Bulk gift cards
B&B Theatres has implemented a three-tiered discount structure which impacts various applications within our cinema locations. One of these applications is our Discounted Gift Card Program.
Devised to appeal to a range of movie-goers from single families to large institutions, Discounted Gift Cards allow theater credit to be purchased for less than its redemption value. The applicable discount is determined by dollars spent over a twelve month period. The discount tiers are:
- 10% discount: $300-$1499
- 15% discount: $1500-$2499
- 20% discount: $2500 or more
For a practical example, we can take a look at a family of four that attends the cinema once a month. Each visit might cost the family $50, or at total of $600 over the course of a year. This family could achieve the 10% discount and purchase a $600 Gift Card for only $540, allowing them to maintain their same habits for less money!
On a larger scale, a local manufacturer might decide to incentivize each of its 350 employees by giving each a $10 Gift Card to B&B Theatres. From the outset, the option would cost the company $3500. The company, however, earns a 20% savings and drops the total to $2800, or only $8 for every $10 card.
The Gift Cards do not expire, there is no service fee, and the balance on each card can be redeemed toward anything that B&B sells. These options naturally include tickets and concession items, but also extended menu food choices, standees, and alcoholic beverages (where available).
The Discounted Gift Card Program is a simple way to make your dollars go further at the Box Office or to give employees, students, or family members a gift that affords them the freedom to spend how they like!

Group tickets
B&B Theatres offers group VIP ticket packages at a rate significantly below traditional adult evening admission price. This program allows participating organizations to purchase quantities of discounted tickets for distribution to employees, students, faculty, team members, and other applications. Each ticket is sold at a discounted prices and packages of tickets must be purchased in increments of one hundred (100) or increments of 50 beyond that amount (150, 200, 250, etc) . Elementary schools and related organizations will sometimes choose to use the tickets as rewards or incentives. Some colleges and large manufacturing companies sell the tickets to students or employees for only a dollar or two, thus recouping some of the initial cost but still providing a value and discount to the user.
The tickets do not expire and can be redeemed at any B&B Theatres location. While various upcharges would be applied when redeemed for Grand Screen, Marquee Suite, RealD 3D, or other premium, venue-specific features, VIP Tickets are a wonderful way to offer discounted tickets to large groups. VIP Ticket purchases are processed by our corporate office in Liberty, Missouri. Payment information can be kept on file at the office, meaning a phone call or email is all that is required to place an order for tickets. B&B office personnel will ship the tickets (UPS) when payment is processed at no cost to the purchaser.

Super accommodation. Perfect location with the tram stop right outside the door. Really really good breakfast. So we could start to an eventful day in Amsterdam every morning. The next time you stay definitely the first choice. Really to know about. An accommodation in which the ratings are true!

Five stars for hospitality.

Catch up: Federal officers arrest six employees of G3 Holistic for violation of federal marijuana statutes
RIVERSIDE - The president of a medical marijuana dispensary with sites in Upland, Colton and Moreno Valley and his brother will remain in custody over the weekend after appearing in U.S. District Court on Friday.
Prosecutors sought to keep Rancho Cucamonga residents Aaron Sandusky, 41, president of G3 Holistic, and Keith Alan Sandusky, 44, from receiving bail.
"We appealed setting of bond and obtained stays ... meaning the Sanduskys will stay in jail until a district judge reviews the setting of bond," said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.
Aaron Sandusky's bond was set at $200,000 while the bond for Keith Sandusky, in charge of day-to-day operations at G3, was set at $50,000.
The bond for Brandon Anton Gustafson, 30, of Yucaipa, who worked at an Ontario warehouse associated with G3, was set at $100,000, Mrozek said.
Gustafson was expected to be bailed out Friday night.
Federal authorities on Thursday arrested six people - the operators of the Inland Empire chain of marijuana clinics and others associated with an Ontario warehouse that cultivated marijuana for the stores - on drug-trafficking charges.
On Friday afternoon, Aaron Sandusky was dressed in an orange jump suit and was shackled inside U.S. District Court in Riverside. About 12 supporters attended the hearing.
U.S. Attorney Jay Robinson said a couple of videos on YouTube, a video-sharing website, showed why Aaron Sandusky should remain in custody.
In one video, titled "Going to Pot," Robinson quoted Aaron Sandusky as saying, "It's still an illegal drug. So we can be shut down at any time. The police are always monitoring you. And a lot of my friends still won't walk in here because of the federal issue. What are you doing? Do you want to go to jail? Yeah, maybe I do."
Sandusky smiled after hearing Robinson's comment.
"He has no intention of following federal law," Robinson said.
State voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996, allowing medical marijuana in the state, while state Senate Bill 420,which details the amount of marijuana a person can possess for medical purposes, prevents cities and counties from banning marijuana dispensaries.
But federal law says marijuana - medical or otherwise - is illegal.
Aaron Sandusky's federal public defender, Angela Viramontes, said her client has been "overly generous" and described acts of kindness including paying for friends to go to college and helping them with house payments.
Viramontes added that Aaron Sandusky has gout and cardiomyopathy, a heart muscle disease that caused him to go to an emergency room Thursday night because he had not been given his medication on orders from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Aaron Sandusky, if granted bail on Monday, will have an electronic monitor and will not be able to use or possess illegal drugs. He will have to submit to drug and alcohol tests.
Judge Oswald Parada told him the case was "serious now."
"I look forward to it," Sandusky said. "I'm excited."
G3 Holistic member Christopher Kenner attended the hearings on Thursday and Friday.
"I'm really worried for Aaron," Kenner said after the hearing on Friday.
According to an indictment released Thursday, the six defendants in the case are charged in a conspiracy to manufacture and to possess with intent to distribute marijuana.
The indictment also charges all the defendants with possession with intent to distribute marijuana. The two charges each carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The other three defendants - G3- co-founder John Leslie Nuckolls II, 31, of Rialto; Paul Neumann Brownbridge, 29, of Upland, who worked in the Ontario warehouse; and Richard Irwin Kirchnavy, 45, of Rancho Cucamonga, who also worked at the warehouse, were released on bail on Thursday.
Bail for Nuckolls was set at $100,000 while bail for the other two defendants was set at $50,000.
The three who were released are prohibited from using marijuana despite being medical marijuana card holders.
Everyone arrested in the case is due to give their pleas at 8:30 a.m. Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Salt-brine maker
Ken Kraus
Department of Public Works Foreman
Borough of Tenafly, N.J.
When Ken Kraus, a foreman with New Jersey's Borough of Tenafly, stopped to investigate a truck watering a road in 2009, he discovered a real-life anti-icing demonstration. Salt brine, a simple mixture of sodium chloride and water, keeps snow from adhering to and ice from forming on pavement during the critical first hours of a winter storm.
Kraus and Department of Public Works Director Bob Beutel priced the equipment necessary to institute a salt-brine program: nearly $80,000 for a production-and-storage facility and truck.
"We thought, 'How can we do this cheaper?'" says Kraus. He and fellow foremen Randy Blauvelt, Mark Schmidt, and Greg Zaremba answered the challenge by inventing a system.
They called in favors from everyone they knew, including the owner of a tree care company who donated used 250-gallon plastic storage tanks. They used PVC pipe left over from various projects, valves found at the borough's recycling center, a decommissioned fire hose, and a pool pump salvaged from a local home being demolished.
For the delivery system, they installed two tanks in a flatbed truck public works had been using to haul debris during warmer months. To save even more money, they decided to rely on gravity instead of a sprayer to disperse the solution.
Final cost: less than $500.
Once word got out on how well the system works and how little it costs, phone calls came pouring in from neighboring jurisdictions.
"So we started putting them together for other towns," says Kraus. He estimates that between 30 and 40 municipalities in the area now use the salt-brine stations. According to Judy Muller, administrative assistant for the department, Kraus often drives out to other towns on his downtime to help build their systems.
"Whatever I can do to help them save money, I do," says Kraus.
Although this isn't the first homegrown brine-production system we've heard of, it earned a spot on our list of reader innovations because Kraus and his co-workers have done a lot more for Tenafly than melt snow. Their cooperative spirit opened the lines of communication with colleagues in surrounding communities, enabling all of them to operate more efficiently.

text: i figure this is the place for me to tell this story. i'm in a production of sleepy hollow (one show october 28 for those in the north alabama area:) and i've been bringing my knitting with me the other night. i've recently learned and have only in the past two weeks been comfortable enought with what i'm doing that i canknit and read at the same time. so, one of the little girls there asked me if i could teach her how. i brought her some kids needles (the lion brand ones - how cute are those things?) and some of my old yarn, and she just went to town! wasn't really doing it right, but had a ball! (i'm going to keep working with her, but i was so impressed! she's not quite six!) so, now i have four other ladies in the show that are buying needles this week so i can get them started on saturday! hooray! knitting...let it spread like the plague!

So I have two tbhs that are weak. They both have a brood nest of approx five combs. One is seems a bit weak and the other just lacks honey. Well they both lack honey. I am trying to fed them, but they are slow at taking the sugar syrup. I have added lemongrass oil and honey. They do not appear to have any brood disease. So I am not sure what do so with them. At this point if they both perished this winter I would cut all the combs and place them in Lang frames.
So my questions...should I combine them, leave them alone, or try to hive them in a single tbh? I have a 4 ft tbh that I could fit them all in with a fb in between. I don't think that the fb is air tight, but I would fix that with silicone or newspaper or something.

Town Square
Right turn only onto Miranda
Original post made by 100% bicycle commuter, Los Altos, on Oct 17, 2012
I actually don't mind. As a cyclist who has never owned a car, I cherish my own independence and ability to handle any situation. Only occasionally do things become at all a bit close. Rather, this problem far more greatly affects motorists who want to turn right onto Miranda: they're stuck at a (long) red light instead of getting to turn, just because the motorist up front has it wrong!
It occurred to me this morning that as a cyclist, I'm in a unique position to observe what's going on, while the motorists who are stuck behind the stopped car actually can't see what's happening. So today I'm advocating for those motorists: we need to do something about that lane. The four or so signs are not enough or are too ambiguous. There needs to be two completely over-the-top, ridiculously obvious signs that the lane does not turn onto Foothill: one at the beginning of the turn lane (so that a motorist doesn't enter to the right of two columns of stopped cars, only to find out later, when the motorist is locked in, what the true situation is) and one at the turn itself. One possible approach would be to add signs that say what the lane is *not* for: for example, "NO TURN onto Foothill".
Thanks for reading.

I totally understand what you are saying. I need to make a right turn on Miranda every afternoon, but a lot of time I was stuck behind those drivers who are waiting for the green light to go onto Foothill. My guess is they don't want to wait in the long line and by waiting in the right turn only lane instead, they actually get into Foothill earlier because the cars who are following the signs normally have to "yield" to these drivers. I don't think they did not see the multiple signs; hey just ignore them.

@Right Turn
Thanks for your thoughts! I totally agree with you: there certainly are some drivers who knowingly take advantage of that lane. There's not much we can do about them.
But I also believe that the majority of drivers are not completely aware of what they are doing. I think the most dishonest thing that most of the drivers do is get in the right lane without realizing what it means; then when they're stuck, they just hope for the best and plow ahead. So a big, obvious sign at the beginning of the lane saying "NO TURN onto Foothill; no, really, we mean it!" would solve that problem.
And a big, obvious sign at the end that everyone can see might at least make those who are doing what they're doing in full knowledge blush a little.

I feel your pain from the other lane...I regularly turn right from Arastradero onto Foothill and must keep a sharp eye out for both bicyclists and cars that drive ahead from the right-turn-only-onto-Miranda lane. I suspect a lot of these cars are completely oblivious to the signs, especially those unfamiliar with this complicated intersection...in heavy traffic, cars must enter the right-turn lane well before the signs are easily visible (esp if large vehicles obscure the view ahead). Even when the signs are visible, I suspect the unique flavor of this intersection confuses drivers.
a resident of Menlo Park
on Jun 9, 2013 at 11:09 pm
To echo the sentiments expressed on this forum, I also feel this intersection, in its present form, is indeed a serious issue for both cyclist and cars.
I almost got into an accident from a driver who wanted to merge onto Foothill from the right-turn-only-onto-Miranda lane today. What's worse, that young driver honked and shouted obscenities at me, probably not realizing that he couldn't drive straight on a right-turn-only lane, followed by road rage at me with numerous aggressive sudden stops on Foothill (on an otherwise open road). Definitely not a very pleasant feeling to be targeted like that.
I would like to propose that, in addition to the clearer signage, the existing curved dotted white line from the "right-turn-only-onto-Miranda lane" to Miranda Ave needs to be painted solid white line, so that there's no ambiguity that you cannot drive straight on a right-turn-only lane to merge onto Foothill.
Thank you.

I would like to add another data point here. This intersection is highly unusual and needs better signage. Something that clearly denotes "No Turn to Foothills" on the right-turn-only lane to Miranda Ave would be warranted.
It's frustrating to have to watch out from drivers that want to plow ahead full-speed to merge onto Foothill from the "right-turn-to-Miranda-only" lane. Perhaps install a traffic camera? More policing in this area?

Or perhaps some re-striping if there is some room?
Note the striping that is done at the Foothill/Page Mill intersection heading towards the dish. An obvious bike lane is painted in between the right turn lane and the traffic lane that continues towards Junipero Serra.

I got pulled over after turning into foothill this morning and that is .5 miles away from the intersection. The police said her colleague reported one XXX car (same make as mine) stayed in the right-only lane to Miranda and turned directly to foothill.
I took some time to explain and said there could be another similar car violating the rule, and she let me go in the end and said it's my lucky day (really? don't think so).
Then I realize, not only to worry about the cars and bikes, but also need to worry about this kind of surprise.
I believe those "right turn only" signs are not reliable in the end.
A better way is to install some kind of poles or obstacles on the ground (in the right turn corner) to separate the lanes between Miranda and foothill.
I don't know where we can send this idea. to DMV website? or any email box?

I would like to echo the sentiments of how confusing that situation is. I still remember the first time I needed to turn right onto Foothill there and being utterly confused as other motorists honked. I did not know the area then and really didn't understand what I was doing wrong. They improved the sign there -- actually, I want to know what they did with the old one, it had the phrase "Miranda right" on it in a hilarious double meaning and I never got around to taking it's photo before they changed it -- but they didn't improve the clarity of the intersection in advance of people getting locked in.
If people don't know the area, they're not going to want to turn onto Miranda because they won't know where it goes, and they'll just stick it out to go right onto Foothill. I can't imagine that people who knew better would do that because if you are going right very far, it actually sometimes saves time to take Miranda rather than Foothill.

You've bought your smartphone or tablet. It has revolutionised the way you work already. Now it's time to buy some gadgets to make your phone even more indispensable.
Did you know you can use your phone as a scanner, thermometer, credit card terminal? Or attach a telephoto lens to it.
Simple but useful gadgets
The simple, but useful category has a whole pile of reasonably priced gadgets that many a small business owner would find highly useful.
Docks: a standard smartphone or tablet dock allows you to charge and sync the phone on your desk in an upright position so you can use it more easily. Also popular are keyboard docks and cases, which enable the smartphone or table to be used with a standard QWERTY keyboard.
Waterproof phone cases: If your work involves any chance of getting wet, a purpose built dry bag or waterproof case allows you to use the phone, whilst protecting it from moisture.
USB car charger: These simple devices enable you to charge your smartphone or any other USB device through the cigarette lighter plug in your car.
Business owners often find a dual USB charger useful.
External battery cases: is your battery forever running out? It's possible to buy spare batteries and also external battery cases, where the battery, as the name suggests, is in the case. This case will give you hours of extra connectivity. [D1]
Bluetooth Headsets: talk to customers while you drive or keep using your hands to work. A headset is a great time-saving device for business owners. They're particularly good for important business calls in noisy environments such as airports. Wireless, touch activated headsets add another layer of functionality that is well worth investing in if you spend a lot of time talking on your smartphone.
Blue tooth speaker phone: don't risk getting an infringement notice [D2] for talking on the phone while driving. Speakerphones are cheap and easy to use. A good one can also play music or podcasts direct from your smartphone.
Car mounts: you can use your smartphone as a GPS without a car mount. It's just easier with a mount, which allows you to mount your phone to the windscreen.
Clever gadgets
It's astounding what some clever inventors have thought up to plug into your smartphone. In some businesses they will be invaluable.
Thermometer: the food inspection thermometer from iCelsius could be phenomenally useful for those in the food industry. It not only measures temperature of food, but logs the data, to show you or your employee has done the job.
CCTV: smartphones can be turned into security cameras. There are also purpose-built security cameras that are designed to work with smartphones. [D3]
Credit card reader: the SwipeHQ reader (not yet available at the time of writing) will allow Kiwi businesses to swipe credit cards through their smartphones and tablets. That enables credit card processing on the fly without the need for an expensive EFTPOS machine.
pH probe: do you need to do environmental testing, effluent monitoring or commercial swimming pool maintenance? Just plug in the pH probe to your iPhone and take a measurement.
External microphone: get better audio when you record customer testimonials, or other interviews.
Telephoto lenses: if your business needs to take photos it might be worth buying an external telephoto lens. You can also buy an external flash.
Solar chargers: do you work in the great outdoors away from a vehicle or power source? A solar charger may be the answer. An iPhone will recharge in a couple of hours of full sun.
Finally, many of the best business gadgets and accessories are designed for Apple devices. Many can be used on other smartphones with the help of a 30-pin Dock Female to Micro USB Male converter adaptor.

My gauntlets are a thin plastic, don't know who they are made by just got them off a fellow member a while back. My dilema is that it uses velcro to close the gauntlets, but the flamethrower and the part that sticks on the side of the right gauntlets are starting to breakaway from the side of the gauntlet. Not fully broken off but eventually I see it happening, now my main question is...Is there a better way to have them to stay closed other than velcro, because I know that eventually the pieces will come off and I will need to re-attach?
I'm hoping to just get fiberglass ones, because the plastic is really that thin on these and I really wouldn't mind having all my armor to match in fiberglass lol! But also not having much luck on finding the gauntlets ESB style, plus on a tighter budget atm.


text: Alright, go another issue I need some assistance with. I recently put on a 6" suspension lift running 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers. When I had the rims and tires off and everything all disconnected, I checked my pads and rotors (they looked fine, minimal wear for front pads and rotors). I had replaced my hubs about 2 months before doing all of this (so about 6 months ago.) About a month ago, while driving into work I was going about 10 or 15 and heard a sound (metal to metal...like a rubbing sound) but not a constant one, like it would come in for a second while the tires were in a certain position in their revolution. So I think nothing to serious of it, and keep driving it (it's my daily driver/weekend toy). Now I am up in Connecticut, and had the truck shipped up here via an open-style car hauler. I get the truck delivered to my door, pay the guy, and he is gone. I test drive my truck and the sound that I described earlier (metal to metal...rubbing sound) that WAS subtle, is now EXTREMELY loud. I haven't jacked it up to check the hubs/bearings, but any ideas on what it could be? The only troubleshooting I've done is: 1) Driver window down, passenger window up, 10-15 MPH = sound is LOUD. 2) Driver window up, passenger window down, 10-15 MPH = sound not so loud.

Historic Elegance in Greater Kansas City
The Elms Hotel & Spa • Excelsior Springs, MO
Escape Kit
- A One- ($139) or Two-Night ($239) Stay for Two in a Parlor Suite, Sundays through Thursdays, Plus One 30-Minute Massage for One
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Parlor Suite, Fridays and Saturdays ($279)
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Six Nights
The Destination
Excelsior Springs, Missouri, gained fame in the late 19th century when a serendipitous farmer found a mineral well that seemed to brim with healing properties in the shady woods near his land. Word spread, and the town quickly blossomed into a medicinal resort. Today, visitors come not only for a relaxing getaway, but also to check out antiques shopsae burgeoning local art scene, and fine dining.
The Digs
Shortly after the discovery of the area's restorative waters came The Elms Hotel & Spa. It's existed in various incarnations for more than a hundred years, and was twice destroyed by fire. Now, this grand dame of hospitality, fresh off a multimillion dollar renovation, exudes opulence inside and out, from its opulent limestone facade to the 16 acres of trees and gardens that surround it.
Luxury linens and understated décor lend the guest rooms an air of tranquility, and amenities include a spa with an indoor European lap pool, and contemporary Midwest fare at the upscale-casual Eighty-Eight at The Elms. Dishes like the Barham Farms chicken breast, served with polenta and roasted vegetables, sing with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, and a menu of classic cocktails, wine, and local beer complements each meal.
The Diversions
• Indulge in an array of luxe body treatments at the 25,000-square-foot spa
• Sip on a cocktail at The Tavern, an on-site pub-inspired lounge
• Drink in the countryside and some local wines at VanTill Family Farm & Winery
• Take home a taste of Kansas City at Wabash BBQ and Blues Garden
"Founded in the 1880s... this historic building hosted Al Capone and Bugsy Moran during the Prohibition, and President Harry S. Truman the night he bested Thomas Dewey in the 1948 election."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Elms Resort & Spa
"The Elms was a spectacular hotel with an amazing spa and wonderful outdoor pool. I would go back in a heartbeat! Close to Kansas City and a wonderful retreat."-- LivingSocial Member

Hi there,
new to forum, some might know me already. I am among the first Warré beekeepers in Germany, keeping bees in Warrés for nine years now. In fixed comb and frames. I did a lot of experiments in the past with all sorts of hives, fixed comb, treatment free, small cells - now consolidating and trying to unify and standardize more and more while growing in numbers of hives.
Hope to learn and share, though because I lack time I most probably will be a reader mainly.

Stand-up star Russell Peters mines his Canadian-Indian heritage for comedy gold, writes Scott Kara.
Russell Peters loves that he's playing the same-sized venues as his favourite rock band Kiss these days. Which is not bad for a Canadian-Indian stand-up comedian.
"My guiltiest pleasure in life is that I still love Kiss," he says excitedly on the phone from his home in Los Angeles, ahead of his tour to New Zealand and Australia next month.
"They're on tour in your part of the world [Kiss are not playing here, only Australia] while I'm out there as well. We're playing the same venues. We have the same agent so I'm gonna call him and say, 'Look, goddammit, can you get me into one of their shows?"'
Still, it's not like he couldn't afford to buy a front-row ticket - Peters is one of the highest-paid comedians in the world, after all. The Forbes Rich List estimated his earnings at about US$15 million a few years ago.
But then that's what happens when you start packing out arenas around the world - he plays Vector on March 13 - by telling jokes about everything from the fact "immigrant parents beat their kids" to his late father's annoying, but very funny, Indian habits.
"Most comedians would be lucky to play these arenas once in their life; I'm fortunate enough to get to play them twice."
As you can tell, Peters is totally at ease with his superstar comedy status - you could even say he loves the fame. But don't get him wrong, he's not an arrogant rich tosser. He works hard, tours relentlessly and he is open about his desire to be even more popular than he is now. "To star in movies and become a household name would be really nice. But if it never happens it never happens, and I've done more than I should have done in the first place," he says of his humble upbringing in Toronto.
"At this point I'm just looking forward to the gravy part of this meal. Actually, I'm already living in the gravy, I'm just looking for some dessert," he laughs.
How do you come up with new and fresh material, because you are famous for not regurgitating old gags?
I tell ya, it doesn't get any easier that's for sure, it only gets harder. But we're not in this game for the ease of it, we're in it because it's what we love to do.
You get much of your material from touring the world. Any jokes inspired by your trips to New Zealand?
No, because it's a pretty normal place and I really focus more on what seems a little odd - and everything seems to be on track over there in New Zealand. You know, it reminds me of Canada, a country that makes a pretty good contribution to the world but is over-shadowed by the big bully next door.
You're playing arenas these days. But what are your memories of your formative days when you first started performing in your late teens?
There were nights when there were two people in the audience, but you still have to do the show. So I basically sit at their table and tell them my act.
Has your comedy changed dramatically since then?
Oh yeah, because I haven't always done the cross-cultural, world traveller material because I was not cross-cultural or world-travelling. My base [in comedy] was just, you know, pretty horrible observation. And I think I was fortunate because I came into the comedy scene when the boom had just ended, so nobody was really paying attention to comedy, so I could get away with trying anything I wanted at that point. And it was to my advantage because I went through many years of nobody paying attention so I could make as many mistakes as I liked.
When did you hit upon your true style as a comedian?
I don't think you ever get to that level because comedy is one of those things where you're forever challenging yourself and trying to figure out new ways of doing and saying things. Because almost everything has already been said in comedy so it's your job to give your view on it in your voice.
Your parents are very much a part of your comedy routine. Why is that?
It was one of those things... I wasn't aware that they did funny things, it was more because my friends made fun of me about it. And when you are in a situation that doesn't strike you as weird or odd... when you do gain some perspective you think, "Oh yeah, that is a little odd". So I just basically took all the things that people would make fun of me about and put them in the things that I'm celebrating about them [my parents].
I see from your TV special that you're quite a good roller-skater.
I started roller-skating in about 1979. I've been roller-skating since I was a kid. And breakdancing. And boxing. Those were the things that got me through childhood, and now, as a 42-year-old man I still love all of them.
Your Indian heritage and skin colour does give you certain liberties - yet you don't really take too much advantage of it, do you?
Well, exactly. I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world and speaking about the world that way. And obviously there are jokes in there that are regular comedian jokes, and there are some that are very specific to me, and that's how I mix it up. Because you don't want to come and sit through one boring monologue about blah, blah, blah - you make it dirty, you make it clean, and you switch it up.

What: Stand-up comedian on the Notorious World Tour

Sarah Hyland's Best Fashion Moments
This summer I'm all about pastel shades and light materials. When accessorizing a summer tee, I like to layer tons of cute necklaces and a hairpiece to make a simple look a little more exciting! This tee is from H&M and the hairpiece is from Forever 21. The necklaces are ones my mom had collected over the years."
"I definitely feel like accessories can either make or break an outfit. With this look, I am wearing hand-made deconstructed denim shorts, a mint collared t-shirt, and a sheer cover-up from Forever 21. I topped off the minty top with a spiked necklace underneath its collar and a bright blue feather earring to add a pop of color. This outfit is flowy, fun, and super-summery!"

Town Square
Come let's consider nonsense!

What could me more exciting than a FORUM devoted to the lack of content? Can you imagine anyplace in cyberspace where meaningless drivel is invited and defamously speaking is encouraged?
So, in celebration of the new Town(e) Square Forum, bring forth your oxymoron. Celebrate your ability to disclaim the responsible considerations of your neighbors. Revel in open disrespect for discourse.

Dear Dolores,
As the anger settles into laughter, more neighbors are sending along incredible humor about Ms. Allen's "unfortunate editorial." Certainly neighbors had a right to be angry at Ms. Allen's desire to violate their privacy and demand information for Embarcadero Publishing's database. But as noted in other postings, secondary addresses and public computers resolve the registration requirement without any personal disclosure.
Now, neighbors are "licking their lips" in anticipation of Alamo Ron's response and more contributions by Informed Resident and others. One can only imagine the lack of content that will be provided and how joyously humorous the pretense of content will be.
All the folks at Embarcadero Publishing sure know how to entertain us all with their on-line vaudeville.

This new apocalyptic ukase from on high is disturbing, to say the least.
To become untied and turn the tide, we need drivel that is meaningful. There's no dearth of talent in Diablo Vista and environs to come up with incisive and intelligent drivel. My pet gopher agrees (his name is "It"). So, let's "Gopher It" and enhance the drivel level.
How's that for banal drivel?

Voyage-Air goes Americana!
This just in from Voyage-Air Guitar Artist Relations Director, Virginia Cannon:
"Thursday, September 9, 2010 – What an amazing week! Yesterday started early and with a bang! I picked up the legendary John Oates, of Hall and Oates at his hotel to take him to be interviewed for a program called Music Business Radio (MBR), at WRLT, Lightning 100, in Nashville. WRLT is one the oldest independently owned stations in the country. With its inception in 2005, MBR has hosted notable music industry giants such as Kris Kristofferson, Alanis Morrisette, Rodney Crowell, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) Brent Mayer (Elvis Presley's producer), and most recently Rusty Anderson, who also plays a Voyage-Air Guitar on stage with Paul McCartney. Check out Music Business Radio at www.musicbusinessradio.com and also on youtube.
"John Oates will be performing in Nashville tonight as part of the Americana Music Festival, at The Station Inn. The show is at midnight, a coveted spot in the AMA line up, and he will be hosting an all star cast of AAA players including Jon Randall, Guthrie Trapp and Jessi Alexander; certainly a show not to be missed but sadly only for AMA registrants, and not open to the public.
"I ended up my day with Jim Mayer, the bass player for Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, who also has a side project of writing, singing and producing cd's for kids. Check out: www.unclejimrocks.com. He is our most recent Voyage-Air Guitar endorser, and he LOVES our guitar. Stay tuned for more information on Jim, coming up.
"Looking forward to a busy day at the Americana Music Conference where The Mulch Brothers will make a special appearance in our booth today to meet and greet the fans and sign some cds. www.mulchbrothers.com
"Check back in tomorrow for the latest news from the Americana Music Festival. See ya then!"

Methylation turns a wannabe bumblebee into a queen
By Bethany Brookshire, 15:08 PM February 25, 2014
Bumblebees in an established hive live a high school rom-com social life. At the center table is the queen bee, surrounded by males that she created. On the outskirts sit the worker-bee nerds, all female, doomed to never get a date or form a hive of their own. But as in the movie Mean Girls, when the queen bee goes down, sometimes a worker has a chance to claw her way toward the throne. Which wannabee rises to the top is more than personality or fashion sense. It's a matter of epigenetics.

Today is dedicated to a full day on the water after we drive to the boat, about an hour and a half from town in Ucagiz. Our driver is quite skilled manoeuvring the bus down steep and narrow roads with no guard rails all the while missing the land turtles that are everywhere in the countryside. On the way back I counted 8 or so turtles on the road making their way to the rest of their day. The turtles are a fair size ranging up to 12 inches or more in length.
We arrived at the dock to find our boat. The father was the captain, his wife the chief cook and their little girl a general helper. He employed a village lad to help out on the boat. They had a
photographer on board to take your picture for a souvenir. As he takes the pictures, the captain casts off and away we went. When the photographer finished, another small boat came roaring along side and the photographer jumped from our boat to his.
First stop was an ancient ship repair docking area which is now a favourite for swimming. After a hour or so for those who were willing to jump in we motored down a bit further where more swimming was on offer. A delicious lunch was prepared by the captain's wife.
Off again to sail over the underwater city. You can not stop a boat over the city nor is diving permitted. However, most of the sites to be seen have ruins on the shore. It is an old Greek settlement that earthquakes dropped into the sea causing the remaining residents to move across the strait to build their homes and fortifications on more sturdy ground – they hoped. Of course that is where we headed next. Most of the group, sans yours truly, decided to trek up this awful hill, in the heat, to explore the castle
After all of that we returned to the boat for our journey back to the hotel.
Back in Kas, I decided to skip the community meal to try to get my health back to working order at least as good as it gets. I bought some of the wonderful small bananas that grow here and had a short swim, to cool down, ate 3 bananas, had a mineral water and took it easy.

As a child, Deborah Jin remembers going to company holiday parties where most of the attendees were men and they assumed she must be there because of her physicist father. But they were mistaken. She was there because of her physicist mother.
When it comes to hurdles facing women interested in a career in science, "probably the biggest thing is the lack of role models," she said. So it is appropriate that Jin, an international role model as an adjoint professor of physics at the University of Colorado Boulder and a fellow of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has received the 2013 L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science award.
Jin also is a fellow of JILA, a joint institute of CU-Boulder and NIST located on the CU campus. She teaches both undergraduate and graduate students and was one of five recipients who each will receive $100,000 at an awards ceremony in Paris next March. She was the only recipient in North America.
Physics runs in Jin's family, where both of her parents were physicists. Her father taught physics at a university.
"It's not like I considered a whole lot of careers," she says with a smile when asked how she got interested in science. "Physicists have a certain way of thinking, and it rubs off on you."
Jin was cited by the Women in Science awards jury "for having been the first to cool down molecules so much that she can observe chemical reactions in slow motion, which may help further understanding of molecular processes which are important for medicine or new energy sources." The long-sought milestone was achieved at JILA in 2008.
The 15th Women in Science laureates were honored for demonstrating exceptionally original approaches to fundamental research in the physical sciences. The awards jury was chaired by Ahmed Zewail, winner of the 1999 Nobel Prize in chemistry and a professor of chemistry and physics at the California Institute of Technology.
The other four 2013 laureates are from Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Japan and Brazil.
"These five outstanding women scientists have given the world a better understanding of how nature works," said UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova. "Their pioneering research and discoveries have changed the way we think in various areas of the physical sciences and opened new frontiers in science and technology. Such key developments have the potential to transform our society. Their work, their dedication, serves as an inspiration to us all."
Jin has been an adjoint professor of physics at CU-Boulder since 1997. She earned her bachelor's degree in physics from Princeton University and a doctorate from the University of Chicago.
Jin was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2005 and was named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2007.
She is the winner of numerous other awards, including the William Proctor Prize for Scientific Achievement in 2009, the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics in 2008, the I.I Rabi Prize of the American Physical Society in 2005, a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship also known as the "genius grant" in 2003 and a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2000.
Physics continues to run in the family. Jin's husband, John Bohn, is also a fellow of JILA and a research professor of physics at CU-Boulder. They balance their work and family life with their 10-year-old daughter, Jaclyn, "who is excited about going to Paris," she said.
Established in 1998, the L'Oréal-UNESCO partnership is a long-term commitment to recognizing women in science and supporting scientific vocations. For Women in Science has grown into a global program that includes international, regional and national fellowships and an international network of more than 1,300 women in 106 countries.

Paly Students Weigh in on School Board Candidates
Original post made by Student Advocate, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Oct 22, 2012
Web Link
Thanks to the Campanile for their in-depth analysis of the issues and candidates. I hope that PA voters take a similar look at the real issues and vote accordingly! The Paly students endorsed Ken Dauber, Melissa Baten Caswell and Heidi Emberling. They had the most praise for Dauber, and they endorsed the issues he supports to increase �student well-being.� The students particularly mentioned Dauber�s concern for implementing advisory at Gunn, limiting homework, having full usage of Schoology at all schools to help students plan their schedules, and using data to make important decisions about the schools. We can truly let our students know that they are being listened to by also supporting the candidates who support the issues they care about!
For those Online Forum readers who may have missed Paly student Brigid Godfrey�s opinion piece (filed in Around Town) published on Sept. 28, I have excerpted part of it here but encourage everyone to take a look at the whole piece as I think she has something very important to say,something that may relate to the Campanile�s highest rated endorsement of Ken. In Brigid�s mini-bio at the bottom of her piece it says that she believes that �teens should be more involved in their communities� and I am glad that she took the time to write about civic engagement.
From Brigid's piece:
"Guest Opinion: For young persons, knowledgeable engagement equals volcano power":
�What do you feel about having finals before the winter break? What would it take to help you feel more "connected," whatever that means, to your school or community?
Do you feel adults listen enough to teens' ideas or suggestions? Which school board or council candidates do you think might be the best listeners to youth?
And are you prepared enough, armed with enough solid information, to say things that are worth the listening time of others? If teens don't care enough to find out the facts and speak out about their thoughts and feelings, what right does anyone have to complain about "not being listened to"? So dig in and speak out, OK? �
Here is the link to Brigid�s opinion piece:
Web Link
Thank you Brigid for publishing the then upcoming candidate forums. There will be at least one more forum coming up this Wed. afternoon (10/24) at Nixon School at Stanford (3pm). When I attended the Paly forum the students were asking excellent questions. I can see why the Campanile students feel that Ken listens to the concerns of youth and will act to see results in improving their academic, social and emotional realities district wide.
Thanks Brigid for encouraging your fellow Paly students to get involved! And thanks again to the Paly students for your endorsements! Well done!

I agree with the Paly editorial. I work in tech, grew up in PA and live in LAH now. I agree that it is past time to do something to fix Gunn counseling. It was not much help 20 years ago and it doesn't seem that it has improved since. I'm voting for Dauber. He's smart and focused and he's a Google engineer for God sakes. Sounds good to me.

The kids in the high school system are in the best position to judge the merits of each candidate. I would listen to their recommendations.

Just a correction, but the Nixon/Escondido forum is this Wednesday, Oct. 24th, at 7 pm, not 3 pm as mentioned above. It's at Nixon school, and all are welcome.
I'm glad to see that the Paly students are judging Ken Dauber on his merits. I have attended school board meetings with Ken for two years, during which time he has achieved real results for our students. I know him to be a persistent advocate for students, someone who doesn't mind going out on a limb for them, and who has the courage to act on ample data, rather than waiting for the years to go by. Ken's courageous data-driven analysis and recommendations for student well-being will provide much needed leadership.

It is gratifying to know that the Campanile staff is paying attention and appreciates all that Ken is doing to support our students. Thank you Campanile! At the Weekly forum on October 16th when the candidates were challenged to name their number one priority to boost student learning, Ken replied that he would work to ensure the district is listening to students through the use of data. Ken has shown through his tireless efforts advocating at the board for changes that promote student well being that he is listening to our students and often uses their voices captured in data to advocate for them. The board is listening too and has been making progress on the issues that Ken has raised. I hope that the voters listen to our students and vote for Ken Dauber.

I have attended 3 of the forums and I agree with the Campanile's opinion about Dauber, although I put Caswell on an equal footing as to her knowledge of the issues and substance. At the forum put on by the Weekly she said that she supports one counseling system at both high schools, so I am not sure what the students are referring to there. I think she and Dauber have similar views. She certainly has a lot of knowledge about the district at her fingertips.
I have found choosing between the other two candidates to be a little vexing. Emberling often fails to answer questions in a clear and straightforward manner, the same problem that the students speak of. Townsend has a better command of the issues but I dislike giving her a third term. I may simply vote for Caswell and Dauber, in order to boost their chances of being elected.

I have enjoyed the Campanile since my son went to Paly. They have always had astute and exceptional writers and artists. Back when Bill Hewlett's grandson was on the staff, there were some spot-on articles about Palo Alto PD harassing high-schoolers because they didn't dare hassle their parents.
I am so glad to see that the quality, on-target writing continues.
Thanx, Kids!

UTEP Women Tip Off 2013-14 Season At Home Friday
Nov. 6, 2013
Like UTEP Women's Basketball On Facebook
EL PASO, Texas –UTEP embarks on its 40th season of women's basketball when it plays host to UTPB at 7 p.m. MST at the Don Haskins Center Friday.
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for kids and there will be three raffle ticket giveaways at halftime. Other giveaways include three-point Miner Cards, slap bracelets, 2013-14 schedule posters & flip cards. Audio & video of the contest will be available through subscription-based Miner TV on UTEPAthletics.com.
The game will mark the start of a season-opening six-contest homestand, with the Miners also set to face NM State (7:05 p.m., Nov. 12), Kansas State (2 p.m. Nov. 16), Northern Arizona (7:05 p.m., Nov. 22), Northern Colorado (7:05 p.m., Nov. 27) and Texas State (7:05 p.m., Nov. 30).
"We are excited to get the season started," UTEP head coach Keitha Adams said. "Friday night will be a big night for us. We look forward to getting things going."
The Miners tuned up for the lid lifter by thrashing St. Mary's, 81-51, in their lone exhibition tilt of the preseason on Nov. 2. Senior Kayla Thornton led the way with 22 points while sophomore Cameasha Turner (11 points), senior Kelli Willingham (10 points) and Jenzel Nash (10 points) joined her in double figures. Senior Kristine Vitola flirted with a double-double (nine points, nine rebounds), and Thornton was second on the squad in boards (five).
UTEP is 20-19 all time in season openers, including 7-5 under Adams. The Miners, coming off their fourth 20+ win season in the past seven years, will be looking to mirror past teams with a quick start out of the gates. UTEP is 15-3 in the month of November since 2010, and it stands 38-22 all time in the month during the Adams era.
Four starters and seven letterwinners return from the 2012-13 squad, including Nash and Vitola being back on the court after taking a redshirt due to torn ACLs. UTEP also added seven newcomers to the mix, with each of them earning playing time in the exhibition victory against the Rattlers.
UTPB, which competes at the NCAA Division II level, went 21-8 last year and claimed the 2013 Heartland Conference regular-season crown with a record of 11-1. The Falcons earned an at-large bid into the NCAA South Central Regional and picked up the program's first tournament victory by bouncing Abilene Christian, 70-68.
It was predicted to finish second in the league in 2013-14, but will have to do so without the services of 2013 Heartland Conference Player of the Year Teisha King & first-team All-Heartland Conference honoree Tanique Ards. UTPB, just like UTEP, has seven newcomers in the mix.

This has gone beyond complaining into troll status
This needs to be deleted before it gets ugly.
OK.....Lets look at the stats......2 SB Wins ! In first place in the Div. I have the Answer, Tom C. will Win the GB game, and everyone will be happy ! Then lets Win one game a time !
What you say doesn't make sense. In sports winning is everything. He does it his way because he has had much success with his way. Seems to me most successful coaches are stubborn. Parcells and Belichik come to mind.
If you had a vote from knowledgeable football people I think you will find the Giants did not have the most talented group of players in either of their recent Super Bowl years. That's why they are never picked to win anything at the beginning of the year. Those predictions are usually based on raw player talent. I know a lot of you think that all the media people are biased against us but I think most of them are making an honest assessment of our players. I think the coaching staff has a lot to do with the fact that we had those two Super Bowl runs and haven't had a losing season for a while. That is not to downplay the players. There is a lot of talent there but in my opinion it is the coaches who make the difference between our experience and that of the Eagles and Cowboys, for example.
In any case, highly doubtful TC will be fired for a while even if the team doesn't do so well this year. He's earned some leeway for losses.

text: I went to look at my hives last week and saw a small swarm gathered on a weed stem. They were about the size of your fist. I had to go out so I put them in a hive body with some foundation.

I have a large kitalpa in the front of my house, it has been home to a large honey bee hive for the past 5 years. These bees are nice and have never stung anyone. Last year their hive was attacked by yellow jackets, it almost broke my heart to see the bees fight to protect their hive only to be bit in half by those nasty YJ's. I tried to help them out by stuffing cotton in a part of the tree that was a secondary opening. This seemed to give the bee's an edge, because they were fighting on 2 fronts and not winning. The hive survived the raid and the bee's seem to be doing fine. Now they have another villain to conten with, the neighborhood boys...They have taken an interest in the hive an have started pelting the opening with anyting round and hard. I've talked to the kids, but we all know how teenagers are. I have tried to find someone who will relocate the hive, but folks in my area are more interested in killing them. If anyone know's of someone in the "silicon valley" who can help, please respond. I love these bees and don't want to see them die. The hive opening is about 13 feet located in the "Y" of the tree. sorry for the long story, but ... these bee's need a little R.S.P.C.T -
thanks in advance for any help.

ALFRED, Maine (AP) — The Zumba instructor who ran a prostitution business in which she videotaped unsuspecting clients so her business partner could watch has been released from jail in Maine.
Alexis Wright left the York County Jail at about 7:45 a.m. Saturday after serving nearly six months of a 10-month sentence that was reduced because of good behavior and participation in a work program.
She got into a waiting SUV without commenting.
The prostitution scandal featuring sex videos, detailed ledgers, adultery and more than 100 clients in a picture-perfect New England town generated headlines around the world.
The 30-year-old Wright pleaded guilty to prostitution, as well as several welfare- and tax-related charges. Her married business partner was convicted of promoting prostitution.
