why do they rush to tell us about a half baked rom that is still unstable? don't report anything about a rom until it is fully stable. also, why don't you try and pre read your article and correct grammer errors before submitting them. just a thought.
3. sorcio46 (Posts: 435; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
See my video, is stable but has some issues

These guys should just build their own OS
7. sorcio46 (Posts: 435; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
As they so, they start from AOSP and do many many things before giving us these beautiful and fast as light ROMs
8. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
Exactly, they build awesome roms, they have the talent and know-how, so why not take it one step further
9. sorcio46 (Posts: 435; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
Cause is better to start from a free open source and then do a little job (compared to what is to build from zero their own code) so by doing only optimizations and bug hunting
14. W.P._Android_in_that_Order (Posts: 208; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
Maybe they are going to give their own OS a serious try. Maybe thats why samsung hired him... to perfect their Tiezen OS.
15. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
I could see that happening
10. theruleslawyer (Posts: 108; Member since: 23 Apr 2012)
cm9 is great news. It'll take a big leap forward in development once official ICS hits soon.
11. JGuinan007 (Posts: 684; Member since: 19 May 2011)
So no support for the SGH-I717 North American Galaxy Note LTE?
12. theruleslawyer (Posts: 108; Member since: 23 Apr 2012)
No. Different roms are needed for the SGH-1717
13. plgladio (Posts: 314; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
If CM9 release a new OS, I think they work faster in new OS updates :D
Wish you all the best CM team for the next gaint leap in mobile industry..

Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow is exploring a partnership with North Shore-LIJ Health System, continuing a trend of area hospitals seeking to join forces with larger health systems.
SLEEPY HOLLOW – A wave of consolidations and mergers transforming health care in the Lower Hudson Valley advanced Tuesday with the announcement that Phelps Memorial Hospital Center is exploring a partnership with the state's largest health care system.
If approved, the partnership will mark the first time that North Shore-LIJ Health System is venturing into the northern suburbs, from Long Island and New York. It will also mark another community hospital linking its future to a larger, out-of-town network as the biggest industry in the Lower Hudson Valley remakes itself.
The Board of Directors at the Sleepy Hollow hospital approved a letter of intent to start exclusive negotiations "with a goal of executing a final agreement by late summer for Phelps to become the health system's first hospital in Westchester County," according to a statement from both institutions.
"The best way to assure the future course of the hospital is to join North Shore-LIJ," said Phelps CEO Keith Safian. "It's a great opportunity to fulfill our strategic plan."
He doesn't expect any job losses as Phelps, which employs nearly 1,700 people, becomes part of the 17-hospital North Shore-LIJ system, which employs 48,000. Phelps is on firm financial footing, ending its most recent fiscal year with a profit of more than $4 million, he said.
Under the outlines of the arrangement still being worked out, Phelps would retain its own chief executive and board of directors, Safian said. The hospital is continuing with a $15 million plan to build five new operating rooms, which should open in the fall.
Its 400-plus member medical staff would also become part of the Long Island system.
North Shore-LIJ has been expanding its reach beyond Nassau and Suffolk counties. It also owns a hospital on Staten Island as well as Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan.
The system recently began offering its own health insurance plan using its own doctors and hospitals. The plan, CareConnect, is offered on the state health insurance exchange to residents of Nassau, Suffolk, Staten Island and Queens.
Phelps is the third of the four Westchester hospitals formerly part of the Stellaris Network to announce a deal with a larger health care system from outside the area.
The four Stellaris hospitals — Phelps, White Plains, Lawrence in Bronxville and Northern Westchester in Mount Kisco — received state permission in the fall to cut ties with their parent organization.
Since then, three of the four have announced new partnerships: Lawrence with New York-Presbyterian Hospital; White Plains with Montefiore Health System in the Bronx and Phelps with North Shore-LIJ Health System.
Montefiore also purchased two bankrupt Westchester hospitals, in New Rochelle and Mount Vernon, in the fall.
The moves come as free-standing community hospitals seek partnerships with bigger, financially sound systems as a way to adapt to changes in the health care industry.
The few remaining independent community hospitals in the Lower Hudson Valley will likely face pressure to forge new alliances, said Kevin Dahill, president of the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association.
"This is a continuation of what we have seen in Westchester and surrounding counties in which formerly free-standing hospitals link up with a larger system," Dahill said. "We will see more of it."
But it's not certain that consumers see any benefit from hospital mergers, experts said.
Such mergers can be advantageous if they bring new services and technology to a hospital, said Matthew Cantor, a New York City attorney who specializes in health care anti-trust cases.
"But the anti-trust concern raised by these mergers is that the system has the power to raise prices for all of their provider groups and those prices are eventually passed on to the patients," he said.

This is hardware, a controller is hardware, Duh
It isn't hardware, it is software. The gamecube games weren't designed for the Wiimote.
This is hardware, a controller is hardware, Duh
"When death is entreated, the battle is decided! " said by Liquid Snake
Dude - lets just end this, the Wii wont work on a GC game, as it wasn't programmed to do so.
Thank you.
Out of curiosity, what wouldn't work about it? Aside from the obvious, that the motion sensor and tracking wont work, the wireless should still work. And since the wiimote+nunchuk have both analog stick, and all the required buttons (?) they should still work for any game.
Just curious.

Good point, flip.
"When death is entreated, the battle is decided! " said by Liquid Snake
if you turn the wiimote to the side it looks like a old type of nes contoller they did this on purpose to be used for games like on the nes. you can get a normal controller for the wii what looks like a normal one but you can also use the controller like i mention on the wiimote.

technically the Wii-mote could almost work as gamecube, different shape may effect some button combos though but for comparision

The 76ers' losing streak is intact.
They suffered a 115-98 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, extending their skid to 18 games.
The Kings (23-42) were supposed to be a beatable opponent for the Sixers, still winless since Jan. 29 and losers of 28 of 31. Sacramento came into the contest with a three-game losing streak. This game also marked the Kings' fourth contest in six days.
Instead, the setback at Wells Fargo Center moved the Sixers closer to the franchise-record 20 straight defeats rung up by the infamous 1972-73 squad. The NBA record for consecutive losses is 26 by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers.

Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffinby Kathy Griffin
View All Available Formats & Editions
Kathy Griffin has/b>
Official Book Club Selection is Kathy Griffin unplugged, uncensored, and unafraid to dish about what really happens on the road, away from the cameras, and at the star party after the show. (It's also her big chance to score that coveted book club endorsement she's always wanted. Are you there, Oprah? It's me, Kathy.)
Kathy Griffin has won Emmys for her reality show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, been nominated for a Grammy, worked and walked every red carpet known to man, and rung in the New Year with Anderson Cooper. But the legions of fans who pack Kathy's sold-out comedy shows have heard only part of her remarkable story. Writing with her trademark wit, the feisty comic settles a few old scores, celebrates the friends and mentors who helped her claw her way to the top, and shares insider gossip about celebrity behavior–the good, the bad, and the very ugly. She recounts the crazy ups and downs of her own career and...
Editorial Reviews
"Funny, honest, and refreshingly unsentimental. Griffin embraces Michael Corleone's mantra with a vengeance: All business is personal." - NY POST
"You feel as if Griffin is in the room with you, excitedly gesturing as she recounts a story [and] that's the beauty of Official Book Club Selection—Griffin has been made a fool countless times in her career and her willingness to share those lumps, which, face it, you'll never read in some Oscar-winning A-lister's autobiography, endears her tremendously."—Richmond Times Dispatch

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Have you ever looked at the online photos of Britney's peesh?
I probably shouldn't start my book with that question, but I just I can't get enough of those photos. I find it nearly impossible to turn away from an online snapshot of any celebrity's peesh. All right, Kath. Focus. This is the story of your life.
Wait! Have you seen that TV commercial with Wynonna Judd where she hawks diet pills? Look, I don't mean to be rude, but maybe a gal with a big voice and a bigger . . . um . . . talent, shouldn't be hawking diet pills. Come on, you know those pills are just tiny donuts. Teeny, tiny powdered donuts.
All right, that wasn't very nice. In fact, it was inappropriate, and nothing short of cheap gossip. But let's face it, that's why you bought this book. That's right, I'm bringing it: gays, women, and the occasional DL (down-low) husband. The pages you are about to read have a lot of gossip, but guess what? Most of it's about me. I'm going to try to make this book a recipe (shout out to Paula Deen!) of equal parts shit-talking about myself and others. Yeah, I go down pretty hard on myself in this book. Not as hard as Steve Martin does, or my drunken Irish Catholic relatives do, perhaps. But I've had some heartaches and bumpy passages on this road to notoriety. Basically, I take great pride in the fact that I'm a professional. You're in good hands. This is a job I've been training for my entire life.
How did I get here, then?
I'll start with a statement so shocking you might have to burn this book immediately:
I was a kid who needed to talk. All the time.
I mean, what's a beleaguered Mary Margaret Griffin to do when her mouthy little daughter won't shut the fuck up? Breathe a sigh of relief, for one thing, whenever I would bolt out the front door of our house on Home Avenue in suburban Oak Park, Illinois.
But Mom was really of two minds about my exit. While part of her was thinking, Thank God, get her out of my earshot, the other part surely thought, Uh-oh. That's because I'd just go next door to the Bowens' house, where I first learned the power of juicy material.
The Bowens were an older couple, and they lived with Mrs. Bowen's mother, Mrs. Tyres. The Bowens, Mrs. Tyres, and I had a mutual understanding. They would bribe me with Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies, and I'd freely spill our family secrets, all to my mom's horror, of course. She knew exactly what was going on because she could see it all through our kitchen window, which had a perfect view into the Bowens' formal dining room. Mom would be doing dishes, occasionally nursing a nice highball—boxed wine innovations hadn't arrived yet—then look up, see my mouth moving, and then see the Bowens shaking their heads.
It was good stuff I was slinging, too. I'd reveal how one of my older siblings would have had a kegger the night before, and I'd run right over with the latest. "Yeah, Joyce had a party and one guy just fell asleep right on the lawn!" I'd excitedly report. "He was real drunk and everything! There was puke everywhere! My mom made me promise not to tell anybody! I don't think she meant you, Mrs. Tyres! Boy, these cookies sure are good!"
From my perch at the Bowens' table, I could see my poor mom waving me over, mouthing "Get back here! Get back here!" If either Mrs. Bowen or Mrs. Tyres looked over, too, my mom could turn on her party face instantaneously and be all smiles: "Oh hell-o-o-o-o-o-o, Mrs. Bowen!"
Everything was so prim and proper at the Bowens', with doilies on the table, and cookies neatly laid out on a plate. It was like high tea. At our packed house, it was a bag of cookies thrown out and all of us diving for them like animals, with no Kate Gosselin there to spank some sense into us. So naturally I thought it was my job to go next door to these fancy people and try to tell the most graphic, shocking, and horrible stories I could. I mean, haven't you sold your soul for a good slice of cake? (More on that later.)
Mr. Bowen, of course, wanted nothing to do with me. Typical straight- guy audience. He would come home in his suit, grab the newspaper, and sit in his Barcalounger, tolerating the freckly, red-headed, seven- year-old spinning top who came over and just talked constantly. Poor Mr. Bowen. The ladies, however, knew what was important, egging me on with widened eyes and a gently prodding "What?"
"My dad swore FOUR TIMES last night!"
"Joyce got kicked out of school again!"
"Keith Norman let me watch him pee in his yard today!"
"My brother had a party where everybody was drunk and my dad had this antique sword and it was stolen and my mom is FURIOUS!" (By the way, my family is still talking about that damn sword.)
This arrangement with the Bowens went on for years. It started when we moved into that Home Avenue house and continued till I was in high school. If the Bowens had had Flip cam technology, they could probably sell it on eBay for tens of dollars. Today, the story of my trips next door is one of my mother's favorites, but I guarantee you it caused her no end of grief back then.
"What are you airin' our GAHDDAMN dirty laundry for?" she'd always unload on me, her Chicago accent in full flight. "Mrs. Bowen and Mrs. Tyres, they don't want to hear your GAHDDAMN mouth, for CHR-EYE-SSAKE. JEEZ-us CHR-EYE-ST."
Sorry, Mom. You and everyone else in the family might call it tattling. But to me, they were my first live shows. From the Bowens to Madison Square Garden, it's been quite a ride.
Chapter Two
Growing Up Griffin
With all the craziness this past year surrounding the Octomom and her fourteen kids—I'm on suicide watch for her, by the way—it's worth noting that my mother was herself the youngest of sixteen. Suck it, Octomom. Before fertility drugs let Nadya Suleman set some kind of land speed record in childbirth, there was good old-fashioned Irish Catholicism.
Of course, I've told Jesus to suck it, too, which earned me a certain measure of notoriety, because you have to make fun of any religion that would let you have sixteen kids and say it's God's will. I mean, bless my grandparents. They seem like they were wonderful people. I didn't know them, really, because most of them had passed away before I was born. But that amount of children is clearly insane. They were big believers in the rhythm method, and you can see how well that worked out for them. I don't even know my grandmother's first name, because my mother only refers to her as "The Saint." For instance, I would say, "Mom, don't you think it might not have been the best choice to keep on having children, one a year, like she was punching a clock?"
She'd reply, "NO, don't say that! The woman's a SAINT!"
My mother's father was just called "The Governor," or "Himself." Which, if you have sixteen kids, probably isn't as crazy as it sounds. "Himself is comin' home!" Grandma would supposedly announce in her Old Country brogue. I had to clarify with my mom who exactly she was talking about when she'd use this term. I would say, "Mom, do you mean your dad?" And she'd say "Of course. Himself."
Apparently, "Himself" liked to get into fistfights with his sons, well into their twenties. That's right. My mother would talk about this as if it were cute and adorable. Um, no. There isn't supposed to be any fisticuffs as a matter of everyday parenting.
I know I'm making fun of my family—mostly because I love teasing my mom —but there was also real tragedy in that situation. For one thing, you can't keep track of that many kids, and the likelihood of something horrible happening because of that just increases. This is a true Irish Catholic story: One young child in my mom's family died when he pulled a pot of boiling water off the stove and was scalded to death. Her sister Angeline died of tuberculosis when she was twenty-one. This was a time when scurvy and polio were real dangers, when a family member would go into a veterans' hospital and never come back.
My mother's family came over on a ship in steerage class from Ireland, but she and her four siblings nearest in age were born in America, so I'm second generation. They settled in the west side of Chicago, and life became all about the parish, or church community. Presentation was the name of the Catholic church they attended, and this is what I love about the Irish: My mother became known as the second prettiest girl at Presentation parish.
"Why was that okay?" I once asked her.
"Oh, because everybody knew Mary Griffin was the most beautiful girl at Presentation," she replied.
My mom was happy to be on the D-list! Just like I'm not trying to be Brooke Shields, she wasn't trying to be Mary Griffin. Now, she did go and marry the prettiest girl's brother, my father, John Patrick Griffin. That probably helps you accept the mantle of second prettiest girl at Presentation.
My dad's family, on the other hand, was something of an embarrassment at Presentation, because—get ready—my dad was the youngest of only five kids. You can imagine trying to be happy with only five children in the family. I'm sure you're dampening this page already with tears of pity.
We don't know if Mr. Griffin the elder was shooting blanks, or somebody was partially barren, which is apparently the worst thing you could call a woman in those days, but it gets crazier. After my grandmother had five children—six, really, since one baby sadly died after a week—she said, "I don't want any more kids." To which Grandpa said, "Well, the only way to not have kids is to not have sex, because we're not going to use condoms or anything."
"Yeah, that's the deal," my grandma agreed. "No more sex."
"No sex? I'm out of here."
I love that this was apparently a very religious man, too. What, a "bad" Catholic uses birth control, but a "good" Catholic leaves his wife over it? So-o-o-o religious. Anyway, Mr. Griffin moved out and relocated one parish over, where he checked tickets on streetcars for a living. But here's the kicker: Because it was such a shame to have a man leave you or get divorced, for years my dad had to tell the whole parish that his father had died. Mrs. Griffin would say, "Yeah, my husband passed away."
I just want to reiterate: He was one parish away. We're talking two miles. It was such a small-town culture that no one knew. How could they not just run into him?
It gets better. As my grandpa on my dad's side got older, he took ill. So the woman he abandoned, my grandmother, actually took him back, and took care of him! Then they had to tell the town, "Oh, right, he's . . . actually . . . not dead." But the best part is, when my grandparents reunited, they vowed never to speak to each other until the day they died. She nursed him in silence all the way to his deathbed. How sweet a deal did he get?
When his dad returned, my father was still living at home, and he had begun dating my mom. According to my mom, their first date, which took place at the blindingly romantic setting of his family's home, went something like this:
"Tell your mother to pass the butter."
"Tell your father to get his OWN butter!"
"Tell your mother I want some more soda bread."
"Tell your father he can have the soda bread when I'm good and ready!"
Maggie just looked over at the son of these two, and ten minutes later realized, "So this is the gig." But when she tells the story now, Mom makes it sound as if it were par for the course. So freakin' Irish Catholic.
Before they started dating my parents first met at the Formfit bra factory. Dad was a stock boy, and Mom was a secretary. Somebody introduced them, and as the story goes, that somebody said, "John, you know Maggie, the second prettiest girl at Presentation?" And he said, "No, I don't know her."
My mother was incensed. "What do you mean you don't know me? I'm the second prettiest girl at Presentation! And by the way, you're not that hot, anyway. How can you be related to a beautiful sister like Mary, the prettiest girl at Presentation?"
Well, the sparks flew. Mom was very intrigued that Dad wasn't just following her around drooling. But he really got her with his sense of humor. He did the smart thing in the beginning: He would go out on a "date" with her and a few of her girlfriends or sisters. It wasn't heavy dating. They didn't have any money, so a night out was a bottle of booze and a trip to the park with plastic cups in the middle of winter. Now, this is Chicago. That's a fucking cold night out. It was usually Dad, my mom, her friend Rae and her sister Irene, and they'd all just get hammered. Then, it would be too cold to walk home so they'd go from building to building, and Dad would ring the doorbell of each one. Then they'd be let into the foyer, warm up some, and then he would ring the bell of every apartment as a joke, and the girls would be mad at Dad but they'd laugh anyway. "Johnny, stop it!" they'd say, and he'd promise not to do it, and then do it again. Just so you know the level of entertainment we're dealing with here. This was a hot Saturday night for them.
According to my mom, she and dad dated almost two years before getting married. Dad was home on furlough from the war for just a few days, right before Pearl Harbor, after which he had to get back to his base right away. Mom went to meet him in Denver, hoping they could get married on St. Patrick's Day, but due to some army regulations, they had to wait until March 20 (at that time, soldiers kinda had to get approval, or so Maggie says)—lucky for them the army approved! They had their first child, Kenny, nine months and four days after they got married. We kids like to tease Mom: Perhaps she was a naughty girl? But she's very proud that that four-day window proved Kenny wasn't an "accident baby." The rest of us came afterward in four- or five-year increments: Joyce, Gary, John, and then me, on November 4, 1960. Right next to Election Day! (I then went on to retroactively elect my mother the prettiest girl at Presentation.) I'm the baby, just like my mother and father were in their families, and I never heard the end of it. I got away with everything, according to my siblings. But Mom doesn't think I was spoiled. Precocious, okay. Annoying, yes. But not spoiled. She will also happily admit that I was an accident baby, and that by the time I came along—eighteen years after their first child was born— Mom and Dad were too tired to worry about me.
But get this: When my mother was pregnant with me, it turns out she was on amphetamines. That's right, speed. This was a time when doctors thought a woman shouldn't gain more than fifteen pounds during a pregnancy—and when doctors spoke back then, mothers listened—so to keep her weight down they gave my mom amphetamines! She took them while she was pregnant, and after she had me to lose the few pounds she had gained. Plus—I love this—she's actually guilt-ridden about it. She thinks that's what made me crazy, or shall we say, the accomplished person I am today. Let's just take this in for a moment, shall we? In 1960 there were two doctors in Forest Park, Illinois, who were just doling out methamphetamines to pregnant Irish Catholic women with part-time jobs. Where's my Dateline episode? I like to picture my mom with a baby on the way, bouncing off the walls, scratching her neck, and fiddling with the rabbit ears on the TV set in a frenzied manner. This, by the way, is how I write my act: I get an idea in my head and I run with it. So granted, I was a fetus at the time, but I was there. You can't deny that. Also, the way I tell it is probably funnier than the way it actually happened. But in any case, she now believes I'm her crack baby.

I've been watching My Life on the D-List for a while and have always been a fan of Kathy, so I was very excited for her book! It reads just like how she talks, and I loved that there were also very personal, serious moments such as descriptions of her father and marriage/divorce. I'd also suggest getting the audio book - I did and it's fun to hear how she reads her own book and adds some hilarious personal comments as well. This book made me laugh out loud, and I can always appreciate that. People either seem to love or hate Kathy, but if you love her like I do, you will LOVE this book too! :-)
I wouldn't call myself Kathy's biggest fan; I assumed this, like a lot of comedy memoirs, would be a quick and easy read and would make me feel better about myself than if I picked up an US Weekly or People magazine. Kathy's introspective look and honesty came as a surprise, and I was impressed at her drive to make it finally onto that D-list. Her chapter on a college show where she performed with Andy Dick was uncomfortable but a great addition and I really thought she handled the chapter on the break-up of her marriage with a lot of class. I doubt I'll be tuning into her show, but I do look forward to future books!
Official Book Club Selection A Memoir According To Kathy Griffin, was written by Kathy Griffin, comedian, actress, and now author, about her life on the "D- List" and how her hard work through life got her there. If you've heard of Kathy Griffin, you know she's not afraid to speak her mind. In this book, you hear about the craziest things she's ever said and learn the true reason behind them all. Through her story, Kathy also gives advice if you're trying to make it in the world of Hollywood. She tells you everything and holds back nothing. You learn about her family and her relationship with her brother Kenny. She also talks about some of the most influential celebrities that she's met and opens up about her plastic surgery which nearly killed her. Written to get on Oprah's "Official Book Club", where the name of the memoir derives from, this book tells the story of her life in a way that makes you laugh almost the entire time. However, she describes parts of her life that really make you empathize with her and could change your whole perspective. I really enjoyed this book, and no part of it left me wanting to put it down. If you've ever heard of Kathy Griffin, love Kathy Griffin, or don't know about Kathy Griffin, you should definitely read this book. Even if you despise Kathy Griffin, I recommend this book to you, because your whole view of her might be changed.
An awesome book...I have never laughed so hard! There is a great balance of humor, substance, and even a few spots that have you emotionally tied to the book. You really learn a lot about Kathy and her past. Awesome book! It is my official book club selection!
I think Kathy's hilarious and her book didn't let me down. I was surprised by how frank and personal she was about her life. I didn't expect that but it added to the book. Kathy seems like a very nice person too, along with being a great comedian. This is definitely worth reading if you like her comedy or just enjoy reading fun books.
There are plenty of laughs in Griffin's autobiography, but there are also plenty of insights and revelations. The discussion of her brother's problems was especially interesting. I also enjoyed reading about her adventures on the comedy club scene. And no one name drops like D-list Kathy Griffin!
I wolfed this book down like a bear claw! Ms. Kathy Griffin comes off as not just fiercely funny, which we all knew, but also kind, bright, eloquent and beautiful, inside and out. It's really a wonderful, surprisingly moving and honest book. Oprah, take note! And if you don't agree, then you can suck it.
You couldn't pay me enough to read this book she isn' t funny she is rude, and annoying,loud can't believe she has fans
Hilarious and revealing Kathy pulls no punches, just what you would expect. Its a fast read and leaves one wanting more.
I only wished she would have written about why she didn't want or couldn't have kids.
I love Kathy, she is annoying , loveable, you have to get her comady to get her. She is a little like Joan that is why she has stepted in so well on Fashion Police. I love Kathy she's blunt if ya dont like her change the chanel. She' s good with Anderson too.
Walks in
I would actually give this book about 4.5 stars. It was pretty darn good. The parts I had issues with were personal to me, so it's not something that other people might not be bothered by. While the book as a whole was, of course, funny (I mean we're talking about a book by Kathy Griffin people!) I was surprised to see some more deep thoughts and sadness sprinkled in. Perhaps that was silly to imagine that someone's life would be without sadness simply because they are a funny person and always seem happy on the outside. I'm glad that Kathy included these things in her book and the way she told them wasn't funny. It would have made her seem ingenuine. All in all, this being the first "memoir" I've read, I was impressed. It's made me rethink my stance on non-fiction reading. Thanks Ms. Griffin!
I could NOT put this memoir down. I liked Kathy Griffin's standup when I was a kid. I had no idea her life was like that at all. Her brother the pedo and drug addict, and her family stuck up for him. GOD. Her husband stole money her money. A very good memoir but I did skip the Steve Wozniak emails.
I thought it was great and it made me hungry for cake.
Very good book, comedy and serious. Some sides of Kathy Griffin I didn't think were there. Loved it.

Milwaukee man severely injures hand tossing firework
A 40-year-old Milwaukee man's hand was severely injured when he tried to throw a firework Wednesday night, police said Thursday.
The fireworks accident occurred about 9:20 p.m. in the 2700 block of N. Richards St. and police continue to investigate.
In Milwaukee, all fireworks are illegal even if they were purchased outside the city. Officials have long encouraged city residents to watch professional, legal displays on the lakefront and in parks during the holiday.
Nationally, doctors treated 9,600 fireworks-related injuries in hospital emergency rooms in 2011, the latest year for which data is available, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Of those injured, 26% were under the age of 15 and 68% were men. Sparklers and novelties accounted for 34% of firework-related injuries, the association reported.
A complete list of Fourth of July parades and fireworks displays in the Milwaukee area can be found here.

Scrapping again
Cute, cute, cute! Those pics make me long even more for summer. I love them both. TFS
hooray for scrapping again!
the berry picking cracked me up ... cause that's what it was like when I took Jack last year. Andrew was good at picking though.
and your veggies are great! is Andrea eating a tomato? my kids would never do that (neither would I, just not a tomato girl). love that you captured her eating the fresh garden bounty.
love the colors of the first one and the use of the picture in the background of the main part of the page. the second one is great with the colors that coordinate with the veggies.
Thanks ladies!
Yep, she was eating a tomato. I was a little shocked myself. I would never just bite into a large tomato, but I guess no one ever taught her that wasn't normal Dave was just saying yesterday that he can't wait to have a garden again (although he will spend all summer harping on me to keep it weeded!)
Love that she will bite into a tomato like that. Cute layout!!!


text: Hi all, I have a few boxes of beers that I am aging. It's nothing special - nothing older than a few years, as I purposely keep the stash small and manageable. My question is not about aging beer, but rather storing beer that is newly purchased. I always store hoppy beers in the fridge without question. That said, I am never sure what to do when I buy big imperial stouts or other similar styles, i.e. barleywines, wheatwines, wee-heavys. Should these beers go into the fridge if I am not meaning to age them or sit on them for more than a few months? I recently purchased some new beers and remember reading somewhere (no clue where or what the experience level of the author was) that you shouldn't refrigerate those bigger styles, but rather store them at cellar temps until you are ready to drink them. That seems to go against what is out there regarding cellaring versus fridge storage. I'm almost sure the answer will be to store beers in my fridge that I don't plan to age and to store beers in the cellar that I want to age. Still figured it was worth tossing this question out there. Also, I wasn't sure if this would be a better topic for the Cellar/Aging forum, so please move if I was incorrect in posting here. Cheers, Sam

Farm, forestry projects share $1.1 million
MORETOWN Vermont awarded $1.1 million to 37 farm and forestry projects around the state Tuesday in the second year it offered working lands grants.
Among the recipients is Grow Compost of Vermont LLC, which is receiving $75,000 for a new truck to collect food and food scraps from schools and businesses and manure from farms to turn into compost and for use in digesters to make energy. Some of the food will also go to food banks as Vermont moves toward its goal of statewide recycling by 2015 and keeping food scraps out of landfills by 2020.
We could not have imagined this day when we began eight years ago with a plan to create some good soil for our own gardens, said Lisa Ransom, who along with her husband and parents own Grow Compost. Our sights are now higher. We see an incredible potential for this work to create jobs.
Other awards are:
$50,000 to Screamin Ridge Farm Inc. in East Montpelier for a collaborative processing facility for value-added agricultural projects.
$75,000 to Vermont Technical College for a dairy processing plant and hub.
$15,000 to Fat Toad Farm in Brookfield for more efficient caramel equipment to expand production at its goat farm.
$9,825 to Green Mountain Hardwood in Ripton for a portable sawmill and materials for a solar-assisted lumber kiln.
$38,000 to Vermont Livestock and Slaughter Processing LLC in Ferrisburgh for a computerized weight data and tracking system for livestock.
$20,000 to Wilcox Ice Cream in Manchester for a manufacturing facility.
Every time we invest in our working landscape in the state of Vermont as we are through this fund as the entrepreneurs are every day we actually are making an investment in our economy, were making an investment in our ecology, were making an investment in undergirding the very culture that makes this place so special, and at the end of the day were building community in this state that is why we live here, said Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross.
The Working Lands Enterprise Board also leveraged $1.8 million in matching funds.
Aside from entrepreneurs, grants also went to service providers, such as $50,000 to the Vermont Wood Manufacturers Association for innovation assistance to wood manufacturers and $50,000 to the Intervale Center, Northeast Organic Farmers Association Vermont, the University of Vermont and others for a project to nurture the next wave of Vermont agricultural entrepreneurs.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

Back in 1981, Frank Crail decided he wanted to raise his family in Durango, a charming, friendly little city nestled in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Crail rented space on Main Street and opened the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Today, the operation has expanded to a 53,000-sq.-ft. factory that serves 296 franchise stores in the United States, as well as locations in Canada, the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere.
Managing the data handling and reporting needs of the company and its franchisees is the responsibility of Key Jobson, Rocky Mountain's chief information officer. Last fall, Jobson and his team began implementing an open, web-based data management solution from WhenToManage Restaurant Solutions. One of the major attractions of the new system is that it can collect and report sales data from multiple point-of-sale systems provided by multiple vendors.
"The impetus for this project was around providing options to our franchisees," says Jobson. "In the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory network, we have been requiring our franchisees to use POS systems from a single vendor since 2001. A couple of years ago, we made a move into the self-serve yogurt market with Aspen Leaf Yogurt. During the process of launching the brand and acquiring franchisees, it became apparent to me that we didn't need to be tied to a single POS vendor any longer."
Freedom now
The Rocky Mountain Chocolate side of the business was also continuing to add franchisees, and it was obvious to Jobson and his colleagues that an open system would have advantages there as well. "The basic concept for me was to avoid pain," he says. "Any time you tell a franchisee they're going to have to put in a particular POS system, they're going to be unhappy. If you give them options, they'll be less unhappy."
Meanwhile, the company began co-branding Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and Aspen Leaf Yogurt, intensifying the need to uncouple franchises from a particular POS system. "We were starting to do cross-branding and co-branding activities and were having to pull the data together into off-line databases," Jobson says.
The question became: How to allow franchisees, both on the yogurt side and the chocolate side, to choose the POS systems they have in their stores — and still manage the business? "We needed a database solution that we could tie all the POS systems to," Jobson says. "Coherent reporting across our brand is very important to us. We use it extensively. My goal is to have all of our brand data in a single data warehouse, so we can do all the kinds of retail analysis we want on it."
Jobson talked to several vendors, "But when we ran across WhenToManage," he says, "it became apparent pretty quickly that they were ideally targeted to the kind of solution we were looking for."
WhenToManage Restaurant Solutions is a cloud-based software-as-a-service company. It offers modules for POS intelligence, employee scheduling, inventory management and enterprise-level business intelligence.
WhenToManage sales and marketing vice president Walker Thompson says Jobson wanted "to let the various POS systems do what they do best — handle transactions, collect data and organize the individual store at its location. Then on top of that, add this third-party data collection and analysis capability."
In addition to the enterprise-level data collection and reporting function, franchisees have the option of incorporating the WhenToManage POS intelligence, labor scheduling and inventory management modules into their operations.
A rolling start
"The reality of integrating a 12-year-old POS data source into WhenToManage was something neither we nor the supplier had faced before," Jobson says. "When we started we had a list of 20,000 items. There was a lot of duplication and a lot of antiquated items, and we trimmed it down to 1,500 items to get a current product mix."
Deployment of the new data reporting solution began in October 2012. "Considering we started before the holidays and that our franchisees are very busy all the way through Mother's Day … we've received very good acceptance in the field," Jobson says.
Jobson estimates that a substantial majority of the franchisees will take advantage of the various WhenToManage components. "Traditionally," he says, "about two-thirds of our franchisees find a web-based, sophisticated reporting system valuable. I anticipate that about two-thirds of our franchisees in the U.S. — somewhere around 220 stores — will migrate toward WhenToManage."
Overall, the new system will provide Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, both at the headquarters and store levels, significantly improved visibility into operations. "With WhenToManage we have pieces we didn't have with the prior system," Jobson says. "Before, we did a lot of ad hoc analysis. We'd develop reports that were meaningful and push them out via e-mail, but there was a lot of manual interaction around all of that.
"WhenToManage provides the dashboard concept upfront so that a corporate user or a franchisee can log in and see a dashboard they've configured to have the most meaningful data right on the front page. If they're a single-store operator or a store manager, that might be a daily sales report. If it's me or our CFO, it's probably a rollup of stores by region. From there we can drill down to the individual store level, product mix level — or a check, if we want to click that far."
Finally, one of the factors that seems to be making this implementation a success is the tight fit between the solution and the environment into which it has been introduced. "Frankly, they're not the most sophisticated reporting analysis engine I've seen," Jobson says, "but they have good functionality for presentation to a franchisee that fits our model. Most of our stores are single-unit owners — our largest franchisee has six stores."
This has real and important implications for data reporting. Franchisees are "not IT professionals," Jobson says, "and they're not big organizations. The opportunity is to provide them with retail data the way they — and we — want to see it. I want to influence how they look at retail performance, and I want to provide them some flexibility around what they look at and how they receive the data, whether it's e-mail or a dashboard or an alert."

Top Definition
A humorous stop-motion show that appeared on adult swim. It centered around Orel, an 11/12 year old church goer who tries to do the right thing by living up to an extreme Protestant ethic. The show itself is a satire of Protestantism, Christianity, morality, and 1950s culture, just to name a few. As the show progressed it began incorporating more dark humor with its episodes. It aired for three seasons before it was denied renewal, most likely due to a combination of the episodes "Nature (part I and II)", "Numb," and "Alone."
Despite how dark Moral Orel ended, it is still a good satire that manages to get good jokes in.

Wow – there are a lot of really beautiful pantries out there! I am constantly amazed by the creativity of people who can make even a storage space aesthetically pleasing as well as functional!
I am all about making spaces in my 80s-era house more attractive, but I just want my pantry to be clean and organized. Is that too much to ask of myself?
I went food shopping after work the other day without a list and came home with school snacks galore only to discover that I already had something like 10 boxes of chocolate chip granola bars, 2 bags of pretzels, 3 boxes of peanut butter crackers, 17 packages of applesauce and 2 packages of raisin boxes buried in the back of the pantry. From having the kids home in the summer, to the busy beginning of the school year and sports and work and life, our pantry has become a complete disaster zone. With a family that includes three growing kids rifling through there on a daily basis, I find it necessary to clean out my pantry every six months or so. It's not something I enjoy, but much like cleaning out the fridge, it's necessary once in a while and is so gratifying to have done!!
This is our pantry before we moved in – two closets with lots of shelves.
You may recall that our house was the Peach Pit when we moved here last year – everything, from the trim to walls, was painted some shade of murky peach or burnt orange. The very first thing I did when we moved in was paint those doors (and from there, every other bit of wall and trim in the house!)
Since the shelving inside was old and dingy, I even painted those (with Kilz primer as they were raw wood) to give the space a fresh start. I knew the paintjob would get banged up but I just wanted it to feel neat and tidy.
Ahhh, much better!
Even though my children are often heard saying "there's nothing to eat!", over time these shelves get jam-packed and require some organizing. If you like to cook, I sure you can relate when I tell you that I'm constantly picking up ingredients for recipes. When I clean out the pantry I feel inspired to use up things that have been in there a while. Time to make some soup, homemade pizza or marinara sauce!
One of the changes I made yesterday was to put our baking supplies and whatnots in these organizers. Cupcake liners, sprinkles and such things that we don't need on a daily basis seem to clutter up the pantry so I put them on the highest shelf and labeled the drawers so my little baker, Hannah, can find things easily.
I also have an ongoing issue of a certain teenager in my house who has an insatiable appetite and gets into all sorts of packages when his mother is not looking. After he's done emptying out my fridge of milk and yogurt, he meanders over to the pantry looking for a sweet something something, and has been known to take handfuls of chocolate chips despite his mother's threats. I go to bake cookies and find half the bag of chocolate chips has somehow disappeared.
So where are the baking goodies now I ask you??
sweet notes and artwork from the kiddos, and a place to hang aprons.
and a caddy for homework supplies keep everything we need in easy access.
Baskets are a must for choraling snacks, baking goods, oatmeal packs, etc. I wanted a little splash of color so I picked up those green ones at Homegoods, but Ikea also has a nice selection of inexpensive baskets.
And now that I've shown you my lame, un-fancy, but organized!!! pantry, check out THE most tricked out and beautiful of all pantries right on over here!

A riveting performance that had me on the edge of my seat. And the writing is excellent. I took my friend and her 11 year old daughter. Although she may not have understood all of the monologue, she was laughing out loud and still talking about how much she enjoyed the play two days later.
As an adult who has seen mental illness up close, the play was poignant. What on the surface was "funny", was in fact truly sad. We are not told where the play acutally takes place but the hints are quite clear. See if you can figure it out.
Unfortunately on the night I attended, there was a sparse audience. The perforrmance and the play should have been a full house and certainly rates major venues across the country.

Trained as an anthropologist, Valérie Jouve has brought a researcher's focus to her career as a photographer. Since the early 1990s, she has used her camera to study society and the human presence in the urban environment. Until September 13, the Pompidou Center is showing "En Attente" ("Waiting"), 30 photographs taken in 2008 and 2009 that represent the first part of her project on Arab communities in the Palestinian autonomous territories.
Jouve juxtaposes photos of very different size and feel, taking the viewer on an intensely emotional and thought-provoking journey. ARTINFO France recently sat down with the photographer to talk about her experience documenting the lives of Palestinians, and her return to the French museum scene.
With this exhibition you have returned to a large-scale French institution after a 10-year absence.
Since 2003, I've withdrawn a bit so I could construct my work according to a rhythm that would be productive. However, while I haven't shown my images in a large institution here in France, I did do so abroad. Having two or three shows per year lets me be inside my work, instead of being focused on showing it.
Your images are more about emotional perception than pure reporting. Can you describe your approach?
When I talk about the time that I'll need, it includes moments that are not productive. I don't walk up to places and people with my camera. I follow the time of real life and chance meetings so I can structure my approach. When I start producing images, I already have a pretty specific idea of what they will add up to. For this exhibition at the Pompidou Center, the emotional perception is strong because this was my first encounter with this country. I think I will have to work on this subject for two or three more years so I can explore it more in depth. Unlike reporters, I'm not about current events but I'm much more about the representation of an identity.
Why did you decide to photograph the Palestinian autonomous territories?
Initially, I was invited to do a project on Israeli territory, and I crossed the green line to discover, to my astonishment, a country that has not succeeded in being recognized but which I identified as such, with its own culture, its history, and its people. So I decided to work on both countries, Israel and Palestine, separately. My images of Israel will be shown later — they are part of a group project.
You don't show the conflict.
That's right. In this project, many elements echo the approach that I constructed from the beginning, specifically finding zones that escape social control or even the control of power structures. The names of some images, such as "Characters," contrast with other realities, such as "Façades," for example. The power of the other is felt in the folds of Palestinian society. I don't need to show the conflict, I prefer to focus on the proud resistance of a people.
What have you learned from this experience?
I absolutely must continue so that I can go further, because I'm not only exploring Palestine but, through it, an entirely new logic of the world that we see arriving in the West. I have the feeling sometimes that this is a valid field of socio-political experimentation that is usable for our western world. Because it's really the West that came to settle in the Middle East. By showing the specific nature of a place, I am trying — as I always do — to emphasize its universal quality. The world is round and we're not as separated as some would have us believe. I also came to seek a story of colonization. In France, we experienced terrible times but we have a hard time shedding light on that history. While the Algerian War was violent for the French, I think that for the Algerians the colonial period was much more serious, and more unjust.
Your photos show the city and its people on a human scale and they are arranged in the exhibition space according to the angle that you chose at the moment of the shot. Why?
As always, I approached this exhibition wanting to make the images talk and to let them inhabit the space. The goal is not to present my new work but to lead the viewer to question our world and his or her own place in it. So the space is inhabited by a special kind of energy. It bathes and surrounds the viewer who can temporarily make it his or her own.
Why did you call the exhibition "En Attente," or "Waiting"?
It took a long time to choose the title. I really didn't want it to be something fixed or something that would explain too much. I think that it was Quentin Bajac who suggested "En Attente" while we were discussing plans for the exhibition. I thought it was perfect, because on the one hand it goes with a project that is starting — this exhibition is not the end-result of my work in Palestine, because it's just begun — and that will have more to follow. On the other hand, it also describes the situation of this territory, which is precarious and waiting for a viable solution.
