Love your tree photos! I grew up in the country and moved to the city as an adult too…and now I'm somewhere in the middle. (The suburbs…ugh.)
This winter, I ordered a whole batch of little trees from the Arbor Day Foundation. They arrived in March and are now all sprouting their first leaves and enjoying the spring sunshine. So exciting! I take my 14 month old out in the backyard every day to look at them.
Your new little bears (and bunny) are very sweet.
May 2, 2008 at 10:05 |
Beautiful photos. Looove your bears! Can't wait to have mine! ;D
I spent most of my childhood in urban Tokyo. Though during my teens I was at school in Malvern which was beautiful (but boring as a teenager). I agree, I love london too. The only thing is that I want Tubes to be cleaner!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Don't Bump the Glump!: And Other Fantasiesby Shel Silverstein
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It's a zoo in here!
Have you ever...
You haven't? Well then, step inside — but only if you are ready to be amazed, tickled, astonished and entertained by this most unusual bestiary of silly and scary creatures.
"Back in 1964 — the same year that his Giving Tree was published — Silverstein's first poetry collection appeared; it was also his only children's book to contain full-color art. Reissued in a slightly larger trim size, this collection of 45 poems tours readers past imaginary creatures, beginning with a being that looks remarkably like a fedora but for the jaw subtly poking below one side of the brim and the four tiny feet beneath: 'This is the Quick-Disguising Ginnit./ Didn't he have you fooled for a minute?' There's no question that the intensity of Silverstein's watercolor palette adds to the fun: the gradations in the hat, for example, distract from the 'ginnit' details; more typically, they supply a punch that complements the puckish but simple shapes of Silverstein's silly beasts ('The Pointy-Peaked Pavarius,/ A creature most gregarious,/ Who's never taken serious,/ Poor thing'). 'Silly' doesn't mean unsophisticated, by the way: most of the work was first published in Playboy. All ages." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Originally published in 1964, Silverstein's first collection of poetry about a band of unusual creatures housed in Uncle Shelby's Zoo is available once again, this time in full color. Click here for some online fun!
Don't Bump the Glump! turns fifty! A commemorative gold anniversary sticker graces Shel Silverstein's first poetry collection, celebrating fifty years since publication. This, his only book in full color, was published the same year as his famous classic The Giving Tree.
Filled with stunning ink and watercolor illustrations, Don't Bump the Glump! is bursting with Shel Silverstein's unique imagination and bold brand of humor. Are you ready to be astonished, tickled, and entertained by this most unusual bestiary of silly and amazing creatures?
Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator started with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, as well as of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.
Supports the Common Core State Standards.

LISBON Program and job cuts on are on the table as the Lisbon Central School Board of Education works to whittle away a $577,569 gap in its $12,809,619 preliminary budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year.
At Thursdays board meeting, Superintendent Erin E. Woods said proposed staff cuts include a physical education teaching assistant, saving $42,206; two special education teaching assistants, saving a total of $83,816; eliminating the seventh- and eighth-grade Spanish teaching position, saving $48,132, and the possibility of not replacing the buildings and grounds head position for a savings of $86,205.
Ms. Woods said the district also is considering saving $48,500 through a variety of other means, such as reducing the districts reliance on new textbooks.
But that still leaves a $254,710 budget gap, business manager Wendy S. White said.
Weve cut as far as we possibly can, Ms. Woods said at Thursdays meeting.
She said she is hopeful the state Legislature will throw the district a lifeline in the form of additional state aid.
Ms. Woods has been reaching out to local lawmakers to get them to lobby on the schools behalf.
The states budget, which will include the final state aid numbers for the district, is due by April 1.
In the preliminary budget discussed at Thursdays meeting, the district is anticipating collecting $3.19 million in taxes, a 2 percent increase from last year, Mrs. White said. For the district to further increase tax revenues, it would need an affirmative vote from two-thirds of the districts voters.
The district plans to apply $1.6 million of fund balance this year, and Mrs. White said if it is forced to continue spending its reserves, the district will be in the red by the end of the 2016-17 school year.
She said the biggest drivers of expenses are employee health insurance costs and benefits.
I feel like were just up against the wall, board member Scott Walker said.
Board President Blake P. Gendebien said he is concerned that cuts will seriously affect the quality of education students receive at Lisbon.
To lose Spanish in this day and age would be a real failure to students, Mr. Gendebien said.
The board will hold another budget meeting April 24, with a public budget hearing scheduled for May 8. The budget vote will be held May 20.

Hi all,
Has anyone taken a building services HNC with logis-tech, as a distant learner? Or any other provider for that matter.
I'm 30 years old and work as a refrigeration and air conditioning engineer for medium sized building services company and Im looking for the next step up the ladder qualification, both as a career progression and self yearning to learn.
I'm not quite sure what career direction I would like to take but i'm thinking maybe either consultancy or design.
I'm qualified up to NVQ level 3 and so the building services HNC seems the next logical step but with it being distant learning, I'm a little bit worried about if I will struggle to get to grips with the science and maths involved, especially since I won't be in a class room and be able to listen to the lecturer and ask questions.
I know that I would be assigned a tutor but to what degree would they be available to help?
I consider myself very academic and know that if I was to attend a college or uni full or part time then there wouldn't be an issue but the fact is I would be studying from home alone.
Hopefully someone on here can shed some light on the Distant learning process.
Kind regards

Unfortunately the experience of distance learning is different from establishment to establishment.
I did my BSc as distance learning and never actually set foot inside the university. Their online libraries were good enough for me to do my research along with a few books from Amazon. I have now just started my MSc, I go to the university for exams, but again their online facilities and the course work are good enough for me to work through.
Some establishments do have a site specifically for their distance learning students so you would be able to communicate with them through that. You also have other online options as well, this forum for one. They also have a library at the IET, if you are a member. Sometimes you can also get contacts for previous students and they can offer advice.
Response from lecturers will be dependent upon how well the distance learning system has been set up and the time they allocate to it. In my experience some lecturers will allocate very little time and I got the impression that the university has got the money for the course and will then leave you to it.
Certainly a distance learning course will require far more discipline and self enthusiasm than attending a college.
If you are worried about maths then you could take a bridging course at a local college to build up your knowledge before attempting the course.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Kind regards

Neocallimastix patriciarum is one of the common anaerobic fungi in the digestive tracts of ruminants that can actively digest cellulosic materials, and its cellulases have great potential for hydrolyzing cellulosic feedstocks. Due to the difficulty in culture and lack of a genome database, it is not easy to gain a global understanding of the glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) produced by this anaerobic fungus.
We have developed an efficient platform that uses a combination of transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to N. patriciarum to accelerate gene identification, enzyme classification and application in rice straw degradation. By conducting complementary studies of transcriptome (Roche 454 GS and Illumina GA IIx) and secretome (ESI-Trap LC-MS/MS), we identified 219 putative GH contigs and classified them into 25 GH families. The secretome analysis identified four major enzymes involved in rice straw degradation: β-glucosidase, endo-1,4-β-xylanase, xylanase B and Cel48A exoglucanase. From the sequences of assembled contigs, we cloned 19 putative cellulase genes, including the GH1, GH3, GH5, GH6, GH9, GH18, GH43 and GH48 gene families, which were highly expressed in N. patriciarum cultures grown on different feedstocks.
These GH genes were expressed in Pichia pastoris and/or Saccharomyces cerevisiae for functional characterization. At least five novel cellulases displayed cellulytic activity for glucose production. One β-glucosidase (W5-16143) and one exocellulase (W5-CAT26) showed strong activities and could potentially be developed into commercial enzymes.

'Hidden tax' leads to higher premiums for families and employers
Click here to view the full proposal: http://www.ahip.org/content/default.aspx?docid=25216
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Low Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals and physicians lead to significantly higher health insurance costs for consumers and employers, according to a study released today by Milliman Inc. The report found that annual health care spending for an average family of four is $1,788 higher than it would be if Medicare, Medicaid and private employers paid hospitals and physicians similar rates, with total provider reimbursement unchanged.
The continued underpayment of providers by public programs has devastating consequences for families and employers that are struggling to afford health care coverage. These underpayments create a payment gap to hospitals and physicians that privately insured employers and consumers must close through a "cost shift" or "hidden tax."
The Milliman study measures the cost shift as the difference between actual payment rates and average payment rates for Medicare, Medicaid and private payers; total payment to hospitals and physicians is held constant. The study does not assess appropriate levels of payment, but rather the disparities among current payment rates.
The study found that cost shifting:

Friday Evening Speaker:
Jeff Vandeberg, Architect, Chelsea Market
Saturday Luncheon Speaker:
Dr. Amy Kimme Hea,
Conference Registration
This year's SUNY COW conference theme "Sustainability and Writing" asks us to consider how writing is intertwined in environmental issues, but it also asks us to think about the ecology of writing, writing programs, and the teaching of writing.
How is the concept of sustainability changing or influencing the field of writing? How are writing programs adapting to speak to emerging theories of sustainability?

Description: There are more and more hobbyists taking advantage of surface mount technology these days. With affordable tools like hot air and hotplate reflow ovens, electronics enthusiasts are shrinking their projects down to new levels of portability. Unfortunately, It's not always easy to get your hands on small amounts of SMD parts so here's a part that every project could use more of: tiny little LEDs.
That's right, each pack includes 25 tiny 0603 SMD LEDs in cut-tape packaging. These are great for status lights or for building really small LED matrices. Don't expect them to be super bright, they're basically the standard red LED that shows up on our Arduino boards and things like that, but they do come in super handy when you're tight on space.
So is George Washington just admiring the new surface mount LEDs or is he part of Sparkfun's Quality Assurance team?
Thank you greatly Sparkfun for the SMD components but would you please explain a twenty dollar difference between these and the white ones?
the white ones are much more expensive.

On Sunday, Nov. 15, about 20 St. Mary's students gathered at the Campus Center for the "Keep St. Mary's Beautiful Walk." The event, organized by juniors Danny Ruthenberg-Marshall and Tess Wier, was meant to voice the discontent with recent acts of vandalism on campus. Students walked around campus, posting signs at the sites of the vandalism and carrying a banner that read "Keep St. Mary's Beautiful." The walk ended at the community garden, where participants cleaned up the mess created a few weeks before.

Ma won't let Pantino join ITF event-A A +A
Saturday, July 19, 2014
THE Philippine Tennis Association wants to send Cebuano tennis prodigy Arthur Craig Pantino to the International Tennis Federation Juniors tournament but the mother of the 14-year-old says it's not a good move.
Lourdes Pantino says she wants her son to concentrate on Asian Tennis Federation events as he is not ready to play in ITF-level tournaments.
According to the ATF website, Pantino is currently at No. 6 in the U14 division, trailing No. 1 Han Seon Yong of Korea, Adil Kalyanpur of India, Ali Dawani of Brunei, Ali Sahibzada of Pakistan and Jeong Yeongseok of Korea.
"We feel that Iggy is not yet ready for this. He just started playing in ATF-sanctioned tournaments and just won two titles. We believe it's not enough. That's why we are hoping that PTA will just let him focus playing in ATF-sanctioned tournaments," said Lourdes.
Lourdes said her son has two more years in the ATF.
"He has more two years to enjoy and take advantage of the opportunity and to maintain
his ranking," said Lourdes.
"ITF tournaments are very tough tournament, wala pa siya ka rule sa ATF how much more sa ITF? We believe it's too early for him to be playing in this kind of level of tournament," said Lourdes.
Pantino has played once in the ATF Championship series last year in Vietnam and managed to secure the top 21 in the first leg and top 18 in the second leg.
"If given a chance, we want him to focus on ATF tournaments for now and by next year, he should be ready for ITF-sanctioned tournaments," said Lourdes.
Lourdes hopes that Pantino will be given a chance by PTA to play in the ATF tournaments in September in Malaysia and in October in Thailand. It was in Thailand that Pantino won two titles out of five legs.
"We are hoping that he can play in Thailand and defend his titles," said Lourdes.

Some supermodels have their own fragrances, other supermodels have their own animated web series. Gisele falls into the latter category. Her latest venture is an environmental cartoon. Yes, an environmental cartoon. And it's obviously called Gisele and the Green Team.
Gisele and her four friends work at a boutique called G-Planet, but morph into eco-superheroes when trouble arises. The series reminds us quite a bit of Captain Planet — both involve five ethnically diverse environmental crime fighters with jewels that activate their powers. But while the Planeteer powers were earth, fire, wind, water and heart, the Green Team powers are telepathy, telekinesis, remote viewing, foresight and earth memory. Weird.
So how does animated Gisele hold up? We can't say the rendering is super accurate, though Gisele's definitely taller (and less cartoon-like) than her comrades. And the Brazilian beauty definitely did not voice her accentless character.

Welcome to the explain xkcd wiki! We already have 11 comic explanations!
(But there are still 1576 to go. Come and add yours!)
Latest comic
|Food Rule
Title text: I won't eat invertebrates, because I can fight a skeleton, but I have no idea what kind of spooky warrior a squid leaves behind.
| This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: Please improve connections and smooth out flow
There are various vegetarian diets which restrict certain foods for ethical concerns. A pescatarian diet omits most sources of meat, but still allows for fish. One rationale for this choice is that fish have a less complex nervous system, and thus experience a narrower range of suffering when farmed. An ovo-lacto vegetarian will not eat meat, but may consume animal byproducts such as milk, egg, cheese, and honey. A vegan diet excludes all animal products entirely. Some vegetarians choose to summarize their eating habits in one sentence, like eating "nothing that once had a heartbeat", "nothing that can have children", "nothing with eyes" or "nothing with a face" - this last example being the subject of the comic.
Randall presents two rules about what can be eaten, one in the caption below the frame comic and one in the title text. He also presents a list of allowed and forbidden foods but not all of the forbidden foods matches both rules.
Randall is willing to eat food disregarding if it once had a face or not. But his rule in the caption states that he will not eat any food if he needs to use Google to figure out whether it came from something who had a face or not. While it's clear, at least to Randall, that a cow has a face and an apple does not, some beings are harder to classify into one of these categories. For example, the squid has eyes and mouth, but it would be hard to tell whether that counts as a face. This would be a problem for the vegetarian standard rule of "nothing with a face" and thus openly mocks the vegetarian rule of "nothing with a face".
The three omissions are explained by the rule given in the title text. This rule is about not eating invertebrates. The first four items on the list are meat from four different animals of the type vertebrates and the last three items are from plants. These are all OK to eat. But the middle three items are three different animals of the type invertebrates. Randall does not eat these!
These animals do not have any skeleton. Randall is joking about how the animals he eats might come back to haunt him, and in the case of a cow or fish (or any other vertebrates - with skeletons), he imagines that they would come back as an animated skeletal structure. Any undead creature that returns as a skeleton he believes he will be able to fight. But since he has no idea how an undead squid or oyster (or any other invertebrate) would look, he feels unprepared to fight such a spooky creature and thus declines from eating them.
Randall has previously mentioned his dislike of certain foods (namely lobster) in 1268: Alternate Universe.
Items on the list
Here is a list with explanation for each item:
- Red meat, includes meat from most adult mammals, but many people will probably think of beefsteak from cattle.
- Pork, is meat from from pigs. As this is actually a type of red meat this supports that Randall was thinking of beef, when mentioning red meat above.
- Poultry are domesticated birds, most people will think of chicken.
- Fish covers a very large group of animals, most of them are not eaten on a regular basis, but a large group of fish are used as food.
- Shrimp is used to refer to ten-footed Crustacean and some of these are used for food. In the UK they often go under the name Prawns.
- Oysters refers to a family of mollusca within the class bivalvia (i.e. body enclosed in shells consisting of two hinged parts). Most people will probably think of the true oysters specifically the edible oyster. Note that Pearl oyster is not a true oyster.
- Squid are cephalopods (also of the mollusca family ) with eight arms arranged in pairs and two longer tentacles. They are related to cuttlefish and octopuses.
- Fruit is a part of a flowering plant. Common fruits are apples, oranges, bananas and pears. But in principle anything that comes from a flower is a fruit, including grains. Although in a culinary sense there is a distinction between vegetables and fruit, any part of a flower is actually a vegetable. See below and also see 388: Fuck Grapefruit.
- Vegetables are any kind of plant. But in everyday it refers to any part of a plant that is consumed by humans as food as part of a savoury meal. Thus excluding both fruit, nuts and cereal grains. For instance a tomato would be seen as a vegetable due to its taste and as a fruit botanically – see the Venn diagram here.
- Grains are small, hard, dry seeds. Usually when mentioning these people will think of breakfast cereal grains. Typical grains are corn, rice and wheat. As mentioned above grains are botanically a fruit.
- [There is a caption above a list of food with indication whether it is OK or not to eat. Below is another caption.]
- My food rule:
Red meat ✓ Pork ✓ Poultry ✓ Fish ✓ Shrimp X Oysters X Squid X Fruit ✓ Vegetables ✓ Grains ✓
- I won't eat something if I have to Google to figure out whether or not it has a face.

Isabel Marant Interview About Her Wedge Sneaker
Isabel Marant on Why the Wedge Sneaker Craze "Breaks My Heart"
Marant created the wedge sneaker, one of those genius "why didn't I think of that" creations that melded our need for comfort, our love for sportiness, and our instinct for anything with a heel. It became one of the biggest trends in footwear, spawning dozens of knockoffs. Said Marant, "I cannot say I'm surprised, because I worked a very long time to achieve it. It took a long time because when you have a wedge in the shoe it can be very bulky. When I finished it, I knew it was going to be a hit, and that it would be copied." And how does she feel to see those dozens of knockoffs? "Sometimes it's a bit too much for me. Seeing all those ugly copies — that really breaks my heart, because very often it gives a very vulgar twist [to the sneaker]. I'm not very fond about that."
But there are brighter spots to focus on, and Marant lit up talking about her forthcoming LA store (slated to open in December). "The store in LA will be one of my favorites," she said. "I love the space; I was about to keep it as a house for me," she added with a laugh. Of choosing a space, she compared it to her art. "I have to fall in love with a space, there must be something happening. I'm very attached to location, to the feeling and atmosphere of a space."
With so many stores opening around the world, and a brand that is coveted by cool girls everywhere, what else could Marant want? I asked her about her goals for the future, and opening stores was not one. "Working less and spending more time with my family — woman things, like being a mom. I'm working a lot, and my son is asking for me," she said with a big laugh. With that she said goodbye, donned a helmet, and hopped on her scooter outside, jetting off to her office to prep for the big Spring 2013 show.

So after finally getting all of my decision letters, I've narrowed my choices down to Penn State and Pittsburgh. Both will end up costing me about the same. Anyone care to weigh in with some advice? Thanks.
Where should I go next fall? / Pitt decision taking forever?« on: March 03, 2009, 11:33:11 AM »
Has anyone applied to Pittsburgh? If so have you heard back yet? My application was completed in December and I still haven't heard anything.
Where should I go next fall? / Penn State« on: February 20, 2009, 06:46:20 PM »
Does anyone care to share their thoughts about Penn State Dickinson? I've heard opinions that are all over the map, ranging from how much it sucks to how great it is. I'm under the impression that it is on it's way up since merging with the main campus in University Park a few years back, and opening up a brand new building this year, but I just wanted some other opinions. Thanks.
Where should I go next fall? / Some Choices« on: February 13, 2009, 12:21:13 PM »
I've been accepted to Villanova, Penn State (not to be confused with Penn), Rutgers Newark, Seton Hall, and St. John's. Temple put me on the wait list, and I'm still waiting to hear back from Pittsburgh. Penn state offered me a scholarship for 1/2 tuition, and Rutgers gives in state tuition for anyone who signs a 12 month lease in NJ by July, so it's about 6K more the PSU. All the rest would cost me twice as much as PSU. Anyone have any thoughts on any of these schools?

Will Marg Helgenberger Leave 'CSI'?
"My contract is up actually," Helgenberger said, when asked if she would be returning for 'CSI's' 11th season. "That's a good question. I haven't been asked back, so we'll see."
Fans Can Investigate 'CSI' at MGM Grand Las Vegas
'CSI: The Experience' offers visitors families (and other visitors looking to escape the constant "dinging" and "blooping" of slot machines) a chance to follow a simulated murder case from the initial crime scene to a selection of the most likely suspect.
While the attraction's designers struggled in vain to make it a compelling and vibrant way to kill an hour or so, the exhibit is essentially a course in basic forensic science and observation.
On a recent trip to Vegas and the MGM on business, I decided to scoop up my magnifying glass (which I always take with me on vacation) and give it a try.

Harold Perrineau Stopping by 'CSI: NY' as Well as 'Lost' This Season
The part that gets interesting for fans of the crime procedural is that Sheldon Hawkes will be in the prison along with Perrineau's character. What he's doing there hasn't been revealed, but there's apparently a connection between his past and Perrineau. I thought it might have more to do with his recent financial troubles, but perhaps there are secrets in Hawkes' past that will make his recent troubles seem like child's play.
Can you do a good David Caruso impression?
If you need a pointer or two, here's Jim Carrey's take.
CBS juggles Monday, Accidentally shelved and Rules returns
On Mondays, beginning February 1, Accidentally on Purpose will be shelved... but only for a few weeks. Taking the 8:30 Monday slot will be the return of Patrick Warburton, the best thing in Rules of Engagement.
That's not all. On March 31, the 8:30 slot in which Gary Unmarried airs, will be assumed by Accidentally. That's not because Gary's being canceled; it will have completed its season order by then.
Cagney and Lacey reunite on first Burn Notice of 2010
There's another Cagney & Lacey story in the news. CSI creator Anthony Zuiker wants to revive the show for CBS. For those who don't recall, Cagney & Lacey was the top female cop drama of the 1980's -- actually of all time. It was a serious police drama, unlike something jiggly like Charlie's Angels or safe and pedestrian like Police Woman.
CBS makes a surprise choice for the post-Super Bowl spot
It also won't be used to reinforce the success of sophomore drama The Mentalist, nor will the space be handed over to The Big Bang Theory for a one-hour stretched out sitcom episode. And the network isn't going to pump up a slipping series like CSI, which isn't getting the gaudy numbers it did in the William Peterson days. So, what will they run? Follow me after the jump to find out -- and consider this a SPOILER ALERT.
Review: CSI - The Interactive Mystery
Why can't adults have the same thing? And I mean for books other than dirty ones?
Quirk Books and Chronicle Books have done just that with the never-ending CSI franchise. CSI: The Interactive Mystery by Sam Stall is a hardcover short mystery story done in the traditional style but with an interesting twist that makes it a fun and unique read. And yes, it still requires reading. Screw Egon Spengler, print ain't dead.

We'll state the premise, then tell you the reality, i.e. the fact or the fiction. By the way, if you have ideas for Fact or Fiction, or questions you'd like us to figure out, share with us in the comments.
Fact or Fiction: When Chuck Lorre originally created The Big Bang Theory, the boys were dominated by a nasty neighbor named Katie.
Fact! Chuck Lorre told Watch magazine's Jim Colluci that a year before The Big Bang Theory was picked up by CBS, the first pilot had a female character named Katie. She manipulated the guys. "It was like shooting fish in a barrel. It didn't work," Johnny Galecki told Colluci. The problem was that Sheldon, Leonard, Raj and Howard were and are essentially innocents and without maliciousness. The idea of a woman taking advantage of their innocence was not only mean, it wasn't funny. The writers went back to the drawing board -- so to speak -- and, thus, the character of sweet, gentle Penny was born.
Jorja Fox extends her return to CSI
Three episodes into CSI's tenth season and it turns out that Jorja Fox's five episode return to the show has been extended "indefinitely." According to TVGuide.com, executive producer Carol Mendelsohn has confirmed that Fox's Sara Grissom will be around for many more episodes this season than originally planned.
Thus far, Fox has appeared in the first two eps this season. So there's still three left in her original contract and while it's still unknown how many more episodes she'll be in, you can probably figure on at least half the season.
That can't bode well for Sara and Gil fans. Grissom had a tough time last season without Sara around and I have a hard time believing that they'll be able to sell us a happy relationship between the two of them with Sara in Las Vegas and Gil traveling the world to give lectures.
Laurence Fishburne to do three-part CSI crossover
Well, in an effort to perhaps pump up Fishburne's popularity, CBS is doing something unique. For the first time, a CSI character -- Langston -- will crossover to the other two shows in the same week, all part of the same story.
Will it work? Probably. Crossover stunts are always fun and it'll give viewers who watch one of the CSI's or two, to sample the other. That's not as weird as it sounds. I only watch CSI, not NY or Miami.
Christian Slater talks about The Forgotten, life at 40, and his love of TV
Slater is back starring in a new series, The Forgotten, produced by CSI head honcho Jerry Bruckheimer. The ABC procedural follows a team of amateur detectives who work murder cases involving unidentified victims, or John and Jane Does. Slater plays former cop Alex Donovan, whose search for his missing daughter inspires him in the field.
I got the chance to talk with Slater about The Forgotten, his new career in TV, and what one of his most famous big screen characters would think about his latest role.
Sneak Peek: CSI: Miami's season premiere (aka "How Horatio got his sunglasses")
This clip below is a behind the scenes look at the season premiere of the show, where we find out how Horatio's team was put together and how Horatio got those sunglasses.

TV Squad Ten: Most visceral shows
It gets into your bloodstream and forces more adrenaline into your heart.
It turns the synapses in your brain into ferrets on espresso that dash back and forth between the lobes and fires your mind on all of its cylinders.
It is visual cocaine, which is much healthier than actual cocaine and doesn't require a frequent visitor punch card for an eyes, ears, nose and throat doctor.
These are the shows that assault all five of the senses or less depending on how good of a health plan you've got.

NAU expansion could boot trailer park residents
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A Georgia company's plan to build multifamily housing
for Northern Arizona University students spells trouble for the residents of a
trailer park that occupies part of the site.
The Arizona Daily Sun reported that residents of
Arrowhead Village residents have been told the project now awaiting rezoning
approval by the city would force them out.
Andrew Young of Athens-based Landmark Properties said the rest estate company
is excited about the Flagstaff market and wants to construct two multistory
Residents said their trailers are too old to move and that the relocation money
mentioned wouldn't stretch far enough.
Flagstaff Vice Mayor Carol Evans said the trailer park's residents are some of
the most impoverished in the northern Arizona city.

Snyder And Capullo Explore Batman's Beginning In Batman: Zero Year
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are gearing up for another ambitious storyline. The duo that brought us The Court of Owls and Death of the Family are going back to the earliest years of Mr. Wayne to show us how it all began. An 11-issue arc kicking off this June in the pages of Batman #21 will show the untold details of the Dark Knight's origin withing the New 52 and how super rich Bruce Wayne became the Caped Crusader.
Snyder spoke with the Associated Press this morning to talk up the huge arc. He assured fans that key points of Batman's history will stay the same, such as his parents' death, and that the idea isn't to take apart Year One (Frank Miller and David Mazzuccheli's classic story). The writer touched on what we can expect:
It's not 'let's redo the origin.' It's time for a new story showing how Batman became who he is in the New 52. We tried to preserve as much of Batman's history as we could and keep what we could of this history intact. It's 'The Zero Year,' the one that no one has told the story of before. We see how Bruce became the Batman, built the cave, faced off with his first super villain … It's time for a new story showing how Batman became who he is in The New 52. It builds up the mythology.
We have our first look at Capullo's cover design courtesy of DC. This new storyline explains why the June Bat Family solicitations were delayed. If you follow Snyder on Twitter, you know he's said before that one of the next villains to be explored will be The Riddler. If you connect the puzzle pieces and read between the lines, it's a pretty safe bet this is going to be The Riddler story. A fresh-faced Batman going up against The Riddler Snyder gave us a glimpse of in Death of the Family sounds pretty exciting. What do you think about the Zero Year idea? Are you ready for Snyder and Capullo's next big trick?

Monster's Brawl Shirt from Hamburger Disco
Published January 23, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
I just got an email from a new t-shirt company based out of Vancouver, Canada. With their company, they wanted to celebrate two of their favorite things: hamburgers, and disco. From this information, maybe you can infer why they've named themselves Hamburger Disco.
Their style reminds me a lot of Johnny Cupcakes, but obviously with different subject matter. I chose this design, Monster's Brawl, for my first post from them because I love all the goofy things that are going on in it. I dig all the monster illustrations, and while it's obviously a very busy shirt, I think it looks great. It's King Kong, Godzilla and more all wrapped into one.
If you share my sentiments, you can pick up the design for $30.00 from their store. If you also like Hamburgers and Disco, you should check out the rest of their designs too.
Biggie Shirt from The Cooler Collective–Notorious B.I.G.
Published January 19, 2011 in Music T-Shirts Pop Culture T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
I posted up The Cooler Collective's awesome Kid Cudi shirt a little while back, and now they've come out with another shweet offering featuring none other than Biggie Smalls. It's in much the same style as the Cudi shirt, but goes with a white silhouette on a black shirt to mix it up a wee bit.
Notorious B.I.G. is another rapper I'm a big fan of (so unique!), so I obviously have some love for this shirt. Again, it's a great portrait, and the imperfect nature of the whole thing makes it super cool. The Cooler Collective has a few of these rapper portraits and seem to be releasing new ones, so expect to see more on troundup in the future.
If you wanna pick this one up, head on over to their store, where you can purchase it for $21 American dollars.
Blue Horde from 604 Republic–Zombie Smurfs
Published January 17, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
Yo–zombie Smurfs are hilarious. Zombie Smurfs on a t-shirt are thus wearable hilarity, making this shirt another success from 604 Republic (the dudes who had that awesome Mario shirt).
I don't know what happened in Smurfville (is that the proper nomenclature?) to cause such a tragic zombie outbreak, but things don't look good for the survivors defending their mushroom house. They're pretty well surrounded.
I think this shirt from 604 Republic is goofy and awesome, and if you agree with me you can pick it up for $19.95 from their store. You can also save 15% with a 604 Republic coupon–ain't that dandy?
P.S. I've been told I look like Jake Gyllenhaal (aka Donnie Darko). So, if you want to see a funny Smurf conversation involving me, check out this clip from the movie.
Clearance Sale from Fullbleed–A Bunch of Shirts for $8.00
Published January 12, 2011 in Excellent Design T-Shirts T-Shirt Sales T-Shirts. Comments (0)
I'm quite a bit late on posting this (gee wiz! That's a surprise), but I couldn't pass up the chance at letting everyone know about super cheap shirts from one of my favorite companies out there. Fullbleed is having a clearance sale for a bunch of last pressing designs, which means you can get some awesome (90% of Fullbleed's shirts rock–it's not like you're getting rejects) shirts for only $8.00.
I clicked around a bit and from what I can tell most of the designs are still in stock, although, as mentioned, I'm super late posting this. If you're interested (and you should be), head on over to the Fullbleed store and check it out.
P.S. How about that National Championship last night? Nothing like ending the game on an incredible fluke play (although it was legal). Just throwin' in a little sports talk, because ya know, it's 1:20 and I have no one else to talk to. I'm glad Auburn won, because unlike most people living outside Alabama, I like Cam Newton. He smiles when he plays, which is cool in my short, parenthetical paradise of a book.
I Spoon First Dates from People Like Me
Published January 8, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (1)
I dig this somewhat goofy, yet rather honest shirt from People Like Me! The world could use some more spooning, among a few other things. I'm not sure how it would play out on an actual first date, but I figure it's worth a try. Maybe you'll get some hot, steamy, spoon action.
You can pick this one up for $28.00 from People Like Me! Also, as they say in their product description…spooning can lead to forking (tehe (coy laugh)).
Teen Dream from Insound–Beach House NOT Katy Perry
Published January 3, 2011 in Music T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
A while ago I posted this idea of doing a wittily alliterative series of posts called "Music Mondays," which would feature me posting up a shirt from one of the bands I like every Monday. I've decided I want to bring this back. Now it won't necessarily be every Monday, and it might not even be on a Monday at all, but I'm going to do it. I like band shirts for two reasons: First, I get a lot of my music for free.99, so I want to at least give the band some merch money. Secondly, a lot of bands just have damn cool shirts. It's a win-win.
The first shirt (in a while) that I want to feature is Teen Dream, a shirt for the band Beach House. This is not Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, because that came after and kind of stole the name. It's Beach House, who has deservedly blown up with their most recent album. Favorite tracks of wine from Teen Dream include Used to Be, Take Care, and Zebra.
I think the shirt looks pretty damn cool too. A cool shirt for a cool band. You can pick the shirt up for $19.99 at Insound, which is a great company selling lots of merch/CD/vinyl. It's printed on American Apparel 50/50 shirt. I'm happy to be able to support Insound. They did that great 10 for 10 series of shirts I posted about, which contains another awesome Beach House shirt.
Rhino Hunter Tee from Sharp Shirter
Published January 2, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts Random T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)
I saw this shirt on Coty's favorite shirts of 2010 list and I had to post it up here. It's just super goofy, and I like that a lot. Green on purple looks cool, and maybe the rhino is getting a little Deer Hunter type revenge on poachers (so good for him!).
Sharp Shirter has a few quirky shirts like this; all of which come off well in my opinion. If you're interested, you can pick it up for $22.00 at Sharp Shirter. It's printed on American Apparel blanks.
Ring in the New Year With Some Hedonism from Headline Shirts
Published December 31, 2010 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)
It's New Years, once again giving everyone an excellent excuse to drink too much champagne and go just a bit crazy (and there's no better way to go crazy than releasing a few of your more hedonistic tendencies tonight). I like this shirt because I like the idea of a slightly-tweaked hedonism (even though it's acquired a nasty, negative connotation in society), and I like the simplicity.
You can pick this one up on sale for $15 at Headline Shirts. We've also got a coupon for your pleasure. I hope everyone has a very enjoyable night.
Also, I always include Headline Shirts own description of the shirt, because they're humorous and well written. Enjoy:
Well, well, well. Looks like we got ourselves a card-carrying member of the Hedonist Party! And speaking of party, why aren't we having one right now? If it feels good, do it — that's my philosophy! Let's start with a few words on Hedonism.
Webster's defines hedonism as the doctrine that pleasure is the sole good in life. The name derives from the Greek word for "delight." The philosopher Democritus is generally credited with–
Oh my God — snore! What is this, school? We should be eating filet mingon in shorts, or having sex while parasailing or something. This ain't exactly cuttin' it for me so I'm out. If anyone needs me, I'll be on a waterslide at a resort in Jamaica — not giving a crap about anything outside of my utopian acropolis. Peace!

For the sale, all their tees can be yours for just $15. In order to get the discount, just use the code "GOODBYEXMAS".

Introducing FaceLift Shirts
Published December 27, 2010 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
I just got an email from Prescott about a fairly new line called FaceLift shirts. The shirts are just like any other graphic tee, but with the added "lift" part of the shirt illustrated by the above images. It's an interesting/goofy twist on the graphic shirt, and it also gives you an excuse to show off your awesome six pack (or undershirt), so win-win.
They've got a bunch of different designs, such as the Nerd or the Surfer, but I think my favorite is the one featured. Clowns are super creepy, so when you lift the shirt it's a creep-tastic surprise for whoever (no m, right?) you're with.
The shirts will cost about $22.00, and they're printed on recycled, organic cotton which Prescott describes as some of the softest tees ever, which I'm all about. Go check 'em out.

Online demo: Quick' n Easy Portlets using the Sun Java Studio Creator 2
From elevator hacks to something more connected to my work.I was recently asked to create a quick presentation on how to use the Sun Java Studio Creator 2 to create JSR 168 portlets.
You might find it useful too. You can check it out here: Quick' n Easy Portlets using the Sun Java Studio Creator 2( I used wink to create the demo. It's an awesome tool !)
Portlets built using Creator 2 are JSF based. Creator 2 also bundles Pluto,
the JSR 168 reference implementation. Pluto is used as the runtime to test the portlets.
Creator 2 certainly looks promising for portlet development. You can download Creator currently in Early Access from here: Sun Java Studio Creator
Recently Howard M. Lewis Ship, the creator of Jakarta Tapestry, brought to my attention that Tapestry 4.0 has incorporated full native support for JSR 168 portlets. Have not tried it out myself, but from the docs and some tidbits I got from Howard, looks like a neat implementation. Tapestry 4.0 is currently in a late beta stage. You can get it from the Tapestry site
