Welcome to Warren Street Studios!
We are a brand new multi-disciplinary arts collective in Central London; facilitating creative collaborations between emerging international artists from the worlds of film, theatre, comedy, music and visual art.
Warren Street Studios was conceived by Alex Marx (Artistic Director and a London-born actor, writer and director) in partnership with his longstanding friend Rupert Ratcliffe (Managing Director, property entrepreneur and a London-born actor).
"We want to develop work that will give ambitious artists the opportunity to connect in a synergetic way, and in doing so create truly collaborative work. Warren Street Studios aspires to provide artists with a forum to display their work in an incredibly central and innovative space." Rupert Ratcliffe, Managing Director
Our inaugural production – Permanence – is a raw and provocative new play by American writer Cyd Casados – directed by Marx – starring Christien Anholt (whose international career in stage, film and television spans over three decades) and Canadian rising star Samantha Michelle.
Set in a painter's studio in Brooklyn during the late 90s, the play charts the push and pull of a modern relationship; probing deep at the themes of sex, art and addiction.
"Working in London's most intimate theatre and developing the show over a period of months has afforded us the chance to work in a highly naturalistic and honest style; giving the actors a chance to focus on intimacy, truth and depth in performance." Alex Marx, Director
Permanence features select paintings by Robi Walters – as well as original music by Alexander Teller.
Permanence runs July 14 – 26th (7:30pm Tues – Sat, 4pm Sun)

President Obama has lost more than the midterm election. He has lost his moral and political legitimacy. On Tuesday, voters repudiated Mr. Obama's socialist policies. The Democrats lost the House of Representatives in a
historic landslide. The GOP picked up at least 60 seats. In the Senate, the Democratic majority has been substantially reduced. The liberal governing agenda is dead.
Mr. Obama misread his 2008 electoral mandate. The president embarked upon erecting a European entitlement state. Rather than fixing the economy, he chose the path of personal glory - and hubris: cementing his reputation as the most radical president in U.S. history.
Mr. Obama's presidency is a watershed. He is a revolutionary who has openly called for transformative change. And the history books will show that during the first few years of his administration, he - at least temporarily - accomplished it.
His $814 billion stimulus was a radical experiment in neo-Keynesianism. The federal government essentially has nationalized the auto sector, the insurance industry, the banking system and the student loan business. Financial regulatory reform has enshrined "too big to fail," making bailouts a permanent feature of the economy. The Environmental Protection Agency ruled that carbon is a "pollutant," paving the way for massive environmental regulations on industry and manufacturing. It achieves the seminal goal of "cap-and-trade" - reducing carbon emissions and driving up the costs of energy use - through the back door.
In addition, public spending accounts for 25 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Mr. Obama's trillion-dollar budget deficits are burying America under a mountain of red ink. The national debt is approaching 100 percent of GDP - a level from which no nation can recover. We are on the verge of bankruptcy.
In short, Mr. Obama has left his progressive mark. Many liberals will look back upon the first half of his term as a kind of golden age - the culmination of New Deal-Great Society liberalism. The Democratic Party has been captured by post-1960s radicals and ideological fanatics.
However, in the face of a humiliating defeat, Democratic leaders are unable - and unwilling - to admit they need to change course. In Wednesday's news conference, Mr. Obama stubbornly insisted that his key decisions had been "tough" but "right." The White House spin is that voters were frustrated with the ailing economy and the slow pace of recovery. True - to some extent.
But what the electorate understands - and Mr. Obama does not - is that his policies have made things much worse. Stimulus spending not only failed to keep unemployment below 8 percent. It has been a massive boondoggle, a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. It has mortgaged the future of our children and led to skyrocketing deficits. The burdensome mandates of Obamacare, impending huge tax increases and the overregulation of the financial sector have frightened business and chased away investment capital. The private sector, the engine of growth and jobs, has been stifled by big-government liberalism. The results are increased unemployment, the specter of high inflation and the onset of economic stagnation.
The nation is losing hope. Mr. Obama inherited a recession and turned it into a depression. Once again, liberalism has been disastrous.
Yet Mr. Obama will not tack to the center - as Bill Clinton did in the wake of the 1994 Republican revolution. The comrade in chief is an ideologue who is determined to cement his legislative accomplishments. He will dig in his heels and repulse every GOP attempt to scale back his progressive-regulatory state. Along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, he will defend his legacy at all costs. He will not allow Obamacare to be repealed - or even substantially modified. Spending will not be slashed. Runaway deficits will not be curtailed. Bailout nation will live on.
Hence, Mr. Obama is destined to be a one-term president. He knows this. And he doesn't care. As he told an interviewer early on in his term, he would rather be a "great one-term president" than a "mediocre two-term" president. By "great," Mr. Obama means one who imposes utopian socialism.
The great truth of liberalism - something Mr. Obama, Mr. Reid and Nancy Pelosi grasp all too well - is that politics can influence and shape culture. Liberalism fosters a culture of dependency and victimization. It champions state power as the ultimate source of human fulfillment. In essence, faith in government replaces faith in God.
The great truth of conservatism, on the other hand, is that culture matters more than politics. But this has made conservatives ultimately weak in confronting big government. The Republicans have vowed - and failed - to roll back every great expansion of the welfare state. The New Deal was preserved. The Great Society, although nibbled at the edges, remains intact. The question is: Can the resurgent Republicans finally do to Mr. Obama what they were unable to do to Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson?
Mr. Obama is betting no - and will stake his presidency on it. As a result, voters likely will have to finish in 2012 the task they have just begun: ending this historic assault on American institutions.

I've been doing readings for a relationship over the past two months and I've gotten the 8 of cups over and over again in the "final outcome" position of the Celtic Cross spread. The other cards change, the 8 of cups stays the same. I'm using the Thoth deck and trying to figure out what the message is.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Re: 8 of cups in same position again and again, help with interpretation?Tue, August 15, 2006 - 4:27 PMWell, according to the 'Collins Gem Tarot' book by Rowenna Stuart....
"The upright eight of cups suggests that, in spite of stability and security, the Querant is likely to be dissatisfied with his current life and is drawn towards new pastures and challenges. Underpinning this is a yearning for a greater understanding of his inner self and the need to find a deeper meaning to his life. This may lead to a rejection of existing, unfufilling relationships, ways of thinking and lifestyles and the start of a new period of personal growth."
Key words: lifestyle changes, personal development.
When the card is ill-defined...
it points to recklessly pursuing an uncertain future, abandoning things of value for what may be little more than a fantasy. It serves as a warning against making major lifestyle changes at the time.
Since the Thoth deck does not support upside down cards as being 'ill-defined', I generally take a look at the other cards surrounding or proceeding the final outcome card. Lots of other cup cards, or sword cards would mean that the card is well-defined. Lots of wand cards (the opposite of cups) might mean that the card is ill-defined.
Since you are using the Celtic Cross spread, it seems that the eight of cups is the 'Final outcome'. The interpretation of the eight of cups has a lot to do with the cards that preceed it. This is especially true of the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th card.
The 6th card represents future influences. This is something that will soon be brought to bear on the querant's life. This is sort of like the domino that gets things going.
The 7th card demonstrates how the querant feels about their current situation.
Since the 8 of cups shows an end to stagnation and the beginning of a cycle of change, the 7th card represents the thing, situation, or feeling that will be changed.
The 8th card represents Home and environment. This is how the querant influences the people around her...family, friends, work environment, etc. Depending on what this card reads, this could also be the thing subject to change.
The 9th card represents Inner Emotions. These are the querant's hopes and fears. These might serve as a guide to what sorts of changes are going to happen, since people move towards their hopes and dreams, and move away from the things they fear.
Of course, to understand the spread properly you have to look at it holistically. Every card in the spread measures up against the 'final outcome' 10th card.
Lots of face cards (King, Queen, page, etc.) in a spread generally indicates people in the Querant's life.
Lots of Major Arcana signs (The Sun, The Chariot, etc.) point to influences beyond the Querant's control.
Lots of cups signify emotions, lots of Swords the Intellect, lots of coins are money, lots of wands are work/ career.
Generally, my interepretation would be that either the Querant will become bored of the relationship and find something/ someone else....OR this new relationship will take the Querant in a new direction.
To gain greater clarification of the 8 of cups card...try doing another spread by using the 8 of cups as a querant. Note what kind of cards come up. Face cards might indicate that the querant will find someone new, wands might indicate a new career, etc. Pay particular attention to any face cards that might come up....as they generally represent people.
Re: 8 of cups in same position again and again, help with interpretation?Tue, August 15, 2006 - 7:46 PMThank you James, that was very helpful. I don't generally focus only on one card in a spread, it was just a strange thing to notice that when I read for this situation over months, that was the card that came up over and over in the same position.
I will do the reading with the 8 of cups as querent and see what messages I get, thank you for the suggestion!
Re: 8 of cups in same position again and again, help with interpretation?Wed, November 22, 2006 - 3:05 PMAny new results? Did you consider that the relationship is simply stifling and stagnant in so far as your energetic contribution is concerned? The eight of cups signifies the Lord of Indolence. There is no other interpretation available, hence the card continually winds up in the same location even over the course of several months. If you haven't done so already, it's definately time to move on to something else.
Re: 8 of cups in same position again and again, help with interpretation?Fri, September 19, 2008 - 2:44 AMAn interesting card, Cetus constellation. Dione Fortune has a short commentary for the initiated. Every card has two meanings, one for the general public and the other for the initiate. Most people do not know that there is tarot initiation.
Re: 8 of cups in same position again and again, help with interpretation?Wed, October 15, 2008 - 11:29 PMHi Chia....eight of cups is telling you to evaluate this situation/relationship; unconsciously. There may be hidden or private nuances which to its' significance; are overseen for usually the obvious reasons (either we do not accept/understand that... it is what it is) .
Best of luck fellow sister...hope these two cents clear the way a bit;
blessed be, vercifyr
Re: 8 of cups in same position again and again, help with interpretation?Thu, October 16, 2008 - 4:27 PMThanks, the relationship in question ended shortly thereafter, it's been more than two years and sometimes it still stings.

Christina Kotsia led the 49ers with a hat-trick in the 9-7 loss to UCSD.
April 11, 2013
LA JOLLA, Calif. - The ninth-ranked Long Beach State women's water polo team couldn't stop UCSD's Alexis Wieseler as she netted a game-high four goals to lead the seventeenth-ranked Tritons to a 9-7 upset victory over the 49ers Friday night at the Canyonview Pool. Christina Kotsia led LBSU with another hat-trick and Coriann Snyder chipped in with two.
The loss tonight snapped a five-game winning streak for Long Beach State. The Beach last lost at UC San Diego back in 2011, 9-8.
With the eight saves tonight against the Tritons, Kelly Ringel moves up to the ninth spot on the single-season saves list.
Julia Kirkland got the Tritons (19-12, 6-0 WWPA) off to a quick start scoring on their first possession but the 49ers (22-5, 3-2 Big West) would take the 2-1 in the first thanks to Kotsia.
Kotsia then extended the LBSU lead to 3-1 before Jolene Guiliana found the back of the net. Both squads would go back-and-forth exchanging goals with Coriann Snyder giving the 49ers a 5-4 lead at the 33 seconds mark but Sarah Lizzotte shot a bullet cross cage past Ringel to make it five all at the break.
Long Beach State eventually converted on the offensive end on Snyder's rocket from five-meters out to make it 6-5 in favor of LBSU.
Ringel made a crucial save for the 49ers halfway through the third frame on Melissa Bartow's backhanded shot in set.
The Tritons then took their first lead of the game with 24 seconds remaining behind Wiesler's shot on the counterattack to make it 7-6 UCSD heading into the final period.
Kotsia had a chance to bring The Beach within one on a breakaway counterattack but was denied by UCSD's Courtney Miller. The Tritons then tacked on two more goals in the fourth to secure the 9-7 upset victory over the ninth-ranked 49ers.
Miller finished with 13 saves on the night for UC San Diego.
The 49ers return home Sunday, April 14, for their second to last conference match against No. 13 UC Santa Barbara for a 12 p.m. sprint.

"The bad guys are winning, and they know it."
That's what the owner of Meridian's Le'Maxim Salon Valerie Mize has to say about the city's ever increasing crime problem, and she knows firsthand. Sometime Friday night, someone threw a rock through the door of her salon, and then ransacked and robbed it. She says this isn't the first time something like this has happened, so she has protection.
"We have an alarm system. We have protection in a sense in our salon to protect our customers and employees, but is it enough?"
Unfortunately her alarm didn't go off Friday night, and thieves made off with cash deposits from the safe. While she's still in shock over what happened, anger has started to settle in, and now she's questioning whether or not small businesses in town, including her own, are here to stay.
"We feel violated, and then we feel mad, because as business owners we're here to support this city and provide a service to this community, but yet it's being taken away, so we feel very angry at this point because there's no support for small business owners, and we feel just a point of disappointment."
Mize says that while the police department is trying to do their job, they need something more, so she's sending out a message to all small business owners in Meridian.
"Small business owners in this city need to rally together somehow and create a force to be reckoned with."

Brief history....
I found this site about a year ago. Quickly motivated me to return to the bike...bought a new Trek 7.3 FX. I listened to people say "you may as well just get a road bike, you're going to love the speed". I went ahead with the hybrid and started out strong. Inevitably I started to want a roadie as predicted. I already had invested in SPD pedals and shoes, biking shorts, gloves, helmet...I was on the way. In July I purchased a high dollar carbon roadie.....and rode. My distances went up and the exercise was nice. In the meantime I was at the gym on the stationary bike and logging miles on the treadmill too. I absorbed all the info the magazines offered, watched nearly every minute of "LeTour" and even had a great time in Missouri watching the final stages of the ToM with the family.
So, off-season was all gym work...maintained weight loss. Two weeks ago it all came to a halt. My good friend and neighbor was tragically taken when hit by a car training(running) for the Indy Mini Marathon. He was running on the exact road that I always took on my long rides. I know accidents happen...and you can't fight fate....I've run through all that. But I'm still at the point that as much as I enjoy the roadie, I'll never love it enough to feel good about the car vs. human confrontation. I know I'm still reluctant because the incident is so fresh...and incredibly hard to take, but every time I think about the potential risk vs. reward of riding on public highways, I want to have nothing to do with a road bike again.
So that leads me to this......I still run and ride at the gym, but miss the outdoor experience that the bike offered. I've made up my mind..I'm selling the roadie and will not quit entirely. I have the great fortune of living near miles of bike/walking paths 15 minutes from my home. I have only seen a couple roadies on these paths as they tend to have just enough other traffic on them that a clipped in road bike just isn't practical. I want to supplement my gym workouts and have been looking at hybrids again, but to be quite honest, am not all that fired up to have to get "dressed up" to ride if I want. I think I've had it with roadie seats, clip pedals and geometry issues and want to ride a bike for fun again...sometimes spontaneously.
I've looked at hard tail mountain bikes..but the tires don't lend themselves as well to bike paths. I've looked at comfort bikes(like the LIme) but I'm still pretty active and those seem more "cruiseriffic" to me. Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation? I'll be honest, I want to be able to leave work, go to the park, unload the bike and ride..no padded shorts or special gear. That said, I'm still not wanting a 99.00 department store bike. I've looked into the Trek SU2 and the Cannondale Bad Boy. I think I'm better off with the comfort of 26" tires rather than 700's, but I don't think suspended mountain bikes are the answer either.
Thanks for the patience, and I look forward to any help you have.

When Ben Folds Five takes the stage this weekend in Chapel Hill, the concert will be part reunion, part farewell, and totally sold out.
The 810 tickets for the general public sold out in two minutes.
Another 630 tickets were available for students, who began lining up nearly two days before the tickets went on sale until earlier this month. Those sold out in about two hours.
Saturday's concert marks the first time the trio will play together since they opened for Weezer in Tokyo in 1999. Ben Folds Five disbanded in October 2000 after recording four albums. They didn't realize that the overseas gig would be the band's last.
Ben Folds Five will perform "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner," their 1999 release, in its entirety.

Americans would love to see — just once — a president step before a January microphone and notify Congress and all the happy peasants watching on TV: "The state of the union is abysmal, and I am to blame." Alas, the chances of President Obama muttering that confession on Tuesday night are about as remote as Republicans selecting their oldest, ugliest member of Congress to deliver the GOP's response.
The State of the Union address is one of the most shallow and mundane tasks any president undertakes, in my view. Obama performs better when the stage is set by recent circumstances, not by tradition. In Tucson, for example, he seized control of a tragedy and coaxed a wounded country back toward a higher belief in itself (if only temporarily). Tuesday night, we probably should set the bar a little lower.
Through the years I have witnessed umpteen "State of the …" speeches. Each time, the government seems to be in better shape than my attitude. Perhaps it's because the speeches are so predictable. Maybe it's because my standards are different. I happen to believe the greatest speech ever was the rain-drenched eulogy Clark Griswold delivered at Aunt Edna's makeshift funeral in "National Lampoon's Vacation." Whatever, I'm not expecting to be impressed Tuesday evening.
My recommendation for listening to a "State of the … " speech is to take special note of anything meaningful that is said. This does not include playing-the-crowd platitudes, the likes of which Gov. Chris Gregoire unleashed in her Jan. 11 "State of the State" address: "First of all, here's to being the home of the 2010 WNBA champions, the Seattle Storm! And how about those University of Washington Huskies! … And here's to the Eastern Washington University Eagles! … And how about those Seahawks on Saturday! … Never doubt our players!"
Trust me, Chris, I've followed the Seahawks for eight years. Every time they strap on helmets, I doubt them.
By anything meaningful in these speeches, I mean specific recommendations. Gregoire's speech was 3,272 words. By my unofficial count she proffered eight ideas: Repeal a 1995 law giving automatic benefit increases to state retirees. Improve health care by partnering with the Center of Innovation at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Reduce the number of boards and commissions. Cut unemployment insurance and worker's compensation rates to help businesses. Consolidate eight state education agencies into one. Establish a $1 billion Washington Pledge Scholarship Program. Create a regional ferry district. And contract more government services to the private sector.
Don't get me wrong, Gregoire is a brilliant orator. But tiresome bromides such as "This is not the first difficult time in our history, nor will it be the last" and "We are the proud people of the great State of Washington" likely won't be etched onto any monument.
Rivers' recommendations
The Republicans' response to Gregoire's speech was issued by rookie state Rep. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, who also performed admirably, though predictably. Rivers' speech was 1,548 words and (again, by my unofficial count), she made four specific recommendations: Reform worker's compensation and unemployment insurance rates (sound familiar?). Reduce the state's rules and regulations. Streamline permitting processes. And improve transportation infrastructure (although she didn't say how).
But, admittedly, I was a tough judge. "Prioritize" and "We can do better, and we must do better" didn't make the final cut on my list of recommendations.
The decades-long record of routine, cliché-packed "State of the …" addresses likely won't be broken Tuesday night, although if anyone can shatter routine, Obama surely can. The only big news I'm anticipating is how the Cooties Factor plays out. Several members of Congress who belong to opposing parties have promised to sit together, despite whatever partisan germs might spread from seat to seat. This bold, conciliatory move will alter the course of American history about as powerfully as … let's see … remember Hands Across America in 1986?

Rockies blow 4-run lead in 9-6 loss to Giants
SAN FRANCISCO When Juan Nicasio walked the first two batters in the sixth inning, what appeared to be a safe lead quickly disappeared for the Colorado Rockies.
Brandon Crawford started San Francisco's rally with a three-run homer and Angel Pagan added a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning to lead the Giants to their eighth straight win over the Colorado Rockies, 9-6 on Tuesday night.
"Juan had a clean fifth so I ran him out there in the sixth and he walks the first two guys. I think he got tired quickly in the sixth," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "After that we couldn't piece it together. The Giants just keep coming. They won a championship playing like that. They string together a lot of good at-bats, there are a lot of tough outs over there. We couldn't shut them down."
Hunter Pence had a pair of RBI singles and Pagan and Marco Scutaro each had three hits for the Giants, who won despite another rough start by former ace Tim Lincecum.
Lincecum walked three batters, including the pitcher, and threw a wild pitch that helped lead to a five-run second inning for Colorado. But he settled down after that, staying in the game for four more innings, and then watched his teammates rally for the win.
"You have to feel good after the team wins, especially coming back from the hole I put them in there in the second inning," Lincecum said. "I feel good about that. But I'm going back to the chalkboard after every start and going into refining mode and trying to fix the errors. That second inning really was a doozy for me."
Dexter Fowler and Josh Rutledge each drove in two runs in the second inning, and Troy Tulowitzki added a solo homer off Lincecum to help the Rockies build a 6-2 lead.
But the Giants scored four runs in the sixth to tie the game and then won it in the eighth against Matt Belisle (0-1).
"We're tired of it and ready to keep battling," Belisle said. "Yesterday was a good effort and today doesn't taste so good. I'm not worried about what we've done or what we've not done in the past. This is a new team, with a fresh start."
Pinch-hitter Andres Torres started the winning rally with a double to right field and Pagan followed with a single up the middle that almost hit Belisle in the face.
Pablo Sandoval and Gregor Blanco added RBI singles to give the Giants insurance.
Santiago Casilla (1-0) pitched a perfect eighth for the win and Sergio Romo got three outs for his fifth save.
Nicasio walked Gregor Blanco and Hector Sanchez to start the sixth. That ended his night after 95 pitches, marking the 110th straight game a Rockies starter has failed to reach the 100-pitch mark.
Adam Ottavino came in and allowed Crawford's second career homer at AT&T Park, a rare opposite-field shot in a noted pitchers' park.
"I fell behind 2-0, we had a four-run lead, so I tried to challenge him," Ottavino said. "I wasn't trying to be too fine. He put a good swing on it. I've had success against him in the past, especially away. When he hit it I was going to back up third. It surprised me when it went out."
The Giants then loaded the bases with one out before Belisle relieved and allowed a tying single by Pence that gave him 1,000 career hits. Belisle escaped the jam without further damage when he got Brandon Belt to hit into an inning-ending double play.

It is evident that the popularity of YouTube is continuing to grow. However, it proves that this media portal hasn't practically changed from the moment of its origin.
It has been announced in tabloids that the Hulu will soon launch Hulu Plus, a subscription service. The user will have to pay $10 per month if he wants to get access to its full shows archive. Free access will give the possibility to watch 5 most recent episodes of each show.
The same rumours were spread concerning YouTube subscription services last year. Meanwhile, the site decided to make paid access to some of its media materials. This policy concerned primarily traditional classics such as MacGyver and Star Trek and included video rental services to this list.
There is such a feeling now that the site is going away from its premium content. At the very beginning of YouTube's existence the major accent was made on its shows and movies – in other words on its premium content. But right at the moment this portal offers only popular stuff and everything what is advised.
In comparison with Hulu which proposes its subscription services, which is aimed at making money, and as a result is always under huge pressure concerning the quality of its content – YouTube doesn't face such problems.

Overpriced for a grossly overgrown parking lot. Bath house is in need of major renovation. Wi-Fi was nonexistent. Price is with Good Sam card. Would we stay again? NO! - Teacher's Pet

Park is located behind a gas station which is convenient and an older motel with a convenience store. We were not told on check in that the water must be boiled in order to use it, but thankfully the neighbors told us. Park was dirt and the only two spots with rigs were in the mud while other dry places were available. Trash around the dumpster and an old mattress laying there too. Looks as though people in the back in spots are there long term and some had lots of things outside so it looked trashy. We would bookdock rather than stay here again. - rolling homeless

This is a nice campground in the trees near the river that has two loops. It is about 3 km off of the highway down a road that can be confusing if you miss the signs. For $20 you also get free firewood which was damp but burnt OK. There is a nice cook shack and trail down to the river. The site are gravel and fairly level. - sAws

At the end of a tiring day we drove back the gravel road to this regional park. It was Victoria Day Weekend and the camp was almost full. Many sites were either occupied or "reserved". We found one empty and backed in. I took a walk to unwind and found the water pump down by the river, with a sign that said "Boil 5 minutes before drinking." No thanks, our tank was full. The nice host came around to collect and sell firewood. Every site has trees, a table, and fire ring. Nice little camp, good enough for an overnight. On the way out next morning I noticed several RV's boondocking in the gravel pits and pull-outs along the access road. - hoz49

Nice people. A quiet place. It could use better upkeep and cleaning up. They make their own power so the power goes off at about 9 pm as does the Wi-Fi. It was a nice quiet stay for the night. The homemade bread was incredible. Worth the stop just for that. - luckyrver

Located about 75 miles north of Ft Nelson, this was an ok overnight spot. Very basic park, heavily wooded with good spacing of sites. They are on generator which goes until 10, then no power until early morning. Wifi was very limited and apparently someone was downloading too much, so they shut it down. We were given no instructions about limited usage which would have been helpful. I think we caught the woman at the desk on a bad day because she was quite the grump the whole time we were there. - alm

Doesn't amount to much. We had a pull through that was suppose to have hook ups (ones we didn't want). Well you couldn't reach them because they were at least a 100' away. They put us in a site with trees. It would have been nice enough, but the limbs hung down below our roof. I had to get on the roof and lift the limbs so we could get in and out. Showers and restrooms didn't look inviting at all. Cinnamon biscuits were good, but not worth $5 each. The wife and I split one. I would go down the road t next time. - Snake River Kid
Jun 2013 - $19.00
In the middle of nowhere (between towns), but a nice wooded area with passable sites and electric and water. But the electric is on generator only during the day. Wi-Fi worked for my good computer, but weak for my wife's. Very friendly people and excellent cinnamon buns - with cute "star trek" advertising signs on highway. High priced gas if you really needed it. We would stay there again if we did not need to dump. They were talking about selling or closing, after three generations in the same family. - Citellus

The campground had solid WiFi in the front areas although it does not work with Windows 10. Sites were in a circle pattern in the back which gave some separation between campsites. The pull throughs are long and the location was pretty good for the area. The office people were super nice, they have a cute little restaurant, and a nice little store. - Lee and Trace
Aug 2015 - $34.00
Convenient to the Alaska Highway. Many services available at Fort St. John. Restaurant and gift shop onsite. Laundromat was adequate. Gravel sites were level, but not laid out very well. Sewer connection for site next to us was less than 5 feet from the door to our RV. Nice grassy areas to walk dogs. - americanrascal
Jul 2015 - $1.00
Do not know the rate as we stayed here as part of a prepaid caravan. The park was grassy with nice trees. We had a backin site near the back of park which was quite large for Alcan Highway parks. The owner escorted us to our site and was quite nice. There was another caravan in the same night and the park was busy and full.
There is a restaurant and bar on site with a wonderful deck area. We had a couple of beers and watched the activity/madness of the caravans attempting to get everyone situated (this was the first nite of our caravan). We stayed the day before Canada day and the gift shop was selling all Canada souvenirs at half price. - lyzzards

text: AudioVault TheEC: Logitek/Enco AoIP System Installation By Aaron Read • Oct 26, 2015 Aaron Read RIPR Our new Logitek Audio-over-IP (AoIP) mix console system, and its accompanying ENCO automation system, is in the process of being installed. We'll have some on-site visits starting Nov.2nd and the big changeover will be the week of Nov. 16th. TheEC: We Are Watching ALL the Things By Aaron Read • Apr 13, 2015 Aaron Read RIPR Thanks to a recent major grant that RIPR applied for and received, we have added several 40-inch LCD TV screens to Studio A, our "air studio". Four total, plus a fifth existing LCD TV. So we can watch ALL the things!!! TheEC: New Production Studio By Aaron Read • Sep 2, 2014 Aaron Read RIPR Late last week I was very happy to execute the final changeover to RIPR's new PRODUCTION STUDIO. This is a big deal for us; our studios were originally designed and constructed by WBUR, way back in the late 1990's when they owned RIPR (then just "WRNI") outright, and most of the "back office" personnel were still located in Boston. Accordingly, we only have one "studio". It's two connected rooms: a "control room" with the usual mix board, producer's station, director's station, etc...and a "mic booth" with just a trio of mics. The idea was that a lot of the day-to-day, off-air, production work was happening up in Boston, where WBUR had four main studios and seven edit booths. So the workload on RIPR's end would be pretty light. Fast-forward to 2007 and now we're an independent news radio station with nine news staff and a ton of daily production needs. Yet only one studio to do it in! AAAAAHHHH!!! Scheduling conflicts were rampant. TheEC: $18 Million Dollar Typos By Aaron Read • Mar 18, 2014 This time on The Engineer's Corner, I want to look back three weeks ago, and look back over fifty years ago. And how little typos can have a big impact when it comes to engineering.

I read your story about your new game. It seems really cool that it is going to have 5 different stories to your game, but how are you going to have the time to finish such a game? It seems like you have a lot of experience in making games. Before seeing your game I was wondering if I should put my Pokemon Nightime version on the web. After seeing such a game like yours I wonder if I should even put a game like mine on the web....

No One Saw This Coming From Amber Heard
'Ugly Betty' Recap: 'Rabbit Test'

Google Plus
Stumble Upon
Oh, how the tables have turned on "
Ugly Betty
." Wilhelmina rides the subway to work, and Daniel takes the bus while Betty arrives in a limo (courtesy of her rich boyfriend). And yes, Wilhelmina and Daniel look about as traumatized by those experiences as you'd imagine.
Things have taken a turn for the worse at Mode. All the hope and promise that was established in the last episode has been tossed out the window. Come to find out, Mode's "Sex Issue" completely bombed, and the company is running out of viable financial resources. Daniel and Wilhelmina are now low on their personal cash to bail out the company too. So Betty arrives at work to discover office furniture being sold off and leased office items being returned. As she is processing the company's bleak outlook, she receives a chic package from The Hartley Charitable Foundation - that's Hartley, as in her boyfriend, Matt Hartley. Apparently Matt's Dad, Cal Hartley (a Richard Branson type "billionaire, philanthropist, and entrepreneur"), hosts this fancy Easter egg hunt at a museum every year. It's a super exclusive event to which only the crème de la crème of New York society are invited. When the invitation first arrives at Mode, Daniel assumes that it is for him, and he is thrilled. He's never been invited to the Hartley Easter Egg Hunt! His excitement soon fades when he realizes that it's Betty, and not he, who has landed the invite. What's more, Betty's family in Queens has been invited as well.
As Betty starts researching Cal Hartley on the Internet, she grows increasingly nervous. After everything went so badly with meeting Matt's mom, she hopes to leave a better impression with his dad. This extravagant egg hunt seems like a high-pressure situation for meeting her boyfriend's father. She keeps reading and eventually comes across an intriguing quote from Cal Hartley. He has publicly mentioned that he sees media companies, and particularly the magazine business, as strong areas for investment. The sentence stops Betty and Daniel in their tracks. If Cal Hartley came on board as an investor, he could save Mode! Confident that Matt will help her, Betty agrees to set up a meeting between Daniel and Hartley. Daniel and Betty are giddy from this new ray of hope.
Matt quickly brings Betty back down to Earth though. He stands totally opposed to the idea of his dad meeting with Daniel. He reminds Betty that everyone wants to meet with his father (including four former presidents). Then he gives a seemingly half-hearted excuse about not wanting to mix his personal life with his dad's business ventures.
Betty is understandably disappointed but has to abide by Matt's wishes. She goes home where her own father suggests that she simply explain the situation to Daniel. But when she gets to work the next morning, she discovers that Daniel has been up all night working on a presentation for his meeting with Cal Hartley (the meeting that she now knows will never happen). Daniel's already brought in Marketing, Sales, and various departments to help with the investment proposal. The revelation rattles Betty, and she immediately loses the nerve to tell Daniel the truth. She offers him some vague encouragement and thus implies that Matt agreed to arrange the meeting.
Of course, it isn't long before the truth catches up with Betty. Matt drops by Mode, hoping to take her to lunch and make up for not scheduling the meeting. Betty panics. She can't let Daniel see Matt! After some crazy antics, trying to keep the two men apart, Daniel finally spots Matt and makes a beeline toward him. Naturally, what's the first thing Daniel does? He thanks Matt for arranging the meeting with his father.
Despite how cringe-inducing this moment is, Betty resolves the whole thing surprisingly quickly. She explains to a puppy-eyed Matt that she didn't have the heart to crush Daniel with the news that there would be no Cal Hartley meeting. And she tells Daniel that she believed she could change Matt's mind about the meeting, which is why she lied. Both guys must have a lot of faith in Betty because they get over their respective grievances pretty quickly. Daniel tells her that he will come up with another plan to save Mode. But he and Wilhelmina soon discern that they have only one option: start laying off employees.
Speaking of Wilhelmina, she's got her own storyline going on here. After a home photo shoot, the photographer remarks that her baby looks nothing like her. In fact, he suggests, baby William is the spitting image of Wilhelmina's surrogate mother Christina (who is currently acting as nanny until Wilhelmina can find a replacement). This gets the wheels turning in Willy's head… Is she absolutely positive that William is hers? Marc doesn't exactly assuage her concerns when he admits that he can't see any of her or Bradford Meade in the baby. A doctor confirms that if Christina had sex around the time that the egg was implanted, then the baby might not be Wilhelmina's.
So Wilhelmina starts freaking out. Little William must be hers - otherwise, she will lose her share in Meade Publications.
She sets Marc to determining whether or not Christina had sex around the time of William's conception. This leads to Marc and Amanda trying to get Christina to do a magazine sex IQ quiz over lunch. With pointed questions about whether or not she likes to have sex in JUNE, Christina quickly figures out what is going on. As it happens, she and her husband did have sex right before the egg implantation procedure… So there's a chance that William could be hers. (Uh, she never considered this before?) Oh, and we actually get to see her husband, Stuart, for a second. He's looking much better than when we saw him last. The expensive experimental treatments (which were the reason Christina became a surrogate in the first place) seem to be working. He and Christina seem a little excited at the thought that William could be theirs.
Meanwhile, Daniel and Wilhelmina have begun handing out pink slips at Mode. Even Amanda gets laid off (which you already know will only last for, like, two seconds because the show is not getting rid of Amanda). Betty is horrified. She confronts Daniel who says that he had no choice. They have to cut their payroll if they plan to stay afloat. With a renewed sense of purpose, Betty determines to get Daniel that meeting with Cal Hartley. As she heads off to the Hartley Easter Egg Hunt, she drags Daniel along with her.
At the big event, Matt promptly introduces Betty and her family to his dad. Cal Hartley seems like your average rich guy with an okay personality. He unnerves Betty for a second when he says that he heard things did not go well between Matt's mother and Betty. But, as it happens, Cal Hartley likes Betty all the more for having displeased his ex-wife. With this encounter under their belts, the small group quickly disbands to mingle and hunt for eggs. Betty then tiptoes off to the kitchen where Daniel is waiting, disguised as a server.
Betty doesn't make it far as she tries to sneak Daniel into the festivities. Security quickly stops them, but before Daniel can be bounced out of the party, Matt intercedes. He's got that puppy dog look again, like he's disappointed with Betty, but she explains that Mode employees have started losing their jobs. She couldn't just forget about them and go hunt Easter eggs. She emphasizes that it would really mean a lot to her if he would arrange a meeting between his dad and Daniel. This argument finally wears down Matt. Pulling his father and Daniel aside, he makes the long-awaited introduction.
So Hartley and Daniel wander off to talk. Daniel keeps trying to launch into his spiel on the magazine business and why investing in Mode would be profitable to Hartley. But Hartley keeps talking about "the kids" at the Easter Egg Hunt and how it's all about "the kids…" It seems that the person who was supposed to play Flopsy the Bunny flaked out at the last second. Now they have a giant pink bunny costume but no one to play the part. Hartley suggests that Daniel don the bunny suit to make the kids happy. Then perhaps they can talk business.
In the meantime, Betty has gone to find Matt. He looks a little sad still but understands why Betty did what she did. He just did not want to see Betty and/or Mode in business dealings with his dad because - and it's now that Daniel hops into the party in his pink bunny suit - Matt says his dad is (and I quote) "like Satan." Betty watches as a bunch of snotty kids shove Daniel into a giant pastel cake. Everyone points and laughs, and it's clear that Daniel has been totally and deliberately humiliated.
After the party, Betty approaches Daniel in his frosting-smeared bunny outfit. He still looks a little bummed about the whole incident but says that he was willing to embarrass himself to save Meade Publications - because, yes, they did it! Hartley is going to invest with them. Seems like cause for cheer until we remember that Daniel is wearing a bunny suit and that Cal Hartley is obviously kinda sadistic with his investors.
While all of this is happening, Christina confronts Wilhelmina about baby William. The two women squabble but ultimately agree to get a blood test to determine maternity. When the lab results arrive at Wilhelmina's home (she waits for Christina to open them - or so she says), they discover that Wilhelmina is little William's mother. Christina is distraught - she felt "so sure" that William was hers. Willy quickly takes the opportunity to cut Christina out of William's life, firing her as nanny and demanding that she leave immediately.
The next day at Mode, everyone celebrates Cal Hartley's investment in the magazine. Amanda is back at her desk, drinking champagne and partying it up with Marc. Cal Hartley has sent Daniel a giant gift basket of carrots, and Wilhelmina hands off the baby to the new nanny.
So what was weirdest to you: The airing of an Easter episode almost three weeks after Easter? Or the arrival of Cal Hartley, otherwise known as Bradford Meade 2? And is Wilhelmina lying about baby William? I'm guessing that she's doctored the lab results because she doesn't want to lose her share in Meade Publications.

New Study Looks at Inkjet Printing in Office Environments
A new study conducted by InfoTrends entitled "Is Inkjet Printing Technology Ready to Transform the Office Printing Environment?" surveyed 50 business inkjet customers and 100 non-business inkjet customers in 15 countries worldwide including establishments in both mature and emerging markets. The results have led the analysts to conclude that there is potential for inkjet printers to be used in office environments.
The companies who were already using inkjets in their daily business operations were asked about their experiences and the non-business customers were asked if they would consider using inkjets in the future. Additionally, the non-business respondents were shown a video which spoke about the latest trends in inkjet printing technology, and any changes in their responses were noted. The respondents were from the following countries: Brazil; China; the Czech Republic; France; Germany; India; Italy; Japan; Mexico; Poland; Russia; Singapore; South Korea; the UK and the US.
Infotrends states their belief that in 2011, 73% of the print devices found in offices in 2011 were laser-based devices. Further the overwhelming majority of those in business feel that laser devices were built for business environments and inkjets were designed for home use. Despite this, the firm says that "'sees a bright future for business inkjets in the office environment'". That said, the success of these devices is "'largely dependent on vendors identifying and addressing the most important market needs'", as well as the vendors needing to "'ensure their product development efforts, and subsequent sales and marketing execution, resonate with business customers around the world'".
While 150 respondents across 15 countries does not necessarily indicate a representative sample, what their results have led them to predict is not much different than what we have seen ourselves in our research and reporting. Here a few of the things we've seen that point to the future success and efficacy of inkjet printing in a business environment:
The cases outlined above represent just some of the evidence which could be referenced to prove that inkjets have a role in business printing going forward.
Staples' Survey Reveals Ink and Toner Management to Be Source of Stress for Small Business Owners
A recent survey conducted by Staples revealed that small business owners who classify printing as important to their business reported either "high" or "very high". Further, individuals who spend extra time managing ink and toner supplies were found to be the most stressed in the Staples Ink &Toner "Know Your Type". Over 70% of the respondents declared themselves to be a "hands-on doer" which means that they are more likely to jump in and do something themselves instead of convincing others to do something.
According to Alison Corcoran, Staples' senior vice president, marketing, North American stores and online, "' Small business owners tend to operate as CEOs —chiefs of everything. Their focus needs to be on increasing productivity and running a company as efficiently as possible, not worrying about their ink and toner.'"
As part of this release, Staples also includes comments by organizational psychologist Michael "Dr. Woody" Woodward, PhD who states, "'Doing it all can mean losing it all Being hands-on isn?t necessarily a good thing, particularly when it comes to growing a business. Knowing your workplace personality type can help you manage others more efficiently, so you can spend more time on CEO duties.'"
The company notes that they currently stock over 3,000 different cartridges and provide both in-store and online services including a reorder of recent purchases and remove the burden of replacing consumables. They also provide an ink and toner finder online for customers who need it as well as advice from knowledgeable staff.
Other findings of the survey include:

The "Know Your Type" survey was administered to over 300 small business owners to discover how they got their work done, their workplace personality, and how it related to ink and toner purchasing habits. Staples reports it was conducted with a 95% confidence level and asked a series of questions aimed at the areas described above. Of the respondents, more than 200 were from companies that had between 1-19 employees, and more than 100 were from companies with 20-49 employees.
