Pencils and finished cover to "Spike: Asylum" #1. |
"The daughter is being held in, in the most basic of terms, an asylum for monsters," Lynch told CBR news of the series' plot. "Basically it advertises itself as a rehabilitation center, seeking to cure vampires of their blood addiction, werewolves of their anger issues/schizophrenia, witches of their magic dependence, that kind of thing. When Spike arrives, he finds out it's more of a prison than a rehabilitation center. The asylum does in fact seek to cure the supernatural, but they believe in 'tough love': keeping their 'guests' locked in cages, having well-armed guards making sure no one acts up, performing experimental surgery, etc.
"Also, many of the patients know of Spike either by previous encounter or urban legend, so when he arrives, everyone wants to dust him. Spike has to rescue the young girl, fend off hundreds of angry supernatural prisoners, and escape a near-fortress, all in five lovely, action-and-group-therapy-packed issues."
"Spike: Asylum" #2 | "Spike: Asylum" #3 |
Appearing in this series alongside Spike will be a diverse array of new characters, created by Lynch, but also faithful to the spirit of Whedon's previous creations. "Spike is sent to find Ruby Monahan, a half-demon with telepathic powers. She's a nice girl put in a terrible situation, and Spike sees her as a way of redeeming himself for years of evil deeds," explained Lynch. "Wiseau is an American vampire in the asylum, who has defeated and drained every creature in the book, just to see what they taste like. Years of downing a plethora of supernatural have done some wacky stuff to him. His relationship with Spike is a tumultuous one, Spike kinda sees him as the kind of vampire he used to be.
"Finally, Spike's support group in the Asylum includes a handful of demented misfits that make Spike's stay more interesting. I don't want to give all the characters away, but I can tell you about a few of them. There's Marv, a werewolf who is so doped up on Mosaic's medication that he can't fully transform into a werewolf during a full moon, so he's constantly hairy and moody. Next we have Anna, a demon-slash-actress from Los Angeles, who thought getting breast implants would distract from her giant demon horns. And finally, Betta George, a large fish with impressive mental powers. George steals much of the series, and I truly believe if there is any justice in the world he will have a stuffed animal by years end."
"Spike: Asylum" #4 | IDW's EiC Chris Ryall makes a cameo in issue #3 as a Dr. Strange like character. |
"Another appealing aspect about the character is the fact that he wears his heart on his sleeve: he's the perfect romantic hero in the sense that everything he's done: become a vampire, gone bad, fought for a soul and become good, is for the love of a woman. And I think people can relate to that. Not necessarily the vampire stuff, I hope no one reading it can relate to sucking blood (and if they CAN, man, I hope they enjoy it), but we've all made huge decisions that were made not using our heads, but our hearts. Or a bit lower. No, lower. A little lower. Thaaaaat's what I'm talking about.
"Plus, he's a smart-ass, always finding a way to take the piss out of anyone around him, which means as dark as the book gets (and it does go to some dark places), there's always an element of humor because of Spike's reactions."
Issue #1, Page 1 | Issue #1, Page 2 |
"As for redemption in our world, absolutely it's possible. Some people are way beyond it, of course. Osama couldn't put on a cape and stop a bank robbery and all would be forgiven, but people are constantly changing. Folks that are generally good can slip, and people that have done awful deeds can have moments, be it fleeting or life-changing, where they change their way for the better.
"Okay, this got heady for a second. Vampires, huh? Vampires are fun. They bite. Necks, mostly. Man do they love to bite necks."
Issue #1, Page 3 | Issue #1, Page 4 |
When writing "Asylum," Lynch didn't face any real restrictions besides not being able to set the story after the end of "Angel." "That's a storyline that Joss and company want to tell," he revealed. "I made sure to make it the best Spike story I could, continuity be damned. When writing it, I didn't declare "this takes place during these episodes" or "this takes place after the series", really, it's a solo Spike tale that would fit right into any part of 'Angel' season 5, or after the show, whatever the reader wants to assume."
While Brian Lynch's name may not be familiar to some, he's a very experienced writer, whose worked with everyone from Fox to Warner Bros to The Jim Henson Company. That experience, along with a story in "Spider-Man Unlimited," has come in handy on "Asylum," which he wants to be worth reading monthly, not just in a trade paperback collection. "I love going to the comic store every Wednesday, but it kinda sucks to buy a single issue wherein not much happens," explained Lynch. "A lot of books are written for the eventual trade paperback or hardcover collection, not much happens in the single issue because it's just a small part of a larger tale that has to be read with the surrounding chapters to enjoy. 'Spike: Asylum' is a five issue mini series, but it's definitely written for the reader going in every Wednesday to get each issue one at a time. I want to give people their money's worth."
Issue #1, Page 5 | Issue #1, Page 6 |
Fans of Spike will want to check out "Angel: Auld Lang Syne," in which the vampire nicknamed "Blondie Bear" will play a role, and fans of Lynch's work will be happy to know that he's going to be quite busy for the foreseeable future. "I'm currently writing a movie for Dreamworks, and a TV show for the CW," revealed Lynch. "Both are going well, more on them as soon as I'm allowed to say. In the world of comics, I'm publishing Monkey Man's final adventure in a full-color comic one-shot that goes by the name of 'Monkey Man 2-D.' Art is by Joey Mason ('Gun Fu'), and it's pretty spectacular.
"Also, might be kinda sorta too early to say, but I think Franco Urru and I aren't quite done with Spike just yet. We have another story we want to tell, and it looks like that's a go. I've got SpikeE-fever, I just want to keep writing that character."
If you're one of those "Buffy" and/or "Angel" fans who have been reticent to check out the comic book adaptations of your favorite vampire with a soul, Lynch understands how you feel and recommends "Asylum" because, "It's a great way to see new adventures of the characters they love, written and drawn by people who love them as much as the readers do. The show was ended way before it's time, and the books are a great way (and really, one of the only ways) to see any kind of new stories in Angel and Spike's world. 'Spike: Asylum' was written to be the big 'Spike' movie that unfortunately was never made, and truly, anyone that enjoys the shows, the character of Spike in particular, will enjoy the mini-series."

September 26, 2013 ·
Galatasaray has reported in their official website that the recent developments in the club have started damaging club values. Media also have been elaborating discord between the coach and the club's management.
The 60 year old was set to take charge of the Turkish national team for their 2014 WC qualifiers together with the Galatasaray job.
However, with the manager gone, Didier Drogba is supposed to take in charge of the Istanbul team as a player-manager for the first time in his life.
Didier Drogba, the hero of one of the biggest English football stadium, Wembley might get a chance at starting his managerial career at the Istanbul Club.
Galatasaray are currently 10th in the league and they suffered a humiliating 6-1 defeat against Real Madrid at home in their Champion League group B match last week.
Their derby against Besiktas was also halted on the 93rd minute after thousands of fans jumped to the pitch when Felipe Melo was sent off the field with a red card.
Galatasaray were leading the game 2-1 after they saw Didier Drogba's goal in the third minute of the added time just before the game was put to halt for the safety of the players.

Completely Fair Scheduler Analyzed
Avinesh Kumar, an IBM developer has taken a close look at the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) introduced with kernel 2.6.23, comparing it with other schedulers. In the conclusion to the analysis, Kumar discusses changes in the future kernel 2.6.24 scheduler.
In the document Kumar compares the Completely Fair Scheduler with the Rotating Staircase Deadline Scheduler, developed by Australian anesthetist Con Colivas. Some of Colivas's RSD scheduler code was used for the current scheduler. After an introduction to the Pluggable CPU Scheduler kernel framework, which is useful for testing applications, Kumar describes the scheduler's logic.
Kumar concludes the article by discussing the changes to the scheduler for kernel 2.6.24, which is due for release in the near future. Besides optimizations for individual applications, there are some improvements relating to group policies.
The document is available free of charge from IBM's developer pages along with many other documents on the kernel and its subsystems.

Pretty In Pink, Liberty Survive Mystic-al Evening
The New York Liberty wore pink uniforms upon their return to Madison Square Garden this evening for Breast Health Awareness Night. Tina Charles was the offense as she scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as she paced New York (10-14) to a 80-76 overtime win over the Washington Mystics. (13-14) But she was far from alone as three players, Cruz, Pondexter and Rodgers all scored double digits and played key roles in this key victory.
Laimbeer is liking some things which is a far cry from earlier when the Liberty started 3-9 and looked lost offensively. Even with the second half collapse they pulled out a win. "It's a good sign – they all like each other and the chemistry this year is so much different than last year." Laimbeer pointed out. " They root for each other. I thought across the board we all got some really good efforts." Tina Charles also had her views on the difference in play. "The first half of the season, we were still trying to figure things out. Players were developing and learning their roles. In the second half, we have a lot more confidence. What Sugar Roberts did tonight really showed that a lot of players are coming into their own."
The Liberty rode Charles to a 21-15 lead after one. Washington were practically enemic shooting 41 percent. The Liberty were only slightly better at the half at 43, but with inspired play from Natasha Lacy, who provided speed and smart play, the offense moving smoothly. Laimbeer noticed. "You saw players like Natasha Lacy, a recent pickup, come in and play very quality minutes. Charde Houston came in today and played quality minutes also." Laimbeer explained. Avery Warley-Talbert grabbed a season high 11 rebounds, 4 on one series when she was stopped on five straight layup attempts, with no foul calls that was laughable but a major sign on why Laimbeer put her in the starting lineup, to provide muscle to both sides of the court.
Tina Charles, whose medium jumper was on, is unstoppable when that happens. Charles finished with 19 and 8 boards in the first half. The Liberty got enough from the bench with Plenette Pierson adding six and Cruz had six in support, but with the Liberty leading 40-28 after a turnover, saw the ball go into the hands of Alex Montgomery, who missed her first five shots, and from beyond half court line lifted a rainbow that went the distance and swished cleanly, pumping up a Liberty team who was already in control.
The Liberty started slow in the third. Laimbeer blew a gasket, and Cappie responded with a jump shot. Intensity suddenly went up several notches. Cappie went to work and was up to ten pts and five rebounds and with 3:52 a catch and left underhand scoop shot and with 1:41 left made it 54-41. It apoeared an easy night at the office. Suddenly Washington found its shot with Mystic guard Ivory Latta hitting a three and Ruffin Pratt drive suddenly put Washington within ten after three.
Lawson three made it six starting the fourth, but Chade Houston, just off the bench provided crucial minutes and scores and big rebound to extend a play where Cruz scored. Bill had seen enough and the big gunners Cappie and Charles returned with 6:53 left. But the momentum coukd not be stopped. Currie three made it 64- 60 with a three but missed a big foul shot, hitting one of two, Charles hit a big jumper from top of the key, which gave her 21 and with a five point lead and under four minutes the Liberty appeared on their way. However, the Mystics, with 20 of 50 shooting in the three preceding quarters rallied."We got a little frustrated within ourselves and relaxed. They were playing harder than us but once we stopped their run, we went back and forth." Cappie explained. Latta confirmed the nature of the contest as she hit a three and cut it to 66-64. A technical saw Cappie miss. Olson hard left hand hook tied it, but Charles showed her MVP moves. A running dribble and stop for short jumper and New York was up 68-66 with 1:30 left. A defensiveve stand with 1:04 left followed. Then New York went to Cruz control , off a miss and deflection that found its way to her on the three pt line and Cruz hit the shot that made it 70-66. Cruz had 13 at this point with 40 seconds left. But Washington was stubborn.
Lawson scored and drew a foul with 22 seconds left and hit a foul making it 70-69. Can you say meltdown? A turnover gave it back to the Mystics. Sugar stripped Pratt on drive and got fouled with 12 seconds left in regulation. She hit one of two and then Hartley drove for tying score with 6/10th of a second left. But New York still had Sugar to spice the attack. Sugar Rodgers was indominable in the overtime after the Liberty were outscored in the fourth 25-15. Sugar scored five points and rebounded and kept the Mystics guessing. "She was a magnet! She was everywhere! It was a great call by Coach to give her the confidence she needed to make the stops – and we needed it!" Pondexter praised. Laimbeer was also appreciative. "We know Sugar (Rodgers) can play defense. There's no question about that – she's a very solid defender and I had her in down the stretch because she is a solid defender." Laimbeer said. "I've been working on her to be more aggressive offensively – she made a big three ball. Overall, I think she played a solid game for us, as did many other players for us tonight."
Finally after it appeared that Washington was about to tie it again. Cruz came from behind to deflect a steal and save it to Charles with 11 seconds left. Plenette was fouled on back to back plays to force foul shots. Where the Mystics failed with four crucial misses from the free stop, Pierson sank both to make it a four point lead and Sugar again closed the game smothering her opponent and forcing a jump ball.
"The Liberty were able to do what they wanted in the first half. In the second half, we came in and did a good job with stops and executing the offense. In the second half, we really picked up our defense better than in the first half. We started making shots and we shared the ball but in the end the free throws cost us and so did their offensive rebounds." Washington's Monique Currie, who tied for team lead with 12 summarized.
"For the win itself, it's a very big win for our franchise. We're trying to catch anybody and everybody in front of us." Laimbeer added. The Liberty has two straight big road games in Chicago and Atlanta. But now the Liberty are in the mix. The grind continues.

I hope the Economist can finally stop playing the lazy false equivalence game and recognize that one American political party is in total thrall to madness and is incapable of governing responsibly. And it's not the Dems.
This GOP legislature has only one single goal: to screw this president.
This insane bunch will go down in History as the worst and the most damaging legislative body the Republican Party ever had in place.
The reason the editors are having trouble figuring out the Republicans is because they forgot the goal of this particular batch of Republicans - to beat Obama in 2012. Everything else - debt, unemployment, Afghanistan - is secondary. Since 1945, no president has been re-elected when unemployment was over 7%, and the Republicans will do whatever they can to keep that record going. The fact that Eric Cantor is an investor in a fund that will go up in value should the U.S. default should tell you about where their priorities are.
A country is only as good as its government - and the most important principle of good governance is the recognition of reality.
In the USA (and, to a slightly lesser degree, most of the western countries) public discourse is dominated and in many ways steered by unaccountable partisan media, who put their political bias above reality itself.
Worse yet, people are for the most part liable to believe trust those people first, whose opinions and stories are the most consistent. This is prudent, so long as those opinions and stories adhere to reality, because then consistence is the hallmark of those people who understand reality best.
This is because reality is a mess with very little obvious consistence and it takes a lot of work to squeeze the coherent threats out of it and weave them into a fabric that can be communicated to other people, while at the same time providing an accurate picture of the world.
But on the other hand, it is easy to come up with consistent narratives, if you depart from reality at will and paint a picture of your political understanding without any adherence to the real world. And it is those narratives, that the public is apt to follow, if it has not acquired the habit of checking the narratives presented to them for their factual content.
Acquiring this habit is what Immanuel Kant called being enlightened. And it is not by chance that democracy came into existence when the enlightenment, that critical spirit, rose in public conscience. Because it is the very basis of democracy, where politics is supposed to be the result of the public decisions made by majorities.
But where the public is no longer informed on the basis of reality, but political fabrication - which today is dominating public discourse and hence politics - a democracy is doomed to utter failure.
Not a new insight. Aristotle said that in his own words 2300 years before our time.
I put all my money in cash yesterday. The Republicans are just plan mad in my book and capable of driving us over the cliff.
"The Economist, in this article and over the past several years, is demonstrating that it is utterly incapable of considering, much less reporting and balancing, some core principles of the dynamics of fiscal economics. Can this paper even consider that it is the high spending (now 25% of GDP!) that IS WHAT IS slowing economic growth AND revenue? Can it even fathom the notion that, for an easy example, cutting the world's-highest corporate tax rate would likely bring in lots MORE revenue?"
Can you consider that you're not using the proper measurement of government expenditure if you're trying to talk about distortion? Your figure surely includes almost one trillion dollars of pure transfer payments. The problem with arguments such as yours is that there's no empirical justification present whatsoever. What is the acceptable level of government spending as a percent of GDP according to the holdouts? What about corporate income taxes? Where is the scientific literacy in the Republican camp as opposed to these tired discrete tax/no tax arguments?
>But the country will have to stop paying someone: perhaps pensioners, or government suppliers, or soldiers.
Well there's your solution: Publicly damn the Republicans for NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS!
Of course that would require Democrats with huevos, and those are as hard to find as a principled Republican.
I think I would disagree a great deal with the notion suggested by the Economist that cutting spending to the tune suggested would suffice faced with a vulnerable economic recovery --when that recovery would itself be imperilled by such action. I would also disagree with the notion that a successful rebalancing of the deficit and budget would reasonably be 85% spending cuts and 15% tax increases, when far more than enough taxes were renewed as recently as a year ago.
re: berferd
"... it is the high spending (now 25% of GDP!) that IS WHAT IS slowing economic growth AND revenue? Can it even fathom the notion that, for an easy example, cutting the world's-highest corporate tax rate would likely bring in lots MORE revenue?"
I suspect that the Economist is still too grounded in both theory, practical knowledge, and historical evidence to assume that increased debts and spending would reduce economic growth. What is the theory behind your claim, and what is the evidence that is what is happening?
As for your second point... it's false. The United States doesn't have the world's higest corporate taxes at all:
Besides: With Corporate incomes rising to pre-recession levels and nothing trickling down; it seems very naive to assume that further pushing the incomes of companies higher would provide any benefit at all to the public.
Very poor reporting. The Economist should change its name to "The Keynesian Economist" - as that is all it appears willing to defend.
Last week even Bill Clinton called for lowering corporate tax rates to global competitive levels, as doing so actually increased revenuees under his watch (with a Republican Congress).
Further, the Dems' offer of $2 trillion over 10 years is largely fictional (double counting previously planned war cost reductions, plus the debt interest thereon, plus other savings not to begin for another 4-5 years), but the Economist made no examination into these issues. Shoddy work. The "shame" is on The Economist.
Since when is $14.3 trillion in debt an "affordable 65%" of $14.7 trillion in GDP?
Finally, the Economist learns that a spade is indeed a spade.
"I put all my money in cash yesterday. The Republicans are just plan mad in my book and capable of driving us over the cliff."
I hope that wasn't U.S. Bills, unless you're thinking you're gonna run out of toilet paper.
American tax laws now mean that middle income Americans are paying a far larger share of the country's total tax revenue than they were 50 years ago.
Here's an examination of how America's legislators have shifted the burden of taxation from wealthy individuals and corporations to "middle America" resulting in a far lower overall tax take from those who can most afford it:
Were it not for the electoral college the Republicans would not exist!!! The only thing they are good at is conniving with corporations and reeling in the back country uneducated voters whom they heard like sheep.
The Republicans don't seem to understand that we Americans can see their economic brutality that they want to inflict on us non millionaires.
"Republicans, driven on by the wilder-eyed members of their party and the cacophony of conservative media, are clinging to the position that not a single cent of deficit reduction must come from a higher tax take. This is economically illiterate and disgracefully cynical."
The argument goes that the rich and large corporations find the loopholes to avoid (mostly just limit in reality) paying taxes. Raising the tax rates simply results in the honest non-loophole finding public paying more in taxes, while those that currently dodge simply dodge even harder. Raising taxes is NOT the answer!!! The answer is simplifying the tax code so that a lawyer and accountant don't have to be present to interpret it when deciding whether or not to pay. We could remove tax breaks while lowering tax rates and bring in larger tax receipts. Then again why not just raise the tax rates and put all the honest small guys that make a decent buck out of business…why not…
The Economist is filled with pragmatists from the centre. When the Republicans do something stupid on the right, they call it out, when the Democrats do something stupid on the left, they call it out. They do both frequently. Its the fun part of being in the center. Also, its nice to see a newspaper that is a little less biased (and smarter) than most.
Oh, and never mind the mistakes in the comment. This is, as usual, no more than an unchecked first draft of a proper comment. And it will continue to be this way until the Economist introduces a threaded comment structure in which not just those comments which are posted first have a decent chance to actually be read by the majority of comment readers.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
There is a sort function right below the "add a comment" box, if you're tired of reading the oldest posts first. They do need to add spell check to the comment box and an edit feature to the posts so that we can go correct errors after the fact.
John KL,
Good catch. The Economist just posted Government debt stats last week that had the US's debt in the 90+ % of GDP range. This author was probably too busy slapping an inflammatory title on his article to read the stats posted by his own magazine.
Whatever happened to the report and recommendations of President Obama's bipartisan DEBT commission?
Absent comprehensive tax and entitlement reform (each will raise revenue by broadening the tax base, and the latter will slow the growth of entitlement spending), the federal government will not be able to solve America's debt problem.

Your hosts, Bill & Kathy Gianino
Bill Gianino's introduced a new menu this summer and I hope most of you have had a chance to visit us and try some of our new dishes. We have had an overwhelmingly positive response to our new additions but we realize we have disappointed a few valued guests as well. The most popular new dishes are the Beer-Battered Asparagus, Steamed Mussels, all the new Gourmet Pizzas and the addition of more sandwiches like the Chicken Spedini or the Steak Modiga sandwiches. The most popular disappointment????? The removal of the Cavatelli noodle. Had we known it would have created such a stir, we would never have removed it. So... we are bringing Cavatelli back!!!!! It can be requested in any pasta dish we serve, simply request it. When the menu is updated, we will bring it back permanently. Our goal with the changes was to update and bring some new excitement to our menu. We certainly didn't want to bring on any disappointment. Forgiven???? Moving forward, I want Bill Gianino's guests to feel free to contact me with any suggestions or concerns. Just drop me an email at email@example.com or give me a call at 314-892-6326. Your feedback is very important to me and all of us at Bill Gianino's. Until next time, Julie

How much do you earn over a week?.
ehh. maybe 3 – 5 days. it depends on skill, and luck.
A week
about 3 days
I'd say about a month, maybe more time… It took me a month or less to get 500 cheese. I just save mine up.
Originally posted by Tigerswift:Damn this game is long with getting cheese they should have like 5 cheese for who goes into a holeooo 1st 2nd or 3rd srsly we need to get fast cheese _
took me 2 and a half weeks to get 500 cheez :D
i know somone who got 500 cheese in 1 week and then got to 600 then made a tribe. But i think bootcamp if you win you should get 2 or 3 cheese at least some cheese.
About 10 days for 500 cheese. The best get about 530 cheese a day!
about 90% for me is 2 days..
it takes me about a week are two
about 4 days
It must be a 1st 2nd and 3rd prices like 1st- 5 cheese 2nd- 4 cheese 3rd- 3 cheese and thats even good and why they not updated the cheese 1st 2nd and 3rd why why maybe they not updated cause someone want to hack maybe or lol its april fools already?
Back when I was fully addicted, I got 500 in just four days of pure determination. Now days, i'm lucky to get 50 a day

lol Are you hacker or just a noob hacker tell me O_O (Only 3000 cheese can handle the 3000 cheese)
lemme check by Calculator. 3 minutes makes 1 cheese. (depends when you fail or not). 3 minutes is 180 seconds. and 1 level generated, if you multiply 180 on 500, it will take 90000 seconds. so yea. 90000 seconds is 500 cheese. (plus when you logout)

Hello, Carol: I am Robert Leibold, of Fayetteville, Arkansas. I was named for my great-grandfather Robertus Leybold, who was born on June 7, 1866 in Lautlingen (near Burladingen) Schwarzwaldkreis, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Robertus' father, Christian Leybold, was born in 1841 in the same German state, Lautlingen, and was married in 1863 to Magdalena Kramer. Robertus' grandfather, Josef Leybold, was born in 1815, again, in Lautlingen, and married Catherina Roth (born in 1819) in 1840. My great-grandfather's surname, "Leybold," was apparently altered in spelling upon entry into the United States, and is now spelled "Leibold," and often incorrectly pronounced "Lee-bold." Hope this helps a bit. I'm currently trying to dig further into great-grandpa's past. I'll let you know if I learn anything. Notify Administrator about this message?

Despite its odd behavior, the summer weather performed well in the role of "temperate" for Citadel Theatre Company's 1st Annual Summer Gala held at the David Adler-designed Mundelein cottage of Lake Forest residents Nancy and Adrian Smith on July 19.
"This is the first outdoor function that we've had, certainly at this level," said Scott Phelps, Citadel co-founder, of the festivities that included a performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
As supporters of Citadel Theatre since they decided on a whim to see one of its productions a few years ago, the Smiths invited more than 300 guests to wander about their home and enjoy dinner, live music and the Shakespearean production on their lawn overlooking about 3,000 rolling acres of open lands.
"We do theater hikes, outreach to senior centers and have North Chicago, Zion, Waukegan schools to come in and see our plays; so funds will support those outreach efforts, as well as well as our educational offerings and the main stage," Phelps said. The event ultimately raised $45,000 to support Citadel programs.
Scott and wife Ellen Phelps, both Lake Forest residents, founded the Lake Forest theater in 2002 out of necessity. They explained that they grew tired of the long trek to the city required when they wanted to enjoy professional theater.
Today, the Citadel produces dramas, comedies, new works, contemporary and classical selections, and has since moved from the basement of the Gorton Community Center into a renovated, 150-seat theater at Lake Forest High School's West Campus at 300 S. Waukegan Road.
The allure of both the cottage and its owners — Nancy, an esteemed artist, and Adrian, the world-renowned architect who designed the Trump Tower in Chicago and the tallest building in the world in Dubai — helped attract a sizeable and enthusiastic crowd that seemed eager to bid on auction items that included a 7-night Mediterranean yachting voyage, Therese Crowe custom jewelry and premium box club tickets for the Chicago White Sox.
Guests that evening also enjoyed music from the Joe Freer Quintent and Rafael Mendez & the Fabulous Houserockers, entertainment from actors on stilts and in wings and a tented-dinner.
Citadel's fall season opens with "Death Trap" on Sept. 5. For more information, call (847) 735-8554 or see citadeltheatre.org.

2014 Grammy Awards Winners – Full List
The first of the 2014 Grammy Awards winners was announced during the pre-show ceremony, but country fans had to wait until almost 7PM to celebrate.
The first of the 2014 Grammy Awards winners was announced during the pre-show ceremony, but country fans had to wait until almost 7PM to celebrate.
Will the real Joe Diffie please stand up...and come down to Lafayette and play a show?
Check and check.
There are selfies ... and then there are selfies like this one!
With over 50 No. 1 hits, years and years of touring and a farewell tour that has dates selling out in minutes ... why stop now? George Strait proves he still has it at 61, leading us to believe that the Cowboy Rides Away Tour may not be a farewell after all.
Country curmudgeons looking to blame hip-hop for what they see as the fall of country music have it wrong. Sure, acts like Brantley Gilbert and Jason Aldean are quick to drop rappers alongside country legends when listing influences, but it's the aggressive, unapologetically loud guitar riffs of the '80s that are truly shaping the format today.
This fella named George Strait (probably a newcomer) is coming play a show in Louisiana and he told us to give you tickets. You don't want them do you? Yeah, didn't think so...
Jason Aldean has something up his sleeve. The singer revealed he has a big announcement coming on Jan. 9 and shared two photo teasers, which provide clues about what he is planning to reveal.
The competition in the Artist of the Year category at the 2013 American Country Awards (Dec.10) was tough, populated by the likes of Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton and more.

I'm surprised at the negative results I have had excellent results with this foundation. It is so smooth and light. It blends so easily into my skin as well and matches perfectly. I use the fairest color shell and I really like it. I have no problem controlling the pump. I find gentle pressure gives you exactly what you need.
I use a blending sponge and I love how easy it blends it doesn't look like I'm wearing foundation and that I like. I would say it's a product either you hate or love. For me I love it and would repurchase.

More reviews by OvErDoSeDoNbEaUtii
This make up is OK, im not in love though. I don't like the lack of control when pumping, I always end up with too much make up. It goes give a dewy glowy look, it does have shimmer, the shimmer doesn't really bother my in person but some might find it un natural the coverage isn't like woah but its ok coverage wise..photo wise in some pictures while wearing it, I look fine, in other pictures I feel like I look sweating...which A: isn't cute and not a good look and B: it had to of been the shimmer/sheen and the flash from the camera coming together or something. because I was far from being sweating. Overall I wouldn't buy it again.
-can't think of any
-hard to control how much comes out
-smells so bad (I don't know if it's just me, or just the shade i have, which is shell 02. I would not use my blush brush to apply my brush just cause I don't want it to smell like this product.
-my face becomes unnaturally glittery
-slight water/moisture and it's gone/ it fades
I bought this product while abroad because I needed one asap and I should've just chosen a cheaper one, for sure it would have been better. This is one of the worst I've tried.
I saw this product and thought I would try it out. First of all its hard to control the amount that comes out so you end up having more then you need. Second right after I applied to my face it just got super cakey and it was super noticeable. Third I spent about $15 on it and have found way better foundation for cheaper. All in all I was very disappointed in this product and would never buy it again
I feel like this is the worst foundation i'v ever had... even when I use a tiny amount of it, it goes on cakey... adding water to it destroys it. The canister is hard to control and gets messy. I'm going to replacce this with Revlon Colorstay ASAP!!! I used it before, and its lovely. Wanted to try something new from a great company like Revlon, but not a smart choice. Stay Away!!!
Not impressed with this foundation. My biggest issue was that the lightest shade was a bit too dark for me. It wasn't horribly noticeable, but I would prefer a closer match. Also, even with primer, my t-zone was greasy after 3-4 hours. And lastly, it was expensive for a drugstore foundation, over $10. I've paid less for much better foundations. The one thing I did love about this foundation was the finish- it looked extremely natural on my skin. I can see it working on drier skin types that are not as pale as I am. I won't repurchase by any means, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a friend with a different skin type than mine.
More reviews by Heforeverlives
A lot of the other reviews aren't doing this product the justice it deserves....I used to hate Revlon products in all honesty, but then I saw this I just had to try it. I bought it in vanilla tone(lightest) because I am basically the whitest person ever. Being so white, I have a hard time finding products that don't make my skin appear orange. I've tried every foundation and powder combination you could possibly think of. I finally figured out the best setting power for my skin is translucent, and I do not use a powder with any color pigment. When I use this product I pump approximately the size of a quarter in my hand, I dab the product on problem areas for better coverage, and then lightly rub the rest evenly on my face(don't forget the start of the neck, caked face and white neck= fail) next I apply Revlon's photo ready airbrush translucent powder on top of the foundation. This results in a flawless complexion and for my fair maidens such as myself, no orange spots. This product is worth trying again if you did not use my method, or if you are fair skinned like myself.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So i've never tried a Revlon foundation product before, but i've heard better things about this one then the Maybelline airfoam. First of all, it smells bad. Like really bad. Second of all, the pump is very hard to control. However, i do like the coverage it gave me. I don't really have skint with a lot of imperfections so this was the perfect formula for me. I do have oily skin, but i like how this managed to kind of dry matte. However, it caked below my eyes and showed lines that i don't really have because i'm only 13! i would not repurchase but it was nice to try out.
A new great produt revlon has made. I love the airbrishing. It belnds in very well and a I baught a cfolour that gives a slight glowly tan. It's great for cfameras and photos, when my photos wrere deeloped and the videos I made or youtube, or even a night to dine out it is good for I was surprised how this makeup worked very well, like magic and it stays for more than 8+ hours.
I have been a fan of the revlon photoready liquid makeup, so naturaly when this version came out I was excited to try it. Before then I had been seeing several "mousse" foundations on market, but had restrained from buying because they wernt in drugstore brands I thought i could trust. The foundation is not really what i would consider a "mousse." Though im fine with that. When I first sprayed out the product into my hand I was so excited, the consistency of it was like a frothy cream, but once I started applying it to my face, it loses the foamyness & morphs into a soft textured liquid foundation, which was dissapointing to me. It blends very nicely & feels thick enough, but not too much to where it heavy on my skin. Its about a medium coverage. The one thing I liked the most about it is how it lasted. One of my biggest problems with most liquid foundations is how it starts to get oily then smears & rubs off with just the lightest touch from something, but with this foundation it stayed perfectly put without being like a mask. To me it looks natural in some places but not on others. On place where my skin is more tight like my nose it looked a little like an average foundation half blended- half sitting on my skin. But on soft areas like my cheeks it covered imperfections looking like I was wearing no makeup at all. Its a good foundation, but not good enough to be one of my favorites. I prefer my original liquid photoready, the only thing I like about this one better compared to the original, is the dewyness on my skin. It left it more natural & less matte than my liquid photoready.

State employees injured by carnival trailer wreck
WESTMINSTER An East Calais woman was one of two state employees injured Tuesday afternoon when a box truck hauling a carnival cotton candy trailer jackknifed on Interstate 91 and hit their car.
Vermont State Police said Patricia Ethier, 44, was driving the state Department of Labor car and Aaron Lewis, 38, no address given, was her passenger. Both were taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. According to a state employee directory, both work for the Department of Labor in Montpelier.
A spokeswoman at the hospital said she could not confirm whether either was a patient there.
Police said both were wearing their seat belts.
Police said a box truck driven by Karl Blanton, of Lenoir, N.C., was southbound on Interstate 91 at about 1:45 p.m. when it left the road.
Both northbound and southbound traffic was reduced to one lane until the two state employees were freed from their vehicle, a Ford Fusion. Rescue workers cut the top off the vehicle, police said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermonts state auditor is asking lawmakers to beef up the information consumers can...

B'reysheet: Operating Instructions for the Third Planet
There's an epidemic of breast cancer, according to whatever show it was that I heard on WAMC on the way home tonight (later note: it was Living on Earth). This sure fits what I've seen in these 10+ rabbi years: So many women getting breast cancer, and so many surviving it too, thank God. I […]

Go Cubbies (if not now, then when?)

Tisha B'Av
Another Tisha b'Av has come and gone. When I was a little kid I knew most of the Jewish holidays (maybe not Lag B'Omer, and not the various fasts), but I didn't meet Tisha b'Av until I was at camp. For one thing, it falls in the summer (in the northern hemisphere), so Sunday School […]

Smoke and Mirrors? Or not?
So Natalie Portman talked about an impressive micro-credit success story. Now I want to know: How typical is the success of that woman? I've loved microcredit, loved what I've heard about its success in poverty-stricken nations. But there are some hard questions that are being asked about it, and about Muhammad Yunis and Grameen Bank […]

The show was called "The View" and the guest was named Natalie Portman. You probably know who she is; I'd heard of her, that's all. Nice face, even if airbrushed-perfect. They were talking about micro-credit and Muhammad Yunis (see good article here at OpenDemocracy.net). Ms. Portman gave an example of a woman she met in […]

Tazria-Metsorah: Deeply at ease
It's the dreaded double Torah portion, the one that no bar/bat mitzvah wants: Purity and impurity, childbirth and leprosy, arcane rituals of purification. So naturally the young man who is celebrating bar mitzvah tonight and tomorrow read the parashah (portion) thoughtfully and carefully, and in the end taught me some entirely new ways of looking […]

More Post-Pesach Discipline: Sh'mini
I led our Renewal Service on Shabbat morning and was really struck with the way that the Torah portion fed into (pun intended) an awareness of discipline that now seems to me to permeate the week after Pesach. It's the portion of the deaths of Nadav and Avihu. These young men have just finished being […]

For the first time, Roger shares his recollections of playing some of the world's most famous roles alongside a host of legendary stars. With myriad stories from his personal life - from his childhood in London and experiences during the Second World War, to the happy and turbulent times in his later life. Along with anecdotes about his encounters with the stars and his wonderful memories from the heyday of Hollywood. "My Word is My Bond" is as frank, funny and disarmingly charming as the legend himself. Read Less

Hey guys i have been lurking around here for a long time but never have posted anything. I have a florida-king peach tree that has been in ground for about 3 years. This year is the first year that i kinda figured out the pruning,fertilizer, etc and had blooms and baby peaches but something is eating the baby peaches. There is clear hard like sap stuff next to the bites. I haven't seen anything on the tree so I am stumped. Any help would be so much appreciated :) Diane |

I hope you fare better than I did, I really do. You are further north so maybe that will work to your advantage. Four yrs ago I got ambitious and planted two Tropic Beauty low cool hour peach trees. Had to dig them up and give them away 3 yrs later, had no idea peach trees had so many critters that would literally commit suicide to have a chance at pecking away and destroying the majority of those luscious fruits. . The birds were the worst, despite the netting which was a major ordeal installing as the trees flew taller,..larger birds would fly underneath and wind up gasping and flapping their wings on a branch deep inside the netting, as they expired after their Kami Kazi attacks. Some with longer beaks would somehow manage to grasp the tip of a branch just inside the netting and then poke his beak inside, penetrating and destroying the peaches. Your green sample looks like one of them. Like I said, being further north ( I am in zone 10a ), you may not have the problems I did. I love my peaches but after almost 4 years I just had to lighten my load as I am a one man show here. GOOD LUCK !!!! |

At least someone feels my pain lol. I have had a heck of a time with my tree. First year of course not much happening but new growth and then the second year i had something happening with the trunk. there was damage and sap leaking out. i am assuming it was some kind of borer? No sign of that this year but now this! I was so excited this year cause i actually had baby peaches and they didn't fall off as soon as they started growing. I am getting kinda frustrated cause it seems like i have to have a different kind of spray for every little thing and spray it at exactly the right time. I am considering just putting some more fig trees cause lord knows i can grow those and they are so easy! Thanks again for the moral support :) |

I have a UF Sun peach that has been in the ground for about 18 months. Last summer it in leaps and bounds and I had a bumper crop this spring (still some on the tree). The problem I have is fruit flies. The flies lay their eggs in the fruit and when the maggot comes out leaves a little hole. Even if the peaches look good when I pick them I find they have fruit fly larvae already in the fruit. Next year I am going to have to spray them with something much as I hate to. |

The double puncture might be the indents from rodent front teeth - or perhaps a bird's beak? |
Get some organza bags on amazon/ebay and then tighten one around each peach. That should keep most all critters away. |

Laura1, STOP ! Nothing worse than fruit flies, IMHO anyway. But before you spend time, money & effort on spraying chemicals ( enough already - am sure you will agree ), please consider pouring 6 - 8 ounces of Apple Cider Vinegar into an old pickle jar that has 6, 7 small holes poked into the metal cover with an ice pick ! Then tie a string around cap & hang on a branch. Hope you can see the jar hanging in the middle of pic. Nuff said,,..there's another, more detailed blog on GW you can reference,..just type in " Fruit Flies " or " FF's on Mangos ", etc. It works,..much less work,..try it, you'll like it ! ( smile ) |

Diane, You may wish to take a look at a thread in the Fruit & Orchards forum, linked below . It is about Oriental Fruit Moths (OFM) and peaches. I hope your problem is not OFM but here's the info, just in case. Carol in Jacksonville |
Here is a link that might be useful: Extreme OFM pressure
Laura, I took Jofus's advise and did the jar thing on my papaya and it worked great. Had a jar full of fruit flies in no time and nice papayas. :o) I now have them hanging in my mango tree. |
I just got a dwarf peach tree, and it has baby peaches. Because there are only a few I'm not going to pull them. I went to a crafts store and bought organza bags in the bridal section and tied each peach in one. Now that I know about the vinegar jar I'll make one but since the tree is in a huge blue pot I'll just park the jar under the leaves. Thanks ! |
- Posted by wakullagirl23 8b (My Page) on Thu, May 22, 14 at 19:08
Thanks for all the help guys. I will definitely be trying the bags suggestion. Carol I looked at the link you suggested and someone had mentioned cucurlio on there and i think that is what is causing the little holes and sap.Thanks again everyone :) |
jofus- thanks for the information! I will try your method next year...but may need it on figs. Since my last post I found out that there is really nothing insecticide -wise that works for fruit flies. |

I'm afraid it's that time for all of us in British Columbia to start thinking about who we are going to vote for in the provincial election this spring. It's not a decision that I'm taking lightly, especially when I think about what the future holds for the younger members of my family.
One thing I would like to say, however, is how appalled I am about the unfair treatment Premier Christy Clark seems to get. Why this is so, I don't really know. But she does not seem to be getting a fair shake at all.
But then, putting on my sexist hat, perhaps it's not very surprising. As a woman myself, and having worked and competed in a man's world, it once again demonstrates to me that a woman must juggle home, work and perception on a daily basis in a way that her male counterparts never have to.
And of all the women who have ever been put in a leadership position in our country, from Prime Minister to Premier, none has ever been able to demonstrate fully what they could do. They've only been treated a stop gap for the next male leader. For once, I would really like to see what a woman could do with her vision of our future.
That's why I've decided to support Christy Clark, and one of my main reasons is that she has started on a path that leads her government and our Province in a direction I would like to see reach completion. As a daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother, I've seen how we've gotten to where we are now and I'm anxious for a change.
So, let's see what Christy Clark can do. Not only do I feel I can trust her, it's also clear to me that she is genuinely, and truly focused on creating jobs for the younger members of our society, and that is something they can literally take to the bank.

We are doing the Best That We Could Do For 2013 this morning…playing back some of the better moments of the year as voted by the Rock-A-Holics…this morning we played a moment that all of us agreed was one of the coolest moments ever. What moment was that? Here…watch…
To be a few feet away from Kevin martin as he sang "Far Behind" was a moment I will never forget. It was one of those goose bump moments! Apparently we weren't alone as these texts came in this morning about it…
Guys That was amazing! All choked uo hearing that song this morning. Thank You! Kristen
This is the 1st time im hearing this acoustic version of Far Behind. Its giving me chills so bad right now! Great way to start the work day! Long live Andrew Wood!
That was amazing, I'm crying, RIP Lindsay
I would have left anyone kick me in nuts as hard as they can, just to have sat in on that performance.
It's funny…last night I was going through some old stuff, and came across something that brought be back to being a teen…. Back in the day, before the internet, Pearl Jam used to mail stuff to their fan club, The Ten Club. I came across a ton of old letters I got from them that were post marked in 1992! I scanned one of the letters…it's a trip to read this…as they talk about the Sonics in the finals, etc. I still pinch myself when I have moments where I am b.s'ing with Mike McCready or dealing with the Pearl jam camp in general…that band has had such an important impact on my life since I was a teen…and to be able to work with them from time to time is beyond cool.

During the Camp children and families of RTA employees were treated to a plethora of activities and events, which were attended by about 200 participants.
Kawthar kadhim, Director of RTA Human Resources & Development, said, "On the first day of the event, a visual presentation was made to educate children on the key achievements made by the RTA and various mass transit means operating in Dubai. The children were then escorted in a metro ride to know more about the metro and how to use it along with other activities practiced by children on the same day such as drawing and colouring on various RTA public transport means."
"On the second day of the event, RTA buses lifted the participants to the Hobbies Club at Al-Aweer in a day packed with events & activities including cartoons characters fancied by kids in order to give them more entertain and fun. Events also included horse-riding, motor-biking, shooting, handicraft workshop, and a soapy playground," elaborated Kawther.
Concluding her remarks, Kawther reiterated RTA's commitment to stage various types of entertainment, social, scientific and health events & activities with the aim of improving the practical, social, health and psychological life of employees together with their families in a way that reflects positively on their career and daily performance, which will ultimately boost RTA's standing and enhance the quality of its service offering across all community segments.

Neuromarketing is a new scientific approach to marketing. This is a research method based solely on the science of brain response to specific verbal and visual stimuli.
Neuromarketing can be used in most aspects of advertising and marketing, right down to the color of packaging a specific product should be displayed with.
Controlled testing for neuromarketing could consist of brain scans of an individual while they are exposed to various colors, numbers, patterns and many other visual and audio stimuli. The scientist performing the testing will often pay individuals to participate in this testing and will then analyze the results, and turn them over to the funding company.
You'll find bloggers talking about neuromarketing at sites like Marketing PR Suite 101 and Neuro Critic.
