presumably the work of director Sohia Watt). Frankly, the rest of the show had a lot to live up to after following that!
At times it even did.
Frankly a big part of the blame for this last (which overstates it a bit, to be honest) lies in the script (see link above) which gives barely a hint as to the characters of Arthur (Diego Maureira) and Quincey (Kenneth James) or their mutual love interest Lucy (Ariel Hart), and a tiny bit more regarding Jack Seward (Jude Evans). Cannot blame the actors for not being given much of chance to show what they might do. Given how the rest of the cast measured up, I must conclude all the actors were of the same quality, but given unequal attention by the writer.
This Dracula belongs to the character of Mina (Rachel Zink) , with interestingly many of the other major characters taking turns as enemy and ally to her. One measure of the actors who play Jonathan Harker (Jordan Wall), Professor Van Helsing (David Caprita), Dracula himself (Robert Homer Mollohan), Mrs. Westenra (Perry Smith) and the bug-eating lunatic Renfield (Kristen Lerner) is how all of them succeed in shifting between those roles. Overall, very well!
Mollohan lacked a little consistency, but that also seems inherent in the nature of how this play interpret the character--as a chameleon in some fundamentally emotional manner. He genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself, though, and in a very refreshing change of pace attempted at no time to channel Bela Lugosi, Frank Langella nor Gary Oldman! Bravo! Even his deliciously maniacal laughter proved motivated!
Wall managed the curious balance of Harker, between strength and weakness, anger and tenderness with rather a lot of skill. I never liked him, but then I don't think we were supposed to. Felt sorry for the guy, though.
Caprita's Van Helsing was such an over-the-top misogynist he could easily have been done as a villain from a melodrama. Yet instead he came across as very real, very malevolant in his way, and yet able enough to prove a useful ally. Sometimes.
Lerner of course got the plum role. Renfield is to Dracula what Gollum is The Lord of the Rings. Small wonder David Manners (who played Harker in the Lugosi film) wanted to play that role--and at least one film adaptation conflated the parts of Harker and Renfield together! Again, the actor involved avoided a trap. Too often in playing madness the temptation exists to create a Batman-eque villain. Lerner avoided that, and (no less impressively) showed a complex set of relationships with those in her time onstage.
Zink really carried the night, though, and did so with a fairly ugly journey of self-discovery. One of the tragedies inherent in this adaptation is the image of two different futures Mina can see embodied in Renfield and in the bitter, almost heartless Mrs Westenra. Because although feminist, this play does not take a Xena-esque approach by turning Mina into a fount of wisdom who puts the vampire lord out of his misery (this has been done a few times, most famously in Bram Stoker's Dracula as well as the Wildhorn musical). Rather, this version is more of a dystopia, a look into a society whose treatment of women makes savagry weirdly attractive.
Along the way, much credit must go to the Succubi (Caroline Henry, Kara Gibson, Isabel Wagner, Anna Yosin) who function not quite as a Greek Chorus--mostly because they rarely speak while literally becoming the set as often as not. It proved a wonderful conceit, giving a dreamlike immediacy to the proceedings!
Yet the nitpicker in me also wants to point out the English accents distractingly inconsistent. Generally the cast did a fine job in that respect (which deserves some applause right there) but the sudden pronunciations shifting from English to American did prove distracting--at least to my ear.
Performances of Dracula are Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 7pm through November 1, 2015. Tickets are $25.
As a rule, I always enjoy performances at downtown's REDCAT. La Mélancolie des Dragons certainly marks no change in that pattern. Describing the performance however will prove a little tricky. Again, no change in the pattern. Shows in this venue rarely turn out safe or predictable. Mostly they come across as a ritual, with as much power and beauty as a high mass if you don't understand Latin--provided you prove willing to allow the experience itself to do what it will rather than trying to re-shape the event into a form more comfortable. Less eccentric. More linear.
Vivarium Studios, which created La Mélancolie des Dragons (The Melancholy of Dragons--a title somehow absolutely perfect, although I cannot tell you why) emerged in 2003 Paris, aiming to create theatrical innovation. It became known for subtly, relatively simple sets, and exploration of ideas that critique modern society. The set up certainly seems simple enough. We see on stage a snow-covered landscape, trees taking up the edge of the space. A car, pulling a kind of van in back, seems stuck in the snow until a woman in a bicycle arrives. Her name is Isobel, and she soon figures out what is wrong with the car. It needs a part. Sadly, the local garage (she knows the guy who runs it) cannot get that part for seven days.
So they are stuck. It seems. They don't seem heartbroken that their "tour" is to be interrupted. All six long-haired guys have a distinct 'heavy metal' air to them. They offer to show Isobel their show and she agrees.
I can safely say what happened surprised me. But not with any kind of real shock. For a time I wondered if this nice and patient lady (she seemed middle aged) was about to become a victim of some horrific crime. After all the six "bandmembers" did feel...odd. Equally odd proved the 'attractions' they offered.
But no crime proceeded to occur. And by the time anyone said anything even vaguely ominous we had come to know these men, to realize what kind of camp or event they were offering. A mini-oddyssey as it were, an exploration of the epic in the simple, the small. A series of wonders to behold in what some might call the most childish of pleasures. Well, why not? The grin awoken by a bubble machine. The fun of walking amid man-made smoke. A joke everyone 'gets' and can therefore enjoy, even if silly. Instead of the biggest, fastest, loudest, most dangerous roller coaster of all time (until the next multi-million dollar one gets made) we share (with Isobel, our surrogate for the evening) ordinary wonders, seemingly forgotten or just ignored.
Even something as simple as a plastic bag can be as frightening as the most expensive CGI orc army. Just a wig hanging on a string near a fan while music plays can create an invisible rock star--to someone with a willingness to imagine, to dream.
Shouldn't that be all of us?
La Mélancolie des Dragons as of this writing has completed its short run at the REDCAT, appropriate in some way because--like all things--each experience by definition remains ephemeral. On the other hand, its company has performed the show before, presumably will do so again. I for one hope you get a chance to see it or some other piece by Vivarium Studios. For the record, I hope the same for myself. My applause was long the night I saw it. Nor was I alone. Nor was I the last to stop clapping.
The Red Moon marks the first of four vampire plays I know to open this autumn in the Los Angeles area. This one is at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre, an original musical by Ramon Sanchez.
Honestly, although I do recommend this show as genuinely fun and interesting as well as original in ways rarely seen in vampire fare, the script feels too short and in need of work. The story startled me as something truly interesting, a focus not on tribes or nations or the like but rather the fate of individual human souls.
Yet it wouldn't work without a cast to breathe life into these characters. We would not care, if Roxanna (Lara Lihiya) did not grab our attention so much from the first time she struts on stage. Likewise the first words of the show are spoken by Lauri (Nicole Craig), the most mundane of character, the voice of the ordinary but not with contempt. Rather, she seemed real. A living human being. As did Anthony (Jason Britt), Lauri's friend who catches Roxanna's eye and soon joins her in the night.
In case you hadn't figured it out yet, Roxanna is a vampire. Among other things her role is tricky because she has to jump back and forth between an exultant siren drunk with blood-lust, then a guilt-ridden young woman deeply ashamed of all she's done. No small feat. Yet carried out with great depth.
To be sure all the major roles have their challenges. Lauri, for example, has the unenviable task of holding her own against two powerfully vivid and violent characters. Yet the actress in question carried it off!
Likwise Anthony has this powerful duality the needs exposing on stage--and that is what I saw. Even as the most fierce and reckless predator of humans, we can see his loneliness, his fear of becoming again what he once was.
Of all things, this is a love triangle with a man trying to win back a woman away from that woman's sister--which turns out not be a battle for her soul so much as his. A genuinely interesting, deeply dramatic idea, but little more than an idea without the cast.
Honestly, they saved it. Because the script needs work.
Not that it is in any way bad! On the contrary, the promise it shows really has me feeling a deep desire to see his next draft produced! But the lack of detailed backstory gave the actors more work than necessary (albeit they rose to the challenge). Also, other than the three leads Steven Alloway's Club Bouncer (with no name even) and Paul Carpenter's troubled Minister (ditto) alone seemed like characters really. They did a fine job with the little they had. Jackee Bianchi and Mariale Chiribao had even less to work with and did fine. I long to see what they might have done with more.
Bottom line--lots of promise very neary eclipsed by some extremely fine performances. Director Denise Devin deserves a lot of credit for assembling this cast.

Plastic pipe systems are suitable for a wide range of applications contributing to a higher quality of living.
Plastic pipes and fittings are used to drain and carry effluent and waste water from the home to the sewage treatment plant. Due to their high resistance against corrosion from substances normally found in effluents, they are safe for all household applications.
Special ranges of plastic soil and waste systems provide a more comfortable living environment by providing insulation against noise.
Heating and cooling installations allow you to live and work in a comfortable environment, regardless of the weather and changing seasons. For instance plastic pipes, can be used for underfloor heating systems which provide a constant room temperature whilst saving energy when compared with more traditional forms of heating.
Plastic pipe underfloor heating systems are also the ideal solution when using renewable energy sources such as solar and geothermal.
Underground plastic pressure pipes are widely used throughout Europe to supply gas for heating and cooking. These systems are now well proven to be a safer, more reliable and more cost effective alternative to tradition materials.

Need legal help with a business law matter?
Business laws include all municipal, state, and federal laws that regulate businesses and commerce. Some industries, such as finance, face specific laws and regulations that apply to those in the field. Businesses of all types also must conform to many regulations that apply across the board, such as environmental regulations and advertising laws.
A business lawyer can help you address the myriad legal issues that arise when you are starting a new venture, operating an established company, or winding up or selling a business.
Business lawyers handle a broad spectrum of legal issues that confront companies. For new ventures, a business lawyer can help with business formation decisions, including selecting the proper business form, such a partnership, LLC or corporation, or addressing financial compliance issues when raising capital. In addition, business lawyers can offer advice when reviewing leases, purchase agreements, and other types of contracts. Other issues covered in this practice area include employee compensation and benefits, building relationships with independent contractors and other entities, and compliance with relevant advertising regulations.
While most business lawyers deal in transactional work (contracts and forms), some also litigate business disputes that arise from transactional work. Business litigation attorneys may handle issues such as breach of contract claims, consumer class action lawsuits, and wrongful termination claims.
Business judgment rule: a presumption that directors making a business decision, not involving self-interest, act on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that their actions are in the corporation's best interest.
Pierce the veil: A court no longer affords a shareholder of a corporation the protection of limited liability when the corporation has neglected corporate formalities and intermingled assets between the shareholder and the corporation.

So getting free Busch Garden tickets can save you a lot of money, since you apply for a free package deal and get more than a single ticket. If you don't need all the tickets you can always sell them at popular marketplaces such as eBay or Craigslist.


Even if you attempt to avoid dining at nice restaurants due to having small children, there are always going to be occasions that pop up that are unavoidable. Your family has been invited to a wedding. Your father is having a "big number" birthday. There's a family reunion. These are special occasions that call for a non-fast food dining experience typically. And you have small children.
Many of us have experienced the BC (before children) experiences where we were at a sit-down restaurant and someone's child was screaming, throwing food, or running around. We held the seat of judgment and sniffed, "My child will never behave that way in public!" Then we became parents. Dining at a sit-down restaurant can be a lovely or harrowing few hours. With a bit of planning, it can be the fun time it's meant to be. Use these suggestions to have a fabulous dining experience.
Call the restaurant where you plan to eat and ask about kid-friendly items. What type of high chairs and/or booster seats do they have? How high are the tables and chairs? Are there changing tables in the rest rooms? Is there a dedicated place for you to be able to nurse or take a child who is overwhelmed and needs a few quiet moments?
Most importantly, ask about the food served. Is there a kids' menu of smaller portions? Is "sharing" meals allowed? Is there an extra cost? Will a server or the kitchen staff be able to heat a bottle or jar of baby food for you? If your child has a food allergy, explain to the manager you will be bringing his/her food to make certain he/she safely eats.
Many businesses now have online websites, Facebook pages, Snapchats, and other social media sites. Check out the photos or even stop by for a pre-dinner scope of the main dining area. How big are the aisles? Will a high chair be accommodated in the middle of the room, or should you request (before hand) a corner or against the wall table?
Read the reviews from other diners, too, especially those who mention taking their children. What are their tips? It might be beneficial to hear from someone who has been-there-done-that and can give you invaluable advice. If you can't find a review that mentions children, call and ask the manager his/her recommendations for your children.
Young children are known for many things, but patience is not one of them! Waiting for a meal can be an almost overwhelming and unbearable experience for your child (and for you). How can you make this time pass faster and with less stress?
Take several things for your child to do. Those restaurant coloring pages and crayons seem to be completed quickly so don't depend on them. Take a special game or toy for your child. Holding his or her interest in an activity besides just sitting and waiting will be much more enjoyable for everyone.
A restaurant in my town just opened a very fancy establishment with sit-down meals and "high tea" for special occasions. The best part is that they installed a sound proof play area for young children to enjoy while their meals are prepared. How ingenious is that? It is obvious that the owners are parents! Until this kid-friendly trend catches on, hopefully the above guidance can help you and your fellow diners have a wonderful night out.

The Fokker C.XI-W was a reconnaissance seaplane designed to operate from warships that was produced in the Netherlands in the mid-1930s. It was the result of a Royal Netherlands Navy specification of 1935 requesting such an aircraft. Fokker's response was a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings of unequal span braced by N-struts. The pilot and observer sat in tandem, open cockpits, and the undercarriage consisted of twin pontoons. The wings were of wooden construction with plywood and fabric covering, and the fuselage was of steel tube, also covered with fabric.

The prototype first flew on 20 July 1935. After successful catapult trials, an order for a further 13 C.XI-Ws was placed, the aircraft being used to equip the cruisers HNLMS Tromp and HNLMS De Ruyter while operating in European waters; but most were sent to the Netherlands East Indies to equip the Navy there. Following the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, the last surviving C.XI-W in Europe was successfully evacuated to the UK on 22 May.  From there, it was also shipped to the Netherlands East Indies. None seem to have survived past March 1942.

Home/U.S./Miami Dolphins increase win streak in five games with 29-21 win over Los Angeles Chargers
Miami Dolphins increase win streak in five games with 29-21 win over Los Angeles Chargers
November 16, 2020 U.S. Leave a comment
The Dolphins regained the football after three more outs and looked ready to control the game. The offense took it back to the red zone, but a failed snap exchange led to a 44-yard fumble return by Chargers linebacker Nick Vigil.
Los Angeles would take possession of 11 plays for 37 yards and be the first touchdown for the visitors to this day. Then, special teams from Miami went back to work. Matt Hack launched a 62-yard punt, which dropped to the 5-yard line, with wide receiver Mack Hollins saving the football from stumbling into the end zone. The Miami defense will stand in the next series and force the Chargers to exit their own final zone. Grant returned Miami with 21 yards to put Miami into field goal range just before the half-century.
Kicker Jason Sanders split up from 50 yards out, giving him a perfect 18-for-18 mark on the season. He would rejoin from 35 yards in the third quarter allowing him to score 22 consecutive field goals by 19 and 2019 to open the season, boosting his own franchise record. Streak would end, however, as Sanders missed a 47-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. He started a new streak with a successful 49-yard goal with four minutes remaining in the game.
Coming into the play, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was sixth in deep passing with 597 yards with 20 or more air guards. According to Pro Football Focus, wide receivers Mike Williams and Jaylen Guyton finished 13th and 14th respectively. His longest game was just 17 yards to Hunter Henry (Williams caught a 28-yard pass on his final drive), before Los Angeles' final drive (15 behind).
"That's why coaches coach us," Howard said. Everyone is working and pretending together, that's all. "
The Dolphins defense pitched it throughout the game. A zero pressure head coach Brian Floers and defensive coordinator Josh Boer dialed seven rushers and forced a foul throw in the third. Later, early in the fourth quarter, Miami had a sequence of plays that allowed the Dolphins' defense to have coverage in the 3rd and 12th, and it paid off big time.
Miami gained a six-point lead, watching the Chargers quickly return to the home team with three big plays before running out to midfield. First, the Dolphins ran a twist up front, with two crooks – unlicensed free agent Benito Jones and fifth-round pick Jason Strowbridge – executing the perfect stunt to free Strowbridge for a 2-yard loss. .
Then, after leading the action game to its final quarter, defensive end Emanuel Ogba continued his hot streak. The tall, ultra-powerful defensive end went up in the field, working away from his block as Herbert attempted to tuck it in and run, and land the 6-foot-5 quarterback. Obaga now has a sack in six straight games, tied for the second-longest streak in franchise history (Jason Taylor eight straight games in 2002).

Thanks to a forum member we now have a Pentax K-r with the SMC Pentax DAL 1:3.5-5.6 18-55mm AL lens.
I would like to explore and decide on another lens to add for this camera. Landscapes seem to be my calling right now.
And am waffling between "Prime/WR/Super WR/Zoom" preferably Pentax or Sigma.although would consider other brands as price is a factor (Especially considering the exchange rate for the CAN$) to someone who is retired.
Suggestions & Ideas are truly welcome and even pointers to these lenses for sale on the forum.
Looking forward to see where I go from here.
OOOPPPSSS!!! we also have a SMC Pentax-A 1:2 50mm.
Which has not been used yet as I seem to be treading in the 18-55mm domain right now.
If you like landscapes and want a wider lens, I'd suggest the SMC DA 15mm f/4 -- superior flare resistance, beautiful highlight stars when stopped down and great contrast/color. The corners can get a bit soft but its never bothered me.
Hi Colin - can I ask, are you looking for something *better* than your 18-55, or something that will complement it? 18-55mm is a pretty good range for landscape work, and the apertures at which this lens shines are those you'd most likely use for landscape work - ie. f/8 plus. Do you find yourself wanting a wider or narrower field of view than the 18-55 offers? Or do you want the same or bigger range, or a specific focal length, and better image quality at certain apertures?
In order to decide what range of focal lengths you need - or the closest focal length that is most relevant to your shooting - it's a good idea to review all of the photos you've taken with the 18-55 to see what focal length they were taken at (you may know already that you can get this information from the EXIF data in the image). Once you've profiled your use of the 18-55 to see what focal length(s) you most commonly use, it may help you to decide what prime to buy, if that's the route you want to go down.
My current favourite lens for landscapes is my recently acquired Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 - it covers the range I need most, I have some zoom flexibility, and it is sharp edge-to-edge for the most part. However, there are times when I switch to my DA70 if I want more intimate landscape. Plus, it's not WR, and this might be important to you. I did try two copies of the Pentax DA16-85 WR and I loved the lens, but both copies had quality control issues.
Appreciate the replies and it was/IS the direction I was/am heading in. Will check this out.
Most of my images are at the 18mm variety. Even had a Sigma 18-70mm (I think!!!) with K10D that I gave to a new home.
And have perused some of the 17-??? or 16-?? lenses where prices seem to be way out of my league. While noticing that Sigma lens Colors did produce an image that excited me too.
If you want foreground - then you go wide.
If you want to minimize distortion - then you go prime, no lower than about 24mm, and possibly stitch.
If you want to shoot over the foreground and emphasize the distant - then you want a longer lens (28, 35, 50 or 85mm) and possibly stitch.
10-17 Fisheye - Great lens, runs from about 180 degrees to 100 degrees wide. Pulls in foreground, background and lots of sky.
12-24 - Another great lens, runs from 100 degrees wide to 60 degrees wide. Resolution peaks at around 18mm.
16-45 - Very good lens, runs 80 degrees to about 35 degrees wide.
A 50/1.7 - Great lens, VERY Cheap (the M 50/2 is even cheaper).
The 12-24 and the 16-45 are both fantastic lenses. You probably don't want a fisheye. The 31mm is a fantastic lens but on a crop body, its pretty much a 50mm equivalent on FF which is a bit long for landscape.
The Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 is another option. Optically, its a big step up from the kit lens, but the focal range isn't very different. If you want a new FoV, then the 16-45 and 17-50 might not be for you.
I'd still push you to check out the 15mm (https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/122-lens-clubs/86234-15mm-limited-controls-my-mind-club.html) -- its my favorite lens.
Budget needs to be Lower than CAN$200.00. --->>> because of the CAN$ exchange rate.
Do you want prime or zoom?
Are older manual focus and M42 lenses acceptable?

This round of meetings has been focused on building confidence among the warring parties, with pre-talk measures that included a prisoner swap agreement and the evacuation of wounded rebels for medical treatment.
The agenda will feature topics such as the opening of Sanaa airport, lifting the Houthi-imposed siege on Yemen's southwestern city of Taiz and fine tuning the details of the prisoner swap deal.
The Yemeni government also plans on requesting that the rebel Houthis relinquish their control over the port of city of Hodeida.
Yemen's war has left at least 10,000 people dead and generated the world's worst humanitarian crisis. International pressure has mounted for the two sides to end the conflict. The United States has called for a ceasefire and reduced some of its logistical aid for the Saudi coalition, while Iran has also signaled support for the talks.

Hemp, a species of cannabis plant, has been valued since ancient times for its fibers and seeds, but it's been illegal to grow in the U.S. for decades. That all changed in late 2018 with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. It included a section legalizing hemp production, paving the way for what many are calling the next big cash crop.
The change in hemp's legal status was a long time coming and paves the way for this beneficial plant to be treated like other crops, instead of an illegal substance.
The legalization of hemp is cause for celebration for more than just hemp supporters, who have been spearheading legalization attempts for decades. The move has ramifications for human health and the environment, now that this plant will no longer be treated as an illicit drug.
"The spread of cannabis took place from China to the Middle East and the Mediterranean area and, subsequently, to Europe, probably via nomadic peoples. Starting around the year 600, the Germans, Frankish tribes and Vikings produced rope, cloth and garments from hemp fiber.
WWII brought with it a brief boost for hemp, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) encouraging U.S. farmers to grow the plant and the government offering subsidies for hemp cultivation. About 1 million acres of hemp were planted in the U.S. during that time, and the stiff fiber was used to make parachutes, uniforms, tarps and other products useful to the war industry.
"After the war ended, the government quietly shut down all the hemp processing plants and the industry faded away again," the HIA noted.6 The final nail in the coffin came with the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which grouped hemp and marijuana together as Schedule 1 substances, a classification reserved for drugs with "high potential for abuse" and "no accepted medical use."
Three years later the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was formed to enforce the newly created drug schedules, and the fight against marijuana and hemp use began.
Marijuana Versus Hemp: What's the Difference?
While both marijuana and hemp come from the cannabis plant, hemp is low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the substance that produces the "high" associated with marijuana use. Whereas hemp typically contains 0.3 percent THC or less, marijuana may contain anywhere from 5 to 35 percent THC, according to HIA.
Marijuana is typically used for medicinal or recreational purposes, whereas hemp can be used for a variety of applications ranging from food and medicine to clothing, construction, body care and even plastic. You can't get high from hemp, but its high CBD content makes it attractive for medicinal purposes.
Further, whereas marijuana must be grown in a carefully controlled atmosphere, hemp is easy to grow and thrives in most climates. Generally speaking, cannabis sativa, which has long and narrow leaves, is grown outdoors and has higher CBD and low THC, producing no psychoactive effects.
Cannabis idica, on the other hand, has shorter, wider leaves, grows best indoors and contains higher THC, which produces the high most recreational marijuana users are after.
However, because many hybrids have been produced, it's not possible to identify these qualities from plant name alone.9 According to the 2014 Farm Bill, hemp refers to cannabis sativa plants containing 0.3 percent or less of THC, and that definition remained unchanged in the 2018 Bill.
In 2013, Colorado legalized industrial hemp farming for commercial and research purposes, provided the farmers verified the THC levels and paid for a permit. In 2014, the Farm Bill also included a section that allowed hemp cultivation for select research and pilot programs, and dozens of states introduced pro-hemp legislation to follow.
What Will the Legalization of Hemp Mean for CBD Products?
"[T]he FDA requires a cannabis product (hemp-derived or otherwise) that is marketed with a claim of therapeutic benefit, or with any other disease claim, to be approved by the FDA for its intended use before it may be introduced into interstate commerce. This is the same standard to which we hold any product marketed as a drug for human or animal use.
CBD can come from either marijuana or hemp. Again, the distinction between these two plants hinges on the THC content. Hemp has very little if any THC, whereas marijuana will have varying amounts of THC. Hemp products such as hemp oil and hemp extract are legal.
So even though they may have small amounts of CBD, hemp products such as hemp oil can be lawfully marketed, provided they don't reference CBD or claim to cure any diseases. This is a potential loophole the CBD industry could use. The drawback is hemp products may not have much CBD in them, and they may not be clinically effective.
The hoopla over hemp is well deserved. Its seeds contain nearly as much protein as soybeans and all nine essential amino acids, especially arginine, which is beneficial for heart health.
Two main proteins in hemp seed protein, albumin and edestin, are rich in essential amino acids, with profiles comparable to egg white. Hemp's edestin content is among the highest of all plants. Hemp protein is also easy to digest because of its lack of oligosaccharides and trypsin inhibitors, which can affect protein absorption.
Hemp seeds are also an excellent source of plant-based omega-3s and include a balanced 1-to-3 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. Hemp seeds, especially those with the hulls intact, are also rich in fiber and contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc and B vitamins.
Medicinal uses aside, hemp seed oil is used in body care products while the fiber can be used to make fabric, clothing, paper and even a recyclable hemp plastic and hemp concrete. There are reportedly more than 25,000 industrial uses for hemp,20 and this probably only scratches the surface of what this versatile plant is good for.
The legalization of hemp in the U.S. will now make it easier for humans and the environment alike to enjoy the benefits of this natural wonder plant once again.
