Thomas Cutrer's ancestors have been buried at Spring Creek, Louisiana, since 1804, whence they fled at the end of the War of the American Revolution. (They were Tories.) Two grandfathers (several greats ago) as well as three great-great uncles served in Company B, Sixteen Louisiana Infantry, CSA. Earning a B.A. in history at LSU in 1969, and serving for three years in the US Air Force (including a tour as a combat intelligence officer in Viet Nam), Professor Cutrer earned an M.A. in American literature at LSU in 1972, and a Ph.D. in American Civilization at the University of Texas in 1980. Presently a professor of American Studies at Arizona State University (at the West campus), Cutrer's main fields of interest are the cultural history of the American South and nineteenth-century U.S. military history, especially the American Civil War. His books include Parnassus on the Mississippi: The Southern Review and the Baton Rouge Literary Community, 1935-1942 (LSU Press, 1984), which won the General L. Kemper Williams Prize of the Louisiana Historical Society and the Louisiana Literary Award of the Louisiana Library Association; Ben McCulloch and the Frontier Military Tradition (University of North Carolina Press, 1992), which won the Summerfield G. Roberts Award of the Sons of the Republic of Texas; Longstreet's Aide: The Civil War Letters of Major Thomas J.

Howard Strouse - Amazing Grace: Champions of Abolition
A native of Ohio, born during World War II, Howard has been fascinated with history from boyhood. Throughout his travels in 22 countries and 48 states, he has always been interested in how things evolved and how our country grew and protected itself. His particular favorite is the U.S. in the 19th century, especially the Civil War period. Mr. Strouse's undergraduate work was completed at Columbia College and the University of Missouri, where he majored in criminal justice, with a minor in history. He obtained his first Master's degree in Criminal Justice and Law, and his second in History and Government - both conferred with honors - at Webster University. Serving in the U.S. Army Intelligence Center, he went on to a career as a Federal Special Agent with the Department of Defense. His final assignment, in a career that spanned thirty-five years, was as Chief of Industrial Personnel Security Clearance Adjudication for all firms (contractors) that required Federal security clearances to do business with the Department of Defense. Howard has given presentations at universities, Civil War round tables, libraries, social and fraternal organizations, history seminars and other history events. He is a Civil War re-enactor, portraying General Alpheus Williams (and sometimes, when his weight is trimmed, General George Gordon Meade). A Member of the General Staff of the Blue and the Grey, he is also a member and past General-in-Chief of the Columbus, Ohio, Civil War Round Table, and is currently an active member in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is also a participating member of the Lincoln Forum, and serves as historian/tour leader for the Civil War Education Association and the American History Forum.

Disclaimer: I'll apologize beforehand if this post is considered spam. If so, I trust that moderators will delete as they will.
My name is Daniel Beals, and I am currently developing a SF table-top RPG called MÖBIUM.
The game is being independently developed by an army of ONE, and has thus far been much like running a marathon...The finish line is still a long ways off.
You can find more information and preview material at http://www.mobiumrpg.net and the designer's Blog is at http://mobiumrpg.blogspot.com.
I'd be happy to receive any questions or comments, and have been (thus far) successfully using feedback to make decisions throughout the design process.
I will leave you with the current advertising blurb for the setting:
At first glance, the Future Setting of Möbium appears to have all of the characteristics of a "Hard†Science Fiction RPG, save for the very existence and discovery of the element known as Möbium.
When this previously unknown element rains down throughout the Solar System in 2023 in the form of a massive asteroid incursion, the initial impression is that the unavoidable impact with Earth can be nothing less than an Extinction Level Event.
But humanity does survive; and upon doing so, the very nature of Möbium is eventually harnessed to become an extraordinary, evolutionary tool.
Effectively, the element becomes a catalyst that ushers our current day scientific limitation towards an unlimited future of nuclear fusion, graviton mechanics, quantum computing, and a Universal Theory of Physics.
The effect on the private sector is profound; as the full scope of the Solar System is opened up to exploration, cultivation, colonization, and most importantly…Ownership.
The unqualified success and rapid expansion of Big Business renders national governments into extinction. Eventually, it appears that the only option to protect society lies in empowering massive Regulating Bodies to stabilize the gap between 'Individual' and 'Economy'.
But what happens to the search for individual meaning in a future that has become so utterly dependent on systems? What becomes of freedom in the face of economic dependency? What becomes of opinion within the confines of regulated media?
These are the questions that must be answered by every individual living in the Future of Möbium. Is it simply enough to purchase and produce, so that society can maintain its current balance? Is Market Value the ultimate measure of human success?
Can you walk the line between Free Will and Regulation?
Or will you choose the path of The UnRegulated?
The choice is yours.
Welcome to MÖBIUM.

Caribbean countries commit to standardising crime and violence statistics
CALI, Colombia - The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) says 15 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have confirmed their participation in a project to unify and share indicators on crime and violence.
The Washington-based financial institution said Bolivia, Guatemala and Panama also expressed intention to join the regional initiative during a two-day citizen security conference, organized by the Municipality of Cali and the project's coordinator, the Cisalva Institute of the Universidad del Valle.
The event was attended by specialists and government officials.
The Regional System of Standardised Indicators for Citizen Security and Violence Prevention (SES), which has received IDB grant funding for US$2.5 million since 2008, enables Latin American and Caribbean governments to receive "timely, reliable, and comparable data for designing and evaluating public security policies and programmes.
"Before the project, there were no uniform criteria or methodologies on how such data are collected and processed, both among countries and among national institutions, such as the police, prosecutors, or the ministries of public health.
"This lack of standards resulted in varying population estimates and different interpretations of crimes referred to by the same names, among other complications," the IDB added.
The IDB said that to date, the SES has produced agreements on 22 indicators based on information from more than 140 public institutions in 15 countries and two major cities in the region.
It said the system receives official inputs from Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay, as well as from the Municipality of Quito and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
The IDB said SES's progress and achievements have resulted in an expansion in its membership from its initial six participants.
It is expected that 80 per cent of the countries of the region will be basing their statistics on SES's unified parameters by the end of next year, the IDB said.
At the same time, the Organisation of American States, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and the Central American Integration System are supporting SES as strategic partners.
"In our countries, public security is an issue that is literally handled in the dark. Relevant and accurate information is critical for designing policies that can help reduce violence and ensure safety," said Jorge Srur, IDB senior specialist in modernisation of the state.
He said each of the countries participating in the SES has created technical units that validate regional indicators, making it possible to compare rates of homicides and kidnappings, deaths from firearm and traffic injuries, suicides, allegations of sexual offenses, domestic violence, and child and adolescent abuse.

It was a crazy comeback for the Sullivan Lady Redskins as they won the Okaw Valley Holiday Tournament championship on Saturday, beating Clinton 71-70.
Sullivan started like gangbusters, turning the Maroons black and blue in the 1st with an 18-9 run. Clinton recovered and trimmed the Sully lead in the 2nd, but the 'Skins still lead by four at the break, 32-28.
Clinton held on to the momentum out of the locker room and shot past Sully with a 16-10 run in the 3rd.
Down by two to start crunch time, 44-42. Sullivan needed to regain their mojo. They did, but Clinton tried a jailbreak and dared Sullivan to catch them.
Clinton broke out with a 26-point push down the stretch. But Sullivan nipped them at the wire with a 29-point 4th to grab the trophy.
Sullivan had balanced scoring with four players in double figures. Brittin Boyer scored 20 points, scoring six time from the floor and making 8-of-10 free throws.
Emily Stewart had 16, including 3-of-5 from the arc. Maggie Plank had 16, scoring six times from the floor and going a poerfect 4-of-4 at the line. Tournament MVP Emily Neuhauser scored 15 points, scoring seven times, once from the arc.
Clinton had the game-high scorer, Ginger, with 22 points and just two more players in double figures. Tool had 17 and Scott 10.
Free throws were key to the win. Sullivan made 13-of-17 shots and Clinton, just 5-of-8. Clinton had one more trey and two more deuces, but those Sully free throws tipped the scale.

I just made this and although it was good I would suggest using 6 oz smoked salmon, a big pinch of kosher salt and go easy on the lemon juice - 2 T was too much for my liking - I will use 1T next time. Otherwise...... easy to make and with more salmon and less lemon it should be delicious.

Kobe Bryant took 26 field goal attempts in Sunday's Los Angeles Lakers loss to the New Orleans Hornets. Pau Gasol, L.A.'s No. 2 weapon, took just nine. That's typically a recipe for drama with the Lakers, and sure enough, Kobe indicted his Spaniard co-star in post-game comments. Yahoo!'s Johnny Ludden breaks it down:
Someone asked if Odom also needed to hike his scoring, and Bryant made clear that wasn't the problem. "Pau is our guy," he said. "He's next in line and gets the responsibility that comes with it."
Bryant and Gasol have long had this tug-of-war, with Bryant doing almost all of the pulling. [...] Kobe's shot the Lakers out of enough games - one Western Conference scout said L.A.'s recent five-game losing streak was the worst he'd seen Bryant play in years - to warrant the criticism.
The Kobe-Pau dynamic has become one of the great mysteries of the NBA, and everyone has an opinion. Is Kobe too selfish and unwilling to defer? Is Pau too mentally weak to really challenge Kobe and take the ball out of his hands in crunch time? Does Kobe shoot the Lakers out of games, or do the Lakers force Kobe to try to shoot them back in? The Lakers trailed by six when Kobe re-entered the game in the fourth quarter; he took nine of L.A.'s final 17 shots. He went 3-9; his teammates went 5-8.
If this series follows the normal Lakers' progression, expect Pau to be hyperaggressive for three quarters in Game 2.

You are at: Sky Vegas >
The Sky Vegas online casino brings you Golden Clover! A great variation on the online Roulette casino game.
Golden Clover is very similar to roulette. It's a themed numbers game where just like in roulette you place your chips on sections of the board. Will you be an online casino games winner when you see what the outcome is as the ball stops rolling? Instead of a wheel we are having a big Golden Clover for the ball to make its way around. Exciting stuff! Game play is as simple as it sounds and if you are familiar with roulette you will have no trouble getting involved.
To play you must first select your stake to bet. To do this, use the plus and minus buttons above and below the chip to change it's value. Once you are happy, click on the board on the right of the screen to place your chips on the numbers and sections available. You can choose from loads of different options; play groups of numbers, individual ones, the traditional odds and evens and the not so traditional green and orange numbers. There is also a draw history bar at the bottom of the screen so you can keep an eye on your previous outcomes. Pick your numbers and sit back to watch the Golden Clover work its magic.
Table Stake Settings:
Min Stake: £1
Max Stake: £1,000
Select your stake -
click on a chip and drag it onto the board on the left.
Place bets -
by moving the mouse pointer over a number or zone you are interested in on the betting board. The particular bet will illuminate showing the odds on that bet. To place the bet, click on it. Each consecutive click increases the bet in increments of the chip value selected; e.g. 3 clicks in total, 5+5+5 = £15 bet.
It is possible to place many different bets in one game or to place a chip in between 2, 3 or 4 adjacent numbers.
Clicking Clear All removes the chips.
Clicking Rebet will repeat the last games bet/s.
Clicking Draw History shows the last few numbers drawn.

Of all the rumors swirling around "Star Wars: Episode 7" and the subsequent sequels and spin-offs, this was probably the most no-brainer obvious as being true. Hell, even J.J. Abrams himself said back in April that John Williams—who provided the iconic music of the original "Star Wars" and never looked back—would likely return to score part seven, and it turns out the composer is in for the long haul.
Not only do Germans love David Hasselhoff, they love "Star Wars" and right now in Essen is the Celebration Europe event celebrating all things Jedi. And producer Kathleen Kennedy was on hand to drop this little morsel of news (via Empire). "I had breakfast with someone very important to the 'Star Wars' family on Friday," she teased, "and he has committed to being involved in the next three films, and that is Mr. John Williams."
While some of us might have preferred to see what Abrams regular Michael Giacchino could do with the franchise, we can't complain too much about the return of the man whose score is as much a defining aspect of "Star Wars" as any of the characters. And in a perfectly blend of synergy, the official "Star Wars" YouTube channel dropped an interview with John Williams this morning where he shares his excitement at returning to the series, notes that he hasn't read a script yet and shares his belief that Abrams is the right person to carry on the torch from George Lucas.
"Star Wars: Episode 7" is expected to hit theaters in 2015. Watch the interview with Williams below.
McKenzie | July 27, 2013 7:40 PM
His scores for the prequels were arguably the best part. Composers are a bit like painters. If they can hold the brush...let 'em work.
Skywater | July 27, 2013 3:40 PM
*And while I'm sure...
Skywater | July 27, 2013 3:38 PM
Lol. I really like Giacchino. I'm while i'm sure he would probably get get nicer words from the legendary John Williams than he is from the snarling and rabid internet crowd, Giacchino would be the first to get super excited about another Williams star wars score.
hank | July 27, 2013 2:46 PM
seriously who the fuck preferred Michael Giacchino over Williams?
Williams Fan | July 27, 2013 2:02 PM
I hope John Williams makes it. He's 81!
Williams Fan | July 27, 2013 2:02 PM
I hope John Williams makes it. He's 81!
Mark | July 27, 2013 12:20 PM
"While some of us might have preferred to see what Abrams regular Michael Giacchino could do with the franchise"
Why? Why have a third rate replacement when you can have the real thing? This is the first Episode VII news I can fully get behind.

Funeral services for J.C. Stroble, the famed "call it" man at The Beacon Drive-In, will be held on Sunday.
John C. "J.C." Stroble, 71, was known for calling orders at the Beacon Drive-In in Spartanburg. He was recently hospitalized following a fall and passed away on Monday.
The funeral service is at 2pm Sunday at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Spartanburg. Bishop Charles J.J. Jackson, III will officiate.
The family said the public and media are also welcome to attend his funeral.
The procession will pass by the Beacon The procession route is on the family's CaringBridge site in four steps, as follows:
A. Cornerstone Baptist Church, 700 S Converse St., Spartanburg, SC 29306
B. Beacon Drive-In
C. JC Stroble Blvd.
D. Greenlawn Memorial Gardens
"You can't think of the Beacon without thinking of JC, you can't separate the two," said Sam Maw, co-owner of The Beacon. "So I think his memory as long as we're open, his memory will be alive."
The church is located at 700 S. Converse St, Spartanburg. J.W. Woodward Funeral Home is making the arrangements.
The family says that, in lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Cornerstone Baptist Church Capital Building Campaign at the church's address above or to the JC Stroble Glaucoma Awareness Foundation, Post Office Box 2202, Spartanburg, SC 29304. JC had been diagnosed with glaucoma years ago and his daughter started the foundation to help people pay for eye exams.

Gammons quotes Rangers official: 'We got Upton'
MLB Network's Peter Gammons was present and recently tweeted about some of the "fun" surrounding the endless trade rumors about Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton:
If you don't believe the multi-team Upton trade talk, Wednesday night a Rangers official called an Astros officisl and said, "we got Upton."— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) December 7, 2012
Upton has been part of trade rumors for the last three offseasons, and his name has been one of the most talked about at this year's gathering.
Obviously nothing is official at this point and Gammons' tweet could indicate just how close the trade was to going down before the plug was pulled. It could also indicate that the deal is close to consummation.
Thursday, talk of complicated three and four-team deals surfaced with Upton being one of the centerpieces for potential swaps. Other teams that have been rumored in such deals are the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians, and of course, the Texas Rangers.
Based on Gammons' tweet, Friday could be an interesting day on the Upton front.

Brief Synopsis
View the Executive Summary
The 21st century has seen the growth of a number of nontraditional threats to international stability on which, trade, and thus U.S. peace and security, depends, and for the moment at least a reduced likelihood of continental scale warfighting operations, and something of a de-emphasis on major involvement in counterinsurgency operations. These nontraditional threats are, however, very real and should command a higher priority than they have done in the past, even in a period of budgetary constraint. The military have cost-effective contributions to make in countering the manufacture and distribution of illicit drugs, and in many cases can do so without serious detriment to their main warfighting role. Successfully completing this mission, however, will require the military to rethink their integration with the nonmilitary aspects of a whole-of-government approach, and almost certainly, their institutional preference for speedy victories in short wars.

If you drive down Interstate 90 across the border into Wyoming, you'll see something new to the north.
It's a big building, but it's not your average structure; it's a teepee.
"It's been a fun project," said Bob Olson, who designed and whose company building the 1,200 square foot teepee for the Vore Buffalo Jump outside of Beulah.
"It's going to be a real nice building for them," Olson said. "And it's going to be real visible from the interstate."
That's what Ted Vore and the Vore Buffalo Jump Foundation are counting on.
They want to drive more visitors to the jump, and with the new building, they'll actually be able to handle them.
"There will be men's and women's restrooms" in the teepee, Vore said. "We have put in a sewer system; we are now in the process, as you can see, of drilling the well."
The teepee will also house a gallery, which will help explain how the sinkhole was used by Native American tribes to trap and kill large numbers of buffalo all at once.
The teepee is really just the first step. The Foundation wants to line pretty much the whole northern rim with similar structures to tell people more about how each tribe used the sinkhole.
"This one is a little but more expensive because of the restroom facilities," Vore said, adding the price for the rest will depend upon what's in them.
The first one has a price tag of about $175,000, a lot for a nonprofit. But Vore said it'll be worth it to increase their educational opportunities.
The building also incorporates traditional teepee customs, like having the door open to the east.
The group hopes to finish construction in April to be ready for the Jump to open in June.

And realize summed this brew up nicely with his review. Was happy to get a couple growlers before the keg was empty last weekend. It poured a nice copper bodied ale with a nice head and showed good lacing as i drank the glass.
Nice hoppy aroma, floral and citrus, as well as inviting b readiness and biscuit from the malt.
Taste is similar to the nose, a solid apa.
Even has some striping qualities from the hops which become more evident as the contents of the growler settle happily in my belly. Another tasty, drinkable ale from sleeping giant. I look forward to stopping in on trips back to thunder bay

Apparently this is a dry hopped version of their 360 pale ale and is wet hopped through locally harvested whole hops.
A - Pours a nice copper colour, two thumbs of head with solid chunky lacing.
S - A nice sweet citrus hop profile, leafy greens, nice caramel malt backbone, musty grains, and burnt sugar.
T - Sweet citrus off the top, hints of iced tea, caramel, burnt sugar, and the leafy green hop profile lingers on the finish. Bitter citrus rind lingers alongside some bready caramel.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and a touch of dryness.
O - A very tasty pale ale, the dry and wet hopping definitely adds a tasty hop profile. Nicely balanced pale, loads of flavour, generously hopped pale ale and a great tweak on the original recipe. Keep 'em coming SGBC!

Employees and their dependents enrolled in health coverage are eligible for mental health and substance abuse benefits, which are administered by Magellan Health Services. You have convenient and confidential access to benefits. Services generally include the following:
|Outpatient assessment and treatment
|Inpatient assessment and treatment
|Alternative care such as partial hospitalization, residential treatment and intensive outpatient treatment
|Treatment follow-up and aftercare
Certain services are specifically excluded under the terms and conditions of the state group insurance program. For more information, contact Magellan Health Services.
To receive maximum benefit coverage, participants must use a network provider and obtain preauthorization. Magellan can be reached toll-free at 855.HERE.4.TN (855.437.3486) any time, day or night, to speak confidentially with a trained professional for a referral. Participants may see an out-of-network mental health provider without calling for a referral; however, coinsurance and copayments will be higher. Participants are also subject to balance billing by the out-of-network provider, meaning that they will pay the difference between the maximum allowable charge and the actual charge. Additionally, participants are at risk of having inpatient benefits totally denied.
In addition, enrollees have access to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that provides up to five counseling sessions, per incident, at no cost to you. In addition to counseling support, your EAP provides a variety of consulting services including financial, legal, childcare, eldercare, and identity theft support.

Our Symbian^3/Qt app just got through Ovi Store QA, but there was a comment:
If I have understood right, C7-00_01 is just a T-Mobile branded version of C7, also known as Nokia Astound, and I am fairly sure it supports Qt. However it is not listed as a supported device in above page and so it is left pending until someone updates list of supported devices.NOTE: Qt content is not compatible with Nokia C7-00_1, therefore the device is left pending. Qt supported device list can be found from http://www.forum.nokia.com/Distribut...ml#article1_a.
Has anyone else had this?
Just sounds weird, that new device is left without quite a pile of apps.

It has been a topic of interest since the story broke about Rita Crundwell's multi-million dollar embezzlement. How do you keep hands out of the municipal piggy bank?
When State Representative Don Moffitt heard the news that Dixon, Illinois Comptroller Rita Crundwell was charged with stealing millions of dollars from the city over 20 years, his reaction was pretty much typical.
" I was shocked, not only by the amount, but secondly, how long it could go on," Moffitt said.
Unlike most people, Moffitt has the power to try and do something about it. He backed Illinois House Bill 1562, a bill which would require every municipality in Illinois to have a financial oversight committee inspect the financial records of the financial officer or the Treasurer.
"On top of that, they can review bank accounts to see if bank accounts match up with records," said Moffitt. "If we do that, it gives the tools to local government that we hope we can avoid a situation like this in the future."
The folks who produce Fraud Magazine, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, say there is more to preventing workplace theft than just an additional set of eyes looking over the books.
At Bradley University, accounting students are taught that preventing workplace theft begins at the top.
"Leadership of the organization has established policies and guidelines for what is acceptable behavior," said Simon Petravick, Chair of Bradley Accounting Department. "There's a right way to do the business and this is what we're going to do. And, you don't leave it shrink wrapped. They take the time to education the employees on those."
Another recommendation, something not done in Dixon, is separating the people who receive money from those who spend it. Two signatures on checks is also a good idea.
"You remove the opportunity, it's going to be very difficult for someone to do some fraud," Petravick said.
There has to be monitoring of the money-financial reports sent to a supervisor.
"It's just good business sense for everybody's protection to have checks and balances," said Petravick.
There is also starting a fraud hot line for employees. That is how most workplace thefts are discovered, suspicious co-workers.
Why all the fuss? Aren't municipal crooks like Rita Crundwell an aberration? Maybe, but, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners says organizational theft is big business.
On average, a business would lose five to six percent of its revenues to fraud. It's billions and billions of dollars.
If you are looking for the best way to sum up fraud prevention, in three little words, you can't do much better than Ronald Reagan talking about dealing with the Soviet Union "Dorei, nyet provei. Trust....but verify".

Memorable Experience:Not that this is my only memorable experience, but my favorite moment in the three months that I spent in London is when it finally hit me that I was actually there. I rode the tube on my own for the first time, and I got off to switch trains to get back to campus without even thinking about it. At that moment, I realized how well I was fitting into the culture. London, as far away from home as I was, felt like home.
Benefits of Studying Abroad:Studying abroad has made me a much more confident and independent person, which benefits me through all parts of my life. I am able to approach situations that I may not have been comfortable with before my study abroad experience with an entirely open mind. I can succeed in things that I may not have even tried before. That confidence will stick with me for the rest of my life. Now, I have the courage to move to a larger city and pursue better career options. I also have an inexplicable desire for Indian food.
Advice & Tips: DO IT! It's always scary at first, but after you get settled in, it's going to be the best experience of your life. It may take a little time, but every bout of homesickness ends quickly and gets replaced by the excitement of exploring another country. Leaving London was so much harder for me than leaving Wisconsin, and that experience will always be with me. You'll feel the same way about whichever city you spend your time in.

Wanda Sykes at Capitol Theatre
For the first time ever, Wanda Sykes was in town for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and she certainly lived up to the hype.
Kudos to Keith Robinson – who opened the act – for introducing himself as the pickle in the takeaway sandwich that no one ordered but everyone ends up eating. He may have at times sounded a whole lot like a Philly version of Dave Chappelle (which comes as no surprise given he's worked as a writer for his show) but he sure did warm up the crowd giving them a taste of the even more politically incorrect main to follow.
Let's be honest here: Wanda Sykes is a comedy legend as a writer and performer that had her own show for a while, appearances in Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The New Adventures of Old Christine and voicing characters in a number of animated films such as Rio and Ice Age 4. Not bad for a girl who started her career in National Security Agency of all places.
Maybe her first job was the reason she got a bit carried away with US politics at the beginning although being a seasoned comedy veteran she slowly started winning over the audience. Her show had a bit of everything; for her die-hard fans, it was a bit of a compilation of popular routines (like Esther) from her three major previous acts, namely Tongue Untied, Sick and Tired and I'ma Be Me whereas for first-timers, she certainly must've left quite an impression with her antics about her kids and how she deals with getting older.Her facial expressions, razor sharp timing and her Obama - as well as her own - family impressions are world-class.
That doesn't mean that there weren't any new additions to her act; she had everyone in stitches with the Dick Banger and Miss-Drop-it-like-it's-Hot impressions of her kids and along with the seal/fuck routine in the aquarium, you get the sense that these are bound to become instant Wanda Sykes classics.
