Played out in the same back garden over a twelve-year period, this painfully funny play explores the unrelenting themes of ageing, jealousy and unrequited love. Richard and Anthea are the ideal couple. Charming, generous and successful, they can't help but attract loyal and loving friends. Can they? Is it possible that being friends with such a golden couple can have its downfalls? Could you actually come to loathe such lovable people, especially when they are so… well… 'nice'? Richard, Anthea and their friends repeatedly gather to relax and compete, both on and off the tennis court, as their private agonies emerge to devastating effect.

A money-spinning fairground freak? Or just an ordinary boy, though a little ratty in his habits? Full of music, fantastic physical performances and unforgettable images I Was A Rat! will surprise, delight and move audiences of all ages.

Founded in 1973 under the direction of Sue Birtwhistle, Roundabout's remit was to create theatre-in-education productions for schools in Nottinghamshire. In the last 40 years we've expanded our reach and now perform our work regionally, nationally and internationally – but the majority of our performances still take place in local schools. We celebrate our anniversary with a production that reflects our aim throughout four decades: to create a programme of world-class work that is relevant, accessible and inclusive for all children and young people. White Peacock by Gill Brigg We are delighted to announce that, to celebrate Roundabout's 40th birthday, we are planning a new tour of White Peacock, our vibrant play for young people aged 11+ with profound and multiple learning disabilities and autism. White Peacock, written and directed by Gill Brigg, offers a unique experience rich in action, colour, sound, touch and emotion. It is performed inside a specially-constructed micro theatre for just six young people and their companions and features live music, singing, digital projection and Makaton signing. There will be a national tour in late spring 2013, after which the play returns to Nottingham for residencies in schools and family performances at the Playhouse. teachers go free One teacher goes free with every ten tickets purchased.

Company Snapshot
With Clip, you'll never have to tell a customer you don't take their credit card again! Clip allows Mexican businesses to replace outdated POS systems with a sleek and easy-to-use piece of hardware that accepts any credit and debit card. The device seamlessly connects with an operator's smart phone or tablet by fitting into the headphone jack of an iOS or Android device. The operator opens the free Clip app, enters the amount to be charged, and Clip charges a 3.6% transaction fee or 4.6% on installation payments. The reader is the first version in Mexico that includes a patented fraud protection program and chip reader, which is critical to the Mexican market, and Clip is only one of two companies in the world to have its own proprietary design for the reader (the other is Square).

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Exceptionally lemony (snicket) with subtle suggestions of melon, Asian pear, pea flower and mint in the nose. On the palate, salty citrus rind (!) and perhaps overtones of cherry. Picpoul is said to possess a certain degree of savory/saltiness, stimulating the palate in its quest for satiation/bliss.
Production Notes
300 cases
Food Pairing Notes
Oysters on the half-shell, indeed any and all shellfish, corn pancakes, grilled fish or codfish brandade. Our staff has discovered that a pairing of lemony, briny Spanish boquerones is truly rockin'.

Love this wine. Picpoul is a great easy drinking grape and BD's version is sublime. Had to grab some when we saw it on sale. It's great on a hot summer's day and goes with almost any meal.

When this wine was first delivered and opened, I wasn't sure whether or not it was for moi, although I loved the descriptive label. After the first glass, I was shaking my head and realizing how much wine develops on the palate. Enjoy a glass for sipping, and then the rest with a nice piece of salmon or trout. The Dewn team hit a home run with this beauty!

US Women's Open champion Na Yeon Choi won the Titleholders on Sunday to make a great season even better. Choi finally pulled away from So Yeon Ryu with a wedge that had to hit a tiny spot on a green she couldn't see. It settled about 3 feet away for birdie, and a par on the last hole gave her a 2-under 70 and a two-shot win. The 25-year-old from South Korea won for the second time this year, and the $500,000 first-place check pushed her season earnings to a career-best $1.9 million. Ryu (70) was tied for the lead until a three-putt bogey on the 14th hole, and she never caught up. Inbee Park locked up the money title and the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average.

Income tax time, with its headaches, is with us again
For procrastinators, the fact that the deadline for filing their income tax return is Monday instead of today just means two more days to put off the reckoning.
What a far cry from the federal income tax first rolled out in 1913. Because Congress set a personal exemption of $3,000 (in 1913 dollars), most Americans were exempt.
Those who paid faced, at most, a page or two of forms. Now, according to the Cato Institute, the number of federal tax rules has increased 42 percent just since 2000. The number of Internal Revenue Service forms stands at 582; there were 475 in 2000.
This morass of paperwork cries out for simplifying. The more complex the tax structure, the more openings for those who know how to game the system. That's why President Ronald Reagan, a Republican, and Dan Rostenkowski, an Illinois Democrat, forged out a landmark tax reform package in 1986. Tax laws were simplified. Tax shelters were eliminated. The tax base was widened to include those who hadn't been carrying their fair share. Top tax rates were reduced.
However, almost as soon as the law passed, new exemptions, credits and tax breaks began to be added back on. We know the tax code is too complex, but each special interest must have its own breaks. Now, not only ordinary citizens make filing mistakes, but so do the professionals and even the IRS.
For the next couple of days, then, millions of Americans will be, in a sense, as one. Until midnight Monday, they - we - will be united in confusion with this paper jungle of a tax code, and probably all of us will be making the same arithmetic mistakes.

Moody's raises J.C. Penney liquidity rating to SGL-1 from SGL-2
Moody's Investors Service revised J.C. Penney's rating outlook to positive from stable. Moody's also affirmed the company's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating, and raised the company's Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-1 from SGL-2. "The rating outlook revision to positive from stable reflects Moody's view that JC Penney's operating performance has shown signs of improvement as a result of better merchandising, cost controls, and integration of its online business" said Moody's Vice President Scott Tuhy. He added, "we have seen positive momentum building for the company to achieve $700M to $800M of adjusted EBITDA, a level in which earnings would fully cover cash flow and interest". The upgrade in the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating primarily reflects the company's improved operating performance as we expect free cash flow to be near break-even levels and the company's meaningful cash balances are sufficient to cover expected seasonal working capital needs.

Abercrombie & Fitch downgraded to Market Perform from Outperform at FBR Capital
FBR Capital downgraded Abercrombie & Fitch to Market Perform and maintained its $24 price target. The firm said store productivity could be pressured across segments as the brand image turnaround is a ways out and may require a new generation of consumers. FBR said sweeping cultural changes are positive but benefits will take time, there is potential for continued margin pressure from international, and the teen/young adult industry is in a multiyear transition.

I'll leave it to those who actually know what those games are. Also, eff yeah for Thursday. Don't got no schoolin' that day so I can watch it live.
I'm going to consider this poll closed Tuesday at 5PM PST so that I have some time to get a save game going. For this week I'd like to pick a game I know I can run without too much hassle. After I get some time to fool around with virtual environments I'll start breaking out the older classics.

Clive Barker's Undying
#14 Edited by Silver-Streak (1553 posts) -
@snide: YES, I suggested Undying in the first usermade thread about this.
Undying is so crazy and great. Man, I hope that wins, but I know that BG2 probably will.
Thank you for putting this up, though. Keep on being awesome.

I would love to see you play Grim Fandango, mostly because I fucking love Grim Fandango and more people should.
The deck seems stacked toward "isometric RPG from the mid 90s-> early 00s". Not terribly random. Or maybe that's true randomness. Its so random it looks like a pattern.
But when you put all those games on a list with BG2, people who've never played any of those games skim and go "I will vote for the thing I've heard of and assume its better than the other things" which is unfortunate.

Never even heard of half of these games.
#36 Posted by The_Hiro_Abides (1284 posts) -
Well at least I've played half of this list in their entirety. I voted for Temple of Elemental Evil. Mostly because I've never played that. Clive Barker's Undying would be my second choice as it's Cthulhu-esque. I heard the beginning is creepy and then there's some crazy gun in the middle.
Really? Baldur's Gate 2? I'm right in the process of playing it myself >< Finally dabbling with a Cleric/Ranger multi-class. A first timer for me.
I'd rather see ToEE - I have never touched that game.
EDIT: Also approve of Nox, that game is the reason I always capitalize the N and X to put more emphasize on Nox. It was a solid RPG that never got the attention it deserved, and developed by Westwood nonetheless!
Baldur's Gate 2 is gonna be boooooring. Does ANYBODY REMEMBER how PAINFUL the intro dungeon is? That thing is like dullsville central. I mean I know we're on GiantBomb and all but come on, we've already done a giant RPG before why are you guys out to make it WORSE D:
Voted for Wing Commander 3 as it'd had the maximum fun value in the least time. Also because Wing Commander is a great silly game.
If I could see some other PC games it'd probably be weird stuff like Shivers 1 or 2, maybe 7th Guest in that regard. Just like 90's era PC CD adventure games. Alone in the Dark? Edward Carnby is that era's greatest action hero!
#41 Posted by The_Hiro_Abides (1284 posts) -
I love Baldur's Gate 2, but unless you're fighting a dragon or fighting a bhaal spawn I'll be less interested.
Also, love the Crusader No Remorse love going on. Although, I played the sequel first.

#44 Posted by Silver-Streak (1553 posts) -
Man, BG2 is totally going to win. Boo. Everyone should vote for Undying, it is far less known/played than WC3 or BG2. And still holds up for being crazy.
Not to be too bossy, but I'd prefer you leave ToEE until next week. I have reasons.
Also consider this post a write-in vote for Master of Magic. Trouble is, a game in that always starts a little slow before all the volcano armageddons, flying invisible warships and unstoppable undead armies show up.

I'm not a subscriber, so maybe what I say doesn't matter as much, but I'd be cool with any of these except BG2. Everyone has seen that. You and Vinny playing games shouldn't be about running through what's popular, it should be about tackling quirky cult favorites.

Gem Full Bands 1925-S Dime1925-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Dan Miller. The 1925-S is known as one of the worst produced of all Mercury dimes. However, when found in high grade, the only real concern is "fadeaway" on the peripheral lettering. Other than that characteristic (which may or may not be perceived as a deficiency by a collector), this is a lovely coin. The surfaces are bright and highly lustrous, the central crossbands are strongly brought up, and there are no obvious marks on either side. Population: 69 in 65 (1 in 65+) Full Bands, 19 finer (12/12).

Letter to the Editor: Chuckle-worthy article
Billie Goreham, Burkburnett
I had to laugh when I saw the headline on Sept. 8, "Curriculum tool proves popular," because that isn't what I've heard. CSCOPE, the article said, is so popular that 888 districts in Texas have adopted it. I continued reading, wanting to know why it was popular and with whom.
It occurred to me that perhaps the author interviewed some teachers or parents who really were sold on it and I wanted to know what they thought. It evidently is popular with administrators if they will spend $107,000 plus to buy it and implement it every year.
It doesn't seem to help test scores, but test scores don't tell you what kind of education your child is getting anyway.
They just tell you which schools put the most emphasis on teaching the test. (They also don't tell you that the state assessment program costs Texas $100 million a year.)
The teachers I spoke with around the area said that CSCOPE would be a valuable resource, but it was not a comprehensive curriculum. I like what Mr. Powers said, that the teachers "need to finesse the curriculum because teaching is both science and art." I think he is right. That is exactly what teachers would like, the ability to choose and create lessons that take into account the individual children in their classrooms.
Let's see, the Department of Education in Washington spends millions of dollars to mandate "No Child Left Behind" to make sure that all children are on the same level.
The Texas Education Agency spends hundreds of millions on tests to make sure that all students are learning the same things.
Then local administrators spend hundreds of thousands so that all students learn the same thing at the same time in the same way.
What a priceless cookie-cutter education system we have. But that will produce what we evidently want, teachers who do not have to think, children who cannot think and a society that will not think, but will willingly follow whatever the government tells them to do.

Every 12 years, the U.S. presidential election coincides with the one in Mexico, and 2012 is one of those years. There are a host of issues to talk about, particularly those that overlap with the Obama administration, like drug interdiction and legalization, the "Fast and Furious" gun program, and Attorney General Eric Holder's involvement, the Mexican judicial system, and NAFTA.
Still, even a perfect approach on key issues might not be enough for Santorum or another candidate to steal the vote from Romney.
Romney's campaign apparatus, consistently the most organized and well funded among all the candidates, has already paid off big with a commanding win in the neighboring Nevada caucus. And unlike in other states, a demographic with an unusually large number of Mormons will benefit Romney.
Mormons make up about 6 percent of Arizona's population, and because they're overwhelmingly Republican, their sway in the primary will be palpable.
"Mitt Romney's 'Mormon problem' ain't a problem in Arizona," said Jennifer Steen, a political science professor at Arizona State University.
Arizona's primary isn't important for its delegate count so much as it is for the momentum it will either give Romney if he wins or deny him if he loses (or barely wins). The biggest primary event of the year, Super Tuesday on March 6, is just a week later. Romney can enter that race as the decided front-runner if he wins in both Arizona and Michigan on Feb. 28, but short of that his campaign will have to do some mighty spinning to shape the narrative otherwise.
"If Santorum were to pick off a victory in one of these two states," Coughlin said, "that would be a serious dent in the Romney momentum going into Super Tuesday."
