Play with Me Sesame
this wiki
Play with Me Sesame is a 24-minute program that premiered on April 1, 2002.[1] It features a framing structure starring Grover, Prairie Dawn, Ernie and Bert while also showcasing old inserts from Sesame Street.
The first two seasons were produced for Noggin, and contained 26 and 52 episodes, respectively. In the second season, Cookie Monster, Ernestine, Slimey, and Zoe started making occasional appearances on the show. Chicago the Lion also made at least one appearance. The third and final season was produced solely by Sesame Workshop with 26 episodes.[2] The show aired on Sprout until 2016.
A typical show follows this format:
- Ernie Says ... (similar to "Simon Says")
- Classic Muppet clip
- Prairie Dawn showcases drawings made by kids
- Classic Muppet clip
- Bert plays on the computer
- Classic Muppet clip (a song segment)
- Bert shows computer-generated "oatmeal art" submitted by kids
- Classic Muppet clip (an Ernie and Bert segment)
- Finale: Grover invites the viewer to dance with him (occasionally includes a classic clip)
International airings of the show (including PBS Kids Sprout) include a fifth insert, removing Prairie's segment. The Sprout airings featured her segment only during The Sunny Side Up Show, where it would cut to in-studio art presentations. For season 3, Prairie would trade her art segment for one oriented around music.

JD, I've been following your experiments, and, your 'longer bake time' pies, because you're working with very hot steel and moving it mid bake, are almost identical to my 4 minute bakes. Perhaps you're a bit Zuppardi-ish, but, with your undercrust char, you're closer to me than you are to them (and moving closer every month )And who says you're not a fan favorite? Anyone making great pizza is a fan favorite, and you definitely qualify for those honors.
I'm reading between the lines here a bit but I find it interesting that the overall best experience came from a place that did not have a coal oven...
Sally'sIf I was disappointed by Pepe's, Sally's was a crushing blow. I don't think I've ever had a worse tomato. It was starch-y, paste-y and cucumber-y. And the bench flour. I never thought it was possible to get that much bench flour to stick to the bottom of a pizza. The flour was caked on so thickly that when you tapped it against the side of your hand, the flour wouldn't come off as a powder, but, rather, in large flakes. The potato pie was a nice new flavor, but it didn't make up for Sally's failings.And the A/C. We were told Sally's would be a sadistic experience, but this was really traumatic. Between the metal folding chairs, the sweat box and what felt like a 2 hour wait, the discomfort was so overwhelming that I could barely think about the pizza. If I go back to Sally's (and that's a big if), it will never be with more than 4 people and never during the summer.
Star Taverm in Orange NJ continues to satify me. It is a whole different pie than I make.
Interesting... I was just at Star Tavern a few weeks ago on my trip to NY. It's good greasy pie that has a nice crisp crust. Enjoyable, but I'm not sure I see what the huge fuss is about with them. Regardless, it was a tasty pizza that while enjoyable, I don't think I would go out of my way for.
Proof that so much of pizza tasting is subjective. My perfect pie may be nothing to Joe or Stan or Tom or...
Agreed. I'm definitely in a Neapolitan style phase, so I perhaps that's why I wasn't overly impressed with Star. Like I said, good pizza if you're nearby to try, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it now that I've tried it.

Style Informer: Maxwell Ryan of Apartment Therapy
After renovating a townhouse in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, Lisa Pomerantz figured she and her family were set for life. That massive undertaking entailed moving out of their home for more than a year, a process that neither she nor her husband was eager to repeat. The tailored results—featured in ELLE DECOR in 2008—were the height of chic and perfectly suited to Pomerantz, a fashion maven who oversees global communications for Michael Kors. "We had plenty of space and we loved it," she says. "I really thought we were done."
In the living room of Lisa Pomerantz and Jonathan Copplestone's Manhattan apartment, designed by architect Peter Pawlak, the sofa, which is upholstered in a Maharam mohair, and the daybed are custom made, the cocktail table is vintage Tommi Parzinger, and the vintage armchair and Knoll Barcelona stools are covered in Rogers & Goffigon fabrics; the 18th-century campaign chest is English, the floor lamp is by Bottega Veneta, and the Berber rug is vintage.
But as their boys, Trewin, now 14, and Oliver, 10, aged into their tween years, everything became more complicated. Their private school was located on the Upper East Side, the other side of town. For Pomerantz and her husband, investor Jonathan Copplestone, the commute up and across town began to feel like a burden. They listed their townhouse as much out of curiosity as anything else, but soon received a serious offer. "We hemmed and hawed and then finally had to pull the trigger," Pomerantz recalls.
The dining room's custom-made tables are fumed oak, the vintage Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs have cushions covered in a Larsen linen, the photograph is by Hiroshi Sugimoto, and the fireplace mantel is honed travertine.

A U.S.-based computer service company said in a recently published report that computers from Asustek Computers, Apple and Lenovo/IBM cause the least amount of hardware and software problems to their users and need least technical support from a third-party service provider.
Based on the Computer Reliability Report from Rescuecom company, which compares the share among 15 000 of calls to its service centers against market share of certain PC supplier, Asustek Computers' systems are by far the most reliable on the market of the United States. However, the results should be taken cautiously since Asustek's notebooks shipments in the country got significant only in the second half of 2008 and the vast majority of customers getting Asus-branded devices hardly known about service companies, but more often turn to official tech support, especially given the fact that their systems are covered with a warranty.
"The results are in, and although Asus is the leader this quarter with a reliability score of 972, Asus' reliability score should be taken with a grain of salt, even though it was more than 600 points ahead of IBM/Lenovo. We look forward to seeing if Asus is able to maintain the same demand and reliability over the coming quarters," said David A. Milman, the founder and chief executive officer of Rescuecom.
"We are delighted with, but are not surprised by, this result. We have invested enormous resources in ensuring that our products are of the highest quality, and that our customers get the best after-sales service possible. We are very pleased to see our efforts reaping dividends in the form of a smooth customer experience," said Lillian Lin, director of marketing at Asustek Computer.
Other "most reliable" vendors based on the report from Rescuecom remained unchanged for years now: owners of Apple and Lenovo/IBM personal computers turn to Rescuecom rather rarely. The service company specifically noted that sales of Asus Eee PCs started to skyrocket in late 2008.
What should be noted about the Q1 2009 report by Rescuecom (and a report before that) is that in previous years the reports calculated the "reliability score" for each PC vendor based on the calculated difference between overall U.S. market share, over a three-year period, and the percentage of calls requesting service received by Rescuecom call center over one specified quarter or one year. However, starting from 2008 the service company started to compare the amount of calls over a specified period with the approximate market share in that period (or take market shares from a couple of previous quarters).
This new methodolody substantially alters the outcome as complaints regarding older systems are compared to current market shares. As a result, if a company owned 10% market share three years ago and now has 5% of the market, it will get lower reliability score since it is natural that older systems need more attention from tech personnel. The same is effective in other direction: a company with 10% market share now that used to command 5% of the shipments will get higher score since proportionally to current shipments the amount of complaints will be low.

I have an original Composite Acoustics Bluegrass Performer Guitar with an L.R. Baggs, iBeam pick-up system. Recently the spring loaded battery compartment will not stay clipped in. I have had to tape it down with gaffer's tape to make it work. I noticed the little "tit" that holds the Battery holder in had broken off. Is there any way to order another one of the Battery holders? I love he way the guitar sounds with this system and since it has been cut to accommodate this system I would hate to have to replace it. Thanks in advance for any info and help !

And what was our ranking in rush defense? The Jets had one of the the worst rush defenses in the league. As somebody on this board said last week, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PASS THE BALL IF YOU CAN RUN THE BALL. The Jets couldn't stop the other team's rushing attack. So if the opponent can run all over you, they don't have to pass the ball as much. That "we had a great pass defense without Revis" argument is so full of shit when you factor in the Jets' rush defense ranking. The Jets were out rushed in 7 of the 10 losses.

Council gives OK to build overpass
MARSHALL – A proposed pedestrian overpass and safety improvements for the intersection of Saratoga Street and Minnesota Highway 23 were back before the Marshall City Council at a public hearing Tuesday night. This time around, the project got final approval from council members.
Council members had a few questions about the project at the hearing, but a motion to approve it and order preparation of plans still got unanimous support.
The pedestrian overpass project is part of an ongoing municipal effort to improve safety at the Saratoga/Highway 23 intersection. The city of Marshall received a $3.5 million state grant to build the overpass on the west side of Saratoga Street and build a "J-turn," or reduced-conflict intersection on Highway 23. In May, the city council voted to approve a preliminary design for the overpass.
Chris Cavett of engineering firm Short Elliott Hendrickson went over some of the details of the proposed plan, including the dimensions of the overpass and walkway and safe crossing measures near the mobile home court south of the highway. A crosswalk and pedestrian island would be built on Saratoga Street to help give residents safe access to the overpass, Cavett said.
Council member Glenn Bayerkohler asked why the city was not pursuing a full interchange at the Saratoga/23 intersection.
"When we're spending that amount of money, we want to make sure we consider all the options," Bayerkohler said.
Cavett and Marshall Public Works Director Glenn Olson said a highway interchange would be more difficult to build in that area, and require the city to buy several residential properties.
Neighbors of the project site again urged the council to pursue a lower speed limit on Highway 23 instead of an overpass and reduced conflict intersection.
"One of the key contributing factors in any accident is speed," said Marshall resident David Bero. Bero called for the city to pursue lowering the speed limit on Highway 23 to 40 miles per hour within city limits. He added that he has yet to see a copy of the city's past requests to MnDOT lower the speed limit. "I don't think we've explored all the options."
Marshall City Administrator Ben Martig said city staff are going through past records to try and find the requests for Bero.
Lynd resident Mike Dulas spoke about his experiences as a daily commuter driving on Highway 23.
"This plan is a good plan," he said of the overpass. "But it's not enough." Dulas urged the council to look at more immediate safety options as well, like closing the highway crossing at Saratoga and 23.
After the hearing was closed, the council voted to approve the overpass and safety project.
In other business, the council revisited proposed updates to city zoning ordinances, which included guidelines for building appearances and upkeep, landscaping around commercial and residential properties and storage structures outside a residence or other main building. The proposals had sparked some disagreement last fall among city council members, especially with regards to how much detail some of the standards went into.
In some cases, the proposed ordinance changes brought before the council Tuesday night had been relaxed from their earlier versions. However, they still included some of the landscaping standards that prompted past discussions. The new ordinance standards called for at least 30 percent of a residential or business property to be landscaped and for trees to be planted at a rate of at least one tree per 4,000 square feet of exposed ground, or one tree per 50 feet of the property's street frontage.
The new ordinance proposal also placed limits on the size and placement of vegetable gardens on residential properties. Vegetable gardens could not be located in a front yard, or take up more than 25 percent of a back yard. However, larger gardens could be allowed by a conditional use permit.
Council member John DeCramer said the updated ordinances would give Marshall residents a formal way to address possible eyesores while still protecting a reasonable amount of variation around yards and homes.
Council members voted 5-2 in favor of approving the updated zoning ordinances. Council members Jennie Hulsizer and Larry Doom voted against the proposal.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who�seems to think he's a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, apparently is under the misimpression that the fiscal cliff poses the risk of an immediate increase in budget deficits.
The truth of the matter, as I noted HERE the other day, is exactly the opposite. Going over the fiscal cliff would sharply reduce budget deficits, at least at the outset. The immediate deep�cuts in federal spending and increases in taxes across the board would push budget deficits down but might also push the nation into another recession.
But Jindal got it all ...

City shown 3 options for water, sewer
ALPENA – In August, Alpena Municipal Council hired Gosling Czuback to do a detailed study of the city's water and sewer fees, infrastructure and its service agreement with Alpena Township. During a special meeting Tuesday Professional Engineer Tim Roache shared the results with the council and gave them recommendations on how to fight off repair costs of an aged and vulnerable water and sewer system.
Roache said in the city there are 4,798 users who combined use almost half -billion gallons of water and sewer services. He said Alpena is among the lowest in terms of fees charged to its water and sewer customer, but because of the low rates and little reserves in the appropriate funds, fixing a system with major issues is nearly impossible.
Roach said the city's current capital improvement plan has $3.5 million worth of projects on it for the next seven years. He said the city will not come close to doing those projects unless action is taken. He said to totally update the entire system would cost the city $3.5 million a year for the next 80 years to complete all the work.
Roache gave the council three options that would help generate the $3.5 million for the next seven years of system repairs. The first would be to charge people a use fee of $3.33 per 1,000 gallons for water and $3.23 for sewer. There also would be a debt service charge on each and a capital improvement fee that would bump the bills for people using 6,000 gallons or less a bill of about $129.24 a quarter. For users who use 10,000 gallons it would cost $151.80 every three months.
The second fee possibility called for the city to implement a flat fee for its customers. The charges per gallon would remain the same, but a $30 capital improvement charge would be placed on both water and sewer charges. Roache said he would recommend the third option, which would charge the user for the water it uses, as well as add a flat fee of $30 for both water and sewer.
He said the $30 capital improvement charge would increase each year for the next seven years to help reach the $3.5 million needed to make system upgrades. For a low water consumer it would cost $115.08 for the first year and esculate to $223.08 in the seventh year. Families who use 10,000 gallons a quarter would see a first year bill of $151.80 and increase to $259.80 in the seventh year. Those rates could remain the same afterward if the council chose.
Roache said the position the city and the council is in is not unique and many other cities have raised fees to make improvements. There is are a lot of pipes in place in Alpena that date back to 1905 and like anything else, they will fail.
"I don't think Alpena's situation is much different than cities that have been here for a century or more. The infrastructure is aging and cost a lot to replace," Roache said. "These are legitimate numbers and it is not going to be pleasant to deal with. It is a bitter pill, but at some point it is going to have to be swallowed."
After Roache's report there were a few questions from the council, but no discussion as to what direction the council may want to go. It was decided the issue will be put on the agenda for several upcoming meetings where it will be discussed.

OCZ Technology, a leading supplier of advanced components for personal computers, last week unveiled its new family of solid-state drives (SSDs) that features host controller and DRAM memory buffer operating at increased clock-speeds. The new SSDs will hardly be much faster than comparable devices in real-world applications, still, for those who are looking for maximum performance possible, even a tiny increase may seem important.
The Vertex Turbo Series maximizes SSD performance by increasing both the host clock-speed and the 64MB SDR DRAM cache frequency to 180MHz versus 166MHz on the original series. OCZ Vertex Turbo SSDs will be available in 30GB, 60GB, 120GB and 250GB capacities. Based on the company's estimates, Vertex Turbo can provide 20% - 42% improved sustained write speed compared to the original Vertex SSDs.
"The new Vertex Turbo makes use of the fastest SDR DRAM cache available and a proprietary FTL level firmware that provides an even faster solid state drive for enthusiasts looking for the ultimate desktop or laptop storage upgrade," said Ryan Edwards, director of product management for the OCZ Technology.
Pricing of OCZ Vertex Turbo solid-state drives has not been announced.
