By R.H. JosephIt's hard to say what there is to say 'cause I can't quite say what was said. With a sissy in mufti looking too much like Buffy it seemed there'd be trouble ahead. But my hands soon were clappin' and my toes also tappin'; good rock 'n' roll music played loud. While a guy/chick was screamin' and steamin' 'bout issues both heartfelt and deeply profound. 'cause his lyrics are racy, yet funny and spacey, the hippest among you should head Through a door to this madness, you'll erupt soon with gladness to things the more timid deplore. Told primarily through lyrics (deeply) embedded in rock 'n' roll music, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" will transport you with a kickin' band capable of overcoming the shortcoming of a frequently unintelligible, yet presumably hip, book. For this production set designer Kat Conley has turned the interior of Actor's Express into a country & western saloon replete with a stage, a long (functioning) bar festooned with pictures of Johnny Cash and Elvis (the way we'd prefer to remember him), and intimate little tables with surfaces no bigger than the hubcaps on grandpa's Buick. Fundamentally you're in a club, not a theater and you can imbibe spirits during the course of the rousing performance by Hedwig and his band, The Angry Inch. The play (or more accurately, the concert) is a reflection by Hedwig on those psychological uncertainties and affairs of the heart which leave so many adolescents, particularly those outside the sexual mainstream, despondent. From what I could gather, young Hedwig found himself stirred by the sort of sexual desires often shunned and condemned by bourgeois society and felt adrift in a world beyond his ken. There were issues with his mother as well but because I couldn't understand what he was singing I'm not entirely sure what they were. Apparently a demonstrative love for her child was not forthcoming and there was something about blood. As to the latter, that's about all I could glean. Hedwig's story begins in Berlin prior to the end of the Cold War and the destruction of its infamous wall. Presumably John Cameron Mitchell (text) and Stephen Trask (music and lyrics) set the story in Berlin for it provides the frisson of deviance so appealing to those attuned to that sort of thing precisely the sort of people who will find this play most seductive. (If you liked "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"?) Furthermore, from what I could gather Hedwig finds the destruction of the wall personally symbolic, somehow referring to the ultimate reunification of his divided self. As I said, it's hard to be definitive when significant portions of the lyrics prove so elusive. Nevertheless, for the right audience an extremely hip, urban audience this production is a gas. It could be so much better, however, if a lyric sheet were provided for perusal prior to Hedwig (Mark Salyer) making his grand entrance. It's worth noting that in their programs the Atlanta Symphony provides translations of the choral music, thereby making the concerts so much more meaningful, and "supertitles," translations that stream above the proscenium electronically, are now commonplace at opera hoses everywhere. Those snippets that are accessible in Hedwig range from atrocious puns to acerbic satire, from witty send ups of a variety of popular music forms (including a pointed clarification of the difference between heavy metal and punk) to the sort of scathing, irreverent references to religious issues that will render this play blasphemous to those inclined to employ such terms. The aforementioned will be less than enamored of Hedwig as well. No doubt in the demimonde within which those such as Hedwig dwell there is a particular word or phrase that best describes individuals such as he. However, as I am unaware of what this might be (The judgmental among us will simply refer to him as a deviant.), suffice it to say the character's face is overwhelmed by theatrical makeup, his head subsumed beneath a wig that would have made Farrah Faucett proud, and his body is as devoid of hair as Michael Jordan's ebony pate. A looker he's not. But the boy can rock 'n' roll. Backed by the effervescent (you gotta see her clog!) Katy Carkuff on keyboards, Chad Yarborough, Marc Cram and Angela Motter on guitars, Jim Johnson on bass, and Andrew Davis on drums, Salyer erupts in hard core rock, croons sensitively on ballads, and brings down the house with a saucy country bit that will have you doubled up with laughter. Peter Hauenstein is musical director and Joseph P. Monaghan III is the sound designer. It must be said, I doubt the unintelligibility is Monaghan's fault. It's the nature of hard core rock to be a visceral assault on the senses the more it hurts, the better it is. The band is great and it hurt so good. Salyer and Carkuff contribute an astonishing amount of physical intensity to the production and the audience responds as they do within the delirium associated with a more typical rock 'n' roll concert. Randee Trabitz directs and there's nary a longeur in the fast-paced, seamless event. Adding to this fascinating theatricality are some special lighting effects for which Cat Tate is held responsible and it must be assumed that she is also responsible for the interesting cut outs projected upon the wall. For the right audience, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is a must.

Has Mila Kunis been doing some shopping in the kids' section?
The Oz the Great and Powerful actress stepped out for Gemfield's VIP Showcase in London in this itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny black blazer.
But the cropped top and wide-legged pants are actually an intentional shrunken tux look by designer Antonio Berardi, which totally ruins our juicy theory about beau Ashton Kutcher throwing the wrong things in the dryer...
Check out some of Mila's more appropriately-sized styles!

30 year old woman | Plano, TX, USA | Seeking men 30-38 within 50 miles
looking for someone whose mom did a great job :)
I am a happy, good hearted, intelligent, caring and loyal woman who enjoys doing a lot of different things, especially in good company. I believe exercising is important to stay healthy and enjoyed playing sports growing up. I like hanging out with friends, going out, artistic and sporting events, dancing, listening to live music, traveling, interesting conversations, laughing, watching movies/tv, dinning out, family cook outs, relaxing at the beach and being around others who are positive. I'm looking for a good, honest, fun, mature and smart guy with values similar to mine; someone I can hang out with, talk to about pretty much any subject, who gives importance to education …someone a kid can look up to. Family and friends are very important in my life and I look for someone who feels the same way. I'm hoping to find a companion for life if everything works out and we make each other happier. If you want to know anything else please ask --- Ok, so I read some profiles over the weekend, some extensive ones, some where you can sense a lot of frustration but that actually give you a pretty good idea of what you'd be dealing with. So I got inspired to update mine (before getting into it, I don't think I should/will date anyone over 40). As much as I love going to Mavs, Rangers and FC Dallas games (other sports too), I definitely wouldn't watch each game of the season (maybe Mavs) but, I think I'd just fine if you watch more games than me. I also enjoy games on TV especially when finals or semifinals, at a bar, friend's house or at home while multitasking. I'm all in for a trip to go skiing or surfing (the last one might require some good practice) but in all honesty is not something I try to do every chance I get. I lived in Paris for 6 months while on a University exchange program – I'd rather talk about this over coffee but – I went to a couple cities in Germany, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK and Spain. I was very career oriented but was kind of forced to find better life/work balance, and I'm actually enjoying very much working in a surprisingly healthy corporate environment in a position still intellectually demanding but that doesn't require me to take work home (99% of the time). I always thought I'd do an MBA at a top school, but I'm currently reconsidering if I will and when.. an MBA would be a great plus but not a deal breaker. Now, I do have a little angel who will be turning 3 soon, he's a great, happy and healthy boy with lots of energy but well behaved. I know having kids can make it more complicated and it's not for everybody... But some people could be missing out on great people for not taking a chance to see how it would be. ---------- Yes, MORE As of today, I don't go to clubs or bars more than once a month. I want a good human being to share my life with, I don't believe you need to be Christian or Catholic for that (or follow any religion for that matter). I believe you can be a better person than someone who claims to be Catholic/Christian, is the common values what matters to me. I've always loved kids, I can care for someone else's, I have lots of love to give. We have lots of fun on weekly play dates and enjoy the family environment. So one more little one is welcomed… Daddy though, has to care about providing a healthy (physically and emotionally) environment for them to grow in. I was with someone with 2 kids who said horrible things about them (his own), blamed it 100% on the mother, despite the fact they spent more time with him and he wasn't great either. His family would also say they were terrible brats (because of both parents), but nobody really did anything about it. It was not a pleasant experience, it was frustrating and I worried about his kids and mine. 3 kids plus mine = one too many unfortunately. No kids GREAT too

The victim who was raped by Asaram Bapu's son Narayan Sai on Wednesday said she would want the severest form of punishment for the latter.
"I am extremely happy today. Finally, I will be able to eat with peace, as I was not able to sleep for nights since the time I filed an F.I.R against him. He has spoilt the lives of many girls. If this would not have come forth, he would have spoilt the lives of many more. It is a very important day," said the victim
"I would like to thank Surat Police, the Delhi Police and, the police of the other states as well as my lawyer and the media for their support," she added.
Furthermore, she said it was up to the court to decide what has to be done with him, but
she wanted the severest form of punishment for Narayan Sai.
"I wish he gets the severest form of punishment. The minds of the people who still follow him are like that of a terrorist. Their motto is to do or die. They consider him to be A god. They can do anything for him anytime. Both father and son are the same, but the son is even a step ahead of him," she said.
On being questioned as to why she had not filed a complaint earlier she said it would have been pointless as the police would not have filed an F.I.R.
"The police would not have filed an FIR if we had complained against him while we were residing at the ashram, as he had a lot of influence back then. No one would have gone against him. But today there is more awareness and people have been coming forward to speak up," she added.
Narayan Sai was arrested by a joint team in Pipli, Haryana on Wednesday.
According to television reports, Sai had been on the run for the past 58 days.
Surat police had registered two complaints - one against Asaram and the other against his son Sai of rape, sexual assault and illegal confinement as alleged by two sisters on October 6.
Earlier on November 11, a local court declared Sai a proclaimed absconder under section 82 of CrPC, and asked him to appear before investigating officer or court within 30 days from the day of declaration of "proclamation for person absconding".
The elder of the two sisters has accused Asaram of sexually assaulting her between 1997 and 2006 at his ashram, while the younger sister has filed a complaint against Sai, accusing him of repeated sexual assaults between 2002 and 2005 at the Surat ashram.
Asaram, 72, was arrested on September 1 on allegations of sexual assault on a minor at his ashram in Jodhpur. (ANI)

'Manhattan' series premiere: Daniel Stern and John Benjamin Hickey go nuclear in 1940s New MexicoAdd to Favorites | Manhattan
After taking viewers far back in time with "Salem," WGN America is moving up to the nuclear age.
The cable channel's second original drama series, "Manhattan" -- as in "Manhattan Project" -- debuts Sunday (July 27), recalling the World War II-era development of atomic weapons through the stories of the scientists and spouses brought together in Los Alamos, N.M.
Not everyone knew everything about the mission, and some far less than others, so information became a prized commodity in the community that was created.
The ensemble cast combines such television veterans as Daniel Stern (the adult voice of Kevin on "The Wonder Years") and John Benjamin Hickey ("The Big C") with relative home-screen newcomers including Olivia Williams ("The Sixth Sense") and Christopher Denham ("Argo").
The "Manhattan" premiere will get an encore on Tribune-owned stations across the country the same night as its WGN America showing. Creator and executive producer Sam Shaw says the program's seed was planted about six years ago.
"It was sort of inspired by conversations with my dad, who had just retired," he explains to Zap2it. "He was a criminal defense attorney, and since he couldn't just sit around not working on something, he took on a bunch of pro bono cases."
Shaw notes that some of those involved "Yemeni men who were detainees at Guantanamo. I had a million questions -- and because he was dealing with matters of national security, he could answer very few of them, even really simple and practical ones. The idea that you could be involved in work that had all kinds of political and moral implications, and that you couldn't share that experience with the people you were closest to, was fascinating to me."
Cast in "Manhattan" as Glen Babbit, a father figure to the other physicists working on the Project, Stern also directs the eighth episode of the series, being filmed on a 12-acre New Mexico set. He couldn't resist when the extra opportunity was offered by longtime friend Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing"), both a director and another executive producer of the show.
Stern cites Hickey's character, Frank Winter, as "a genius force, but without the social skills to turn those ideas into reality. The young bucks on the science team all have great, fresh minds, but need guidance and direction to focus their energies in the right way.
"That is where Glen comes in," Stern says, "and I love the tone of the part. He's got wisdom, he's got secrets of his own, and he can get the best out of people."

Just finished HALO 2
Well, as the title says.
Took the week off work to play a pirate copy of HALO 2.
I feel cheated and numb - the graphics are worse than the original, the shotgun has got silly green blobs stuck to it - :lame:
First half of the game is OK - just like the original was, then the same thing happens - the FLOOD!!, and it turns into a simple childish game offering nothing to the imagination and certainly nothing for a true gamer.
thanks god I have'nt bought it!!!
(im ready for the flames from the HALO fans) all 2 of you!!!
this game is lameass junk - bring on Half-Life 2, thank god for PC games.
bungie just raped there Xbox customers.
poor show indeed.
Re: Just finished HALO 2
Atleast he is honest. And how the hell can you feel "cheated and numb"? You stole the fricken game you dumbass. :lame: Guess I will do the poor man thing and buy my copy.
Re: Just finished HALO 2
I wanted this game to be sooo good.
and dont call me dumbass, you pre-pubesent twat!
Re: Just finished HALO 2
Uh huh...graphics worse than the original...I guess we'll take a pirate's word for it and just ignore what every screenshot, preview, review (all 1 of them) and video of the game shows :rolleyes: . Seriously, I've seen dozens of games go through this whole "person played the game early and said it sucked" deal before, and in almost every case I've been more than satisfied with the final product (the second most recent victim would be Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders). I'll wait for some real reviews before I expect anything different from the game.
Re: Just finished HALO 2
oh well - its your money - dont say I did'nt warn you.
Re: Just finished HALO 2
I'm suprised the graphics are actually worse. They looked pretty decent in screenshots and videos....decent in terms of what an xbox can do. The flood again!? That's pretty weak. My fiance is gonna be dissapointed...she loved the first one and can't wait for the sequel...=/ Over @ rage a guy got a pirated copy of GTA:San Andreas and bashed it...said it's pure crap...looks like 2 big console titles may end up dissapointing the masses.....I'm so thankful HL2 will be out in less than a month, powered by the awesomeness of the PC.
Re: Just finished HALO 2
its like doom3 on a GF4 mx - running on an old goldfish bowl TV.
total pants.
Re: Just finished HALO 2
I'll buy your copy from you =) The fiance will love me for it. ::wink wink:: lol
Re: Just finished HALO 2
let us never ever speak of doom 3 again. :lame:
Re: Just finished HALO 2
I'll gladly post it to anyone wanting to see this abomination with there own eyes - after all - im a pirate which means im blind and cant have an opinion on the quality of the graphics!!!
some people man - stupid is as stupid does...........
Re: Just finished HALO 2
Re: Just finished HALO 2
and what is it that you want to do to me Sat?? - im not gay so your **** out of luck pinky

Meanwhile, Obama Has No Plan for The Debt
Now that Paul Ryan has been thoroughly dragged through the mud for trying to propose a solution to the nation's fiscal problems (and Megan McArdle has written the coda for that episode), it's time to examine the Democratic alternatives to the Roadmap.
Of course, there are none. The closest thing we have to a left-wing Roadmap (that is, a plan that exists and is scored by the Congressional Budget Office) is House minority leader Steny Hoyer's June speech on deficit reduction. During his remarks, Hoyer, being less partisan and more intellectually honest than certain New York Times columnists, acknowledged Ryan's efforts to provide a conservative, spending-only approach to cutting the debt: "...a spending-only plan has been on the table for more than two years. It's Republican Congressman Paul Ryan's Roadmap, and it was originally introduced in May of 2008. Even though I strongly oppose its severe Medicare cuts for seniors, I've praised Congressman Ryan for being the only one in his party to offer a solution equal to the problem."
Hoyer then sketched out the roughest outlines of a more liberal plan, one that includes, on the revenue side, "a serious discussion" about letting all the Bush tax cuts expire. On the spending side, Hoyer recommended lowering the defense budget, and recognized the need to trim entitlements, proposing "a higher retirement age, or one pegged to lifespan; more progressive Social Security and Medicare benefits; and a stronger safety net for the Americans who need it most." In other words, cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Now, admitting that the government needs to cut Medicare mere months after your party has rammed through "comprehensive health care reform" does take some boldness. Give Hoyer credit, even though the times call for something a bit more serious than "a serious discussion" on tax hikes.
Crucially, though, the Democrats have control of the presidency and both houses of Congress. You're not seeing fully-scored legislation from any Democrats (though please let me know if I'm missing something). They're going to need to do a little better.
Specifically, President Obama has slightly more of an obligation to address the fiscal problems than does Paul Ryan. And yet Obama's stated plan is...to let the deficit commission come up with a plan.
In fact, the Obama administration's last budget planned for a fiscal trajectory that is, by the administration's own admission, unsustainable. Here's Office of Management and Budget director Peter Orzsag:
Let's be clear: even with the substantial-and historic-deficit reduction proposed in this year's Budget, we will still face unsustainable medium- and long-term deficits. And the Administration knows that more will need to be done to restore the nation to a fiscally sustainable path.
That's why the President has called for the creation of a bipartisan Fiscal Commission....
Of course Obama would say, as he does constantly, that he inherited the bulk of the deficits from George W. Bush. He would be right, but that has no bearing on what constitutes a responsible strategy. If the Democrats wanted to undo all of Bush's irresponsible spending, they could use their majorities to get rid of the prescription drug program, pull the troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and let the Bush tax cuts expire. Otherwise, it's on them to find out another way to balance the long term budget. We have a spending-only plan, courtesy of Paul Ryan. Let's hear the revenue-only plan, or at least a compromise.

Suspended Players Apologize to Teammates
I just don't see what is gained by benching them. They appeal would be a waste of time because Ohio State would thoroughly piss off the NCAA/BCS because the ratings will definitely suffer as a result. They guys will still be missed for 5 games or at best 4. All they'll do is make 0-10 inevitable. I guess it's a pretty repectable thing for Tressel to do, but I don't know, doesn't seem like anything positive comes from it, and we get to see another ass whooping by the SEC on January 4th.
Maybe I'm downplaying the psychological impact of all of this, but all of the commentary surrounding this has a bigger impact on the fanbase than on the players. We're dealing with football players, and dumb kids. That's it. To talk about how this affects Tressel's trust in TP is like talking about what goes on in the Oval Office on a daily basis. Quite simply, we have no clue.
When these guys are on the football field, all of the other BS falls away. TP is not spending his time pondering the finer points of morality. He's a football player, and they will do what they do best come January 4th. This will not be the reason that we lose.
Lou Holtz just said on CFB Live that if he were the coach at tOSU he would absolutely let them play.
When your boss, and your league's boss, fight for guys to be eligible, you can't thumb nose at them, by sitting players RT @GenoG:
Mark May hates OSU. Therefore, I hate Mark May.
The offseason begins when your season ends. Even then there are no days off.

Great Product and it looks better in reality than on the picture
MADINA from Mobile, AL – Verified Buyer
I was looking for a play mat for my baby and I spent so much time looking for the right one.....But I don't know why I decide to give a try to this one. I received it today and I'm so satisfied; it is one of my 2014 best purchases. The mat is very thick and it does not smell at all. Baby can roll, have tummy time, scroll and play safely on it. Good quality/price.
60" Square Ultra Soft Toddler Mat
Jean from Wilmington, NC – Verified Buyer
This is such a big thick soft toddler mat that it is a "dream come true". It is a truly amazing product in beautiful colors. So large that it is perfect for parents and children to play together or read together or just bond. I just love it for entertaining a busy baby. This mat is worth every penny because it is so child safe and will be used several years. Great quality!
Beautiful and Cushy
Elizabeth from Miami, FL – Verified Buyer
I bought this mat so my 4 month old and I would have somewhere to hang out all day. It's soft and bright. It's pretty close to 2 inches thick. I'm sure it will settle after a lot of use, but for now it's perfect. It is bulky to put away though. I can fold it in half, but I can't get it to stay folded in quarters.
Large Mat
Janet from Marlborough, MA – Verified Buyer
We ordered one of these mats for a young toddler classroom. It was too thick and would be considered 'trip-able' so we put it in an older toddler classroom. It is very comfy! We ordered another one!
Marie from Beaufort, SC – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
True to picture. Thick mat. Easy to clean. Great for infants to pre-school. Purchased the blocks with the mat. children have fun resting and playing with the blocks. Will purchase more Pros: Durable and colorful
As described, a bit thin
Ximeng from East Hanover, NJ – Verified Buyer
The product arrived as described and it works great for our purposes. However it is a bit thin in terms of "cushion." But even still, it works well for our needs.
Wicked Awesome
Ann from brockton, MA – Verified Buyer
From the second the kids come through the door...it's WHERE ARE THE MATS! Enough said.
Kevin from Dixon, MO – Verified Buyer
This may is beautiful. It is also very thick for babies to play on.
These are a great deal!
Barbie from Anderson, SC – Verified Buyer
We were spending tons of money from another merchant and these saved us so much money!
Toddler Mat
Peyman from California – Verified Buyer

The Sox lost their cleanup hitter in Manny Ramirez, which begs the question: Who takes his place in the all-important No. 4 spot in the Red Sox lineup? And where does Jason Bay fit in?
