I'm planning to use QR codes as part of my world-smashing campaign that will see sales of my book, Naughty By Nature (slated for a release sometime before the world ends), sky rocket beyond the dark side of the moon and allow me to sip cocktails on a Caribbean beach watch Watford every week.
So I pay a little attention to how they're being used at the moment. And with mobile phones quite popular these days and rumoured to be even more central to our lives in the future – apparently, one day, we'll be able to make calls with them too – the use of 'quick response' codes will "connect the physical and digital worlds". So they say.
So Blur need to be made aware of all this. Their marketing suits clearly see QR codes as a fashion, a fad, a f****** bewildering bafflement (probably). The only quick response they elicited from me included a naughty word muttered under my breath.
What I experienced (Oct 9th 2012)
- I scanned Blur 21 QR code to see where it takes me
- There was no copy near the ad telling me why I ought to take the time and trouble to scan
- It took me to a You Tube video
- I watched it expecting to see a call to action / url to buy
- Nothing. Only a hashtag.
- So they want me to go to twitter and search a hashtag having already pulled out my mobile, scanned a code, watched a video, decided I wanted to buy the product without either a url to buy or a call to action in sight
- I go to Twitter on my pc (mobile's too fiddly for all this by now) and search the hashtag
- It reveals nothing and takes me nowhere
- I go back to the advert on the back of the mag
- I see a url: blur.co.uk/blur21
- I go back to the pc and type in the url
- I have to look for a call to action.
- I find it in the bottom right hand corner
- I click it…but have to scroll down to see the options
- It gives me four buying options
- I click the cheapest
- The link is broken
- I click on the Amazon link (price displayed: £195)
- I land on the Amazon page
- Price displayed: £154.73 and free delivery
And here's…
What I should have experienced:
- I see the QR code, which has some copy near it telling me what to expect when I scan it (ie why it's worth my while)
- I scan the Blur 21 QR code knowing what to expect (a video)
- I watch the video and see a short url to buy with a clear call to action ('Buy it here')
- I go to the url and it takes me to straight to Amazon or wherever
Conclusion: the music industry is in even more of a state than I thought.

You could be anywhere, from the starched-linen-and-crystal splendor of the clubhouse at Santa Anita to the wind-whipped, dung-stained desolation of Arapahoe Park. Somebody is going to remove his battle-weary face from the folds of the Daily Racing Form long enough to regale you with how he picked $64 winner Charismatic in the 1999 Kentucky Derby. Or the time he drove all night to Pimlico and caught Manila at 14-1 on the turf.
The details may vary, but the essence of the story remains the same. It's always about courage, insight and dumb luck -- the horseplayer's Book of Virtues, the things that keep him going when his third wife has packed up and left, the old Buick cries out for a valve job and not even his best pal will loan him ten bucks. Told in the cemetery of hope, the horseplayer's hero story is always about belief.
Enter Funny Cide, running his eyeballs out.
Racetrack fantasy is one of the world's richest mines. But the craziest degenerate who ever blew the rent money on exactas, then sold his wristwatch and hearing aid in the parking lot, couldn't have dreamed this story up.
On Saturday afternoon at New York's Belmont Park, yet another three-year-old who has won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness will try to break the long Triple Crown jinx by showing his tail to the field in the Belmont Stakes. In itself, that's not news. Since Affirmed won the last Triple Crown 25 years ago, no fewer than eight horses have found themselves on the brink. All eight have failed in the grueling, mile-and-a-half Belmont, including War Emblem last year. But Funny Cide's story is different. Man, is it different.
For one thing, Funny Cide is a New York-bred. New York is famous for hot pastrami, the Yankees and a few hundred other things. But fast racehorses are not among them. No New York-bred had ever won the Derby until Funny Cide held off favored Empire Maker at the wire on May 3 by nearly two lengths. For another thing, the big red three-year-old is a gelding, which means that he has been relieved of his testicles and is thus forever lost to the lucrative business of thoroughbred breeding. Said another way, he has guts on the track but no balls in the barn. The last time a gelding won the Derby was 1929.
Purchased at the Saratoga yearling sale of 2001 for just $22,000 -- what Ogden Phipps used to spend on lunch for his friends -- the modestly bred Funny Cide is the property of ten high school buddies from tiny Sacketts Harbor, New York -- a village on the shore of Lake Ontario so far north of Syracuse that it helps to speak French if you want fries at the local diner. At the Derby and the Preakness (which Funny Cide won by an eye-popping 9 3/4 lengths), the blue-collar owners and their supporters arrived not by limousine, but by rented yellow school bus. Look for several yellow buses at Belmont Park come Saturday: The horse has won almost $2 million so far, but the owners don't want to queer their luck when it comes to maybe scoring the $5 million bonus Visa promises to pay a Triple Crown winner.
There's more. Funny Cide's trainer is not glib, silver-haired Bob Baffert or cool, corporate D. Wayne Lukas, but a sour old veteran named Barclay Tagg, a third-drawer type who raced horses at Pimlico for more than thirty years before getting this one into the Preakness. Amid the Triple Crown frenzy, Tagg's been about as expressive as Amarillo Slim with a full house and twice as intriguing for it.
Still more. The jockey is Jose Santos, a grizzled Chilean master -- he's especially brilliant on grass -- who topped all riders in purse earnings from 1986 to 1989. But his career took a sudden fall in 1992, when he suffered multiple fractures in a horrific spill at -- where else? -- Belmont Park. For years a mentor to younger jockeys like Edgar Prado, Shane Sellers and Cornelio Velasquez, Santos is one of the most revered race riders in the game. So the jockey community was outraged when the Funny Cide fantasy took its most bizarre turn in the wake of his Derby win.
After looking at some suspicious race photographs, a Miami Herald reporter charged Santos with illegally using an electric prod (known in the barns as a gator, a battery or a machine) on his mount to make him run faster. An inquiry at Churchill Downs cleared Santos of any wrongdoing two days after the race, but the sting of accusation stayed with him. As he annihilated the Preakness field on May 17 by the second-largest margin in the 128-year history of the race, Santos threw his powerful right hand open to the racing world's cameras -- in rebuke as well as triumph.

Thank you Brad, great job, the book is out and as the business grows, I'm coming back to you for my additional needs!
My best-thank you for helping to make my online presence such a success!
Searching for the right Partner to bring our inbound internet marketing goals to life was not an easy task. After interviewing local consultants, employee candidates, and internet marketing companies, we landed on WebiMax. We felt their culture was similar to ours, committed to customers and delivering the best products and services. In addition, the value to cost and full services was to compelling to resist, the numbers and benefits outweighed other options.
In short time, we were delighted that we had selected WebiMax. Our goals were soon turned into a working strategy that started delivering results across the board. We went from 0 to 100 mph in short time, there's just no way could we have accelerated our internet presence in this amount of time using internal resources or local consultants.
I would highly recommend WebiMax to my business colleagues and other businesses interested in improving their overall business performance. .
We switched to WebiMax for our SEO need close to one year ago. I appreciate the fact that we can 'change gears' at any time to benefit our needs within our monthly allowance. Our project managers are always attentive and on tune with our business and needs, they offer a client center so that you always have access to the tasks at hand and they are always thinking outside the box to try new things. Thanks WebiMax!
Working with WebiMax on our site design was an excellent process. They were extremely responsive and quick to implement any change we desired. We're very happy with our new site and are excited to share it with our clients and prospects!
For years, we struggled trying SEO on our own and we employed the wrong SEO companies. It did not work. I was referred to WebiMax so, as a "hail mary," I called. Reeling from bad experiences, we had to be certain. Accordingly, we insisted on meeting at their office in South Jersey. They quickly agreed. I toured their headquarters, met key staff, and we sat down and sketched out our plan. Without a doubt, WebiMax performed and delivered for America's Tax Office exactly as promised. Now, americastaxoffice.com, is consistently on the first page of Google for the key words most important to us.
America's Tax Office is where it is today because of WebiMax.
We at A&P want to thank you and your team at WebiMax for a wonderful web build experience with A&P Auto Parts Inc. new design. It has been a pleasure on my end as an owner with limited time to give my ideas and have your team digest our plan and perform as promised. In the early days of our discussions we could feel the professionalism your company has and that in its self is a breath of fresh air over our old designer.
I want to extend my gratitude to you and your team for doing such a wonderful job on our website. Ryan, you were as professional as they come, punctual, and a pleasure to deal with. At the end of the day, I had high expectations and you delivered. I hope going forward, your employers recognize your value and the impression you made on us. If needed, I would be more than happy to express my feedback either online or as a reference to potential clients that need a first hand testimonial. Feel free to use the site as a reference point if needed.
I look forward to continuing the pursuit of our goals with the help of WebiMax
From my initial introduction and proposal that was completed by our sales rep and the ongoing project management, the outcome thus far has been incredible. The team have extensive knowledge and expertise which in turn continue to create positive results. This was not such an easy task as our account had many issues due to the fact we were with other SEO companies that were not as SEO savvy as WebiMax.
I have only been working with Webimax for a few months but I would recommend them without hesitation. Their client support has been outstanding and they have exceeded all of my expectations. I have worked with many SEO companies but none of them compare to Webimax.
Having many years of SEO experience ourselves, we know first-hand the vast effort and technical knowledge it takes to have both a successful SEO strategy and an effective implementation of it. As our business continues to grow year-after-year, keeping our SEO strategy on-track became very time-consuming and reduced our ability to focus on our core business.
When it comes to creating professional, attractive, and effective websites, there is no company that can surpass Webimax. I couldn't be happier with my choice of using Webimax for our new website. Their team is easy to work with, responds quickly to our needs, and has helped us make a terrific website in a short amount of time. We could not have picked a better team of professionals to represent us. They are and will remain our "web guys" in the future to come.
Wanted to drop you a line and thank you and your team for our new Web page. We here at Worldwide Moving Systems couldn't be happier. The site not only looks awesome and works seamlessly, it's generating results before we even started SEO for the site. We had a 3rd party audit the site and ad campaigns for SEO/SEM effectiveness and found little they could find negative and a lot they were impressed with. This coming from a competitor says volumes.
Words cannot express our thanks to WebiMax, not only as one of our Platinum Sponsors but also to Mike Phillips and the team in helping Every Breath Counts Foundation for Lung Cancer to greatly improve the look of our digital footprint on the internet. Our previous website was lacking organization, was not user friendly and had no pop or pizazz.
In just a few months of working with WebiMax my company has seen dramatic improvements to our Google rankings and overall site traffic. The service we've received from their team has consistently been above and beyond our expectations.
Our company was looking to build a new site that catered specifically to a certain group of our clients. We originally began working with a competitor of Webimax on this project and really were getting nowhere. We had provided all of the verbiage and communicated how we wanted the site to look and had been waiting weeks to get nowhere.
After a great deal of research, we chose Webimax to design our website and begin our SEO campaign. Dave Mercer and his team walked us through every detail and exceeded our expectations when we moved our launch deadline up significantly. The writers rose to the challenge of delivering content on an uncommon subject and we could not be more pleased with the final product.

Hi all-
I transplanted this flapjack plant into the gritty mix about a month and a half ago. I also transplanted a couple of jade trees at the same time, which are doing great in the gritty mix. The flapjack, however, isn't looking so hot. I water it once a week and it's in a moderately sunny window, but it won't perk up. Looks wilty and droopy in general. I pruned it to remove some of the unhappy leaves, but now the remainder of the leaves are going the same route. Any ideas about how to make this plant happy? I've always treated flapjack plants the same as jades, but this time the flapjack seems to need something extra. How often should I be fertilizing in the gritty mix with succulents? I'm attaching pics for anyone who can offer advice. Thanks a lot! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Those succulents are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing pics. I used a grit called Gran-I-Grit which I thoroughly washed before hand to avoid tiny residual particles. No supplements. Definitely no chance of herbicide drift since it's located inside a home which is inside a city. I have not been fertilizing as often as you describe. So I will try to slowly augment the food I give it to see it that helps. I was worried it wasn't getting enough sun, but my other succulents seem to be doing fine in the same window. Thanks for the help! |

This one is going to need more light. Outdoor shade while transitioning, and then into light as strong as that shown in Al's picture.

text: | Rough weekendJuly 21, 2008 - Kathie EvanoffFriday morning rang in beautiful, sunny and warm. I immediately got up and had a good breakfast of tea, eggs, toast and fruit. After getting dressed, I went outside and started taking photos for the Wednesday garden feature. But then while uploading the photos to my computer, I was hit with a wave of nausea that pretty much did me in for the rest of the day. I don't know if it was the breakfast (I think I was trying to make up for my lack of fruit Thursday so I had about a cup and a half of mixed berries, sliced peaches and kiwi), or if I caught some sort of bug that didn't hit me until I tried to put food on top of it. My husband wasn't feeling well the day before and I later found out that a few of my co-workers had a bout of stomach distress as well, so perhaps it was a bug. Regardless, there wasn't much to report in the way of food for the rest of Friday as I reported off sick and stayed in bed most of the day. I felt better by the weekend, which was busy, doing errands and getting some much needed shopping accomplishe. I won't try to catch up with photos, but I did manage to stay within a reasonable calorie count throughout those two days. Monday sees me back at my desk, getting caught up from missing a day last week. It is always difficult to get caught up when a day is missed, but it somehow manages to get done. My husband was up bright and early this morning to finish a woodworking project that has been keeping him busy. Thankfully, it is starting to reach its conclusion. So while he was making his coffee, he also made us both a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast. Since he did the cooking, I had the time to put together a small lunch of a PB&J on whole wheat bread with a fresh peach and some baked Goldfish crackers. I washed it all down with a Stewart's diet root beer, something I haven't had in a really long time so it was a treat. I hope to hit the gym after work to make up for my listless, in spite of being busy, weekend. Stop back later for an update. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article.

No Exit Life, Consciousness, Existence Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
VALET: That's good! So you haven't yet got over your – what-do-you-call-it? – sense of human dignity? Excuse my smiling. (20)
The valet identifies Garcin's concern for the physical – a bathroom and a toothbrush – as lingering human dignity. But this idea manifests itself in the emotional as well. Garcin's concern for his reputation back on earth is another example of the concern for "human dignity."
VALET: Well, yes, that's so – in a way. But you can never be sure about that bell. There's something wrong with the wiring, and it doesn't always work.
GARCIN: It's working all right.
VALET: [Looking surprised] So it is. (55-57)
More dark humor, this time in the stage directions. The valet's surprise is much like Garcin's later reaction when the door swings open at the end of the play.
INEZ: Ah, that's the way it works, is it? Torture by separation. (67)
If only! Like Garcin earlier, Inez fears the wrong punishment.

- Sex: Male
Meaty's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi! My name is Meaty.. but don't be fooled, I am just a little boy for a full grown English Bulldog. I am 3 years young and have so much love to give. I am very friendly with all people and get a long fine with other dogs and cats. Although I prefer the lady dogs ;). I love to go on walks but am happy to cuddle on the couch with you all day long. I do have some allergies, so I will need to be on a high quality food. I need my wrinkles and ears cleaned regularly. Other than that I am pretty easy and eager to please! Could you be my forever home? My adoption donation will be $575. No emails will be returned until an application is filled out. Please visit www.LoveABullRescue.com for more information about the adoption process.
Other Pets at Love-A-Bull Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Meaty, a Gilbert English Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a English Bulldog for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a English Bulldog dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even English Bulldog breeders who help with English Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hottest, Latest Bollywood Actors & Actress Gossip and News
Marriage may or may not fit in the next five years, but Vidya is not going to give up acting for anyone or anything and she also thinks that life has been good ever since she has turned 30.
She says, "Acting is a part of who I am. I don't think I will ever give it up. But having said that, if it does come naturally to me and I do feel like taking it slow at some point of time, then maybe I will. But this will never be a pre-condition to get into any relationship."
Vidya Balan will be seen soon in her latest movie No One Killed Jessica, which is based on the Jessica Lal murder case. Vidya is happy about the fact the women are not giving up their careers for their personal lives anymore.
"I think women should work at every age. It is fantastic! And this is happening in every profession. I recently met a girl at a store who got back to work just after two months of delivering a child, this is known as dedication. But yes, in our profession in the earlier days, the instant you get married, you are ceased to be an object of desire, which is why most of the actresses have retired. Today, no longer! I guess this is all got to do with the fact and attitude that today if someone is with someone, it will never stop you from desiring them!"
This critically acclaimed actress, who has featured in movies like Parineeta, Guru, Ishqiya and Paa is rolling high these days. Neither her performances nor her dressing sense are being criticized. However, she admits that she has turned careful and fussy.
"I guess over a period of time, I think rightfully so, I have got the courage to do only what I want to do. I will never get pressurized to do anything, which I don't want to do, even if it is a right film, or a kind of film that one should be doing. It has to excite me and challenge me. It can be a super simple film, it can be a completely mad role or it can be intense….it can be anything across this wide spectrum….but I have to feel excited," she said.
This has also been her mantra when it comes to dressing up, especially since the time she become the favorite child of our fashion police. Now one will see her wearing only designer wears by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. She has got this new elegant look, which steals the focus wherever she goes.
"I will always stick to what makes me feel good. If I feel that I am looking good in something, then I will surely wear it. And if it is not, then even if it is the most beautiful crafted creation, I will not. This is the only criteria I use when I am wearing anything these days and I think this has worked for me," says Vidya.
Let's see how does Vidya manage to look in her new de-glam role in No One Killed Jessica.
The famous Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif says she got her inspiration from pop icon Shakira for her sizzling item song 'Shiela Ki Jawani' for her latest film Tees Maar Khan.
The reporters pestered with questions about her resemblance to pop icon Shakira, and she politely said that she can only dream of comparisons. She says, "I can only dream of such comparisons. To be very frank, I drew inspiration from her. If my dance in the song 'Shiela Ki Jawani' reminds the viewers of Shakira, it is a huge reward for me." She is currently in Kolkatta promoting Tees Maar Khan.
She is praising director Farah Khan and gave her all the credit for the huge success of this song. She added, "We have worked hard for this song. But the credit goes to Farah Khan and her conceptualization of the song. She is a brilliant choreographer."
Tees Maar Khan is directed by Farah Khan and is set to release on December 24. It is already hitting the headlines for this new item song 'Shiela Ki Jawani', which features Katrina.
When asked Katrina about her role in the movie she says, "My role is of an aspiring actress, she is not very aggressive as it looked in the song. She is very naïve and sweet. She is the girlfriend of Akshay in this film. She gets herself into trouble because of her own stupidity. Its' a fun character."
This complete movie revolves around Tarbez Mirza Khan, who is a criminal played by Akshay Kumar. His girlfriend Anya played by Katrina gets a new job of robbing antiques worth Rs. 500 crore from a huge guarded environment. This film is an action comedy.
The famous duo of Love Aaj Kal, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone will work together in Illuminati Films. Illuminati Films is Saif's home production with partner Dinesh Vijan.
Imtiaz Ali who had directed Love Aaj Kal has scripted this untitled movie. The movie will go on floors in April 2011 and will be shot in New Delhi, Spain and London. When asked Saif about this he says, "I was waiting for a script as contemporary and relevant as this is to come my way and I agree that this has been worth the wait. The story is funny, romantic and it has a perfect balance of entertainment and drama. I wanted to go for a love story with a modern treatment and sensibility."
When asked about working with Deepika Padukone, the actor says, "I am looking forward for my pairing with her again. She has a great role and I think she has grown a lot post Love Aaj Kal and she will handle this role very well."
Imtiaz'a earlier movies Socha Na Tha, Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal all have delved on relationships about the various choices in life. This movie will be in the same space as Love Aaj Kal left off and the roller coasters from there.
Deepika considers Saif to be her favorite co-star and she has never played such a character before. She says, "To find a script like this, which is quirky and edgy, had an instant connect with me. This movie will also mark the reunion of the LAK team, with Saif, Dinesh and me. I am very excited to be working with Saif again, and I hope we can recreate the magic of LAK once again."
Dinesh says, "At Illuminati films, Saif and I have always wanted to make projects with diverse genres and stories that we actually believed in. We want to take our time and make content, which the today's well-exposed audience may like. Imtiaz has given us a beautiful story."
Ranbir and Katrina surprised everyone with strong portrayal of youngsters who were forced into politics under circumstances. Kareena Kapoor is all set to follow their footsteps. It has been heard that Farhan Akhtar has offered Bebo a lead role in Excel Entertainment's political drama.
The very famous filmmaker Sudhir Mishra who got Kareena to act in Chameli has been roped in to direct this film. Will the critically acclaimed actress-director duo be able to create the Chameli magic again?
Sudhir Mishra has confirmed the news saying, "Yes, we have approached Kareena Kapoor for the next film, which will be produced by Farhan Akhtar known as Bhrub. I was planning a remake of Devdas but things didn't work out as the script I was writing became something else. The script went on to become Bhrub. Bhrub is the name of the central character of the film around whom the complete movie will revolve. It is about a person who is the heir of a huge political family. Kareena will be playing the female protagonist. She has an equally important role in the film. About the male lead in this movie, we have few names in mind, but this will be finalized only when Farhan is free, post the shooting of Don 2. We will sit together and brainstorm."
Sudhir continued saying, "Kareena completely broke free from the commercial films in Chameli and that is when people noticed her potential as an actor. I want to do that again as she has been exploited enough considering her talent as an actor."
There are rumors of Abhay and Farhan doing the lead role, but who knows. Watch this space for more.
Yesterday Shilpa Shetty spent her wedding anniversary in Dubai with hubby Raj Kundra. They celebrated it at their new home on the 19th floor of the tallest building in the world Burj Khalifa.
A close soruce to the actress says, "Shilpa was thrilled when Raj gave this luxury apartment to her as a gift. This was a wedding anniversary gift for her."
Raj gave her the keys a week before their anniversary in Mumbai. She had been to Dubai a few months before, and she simply loved the building and expressed her wish of living there.
The couple took a three-day break for celebrating their anniversary. Raj had planned a lot of things for Shilpa along with a lavish dinner and a few surprises along with it. Shetty will be designing the interiors of their new apartment. After this, she will be off to Bangkok to shoot a shampoo commercial.
The sourse further added, "Shilpa suddenly got a 103-degree temperature on Staurday night and a bad attack of pharyngitis. Though the fever was normal till Sunday evening, her voice had gone completely."
Duggu was recently hospitalized for an allergic reaction from an antibiotic medicine. Hrithink Roshan said that he is much better now and he got to the hospital just in time and even a delay of 15 minutes would have proved fatal for our Greek God.
Hrithik said from the hospital, "It was an allergic reaction from the antibiotics that I was taking. Throat and lungs went into spasm. I came to the hospital just in time…all cool now. I am kept under observation for sometime."
On Sunday evening, this reaction got so violent that his family got scared for his life. Hrithik was immediately taken to the hospital and an immediate check was carried out by a batch of doctors. An hour after his check, Hrithik sent an sms saying, "It was an allergic reaction. I got to the hospital in time. Fifteen minutes more it would have been fatal…lungs just closed…my voice box is affected."
Now the entire family must be relieved and Hrithik is resting and recovering under observations. He said, "So finally I am in the hospital. Damn so much to do!"
The original dancing queen of Bollywood Madhuri Dixit has been missing from the limelight for quiet some time now. However, the actress is all set to make a comeback on the small screen as the judge of a reality show.
She was last seen in YRF productions Aaja Nachle, which turned out to be a huge box office dud. This Bollywood actress will be assessing other people on their dancing abilities on the fourth season of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, which is an Indian adaptation of Dancing with the Stars.
When asked Madhuri about this she says, "Dance has always been my passion and this show is also associated with that and this is the only reason I decided to be a judge on it. It took me a while to say yes. After I went back to LA and saw Dancing with the Stars, I was convinced to take this offer."
Our very own Dhak Dhak girl will have the company of Remo D'Souza in the panel of judges. The name of the third judge has not been reveled yet, but there are rumors that Saroj Khan may join the panel. "I have no clue who the third judge is and it will be the decision of Sony. But it will be good for me if Sarojji is the third judge. I am keeping my fingers crossed," says Madhuri.
As a judge for the dance show, she will be concentrating on the participants poise, grace and the attitude, rest of the details will be left for the other judges. Madhuri says, "The participants on this show are well-known in their own fields. They are people who are very ambitious and will put in their best for winning this challenge. I will be looking at how they project themselves and bring their personalities in the performance."
We are sure that Siddharth Mallya will not like this. The recent buzz is that Deepika Padukone is not his girlfriend. Apparently, their affair is an official agreement for keeping them in news and to show him in the media as the right man in the town. In short, it means that he is the desirable heir for Dr. Vijay Mallya's flamboyant boots.
The best way to get any confirmation in this gossip was from the lady herself. However, Deepika said that she will never agree about her affair with the Mallya scion. She says, "I don't think I am ever going to be ready. There are various reasons. Last year there was too much focus on my personal life and no focus on my professional life. I have worked hard and I know people love me because of that and because where I am going out for dinners and with whom. Therefore, I want the speculations of Sid be and not clarify anything."
In the past, she had admitted her relationship with Ranbir, but it did not help, because there were questions about her wedding and babies asked over and over again. Therefore, now the curiosity suits her. "It will not harm me. I will never stop leading my kind of life because of the speculations that happen every now and then, I am not concerned about what people have to say about me. Denying or admitting a relation will never stop people from speculating. I will not let anyone enter my personal life anymore. I have drawn a line here," said Deepika.
Her next film Break ke Baad is about a couple who get back together after a break-up, so Dips is again being harassed with questions about Ranbir. All of this has lead to actress to go mad. Her replies are always guarded and she will never mention names, but all these are directly attributed to her ex-flame.
Everyone seems to be happy in their personal space and they are always cordial. So, we guess anything is possible.
The Indian Stammering Association (TISA), which is based in Dehradun is apparently very livid about Shreyas Talpade's character who is continuously made fun of because he stammers.
Golmaal 3, like many other films has been sued over objected petty issues. TISA has sent a legal notice to the producers and is accusing them of mocking all those people who stammer.
The sources said, "This association has taken the filmmakers to court for making fun at people suffering from a disability. In Golmaal 3, Shreyas Talpade is playing the role of Laxman, who has the problem of stammering, and the others, played by Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu and Arshad Warsi, constantly keep making fun of him. The association has sent a legal notice asking them to delete all the scenes in which character is stammering."
The producers are in a fix because the movie has released a week ago and now it is impossible to delete or remove all those scenes. The source added, "The producers will have to respond to the notice now, which is sent by the Uttarakhand court. They will have to respond to the notice before December 14."
The spokesperson of Ashtavinayak Cinevision confirmed saying, "Yes it is true that we have received a notice from the TIAS. In the movie, we have not tried to put down any person who is suffering from a physical disability. The film is an entertainer and one should take it in the same way."
When asked Shreyas Talpade he says, "No one will ever do it intentionally and people should look at this thing a positive manner, as the character I play is the hero of the film. I want to ask one thing to the association, 'why are you all considering yourself to be different when we are not?' we are not pointing a finger at anyone, and it is just a character in the film. Today we have so many constraints while making a movie, and so many problems keep coming up then we might have to make silent movies."
Well let's hope the loud and clear message by Shreyas to the sundry petitioners will save Bollywood from going back in the silent era.
The ability to forgive and success are interrelated. Success can make you happy, and when you are happy, you can forgive anyone easily. Currently, Salman Khan is exemplifying this state of mind.
Recently, Salman made up with his long-time foe John Abraham in Mehboob studios. These two actors were not on talking terms for more than four years now.
The patch-up took place on the sets of Rohit Dhawan's directorial debut Desi Boyz, which stars John Abraham, Akshay Kumar, Chitrangada Singh and Deepika Padukone in the leading role, which is being produced under Eros International banner. On chancing with Salman Khan on the sets, John wondered how Salman will react after seeing him.
When they made an eye contact, John smiled. Noticing the discomfort in John's eyes, Sallu went over and hugged hum. An eyewitness says, "Actually, they both took a few steps towards each other. However, the hug took everyone by surprise. Past that, there was a big celebration on the sets. Salman and John even had lunch together."
The reason why Salman came on the sets of Desi Boyz, the source says, "Sallu came to meet Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt who are acting in the film. Sanjay's name was recently added to the cast for a cameo."
Ages ago, the differences started increasing between Salman and John over payments at their Rockstar stage show in 2006. By the time they came together to work in Ravi Chopra's Babul, the animosity had increased and it reflected on-screen as well.
After this John continued to work with Salman's then girlfriend Katrina Kaif in Yash Raj Films'Â New York. Meanwhile Salman refused to work with John's girlfriend Bipasha Basu. The director duo Abbas-Mastn had decided to cast Bipasha and Salman together in a mega project, but the instant Salman came to know who the heroine was he turned down the offer.
This year in June, Salman ended his cold war with Bipasha, though in this situation it was Bipasha who took the first step towards reconciliation. At the award ceremony in Sri Lanka, Bipasha walked over to Salman's room and spoke to him at length. Since then the two have learnt to maintain a cordial relation with one another. Bipasha attended Salman's Being Human fashion show as well.
Ram Mirchandani who is the Chief Creative Officer of Eros International was also present on the sets. He confirmed saying, "Yes John and Salman met very warmly. Salman had some to visit Rohit, John, Akshay and Deepika."
Well, as it's said all's well that ends well. We wonder if Sallu is planning to forgive Vivek Oberoi….

I'm trying to think ahead for gardening this spring. Has anyone had any success with growing a sweet onion here in Minnesota? If so, what variety, and did you use sets, transplants, or seeds? |

I've had good success with both Walla Wallas, and Candy. I always start with plants. I usually order from Dixondale Farms. Several of my friends get together on 1 order to take advantage of their quanity discounts. Neither of those is a long term storage onion. |

Thank you so much for the advice and the website! I'm very impressed with the prices from Dixondale Farms. Thanks! |

Samsung popularized this form factor with its 5.3″ Galaxy Note that was released last winter and they sold about 10 million in 2012. Some analysts believe that Samsung is on track to sell around 20 million Galaxy Note 2′s in 2013. Up to now, the market for these Phablet's has mainly been in Korea and other parts of Asia and while available
But the market for it over here in the U.S. is quite small compared to demand in Asia.
At CES, Huawei upped the ante in phablets with the introduction of their Ascend Phablet that sports a 6.1 inch screen, the largest screen used in products in this category.
It seems that Huawei is trotting this out to see what the market response.
Depending on the market response, they could either back it big time or adjust the screen size downward if the sweet spot for Phablets is with screens more in the 5.3″ to 5.7′ range. Like Samsung, Huawei believes there is a market for Phablets and seems committed to building smartphones in this larger size going forward.
To date, most smartphones have screens under 5 inches and we don't see that changing anytime soon. Smartphones with smaller screen sizes will have the lion's share of the market for many years to come.
Big smartphone? Small tablet? No and Yes
But what's interesting to me is that when I actually held Huawei's 6.1 inch smartphone in my hand at the Huawei booth at CES, I could actually see myself using it, but not as Huawei might expect. To me this was a small tablet that just happened to have a cell phone radio in it. I would never hold this up to my ear as a phone and if I had one, I would only use it with a Bluetooth headset (this is how I primarily use the iPhone now, paired with a BT headset).
Since getting the iPad Mini, with its 7.9″ screen, it has become my go to tablet. While I still use my original iPad, it is with a Bluetooth keyboard and I use it more as a mini-laptop in this configuration.
What I have learned though is that the iPad mini, or a smaller tablet, is ideal for content consumption, but not as ideal for content creation or productivity. While I do appreciate the 7.9″ screen in my iPad Mini, I was just as comfortable with Huawei's 6.1 Ascend if I used it mainly as a small tablet.
Markets driving phablet demand
There are two market dynamics emerging that could actually make these phablets important products in various markets. The first one is emerging markets. We in the West would be fooling ourselves if we think that masses of people in emerging markets could afford both a smartphone and a tablet. Even with grey market tablets going for cheap prices, the issue of carrying two devices with them all of the time is just not reasonable.
Apparently, Samsung saw this trend early on and has taken aim at the emerging market with their phablets, hoping that the desire for a single device that serves as a smartphone and tablet resonates with them. Indeed, the reason for a forecast of 20 million Galaxy's Note II's in 2013 is that most of them will start finding their way into emerging markets and filling a real need, especially if Samsung gets the prices of this product into acceptable price ranges acceptable. In these markets, one is better than two.
Visualizing a digital future – in your back pocket
The second market developing has broader implications for us in the West. If you sit back and try and visualize our digital future, it is pretty easy to see that most of us will have many screens in our digital lifestyles. We will have a screen in our smartphone, tablets, PC's, TV's, Car, appliances, etc. If they are all connected to our digital stuff in the cloud, then the screen that is closest to us at our time of need is the one we will most likely use.
In most cases, the closest screen is our smartphone. However, when we want to access our digital "stuff" or the Web, many of us who have tablets often go to our tablets for one major reason, it has a bigger screen and is easier to use especially when surfing the Web or reading docs and email and getting other forms of content.
However, this implies that we now carry with us two devices at the very least, a smartphone and a tablet. What if we could get both in a single device that is highly portable? It that were the case, perhaps a smartphone even with a 5.3-inch screen would be too small; but one with perhaps a very pocketable one at 6.1″ might be just right.
I was easily able to put the Ascend 6.1 in my back pocket as I do now with any spare smartphone I happen to be testing at any given time.
One size doesn't fit all
One other thing we are learning from our research is that one size does not fit all.
Based on individuals needs, you may actually want a larger screen on your smartphone because it's easier to read if you have eyesight problems and perhaps just your preference to see things bigger.
As a small tablet, this larger screen size also works well for the same reasons, along with its ultraportablity. We believe it will start to be pretty clear to all device makers that they may need a range of screen sizes in their smartphone and tablet lineup to meet new user demands in the next 12-18 months.
If both of these market trends play out as I suggest here, and the concept of a two-in-one device catches on in emerging markets and demands increase in mature markets, all smartphone vendors may have to seriously consider doing phablets of their own.
Learning from the auto industry
As strange as this may seem to us Western thinkers, there is a real possibility that a market for phablets could actually emerge and become quite important in multiple markets around the world.
Yet if we take a step back and look at the vast array of sizes and forms of our current automobile market, then we understand the role personal preference and the need to have a lineup of products to cover a wide range of uses. Vast variance in smartphones and tablets actually makes sense due to mature market characteristics.

An act of random kindness
By Brandy DeVous
In this world there will always be some horrible events, and with each horrible event comes unbelievable generosity, some are just random acts of kindness.
Annie Ames, a second-year 4-H member, heard about the Prague girls from her mother. The two girls had unfortunately lost both parents in a matter of two days. Annie, hearing their story, decided to give $500 from her Canadian County Premium Livestock Bonus Sale check to the two girls.
"It felt like the right thing to do," Annie said. "The girls needed the money more than I did."
With Annie only beginning in the 4-H program, I asked if she planned on doing anything like this is in the future.
"Yes," she said. "It made me feel good knowing I helped out someone in a hard time." For every horrible event there is an act of unbelievable generosity. This time it was a young girl who decided to give out a random act of kindness.

State Legislature approves DREAM Act for immigrants' children
The DREAM Act. The Real Hope Act. By any name, it's a winner with the state Legislature.
The Washington House passed a Senate version of the bill 75-22 Tuesday to send it to Gov Jay Inslee for his signature. The bill makes Washington high school graduates whose parents are undocumented immigrants eligible to apply for college financial aid.
Recently, the Washington Senate on Friday with a 35-10 vote in favor of letting the children of undocumented immigrants apply for college financial aid. The Senate Majority Coalition Caucus version of the bill was a clone of Democratic bills from the 2013 and 2014 sessions, except that it added $5 million to help implement the aid.
This is the first major bill in which the majority coalition members split among themselves in 2013 and 2014. The 35 "yes" votes included 10 Republicans and the two Democratic members of the majority coalition. Ten Republicans voted no. And four conservative Republicans were absent. Also, the majority coalition's bill changed the name of the "DREAM Act" to the "Real Hope Act."
The majority coalition had long blocked the 2013 Democratic bill from coming to a Senate floor vote despite support for the measure from some of its own members. However, that stance was suddenly reversed earlier this month with a surprise announcement of the new version of the bill from several coalition members, including Majority Coalition Leader Rodney Tom, D-Medina, and Republican Caucus Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville.
The bill sponsored by Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, zipped through Senate without a hearing — moving from introduction to Senate approval in less than 24 hours. That speed irritated some Republican Senators who argued that the new bill should have received a public hearing first.
The bill would add $5 million to the current $267 million college aid pool, from which more than tens of thousands of students can apply for aid. It hasn't been calculated how many new students would receive aid, or what amounts they would be eligible to receive. The source of the extra $5 million also has to be hashed out between the Senate and House's budget negotiators.
"While we've opened the doors of our colleges and universities to students from all walks of life, too many still face an insurmountable financial barrier," Inslee said in a written statement. "This bill ensures that the young men and women we've invested in at our high schools and who aspire to become productive American citizens will now have fair access to the financial support they need to turn their dreams into reality."

It figures that Inslee, who supports anything illegal alien, would be happy about this BFD. He obviously doesn't care what the increasing population of illegal aliens cost legal citizen, Washington State taxpayers.
From the article " The bill makes Washington high school graduates whose parents are undocumented immigrants eligible to apply for college financial aid."
Wasn't this bill designed to support children who were brought into this country illegally by their parents? They themselves not being legal citizens as opposed to the 4th amendment children who were born here to illegal alien parents? My question to the author if this piece and to the lawmakers who passed it is ( If the parents of the Dreamers are illegal aliens who illegally transported their children into our country, and that is a condition to be eligible for access to the funds, who is identifying and verifying the status of the parents and are they being processed for deportation?) If not, why not? How is this not an illegal gifting of public funds?
Posted Wed, Feb 19, 10:40 p.m.
Great to see this sensible bill pass a divided Legislature - and with a large bipartisan majority that reflects the majority of Americans and Washingtonians who support access to education for all.
@Cameron - you say Inslee "supports anything illegal alien" - whatever that means - but then how do you explain Republican support for the WA DREAM Act? From Central and Eastern WA? From rural areas?
And, no, being undocumented is not "a condition to be eligible for access to the funds" - being a WA resident is. They simply expanded the pool to accept more talented youth who dream of going to college. That's a good thing in my opinion. But feel free to stand in the way of their dreams and demonize their parents, that's your right.
Posted Thu, Feb 20, 5:29 p.m.
If those undocumented aka illegal aliens are not legally eligible to work in this country once they graduate...what is the point?
What exactly does being a resident mean? You stayed under the radar in a community long enough to rent an apartment and pay a utility bill?
I would wager that there are tens of millions of people across the globe that would love the opportunity to come to America, get a free education and work without going through any of that messy "process" every legal immigrant has to go through, why not tax legal residents to give them a free education? What are you personally willing to take out of your pocket and pay to support your opinion? Better yet post you address and we can start sending groups of illegal aliens to stay with you and for you to provide housing, healthcare, education. Remember there is no limit to number that should be accepted under your proposal. There simply is not enough money to continue to fund your opinion on a national basis.

Arroyo Grande High kicker Cole Ramey is working this summer to build on his successful sophomore season that ended in All-State First Team honors.
The junior continues to train with his coach Billy Vinnedge, a former AG High and Hancock College standout, who went on to play at the University of Wyoming and spent a preseason with the San Diego Chargers.
Ramey kicked a 52 yard field goal as a freshman for the Eagles. Last year as a sophomore, his first season on the varsity squad, Ramey converted 5 field goals, including his longest of 42 yards. He averaged 31.5 yards per punt, including a long of 50 yards. He also sent 15 of his 52 kickoffs for touchbacks.
Cole is hoping to take his game to the next level this fall.
"The goal is just to make every kick count, try to keep my mental game and physical game and see where it takes me," said Ramey.
"His leg strength is incredible. He's got the strongest leg on the entire Central Coast, let alone the entire state for his class. And I think he's going to pretty far with kicking if he sticks with it," said Vinnedge, who also worked with former Eagle Garrett Owens, who's know a kicker for Oregon State.
Ramey is one of twenty kickers from as far away as Santa Cruz and Bakersfield, who will attend Vinnedge's Kicking Academy Camp this weekend. Sessions will take place this Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 3pm. There will also be a third session held on Saturday, July 20.
They'll learn field goal, kickoff and punting techniques, as well as participating in kickoff competitions.

Problems with Institute of Reading Development Program?
I enrolled my son in the Institute of Reading Development Program. I've received flyers from them for several years now. Every time I called, I was subjected to "hard sell" tactics,but this year I finally decided to sign my son up. Unfortunately in my case, I am out $300 because the program is a waste of time for my son.
Follow-Up Postings:
Finally, after almost a week of trying, I got in touch with a supervisor, and even though it was hard to get a hold of someone, I am very satisfied with the service and resolution that was reached. I explained the class level situation to the supervisor, and she said that my son would be able to move to the higher level next summer without an additional charge. He won't be finishing this years class, but he already has the skills they teach. I also have to add that the teacher my son had was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and recognized that my son was in the wrong class. She wanted what was best for him, and that meant a lot to me. Overall, I'm a satisfied customer. |
This organization is a cult and I highly recommend staying away from them, not speaking with them and certainly not signing up your child for their programs. I worked for them! They are a complete brain washing system of control and submission. All they want is money and they target the financially challenged to get them to pay anything they can through manipulation. These people are evil in every way. From the way they treat employees to the way they manipulate people into giving them money for fear and guilt of illiteracy and stigma with their children. Dispicable and evil people. Hang up! |

Your car is running beautifully, and all seems right with the world. You have no trepidation whatsoever when the time comes to take it in for your state or local emissions test. After an interminable wait in line at the inspection station, a smiling, snappily dressed functionary shoves a probe up your tailpipe and asks you to gun it. Moments later, the inspector smiles wearily as he hands you an envelope--not a new inspection sticker for your license plate, but an envelope that says "FAIL" in bright red letters. You have only a month to do your homework and pass inspection. Heck, getting into college wasn't this hard.
Wasn't your car designed to meet these emissions standards? Haven't you done your best to maintain it with regular oil changes and tuneups? What's gone wrong? And, most important, how can you make it pass?
Take a minute to read the rejection slip carefully. Typically, it will give you the test results for your car along with the acceptable limits. Note which of the "terrible trio"--hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) or oxides of nitrogen (NOx)--is out of bounds.

I picked New York City because cities really dont get bigger or more terrifying for a little bonding time with my daughters, who at 14 and 17 have been too cool to cling to me for some time.
That is nothing a few days battling crowds of a million wont fix, because you quickly learn that if you are not holding hands one of you will be swept away in the sea of bodies, lost forever. Im just saying, all that teenage coolness melts away pretty quick when the choice is hold your moms hand or navigate the streets of New York by yourself.
I know, forever sounds a little melodramatic, especially since we all have cell phones. Well guess what I learned? Cell phones dont work on the subway.
But Ill get back to that.
So there we were, walking and talking and bonding our way through the quintessential New York City Experience. We sampled gelato in Little Italy and browsed secret purse rooms in China Town, looked for our ancestors names at Ellis Island and misted up together at Phantom of the Opera. We rode a rickshaw through Central Park, pondered the life of John Lennon at Strawberry Fields and people-watched to our hearts content in Times Square. It was storybook perfect, and we three were having the time of our lives.
Okay, thats not quite true. The storybook part, I mean.
In a storybook people just effortlessly flit from one fantastic place to the next; they arent standing slack-jawed in front of a subway map for a half an hour before they finally get on a train, the wrong train, and then repeat the scene all over again at the next stop.
You practically need a physics degree to understand the tangled subway route map and the difference between the BD trains and the ACE ones and where they do and dont stop, and when the 23 line stops being the 1239 line and how they overlap with the QNRW trains and when that turns into just the R train... yeah. I felt like an idiot, and I wasnt afraid to show it.
Each of our final destinations started out the same way: Me standing in front of a subway map with scribbled notes and a dumb stare. After a few forays onto the wrong trains I threw that seasoned tourist persona to the wind and started asking people, any people, for help. My daughters were at first mortified because it turns out they actually do think I know everything. But they couldnt deny that asking for help was getting us where we needed to be, and the subway actually became a little more laid back experience once we werent constantly terrified by it. Almost enjoyable even. Okay, thats pushing it. But at least we werent clinging together in a wide-eyed huddle frantically scouring a map and the stations signs at every stop.
Our fear gave way to iPods and people-watching, but not cell phones, because there are few signals that can make it underground through that many tons of metal, concrete and rebar. Subway cars are about the only place left in America that are eerily devoid of the cell phone chatter that has become a way of life elsewhere, and guess what folks that quiet is actually kind of peaceful.
But relaxing when youre taking the New York City subway isnt always a good thing. In fact it almost lost me a daughter. And an arm.
On one of our jaunts my 14-year-old was lounging in a seat near the door as we approached our stop, confident she could just hop up and hop out when we got there.
As the doors opened my eldest stepped off the train and I followed, turning to make sure my youngest was behind me. In that instant she looked back and saw her iPod lying on the seat shed just vacated, and like any 14-year-old would, she turned back to grab it.
But the New York City subway waits for no one, and to my horror I watched the doors start to close in front of me, with my youngest child still on the train and about to be swept away to God only knows where.
She looked at me with fear in her eyes, and it is a fear I know well. Years ago when I was on a vacation in Europe, I was in her shoes exactly after I stepped onto a subway car and the doors shut behind me, leaving my then-husband standing on the platform as I was whisked away. I was in a strange city on a subway I didnt understand with no cell phone and no money my husband had everything and Ill never forget futilely pressing my palm to the window as I watched him disappear. Panicked, I spun around to the curious stares of the people who just watched the display. A few nodded knowingly. I stared back in horror. I handled the situation the way we are taught to when we are children: I got off at the next stop and sat down on a bench until he found me. Yes, it took a while, and yes, I was scared out of my mind, and no, I didnt want that to happen to my daughter.
So there in the New York subway, the spectacle that followed became one of those legendary, albeit kind of embarrassing, defining moments between children and parents, when my daughter, and all the people on the train, realized that the train would leave with my daughter on it only over my dead body, or at least my arms, which I had stuck in between the now almost closed doors.
These subway doors are nothing like the elevator doors that give you a polite bump before opening back up to give you more time. No, these doors wanted to close, and I found myself wrestling them with suddenly Herculean strength. I totally understand now how mothers can pick cars up off their babies in moments of overpowering basic instinct. This was my car, and that was my baby standing inside, and I was going to get her off or get my arms ripped off trying. My daughter, and everyone on the subway car, was staring at me with wide eyes as I wedged my body between the doors and forced them just a tiny bit farther apart. Like one of those possessed characters in a movie my mouth opened and GEETTT OFFFFF! boomed out in a strange voice, at which she hastily scrambled past me onto the platform.
As the train sped off I turned to my daughters, straightening my clothes and smoothing my hair in an attempt at composure. My other daughter was standing with her mouth hanging open. The youngests eyes were still big. I tried to sound normal and pleasant. Lets go get some ice cream, girls, and off we went, hand in hand in hand.
But I had to know. What would you have done? I asked my daughter, praying for the right answer. I would have called you, she said. No you wouldnt have because theres no service, I reminded her. Well in that case I would have gotten off at the next stop and walked to the hotel, she shrugged. Nooooooo! That was definitely the wrong answer. You get off, call me from the street, stand in one spot and wait for me, I said, needing to feel like the scene moments ago at least produced a learning moment should it ever happen again.
But the truth is that it was never going to happen again, because my daughters, clinging tightly to me, had learned the most important thing of all: That holding moms hand is by far the best way to navigate New York City whether other people think its cool or not.

CBNnews.com - A political cartoon published in the New York Post, Wednesday, is being called a racist attack on President Obama.
The controversial cartoon shows a dead chimpanzee and a police officer with a smoking gun. The picture's caption reads, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."
Community leaders and politicians are now lining up in protest of the drawing.
"He's not a chimpanzee, he is our President," New York Sen. Eric Adams said. "It's going to take some people to get their jungle minds out of the gutter and realize they've got to get over it."
Protestors call it disrespectful and insulting, in light of history and racial stereotypes.
Still, New York Post editors are not backing down.
"The cartoon is a parody of a current news event, which is the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut," they said in a statement. "It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the country."
