Amazon Echo review: A perfect 10
This unique device from the folks at Amazon wants to be your invisible friend in the room. In some ways it probably will be.
The mobile space is exploding with smartphones in every pocket and tablets on the horizon. James Kendrick brings you the latest news from the mobile world and a breakdown of what it means to you.

This unique device from the folks at Amazon wants to be your invisible friend in the room. In some ways it probably will be.
The folks at Logitech apparently never rest, with the rash of cases regularly appearing for the new iPad. This new one has a hidden hinge that props the tablet just as you want it.
The recent announcement of the Amazon Echo took many by surprise. The company signed up those interested in buying one, and purchase invites are now going out.
Whether you have a lot of gadgets as I do or a couple on two different platforms, using apps that work on multiple platforms is the way to go. Here are some good ones.
Months after Amazon unveiled the latest version of the OS running the Kindle Fire HDX tablets and the ill-fated Fire Phone, the update is finally rolling out.
This week Apple pulled Fitbit from its online store, iMessages freed for switching, and the best onscreen keyboards for iOS 8 detailed.
This week Sony's Android Wear watch appeared, as did details about new features in Android Wear 5.0. Google confirmed Lollipop is rolling out.
The iPad is hitting the enterprise to some extent. If Apple is willing to go outside of its comfort zone, these three actions could have iPads hitting the workplace in bigger numbers.
This unusual keyboard for iOS is made of spill-proof fabric and is thinner than the iPad Air 2.
Google is making the right moves to get Chromebooks into the mainstream, but some misconceptions may be preventing buyers from trying them.
Microsoft sets Office free and adds utility on the iPhone, Apple beats Samsung in China, and the Apple Watch is rumored to be quite expensive.
This week the factory image of Android 5.0, aka Lollipop, was released but the general update was delayed due to a problem. The hype surrounding the Apple Pay launch was a boost for Google Wallet. The top 10 battery draining apps on Android are listed.
For the past month I have relied solely upon 4G LTE connections, leaving the Wi-Fi turned off when working out of the office. The takeaways from this experiment have been surprising.
The big new iPhone is thin and light, and wrapping it in a slim case adds protection and makes a statement. These six cases are a good fit for the iPhone 6 Plus.

It looks like 'Andy' has been recruited. The United States Army is testing a prototype combat-ready Android-based smartphone for use on the battle-field. The device is called the "Joint Battle Command-Platform." A non-profit company called, MITRE Corp. is developing the system, and designing it to be rugged enough for combat operations. For the device to pass the rigorous tests to be field-ready, it must have good mapping systems, secure and reliable communications with-in a unit, and an app to help identify nearby friendly forces. One of the primary reasons the Army wants to develop this system is to help soldiers distinguish between friend-or-foe so that they can reduce "friendly-fire" incidents. Here's a quote from the BizJournals.com article, Wow! Now, that's pretty cool... 'Andy' is gettin Ranger training! Source: Android.net via BizJournals.com
Shoot the iPhone Users! Enemy iPhone user detected :icon_evil: This is a cool idea and it couldn't be done without Andy's open-source platform dancedroid ANDROID FTW! :greendroid:
What happens when the enemy inevitably gets the .apk of the file and is then able to find every single American base?
lol i think its going to have to be a little harder then finding a APK to link into the app. Something tells me deep encryption and sign in(along with whatever else they can think of) will take place... Unless you just wooshed me lol
Any talk about the actual phone itself? It would be awesome to have a waterproof and rugged Android phone!
Maybe this is to replace the slow and glitchy Blue Force Trackers we used, or rather failed to use, overseas. Of course, they have to figure out a way to transmit wireless and still be secure, with enough speed for it to be any use at all. Otherwise it'll be as slow as downloading WOW on dialup. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
Or buggy software/hardware. I'm far from the only one to have this issue. And it doesn't seem to be knowledge based problem. Almost luck of the draw thing.
Yeah. I had that issue from day one with my D2G until I got it replaced. My new one hasn't done it yet. Call in a warranty replace. Reflash first, of course ;P Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
Anything would be better than the BFT...but then again, BFT is better than having nothing at all. I see a very early problem with this if fielded in-country...these type apps are going to require Data and GPS. Are they planning on operating a 3G/4G cell network, or trying to run this off the satellite/signal systems we already have? Coming from a Signal Unit, this is not a very good plan.. No matter what they use right now, it will have to be modified in-country to get around the wireless jammers we are constantly using now to defeat IED attacks...so I am curious to see what the Tech Aspect of this device is actually built around....

Waterstones eleven: Pig's Foot
Our final Waterstones eleven début novel for this year is Carlos Acosta's Pig's Foot. Read the opening of the book here...
A Few Important Details About Me
Bueno … okay … the first thing you need to know about me is I never knew my mother or my father and I only found out their names a couple of months ago. My memories begin on the day I came home from primary school dragging a dead cat by the scruff of the neck. I must have been about seven at the time, and I remember the cat had eaten my lunch. My grandma grounded me – obviously – and I wasn't allowed out to play for a week. She told me it was no reason to go round strangling things. I tossed the remains of the cat on the ground, then punched the front door so hard I broke my wrist. All this stuff I remember as clear as day. But, before that, is like an empty space inside my head. Sorry, maybe I'm not making much sense, what I mean is I don't have any memories of what happened before. I was a pretty normal kid, just like the other chiquillo in Barrio Lawton as far as I remember, though my grandparents always insisted I was different. They told me I had been born in a place called Pig's Foot – Pata de Puerco – in the deep south of Cuba on the far side of El Cobre. According to them, I slid down my mother's legs into the mud like a slug. Can you imagine? Like a slug. And as soon as my mother plucked me up out of the muck, I started howling like I'd been stuck with a fistful of needles. Pig's Foot sounds to me like one of the weird recipes grandma used to concoct, but from what I was told both my grandparents and the parents I never knew were born there and one day I would have to go back.
'Mark my words,' my grandpa used to tell me that all the time, 'No man knows who his is until he knows his past, his history, the history of his country.' 'The old guy's losing his marbles,' I thought, 'the first sign of old age!' But then one day I suddenly found myself utterly alone. It's impossible to imagine the man you will become when you find yourself alone. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. Take me, for example, years ago it would never have occurred to me to set foot in Santiago, let alone to hang on every word I ever heard my grandpa say, as though somehow his words might be the cure for my affliction. That's how I came to build a world around a tiny village called Pata del Puerco, a place I've never been, but one I inhabited through the memories of that poor old man, the same memories Commissioner Clemente wheedled out of me in the course of a long and painful interrogation, the memories I'm happy to relate to you now, no hard feelings.
Before we get started, I should point out that Clemente, the short, bald prick with the big 'tache who calls himself a doctor is actually Grand Wizard of the Cuban branch of the Ku Klux Klan. I suppose you think I'm making this stuff up, but I swear to you that even in 1995, there are evil people in Cuba. And Commissioner Clemente, with his gang of whiteshirts, is one of them – whenever I see him it's like I feel like I have a rock in my stomach. That's why when he asked, instead of telling him my real name – it's Oscar Mandinga, in case you're wondering – I answered the son of a bitch in Arabic:
.بِبَ ْھلَ َوان يَلِي ُق ھذا تَ َص ُّرفك إن ،الأر عن أي ُّھَا يــا َو َشأْنِي َد ْعنِي !تَبًّـــــا After that, what happened, happened; Commissar Clemente brought the darkness, hammering me with questions until he literally split my skull in two.
So like I said, my name's Oscar Mandinga – pleased to meet you – now, back to the hazy past that was my childhood. The only thing I knew about my grandparents was that years ago they'd moved from Santiago de Cuba to a barrio called Lawton in the city of Havana and opened a laundry business that brought in just enough to put food on the table. I have no problems remembering The Good Life – 'El Buen vivir', since I worked in the laundromat as a kid, but even back then, I never heard any stories about my grandparents, never saw any photos of them as kids. As far as I knew my grandparents had been born old, because from the day I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was a tall, black, toothless old man – my grandpa – and a little grey-haired old woman with shy, sandy eyes – my grandma. They were sweet, affectionate old things for the most part and I've got to say they brought me up well. At The Good Life they taught me the meaning of hard work and thanks to them when I was little I learned to cook, to clean, take out the trash, in short to be methodical and reliable. But that's no use to me now because that bald bastard Commissioner Clemente won't give me any work. Though what with the 'special economic period' in force these days in Cuba, no one's got any work.
For all I know you're one of those ignorant morons who thinks books are for timewasters. If so, let me tell you straight up that I don't give a rat's ass what you think because I love reading the classics – though to be honest, I'll read pretty much anything from Sputnik Magazine to the cartoons in Junior Pioneer. Art is my life, and it's such a pity that in Cuba it's gone to the dogs in the '90s. Round here, people say that when you've made enough good art you've earned the right to turn out bad art. Bullshit! You used to be able to go to the theatre in Havana, but these days there's bound to be a power cut right in the middle of the ballet or the operetta. Everyone's permanently anxious and constantly complaining – everyone, that is, except my grandparents, who still insist the Revolution – power cuts, rationing, shortages and all – is the best thing that ever happened to this country. When I say it, I sound like a fruit loop.
Anyway, back to the important stuff, to Pata de Puerco and its origins. This is the story of my ancestors exactly as I told it to Commissioner chrome-dome Clemente before his band of whiteshirts turned up and took the sun away for ever.

Best Answer
I HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON ONE OF MY COMPUTERS, AND ALL I DID WAS DOWNLOAD THE NEW DRIVER FOR XP FROM THE MOTHERBOARD MANUFACTURER. TAKE THE SIDE COVER OFF OF YOUR TOWER, AND WITH A FLASHLIGHT, LOOK BETWEEN THE PCI SLOTS(USUALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS) AND LOOK FOR THE MOTHERBOARD MODEL#. FOR EXAMPLE: IF IT'S AN MSI BOARD, IT WILL SAY SOMETHING LIKE--MS-6732 REV 1.1. IF IT ISN'T THERE IT IS PRINTED SOMEWHERE ON THAT MOBO(MOTHERBOARD). FIND IT AND THEN GO TO THE MANUFACTURERS WEB SITE. IT COULD BE MANUFACTURED BY ANY NUMBER OF COMPANIES. A FEW REALLY POPULAR ONES ARE: ASUS,GIGABYTE,MSI,BIOSTAR,ECS, AND SO ON. THEIR LOGO MIGHT BE ON THE MOTHERBOARD SOMEWHERE. MAYBE EVEN ON THE NORTH/SOUTH BRIDGE(CHIPSET). ONCE YOU FIND IT GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND CLICK ON EITHER DOWNLOADS OR SUPPORT/DOWNLOADS. AND FIND THE RIGHT DRIVER FOR YOUR SPECIFIC MOBO;DEVICE(SOUND);AND OPERATING SYSTEM(XP). AND DOWNLOAD IT. THEN GO INTO THE DEVICE MANAGER, AND RIGHT-CLICK THE SOUND DEVICE, AND CLICK "UPDATE DRIVER". LET THE COMPUTER SEARCH FOR IT. YOU CAN ALSO OPEN THE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED, AND CLICK THE INSTALL OR SET-UP ICON, AND IT WILL INSTALL THE DRIVER . AFTER THIS YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS FINDING THE MOBO MODEL, THERE ARE A FEW OTHER OPTIONS FOR IDENTIFYING IT, SUCH AS USING THE FCC ID NUMBER AND A COUPLE OF OTHERS. JUST EMAIL ME email@example.com AND I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH IT. HOPE THIS HELPS. IF YOU VOTE ME BEST ANSWER, I WILL ASSUME THIS FIXED IT FOR YOU. WHATEVER HAPPENS, I HOPE U GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I KNOW FIRSTHAND THIS IS ANNOYING. GOOD LUCK, JOE.

Sounds like you need to update your sound card driver.
Use a search engine and search for C-Media-AC97 Audio Driver.
The C-Media-AC97 Sound card chip is very famous.
You shouldn't have any problem finding one.
It might not be the Sound Card driver which is the problem, it could be a simple Hardware conflict.
Under the Hardware properties, check the Hardware resources tab and see if you have any conflicting hardware. -
I had window XP my sound device is no longer play with the sound into speaker. the C-mediaAC 97 theres yellow( !) like these.I tried to set up but the same no happen.
C-Media AC97 Audio Device- device cannot start (code 10)??
I had Windows 2000 and then we installed Windows XP on my computer. After Windows XP was installed I no longer had sound working on my computer--which sucks!! I went to the Device Manager and next to the C-Media AC97 Audio Device theres a yellow (!). I tried using the troubleshooter and that didn't get me anywhere. I also tried uninstalling the device and the reinstalling it but the C-Media AC97 Audio Device still has the yellow (!) and still says - Device cannot start (Code 10). The only sound my computer makes is a beep when an alert message comes up or when I press the lock keys (caps,num,scroll). I reaaaaaaaaally want sound back on my computer!!!!!!!! Anyone know how to FIX this!!!????
(also I don't have the brand name of my computer- it was put together my other computer parts)

Got given a bottle of this as a gift for Christmas. The best cream liqueur we've ever had.
23rd January 2015
My daughter & I LOVED the small sample bottle we tried so I'm about to order her a large bottle for her birthday surprise teat!
20th November 2014
Not sticky sweet, balanced and creamy, wonderful over ice, love it.
28th August 2014
This is like Baileys for grownups - you can taste the good quality liqueur under the sweet creamy flavour. Just lucious and not sickly sweet. Get some and drink it over ice. Mmm...
6th April 2014
This is terrific, no more cheap imitations (i.e Baileys), only the Merlyn `real deal`. Only down side is - I cannot believe that there is 70cl in the bottle, seemed to go so quickly...
12th January 2014
Digestive biscuit and malt to the nose, creamy with a zing of new spirit on the pallet, have yet to find its food companion, but why bother when it is fine on it's own

Ellie Kemper profiled in St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Mar 2, 2015St. Louisan Ellie Kemper enjoys job as 'Office' receptionist
In 1999, in a white satin gown, Elizabeth Claire Kemper was attended by maids and pages as the Veiled Prophet's Queen of Love and Beauty.
In 2009, in gold lame and tall black boots, Ellie Kemper struts through a music-video spoof in a webisode for The Office. Same Kemper? You bet.
The girl who led an undefeated field hockey team as a member of John Burroughs' class of 1998 found her passion not on the playing field but in performing.
Kemper, 29, was hired last season to fill in for a few episodes as the receptionist on The Office. Producers were charmed and in June asked Kemper to become a regular on the NBC comedy. Since September, she's been answering the phone at the Dunder Mifflin paper company and playing an increasingly large role in Office story lines.
Critics are noticing. Variety named her one of its "10 comics to watch." Alan Sepinwall of the Newark Star-Ledger praised the "infectious joy and sweetness" she has brought to the show. Others have called her fresh, adorable and "appealingly goofy."
A bit of that goofiness carries over into real life, too. After publicists failed to connect a planned phone interview, Kemper pulled into a Los Angeles parking lot to call from her car -- only to be interrupted by a man knocking persistently on her window, asking to repair the big dent she got while figuring out LA traffic.
Working on The Office, a show she loved, is "the coolest job on Earth," Kemper says.
She first auditioned when executive producer Greg Daniels was casting a new, then untitled comedy that turned out to be Parks and Recreation. When the opening on The Office came up, she got another call, "and I felt more comfortable going in because I'd met them before."
Originally, Erin was "different from who she is now," Kemper recalls. "The scenes I read for the audition were more Office-esque, more sarcastic and dry. They've tweaked the character a lot, so now she's more of an exaggerated version of myself. It's fun for me to play her, and this is such a cool place to be."
Cast mates, including fellow St. Louisans Jenna Fischer and Phyllis Smith, have made things easy for her, Kemper says.
"We have this little St. Louis clique here, and that's so great. It's nice to be able to talk to people who come from where you do. I acted like such a dork when I came on last spring. I went up to Jenna and I was like, 'I'm from St. Louis, too!'"
As a whole, the cast couldn't have been more welcoming to the new girl, Kemper says.
"These people are all so grounded," she says. "I haven't had a lot of experience, but this cast is just so nice."
Even lead Steve Carell doesn't give a hint that "he's this really big star," she says. "He is honestly the nicest person ever."
Kemper is starring with Mindy Kaling (Kelly) in a four-part NBC.com Web special, "Subtle Sexuality," which finds the two forming a girl group and recording a music video, backed by Ryan (B.J. Novak) and Andy (Ed Helms).
"They're funny, aren't they?" Kemper asks of the webisodes, remarking on her "insane costume" and praising Kaling as "so talented, plus such a normal person."
Kemper's passion for performing started at John Burroughs, where she acted in "every play and musical I could."
She was particularly taken with improvisational comedy, and not just because one of her teachers was Jon Hamm, who was 10 years ahead of her at Burroughs and taught there when she was a freshman.
Hamm, now the star of the Emmy-winning Mad Men, played the lead in Kemper's high school play, Stage Door. Thus she can legitimately say she performed with Jon Hamm, and she can also say he's watched her perform; last spring, when she brought a one-woman show ("Feeling Sad/Mad With Ellie Kemper") to LA from New York, she invited Hamm, and he attended.
"Everyone was all ga-ga over him," she says with a giggle.
After high school, Kemper attended Princeton University, performing with the improv group Quipfire! and the venerable Princeton Triangle Club, a touring musical-comedy troupe. She graduated in 2002 with a degree in English and attended Oxford University for a year.
"I was in an English Studies program, but I knew that wasn't what I wanted to do," she says.
Instead, Kemper headed for New York.
"I knew it was an uncertain path, but I had to try it for a couple of years and see what happened," she says.
Kemper got an agent and supported herself by landing "a lucky string of commercials" while taking classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and People's Improv. She performed improv, mostly unpaid, and teamed with Scott Eckert, a fellow veteran of Princeton's Quipfire! Group, to write sketch shows.
Writing is as much a passion as performing, and Kemper wrote for the satirical newspaper the Onion and literary humor magazine McSweeney's and appeared in sketches for Late Night With Conan O'Brien and Important Things With Demetri Martin. Back home, her parents, David and Dotty Kemper, "helped me stay afloat that first year, and they were always emotionally supportive," Kemper says.
His daughter's persistence doesn't surprise David Kemper, chairman and CEO of Commerce Bancshares. "She has always been very focused and organized, and she was a very good student," he says.
His daughter's success as a performer is no surprise, either.
"She always had a lot of poise on stage," her father says, recalling how 5-year-old Ellie skipped to the piano at a CASA recital and played for a room full of adults without missing a beat."
Wayne Salomon, head of the theater department at Burroughs, isn't surprised at Kemper's success. He clearly recalls her as far back as ninth grade in a production of Godspell, where she was "awesomely funny" as the Seed in "The Parable of the Seed."
"Ellie has this amazing natural sense of humor," Salomon says. "Actually, the whole family does. Her mother, Dotty, is hilarious."
The second of four Kemper kids, Ellie was born into a family of bankers. The Kemper family founded Commerce Bancshares, based in Kansas City, and Ellie was born there, moving to St. Louis at age 5 when the bank established headquarters here. Her grandmother was Mildred Lane Kemper, whose name is on the art museum opened in 2006 at Washington University; the Kemper family gave $5 million to the project.
Ellie attended the Conway School in Ladue and then Burroughs, where "I was really into everything," especially athletics. At Princeton, where her field hockey team went to the national championship her freshman year, she spent "most of my time on the bench, which turned out to be a lucky break, because I quit and got into performing."
Kemper has been coming home to St. Louis a lot lately, since her older brother John, 34, and his wife, Ashley, had a baby boy, Brennan, in July. Brother Billy, 20, is a junior at Stanford University. Sister Carrie, 25, a comedy writer, lives in Los Angeles and has been an anchor for Ellie in recent months.
"I am liking having a job out here," says Kemper, who moved from New York when The Office called.
If working on The Office is a dream come true, there's one drawback.
"It's the coolest job on Earth, but it's also a job in an office," she points out. "I'm always sitting, and there's so much food around. Craft service feeds you constantly. I've gotten like, hey, why isn't there any mac and cheese?"
And that's bad why?
"I'm worried about getting secretary spread!"

Amy Poehler interviewed by Rachel Dratch for Bust Magazine
Mar 2, 2015
Rachel Dratch
For the past 10 years, Amy Poehler's comedy career has been unstoppable. And from the improv trenches to Saturday Night Live to her current incarnation as a 38-year-old movie star and primetime darling, she's remained a relatable gal we'd love to pal around with. Here, we get a peek at what being friends with Poehler is really like, as she chats it up with her frequent collaborator and fellow comic, Rachel Dratch.
Amy Poehler is the epitome of cool. Women want to befriend her. Comedians want to emulate her. Guys want to befriend her, emulate her, date her, and/or make sweet love to her. And comedy guys want to bone her, because that's what comedy guys call it.
She is a rare combination of sweet and tough. Both feminine and tomboyish, she can get a roomful of guys to do whatever she wants. She is kind and friendly. She's a go-getter and a superambitious chick. She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes. She can ruin your faith with her casual lies. But she's always a woman to me.
We met in Chicago in the '90s while we were both trying to break into the improv comedy scene there. She dressed like an eighth-grade boy back then, in Converse sneakers and band T-shirts, but made it a girly thing. And she was a pioneer. Instead of waiting around to be moved up the ranks fo Second City, like most of us were doing, Amy and her three co-horts from the Upright Citizens Brigade -- Matt Besser, Matt Walsh and Ian Roberts -- moved to N.Y.C. to start a theater in 1996. This was crazy! Surely, Amy would have made it at Second City, the granddaddy of all comedy programs. But no, she fearlessly did her own thing instead and created a venue that is now the improv mecca of New York City.
Amy and I actually grew up 10 minutes away from each other in Massachusetts -- Amy in Burlington, and I in Lexington -- but we didn't know each other as kids. Our high-school football teams played each other every Thanksgiving. We both worked at the same ice-cream parlor, Chadwick's, at different times. We both had a lead in our sixth-grade productions of Once Upon a Mattress. Poehler had a secretary named Dratch, and Dratch had a secretary named Lincoln. Wait a minute...
I've had the pleasure of working with Amy over many years, from ASSSSCAT, the improv show we did together at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre when I first moved to N.Y.C. in 1999, to Saturday Night Live, where we overlapped from 2001 to 2006, to our work together on Spring Breakdown, the 2009 film I co-wrote and produced that we also starred in together. I've told Amy that I often picture a little imaginary bracelet on my arm that reads "W.W.P.D?" because Poehler don't take no shit. If there's a line or a bit that's not funny and she knows it's not going to get a laugh, she won't indulge or placate whomever's telling her to say it, like I sometimes do. Instead, she'll quickly and authoritatively say, "Yeah. We're not doing that." Case closed. W.W.P.D? What Would Poehler Do? Let's find out!
Amy: Hey, dude! Thanks for doing this. My God, we're being recorded!
Rachel: I know! I can't believe I have the Great White on the line.
You and I have had many, many conversations but never one that has been recorded.
At least not to our knowledge.
Where are you right now?
I'm in my living room. It's just a beautiful day out here . Where are you?
I am in Los Angeles, in my house, and it's a honey of a day out here, too.
When we're being recorded we use phrases like "honey of a day." All right, well, one thing I was thinking of that connects you with BUST readers is that you actually do projects that are feminist-minded. I was thinking specifically of your animated show The Mighty B! and your Internet show Smart Girls at the Party, which are both for kids. Talk about feminism and your work inspiring girls.
Well, Rachel Dratch, The Mighty B! was a Nickelodeon project that I started with my friend Cynthia True, who is a great writer, and her partner Erik Wiese, who is an animator. We started with me wanting to do this character that I had done back in my Upright Citizens Brigade days who was kind of a Girl Scout. And in making it, we discovered this fun, empowered, quirky girl. It was something we didn't see enough of in animated shows. At the time, watching a lot of those shows, the girls were either boy crazy or mean to each other, unless they were a superhero. This girl is interested in bigger things than the boy next door, so the show falls under the umbrella of girl power. The other project, Smart Girls at the Party, is a Web series I did with my friends Meredith Walker and Amy Miles. We wanted to do a Charlie Rose-style interview show for girls where they could talk about what they're interested in. That came from a much more deliberate place of trying to find something we could enjoy doing that would also be inspiring for girls.
What have you learned from the girls?
Ooh, that's a good question! You know, it's funny. Girls who are between the ages of 9 and 13 are at the precipice. They're not yet completely obsessed with how they look. They're just turning into teenagers but they're still kind of kids. And they kept reminding me of how fun it is to not care about what other people thing; how liberating that can be.
If little Amy Poehler were on Smart Girls, what would your field of expertise have been? Were you into acting when you were little?
No, not really. Were you?
Well, I was into doing the school plays. And I was into dancing around to Annie in the living room.
That's so funny. Annie was a real telltale thing. How much a girl got into Annie was sort of a definitive measure of how much she wanted to be on stage. If you were the kind of person who was like, "I'm cool with being one of the orphans and I'll do a 'Hard-Knock Life' performance during a sleepover, but I'm not so down with doing it for the whole school," then you were someone who perhaps would not pursue acting as a career. You and I both enjoyed Annie. I did a lot of basement acting out.
Basement performances?
Oh, my God, Basement Performances by Amy Poehler. Grease was also a big deal. To answer your question about what I would have talked about on Smart Girls, though, I used to write a lot of poems and short stories then. But honestly, if you caught me on a different day, it would just be, like, roller-skating.
I could probably sail away to the Pinot Grigio Islands with you right now.
Explain what that is to the people reading this, Dratch.
Amy and I like to drink wine together, and our drink of choice is often Pinot Grigio, so when we want to go out together we say, "Shall we sail to the Pinot Grigio Islands this evening?" and it makes it feel like we're on an exotic Italian vacation to the Pinot Grigio Isles.
You can see Chianti Mountain from there.
Moving on, BUST says they haven't interviewed you since you had your son, Archie, last year. So what are your favorite and least favorite things about being a mom?
My favorite thing is my kid. It's cliche, but it's true. A little person exists in this little body, and he's growing, and getting to meet that person is the coolest part. And then -- BUST will enjoy this rant and so will you, Dratch. This is a rant I would say to you even if I wasn't being interviewed. My least favorite part is when women ask me how I do it. There's been a little lady-on-lady crime in my life recently, where a person was asking me about my schedule and, like working mothers everywhere, I have to work and I have help. I'm lucky to have help with my kid, and then you've just got to make it work. In my case, I'm a lot luckier than some people who have to work two jobs and, you know, I sometimes get to bring my kid to work and all that stuff. But this woman was like, "Oh, my God, your hours! You just work so hard! How do you do it?" And I realized that, "How do you do it?" really means "How could you do it?"
Isn't that interesting? I was like, "I want to punch you fucking right in the mouth."
Even when you were pregnant, you said you'd get a lot of unwanted advice. And now people are still butting their noses in.
Yeah, there's an unwritten rule that women who stay at home are supposed to pretend it's boring, and women who work are supposed to pretend they feel guilty, and that's how it works.
That's a good observation.
Women fuckin' torture each other. It's just constant. That's the weird part of all of this; the drive-bys, the comments that, like, weirdly stick in your head that are just projected shit that women tell each other. It's such a drag!
I like how you call it "lady-on-lady crime," because nobody would ask a dude questions like, "How do you do it?"
My cousin Lynn, who's a working mother, she would be in meetings and guys would be like, "I gotta leave early you guys. My kid has a baseball game." And people would be like, "Oh, my God, that's so cute! He's leaving early for the baseball game!" But then when a mother says, "I have to leave early 'cause there's a baseball game," everyone's like "We really need you here."
Are people asking if Archie is going to be funny because he has two comedian parents?
Actually, he has the personality of a French New Wave film. He's really serious, very abstract.
I like that answer. Now, you've probably been asked this before, but I was wondering who your influences were growing up in terms of becoming a funny person.
You and I grew up around the same time. Do you remember watching SNL growing up?
Yes. I especially remember watching some of the musical acts when I was in the fourth grade and thinking, "What is this?" I think I remember Mick Jagger singing "Shattered" and David Bowie in a dress.
Wow. We have to point out to the readers of BUST now that Dratch is a human jukebox. I challenge anyone. Dratch knows the lyrics to any song.
Well, from a certain era. I don't know today's music. And Amy knows every rap song, by the way. That's a little-known fact. I remember in Chicago, Amy was the cool chick who was genuinely into rap. You weren't into rap like, "Look at this funny blond chick listening to rap." You were genuinely way into it. You're the human rap jukebox, if they have rap jukeboxes.
I remember meeting the Wu-Tang Clan one time, actually it was RZA from the Wu-Tang Clain, 'cause he did an episode of our UCB show, and I remember rapping all of his lines back to him and thinking "I'm probably not the demo he was going for. I'm not his favorite demo."
Since this is the cover story for BUST's Holiday Issue, I wanted to ask you about the tradition you started with your family of giving gifts that follow a theme. That sounded like a really cool idea! I think you guys dropped it, but it sounded cool.
I did it for a couple of years. Me and my bossy self, I said to my family, "Let's pick a theme instead of picking indiscriminate gifts." I have a small family, just me, my brother, and our parents. And we usually buy presents for each other, so I decided to pick a theme. One year the theme was "light." My dad's year, he picked "insects," and that was fun because I bought my mom Burt's Bees products and I got my brother, like, 20 tarantulas.
In a stocking! What did you really get him?
I forget. I got my dad this cool key chain thing with a bug in amber.
Now, this will be Archie's second Christmas 'cause he was only a few months old last year.
Right. Well, Will and I were just talking about what we're going to do for his birthday, because it's kind of weird to have a birthday party for a one-year-old kid. We were thinking, maybe a cool tradition for Archie's birthday every year is...
...20 tarantulas?
Yeah, 20 tarantulas, turn 'em loose. Um, no, we were saying we could do something for someone else. Like, donate money or time somewhere, and then it might be a nice tradition for Archie when he gets older. He can decide, "OK, it's my birthday. Today I should spend part of the day doing something for someone else."
Wow, that's pretty good.
I asked him right now what he wants to do and all he wants to do is poop in his pants and take a nap.
What would be your dream job if you weren't an actor?
I'm going to say tour guide. I'd like to be an expert on a historical building or museum. I could have a little bit of an audience and be an expert and talk about this thing I'm really passionate about and work from, like noon to four. What about you?
I would be a therapist. Sometimes I still think about doing that.
You'd be a great therapist.
I like analyzing people's dreams and my own dreams, too.
That's literally a dream job, by the way.
You're right! So, I found out that our movie Spring Breakdown has a cult following at the BUST office and they want to know what the shoot was like.
So much fun. It was anything goes. And we shot it really fast, like in eight weeks.
Yeah, and it didn't get released. But it came out on DVD and people keep coming up to me saying how much they like it.
We could speculate as to why it didn't get released, but at the end of the day, people liked it, and certainly, the experience of doing it was top-notch.
It was top-notch, and I think you can see that we were having fun shooting it, too. We had youngsters behind us pretending to be drunk. And we both made out with younger men!
That's right. That's in our contracts. Whatever we do, we have to make out with younger men. Can I ask you, how do you feel about this term "cougar"? I hate that fucking word.
Me too! Since the dawn of movie-making, there have been so many scenarios where an older guy is with a younger woman, and we don't bat an eye. But if it's reversed and a 40-year-old woman is with a 35-year-old guy, she's called a "cougar."
I know. Once again, there are these derogatory boxes that people have invented that they have to put themselves in. And why isn't there a word for the inappropriate older guy with the younger girl? What is the exact word for that?
I don't know... Gray Balls?
Old Gray Balls! Oh he's a real Gray Balls! Maybe we should make it Clark Gray-Balls. There's just something about a 20-year-old calling someone a cougar that makes me want to punch them in the mouth.
Right. One more thing that I wanted to throw in, in terms of Amy Poehler being a feminist, is Parks and Recreation. I just watched the one where the guy didn't know who Madeleine Albright was, and I love how you weave feminist role models in there. Did you have a hand in creating the show?
No. Michael Schur and Greg Daniels had this idea of wanting to do a show that took place in a small department of local government, and I think they thought of me when writing the part of Leslie, but they came to me with that idea, and then we shaped that a little bit.
What about the idea of her aspiring to be like Hillary Clinton? Was that from you?
Well, we talked a bit about this woman who's in government and is ambitious. Who does she admire today? It's been such a nice change over the past few years, how many more female voices there are in the political arena. But my character, for comic effect, kind of has these people who are much more powerful than she is in her sight. She has this idea that if she keeps moving up, she might find herself at lunch with Nancy Pelosi. They're like her sports heroes, you know?
Now, you played Hillary Clinton on SNL and got to meet her and everything. Is she in your phone? Do you have her phone number?
I don't have her phone number. But I have received really pleasant calls from her, and I've received a couple of really nice old-school letters that I will treasure. She sent a really nice letter when Archie was born.
Oh, wow!
Like, "Welcome to New York." It was, like, the classiest thing.
I was wondering if you'd ever want to do dramatic roles.
Yeah, I would be scared, but I would want to. I've talked about this before, but I wish back in the day I could have been on an old Law & Order episode with Jerry Orbach and played a street punk.
Oh, that would be good. I can see you as a street punk. You could be rapping on the corner.
Who gets immediately shot.
Do you want to reflect on the time we spent together on SNL?
Well, I can wax nostalgic about it... by the way I just read somewhere that the word nostalgia is Greek for "pain from an old wound." And I thought, "Ooh, that's interesting!" The difference between memory and something that's nostalgic is that it has to hurt a little bit. Isn't that interesting? But I have to say, that job is so hard, you get a trench mentality where you all were in the trench together. And anyone who worked there will always be able to go back there with you and talk about their experience. It's a really cool club to belong to. We're like a bunch of vets. You and I had known each other for a long time and it wasn't until we started working together at SNL that we got to be really close friends. I feel like the journey on that show for both of us was very intense and I couldn't have picked a better person to be able to share that experience with.
Aww, I feel the same. We would write together a lot. There was a little group of like-minded ladies there, and we would all write together. Like you said, if you're in the trenches and know the highs and lows of the job, you understand. In my little intro I wrote about you, I said you were a pioneer because you didn't stick around Chicago waiting to move up the ranks at Second City. You took this huge risk and moved to New York and started this theater from the ground up that is now the city's biggest improv draw. Can you talk about that?
I was thinking the other day about this. I was talking to a friend who is changing jobs and relationships, and we were talking about chapters of life. It's so wild, there are times when your chapters blend into each other and other times when you really feel them end very hard. The early Chicago days were such a rich chapter in our lives. It was a time when we had the right combination of narcissism and naivete and a lack of responsibility to anyone but ourselves. But since I was part of the UCB, I had a little bit more bravado at the time because I had a tiny little gang. I don't know if I would have been able to make those moves on my own.
I feel like it's that time, when you're in your 20s, when you're still like, "I want to do improv!" that you can go do it every single night. And like you said, because of the narcissism and the drive, you are just always seeking out those opportunities.
I just think very fondly on that time; everyone around was so funny! This is how emotionally unstable I am. I was driving a couple of days ago, kind of burnt-out from work, and Willie Nelson came on, doing "On the Road Again," which is a great song. And he sings the line, "The life I love is makin' music with my friends."
Cue waterworks.
Exactly, cue waterworks. I was like, "I cannot believe I'm fucking crying." But that line, "The life I love is makin' music with my friends..." I'm just so lucky. My life is so lucky. I am surrounded by people whom I find really interesting and creative. And the people I get to hang around with are so funny. I'm so lucky to be around those people.
That's a good little burst of gratitude!
Yup, change your attitude, get some gratitude!

for me no-one has proved he doesnt exist so he could still be real....
i completely argee. How can a child trust a parent who just makes people up? i stopped believing in him when i was 6/7 and christmas didnt change for me. Also does believing in santa make you behvae any different during the year as he is meant to ( the whole good list bad list.)
Well it's not as if you can make them not believe.
If Santa and the Easter Bunny are constantly shown on the TV, shops and just generally in view of the public and widley believed by other children then they'll likely come to their own conclusions no-matter what you tell them.
My Grandparents constantly told me God was real and that I should become a Cristian yet I'm still an atheist and have never been to church during a service, only weddings and funerals.
I believed what I wanted regardless of what I was told so I can only assume other kids will do likewise.
Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a Harpsichord sining "Subtle plans are here again!"
midnight mistress (Nov 02, 2008)
Haven't we had this conversation before? Our youngest is less then 7, we've never told him Santa is real, and he's still excited at Christmas. His imagination is amazing too. Our oldest figured out who was doing it years ago and now he asks to help play Santa for his brother and is excited to do it. You don't have to lie to your kids to encourage make believe, just play along with them instead. Honestly I think they like it better that way.
midnight mistress (Nov 02, 2008)
Uh oh Mirokuu that's a big no no with ladies when you don't remember your conversations with them . For me I just think 7 is a bit old but at the same time there shouldn't be a age line for kids. Me for some reason just simply had a light bulb go off one day and I knew all the stuff were fake. No one needed to tell me.
'Cause you give me something / That makes me scared, alright / This could be nothing / But I'm willing to give it a try / Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart
As it is with all things: If something is taken to the excess, it can be harmful.
There's nothing wrong with letting a child develope their imagination, which can help them later on in life since it can help them with problem solving skills (Allowing them to imagine different outcomes)
midnight mistress (Nov 02, 2008)
I dont think believing in Santa can allow a child to develop their' imagination skills, isnt that what fairy tales are for?
it depends santa and the tooth fairy are alright but something else could cause mental issues or something

Problem Solved- ZDZ80
After talking to some others and searching the forums, I saw that the Zenoah GT80 may be a better choice. The tradeoff there is Fuji BT86Ei for $700 vs Zenoah's great reputation and widely available parts- but Magneto based ignition. Besides, I couldn't find a good drawing of the GT80 anywhere to see if it would fit in the cowl.
Long story short, the Bob Dively Stearman didn't seem to have enough cowl ventilation (~1/4" around cowl perimeter only ~7 sqin and not flow efficient) so I went for a slightly used "just broken in" ZDZ80 for $600 w/Pitts muffler included. As I have come to understand it, the mfrs generally grossly exaggerate the available HP so you need to base decisions on flying/hover performance EXPERIENCE and the ZDZ80 actually delivers near the performance of a DA 100 due to its light weight. That of course is dependent on the plane and its weight. Thanks for the feedback- first one is always a tough one and the more non-commercial input the better. HNY |
Jan 01, 2007, 02:15 PM | |
Umm- the point I failed to make is that I'd probably have to punch holes in the (now cylindrical) spun aluminum cowl anyway for adequate ventilation. So I figured what the hey- mount a big single can "popper" inverted and who cares if the plug sticks out of the cowl 1/2" on the bottom. My guess from Troy Built Models 55# THRUST estimate is that the ZDZ80 may actually climb out of a hover on a 35# plane. I used to fly with Gene P and I don't think he's big on blowing smoke. If he says it delivers 55lb thrust then he probably measured it (statically). Dinking around with static thrust a few years ago in 40ish engines, we found that prop selection based on our measured static thrust is a good indicator of hover performance- which makes sense.
My only question now is how the ZDZ80 VR I just got differs from the ZDZ80 VR-J currently on the market. Thanks again cap232ac for helping put my ideas in order. |

Redirect to Giant Scale forum?!
I think I may have asked these questions in the wrong forum. Apologies.
For anyone that happens to stumble into this thread, here's a lifeline- be sure to see the Giant scale forum for more info- for example the following thread is a good overall intro to the gas engine choices out there: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...&highlight=ZDZ You need to decide between the cheaper heavier engines and the performance ones early in your shopping! |

Hard moves from here lead to a dramatic rock-over to grab the right-hand bar. Mantel this and head diagonally right to another bolt. More thin moves lead out to the last bolt near the arete on Pail Rider which is joined for its final moves. © ROCKFAX climb to the left of pail rider. six bolts and the r/h bar for a runner half way up. shares same lower off as the next two routes.

Holly McCamant: When is your last day of summer?
"This is going to be a great last day of summer," I tell my dad as we pull out of the driveway.
We're on the way to La Barista, my favorite coffee shop and the best spot to write articles for the Wave section. I may have not gone to both coasts this summer, but something about this one was special. I worked through my sickness, got to swim and run a lot, and a week ago, I got a new sister from Germany.
"Holly, the last day of summer was on Saturday," my dad retorts back.
