It is almost a truism that marketing has become highly technology-intensive. A nearly ubiquitous component of any marketing technology portfolio is email marketing. In fact, there is a high probability your company is already using some form of it, even though you might not be aware of it. A related component is marketing automation. Customers often talk of these in the same breath. In this article, we will look at this distinction in some detail and also summarize what marketers should know when evaluating these technologies.

In Part 1, I started discussing some of the most common reasons why content management system (CMS) projects fail. We covered change management, buying the wrong CMS, and lack of implementation resources. Onward!
Budgeting--One of the most common mistakes during CMS implementations is overlooking the cost. Once you realize you don't have enough money allocated for the implementation, scrambling to find partners and system integrators to do the work for cheap is less than desirable. Outsourcing to partners that lack expertise in the given system may backfire. The labor is cheaper, yes. The food served during site visits is more exotic, but you also need to get a sense of their experience level.
It might be a worthwhile investment to engage a few implementers to do the initial analysis of your requirements in the discovery phase. You get a more realistic quote, and the implementers get a chance to properly evaluate the effort they'll need to put in.No matter which way you go when looking for implementation partners, evaluate what kind of experience they have, especially with the particular CMS you have chosen. Check references.
As a general rule, you should plan to spend three to five times the cost of software on the actual implementation.
Involve the End Users--Selecting and implementing a CMS is not a task accomplished solely in the upper echelons of your organization. End users should be involved in the early stages of your CMS selection project. At the very least, loop them in during the proof of concept or the very early stages of the implementation. Without the end users you may end up designing a system with poor usability, while not covering all the needed use cases.
CMS implementations usually involve heavy participation from business owners, marketers, analysts, social media folks, and content contributors. They help define requirements and test functionality, and they learn from developers and consultants how to use the system.
As your end users get familiar with the system, their input will be hugely beneficial in creating customized training materials and how-to user manuals. When end users are not involved, there's a good chance they will hate the CMS when you hand it off to them at the end.
Executive Buy-In--Executive buy-in and your leadership actively standing behind this undertaking should shine through, not just on paper but continuously throughout the CMS implementation and its daily usage. Executive buy-in and support is a great vehicle in driving your CMS project.
Also, there will come a point when you will need additional budget to upgrade, enhance, improve, customize, integrate, hire-you name it. If your leadership cabinet has been on board all along, it will be easier to convince them of the ROIs, TCOs, P&Ls, SWOTs, and other fancy acronyms they hold dear.
Internal Ownership--You want to give your core project team a sense of ownership by not only giving them a chance to be involved and contribute their 2 cents, but also by toasting to successes and rewarding them for a job well done. Involve larger parts of your organization as you go through the implementation process and (iteratively and in agile fashion) continue progressing to the next phases. Engage larger groups through a celebration of shared success to promote user adoption. Keep internal owners accountable for mistakes and areas for improvements.
Advocacy and Education--Nothing hinders the success of a CMS implementation as much as slow user adoption. Part of the solution to the problem lies in involving the end users, but another is investing in education. If people understand the CMS and how it works, they may eventually get excited about business benefits or a cool feature or two. Good vibes are important in the uneasy process of getting used to a totally new piece of software.
Education and advocacy are especially important when there are several camps that are not necessarily on the same page. To educate, host a "lunch and learn" and show off the latest functionality being developed in the current phase. Use industry conferences as an incentive for employees to learn more about your particular CMS with the idea of sharing that info companywide in follow-up presentations.

Public marijuana, open pot container laws could come to Issaquah
June 17, 2014
Sure, marijuana is legal now, but not for everyone at all times.
The Issaquah City Council Services & Safety Committee took steps in giving the Issaquah Police Department tools to enforce restrictions to recreational marijuana use June 2. The drug still remains illegal in many circumstances.
"We'd be adopting the state law that says it's illegal to consume marijuana in view of the general public," City Associate Planner Jason Rogers said about possible council action.
The same state law regulates the age of consumption to 21 and older, as well as criminalizes driving under the influence of marijuana.
Move left for stopped emergency vehicles
May 20, 2014
The Washington State Patrol is reminding drivers that state law requires them to slow down, and move left if safe, when passing emergency vehicles stopped beside the roadway.
Emergency vehicles include police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks and highway maintenance vehicles with emergency lights activated.
The law went into effect in 2011, after a series of incidents involving not only police cars, but other emergency vehicles, and the death of a tow truck driver.
Trooper tales
April 8, 2014
Book details a life in the Washington State Patrol
If Jack Webb was ever to jump off the silver screen of "Dragnet" and plop down in front of an old Selectric typewriter to chronicle his adventures into a memoir, it might look and sound a lot like what's in the pages of John Young's "Super Trooper."
After nearly 30 years within the ranks of the Washington State Patrol, the 74-year-old Olympia native, now living in the Issaquah Highlands, found himself sharing tales of his exploits from the earlier years on the force at family or friendly gatherings. Such as this anecdote:
"The only other time I was truly scared, I thought I had stopped Patty Hearst and her crew," he said in a recent interview, recalling the newspaper heiress who was kidnapped and eventually joined her captors in a bank heist.

State Patrol hosts law enforcement camp
March 11, 2014
High-school juniors and seniors with an interest in law enforcement will have an opportunity to spend a week this summer learning about roles and job opportunities within the profession.
Applications are being accepted for the 37th annual Washington State – Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp, held July 20-26 at the Washington State Patrol Academy in Shelton.
Wrong-way, head-on collision injures two
February 25, 2014
Two men were injured in an early morning head-on collision on Interstate 90 Feb. 23.
The Washington State Patrol said a 2002 Volkswagen Passat was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of the highway, when a 2006 Lincoln Town Car struck it head on.
I-5 Challenge nets zero holiday traffic fatalities
December 10, 2013
Motorists in Washington met the Thanksgiving Weekend I-5 Challenge to "arrive alive" with no traffic fatalities on Interstate 5 during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Not only did the Washington State Patrol have extra troopers out on I-5, there were extra troopers out statewide. Preliminary data shows the trooper's efforts statewide were:
- 268 drivers arrested for DUI
- 8,082 drivers stopped for speeding
- 478 drivers stopped for seat belt violations
The Oregon State Patrol also reported zero fatalities on I-5 and California Highway Patrol reported just one fatality during the challenge.
State law enforcement officers from San Diego, Calif., through Oregon, and up to Bellingham, used a mix of education outreach and enforcement to get voluntary compliance of traffic laws. The Thanksgiving Holiday (6 p.m. Nov. 27 through 11:59 p.m. Dec. 1) is one of the busiest travel times of the year on the nation's highways.
Issaquah woman involved in police chase, fiery crash
November 19, 2013
A 36-year-old Issaquah resident, Kristine L. Espindola, rode shotgun in a high-speed police chase that ended in a fiery crash Nov. 8.
A 47-year-old Bellevue man allegedly led troopers on a chase on Interstate 90 before wrecking his 2013 Porsche Panamera into a building on Mercer Island.
Reports from the Washington State Patrol say Peter E. Kern fled from troopers while speeding in the eastbound express lanes of I-90 at about 11:30 p.m.
Nearly 1,300 drivers ticketed for distracted driving
September 9, 2013
NEW — 6 a.m. Sept. 9, 2013
In the past six weeks, law enforcement agencies throughout King County have participated in emphasis patrols to reduce the number of people driving while distracted.
The patrols targeted drivers using cellular phones, texting or involved in other behavior that affected their ability to drive in a safe manner.
More than 1,100 citations were issued to drivers for the use of cellphones and 180 drivers were ticketed for texting while driving. Law enforcement made more than 2,300 contacts with drivers, which included driving while suspended and DUI. Officers also made arrests of subjects with felony warrants, and recovered two stolen vehicles.

My first time staying at this hotel and spa in Sonoma. Gorgeous property and very peaceful. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite (we splurged!) and it was amazing. Large/spacious, clean, bed was super comfortable, and the jacuzzi/jet tub was awesome! Room service was top notch and the food was excellent (you know how sometimes room service food is not the right temperature by the time it gets to you, etc. -- this place had none of those problems). Paying upwards of $650/night for the one-bedroom suite, the reasons it's not a 5 - (1) Very disappointing spa experience for my friend who got a gentleman's signature pedicure (or whatever the highest level service one is) that was supposed to last 60 minutes. Not only did it last maybe only 45 minutes, but of those 45 minutes, the woman put the parafin wax on his feet and then proceeded to walk away for a good 15 minutes - just leaving him sitting there - totally unacceptable and totally not in accordance with high-end spas for which you are paying that much for the service - no attention to detail (wax was left on his feet), no attention to good customer service, etc... having had a lot of pedicures in my lifetime, I was shocked at the poor level of service. We reported it privately to the manager and were very nice about it and told the manager that perhaps the woman was having a bad day. The spa did comp the service for him, but the point was that the beginning of what was supposed to be a relaxing spa day, just sort of ruined the whole day for him because he felt bad about having to raise the concern even knowing that he needed to, and then stressed out about whether he'd have to run into her at all that day. Very disappointing service from that specialist (Maria). Want good spa/salon service at the Willow Stream spa? Looking for a good person to do your manicure or pedicure? Ask for Rudolpho - he was AWESOME; (2) the morning we were checking out, I could not for the life of me get the front desk to answer the phone - first guy picked up at around 8am and asked me if he could put me on hold, I said ok - after about 15 minutes on hold (I think he forgot about me), I hung up and called back -- finally at about 845am I called whatever extension I could get a live person (I think the operator), and they helped me with the matter I had a question on (again, not expected level of service for a resort/spa of that caliber); and (3) Supposedly cheaper and "lower level" hotels I have stayed in, provide expedited check out/customer service by slipping a copy of the final bill under the door (which could have been done/there was space) - when I called to ask for one, I was told I'd have to go to the front desk to get it (I found that kind of odd - because then that's not really express check out is it?).
Finally - and this may be just paranoia, but I am suspicious that we had such great customer service from all areas when we first arrived, and it was only after we raised a concern/complaint about Maria in the spa, that suddenly it seemed that the level of service went drastically downward. It was also after our wine tasting day - where we were given some great suggestions by the concierge and also some coupons/discounts for tastings, etc... we bought wine at the one place we really enjoyed the wines at and even took the $25/person tour that was suggested - but the other 3 wineries we visited and tasted at, had no wines that we loved enough to buy ... I have a feeling that there is some deal or connection with the concierge folks and the wineries that they will let them know if someone redeems the coupon and/or if they buy wine ... Part of me wonders if the reason for the rapid decline in service on that second full day, was about the lack of purchase at some of those wineries.
In anycase, great place but don't complain, and if you get coupons for the wineries, buy wine - otherwise expect your service to head downward rapidly.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger , who'll miss part of the National Football League regular season on a suspension for personal misconduct, directed a drive that ended in a field goal in his first preseason game.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a sprained throwing shoulder in last night's win against Kansas City and will undergo further tests today to determine the extent of the injury.
One of the silliest traditions in sports took place yesterday at Cowboys Stadium. It was the usual media mosh pit at the site of the Super Bowl, where thousands of journalists from around the world scurried from player to player and coach to coach, hoping to glean something of significance.
Ben Roethlisberger will practice next week with the Pittsburgh Steelers after getting permission from National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell .
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell will meet Sept. 3 to discuss a possible reduction of his suspension for personal misconduct.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger won't start tomorrow when his Pittsburgh Steelers host the St. Louis Rams.

Taylor Bays and the Laser Rays have been paying their dues with their eclectic signature brand of rock and roll since mid-2009. Already having gone through some line-up changes, the Laser Rays play songs that could easily have a multitude of arrangements and instrumentation. Frontman Taylor Bays, taking as much influence from cartoons and old-school video games as he does from other musicians, describes the band's sound as "weirdo rock". It's apparent, once you meet the guys in the band, that, far from upholding a rock star credo, the Laser Rays really are just a collection of amiable nerds. One of the band's standout qualities is the silent tributes that they give to their influences, which range from 70's classic and punk rock to 90's alternative rock. A true-blue collection of guys that are as hyped about the bands that influence them as they are their own. Known for their energetic live shows and occasional oddball covers, Taylor Bays and the Laser Rays have become a whole 'nother thang. Go see them live and you'll see for yourself.

It's hard to dismiss the pedigree of Lost Odyssey, the latest role-playing game from Mistwalker Studios. Famed Final Fantasy producer Hironobu Sakaguchi is heading the project, and the game's musical score is being provided by another FF alum, the much-loved composer Nobuo Uematsu. Little wonder, then, that despite being powered by the Xbox 360, the nuts and bolts of Lost Odyssey feel very familiar. Having last seen the game at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show, we recently spent some time with an updated build, specifically to see how the first couple of hours of gameplay set the stage for the adventure to come.
Lost Odyssey begins with a bang, quite literally. After showing an opening cinematic that centers on an epic battle of two warring armies, the camera cuts to a long-haired hero who's doing his best to single-handedly wipe out the opposing forces. In a smooth gameplay cut, you're taken from merely watching the as-yet-unnamed hero to playing as him as he takes out a handful of enemies and then sets his sights on a massive fire-spewing war machine. It's a slick introduction to the turn-based battle system in Lost Odyssey, but as we found out, it's an all-too-short introduction. After the tank enemy is taken down, the sky above literally rips open as a massive meteorite slams onto the battlefield, annihilating everyone in its path.
Well, almost everyone. For reasons explained later, your battle-hardened hero, whose name is Kaim Argonar, survived the meteor strike. As he makes his way across the blasted, desolate landscape, Kaim encounters enemies who've been "changed" by the meteor strike. Combat here serves as an introduction to Lost Odyssey's ring combat system, which lets you arm Kaim and his allies with rings that add powers to their attack or defense. The system also adds a bit more interactivity to combat: During a physical attack, a ring will appear around your opponent, and you need to hold down the right trigger while your character attacks. A second ring will collapse on the first, and when the time is right (that is, the second ring is close to the first), you let go of the trigger. Your timing will determine the relative strength or weakness of your attack. As you progress, you'll be able to build new rings, provided you have the required ingredients, which you'll pick up as you go. New rings mean new powers, such as the ability to add elemental damage to your attacks.
Eventually Kaim manages to find a band of allies from the Uhar army who marvel at his ability to survive a point-blank encounter with a falling meteorite. In true emo fashion, Kaim isn't impressed by much, even his own seeming invulnerability. Kaim and the soldiers hitch a ride on an armored cart, then head back to the Uhar city to regroup. While in transit, Kaim encounters a mysterious girl named Seth who also managed to survive the attack.
Once arriving in the city, Kaim is summoned by the high council to report his findings from the battlefield. This begins a long stretch of gameplay where you find yourself in a city with not much to do but run around and explore. On the positive side, there are plenty of items to find hidden in pots and barrels, even stuck behind what look to be propaganda posters stuck on walls all over town. Before heading to the council, you can take Kaim to the local establishments, including an item shop, whose owner is out on business, and a local inn, where you can catch some sleep.
The first question the council has for Kaim is an obvious one: How did he manage to survive the meteor crash? Kaim doesn't seem to have many answers but another character, Gorgora, does. Apparently Gorgora cast an immortality spell on Kaim, though Kaim doesn't seem to remember this spell. The council immediately recognizes the advantage of having an immortal operative; thus, Kaim and Seth are sent on a mission to check out the disturbance at Grand Staff, which is a magic research facility located in the Sea of Baus not far from the city.
It seems that Gorgora is more than he appears in Lost Odyssey because shortly after Kaim is assigned on the Grand Staff mission, he is placed under house arrest. When Kaim visits him at his house, Gorgora assigns a magic user named Jansen to accompany Kaim and Seth on their mission. Jansen, unlike the other two, is a mortal. In Lost Odyssey, mortal characters can learn new skills simply by leveling up; immortals, on the other hand, don't learn new skills when their levels increase. However, by linking their skills with a mortal, immortals can learn new skills. For example, linking Kaim to Jansen will allow him to learn both white and black magic spells or the steal ability, which Jansen already possesses. After a few battles, Jansen will learn level-two black magic, whereas Kaim will earn level-one black magic.
As the trio heads off toward Grand Staff, the roles each plays in the story become clear. Kaim is the dour hero, a stringy-haired badass who is all about the mission; Seth is the good-natured, wide-eyed flirt; and Jansen is the comic relief. How they fit into battle, however, will be up to you; thanks not only to the aforementioned skill system, which will let you customize your characters' skills, but also the formation system. Final Fantasy games have distinguished between characters on the "front" and "back" line, but in Lost Odyssey, that distinction is made all the more explicit. Meters on the upper left- and right-hand side of the screen point out a party's front line strength, which is calculated as a total of the hit points of characters set on the front row. Front-row characters act as a buffer for those in the rear of the formation, so it's a good idea to put your weaker characters in the back. However, once the front line is destroyed, those characters in the back won't have any further protection.
The road to Grand Staff begins in the forest outside of town, where the party will randomly encounter enemies who are really no match for the power of the party. If the main characters in Lost Odyssey are reminiscent of Final Fantasy characters--with frilly outfits, outrageous weapons, and intricate armor--then the enemies are doubly so, ranging from vicious-looking plant life to miniature spear-wielding soldiers wearing helmets that give them a distinctive mushroom-like appearance. As the party trudges up a mountain range in search of Grand Staff, it will encounter biting rain showers and, at the peak, a huge griffon-like creature that provides the first real test of the party's combat skills.
With elaborate visuals (and lots and lots of depth-of-field visual tricks), Lost Odyssey certainly looks like an Xbox 360 RPG, even if it plays like something a bit older. Nonetheless, the tried-and-true approach of Sakaguchi has proven to be a winning formula. One thing's for sure, you won't be at a loss for things to do in Lost Odyssey: The game will come on four discs when it lands on store shelves next month. That's means a ton of content for Kaim and his crew to battle their way through. Stay tuned for more on the game in the coming weeks.

Candidate Interview ReviewSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Riney (San Francisco, CA).
The recruiter first contacted me via email. We then had a short phone interview. After that I interviewed on-site with four employees, one after another.
Everyone was friendly and casual. The process was very pleasant. They seemed to focus mainly on selling the agency to me, explaining that the agency is in transition and they are expecting better things to come.
Unfortunately, I think in the process of them selling the agency to me, I didn't get a full picture of work life here -- the good and the bad. My questions regarding the challenges and negatives of the position didn't uncover anything at all. That made it harder to figure out what they were looking for and if we were a good match. I later found out on the job that there were unique and substantial challenges.
Interview Questions
- Why are you in this career? Answer Question
There didn't seem to be much wiggle room, but there was a little. This agency is part of a large parent company (Publicis) so I suspect they just follow the parent company's expectations and structure on this.

Fox Sports successfully implemented EVS' sport graphics system Epsio, fully integrated in the original LSM replay controller, for live inserts of a virtual offside line during the soccer match between Australia and Indonesia at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, March 3.
Epsio is a new sport analysis tool that adds virtual offside lines and other analysis effects on live PGM. The system is designed to be operated using the existing EVS XT[2] LSM remote controllers for live replays and slow-motion sequences in most OB and live production facilities.
The EVS setup in the OB truck included four HD XT[2] servers, connected on the XNet[2] network and controlled by LSM remote systems for slow-motion replay actions and highlight edits. The Epsio graphic system was added to one of the servers and managed using one of the existing LSM controllers, allowing the operator to manually create the virtual graphics in just a few seconds.

Down to earth and Optimistic
A bit of a bookworm, combined with a sense of optimism. Blend with laughter and fun times with friends and family. Add old-fashioned respect responsibility, honesty, dependability and self-confidence. Mix it all together... that is the recipe for my perfect match. I am quiet but enjoy sharing my thoughts and feelings. I believe that in life the positives will always outweigh the negatives and that you should surround yourself with people who treat you the way you want to be treated. I have admiration for the arts and sciences. I would love to travel to other places, but I also find comfort in a cup of tea and a good book. At this point in my life I am looking for someone who wants a serious relationship. Someone who knows how to have a good time but can also be serious when the occasion calls for it. I am told that I'm genuine and loyal. I always try and look at the bright side and try to make others see it too. I'm honest but I am considerate of other peoples feeling and need for personal space/"me" time. I have accomplished many things off my personal list: found a job I enjoy, got a tattoo, travelled to Europe, bought my own house. I still have plenty more items I want to cross off and am looking for someone to join me in the adventure.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports

The St. Louis Blues are going with the hot hand in goal to start the playoffs, choosing rookie Jake Allen over veteran Brian Elliott. The 24-year-old Allen was 5-1-1 with 1.32 goals against average and .950 save percentage in his last eight games.

yummy, what a nice date bread! i brewed fresh ground 8 o'clock columbian coffee, substituted 1 cup all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour & used pecans in place of walnuts (what i had on hand)...
This is a DELICIOUS recipe. I really enjoyed the coffee flavor in the background! I substituted pecans (just don't care for walnuts) and next time I would add just about 1/4-1/2 cup extra flour,...
Good tasting recipe. I used half flour and half whole-wheat flour in my test. My kids made this in small loaves for teachers gifts at Christmas.

Boy Meets World
Rider Strong Gets Engaged, Continues Streak Of Great Boy Meets World News
It's that time of year again, when all sorts of engagement and wedding news starts coming in as celebrities escape to warm, romantic getaways. The latest is the engagement of Boy Meets World alum Rider Strong to his longtime girlfriend Alexandra Barreto. According to E! Online, Rider proposed with a ring he created himself.
Strong and Barreto met on the short-lived 2006 WB comedy Pepper Dennis, in which he played a cameraman and she played the weather girl and nemesis of star Rebecca Romijn. They also had a super-cute bit together in this 2008 Web ad for Barack Obama.
We've all been waiting for a different kind of news from Rider — that he'd be joining the cast of Girl Meets World, the Disney Channel spinoff of the beloved '90s show — but as of November, he said he had no "official" involvement in it. Hey, Alexandra, is there anything you can do to convince him otherwise?

Rider Strong's Boy Meets World Letter Actually Gives Us More Hope For The Spinoff
While some Boy Meets World fans might see Rider Strong's blog entry about Girl Meets World, the highly anticipated Disney spinoff, as a declaration that he won't be in the show, we're seeing things a little differently around here. This is the paragraph everyone's quoting this morning:
"At this point, I have no official involvement in Girl Meets World. There might be a chance to see some of the BMW cast in a guest spot, and I think it would be nice to find out where our characters have been all these years. But Girl Meets World will be, and I think it should be, it's own show. It will be about Cory and Topanga, their daughter, and a new set of characters."
But, guys, he says "At this point"! If you know anything about Hollywood, and spinoffs especially, it's that nothing is set in stone EVER. And when the creators of this new show see the heartfelt letter Rider wrote about meeting people all over the world speaking the "universal language of Boy Meets World," they'd have to be made of stone not to want to give him at least a recurring part in this show. Of course it's going to be about Cory and Topanga's daughter, but she'll have other grownups in her life — maybe Shawn has become a teacher (that's what all fictional bad boys grow up to do, isn't it?). Or he lives next door to his BFFs. Or after a series of unfortunate failures, he's living in their basement while he gets back on his feet. Really, the possibilities are endless.

Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel Officially Join Boy Meets World Spin-Off: This Is Happening, People
We're not saying your individual support for the Boy Meets World spin-off Girl Meets World will guarantee the show will make it to air. However, if every single person between the ages of 30 and 18 retweeted this post, well, we're sure Mr. Disney would take notice. Oh, Walt Disney's dead? We see. Well, in his loving memory we can't stop squealing over the news that Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel have officially signed on to play Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence ('cause you know girl is keeping her last name) in the upcoming show pilot.
According to TVLine, Girl takes place "more than a decade" after the initial show and centers on Cory and Topanga raising their daughter, eighth grader Riley. Apparently the show is in "the very early stages of development," and a national search is on for the perfect tween actress to play Riley. Ugh, why didn't we have a kid at 15 just in case this happened? Think, Vh1 Celebrity, think! No word yet on whether William Daniels will return as Mr. Feeny, but maybe if everyone in the world writes him a letter and they have to carry sacks and sacks of mail into his living room like in A Miracle on 34th Street? Alternately…hey, they made Tupac a hologram. They can probably render a mustache and tweed jacket pretty well too.

Disney In Talks For Boy Meets World Spinoff, Check The Cast Then And Now To Prepare Yourself
What if this is the true sign of the Apocalypse? It seems more likely the Mayans were predicting a chronologically-accurate Boy Meets World reboot than the actual end of the world, right? As the ancient legends foretold, Disney is allegedly "in talks" for a spinoff of Boy Meets World that…wait for it…might feature Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel as grown-up Cory and Topanga raising a middle-school-aged daughter of their own. Can't…scream…hyperventilating.
It goes without saying the public will demand William Daniels' Mr. Feeny return as Baby Girl Matthews mentor (Mr. Feeny was an immortal, right?), but we're demanding that they bring back all the major cast members to the spinoff. We're talking Will Friedle, we're talking Ryder Strong. To get everyone ready for that inevitability, check out what the Boy Meets World crew has been up to since the show took its bow in 2000…

Nietzsche and "The Birth of Tragedy"Nietzsche's philosophy - at once revolutionary, erudite and deep - reaches into all spheres of the arts. Well into a second century of influence, the profundity of his ideas and the complexity of his writings still determine Nietzsche's power to engage his readers. His first book, "The Birth of Tragedy", presents us with a lively inquiry into the existential meaning of Greek tragedy. We are
