More on Disney Baby
Create magical moments with these inspired ideas and feel-good products.
Amani's First Lovey
Thanks to Disney for sponsoring this post and giving me a Dumbo plush for free.
Let's be honest: I love giraffes. Absolutely adore them. Ever since my oldest was a baby, almost eight years ago, I've always introduced a stuffed giraffe as their first lovey. You know, just until they can form their own opinions about which animal is their favorite. With Amani being my first ever DisneyBaby from birth, it only felt right that we introduce her to the magic of a Disney lovey first.
Sweet as can be, baby of mine! I loved receiving a sweet Dumbo plush in a surprise happy mail package along with some other adorable Dumbo goodies. Amani, meet Dumbo! She seriously loved it. She began grabbing at it and wrapped her arms around it when I placed it in her lap. Then she did what she's been doing with everything lately — she grabbed Dumbo's wonderful big ears and shoved them in her mouth. Teething, maybe?
Amani and her Dumbo have been the best of friends. She cuddles with him in the car, stares at him intently during tummy time, and continues to gnaw on those soft, floppy ears.
While Dumbo may not be a giraffe, they are part of the same circus… and that's okay by me.
Which Disney Lovey did you first introduce to your baby?

adidas Gives the RGIII Boost Trainer a Hometown Colorway
For the time being, the Washington Redskins still have their name, and according to owner Dan Snyder, the organization has no plans to change despite the controversy surrounding it. While it still remains uncertain whether the Redskins will retain their name, their colors aren't going anywhere, so it's only fitting adidas gives the RGIII Boost Trainer a hometown look.
Following the debut colorway of the RGIII Boost Trainer in a mix of black and white zig zags, this colorway channels Griffin's Redskins. The shoe boasts strays away from the pattern upper and does it up in an all Burgundylook with Infrared touches through the branding and is finished off with a White midsole and Gum bottoms. Chances are adidas will avoid the controversy and give these a nickname other then "Redskins" but it's clear where the inspiration for this latest colorway was drawn from.
Unfortunately there's no release date just yet, but considering the Redskin's inspired colorway expect these to hit shelves right around the start of the NFL season.

I am thinking of some different foodgrade plastic containers to use as fermentors and I made me wonder what everyone else is using besides the standard Carboy's and Ale Pales. Here is a link to what I am looking at:Open Head Drums - US Plastic Corporation I can get a couple of these from work for free. Happy 4th!
I use three sanke kegs for fermenting my 10-12 gallon batches. I use a standard 5 gal glass carboy for apfelwein and small batches. I also have a 7.75 gallon keg for smaller batches. The kegs work great. I want some more.
How are the Kegs configured? Do you have any pictures?
I use a 1/2 keg with the top cut off and a ball valve in the bottom. I just place a large pan lid over the top, so its open ferment. Never had a problem. I do rack as soon as ferment is complete. No leaving it for weeks. <~~~~ this is boil kettle, fermenter looks the same. Switching to a 7 gal conical this weekend. First time out of the box. Still going to brew 10 gal batches, but am trying the no chill thing for the other 5 gals. David
Yellow beer (pale ale) in keg Chocolate stout In keg Front Porch Porter in keg weat beer and fruit in the conical IPA of some kind on Deck! I get more out of it when I put more into it. :)
I use the ale pales, but I also use this 15 gallon malt extract barrel.
I'm lazy, I've been fermenting in my kettle. Chill and pitch, ferment 10 - 12 days and keg. I do seal it up well w/ the lid, a plastic bag and a string. Don't laugh too hard till you try it.

Since this hasn't been answered yet, I thought I will suggest going through every binary you can find provided with the exported game and run i.e $ ldd ./mono.so This should at least provide you with lists of what the game needs to link to at runtime. Run the lists through the I am going to be doing this shortly before I create some .rpms for our games, I will post my findings here :). EDIT: Sorry for the delay. I lost this thread when the Unity forums had that large change a while back.
Basically the dependencies pulled in by Unity is impressively small. All of them are provided by Linux standard base (LSB), X11 or the implementation of OpenGL. This makes a nice change and should certainly help a game exported by Unity run on the many different Linux distributions (for a while anyway). The provided libmono.so doesn't pull in anything extra either. I don't believe there are any external libraries loaded dynamically either so this is pretty much it :) FYI: Unity Editor (tested 4.2.0f4) is also working very nicely in Wine for me with the following guide: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28175 If you had trouble before, give it another shot with the latest version of Wine :) @k.pedersen did you ever figure out the dependencies?

Leonardo expects Becks to cope
10 Mar 2010 - 08:58:16
AC Milan coach Leonardo has backed David Beckham to cope with his "special" return to Manchester United.
Beckham, 34, will line up against the club he supported as a boy and spent the first 10 years of his career in Wednesday's second leg of a Champions League's last 16 tie.
The former England midfielder has not made a competitive club appearance at Old Trafford since leaving for Real Madrid in 2003.
He started the first leg in Italy which United won 3-2 three weeks ago but Leonardo would not be drawn on reports that Beckham will be on the bench on Wednesday night.
However, he does not believe the veteran midfielder will struggle to cope with the unique demands of a match against his former club.
Beckham was greeted by hoards of friendly fans when he touched down at Manchester airport on Tuesday morning.
"For Beckham, it is obviously something special to have the opportunity to play against Manchester United given his history at the club," said Leonardo.
"When we saw the draw we knew it would be an unbelievable situation for him.
"But knowing David, and his attitude, I am sure he can cope. And independent of that, he is very important for the group as a whole and we are always grateful for his presence."

I am happily married to a picky eater. I have a step-daughter, and 2 sons. I enjoy cooking for others and I love to bake. I used to enter an annual local cooking contest, where I placed a couple of times. I love to make new friends! I love to do papercrafts, especially scrapbooking and cardmaking. I have a bad habit of collecting cookbooks. I have always wanted to assemble my own cookbook, have started a number of times, but never succeeded. I am hoping that this site solves that problem for me!
I LOVE food! There is only one thing that I have come across in my life that I will NOT eat, and that is Salmon!!! YUCK!!!
When going to family dinners it is always requested that I make bbq beans. If it is around the holidays they also expect me to bring my homemade candies.

What would you use as a primer for 100 year old wood shutters that are a combination of bare wood, old oil-based paint, and roughly 10 year old latex paint? The latex is only on the fronts and sides. The backs haven't been touched in decades. I'm dealing with the peeling paint as best I can, but not completely in the crevices, especially on the backs. I'm thinking one of these: Slow drying oil primer (my original choice until I realized I couldn't strip them completely) Or is there something else? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Alkyd (oil) primer would be preferred, especially for old wood on exterior uses. Try to scrape as much of the latex off as possible. |

I agree with brickeyee - a good alkyd based primer is really the only way to penetrate seasoned wood. Pigmented shellacs are always tempting because they also penetrate well, and dry in 15 minutes. However, shellac can crack in really cold weather. If possible, strip to bear wood. You never know what has been done in the past. Shutters can be tough, but because they are seasoned wood, you could remove the paint using steam. |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Sat, Jun 8, 13 at 18:14
slow dry oil for sure sw or bm both make good ones |
OK, that was easy. Thanks. |
- Posted by liriodendron (My Page) on Sat, Jun 8, 13 at 22:52
Strongly suggest using steam; it works really well on tricky, crevice-y surfaces. You'll still need to go over them with a variety of sharp knives, but at least the paint will be soft. L. |

Ok, so I had 46' of 3/8 copper tubing coiled up on a shelf in the garage I've had for about 7 months. I got it so I could build a still but it turned out to be more expensive a build than I want right now so I just figured I'd make a counter current wort chiller out of the copper instead. AND HERE IT IS!!!!!! 22oz of a pleasant, gentle and lighter beer beside it for scale. Anyhow, got the thing put together and it's kinda floppy... (not to mention the solder joints look like HELL!!! Cold weather + skills you aren't good at to begin with = near disaster. ) What should I use to keep it rigid? What kind of straps should I get? Can't wait to try it out!!! Hope I can chill at full pump speed!!!
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's as good as they're going to feel all day." -Dean Martin
46 feet should work really well. I would think standard electrical tie wraps should keep it together nicely. As for your other idea, go with a fractionation tower type. Far superior results.
This place really went to hell. Follow the OF standard stout. Bye.
Wow, with 46 feet you could easily have made two of them! at least you won't have to worry about how fast you pump your wort... if anything, I'd expect you might have trouble with OVER-chilling, rather than under-chilling... Should be a fun toy!
The only downside is leaving wort behind in the longer coil.
I found that with 25' of 3/8" o.d. copper, the flow was slow and I couldn't run the cooling water through it slow enough for it come out hot. I've resorted to pumping it through the chiller quickly, and it's just about right. You should be able to pump the wort very quickly through it, though 50' may offer noticable resistance. You may consider investing in just a couple more fittings and splitting it in 2. You could even make a couple bucks
It's all hinged on the coolant water temp. In the winter, you can pump the wort full speed through while running the coolant slowly. In the summer, when my tap hits 85F, there's no flow combination that will make the wort less than 85 obviously. That's when the icewater gets used.
Nice job! You will be happy the first time you use it. Make sure to clean and sanitize it when you are done!
Never trust a man who doesnt drink

Petition to be rid of the constant trolling of Bonita Calhoun aka MistyBlueDawn
We, the undersigned posters of Happy Hour, AHH & Postpourri do hereby make formal request that you once again remove the poster Bonita Calhoun, who you once before closed all accounts of for "trolling". At that time her primary account was "MistyWoman44". AOL Team told her to never come back. The person trolls with the intent of baiting and insulting all other posters. She uses responses to her baiting for the purpose of closing the accounts of other posters. Bonita Calhoun has no less than a dozen troll names at all times and her purpose for use of message boards is solely for the purpose of trolling, fighting and reporting others for TOS Violations. She did this in the past and AOL closed all of her accounts. She was not supposed to return to AOL nor to the AOL Message Boards...but has and is once again operating as a prolific troll. We, the undersigned, plead that AOL will investigate, verify the truth of this accusation and her history, and please remove her from our and your community.

Posted by Erik Manassy on Sep 16, 2011 in Main, News | 0 comments
nflwhispers Jags starting WR Jason Hill (hip) is doubtful. So there is a 75 percent chance he won't play. 9/16/11 2:33 PM |
nyjets #AL Rex Ryan responding to comments by Jaguars WR Jason Hill: "The best corner in football, and it's not close, is Darrelle Revis." 9/16/11 1:25 PM |
So if Jason Hill is doubtful AND no one has ever heard of this guy, why the heck is he mouthing off and trashing Darrelle Revis. Hilarious. Well, he is their top receiver and Darrelle knows who he is… BUT Dude, you would have gotten owned if you were out there.

Kohl's to sell special Derek Lam line
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. (AP) — Kohl's Department Stores said Monday that it will soon sell a special collection by designer Derek Lam.
The company is one of a number of national retailer chains to add popular designers to its mix in an effort to draw a wider array of customers.
Kohl's said Lam is the second designer to produce a line for Kohl's "DesigNation" limited-edition collection. Its first collection by Narciso Rodriguez will launch Nov. 7. The retailer also carries a specialty line by Vera Wang.
The Derek Lam collection will be available in April and include women's apparel and swimwear inspired by Lam's time in Brazil. The products will be priced between $36 and $98.
The company said it will launch multiple DesigNation collections throughout the year, with each featuring a different designer and a collection that shows the influence of their experiences in various international destinations.
Kohl's, based in Menomonee Falls, Wis., operates 1,134 stores in 49 states.
Shares of the company fell 62 cents to $52.20 in midday trading Monday, as the broader markets declined.

Well, there's no doubt that Chicago is becoming a virtual goldmine for filming...Quite a lot of movies getting shot at that location over the past year. But I agree with the landmark comments. ... Btw...I wonder if the Australian government will allow George Miller to film Mad Max 4 (his next project after JLM) there. Or if George will even try to film it there given his current gripes.
http://www.mania.com/justice-league-america_article_55906.html Why yes, Hanso...yes, he is. :) And he's in the upcoming Star Trek reboot...Probably multiple picture deal. In fact...Yelchin likely has a multiple picture deal with WB for Terminator now, a multiple picture deal with WB for Justice League..and a multiple picture deal with Paramount for Trek. This kids gonna be as busy as Shia in the next few years.
I just wrote it over at our forums but I haven't had a change to read Childhood's End yet...I'm gonna pick it up this week, Sony. But damn it if I didn't read Rendezvous so many times as a kid that I wore out the book cover multiple times..I've probably bought that book at least 5 times in the past 10 years. Same for Hitchhikers Guide too..Another deceased but never forgotten writer... 42...2001...42...2001...42...2001
Godspeed, Mr. Clarke. You truly were a legendary man of Science Fiction and you made a lasting impact on tools like me. I'll always appreciate your work. Enjoy your journey onward to your new adventure.
Have to say, rghtiger, that the latest press release did reveal more than expected... Still not sure what "Earlier version of Arnold model" mean.. Did it mean an earlier model below T-800...As in something we're already seeing in the Sarah Connor Chronicles...or did it mean the actually T-800 model in earlier version. lol Sometimes, these press releases are not to be trusted..like the whole Star Trek-Ryder playing Human mother ordeal last summer.
I did the same head turning when I saw this story, mla. Raimi has talked about how much of an emotional and time-consuming drain the Spider-Man trilogy was for so many years.. And now, he has a new Fantasy series hitting ABC next year (based on Terry Goodkind's series).. And...this? I'd understand if he was just taking this as a one time deal to lead the new Jack Ryan movie..but the press release implies multiple films all with Raimi set to executive produce and direct. Damn Sam. Spider-Man locked you up for nearly a decade and now you have something for the next decade.
Agreed. I liked how the trade set up a possible venture for a specific Superhero network from Marvel Studios. Obviously, they're just talking about doing full 24 hour marathons with superhero movies on the FX network in the near future.. But if this proves successful...as in highly profitable, I can definitely see Marvel Studios getting into television specifically to bring together a niche satelite channel sometime in the near future.
We talking about the Supermans story? Yeah, I know...After the 14th article on Superman, I just began to understand that Merin, myself and only a few others like it against the vast majority that hate it. We do have a lot of SR fans at the forums so that's something.. It happens everytime I write up any article that has Superman and Bryan Singer included.. We all have our opinions on this stuff but sometimes, it gets way too personal for some. There's some that respect differences of opinion....hence Merin is sticking around us Transformers fans (me) when he knows I might be contagious and there's others who just can't keep it from getting personal. As the old saying goes...It happens...What happens? Shit happens.. :) And Michael, I'm going to steaaaaal your crayon box so you can't plot as much and must come by here more often..Be prepared, sir. Be very prepared.
Checked it, Mla. When did you send it? I got some of your January messages about the Halo project but that's it.. You have my email too right? jarrodhsarafin at yahoo and firstname.lastname@example.com And Duh on my part, Collector..I didn't respond specifically above. Send me an email with ideas and I'll be happy to pass them along to my bosses. Or write them here. I know the powers that be read these here blogs from you fellow Maniacs.
lol I'm here, Collector. But I tend to zone out on the weekends when you shot your email. I spend so much time online during the week that I go watch TV or play poker on Saturdays. I just saw your email a few minutes ago, butthead. :) And yep, that's my personal email. I think I gave it to you direct a few months back on one of your blogs...Or was it my blog? Man, my memory's killing me. Checking messages now mla.

I'm a big fan of Tresor EDP, parfum, lotion and body cream, lightly applied.
Apricot, peach, rose, amber, vanilla. Tresor in Love is a lighter version
of Tresor, as if Lancome took out 95% of the scent and left 5% - a bit
too light and thin even for me. Nothing special here after the first blast
of scent. I like the bottle - it invites you to spritz-n-go, and fits
right in with the rest of the classic Tresor line. I'm surprised Lancome
is calling this an EDP though, since it's so very light and not especially
long lasting.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love how fresh this smells, but floral at the same time. I love the bottle. The sillage and lasting power are poor on me. I can't really remember the original Tresor, but I do think it was stronger and more long lasting than the new version. I would buy this again to wear in the daytime but I will test the original to see if I prefer it.
I love this! Wasn't too keen on the original 'Tresor' as it is a little strong and it reminds me of the 90's when everyone seemed to be wearing Tresor but this i sgorgeous! It does smell like a fresher, almost fruitier take on the original. The staying power is great-like all Lancomes. I just bought a 30ml bottle today! Try it even if you do not like the original.

More reviews by irenehdezandres
I really want to hear other people's comments on this parfum. My first impression when smelling a sample is "WOW, what a delicious smell" but I have not yet bought it.
Please, give your comments on sillage....is it a long lasting parfum?
Thanks a lot
I like smelling the original Tresor on the right people, I wish I could wear it myself but my body chemistry turns it into peach compote. I tried Tresor in Love for the possibility of an alternative but no. This may be a nice, well-rounded fragrance in its own right but I think of as a better and fuller Ange ou Demon le Secret rather than Tresor's sister. The peach is there but I find the overall composition more bland than I expected. On my skin, it also goes through a phase where it becomes rather heavy before turning creamy. The elegant bottle with a black ribbon is to die for though.

For me, early season is always a great time to work on my turns. I find myself getting rusty over the summer and the first few weeks are a great time to work the kinks out. As the snow start to fall and conditions turn to powder, edging and carving become less important and the focus turns more to balance and stance. While all of these elements are very important to create "the perfect turn", it is nice to get back to the basics and start fresh.
With storm clouds looming on the horizon and a warm gentle breeze blowing, the snow remained soft and forgiving this morning as I made my way down Heavenly Daze. I experienced similar conditions on Vogue and had a blast ripping short swing turns on the quiet slopes. The snow was in great shape and conditions should remain the same throughout the day.
Looking to improve your skiing this year, try taking a private lesson. Spending time with one of the country's best ski or snowboard instructors can greatly improve your skills. Early season is a great time to book one, they can help make your ski season more enjoyable and give you valuable pointers to help improve your performance.
Have a great day on the slopes, work on your turns and continue the quest for the perfect turn!
Think snow, it's coming.

Libyan revolutionary forces prepare final assault
NBC News — Revolutionary forces moved tanks toward the front line wednesday near Bani Walid. They're trying to capture one of Moammar Khaddafy's last enclaves of armed support. Nearly a month after fighters backed by a NATO bombing campaign seized control of Tripoli, Libya's new leaders are still trying to take control of Bani Walid.
The desert town is located about 90 miles southeast of the capital. Militias have been pushing into Bani Walid in recent days but have been forced to retreat after fighting with Khaddafy loyalists. Forces fighting for the National Transitional Council say they're preparing a coordinated military assault in the coming days.

Polyamorists are coming out of the closet.
Non-monogamists have remained largely underground to avoid social disapproval, but increasing national acceptance of Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) relationships have encouraged some polyamory supporters to go public about their growing communities.
Leon Feingold, co-president of Open Love NY and a licensed real estate broker with Masonic Realty, confirmed Tuesday that 13 of 15 apartments have been rented in Brooklyn, NY at Hacienda Villa, an apartment complex dedicated to the polyamorous and to those who accept polyamory.
Feingold told National Review Online that there is "absolutely" a growing trend of openness in the polyamorous community and of accepting attitudes toward it. He added, "A lot of people have misconceptions about what polyamory is."
"Polyamory" does not refer either to polygamy or to a "swinging" lifestyle but to "responsible non-monogamy," Feingold explained. Open Love NY is a New York-based organization for the polyamorous community. It plans various educational and social events for its members and encourages "a public climate in which all forms of consensual adult relationship choices are respected and honored."
A frequently cited estimate of the number of U.S. polyamorous households is 500,000, which first appeared in a 2009 Newsweek article but has since been removed (the article was last updated in July 2011).
Diana Adams, the other co-president of Open Love NY and a founding partner of a New York City law firm serving LGBTQ and non-traditional clients, has worked with polyamorous households. Sometimes she helps draw up agreements between married poly clients to prevent marital problems from arising because of their sexuality.
The policy concerns for poly community generally regard securing domestic partnerships among the members of a polyamorous relationship. Some of Adams's poly clients want to opt out of the adultery ground for divorce and do so in out-of-court contracts.
"At this point, polyamorous people are not seeking to redefine marriage as a whole for all Americans," Adams told NRO. "They are seeking to find stability within existing legal institutions, with creative use of the law as it is now."

The Fuming Fuji Says No to Sports Drinks
Posted By Worker Bee On December 12, 2006 @ 12:15 pm In Humor,Hype,Raising Healthy Children | No Comments
The Fuming Fuji is outraged at the marketing of toxic food, especially when it's aimed at the small fry. This week, the Fuming Fuji has decided to have a serious problem with sports drinks.
But, Fuming Fuji, you ask, aren't sports drinks really healthy, especially for child athletes?
The Fuming Fuji says no!
The claim: Sports drinks replace lost electrolytes…and other stuff.
The catch: Sports drinks are sugar water. Fuming Fuji admits sometimes they also have dye and flavorings.
The comeback: But don't kids need energy drinks, especially if they play sports?
The conclusion: Yes, children who run frequent marathons should drink sports drinks. When I was a young seed, I scuttled uphill both ways in the snow to school every day, and sports drinks really got me through. But 1 in 3 children are obese. 1 in 3 will get diabetes. The Fuming Fuji says sports drinks are less useful than Paris Hilton.
The catchphrase: Diabetes will never be an Olympic sport.
Disclaimer: Mark Sisson and the Worker Bees do not necessarily endorse the views of the Fuming Fuji.

Gypsy (Review)
Covedale production could use a bit more nasty
Rick Pender
0 Comments · Tuesday, April 22, 2014
Gypsy, a great musical from 1959, has a score by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a script by Arthur Laurents. It's the true story of burlesque stripper Gypsy Rose Lee (she preferred the label "ecdysiast")...

Stage Door: 'Cabaret' and Halloween Fare
The Cincinnati Playhouse's production of Cabaret is a must-see for anyone who is a fan of musicals. (CityBeat review here.) Kander and Ebb's Tony Award winner from the late '60s has been brought to the main stage with inventive verve by veteran Broadway choreographer and director Marsha Milgrom Dodge. Sure, it's set in 1929 Berlin, populated by amoral entertainers and Nazis rising to power. But its scrutiny of prejudice and bigotry in the context of jaunty, thoughtless entertainment is a fascinating way to bring attention to topics that are timeless. Dodge has assembled a cast of triple-threats (who can sing, act and dance), given them choreography rooted in the 1920s, costumed them in period clothing (and some clever get-ups for the cabaret routines) and set them spinning on a stage arrayed with Expressionist imagery. It's a winning combination. Cabaret just opened on Thursday evening; you have until Nov. 16 to catch it, but it's likely to be a hot ticket, so this is a good weekend to head to Mount Adams. The other choice at the Playhouse, Seven Spots on the Sun, is in its final weekend on the Shelterhouse stage. It's a powerful drama set in a Latin American nation, torn asunder by civil war. Serious theatergoers have been giving this one a thumbs-up. Tickets: 513-421-3888. Cincinnati Shakespeare hasn't gotten around to any Shakespeare plays yet this season, but no one's complaining. Last weekend they opened a moving production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, featuring top-notch performances by Jeremy Dubin and Jim Hopkins as a pair of Depression Era migrant works who have to stay one step ahead of trouble because man-child Lennie (Hopkins) doesn't know his own strength and has emotions that are seldom reined in. Great acting, worth seeing. (CityBeat review here.) Through Nov. 10. Tickets: 513-381-2273, x1. Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati finishes its run of Gina Gionfriddo's Rapture, Blister, Burn this weekend, hot from Broadway in its regional premiere. (CityBeat review here.) A story about modern women and what satisfies — and dissatisfies — them. Three generations end up debating choices made: It's both entertaining and thought-provoking, a showcase of excellent local actors. Through Sunday. Tickets: 513-421-3555. As Halloween draws closer, you might want to check out a show or two inspired by the "season." Dracula at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts (tickets: 513-241-6550) tells the familiar tale of the legendary vampire. (CityBeat review here.) Slasher at Falcon Theatre (Monmouth Theatre in Newport; tickets 513-479-6783) is a tongue-in-cheek piece that originated a few years back at the Humana Festival in Louisvile. It's about people making a horror flick and how it affects their lives. Lots of humor, but some thoughtful moments, too.

Stage Door: Choices, Choices
My best recommendation for this weekend is Ensemble Theatre's staging of Gina Gionfriddo's Rapture, Blister, Burn. This is an ultra-natural piece of writing with several generations of women arguing and contesting over the ways women should behave. (CityBeat review here.) It's focused on two women, once friends, one married to the other's ex college boyfriend. It's years later and neither woman is very happy with her present life. How that plays out will keep you engaged from start to finish. Some exceptional acting, with strong direction by D. Lynn Meyers. Tickets: 513-421-3555. The Playhouse's world premiere of Martín Zimmerman's Seven Spots on the Sun is a powerful drama that engages all your senses as well as your imagination. The products of a devastating civil war in Central America are played out in painfully personal ways. Potent script, strong performances make this a show worth seeing. (CityBeat review here.) This weekend at the Playhouse also offers a series of previews (hence, more affordable tickets) of Kander and Ebb's Cabaret, a show that's been around for a long time — but still has a saucy kick that makes it feel very in the moment. Playhouse box office: 513-421-3888. Need to starting getting into a Halloween state of mind? Covedale Center opened a production of Dracula on Thursday (it's onstage through Nov. 10) for you to sink your teeth into. Or vice versa. Tickets: 513-241-6550. Cincinnati Shakespeare kicks off its production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men this evening. It's a tale of friendship in the midst of the Great Depression, two men who are migrant workers, often staying one step beyond serious trouble caused by oafish Lennie. Cincy Shakes' regular Jim Hopkins plays the simple-minded giant who's protected by the pragmatic George, brought to life by veteran Jeremy Dubin. It's a thoughtful, sad story. Opens Friday evening, continues through Nov. 10. Tickets: 513-381-2273, x1. Speaking of Cincinnati Shakespeare, the company is involved in bringing National Theatre Live broadcasts from London to Cincinnati. If these screenings generate any profits, Cincy Shakes will get some financial benefit. So assemble a group and head to Springdale 18's Cinema de Luxe on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. You'll see a powerful performance of Othello featuring Adrian Lester (an Olivier Award winner) as the title character and Rory Kinnear (featured in a couple of recent James Bond films) as the manipulative Iago. Here's a link to buy tickets, $19 in general, $15 for seniors and students. Take a kid to see a show and you're likely to create a lifetime theater lover. That's what happened to me when my grandfather took me to see the musical Brigadoon. So you can give this theory a try this weekend as the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati opens its 89th mainstage season with Annie JR. at the Taft Theatre. It's a shortened version of the Broadway hit about a spunky orphan who charms everyone (and which happens to be back on Broadway this fall in a full-length production). Public performances today, tomorrow and Sunday. Tickets: 800-745-3000.

Landmark Productions Won't Return to Showboat Next Year
Theatre company to focus on Covedale Center after 23 years on the river
Abandon ship! Well, that's not exactly true. In fact, Cincinnati Landmark Productions has done a remarkable and loving job of sustaining the ship — in the form of the Showboat Majestic, which it has operated for 23 years in the face of at least 10 floods and countless repairs (including a leaky hull). But with its lease running out later this month, the company has decided not to return for the 2014 season. Cincinnati Landmark will focus its endeavors on the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, the converted West Side movie theater where it will offer a "Summer Classics Season" in a vein similar to mainstream fare of classic comedies and musicals that has long drawn audiences to the Majestic. There have been 170 productions on board since 1991, attracting more than 350,000 patrons to the last floating theater in the United States. Cincinnati Landmark is also embarking on a new voyage with a performing arts center to be built in the Incline District in East Price Hill, a venue anticipated to be up and running as early as 2015.Tim Perrino, executive artistic director at Cincinnati Landmark, says, "It's time to say goodbye. Our organization enjoyed a prolific chapter in the Majestic's grand history, painstakingly caring for the old boat" — launched in 1923 — "and producing seasons that paid tribute to her heritage." Opening this week on Wednesday, Showboat Follies will be Cincinnati Landmark's final production on the Majestic. An annual tradition, it's a compilation of musical showstoppers, comic sketches, audience interaction and a return of the "Queen City Toast," a longtime staple of season-closing shows. "This show has become our love letter to the Majestic," Perrino says, adding that it's "a thank-you to our subscribers, longtime supporters and the many artists who helped make our time on the Showboat so special." Showboat Follies runs through Sept. 29.During the summer of 2014, Cincinnati Landmark will present four productions at the Covedale: Jerry Herman's Hello, Dolly! (May 22-June 1); Neil Simon's comedy, The Sunshine Boys (June 19-29); Footloose (July 24-Aug. 3), the 2014 Cincinnati Young People's Theater production, a summer favorite using local high school talent; and a spectacular song-and-dance show, The Will Rogers Follies (Aug. 21-31). In 1989, the Showboat Majestic was named a National Historic Landmark. No word from the City of Cincinnati, which has owned the Majestic since 1967, as to what might be next. The Majestic was operated with summertime shows by the University of Cincinnati for many years, and it served as a popular venue during several of the Tall Stacks festivals over the years.

Stage Door: Double Dose from CSC
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is offering a double dose of entertainment this weekend. First and foremost is The 39 Steps at CSC's mainstage (CityBeat review here). If that title sounds familiar, it's because it was a classic espionage novel a century ago, made into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock 80 years ago, now turned into a very funny riff on its predecessors as a play using only four actors to fill all the roles. CSC has ramped up the humor by using four of its best comedic actors — Nick Rose, Miranda McGee, Justin McComb and Billy Chace — who play the principals, plus much of the population of London, especially McComb and Chace who will make you dizzy as they shift from one part to another, sometimes within seconds. It's actually a faithful retelling of the story, but it's amped up to a high level of hilarity by the onstage shenanigans. It adds up to great summertime humor. It's being performed through Aug. 11. Tickets: 513-381-2273, x1. One show isn't enough for CSC: This weekend they also launch their annual free Shakespeare in the Park tour with a performance of Romeo & Juliet at Boone Woods Park in Burlington at 7 p.m. on Saturday. (If you live north of the river, you'll get your chance next Wednesday evening at Eden Park's Seasongood Pavilion or at Burnet Woods in Clifton on Thursday.) As noted, these are free presentations, presented in classic Elizabethan style and use six actors from the company's resident ensemble. These are the same productions that CSC tours to schools and community centers, so they're great for the entire family. A week from now they'll start performing A Midsummer Night's Dream at some locations. For a full schedule, go here. Shakespeare is behind the story of Toil and Trouble, the current offering at Know Theatre. It's a new play (this is just the second time its been produced; its world premiere was in California last fall) that offers a contemporary riff on Macbeth (CityBeat review here). Instead of kings and warriors, however, its characters are a pair of thirtysomething slackers and Beth, a wildly ambitious sportscaster who has more testosterone than either of the guys. There's a lot of wacky moments in this play, replaces Macbeth's witches with fortune cookies and the kingdom of Scotland with an almost unpopulated island off the coast of Chile. You can pick up on the laughs through Aug. 24. Tickets: 513-300-5669. At the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, the annual production by Cincinnati Young People's Theatre is Grease, a tried-and-true musical about kids in the '50s at Rydell High. Sixty years haven't dimmed the musicality of the show, and the youthful performers will bring this one to life if you're in the mood for a classic. It wraps up with a matinee on Sunday. Tickets: 513-241-6550. While the Cincinnati Symphony's LumenoCity isn't exactly theater, the performances in Washington Park on Saturday and Sunday evening — with a dazzling light show on the facade of Music Hall — will definitely be theatrical. It's the debut for Louis Langree as the CSO's new music director, and the program will feature performers from Cincinnati Ballet and Cincinnati Opera. But the big deal is the colorful illumination that will let you see historic Music Hall in a light you've never imagined. It's free, starting at 8:30 p.m. both nights; big crowds are expected, so come early. Don't you wish the streetcar were already here so you could ride it to Over-the-Rhine?

Stage Door: Weekend Choices
You still have several weeks to see Cock (aka "The Cockfight Play" for journalism wimps) at Know Theatre. (It's onstage through May 11.) It's an oh-so-contemporary piece of theater about a gay man — or rather a man — who thought himself to be gay until he breaks up with his boyfriend and takes up with a woman. (CityBeat review here.) The play involves the tense dance of indecision he becomes part of as his lovers fight over him. It's about 90-minutes of fiercely acted theatrics, staged in a setting that looks like the arena where cockfighting happens. Definitely for mature audiences who appreciate shows that don't pull punches. Tickets: 513-3

Stage Door: More Holiday Cheer
As I wrote in my column in the current issue of CityBeat, there's a lot of good holiday theater available on Cincinnati stages right now. The Playhouse's production of A Christmas Carol, now in its 22nd year, is best in class — a well-told traditional tale with some of the best professional actors in town onstage, from Bruce Cromer as Scrooge and Dale Hodges as the Ghost of Christmas past. There are a few new faces, too, playing the Cratchits. And speaking of new faces, I feel comfortable recommending New Edgecliff Theatre's one-woman show, The 12 Dates of Christmas, which is being engagingly performed by Annie Kalahurka. It's paired with David Sedaris's The Santaland Diaries, which feels a little shopworn to me, but you can catch the double-bill downtown at the Arnonff's Fifth Third Bank Theater — and maybe go for drinks at Arnold's before or after the show. If you're looking for something kind of different, try The Naughty List (review here), a holiday-themed improv show (presented in Arnold's courtyard on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings) by Know Theatre. Five quick-witted comics who constitute OTR Improv are doing routines that use audience suggestions (and occasional audience participants) for nearly two hours of entertainment. It's a different show every night. Have kids you want to take to the theater and give them a taste of what fun it can be? Two good bets are Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati for one of its musical fairytales with a moral (this year the show is a colorful, cartoonish rendition of Alice in Wonderland) and Covedale Center, where Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is singing and dancing its way through another familiar story the kids will know. The prince is handsome, Cinderella is sweet and the nasty Stepmother is played by a guy. As far as familiar stories go, you've probably seen Frank Capra's classic holiday film It's a Wonderful Life a few times during the holidays. But I bet you haven't experienced in the unique way that Falcon Theater offers it up at Newport's Monmouth Theatre: The script frames the story as an old-time radio drama, and you get to watch behind-the-scenes as a handful of actors play all the roles and a few others create the necessary sound effects. It opens this weekend and runs for a week. I haven't seen this year's edition, but I've enjoyed past incarnations, and I suspect this one will be entertaining as well. Happy holidays!

Making Merry, Theatrically

It's time for mistletoe and holly, when theaters entice folks in search of holiday cheer (and occasional parodies thereof) to celebrate the season. Many theaters need December ticket revenues to present shows onstage for the rest of the year.

Stage Door: 'Thunder Knocking' and More
Cincinnati Playhouse just opened Thunder Knocking on the Door, a show it staged in 1999 and sold a boatload of tickets — the most for any musical it's presented in the past two decades! I was there on Thursday night for the opening, and this is a drop-dead gorgeous production — costumes, sets, lighting and sound by Broadway designers, and a cast of five who all have star-power. Even better, they form a wonderful musical ensemble when they need to. Keith Glover's play is a fable about the Blues: Marvell Thunder is a mystical presence who years earlier lost a "cuttin' contest" to a fellow named Jaguar Dupree, and now he's back to even the score "where the two roads meet," somewhere near Bessemer, Alabama. But Jaguar's passed, survived by his wife (twice widowed since then) and his twin brother. Her and Jaguar's twin children, Jaguar Jr. and Glory are musical and each have magical guitars that he bequeathed to them. Jr. has lost his to Thunder, and now he's coming for the other one. But it's complicated, because Thunder is turning to stone because it's been so long since he's been in love. All this is played out to a wonderful Blues score, most of it by singer and composer Keb' Mo'. There's a great band backing them up, and to make this tale all the more magical, among its technical team is an "illusion designer." You'll be asking, "How'd they do that?" more than once. I gave it a Critic's Pick, and you should get your tickets right away. 513-421k-3888. Know Theatre's production of the recent off-Broadway and Broadway Rock musical hit, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is a youthful mix of political commentary, driving Rock performances, history, humor and sober observations on the will of the people — just what we've come expect from Know Theatre. Not many musicals begin with the cast flipping the bird at the audience, but then not many musicals are like this one, spinning a tale of America's seventh president to in-your-face Indie Rock tunes. This is Bloody Bloody's first professional regional production. I gave it a Critic's Pick, and the show is proving to be a big hit for Know. (Through May 12.) Box office: 513-300-5669. Pump Boys & Dinettes at the Covington's Carnegie Center is something like an off-Broadway classic (it had a brief Broadway run) from the early 1980s. Set in a filling station that's also a diner, it's a framework for downhome Country tunes and cornpone humor. Not much of a story, but a talented cast makes this one a lot of light-hearted fun. This is the final weekend. Box office: 859-957-1940. Covedale Center is presenting Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's but Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I saw it last Friday and can recommend it as a production that does justice to a piece of entertaining fluff. Director Tim Perrino has assembled a fast-paced production with some fine voices. The jaunty show, which covers the familiar tale in about 90 minutes (including intermission), has fun with (and parodies) various musical styles — from Elvis-styled Rock and Western Swing to French ballads and calypso. Stone walls and palms slide back to reveal a sphinx and a smoking entrance for the Pharaoh (aka Elvis). It's not groundbreaking in any way, but it is the kind of solid entertainment the Covedale has presented for 10 seasons. Through May 13. Box office: 513-241-6550. And while I'm talking about lighthearted shows, make not that a tour of Mamma Mia, cramming tons of ABBA tunes into an implausible but funny story, makes a one-week stop at the Aronoff starting on Tuesday. It would be hard not to have a good time at any production of Mamma Mia. Tickets: 513-621-2787. Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.

Does the page layout help you or seem like a maze?
Page layout is fundamental for user experience. Great functionality of a network, but poor layout, will ruin your experience, since you won't find the functions you are looking for. What is displayed on the home screen layout must be understood as the features the social networks puts most priority to, in order to serve the users. In this post you will be given a look at the social networks page layout, both desktop and mobile app versions.
- The feed is given a huge priority on the mobile app version on all networks
- The "oldies" (Facebook and LinkedIn) have a more scattered layout than the newer (Google+ and Instagram) which are much neater and cleaner.
- Faceook stands out in the way they use empty space: The least on the desktop version and most on the mobile app.
- Facebook puts priority to creating content on the mobile app.
- Google+ is about contributing with and finding quality content, which is reflected in a focus on feed and navigation, both on desktop and app.
- Instagram has a minimalistic approach to their desktop page with all focus on the feed.
- LinkedIn puts the least focus on the feed on the desktop, but gives the feed a prominent place on the mobile app.
- Twitter gives posting tweets more priority on the mobile app.
- Designated spaces for ads are not found on the mobile apps (but promoted stories in your page feed can be found on some of the networks)
And now onto each social network. Continue reading

Shelby Bryant admits she wasn't thrilled to learn she would be one of the guinea pigs testing a new open office environment for pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline near Raleigh, N.C.
An administrative assistant in Research Triangle Park, Bryant, 39, went from having a desk outside her boss's office to having no assigned desk or phone.
Instead of personalizing her workspace with family photos and funny cartoons, she was expected to leave her work area each day the same way she found it: pristine.
"It was a big adjustment," said Bryant, who has worked for the drug maker for 18 years. "There were a lot of distractions, and it was hard to stay focused."
But the new setup had its advantages. The lack of offices increased collaboration among colleagues, cutting down decision-making time. E-mail traffic was reduced, as was the time she spent on the phone.
GSK, which already has open workspaces in London, is at the forefront of a movement with enormous consequences for employers, workers and the real estate industry.
"What you've seen over the course of four decades now has been a transformation in the way the office is approached," said Matt Dorsey, local sales representative for furniture maker Herman Miller.
Office and cubicle sizes have been shrinking and are being replaced by fewer walls and collaborative spaces that many employees can share.
The economic downturn has accelerated this trend, as real estate is typically a company's second-largest expense behind payroll.
"There's pressure to reduce cost" and to improve productivity, Dorsey said.
Moving to an open office environment doesn't make sense for all companies, and making the shift requires forethought.
GSK has been studying the way its employees worked for the past decade. The company discovered that its office buildings were underutilized and had become relics of a hierarchical work environment that was stifling innovation.
GSK, which employs 4,000 people in Research Triangle Park, is converting two buildings to open-office floor plans that will accommodate nearly twice the number of employees in the same square footage.
The overhaul is enabling the company to vacate 10 other buildings, saving millions in annual operating costs.
Open office environments are widespread in Europe, but are relatively rare in the Triangle.
"It's been slower to take hold here in this market just because it hasn't really been a progressive design market," said Dan Thomson, a broker with the commercial real estate firm Cassidy Turley. "But you'll see some of the larger and more, I guess, creative companies looking to different ways to do it."
Many companies view open-office environments as a tool for recruiting younger workers who may chafe in a place with few opportunities to interact. "You want that young talent that's currently in the marketplace or entering college," Dorsey said.
About 1,500 of GSK's Triangle-area employees will move into its new open-space floor plans. For the past 10 months, the company has been testing out furniture and layouts in a section of a building that it will eventually vacate.
To reach the open office laboratory, visitors must pass through a deserted landscape of dreary, high-walled cubicles that serves as a reminder of what GSK is leaving behind.
Bryant, the administrative assistant, is among about 40 people in the company's Worldwide Real Estate and Facilities division who have already made the switch. The larger move ultimately will include an extensive education campaign to prepare employees for their new surroundings.
Employees will work in neighborhoods, each of which includes meeting rooms and quiet areas. They'll attend etiquette workshops, and each neighborhood will adopt a set of policies to deal with hypothetical situations that may come up.
The groups that are moving to the new layout are those whose managers embraced the change. Bryant now sits at a desk directly across from her boss, David Bishop, GSK's director of site operations in RTP.
Bishop said as the move gets closer, more and more departments are expressing interest in unchaining themselves from their desk.
"I don't believe we will ever get to where everybody wants it," he said.

I'm referring to the corner next to the refrigerator. Currently, I have it as a 12 three drawer and then a 33"x33" corner easy reach. The corner will be where I put all of my tall bottles of oil, vinegar, etc. (I shop at warehouse clubs sometimes). I'm not sure that a 12 in cabinet is necessary, since I have a 15" on one side of the range. What are your opinions on 12" all drawer cabinets? I am thinking about putting in a 9" full door cabinet and then going with an asymmetrical corner (36x33). This will give me more room in the corner cabinet. The 9" cabinet will be used to store baking sheets, cutting boards, etc. What do you think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a 9" full door for baking cutting boards and trays and it works well for my needs. I think if I had more options I may have done something different, but it actually serves me well as is. |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 19, 14 at 16:14
I also have a 9" full door cabinet that stores almost all my flat baking sheets and cutting board. It works well for our needs. |
I also have a 9" lower for large trays, etc. that works well for me. I also have two 9" floor to ceiling cabinets. One has a pullout in the large lower section that I really like for pantry items and the other is more in the laundry area and holds a broom closet in the lower section and the AC filters in the top portion. |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Wed, Mar 19, 14 at 16:53
I was happy to get rid of my 12" base cabinet. It had a shelf, so stuff was divided top and bottom. But I found that things got hung up on each other or migrated to the back of the 24" cabinet. But it's better than a 12" drawer yada yada yada. |
I also have a 9 inch full door, works well for cutting boards, trays, etc. I wish someone made a shelf for the top portion though, wasted space that could be used for foil, wrap, parchment paper, wax paper, etc. I guess I am just going to have my husband rig something up for me. |
Add my vote to 9" door over 12" drawers (I had those, they were pretty worthless). My 9" base cab contains cookie sheets, pizza stones, and cutting boards. My 9" has a drawer above, which is also mostly useless (though I did find a use for mine). I wish I had thought of a shelf behind the door instead. |
Thank you |
You're spot on regarding the other benefit of the 9" cabinet. The exposed opening on the asymmetrical 36x33 EZ reach corner lends to far more accessibility over the standard 33x33. HTH, tmy |
- Posted by canuckplayer (My Page) on Thu, Mar 20, 14 at 20:36
In my 9" cabinet, I have my cutting boards, trays, pizza pans. I put a "divider" behind them, (shortening the depth by 3") so I wasn't fishing for something that had fallen to the back.I moved the shelf up to 15" from the cabinet floor (instead of the standard 12") and it holds my oils and vinegars. |
Thank you everyone for letting me know that you love your 9" cabinet! |
Fishy - I like the idea of a shelf up top. If you do rig something please post. I'd be interested to see how and what you do. Thx. |
