What I describe here is the simple and fast way to make it. It might seem like a long instructable, but I want to guide you step by step. Lets start!
Step 1: What you'll need
-5 sheets of construction paper. (you can use any type of paper you have at home that does NOT have a shiny coat or wax on it)
-2 sheets of white paper (optional)
-About 3 gallons of warm water. (you won't necessarily use the entire amount)
-A big enough container to hold that much water and fit the mold.
-A mold to make the paper (you can see my other instructables on how to make this mold out of screen sheet and a picture frame)
-10 felt sheets
Step 2: Method Part 1
2. Break the five sheets of paper into small squares. Add half of the paper scraps to the blender with 5 cups of water. Let it stand for one or two minutes before processing. Mix in the blender for 1 minute. You shouldn't see big chunks of paper. Deposit the mix in the container.
3. Do the same with the remaining sheets.
4. If you want, you can mix the 2 sheets of white paper. The end result will have a smoother color.
5. Mix everything together in the container.
6. Add another 4 cups of warm water and mix well. You should have a fine pulp of paper.
Why did you use full size unuse paper, instead of paper scarps? I mean, you made paper from paper, why not do it in a way that it in a way that shows how to recycle paper from children's craft projects
I could not get onto this link--it said it was not available:
You are using paper to make paper. Revolutionery.
I have a slightly different question. this method shows paper from paper. is it possible to make paper from materials like cotton clothes, banana leaves , coconut tree leaves ? I live in a part of India where banana plantations , coconut plantations are a plenty and this adds to ecological imbalance, so paper making from these would serve the green movement better. what are the pros & cons of these 3 sources ? any other raw material inputs can also be suggested.
I want to understand what is the positive or negative impact of Microwave oven ? what is the total time taken without this oven. because, one may not have this of the larger size than a traditional home usage size.
this is a good step by step approach. I like it. I have a query : what if one uses normal room temperature instead of warm water - does it make any positive or negative impact . my mail id : email@example.com . thanks & regards . Satish
Are you sure you meant "fine", because that looks pretty rough to me...

Occupy Wall Street marked its two-month anniversary with what organizers called a historic day of action. More than thirty thousand people turned out to rally in New York City and march across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Earlier in the day, Occupy Wall Street pushed the NYPD to fortify the area in and around the New York Stock Exchange as hundreds participated in nonviolent civil disobedience. The morning protests led many police in riot gear to commit acts of violence and forcefully arrest a number of people. And, by the time the day of action was over, around 300 people had been arrested.
Demonstrations also took place in cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Dallas. In Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Washington, DC, actions were held on bridges to call attention to economic issues, such as the need for jobs and investment in infrastructure repair.
The protests were a top news item of the day and received a mention at the top of just about every news show broadcast on television. However, the focus of coverage centered on protesters "disrupting traffic" to get their message out. News anchors or pundits asked commentators to explain what the movement expected to accomplish with this tactic and whether it would turn off people, who might otherwise support the message.
This idea that Occupy was about "disrupting traffic" or, in the case of New York, shutting down Wall Street likely originated from a spokesperson with the New York Police Department. Most of the movement wants to march. It does not want to stop in one location and hold up traffic. It is the police who are unable or unwilling to keep moving the crowd, who create situations where protesters disrupt traffic.
In some instances, protesters do wish to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience and block traffic. Police can tell when that is the intention. The protesters will march into an area and sit down. If they do not do this, chances are they wish to keep moving or they are gathered around to watch a police force buildup unfold, which tends to happen once police no longer allow a group of demonstrators to keep moving.
The media fixated on supposed plans Occupy Wall Street had to shut down subways and shut down the Brooklyn Bridge. For example, CNN repeated this NYPD talking point multiple times. Anchors or commentators would say this and then go to an occupier, who would inform CNN this was not the plan at all. The plan was to educate and talk to New Yorkers on subway trains on the way to a demonstration in Foley Square. The plan was to use the pedestrian walkway on the Brooklyn Bridge to march and not to disrupt traffic.
Bloomberg and NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly also told press seven cops had been injured by protesters. Bloomberg and Kelly's press conference was pure propaganda aimed at defiling and defaming Occupy Wall Street. It wholly ignored the injuries to protesters during the day and the incidents of police violence, such as police dragging people by their hair or giving demonstrators concussions while hitting them with batons.
Tens of thousands of people turned out to exercise their right to peaceably assemble and voice their grievances with government. It clearly showed this movement is not going away any time soon. Whether occupations have encampments or not, regular demonstrations will be taking place from now until next year (at least).
Firedoglake's live blog continues now. Here is a Twitter list to follow for updates on all things related to the Occupy movement. I will be on the road today from Occupy Boston to Occupy Portland (in Maine). I will be at the Portland occupation at 5:30 pm tonight.
10:23 PM A report from my visit to Occupy Maine in Portland: Very tense at the camp. This morning there was an incident of violence with a man hitting someone in the head with a hammer. I attended a General Assembly where a press statement was read. It was very strong and I will post it tomorrow here for people to read.
Shamus (sp?), a homeless person, had a very powerful and moving reaction to the incident. He said he has no place to go. The camp is his home. He lives here. If the police came crashing down on Occupy Maine tonight, he would have to go sleep in a doorway somewhere. He pleaded with occupiers to make sure an incident like what happened this morning does not happen again because the camp is all he has right now.
The anxiety among occupiers reflects the sort of emotion city governments are creating among occupations. Drug overdoses, veteran suicides, sexual assaults, violent incidents, etc, are all happening because occupations, though utopian in their vision, are not immune to society's ills. These problems do not happen because the camps themselves are filled with thieves, rapists and vagrants. They happen because the state has failed to adequately provide social welfare to people, who are visiting these camps and seeking refuge. And, occupiers want to help but in many cases the baggage homeless people bring is too much to handle.
More from Occupy Maine tomorrow.
10:11 PM Screen grab from a video of police pepper spraying UC davis protesters
In the video, it looks like this riot cop is spraying Roundup on weeds. Actually, that isn't a fair comparison. The stream of spray is much more constant and like water from a hose.
Here's the video:
10:02 PM Portland Police Bureau release video of pepper spraying of young woman at yesterday's day of action demonstration
4:47 PM American Library Association condemns the city's seizure and destruction of the People's Library at Occupy Wall Street:
The dissolution of a library is unacceptable. Libraries serve as the cornerstone of our democracy and must be safeguarded. An informed public constitutes the very foundation of a democracy, and libraries ensure that everyone has free access to information.
The very existence of the People's Library demonstrates that libraries are an organic part of all communities. Libraries serve the needs of community members and preserve the record of community history. In the case of the People's Library, this included irreplaceable records and material related to the occupation movement and the temporary community that it represented.
We support the librarians and volunteers of the Library Working Group as they re-establish the People's Library.
But, the city of New York apparently does not. Police have been seizing or confiscating books from the People's Library as it attempts to regenerate ever since the raid early in the morning on Tuesday.
4:39 PM Report and video from Adam Gabbatt of The Guardian on Oakland police beating the 2nd veteran that was injured in Occupy Oakland protests, Kayvan Sabehgi
4:20 PM I am now in Portland, Maine. There is actually some news to report on the occupation: City inspectors showed up to the camp on Thursday. They say they found some "issues." The city isn't sharing what these "issues" are until a list can be ready.
Also, apparently, in the last day or two, there was a hammer assault at the camp. A man has been charged by police.
4:16 PM RT video of OWS protester bleeding from the head after being hit by a baton
2:51 PM New York churches offering evicted Occupy Wall Street protesters shelter so they can continue to demonstrate regularly are now being spied on by the NYPD.
2:49 PM UPDATE—4:02 PM Someone with AFP made it so video of an AFP journalist getting arrested could not play here. So, go to YouTube and watch.
2:48 PM Muslims gather in lower Manhattan to pray and march with Occupy Wall Street protesters against a decade of NYPD spying on Muslim communities
2:37 PM ICYMI: Occupy London takes over UBS building, calls it "Bank of Ideas." The Guardian further reports:
They plan to welcome artists and performers, use the space as a replacement for closed-down nurseries, community centres and youth clubs, and highlight government moves to criminalise squatting. UBS and the police seem prepared to leave them there for now, although a UBS spokeswoman did say the bank was taking "legal action" against them.
Follow The Guardian's live blog for the latest on Occupy London.
2:34 PM WaPo's Greg Sargent reports on the SEIU and CWA's plans for "Occupy Congress." There is nothing up so far from Occupy Wall Street or Occupy DC or any other occupations on if this is something occupiers would like to do. Unions and progressive groups are proposing this initiative to target Republicans in Congress. They aim to occupy to help President Barack Obama get his agenda through Congress.
2:25 PM Video from Deutsche Welle shows Brookfield Properties security throwing an Occupy Wall Street protester over a barricade.
8:51 AM Not allowed to have tents on the grounds at UC Berkeley, Occupy Cal circumvents the restriction and floats the tents in the air. (via @OccupyColleges)
8:50 AM Occupy Memphis and Tea Party in Memphis sat down together last night and discussed common ground
8:48 AM 21 were arrested at an Occupy Las Vegas protest
8:26 AM Greenway, which owns Dewey Square where Occupy Boston is occupying, wants the encampment gone. They are urging Mayor Thomas Menino to evict the camp. Fortunately, there is a temporary restraining order in effect so technically the city should have to go to court to get an order to evict if they want the occupation removed.
8:24 AM Just one more example of the "professionalism" of the NYPD, which was on display yesterday.
8:23 AM Occupy Wall Street's roundup on their day of action. They put the "historic day" into perspective.

Montgomery County investigators busted what they're calling a million-dollar marijuana growing operation.
Tuesday, with help from Grimes County, they raided a property west of Magnolia off FM 1488 near the Waller County line where they found a mobile home converted into a grow house.
Inside, they found 240 plants. Authorities say each one was capable of producing about a pound of hydroponic weed. The street value is estimated to be $5,500 a pound.
Three people were arrested, one from Grimes County, two from Harris County. One of the Harris County suspects reportedly a self-proclaimed member of the Houstone gang.
A firearm was also found on one of the people arrested. Additional charges related to it were filed.

Icon notebook brings digital style to your paper world
I live in a digital world. I can go weeks without actually having to write something on paper. If the wife wants me to go to the store, I have her text me a list to buy. I don't have to write things down on paper to remember them thanks to reminders on my iPhone and alarms on the calendar. On occasion, I do need to write things down and when I do it would be cool to at least feel like I was using something digital.

Photographs tell story of Great War and its effect on the home front
Posted: November 26, 2013|
The traditional picture of the First World War is one of men in trenches, up to their knees in mud. But what of the sea war, the air war and the war on the home front?
Cornwall's experience of the conflict is documented in a fascinating new book published this month. Packed with revealing photographs of the period, it is the first account of its kind to focus exclusively on the four gruelling years endured by Cornish men and women as they struggled to support the war effort.
Cornwall in the First World War is the work of Pete London, a former defence industry worker and the author of six previous books on Cornish history. Covering the run-up to the declaration of war on Germany on August 4, 1914, military build-up, home front, coastal defence, heroes and aftermath, the author has built a clear picture of how every community was affected.
Even without reading a word, the images alone conjure a time of high drama, hard work, personal suffering and camaraderie. From submarines in Penzance harbour and a huge fleet of warships in Mount's Bay, to crowds of recruits at St Anthony, airships at Mullion, a flying boat on Tresco, HMS Platypus in the River Lynher, sailors on leave in Padstow and female munitions workers in Hayle, all Cornwall was mobilised.
"No-one stayed untouched," said Mr London. "The First World War affected every town and village, while politics, social order and the role of women were forever altered. Losses were truly terrible and afterwards the war's weight lay heavily with many who had returned." Newspapers reported the declaration of war in grave tones. The Cornishman headline read: "Dreadful and Incredible Nightmare is a Reality", while The Royal Cornwall Gazette appeared to welcome the fight, with the words: "A Fight for Honour, Truth and Justice".
"Today, although a century has passed, there is still proximity to the events, sustained by grainy film and faded sepia images reminding us of the fighting," said the author. "We don't have to look too far back to find those who joined up, whether frock-coated, flat-capped or long-skirted. And Cornwall's part in the great confrontation was vital."
What made the Great War so different to any other earlier conflict was, of course, the level of losses, the involvement of civilian soldiers, and the contribution of women.
"As Cornwall's men left for distant battlefields, at home another army mustered," he said. "The effect on civilians was unparalleled, fear and loss reaching out to scar even the tiniest villages. The sheer scale of warfare and the numbers joining up had never before been seen. Everyone knew soldiers, sailors or airmen serving their country.
"On the home front the patriotic energy also surged as people rallied to the war effort, anxious to do what they could to bring the horrible affair to and end."
Cornwall in the First World War by Pete London is published by Truran at £8.99. Visit: truranbooks.co.uk

DURHAM, N.H.-Junior forward Adam Purcell (Barrington, R.I.) scored two goals as the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team got back on track as they defeated Drexel University 3-1 Friday afternoon. The Wildcats improve to 5-9-1 and the Dragons fall to 7-6-1.
In the first half, Drexel fired 13 shots on goal and UNH junior goaltender Shaun O'Neil (Wrentham, Mass.) made some impressive saves to keep the Wildcats in the game. Reuben Schaeffer put the Dragons on the board with over 35 minutes into the game off a rebound for a 1-0 lead. Drexel entered the locker room with a 1-0 lead at the half.
The second half belonged to UNH as freshman midfielder Doug Lawver (Doylestown, Pa.) knotted the game 1-1 off a corner kick. Junior back Tyler Tibbs (Beaverton, Oregon) recorded the assist. The Wildcats took over from there as Purcell scored two goals with just under three minutes apart from each other to give the Wildcats the lead and the win.
O'Neil finished with 13 saves and Drexel keeper Mike Haberman stopped five shots.
UNH hosts Hofstra Sunday at 1 p.m. in the final home game of the year.

Election 2012: Szollosi and Kissinger tout education, health careWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
The two men running to represent the 46th District, state Rep. Matt Szollosi and Dave Kissinger, said the economy and education are intertwined.
"I consider them to be very closely interrelated because the public education system in this state is what produces the workers for tomorrow and if we don't have a proper education system and respectable workforce then all of our efforts to create jobs will fail," said Szollosi, a Democrat running for his fourth term in the Ohio House.
"When we talk about jobs and the economy, we have to talk about education," said Republican Kissinger, a first-time candidate and regional vice president at maxIT Healthcare.
District 46 includes parts of Jerusalem Township, Springfield Township, Oregon, Toledo and Maumee.
Both men said their experience — political in Szollosi's case and in the health care field in Kissinger's — qualifies them.
Matt Szollosi
Szollosi's family members have been longtime players in the Northwest Ohio political scene. His grandfather was a county commissioner, his parents were Oregon city council members and his brother Frank was a Toledo city councilman.
"I was the one who swore I'd never get involved in politics," Szollosi said and chuckled. "It was recommended to me that I should and I was intrigued by it; I'll admit that I was."
Szollosi received his bachelor's and law degrees from the University of Toledo. He specializes in construction litigation at D'Angelo & Szollosi Co. in Downtown Toledo.
After the political bug bit him, Szollosi served on Oregon City Council from 1999-2006. In 2006, he was elected as state representative for District 49 (which was redistricted in 2012).
The assistant house minority leader said if he were re-elected, he would like to restore some of the more than $2 billion cut from education as a result of House Bill 153, adding that he opposed the bill.
The projected budget surplus could be used to restore those funds and toward worker training and job creation efforts, Szollosi said.
"I can assure you, there are going to be a lot of differences of opinion on what to do with that budget surplus," he noted.
Szollosi also counted working with the budget as one of his greatest accomplishments in office.
"The operating budget is always one of, if not the most monumental task, in the two-year period," he said.
"I also spent a good deal of time on rewriting jury service law, not the most exciting topic but one that is obviously very important to the legal system."
The new law modernizes the language and removes certain provisions.
"The legal system and our court system are of a fair amount of importance to the state," Szollosi said. "A lot of the heavy lifting is done on things that don't catch a lot of headlines."
Szollosi said he is also interested in the Natural Gas Vehicle Initiative, which seeks to expand Ohio's use of natural-gas vehicles.
"I'm trying to learn as much as I can about that," Szollosi said, adding that the initiative is still in its early stages.
Dave Kissinger
This campaign marks Kissinger's first foray into politics. Kissinger, a registered nurse, served in the U.S. Navy from 1990-96.
Kissinger's health care experience will help him if elected, he said.
"My background is in the health care field and health care is a huge part of our state budget and I've seen the challenges that our parties face," he said.
"There's a high level of cost that is coming into our state and we need to make sure we are doing the right things by patients."
Kissinger recommended making the health care compensation model an outcome-based one.
"When we talk about health care, we have to make sure that the compensation model is one that's sustainable. Instead of just asking health care providers to deliver services, we should expect to improve the outcome," he said.
"I'm a strong proponent of the competitive marketplace. I really believe that competition is a very good thing," he said. "When you're competing with other businesses for someone's dollars, you work harder; you strive to provide the services."
That philosophy extends to education. Kissinger said he believes parents should have more choice in where their children attend school.
"I believe the more choices and options the parents have to decide where students go to school, the better the education will be," he said. Kissinger also advocated for more themed schools, where students could study particular interests.
Kissinger also said he would finish out his term if elected.
"I'm completely and totally committed to serving my full term. I won't be running for other offices in this two-year period," he said. "I believe that's very important."

March 4 - April 8, 2012Brennan & Griffin is excited to present: Guy Goodwin: Recent Works.
Guy Goodwin began painting in New York in 1965. He was involved with a group of courageous, experimental downtown New York painters, who defiantly pushed and extended the boundaries of painting which was declared dead at the time. Goodwin and many of his colleagues were celebrated in the exhibition: High Times, Hard Times: Painting in New York from 1967 - 1975, curated by Katy Siegel with David Reed advising. This exhibition highlighted artists who were examining painting in optimistic and radical terms, creating process based works that aimed to broaden and expand the philosophical and material limitations of the day.
Goodwin's recent work demonstrates his continued interest in the possibilities of painting in terms of an object-like, material experience and as a socio-political endeavor. Maintaining the inherent connection to everyday life experiences, Goodwin transforms the workaday material, cardboard, with a dense layering of overlapping painted shapes. Inverting the idea of a canvas by painting on the inside of a cardboard box, Goodwin's colors and shapes build and interact within the box form. Goodwin uses many colors associative of the revolutionary atmosphere in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. For example, in Tania's Day, the orange and black palette is reminiscent of the Symbionese Liberation Army symbol. The textural quality of worn upholstery enfolds the viewer and recalls the interior spaces of factories and diners - physical environments where social networking would occur and communal and political ideals were shared and born.
This will be Goodwin's first exhibition at Brennan & Griffin.
Past Solo Exhibitions include Guy Goodwin: Paintings 1974, 2008, Kathryn Brennan Gallery, Los Angeles, CA, Jeanie Freilich Fine Art, New York, NY, Thorden/Wetterling Galleries, Stockholm, Sweden, Segal/Steinberg Gallery, Montreal, Canada, Heland/Wetterling Gallery, Goteberg, Sweden. Group Exhibitions include: High Times, Hard Times: New York Painting 1967 - 1975, curated by Katy Siegel, Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, NC (Aug - Oct 2006), National Academy Museum, New York, NY (Feb - Apr 2007), American University Museum, Washington, DC (Nov 2006 - Jan 2007), Drawing with Respect to Painting: Guy Goodwin, Brice Marden, Elizabeth Murray, The New York Studio School, New York, NY. Public Collections include: The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY, Centro Cultural Arte Contemporaneo, Mexico City, Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI, Lannan Foundation, Los Angeles, CA and The Museum of American Art, Philadelphia, PA.

Kahler Slater isn't just about doing great work for ourselves and our clients – we believe in giving back to the communities we live, work and play. In fact, it's one of our firm's core values.
We think we grow stronger as a firm and as individuals when we are engaged programs that give back to not only the design world and but our own hometowns. How do we engage? In many ways… by sharing our time, talent and treasures. This includes things like pro-bono work, charitable donations, and even setting aside a day each year to participate in a firm-wide volunteering day.
For the second year, Kahler Slater has participated in the United Way Days of Caring, which paired our employees with local nonprofit organizations to complete projects that they would not otherwise have the time or resources to accomplish. Not only does it bring us closer as a team, but we love helping make our communities in Milwaukee and Madison a little bit better.

Union is a town in Tolland County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 854 at the 2010 census, making it the least populous town in Connecticut and the second-least populous municipality in Connecticut; only the Borough of Fenwick has fewer people. Union includes the village of Mashapaug located in the Eastern Uplands at the Massachusetts state line.
The first white settlement in Union was in 1727, making Union the last Connecticut town east of the Connecticut River to be settled. The first settler was James McNall of Ireland. He was closely followed by his brother William.[1] The town was incorporated in October 1734.[2]
There were 500 people in the town in 1756. The population grew to 767 by 1800, but declined thereafter. There were just 431 people in Union in 1890.[3]
Notable people[edit]
- Alonzo Horton, considered the second founder of the city of San Diego, California, and the founder of Hortonville, Wisconsin, was born in Union on October 24, 1813. His family moved away from the area in 1815.[4]
- Moses G. Leonard (1809–1899), a United States Representative from New York, grew up in Union but was born in nearby Stafford.[5]
- Ebenezer Stoddard (1785–1847), a United States Representative from Connecticut and Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut, was born in Union.[5]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 29.8 square miles (77 km2), of which 28.7 square miles (74 km2) is land and 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2) (3.75%) is water.
Union has the highest town center in eastern Connecticut at 1,015' and the 4th highest in the state.[6] The highest elevation in eastern Connecticut is 1,315' Burley Hill in the northwest part of town.[7] In addition, I-84 reaches its highest elevation in Connecticut (1,002') in Union.
Approximately one-third of the town is state park land, including Bigelow Hollow State Park, Nipmuck State Forest and the Mountain Laurel Sanctuary. A portion of the Yale-Myers Forest and Hull Foresters[8] are located in Union. All combined, there are nearly 34,000 acres of forestland in Union.[9]
Mashapaug Lake is a large lake in Union. The lake is used for fishing, boating, and swimming.
At the census[10] of 2000, there were 693 people, 285 households, and 200 families residing in the town. The population density was 24.1 people per square mile (9.3/km²). There were 332 housing units at an average density of 11.6 per square mile (4.5/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 98.56% White, 0.14% Asian, and 1.30% from two or more races.
There were 285 households out of which 27.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 64.6% were married couples living together, 4.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 29.5% were non-families. 22.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.43 and the average family size was 2.87.
In the town the population was spread out with 21.5% under the age of 18, 3.3% from 18 to 24, 34.6% from 25 to 44, 28.7% from 45 to 64, and 11.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 40 years. For every 100 females there were 103.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 103.0 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $58,214, and the median income for a family was $65,417. Males had a median income of $48,021 versus $35,469 for females. The per capita income for the town was $27,900. About 2.0% of families and 3.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 5.9% of those under age 18 and none of those age 65 or over.
Union residents are zoned to the Union School District for grades Kindergarten through 8. The only school in the district is Union Elementary School.
High Schoolers have the option of attending Stafford High School, Rockville Vocational-Agricultural School, Windham Regional Technical Vocational School or Woodstock Academy.
With over 40,000 acres of forestland in and around town and a major interstate going through it, Union is known for outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, hiking & camping and picnicking.[6] The area's elevation and dominance of evergreen trees makes the area cooler than surrounding places.[11] Most activity is centered around Bigelow Hollow State Park, and especially at Mashapaug Lake.
Snowmobiling is also enjoyed in the area.[12]
The village of Mashapaug in Union is the site of the Traveler Restaurant, a unique eating establishment that gives away used books to its patrons.[13][14]
The Union Free Public Library is housed in one of the town's few public buildings. The library was established by a town meeting in November 1894, and opened March 25, 1895 in a private home. In 1912 it moved into a newly built building, which it still occupies.[15]

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my teenager but now I want one! It is wonderful to take your music with you to a crop or to play while you are papercrafting at home.
The trimmer works very well, the base is nice and sturdy without being too bulky and you can swap out the straight cutting blade for a scalloped blade or a deckle blade or one of several other types of blades! The rubber guide has four sides which is a good money saver too.
After purchasing and then having to replace 4 or 5 $20 paper trimmer over the past few years, this one is a dream to use!
I've been scrapping for two years without a paper trimmer - I've been measuring and hand-cutting all my paper and photos. I can't believe what I've been missing all this time. Plus, I can plug in my iPod! I have an iHome at work, and I plug my iPod in everyday so that I can listen to music in my office. On the weekends, I've been packing up my iHome and carrying it home to use it in my scraproom. Now I don't have to carry all that extra bulk back and forth to work. And, it's so pretty. It really makes my cutting table look cheery and bright. It's worth every penny.
This is the best trimmer ever!!! The colors are awesome. The sound of the speakers is great. It's a great conversation peice. Everyone is shocked by it. It cuts great too. The blade is VERY sharp. I find it's the best trimmer I've used for cutting paper exactly the right size.
I was a bit hesitant to recieve this product thinking it was too good to be true! It is amazing! It cuts very nicely and has all the dimensions on the board, the blade is easy to use and the Ipod fits perfect and the speakers are great! Very very nice! And its really big!

What About Version 3?
12 Oct 2012, 07:02
Curt Sampson (1 post)
According to www.antlr.org, the latest version of ANTLR is 3.4. Especially given that the book covering v3 is out of print now, it would make me feel a lot more comfortable if you explained at the beginning of the V4 Reference that you would tell us about differences between v3 and v4 as they came up, and then did so. I feel rather uncomfortable that I may have just bought a book that won't work for me.
(And no, it's not clear whether or not I'll be able to upgrade to V4 any time soon even once it is released, for both political and technical reasons within the organization in which I work.)

Hi Curt,
The good news is that, for the most part, the grammar metalanguage is the same. Just the actions within the grammar would be a problem. It would be a matter of removing syntactic predicates and that's it. For example, that's all I did in the Java grammar and it worked first time with v4. That said, you should also be aware that v4 does not ask you to create ASTs because it automatically generates parse trees. So, the applications written with the parsers would need to be changed completely to use the new tree mechanism.

Hi Curt,
Just a note that we've now made available the original Definitive ANTLR Reference in ebook form, so anyone using ANTLR 3 will still be able to purchase the last edition's ebook. You can find it at http://pragprog.com/book/tpantlr/the-definitive-antlr-reference.

The Hermitage Rooms at Somerset House
From inception in early 1999 to their launch in late 2000, the Hermitage Rooms at Somerset House have taken just 18 months to become a reality. In that time, the organisers, led by Lord Rothschild and the executive director, Geraldine Norman, have had to turn their vision into reality, helped by an enthusiasm which recognised no barriers, even at those times when the rest of the team were convinced that a November opening was impossible.
Vigilius Eriksen, Equestrian Portrait of Catherine II, c.1762.
Oil on canvas. Detail
Seeking to recreate a sense of the majesty and magic of the Hermitage on the south bank of the Neva in a very small space on the north bank of the Thames, the interiors have been designed by Jasper Jacob to incorporate motifs from the original building - parquet þoors based on the Throne Room of the Winter Palace and gallery furniture derived from the magnificent ensembles dotted around the galleries in St Petersburg. Our first exhibition presents the life and collections of the presiding spirit of the Hermitage, Catherine the Great, whose significance for the museum, St Petersburg and indeed Russia as a whole is difficult to overestimate. Her purchases and commissions of everything from snuffboxes to paintings - including many pieces by English artists (Reynolds, Wright of Derby) and craftsmen (Wedgwood) - still largely define the museum today. Over the coming years the Hermitage Rooms will present a taste of the museum's vast collections and will contribute to scholarly research and exchange between curators and of course to marketing and fundraising for the Hermitage.
The process of cultural exchange has already begun, although in a slightly different sense. No such international project is without its misunderstandings, but there is often a tendency to put down any apparent strangeness in Russian procedure to mere inefficiency. Often, however, the root lies simply in different accepted practices, to Russian laws and insurance, export and transportation procedures established by the Ministry of Culture. The problem is not so much language - many of the staff speak English - as a different mentality, a problem which cannot be resolved simply by translation. My role in the project, far more important than my translation and editing of the catalogue, was to act as a cultural interpreter, to discover what exactly was being misunderstood in different conceptions of museum practice and to soothe the nerves of those desperate to understand, in a hurry, precisely why something so self-evident in one country was unacceptable in the other. Having lived in Russia for 13 of the last 15 years, 11 of them in St Petersburg (where I have been attached to the Hermitage since 1994), this is where I can contribute most.
Many of those working in British museums 15 years ago would recognise the problems faced by the Hermitage today, but Russia's greatest museum is catching up fast, with the advantage of being able to view our mistakes from a distance and choose from a variety of alternatives in everything from the storage and conservation of works on paper to the way they do their (prize-winning) web site. Curators are now able to travel freely, to develop the kind of links with staff and scholars in other museums which allow them to absorb the experience of those museums, to adapt it to their own practice. The Hermitage Rooms at Somerset House must and will contribute to extend such links.

The advantages of an organic fertilizer are massive.

I am so loving this wonderful shadow and so happy it was repromoted as I was entirely unaware of it when it first was released. While Christine categorizes it as "warm", I find it to be a lovely, silvery taupe brown that leans more cool. It's a wonderfully versatile shade.
MAC Stolen Moment Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a "dark taupe." It's a dark taupe brown with warm undertones and a frosted, metallic sheen. It had good color payoff dry, though it appeared warmer, while damp application was fully opaque and richer-looking. It wore well for six hours dry, eight hours damp.

The great, black, hairy beast stalked the lobby.
It punched the button, slipped through the elevator doors.
Up, up. Out.
Past gaping nurses.
Down the hall.
Intense. Relentless.
Three months ago, I wrote about my mother-in-law, who'd fallen and cracked some ribs. You can find the essay if you page down: how she went to the hospital, rehabbed, went home and lived happily ever after.
Until shortly before Halloween.
She was leaving the public library in her Pennsylvania hometown, walking back to her car, lugging her purse, a bag with three hard-bound books, and her cane, and she missed the curb.
So. Off–again–to Abington Hospital. Where they clapped her under an x-ray machine, and found she'd broken her hip.
Back in Brooklyn, we got a call at 11:30 p.m.: Ev was scheduled for hip surgery.
We drove to Abington the next day and found her on the Cardiac Unit, in traction.
She had, we discovered, hit the ER at 3:30 PM the day before. Why didn't she call us then, instead of having the staff notify us at nearly midnight?
"I figured I'd wait until I went home," she said. "Then I'd call you to tell you the good news–how I'd fallen, but everything was just fine."
Whereupon I dubbed her The Queen of Magical Thinking.
She was on the Cardiac Unit, a nurse told us, because her heart was skipping beats, and her blood pressure was sky-high. Ev's blood pressure has been sky-high as long as I've known her. A fearsome thing, high blood pressure, certain to shorten one's life if not controlled.
Ev was nearly 93.
The next day, the orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kwok (he spelled his name carefully for us) replaced the ball of her femur, a savage procedure that involves hacking and sawing and hammering. We paced the Family Waiting Room, fingers and toes crossed. Worried about that hip. That blood pressure. That anesthesia, which addles older brains for weeks, even months.
When they brought her back to her room, she was chatting up the transporters about her beloved Phillies, who were trailing the Giants 0-2 in the World Series.
The doctor stopped by to give her a pep talk about how arduous this recovery would be, how hard she'd have to work in Physical Therapy. About how she could do it, because she was in great physical shape, considering her age and injury and the heart attack—
Heart attack???
Yes, Virginia: Ev had had a heart attack. That, unbeknownst to us, was why she was on the Cardiac Unit. The doctors couldn't tell if it had precipitated the fall, or followed it. Before we'd arrived, they'd done an echocardiogram. The organ was somewhat miffed, but continued to chug like a steam engine.
Ev moved to a rehab facility on Halloween. She shared a room with a voluble, perpetually irate roommate. Ev's window looked out on construction. She was exhausted, constipated, and tube-riddled. It was not a banner day.
The next morning, she started physical therapy. And the Phillies lost the Series 4-1.
Paul's sister's daughter Beth had sped down from Kennebunkport when Ev was still in the hospital. She haunted the bedside, iPhone in hand, working to reach her parents, who were on a cruise in the Middle East. Once she succeeded, she pumped out updates on her grandmother's condition until they hit an airport and made it back to Maine long enough to snatch a night's sleep and repack their bags.
On Wednesday, November 3, Evie and Dick—still rolling with the now-nonexistent waves—arrived to relieve us in our cheerleader/advocate duties.
We returned home for a respite, and Evie called us with daily updates.
Her mother was working doggedly, but her spirits were sagging, her usually hearty sense of humor on the wane. She felt beaten down, overwhelmed.
November 9, Ev's 93rd birthday, was fast approaching, and we would not be there to celebrate.
Paul and I discussed in-absentia birthday gifts. We wanted to send her something more than a bouquet of roses. A ray of light in this tunnel of Hard Labor. A real surprise. A good laugh.
The best gift, of course, would be a visit from the Phillies. God knows they had time on their hands. Unfortunately, that was out of our price range.
And so, I turned to the Internet. And found the redoubtable Celie McVaugh.
Celie is a life-long resident of Ev's adopted town, Glenside, PA. Some years ago, she took a belly-dancing class. A friend invited her to try her hand—and, presumably, her hips—as a member of her Singing Telegram/Belly-gram service. Celie fell in love with the work and, 28 years ago, she opened her own business: Rentabody, Inc.
Rentabody offers an assortment of more than 50 costumed characters, from strippers ("always tasteful") to Spongebob. Celie commands a stable of game bodies to inhabit them—as many as 12, when the demand is high—but she still shows up herself to deliver balloons and sing congratulations to folks in Philadelphia and its suburbs. She might be dressed as a banana, or the Grim Reaper, or a gorilla–
A gorilla in a Phillies T-shirt.
How could I resist?
Noon, November 9:
The great, black, hairy beast stalked the lobby of the Rydal Park rehab center.
It punched the button. Slipped through the elevator doors.
Up. Up. Out.
Past gaping nurses.
Down the hall.
Relentless. Intense. Pursuing.
Into the room, past the crabby roommate—who, for once, fell speechless. It lurched around the curtain.
The little old lady was in bed, her lunch tray over her lap, flanked by her daughter and her daughter's husband.
Ev looked up.
The gorilla handed her a bouquet of balloons. It cleared its throat, unfurled a paper, and sang her a birthday song to the tune of Hello, Dolly.
And Ev, they tell me, laughed.

Bigrock Begins Making Snow
The cold temperatures are a bonus for a local ski area. Bigrock in Mars Hill has fired up the snow guns and it's all systems go as they look to open before Christmas.
"We call it a necessary evil around here having to make snow. If we want to be open by Christmas vacation week we need to make snow."
The cold weekend could be a real benefit for Big rock. Temperatures are expected to be below freezing all weekend and that means full steam ahead for snowmaking
"We have eight snow cannons that we run all the time Try to get as much snow made as possible as early as possible. Ideally we are down below 28 degrees a lot of it is humidity. Ideal snowmaking between ten above and ten below and the less wind the better because we can put snow where we want it."
The staff is currently making snow on two trails and that will expand as conditions warrant
"We are going to try and get as much a base down as possible. We will start in our beginner area and move over to Comet our race trail. We will try to open to the top as soon as possible."

Yeeeaahh, here is how this will go down. Pick a Liberty Division team, doesn't matter who ( Shaker, Columbia, Schenectady ). Have them knock each other off each week. Shaker will fall victim of reading their own preseasonpress clippings ( again ) and totally underperform. AGAIN!! I think the same could be said for Columbia. Too much preseason hype, and apart from Smith, eehhh not so much.
Anyways, one of those three will get the priviledge of facing and getting smoked by Shen in the AA Super Bowl. And it won't even be close…
I agree with Bill.
my AA teams order of finish
1. shaker
2. columbia
3 schenectady
4. cba
5 shen
6. toga
7. guilderland
I agree with bill as well.
Bill, By far most intelligent thing I've seen about this upcoming football season so far. People don't realize how good Shen is going to be… Which is going to be funny when they coast through the regular season. Looking forward to another Shen vs Columbia showdown
Bill is right. Paul is wrong
This is comical…La Salle is back…
Nothing like home field advantage in a Superbowl huh Shen fans. Although you can never write off an Al Rapp coached football team I still think they are down. Losing the free scholarship battle to CBA. It took Shaker what 20 plus years to even make the playoffs? They lack the experience and like Bill said, the hype for doing nothing probably won't help them. Shen lost a ton of players, have a new coach who so we will see how they shape up. I went with….. CBA. Very good coach back in the grove bring back a good team and they've won the free scholarship battle for private schools. Shen was a huge disappointment, got the bye then beat by a lesser team in the state tourney. They have turned down games against BH for 3 years in a row (afraid??). They'd rather beat up Albany High than play the area's best team. Columbia could be the dark horse, very wise choice taking on BH the game before the playoffs basically an extra playoff game if they are in and it will prepare them for a very stiff test. I like their coach and where they are headed so don't count out the Blue Devils. Has the Shen coach changed their offense or is the same stuff from the 60's Stuerwald ran?
@ The Chump,
Ahhh, I see the ignoramus is back. Your ignorance and just plain wrong facts ate simply staggering.
1. " Shen was a huge dissapointment". Really?!? Which part, the team that absolutely annilated every tram in Section 2 , including the CBA paper tiger (42-0), LaSalle (45-20) and Columbia (49-6)
The team with hands down the best defense around, posting 5 shutouts and whose starters let up only 14 points in 10 games? Yeah, big disappointment. The team that spent most of the season ay #3 in the state? Major disappointment. The team that sliced teams apart on the ground and in the air? Please.
2. Shen did not receive a bye in the state tournament, Einstein. The played a rugged North Rockland team in the qtr. Finals and won 13-10 in double OT, before losing to a very good Newburgh team in the State Semis.
There were NO offers given by Burnt Hills or turned down by Shen about playing. Now you ate just flat out making stuff up. Had a game occurred, B.H. would have lost by 4 TD's easy. You guys just got past Shaker by what, 4 pts? Shen beat Shaker 34-0 and 35-7.
As the Geico caveman famously said: "Next time, do a little research…"
To the Champ,
What Bill said. The 2011 Shen squad was one of the best…period. Disappointment? Poor choice of words. That squad was fantastic. I think the Section 2 AA football committee makes up the AA schedule, it is not the actual coaches cherry picking their schedules. I don't believe Shen would rather play Albany (and put 50pts on them)than play Burnt Hills. Albany is in the Empire Division along with Shen. They have to play each other.
Champ, don't kid yourself. B. Hills is a big fish in a small Class A pond. They are a GREAT team…for their class. Barely beating so-so AA schools Schenectady (by 7 ) and Shaker (by 4) hardly means B. Hills runs wild in AA. Shen would have roughed them up pretty good. Most objective observers would agree with that.
And where are you getting this info that Shen was asked three years in a row by B. Hills to play and they turned the game down? I too believe you are just making this stuff up now. That is just plain false.
Champ, you should get the facts straight before you blog. You come sounding pretty foolish.
Thanks Bill. You saved me having to write that.
Oh excuse me on the bye week. Still couldn't make it out of Dietz alive and make it to the Dome. Sliced teams apart in the air haha now that is laughable. As laughable as your spelling… Of course there have been offers, the gate would be huge! BH beat Shaker by 7 on the road and haven't lost to a AA team yet. The only score that matters in the end is having 1 more than your opponent at the end of the game. Shen had a great year in Steurwalds exit season but they have lost a lot of players, so it is to been seen if the new guys step in and can produce as they did last season and they also have a new coach taking over for an area legend.
This Friday can't come soon enough. Let the players do the talking on the field.
Cant wait for Friday. Liberty Division is anyones guess, a lot of parity, with the right bounces any of the six teams could get there. Last year they feasted on the Empire Division opponents but couldn't get close to Schen. Schen's program is too good right now and has so many kids to choose from, they are obviously the top dog again. It will be interesting to see if the other Empire teams step it up this year. I'd like to see Albany win a game.
the champ is a moron and makes 0 sense.
The Champ, My son graduated this past year from CBA and played football, I can assure you that the top football players that he played with were NOT on scholarship. I repeat NOT ON SCHOLARSHIP. They paid their tuition just like we did. They definitely lost some great players at graduation and I can't wait to see what the kids will bring to the field this year.
shakers got the shaker 4….. just sayin
and besides they just switched their offense to a double spread set they might just go to work with chris5landers and valentino, thunder dan, drescher, and the wizard all coming back this year at the ZB position.
Well hello, Shaker Uncle, welcome to the party. This post spares me from having to beat up on the Chump again. Uncle, uncle…the Shaker four, really?!? We all saw what happened last season to the four, did we not? Got caught up in their own preseason hype and did not deliver. Came in on Week 3 to Shen and got thumped 34-0 and limped into the playoffs as the #4 seed and got sent home by Shen again, 35-7. I don't doubt that the Liberty Division contests between Shaker, Columbia and Schenectady will be entertaing. Shaker's real test will be Week 5 when the Plainsmen come to town.
At the end of the day, if Shaker is to gain ANY sort of respectability, they need to start winning games that matter against quality opponents.
@shaker uncle – I believe Valentino graduated. You also had the Shaker 4 last year and we all all saw the results…..just sayin'
@the Champ? – That's the beauty of the internet, you can say anything, no matter how blatenly false it is, eh?
You still haven't addressed Bill Lundbergh or Jimmy K on the game "offer" between B. Hills and Shen. It is all vagery and conjecture at best, and more likely, you are clearly lying. I'm sure you have facts to back up this ridiculous claim, right?
C.B.A. winning the "free scholarship battle". Again, where do you get your info? I totally believe C.B.A. mom, who no doubt has the cancelled checks for tuition payments each month for her son to attend C.B.A. and play football.
Shen's passing game last season "laughable"? Unlike yourself,did some research. Teddy Van Galen had 1,350 yds. passing, 15 TD's 2 Ints and a 65% completion percentage. He also had 3 games with 3 TD passes. Sounds pretty good to me!
See, you are what they call a "homer". You tout your almighty B. Hills to the point of ridiculousness. Take off your maroon colored glasses, try being just a tad bit objective and stop making stuff up.
Davey Boy out…
I'll agree Jimmy K, poor choice of words. They were very good and I didn't mean to discredit the team in anyway they had a great year. Nothing like ruffling a few Shen fans feathers before the season. Chump you may have written it more eloquently than wild Bill. And last year Shen would have probably beaten BH, they were young but it wouldn't have been a romp and this season BH could probably take Shen changes year to year. But we won't know until they cross over play the game and have one of the biggest crowds ever to attend a game. Good luck to all the teams this season should be a good one in the AA's. And no offense Cbamom, just a little private school dig from the public sector.
Shen will run through every opponent on their regular season schedule. Playoffs are a different season. Liberty is strong this year and will be a dog fight throughout. To say Burnt Hills "could probably take Shen" is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Burnt Hills, although very good and perhaps the best in Class A, wouldn't sniff the endzone against Shen. I think they are going to have a tough game against Columbia in the last week of the season. Columbia is the dark horse, look for big things from them this year. Out.
@DaveyBoy On the game offer I have a bit of inside info thrown my way every now and then. And you know they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true..I'm Jacque a French Model..Bonjour. Ask Maginn and CBA how they win all those basketball games? Isn't with Albany, Sch'dy and Troy kids "paying tuition". But that is for another season. Of course I'm a homer, so are all fans. I drink the Shen haterade by the barrel. If you could please send me a link of the 2011 Passing leaders I'd appreciate it. Finding stats from last year is like pulling teeth and very time consuming. TU doesn't seem to archive these stats (correct me if I'm wrong Big Game). Not bad #'s from Teddy V better than I expected he was a good player. And I'm not making anything up just sharing what I've been told by people in the know. Last year was Shen's 1st Superbowl win since 2003, they got crushed by Troy the year before and they have 11th SB wins in history. BH has 5 in the last 6 years, 4 in a row. They are catching up quickly.
How good will Shenendehowa be this year? Who do they have?
Sure burnt hills has dominated class A the last couple of years… Good for them they are a great team. But to say they are catching up to Shenendehowa is idiotic… I would like to see Shen compete in classA and see how they do in the section. To compare Burnt hills to Shen is impossible. Two complete different teams from different classes. With different opponents with complete different skill levels
I don't understand why you believe that Shen is so much better than the A schools.
I do believe Troy is an A school now, and was an A school in 2009 and when they went to AA in 2010 they didn't seem to have a problem running through the Section with ease. If I do recall it was 38-0 vs. Shen in the SB and I don't think Shen crossed the 50 yd line all game.
@Green wuss-chine
Yes troy proved themselves when they came to AA. The game vs shen (38-0)is when shen had Bronson Greene try to play with a torn MCL from Bspa the week before and Tony Fusco (Junior) who did not play due to busted ankle. Shen had no running backs and had a Junior QB who didnt throw at all during the season….. Also that year shen was not a strong team and managed to claw its way into the superbowl. Just because troy ran through AA doesn't mean Amsterdam B. Hills or Queensbury can. Troy's roster in 2010 was by far one of the best in history. A man named Canzeri could have walked and still scored.
@green wuss chine
you try playing one of the best teams the sections ever seen with a jr 4th string running back and a coaching staff that refused to pass the ball. with shens new coaching staff and a balanced offensive attack rather then just handing the ball off to the most athletic kid on the team everyplay and hoping for the best they are a whole nother animal. you got a glimpse of it last year, get ready for more
@ connor that shen team wasnt too bad i remember them being predicted to go undefeated, they were a very scrappy hard hitting team with bronson greene, one of the baddest players section 2 has ever seen, the man was 6 feet 200 plus pds and he played free safety… not to mention broke the rushing record at shen at running back. if anything it just goes to show how great troy really was that year to trample a team of above average quality like that.
canzeri was playing in fast foward
Connor those sound like a lot of excuses to me and Canzeri was only 1 kid on that team.
Top Class A teams could compete with all of the Top AA teams. Period!
A Connor
No one is saying that Amsterdam, Queensbury, or BH-BL would run through the double a's. All that is being said is they would compete, and they would compete at the upper half of the double A's. If shen played amsterdam or bh-bl last year shen deffinetly would have won. But let me tell you this. It would have been their best competition within the section. lets get some more a aa cross overs. Not the upper end a teams playing the lower end a teams in crossover, or for that matter a teams playing b teams. There were three non conference games this year, and amsterdam wanted a big ten revival. CBA, Lasalle, and even shen. We would much rather loss to the best then beat the bottom of the barrel.
how does everyone feel about private schools pulling talent from other high schools? Or, kids that live in one town but play for another school?
I know a team that beat Troy with Canzeri in the 09 Superbowl.. And they also had another outstanding back that year with Shatiek Lewis, tremendous defense and offensive line. Just saying…
what postion on defense is most important for shen to fill in from last years team?
and on offense as well
Defensively, the Plainsmen are solid throughout. Chris Stewart and Alan Gaines lead the line, Chris Miller and Lucas Buckley top the linebackers and the secondary features Corey Acker, D.J. Edick, Kyle Buss and sometimes Ryan Buss (who is now the starting quarterback). I wouldn't say there is a weakness, but I am wondering much more of a pass rush the team will generate if needed.
Offensively, I would have to say the line. There is talent there, but only a couple of guys have started games at the varsity level.
Well it seems to me that now there has been 3 weeks of games this year's Shen team is holding their own. Just in case no one realizes this particular group of Seniors has remained undefeated in the regular and post season's in Section 2 since their Freshman year. The only game they have lost was in the State Semi-finals. And each year the offense put up very big numbers while the defense held every opponent to almost no points. I believe that is quite impressive. Shen has such depth both offensively and defensively I believe they will have a great season again this year.

"Old-school" hip hop, as it was dubbed after the fact (the term hip hop was coined in 1974), was a competitive yet light-hearted New York fad which, by the time Jennifer Beals mashed up breakdancing with ballet in Flashdance (1983), looked like it was on its way out. That same year, however, Run-D.M.C.'s "It's Like That"/"Sucker MCs" cassette inaugurated hip hop's confrontational, socio-politically engaged "new-school" era. Too often neglected in this standard history is West Philly rapper SCHOOLLY D (Jesse B. Weaver Jr., born 1966), whose moniker suggests that he was neither old- nor new-school; instead, he was (in those days, anyway) fiercely independent, to the point of launching his own label in '84. Long before Paul Beatty's character DJ Darky announced that "Blackness is passé" — and unlike West Coast rappers, whom Spike Lee has accused of minstrelsy — Schoolly D lampooned urban black fake authenticity even as he inadvertantly pioneered gangsta rap. (His '85 song "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" was a critical influence on LA's Ice T.) Nowhere are Schooly D's nobrow proclivities more in evidence than on the self-mocking, cowbell-driven title track of Saturday Night (1987): "We got into my room, bitch started to scream./Momma busted in — what a fucked-up scene./Shirt ripped off, drawers down to my knees:/'Wait, Momma! Wait, Momma! Wait, wait, please! Put back your gun, put down your broom.'/My mom fucked up the room." Now, that's gangsta.

They also claim that the SecuROM software cannot truly be uninstalled, a partially true claim, and that EA doesn't notify you during the install of Spore that this is going on. Of course, SecuROM is nothing new, and various iterations of the software have made appearances in many games.
Some of the other claims, such as SecuROM interfering with other functions of the system, seem to go out on a limb. Perhaps the person is trying more to make a point and demonstrate to EA that their customers are unhappy. The fact that Spore is one of the most heavily pirated games ever probably clued them in to that, however. Either way, this case will be interesting to watch.

As of Friday, March 1, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
NORCROSS -- This year, there are no surprises.
Bailey Tardy showed up on the girls golf team at Greater Atlanta Christian a year ago relatively unknown. She had played some summer golf and in the small world her name was rising, but by the end of the high school season, she stood alone. A state champion in Class AA and leader of a championship-winning team.
"I don't think anyone knew (I had the ability to win)," Tardy said of her surprise freshman state title.
They certainly know now -- and that changes things for Tardy as she enters a second season of high school golf.
"I think it will be more pressure," Tardy said, noting she already hears from classmates about repeating as state champ. "No one knows how close we won state last year. I didn't win individual that easily."
Well, she won by two strokes over Vidalia's Katie Dalton. But Dalton and Vidalia host this year's state tournament, a long way down the road, but a small concern for Tardy as she prepares for her second season.
"They are like our rivals," she said.
But the summer wasn't a congratulatory tour for Tardy, who played in tournaments across the country, including making the cut in the Girls Junior Amateur. She lost her first round of match-play. But Tardy won a pair of American Junior tournaments, one at Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club and another at another at River Landing in North Carolina.
Away from travel and tournaments, Tardy worked on her short game and course management. No more will she rely on tight saves when she can punch out.
"I found my problems on the golf course and if I was in trouble," she said. "I learned to get out of trouble better."
She also learned the better she got, the tougher and longer the courses became. Tardy doesn't remember the names of every course she plays, but she noticed she wasn't approaching greens with the same type of club and was stuck chipping more than she was accustomed.
"My chipping around the greens has been awful. It's been a problem, but it hasn't been that bad until recently because I've been playing longer courses and I've needed to chip more," Tardy said. "You have to have a lot of confidence. I think it's more feel than anything. You have to feel the shot and you have to know how you want to land it and how much spin you want to put on it. It's fundamentals, but it's a lot of feel, too."
Now, after a winter of practice, Tardy is excited for her high school season. The Georgia commit likes playing different course and practicing with different circumstances and troubles on the course.
"I am really excited," she said. "It's all new. I am not a freshman anymore."

St George's Day: Nottingham to get the flags out for day of pride and celebration
Posted: April 23, 2014|
KNIGHTS on horseback will ride through the city centre today as Nottingham celebrates St George's Day.
A parade will set out from The Forest recreation ground and performers in medieval-style garb will make their way to the Old Market Square.
Meanwhile, the bells will chime in celebration of the day at more than 25 Notts churches.
The parade, which will arrive in the square from 12.30pm, will feature marching bands and St George himself riding through the streets.
Related content
There will also be morris dancing and traditional English folk songs performed throughout the afternoon.
The parade had been organised by the Radford branch of the Royal Society of St George, whose members have helped organise parades in the city centre for several years.
Phil Harwood, secretary of the branch, is urging people to line the streets along the route and help make the day a real cause for celebration.
He said: "We wanted to do something for the city, for the people of Nottingham and for the East Midlands.
"It's great seeing everyone on the day coming together and having a great time. Seeing the parade and seeing all the people around you enjoying themselves is fantastic."
Throughout Notts, church bells will toll to mark St George's Day, which is the traditionally accepted date of the patron saint's death in AD303.
Churches in Barton-in-Fabis, Bingham, Bulwell, Bunny, Clarborough, Clifton, East Leake, Farnsfield, Granby, Gedling, Greasley, Holme Pierrepont, Keyworth, North Collingham, Papplewick, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Thurgaton, Thrumptom, Watton, Wollaton, Woodborough and Winthorpe are taking part.
Peter Haywood, of St Mary's, in Clifton, said that St George should be honoured with the same reverence as St Patrick or St David. He said: "I think it's important. We don't do enough for our patron saint.
"I think we ought to have a bank holiday and street parties, make it a social get-together where we meet our neighbours."
St George's Day has been steadily growing in popularity over the past few years. A survey in 2013 found that nearly three-quarters of British people wanted St George's Day to become a national bank holiday.
On Saturday, around 1,000 Scouts paraded through Nottingham city centre in their own annual tribute ahead of today's events.
7th Nottingham Cub Scout leader Elaine Eley said: "It went very well and everyone got into the spirit of it. We should all celebrate this day. It's an important part of our heritage."It was one of several events happening across the county to mark the occasion. Church bells rang out at over 20 churches throughout the county. The Willowbrook pub in Gedling, which also opened today, served a host of St George's day treats with a host of English treats and delicacies. General manager Pete Hopwell said: "We did our best to get St George's flag cocktail sticks but couldn't find any sadly."I think we should celebrate it more, we ought to be more patriotic." However, the city centre parade was by far the most prominent. Supporters of all ages from toddlers to the elderly came out to show their colours.Although lively chanting echoed through the streets, the spirit was jovial and friendly throughout. Builder Stewart Dabell, 55, of Gotham took the day off especially so he could join the parade.He said: "I just wanted to come and see what's happening. "It's been great, I love all of it, the atmosphere is fantastic."Bartender Pam Staples, 40, of Southwold Drive, Radford brought her two English bulldogs, Maddie and George, dressed up in St George crosses.She said: "We come here every year, I've been going for the past eight years. "We're all English, and I think we ought to celebrate. They have a great time too."Floor layer Tony Trendowicz, 51, from Bridgford said people should no longer be ashamed to embrace their English heritage.He said: "I'm half Polish and my dad fought in the Battle of Britain."We wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for people like him. It takes a lot of people to make this country great and everyone should be included."I'm proud to be English."

Smoking Popes
This Is Only a Test
Asian Man
Josh Caterer, the lead singer and songwriter of Smoking Popes, is hardly the first musician to unify an album around a teenager's personal travails. The gold standard here is the Who's "Quadrophenia," which captured the melodramatic heart of adolescence but didn't idealize it.
Although "This Is Only a Test" doesn't try to match "Quadrophenia," it does convey the same realization that there's no such thing, for the young, as the folly of youth. And Caterer's voice, perhaps the most tunefully expressive in the entire pop-punk sub-genre, brings across the way small things grow gigantic under the influence of hormones.
"Test" also shows how the Popes, who reunited in 2005, have taken their melodic and stylistic savvy further than they did the first time around. "College" and "I've Got Mono" are just two of the tracks that expand the group's reach while tightening its focus. Teenage existence is chaos and confusion; "Test" is a beautiful distillation of its rare clear moments. - Jon M. Gilbertson
