Juniper and Hazel have arrived
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 04-22-2008 - 12:02pm
Juniper was born at 3:48p on April 21st weighing 5 lbs 5 oz
Hazel was born at 3:52p on April 21st weighing 6 lbs 2 oz
Vaginal delivery, minor tear... Worst part was the epidural they required me to have. Never ever getting one again.
I was in early labor Sunday night, went in to get checked and my cervix was making some process so they decided to keep me until morning. At 2 am the contractions were getting closer and more intense so they started my IV with antibiotics for GBS and while the anesthesiologist put in my IV he started the normal spiel about the epidural so that he didn't have to waste time after the IV (several pokes and ended in my hand) to get started on the epidural. I dozed off and on through out the day and around 2pm just couldn't stay awake. I woke up at 3:25pm (I woke up staring at the clock) to the nurse telling Jonathan goodbye that her shift was over. I gave her a half attempt at a hug as I couldn't feel anything from about an inch above my waist down. I immediately started drifting out again and my OB walked in and asked if I was feeling any pressure. I woke myself up enough to figure out that yes I was feeling a lot of pressure. She checked me, and I'd gone from a 5 at 2 pm to complete with Juniper's head crowning at 3:30. They quickly wheeled me down to the csection room (just as a precaution), delivered, and we were done, leaving the csection room by 4:04pm.
I am awfully bruised from being turned, shifted, pulled and what not since I had no feeling thanks to the epidural but otherwise we're all doing well.

"For fools rush in where angels fear to tread." – Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism
We live in a world where speed and quantity dominates. Bigger, faster, better, stronger is the motto that a lot of people shoot for, but many tend to spend more time on getting faster so that they can build more things – and they feel as if they'll do better every time they start something new with that motto in mind.
But that's not always the case. In fact, it's often the opposite.
I've fallen prey to that more time than I'd like to admit, and I did so again recently with the impending relaunch of Productivityist. I figured that if I announced a launch date, then it would happen. Heck, I had every intention of making it happen. But intention without attention is powerless, and that's exactly what happened with the new-look website.
I failed to step back and take a look at everything I had on my plate and overestimated my ability to give the website relaunch the attention it needed to be done well. As the publicly announced launch date crept closer, I increased my efforts, but I ran into obstacles that may not have been insurmountable, but certainly were going to slow me down. Even as late as the day before the launch, I worked towards making it happen. But the writing was on the wall: the launch wouldn't be happening. Not unless I wanted to deliver sub-par results.
So what did I do when I finally conceded that the launch would have to be wait?
I took a step back.
I really looked at what it would take to get the new site up and running at a level that I would really take things to the next level. I examined my current obligations – family-wise, project-wise, and travel-wise – and determined how much attention I'd be able to give the site with everything else going on. I also took into account what I'd need to do with other members of my team to make it happen in a manner that was effective first and efficient second.
I wouldn't have been able to do this if I had just rushed in again. I'd already proven that. Instead, by taking a step back and really being "attentional" with my intentions (which meant being realistic, among other things) I was able to formulate a plan of action that made sense.
I've learned a lot in my forty years, and only one week after turning forty I learned a couple of more things about what I'm willing and not willing to do when it comes to my life and my work:
- I am not going to publicly announce a reveal or release until the "thing" is closer to being ready. In the past I've announced well before then – as a way of creating accountability – but with so many irons in the fire and more demands on my time with Productivityist Coaching now part of my work, it doesn't make sense.
- I need to step back and learn to say "no" to myself more often. I'm getting much better at saying "no" to others but I'm not as good at saying "no" to my own ideas and projects. The thing about saying "no" to myself is that it's an internal conversation, so I can always revisit the idea or project at a later date and still bring things to life if I so choose. I don't always have that option when I turn down things presented to me by other people.
The Retreat
As I write this piece, I'm sitting in Case Study Coffee in Portland, preparing to immerse myself in another World Domination Summit experience. I've had a great time in the previous three years I've come to Portland for this amazing entrepreneurial event created by Chris Guillebeau, as I've written about every year:
- A Look Back at The 2011 World Domination Summit
- A Look Back at The 2012 World Domination Summit
- A Look Back at The 2013 World Domination Summit
I expect this year to be another instance of a much-needed recharge, renewal, and reset. I actually consider the World Domination Summit to be a retreat for me – a massive "stepping back" of sorts.
Back when I launched my Ready Retreat Series of ebooks (which eventually evolved into The Productivityist Workbook), I named them as such because I believe that sometimes you need to step back – or "retreat" – in order to be "ready" to move forward in the right direction.
In military terms, a retreat isn't so much a surrender as it is a withdrawal. When military forces do this, they're stepping back and resetting themselves (perhaps to consolidate forces or establish themselves in better terrain for combat), but they are maintaining contact with the enemy all the while in some form or another. When you take on too much, some of those things you take on can be a lot like the enemy. In those instances, the best thing you can do is consciously step back – or tactically retreat – so that you can really strategize your next move.
The Reset
I've made some conscious choices as I ramp up my attention to the new website while still paying attention to the website in its current iteration:
First off, once I finish my week-long decompression after this year's Wolrd Domination Summit I'm only going to publish twice weekly – Mondays and Thursdays – until the launch (and likely beyond). As Tsh Oxenreider has said, "Consistency trumps frequency." By delivering content twice weekly, I'm still providing content as the site is getting ready and not neglecting my readers in the process. Plus, I'll be writing more expansive posts, which I'm really looking forward to doing.
Secondly, I'll be spending more time on Google Plus (both at the Productivityist page and at my personal page and other social platforms sharing productivity-related news along the way to offset the shift in blog post frequency. There's a lot to cover in this space, and a lot of what is going on can be covered in a Facebook update or quick YouTube video rather than a short blog post.
Finally – and although somewhat unrelated – Mikes on Mics will be getting a facelift. We'll be rebranding the show as "Workflowing" (named after the collaborative website that Michael Schechter and I worked on for a bit last year). The posting date may change from Fridays, but that's yet to be determined. The show itself will remain largely intact, albeit with having occasional guest hosts and guests as either Schechter or myself may be absent from time to time. And we'll also be staying on 5by5, which is great news all around.
Everything else will stay the same. The Productivityist Newsletter will still be published bi-weekly on Wednesdays. I'll still be writing for other sites, including Medium. How am I going to keep up with this workload? I have my ways.
The Results
After taking the time to step back, I feel as if a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I feel as if my productivity system and workflow can support me once again because I've gotten out of its way – and so have the other things that I brought with me to help me block its path. I know that over the next few days at the World Domination Summit that I'll gain even more resolve to move things forward in the direction that I really want to go in. I know the only way I can take all that this event has to offer is to step back and make it happen.
Don't be afraid to retreat when overwhelm sets in. You'll have a much better view of where you want to go by stepping back and seeing the whole landscape. And when you're ready to move forward with intention, you'll have a much better chance of being more effective and efficient along the way.

Declaring that Chile does not protect its citizens' personal information, a hacker using the screen name "Anonymous Coward" recently published the private information of 6 million Chileans on two Web sites.
The data leak was first reported yesterday by the Chilean daily, El Mecurio.
Agence France Press reports:
The personal data included names, street and email addresses, telephone numbers, social and educational background, and was taken from Education Ministry, Electoral Service and state-run telephone companies' websites...
According to the Guardian, the breach was discovered early Saturday morning when the IT administrator of the Web site "FayerWayer" discovered links on the site. The personal data was also published on the community Web site "ElAntro."
The information has been removed from both Web sites. No one knows when the personal information was published online. Police, however, continue to investigate the data leak.
Citing El Mecurio, the Associated Press reports that the hacker committed the breach and the subsequent release of the data "to demonstrate how poorly protected the data in Chile is, and how nobody works to protect it."
The police say that as far as they know, the data leak did not include any banking or financial records, the Guardian noted .

Alright, so I eat a lot of Quaker old fashioned rolled oats. However, it takes me about half a goddamn hour to get a dry cup (cooked, of course) down. What can I do to make this stuff more edible? I mean, 300 calories worth of oats is quite a bit, so I expect it to take a while, but this is ridiculous. It's so bland and thick.
I've thought about cutting up a banana or two to put in it, does that work well? I'll give that a shot tomorrow. Also, when you put oats in a blended protein shake, can the oats be dry, or should they be cooked? I'm blending them dry, but I'm worried they won't digest completely that way and it will be wasted.
All oat tips are appreciated!

Blackout (Newsflesh Trilogy) (edition 2012)

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is the third in Mira Grant's (aka Seanan McGuire) Newsflesh series, about a post-zombie world where the zombies are kept at bay in equilibrium attendant with some major societal changes, notably in the ascendency of life lived through the Internet. An innovative setting for a zombie novel and indeed, #1 in the series, Feed, was brilliant. Alas, #3 is somewhat of a disappointment. It's not unusual for a #2 in the series to drag a bit (it did) only to be rescued by the final book. But, in this case, #3 just goes further downhill. By no means a bad book, the premise just gets stretched out too long, the science --once plausible-- veers off into classic bad mistakes (how many times will we read --and roll our eyes-- about clones who magically get their original's memories - not again) capped off with a surprise and major cringe-worthy relationship blooming between the major (brother-sister) characters. Really ended on a off-key note. Of course, you must read it if you're reading the series.
I hate this book and everything it chooses to be.
Honestly. I just felt DRAINED trying to finish this. I dreaded forcing myself through another chapter, and another, and another, when it's clear where the whole clone thing is heading and when the writing is SO repetitive and when I was spending half the time reading the thoughts of the most boring mad-man in history. No thank you.
This was a good book! I found the parts with clone!Georgia much more interesting than the parts with Shaun, but the whole book was really very interesting. The ending was...incredibly bittersweet, though. For so many reasons. It wasn't a book you finished feeling good or 'happily-ever-after' about it. :( But still a good book! Not all books have to be happy.
The opening chapters of this book really smack the reader upside the head and just have you waiting for the two plot threads to combine and head straight for an awesome ending. The ending is wrapped up nicely but of course there is always room for more stories in this universe since it seems things are changing about the virus. I really can't say much about it the plot since this is the third and final book in the series.
Zombie Bears, Human Clones, State-Sponsored Bioterrorism -- and Twincest?
(Caution: spoilers ahead!)
Halfway through Deadline, when reluctant hero Shaun addressed his lover by his dead sister's name (post-coitus!), I groaned. Audibly. Please dear zombie Jesus, I thought, don't go all Dexter on me now. That would just be stupid. Well, prepare to get stupid.
The final book in Mira Grant's Newsflesh trilogy, Blackout picks up shortly after the events of Deadline: with Shaun and the remaining members of the After the End Times team camping out at mad scientist Dr. Shannon Abbey's illicit lab in Shady Cove, Oregon (population: the walking dead), while sister Georgia inexplicably awakes from death inside a CDC lab in nearby Seattle. Also known as "Subject 139b," Shaun's just discovered that he's immune to the Kellis-Amberlee virus, quite possibly from nearly two and a half decades of constant exposure to the virus via Georgia's retinal KA reservoir condition. The newest subject of Dr. Abbey's scientific curiosity (read: poking and prodding), the invasions visited upon Shaun are nothing compared to the atrocities the CDC has inflicted upon his sister. Or, perhaps more accurately, George's genetic line.
One of many Georgia Mason clones (some of them failed and destroyed, with the few successes waiting in the wings like so many benched players), this Georgia Mason - Subject 7c - is a 97% cognitive match to the original Georgia. She's the "showroom model": a pony to parade in front of the investors who financed her resurrection. "Street model" Georgia 8b is just 44% authentic. Unlike the "real" Georgia Mason, she's pliable, obedient, and easy to control; she's the Georgia the CDC means to deliver to Shaun. Only not if 7C - and her allies within the Epidemic Intelligence Service - can help it.
While Georgia Mason II attempts to escape from her petri dish, Shaun and the team continue to chase the conspiracy introduced in Deadline. The whole thing feels rather convoluted at times, but basically boils down to this: the Kellis-Amberlee virus is evolving, adapting itself to its human hosts. But he who controls the virus, controls society. For twenty plus years, this has been the CDC. Threatened by the loss of its new-found power, the CDC is systematically murdering people with reservoir conditions - people like Georgia Mason - people whose immune response to the virus suggests one possible means of coexisting with it. Some scientists believe that reservoir conditions may even hold the key to a cure - or, more dangerously, a hope of one. If there's a chance that your newly zombified loved one might recover, what then? Who would be willing to pull the trigger?
Shaun and Georgia's paths inexorably converge, until they literally run smack dab into one another in the halls of the Seattle CDC - right before it explodes. This is where things get stupid. In order to prove to Shaun that she's "real," Georgia unveils their secret, for all the team to see: she and Shaun are lovers, and have been for years.
Now, I'm not usually one to use reaction gifs in book reviews - not because I don't fancy 'em, but due to sheer laziness - but here, only a gif will do.
(Twincest? Way grosser than a mayonegg.)
Okay, so. While it's true that Shaun and Georgia are not biological siblings - both were adopted by the Masons at a young age - they were raised as such. Almost from birth. Worse, they're very nearly the same age; their birthdays are just weeks apart. They may not be fraternal twins, but they're pretty damn close. Seriously, this about as close to twincest as two non-biologically-related people can come.
Plus, Shaun and George seem to think of each other as siblings before lovers. This might be a strategic decision on the author's part - anything other than platonic language would have given Grant's ruse away books ago - but the two constantly refer to one another as "brother" and "sister," including in their own internal monologues. If your line of reasoning is that they aren't "really" siblings, so their romantic relationship is okay - well, you can't have it both ways.
It feels like Grant is being deliberately provocative and scandalous with this twincest plotline (I could almost picture her, sitting at her keyboard, cracking her knuckles and laughing maniacally); given the human cloning/multiple dopplegangers aspect of the story, Blackout's already got enough General Hospital-style drama to last another three books. Incest is just over the top, don't you think?
Doubly so since it doesn't really go anywhere; the story would be essentially the same without it. Georgia and Shaun's relationship sets up several romantic triangles (Shaun-Georgia-Becks; Shaun-Georgia-Mahir; Shaun-Georgia-Mahir-Nandini) which (thankfully!) never go anywhere. Aside from grossing us out, the twincest doesn't serve much of a purpose. Like I said. Stupid.
As I write this, the brouhaha over JK Rowling's revelation that Hermione should have ended up with Harry instead of Ron is just beginning to die down. Personally, I don't see why Hermione had to end up with either of them. What's wrong with guys and girls who are "just" friends? Why do writers and directors feel the need to constantly shove these romantic attachments down our throats? It's like they think that the only way men and women can relate to one another is through their sexy bits. And now? Apparently men and women can't even be "just" siblings without wanting to fuck. It's insulting.
On another note, the ending is rather anti-climactic, especially considering the sheer number of pages it took us to get here. Grant's readers deserve a larger payoff than she gives us. The series starts with a bang, but ends with a fizzle.
That said, Grant's still an adept writer; overall, Blackout is fast-paced and filled with suspense. The first half of the book - before Georgia and Shaun reunite - is a real page-turner (after which point you may or may not want to throw the book across the room. I mostly laughed in disbelief and went with it.) There aren't as many zombies as a second Rising might suggest, but a lack of zombies has never been an issue with me.
I kind of wish I'd stopped with the first book - Deadline and Blackout just aren't the sequels Feed deserves - but I can think of worse ways to spend my time. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 on Amazon. (Maybe it's time for me to develop a more stringent rating system? Ugh.)
For what it's worth, I've since found - and promptly downloaded! - three Newsflesh novellas on Amazon. I think the shorter format might be a better fit for Grant's Zombocalypse stories.

Fight Stains With Toothpaste
Did your little one get crayon stains on the wall again? Saunders suggests dabbing some toothpaste onto a damp napkin to wipe it out. "But don't lather it on," he warns, "or it'll get pasty." Saunders also says you can use the same technique to clean scuffs off your shoes, the bottom of an iron, or on chrome surfaces in the bathroom to make them shine.

He is survived by his wife, Connie of Culver; and brother Jerry (Karen) Richie of Indianapolis.Â
Visitation will be held Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012 at the First Christian Church in Rochester from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Services will be at 11 a.m. at the church. Burial will be private.

PLYMOUTH - The Plymouth Common Council voted a "no fault" tax abatement to Zentis Food Solutions Monday night.
In the Council's previous session earlier this month Kevin Chestnut - tax advisor for the North American branch of the German company - came before the board to ask for the extension of a tax abatement offered the company when it first considered where it was going to place its base of North American operations. In 2006, the Council voted Zentis a two-year abatement when the company had requested a five-year abatement for the project.
Missing area teen found after search
PLYMOUTH - Family members and local law enforcement were involved early Monday in the search for an area high school student Tristan McCallum.
McCallum's family confirms that he left their home around 6:30 p.m. Sunday evening wearing only shorts and a dark gray shirt and without any money or cell phone. He was on foot after leaving the family home Sunday evening. A resident of the Donaldson area he has friends in South Bend and Mishawaka and family feared he could have also been picked up by a passing motorist.
As a result of new state standards, Culver's EMS service will make a marked change in 2014; Culver's town council met with members of the service last Tuesday to consider just what that change will look like.

PUEBLO, Colo.- Recovery efforts have resumed for a man who was swept away in the Arkansas River kayak course in Pueblo Monday afternoon.
A search crew took to the river at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. They made their way downstream to the bridge at Baxter Road, thoroughly surveying one side of the river. This afternoon, the crew will return to the starting point- the Moffat walking bridge- and make their way down the river again, this time inspecting the other side.
Pueblo Assistant Fire Chief Shawn Shelton said they have come across a couple of obstacles. The water levels are high for this time of year. Shelton said the water is also murky.
Yesterday, search and rescue teams scoured the kayak course in hopes of recovering the victim. They arrived on scene around 4:30 p.m. The team had to suspend the search once when it got too dark outside.
Friends of the victim told News 5 Monday was like any other day on the Arkansas River, until their friend- the victim- fell off of an inner-tube, was pulled underneath the water and swept away by the current.
Now, they're trying to wrap their minds around this unexpected tragedy.
"You know... 5,10,15 minutes go by. I start walking down (and) I see the fire trucks," said Sonny Sanchez, one of the victim's friends. "I caught one of them as they were turning around and asked them (if he went) to the hospital, and they were like, 'we haven't gotten him yet.'"
The victim was not wearing a life jacket, something the fire department sees all too often.
"The river is very powerful. Mother nature is not something you want to mess with, and without a life jacket, you don't stand a chance," said Shelton.
Wearing a life jacket is a requirement for anyone taking part in the kayak course.
At the time the victim fell into the river, the rate of the water was flowing at over 4500 cubic feet per second. That is about 10 times what the normal flow is during "dry season."
Shelton said if search crews come up empty handed by the end of Tuesday, they will continue the recovery effort for the next few days.

Should You Have to Have a Photo ID to Vote? [SURVEY]
As of now, 17 states have laws requiring voters to present photo ID before voting. Some have suggested these regulations may act to disenfranchise poor and minority voters, who could be less likely to have such identification. Last month a judge in Pennsylvania blocked the state from enforcing its voter ID laws in the 2012 election.

Artist will hold public unveiling of Gay Parita painting April 29, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Art, Books, Events, Gas stations.
Tags: Gary Turner, Gay Parita station, Jerry McClanahan
Route 66 artist Jerry McClanahan will have a public unveiling of his newest painting of Gary Turner's Gay Parita gas station at the station near Halltown, Mo., on Saturday, May 17.
According to a news release from the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, a meet-and-greet with hot dogs and soda will be at noon, with the official unveiling at 1 p.m.
The news release explains how the painting came about:
On June 6 of 2013, Curtis Gobeli, celebrating having turned 66 years of age with a dream trip down Route 66, stopped at Gary Turner's world-famous replica Sinclair Station while driving his immaculate 1966 Pontiac GTO. Meeting Jerry later at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, the two, inspired by the many examples of 66 embodied in Curtis' visit to Gay Parita, conspired to create a highly detailed watercolor commemorating that visit, with the GTO posed in front of Gary's eye-catching homage to the roadside past. In the sky above the scene float depictions of other Route 66 icons that Curtis and his wife Kath encountered on their cruise, as well as a map of 66 and a short prose history of the Route.
Organizers are asking attendees to RSVP (if possible) by emailing McClanahan at mcjerry(at)att(dot)net.
McClanahan, who resides in the Route 66 town of Chandler, Okla., also is the author of the "EZ 66 Guide" that provides turn-by-turn directions for following Route 66.

What happened to Krispy Kreme?
- p
- purchaser1 Jan 29, 2009 04:54 PM
I don't work in Boston anymore, but I'm hearing that the Krispy Kremes have gone away form the area. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I have been craving a glazed donut and dunkins isn't doing me right.
I think it's a nationwide problem. The one in Reno, NV, closed also. I grew up with KK's but I'm guessing after the initial swoon, as well as the initial public offering !, it just didn't sing to lots of people. Boo hoo. Every year or two, I need a plain, glazed :(
It is sad that a cottage business that began making Dutch fried yeast cakes in 1937, became an object of Wall Street pariahs in 2000, offering a refreshing alternative after the dot-com bust in the late 90's. The stock came to market at $21 and closed at $37 on the opening day. Incompetent management expanded stores and overhead recklessly, until today when the stock price is $1.40 per share and is losing $.55 per share annually. You can do the math to calculate when this brand with a faithful following since the post-depression era, will soon sink to the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Too bad.
re: Caralien
Oh, boo :( It makes me sad because I have such fond memories of it.
re: c oliver
They put a few of those in RI within the past few years. I had it once or twice and wasn't impressed. Too...fluffy or something.
What the hell is up with Mohegan? There's like 2 or 3 of them in that place with lines going out the door. I don't understand people who buy dozens of donuts at casinos..of all the food there and you're going to take home donuts you can get anywhere. Or sit at a table eating a box of donuts. haha.
re: stormshadow
There are already many threads on people not liking Krispy Kreme. It's better with a glass of milk, as is cake.
re: stormshadow
I thought KK had excellent coffee....more like Tim Hortons, less like that burnt bitter glop that DD's calls coffee.
noOb, they only had one in RI, in Cranston.
But yeah there is something about KK and casinos. First time I ever had KK was in Vegas, it was a southern family (I heard the accents) middle-aged couple w/the elderly mother of one of them. Breakfast was a dozen KK donuts, a couple of large McDonalds fries poured into the upended top of the donut box, and coffees all around. And they were skinny!
re: Delhiwala
They opened several here in CT to HUGH lines. The cars went down the Berlin Turnpike at the Newington shop. Same in Milford. After a while the hype died down and the Newington store tried to make up for lost business by selling to supermarkets. Unfortunately the zoning prohibited this and they had to stop. They closed not long after that. The funny thing is that building was taken over by CitiBank and they closed a few months after opening too. Jay
re: Delhiwala
KK was never going to break the Dunkin Donuts hold on New Englanders. It wasn't about the donuts (which I find way too sweet) but rather the coffee which was near undrinkable (not that I'm a fan of DD coffee either - I prefer my home brew to any I can get in a store), but New Englanders love the DD coffee (again not sure why, but they do), and once the novelty of the donuts wore off, there wasn't much reason to go back.
re: sophie fox
KK also had a pretty big accounting problem/scandal...that was a major part of their stock price problem.
I imagine the KK store traffic suffered when they started selling KK in supermarkets, even though that defeated the purpose, since the legendary beacon was the neon sign which was turned on to indicate when the donuts were hot off the fryer. Once the glazed ones were cooled, they were not the same. And the other varieties were no better than DDs. Most people here preferred DD's coffee, and larger size donuts, which are perceived as a better value.
re: greygarious
The first time I tried KK I loved them, I think it was the hype(I nevbr had one untile the store in Newington, CT opened). The 2nd time I had them they were horrible. Coffee was also terrible. Not a fan of DD anymore either. The coffee smell lingers thru my house for hours!!! Tim Hortons-IMHO-has the best, freshest coffee and their baked goods are also fresher than DD.
re: greygarious
Ha. That too. They were selling them in shaws and claiming to be "freshly baked for the day" and the funny thing is they were delivering at NIGHT. So many times I'd go to Shaws at like 9pm and see the Krispy Kreme truck there and the guy bringing in donuts.
Good riddance to bad rubbish! New England has a very proud donut tradition - home of the cruller (hand twisted, not the "French cruller" which is machine made and a joke like "French Fries"). In Connecticut it is widely know that, like Pizza, Grinders (Sub Sandwiches), and most everything you can put in your mouth - local places rule and we can't imaging going to a chain restaurant for the same snack or meal. Can you imagine Subway over Franklin Giant Grinders in Hartford? Pizza Hut over Modern Apizza in New Haven? So add Whitney Donut in Hamden vs. KK. See ya, sweet southern airballs! "You better run, Johnny Reb corporate chain! Yankee-born mom-n-pops all over New England will kick your ass into the late 21st century! (Just don't ask us to make biscuits . . .)" :-)
re: Pigeage
It might be a chain, but Subway is also a local business. They started out in Fairfield, near Sacred Heart, and now are headquartered in Milford. Their original business plan was based on selling a less expensive and better tasting alternative to college cafeteria food. For many years, they operated a sandwich truck (really an old school bus) around the UConn bars after close. When I was growing up, we didn't even have a chain supermarket in town, but we had two Subways and two Dunkin Donuts. Both of those chains have deep roots in the state. Krispy Kreme is a completely different story, but I don't see too many natives eschewing either Subway or Dunkin Donuts simply because they managed to spread out from Southern New England.
re: danieljdwyer
True story about Subway, but Frank Deluca didn't become a billionaire by serving us banquets.
re: danieljdwyer
I am aware of Subway's CT roots. They are a chain with a colorful record as a franchisee and have done much to spread good eating around the world. ;-)
wow, some pretty hostile feeling towards the KK! Never a huge donut fan, but the occasional fresh glazed donut was pretty awesome. Oh well, have to stick to the homemade cider donuts. Thanks for all your input!

Smarmy reductionists have accused playwright Martin McDonagh of lacking heart, exploiting cheap theatrics and failing to justify his characters' behavior. However, like the works of such master language architects as Anton Chekhov, Harold Pinter and even Irish expatriate Samuel Beckett, McDonagh's creations attain full flower only when nurtured by a seasoned director's artful touch. As expertly deciphered by the Denver Center Theatre Company's first-rate cast, McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane evolved into a vibrant portrait of contemporary Irish mores. By looking beyond obvious horizons, director Anthony Powell and company kindled feeling without lapsing into sentiment, startled the intellect without cudgeling the mind -- and helped to explain why the upstart McDonagh has reawakened dramatic imaginations on both sides of the Atlantic.
