| Anne Frank given musical makeover
What will sell this show is its 13-year-old Cuban-born star Isabella Castillo, who shows great maturity and energy in the title role, portraying Anne Frank as sensitive and imaginative, but also as an essentially normal teenage girl. She gawps at boys, rows with her mother and whispers excitedly to her sister about getting her first period. The diary, which went on to become a historical treasure and sell 40 million copies, was often referred to by Anne as "Kitty". Here, Kitty is given a human face, in the form of an on-stage alter-ego played Basque actress Patricia Arizmendi. Meanest thug As a production device, it helps - we witness Anne's private hopes and fears, rants and desires. But again, if Anne Frank were to see this production, she might reasonably ask: "Who dressed Kitty?" The human diary first appears in a red chiffon dress with a fat sequinned belt and big hair - much like Wonder Woman going to a black-tie event.

Few people apparently knew much about what was happening at 11 Coach Lane in Barnstable until Ann Gryboski shot and killed Lancaster on Easter Sunday. She told police she killed him as he came at her when she attempted to break up a fight between him and their 25-year-old son, Christopher. Gryboski, a doctor in South Yarmouth, also told police that Lancaster had physically and mentally abused her and their two sons for years... Read the rest of this Globe story here.

Canon PIXMA mini260 photo inkjet printer
White, rounded, portable, and armed with a scroll wheel, the Canon Pixma mini260 is reminiscent of Apple's iPod. And like the popular music device, this printer is a good companion to any Mac. This modestly priced compact printer produces high-quality 4-by-six-inch snapshots quickly and quietly. It also includes a few extra perks that make it appealing to more discerning shooters. The mini260 prints best on several different types of Canon photo paper including matte, glossy, and pro varieties. Canon offers a $28 package that includes 100 sheets of its glossy 4-by-6 photo paper and a three-color cartridge, for a cost per print of 28 cents. Thanks to Canon's ChromaLife100 system, the mini260's prints look excellent: the colors are accurate; the images are crisp and clear; overall, the photos look professional.
Commission adopts compromise on archery permits
Information, that Mark Henckel, confirmed in his November 22, 2007 article, which blamed the outfitter for leasing Block Management properties. This is just not true, you will be amazed to find out that the outfitters are leasing much less, in Region 7, then they did in 2005. I would recommend that you get your facts correct. No one will accept the fact that the Montana resident hunters are leasing up property for their own personal hunting. Even though there is no way of knowing exactly how many acres the residents are leasing, but I wouldn't be surprised that it is approaching what the outfitters are leasing, in the state. The MBA certainly can't claim they are: improving landowner - bowhunter relationships. The landowners are very upset with the adoption of these tentatives and feel the MBA is partly to blame.
Trapper Byrne
Gomez confirmed to Hora that he had been arrested and then was released on bail on a domestic violence case and that none other than Goodman put him back in the clink two weeks ago because of a "dirty" or positive drug test. Goodman smiled. Gomez confirmed to the DA that Goodman's order was separate from the inmate's appearance in the jurist's courtroom. Gomez said he was introduced to Reiser while both were in jail. Reiser introduced himself as Thomas, Gomez said. (Thomas is Reiser's middle name). Hora played the KTVU clip for the jury. We see Kraig Debro doing a quick teaser for the body story. We see reporter Claudine Wong doing an intro for another story. We hear the familiar Channel 2 anthem. We see Steve Paulson giving a quick weather update, followed by Sal Castaneda and traffic.
Local photographer’s first exhibit exceeds CAC’s sales average
The curator used just one word to describe the mood. Shocked, said Marilyn Ritchie, CAC curator and visual arts director. People were shocked. Nobody expected his work to be so beautiful. Six of Brandons photos were sold. Its not usual for people to buy that many photos at an exhibit, Ms. Ritchie said. Two or three, maybe, but not five and six. Thats a lot. People dont buy photographs as frequently as they purchase paintings and sculptures, the longtime curator said. For some reason, people dont see photographs as art, but (Brandons) photos - you look at them, and you know theyre art, Ms. Ritchie said. Ive never seen a photo exhibit be received so well. Catchlight Borrowing a term from photography, the exhibit was called Catchlight.
Defend yourself from bad buying
Smart spending advice is all around, and deals abound in all categories of spending. Sometimes it can be a quick tip that provides the ''ah-hah'' moment -- the figurative light bulb goes on -- and ''ka-ching,'' money stays in your pocket.
Here's a list of tips and insights, from holiday spending to phone services.
Holiday regrets. How's that holiday spending hangover? Long after the gift-wrap found its way to the landfill, people had regrets about how they spent their money and their time over the holidays, according to a post-holiday survey. I helped develop the survey with personal finance speaker Matt Bell of MoneyPurposeJoy.com and market-research firm Synovate.
About 30 percent of people said they wished they had spent less money on gifts during the holidays, and 28 percent wished they spent less time shopping in stores.
