Presto card readers slow to arrive at some TTC stations: The Fixer
A sign led riders to believe the high-tech equipment would be installed last November at Museum station, but it is nowhere in sight.
Don't believe everything you see on a sign, particularly in a TTC station.
The much-anticipated rollout of the Presto electronic fare card on the TTC continues to lurch along, behind schedule and with hiccups that have some people thinking it was a mistake.
Presto allows TTC and GO Transit riders to load cash onto a card, which is electronically deducted when the card is tapped on a reader at the entrance to stations, streetcars and buses.
But implementation has so far been limited to 14 stations, while the schedule calls for readers to be installed at another nine stations and on 50 streetcars by the end of this year.
TTC chair Karen Stintz has said she expected Presto to be in place across the entire TTC system in time for the 2015 Pan Am Games, but is now doubtful the timeline will be met.
Riders at Museum station might be thinking the same thing, after a sign announcing the arrival of Presto went up last fall but was recently taken down, while the readers have yet to appear.
A reader complained on SeeClickFix that the sign said installation "was to begin 29 September 2013 and be completed by 4 November. When that deadline was missed another sign went up with a deadline of 31 December.
"When that deadline was missed, the sign was simply removed without any further information provided."
The reader posted a photo of the sign, which said "we are preparing this station to support the future installation of Presto electronic fare payment equipment," with a Nov. 4 completion date.
STATUS: TTC spokesman Danny Nicholson pointed out the sign said the work was to support the future installation of Presto readers. It was meant to alert riders to preparations for the equipment, not the arrival of readers, he said. The TTC still doesn't know when they'll be installed at Museum, he said, noting it's up to Presto. Nicholson added that the TTC will be clearer in its future Presto signage. Good idea. It may have been well intended in putting up the sign, but it created the illusion that card readers would soon be in place. It also contributes to a perception that Presto has so far failed to meet expectations.

http://www.lessonsthatrock.com has been serving the local community with guitar, bass, piano, drum, ukulele and music lessons for over 10 years, and has plans to continue teaching thorughout the Southern California region.
Cajon lessons are the latest offering of music lessons offered from Lessons That Rock that includes electric and acoustic guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums, and ukulele. The private cajon lessons will be offered 7 days a week in our client's homes, and at their convenience, anytime from 8 am to 8pm. People interested in our cajon lessons can learn more here:
Cajon lessons are a great way for young kids and children to start learning percussion or drums. Cajon only uses two sounds and thus is more simple than drums and easier for kids to pick up and understand. Cajon is also perfect for performing local coffeehouse shows where a drumset might be too loud, or there might not be enough room to fit a full size drumkit.
Learning cajon allows kids the option to play individually or in small groups with other students such as guitarists, bassists, vocalists and pianists, which gain them more experience and confidence. Once they learn how to play cajon on their on, and in a group of other musicians, they are able to perform shows to show off their talent and abilities. You can learn more about our group music lessons here:
Lessons That Rock owner, Micah J. Mata has experience teaching children as young as 3 years old on playing drums, and feels that cajon will be a great addition to their line of music lessons. We plan to teach modern rock, pop, blues and country songs on cajon, and hope that cajon students can one day make the transition to playing drums. The great thing is cajon can be an easy secondary instrument to learn for any student, instantly making new cajon students a multi-instrumentalist.

St Peter's Church : Michelin's recommendations
This is the Gothic Church from the old Benedictine abbey of St-Père-en-Vallée. The clock tower door dates from a pre-Roman building. In the arches to the right of the chancel the oldest stained-glass windows depict in hieratic forms people from the Old Testament. Vibrating with colour the stained-glass windows of the hemicycle of the chancel were installed around 1300. Finally installed (around 1305 - 1315) were the windows of the nave alternating important people with medallions.

I'm glad New York didn't join New England's Lucky for Life now that I've learned about Cash for Life.
New England L4L carries 41 million to 1 odds to win $7,000 a week for life. Cash for Life has odds 20 million to 1 LOWER for the exact same prize.
Also L4L has a second place prize of $25,000 per year for life. The new game in New York pays $52,000 per year for life for second place, but New England's odds to win 2nd place are far lower than Cash for Life. Don't know why that would be, but from what I've read so far, it seems to be the case.
G5, gauging from your results in Dead Milly, I think all you might get is a three bagger.
$600,000 / $1,000 per day = 600 days
$600/365= 1.6 years of equivalent richness.
$600,000/52,000 per year = 11.53 yrs
If hardly anybody could win SM at 1:4,000,000 odds, how do they expect ANYBODY to win at quadruple the odds?
The odds of the 2nd tier prize is 1:7,000,000.
The immediate payout of 600,000 in one day IF you win SM, now will be replaced with a eleven year wait to get the same amount of money IF you win the new game.
If NY's lottery tentacles could reach the West Coast l would be all for this game IF only California could rid itself of that Infernal game called " Daily Derby" and replace it with this one.
Yes, Yes, Yes LB.. what you say is all true
But all I wuz sayin' is Cash For Life is a better game than New England's L4L. I didnt say I wuz gonna play the dadgum thang!!!
Winning a Jackpot - unlikely but POSSIBLE!
Yes, they want or need the tax money. [ BIGGER PICTURE] IT will provide up to $9,000,000 [more] to educate your children !!!!!!!! This way taxes may not be raised on the home owner's.
They need the money for lavish public employee pensions!

NY Sweet Million being canceled to make room
By Todd Northrop
The New York Gaming Commission on Tuesday agreed to roll out a new multi-state lottery game on June 13 that would pay the top winner $1,000 a day for life.
The lotto game is called Cash For Life and it will replace the under performing Sweet Million jackpot game.
Commission members voted to bring in the new lottery offering at a meeting on Tuesday in New York City. The new game would include New Jersey players, and other states might join in after this year. Interested states include Virginia and Ohio.
"Sweet Million was underperforming and Cash 4 Life is a multi-state game that appears to be doing well and New York wanted to take part in it," said Lee Park, a spokesman for the state Gaming Commission. [Editor's note: the spokesman may have been referring to the multi-state Lucky for Life game played in New England states that uses a similar but different game format.]
Cash 4 Life tickets will be available for sale at $2 each starting Friday, June 13th. Drawings will take place on Mondays and Thursdays.
To play the game, a player will select five numbers between 1 and 60, and one "Cash Ball" number between 1 and 4. The player wins the top prize of $1,000 per day for life by matching all five numbers plus the Cash Ball.
Several additional prizes are available by matching other quantities of numbers, with or without the Cash Ball. (See prize chart below.)
Lottery officials expect the new game to provide up to $9 million more in education aid than the $16.6 million produced last year by Sweet Million.
Drawings will be on Mondays and Thursdays starting June 16.
Prizes and odds
There are nine prize levels in the Cash 4 Life game.
The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 8.
Odd of 1 in 21,846,048, $2 a ticket, and people will be lining up to play it!
The lotteries shouldn't be taxed at all!
I guess I should correct my incorrect third grade math as I did not take account into tax theft for the multistate game.
600,000/600.000 per day = 1000 days
1000 days / 365 days = 2.7 years of equivalent richness.
600,000/32,000 per year = 18 .75 years WAITING for the same equivalent of money!!!!!!
5 out of 60? That is worse than Euromillions! I don't play Euromillions.
Yeah, $2 per line is tough on the lottery budget.
Since there are 60 balls in play, hitting a 5/5 match (2nd prize) is harder with this game than winning Powerball's 5/5 2nd prize.
Yea, I don't know if this is better or worse.... then SM... seems EVERY time they replace or change a game they make it harder to win.
But the payouts a better...
I'm not surprised. People line up to play PowerBall for 2 bucks a pop too.
While it's true this new game doesn't have a multi-million dollar top prize, I'd spend two bucks on it before I spend that same two bucks on PowerBall.
Hell, you cant win it at 21 million to 1, so to my simple mind 175 million to 1 is even more ridiculous.
Oklahoma needs a game like this.
I Love Pink & Green 1908
Because there are only 4 bonus numbers, there should be many more smaller secondary prize winners in this game than in PB. The prize for matching 5 + 0 is about the same in both games though winners in this game will have to wait 20 years.
Scratch-offs are still the most popular lottery games and probably because of the much lower overall chances of winning ratio. The ratio is listed as 1 in 8 for this games, but if a player purchases 4 tickets each with a different bonus number, one is guaranteed to win something.
Maybe now our luck will come true,with this new game for New York.Some thing tells me I,will love it.
just like i love the take 5 game. Good luck Everyone.
[If hardly anybody could win SM at 1:4,000,000 odds, how do they expect ANYBODY to win at quadruple the odds?]
Well they won't have winners if no one plays. The game wasn't good and the players showed it. Not sure how this will do but i think when people hear 1k a day, they will go on a spending frenzy.
First off let me say I think my math might have been wrong again.
I need to try again with a pen and paper and a calculator.
The reason people did not play was foolhardy. I argued with a few about it. They said "nobody wins the SM, I want to play MM or PB.
"I dont play because nobody wins." I dont really see the logic in that.
Many people said "People dont win because there is not enough coverage."
I dont really believe that either. People dont win because they dont pick the right numbers!!
The game was good. But only if you won the JP.
The whole notion of making somebody want something by twisting words is interesting.
They might of as well called the SWEET MILLION,
"The win 1000K a day for 1000 days game."
Would that increase sales? I dont know.
But when you have shapeshifters like Corn Toss mandating and dogmatically saying that the only way to win is by playing Dumb Picks, then people will not try and play more sensibly.

A day with Tee and his family.
Trip Start
Sep 21, 2005
Trip End
A day with Tee and his family.
We got up around 8 this morning, expecting to leave early to go to Tee's house. We waited around most of the morning for a vehicle to take us out there. Derek was feeling a bit worse to wear from last nights session, so he was glad for the time delay. Tee was already down there and Delly was supposed to take us up in a car, in the end we just went on a bike, yep three of us! Tee had asked us to bring some drinks along as a contribution to the party. We picked up three bottles of whiskey and a couple of coke from the store before getting on our way. Things were a little tight to say the least, it took about an hour to get to Tee's village, but it seemed to take forever, we had to stop a couple of times for a stretch.
The gathering was in remembrance of Tee's mother, who had passed away a few years ago. We got to the farmhouse to find the festivities well under way. Tee was sitting with friend and family enjoying food, drink and each other's company. When we arrived they lay some fabric on the floor and we all sat around, they brought out plate after plate of food and the drink started to flow. We were under the shade of a tree so the midday sun didn't really bother us. Tee's younger brother is a Buddhist monk, I took some time out to speak with him and find out more about Buddhism. It was nice to be able to talk with him on a friendly level about his faith and beliefs.
Next to the house they have a pond, Tee told us that the fish we had been eating were from that pond. He offered to show us how they catch the fish. Most of them were drunk by this point, but that didn't stop them having a go. They spent about 40 minutes in the pond and caught about 12 fish, the fish went from the pond into a bucket and then straight to the frying pan in a matter of minutes! Delly caught the most fish but he got but by something in the pond for his troubles. There was this one guy there, he was a friend of the family and apparently a police officer, but to look at him you would think it at all, he was soooo funny, he just looked like a joker! (see pics). At one point my shades did the rounds and about 6 different people tried them on, including the joker. By the end of the afternoon everyone had been drunk. and some of the guy's had even sobered up again, there was a guy sitting next to me who had a 30 minute long conversation with me in Cambodian (no I didn't have a clue about what he was saying) then started singing (see vid). All in all we had a great time, Cambodians are very much like Indian's in that they have a lot of family values. I noticed that Delly gave some money to Tee's kids, nieces and nephews, this is something we do in Indian culture too. I had a bit of a walk around in the village before we left, it 's a really nice, quite and calm place.
We left the house at 4.30pm. Delly, Derek and I were on one bike, Tee, his six year old son and his brother (the monk) were on the other. Both our bike got punctured on the way back, first Tees then about 15 minutes later ours. We stopped off to see the sunset on the way back and reached Kampot around 6.30pm. The other guest who had been on the tour arrived soon after us, they all said they had a good time but they were shattered.
Later in the evening I saw some people playing games in the street across the road from the GH, I went over and asked if I could join in. it turns out they were all teachers form the school and they were playing games in preparation for the New Year celebration. It was girls vs the boys and the game was pretty simple so I joined in. They were using seeds, that were about 3inches wide and about an inch or so thick, they were like large pebbles and just as hard! What we had to do was, the girls were standing about10 metre away from us and they would stand three seeds up in front of them, we had to try and hit the seeds from where we were standing using our seeds. It was all good fun until we lost! What they didn't tell me when they explain the rules was that if we lost the girls would hit our knee caps with the seeds (rocks!), they also had tree hits each, and there were about 8 of them, you can do the math yourself! All I know is it was a lot of hits and they heart!!! With in a matter of minutes my kneecaps had swollen up. Not one to give up easily I had another go, we won this time but I was disappointed to learn that we only get to hit the girls on their kneecaps once, what happened to equal right for women and al that? Another lesson learned!
I called Sri Lankan airlines today to change my ticket, I got a flight leaving on the 9th, so I have changed the outbound date. It means we will have to get back to Bangkok a bit earlier than planned but that's cool. I'm really looking forward to catching up with the lads and seeing my folks.
I found a huge cockroach in our room, normally they don't faze me but this one could fly! How freaky is that? I didn't realise they could fly. Derek was quite content to leave it on the window above MY BED, but I wasn't having any of it. I managed to get it onto the floor and then put a cup over it. I didn't want to squash it because it would have made too much of a mess.

Wow finished nightshift at 6 am went to bed , got wakened by some tele marketer went back to bed and lo and behold 4 inches of snow.
Arrived in to work after skidding three times and twice because of idiots that think give way means someone else will and had to brake harder than I would have liked, then the final time was down to the deep snow as i made a (slow) turn within Eurotunnel, no damage done but a tad concerned as to the falling snow and the temp still sliding down the scale..... Tis a mere three miles to walk home, and yes it just might come to that !
Four days off now and plan to be out and about for three of them. Two of them shooting in local areas and one day at the old market on Sunday presuming it is going to be on, of course .....
Thanks to Jonah for pointing out my frailities in dates

dc.description.abstract | Introgression of reproductive traits from ball clover (Trifolium nigrescens Viv.) into white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is one breeding strategy to improve seed yields of T. repens that must be achieved without sacrificing agronomic performance and persistency. The yield and persistency of hybrids between white clover and the annual, profuse flowering species T. nigrescens were compared under a cutting regime over three harvest years. The hybrids included the F1 and the backcross (BC) 1, 2 and 3 generations produced using T. repens as the recurrent parent. Parental species and hybrids were sown with a perennial ryegrass companion; clover and perennial ryegrass dry-matter (DM) yield and the proportion of clover present were measured over the growing season. In the third harvest year, a portion of each plot was grazed. Differences were observed between T. nigrescens, the F1 and the backcross hybrids and T. repens. In the first and second harvest years, clover DM yield, the proportion of clover present and total DM yield of the backcross hybrids were similar to T. repens, whereas that of the T. nigrescens and the F1 hybrid were negligible. No significant difference in perennial ryegrass production was observed between the parental species and the hybrids when grown, respectively, in combination with these species and hybrids. In the third harvest year, clover DM yield and the proportion of clover present with the BC3 was lower than with T. repens. Throughout the growing season the DM production of T. repens and the backcross hybrids was similar. In the third harvest year, under cutting, DM yield of T. repens was greatest and that of the BC3 lowest, but under grazing, the yields of the BC1 and BC3 were greater than T. repens and the BC2. The implication of these results for the future development of these hybrids is discussed. | en |

The music on this latest release by US instrumental outfit Djam Karet was recorded live in the studio without any overdubs or computer manipulation. Featuring wailing guitar solos, beautiful analog synth melodies, and a hard-hitting rhythmic attack, The Heavy Soul Sessions showcases the band at its fiery best. In order to create a livelier and more dynamic sound, no compression or limiting was used during the making of this CD. ----------- In 2010, the 5 members of Djam Karet performed some rare live shows, which included music from throughout their 26 year-long career. When the band returned to America, they decided to record some of their live repertoire in their own private studio to better capture the group's live sound. From this, the CD "The Heavy Soul Sessions" emerged. In order to achieve a livelier and more dynamic sound, all of the music was performed live in the studio without any overdubs. Additionally, no compressors or limiters were used during the recording process. The resulting CD possesses a sound that is dynamic, vital, punchy and powerful. On the song "Hungry Ghost", the twin lead guitars and mini-moog play together in blazing unison, driving the music forward and finally ending in a passionate crescendo. Bringing the intensity down a little, "Consider Figure Three", demonstrates the Ambient/Electronic side of the group as altered voices from the netherworld float through a soundscape of dark, melancholic beauty. "Dedicated to K.C." was composed by Richard Pinhas (of Heldon fame), and is the only cover-song the group has ever recorded. Originally appearing on his 1982 release "L'Ethique", this powerful and melodic song fits in perfectly with the highly dynamic feel of this unique entry into Djam Karet's back catalogue.
1. Hungry Ghost (8:32) 2. The Red Threaded Sexy Beast (12:42) 3. The Packing House (12:56) 4. Consider Figure Three (9:48) 5. Dedicated To KC (9:48) 6. The Gypsy And The Hegemon (10:55)

"This isn't merely DLC. This is a whole new game that should have been the first game."
When Harebrained Schemes released Shadowrun Returns, it was a missed opportunity. A fantastic Shadowrun story was wrapped in a mostly fun to play but badly balanced package with a save system that made me want to throw my computer out the window.
Now that I have played Shadowrun Dragonfall, I am forced to ask: why didn't we get THIS the first time?
Dragonfall improves on Shadowrun Returns in pretty much every conceivable way. The system featuring cover and turn-based tactical combat interspersed with lots of dialogue tress and exploration
largely the same. But there are so many design improvements that the game has been practically reinvented. Magic is now a legitimately viable option with some of the balance tweaking. Decking is largely optional but extremely useful when you make room for it in your party. There is a real, honest to goodness save system. A big, sprawling central hub is filled with NPCs with legitimately interesting stories and dialogue that develops them over time.
This isn't merely DLC. This is a whole new game that should have been the first game.
Minor spoilers ahead.
The concept hasn't changed. This is still orcs, trolls, elves, and dwarves in a cyberpunk future. Some of them have guns, some of them have datajacks in their heads, and some of them have bionic limbs. Corporations rule their own spots of territory with total impunity and sovereignty. While Shadowrun Returns took place in the quintessential Shadowrun setting of Seattle, Dragonfall takes us to Berlin. You play a recent arrival in the "Flux State" of Berlin, a place where rule of law isn't necessarily welcome, making it the perfect spot for your old companion, ace decker Monica Schafer and her team. The game drops you right in to your first run with your new companions, and it's supposed to be an easy one.
But this is Shadowrun. And nothing is ever a milk run. Before you know it, you're wrapped up in a plot involving the long dead dragon "Feuerschwinge" and much more than the fate of your empty credstick is at stake. If the story in Shadowrun Returns was well told but a bit generic, the writers really stretched their legs with the plot in Dragonfall. The characters on the team are all well conceived and right at home in the Shadowrun universe. From the ex-punk rocker shaman Dietrich to the old school cyberware equipped Glory, these characters could only exist in the unique Shadowrun universe. The writers took more advantage of Dragonfall's setting here by mixing noir sensibilities with truly outrageous but utterly coherent sci-fi and fantasy.
From a gameplay standpoint, exploration in Dragonfall feels more expansive than in the original Shadowrun Returns. There are things to interact with in every corner of your home base, and fleshed out NPCs populating every shop. There are legitimate side quests you can carry out on every run, with some of the objectives conflicting with others. While the game inexorably pulls you along in a single direction, it does a much better job of making you feel like your choices actually have some kind of impact on the universe.
The new music tracks are a simply terrific mix of techno, futuristic sounds, and old motifs. The different combat themes deserve special mention as they lent some real weight and excitement to the often deliberate approach I tended to take to battle.
Basically everything I said about the original Shadowrun Returns applies here, but in a vastly improved form. I am sure budget came into play with Shadowrun Returns and that is why the product we got felt a bit incomplete. That being said, I can't help but wish that Dragonfall was the debut product instead. I think it would have turned a lot more heads. Hopefully it turns enough to get us another official campaign from Harebrained Schemes. I recommend Shadowrun: Dragonfall much more easily and with fewer reservations than Shadowrun Returns and look forward to seeing what the player base does with the improved tools.

Guys, Last night I was checking that the car was locked up before retiring for the night. I found that the car was locked but the red led on the driver's door was not flashing, it turned out that he boot was open. This has happened a couple of times recently! The keys were not stored near the car so I don't believe that the boot release button had been pressed accidentally. Has anybody else experienced this?
Hello mate. I've had this happen many times on my saloon. I've always put it down to the boot release button accidentally being pressed. The car sits on my drive so when i'm home the keys are always within range (and they have quite an impressive range). Sometimes I've found the windows half down too which I've put down to the same problem. I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about. I always take my keys out my pocket when I get in now and put them somewhere out of reach of the kids. Doesn't seem to happen so often! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Cheers Mike

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Healesville Sanctuary's Australian Wildlife Health Centre is getting a new roof! The Health Centre will be closed to visitors from Friday 27 February until early May 2015.
Our hospital team is still receiving and treating injured wildlife while the roof works are in progress.
The Australian Wildlife Health Centre treats more than 2000 sick and injured native animals every year. It's also an important training centre for wildlife veterinarians.
As such, it's a vital service to the Healesville – and the Victorian – community.
The hospital team also conducts cutting-edge research into conservation medicine, clinical wildlife medicine and wildlife rehabilitation, and plays an important role in wildlife disease surveillance.
The Australian Wildlife Centre receives funding by the Victorian Government through the Department of Environment and Primary Industries.
Come and meet our amazing hospital team when the hospital reopens to visitors early in May.
You can visit the Australian Wildlife Health Centre and meet our vets and nurses, as they treat sick, injured or orphaned wildlife in need of care.
You'll hear the stories of our patients as they go on their journey from rescue, treatment and recovery, to release to the wild.
In the daily action of the emergency room, you can observe surgery and meet recovering patients. Try your hand at amazing interactive activities such as radio-tracking or heart-rate monitoring.
Our multimedia touch screens provide in-depth information about anatomy, nutrition, care, rehabilitation and conservation.
Most of all, you'll be inspired by the work our expert team do every day, at the forefront of wildlife care and welfare.
Later this year the Australian Wildlife Health Centre will become a focus of Wildlife Heroes with our new, kids-only vet hospital, within the hospital, that will entice kids to dress up and become a little hospital rescue team, saving plush toy patients.
We provide vital veterinary support for Healesville Sanctuary's threatened species conservation programs and conduct cutting-edge wildlife conservation research. We are also an important centre for wildlife disease surveillance.
The Centre has joined with the Department of Sustainability's Wildlife Management Unit to develop a 'how to' guide for wildlife rehabilitation in Victoria.
Guidelines will include information on how to rescue, handle, treat, euthanase, house and release injured or sick wildlife. The guide will be distributed to wildlife shelters, veterinarians and wildlife managers, to improve the welfare of injured wildlife in care across the state.
There's a whole family of people dedicated to wildlife care in Victoria. Thousands of wildlife carers volunteer their time to rescue and care for injured and orphaned wildlife. The rescue and rehabilitation process could not happen without this dedicated group of people.

There's a 1950s genre of films that asked to be decoded through a gay lens. They undermined the conventional view of straight, middle-class American life, inviting the irony of outsiders (homosexual or not). Their glamorous, overwrought heroines were role models for the emerging camp sensibility. Douglas Sirk's melodramas (among them "Imitation of Life," "Written on the Wind" and "All That Heaven Allows") are at the head of this category, and Todd Haynes' "Far From Heaven" (2002) was a film that moved Sirk's buried themes into the foreground. What made Sirk a great director is that his stories were sappy in a way that was subversive to the restrictive values of the time.
The whole point, though, was that his movies never copped to what they were doing. They didn't wink or nudge or engage in Wildean double entendres (well, maybe sometimes, as when Rock Hudson is told it's time to get married and says, "I have trouble enough just finding oil"). Sirk was as sincere about his surface story as he was about his subtext, and that's why his movies still function as real melodrama and not as camp. The strength of "Far From Heaven" is its complete earnestness; it isn't a 2002 satire of Sirk, but wants to be the 1957 movie he couldn't make. We can smile at the story's hysteria about homosexual and interracial romance, but those were not laughing matters in the 1950s, and the movie honors that.
The problem with "Die, Mommie, Die," a drag send-up of the genre, is that it spoils the fun by making it obvious. While it is true that late in their careers Joan Crawford or Bette Davis sometimes seemed like drag queens, they were not, and would have been offended by the suggestion. The lead in "Die, Mommie, Die" is Charles Busch, a professional drag queen, and the whole point of the movie is precisely that he is a drag queen.
There is a crucial difference between a drag queen and a female impersonator. Impersonators want to be "read" as women, and may sincerely think of themselves as women. That would seem to be the case with Jaye Davidson's character in "The Crying Game." The drag queen, on the other hand, wants you to know he is a man. Charles Busch is in that category; he looks like a man in drag, and that's the point. The performance consists of a send-up by a gay man of a straight woman, and the story is a lampoon of cherished heterosexual conventions.
It is also, of course, a comedy, and I know I'm getting awfully serious about something that intends to be silly and trashy. But I'm trying to explain to myself why it didn't work, and I think it's because drag queens are no longer funny just because they're drag queens; we've lost the nervousness about gender that once made us need to laugh at a man in drag. The material started out as a play, and probably worked better then, because a simpatico audience could make it an event.
The story stars Busch as Angela Arden, a failed singer married to a failing Hollywood producer named Sol Sussman (Philip Baker Hall). He makes bad movies but has lost the touch of making a profit on them. During his latest debacle in Europe, she's had an affair with the young stud Tony Parker (Jason Priestley). Now she wants a divorce from Sol, but nothing doing: "We're a famous couple, Angela, and we're going to stay together." Completing the Sussman household are their maid Bootsie Carp (Frances Conroy), their slutty daughter Edith (Natasha Lyonne), and their gay pothead son Lance (played by an actor whose name may really be Stark Sands, although that sounds like a retro product of the Rock-Troy-Tab name generator).
Angela has a singing engagement in a third-rate resort. Sol cancels it in a fit of rage. Angela strikes back. Sol has been complaining loudly (and, because this is the great Philip Baker Hall, convincingly) about his constipation, and so she poisons his suppository, ho, ho. Many complications ensue, all provoking Angela to run amok through the gamut of emotions.
Some of the dialogue and many of the gags are in fact funny. But the movie's reason for being is Busch's drag performance, and I didn't find anything funny because he was a man in drag. What was funny worked despite that fact. A woman in the role might have been funnier, because then we wouldn't have had to be thinking about two things at once: The gag, and the drag.
Imagine a very good actor who is also a very good juggler. You admire his versatility, but during "Hamlet" you'd want him to put down his balls during the soliloquies.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

There are many logical reasons for Oaks Christian quarterback Jimmy Clausen to commit to Notre Dame, but several sources said it did not help matters for USC that friction existed between Clausens advisor, Steve Clarkson, and Trojans coach Pete Carroll.
According to sources, Clarkson became upset with Carroll during Pro Day, when the pair clashed over who would run quarterback Matt Leinarts workout for NFL teams. (Yes, everything is related).
Clarkson is also an advisor to Leinart and when Leinart signed a deal with Creative Artists Agency in January, it was announced that CAA would also represent Air 7, which is Clarksons football academy.
In the end Clarkson supervised Leinarts workout at Howard Jones Field, but bitterness remained over the incident and sources said from that point forward, Clausen would be advised to go to Notre Dame.

Similar in being the team highest scoring center, heading into free agency, as last year Bozak produced more offense then Grabovski.
Back when Grabovski negotiated his deal he was the leading scoring center at the time.
This year Bozak plays on the #1 line, the #1 PP, the best FO man better +/- and produced more offense than Grabovski.
If he was brought back would you expect him to play ahead of or behind Grabovski on the depth chart? So since he is better than Grabovski in every aspect that is considered when awarding contacts, should Bozak ask for more or less $$ than Grabovski received in comparison?.
The Grabovski contract is a measuring stick because its a part of the Leafs internal salary structure.
Signature: There is no greater demonstration of Fan patience then to suggest to "Play the Kids " and be willing to accept the consequences of those actions..

China museum builder lets history speak
ANREN, China — From floor to ceiling, wall to wall, the narrow entry corridor at the Red Era Daily Necessities Museum is bathed in a blood-red light. There is no map, no brochure, no choice of direction; the architecture forces visitors forward, over glowing panels labeled by year: 1966. 1967. 1968. A few dozen paces later: 1976.
A roar comes from a sea of Red Guards in Tiananmen Square, chanting rabidly, captured in a film clip from the era. Mao Tse-tung strides into the frame, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.
The dawn of the Cultural Revolution in 1966 brought a decade of chaos, violence and persecution that ripped China apart. Friends denounced friends, parading them in dunce caps through the streets. Roving mobs smashed religious relics to bits. Mao was elevated to the status of a god, his face stamped onto billions of lapel pins worn like talismans....

Jay Cutler was part of the vetting process for Marc Trestman. More bizarre, Mike Martz flew to Nashville to be interviewed by Cutler before being hired as coordinator in 2010.
That cycle is no longer. This time Cutler will be told who his new head coach and coordinator are, not the other way around.
If he is still a Bear, that is.
"I don't see any players playing a role in that decision," Bears President Ted Phillips said on Monday. "Ultimately, as the process winds down, if a candidate wants to meet with whoever on the club, we'll obviously consider that at that point."
For all of what was happening on the Bears' private Black Monday, with general manager Phil Emery, Trestman and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer fired, and Ernie Accorsi hired to find GM and coach replacements, something was conspicuously missing.

Anaheim HotelsAnaheim is a playground for all ages, and the perfect spot for a family vacation, combining California sun with thrilling theme parks. The wide streets are lined with palm trees, and everywhere you look there are signs for one attraction or another, with Disneyland being the main draw in the area. There are also plenty of smaller attractions dotted around the city, as well as family-friendly restaurants and busy shopping malls, all full of staff waiting to give you a warm greeting and a friendly smile. Things to seeKnown for being the 'happiest place on Earth', a trip to Disneyland is every child's dream; and many adults too. It's a multi-sensory experience which is hard to take in all at once, with rides twirling, beloved Disney characters posing for photographs, and stalls and side attractions just waiting to be discovered. A particularly popular area is the Disney California Adventure Park, where you can stroll down several different districts, all with distinctly Californian personalities. From a pier with thrilling rides and fun games, to a replica of a studio's back lot, you can learn all about the diverse cities of California while having fun. Further family fun can be found at Knott's Berry Farm which features dozens of twisting rollercoasters reaching to the sky, as well as tumbling rapid rides, and plenty of milder thrills for the kids. Adults and older children will enjoy a day at the Flightdeck Flight Simulation Center, where you learn how to pilot a plane, then get to test your knowledge on-board a state of the art simulator. Enjoy the balmy Californian evenings at Angel Stadium, where you can cheer on the local baseball team, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Hotels in
AnaheimThere are plenty of luxury hotels in Anaheim, with family-friendly facilities such as outdoor pools, spa tubs, childcare centers, and multiple dining options. Rooms are also set up for those with kids, with free WiFi, MP3 docking stations, and LCD televisions to keep them amused. In the mid-range, there are several chain hotels where you can still enjoy excellent facilities such as cafes, meeting and conference rooms, fitness centers, spa services, and parking. Guestrooms will often feature plenty of extras including shower/tub combinations, high-speed internet access, and in-room safes. Those on a tight budget will find plenty of motels and inns close to the major attractions, offering clean, air-conditioned rooms for you to relax in. Where to stayMany visitors on vacation choose to stay close to Disneyland – Anaheim, as this allows them to purchase tickets for multiple days, and means they can explore the park at a leisurely pace. The area is clean and pleasant, with plenty of palm trees, and roads lined with family-friendly restaurants and fast food outlets. The Buena Park - Knott's Berry Farm area is in the northwest of Anaheim, and is a slightly quieter alternative. With white buildings and green suburbs, families are again the main focus of the area, although you'll also find plenty of younger groups enjoying the attractions.

"It's conveniently located near Disneyland. Clean room. Free breakfast was OK. Parking was a hassle. When there's no room, you need to valet park your car. There's a parking fee per day and resort fee."
