Barrel Of Laughs: Andy Askins, Gareth Richards, Alex Boardman, David Ward
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Andy Askins
Dark, dark humour and killer timing.
"An awful lot of charm. Although he looks mild-mannered and studious, he actually packs a wry, cheeky wit. There is, most definitely, something warmly alluring about him. His winning persona goes a long way...between the songs, the charming banter works well." Chortle
Andy Askins tour dates
Gareth Richards
Engaging observational comedy, inspired one-liners and mischievously funny songs have made Gareth Richards an instant hit on the comedy circuit. 2010 Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nominee, he can be heard every Saturday morning on Frank Skinner's Absolute Radio show.
Gareth Richards tour dates
Alex Boardman
Oldham-born-and-bred comic who epitomises the laddish, male perspective on the world. After cutting his teeth on the Manchester comedy circuit, he is now a national act, appearing across the country and occasionally on the BBC. Not for the easily offended.
Alex Boardman tour dates
David Ward
Presenter, writer and comedian David Ward, is fast making his name on the comedy circuit. David is a friendly, upbeat presenter with an intelligent yet warm and cheeky outlook that gives him a unique and gentle bite. Fluid, quick thinking and lively, David's spontaneity has made him the choice host for the BBC's New Comedy Awards heats, as well as the rounds for C5's So You Think You're Funny? David's Edinburgh show The Whole Truth and Nothing But... in 2007 was performed to great acclaim, proving his skills as a writer, storyteller and actor in addition to his presenting and stand-up skills.

Afghan officials
say a man has rammed a motorcycle packed with explosives into a U.S. military
convoy in the east, causing a blast that killed at least 12 Afghans, CBS
reports. U.S. casualties are yet unknown.
Officials say the attack occurred in the province's capital Khost city about midday on Wednesday.
There is no information on casualties among U.S. forces. The U.S.-led military coalition, known as ISAF, confirmed the explosion, but did not offer information on casualties, according to the report.
Two women and three Afghan police were among the dead, the reprot said.
No group including the Taliban militants have so far claimed responsibility behind the attack, according to Khaama Press.

text: There are at least two elephants that live at the hotel and which sometimes wander around the grounds. At breakfast this morning we found them wandering around with their handler. Fortunately, I had my small camera in my pocket so I could get some cute pictures of the kids posing with the elephants. Beth didn't want to get close enough for a picture, even though she was riding on (and driving) a much bigger elephant yesterday.

Chalkboard Menu
When we moved into our house, this lovely portrait of the builder (yep, he built it by hand in 1920) of the house was left behind. Check out the 'stache!
Anyway, I fell in love with the frame and wanted to do something special with it. So, I took it apart (don't worry, I saved the painting of Mr. Everett)...
...primed the glass with two coats of primer...
...painted it with three coats of chalkboard paint...
...spray-painted the frame with a coat of black paint...
...and put it all back together! (P.S. While I was working with this rusty nail-infested frame, I was keenly aware of the fact that my tetanus shot is not up to date!)

Coffee Cupboard with Chalkboard Menu
As our family grows, I may not always have the luxury of having a cupboard in my kitchen solely devoted to coffee, but for the time being it is really wonderful!
I recently jazzed up our coffee cupboard by painting the inside of the door with chalkboard paint and writing a "menu," coffee shop style. (Note: I bought a quart of chalkboard paint. Tad has ten bucks riding on half of the house being painted by the middle of next week.)
P.S. You're going to want to try this Pumpkin Spice Syrup recipe!

I recently jazzed up our coffee cupboard by painting the inside of the door with chalkboard paint and writing a "menu," coffee shop style. (Note: I bought a quart of chalkboard paint. Tad has ten bucks riding on half of the house being painted by the middle of next week.)
I taped the area with masking tape and painted three coats of chalkboard paint, allowing each coat to fully dry in between. I seasoned the board by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk all over it and then wiping it clean. Now I'm looking for more things to paint...

Blogging 101
Q: How do I start a blog? What site do you recommend?
A: I have only used Blogger (okay, confession, I did use Xanga waaaaay back in high school), that is what I would recommend. I have also heard great things about Wordpress, but I can't help you with that since I've never used it. Go to Blogger and it is very easy to get started making a blog! Once you've done that...
Q: What template do you use for your blog? How do I edit my template/change colors/customize things?
A: Blogger has several layout templates you can choose from when you get started, but I recommend using one from another source. I like Our Blogger Templates, and that is where I got my layout template from. I use Brooklyn. This one is a very clean, minimal design with 3 columns. You can customize it a lot (fonts, colors, etc.) once you upload it. First, download the template you want. Then, go to your blogger dashboard, click "design," then click "edit html" near the top. Browse for the template and upload it. To customize the colors and fonts, click "template designer" and change away!
Q: How do I add a custom header?
A: Creating a custom header in photoshop or gimp (or another photo editor you like) is the easiest way to customize your blog. Make sure the size of your header is 800 to 978 px wide and 300 (or so) px high. On the "design" page on blogger, click "edit header" and upload your new custom header.
Q: How do I add "pages" to my blog (about me, contact me, etc.)?
A: To add "pages" to your blog (like how I have tabs for recipes, house tour, etc.), go to your dashboard, then click "posting," then click "edit pages," then add a new page.
Q: How do I add things like links and polls to the sidebars on my blog?
A: These are called gadgets or widgets. Go to your blogger dashboard and click "design." Decide where you want your widget and click "add gadget." You have lots of options to pick from: photos, links, blog rolls, polls, etc.
Q: How do I add an "etsy mini" like you have on your blog?
A: To add an etsy widget, first create an etsy mini through your account on etsy. Under "your etsy," click "etsy mini." You can choose to use items from your shop or from your favorites. It will generate a code for you. Copy this code. Now go back to your blogger dashboard and click "design." Decide where you want your etsy mini and click "add gadget." Select the "html/java script" option and paste the code in the box. Save and view!
Q: How do I add a custom signature to my posts?
A: You can add a signature to your posts by following this tutorial. (This same site also has other great tips.)
Q: How do I change the font of my blog post titles to something cute?
A: Making all your post titles show up in a cute font is kind of advanced and takes a while to do, but it's so worth it! (I just did it recently.) Here's a tutorial that shows how. (That is a really fun blog too.)
So, as you can see, I basically have learned how to customize my blog by googling, "how do I ____ in blogger" anytime I want to do something new! Hope these tips help you become a better blogger as well!
Feel free to ask me any more questions about blogging, and I'll try my best to answer them!

Myrtle Beach Vacation
Our family just had a great vacation at Myrtle Beach last week! We really enjoyed all of the time we got to spend together.
Vera went "swimming" for the first time in the heated indoor pool.
We watched the sunrise over the ocean from our balcony one morning.

We are so thankful for the blessing of getting to spend the week together as a family! It was a great vacation.

Shelf Re-do
I started this project with a small metal shelf I snagged at Goodwill for $1 over a year ago (yes, I liked quatrefoil before it was as popular as it is now). I loved the clean lines and I saw lots of potential in this little piece!
this piece. Now I have it hanging in my kitchen and I love what it has done for the plain white wall!
I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!

Blast-proof glass keeps you safe without spoiling the view
Everybody should have explosion-resistant windows. You know, just in case your house gets assaulted by kids with baseballs, tornadoes, or rogue cruise missiles. The University of Missouri has come up with some new glass that's super strong, very thin, and perfectly transparent.
Conventional blast-resistant (or bullet-proof) glass gets its strength in a large part from its thickness, which makes it difficult and expensive to install. This new type of glass, on the other hand, is only a quarter of an inch thick, making it easy to use pretty much wherever you want. Since regular glass can be more dangerous when it shatters than whatever actually causes it to shatter, being able to swap reinforced glass in for regular glass has the potential to keep you that much safer.
The glass gets its strength from an internal layer of long glass fibers that are each thinner than a hair. The fibers are woven together into a flexible sheet which is soaked in plastic resin, and then a thin piece of glass is stuck to each side to make a glass sandwich. The sandwich isn't just extremely strong, it's also entirely transparent, without the greenish tint that conventional high-strength glass has.
Watch a pane of this glass fail to get blown up by some explosive in the video below, and look for commercial availability in about three years.

—Found in the obituary section of your local paper—
The Sports Column (October 24, 1924–August 28, 2012)
The modern print sports column passed away on Tuesday, August 28, after suffering a long illness. The cause of death was a Rick Reilly column on ESPN.com on Lance Armstrong's decision to stop fighting formal charges that he doped to win the Tour de France.
Exhorting readers to make Friday a "wear yellow" day in honor of Armstrong, Reilly said the USADA investigation into Armstrong (and five others Reilly didn't mention) was so one-sided it amounted to a "firing squad"; equivocated that if Armstrong did cheat, it must've been OK because he was "just like everyone else" in the sport; confused direct eyewitness testimony with hearsay (here's a legal definition of the latter, Rick); and offered up a line that will surely be added to a movie trailer voiceover: "They might be able to ban him for life, but they can't ban him from life."
Days earlier, the sports column had suffered a series of adverse health events, including separate pieces by Sports Illustrated's Michael Rosenberg and the Daily Beast, which published one from sportswriter Harry Gerard "Buzz" Bissinger (author of Friday Night Lights).
Rosenberg announced he'd believed for several years that Armstrong cheated, then fell back on the Mainstream Sportswriter Trope No. 431, with the circular logic that we only cared about the Tour de France because an American won it and now that the American who won it never really won it, we don't care how he won it. Or didn't win it. Or something. Spare him the moral outrage:
"Sure, there were some cyclists who lost their chance at their dream because they refused to take drugs. I feel genuinely horrible for them. It isn't fair. But I suspect most Americans figure that, hey, you take a risk when you go biking in the mountains. Next time, call a cab."
The Higgs boson was observed for a longer period of time than Rosenberg felt "genuinely horrible."
Bissinger wrote that he still thought of Armstrong as a hero because Bissinger's 21-year-old son thinks he's still a hero, and employed Mainstream Sportswriter Trope No. 246: that Armstrong's primary adversary on the doping charges, USADA's Travis Tygart, isn't fit to pursue justice against Armstrong because he couldn't ride the Tour de France himself. By this analogy Armstrong should have to pass the bar and represent himself rather than be able to merely hire a lawyer.
The print sports column was born at New York City's Polo Grounds on October 18, 1924, when sportswriter Grantland Rice wrote his famous account of the Notre Dame–Army football game that included the following:
"Outlined against a blue-gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below."
Rice's prose was more than a little purple even by the standard of the day, but it helped usher in an era when sports columnists became outsize commentators of the game, analyzing events and editorializing on sports' social, moral, and political importance. Famous practitioners included Rice, Ring Lardner, and Red Smith.
Modern sports commentary had a brief health scare in June 1970 with the publication of Hunter Thompson's essay in Scanlan's Monthly, "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved," but subsequent tests showed it was a new form of literary life: "gonzo journalism."
Many experts point to ESPN's television programming as a primary culprit in the sports column's demise, particularly shows such as "Around the Horn," "Pardon the Interruption," and "First Take."
There, formerly respectable sports columnists such as Woody Paige, Tony Kornheiser, and Skip Bayless became caricatures of themselves interested mostly in starting fights that boost audience numbers, such as when Bayless recently cited zero evidence to suggest that Derek Jeter is doping.
Paige, after leaving "Around the Horn" and the disastrous "Cold Pizza," returned to The Denver Post and is currently in a long convalescence from television punditry and a slow, erratic recovery to sports commentary.
Reilly, Bissinger, and even noted bioethicist Arthur Caplan, who co-authored this MSNBC piece on Armstrong that contains more errors per paragraph than almost any single piece I've read on the whole sorry saga, all played roles in sports commentary's demise. (And MSNBC, perhaps more careful editing could have steered Caplan et al away from the unfortunate phrase "positive role model.") Read a thoughtful answer to the MSNBC piece here.
Their rationale is rationalization.
In 1999, even as Armstrong was being questioned over a positive test for corticosteroids, there was no way that a father—and cancer survivor!—would risk his health to dope. In 2000, when the Actovegin investigation proceeded, he would surely not risk his fame and fortune.
And in 2005, when L'Equipe published its exposé on retroactive testing on Armstrong's 1999 samples that showed that, if an EPO test had existed at the time, six of Armstrong's samples would have failed, we were told that Armstrong meant so much to the cancer community that he would never risk that trust.
Now, the meme is that, well, if he did dope, everyone else was doing it as well and it doesn't really matter because he did so much for cancer awareness that his good deeds wipe out his bad, as if we deserve praise for the former and not punishment for the latter.
Faced with the whining, rationalizing state of modern sports commentary, doctors concluded that the genre is in a vegetative state and made the painful decision to turn off the ventilator.
The epitaph on the tombstone will be the famous quote often attributed to former U.S. senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan: "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."
The sports column was preceded in death by the ability to understand cognitive dissonance and reading comprehension. It is survived by Twitter.

Review: 'The Battle of Blood and Ink: A Fable of the Flying City' HC
ICv2 Stars: 2.5 (out of 5)
Published: 04/27/2012 03:38am
Publisher: Tor Books
Release Date: May 2012
Price: $25.99
Creator(s): Jared Axelrod (writing); Steve Walker (art)
Format: 144 pgs.; B&W; Hardcover
Age Rating: n/a
ICv2 Rating: 2 Stars out of 5
Ashe and her friend Tolban live on the edge, committed to publishing their one-page newspaper The Lurker's Guyde to Amperstam, which exposes the misdeeds of the iron-fisted Provost who rules the flying city of Amperstam. But when Ashe stumbles upon the secret to Amperstam's flight, the news may be too dangerous to print.
Axelrod and Walker's graphic novel is a sequel to the podcast series Fables of the Flying City, the first two volumes of which are available at http://www.fablesoftheflyingcity.com. Readers don't really need to know the series to understand most of the graphic novel's plot, but those aren't already fans may find themselves wishing for a bit of background on the world the characters inhabit.
Overall the steampunk setting and political intrigue are entertaining enough, but the story never really reaches greatness. The story does not try hard enough to distinguish itself from other girl-overcoming-her-past storylines and comes across a bit too much like Phil and Kadja Foglio's critically lauded Girl Genius series. Walker (who handled illustration duties for Sons of Liberty by Alexander and Joseph Lagos) does a good job with the multi-racial characters, but those characters sway between overacting and looking blank and lost. The thick black elements of the art and lack of shading make it hard at times to tell what is happening, a problem during action sequences. Those faults, combined with the high price of the hardcover volume, make this a very optional purchase for libraries that desperately need more steampunk graphic novels.

Anger Management
Time Out saysSandler's mild-mannered businessman Dave Buznik is a dangerously implosive type desperately in need of assertiveness training. The prescription of unorthodox clinical psychiatrist Dr Buddy Rydell (Nicholson) is radical, round the clock, one-on-one therapy. Not only does he move in with his patient, he puts the moves on his girl. No, it doesn't make much sense, and yes, it's irredeemably phallocentric - but that is, perhaps, its saving grace. Sandler taps into the hysterical panic buried beneath the neutering constraints of political correctness, the suppressions and anxieties of the new man, the prevailing strictures of therapy culture. In the funniest, edgiest scene (also virtually the first), he's 'air raged' by two flight attendants, one black, one female, synching the ultimate passive-aggressive mantra: 'Our country's going through a real hard time right now.' And it's significant that director Segal (Nutty Professor 2, Naked Gun 33∆) reserves the place of honour in an illustrious line of cameos for New York's former mayor, Rudolph Giuliani. But still, there's nowhere meaningful left to go after Dave has proved himself a real man by beating up a Buddhist monk. Loved the clothes line for fat cats, though.

|Bible in Basic English (BBE)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 When Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king, this word came from the Lord, saying,
|1 Early in the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
|2 This is what the Lord has said: Take your place in the open square of the Lord's house and say to all the towns of Judah, who come into the Lord's house for worship, everything I give you orders to say to them: keep back not a word;
|2 "This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the LORD's house and speak to all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in the house of the LORD. Tell them everything I command you; do not omit a word.
|3 It may be that they will give ear, and that every man will be turned from his evil way, so that my purpose of sending evil on them because of the evil of their doings may be changed.
|3 Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from his evil way. Then I will relent and not bring on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done.
|4 And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: If you do not give ear to me and go in the way of my law which I have put before you,
|4 Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have set before you,
|5 And give ear to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, getting up early and sending them, though you gave no attention;
|5 and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened),
|6 Then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this town a curse to all the nations of the earth.
|6 then I will make this house like Shiloh and this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.' "
|7 And in the hearing of the priests and the prophets and all the people, Jeremiah said these words in the house of the Lord.
|7 The priests, the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speak these words in the house of the LORD.
|8 Now, when Jeremiah had come to the end of saying everything the Lord had given him orders to say to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people took him by force, saying, Death will certainly be your fate.
|8 But as soon as Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests, the prophets and all the people seized him and said, "You must die!
|9 Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
|9 Why do you prophesy in the LORD's name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted?" And all the people crowded around Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
|10 And the rulers of Judah, hearing of these things, came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord, and took their seats by the new door of the Lord's house.
|10 When the officials of Judah heard about these things, they went up from the royal palace to the house of the LORD and took their places at the entrance of the New Gate of the LORD's house.
|11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the rulers and to all the people, The right fate for this man is death; for he has said words against this town in your hearing.
|11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and all the people, "This man should be sentenced to death because he has prophesied against this city. You have heard it with your own ears!"
|12 Then Jeremiah said to all the rulers and to all the people, The Lord has sent me as his prophet to say against this house and against this town all the words which have come to your ears.
|12 Then Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people: "The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and this city all the things you have heard.
|13 So now, make a change for the better in your ways and your doings, and give ear to the voice of the Lord your God; then the Lord will let himself be turned from the decision he has made against you for evil.
|13 Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the LORD your God. Then the LORD will relent and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you.
|14 As for me, here I am in your hands: do with me whatever seems good and right in your opinion.
|14 As for me, I am in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right.
|15 Only be certain that, if you put me to death, you will make yourselves and your town and its people responsible for the blood of one who has done no wrong: for truly, the Lord has sent me to you to say all these words in your ears.
|15 Be assured, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing."
|16 Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, It is not right for this man to be put to death: for he has said words to us in the name of the Lord our God.
|16 Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, "This man should not be sentenced to death! He has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."
|17 Then some of the responsible men of the land got up and said to all the meeting of the people,
|17 Some of the elders of the land stepped forward and said to the entire assembly of people,
|18 Micah the Morashtite, who was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, said to all the people of Judah, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Zion will become like a ploughed field, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the woodland.
|18 "Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: " 'Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.'
|19 Did Hezekiah and all Judah put him to death? did he not in the fear of the Lord make prayer for the grace of the Lord, and the Lord let himself be turned from the decision he had made against them for evil? By this act we might do great evil against ourselves.
|19 "Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah fear the LORD and seek his favor? And did not the LORD relent, so that he did not bring the disaster he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves!"
|20 And there was another man who was a prophet of the Lord, Uriah, the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; he said against this town and against this land all the words which Jeremiah had said:
|20 (Now Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim was another man who prophesied in the name of the LORD; he prophesied the same things against this city and this land as Jeremiah did.
|21 And when his words came to the ears of Jehoiakim the king and all his men of war and his captains, the king would have put him to death; but Uriah, hearing of it, was full of fear and went in flight into Egypt:
|21 When King Jehoiakim and all his officers and officials heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But Uriah heard of it and fled in fear to Egypt.
|22 And Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt.
|22 King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan son of Acbor to Egypt, along with some other men.
|23 And they took Uriah out of Egypt and came back with him to Jehoiakim the king; who put him to death with the sword, and had his dead body put into the resting-place of the bodies of the common people.
|23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck down with a sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.)
|24 But Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, gave Jeremiah his help, so that he was not given into the hands of the people to be put to death.
|24 Furthermore, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, and so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.

Pilot killed in experimental plane crash in Port St. Lucie
Updated On: Apr 14 2013 10:00:00 PM EDT
An experimental plane crashed near the Treasure Coast Air Park on Sunday morning, killing the pilot.
"We have (a) single-engine, single-passenger airplane, experimental," said Maj. Michael Graves of the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said the pilot, John Schoonover of Davie, was killed in the crash.
Officials suspected poor visibility was the cause.
"It's a Treasure Coast air park neighborhood that has an airport of its own," Graves said. "People fly in and out all the time."
No other people were aboard the plane.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.

Betty Biodiesel is an ecosupershero character developed by Lindsay Hassett, Green MBA, MA. Since the tender young age of 2, Lindsay has been dressing up in costumes and entertaining audiences. She started with her parents, friends and neighbors and now not only entertains but also educates Northern California school children along with conference attendees and festival goers.
She developed Betty Biodiesel in March 2002, out of Lindsay's passion for connecting the three E's: education, entertainment and the environment. After a year of researching other superheroes, she soon realized that while Batman, Superman and Catwoman are wonderful superheroes that inspire us, there also is a great need for superheroes with a mission of saving our earth's resources.
The real creation story of Betty Biodiesel as an ecosupershero is yet to be told.

Quête identitaire et écriture de filiation dans Dieu est né en exil de Horia Vintila

AbstractHoria Vintila fictionalizes in his novel, Dieu est né en exil, Ovid's diary, a Latin writer of the 1st century who, exiled from Rome, finds his freedom in Tomes, a town which is now in the Rumanian territory and it is named Constanta. The empiric author, exiled himself too, imagines the last eight years of Ovid's life that represented a time of waiting, remaking his faith, renouncing of the gods in favor of God, and even more, a time of finding himself. With his novel, Horia Vintila was both included in and excluded from the French society, continuing thus the condition of the exiled writer.

Associated Press
MOSCOW (AP) - The global campaign to free Pussy Riot is gaining speed: Supporters of the punk provocateur band are mobilizing this week in at least two dozen cities worldwide to hold simultaneous demonstrations an hour before a Russian court rules on whether its members will be sent to prison.
Friday's rallies will ride a wave of support for the three women who have been in jail for more than five months because of an anti-Putin prank in Moscow's main cathedral. Calls for them to be freed have come from a long list of celebrities such as Madonna and Bjork. Protests have been held in a number of Western capitals, including Berlin, where last week about 400 people joined Canadian electro-pop performance artist Peaches to support the band.
In one of the most extravagant displays, Reykjavik Mayor Jon Gnarr rode through the streets of the Icelandic capital in a Gay Pride parade this weekend dressed like a band member _ wearing a bright pink dress and matching balaclava _ while lip-synching to one of Pussy Riot's songs.
Although the band members and their lawyers are convinced that the verdict depends entirely on the will of President Vladimir Putin, and prosecutors have asked for a three-year sentence, activists hope their pressure will ease punishment or even free the women.
Putin has said the women should not be judged too harshly, but he risks appearing weak if they walk free.
Amnesty International has declared the women prisoners of conscience and collected tens of thousands of petitions to be sent to the Russian government. So far, though, the human rights group said it has been blocked from delivering them. Two boxes containing 70,000 petitions were taken to the Russian Embassy in Washington on Tuesday, but a Russian diplomat carried them outside and dumped them on the sidewalk, Amnesty International spokeswoman Sharon Singh said.
"He did not want them anywhere on Russian soil," she said by telephone on Wednesday. Repeated calls to the embassy went unanswered.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich were little known before their brief impromptu performance in Christ the Savior Cathedral in February. Dancing and high-kicking, they shouted the words of a "punk prayer" asking the Virgin Mary to deliver Russia from Putin, who was set to win a third term in a March presidential election.
They were arrested on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years. Since then, they have been vilified by the state media, while winning over hearts at home and abroad.
About 20 supporters wearing colorful balaclavas held a brief protest on the steps of the cathedral on Wednesday, each holding up a letter to spell out "Blessed are the merciful" in Russian.
"This action was done in support of the girls," said Anna Tashina, 18, who was one of at least two protesters detained by police. "We wanted them to know that we are with them, that they haven't been forgotten."
Madonna also donned a balaclava during a concert in Moscow last week and had "Pussy Riot" written on her bare back. Yoko Ono sent a personal message to Samutsevich, saying that "the power of your every word is now growing in us."
A group of leading British musicians, including Pete Townshend of the Who and members of the Pet Shop Boys, published a letter in the Times of London ahead of Putin's visit during the Olympics to urge him to give the Pussy Riot members a fair hearing.
On Friday, activists in more than a dozen cities are expected to take to the streets beginning at 2 p.m. Moscow time (1000 GMT), an hour before the judge is to issue the verdict. The protests are being coordinated by the defense lawyers.
Venues vary from the square outside the ornate Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona to the yard outside the Russian Embassy in London.
In Paris, the protest will be held on Stravinsky Square and led by 29-year-old Alexey Prokopyev from Russie-Libertés, a Paris-based organization formed in December to bring together Russians studying or working in France.
"Most people go to these rallies in Paris because we cannot be in Russia at the moment for various reasons _ because of jobs, classes," said Prokopyev, who was born in the Soviet Union and has spent most of the past 17 years in France. "We all wish we were in Moscow now, but since we can't we do it in Paris."
Russie-Libertés also is helping to organize rallies in Marseille, Nice, Lyons and Montpellier.

I was interviewed last week by DCN about Eleanor. … Want to read Eleanor without waiting for new pages week after week? Click here to get it from iBooks, or here from Graphicly!
Did you really expect anything else from Eleanor today? Last week she awoke from her billion-year coma to a hospital bed and a tangle of tubes and wires. Who wouldn't burrow back into their own psyche when faced with a reality just like hers?
This is one of my favorite pages of Eleanor's story. Hers is a life of repeated desperate acts, but in the midst of them, there's a certain serenity about her. Some of you might remember an early version of this page that I shared last year, as a sort of practice run for getting it right. Both versions of this page are available as prints in my gallery.
Here's a side-by-side of the two pages — the dry run, and the completed page. I like them both, for very different reasons.
Keep an eye out this week for a gorgeous Eleanor pinup from my Caretaker collaborator Tony D'Amato. (It's so good I regret I never asked him to draw the entire Eleanor story.)
Happy Monday to you!

I apologize in advance for any geekgasms, squees or embarassing pre-order attempts this headline may have caused, as this is not a post about a new LEGO BioShock video game. In truth, this story is about one builder's efforts to recreate Rapture in toy block form for this week's Brickworld 2011 LEGO expo in Chicago. Yes, it was misleading, but perhaps your'll find it within your nerd hearts to offer forgiveness once you see this epic creation up close:
The epic reimagining of Rapture was created by Imagine Rigney, a LEGO enthusiast who has also constructed similar pieces inspired by Star Wars and Avatar. More pictures depicting other BioShock locales can be viewed on Rigney's section of MOCpages.

For all of you who turned out, I want to say "Thank You" in a very heartfelt manner. For the Third straight year, we have been the center-piece of their little demo (in fact, their coordinator said she didn't think it would be successful IF we weren't there! That should make all of us feel good!) and we have already been invited back for their 4th Medieval Faire next year. So start planning. The weather cooperated perfectly for all the fighters, both heavy and light and I want to thank all those who were there. In the heavy lists, we had Earl Drake, Mistress Stella, His Next-cllency Armand Dragonetti, Colete, Tomas, Tristan, Conner, Louis, Finn, Irina and 2 others whose names escape me at the moment. In the rapier list, we had Don Valentyn, Dirk the Just, Rixende, Seamus, Caelin, and one other whose name also escapes me. To those people, I humbly apologize. Pyro, Genevieve, Aeryn Robin, Siobhan and her mother, Wormy, Her Next-cllency Amilene, Siobhan ui Neill. Brighid Ni Sheachnasigh and Mistress Stella all had wonderful demos going on. Tara, Don Alaric, Daniel Stewart, their next-cellenices children, Colete's children, and again a couple of others whose names I missed aided and assisted and made this a wonderful event. Mistress Stella and I had classes scheduled, but mine got pre-emptied by two wonderful ladies from the Greater Fort Worth Herbal Society, so I yielded to them. There was even live harp music by the MicheMalou Celtic Harps (a wonder to listen to) and wee ones from La Touche Fencing fencing in-between our bouts. And to top it off, we had, at last count, 14 -- that's right, FOURTEEN -- people to show enough interest in us to ask for more information. And special thanks to Lady Sibri for providing two photo albums of Elfsea history for display! This is starting to be one of our bigger recruiting events, so if you were not able to make it out this year, please plan on it for next year. As things progress, I will keep everyone informed!

6 Ways to Use Up Leftover Wine
The wine was good, but dinner's over and there's just a little left in the bottle. What can you do with it?
Keep it. Even a little wine does magic things to your cooking.
1. Make your own wine vinegar. It's easy. You'll need a clean glass jar and a bottle of commercial vinegar with the "mother of vinegar" – wisps of original vinegar-making material in it. Organic vinegars work best.
- Pour the bottle of vinegar into your jar. Add any leftover wine to it. You can mix wines if you want, but the vinegar does taste better if you keep separate jars for white and red.
- Cover the jar with cheesecloth or a paper towel. Secure it with a rubber band.
- Store at room temperature, away from any open bottles of wine. You don't want vinegar bacteria getting into your drink.
- Stir once daily and start tasting after a week. Some vinegar will evaporate, so keep adding leftover wine.
Don't be startled if a new "mother" starts forming at the bottom of the jar. This is a sign of good health. Once it's firm, you can pick it out of the jar with tongs and give it away, compost it, or use it to start a fresh supply of vinegar.
- Start using the vinegar when it's gotten sour enough to suit you.
2. Blend up a wine vinaigrette. Leftover white wine makes an elegant, fresh-tasting salad dressing or sauce for fish, chicken, or vegetables. You'll need:
1/3 cup white wine
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
1 teaspoon honey – if the wine is dry. If using a sweet wine, omit the honey.
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup olive oil
- Blend the wine, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Still blending (either with a fork, whisk, or the blender), add the oil, slowly.
- Mix again just before serving.
That's it. The vinaigrette will keep up to a week refrigerated.
3. Poach pears in wine. This dessert makes a welcome light ending to a rich meal. Use red or rosé wine. Follow this link for the recipe.
4. Marinate beef, chicken, fish, or tofu in wine. Use your judgment; red wine for red meat, white or rosé for chicken, white for fish or tofu. Keep in mind how the color of the wine will affect the look of the finished dish: will you mind if your chicken looks purple?
A simple marinade:
1 cup leftover wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 thinly-sliced onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ½ teaspoon ground or freshly-grated ginger, a strip of orange peel as long as your forefinger, 1 bay leaf.
- Lay the raw meat (or fish, or tofu) in the marinade. Refrigerate immediately till you're ready to cook the dish. Note: Meat, chicken, and tofu may be marinated ½-hour to overnight in the fridge. Fish will "cook" and fall apart if left longer than ½-hour in the marinade.
- Turn the ingredients over half-way into the marinating time so that they will absorb the flavors evenly.
- Remove the marinaded ingredient from the liquid. Now grill, sauté, or roast your dish.
- Don't throw the marinade liquid out either. You can cook it down in a saucepan till it's thick and spoon it over the finished dish for yet more flavor.
5. Use leftover wine as part of the liquid in tomato sauce or gravy. The perceptible "winey" flavor will cook out, but the sauce will take on a richness and depth that wasn't there before. On the other hand, if you stir the wine in just a few minutes before you intend to serve, the the sauce will have a delicious winey top note to harmonize with the deeper, rich notes of cooked vegetables.
6. Freeze your leftover wine.Use sealable bags to store your leftover wine, even quarter-cupfuls, in the freezer. You can then break off however much you think you'll need, as you need it.
Use up or freeze your leftover wine within a day if it's been left out, or a week if it's been re-corked and kept in the fridge. Wine that's old and tastes unpleasant is only fit to be poured down the drain.
I love the taste of roast-lamb gravy enriched with a last-minute dollop of red wine. My grandmother, who studied the art of sauces at the Cordon Bleu (back in the 1950s), used to make roast lamb with wine gravy – and when I cook it like she did, vivid memories of summertime dinners at Grandma and Grandpa's house come back to me.

Thanks for these great ideas! I especially like the vinaigrette and the marinade.
Chag samei'ach to you and yours!
Such great ideas! I feel bad that we don't drink nearly enough wine to have leftovers to implement all this. I've thought of making my own vinegar, but until we start drinking more, I think I'll have to settle for buying vinegar.
Question for you — I retrieved a beautiful, opaque mother out of an old bottle of wine vinegar, and I mixed it and the sludge from the bottom of the bottle with some leftover wine. But now I'm reading that you can't use regular commercial wine because the nitrates will kill the bacteria/mother. Is that true? Are you using regular old wine? I hope I didn't kill this mother!

Drama to start with app resetting booking dates when got to payment screen (I should've checked my fault) but the nightmare of hostelworld telling me to contact the hotel and the hotel saying contact hostelworld. Two days then we were booked for 4 nights based on 3 separate beds as advertised. We arrived to find two beds in the room and they said they don't have any rooms with three beds. Refused to refund the deposit without staying one night. We left first thing the next morning.

Throughout the course of Anime Expo, attendees will be able to watch Lexi and Devon (the Chalk Twins) working on their large-scale Fate/Zero piece. Upon completion, the piece will be available for purchase at the Charity Auction on July 7th.
Sidewalk chalk is a performing art. Devon and Lexi interact with you – answering questions and talking about anime, art – all while the artwork comes alive at their feet. The ladies are self-proclaimed geeks and have found real joy in the characters, story lines and art of anime. They make it a point to watch each of the shows that they create in their drawings. Chalk Twins performance pieces are typically 25 to 100 square feet in size.
Devon and Lexi graduated from Furman University where they both received majors in studio art. They have had the chance to study a breadth of media along with the unique opportunity to study a semester through the University of Georgia program in Cortona, Italy. In addition to their formal study in art, Devon and Lexi have enjoyed tremendous success as chalk artists. For the past nine years they have been participating in chalk art competitions throughout the East coast where they have been awarded in 14 out of 17 events.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ford brave to tie it on
Brisbane -- Frankly, it's none of our business but Australia was transfixed this week by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and the question on all lips Down Under is this: How, in the name of all that is holy, can the mayor of a major municipality front a news conference wearing a tie suggesting the Rio de Janeiro Carnival is underway across his shirt front.
How can an elected figure in a liberal democracy mirroring our own in so many ways adopt an article of clothing giving the impression a drunken Jackson Pollock has been doodling on him?
How is it possible that a man in charge of one of the great cities of the Americas stands straight-faced before an audience looking like the finale of a fireworks display?
Canada, in truth, that tie has unearthed all sorts of emotions among your Commonwealth cousins who are wondering if perhaps we don't know each other as well as we first thought.
A young Australian man-about-town may wear that tie. Even a middle-age dad may be permitted such an indulgence at a family wedding, provided he's willing to bat back a variety of witty comments questioning everything from his sexuality to his sanity.
But a politician regardless of position in state, federal or local government does not, by some ancient government fiat that almost certainly exists in a Canberra vault, wear a tie that hints at happiness, frivolity or, God forbid, individuality.
Stripe it, dot it, but make sure it has a blue hue and in no circumstances allow creative expression anywhere near an item of clothing that started life as the exuberant cravat, but has been pared back to represent sombre formality.
But, in truth, amid all this wonderment at Ford's audacity there is a sprinkling of envy that an overweight, middle-aged politician can be so magnificently flamboyant and not suffer on-the-spot impeachment.
And here we may have the nub of the issue. Australia has been rightly criticized for decades for suffering a malady known as the "cultural cringe."
It's a phrase neatly capturing our lack of confidence in our own abilities -- the residue of our beginnings as a colony of criminals far removed from the "real world" which in the 18th century was Europe.
And so, like the uncool kid at high school, we've spent the last two centuries suspecting other countries were setting trends way ahead of us in politics, arts, science and literature.
And now, we timidly suspect, neck ties.
Ford's international exposure as a living spaghetti sauce explosion is giving us diffident souls anxiety attacks, wondering if perhaps this is the "new look" and it's us in the staid blue ties looking silly.
Some are even harkening back to the days of a long-ago federal immigration minister, Al Grasby, who exhibited a sartorial flamboyance that still leaves elderly Australian men shaking their heads in reverential awe.
Billed as the only Australian male capable of being taken seriously while sporting a pink and yellow suit, Al, much like Ford, challenged old conventions and opened up a world of fashion possibilities to his more staid brethren.
Al reportedly wore a tie so obviously unique, Queen Elizabeth, while on a national visit in the 1970s, asked if she might take it back to Buckingham Palace so she could give it to her then-teenage son Andrew.
But, like disco, flared jeans and hairy chests, Al's unique fashion sense, which breathed so much life into the national capital, disappeared into obscurity.
Any Australian politician who dares venture back into that dangerous territory risks the censure of his colleagues, and a media merciless in its commentary on male dress sense.
The politician brave enough to wear a Ford replica tie to a public event will be greeted by that sniggering aside so often heard when anyone dares challenge conventionality.
"What's he been smoking?"
Michael Madigan is the Winnipeg Free Press correspondent in Australia. He writes mostly about politics for the Brisbane-based Courier Mail.
