Many of the gaming toys we showcase here on Side Mission are action figures… which is to say they err on the manly side of things (or as much as toys for grown men can).
But we're secure enough in our masculinity to highlight the occasional less-manly gaming toy or collectible, so long as it's completely adorable.
Enter these Hello Kitty X Street Fighter plushies, which were on display (and for sale) at the recently-concluded Comic-Con 2012.
A Capcom rep told Joystiq at the conference that the company was sending the toys (dolls) to, "as many stores as we can get them into." Some retailer-specifics included Hot Topic and Toys R Us.
If you're into this whole Hello Kitty-meets-Street Fighter cultural mash-up, the news gets even better, as these plushies apparently represent "Series-1" in a larger line of planned collectibles.

We were just talking about a new dance club that will be known for its soundsystem opening in Williamsburg (and the "new Brooklyn electronic underground"), but let's take a second to acknowledge a NYC club with similar specs that has been going strong for a decade. Cielo (18 Little West 12th Street) is celebrating its 10th anniversary in existence with events all month. They also were just named "Best Sound System in North America" by Beatport.
With two down and eight celebratory nights still to go, the party continues tonight (1/18) with Wolf + Lamb vs Soul Clap which is sold out; and moves on to tomorrow (1/19) with Tania Vulcano, Willie Graff, and + Filsonik before finally polishing off the weekend with Horse Meat Disco on Sunday (1/20). Another weekend of events follows, leading up to the finale with Todd Terje & Danny Krivit on 1/31. Tickets to all those shows (apart from tonight's) are still available.
Congrats to Cielo! Full listing of 10th Anniversary events are below.

Ralf Hutter of Kraftwerk & Francois K @ PS1
Being that Kraftwerk began their 8-night, 8-album run of performances at MoMA back on April 10, and today is only the 16th, as of this writing there are still two chances to see them perform a full album in 3-D at the modern art museum. However, your chance to participate in "Kraftwerk Fest" at MoMA's PS1 has come and gone and featured two special Kraftwerk sets by DJs Juan Atkins (Saturday) and Francois K (Sunday).
Sunday, which we have pictures from in this post, was made even more special with a guest appearance by uncle Ralf Hutter who stopped by before performing Techno Pop" with his band at MoMA later in the night. Tonight he and his band will do "The Mix", and they finish it off Tuesday with "Tour de France."
The "fest", part of a month-long installation at PS1 (that runs until May 12), was was three hours long each day, with the DJs playing Kraftwerk remixes to a packed crowd. Francois K performs again TONIGHT (4/16) at Cielo with Four Tet (who is also DJing). Check out more pictures from Sunday at PS1, shots of 5Ptz across the street included, below...

Matthew Herbert @ Studio B - February 7, 2009
Last week in dance wound up being a lot of fun. Friday night I went to see Little Boots at Studio B. I arrived sometime around midnight and was shocked at how packed the floor was by the time she went on around 1:15. Despite her set being good, especially her cover of Giorgio Moroder's "Love Kills", and including everything I expected after seeing her at CMJ, overall I wasn't as engaged by her performance this time around. It was just me though. Everyone in the place was bugging out and there really wasn't any good reason not to. As brief as her set was, the late start (she was originally scheduled to perform at 12) derailed the entire rest of the night and I ended up missing both One Man Party and Danger at Webster Hall. A friend there texted me highlights of One Man Party's set which read like a more intensely awesome mix of the Soulwax/2ManyDJ's remixes and current electro that he played at Webster last month. As great as it sounded, the regret really hit when I watched the following video of the beginning of Danger's set which started with "Ave Maria" and went into a great live version of "9h20":

M83 @ Webster Hall - Nov. 14, 2008 (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)
Last Friday I had a frustrating, puzzling experience at the M83 show at Webster Hall. M83 is easily one of my favorite bands and I'd enjoyed many of their shows prior to last week's including the one they played just a few months ago at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Despite playing a similar set Friday night, I just wasn't having my typically awesome M83 experience. For some reason, I had no patience for their more mellow and slow songs and when they finally would play something more upbeat or poppy (like Don't Save Us From the Flames or Graveyard Girl) it didn't pack as much of a punch as I wanted. The encore of Couleurs was amazing, but overall something just seemed to be missing. That said, one of my friends loved it, the another (who had never seen M83 before and was only slightly familiar with their music) shared thoughts similar to mine. I also watched some videos of the show THE following morning and got goosebumps, so who knows...Check out one of M83 performing Teen Angst below (more here):

There's a lot happening this weekend, especially at Love. Tonight (May 23) the Captain and Mathhead are back for the Take Over. You can always rely on Trouble & Bass to bring their bass-heavy sound to the floor. This special edition of the Takeover features three other crews of monthly Love residents (Sub Swara, Secret Night of Science, and Dub War) each bringing their own influences to the bass that they have in common.
Dub War was featured in an article about dubstep in the New York Times a few months ago. If you're new to dubstep, Dub War has a podcast you can check out too (@ iTunes).

About 11 years ago, James K. "Jamie" Galbraith recalls, hundreds of his fellow economists laughed at him. To his face. In the White House.
It was April 2000, and Galbraith had been invited by President Bill Clinton to speak on a panel about the budget surplus. Galbraith was a logical choice. A public policy professor at the University of Texas and former head economist for the Joint Economic Committee, he wrote frequently for the press and testified before Congress.

I took a dumplings and wontons class with Diana Kaun from Appetite for China a couple of weeks ago. She told us she was putting together a Kung Pao Chicken Kit for a new service called GrubKit. Basically, you order a kit that consists of pre-measured non-perishable ingredients in just the right amounts, and a simple recipe. All you need to do is shop for a few fresh ingredients and whip up the meal in your kitchen. GrubKit basically meets you halfway–you're still cooking your own food but they do some of the prep work. It sounded similar to a company that I've always wanted to try out from my hometown called Secret Ingredient, so I ordered Diana's Kung Pao Chicken GrubKit.
My GrubKit arrived within a day or two in nice packaging.
As promised, all non-perishable ingredients were provided, measured-out and individually packaged.
The recipe is printed on a card along with cooking tips and your shopping list (in this case, just chicken, scallions, garlic, and ginger).
OK, confession. I've never actually had Kung Pao Chicken, ever. I really only know Cantonese cuisine and when I moved to the Sates, I kind of just assumed Kung Pao Chicken was some Chinese American take-out dish, like General Tso's. But turns out this is indeed a classic dish in Sichuan cuisine. I may have nothing to compare my results with, but my guests and I found it to be delicious!
I enjoyed my GrubKit experience and am definitely open to trying it again. I think it's a fantastic idea but definitely a little pricier than buying ingredients in bulk (duh). I paid a little over $20 including shipping, but still had to shop for fresh ingredients. Therefore, I think GrubKit is best in these two situations:
- If you don't cook from scratch often, and hence really appreciate GrubKit's prep work so you can save time and effort (not going to lie, it was pretty awesome not having to measure things out).
- If there's a recipe you want to make and you can't imagine using the ingredients often or don't know where to find them. I happen to make Chinese food now and then so it probably would have been cheaper for me to make Kung Pao Chicken on my own, but for someone who wants to make it once but doesn't want to buy bottles of peanut oil, hoisin sauce, etc that they will never use again, GrubKit really comes in handy.
Quick Notes
- $3.95 flat shipping rate in the US, free shipping on 3 or more kits
- Eco-friendly packaging
- Ingredients are hand-selected with a focus on healthy and organic choices
- It's a small husband and wife operation in Brooklyn, NY. The wife is a food blogger.

Obama's Guantánamo, counterterror policies similar to Bush's?
Posted By admin On October 18, 2009 @ 5:41 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,War on Terror | Comments Disabled
Warren Richey
The Christian Science Monitor
October 18, 2009
[efoods]The debate over America's counterterrorism policies is sounding a lot like the debate over the Bush administration's aggressive "war on terror."
Nine months into the Obama administration, the same human rights and civil liberties officials who were sharply critical of President Bush are leveling similar criticisms about the new administration.
Although the rhetoric from the White House is toned down, harsh interrogations have stopped, and secret CIA prisons are shuttered, critics complain that emerging Obama antiterror policies seem more Bush-like than Obama-like.
The administration has embraced Mr. Bush's law of war philosophy justifying the potential indefinite detention of terror suspects deemed by President Obama to be too difficult to put on trial, but also too dangerous to release.
Administration officials are hinting that Obama may fail to fulfill his pledge to close the Guantánamo prison camp by January. A new version of the controversial military commission process is expected to emerge soon from Congress. And construction continues for a new, expanded terror prison camp at the Bagram air base in Afghanistan.

From STAFF REPORTS
A leading supplier of interior and exterior auto parts will add 120 jobs and invest $26 million in Carrollton.
Gov. Nathan Deal announced Friday that Decostar Industries, a manufacturing division of the automotive parts supplier Magna Exteriors and Interiors, will expand its facility in Carrollton.
"Georgia's dynamic business infrastructure continues to cultivate a growth environment that attracts and retains world leaders such as Decostar," said Deal. "Our skilled workforce, international logistics network and resources for innovation ensure the state's competitive position as a stronghold for manufacturing, and will help in our efforts to make Georgia the No. 1 place in the nation to do business."
Decostar Industries has secured new business to produce interior and exterior auto parts. To accommodate this growth, a new 64,000-square-foot facility is under construction adjacent to the existing operation in Carrollton. Decostar currently employs more than 500 workers at its Carrollton location, and will begin hiring for the new positions in the spring of 2013. Georgia Quick Start, the top-ranked workforce training program in the United States, will assist the company with a customized training program for its new workforce.
"On this project we have been fortunate to collaborate with many talented and committed people and organizations who understand our business and can help achieve common goals," said Bob Brownlee, president of Magna Exteriors and Interiors. "We are pleased to be able to bring additional jobs and investment to the Carrollton area, and we look forward to continued success in the service of our customers."
Partners in the project included the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Carroll Tomorrow, the Carrollton Payroll Development Authority, the City of Carrollton and Georgia Power. E. Jane Caraway was the project manager for the state of Georgia.
Georgia has been a leader in the automotive industry for more than 100 years. The state's strategic location in the center of the Southeast and its prominence as a logistics and transportation hub have contributed to its current cluster of more than 300 auto and vehicle-related companies, employing more than 20,000 people. Global companies such as Kia, Porsche, Toyota, Honda and Lotus are represented in the state.
"Not only is this expansion a great addition to Georgia's automotive sector, but Decostar's expansion is a great example of how foreign direct investment benefits the state and why it's a strategic focus for us," said Chris Cummiskey, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development. "FDI projects tend to pay higher-than-average wages, create high-quality jobs and invest for the long haul."

export completed tasks
Is there anyway to export the completed tasks? I know they are stored but I can't find them. I check the backups but it seems like they were not in there. It would be great if I can make a manual back up of all the tasks that I have completed.
Hao Chen
All responses
Hi Hao,
At the moment there is no way to export completed tasks. It is very likely this will be added in the future.
You can vote on it in the Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote/showProposal/11/
Not being able to export completed tasks is one reason that I'm not renewing my Premium account & why I've returned to Omnifocus (upgrading to the beautiful, highly functional version 2) for my task manager.
Has this been implemented or has someone figured a way to export completed tasks? I need this to make templates each semester as I am a college teacher with repetitive weekly tasks.
This would be a great feature. Currently when I'm updating my progress in meetings at work, I have to copy and paste all the completed items into a word document. It would be great to be able to export completed tasks of a project to a text file.
Replying to indicate I, too, would love this option!

Our only problems would be the kids.
I have a 6 year old son. Initially my SO had issues with the way my son behaved. I agreed to an extent that my son was a little out of control. I believe a lot of it, just dealing with having a new man around the house, etc. I feel that I have worked with my son and he has greatly improved. Him and my SO do have a good relationship. My only complaint with my SO and my son would be that I think my SO forgets sometimes that my son is only 6 years old. So when he is throwing a tantrum, etc. he has to remember that he is 6. But for the most part, things are harmonious.
Now my ex was married for 16 years (been divorced 4) and has 4 kids- 19,18,15,12. His oldest is in college out of state. No real issues there. I dont really know her that well and my only "complaint" is before she left the state, she would only call her dad for money. Annoying yes, but typical. The 18 yr,is his son and lives with him. He is a typical teenage boy. He has a lot of freedom to do stuff, but he is a good kid for the most part. Always polite to me, helps around the house. He is pretty self suffcient. He is a Sr in HS and has signed up for the Marines after graduation.
My main issue is with my SO's 2 youngest kids who live with their mom.
The 15 yr old helps around the house, is polite and sweet and we great along great but she is headed down the wrong path. Since I have been with my SO, she has been caught for shoplifting, sneaking out, stealing her mom's car, caught sneaking off with boys, 2 times. My problem is that my SO doesnt really address this as an issue. I do want to say that he grew up in a VERY hard life. He was doing things and seeing things a teenager, that is not normal. So I think he is a little jaded towards what is normal and what is not. However, I feel that he doesnt really address the issues. He has said "Well we have talked to her and she still does stuff. We have taken things away, doesn't matter. She is going to do what she wants."
The 12 yr old, is just a spoiled brat. That is the nice way to put it. She wants what she wants and when she wants it. She has no problem complaining about stuff we give her. She has no problem having an attitude when she doesnt get her way.
I feel that my SO spoils these kids and babies them way too much. I feel very resentful towards the behavior and I am getting to the point where I don't even want to be around them. I hate the fact that he does not set boundaries.
Moving forward, I cant imagine living my every day life like this. It's constant choas. If they dont like what their mom has told them to do, they call their dad and whine and complain. If they don't want to come to their dad's on their scheduled weekend, they dont come, but if the following weekend they want to come, he allows them, even if it messes with our set plans.
I need peace and harmony in my day to day life. I can understand typical teenager behavior, etc. But I think because at times it is 4 kids and all of their wants, etc. it becomes overwhelming for me.
Cont'd below.View Thread
Now my DS goes to his dad's every other weekend, and it's the same schedule for my SO's kids, so we have every other weekend, free for just us. It's really nice. Gives us time to reconnect.
I love double dating. I am a very social person anyways, so I like to be around people.
I think going bowling, playing pool, board games, etc are fun couple activites.View Thread
Even when I lived with my ex I made him take me on dates.
There is something different about calling it "a date". For me anyways. There is more planning involved. More anticipation.
I bet if you told your wife- I am taking you on date tonight- she would get excited.
My SO and I are going on a date tonight- Apps and drinks and we have been texting each other all day with lovey texts, etc.
To me, dating is something planned and something to get excited about. It's what keeps the excitement alive!!!!!!View Thread
I am 30 and my SO is about to turn 39. He calls me "His Lady". I say he is my boyfriend. Ha ha.View Thread
You can directly post a pic to a post, but I think it's more of a copy and paste of a web address. Like a picture from FB, you would just use that link. If that makes sense.

Except my tooth abscess was horrible. I was a teenager and I still remember that pain being worse then child birth.
However, I did have a easy and short labor. So that may be part of my reasoning as saying it didnt hurt as much as the abscess. But when the contractions were coming (I didnt have any pain meds) and before I was pushing (didnt hurt so bad then) I seriously sounded like a moaning cow. LOL.View Thread
And I would accuse my EX of cheating all the time, because he was! LOL!View Thread

If you've travelled in Asia, the sight of flower garlands is probably familiar to you – like the ones you see in the picture taken in Kolkata (India). Often colorful, sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger you come across them not only in India, Sri Lanka or Nepal, but also in South East Asian countries like Burma.
Depending on where you are, they are called Malas or Malai, and traditionally show a high level of respect for another being or deity. You see them in temples, in front of Buddhist and Hinduism statues or hanging in front of animist sprit/ghost houses and sacred trees. As good-luck symbols they can not be missed at weddings and it's no wonder that you spot them almost everywhere in daily life: hanging in shops, restaurants, houses or – daily freshly bought – dangling from the rearview mirror in busses, cars or tuk-tuks.
Interestingly enough, spiritual garlands are an integral part of various religious traditions not only in Hinduism and Buddhism. While some are made of flowers, others of precious stones or wooden beads, the concept is always similar. Click to learn more about prayer beads.

The reason I'm writing about my funeral is because a friend of mine out of the blue recently said to me "If you die any time soon, can I have your clutch bag collection?"

Superman Vol. 1: What Price Tomorrow? (edition 2012)
by George Perez
Work details
Superman Volume 1: What Price Tomorrow? by George Pérez
No current Talk conversations about this book.
not too bad
This wasn't as bad as I expected from the general trend of reviews on Goodreads. I don't think I'm really a fan of DC's stuff in general, though. I mean, I remember Superman in bright colours, as wholesome as Marvel's Captain America, but here it's all dark and broody. Maybe part of the problem is that I never read the comics before, but was a devotee of the tv series. No, not Smallville -- Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman!
Anyway, this was... okay. I liked the redesign of Superman's costume which keeps the important aspects of his iconic image and tweaks things we could do without (the underwear on the outside of his costume thing). I didn't feel strongly about the art either way, though I did feel that the criticisms of the number of panels and cluttered pages are pretty valid.
The story is okay, but like I said, there's a lot of dark and broody here, which I thought was more Batman's line. There's some stuff intended to make it relevant and modern, like the Daily Planet's way of dealing with the move to digital media, but all in all, I don't know how that works. In my head, the Daily Planet smells of paper and ink, and Metropolis never really joins the digital age.
So the only New 52 titles I've really been interested in following are Batgirl and Batwoman. Hmm.

Emma Roberts and Chord Overstreet: Finding Love in Notting Hill?
Chord Overstreet has been spotted out-and-about with some lovely girls in recent times, but could this be THE one? The former (but possibly not!) Glee star was seen with The Art of Getting By actress Emma Roberts, shopping and sightseeing in London's Notting Hill Gate section.
This isn't the first time Chord and Emma have been spotted out: rumors have been flying around since April, when the two were spotted making out at this year's Coachella music festival. Looks like they're taking their relationship to the next level!
Chord, who just wrapped up the Glee Live! In Concert tour in Dublin, Ireland, made his way to London to spend time with Emma.
Fun fact: Notting Hill, where Chord and Emma were spotted hanging out, was also the place where Emma's aunt Julia found love in the movie of the same name with romance king Hugh Grant. (Maybe that street has that effect and will prove true its rep?!)
Do you think Chord and Emma make a cute couple? Do you think they're dating or just friends?

I have purchase several cases from Muscian Friends never had any problems with either one, but I needed something smaller and easier to curry. So far it's working great, as long as, you don't put to much stuff inside the case it will work, treat it right and it will treat you back. Nice case and you can put the bell with the stick on top of the case, I use the wrench so that the stick doesn't roll off the case.

You mean to tell me that Facebook is for more things than just tagging photos?
Social Media has grown so much in its short life time and really become a tool to brand oneself or a company and reach out to a larger audience. I think my generation and generations before me are really recognizing this today and isn't surprised when were told that Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr are all useful tools in todays business world.
My Facebook feed has changed from just looking through my friends photos to now reading articles and liking companies pages and getting involved with people all across the nation. Twitter and Pinterest serve a similar purpose as well, and I am so pleased to see where social media is heading.
For me personally, being a photographer I see social media as a huge asset! It's a way to invite my viewers into my life and allow them to see the artist behind the lens. It also allows for people to get involved with brands, companies and businesses easier. I personally have been more in touch with some of my favorite athletes and snowboard companies through instagram and participating in contests or simply liking their photo.
Overall I think that social media is becoming more important as a tool to keep us connected together and to whats going on around us across the world, and less about bragging about your own life. I am really excited to see where it grows next.

Jerry Seinfeld has lost his favorite, loudest uncle. Len Lesser, the actor best known for yelling his way into our hearts as Uncle Leo on "Seinfeld," has passed away.
Len Lesser (Left) | Kim Kardashian (Right)
Just when you thought Kim Kardashian couldn't sink any lower, she goes on Facebook and harasses an 87-year-old man. And not just any 87-year old. We're talking about Len Lesser, the guy who played Uncle Leo on "Seinfeld!"
Len Lesser called Burbank police last night after receiving a slew of calls from people who kept asking, "Are you Uncle Leo?" The 87-year-old couldn't take it anymore so cops came to his house.
While at Lesser's home, an officer intercepted one of the calls and asked where the caller had found the number. As it turns out, someone posing as Kim Kardashian on Facebook posted the information, not the reality/porn star herself. However, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw Kardashain in jail until the whole thing gets sorted out, just in case.
In the meantime, Lesser should start answering his phone with "Vandelay Industries" in order to throw the callers off his trail. (TMZ)

Arctic's melt season getting longer by five days per decade
Researchers have said that the melt season across the Arctic is getting longer by five days per decade.
According to new research from a team including Prof Julienne Stroeve (Professor of Polar Observation and Modelling at UCL Earth Sciences), who studied new analysis of satellite data shows the Arctic Ocean absorbing ever more of the sun's energy in summer, leading to an ever later appearance of sea ice in the autumn. In some regions, autumn freeze-up is occurring up to 11 days per decade later than it used to.
While temperatures have been increasing during all calendar months, trends in melt onset are considerably smaller than that of autumn freeze-up. Nevertheless, the timing of melt onset strongly influences how much of the Sun's energy gets absorbed by the ice and sea.
This in turn is affected by how reflective the surface is. Highly reflective surfaces, such as ice, are said to have a high albedo, as they reflect most of the incoming heat back into space. Less reflective surfaces like liquid water have a low albedo, and absorb most of the heat that is directed at them.
This means that even a small change in the extent of sea ice in spring can lead to vastly more heat being absorbed over the summer, leading to substantially later onset of ice in the autumn.
There is also a second effect, in that multi-year ice (which survives through the summer without melting) has a higher albedo than single-year ice that only covers the sea in winter.
Since the 1980s, the proportion of the Arctic winter ice that is made up of multi-year ice has dropped from around 70 per cent to about 20 per cent today, so the changes are quite substantial
The research has been published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Hudson adoption updates
Two recent good news made my day.
In a blog post titled "What Sun should do?", an analyst James Governor wrote:
Get behind Hudson is a big way. Developers really like it. It just works. It makes managing your builds a relatively painless experience.
Compiling with JDK6 and running on JDK5
It's common for a Java project to compile with later versions of JDK than it minimally requires. For example, when Hudson runs on Java6 it takes advantages of those features, but it can also run on Java5 without those advanced features.
The technique to do this is well understood.
Using Metro to talk to Amazon EC2
Amazon EC2 has a SOAP web service, and I wanted to talk to EC2 from Hudson, so I decided to use Metro for this.
JJUG and meeting with Hudson committers
On Thursday I was at a conference hosted by Japan Java User Group (JJUG) and gave a keynote about software development productivity and Hudson. I think there were maybe 100-150 people.
Get together at Appresso
On Wednesday, I visited a company where one of the Japanese Hudson committers work for — Appresso.
Hot Topic Seminar on Metro and Jersey
On Tuesday evening in Sun campus at Youga, I did a talk on Metro and Jersey for two hours.
Random pictures from Tokyo
This is a koban near my house. It's a small police station, and normally there are one or two policemen inside. They do all sorts of things ranging from finding directions for you, taking care of losts and founds, or scolding a shoplifter (or so I hear.) The bicycle you see next to the koban is used to patrol the neighborhood.
Tokyo, here I come!
The night before I fly to Tokyo, I had a dream about an airplane crashing — I reject the existence of future-telling dreams, but I had to admit that I felt bit uneasy getting into the airplane. (Obviously, my flight to Tokyo was quite peaceful.)
Visiting Tokyo is always an enjoyable experience.

At first glance, Mike Cody looks more like an computer repairman than an entertainer. However, Mike's bookish appearance is shattered the moment he launches into his act, a non-stop barrage of dark punchlines and quirky observations from one of the most unique young voices in comedy.
Born and raised in a working class Pennsylvania town, Mike spent most of his young life trying to find a balance between his coffeehouse mentality and his blue collar surroundings. After earning a communication degree from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 2001, Mike moved to Cincinnati, OH in pursuit of his incredibly ridiculous longtime goal to become the greatest professional wrestling manager of all time.
Predictably, Mike's wrestling school experience was a complete bust. He settled into an unfulfilling job as a paper pusher at a law firm and started counting the days until retirement. While at lunch one day, Mike ran across an ad for stand-up classes taught by comedian Jeff Jena. Mike wound up taking the class, partly out of need to prove to himself that the corporate world hadn?t completely sucked out his soul, and tore the house down at his graduation performance in March of 2004.
Since that time, Mike's original, energetic material has made him a favorite at comedy clubs and rock venues throughout the Midwest. Mike has also won several comedy competitions, most notably the Cincinnati division of the 2005 Sierra Mist Next Great Comic Contest.
Mike Cody stands up for a lady and defends her honor!
Mike Cody just wants to meet somebody...Is that so wrong?!
Holiday shopping can be a real pain, unless you come up with some entertaining tactics on how to survive the season! Featuring comics Dan Cummins, Mike Cody, and Jono Zalay.
Mike Cody learns that it is better to give, than receive.

Dawning of a new Eve with position switch for Cantabrigian's Francois
Posted: February 21, 2014|
Francois Eve will revert to full-back for Cantabrigian's home match with Sudbury in London League 3NE.
The Frenchman has played in a number of different positions in his time at Cantabs, including winger and hooker, but will don the No 15 shirt this weekend after the departure of Ali McCormick.
James McCraughan is missing but Drew Tilley returns.
Head coach Mick Jones said: "Sudbury are a good side and beat us away in the league and in the cup up there as well.
"We were unlucky up there in the league, we lost 15-12 and just a had a bit of a bad start really.
"They are a young side who like to put width on the ball and move it around. They are very much an attacking side.
"They are an organised team and play to their strengths but it will be interesting with our full pack out."
Saffron Walden will have a match against Lowestoft & Yarmouth this weekend in 2NE – it is just a question of whether it will be at their Henham ground or at Carver Barracks, which will be down to the weather.
Josh Harris will be one of the props, while Steve Muggeridge will be on the other side of the front row in what is a full-strength squad.
Skipper Adam Miles said: "We have a big game next week at Allianz Park so this week will be a big test for the whole squad.
"We figured out that January and February would be a tough time so we were told to keep the blank weekends free for rearranged games."
He added: "Everyone is itching to get back on the pitch as we have only had one first-team match since Christmas."
In Greene King IPA Eastern Counties One, Ely make one change to their pack for the trip to Harwich & Dovercourt.
Sam Carr-Archer has moved away from the area so Tim Evans replaces him at lock.
Captain John Dibb said: "It has to be played this week because it can only be postponed once, otherwise they forfeit.
"They say their pitch is quite wet so where it will be I don't know."
He added: "Their pitches are generally quite wet so it suits them. They are generally more a forwards' led team but, all being well, we will be able to play well and come away with the five points."

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
From all-creatures.org
Vegan - Vegetarian Recipe Book

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
(Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)) At first thought, it might seem strange to include vitamin C powder as a recipe ingredient; however, vitamin C has been found to be a dough enhancer when used in conjunction with Ginger and Soya Lecithin. The ascorbic acid strengthens the gluten bonds so that the rising dough is better able to retain the gas bubbles. The ginger accelerates the yeast, and the soya lecithin acts as an emulsifier. Typically, for every cup of flour, add 1 tsp. soya lecithin, 1/16 tsp. ground ginger, and 1/16 tsp. ascorbic acid powder. We purchased our vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) in the health food store.
The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!

Course Maps & Details
Swim Course Details:
The Barbs Race swim is staged at Johnson's Beach in Guerneville, CA. The swim takes place in the Russian River. Water temperatures are typically between 72 and 76 degrees. If this is the case on race morning wetsuits will be allowed as this falls within USA Triathlon guidelines. (please go to www.usatriathlon.org for details of the wetsuit rules)
The swim course is an out and back course which starts in front of the dam at Johnson's Beach and proceeds upstream to the turn-around point. Swimmers will keep the swim buoys on their left for the entire swim. A neutral area, which is marked with buoys, will separate the swimmers on the outbound and return legs of the swim. The Barbs Race swim turn-around is approximately 200 meters after the dock at the Willows Resort (which is on the left-hand side of the river as one heads upstream). The swim course, which averages between 4 and 7 feet in depth, will be monitored by lifeguards in kayaks.
Click for the Barb's Race Swim Course Map
With the Russian River being dammed up in a number of locations near Guerneville and the fact that it almost never rains in Sonoma County between June 1st and October 15th, there is very little current in the river during this time period.
The dam at Johnson's Beach is a seasonal dam which is up only in the summer months. The dam is scheduled to be in place by mid June and will remain in the river until the end of September.
The swim course cutoff time is 1 hour and 15 minutes from the last swim wave. If a participant does not finish the swim in this amount of time they will not be permitted to continue on with the bike portion of the race. The cutoff time will be strictly enforced.
Oomph! Bike Course Details:
The Oomph! bike course for Barbs Race is the same as the Ironman 70.3 Vineman. It is challenging, but not too difficult. The many rolling hills and curves are technically demanding. It has a 385 foot climb on Chalk Hill, which is enough of a challenge and is located at just the right point (45 miles) to keep you honest in your training. But most of all, the course is extremely beautiful, passing endless miles of vineyards and dozens of wineries.
The bike begins in Guerneville and finishes at Windsor High School (approximately 17 miles away from its starting point). Aid stations are located approximately every 18 miles and will be serving water(in sport top bottles), bananas, Gatorade Endurance (in sport top bottles), and mini Clif Bars. The gently rolling hills are challenging, but not overwhelming. Although open to traffic, the roads are lightly traveled and will be marshaled by USAT officials.
Air temperatures generally range from the low-to-mid 50s early in the morning to daytime highs between 80 and 95 degrees.
The bike course cutoff time is 3:00pm. Anyone that does not finish the bike portion by this time will not be allowed to continue onto the run course. Bike course cutoff times will be strictly enforced.

The statement pushes back earlier rumors of a third-quarter launch, as Google continues to work closely with hardware partners to deliver clamshell devices with touch-pads, keyboards and screens between 10 and 12 inches across. At least initially this will be the focus. It isn't clear whether Chrome OS will also be ready for tablets when it launches. So far we've seen a few Android tablet prototypes being announced, but the jury is still out regarding which platform will work best in this market -- my guess is Google will stick with Android for touch-centric devices.
Announced nearly a year ago, Chrome OS is a lightweight operating system built around Google's Chrome browser. Like other Linux-based platforms, it will be available for free, allowing hardware vendors to avoid licensing costs. A big part of Google's focus is on speed, and as such startup times, including access to the web, should take seconds rather than the minute or longer that most Windows users endure. The cloud-based design should provide quick access to Google's suite of online applications, in addition to the Chrome Web Store which will launch alongside the operating system.

The raddest storm ever is about to invade House Of Blues Atlantic City at Showboat this Friday. We're talking about Halestorm, the last group to win the latest Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for the song "Love Bites (And So Do I)" off of their most current release, The Strange Case Of, and our local friends who got their start in the Philly area before signing with Atlantic Records in 2005 and taking the world well…by….storm.
Front woman Lzzy Hale and younger brother, drummer Arejay, almost unknowingly formed Halestorm in their parents' living room in Red Loin, PA. In 2003, they picked up guitarist Joe Hottinger and then bassist Josh Smith in 2004. The band has seemingly gained increasing popularity every year since its inception, probably due to their non-stop extensive touring and plainly just because they rock. They're real. And they have fun doing it.
We recently got the chance to speak with Lzzy Hale about Friday's show and so much more. We have to let it be known that she is such an cool, down to earth chick. Her enthusiasm for her craft was totally refreshing and amazing. Check it out, below.
TAC: You and your brother Arejay were musicians from a very young age and released your first EP together when you were just teenagers. Did you always know that this is something you would be in for the long haul together?
Lzzy Hale: I don't even think that we felt that we were going to take it this far. It became this obsession. From the first time that we played our first show outside of our parents' living room, we were like oh my God, we have to do this more! It became this is what we want to do with our lives and even now we sit back and are like can you believe we're still doing this?! Look at how far we've come! It's definitely crazy to think about because we didn't set out and say we're going to be musicians now and this is going to be our life. We played a show and then said I wonder what it would be like to do this for the summer. Then it became a no-brainer like this is our identity, we are a band to the point when we would meet new people I would say I'm Lzzy Hale and I'm in a band called Halestorm. We had tunnel vision for a long time and we fell in love with the chase of it. We said if we play this one club, maybe this club owner will talk to that club owner and we'll get to play that one, and then maybe eventually we will get out of Pennsylvania and then we'll get out of the East Coast. It still is that way. We still have that same fire that we had when we were kids like wow! What do you think is gonna happen next?!
TAC:How was the process of finding Joe & Josh then?
Lzzy Hale: Joe answered an ad in the paper. You know, single, white, female searching for…no! I'm kidding! It wasn't that kind of ad. We were working in Philadelphia with this local producer; his name is David Ivory, and he let us use his studio. We were recording demos and doing a lot of writing there. We had had guitar players and bass players come in and out of the band since we were teenagers, but it was hard to find kids our own age who were as obsessed as we were and had the parental support. The last people that left our band were in the band for six months and then they said their parents didn't want them to be in the band anymore! Our schoolwork is suffering or whatever. So we had a little bit of free time working with this producer and he said if you put out some ads, you can use my studio as an audition place instead of having them come to your parents house. Joe was like the 50th person to come in, but he was like the only person that was actually honest about his age. We would get a bunch of older guys coming in and they would send a photo from when they were 20, but that was back in 1982! Their hair was long, but they were my dad's age. I was like well we might as well have my dad back in the band! So Joe showed up and he actually showed up late because my dad gave him the wrong directions to the studio, but it was kudos to him because he actually figured it out. But anyway, the cool thing about Joe is that he was the only person who auditioned that came in that didn't just solo over everything. He actually wrote some parts to our existing songs that we were teaching him and that's what we wanted. We wanted someone who we could actually collaborate with. He'll probably kill me for telling you this, but he didn't think that he got the audition. I had our producer run out and give him the address to my parents' place so that we could jam and play a few shows and see how it goes. The rest is history! He's been with us for ten years.
Josh came after Joe. We would go around the Philadelphia area on the search for a bass player. We basically stole him from his band! We told him that we only needed a temporary bass player. We met him and we all hit it off and became friends. After a couple months of that, he was like so, I'm going to have to call up my best friend in the band I'm with and tell him that I quit because I love this so much! We tricked him and it worked! Again, he's been with us for ten years as well. It's just amazing to be surrounded by these people that you have such history with and be able to experience all these new things. It's pretty crazy.
TAC: How does it feel to be the chick amongst the guys? Do you ever feel like you need any girl time or do you like it?
Lzzy Hale: I like it! Too much estrogen makes it a little weird! I spend so much time with the guys that literally I become a crazy person when there are too many girls around. We're usually not touring with a bunch of girls. The last tour I had that was consistently with another girl was Carnival of Madness last year with Amy Lee. Within the first five minutes of us meeting it was shoes, boys, makeup, all these things pouring out of me that I never talk about! The guys in my band were like you become a different person when Amy's around! I like being a girl. I like being with my guys. We all meet in the middle somewhere. They're not uber agro, they actually have really good hygiene (laughs) and for the most part, they enjoy everything that I like to do too. I think that just comes from growing up together. I've never taken being a girl in a band as a negative thing. It's nice to stick out like a sore thumb on whatever bill and it's nice to torture all of the guys that are on the tour with you because you can wear the high heels and they can't! It's a lot of fun!
TAC: You are a role model to so many of your female fans. How does that make you feel? Does it freak you out at all or do you kind of just go with it?
Lzzy Hale: I always err on the side of honesty. I'm sure I'm going to say something stupid over twitter or something like that if I haven't already. Either way whether it's a bad influence or a good influence, I'm not going to pretend to be something I'm not. It's just too much work to keep up with this weird façade. People have kind of attached themselves to me because I represent something to certain people and it's so incredibly flattering. At first it did freak me out to the point of where I was like should I say that? I think the difference between the first record and the second record was kind of like the battle between that in my mind. The first record was uber clean and a little vague. It was me trying to figure out if I should just say what I want to say or if I was going to get angry letters from parents. This last record that we did, The Strange Case Of, I just for lack of a better term, just said f*ck it and wrote what I wanted to write. I think that people gravitate more towards the honesty rather than if you're trying to be this squeaky, clean person. Hopefully I don't scar too many people! It's really flattering because we see a lot of girls coming to our shows that are starting bands and started playing guitar and writing songs. It's really neat to see. I didn't have a whole lot of that growing up which is part of the reason why all the people in my band are guys because I connected more to that and that's what there was. It's really neat to stand on the stage and see all these girls. I'm very proud.
TAC:What's something that people would be surprised to know about you?
Lzzy Hale: I feel like we'll continue to figure that out and even for myself! I surprise myself most times. It's not very rock and roll, but I like to sew. I make a lot of my own jewelry, so there's that. As far as strange habits, one of my favorite breakfasts is smashed avocado and bananas. People think that's gross, but I actually like it!
TAC: Your songs from your first to second album have become more intimate. What's the difference in the writing process there?
Lzzy Hale: Taking a lot of the brain out of it. We didn't have a whole lot of time to put everything together, so a lot of the songs that were written, we're writing while we were in the studio. There were only a handful of songs, "Love Bites" and "American Boys" that we had before we went into the studio. Everything else was kind of creative purging if you will. Again, it was a lot less thinking, maybe more out of necessity because we didn't have a whole lot of time to think. On the first record it was a lot of is this going to work for radio? Is it too long for radio? Is the label going to like it? Is the A&R guy going to like it? More or less, on this record we basically said okay, is it good or is it not? I think we were too obsessed on the first record with making it all be like a theme. We had a theme before we put all the songs together where as this one was we have this crazy piano ballad, we have this song where I'm screaming my head off, we have an intimate song that I'm sure my mother would love. We had all this stuff going on, but we all loved all of it. We had to find a way to put everything on that we loved. That's why there's such an eclectic mixture. It's kind of freeing to only have that question in your mind.
TAC: Do you feel as though this has changed the direction of your career in any way?
Lzzy Hale: I think that a lot has changed kind of fast, but like we were talking about before, we've been a band for ten years. Whether you take two steps back or one step forward, you're still moving forward. This has been the biggest forward moving step that we've made considering the Grammy and the touring we're doing. We'll have done over 300 shows by the end of this year. It's the busiest year we've had. I can only hope that we will continue to move forward and go in this direction. Hopefully the next record is everything we want it to be.
TAC: You and the rest of your band seem to have as much fun off stage as you do on stage. How will you occupy your off stage time when you're here in Atlantic City?
Lzzy Hale: That's always a crazy time because I'm from Pennsylvania, so I know all about Jersey! This is the first time that we're coming close to that in a couple months now, so we're probably going to see a lot of family. I'm excited for it because this is one of the shows that I get to play with one of my idols. We have Tom Keifer from Cinderella on with us. It's going to be a very exciting time for me because I'll be trying not to fan girl out! During our off time, I'm sure the guys will want to have a few beers, that's kind of a given, and hang out with a lot of people we haven't seen in awhile. Not only our family, but a lot of our friends in the local scene there as well. Every time we come through, I always meet somebody that gave us a leg up back in the day; somebody that was in a band that we opened up for or was part of radio at the time and actually spun one of our songs. It's always wonderful coming back.
TAC: You also seem very disciplined on the road too. You follow a specific diet plan, workout plan and a vocal warm up and cool down plan. How have you found that all of these help you perform better?
Lzzy Hale: As of recently, this year, I've finally figured this out! I started doing it out of necessity just because our schedule is so busy. I remember in like 2006, when we had no responsibilities but to play a 20-minute opening set in front of four bands. Every night was tequila and it didn't matter because we didn't have anything to do the next day! Now a typical day of mine is you wake up, you do a bunch of interviews, and then you have to go and do sound check, and then you have meet and greets and probably an acoustic show for the station and then you do the show and a meet and greet after the show. There's only a window of time to get some good sleep. I did notice that I perform so much better when I take care of myself. Maybe it wouldn't matter if I didn't have all these things I need to do, but I try to take it as a badge of honor. I'm finally at a point where I have to pay attention to that stuff, so I'm trying to look at it in that light. Not like man, the guys get to have more fun than me! You have to look at it like well, I've made it to a point where I'm successful enough where I have to be responsible.
TAC: And the obvious question: What can fans expect from your show here at House Of Blues next week?
Lzzy Hale: It's gonna be a blast. We take this in a very selfish light where we're going to throw in all the stops in the set list. We're going to throw in a couple covers. We're about to release another cover EP, so we're probably going to throw in some more covers and just have a great time. I'm sure anybody who sees the show will see any of us trying to mess the other one up. The guys usually try to make me laugh when I'm trying to sing, we just have a good time. We plug in and we play. There's no tracks or tickery, we just have a great time no matter what. There probably will be lots of surprises for us too because if you've ever gotten the chance to see or meet my little brother, he's a very unpredictable drummer, so we'll probably have some surprises of our own on stage!
Seriously. We can't wait! Can you? Catch Halestorm at House Of Blues at Showboat Atlantic City this Friday! Get those tickets if you haven't already and get ready to rock. Show starts at 9!
