Hi everyone, Newbie poster here - though I've been reading posts for a while and found this forum very helpful. Just purchased my first home - there are hookups in the garage for a washer and dryer. I believe the previous owners had a gas dryer b/c there is a gas hookup provided. There is an electrical outlet closer to the washer slot. How do I know if I can use this for an electric dryer? I know that electric dryers are 240V while the washers are 120V. Is there an easy way for me to figure out whether I can use this outlet for an electric dryer or does an electrician need to look at it? Thanks in advance for any insight! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If the electrical outlet has the typical three holes of any other outlet in your house it's a 120 volt outlet. An electrical dryer outlet is has a different receptacle setup. |

Council staff understand the importance of the BMP reporting to meet UWMP deadlines. We have made available Interactive PDFs that look and feel very similar to the reporting application and will enable Council staff to transfer the data directly into the reporting software when it is ready. Agencies will not need to re-enter data is entered into these forms.
The Foundational BMPs, Base Year Data, Water Sources, and Accounts & Water Uses forms are currently available for both retail and wholesale agencies. These forms make it possible for your agency to utilize the GPCD option immediately so that you may move forward with completing your UWMP. By selecting the GPCD option, an agency would only need to complete the Foundational BMP reporting along with the GPCD tool and submit to complete your reporting requirement for the Council.
Click here to get started!
BMP Reporting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Please note we are working on the Programmatic BMP Interactive PDFs. We anticipate their completion in the next week or two. They will be posted on the website and an email will go out to announce their completion. Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and support in this process.
If an Agency wants its coverage reports before July 1, 2011, the Council requests that you submit your BMP report forms by May 31, 2011. If an agency's complete set of 2009-2010 BMP reporting forms are submitted by May 31, we guarantee that you have them in time to complete your UWMP before the July 1 deadline. Agencies that submit after June 1 may receive coverage reports in June, but CUWCC staff cannot guarantee this. Agencies that choose to use other means of showing compliance for your UWMP, and are not using coverage reports, are requested to submit your data by August 1, 2011, so that we may compile all member data for the SWRCB report. Agencies that have already submitted your forms using the GPCD compliance track will begin receiving Coverage reports in the next couple of weeks. A more firm date will be given in the near future as soon as we have thoroughly tested the coverage calculator.

Wrath of the Math: Obama Wins Nerdiest Election Ever
- |
- 11:19 pm |
- Permalink
And of course, no election in the internet age is complete without politics-themed memes — an endless, inexhaustible supply of DIY memes.
When Romney said, bizarrely, during a presidential debate that he kept "binders full of women" as governor, the internet created parody Twitter accounts and Tumblrs for Binders Full of Women before the debate ended. Romney's hidden-camera video showing the candidate deriding the "47 percent" of hopeless Obama voters as indigent and government-dependent spurred an avalanche of liberal outrage, powered by Tumblr. Obama did an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, resulting in Reddit's biggest traffic ever, and came back to Reddit to say thanks on Election Day. Separately, the often-aloof Obama had to defend himself against charges of being "Spock-like," which the internet adored — as it adored turning Romney into a robot. (Seriously, even John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic version of Romney, got in on that meme.)
There were even Meta-Memes: What About Your Gaffes became a great, and incisive, way to mock the frivolity of the press corps, hinging off a dumb-ass "question" shouted to Romney in July. Obama being the First Meme President itself became a meme. The internet, full after eating itself, wiped its mouth with the election.
Data was also the story of how this election was analyzed. Obama won the election. But Nate Silver of The New York Times completely reshaped its coverage. Silver steadied the nerves of liberals and rattled the teeth of conservatives, all through a proprietary model of poll aggregation and weighting. Silver, who called the 2008 election with stunning accuracy, sought to do for politics what sabermetrics did for baseball: Factor out as many subjective judgments as possible, to determine who would win the race. Conservatives noted that Silver's model consistently favored Obama and smelled a rat, giving rise to the alternative Unskewed Polls (and, inevitably, the sardonic hashtag #unskewedpolls).
Silver's model is disruptive. It implicitly calls into question the utility of political pundits, and the pundits struck back. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Politico's Dylan Byers were among the mainstream journalists rolling their eyes at Silver, and others went way further, calling Silver effeminate, as if that refuted his model. (Naturally, the internet provided Is Nate Silver A Witch). Whatever the outrage against Silver, political quantification is likely here to stay, because, as Zeynep Tufecki wrote for WIRED, it strips much of the superficiality away from political reporting (and helps confront innumeracy, too). A good statistical model > cable news > horserace tweets.

Giving from Corporations and Foundations
Corporations donated over $51 million including six gifts of $1 million or more. Company products accounted for over $2 million of the total.
Corporations also support educational priorities by matching contributions from their employees. Three thousand matching gifts enhanced the value of individual contributions by $1.5 million.
With almost 1,200 contributions, private foundations, including family foundations, contributed over $64 million, representing a 16 percent increase from the prior year. Fourteen gifts of $1 million or more were received by 10 universities, including Channel Islands, Chico, Fullerton, Los Angeles, Monterey Bay, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Marcos, San Francisco and San José.

Last night, Kanye West had his second show of his "Yeezus" tour in San Jose, California. I struggled for awhile on whether or not I was going to write a review for a few reasons. My main reason was because I am a Kanye West "stan". There is very little he can do wrong in my eyes, therefore making any review I would produce totally bias. Even if I hated the concert I would never let you know know that. I refuse to give people more ammo to shoot down the visions and goals he as for his art. With that being said, I did decide to write a review [obviously, right?]. However, instead of giving you his set list and telling you if you should go or not, I rather share with you the sights and sounds of the show. I'll share my experience, rather than forcing my opinion down your throats.
So first let me tell you that this damn concert starts on time. If you are a "concert goer" than you know that this is not usually the case. The show sometimes starts a good 30 minutes or so after the time printed on your ticket…not on the "Yeezus" tour. Kendrick Lamar promptly hit that stage at 7:30pm. Because this show was in bay area, Kendrick brought out the ambassador of the bay, E-40. As someone who lives in San Francisco, I can tell you this is very common. When hip hop acts come to town they almost always bring out either E-40 or Too Short and sometimes both. It always gets the crowd hyped because we're proud of the music that comes out of this area.
After Kendrick, the set-up for Mr. West begins. Okay, I need to point this out to you and it's a bit tedious [depending on who you are]. The music that is playing during the intermission is not hip hop. It's not even the latest music. If you pay attention you will notice that it is old school r&b that has been sampled for various hip hop tracks. For example, "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume which was sampled for Biggie Smalls' "Juicy". And if the song wasn't sampled then it was just straight old school r&b like "Back Down Memory Lane" by Minnie Riperton. I rather enjoyed it. Such a change from blasting the latest 2 Chainz or Drake cut. It kept the crowd pretty relaxed.
After a loop of old school hits play for awhile, the lights go down at almost 9pm sharp [Kanye is not on CPT]. Out comes these…these… I don't want to call them dancers, because they didn't dance, but I will call these ladies performance artist serving as key visual aids throughout the concert. Each one was dressed in a nude body suit and wore what appeared to be something comparable to a stocking cap over their faces. They slowly walk out and await along with the crowd of the arrival of Kanye West, or as we will call him on this tour, "Yeezus". When the rapper does emerge, he is dawning a Masion Martin Margiela mask. In fact, his whole tour wardrobe is Margiela. In total, Kanye wore four mask and did not take it off until the very end of the show. I was impressed that he could perform with it on for so long, yet disappointed because I wanted to see that mug of his.
Another thing I feel it is important to point out is that Kanye spends most of the show at the stage in the middle of the arena. I point this out because there are very expensive VIP general admission tickets that are being sold that let people stand at the front stage. I would advise you to not buy those, you will be cheated out of an experience you think you're paying for. Kanye is rarely at that stage, I'm almost tempted to say never.
Which brings me the set-up of the stage. It looks complicated, but in actuality is very simple. The center stage that sometimes rises a bit in the front [think Lion King, when they raise Simba to meet the pride], is the main stage. On the front stage [which rarely gets used] there is a mountain that is sometimes foggy and other times emitting fire and flames. Kanye performs one song at the top of this mountain ['Power']. Interesting enough the projector is hovering above this mountain. This helps make the mountain look taller than it actually is as well as provides the fans with a more detailed look at Kanye's masks and wardrobe. There is a live band, but it's pretty far off to the side of the front stage. It was clear that the band's role was to be heard and not seen.
Kanye barely talks to the crowd on this tour. He mentions his mother and the song ['Coldest Winter'] he wrote for her before he performs it and at the very end ask if the crowd had a good time and shots out his fiance [Yes, Kim was there with her mom Kris]. Kanye not conversing with the crowd was not as awkward as it may sound. Kanye's fans don't need to hear him talk, they just want the music. Let's face it, we've heard him talk enough in these past few weeks.
Overall, this concert is a religious experience. No, I'm serious. The theme of this tour is Jesus, despite the title being "Yeezus". There are many religious reference to God and Jesus and the role Knaye's faith has played in his life. The show can be viewed as a play or a musical about Kanye's journey through life and how God has lead him through certain situations. God influences Kanye in so many ways: lyrically, creatively, spiritually, and so on. The concept of "Yeezus" isn't that I am on the same level or higher than Jesus [or God], but that because Kanye was created in His image, he is a reflection of Him and therefore he is Him…we are all are. Kanye has embraced the God within him and is trying to encourage his listeners to do the same, despite what anyone has to say about it. By the end of the concert, the audience has grasped this concept with great understand, so by the time Kanye performs "Jesus Walks" it has taken on an even greater meaning than it would have if he would have chose to perform the song earlier in the evening.
After attending this show, I can say that it is a fact that Kanye not only thinks he's great, he wants us to think and know that we are great too.

Gucci Mane Lands No. 1 Rap Album, Chris Brown Sells Career Low
Last week's releases were full of quality material from Chris Brown, Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland and the Clipse. But Susan Boyle won't let them all be great, as her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, held steady at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart, selling 582,000 copies in its third week of release.
Brown's Graffiti meanwhile debuted at No. 7, the lowest first-week tally of his career. His 2005 self-titled debut sold 154,000 records and 2007's Exclusive moved just under 300,000 copies in the first week. The singer recently complained on Twitter about stores not stocking his album on shelves.
While currently serving a one-year prison sentence for probation violation, Gucci Mane wound up with the Number One rap album in the country. The State vs. Radric Davis -- which features "Spotlight" with Usher, and "Wasted" with Plies -- is currently at the top spot of Billboard's Top 200 list for rap, after moving 89,000 units in its first week. The album is at No. 10 on the charts overall.
Elsewhere, Snoop Dogg moved 59,000 copies of his 10th solo album, Malice 'N Wonderland, debuting at No. 21. Timbaland's cameo-filled Shock Value II cranked out 39,000 records, debuting at No. 32. And the Clipse's third LP, Til the Casket Drops, sold 31,000 copies, landing at No. 41. --Brad Wete and Linda Hobbs

Eric Honneffer and Archival Work by Jeffrey Harris The next step was to set up an interview with Eric Honneffer, the theater's preservationist since 1996. Mr. Honneffer is a graduate of BGSU with a Masters of Arts degree in History and Archival Administration. Even though he did not take a Film Studies road in education, he is highly qualified to work in archiving as he explains, "I learned document conservations though working at the CAC (Center for Archival Collections) Conservation Lab, participating in workshops and internships and continuously reading about many aspects of conservations methods." Mr. Honneffer actually performs a double duty for BGSU. As first mentioned by Mr. Holden, he works for the Gish Film Theater. Eric Honneffer said, "I handle the proper display of the documents and artifacts from the Gish Film Theater Collections. The exhibits are usually done twice a year to coincide with the Sunday matinees done in both March and October commemorating Dorothy and Lillian's birthdays." Mr. Honneffer then has his usual duties working at the CAC (located in Perrysburg). "My job description as document conservator at the Center for Archival Collections includes offering assistance to those departments within University Libraries wishing to display original documents or artifacts from their collections" Mr. Honneffer concludes. One thing I have learned from Mr. Honneffer is that his job is much more hands on than expected. It is true that he does a great amount of logging and label making for the exhibitions in the Gish Film Theater, but he also does a lot of impressive laboratory work. He explains, "I complete document conservation treatments on paper collections housed within the University Libraries. Such treatments include cleaning, deacidification (neutralizing acid in paper which causes it to deteriorate), mending, and encapsulation (archival alternative to lamination) … I take into consideration proper preservation methods that would best protect items from damage by light, environmental conditions and contact with display / housing equipment while they are on exhibition." Working in archival studies seems like a good way to work with film as well as other film related projects. For example, while I was visiting Mr. Honneffer at the CAC, one of his projects that he was in the middle of working on was keeping the rust off of the metal plate that adorns Lillian Gish's American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award, awarded in 1984. Mr. Honneffer concluded by saying, "I love history. I like creating, designing, and working with my hands. Document conservation and preservation activities are the perfect synthesis of all of these." For more information about the Center of Archival Collections

In "Love Connects Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Tell the group they will take turns trying to get the others to guess a word, from the Blake covenant, which they will select from the basket. Explain that they may use word clues, but must avoid all forms of the word and all words that include the word. For example, if the word is "peace," they cannot use "peaceful" or "peacemaker" in their clues.
Ask a volunteer to go first and draw a slip of paper from the basket, read the word on it silently, fold the paper up, and try to help the others guess the word. After the group guesses the word, select another child to choose a slip of paper and try to have the group guess their word.
Continue until all the words have been guessed or you have only a few minutes left. Lead reflection with these questions:
To accommodate participants who may have difficulty reading, establish a pattern with the very first word that the individual about to give the clues should approach you and show you the word written on the slip of paper. Confirm the word by whispering it in the child's ear and take the slip of paper; then they may begin giving clues to the group.

The Mind-Blowing 6-Step Creativity Program That Will Forever Alter Your Career
Would you like…
- to easily and consistently generate an avalanche of amazingly creative ideas that leave the audience in awe of your originality and leave your competition jealous?
- to turn creativity from a waiting game into an active pursuit?
- to be viewed as a one-of-a-kind comedian and separate yourself from the over 100,000 other comedians working today?
- to do something new and different? Not just be "another comedian" doing the normal "comedian patter" with the audience.
- to be absolutely unique as a performer?
- to be the comedian that's worth remembering long after the show?
Listen to the first module here |
Are You Suffering From…
- Lack of a fan base – We all know that the size of your fan base directly effects how much money you make it your career. Highly creative comedians draw monumental crowds TO THEM with little effort. Audiences always have (and always will) be drawn to the most creative comedians out there. It doesn't matter how naturally funny you are, if you're not HIGHLY creative, you'll never see your fan base explode.
- Lack of understanding – Most comedians (and people in general) don't understand that creativity isn't fixed trait. Science has shown creativity is a learnable skill. The comedians that combine their comedy knowledge with intense levels of creative thinking are the comedians that have stood the test of time.
- Lack of Material – Every comedian would love to have even more dynamite material. Comedians that master these creative skills are the ones that consistently produce a new HBO special or DVD every year. Meanwhile, comedians who lack these creative skills are bogged down, relying on the same material the audience has heard before.
- Lack of focus - being unsure how to create a breakthrough idea pulls you in many different directions at once. Instead of having one intense focus that pulls you towards achieving your goal you end up unsure of even the smallest actions.
I know firsthand because I have suffered them all myself.
The truth is…
The level of thinking that's got you to where you are
isn't going to get you to the next level!
Getting to the next level in comedy doesn't require HARDER thinking… it requires a NEW WAY of thinking. Creativity offers every single comedian a way of breaking out of the competition through differentiating their performances.
If you want to take your career to the next level you need to combine your comedy knowledge with new, higher levels of creativity.
How creative you are will make or break your career! You can leave it up to chance or you can take action by using these scientifically proven, breakthrough skills. Comedians that ignore the importance of creativity will be destined to continually struggle to build a large fan base.
The fact is,
You're only using a TINY FRACTION of your creative potential!
Here's the problem…
Most people believe that learning the mechanics of comedy is the end of learning how to be creative… But this is just the beginning!
Nobody wants to spend their day writing material only to end up with nothing to show for it. You spend hours in frustration as each idea fails one by one. You're not sure what to write, and even if you did you'd be unable to get into a creative flow where ideas come pouring our of you.
While nobody wants to find themselves unable to get past writer's block, there's a scenario that's much more common and much worse…
What if you spend years writing material only to realize that your lack of originality as a performer is costing you fans, gigs, and a ton of money? Even after years of hard work you'd be forced to toss out all your material and start from scratch. This is exactly what Richard Pryor and George Carlin went through before reinventing their careers. What Pryor, Carlin, and many others realized was that…
More of the same never adds up to the best
While you can always increase the quality of your material by simply rewriting, you can't change how original it is. If you want highly original material that the audience is going to remember long after the show, you have to get started now!
If you're trying to become the best comedian you can possibly be, you can't do it by simply attacking your comedy career the same as everyone else. There's A LOT of talented and motivated comedians out there. That's not what separates them from the comedy greats.
What separates them is only one factor, how creative they are. The fact is, it doesn't matter how naturally talented you are or how hard you work, without drawing on high levels of creativity, massive success in stand-up comedy is impossible. This is why every single one of the top 100 comedians of all time (ranked by Comedy Central) was extremely different from all the others on the list. Before they could create massive success for themselves they had to be DIFFERENT from every other comedian. It was only after they applied a high level of creativity that audience members began to take notice.
The only way to separate yourself from the crowd is to use high levels of creative thinking. If you want to break out of your career then creativity is essential.
Once you learn these powerful techniques …
- You'll easily and consistently generate highly creative ideas that leave the audience remembering YOUR set at the end of the night.
- Your potential as a comedian is going to increase exponentially. In fact, being able to make the jump from a few paid gigs here and there to massive success in comedy is more often a result of a lack of creativity than any other factor.
- You will have complete focus. You'll know exactly how creativity works and be able to zero in on the exact areas that will give you the most benefit in the least amount of time. You'll no longer be pulled in many different directions while you're writing.
- You will no longer worry if you're creative enough to have a career in stand-up comedy.
- You will have a deep understanding of what creativity REALLY is, how it works, and how to draw upon massive levels of creativity to generate Earth-shattering ideas that separate you from your competition.
- You will gain the motivation, momentum and confidence that you need to be highly creative and achieve success in comedy.
On the flip-side, if you do not take the right action before it's too late, you will likely end up with:
- More wasted time and energy
- More frustration
- More doubt
- No direction
- And a very high chance of failure
Let me ask you this…
Isn't it true that 90% of your best material came from only a small fraction of time spent "in the zone?"
What if you could take that creative flow and keep it going throughout your entire career? Where would your career be if you could consistently generate quality material for 6 months? A year? 10 years? or even 20 years in the future?!
There's finally away of taking control of your future success…
Introducing Creativity For Comedians
The first ever creativity program designed specifically to enhance comedians' creativity.
Now you can…
- Separate yourself from every other comedian working today
- Generate TONS of high quality material effortlessly and consistently
- Create material that leaves the audience thinking "I've never seen anything like that"
- Create raving fans that want to go out and tell their friends about YOU!
- Make far more money
This is the FIRST and ONLY program designed specifically help comedians generate more original material
Audience members don't remember a comedian because they were a little funnier than the 20 other comedians that saw that night. They remember comedians that are highly original. Original is different.
Different is Worth Talking About
This is an in-depth program. It consists of over 6 hours of action-packed mp3's that you can load up onto their computer, iPod, or any other mobile device and listen in the car, driving to shows… whenever. Throughout this program you'll learn exactly how the greatest comedians of all time, comedians like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Steve Martin, and Rodney Dangerfield have used these exact same strategies to generate highly original ideas that separated them from their peers.
Here's a brief synopsis of the program…
Module #1
- Proof that the greatest comedians of all time had their breakthroughs only after using higher levels of creativity.
- Learn how creativity has benefited the greatest comedians of all time, and how any comedian can use the same principles of creativity to create a career exactly the way they want it.
- Why success in comedy requires high levels of creativity

So Who Am I?
My name is Jared Volle.I've been an improvisational comedian since 6th grade and a stand-up comedian since 2005.
Like any passionate comedian, I studied stand-up comedy inside and out. I read books, took seminars, took comedy classes… you name it. I first started studying creativity several years into my comedy career.
I didn't learn creativity to "become" creative… I learned it to increase the creativity that I already had.
- In 2010, I began teaching creativity and innovation at Colorado Free University. In my class I've taught these same principles to a wide variety of students.
- In 2012, I began teaching creativity seminars online.
- In 2012, I began working one-on-one with businesses to increase the creativity of their employees
- I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Creativity & Innovation at Drexel University, the top creativity program in the United States.
Having an extensive background in both comedy and creativity makes me uniquely qualified to help comedians increase their creativity to separate themselves from their competition. My passion is the intersection of science and art. I never teach anything that is not supported by researches world wide. All the tools and strategies I teach have been used by countless creative people with massive success.
The Creativity For Comedians Audio Program will allow you to…
- Earn money – Being highly creative in your stand-up comedy means that you'll differentiate yourself to the audience. You won't just be "another comedian." Your fan base is going to grow exponentially as a result of your increased creativity and differentiation. As your fan base grows, so does the number of gigs you book and the fees you can charge for each gig.
- Generate more original ideas – Consistently create ideas that separate you from your competition. The Faster & Funnier Creativity For Comedians Program consists of ACTIONABLE strategies that you can apply at any point to generate novel ideas.
- Generate a higher NUMBER of ideas. We're not just talking a few more. You'll be able to repeat this creative process over and over again to generate original idea after original idea. No more "not knowing what to write." What would your career look like if you could CONSISTENTLY generate both a large QUANTITY and high QUALITY ideas throughout your entire career?
- Be more creative OUTSIDE comedy – While the course is specifically designed for comedians, everything in the program can be used to increase your creativity in any area of your life, whether you want to be more creative in art, business, or science. This program won't just increase your creativity in comedy… it'll change your creativity in every area of your life.
Why is the program completely different from learning stand-up comedy?
All creativity is made up of 3 separate areas.
- "Domain-specific knowledge"
- "Creativity-relevant skills"
- "Task motivation"
If you've ever taken a stand-up comedy class, read a "how to write stand-up comedy" book, or taken a comedy seminar, you learned tons of information about what it takes to be a comedian. You've learned how to write setups and punchlines, how to work the mic, how to perform, etc. This is all knowledge that is very specific to the stand-up comedy industry. While this information is absolutely vital to your comedy success, it's only ONE piece of the puzzle.
The Creativity For Comedians Program focuses SOLELY on the second area of creativity, creativity-relevant skills. These skills make up the general thought processes that individuals in all fields go through in order to generate creative ideas.
There is absolutely NO overlap between what comedy teachers teach and this program. This program is a new, complementary set of skills for your comedy career.
What Others Have Said About Past Creativity Classes
Here are some of the actual reviews I've gotten teaching these strategies at Colorado Free University…
Jared's passion for the subject of creativity is exceptional. He is, to his core, a creative person. That creativity certainly shows up in his comedy work, but it has shone through even stronger in his work on the topic of creativity. When Jared first proposed his class on creativity he sent me a very extensive outline. I was impressed with the thoroughness and depth of his research as well the connections he was making between disparate areas of study. His ability to synthesize a wide variety of research and see patterns and extract common themes was extraordinary.
- Helen Hand, President of Colorado Free University
I really enjoyed this class, and realized I could look at problem-solving and thinking creatively quite differently than in the past. Realizing that I am already naturally creative, and that many of the most seemingly innovative inventions were ideas that were existing already, just applied from another genre. Jared's teaching was clear and informative, as well as highly entertaining- he really knows his stuff.
- Pamela Grace, CFU student
This was the best and most important class I have taken. Learning how to create is the single most important topic one can take to aid in living one's life. Jared's presentation is highly organized and comprehensive. I recommend this class to anyone wanting to leave the 'box' of being a victim and start participating in one's own life.
- John Marquard, CFU student
"Jared is an excellent teacher. His analytical skills balance his creativity very well."
"I liked his style and how he put people at ease and worked through their fears. I learned to let go."
"Very animated, exciting presenter."
"Absolutely outstanding."

- Has nothing to do with building more stand-up comedy knowledge.

It'll be 100% new information that helps you take the information you already learned and combine it with new, higher levels of creativity.
- Works for every single type of comedian at every single level of the industry. You won't outgrow this class. It'll be just as applicable to you today as 10 or 20 years in the future.

- Is solely about taking your current knowledge of stand-up and increasing your creativity
P.S. – This program is a completely new, complementary set of skills for your comedy career. There's no overlap with the classes and books you've read.

Mar 7, 2013 4:28 PM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Demi Moore is seeking spousal support from estranged husband Ashton Kutcher.
The actress states in a court filing Thursday that she also wants the "Two and a Half Men" star to pay her attorney's fees in the divorce proceedings.
Kutcher filed for divorce in December, more than a year after Moore announced the marriage was over. Kutcher didn't take a position in his filings on whether he should pay Moore any spousal support.
The couple was married in September 2005, and they have no children together.
Kutcher didn't specify when the couple separated, but Moore listed Nov. 17, 2011, as the breakup date.
Moore publicly announced the couple's breakup that day, but until Thursday had not filed any divorce paperwork.

When CDC is working on an outbreak of foodborne illness, it's our goal to pinpoint the source as quickly and precisely as possible so we can prevent any further threat to public health. For several years now, the PulseNet Methods Development and Reference Unit (PMDRU) has been developing and validating new methods to complement pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), which is currently the standard typing method used in outbreak detection. The method that we have found most helpful in detecting subtle differences between closely related bacterial strains is a technique known as multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA).
Since MLVA is still a fairly new technique, most state health laboratories don't yet have the capability to perform it themselves. They have to send their samples to CDC for testing. As a microbiologist in the PMDRU, my job is to perform the hands-on testing on the E. coli and Salmonella strains we receive from the states.
The recent outbreak of E. coli 0157:H7 related to eating raw cookie dough is a great example of how we've put this new technique to work. A week after our PulseNet colleagues identified the potential cluster of illness, we requested samples from around the country that fit the PFGE pattern we were investigating. Within two weeks it was clear that most of the state samples shared the same MLVA pattern as well.
Over the next few weeks, samples continued to come in and MLVA was run as soon as they arrived. Meanwhile, the epidemiologists at the local state health departments and CDC were busy conducting interviews on the case patients. Interestingly, a very unusual vehicle, raw cookie dough, emerged as a likely source for this outbreak.
On June 29, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified us that they had been able to isolate E. coli O157:H7 from cookie dough and the request was made to send the strain to the CDC for immediate testing. We tested the isolate immediately upon arrival, only to discover that the MLVA pattern was quite different from the main outbreak pattern.
Even though we haven't found our "smoking dough" yet, the information gathered by interviewing patients strongly supports the cookie dough theory. Unlike other older DNA fingerprinting techniques, MLVA helped us see more accurately which patients shared a common source for their illness.

Living in: Vancouver
Another popular getaway is Okanagan Valley, about a four-hour drive east with a completely different microclimate - more like Napa or Willamette valleys. Vineyards and bed-and-breakfasts cling to the shores of Okanagan Lake, and a wine festival is held every autumn.
Seattle is only a two and a half hour drive south and San Francisco is a two-hour flight away. Many routes to and from Asia come through Vancouver's light-filled, modern international airport.
Practical info
Vancouver has seen an influx of foreign investment in recent years, specifically from Asia, particularly mainland China, and the Middle East. The cash flow has buoyed prices and kept the market strong. "Internationals are coming to park money here," explained Campbell. "It is politically stable, as is the Canadian dollar, and they see it as a safe place." Additionally, new mass transit projects, like the one that will link Port Moody and Coquitlam to Vancouver via the Evergreen Line (expected to be complete by 2015), are giving the market a boost. "The federal government is building transit infrastructure and that has really helped the real estate market," said Campbell.
There is high demand for condos and row houses, and new releases of condo projects still cause a frenzy. "The hot property right now are condos," said Campbell. "Especially in the area where the Expo and the Olympic Village are." There are two price brackets with the most activity currently: $500,000 to $700,000 and over $1 million (all Canadian dollars). Vacancy is low in the rental market, and there are strong rent controls, so the rents do not increase rapidly. However, once a tenant moves out, the unit goes back to market rate and that has gone up 10%in the last two years.
Vancouver is surrounded by the ocean, mountains and agricultural land, and because of these geographic restrictions around the city, the land is getting used up quickly. However, that same prospect is what draws so many people. "The real benefit to living here is the geography," said Desaulniers. "Living on the ocean surrounded by snow-capped mountains - it's just really beautiful."

text: Lindsay Lohan is getting her act together. She's trying to dodge more jail time by demonstrating how responsible and upstanding she is. That includes kicking her nicotine habit cold turkey and getting in shape. Let's hope this plan works for LiLo. I smoked briefly in college, but not more than a few ciggies a day, so quitting wasn't a struggle for me. I know for long-time smokers, it can be incredibly tough. But it's such a wonderful feeling when your hair and clothes stop smelling like an ashtray, not to mention the health benefits that come with freeing your lungs. After the jump, some other celebs who quit lighting up. [TMZ]

Elvis McKenzie, a Flushing resident, was charged with attempted rape for allegedly attacking a woman in the elevator of her Astoria apartment building on June 2.
According to the charges and the NYPD, McKenzie followed a 53-year-old woman into an elevator in her building at approximately 11:30 a.m.
When the elevator doors closed, he allegedly proceeded to put his hand in his pants and touch his genitals while looking at the victim.
Soon after, he began choking the victim and punched her numerous times in the face, causing swelling and bruising.
McKenzie then exposed himself and attempted to pull down her pants when the elevator doors opened on a floor and the victim managed to use her leg to prevent the door from closing and began screaming for help.
He then fled the scene.
"The defendant is accused of following his victim like a predator and waiting until she was isolated and trapped inside an elevator before attempting to sexually assault her," District Attorney Richard Brown said in a written statement. "The fact that the alleged attack took place in her own residence must have only added to the victim's frightening ordeal.
"The offenses that the defendant is charged with committing are crimes of violence that pose a serious threat to public safety, and, as such, warrant punishment by a lengthy prison term."
McKenzie, 27, was arraigned on Monday and was charged with first-degree attempted rape, second-degree assault and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation.
He was ordered by Judge Michelle Armstrong to be held on $200,000 bail and faces up to 15 years in prison, if convicted.
He is scheduled to return to court on June 23.
The victim's name was withheld by Brown's office to protect her identity.
According to the police report, she suffered no major physical injuries.

A political leader of the twentieth century. Agnew was elected vice president in 1968 and 1972 as the running mate of Richard Nixon. He attacked opponents of the involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War, calling them "an effete corps of impudent snobs" and "nattering nabobs of negativism." In 1973 Agnew pleaded nolo contendere to charges of income tax evasion and resigned from office.

Prof. Patricia Reiff has been involved in space plasma physics research for forty years, with interests in magnetospheric convection, plasma particle acceleration mechanisms, and solar wind control of the magnetosphere and ionosphere. She received her Ph.D. analyzing Apollo plasma data. She was a Co-I on the Dynamics Explorer, Polar, IMAGE, and Cluster Missions. She is a Co-I and EPO lead for the MMS (Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission. She has served as Director for public education projects for over 25 years. Her "Space Update" software has been used by over a million visitors at over 15 museums, and together with "Earth Update" and "Space Weather" has been distributed to 250,000 educators and learners. These CD's (now DVD's) received the highest rating from NASA review panels. Her project "Immersive Earth", in cooperation with the Houston Museum of Natural Science, creates full-dome digital planetarium shows teaching Earth science, and has created a portable planetarium system "Discovery Dome" to teach Earth and Space Science through immersive digital theater, which is now in over 200 sites in 33 countries and 33 states (www.tinyurl.com/discdome). These projects have spun off two companies, Space Update, Inc. (www.spaceupdate.com) and MTPE, dba "EPlanetarium" (www.eplanetarium.com) to distribute the materials and portable planetarium systems. She has over 125 refereed publications, and has served as Editor or Associate Editor for EOS, Journal of Geophysical Research, Reviews of Geophysics. She has served on advisory committees for the National Science Foundation, NASA, the National Academy of Science, the AAU, Goddard Space Flight Center, UCAR, and Los Alamos, and on the NASA E/PO MOWG. She has served as Chair of the Council of Institutions of the Universities Space Research Association and serves on the SPA Public Education Committee for the AGU. She is a member of Sigma PI Sigma, Pi Kappa Pi and Sigma Xi and has numerous awards, including being named as one of Houston's "Women on the Move" in 1990. She was elected as a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 1997, and received the "Athelstan Spilhaus Award" for public education in 2009 and the "SPARC" Award in 2013. She was named the "Birkeland Distinguished Speaker" by the University of Oslo in 2012. She received the "Aerospace Educator Award" from Women in Aerospace in 1999 and the Service Award from NARS in 2004. She received NASA "Group Achievement" awards for the IMAGE, GGS and Cluster missions, and was an organizer for the World Space Congress in 2002. She has received Certificates of Appreciation for the EPO efforts from NASA and the Sloan Foundation and is listed in American Men and Women of Science and Who's Who. In addition to training twelve PhD's, she created a "Master of Science Teaching" degree, with 25 teacher alumni as of 2013. She frequently appears as a science commentator on local and national television and radio, and leads solar eclipse tours.
