Unbelievable! Don't get me wrong, it is not the fact that pop-up ads appear all over commercial websites that annoys me; after all, we have had the same thing in magazines and newspapers for many years. Advertisements appear almost everywhere these days, the funding from which is an important part of many companies' business plans. This is not the issue. The issue starts with the difference between physical ads and on-line ads. On-line ads can be dynamic; they are now tailored for the specific individual. The hype has been around the intelligence to target specific products and services that the person is interested in, thereby getting a higher success rate to that person responding to the ads. This is put forward as a form of "intelligent advertising".
In my experience to date, this is complete garbage. I go on-line to buy an external hard disk, do a few searches to find the model that I want, then a few searches again to find the best price, and then, I buy it. Great. What happens next? Loads of "intelligent" targeted advertising telling me about external hard disks. The same ads appear on pretty much every commercial website that I go to. Seriously? This is the sum total of the advertising intelligence? Just find out what the recent searches were made, and then inundate the person with ads for similar products? Having just bought an external hard drive, what are the odds that I would be now looking to buy another one? Same story for the USB stick, the laptop, the office chair, the greenhouse. The fact that a purchase was made is a very critical piece of information that obviously is not recorded and results in the "intelligent" advertising being the dumbest of all. Someone, somewhere, thinks that this is acceptable, perhaps with the justification that people go on-line to do shopping not to actually buy anything most of the time. Really?
The intelligent advertising story sounds good, until you start to think it through. The missing piece of the purchase event illustrates how far away this "intelligence" is from the way that it was originally portrayed. The story was that it is supposed to "know" the person, to be able to understand their wants and needs, to be able to identify products that would be of interest. I was expecting that the intelligent advertising would show me external hard disks before I thought I needed one. A big gap between perception and reality.
I may just be over-reacting, I guess that I have grown sceptical over the years. I really hate it though when people bring "solutions" that are at best just "box ticking" exercises where the story sounds good superficially, and at worst, just a way to make business at the expense of the customer, no matter what.
I know that there are other people who have been "burned" by a solution that had sounded good, where the expectation and the reality were quite a way apart. There has been a wide gamut of solutions out there for PCB-A production, each making their own pitch about what they can do. How to avoid the "intelligent advertising" effect? There is great value in working with a partner who knows the industry, knows your situation, knows the pain points that you are feeling, and in fact, knows what will be the major issues a year or even five years from now. Anyone though can say this. The proof has to be there, demonstrated and proven by the introduction of innovation, solutions that were conceived years before the industry realised that they are a must in order to remain competitive, but now are available when needed, are mature, and really work. Just in time material management, simultaneous work-order and feeder commonality optimisation for production planning, just two of the latest hit technologies, originally conceived years ago, and today available to really meet the requirements of electronics production looking to get ahead, to differentiate themselves. Beware of crude imitations….

The College News Z-616 VOL. XXVII, No. 4 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1940 Copyright. Trustees of Bryn Mawr College. 1940 PRICE 10 CENTS Littell Talks 0ij New Deal's Defense Program Division of Lands Official Reports Successes of Defense Program Common Room, Monday, October 21.�In his address on Foreign Policy and Defense, the Honorable Norman M. Littell. Assistant At- torney" General in charge of the Division of Lands, declared that Mr. Willkie's charges against the Administration concerning defense are erroneous in the extreme, his "misrepresentations of fact so gross that on at least two occasions he himself has been compelled to retract them." Mr. Littell stressed President Roosevelt's realistic un- derstanding of America's interna- tional relationships. To discharge the President now "would be like discharging the captain of a great ship in mid-ocean with a storm raging, because his contract of em- ployment happened to expire at that point." Mr. Willkie's attacks on the Ad- ministration for its defense pro- gram can be proven false, Mr. Lit- tell said, by the record of rearma- ment under President Roosevelt. "In 1932, as the Republican plat- form of that year said, our army had been reduced to an irreducible minimum, and by 1933 we had dropped from the first to the fourth ranking naval power in the world." By the time of the crisis of May, 1940, the New Deal program had already resulted in the reconstruc- tion of the navy up to 395 fighting ships. These, together with 138 under construction, and 200 more for which appropriations have been |de, add up to a total of 733 liting ships (as of September, 1940)�the largest navy in the world. It has also been charged against the New Deal, Mr. Littell said, that money has been spent need- lessly. Few people realize that a PWA fleet has been built since 1933�"a total naval force which is the second largest in the West- ern Hemisphere, second only to the U. S. Navy itself." In addition, PWA and WPA money helped to build army and navy planes, mili- tary airports, aeronautical labora- Conttnued on Page Six Victory The Activities Drive was a success and the total sum has finally gone over the 5000 dollar mark. The margin was very close and the drive is not one dollar over the minimum requirement. A budget will be printed later, showing exactly how the money will be allotted. The success of the drive was the result of individual cooperation and the canvas- sers' enthusiasm. The vol- untary spirit behind the pledges was exemplified by the gifts from the faculty and graduates who have more outside pleas and less responsibility to campus needs than do the undergrad- uates. Benefit Performance To Aid Great Britain Program Will Include Hinde- muth's "Hin und Zuruek," Piano and Vocal Solos The New Library Wing Opened Formally on Alumnae Weekend Swarthmore Offers Series of 16 Concerts The department of music of Swarthmore College has recently announced a series of 16 concerts which will be given during the 1940-41 season.

SELF-GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE BOARD. BMC Freshmen Exhibit In 3rd Question of Lurid Imaginations Self-Gov Examinations By Virginia Nichols, '41 The credit of the college, that delicate and elusive flower, is safe in the hands of '44. Their violent imaginations may conjure up mad-| ness and red death, but unless thought is one with action, Sire, we are saved. The thought may be father to the deed but it will be a wise father that will know its own child, if '44 ^ver brings discredit to the college. The fact that the college had any credit was first brought to the at- tention of '44 by the Self-Govern- ment Association in the Examina- tion of the same name. Probing deep into the subconscious, the third question asked for a specific exampie of bringing discredit on the college. And deep from the subconscious, with the screams of inhibitions in their ears, the class of '44 wrung their answers. There were those that stated as discredit- able what they had always wanted to do, and then those that stated what they hoped they would never have to do. Among the wish thoughts we have the wish to "at- tend a Communist Rally at which one would be arrested by the po- lice." And then the wish to "com- mit a murder which if connected with Bryn Mawr might possibly bring discredit. ..." But on th� other hand we have the feaf thought or trauma. In this cate- gory we place the fear of the water, as expressed in the fear of being seen in a low dive. Or the fear of high pfeces as connected with the sliding down of bannisters in pub- lic places. Or the fear of being alone as illustrated by aversion to dancing informally escorted or not. Perhaps the whole thing should never have been mentioned. Per- haps the little pitchers have too- big ears and this was just asking them to go to the well and break, or perhaps all the naughty ideas of '44 are shut up between the blue covers of a lot of bluebooks and won't ever come out except after dark, which as we all know is "the time when the stars come out if they're coming." Dalton, October 21.�Miss Wy- ckoff, speaking on the history of geology and its theories, opened the series of lectures on the History of Science. Each of the eight lectures forms a background on which the next lecturer builds and elaborates. Next week Mr. Dryden will con- tinue the series with a history of the theories about earth and their relation to evolution in general. "None of the sciences are self- evident in themselves," Miss Wy- ckoff said. Modern research is in- terested in their evolution, and be- fore any of the sciences are com- plete a welding of all is needed. Geology started with the devel- opment of a scientific observation of mineralogy and built up a study of field relationships. Then came the formulation of reasonable ex- planations from these observations and finally, the checking of these hypotheses by chemical experi- ments to form modern geology. Early observations about the form of the earth and its place in the universe were confused with philosophy and astronomy. Aris- totle believed that the earth was composed of four fundamental ele- ments, earth, air, fire and water. Pliny later supplied information and misinformation about rocks, such as the theory that quartz was Continued on rage Four Alumnae Have Conferences With Art, Archaeology Departments On Saturday morning of Alum- nae Week-end, the art and archae- ology departments welcomed the alumnae to the new wing of the library. Miss Swindler and Mr. Carpenter, representing the ar- chaeology department, outlined the development of the department at Bryn Mawr. Mr. Sloane and Mr. Soper, representing the history of art department, explained the changes which the new wing and its equipment bring into the art courses. Miss Swindler discussed briefly the history of^the archaeology de- partment. It was fortunate in the encouragement it received from the start, and in the well-known schol- ars who were its professors. In 1896, Richard Norton became the first professor. He was succeeded by Joseph Clark Hoppen, who sent the first scholar to Athens and be- gan the collection of antiquities. At first there were only two courses, Greek and Italian Art. In 1926-27 honors work was introduc- ed in the department. A course in American archaeology was given in 1928, was dropped during the de- pression, and is being given again this year by Miss de Laguna. Ori- ental archaeology was introduced in 1930. At present the depart- ment offers the most comprehensive work of any institute in the country, and the results of this work can be seen in the importance Continum on Taue Four Calendar Wednesday, Oct. 23.� Industrial Group Supper, Common Room, 6.30 p. m.

Outside speakers who can give a view of France today and its problems will be invited to speak to all undergraduates inter- ested. Director of N. Y. Museum And Rhys Carpenter Give Lectures On Saturday and Sunday after- noon respectively, Mr. Francis Henry Taylor, director of the Met- ropolitan Museum, and Mr. Rhys Carpenter of the Bryn Mawr ar- chaeology department spoke in Goodhart to the alumnae and mem- bers of the college. Mr. Taylor gave the address for the official opening of the Quita Woodward Wing of the liblary. Mr. Carpenter des- cribed "a scholar's year in Rome" and reported on his recent archae- ological discoveries, with photo- graphic illustrations and pfoofs of his conclusions. Mr.,Carpenter's work led to the identification of a statue as Polycle- itus' Medea, of the subject of the Belvedere Torso, and the establish- ment of Virgil as the subject of a scries of portrait busts. If Virgil, and not the Greek poet Menander, is the original inspiration for these heads, Mr. Carpenter believes that Horace and Propertius are the men who accompany- Virgil in a relief on the facade of the Villa Medici. The central figure in the relief group closely resembles the poet of the portrait heads. Mr. Carpenter pointed out that the relief, part of an altar commemorating Augustus, must include Virgil. Consequently Virgil, not Menander, must be the poet portrayed in the relief and in the busts. The famous Belvedere Torso, usually thought to represent Herc- ules, Mr. Carpenter demonstrated by slides and by graphic posing, to be actually a Marsyas playing the flute in a contest with Apollo. The figure of Marsyas was part of a group by Appolonius. Apollo, the other important figure, Mr. Car- penter found only ten feet away from Marsyas in the Vatican, in Continued on Pajce Three Attention, Willkieites!

Unsuspecting Bryn Mawr Senior Swipes Four Hundred Bucks1 Worth of Sparklers By Isabel Martin, '42 Did you know that an unsuspec- ting jewel thief resides on our campus? She is as surprised as you are. Nivvy Alston went to Philadel- phia Saturday to fetch her ailing alarm clock. A small jade pin had also been left for repair in the same jewelry shop. While her clock and pin were being wrapped, she admired the lovely diamond watches in the cases. The pro- prietor, enjoying her naive en- thusiasm, trotted out some of his more expensive pieces. Among them were several diamond brace- lets. After a most delightful half hour, she thanked the shop-keeper and brought her belongings home. She arrived back in Bryn Mawr about mid-afternoon and did not discover until after five o'clock that the envelope she had been carrying contained three diamond bracelets. Police, arrests, trials flashed in her mind. Horrified she ran to the phone and called the store. Fortu- nately it was still open, and the understanding proprietor assured her he would call for them that night. Nivvy entrusted her loot to Miss Hawks and went out to dinner. When she returned at ten-thirty, the diamonds were still on the premises. Miss Hawks frantically ca'led the lax proprietor. He ex- plained calmly that his car was sick and he could not get there to- night. ** ' " And to whom it may concern.� safe-crackers or frantic detectives �four hundred dollars worth of diamonds still reside in the Pem- broke safe.

Aqua Bubble Glass Knobs, Set of 2
I bought these to use on my kitchen island. They look beautiful and feel very solid. They are glass, so don't drop them (I learned this through experience). They look so nice.
October 9, 2012
pretty, but dangerously SHARP!!
I haven't had the same experience with them falling off the stem (like the other reviews), ours are still strong and sturdy, HOWEVER, when picking the best ones out in the store, one or two were sharp cut glass on the underside, and I cut my finger on one of them! Apparently, it was not glued properly in the center and there was an exposed edge, OR one of the bubbles inside the glass was not fully enclosed and had a sharp edge. There were two in the bunch, that I came across, so I assume there are probably more. Just be careful and wear gloves when looking through them!
Otherwise they are very pretty, but probably shouldn't be used in a home with small children for safety reasons.
July 23, 2013
Broke after 2 days
I used the item maybe 5 times over a two day period and the glass knob came away from the stem. Avoid or buy a few packets because you'll need lots of replacements.
February 15, 2013
They broke almost immediately
These knobs lasted approximately a week on our dresser before they started breaking. The glass knob just fell off in my hand. I would have returned them as defective if our receipt had not been mistakenly thrown out in the midst of Christmas craziness. I am very disappointed. This is my first and most likely my last World Market purchase.

Potato-Chip Zucchini Sticks with Lemon-Mayo Dipping Sauce |
From Passover Made Easy by Leah Schapira and Victoria Dwek During the year, we coat anything we want with bread crumbs, or, my favorite, cornflake crumbs. For Passover, potato chips are the perfect replacement. Have fun playing with different flavors, including ketchup, honey BBQ, and onion and garlic chips — but use chips, not potato sticks. Don't skip the dipping sauce! You'll love how the tanginess of the lemon complements the zucchini. This recipe was the first side dish recipe we developed for our cookbook. Ingredients: 3-4 Tbsp oil Lemon-Mayo Dipping Sauce: Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Brush each sheet with 1-2 tablespoons oil. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and then widthwise to form quarters. Slice each quarter lengthwise into about 6 sticks. Place zucchini sticks into a resealable plastic bag. Add potato starch to bag. Seal and shake to coat zucchini sticks in potato starch. In a shallow dish, combine eggs, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Place each type of crushed chips into a separate shallow dish. Remove zucchini sticks from bag and dip into egg mixture, a few at time, then dip in either flavor of crushed potato chips. Repeat until all zucchini sticks are coated. Place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, scallion, salt, and pepper. Serve alongside zucchini sticks. Notes: Yield: 6 servings Recipes: Passover, Side Dishes, Zucchini, Dipping Sauce, Parve, Kosher |

I just received these shoes today and I have to say they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet! I bought them for a big trip this year and wanted something to wear with a skirt or slacks on the nights I want to be a little more dressy for dinner. I love the color, it's a neutral that will go with anything. I read other reviews from people that had worn these shoes on vacation where they did a lot of walking and said their feet never hurt. Well, I plan on finding that out for myself! I normally wear a 7 1/2 or an 8. I bought the 8 and it's a perfect fit. I can't wait to try them out. Thank you Dansko!!
These are probably the most comfortable shoes i own. I just wish I could afford to buy them in every color.
These are the first dansko shoes I have bought and definitely not my last. These are the best sandals I have owned and by far the most comfortable. Standing and/or walking all day in these are not a problem especially with the dri-lex lining which prevents sliding and burning of your feet. I would buy them in every color available were it not for the cost. Definitely consider these when looking for a cute/all around sandal.
Bought the Dansko Sophie Black Women's Sandal in black with white speckle. Had several compliments on how cute and fashionable the scandal was. I wear these several times a week, because they are so comfortable. I went back and bought them in brown. Wish Footwear etc. would get more colors like solid black, patent black. (HINT...HINT) Their competion has other colors, but I'm hoping Footwear etc will stock them soon. I love the store in San Carlos, great customer service. I also like to order shoes on line. Footwear etc.. is the best in my books for my shoes. If you have feet problem, just go to them they will resolve it by showing what shoes are the best for your feet.

For years, parents have been sending their children outside to play. And with all the indoor games and activities that can keep children cooped up inside the house, it's important they get the chance to get outside and be active. Kmart offers tons of outdoor toys for kids of all ages. Our selection will ensure your kids will never be bored again, whether you're looking for a toy power vehicle for your kid, or you're looking to set up a swing set from our Backyard Discovery Outdoor Toys collection.
When the weather gets hot, there's nothing kids, or anyone for that matter, loves more than staying cool with water activities. Start a water war with our selection of blasters that will have your whole family chasing each other around the yard or neighborhood for that opportunity for a sneak attack. We also have plenty of different themed water slides that your kids can slide around the yard on, as well as fun sprinklers and nozzles you can hook your garden hose up to. For little kids, check out our selection of plastic or blow-up kiddy pools that your young ones will love to splash and play in. If you have a larger pool, our selection of pool games is huge. Play pool volleyball, pick up some splash bombs or submerge yourself in search of diving sticks.
For days when your kids would rather stay dry, we have tons of bicycles, tricycles and pedal toys to keep them entertained, active and healthy. At some point, every child should learn how to ride a bike, especially because they're one of the most universal forms out outdoor play. Kids will ride bikes and riding toys for hours, if you let them. If your toddler loves cars, let him try riding a small car he can operate himself with a pedal. Give young ones a taste of what it's like to ride a bike with their first big wheels tricycle. The plastic, easy-to-handle toys come in all different sizes and colors for toddlers and little ones of all ages. Older kids who have shown they can play safely will love out boys' and girls' Power Wheels vehicles. These battery-powered mini cars are a safe and fun way for little kids to feel just like the grown ups.
If you're looking for outdoor toys to bring to the lake, beach or park, we have tons of toys that are perfect for those settings and easy to transport. We have a great selection of Fisher Price girls toys and boys' beach toys that will keep your kids happy for hours, including sand tools and water toys. If you're planning a picnic at the beach or park on a breeze day, check out our selection of kites in all different shapes, colors and with different characters. So regardless of what kind of outdoor toys you need, Kmart has everything you need.

What quality or trait do you share with your mom?
What do you share with your dad?
What quality or trait do you share with your mom?
What do you share with your dad?
You said you weren't picked before to do this because you are boring. You aren't boring. Stop thinking that.
Well, we're both kind of lanky. We're both pleasers who like helping and taking care of people. It validates us and makes us feel needed. I'll help a random stranger if I can. If we're friends, I'll help you dispose of that random stranger you may have "accidentally" killed.
My dad and I are both generous, but spiteful. Rarely do we forgive, and we never forget. We're happy to help and share, but you're in for some shit if you cross us and/or don't appreciate our generosity. And we both have explosive tempers. You've all been warned.
Forgot about this one. When I was around 10 or 11 I had a vicious fever that kept me in bed for two or three days. The first night of the fever coincided with one of USA network's Star Wars weekends, where they played all three movies on repeat for 72 hours. Awesome. That first night, I had watched all of New Hope and Empire, but started feeling really hot and shitty. Not long after going to bed I started enjoying fever-induced hallucinations. I say "enjoying" because in these half-sleep hallucinations I was a young Jedi running around the Cloud City with Obi Wan, doing awesome Jedi shit. I never wanted it to stop. The next two days of fever were awful and filled with vomiting. But that first night was fucking tiiiiiiight.
Which country would you say has the lamest history and why, excluding America?
What was your most memorable experience with a drug if you had to choose one, excluding your previous story [which was excellent btw]?
Where would you like to have your next memorable experience?
Modern countries? Mexico. Pre-history to Spanish = interesting and awesome. Spanish congest to today = booooring. No thanks. I don't think even Mexican nationals give a shit about Mexican history.
One of my most memorable drug experiences was the first time I took the high-grade DXM my friend and I had purchased from the internet in 1998. I forget how much I took but it was enough to totally disassociate from my physical and emotional being. I spent the whole night outside of my body, seeing myself walk around and talk to people. At one point I donned an American flag topat and co-founded the George Washington International Breakdancing Team. Yes, there was much breakdancing. That's about all I remember. Good times.
Single most memorable drug moment is the time I took mescaline while researching the Gram Parsons memorial at Cap Rock in Joshua Tree. After conducting interviews (read: smoking weed with pilgrims to the site) I decided to head home just before sunset. Driving out of the park with my windows down, I was smoking a joint and listening to "Cry One More Time" and there came a moment of sublime bliss. No cars ahead of me or behind me, just mescaline, the wind, music, setting sun, and thousands and thousands of Joshua Trees as far as I could see. One of my happiest moments ever, not just drug-happy.
I'd like to have my next memorable drug experience happen wherever it happens. Make sense? Great experiences cannot be planned or wished for, they simply happen. I think it's stupid when people are like, "Let's to the woods and drop acid" or, "let's go to*blank* and do *blank*." Fucking stupid; just take drugs and have fun. The best trips are never planned.
Greghead, what is the thing that you are second most ashamed of related to yourself and choices you have made?
Greghead, what is the thing that you are second most proud of related to yourself and choices you have made?
Have you ever owned one of these shirts:
I don't know. Can we just do the Jersey Shore cast and call it a day?
Best luck in the conventional sense was when I threw double-six my first time playing craps. We arrived in Laughlin around 6:15 after driving all night from Phoenix specifically to play craps. At Harrah's we meet Lowell. Lowell is in his early-70s and he's rolling the craps table at 7 AM. Lowell and the dealers are ironing out the details of the game for me while I start hitting big rolls. Lowell puts $25 on 12, fucking 20-to-1 odds. *roll* double fucking six. I made that old fucker a lot of money, felt cool. Later that night we cleaned $300 out of a $1 craps table in 45 minutes. Laughlin is the place for craps.
Probably my DUI. That wa pretty stupid and avoidable.
Hmmm. Honestly, I felt pretty proud the first time I could legitimately take my parents out and not have it be an awkward financial burden. I felt like a small measure of adulthood had been accomplished.
Ha, no, I know kids who did. I never owned that super-common Mickey Mouse shirt either. I did have a couple Rollin" Hard t-shirts in the mid-90s. The gangster thing was in, and who doesn't like pit bulls?
Ok, Greghead. My question to you will be the one I ask of everyone.
Please describe for your fans your most perfect day. As many details as possible. Start from the moment you awaken to the moment you fall into bed.
Ready, set, GO!
Perfect Day
My perfect day is one where I'm traveling in Western Europe. Switzerland or the Netherlands. I wake up around 10 and head out for some tea and light breakfast with friends, family, and Jennie. Black teach with a bit of honey and cream. Pastries. Do a bit of sightseeing that actually consists of walks to and from pubs. We find an open-air market and we spend an hour or two going from stall to stall, haggling and talking but never really buying anything. We run across some Germans and they share some good hash with me (unless, of course, we're in Amsterdam, then I'll just buy my own hash). Feeling a little loose, we start thinking of a late lunch. Head to a cafe for small plates a couple bottles of wine. My family decides they're tired and they head back to their hotel, while my friends and I continue drinking wine well into the evening. Finally breaking from wine around 9 or 10, we grab some quick street food (maybe shawarma?) and head to a club for some music and dancing. More drinks now; Jack & water, on the rocks. Lots of those. Puking in a gutter around 3 AM, netsled into bed by 4:30. Don't ask me about tomorrow, it's not going to feel good.
Alternate version
My perfect day starts at home. Jennie and I wake up together around 9 or 10 and engage in a couple rounds of rowdy sex. Morning/afternoon sex is the best, hottest sex. Night sex is tired and less interesting. After a couple sessions she finishes me off with a handie or a blowie in the front of the mirror (I like to watch) and then we get on with our day. Breakfast. Fuck making food, let's go to Stacks and get some pancakes. It's a beautiful day in the city, so we take some time to walk around Hayes Valley before realizing we need to take advantage of the nice weather and get to the beach. On the way home, however, we stop by Grooves, Groove Merchant, and Ameoba, where I finally find Highway 61 Revisited in mono, and it's only $7. Score of the century. After getting home we walk from our house to the beach and spend an hour or two collecting sand dollars, petting dogs, and playing frisbee. We count the number of throws in a row without drops, and today we smash our current record of 63 and get all the way up to triple-digits. Success. After the beach we enjoy a hot shower where we may or may not grope each other inappropriately. Fucking dinnertime, son. We have a feast. Pork chops, stuffed & breaded, mashed sweet potatoes topped with applewood bacon, grilled corn on the cob, and buttermilk biscuits. After dinner, Jennie goes to bed and I stay up repeatedly playing my new Dylan record on my headphones. Around 2 AM I crawl into bed and sleep well.
What word in the English language do you find most disgusting when you say it?
Do you have a story of any points of interest in the city that has a sentimental memory to you?
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
Greghead, what one concert would you be willing to pay the most to attend, and how much would you pay? Please specify the headlining musician/band, opening act, venue, date and time, as well as if they will be playing from one specific album or if they would play a variety of selections. (Reunions are allowed, but all musicians must still be alive.)
A baby is on fire! Quickly put it out! You have the following objects around you, which do you use:
1) A stack of newspapers.
2) Oily rags.
3) A bat.
4) A container of bleach.
5) A space blanket.
6) You disregard everything and roll and tumble with the baby, even though rusty nails will pierce several places in your buttocks and stomach, and will probably cause you to lose your own life.
7) No one is around, so you could always use the "What baby?" excuse.
I'll think about this one.
One night I was severely intoxicated and got lost in Rome for about three or four hours. No matter which way I went I kept winding up back at the fucking Colosseum. I never want to see that fucking building again. Great city, though.
I'm poor, so I really can't pay too much. Were money no option I would pay $1000 to see the Kinks at Royal Albert Hall in London. They play songs from Something Else, Face to Face, and Arthur. Plus a couple off Kink Kronikles
Where is the "Pee on it" option? Because that's what I'd do.
Oh shit, had the same experience in Vienna. Left my sis, her friend, and my cousin drinking at a club and headed back to the hotel. Except I was too drunk to remember how to get there, we had been spending 2-3 days in each city we traveled to and it all began to look the same after a couple weeks. Lost in the city, wasted, no cell phones, or anything with the hotels address. Not sure how I even got back after a couple hours of walking around, something must have just clicked, just recall my group showing up about 20 minutes after I did.

Dang I would have jacked you fools.
Ha, I was lost, not incapacitated. I could have very easily asked how to get back Stazione Termini if there had been anyone to ask. Metro opened at 5 and I took a train home. No sweat. I just fucking hate the Colosseum now.

This is actually a bit difficult to come up with. My tastes skew to the past, so I apologize to any indie fucks I offend with this list.
The Rolling Stones
The Clash
Bob Dylan
Hank Williams
Otis Redding
Elmore James
Thelonious Monk
Charlie Parker
The Band
*Honorable Mentions: Sam Cooke, The Kinks, James Brown, Notorious BIG, Neil Young, Elvis Costello, Gram Parsons, Grateful Dead
* My music fest would be laid out & executed like Coachella 2008, with a lineup closer to that of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Much lighter on EDM and all the shitty electro indie pop that's popular now. Basically, Coachella without all the shitty music.
Great songwriter. "Greatest" belongs somewhere in the Neil-Bob-Townes range, though I'm sure they would disagree with me.
My favorite Hank Williams song, or favorite song ever? My favorite Hank Williams is "Long Gone Lonesome Blues."
Ha. Oddly enough, my dad and I actually have made individual funeral playlists for ourselves. My plan for my funeral is very specific actually. Personally, I don't care about the funeral, you all can do whatever the fuck you want; I'm not going to be there. What I want is for all my friends and family to get together for a party and collectively listen to my death mix and have a good time telling awesome Greg stories. No invitations, all the folks who are supposed to be there will know to show up without any prompting or inviting. Drinks are on me. In fact, I'm already saving for the open bar. I'll post the tracklist in a bit.
The ocean. I like swimming at the beach and stuff, but I'm afraid to get too far out. Humans were not equipped for that environment and our helplessness becomes evident the moment our feet come off the sand. The ocean is just so powerful and there are millions of things trying to eat you. No thanks.
I love nearly all gummy candy, but none so much as Haribo Gummy Bears. I love the flavors, the size & consistency of the little fucks, and the fact that they're fucking tiny squishy bears that you eat! What's not awesome about that?
Black Forest is the only acceptable subsitute for Haribo. So good.
I don't make them hug so much as I perform Frankenstein surgery on them. Who doesn't want a gummy with a green head, white & red split torso, or yellow feet? Delicious.

But the most fashionable name in attendance was Donatella Versace, who joined Time Style & Design at the event along with her friend Rupert Everett.
Before dinner, Versace took in the scene at the Time People/CNN party, and met Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, who attended the dinner with People magazine and planned to write about the event on her blog, McCainbloggette.com. "She's got a great smile and good energy," Versace said of the younger McCain.
After the dinner, the designer joined Time Style & Design editor Kate Betts, Time managing editor Rick Stengel and Washington bureau chief Jay Carney at the Bloomberg after party at the Costa Rican Embassy. Of the celebrities and Washington socials that packed the space, "I would like to meet Madeleine Albright," Versace said, adding that, believe it or not, Albright was one politician she'd like to dress. "She's such a beautiful person," Versace said of the indomitable former secretary of state. "I love her."
Attendees at the Correspondents' Dinner also hopped to gatherings at the apartment of Vanity Fair's Christopher Hitchens, and to Capitol File's party at the Newseum, hosted by Craig Ferguson, who was the entertainer at the dinner this year, and Rosario Dawson. — Stephanie D. Smith
FRIENDS AND FOES: The Overseas Press Club Awards have always been about recognizing the exercise of press freedoms abroad under duress, but Thursday night's awards dinner had undertones of journalistic anxiety here at home. To begin with, ousted Wall Street Journal managing editor Marcus Brauchli was at the paper's table, sitting next to his former boss, Paul Steiger, who retired as managing editor of the Journal a year ago and was set to give the evening's keynote. Across the table was Robert Thomson, Brauchli's old friend from their Asia days, who's the News Corp.-appointed overseer calling the shots at the Journal these days.

Crohn's disease is a disease where parts of the digestive tract become inflamed.
Crohn's disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Ulcerative colitis is a related condition.
Inflammatory bowel disease - Crohn's disease; Regional enteritis; Ileitis; Granulomatous ileocolitis; IBD- Crohn's disease
The exact cause of Crohn's disease is unknown. It occurs when your body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue (autoimmune disorder).
When parts of the digestive tract remain swollen or inflamed, the walls of the intestines become thickened.
Factors that may play a role in Crohn's disease include:
Crohn's disease may occur at any age. It most often occurs in people between ages 15 - 35.
Symptoms depend on what part of the digestive tract is involved. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and can come and go with periods of flare-ups.
The main symptoms of Crohn's disease are:
Other symptoms may include:
A physical exam may show a mass or tenderness in the abdomen, skin rash, swollen joints, or mouth ulcers.
Tests to diagnose Crohn's disease include:
A stool culture may be done to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms.
This disease may also alter the results of the following tests:
You should eat a well-balanced, healthy diet. Include enough calories, protein, and nutrients from a variety of food groups.
No specific diet has been shown to make Crohn's symptoms better or worse. Types of food problems may vary from person to person.
Some foods can make diarrhea and gas worse. To help ease symptoms, try:
Ask your doctor about extra vitamins and minerals you may need, such as:
You may feel worried, embarrassed, or even sad and depressed about having a bowel disease. Other stressful events in your life, such as moving, a job loss, or the loss of a loved one can worsen digestive problems.
Ask your doctor or nurse for tips on how to manage your stress.
You can take medication to treat very bad diarrhea. Loperamide (Imodium) can be bought without a prescription. Always talk to your doctor or nurse before using these drugs.
Other medicines to help with symptoms include:
Your doctor may also prescribe medicines to help control Crohn's disease:
Some people with Crohn's disease may need surgery to remove a damaged or diseased part of the intestine. In some cases, the entire large intestine is removed, with or without the rectum.
People who have Crohn's disease that does not respond to medications may need surgery to treat problems such as:
Surgeries that may be done include:
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of American offers support groups throughout the United States.
There is no cure for Crohn's disease. The condition is marked by periods of improvement followed by flare-ups of symptoms. Although Crohn's disease cannot be cured even with surgery, treatment can offer significant help to most patients.
You have a higher risk for small bowel and colon cancer if you have Crohn's disease. At some point, your doctor may recommend tests to screen for colon cancer.
Those with more severe Crohn's disease may have these problems:

I was never a fan of mild smoke `till I met Don Tomas. It was a creamy smooth smoke. Nice all the way to the nub.

"pretty good litey"
hay early sunday afternoon and waiting for my famous order to come in on monday i ran over to the dollar store to pick up a smoke for the day,and bought this one , i dont know why because i am a 95% maduro smoker, but what the heck, and the price was right....not bad, thought it might be a dry , tasteless cigar i was wrong, pretty good flavor, nice aroma, good burn and draw, good all the way through. the best lite cigar i've smoked, if i get a sale i'll pick up a 5 pack........pretty good

"Serious Tunneling Issues"
Have enjoyed these cigars for years, but have always experienced "tunneling" in 2-3 per box. In most recent box I've had 12 cigars "tunnel" out of 22 lit. Highly unlikely that I'll order this cigar again.

"Too mild for me"
Picked up a 5-pack on Cigar Monster to try out as an alternative morning smoke. This cigar looks great, is well-made, burns, draws and ashes decent. The taste is smooth and even builds some half-way into the cigar, but its just too mild for me, even for the first cigar of the day. Would be good for a newbie looking to get into premium cigars.

"No doubt a great smoke for the money"
I prefer a medium strength cigar with some spice to it, but for the money you really can't go wrong with this very mild stick from Don Tomas. Presentation is good, tightly wrapped, even burn, nice draw and an easy, mild flavor. It's nothing special, but it's good for a casual smoke with your buddies or solo.

"Good Smoke"
Good taste, draw, and make. Worth the $$$.

"Nice, mild creamy smoke"
This is a nice smoke when I'm lookng for a very mild stick. The 52 ring gauge has a good draw and quantity of smoke. There is not a lot of flavor but the tast is smooth and creamy throughout. A couple of sticks in the box were a tough draw but overall for the price I am very satisfied with the 600 and robusto

"Amazing complexity for a milder smoke"
If you like something mild--but not too mild--these are great. No harshness or bitterness--just a lot of depth and a pleasant sweet/spicy flavor. Not bland at all--like a lot of milder cigars. Construction and burn are perfect. You can't relight them, though--it kills the flavor--smoke it all in one sitting.

"A stick of crap"
I smoked these years ago and liked them, so when they went on sale, I bought a box. What a mistake like sucking an apple thru a straw and the taste was terrible from the begining to the end. I tried three of these so far and there all consistent {Crap}.

There is a lot of buzz about Android at the moment. Indeed, I have written about it here, as has my colleague Scott. A lot of the discussion is around the topic of the new Android-powered smart phones that seem to appear on a daily basis. Just about every handset manufacturer seems to have jumped on the bandwagon. I have no problem with this. Far from it. I really like my Android phone and would encourage … Read More
