I hate you. Seriously, I really hate you. Please don't misunderstand me, I. FUCKING. HATE. YOU! I hate so much about you. It's why your ring tone is Kelis' I Hate You So Much Right Now.
I hate the way you turn yourself off for no reason. I hate the fact you tell me I have a message when I don't, and then refuse to remove that silly icon at the top. I hate that your touch-screen is unreadable on even a partially sunny day. Partially! For fuck sake!
I hate the fact I can't change the picture on your screen anymore. I hate you for cutting off my calls for no reason. I hate you for ringing other people in the middle of my conversations. I hate that your stupid little pencily thing falls out easily and is impossible to buy anywhere other than on eBay. I hate that I can't change you until April. I hate the fact your menu is only intuitive to Stephen Hawking. I hate that you've stopped telling me when texts arrive.
I hate that sometimes, when it suits you, you selfish bastard, you can't be bothered to ring and so calls go straight to the answerphone. And then I think, is that a message or are you lying again? I hate that you're not compatible with Apples. And let me tell you something, you're not a real computer. You're not even a real phone. In fact, you PISS ME OFF, IN SO, SO MANY WAYS, YOU BASTARD.

Today I came across two news items which struck me as absurd. In the first David Cameron was making a speech in which he defended the government's economic 'policy of deficit reduction', which is better known as austerity. In his speech he came out with all the usual stuff, including the fact that reducing government spending was the only way to cut the deficit, and that there was no alternative. But clearly he is wrong. As others, including even Vince Cable have stated, there are very real alternatives. In a shrinking or stagnant economy its more difficult to reduce a deficit, and that, after three years of austerity is where we are now.
The problem in our economy is lack of demand caused by high levels of unemployment, and falling living standards for the 99%. In those conditions people can't afford to buy, and tax revenues fall, especially when commodity prices are rising. If governments increase spending on much needed infrastructure projects such as social housing that stimulus creates jobs, raises tax revenues and revives the economy. You don't have to be a Keynesian to subscribe to this view. The key point though, is that it has never been cheaper to borrow money, so this is the time for governments to spend. Furthermore, there is really no need for our government to borrow, it can create money through quantitative easing (QE). The Bank of England (BoE) has created £375 billion of dosh through QE without any beneficial outcome because it has been wasted on buying bonds. In effect all this has done is benefit the very banks which caused the crisis in the first place by increasing their profits! What we really need is green QE, which means spending money created by the BoE on building environmentally friendly homes, investing in renewables and creating a million green jobs. This will revive our economy, help end the misery of unemployment, create the renewable energy we so desperately need, and move us towards a green economy for the future.
The second bit of news was as priceless as Cameron's failed analysis of the 'need' for austerity; Mervyn King who is still governor of the BoE today put forward a cunning plan to sell off the infamous Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). This consisted of splitting RBS into a 'good bank', with all the profitable bits, and a 'bad bank' containing loads of nasty debt. There is a huge problem with this plan because the private sector gets the good bits and we, i.e. muggins the taxpayer, gets to pick up the bill for all the nasty stuff, which we will no doubt be paying off for the next generation or so. But there is a much better plan. Split RBS and give the 'good' parts to the taxpayer to create a green national investment bank, and give the 'bad' bits back to the people who created the problem in the first place - the bankers and their shareholders.
These two news items speak volumes about the people who run our country. They live in the past. They have no idea of what is good for the UK and the people who live here. They serve the interests of a narrow and privileged elite. These are the real benefit scroungers - to use their own terminology. They leach off the state to the tune of £billions whilst seeking to deny the poorest and most disadvantaged people in our country the tiny amounts of money needed to keep them going. They also haven't a clue about the restructuring our economy needs to undergo if we are going to create a green economy to deal with climate change. We deserve much better than his, and the only way to achieve real change is to campaign, agitate, and ultimately vote for a positive alternative. That alternative is the Green Party. Join us and help make that change happen. There is no time to lose.

Cold Open To A Mediocre Mystery
The last few crystals from that pile of snow in my backyard were making a valiant attempt over the weekend to hold on until Chris Sale's first scheduled pitch on Opening Day this afternoon on the South Side.
On Friday, winter's final vestige appeared to be a cinch to survive the beginning of the baseball season. The seasons' transition grabbed my attention as spring made an appearance the past couple of days. By Sunday, however, the crystals were gone, and our prospects for a comfortable opener appeared possible.
Still, the forecast predicts "unseasonably cold" temperatures today. Let's face it, our city is just plain cold at the beginning of April; the word "unseasonably" is neither necessary nor accurate.
Just two years ago, when the Sox beat Tampa Bay 5-1 in the opener, the thermometer reached a high of just 39 degrees.
Then again, a year ago, when the Sox opened at home (beating Detroit 5-2) on April 13 after five road games, the thermometer hit 64 degrees.
Not only was the game memorable for a Sox win over the eventual American League champion, but this was the day Miguel Cabrera - batting in the first inning - pointed out to the home plate umpire that Roger Bossard's chalk lines for the batter's box weren't in the proper place. Cabrera claimed that they missed by a few inches.
Bossard has performed this work since 1967, so he's had some practice. However, the umps concurred with Cabrera, whose expert perception and eyesight helped him go on to win a Triple Crown.
That Bossard and his crew didn't quite get it right a year ago is less surprising than what the entire field will look like this afternoon. How can the grass be so green and luxuriant when just a couple of days ago I had snow in my backyard?
I know about hot-house tomatoes. This must be a hot-house baseball park. The grass in our neighborhood won't be this green until Memorial Day, yet the field at the Cell will be in mid-season form.
Today's crowd will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 38,000. It is listed as a sellout. Not since 1999 - when the Sox drew 26,243 - has a opener drawn less than capacity. So every home opener this century has been a sellout.
Last season, the announced attendance was 38,676. The unfortunate aspect - at least for the team's sales department - is that none of the other 80 home dates drew as many fans as Opening Day.
Not only have the Sox been successful from an attendance standpoint on Opening Days since 2000, but they've given ticket-buyers plenty to cheer about. They've won 11 of 13 home openers in the 21st Century. They'll be looking for their sixth in a row today.
If last season's miserable performance against the Kansas City Royals - 12 losses in 18 games - is any indication, our athletes will be mightily tested when Sale inaugurates the season at 3:10 p.m.
He'll be facing James Shields, a stalwart on the Tampa Bay pitching staff for the past six seasons who was traded to Kansas City over the winter along with pitcher Wade Davis for minor league Player of the Year Wil Myers. Myers, who will begin the season with the Rays' Triple-A affiliate, slammed 34 homers in 2012 and drove in 109 runs.
Of course, none of these came at the big league level, so theoretically the Royals gave up very little to get two legitimate big league pitchers.
Kansas City has hit the ball all over the park the past few seasons, but they've been sabotaged by poor pitching. Now they think they can make a move up in the standings because they still have guys like Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer, and emerging start Salvador Perez in the lineup.
Most of the prognosticators have already given the division to the Tigers while predicting that the Twins will finish fifth. The Royals with their improved pitching and the Indians with Terry Francona at the helm are expected to battle the White Sox for the middle three positions. The consensus is that the Sox will finish third or fourth.
How can you argue with that? The Sox are basically the same team that finished 87-75 last season. Sure, they led the division for 117 days before stumbling in September. But let's be honest - the Tigers were the superior team.
Therefore, how can the White Sox be better with the addition of a third baseman, Jeff Keppinger, who has been more or less a utility man his entire career, and the subtraction of A.J. Pierzynski, who hit 27 home runs last year with a .278/.326/.826 line?
The other guys simply have to play better. Adam Dunn can't hit .204 again, nor can Gordon Beckham have another season at .234. The outfield of Dayan Viciedo, Alejandro De Aza and Alex Rios has to produce at the same or higher levels than a year ago. Paul Konerko needs to show at age 37 that he has something left in the tank. Tyler Flowers needs to be a productive replacement for Pierzynski.
All of which says nothing about the pitching which the front office deems to be the Sox's strength. Can the young pitchers of last year - Addison Reed, Jose Quintana, Nate Jones, Hector Santiago and Sale - continue to mature and improve? Will Jake Peavy ever come close to his Cy Young level of six seasons ago? For that matter, will Gavin Floyd come close to the pitcher he was when he went 17-8 in 2008?
I've hit the question mark so often in this article that I may have to get the keyboard repaired. The Sox are gambling that Robin Ventura and his coaching staff will be able to put all the pieces together into a contending team, which is improbable but certainly not impossible.
And it all begins this afternoon in front of a chilled full house. The good news today is that the air will be slightly colder than my refrigerator, which means the beer will stay cold. The bad news is that infamous coldophobe Alexei Ramirez may call in sick. But if the Sox win, we'll soon forget about the temperature we endured.
Roger Wallenstein is our man on the Sox beat. He welcomes your comments.

David Denby
February 8, 2018 | 7 p.m. | 3508 Knauss Hall, WMU
"The Humanities in the Age of Demagoguery"
The results of the presidential election of 2016 and the months after the Presidential inauguration suggest that the habits of mind ideally inculcated by both the humanities (an appreciation of human complexity, a respect for observed and imaginative truth, moral intelligence) and the sciences (respect for observable evidence and experimental trial) have not really taken hold in a large part of the country. Public discourse has been poisoned by the politically opportunistic abandonment of observable truth and moral reasoning. How has this situation come about? Are the humanities, including serious reading at all levels of education and later life, capable of exerting some check on these tendencies? Or are we lost in an age of ideology in which any truth claims are absurd?
David Denby was born in New York in 1943, and went to Columbia, the Columbia Journalism School, and Stanford's Communication program. He was a movie critic for forty-five years, at The Atlantic, The Boston Phoenix, New York Magazine (1978-98), and The New Yorker (1998-2014). He has published two books on reading and teaching, "Great Books" (1996), a study of Columbia's core curriculum program, and "Lit Up" (2016), an account of tenth-grade English at three public schools in America. His other books are the autobiographical "American Sucker" (2004), devoted to greed and loss during the tech-bubble era; "Snark" (2008), an analysis of low sarcasm in journalism and politics; and "Do the Movies Have a Future?" (2012), a collection of his best movie writing from The New Yorker.

a selection from the drop-down list.
Ships That Pass in the Night is the favorite song of a lot of people on the Sprawl album. What was the background to writing it?
I was asked to write music for a show called The History of Pornography, and was sort of given a free rein to do whatever I wanted within the show. Unfortunately, the show was not a big hit. It ran for about a month. But the music was nice, and Ships That Pass in the Night, was a pet song of mine. It was a song that I wrote pretty much for myself and was sort of an experiment; I had five women singers that were all pretty good and I wanted to work with them.
The concept is about lonely people in a state of compulsion and fear of human contact. For me, the five voices, each with their clashing harmonies, and the drums with that march-like feel, captured a stark, night-time quality that I wanted to express. It was a wonderful moment in the show because it was just five women on a dark stage, and I was singing in that song. I also conducted the rest of the show, which is amazing because I am not a conductor. As I was singing, I was also hitting a microphone that had a delay on it--sort of sounding like a heartbeat. That was pretty much the only percussion along with the voices until later on in the song when a drummer came in with that march kind of a sound - a very stark quality.
How did the song fit with the rest of the music in the show. Where does it fit with the rest of your output over the years?
As far as the show went, I wanted a pre-Berlin cabaret feel to the music. I also wanted a pretty eclectic mix of things. Ships That Pass in the Night was sort of an anomaly in that it had a very original, stark quality which fit with the other music in its own quirky way. Im very interested in "the voice" and exploring qualities of "the voice." In that respect it is definitely an exercise in what "the voice" can do to express whatever it wants. I havent had the luxury of four backup singers too often. As far as the exploration of the clashing harmonies, I dont do that live that often.
How does it fit with the rest of your output over the years? Ive seen you on stage a few times and every time I see you it seems to be different.
I try to do something different every time I write a song. I try to explore a different
It is a very distinctive song, which leads me to the subject of one artist covering anothers songs. Do you think artists are the best singers of their own songs?
I definitely dont think that an artist is necessarily the best interpreter of their own song. Thats part of the problem with Pop music today because there are a lot of really wonderful singers that are just singing their own songs, but their songs arent necessarily that interesting or strong. What you get is a lot of recordings that are not just that interesting, although the performances are. Its often been in the way of wonderful things that could have been happening or could be happening in music right now with singers. There are plenty of wonderful songwriters that probably shouldnt be singing, and their songs arent getting out there as much as they might. I like the way I interpret my own songs, but I also feel that songs sort of become their own thing and take on a life or a spiritual quality of their own. Its up to another artist to bring out their own spirit in that song.
When you look for a song from somebody else, as you do every so often, what sort of songs do you gravitate towards? What makes you choose them, and which songs have you chosen?
Well, I love singing songs by other people, and I am very selective. I always try to record or sing songs by other artists in my own performance work. Currently, I am singing a song by Joe Primrose called The St. James Infirmary, which is an incredibly haunted song, and I love to sing it. I sort of put in a little Theramin type part, which is another thing that you can do-- put in your own part and somehow change it, which Ive done a lot. I also do a cover of Dr. Johns, I Walk on Gilded Splinters, which has always been one of my favorite songs. I do a cover of I Put a Spell on You by Screaming Jay Hawkins. I am very fascinated with the idea of magic and Voodoo in this very technological culture that we live in-the juxtaposition of magic. Its a pet subject of mine. These songs deal with the magical, and they can be magical when theyre
I also do a cover version of a wonderful song by Jesse Winchester called Black Dog. I do a version of The Ramones, I Want to Be Sedated. Its an arrangement that my bass player thought of at the last minute during our last recording session, and it is sort of a dirge version of I Want to Be Sedated. I think it is quite hilarious.
You seem to be going in the opposite direction from the modern technology with the insistence on magic. Do you think it is increasingly necessary to balance ourselves that way now?
I dont believe in magic, but I want to believe in magic. Im an atheist. I dont believe in God, but I am fascinated with the concept of magic and the spiritual. In art, that is what moves us as artists--the spiritual. I guess I shouldnt really say that I dont believe in it, but I believe in something that sparks us. The concept of magic, to me, is sort of the spark. I find it fascinating that so many people are preoccupied with buying lottery tickets and seeing therapists. I feel that is sort of the same. What motivates them is perhaps the same root that motivates people to seek magic. Maybe its just wanting to control reality, and thats one way.
What is your current group line-up?
Right now I have a bass player, who also is experimenting with different kinds of processed pedal and bass pedal sounds. My drummer also plays various percussion instruments while hes playing a standard kit--like bells and horns, and the whole thing has a sort of wind-up monkey kind of feel. My current saxophone player uses a lot of different sound processors that alter the sound of the saxophone quite a bit from song-to-song. I was performing with an electric harpist, but unfortunately that didnt work out, but I do record with her. I play guitar, and I sing, and I started working with something that I call the electric baritone kazoo, which doesnt look at all like a kazoo. It looks more like some strange horn from another planet and I put different sound processors on it. Its sound is sort of a cross between a whale and Miles Davis.
By what process does a group like this evolve? You didnt wake up one morning and think the perfect ensemble for me is.... How did it all come about?
I do a lot of performing in New York City. The most important thing for me has been to have a kick-ass rhythm section and then a very strong lead player. I tend to go with the saxophone because it makes a nice contrast with my voice, and we can do all kinds of tricky sonic things together. Thats what led me to the saxophone. In my most recent recording, My Life as a Singing Mermaid, I was fortunate to work with a producer, Bradford Reid, who has invented this very unusual instrument called the pencilina. Its sort of a cross between a koto (a traditional Japanese stringed instrument), a slide guitar and drums. I was able to get a unique lead sound with that instrument. As far as keeping things pared down for live performance, thats always worked the best for me--that sort of a line-up.
It all sounds very integrated on-stage, but do you find any resistance in the audience or from club owners because you do have such an unusual line-up?
sometimes feel like the club scene is a problem, and has been for at
least the last ten years. The bottom line is how many people you can
bring to the club when you do a show, which perhaps puts the wrong kind
of pressure on
the artist because she is responsible for everything--putting the band
together, promotion and doing their thing on the stage. It becomes not
about art--it becomes about, you know, dollars, filling a club.
The job of an artist is, obviously, to communicate, just as some peoples job is to sweep the streets or drive a taxi. At which point does the promotion get in the way of what you want to say? At which point does the efficiency of the message just become a little too mechanical?
As far as Im concerned, it puts a lot of added pressure on me, and there have been plenty of days when I feel like, instead of sitting down and trying to write, I have to worry about how Im going to promote myself and all these things. If I had a manager, I think that I wouldnt have to worry so much about things like that. Theres a lot of my time spent doing them when I should be working on my art or craft.
Would it be ideal for you to get a major record deal, or do you think that would provide even more distractions?
Im a typically lazy artist. Id say I spend maybe an hour a day staring out the window. Then I make some phone calls. I make lots of lists; I have lists all over my apartment. Fortunately, I have a really good view. So, when I stare out the window, Im staring at the river--the Hudson River. Its worth staring out the window. I make lots of lists, and I make lots of phone calls. Each phone call is stressful, but I have to make it. I try to put aside time everyday to practice and to do some writing. Thats my life.
How do you go about writing a song? Some people sit down and write a song by nailing themselves to a chair and waiting until it comes. Some people seem to put it out fully formed. Is there such a thing as a song which just comes in ten minutes?
Ive had really wonderful experiences where I picked up the guitar and just started singing into a microphone and tape recorder--and the entire song came out--everything. I just had to hone some lyrics here and there. But thats very, very rare. Usually, theres no set way, but a lot of times whatll happen is a phrase will come into my head. I got a phrase in my head a couple of days ago--the secrets of the sideshow--and I thought, "Wow, that is going to make a great song." Then you think, "Well, what should the song be about--what are the secrets of the sideshow?" Should they quite literally be the secrets of the sideshow? Should I do some more research into the jargon of sideshow, or should it be about something else and then this is like a mysterious thing that you cant quite decipher? Or, should it be about sex.
I sit with my notebook, and I just start writing. Lyrics start to take shape, hopefully, and then maybe Ill plug in my guitar, and just start playing, which I did in this instance. And, I came up with a really interesting riff, and I thought, "Okay, wow!" So, maybe, in a week or two, Ill have a great, new song, or maybe itll take another year or two. What Im saying is that these are seeds. I think great songs usually come from seeds, and a line or a riff is usually a good enough seed to grow a great song.
What would be your great songs of all-time list, and why would you think they were great songs?
I love the song, I Walk on Gilded Splinters, and the thing that I love about that song is the mysterious quality. It's got a very dangerous quality, like there is something very dark. I would like to say "evil," but I don't know if it is. It's more like-- a living thing--which for me it is--the song. There's a menacing quality to it; the same way that you might look at a cloud over the Hudson River. It might look very menacing, but it's beautiful at the same time, and there's a spirit that lives in that song. I think there are spirits that live in all great songs.
It's funny that you should pick that song, because, when Dr. John sings the original, he mumbles so much, and has such a thick accent, so many people sing many different lyrics. What sort of mistranslations have you experienced when people get the mood of a song and then start imposing their own words on it?That particular song? Well, theres the famous, "Tell Alberta" part, and Ive heard, "Did I murder?" I guess the funniest one is, "Did I murder?" But, the actual line is, "Tell Alberta," which is a prison code for "somethings up," and what it is thats up, cant be good, and you can just leave it to your imagination what that might be, which adds certainly to the uneasy feeling of that song and its mood. But, you know, somethings always up in life.
That song now must be thirty-five years old. What do you think is it that makes a song timeless and that can enable it to exist in different surroundings and different social circumstances?
Certainly, a song needs to have its own integrity, and not be trying to please, but just beexpressing. Most timeless records dont have a particular sound of a particular time. They just exist as beautiful works of art. Think back even to Miles DavisKind of Blue, that album. You wouldnt listen to it and think, "Wheres it from--sixty-three?" You wouldnt think of it and say1963. Youd listen to it and youd enjoy it for what it is. I think that its the same with any great song. Like that song that I mentioned before that I cover, I Put a Spell on You, by Screaming Jay Hawkins. His version has just an amazing feeling and an amazing mood that he gets in that recording of that song. It doesnt have anything to do with trying to fit in with a certain market to sell a record.
In order to communicate there has to be some common point between the audience and the artist. How far do you think its possible to push an extreme style to, say, a typical downtown audience before they dont get it? You mentioned earlier about the timeless quality of certain songs which can exist in different styles, but we see a lot of songs just emerging within a style because that happens to be it at the moment.
I find myself in the last few weeks buying new records just to hear the production of the record. I think weve come so far away from the song, and its perhaps like marketing an artist by getting a wonderful production happening. That has nothing to do with the content. There are a lot of really beautifully and interestingly produced records coming out right now that are kind of lightweight as their songs go. I dont really want to name names.
Do you think that recently there has been much more of a tendency to gift-wrap rather than to have a real thing inside the box?
Yes. Definitely. But there are beautiful gift-wrap papers around.

Anita here with a fun way to organize your colors of twine so you know which one's you have. This system is perfect for popping into your purse or crop bag and taking to your favorite scrapbook store to match the colors of your twine perfectly with your card stock and patterned paper.
I used a Silhouette cut file of an embroidery floss card and increased the size and cut a bunch for my project. I used some adhesive on both sides of the card and ran three colors on twine on each card. I also cut some extra cards for any new colors that I will of course just have to have. It was actually great to see what colors I do have. I am able to fit most of them in my fab desk but some are in another cabinet and now I have all the colors right at my fingertips for perfect project selection.
Be sure to see what colors you actually have and then check out The Twinery store to see what colors are on your must have list to complete your color palette.

- About Us
The Vancouver Art Gallery presents exhibitions of work by artists ranging from historic masters to leading-edge contemporaries. These include major thematic exhibitions, presentations of solo artists and smaller, more focused showcases. In a typical year, 2 to 3 exhibitions are borrowed from other institutions and 10 to 12 exhibitions are developed in-house, drawing on our permanent collection and loans of works from around the world. In addition, the Gallery tours a few of its exhibitions each year.
Fred Herzog
Untitled (Chinatown), circa 1939
inkjet print,
Courtesy of the artist and Equinox Gallery,
Born in Germany, Fred Herzog came to Vancouver in 1953. Since that time, he has produced a substantial body of photographs, taking urban life in Vancouver -second-hand shops, vacant lots, neon signage and the crowds of people who have populated the city's streets over the past fifty years-as his primary subject. Herzog has self-consciously drawn upon documentary traditions in photography while incorporating something of an outsider's idiosyncratic sensitivity to a new environment into his work. Within his images, bodily gesture, the detritus of consumer culture and the architecture of the street take on a heightened resonance, as the impact of modernity becomes visible in the everyday life of the city.
Much of Herzog's work was produced on Kodachrome, a colour slide film that was difficult to work with in a spontaneous fashion. Herzog's use of colour was unusual in the 1950s and 60s, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black and white imagery. In this respect, his photographs can be seen as a pre-figuration of the "New Colour" of photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, which received widespread acclaim in the 1970s, and the work of contemporary Vancouver photographers such as Roy Arden, Arni Haraldsson, Karin Bubas and Christos Dikeakos.
Herzog has been active in Vancouver's art scene for more than forty years, while working as a medical photographer from 1957 to 1990. During that time he participated in group exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada, Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver Art Gallery and UBC Fine Arts Gallery (now the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery). This exhibition is the first to examine Herzog's overall body of work and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated book co-published by Douglas & McIntyre.

Seeing The Great Barrier Reef was undoubtedly one of the highlights of all my round-the-world trip. AWESOME!! 🙂
My trip to the Reef started in Port Douglas, which is way nicer than neighbouring Cairns. The North of Queensland feels like a tropical paradise, with sandy beaches, clear turquoise water and palms. Just have a look of the Four Mile Beach from this lookout:
From either Port Douglas or Cairns, there are heaps of tours that offer snorkelling or diving in The Great Barrier Reef. I took one of them and from the early morning we sailed towards three different spots in the Reef.
Once we got to the Reef, the crew handed out the snorkelling gear, and so I got prepared with this weird look :):
And so it's time to get into the water and get wet!
The first impression under the water was just AMAZING!! I could see everything crystal clear, with such strong and beautiful colours. There were many fish wandering about, also with spectacular colours. I had never snorkelled before and I thought I'd see the colours much less bright and everything vague under salt water, but the truth is that I could spot everything really clear. It really feels like being inside a National Geographic documentary!! 🙂
I encourage all of you to do the same. It is not cheap, but it's worth it. If you have a higher budget, you can also dive, which is more interesting. Or if you have even more time and budget, there are also multi-day scuba diving courses, and I can't imagine a better setting for taking one of those!

With the Easter weekend well underway you may have a pile of empty Easter egg boxes building up.
All parts of the packaging can be recycled at Sainsbury's, Edenthorpe, until April 14.
The specially designed Easter recycling facility allows customers to recycle the plastic, card and paper.
The scheme was launched last year and proved very popular with customers.
The Christmas card recycling scheme collected 88 tonnes of cards across the country, which amounted to a donation of £12,276 to the Forest Stewardship Council, helping to protect the world's forests.
Sainsbury's Head of Sustainability, Engineering, Energy & Environment Paul Crewe said: "We're proud to offer the recycling facility to our customers and colleagues. Recycling is an important part of Sainsbury's environmental commitment and the Christmas card and Easter egg recycling schemes have been really popular in the past, it's a great way of reminding people to recycle."
Easter themed activities are also taking place in store, including Easter raffle, Easter hunt and Easter photo booth.
All donations raised through the activities will go to CLIC Sargent Sainsbury's Local Charity of the Year.
For more information about the scheme or the activities, call the store, on Thorne Road, on 01302 880462.

Simon Cowell and Snoop Dogg
May 28, 2008
Simon Cowell
Hard to Please
Enterprising, brassy and not afraid to bark what's on his mind, Akira is Idol-maker Simon Cowell!
There's no beating around the bush with Akira and flattery will get you nowhere. Akira calls it like he sees it, and stands firm on all fours behind his decisions. The cat definitely does not have Akira's tongue—some of his pals think he's bitter and confrontational, while others find him to be impawsibly hilarious. Akira's influence on those around him is remarkable, and he takes advantage of this fact and uses it wisely. Behind his no-nonsense mask, Akira is a perceptive sponge, taking in what he sees and hears around him, and then figuring out how to make it look, or sound, better.
Snoop Dogg
Smooth & Cool
Swingin' hard and keeping it real in his 'hood, your little homey is Snoop Doggy Dogg, yo.
Bustin' out superfly vocals that keep his lady friends perched, ready and on the edge of their seats, Shiro knows how to have a good time with his peeps and is not ashamed to show it. A big fan of the bling bling, Shiro is fashion fit and costume conscious, even willing to go a little over the top at times. Rich like butter and phat with flavor when he rolls, Shiro is well aware of the heads he turns along the way. Often seen hangin' with the big boys, Shiro is one tough cookie and knows how to paw his way out of a confrontation. But despite his occasionally feisty flare, Shiro is romantic and poetic, a true-blue Casanova through and through.

If this entire story isn't enough to keep everyone as far away as possible from butt injections — whether giving or receiving them — we don't know what is. Padge Windslowe, a 42-year-old Philadelphia woman who calls herself "the Black Madam," has been charged with third-degree murder for her role in the death of Claudia Aderotimi, who died after undergoing the cosmetic procedure.
Windslowe was arrested at a "pumping party" at a Philadelphia home in February, more than a year after Aderotimi's death, NBC reports:
Police say Aderotimi, 20, flew from London to Philadelphia with three friends to get the injections. She received the injections in Feb. 7, 2011, at a Hampton Inn in Southwest Philadelphia, according to police. Aderotimi complained of chest pain and difficulty breathing following the procedure and died a few days later at a Delaware County Hospital.
One of Aderotimi's friends, Theresa Gyamfi, said she had received a similar injection from the same woman in November 2010.
Gyamfi identified Padge Windslowe as the woman who injected both of them.
The woman whose injuries led to Windslowe's initial arrest said she spent two weeks in the hospital with severe respiratory problems, The Associated Press reported. A doctor who testified at a hearing in May said silicone particles had migrated to the woman's lungs.
Windslowe also bills herself as a musical artist who uses "Black Madam" as a stage name, the AP said.

So it seems like I can release some new music once a year and for this new piece I actually made two different versions as I thought I could make another better version of the song. You can check out the new songs right here: Bright Io and Dark Io
I am again releasing yet another experimental program. It is a rather simple 3D WebGL demo featuring a somewhat complex rotating object. The best thing is that it runs right on your web browser so you have no reason not to check it out right here. The program is also available on GitHub.
I'm releasing a new experimental program called the all RGB image generator. The idea is to generate images in which each pixel has a unique color while also using as wide variety of RGB colors as possible.
You can see the program here and also on GitHub.
Today I'm releasing one of the coding projects that I've been working on. It is a honeypot website that gathers all the data that bots and everyone else send to it and displays that data to everyone. You can see the honeypot in action right here if you happen to be interested in seeing what kind of stuff gets sent to websites. The code for this project is also available on GitHub.
I just released a new song Era and also released another one back in last September. The visualizations I created for these two songs were also higher quality than my earlier visualizations. 60 fps and 1440p resolution this time instead of 30 fps 1080p like previously.
Also, as I apparently said in my last news post around a year ago, I indeed have also been working on some coding project. One of those is almost finished right now and I should really be able to release it soon and put the codes on GitHub.
It has been a whole year since the last time I released any music and I haven't been releasing too much of anything else either which is a real shame... as always. Anyway, I just went ahead and released two new songs during the last month:
I'm also working on some new coding projects in addition to all the old stuff that is still unfinished, and I should eventually be able to release some new stuff on GitHub. I also have some new songs coming out and I should be able to release something in a couple of months.
It's been a terribly long time since I've written or released anything here which is a real shame, and I really haven't got much work done on any stuff either. I do have a lot of plans to make some of my older stuff open source and release them on GitHub and of course create some music with nice visualizations.
But anyway, I've just released the source code of SteamBot, the Steam community web crawler, on GitHub under the MIT license. Do consider however, that you should not run your own instance of the SteamBot because there already is one being run by myself and it doesn't give any benefit to run more instances. I'm only releasing the code for people to learn stuff.
