Today's guests:
Yonah Alexander — Head of the Potomac Institute's International Center for Terrorism Studies
Unrest overseas has led to the death of an ambassador, and it's raising questions about diplomatic security across the world.
The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies' International Center for Terrorism Studies, hosted a panel discussion on diplomatic security to examine some of the issues surrounding the death of Amb. Chris Stevens and other State Department officials at the U.S. consulate in Libya.
Professor Yonah Alexander, the director for the International Center for Terrorism Studies and a senior fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, joins In Depth to discuss the threats faced by diplomatic employees.
Dr. Robert Shapiro — Former Undersecretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs
Economic issues, such as the impending fiscal cliff, could have huge repercussions for the federal workforce.
Dr. Robert Shapiro, the chairman of Sonecon and the former undersecretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs, joins In Depth to discuss the biggest issues facing federal employees if sequestration happens and the government tumbles off a fiscal cliff.
Mark Forman — Co-founder and President, Government Transaction Services
The first major federal IT reform in almost a decade could be on its way through Congress. Rep. Darrell Issa, the chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee has introduced the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act. The bill would try to solve a long list of problems faced by agency chief information officers.
Mark Forman, the former administrator for E-Government and Information Technology and the co-founder and president of Government Transaction Services, joins In Depth to discuss the proposed reforms and whether they go far enough in addressing the IT concerns facing agencies today.
David Berteau — Senior Vice President and Director of the International Security Program, Center for Strategic and International Studies
The Defense Department's contract spending for 2013 is still a mystery. But a look into the latest spending trends could give you some clues about how much money might go where.
David Berteau, the senior vice president and director of the International Security Program at the Center for International and Strategic Studies, discusses CSIS' annual report on defense contract spending and discusses the major trends.

Greg Garcia — Senior Vice President and Director of the International Security Program, Center for Strategic and International Studies
Draft language for a cyber security executive order is out from the White House. The administration is trying to do what Congress didn't, when they left for election season without passing cyber legislation.
Greg Garcia, principal at Garcia Cyber Partners, and former assistant secretary for Cyber Security and Communications at the Homeland Security Department, shares his take on the draft EO and whether it addresses the most important cybersecurity concerns facing the government.

Dubrovnik, Croatia
My Rating
Pretty comfortable vehicle and we had an excellent guide named Milka, she was informative and had a good sense of humour. There was no need to stop in the gaudy pilgrimage town of Medjugorje, this was a total waste of almost an hour. The visit to Mostar with a local guide was excellent as well as our stop in the town of Pocitelj - we could have used the wasted hour in Medjugorje to add a half hour to the time available to see both Mostar and Pocitelj.

We had an excellent guide named Milka who was enthusiastic, informative and had a good sense of humour. The minivan would have been great except for the lack of legroom (I am only 5'10" and had put my legs into the aisle as my knees were being crushed into the seat in front of me). It's all beautiful: the Bay of Kotor, Perast, Kotor, Budva and Sveti Stephan. Having done this day tour, we are ready to see more of Montenegro some day.

Just love it i'll by some more on my next purchases
29 May 2014 by
I got a set of these. They work well, easy to squeeze and good flow. They were on sale, I don't know if I would have paid full price for them. Bonus points for the orangey-red part matching my bike.
22 April 2014 by
excellent bottle for the price. the cap provides for a good grip on pulling the bottle out of the cage. and the design allows to drink all the content to the last drop.
21 April 2014 by
Got this bottle for free due to a promotion. Standard bottle. Nothing really to say about it. Looks pretty sleek though!
9 October 2013 by
I got this as one of the promotions through the site. It's a great bottle and have been using in the office rather than spoiling its nice details on the cages. Hard to recommend a bottle anyway but can't think of anyone going wrong if choosing to get it.
7 October 2013 by
Nice size bottle. Flexible enough. Doesn't leak. Think I still like my Camelbak more though due to its valve. Cant complain much though, as I received it as a promo.
3 October 2013 by
Good size, fits bottle cage well, doesn't leak. Not much more to say
17 September 2013 by
Great bottle...especially since it was free!
1 July 2013 by
I got one through a promotion, but it surprised me with the quality and ease of putting them back in the Elite cages that I have on my bike. Although that's no wonder, considering that it's essentially a rebranded Elite Super Corsa!
However, it's still much easier to handle these in any circumstances than my Camelback Podium one, the only downside comparing to the Camelback is the easy of shutting off the Camelback as opposed to these.

Interview: Naina Khanna
Back when HIV was first diagnosed in San Francisco, it hit the gay male population hard. Since that time, the virus has spread to more diverse communities. Naina Khanna is the executive director for Positive Women's Network, which represents more than 2,500 HIV positive women. In 2010, she was appointed to president Obama's Advisory council on HIV/AIDS. When Khanna herself was diagnosed with HIV in 2002, she was actually working on a different political campaign, as she told KALW's Ben Trefny.
KHANNA: HIV really lives at the intersection and shines a spotlight on so many different ways in which people are marginalized.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Brewers option Green to Nashville
Houston -- Seeking to get him some more consistent playing time, the Milwaukee Brewers optioned infielder Taylor Green to Class AAA Nashville after their 5-3, 10-inning win over the Houston Astros today at Minute Maid Park.
The team announced no corresponding move, but manager Ron Roenicke indicated another position player would be added sometime later this week.
Green heads out having hit .198 with two home runs and 10 runs batted in over 81 at-bats.
Green had started just one game since mid-June, and with Corey Hart entrenched at first base, Rickie Weeks at second and Aramis Ramirez at third his role would have remained as a bat off the bench moving forward -- a tough gig for a young player like Green, whom the Brewers remain high on.
"I told him I feel bad because I know how hard the job is," said Roenicke, himself a utility man and pinch-hitter during his days in the major leagues.
"I know we need to get him three, four, five at-bats, and he hasn't had that for a long time. The job gets more difficult when you don't do it, and we need to get him back swinging it. That's the right way to do it -- let him get the swing back, and then we'll see where we are."
Green said he understood what the Brewers are trying to accomplish with the move.
"Absolutely," he said. "I completely understand. You've got to find a way to put up numbers coming off the bench, which isn't the easiest thing to do. But my confidence is still there. I've had good at-bats.
"I feel confident. I know I'm going to do well; there's no doubt in my mind. Then I'll wait for my next chance."
Green said he's been told he'll play first, second and third base in Nashville.
He opened the season there, and hit .287 with a homer and seven RBI in 27 games before being recalled on May 6 in the wake of the rash of injuries to Mat Gamel, Carlos Gomez and Alex Gonzalez.

To me, it's actually a common sense thing since I'm a natural DIY person. I looked under and located where the water was coming from, At first I thought it's a major problem like a crack on the bowl that is holding the water(or whatever it is called) and needed to be replaced. I ordered the part online and replaced the pump as soon as it arrived and I did not wait long. I just needed a pair of pliers to remove and replace the pump, it's pretty easy. I did not have to follow the online instructions to remove the cover from the frame to finish the job. I know I saved a lot of money by doing it myself.

Are you looking for a natural rope banding or a stylized one? Would a series of slanted "S"s work? It seems there are 3 elements to each "rope turn" – the 2 end curves and the center straight segment, perhaps it would be easier to build that way rather than trying to create each "turn" out of a single piece of wood.
All of us are watching, fascinated, as you work this out!

These Two Guys Want to Turn The Entire Planet Into a Typeface
The duo want to find buildings that look like letters from a bird's-eye view and create an alphabet from the images.
The duo want to find buildings that look like letters from a bird's-eye view and create an alphabet from the images.
Google is taking us where no Street View camera has taken us before: into the Arabian desert on the back of a 10-year-old camel, named Raffia.
When they house 1.5 million people, and with 85% of residents owning mobile phones, it makes some sense to have them on side.
Tourists directed to roundabout in Trafalgar Square, even though you can see the carbuncle from most of the city.
Before the year is out, you will have yet another alternative to Google and Apple Maps.
This fledgling program hopes to blend Web Audio API, Amplifon, and Google's Street View together, meaning as you wander Street View, location-appropriate sounds follow you.
High-res Google Maps here we come.
Clearly the driver wasn't using Google Maps to get around.
To celebrate the second anniversary of the Curiousity rover being on Mars, Google has launched Maps for Mars and the Moon. Getting pin man into space is pretty easy, if you follow a few steps.
If it's raining (or about to), the Explore feature will warn against going to a nearby park, for example.
Any committed cyclist will be acutely aware that the feature was one of the main things missing from Google's cycling navigation, so it's great that it's now here.
Next on the wishlist: Live Post Office queue length data.
You can put a Starbucks on every corner, but you can't take away our London Underground signs, America! After briefly replacing them with the Metro logo thanks to a bug, the Tube roundel has returned to Google Maps.
Ever try measuring the straight-line distance between two points on Google Maps? You had to hold some object or appendage up to the little scale, then eyeball-measure the distance on your screen. What a mess. No more—a new update puts the task a right-click away. Also, you can doodle with it.
We might be out of the World Cup but the tournament is still rolling, and so are the easter eggs.
While the up-close-and-personal view of the venues is definitely the highlight here, you'll also be able to check out the traditional painted streets around the area.

Nathan Lane boosts end-of-era tale
The lead protagonist of Douglas Carter Beane's Broadway play, "The Nance," thrives in a world of duality. Nathan Lane's character conveys infectious mirth onstage, but his rancid self-loathing is so palpable that we leave the Lyceum Theatre on 45th st. shaken by his penchant for self-destruction.
John Lee Beatty's revolving set allows director Jack O'Brien's end-of-an-era production to play out its two-pronged tale: Set in 1937 during Mayor Fiorello La Guardia's campaign to eradicate burlesque shows on the New York City stages, it tells the story of Chauncey Miles (Lane), who works as a nance—a staple homosexual vaudeville character, conventionally portrayed by a straight actor, who's tasked to entertain the audience in between striptease sketches.
In reality, the veteran stage comic is far from straight—and the irony isn't lost on the feisty Mr. Miles: "It's like a Negro doing black face," he quips. The contradictions don't end there—he is also a staunch Republican who utters lines like, "'Say something nice about Roosevelt (a Democrat) and prepare to have your eyes scratched out," when he isn't cruising for hot guys at automats after work.
With La Guardia's frequent raids putting Chauncey's career at risk, his world becomes even more complicated when he meets gorgeous but homeless out-of-towner Ned (Jonny Orsini), especially after the young guy ends up in his bed—and, thereafter, falls in love with him!
Cheap thrills
But, is Chauncey ready to give up cheap thrills for the love of one man? Needless to say, monogamy is a strange, new addition to the aging comic's romantic vocabulary—and something he isn't emotionally equipped to deal with.
Lane finds the perfect role to display his range and versatility because, while Chauncey's winsome stage persona is the type that gets theatergoers' high-fives and hearty guffaws, his offstage person is cynical and unapologetically flawed.
The challenge to stay true to his character is greater because, in a play (where music is incidental, and actors can't just burst into song or hide behind production numbers), it's easier to see through performers who wing it by playing to the peanut gallery. The thespic balancing act is decidedly complex for any actor worth his salt—and Lane comes out of it with flying colors!
But, the seasoned actor's Tony-nominated portrayal wouldn't have been as memorable and moving without Orsini's fusion of "beauty" and vulnerability.
In a world as repressed as the hypocritical '30s, the young actor's earnestness provides a psychic balm for a marginalized sector in dire need of hope and reassurance. Talk about "too good to be true"—Ned is the Real Deal! Unfortunately, Chauncey is too caught up with his issues to see beyond his young lover's ability to satisfy his voracious appetite for sex!
Lane and Orsini aptly juggle humor and pathos as they paint a painful but searingly realistic portrait of a flawed gay man—and his ceaseless search for affirmation and redemption!

frequently asked questions
Why do I need the Kitchen Safe?
Short Answer – Because it's really cool! And, it's been scientifically proven to increase your chances of reaching your goals.
Long Answer - The Kitchen Safe was developed based on research published by scientists at MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, and Yale. They discovered that pre-commitment can significantly increase our chances of achieving our goals. Pre-commitment is the notion of committing to a smart choice now, when you know you'll be tempted by a bad choice later. We've taken years of inter-temporal and willpower research and reimagined it into a fun and effective product that helps people reach their goals. If you're interested in this stuff, here is a great TED talk on the subject.
How does the Kitchen Safe work?
The Kitchen Safe is fun and easy to use:
- Place an item in the Kitchen Safe
- Rotate the button to set the timer
- Press the button to activate the lock
Once locked, the Kitchen Safe will not unlock until the timer reaches zero.
How big is the Kitchen Safe?
The Kitchen Safe's dimensions are: 6.25" Width x 6.25" Length x 7.5" Height
Are there any built in overrides?
No. The Kitchen Safe was designed to only unlock once the timer reaches zero. No cheating!
How long can I lock the Kitchen Safe?
The Kitchen Safe can be locked for as short as one minute or as long as ten days.
What can I store in the Kitchen Safe?
Almost anything! The Kitchen Safe is designed for safely storing food and many other items.
Can I put the Kitchen Safe in the freezer or refrigerator?
The Kitchen Safe will work in the refrigerator but not the freezer. The condensation from the freezer may damage the electrical components and will void the warrantee.
How should I wash the Kitchen Safe?
The lid houses electronics so it is is best to wash the Kitchen Safe carefully by hand.
Is the Kitchen Safe BPA free?
Yes. The Kitchen Safe is safe to store food; it is made of BPA-free food grade plastics, the quality standard of the industry.
Do you have a user guide?

I had some discussions yesterday regarding the combat in TSW, so I decided to throw a video together with some footage I got last night to help illustrate my point to the more visually oriented folks. Keep in mind that this video was shot after the NDA was lifted. No broken or perceived as broken abilities (i.e. Explosive Expert) were used during this video. I tried to focus on the more even fights (lots of 1vs1s, 1vs2s and some 1vs3s) since it's hard to get a good idea of how the combat works in more chaotic zerg vs zerg fights. Most of the opponents I'm fighting are CB testers with QL10 FATE gear (4k+ HP). I'm wearing QL10 greens as well.
Link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcxpEXbxcw4
I know the video is boring. I'm mindlessly smashing 2 buttons the entire time, and I facerolled everyone doing it. I did this intentionally to illustrate why I think the combat is poorly designed and why it favors boring, repetitive gameplay. Here are the biggest offenders:
Superfluous abilities: The majority of attacks (i.e. resource builders and spenders) feel like they've been copied and pasted. Heck, even a lot of the animations are identical. The minuscule differences between them don't have a big enough impact to warrant using more than one of each. For example, once you have a decent synergy with a builder and a ST/AOE spender, you're pretty much set to faceroll your way through 99% of the content in the game, including PvP, by smashing 2-3 buttons ad nauseum. If you played SWTOR, I have two words that describe this perfectly: TRACER MERC. Every build I've tried in two months' worth of testing feels like a tracer merc, hitting the same 2-3 button over and over again. Every once in a while I'd throw in a different ability, mostly because I got bored though, it's not actually necessary. So what's stopping me from using my other slots to build an engaging rotation you ask? Well, continue reading.
Ability Cap: Or how TSW rewards you for using boring rotations. Here's the thing most people don't realize yet: due to the homogenization of attacks, passive abilities have a bigger impact on your DPS (and healing to some extent) than the attacks you use. You might think I'm bullshitting you. After all how could that be true when abilities like Thor's Hammer hit so hard? Well, it's actually not that good. People who have done the math will tell you that you're actually better off just using a rotation like the one shown in the video (i.e. frantically spamming two buttons over and over). You can accomplish this with pretty much any two attacks if you know what you're doing. Mine's actually not even that good compared to some other mindless rotations I've seen, but I'm a sucker for Chaos and punching people in the face. I guess I'm glad the animations are identical in this case.
How does TSW reward you for this? Having the attacks not make much of a difference forces you to limit the number of attacks you have. Since the majority of them are more or less the same, you'll do just as good with only 2 or 3 compared to someone packing 3 consumers and 4 spenders. In addition, you'll have 4 slots where you can put things that actually make a difference like defensive CDs, damage buffs and CC. The problem with this is that those useful abilities generally have long cooldowns (5 out of 7 of my abilities have 45sec CDs), which leads to mashing the same 2-3 buttons 90% of the time. One way to fix this would be to raise the cap to 10 abilities. Were that the case, I can see myself including at least 2 new attacks to my rotation, since the numbers of additional active buffs and CCs I can have is already limited by the weapons I have equipped. While hardly game-changing, adding two more bread-and-butter attacks could go a long way in keeping me awake, and might even provide a slight improvement, but with a limit of 7 active abilities? No way Jose. There's better stuff to consider. The other (and most likely to happen) way to fix this would be to nerf the handful of decent actives left into the ground, thus making everything as boring and uninspired as the majority of attacks. Until then, mashing the same 2-3 keys is the price I and many others will have to pay for the sake of effectiveness.
tl;dr: the degree of similarities between the majority of abilities and the limitation on how many you can use at a time just seems like a very lazy attempt at balance and it's the reason why the combat feels lackluster. The other MMOs I've played that limited you to such a small number of active abilities compensated by giving you access to ALL the attacks with the weapon you were using so the combat wasn't as repetitive. I know that simple, mindless rotations are not new to MMOs, but this is the first game I've played that actually punishes you for doing the opposite.

OMG this proves nothing. First you edited out points where you basically smashed faces.
second and this is most important.
You used F.A.T.E. to automatically level yourself to QL10 max abilities. Those people you go up against aren't.
/end thread.
Thanks for the post Krytycal. I have to agree with the part about the whole builder and finisher. I combat does make alot more use of movement than current mmos, but the systems, instead of using the abilities in a situational maner, causes too much rotation spam. I still prefer it to traditional mmorpg combat, but they could have made it alot better. Also, i'd say a good way to counter this is by switching out of decks from time to time.
Anyway, while i'ts not very good, i'm not really playing this game for the combat. That's my last priority, so, whatever.

I edited out points because I didn't want to make the video too long. I would love to show you the 2 hours of footage I got facerolling people. Better yet I could show you in person if you're in CB.
Don't be such a blind fanboy, I love this game as much as the next guy, but it will never improve unless we recognize what's wrong.

Well i actually like it to be that way. About 4 buttons mashed during fight (1 builder, 2 ST spenders, 1 AoE spender), 3 more buff/cc/heal/etc buttons and of course passives. For me it's fine like this, really. I don't want a bar with 15 attacks.

Well I think there are bigger fish to fry when it comes to combat like hit detection for example. This game does have redundant skills, using a shotty I had two moves that were pretty much the same. I kept one and replaced the other with something more useful.
My biggest peeve with combat was not being hit but still taking damage and that's one thing I would like to see fixed. I climbed up ladders and took damage out of the reach of my attackers. On the run with nothing touching my character I am taking damage. Also not being able to sprint when you really need to, to save your life.
After playing a while you acquire way to many abillities to keep redundant ones on your build though so I see your complaint as more of a self imposed problem. I used all 7 slots constantly with my shotgun/blood magic build.

I agree for the most part with OP. Although I don't mind nearly as much as some. I'm not really playing this game for the "fun" combat. I'm playing more to screw around with the skill wheel and the setting.
I do wish they didn't make CC's so weak in PvE and the range on ranged weapons so short. Once again it looks like, due to them needed to balance PvP and PvE together, PvE got the short end of the stick. If you want to make a character that's almost solely a buffer/debuffer/CC support class forget about it in this game.

This is basically the reason why I don't plan on purchasing the game. I literally just spammed 2 buttons almost the entire time. No CD's on stuff, you just spam. I definitely like the feeling of using your CD's wisely like in GW2 over the combat in TSW so far.
If the combat was more interesting, it would be a must buy for me. Unfortunately, the gameplay >> all else, and I don't feel it is all that great. The fact that I only played the CB for a few days and have no desire to login anymore isn't good.
Also, a lot of the people you were fighting in that video seemed like keyboard turning retards. No offense to anyone he smoked ;)
I am glad some people enjoy it though, to each their own. I hope you continue to play and enjoy the game. I may take another look at it on down the road if some combat changes come. The whole quest system and world feels very refreshing, but just like SWTOR, it won't do it for me if the gameplay isn't solid as a rock.

I realize that. But many of the "finishers" have no bearing on how many "builder points" you have built up. So I found myself literally just spamming 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2. Also, it is the exact same mechanic on every class in the game. And you can only have 8 skills on your bar.
Don't get me wrong, I like the less skills that make a bigger difference (I hate games where you have 8 hot bars on screen), but the pistol class and choas class felt pretty similar. Played both of these through the first zone. I might need to give it more of a chance to warm up to it?
Maybe it is more dynamic later with "finishers" that need 3 or more built up points, or something, I don't know. But I played through the entire first zone, and was in the second, and it didn't seem to get much deeper than literally just spamming 1-2, while popping a couple other abilities here and there. For 95% of the PvE, I literally just spammed AoE's while popping defensive CD's before engaging. Even the first dungeon seemed pretty mindless for the most part, I didn't even die :(
I like to get my ass kicked and be challenged. Pulling 5 groups of mobs at once and AoE'ing them down with ease seems a little too easy to me :P

later on you get a wider variety of not only finishers but abilities that do more damage depending on how many resources you have built up..so basically you can have finishers for each weapon on top of skills that hit harder with more resources but these skills are generally on a CD.. Can't argue it's pretty basic at the start but really can't think of any themepark MMO that isn't right off the bat

Reading your post it seems that you only had one weapon equipped? Each builder builds one resource for both weapons, so at least you should be spamming 1-2-3-1-2-3.
Most inner circle cells have one consumer that benefits from/requires more than one resource. There are plenty more in the outer circles. I was running a chaos/pistol build myself, and there are very few areas in Savage Coast where you can pull five mobs and just aoe spam them using 1-2-1-2 etc.
I'm sorry you didn't find any challenges or fun with combat in TSW, but maybe if you gave it another try and looked a bit closer on the possebilities available in the ability wheel, you might find it more entertaining. Probably not though, I guess;)

I agree that the combat is poorly designed, and it seems that the developers have only recently been trying to improve it based on extensive comments on it from the CB.
However, I do not think that the combat was every the selling point of this game and it does improve the more you can mix and match tier 3 abilities on the wheel. Right now I'm running a build that is tolerable, and allows me to more fully enjoy the positive aspects of the game. I'm currently investigating Transylvania about to head into the second zone, and I do enjoy the characters, some of the quests, and the storyline.

Oh, and try Chaos/Shotgun ;) I found it to be quite fun. I tried it alongside Chaos/Pistols on my first character.
.. But in a good way.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Wisconsin really likes this Rodgers guy
We all understand that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is popular in Wisconsin.
A quarterback with a Super Bowl championship who follows it up with a 7-0 start in the next season is going to be a popular guy.
But according to a recent poll, Rodgers is not just popular in Wisconsin. He's insanely popular.
According to Public Policy Polling (PPP), based in Raleigh, N.C., Rodgers is viewed favorably by 89% of the 1,170 Wisconsin voters it surveyed from Oct. 20-23. Only 4% had an unfavorable opinion of him. A total of 7% answered not sure.
PPP said it has never in its polling experience encountered a favorable percentage as high as the one for Rodgers.
Respondents were asked the same question about other Wisconsin sports figures:
- Packers coach Mike McCarthy (77% favorable, 7% unfavorable, 16% not sure)
- Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema (48% favorable, 8% unfavorable, 44% not sure)
- Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre (41% favorable, 45% unfavorable, 15% not sure)
Respondents were asked to pick the greatest quarterback in Packers history among Arnie Herber, Bart Starr, Favre and Rodgers.
A total of 36% picked Rodgers as the greatest, followed by Favre (29%), Starr (23%) and Herber (2%). A total of 10% said they were not sure who the greatest Packers quarterback was.
Vince Lombardi (56%) was chosen as the greatest Packers coach, followed by Mike McCarthy (13%), Mike Holmgren (9%) and Curly Lambeau (7%). Not sure took 15% of the vote.
When asked to name their favorite Wisconsin pro sports team the voting fell: Packers (70%), Brewers (13%) and Bucks (3%). When asked if they cared more about Packers football or Wisconsin Badgers football, 61% said Packers and 18% said Badgers.
The poll was conducted through automated telephone interviews. The margin of error for the survey is plus or minus 2.9%. The complete results of the poll are posted at the Public Policy Polling web site.

Sleeper Bus from Shanghai
Never, ever, if you value your sanity, take a sleeper bus from Shanghai to Xuzhou! We had a nightmarish, "squashy" ride to kick off our Qingming Festival holiday trip in April 2009.
The bus took on a host of extra passengers by the roadside after we left the main long-distance bus station in Shanghai. Needless to say these passengers and the driver were trying to save on money by not buying official tickets at the long-distance bus station. Since we were one of the last to board the bus at the station (and since everyone just took places anywhere they liked regardless of what was printed on the ticket), my 2 friends ended up side-by-side on the upper level at the back, and I got the lousiest space ever possible on a sleeper bus: at the very back and in the middle!
The extra passengers (from what I could see, all migrant workers) all crowded to the back and the ticket guy on the bus started asking them to pay for their ride. To my indignation, he kept asking me (in some strange dialect, but we could all figure out what he was talking about) to pay for my ride, even when I told him many times in no uncertain tones that I got on at the station with an official ticket! Had to yell extremely furiously at him before he reluctantly left me alone, though I'm sure he still thought I was cheating him out of his "deserved" money.
Well, that wasn't the end of our troubles. This particular long-distance bus was actually terminating somewhere in Shandong province, further north. Thankfully I had asked about the time and location that we were supposed to arrive at, in Xuzhou, as we had to inform our CouchSurfing host in advance. We were told that we would arrive perhaps around midnight or a bit after, at "somewhere near the train station". Very clear indeed! In the end we ended up being dumped unceremoniously somewhere in Xuzhou (thankfully, apparently not too far from town) at around 0230! Taxis were waiting for passengers and we got a ride to Carrefour (where our CouchSurfing host stayed, in the middle of town) for 10 RMB.

No English Spoken
If you're visiting Xuzhou for the first time, you probably will find the problem of communication. Since Xuzhou is not a large city in China (and not as accessible to foreigners as Beijing or Shanghai), many locals do not speak English. It would be best to have a tour guide who speaks Chinese. If not, try your best to communicate to your taxi driver where you want to go (point to a location on your map or write down the location in Chinese). There are not many westerners or foreign tourists in Xuzhou (but that does NOT mean you can't go!).

Lillian Lorraine
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
Nils Hanson talks about Lillian Lorraine, who was in Ziegfeld's 1910 Follies and went on to become one of the most famous entertainers—and target for tabloid gossip—in America. The biography Lillian Lorraine: The Life and Times of a Ziegfeld Diva recounts her meteoric rise and fall from grace.
Guests:Nils Hanson
Comments [2]
The guest is mistaken or misunderstood about "Row Row Row." "Row Row Row Your Boat" is the children's round, which is a very old folk/nursery rhyme. The Ziegfield Follies song was titled simply "Row Row Row," by William Jerome/James Monaco.
The chorus goes:
And then he'd row, row, row
Way up the river he would row, row, row
A hug he'd give her
Then he'd kiss her now and then
She would tell him when,
They'd fool around and fool around
And then they'd kiss again.
And then he'd row, row, row
A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh,
Then he'd drop both his oars
Take a few more encores,
And then he'd row, row, row.
"Row Row your Boat" was composed by Eliphalet Oram Lyte which he published in Franklin Square Song Collection in 1881. The Follies didn't come for some 20 years later.
