The World Premiere of Greg Kellers' 'Honky' - Urban Stages Theater Through April 07, 2013 - Midtown West
When a black sneaker company hires a white CEO, their commercials begin glorifying the "ghetto" and sales triple among white teens. But when violence erupts in a black community, the shoe designer blames the ads and promises revenge.

Luckily, there's a new racism pill on the market advertising, "If you don't think you need it, you're probably a racist!"

The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames - Hudson River Museum Through May 19, 2013 - Yonkers
In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, which became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and the United States. The Hudson River Museum's exhibition, "The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames," explores the panoramic vista as the ideal expression for a new, all-embracing way of seeing the landscape that influenced how the public and artists perceived it as well. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr. worked to express this panoramic perspective in their choice and depiction of vistas. Havell and other artists in the exhibition such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Kensett, favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression. "The Panoramic River" features loans from museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: Baltimore Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fenimore Art Museum, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; and Princeton University Art Museum. "The Panoramic River" is organized by Hudson River Museum co-curators Bartholomew Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with additional essays by Pat Hardy, Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings, Museum of London, and Geoff Snell, Doctoral Student, University of Sussex and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England. The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue have been made possible by a generous grant from the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc. On view through May 19, 2013.

Davidoff Millennium Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 10 reviews
"You Get What You Pay For"
The price is high but this is a quality cigar. Better if you let the cigar sit your humidor for a while to age the tobacco. The cigar is listed as full but I found the smoke to be medium with hints of earth and cocoa. Worth a try.
Anthony in California September 14, 2013
Fantastic - the best I've ever smoked (including Cubans). I agree they are too expensive, but if I wanted to spoil myself this is definitely what I'd reach for!
Ron in Seattle, WA September 14, 2013
"These are the finest after i age them additionally"
Nothing beats these cigars after additionally aging them 2-3 years. They stand up to some of the best medium weights from any country.
John in Oakland, Ca April 7, 2009
"Pretty good but too expensive!"
We had a smoke out at the boss' house with these. It started off a bit harsh but smoothed out at the end. I still think graycliffs are better.
Yoop in Oklahoma May 30, 2008
"Great but a tad expensive."
I really enjoyed this cigar. I have had about 5 of them and they have been terrific and consistent. You really can't go wrong with this stick if you insist on an expensive name going with a great cigar. Nonetheless, there are many cigars out there that are just as good if not better for a fraction of the price.
Jason in Louisiana December 13, 2006
"One of the Best (Cubans included)"
Truly one of the best I've ever had, including cubans. I've been to Cuba twice, and they're not as good as they used to be. As good as a Cuban Cohiba rubusto. Price isn't bad when compared to Cuban prices, and well worth it. Anything non-cuban can't compare to this; good job Davidoff!
Dr. Patrick Peterson in S. Illinois January 15, 2006
"Great Smoke, But Too Much $$"
The Millenium Robusto is a great smoke, full and spicy with a nice dry aftertaste. Unfortunately, this cigar is grossly overpriced in my view--you can get a comparable Ashton VSG or Fuente Don Carlos, both of which are superior cigars, for several bucks less per stick. Also, I have had some tight draws on these smokes, and retailers who are usually good about exchanging plugged cigars are a little bit less inclined to do so at $17 a crack. If you like full-bodied Davidoff-manufactured cigars, I'd receommend the AVO Domaine series.
Mike M. in Minneapolis May 29, 2005
"Very fine cigar"
A wonderful cigar. I had read postive reviews of the Millennium Blend, so I gritted my teeth and shelled out for a single-stick Robusto in a moment of weakness. I was still surprised at how thoroughly I enjoyed this cigar. In appearance, the Davidoff is beautifully constructed, with a perfect cap and handsome golden-brown wrapper ringed by Davidoff's distinctive bands. Rolling the cigar in my fingers, it seemed tightly packed, but on lighting I found the draw was just right, producing billows of fragrant smoke. While the Millennium blend is relatively full bodied, the cigar nevertheless has a creamy, velvety-smooth character, with a slightly sweet finish. A symphony of smooth, subtle flavors, without so much as a hint of a harsh note. It burned perfectly, and I must say I was disappointed when I had smoked it to the nub and had to put it down. It's true that there are other very good cigars available at a lower price, but this Davidoff Millennium is an exceptional cigar. I cringe at the price, but I will recommend this cigar to my friends.

"Overpriced and Underperformed"
Fortunately, started with a single (who wouldn't at that price?) and discovered a terribly harsh and boring cigar. Many, many less expensive and much better smokes out there.
Dan in OKC June 29, 2004
"Good Smoke"
Had high expectations for this one. It started off really spicy and STRONG. A little too strong for my taste. It mellowed out very nicely half way through. This is a very beautiful cigar. However, the flavor is not worth the extremely high price. If you like harsh cigars with a bite, you might like this one. I like smooth cigars with a lot of flavor - this one was harsh with a lot a flavor till I was half way through it. No thanks.

PHOENIX -- Arizona's Family grew by one Monday when our April Warnecke welcomed Charlie Austin into the world.
Caught on camera, big brother Greer looked proud -- and perhaps slightly awed -- to be a big brother. Charlie had a good grip on his brig bro's finger. It's already clear that they're going to be best friends and have some fabulous adventures together.
Born Monday morning, Charlie weighed in at 8 pounds and was 20 inches long.
April called in during "Good Morning! Arizona" Friday to chat with Kaley O'Kelley and Javier Soto
She explained that Charlie is named for her grandfather.
"Of course, you know Greer is named after one of our favorite towns, so we picked Austin for a middle name because that's another one of our favorite towns," she said.
April is naturally head-over-heals in love with the new little man in her life.
"My heart is going to explode!" she wrote on Facebook Friday morning, thanking everyone for their support and kind words. "I feel so incredibly blessed."
Mom and baby are doing great. Dad and big brother are fabulous, too.

University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center

Researchers have found that a soy phytoestrogen preparation was ineffective for diminishing hot flashes in breast cancer survivors. This is despite soy phytoestrogen being touted by some to be helpful for diminishing hot flashes.
Charles Loprinzi, MD, and colleagues developed a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in which breast cancer surivovrs with bothersome hot flashes were randomized to receive a soy phytoestrogen tablet three times daily for four weeks, followed by four weeks of a placebo tablet; or thyerapy in the reverse order. Hot flashes were measured using a daily diary.
There were no significant toxicities experienced by the 132 women in the tiral. After four weeks of treatment, mean hot flash numbers decreased by 22 percent for women on soy and 33 percent for women on placebo. Hot flash "scores" (determined by multiplying hot flash numbers by mean hot flash severities) decreased 26 percent for women on soy and 36 percent for women on placebo. At the conclusion of the study, 33 percent of the women indicated a preference for the soy preparation, 37 percent preferred the placebo and 37 percent indicated no preference.
Sep 14, 2011 - Venlafaxine and clonidine effectively manage hot flashes in patients with breast cancer, with hot flash scores reducing more immediately with venlafaxine than clonidine, and reducing more significantly with clonidine during week 12 of treatment than with venlafaxine, according to a study published online Sept. 12 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

A recent post on Damn Interesting drew the Ranger's attention to a tree he'd vaguely heard of, but of which he never really knew the story.
The Tree of Ténéré in 1961
The Tree of Ténéré (or l'Arbre du Ténéré) was an acacia in the Ténéré desert, an area of the Sahara in Niger. It was the very last of a once-great forest, and towards the end of its life it was in fact the only tree in a 400 kilometre (250 mile) radius. This made it an important landmark, one which was marked with respect and affection by travellers in the great desert. Continue reading The world's loneliest tree… and its ironic fate

Harry Teague speaks fondly of his early mentors: Fritz Benedict, who gave him his first job in Colorado, and Charles Moore, Moshe Safdie, and the other leading lights he studied under at Yale in the 1960s. And while he struck out on his own early in his career, Teague has long embraced mentorship from the other side of the drafting board as well.
Glenn Rappaport, principal at Black Shack Architects in Basalt, Colo., credits his erstwhile boss with clarifying "the relationship between regionalism and modernism. Harry was great about all that. He'd say, 'Go up to Leadville and drive around the alleys.' I saw through Harry how I was going to give language to some of the things I was very attached to in the region."
Brad Zeigel, a partner at A4 Architects in Carbondale, Colo., is still sparked by Teague's originality some 10 years after he and fellow alumni Michael Hassig and Olivia Emery left to found their own firm. "Harry's inquisitive, unsatisfied with the last solution," Zeigel says. "He's a leader in the area, and people always wonder what he's up to. People are always knocking on his door, and it's always open. He's a huge influence here, but it's more than just architecture. It's also the Aspen Community School and what that created. He's affected a lot of people's lives."
Some former associates, no doubt, would have liked to make a career in the firm, but Teague deliberately has avoided taking a partner. As sole principal, he explains, "I'm intimately involved in all design decisions in the office. It's why I do it; the point is to be able to do this part of the work, the design work." Architecture is a collaborative art, he believes, but the purpose of his practice is not to build a dynasty. "It's more to engage in these quests and discoveries. And if you get the message, there's no other choice than to go off on your own."
Given Harry Teague's family background, it would be surprising if he hadn't become a designer of some kind. His grandfather, the pioneering industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague, penned Art Deco cameras for Kodak in the 1920s and 1930s and served on the design board of the 1939 New York World's Fair. His father was a car designer. Harry Teague, 66, remembers growing up "in an ambience where everything was judged: Every building, every product, everything." Amid this ongoing critique of the made world, he was exposed to some of the icons of 20th-century design. "When I was a baby, I was in a hammock on a Herreshoff S-Boat," he says. In the workshop of his family's northern New Jersey home, "we restored a Type 37 Grand Prix Bugatti." But, destined or not, Teague's career as an architect diverged from the beaten path of his forebears. The difference can be summed up in a single word: Colorado.
As a newly minted Dartmouth graduate in 1966, Teague spent a year working for Aspen, Colo.–based architect Fritz Benedict, a Frank Lloyd Wright disciple who designed the master plans for the Colorado ski towns of Vail, Snowmass, and Breckenridge. "He had a rich sense for the mountain landscape. I learned a ton from him," says Teague, who calls his internship "more like an initiation." In 1969, on summer break from architecture studies at Yale University, he returned with some fellow students to build sprayed-concrete domes. "The next summer we found a client and did a house," Teague says. He made the pilgrimage annually throughout his Yale years, producing experimental work for adventurous clients. "It was crazy," he says now, "but it didn't cost much."
Teague's Yale thesis project was an innovative design for the alternative Aspen Community School, and after graduation he and group of friends returned to the mountains to build it. "When we came out [of school], people went in some different directions, some to the bigger firms," he remembers. "And then there were those of us who were perfectly comfortable camping out in order to do what we wanted to do." Adopting the moniker SLOW (for Society of Loosely Organized Workers), the group lived in camper trailers on the site, where, Teague recalls, the nearest neighbor was the famously erratic journalist Hunter S. Thompson. "He actually shot out the lantern of one of our campers."
Teague's approach to architecture reflected the openness of the times. Through his work at Yale, then under the deanship of Charles Moore, "I got a sense that architecture could work in a social context as well as a physical context." The school design grew out of extensive interviews with students, parents, and teachers. Based on an interactive model of education—Teague used garage doors to open classrooms to a central courtyard—and inspiration from Italian Renaissance architect Francesco di Giorgio, the building made novel use of log construction. It was an immediate success (and an enduring one; some 40 years later, it remains the home of a thriving community institution). Further educational projects were not forthcoming, Teague says, "but we did have wonderful [residential] clients who liked this crazy idea we had with logs—the economy, the exuberance." While most of his colleagues drifted away after the project was finished, Teague stayed on, adopting the SLOW Construction name for his own design/build firm.
Yale had emphasized hands-on construction experience, and running a design/build operation extended that practice. "I learned a ton and got very confident with materials," Teague says. But after a time, "my learning curve flattened out. I would design for one month and build for 11. I was anxious to develop my design more." A turning point came in a commission for another nascent institution, the Anderson Ranch Arts Center, where Teague converted an old barn to gallery space and offices. "That was probably the last job I pounded nails on," he remembers, "and it was with some reluctance, because there's something wonderful about going home at the end of the day and having produced something tangible." But if he lost his calluses, Teague found his groove as a regional modernist. "I developed this vernacular of working with old buildings, and adding things to them that were new—and obviously so—but worked with the old things." The project also introduced him to the clientele that has supported his residential practice ever since.

Scouting the Astros
• Oswalt has chipped away at an ERA that reached 9 after two starts. The Astros ace is 9-5 with a 2.79 ERA in 23 games (22 starts) against the Cardinals in his career. He has struck out 16 in his past 18 innings.
• After acknowledging he is two years older than his baseball card says, Miguel Tejada went on a tear. He went 14 for 27 (.519) in the next six games, including consecutive four-hit games and eight RBIs.
• Closer Jose Valverde, who led the NL in saves in 2007 for Arizona, allowed five earned runs in 11â"3 innings at Philly. But he bounced back with three K's and a win in 12â"3 innings Tuesday.

Cysts may form within any tissue in the body. Most cysts is the lungs are filled with air. Cysts that form in the lymph system or kidneys are fluid-filled. Certain parasites, such as trichinosis , dog tapeworm (Toxocara canis), and echinococcus , can form cysts within the muscles, liver, brain, lungs, and eyes.
Cysts are common on the skin. They can develop from a clogged sebaceous glands (acne-related cysts) or form around something stuck in the skin. These cysts are benign (not cancer) but can cause pain and changes in appearance.
Cysts can be drained or removed with surgery depending on the type and location of the growth.
A pilonidal dimple is a type of cyst.

Rutgers Is Officially On Fire…3 for 3 With Blackout Smokeshows
Introducing Alyssa from Rutgers. Its no surprise that Rutgers is 3 for 3 this week. At any given time I think I could rattle off at least 15 straight Scarlet Smokes. What is gonna be surprising, is when Rutgers students complain that the Blackout Foam Tour didn't come back to Starland Ballroom. Once again to be clear, Starland banned us. We're not invited back. So if you're a Rutgers student looking to Black the fuck Out in the Foam, you gotta head down to Trenton October 25th at the Sun National Center.
You're gonna need a ride down there, so head over the the Buses2Barstool facebook page. You can get all the info you need about getting a bus ticket too and from Fckin Foam in Trenton. Easiest cheapest and safest way to Blackout, get to at least 3rd base in the Foam, and then head home with the rest of Rutgers to bring the party back to campus.

A friend told me that a high school classmate of hers died in a traffic accident this week. She heard he was a passenger in a vehicle that was rear-ended. Chances are, someone was following too closely, and if so, the accident was avoidable. Perhaps the driver was distracted, or in too much of a hurry. It's tragic for the victim and his family, but otherwise a traffic fatality hardly registers a blip … Read More

Set up 2-Step Verification
Set up 2-Step Verification for your domain
Enable 2-Step Verification for your domain
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Click Security > Basic settings.
Where is it? - Under 2-Step Verification, check Allow users to turn on 2-factor authentication.
This makes 2-Step Verification available for your users, but does not automatically enroll them. To enroll, users need to configure their verification settings individually. See Set up 2-Step Verification.
Account recovery recommendations for administrators
Here are recommendations to make administrator use of 2-Step Verification more reliable and secure:
- Avoid using secondary email addresses that do not support 2-Step Verification themselves. If those accounts become compromised, so can your Google Apps administrator account.
- Organizations with multiple administrators should use each other's help for account recovery rather than a secondary email address.
- Organizations with a single administrator should print out backup codes to speed account recovery and avoid the use of insecure secondary email addresses.
- Administrators who want more control over how codes are received are encouraged to use our smartphone app with up-to-date software, and printed backup codes.
Tips for deploying to users
- Your users won't be able to enroll in 2-Step Verification by going to https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig. Instead, instruct your users to follow these steps to get to their 2-Step enrollment page.
- The URL https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens won't take your users to the Authorized Access to your Google Account page. Instead, instruct your users to follow these steps to generate an application-specific password for their mobile device.
And to help users make a smooth transition to using their new sign-in process, we recommend that you deploy this security feature as follows:
- Notify your users of this new security process and include instructions on how to get started. See a sample email notification.
- Point your Help Desk or Support staff to the Troubleshooting 2-Step Verification information to help them get up to speed.
- Consider running a pilot program targeting users with smartphones. You can set up a deployment day where your users take their phones and laptops to your Help Desk. We recommend that your IT staff sets up 2-Step Verification for your users and enters application-specific passwords where needed in their mobile devices and desktop applications.
- Once all users have enrolled in 2-Step Verification, you may enforce its use following the instructions in Manage your users' security settings.
Disable 2-Step Verification for your domain
Uncheck Allow users to turn on two-factor authentication to prevent new enrollments or modification of existing enrollments. Users who have already enrolled would continue to be asked for 2 factor code.
Unenroll individual users
- In your Admin console, go to the Users page.
- Click an individual user.
- Unenroll the user by clicking Show more > Security.
This change takes effect immediately. The user also receives an automated email from Google explaining that they are no longer enrolled.

Find fine sets of hand tool belts
When you are choosing tool storage equipment, you have to consider several factors. These elements include accessibility, construction, security features and portability. Different forms of storage serve different purposes. From small carry-along boxes and pouches to storage belts and full-chest combos, Sears has the right storage for your tools. With unlimited organization options, you can also assemble your own custom toolbox.
Tool belts can ease the work process for anyone. Hand tool belts come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate your needs. The sheer variety available means you will need to consider which belt will best fit the job. A framer's tool belt like the Craftsman Heavy-Duty PVC Reinforced Framers Rig includes suspenders to support the extra weight of larger tools and numerous pockets to carry everything you need on the job or for your home project. Similar tool holders are not just tool belts; they serve as personal assistants. With your tools by your side and your hands free, you can work safely and efficiently without needing to take numerous trips to collect different tools. Simply keep frequently used tools on the same side as your dominant hand.
The Craftsman Heavy-Duty Electrician's Pouch, designed with special clasps to hold roles of electrical tape, a cellphone holder, an easy carrying handle and an adjustable belt, may also serve your purposes. However, if you are simply looking for a tool belt to make those small repair jobs at home a little easier, the Craftsman Carpenter Rig is a practical choice. The tool belt features plenty of pockets for your hand tools, nails, screws and other fasteners. The reinforced contractor grade fabric will not wear down over time. This tool belt also features a specified tape measure pocket to save room in the other five major pockets.
If you work in a garage as either a wood worker or a mechanic, tool carts can be a better option. With carts, you have the ease of mobility without needing to carry the heavy load of tools around with you. These carts come in different sizes and designs as well. You can get a single-level cart or one that has drawers or multiple levels. If you just conduct regular oil changes or tune-ups on your personal vehicles, a cart model like the Sunex Service Cart with Locking Top and Drawer is an ideal choice. This tool cart features two separate levels and a single drawer. You will have ample room for your mechanics tools. Your tools falling off while moving will not be a concern: It features high-sides to keep your tools secure when transporting from one side of your garage to the other.
If auto repair is more of a profession for you, a tool cart might not have enough storage room. In this case, tool chest combos are a more convenient way to keep your tools secure and organized. The Craftsman 22-drawer 40-inch Combo has plenty of room for every tool you could need in the auto repair industry. This tool chest features three different sections and large rubber wheels for easy transport around your garage or shop. Ultimately, it comes down to efficiency. Choosing the right tool transport or carry-on will enable you to do your job better.
Nothing is more annoying than disorganized or inaccessible tools when you are trying to complete your masterpiece. We offer tool storage and tool storage accessories to make completing your project a little easier. Whether it is a tool belt, cart or tool chest, Sears has the storage options you need. Shop Sears today to keep your tools safe, handy and secure!

I was wondering if it possible to put nylon strings on a steel string guitar.
Is it possible? If not why?
In theory, you could. In practice, however, not necessarily - at least not without some problems. Steel and nylon strings are mounted differently. Nylon strings are simply tied around the bridge, while steel strings have ball-ends that are pulled up against the bridge by string tension. In most steel string acoustics, the strings are held in place by tapered friction pins that push the ball-end beneath the soundboard, thus securing the bridge end of the string in place. Putting nylon strings on such a bridge might be very difficult (simply tying strings around the pins might not work, since friction is the only thing that holds the pins in place). If your guitar has a tailpiece of some sort that the strings pass through, you might be able to tie the nylon strings around that, although it may not be as easy as with a dedicated classical bridge. On the headstock end, steel string capstans are generally shorter and narrower, accounting for both the lesser thickness and better grip of steel strings. You might be able to secure nylon strings onto the tuning pegs nevertheless, but you might experience string slippage and associated tuning problems. Of course, there are other issues involved as well - such as those mentioned by @Dr Mayhem and @Judv. Steel-string acoustic guitars are constructed to deal with higher string tension and thus may not respond to nylon strings like a classical guitar. All things considered, it's generally a good idea to stick with the purpose the guitar was designed for. |
Yes, you can. Not so much the other way round, as steel strings on a guitar built for nylon strings may snap the neck entirely due to the increased tension, but popping nylon strings on a guitar built for steel strings will work. It may not sound as good as you would like, as the build will have been optimised for that higher tension etc, but go for it. |
Most Modern guitars have a truss rod in the neck which means that tention or lack thereof is not an issue for bending or snapping - especially if applying nylon strings to a steel string guitar. Neither is the attachment of strings because ball end nylon folk strings are available. The real difficulty is the with of the neck and the depth of the string grooves at the nut end of the guitar. Nylon strings because of their lower tension tend to vibrate and flex more than steel strings and generally need a slighter wider neck to accommodate this - this is why nylon string guitars tend to have wider necks(besides the type of playing that also occurs). The nylon higher strings (G, B, E) are also thicker than their steel string counterparts and wont fit in as snugly to the nut string grooves resulting in a higher and uneven action which will affect playability. You could widen these with a nail file but thats a very permanent solution and one you might regret. The woods and bracing are also different between both guitars although this might not be such a big deal if playing through a pickup. |
Aside from looking at how to attach the strings on the bridge side of things (nylon strings are almost always traditionally tied on to a pass-through of the bridge), the real problem may be binding in the nut. Nylon strings are significantly larger than steel strings and the nut slot on a steel string guitar may not compensate for this drastic difference in string size. Also, nylon string guitars are usually not radius'd on the fretboard to compensate for these larger strings and their increased path of vibration, unlike a steel-string guitar which has a slight radius to compensate for hand comfort (which goes along with the added pressure of pushing down the string). The radius and saddle setup may come into play when getting a nylon string to sit just right on the neck. As said before, it's best to use a purpose-built guitar for nylon strings. I was just at Guitar Center the other day and played some cheap classical guitars in their classical room. Some sounded much better than the ones costing 3x+. If you're serious about classical guitar, and not just looking to relieve pressure on your fingers that nylon strings may provide, it would be a worthy investment to get yourself a good classical guitar. If you were to go and get yourself a good, affordable classical guitar, one wedding gig and it will pay for itself. If you were to convert a steel string to nylon, some very possible problems would be:
There is a type of nylon string set that is designed to be installed on a guitar with the kind of bridge with bridge pins that you find on a steel-string guitar. Look for "folk guitar nylon strings with ball ends". But if you use them, you'll certainly need professional work done to adjust your truss rod and to modify your nut and possibly your bridge saddle also. |
