NORCROSS — A Norcross-area homeowner shot a would-be burglar in the face Thursday morning.
Gwinnett County police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said two men attempted to break into a home on Greenway Road — off Satellite Boulevard in unincorporated Norcross — at about 11 a.m. Thursday. They were unaware, though, that a resident was inside.
That resident called 911. When one of the burglars began crawling through a window a few minutes later, he grabbed a handgun and shot him once in the face.
"Both suspects retreated to a black passenger car and fled the scene," Smith said. "They were gone by the time officers arrived."
Within half an hour, police were notified that a man matching the description and injuries of the wounded burglar had checked into Gwinnett Medical Center-Duluth. Authorities responded to the hospital and found 22-year-old Tajh Guillont. He was taken into surgery in serious condition, Smith said, but will remain under guard.
"We don't know if he's going to pull through yet or not," Smith said.
Charges have not yet been filed against Guillont.
The second suspect, a black male with dreadlocks, was seen dropping Guillont off at the hospital before leaving in the same black passenger vehicle. He was captured on surveillance video but had not been identified or located as of late Thursday afternoon.
Duluth police did recover his car at an apartment complex near the hospital.
Authorities are not sure if the suspect is armed, but anyone encountering him should call 911. Anyone with information is asked to call Gwinnett County police at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS.

- Before & After
Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) is a non surgical, non scarring varicose vein treatment alternative that does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization, takes less than an hour to perform and provides immediate relief with little to no pain during the procedure. Laser energy is used to target and seal problem veins, which reduces or completely closes the vein, improving appearance and reducing pain and discomfort. To perform endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), a trained provider will use ultrasound imaging technology to map the veins in your legs and identify problem veins. A local anesthetic will be delivered, followed by the insertion of a thin laser fiber directly into the venous system. Ultrasound is used to guide the laser fiber into position and laser energy is delivered to the target area. This procedure generally takes less than one hour and is performed on an outpatient basis in a doctor's office. Patients will be encouraged to walk immediately after receiving endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) and will need to wear compression stockings for one week after the procedure. A follow up visit is required approximately one week after treatment to assess progress and determine if touch ups are needed. The cost of endovenous laser treatment will depend on your geographical location, the number of veins and treatment areas to be included and your EVLT providers individual fees. In some cases this procedure may be covered by medical insurance when required for the relief of painful symptoms often associated with varicose veins. To find out more about endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) and to determine if this is the right vein treatment option for you, contact a vein specialist in your area to discuss your options.
About Virginia Vein Care
Welcome to Virginia Vein Care!
Virginia Vein Care was founded to provide comprehensive treatment of venous disease. With a new location conveniently located across from Tyson's Galleria, Virginia Vein Care offers patient-oriented state of the art care to patients suffering from varicose veins and all forms of venous disease.
We offer services for both medically necessary and cosmetic problems. If you are suffering from sore, painful legs or perhaps have a "heavy feeling" as if you have been on your feet all day, you may very well have venous reflux disease. In addition, venous reflux disease is responsible for the bulging, twisted veins commonly known as varicose veins. Unsightly spider veins are also a direct consequence of venous reflux disease, also known as venous insufficiency.
Many treatments for varicose veins relieve symptoms without curing the underlying venous reflux disease that causes varicose veins, spider veins and eventually leg ulcers. At Virginia Vein Care, Dr. Markovitz and his knowledgeable staff will determine and discuss with you the best treatment plan needed to eliminate unsightly varicose veins for good.
A comprehensive and painless ultrasound examination is essential to the accurate diagnosis of lower extremity venous disease. Our certified expert ultrasound technicians have years of experience and provide a "roadmap" for the proposed therapy. In the past, the treatment of varicose veins often involved hospitalization and a surgical procedure. This is no longer the case, as Virginia Vein Care now exclusively offers the VNUS ClosureFAST™ procedure, a new minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. The procedure is performed in our office and in most instances patients return to work the very next day.
Some patients have even had the procedure performed on their lunch break!

Fanny White
Fanny White, a.k.a. Jane Augusta Blankman (March 22, 1823 – October 12, 1860) was one of the most successful courtesans of ante-bellum New York City. Known for her beauty, wit, and business acumen, Fanny White accumulated a significant fortune over the course of her career, married a middle-class lawyer in her thirties, and died suddenly a year later. Rumors that she had been poisoned caused a public outcry, which forced an inquest into her death.
Early life[edit]
Jane Augusta Funk was born on March 22, 1823 in Cherry Valley, Otsego County, New York, the eldest daughter of farmers Jacob and Jane B. Funk.[1][2] Her mother died when Jane was 8 years old and her father died in 1847.[3] She received a basic education and was considered a bookish girl.[1]
At age seventeen or eighteen, Jane "became the victim of a seducer."[4][5] A "seducer" was an older man who seduced naïve young women, often with a promise of marriage, only to abandon them. "Seduced and abandoned" women were considered ruined and were shunned by middle class Victorian society.[6] Seduction reportedly was the third most common "cause" of prostitution in New York in the early 1800s, after economic motives and "inclination,"[7] and was viewed as a social problem by moral reformers.[6][8]
In the fall of 1842, Jane went to New York City, to her older brother John H. Funk, a house carpenter who had moved there six years earlier.[4][9][10] Jane's husband would later accuse John Funk of refusing to help his ruined sister.[11] Jane found menial work at a hotel to try to support herself.[4] In 1843, Funk joined a "house of prostitution at 120 Church street," where she assumed her professional name of Fanny White.[4]
In ante-bellum New York most brothels were owned and controlled by women.[12] The average prostitute entered the business before age 21 and lasted four years.[13] Most practiced the trade part-time; few continued past age 30.[14][15] Many contracted tuberculosis or syphilis.[16]
Fanny White had the business sense and good luck to beat the odds. A few months after starting work at 120 Church Street, White moved up to Julia Brown's brothel on West Broadway, near the National Theater.[17] By 1847, the 24-year-old Fanny White was managing the brothel at 120 Church Street where she used to work.[18]
Also by 1847, she had met lawyer and Tammany Hall brother Daniel Sickles.[19] Fanny's staff considered Sickles to be Fanny's "man".[19] Nineteenth century prostitutes commonly had a "man" or a "friend" with whom they developed a romantic attachment.[20] A prostitute's paramour did not normally pay for her attention, although Sickles did give White generous gifts of jewelry and money.[21]
In 1851, White purchased a building at 119 Mercer Street,[22] which she outfitted as a discreet, high-class brothel. "[H]er customers were merchants, Congressmen, and those belonging to the diplomatic corps on visits to New York."[1] White carefully maintained good relations with the police so her establishment would escape official notice.[1]
Her indiscreet relationship with Daniel Sickles, however, attracted considerable notice. After Sickles was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1847, he brought Fanny to his hotel in Albany, where he introduced her around the breakfast table to the dismayed guests.[23] He took Fanny to visit the State Assembly Chamber, for which action he was censured by the Whigs.[23] Another evening the two of them went out on the town with Fanny illegally dressed as a man, and ended up spending the night in jail.[17] Sickles almost certainly arranged the mortgage on Fanny's Mercer Street brothel, using the name of his friend (and future father-in-law) Antonio Bagioli.[24] Rumors that Fanny contributed her own earnings to Sickles' election campaign would haunt Sickles for the rest of his political career.[24][25]
In September 1852, Sickles hastily married sixteen-year-old Teresa Bagioli.[26] Fanny was rumored to be so angry that she followed him to a hotel and attacked him with a riding whip.[27] But in August 1853, when Sickles traveled to England as the secretary to James Buchanan, the U. S. Minister to the Court of St. James, Fanny accompanied him in lieu of his wife.[28] One source alleges that Sickles arranged for her passport.[27] Fellow madam Kate Hastings moved to 119 Mercer to manage Fanny's brothel in her absence.[22]
In England, Fanny accompanied Sickles openly to theaters, operas, and diplomatic events.[29] Most sources agree that Fanny White made her curtsey to Queen Victoria at a reception at Buckingham Palace, where Sickles introduced her as "Miss Bennett of New York."[30]
Historians speculate that Fanny talked Sickles into the introduction, and that Sickles was further motivated by his intense dislike of both the monarchy and of the editor of the New York Herald, James Gordon Bennett, Sr.[29][30] Queen Victoria apparently never learned the truth, but Bennett was furious at the use of his name.[30] The Life and Death of Fanny White, however, alleges that White legally changed her name before she left for Europe.[27] And after 1853, Fanny White signed bank drafts and business contracts with the name "J. Augusta Bennett."[31][32]
When Teresa Bagioli Sickles arrived in London in the spring of 1854, Fanny White left.[33] One source claims that White made a tour of the Continent - she "visited Paris, Baden-Baden, Vienna, and other interesting and fashionable aristocratic resorts,"[27] and was removed from the Paris Opera by gendarmes after making a drunken scene - returning to New York later in the year.[27] Back in New York, White established a second brothel behind the St. Nicholas Hotel[27] and also resumed management of 119 Mercer Street.[22]
By 1856, Fanny White was seen riding around New York in the carriage of the wealthy, much older Jacob Rutgers LeRoy, one of the LeRoys of the Triangle Tract in western New York.[34][35] In 1856, she also turned management of 119 Mercer Street over to Clara Gordon and moved into a house she owned at No. 108 Twelfth Street, accompanied by two "lady boarders."[22][36][37]
Reform of Jane Augusta Blankman[edit]
About 1857, Fanny White met criminal defense lawyer Edmon Blankman, seven years her junior. They married in 1859 and Fanny White became Jane Augusta Blankman.[38] At the time of her marriage, "it was said she owned several houses in the city, which were allegedly gifts from suitors, as well as a $5,000 annuity and a real-estate lot reportedly given to her by a male friend."[22]
Jane Augusta Blankman was generous to her family. In 1856 she paid her brother John $2,500 for a lifelong lease on a house he owned, and gave the lease to their widowed sister, Mrs. Eliza Williams.[9] Jane contributed half the money to purchase a Funk family lot at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.[9] Jane bought her younger brother, Hiram Funk, enough shares in the Resolute Fire Insurance Company that he was able to obtain a position as surveyor for the company.[11][39] She helped to raise and she paid for the schooling of her niece, Lillian Bennett.[40] She owned the fashionable property at No. 49 West. 34th Street where she and her new husband lived as Mr. and Mrs. Blankman.[36][41] She refused, however, to sign the property over to Edmon Blankman when he asked for it.[36] When a friend asked her why not, Jane allegedly replied that "she was not such a fool," and "that ever since her suspicions had been aroused with regard to [Edmon] trying to have intimacy with her niece, she had lost all confidence in him."[36]
Her controversial death[edit]
On October 12, 1860, Jane Augusta Blankman died suddenly at home.[38][40] She was 37 and had no known children. Rumors began immediately that her husband had poisoned her to gain access to her fortune. Her brother arranged for an autopsy to be conducted by Doctors Finnell and Sands, who concluded that Jane Blankman had died of apoplexy.[2][41] Her body was packed in ice and taken to Green-Wood Cemetery to be interred.[9]
But on October 16, motivated by continued rumors of poisoning, city Coroner Schirmer and District Attorney Waterbury ordered that her remains be re-examined at Bellevue Hospital.[41][42] The three day inquest became a cause célèbre and was reported in The New York Times.[citation needed]
The doctors who re-examined Jane Blankman's body reported signs of exposure to tuberculosis and syphilis, as well as symptoms of cardiovascular disease and extensive bleeding in the brain, but found no sign of poisoning.[40][41] The Life and Death of Fanny White describes her as "frail," but the doctor who pronounced her dead described her as "very stout."[40]
On October 20, 1860, the Coroner affirmed the verdict of death by apoplexy.[40][41] Her siblings wanted to bury "Jenny" in the Funk family plot, but Jane Augusta Blankman's remains were buried on March 25, 1861 in the Blankman family plot at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.[9][43]
The "total value of her property at the time of her death was variously estimated at from $50,000 to $100,000"[44] - or $1 to $2 million U.S. as of 2010[update] - but that may have been a significant underestimate of its real value.[45] In the will presented by Edmon Blankman, Jane left almost her entire estate to her husband. Her siblings contested the will, claiming that it had been forged by her husband after her death.[46] On June 26, 1861, after months of acrimonious testimony, Surrogate William H. Freeland ruled in favor of Edmon Blankman.[47] Jane's siblings appealed, but the New York Supreme Court upheld the verdict in late September.[48] Edmon Blankman began liquidating his wife's estate in October 1861.[49]

Dawkins Foundation care packages go to atheists in foxholes
By JASON TORPY - MILITARY ASSOCIATION OF ATHEISTS & FREETHINKKERS
Added: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:30:51 UTC
Over the past several months, the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science has partnered with the Military Association of Atheists & Freethinkers (MAAF) to send over 150 care packages to military personnel around the world. These packages have gone from Japan to Afghanistan and Iraq. The Richard Dawkins Foundation, through its existing store has provided increased efficiencies to allow more packages to be sent out with the same level of funding.
Marine Sergeant Dakota Averill in Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, recently expressed his appreciation for the program:
I wish that I could explain to you the absolutely delightful feeling that a Marine gets throughout his/her whole body to see a package waiting for them when they get to work. after I started digging through the contents of my package I quickly realized that this was not a regular care package. To my surprise the first thing I picked up was that glorious italicized "A", and instantly I knew this was going to be a good one. I wanted to personally thank both organizations and anyone that personally had a hand in sending out mine, and any other's care packages. It truly brings a bright spot in what is normally a dull and ugly place to be.
Members of MAAF have the opportunity to sign up to receive these care packages. Care packages are one of several soldier support activities, including enlistment processing stations and thank you letters. The Dawkins Foundation includes food items, supplies like gloves and ziploc bags, and pins and stickers provided by the Dawkins Foundation. Occasionally books and other items are added

Today might conjure the weaknesses of a nation for some. It might conjure the horrible types of persons whom made September 11th 2001 what it was. For me today conjures a nation who I saw stand together. All differences put aside to mourn with one another, to rebuild, to rescue.
You may look at humanity today and say we are lost. So much hate, disunity, hell even evil. But all of that is not larger than the love for each other that I have seen shown on the day of and in the subsequent years. We are not lost. We have not completely hardened our hearts.
Take a moment with me and remember our brothers and sisters of our human family who passed from this earth in the events of September 11th 2001.

Daniel Day-Lewis holds record of winning best actor Oscar three times
LOS ANGELES — Daniel Day-Lewis has won the Academy Award for best actor for his exactingly authentic performance as President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's historical drama.
He is the first ever to win the best actor Oscar three times. He's been nominated five times, winning for "My Left Foot" in 1990 and "There Will Be Blood" in 2008.
The British actor spent a year preparing for "Lincoln," and, in his customary method, remained in character during the production. His widely-expected Oscar win further cements his status as the most admired actor currently working.
The other nominees Sunday night were Bradley Cooper ("Silver Linings Playbook"), Hugh Jackman ("Les Miserables"), Joaquin Phoenix ("The Master") and Denzel Washington ("Flight").
The 85th Academy Awards are airing live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles with host Seth MacFarlane.

Product description
For almost fifty years, Gregg Allman has been creating some of the most recognizable songs in rock music, and now, he shares the full story about the wild ride of his life. From growing up with his older brother, Duane, to forming the Allman Brothers Band, from run-ins with the law to jamming at the Fillmore East, Gregg goes behind the scenes of some of the greatest rock music ever recorded, while also speaking for the first time about the painful deaths of Duane and Allman Brothers bassist Berry Oakley. Setting the record straight about the band's struggles in wake of tragedy, he shows the heavy price of their decision to continue, discussing his own battles with substance abuse as he floated through a string of failed marriages, including his relation-ship with Cher, before finally cleaning up.Capturing the Allman Brothers ongoing, triumphant resurgence, Gregg presents a story as honest as it is fascinating, offering a glimpse inside one of the most beloved and notorious bands in the history of rock music.

Edible Manhattan's Good Spirits 2013
February 21's Good Spirits represents the second Edible magazine event I've had the chance to attend, the fourth time they'e done this particular event, and for my money they put on one of the best and best-organized food and drink events in the city. This year's event was held at 82 Mercer, and only twice in my preparation did I pause and stupidly ask myself what their address was. It's a nice space with two cavernous rooms which, for this event, were lined with tables staffed by some of New York's most interesting food, spirits, and cocktail makers. It's almost overwhelming the amount of food and drink available for the sampling, but Edible organizes their events in such a way that, even with a large crowd and a lot of vendors, it's easy to both gauge what you want and actually get to it. A lot of food and drink events are circus disasters, oversold, jammed too full of attendees, and impossible to move around during. Not so here. I know talking about crowd control and logistics isn't terribly exciting, but when you've been to enough events that don't have these things down, you suddenly realize how important it is and how much more enjoyable it makes an event.
A Tiki Oasis on the Island…Staten Island
Like many of the country's big city's New York was once a mecca for mid-century exotica, tiki bars, and places conceived entirely on the impressions of far away lands one could get from the album covers of Martin Denny or Alfred Lyman. Almost all of it is gone, though a few places still pay homage to American fantasies about Polynesia and the mysterious East. Nestled in a nondescript strip mall in Staten Island is New York City's last remaining vestige of authentic tiki culture. Tiki establishments usually came in one of two flavors: the Trader Vic's style cocktail lounge or the gussied up Chinese restaurant. Jade Island Restaurant, as you might guess from the name, is among the latter.
Food & Drink in San Diego
In November, I had a chance to visit San Diego for the first time. As befits a man of my tastes, the trip was built entirely around fancy places to eat and drink. San Diego offers a surprising number of options, both in the trendy, touristy downtown "Gaslamp" quarter, as well as in the surrounding suburbs and towns. With only a few days, I was hardly able to map any sort of definitive guide, and there were many stones left unturned. However, your pals at Teleport City — with an assist from accomplice Monster Island Resort — managed to hit enough bars and restaurants to make it worth jotting down on the off chance that you, too, one day find yourself in San Diego and long to follow in our footsteps. I was sans vehicle for most of the time and staying downtown, so most of my choices were driven by proximity as much as they were by recommendation. But either way, it worked out pretty well. As always, Greenie McGee of Greenie Travels fame was our regular partner in crime and is responsible for most of the pictures in this write-up.
A Limited Cocktail
When America jumped headfirst into the ocean of folly that was the Volstead Act and Prohibition, the dedicated drinkers of the United States found any number of ways to respond to the madness. Over in Paris, ex-patriots drinking at the epicenter of the modern cocktail scene, Harry's New York Bar, lifted their glasses in salute to their luckless countrymen who were forced underground and, in some cases, out beyond the three-mile limit that marked the offshore end of the US border. Three miles out, you entered international waters, and the powers of the US government to take your drink away vanished. So enterprising imbibers took to the high seas to enjoy their libations. Over in France, it seemed only appropriate to commemorate this new breed of seafarin' revelers.
And so Harry's bartender Chips Brighton paid tribute to Prohibition in the most fitting way he could: by creating a cocktail called The Three-Mile Limit.
Three-Mile Limit
- 1 tsp Grenadine
- 1 dash lemon juice
- 2/3 Brandy
- 1/3 Bacardi Rum
- Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
When the US government got tired of people hopping on boats and sailing three miles off the coast to legally booze it up, they responded by passing a law that extended the border to twelve miles off the coast — which, I guess, means determined nautical drinkers had to invest in slightly more gasoline, or you had to find yourself a slightly more accomplished captain. The cocktail world responded by beefing up the Three-Mile Limit in similar fashion, giving birth to both the Twelve Miles Out, which appeared in the essential Savoy Cocktail Book by legendary bartender Harry Craddock (who himself relocated to London during Prohibition), and the better known (relatively speaking) Twelve-Mile Limit, reportedly created by journalist Tommy Millard. Despite both saluting the limits of the reaches of Prohibition, the two drinks are fairly different:
Twelve Miles Out
- 1/3 Bacardi Rum
- 1/3 Swedish Punch
- 1/3 Calvados
- Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Squeeze orange peel on top.
Twelve-Mile Limit
- 1 oz White Rum
- 1/2 oz Rye
- 1/2 oz Brandy
- 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
- 1/2 oz Grenadine
- Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Where the agents of Prohibition pushed the limit by tacking on nine more miles (interestingly, that limit was only a threat — albeit an enforced one — until 1988, when Ronald Reagan made it official law), cocktail creators pushed the limit by adding rye whiskey to the mix. This being a Prohibition era cocktail, the rye would have been Canadian. However, I don't think anyone will fault you for substituting a superior American rye these days, just as I don't think anyone will tsk you for choosing a rum other than Bacardi. For your rye, try Sazerac Rye or Bulleit Rye.
In general, the Twelve-Mile Limit is considered the the stronger and better balanced of the cocktails, relatively speaking. I've tried the Twelve-Mile Limit as mixed by bartender Vince at Ward III. Prohibition era cocktails are not for everyone, mind you, and what's one drinker's pleasure is another's horror. A friend with exquisite taste in cocktails found the Twelve-Mile Limit to be utterly dreadful. I love it, likely because the lemon juice pushes the flavor toward another personal favorite, the French 75. It is very lemony, though, and very sweet, so if you don't favor drinking a highly alcoholic Lemonhead, you're probably going to be chalking this one up to historical experience. I'd say any good Repeal Day celebration (December 5) calls for sampling both the Three- and Twelve-Mile Limits, and you might as well have yourself a Twelve Miles Out as well, just to be safe.
A Drink Before Dying
It was a good plan for as long as it was working. You'd managed to sneak into the sprawling underground lair disguised as a member of an exotic dance troupe hired to entertain the madman's private army. The dance number was opulent, and you managed to maneuver yourself close to your target while still maintaining the beat on your tabla. But then his right hand man remembered you from a grainy photo handed over by a traitor somewhere in the ranks of Interpol. Suddenly you find yourself tied down in front of the villain in his egg-shaped plastic chair. He's going to kill you. An alligator pit perhaps, or some sort of slow moving laser so he can savor your demise. But first, he will do two things: explain his entire nefarious scheme for world domination, and offer you a last drink. That drink will almost certainly be a blended scotch whisky.
Bottled in Bond
'When I'm… er… concentrating,' he explained, 'I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad." – Bond. James Bond.
To call James Bond a thinly veiled wish-fulfillment stand-in for author Ian Fleming is to make the hilarious presumption that there's any veiling at all. The Bond of the novels was basically a walking, talking catalog of everything that happened to interest and delight Fleming at the time he happened to be writing that particular novel (the movie Bond, on the other hand, was modeled somewhat more closely after British director Terence Young). Whether it was a drink, a meal, or "Pinaud Elixir, that prince among shampoos," just about everything that fills James Bond's universe was ported over wholesale from his creator's life. And as anyone familiar with the books or the movies knows, alcohol occupies an important — more likely the most important — place in Bond's life. Not to mention my own. And perhaps yours as well.
Bagpiper From Bombay
Dev was secured to the rotating chair and flanked on either side by bald goons wearing a tight t-shirt and flamboyantly colored scarf. The man standing behind the vast desk was wearing a silver Nehru jacket accented with ribbons and golden cords of a vaguely military style. Behind the desk was a Plexiglass window looking out into the deep blue of an aquarium filled with sharks, and on the desk was the oval shaped viewscreen the fiend sometimes used to randomly call up and taunt officials in Mumbai. Dev's own lime green shirt with a playfully clashing tie that seemed to contain more colors than exist in the known universe was a splash of sharp contrast amid the austere modern decor of the room. The man behind the desk smiled at his captive.
Sinning in Sydney
After more hours than I want to count neatly folded into the capsules that comprise coach service on most major American air carriers; after finishing two Jim Butcher "Dresden Files" novels; after Justice League: Doom and Nameless Gangster; after all that, I stepped into Sydney, Australia with only a single thought in my mind: I needed a drink. Or two. Luckily, Sydney is a drinker's paradise, overflowing with dens of indulgence that run the gamut from historic pubs to modern cocktail bars with an eye focused on the American speakeasy. With an absurdly mild definition of winter greeting me, I knew I was in for a proper drinking adventure. While almost everything in Australia costs twice as much as it does in New York, the odd exception is the alcohol (purchased in bars that is). Australia's best drams of whiskey are poured for you at more or less the same price you would pay in a whiskey bar in the United States. Cocktails are comparable in price (but not always quality) to what you'd pay at any one of the many speakeasy-revival style bars in the States. And beer prices hover at about the same level as you'd pay for a pint of quality American micro-brew. So with those amazingly indestructible and colorful Australian dollars in hand, and after a brief stop at the hotel to freshen myself a bit, I was off.

Kristen Wiig and Annette Bening in 'Girl Most Likely.' / Nicole Rivelli, Roadside Attractions
As I mentioned earlier, today marks the DVD/Blu-ray release of Girl Most Likely, a comedy starring Kristen Wiig as a playwright who's forced to move in with her mother (Annette Bening).
The cast also includes Matt Dillon and Glee's Darren Criss, and the soundtrack includes Blondie's Sunday Girl, which I appreciate anytime I hear it.
Today I have an exclusive peek at the disc's "gag reel," which shows Wiig goofing off and the cast erupting into a spontaneous song about soup spoons. Enjoy.
The movie also is available on iTunes. Learn more about it at girlmostlikelymovie.com.

Questions are being raised about the treatment being meted out to international-level athlete Pinki Pramanik by the authorities as well as the media, even as the police and medical professionals are floundering while trying to conduct a conclusive gender-confirming test.
The report based on certain tests conducted by an 11-member committee at the State-run SSKM hospital was submitted to a district court in Barasat on Thursday. The team has not yet conducted a karyotype test, which depends on chromosomal examination.
"There is a lot that is objectionable in the way the case is being projected in the media," Malini Bhattacharya, former chairperson of the West Bengal Commission for Women, told The Hindu.
Television channels and newspapers covering the story have made no attempt to blur Pramanik's face in their images. Reports with claims that Pramanik "bribed officials to hide her gender," or those with misleading headlines: "athlete sent to jail for rape" (Pramanik has been remanded in judicial custody), are circulating on the internet. If the allegations against Pinki Pramanik are proven, then of course due punishment must be awarded. But in this case, throughout the investigation process, the athlete's ordeal continues, Ms. Bhattacharya said.
Ms. Bhattacharya said that although by law there is no provision for protecting the identity of the accused, in a case that is this sensitive, certainly there was need for greater discretion. "At the very outset, it was widely reported that a test conducted in a private hospital had proved that Pramanik was a man. The police had no reason for divulging such information," she said.
Ms. Bhattacharya also pointed out that until Pramanik's gender was proven, the athlete had to be treated as a woman. But throughout the conduct of the investigations, male policemen have escorted Pramanik.
"Irrespective of what the investigations reveal, why should Pramanik be subjected to this harassment and degrading treatment," asked human rights activist Sujato Bhadra.
Pramanik was arrested on the basis of a police complaint filed by a neighbour alleging that the athlete was actually a man and had repeatedly raped and tortured her.
Keywords: Pinki Pramanik, gender row

Can a Jew Represent Blacks?
Rep. Cohen's fight to retain Memphis Congressional seat
U.S. Rep. Steven Cohen has about a year until he's up for reelection in his Memphis district, but the heat is already on. Challenger Willie Herenton, an African-American ex-mayor, is making the case that the area's 60 percent black electorate needs a black congressman, as The New York Times reported yesterday. Until 2006, when Cohen won, the seat, created in a redistricting 30-odd years ago, was filled by the state's only black representative—Harold Ford Jr, who succeeded his father. Herenton refused to speak to the Times about his opposition to Cohen, though his campaign manager was happy to talk. "This seat was set aside for people who look like me," said Sidney Chism. "It wasn't set aside for a Jew or a Christian. It was set aside so that blacks could have representation." Cohen admits there's a limit to how much he can understand the black experience, but says he nevertheless votes like a 45-year-old black woman. What he does know? "About being a minority and being discriminated against because of religion."

Beautiful Beautiful Bayside
The location of the rental is ideal- north ocean city has a less crowded beach, the property is walking distance to a 24 hour gas station (wawa) and a 24 hour grocery store (Food Lion). It takes all of five minutes to walk to the beach (just across Coastal Highway).
The actual house is very, very spacious (We had the house full to capacity (10 people) the whole time and everyone was very comfortable.), and immaculate. It was spotless on our arrival, and very well appointed (kitchen appliances, gadgets, pots, pans, etc). There is a downstairs deck which is great for hanging out, a small boat dock from which you can snag a crab with the nets provided, and even an upstairs deck off the main bedroom. AC is new and keeps the place nice and cool despite the heat outside.
We plan to return next year for sure!!!

Latest News
Gone To Texas
May 13 2015 07:27 PM | in Store Item News
This Friday I'm going to catch a plane from Reno to Ft. Worth, rent a car, and drive to the small city of Denton. Why do you ask? Because that's where the archives of Aaron Allston's work are stored. With the help of his mother Rose, I'm going to go through those files, locate all of the material related to his decades long Strike Force campaign (including the now-famous bluebooks), copy them, and send them where they need to go so that a new Strike Force book (or possibly books) can be created.
Before his untimely passing, Aaron and I had been talking about producing a new Strike Force book for Hero Games. But we were both involved with other projects, had a lot to do, and it didn't seem like there was any particular hurry to get the project done. However, now that he's gone, his family and I believe it's important that his part of his legacy be preserved by issuing a new and expanded version of this seminal work of RPG game design. I hope you all will agree and support this project when it goes live on Kickstarter sometime later this year.

Narosia: Sea of Tears Update
Jan 23 2015 12:50 PM | in Store Item News
Just a little update on Narosia from us folks over at Legendsmiths. We have gotten ourselves back on track and have revised timelines for the publication of Narosia: Sea of Tears. Since the start of the project many things have changed in the industry that caused us to question some of our approach and our overall goals with the project.
Last September we completed the content for the game. Since that time we have been fighting to get back on everyone's schedules to complete the publication and it has been a struggle. That is the danger of slipping on your production schedule — it can absolutely snowball, and it did. However, we have smashed that snowball and put everything back together and now we are back on track.
Our current estimate is PDF layout by end of January, back and forth with the printer end of February, and then off to print. Does that mean March for print product? Probably, at the earliest, but we will make the PDF available as soon as the proofs for print are finalized. Backers will have access to the pre-proof PDF as soon as we get it from layout.

A RAM disk or RAM drive is a block of RAM (primary storage or volatile memory) that a computer's software is treating as if the memory were a disk drive (secondary storage).
Because the storage is in RAM, it is volatile memory, which means it will be lost in the event of power loss, whether intentional (computer reboot or shutdown) or accidental (power failure). This is sometimes desirable: for example, when working with a decrypted copy of an encrypted file, or for storing a web cache (doing this on a RAM disk can also improve the speed of loading pages).

Wii Sports features five games (Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, and Boxing) as well as a Training Mode and a Wii Fitness Mode. You can play each game by yourself or with up to four other players (depending on the game). Each game considers you a Pro after you receive 1,000 points (although you can easily lose that Pro status).
Tennis: this is a fun game. It is doubles tennis and this is one of the games where up to four people can play, although I find it fun to play by myself. It follows the rules of regular tennis and you can play either a single game, two out of three, or three out of five. While it is a fun game, it is limited – you control only one player (the back player) and you only control the swing, not the Mii's movement. Still, you do move physically around quite a bit and it is an enjoyable game.
Baseball: this is a one or two player game and is a watered down version of baseball. There are only three innings and you control just the pitching and hitting not the base running or fielding. You can control the pitch you use (you have a choice of screwball, curve ball, a splitter, or fast ball) but I've found that just moving the WiiMote slightly can result in a pitch, which can be frustrating. The batting option is the more fun option but even that is limited as you can't bunt and the ball call doesn't happen very often.
Bowling: My favorite game in the collection. It is just like regular ten pin bowling, with ten frames, strikes and spares. You can play by yourself or with up to four players. This is one of the more controllable games as you can position your Mii on the alley before throwing the ball and twist your wrist to control the curve of the ball.
Golf: Not a particularly easy game but it is like a regular golf game including how you hold the WiiMote. You get to pick what kind of clubs you use (although it is best to go with the ones Wii Sports selects). Wind is a factor as well as the terrain of the course. Up to four people can play and you have several game options: Beginner (3 holes); Intermediate (3 holes); and Expert (3 holes). You can also play a 9 hole game. You get as many practice swings as you want before hitting the ball.
Boxing: Easily my least favorite game. You need the nunchuk to play and you box three one minute rounds (this is a one or two player game). There is a life gauge that decreases when you get hit and when the gauge is gone you are knocked out. I found this game incredibly difficult to play and control.
Training Mode: This is a great feature that helps you practice certain elements in each game. In tennis you practice returning balls (if one is hit outside the court the game ends); timing your swings (try to hit the orange wall on each return); and target practice. In baseball you try to hit home runs (you have ten chances); practice swing control (try to hit the ball so it lands in the target zones - left field, center field, right field); batting practice (you simply try and hit the ball). For the bowling games you try to pick up spares; power throws (my favorite – you start with trying to knock down ten pins, then 15, 21, etc. If you get a strike you get double points); spin control – each game has certain barriers you try to avoid while throwing the ball. In golf the choices are putting (you have up to ten holes and try to put the ball in each hole with a single shot – you have five lives to get through all ten holes); hitting the green (you try to land the ball as close to the hole as possible); target practice – each target has points and you try to get as many points as possible. In boxing you work the bag (you try knocking punching bags from their chain); dodging (swaying side to side you try to dodge tennis balls thrown at you); and throwing punches (you try to hit training mitts). Up to four players can do the training mode (each going one at a time) and you "win" medals for each game – platinum, gold, silver, bronze.
Wii Fitness: this is supposed to gauge your "fitness age". You get three events from the training mode (if they are unlocked) and your fitness age is determined by how well you do at these challenges which are meant to judge your balance, speed, and stamina. This is fun to do, but not a true gauge of how fit you are.
In the end, Wii Sports has enough games and features to satisfy just about anyone and provides hours of fun.

Wii Sports is a sports game developed and produced by Nintendo as a launch title for the Wii video game console. It was first released in North America along with the Wii on November 19, 2006, and was released in Japan, Australia, and Europe the following month. The game is included as a pack-in game with the Wii console in all territories except Japan, making it the first game included with the launch of a Nintendo system since Mario's Tennis for the Virtual Boy in 1995. Wii Sports is part of an ongoing series of games referred to as the Wii Series, and a Touch! Generations game.
The game is a collection of five sports simulations, designed to demonstrate the motion-sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote to new players. The five sports included are tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. Players use the Wii Remote to mimic actions performed in real life sports, such as swinging a tennis racket.[3] The rules for each game are simplified to make them more accessible to new players. The game also features training and fitness modes that monitor player progress in the sports.
Overall, Wii Sports has been well received by critics and received awards from the gaming press and entertainment community. It is the best-selling video game of all time, with 40.5 million copies sold worldwide, as of December 2008. Wii Sports has been featured on television in Wii commercials, news reports, and other programming. The game has become a popular means for social gatherings and ...

Trick Trick ft. Royce Da 5'9" - All Around The World
Artist: Trick Trick
Featuring: Royce Da 5'9"
Producer: Trick Trick
Album: The Villain
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 9 votes )
With hip-hop in a state of emergency, many fear that the game has become stale and stagnant. Having become known as the man to fear in Detroit, it seems fitting that rapper Trick Trick has put together some pretty stern words on his brand new cut, All Around The World. Self-produced by the 'bad guy,' this bass-heavy joint features fellow Motown native Royce Da 5'9", who doesn't mind chin-checking fools too caught up in the trappings of all that glitters. Both artists bully the track entertainingly, further proving that Detroit artists can, in fact, come together to bring their embattled city back to the forefront. On Wednesday, DJBooth will feature an exclusive interview with Trick Trick, who will give his thoughts on The Villain and the drama-laden aftermath of the alleged Yung Berg chain-snatching incident.

Property Details
With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this property will accommodate 10 guests
The Oasis is a spacious, Craftsman-style house situated in the heart of the lively Capitol Hill neighborhood! This property offers 2300 square feet of living space that spans two floors with accommodations for 10 people.
Capitol Hill is Seattle's second most densely populated neighborhood, one of its most diverse and boasts a lively sidewalk culture (you won't walk very far without encountering one of our many coffee houses) and energetic nightlife (from fringe theater to live music)! You'll find no shortage of bars and restaurants to serve cravings of any nature within walking distance of the Oasis.
The arrangement and interior design of the Oasis is heavily influenced by the principles of Feng Shui and this application lends to the already inviting air created by the architectural elements of this property.
Upon entry into the functional foyer (set down your luggage, hang your jacket and slip out of your shoes!), you'll be delighted by the easy flow of space that connects the dining and family rooms with the gourmet kitchen.
In the dining room, the custom-built, low-set table is situated in front of a picture window and is surrounded by an array of cushy chairs. Ten to twelve people can dine comfortably here and the feast that you create in the gourmet kitchen can be elegantly offered atop this table. If you visit Seattle during the chillier months, the wood-burning fireplace will provide warmth while you graze your plates.

This is afterall an Oasis in Seattle
Oasis in Seattle
From the Owner
"I've enjoyed living in my Capitol Hill Oasis since 2004 and wish to share its comfortable environment and desirable location with those planning to visit Seattle for business or pleasure. Capitol Hill is Seattle's second most densely populated neighborhood, one of its most diverse and boasts a lively sidewalk culture (one mustn't walk very far without encountering one of our many coffee houses) and energetic nightlife (from fringe theater to live music)! And there's no shortage of bars and restaurants to serve cravings of any nature within walking distance of the Oasis."
Activity and Interests
Draping over a hilly ridge just east of downtown, Capitol Hill is an eclectic enclave. Three colleges lie within blocks of each other (Seattle Central Community College, the Cornish College of the Arts, and Seattle University), providing plenty of customers for the area's museums, coffeehouses, and cool eclectic boutique shops.
The Seattle International Film Festival is based here, as is the city's annual Gay Pride Parade. In autumn, the Seattle Fringe Festival celebrates original plays coming out of the neighborhood's many small but notable theaters, including the Richard Hugo House and the Northwest Actors Studio. Galleries and cafés open their doors on the first Saturday of each month for Arts Orbit, Capitol Hill's art walk.
It's also home to the Frye Art Museum, where American and European paintings can be viewed for free, and the elegant Seattle Asian Art Museum, with its renowned collection of workshoused in a 1933 art modern structure in Volunteer Park.

It was the hip-hop dance by Father Richard Martini that brought the crowd to its feet at the first-ever Dancing With Our Priests event Friday night at the Valencia Hyatt Regency hotel.
The stars were out Friday night as three priests took to the dance floor to raise funds for Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Newhall.
Martini, pastor of OLPH, along with Associate Pastor Ray Marquez and Father Norm Supancheck from Bishop Alemany High School, wowed the crowd of 350 people as they partnered with professionals to dance to the Waltz, the East Coast Swing and a surprise performance in an effort to win the OLPH Mirrorball trophy.
Votes were sold for $10 with funds going to the "On The Way" capital campaign. Emcee Ed Masterson praised the priests for the willingness to try something new and their sense of fun. His assistant, Reena Newhall, a professional dancer herself, provided the dance ensembles for the evening.
Marquez and his partner, Kathy Rackness, were the first couple out the gate to dance. For his final number, Marquez donned a matador outfit to dance the paso doble and made an impressive showing with the judges and the crowd. Next, Supancheck, always a parish favorite, and his partner Tony Giammalva took on a 50s theme to dance the Merengue.
But it was Martini and partner Ingrid Blanco who stole the show with their hip-hop number. Dressed head to toe in sparkles and gold, Martini finished the set with a spin on the floor.
Once the votes were tallied, Martini managed to squeak by his competitors and win the Mirrorball trophy. He thanked to all who attended the event and gave special thanks to Margaret Shapiro for chairing the fundraiser.
Shapiro said she wasn't sure of the final numbers on funds raised, but considered the event to be a success.
"We were successful in building community at the parish," she said. "I think we would do it or something like this again."
As the crowd shouted for this to be an annual fundraiser, all three priests agreed they had a great time and left the door open for next year.
