The New York Children's Theater Festival seeks to expand the dialogue on the importance of theater for youth within the New York theater community as a whole.

My son is obsessed with trains. B's favorite books are about trains, his favorite shirt has a train on it, he plays with his electric train the first thing in the morning and our train table has earned its value a million times. When I took out a single hole punch for my personal use, he was instantly drawn to it. After hole punching his heart out with a piece of paper, he announced to me, "Where's your ticket?"
On this day we used an old train ticket and a single hole punch. He has to focus really hard to coordinate the hole punch and ticket alignment. While a hole punch and ticket is automatically an imaginative train game to my son, I'd love to hear what other children imagine the ticket is for. Please share your ideas: where will your child's imagination take them with a hole punch and a "ticket"?

text: Goodness knows that if you have 14 kids and no job other than using your body to clean shiny metal poles in a club, then you might have some stress. Apparently just two days after Nadya got out of rehab for her Xanax addiction she got a medical marijuana card. Yeah, one addiction for the other. She has not given up booze either. According to TMZ, Nadya only uses pot in food form and only when the nannies are not present. You know, in other words, when she has no help. Presumably she boozes when solo too. You know that those kids are probably into those brownies or will be. I don;t see her locking them away and thinks the kids won't find her secret hiding spot. The thing is, if you take the kids away, they will all be split up.

Important delivery notice
The products on this site are only delivered to UK addresses. If you require delivery to another country please visit one of our other sites below.
The largest blackcurrant we have ever seen - and with a lovely sweet flavour too. The large, glossy, strong-skinned fruits weigh on average 2.9g each, compared to a weight of 1.1g in standard varieties! This blackcurrant bush produces up to 4.5kg of fruit per plant at maturity, Blackcurrant 'Big Ben' is a high yielding cultivar and deservedly won an RHS Award of Garden Merit at recent trials. The fruits are borne on naturally arching stems for easy picking and are sweet enough to be eaten fresh or used in cakes, jams and crumbles. Also has excellent mildew resistance. Height and spread: 120cm (47").
We supply established, healthy 1-year old bareroot pre-pruned plants which will quickly establish once planted.
Estimated time to cropping once planted: 16-20 months (4-8 months for cordon plant)
Estimated time to best yields: 16-20 months.
After planting, reduce the stems to 2 buds above ground level to promote sturdy new growth. Keep blackcurrant plants well watered during dry periods, particularly as the fruits are developing. Netting the bushes will help to protect the currants from birds. Blackcurrants can be harvested from July.
After the first season, prune out any thin or weak shoots. In the following years prune out any damaged or weak shoots before removing 20% of the remaining stems to create an open bush, and encourage fresh new shoots to develop. Culinary note: Blackcurrants are delicious when eaten fresh in a fruit salad or added to a colourful and tasty summer pudding. Suitable for freezing.
Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above. Plants, bulbs, corms, tubers, shrubs, trees, potatoes etc are delivered at the appropriate time for planting and will be stated on the product page or in your order acknowledgement page and email.

One of my three plants is growing fine, the other two look diseased. Falls well below the standard I was hoping for.
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to learn of your disappointment with your purchase. If you would like to contact our Customer Care Department at email@example.com, one of our agents will be more than happy to look in to this further for you.
By Sean Fox 13-05-2014
Very healthy plant delivered with a really well established root system and 3 stems. It's growing away strongly at the moment with plenty of flowers/fruit developing. Can't wait to taste them. Very pleased with this plant and excellent service from T&M as usual.
Thank you for your review. I hope we can continue to be of service.

Steve Lafler brought his show on the road again this year with an all-out Rock & Roll Dog Book Party in the city by the bay, San Francisco! What can we say? Steve is one happy puppy and couldn't wait to celebrate the publication of Doggie Style: The Complete Dog Boy, his newest book from CO2 Comics featuring his oldest and most beloved character.
The party, held at the Mercury Cafe on July 25th, had Dog Boy's fleas jumping all night with tail wagging sets from Steve's very own country/punk band The Dick Nixon Experience that he heads up with his old pal Scotty Hoover.
Between sets there was plenty of food and libations to go around and of course lots of book signing because Steve was toting around stacks of paperback and hardback editions of his huge 488 page omnibus Doggie Style: The Complete Dog Boy, thanks to his wildly successful Kickstarter campaign where he was able to nearly double his intended goal!
Steve knows how to put together a road trip, reminding us how he hit the ground running last year to promote his first CO2 Comics graphic album, Ménage à Bughouse a 408 page compilation of his Bughouse trilogy.
We're happy that Steve is happy! He has earned his doggie treats. He began publishing Dog Boy back in 1982 and was one of the early indy publishing pioneers of the Direct Market. We first met and were inspired by him when we were young publishers with Comico. Since the early days with his Cat Head imprint, Steve has brought Dog Boy and his other creations to readers through various publishers like Fantagraphics and Top Shelf. We are thrilled that our relationship with Steve has come full-circle and we can now boast having published Steve's work here at CO2 Comics!
Steve has given us the wonderful opportunity to serialize three of his greatest comics, El Vocho, Bughouse and Dog Boy as web comics on our CO2 Comics site where they can be perused for free at any time. Check 'em out and see how quickly you get sucked in to Steve's eclectic and energetic art and stories!
Steve's work is so voluminous that we couldn't wait to collect them in print. Steve had already beat us to the punch with El Vocho, but hey, we like big chunky books so we jumped on collecting the Bughouse trilogy and the massive collection of Dog Boy comics. The results are two tremendous graphic album collections, Ménage à Bughouse and Doggie Style: The Complete Dog Boy available in hardback and paperback editions directly to you Print On Demand from our Lulu storefront! with all of our other great creator owned product.
So if you are in San Francisco keep an eye out for stray dogs because the party may be over but Steve is out there somewhere struttin' his stuff in style. Doggie Style, that is!
Making Comics Because We Want to,
Gerry Giovinco


text: I missed the block being upside down because the difference in the color placement was small. (I need new glasses.) I don't have a cat upon which to blame the mistake. I do have a chihuahua who loves to help, so it could be his fault! HA HA! I pieced it and put it aside for a while to work on baby blankets for my new granddaughter. I guess those are the best excuses I have for just being careless. Thanks for all the comments. I do plan to hang it when I get finished arranging my weaving room. I will post pictures then. I learned a valuable lesson. More than measuring twice and cut once...look carefully three times! LOL!

Abuse Reporting and Blacklisting
The OpenBL.org project (formerly known as the SSH blacklist) is about detecting, logging and reporting various types of internet abuse. Currently our hosts monitor ports 21 (FTP), 22 (SSH), 23 (TELNET), 25 (SMTP), 110 (POP3), 143 (IMAP), 587 (Submission), 993 (IMAPS) and 995 (POP3S) for bruteforce login attacks as well as scans on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) for vulnerable installations of phpMyAdmin and other web applications. For every logged attack an email is sent out to the contacts listed in the whois record and/or the reverse IP SOA information of the attacking hosts IP address, just a few seconds after the attack or scan started. It is our hope that the responsible administrators use the provided information to quickly secure and clean the misused and probably compromised hosts.
Additionally the IP gets published on a public blacklist, which is updated every few minutes and contains IP addresses of hosts which attacked any of our currently 29 hosts (all running OpenBSD or some Linux distribution). The hosts are located all around the world and setup to report and log those attempts to a central database, very similar to all the spam blacklists out there.
The newest entries are always added to the top of the lists. An attack is logged as retry if the same IP is logged again at least 48 hours later from the same host or from any other host that reports those attacks. To prevent a too high retry count all hosts that report are within different IP ranges from different providers.
Most of our abuse reports come from hosts that were donated to the project from individuals or companies. Without this generous help the project wouldn't be possible! If you like what we are doing and use our service please think about if there is anything you (or your company) can do to help to improve our service even more.
You received a mail that your IP is listed here?
Delist yourself!

Cracker Barrel: 'We remain interested in New Bern'
NEW BERN - The City of New Bern released Friday that Cracker Barrel Restaurant & Store is not coming to the mall property located at Dr. MLK Jr. Boulevard. City representatives said they made contact with Cracker Barrel management Thursday afternoon and were informed of the decision.
Cracker Barrel representatives said the cost of the project was the reason for the change in plans, including preparation of the lot located on the southeast corner of the mall property right next to Chick-Fil-A.
Cracker Barrel issued the following statement to NewsChannel 12:
"Cracker Barrel Country Store identified New Bern as a growing, vibrant community that we feel would be a viable location for one of our stores. We began the development process and had received necessary permits. The decision not to continue this process is based purely on costs. Members of city government and the community within we worked were professional and gracious throughout the process. It is important to note that even though we are not developing at this particular site, we remain interested in building a store in New Bern at some time."
The City said it has also reached out to the Hull Storey Gibson group, the principal owners of New Bern Mall. The mall owners said the location is a prime site for development and they are confident they'll find another tenant.

Jane Goodall Date of birth: April 3, 1934
Print Biography
A precocious reader in a family of women who encouraged intellectual accomplishment, Jane read everything she could get her hands on about wild animals and Africa. She did well in school despite an unusual neurological condition, known as prosopagnosia, which makes it difficult to recognize faces. Unable to afford a university education, she moved to London after school to work as a secretary for a documentary film company. When an opportunity arose to visit a friend's family in Kenya, she returned to Bournemouth and worked as a waitress in a local hotel, living at home to save money for her trip.
In Kenya she was introduced to the legendary anthropologist Louis Leakey. Leakey hired her as an assistant and secretary and she accompanied him and his wife Mary on an archeological dig at Olduvai Gorge. A leading authority on the evolution of man, Leakey knew there was a lack of hard data concerning the behavior of chimpanzees -- our nearest evolutionary relatives -- in the wild. Although Jane lacked scientific training, or even a college degree, she was eager to attempt the research herself. Despite Leakey's confidence in her abilities, other experienced professionals did not believe a lone young woman from England could survive in the African bush.
Her habit of giving the chimps human names was a sharp departure from established practice, which dictated that animals be given numbers, not names. It was believed that the numbering system prevented researchers from investing the animals with human emotions, but Goodall believed that understanding animal behavior requires the observer to see animals as individuals, rather than interchangeable specimens. In fact, she found the chimps in her study group to have widely divergent personalities and complex family relationships. Readers of her books have come to know many of the Gombe chimpanzees by name, including the high-ranking female known as Flo, her daughter Fifi, and Fifi's ferocious son, Frodo.
In Tanzania, Goodall met Hugo van Lawick, a Dutch wildlife photographer and filmmaker. His photographs of Jane Goodall and the Gombe chimps in National Geographic magazine drew widespread attention to her work and helped win increased support for the research.
On the advice of Louis Leakey, Goodall retuned to England to earn a doctorate in ethology, the science of animal behavior, at Cambridge University. In 1964, Goodall and Van Lawick were married in London. Her husband held the title of baron in the Netherlands; during their marriage, Jane Goodall was often referred to in the press and elsewhere as Baroness van Lawick. She received her doctorate from Darwin College, Cambridge, in 1965. The couple returned to Tanzania, where she established the Gombe Stream Research Centre.
In the 1970s, Dr. Goodall began to observe a darker side of chimpanzee life, including a four-year war between two bands of chimps, marked by extreme savagery and acts of cannibalism. Her field research suggests that the aggressive and warlike behavior of humans is deeply rooted in our primate ancestry.
In 1977, Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation. While the Institute initially focused on supporting continued field research on wild chimpanzees, its work has expanded to promoting the power of individuals to protect the environment for all living things. As of this writing, the Goodall Institute has 19 offices around the world, operating community-centered conservation and development programs, principally in Africa. She later founded a youth program, Roots and Shoots, which now operates in over 100 countries.
For many years, Jane Goodall has been an outspoken opponent of the use of chimpanzees in medical research, and has campaigned for the more humane treatment of research animals when their use cannot be done away with altogether. Other dangers to the world's chimpanzees include the erosion of their natural habitat through careless development, and the hunting of wild chimpanzees for the luxury "bush meat" trade. Her fight to preserve the world's chimpanzee population has included service on the board of the world's largest chimpanzee sanctuary, Save the Chimps, in Fort Pierce, Florida.
For 45 years, Jane Goodall continued her firsthand observation of the chimpanzees at Gombe, gaining constant insight into the variety of their social behavior, ranging from senseless cruelty to extreme tenderness. As late as 1987, she observed an adolescent chimpanzee adopt a three-year-old orphan who was not a close relative, a demonstration of altruism that was long thought to be beyond the capacity of animals. The essence of her scientific work appears in her book The Chimpanzees of Gombe: Patterns of Behavior, the definitive work on the behavior of chimpanzees. Her work forms the core body of knowledge on social learning among chimpanzees. It helped differentiate chimpanzees from a related species, the bonobo, and led to the classification of chimps, bonobos and gorillas -- alongside human beings -- as hominids.
Although Jane Goodall's discovery of group violence among chimpanzees suggests that aggressive behavior is deeply rooted in our evolutionary past, her observations of kindness and selfless behavior among the chimps of Gombe shows that these traits too are part of our evolutionary heritage. She maintains our ability to reason and learn from shared experience will yet enable us to preserve a livable environment for ourselves and all our fellow creatures. Today, Jane Goodall travels nearly 300 days a year, circling the globe to share her message of hope, and encouraging young people to work for a better world.

When children are urged to eat up their greens maybe they fantasise about a day when they will be grown up and can eat in restaurants and order whatever they like. Dream on, kiddies. The way restaurants are going they'll soon be more prescriptive than the noblest parents.
James Lowe, the chef who has just opened Lyle's in Shoreditch, was once part of The Young Turks collective, which admirably celebrated indigenous ingredients and small producers. After The Loft Project, the chaps — all male — went on to run the extended pop-up Upstairs at The Ten Bells, opposite Spitalfields market. Another Young Turk was Isaac McHale, who now cooks at The Clove Club, also in Shoreditch, in the Town Hall as a matter of fact.
Both Lowe and McHale, in the evenings anyway, favour a set-price tasting menu. At Lyle's this comprises seven courses ranging from bite-size through sizeable and back for the relatively reasonable price of £39 plus service. Everyone must have it, although substitutions are made for those with dietary issues.
Because I was a child such a long time ago I fondly, foolishly cling to the notion that a visit to a restaurant should be fun, an arena for flirtation, waywardness, competition — who's made the best decision? — deal-making, ball-breaking and general otherness from the duties of the day. Perhaps it must be defined as progress that some current venues are where Papa preaches.
In a part of The Tea Building, which also accommodates Pizza East, B3 Designers have created an uplifting, functional space perfectly pitched for the reminiscences of an industrial building. Chefs can be seen beavering away and Ercol chairs are the furniture equivalent of fish and chips (line-caught, naturally). Acoustic panels in the high ceiling mercifully ameliorate noise and music is just the hum of conversation.
I am booked under the name of Tate. Although I have encountered manager and Lowe's business partner John Ogier at St John Bread and Wine — at the time when Lowe was chef there —and at Gymkhana, owned by Lyle's backers the Sethi family, we maintain grave indifference. It is only when I order a 500ml carafe of 2010 Valtellina Superiore "Carteria" Fay (the producer) from Lombardy that he rows back into his delightful self.
Excellent sourdough — not yet made in-house — with vivaciously salted butter whipped on the premises is brought followed spit-spot by grilled asparagus spears (two each) with walnut mayonnaise (great creation). Charring — beneficial on the lemony "grass" and also later browbeating sweetness from spring onions with ramsons and sheep's yoghurt —becomes a bit of a trademark. On aged Dover sole it is grittily aggressive.
Ageing fish seems not only counter-intuitive but a rebuttal of all we hold dear, but apparently Japanese sushi chefs make a case for it (when the fish is raw) and sole is a fish that actually can benefit from idling around. However, it is not a successful course and the accompanying squeaky leaves of sea beet are frankly horrible.
Beforehand a chunk of chicory spear cradling blood cake (aka black pudding) with a sour puddle of damson juice is also not much liked. "A bit stingy," says one of my companions, adding defensively, "and I've got a small mouth."
Jacob mutton, angling for the title of main course, upholds this breed's reputation for leanness and tenderness. More dark green leaves — this time chard — are thankfully alluringly buttery. Anchovy is a cunning way of salting lamb and so it proves here.
When a kitchen turns out the same meal for everyone there is nowhere to run when systems shudder or seize. Some long waits are followed by what seems like eternity between the mutton and baked Riseley cheese — presumably Waterloo from the Wigmore family in Riseley, Berkshire. It has melted like fondue and is wonderful with fiercely grilled bread and a salad of Chegworth leaves with a blissful dressing.
Rhubarb and custard — more like a yoghurty mousse — is also diverting and as we leave, delicious little cakes like madeleines made with browned butter are pressed into our hands.
Just as I prefer eating à la carte at The Clove Club, I would next visit to Lyle's at lunchtime in order to pick and choose on the menu, which evolves and changes day by day, and gambol through the interesting wine list marked up with restraint, where quite a lot is available by glass and carafe.
Then, I think, I wouldn't feel quite so reproved by a dining experience.
The Tea Building, 56 Shoreditch High Street, E1 (020 3011 5911, lyleslondon.com). Open weekdays from 8am. Lunch Mon-Fri noon-2.30pm. Dinner Mon-Sat 6pm-11pm. Evening menu £39. Bottle of wine from £21. A la carte lunch for two with wine about £92 including12.5 per cent service.

Phillies 3, Mets 2: Kyle Kendrick tossed 7 2/3 solid innings to collect his career-high fourth straight victory and Ryan Howard snapped a tie with a sacrifice fly as host Philadelphia salvaged the finale of its three-game series.
Kevin Frandsen, who scored on Howard's fly ball to left field in the fifth inning, collected four hits - including an RBI single. John Mayberry added three hits and former Met Ty Wigginton ripped a run-scoring double for the Phillies, who ended a five-game home losing skid to their National League East rival.
Kendrick (8-9) settled down after yielding solo homers to Mike Baxter and Scott Hairston in the first and second innings, respectively. The right-hander struck out six and retired 13 batters in a row before exiting the contest in the eighth after issuing two straight singles.
Raul Valdes ended the threat by recording a one-pitch groundout and Jonathan Papelbon secured his 30th save by retiring the side in the ninth. Papelbon has reached the 30-save plateau in each of his last seven seasons.
Jimmy Rollins ripped a double in the sixth inning, but was caught in a base-running blunder one batter later. Manager Charlie Manuel promptly replaced Rollins with Michael Martinez to start the seventh inning.
Jonathon Niese (10-8) fell to 2-1 against the Phillies this season after permitting three runs on nine hits in six innings. Niese has pitched 16 consecutive starts of at least six frames.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Baxter deposited the second pitch he saw from Kendrick out of the park for his second homer of the series - and season. ... Playing in his major-league debut, Philadelphia C Steven Lerud singled to left-center field for his first career hit. ... The Phillies tied a season high with five doubles. ... The last time the Mets won six in a row at Philadelphia was during the 1971 season. ... Fifteen of Wigginton's 40 RBIs have come against the Mets this season. ... New York will open a three-game set in Miami on Friday. ... Philadelphia will visit the Peach State for a three-game series versus Atlanta.

Well-known, long-time residents in Auckland's sunny Eastern suburbs, Jerry and Robin Rea, are rightfully proud of the wonderful home they built when their five children were young in the 1970s.
They're even more proud of it now, following a major redesign and refurbishment project in 2000 that saw the interior and exterior slip seamlessly into the new millennium. "We were lucky enough to be able to have exactly what we wanted," Jerry explains. "And we've really looked after it!"
Although those children have long since flown the nest, they still return regularly with their own offspring - of which there are 12 - and once again the pool area rings with splashing and happy chatter.
Granddad likes to take charge of the barbecue, set in its own cute cabana, and no one need wander into the house with sandy feet because there's also a changing room with his-and-hers cubicles, a toilet and an outdoor shower. When the weather's cooler, the couple and their friends often enjoy a spa under the stars.
A large upstairs open living area inside has glorious sea views and is an ideal spot for observing the constantly changing water traffic.
This area features a cosy "snug" at one end, where Jerry and Robin like to read or watch TV in winter, a huge and expansive modern kitchen with masses of cupboard capacity, an elegant dining space and copious room for more formal living.
"Robin's an amazing cook," Jerry says proudly. "I really knew what I was doing when I married her."
His wife smiles modestly, but agrees they've had some memorable dinner parties here, not to mention retired accountant Jerry's 70th birthday celebrations when 100 people gathered on the room and surrounding deck - with plenty of space to spare.
With five good-sized bedrooms, many with sea views, the house is primed for the arrival of a new family. Queues in the morning are unlikely to be a problem with three standard bathrooms, a separate toilet and an en suite in the master bedroom, which also features a huge walk-in wardrobe.
There's also a stand-alone laundry downstairs.
"It's not one of those compact-in-a-cupboard ones," Robin declares. "I like plenty of space to work in."
An outside door leads to a charming garden area where masses of hydrangeas are about to burst into bloom and three raised beds are practically groaning with healthy produce.
Despite its size, there isn't a single blade of grass on the section.
"It's good not having a lawn to mow," Jerry laughs, "but there are lots of hedges to trim. Luckily I find that job rather relaxing."
This stalwart of the local community, holder of a QSM for services to sport and charity, likes nothing better than to potter outside, often wandering down to the beach, reached via an easy access pathway.
"The Glendowie Boating Club is right there, and our boys belonged when they were young."
Jerry once swam across the harbour to Bucklands Beach. "I cleverly waited until the tide was right out," he reveals, grinning.
Like most people contemplating a major life change, Jerry and Robin have mixed feelings about downsizing to their new home nearby, which is significantly smaller.
"I have to be realistic and accept that one day I won't be able to look after this huge section. Robin always has the house looking absolutely spotless, and it's a lot of work for her, too."
Needless to say they both hope a new family will be as happy here as they have been.
"That's really important to us."

"It Was Dreadful In The Forest"
I have said--or perhaps I have not said, for my memory plays me sad tricks these days--
that I glowed with pride when three such men as my comrades thanked me for having
saved, or at least greatly helped, the situation. As the youngster of the party, not merely in
years, but in experience, character, knowledge, and all that goes to make a man, I had
been overshadowed from the first. And now I was coming into my own. I warmed at the
thought. Alas! for the pride which goes before a fall! That little glow of self-satisfaction,
that added measure of self-confidence, were to lead me on that very night to the most
dreadful experience of my life, ending with a shock which turns my heart sick when I
think of it.
It came about in this way. I had been unduly excited by the adventure of the tree, and
sleep seemed to be impossible. Summerlee was on guard, sitting hunched over our small
fire, a quaint, angular figure, his rifle across his knees and his pointed, goat-like beard
wagging with each weary nod of his head. Lord John lay silent, wrapped in the South
American poncho which he wore, while Challenger snored with a roll and rattle which
reverberated through the woods. The full moon was shining brightly, and the air was
crisply cold. What a night for a walk! And then suddenly came the thought, "Why not?"
Suppose I stole softly away, suppose I made my way down to the central lake, suppose I
was back at breakfast with some record of the place-- would I not in that case be thought
an even more worthy associate? Then, if Summerlee carried the day and some means of
escape were found, we should return to London with first-hand knowledge of the central
mystery of the plateau, to which I alone, of all men, would have penetrated. I thought of
Gladys, with her "There are heroisms all round us." I seemed to hear her voice as she said
it. I thought also of McArdle. What a three column article for the paper! What a
foundation for a career! A correspondentship in the next great war might be within my
reach. I clutched at a gun--my pockets were full of cartridges--and, parting the thorn
bushes at the gate of our zareba, quickly slipped out. My last glance showed me the
unconscious Summerlee, most futile of sentinels, still nodding away like a queer
mechanical toy in front of the smouldering fire.
I had not gone a hundred yards before I deeply repented my rashness. I may have said
somewhere in this chronicle that I am too imaginative to be a really courageous man, but
that I have an overpowering fear of seeming afraid. This was the power which now
carried me onwards. I simply could not slink back with nothing done. Even if my
comrades should not have missed me, and should never know of my weakness, there
would still remain some intolerable self-shame in my own soul. And yet I shuddered at
the position in which I found myself, and would have given all I possessed at that
moment to have been honorably free of the whole business.
It was dreadful in the forest. The trees grew so thickly and their foliage spread so widely
that I could see nothing of the moon-light save that here and there the high branches
made a tangled filigree against the starry sky. As the eyes became more used to the
obscurity one learned that there were different degrees of darkness among the trees--that

Tara Reid loses a limb in the first ten minutes of Sharknado 2: The Second One. See it for yourself.
Tonight is the night we have all been waiting for – Sharknado 2: The Second One. Check out everything you need to know about the movie plus video clips here.
The trailer for "Sharknado 2: The Second One" has just been released and you don't want to miss it.
It's the Teen Choice Awards. Have a look at some of the young, hot Hollywood stars on the red carpet in their sexy outfits.
It's the Young Hollywood Awards and stars like Sharknado's Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Aisha Tyler, Alyssa Milano, Derek Hough, Selena Gomez, & many more are here!
It's National Orgasm Day and coincidentally, this year it falls on Hump Day, so let's celebrate with the Top 15 funniest orgasm clips from movies and TV.
The 'Sharknado' sequel has been approved for the invasion of New York City. And, the name of the sequel is rumored to be determined by Twitter! Details here!
'Sharknado' is all the rage on Twitter with fans wanting a sequel already, but count DWTS' Derek Hough out. He refused to watch Tara Reid & Ian Ziering on film.
What's Tara Reid up to these days you ask? Trying to save the country from a shark-tornado, duh!
Invite yourself to an American Reunion, come to the rescue of collegiate Damsels in Distress, track the elusive with The Hunter and make a deadly withdrawal at the ATM.
So everybody's talking about ultra-skank and Trainwreck 100 inductee Tara Reid appearing in Playboy this month to show off her finally corrected plastic surgery. If that's what floats your boat, good on you for taking a break from your RealDoll…
The pressure of being just another Hollywood also-ran drove her to serious alcohol abuse and idiotic plastic surgery, and what was once a bubbly, baby-faced blonde was transformed into a slurring, perma-tanned disaster on wheels.

Video: Watch video of psychic elephant predicting Black Stars defeat at the World Cup
Watch video of psychic elephants predicting Ghana's defeat at the hands of Germany in their Group G clash at the World Cup this month.
An elephant, famed for its psychic prediction of the results of football matches, has projected that Germany will defeat Ghana at the World Cup, making it difficult for the Black Stars to reach the second round of the competition in Brazil this month.

JesusLuke says:June 06, 2014 10:47 ampls the elephant is not God and in the world cup its only God that can tell......................
Genuwine says:June 06, 2014 11:10 pmHahaha what a funny mind games be this , why they did not let the elephant shot into the German post, well if you check every shot the elephant had it was once but the elephant shoot twice meaning they can not score us , this is pure white witches and their evil spirit , if this Africa they will say we practice voodoo but now look at where the your do called western world is doing , but Ghana will score Germany their best will be draw .
Vinny says:June 06, 2014 11:31 amWe are not settling for this brain wash, that is a big joke. Can somebody tell me which position this elephant plays in the Germans team lol. A way of lifting the pressure of their knecks. Ghana is going all the way to win the trophy.
Hung Pham says:June 17, 2014 08:58 pmAfter read all comments above, I just love Nelly the elephant so much. I don't know that she realize that she's living in Germany or not, if she does, she doesn't care that the crazy soccer German fans may fry her after the 2 big upset loses like that. Stupid ? Gutsy ? or Who's care ? Luckily that those who criticized and condemned Nelly do not work as her care takers, otherwise she may not have anything to eat after her predictions came true ! Thank God !
Hung Pham says:June 17, 2014 07:04 pmWith the track record 30/33 correction like that, No expert ever been better ! Even though nothing and no one is perfect, 90% correction is NOT just guessing. ALL , not most of so called expert's records never even come close to that ! For soccer results. I rather listen to the no talk, not so smart Nelly elephant than so smart, talkative experts. If it is just straight win, lose and draw, I'll bet my $ on Nelly elephant prediction 100% of the time. There are tons of things that existed in universe that we don't know and don't believe . Few people have that psychic gift, so do some animals !
Jo says:June 06, 2014 09:41 amAhahahahaha gaga. The elephant is trying to tell us that they will force a win on us. Sounds like cheating for the Germans to win, because the ball failed to enter and was forced in. We live to see.
michael says:June 06, 2014 09:59 amghana,s ball struck the goal post first that simply means it will eighter be draw or a win for ghana against germany. ghana will beat all the teams in the group. and we will meet brazil in the final and repeat the 2009 u-20 dose for them once again mar it on the wall of your house i promise
michael says:June 06, 2014 10:02 amyou are right on the spot
movich says:June 10, 2014 04:14 pmherr massa, u dey form wai. i almost just choked on water wey i dey drink. u fool ruff!
texas says:June 06, 2014 11:55 amFoxsoccer reported yesterday that the elephant predicted that both Ghana and the USA will defeat Germany. So GSN come again.
PITO says:June 06, 2014 12:30 pmThese are all mind games. OUR PLAYERS minds must be safe guarded and psyched up to beat germany. I hope we have a good Psychologist on the team?
Benito says:June 06, 2014 12:54 pmStupid elephant!!!!
Richie says:June 06, 2014 01:05 pm"Do you think the elephants Nelly will get her prediction right? Make your views known in box below" WE THINK ONY3 GBEMI!!
Chu says:June 06, 2014 04:00 pmI condem the use of such mediums used to predict match outcome. Imagine if octopus Paul were fromAfrica? it would had been totally condemned. But this faggots are hiding behind nature and invokiong demonic consultation. Paul was used for kebab. This elephant shall make good the upcoming Ghana beat Germany 2nd match. Octopus Paul had one match wrong meaning, it is not 100% accurate. Why fear this senseless beast trained to kick into the net which is not black yellow red. What if two German flags were placed on both posts?
Chu says:June 06, 2014 03:48 pmhahahahahahahahahaha
Pinkus says:June 06, 2014 03:49 pmThe psychological tricks have started. First it was the octopus, now it is an elephant. Let no positive minded person fall for such dirty tricks. Our psychologist must try to work on this, so that no one goes into the pitch thinking that Germany has won the game already. If this is spiritual, or spell, then I must say that we have more than enough people who can neutralize this bogus elephant. My appeal to the stars is to forget the mind playing game and focus on the tournament. Elephants do not win matches.
Chu says:June 06, 2014 03:52 pmhahahahahahahahahaha. Richie tha was too much. Nelly ony3 gb3mi

Benito says:June 06, 2014 12:47 pmBullshit,when's in Africa it's "juju" elsewhere it is psychic and so it's good,what difference does it make? Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

InterVarsity Alumni - Helen Lee
May 5, 2011
Mom, Mother, Mama, Mum, Mommy. No matter how you say it, Helen Lee values motherhood.
As an InterVarsity alumna and author of The Missional Mom (Moody Publishers 2011), Helen has a passion for parenting that she wants to pass along to new moms and women looking to develop their lives as mothers.
It was at Williams College in Massachusetts with InterVarsity's Williams Christian Fellowship (WCF) that Helen began to grow in faith. "The Lord challenged me the summer between my sophomore and junior years," said Helen, "to reconsider my lifestyle and my Christian commitment. I went to InterVarsity and never left again!"
Helen's involvement with InterVarsity was life changing.
"God used my experience with WCF to save me in more ways than one. I will forever be grateful for InterVarsity's influence. I would not be the same person without InterVarsity's presence in my life. I will preach the virtues of inductive Bible study to my grave!"
Jack of all Trades
For two years following her 1990 graduation with a bioethics degree, Helen volunteered and was on staff with InterVarsity at her alma mater, finding opportunities to disciple people, lead, build relationships, and be mentored. In the following decade Helen returned to academia, earning a graduate degree in communications and theology, and an MBA. She also met and married Brian, was a Christian journalist, started a business, and worked in Christian publishing. Helen called herself a jack-of-all trades.
"And then the kids started coming!" she smiled. "God pretty clearly indicated that the time had come for us." Today she and Brian have three sons, ages eight and under.
Transition to Motherhood
Helen confessed that she didn't feel ready to enter into parenthood; transitioning to motherhood presented a number of challenges. She wrestled with questions like, "What am I supposed to do with my experiences and education that God had given me before I was a mom?"
She chose to approach motherhood with a both/and, rather than an all-or-nothing philosophy. "Throughout my years as a mother, I have continued my journey on a concurrent vocational path. Doing so has been critical for me to maintain my sense of identity and balance."
With the birth of her first son, Helen cofounded the Best Christian Workplaces Institute; and through the years, she has continued her writing career.
Writing led her to some clarity about motherhood and to her recently-released book. "A few years ago, Leadership Journal asked me to do an article about trends in the missional church ("Missional Shift or Drift", November 2008)," Helen recounted. "Researching the topic was my introduction into the missional church movement. The more I read and understood, the more I found myself resonating with all I was reading."
The Missing Link
"The idea of being missional became the missing link (in understanding motherhood) for me," she said. "It means having an outward orientation to your life and reflecting a desire to be used by God for his purposes, to further his ongoing mission in the world."
As The Missional Mom was being "birthed," Helen believed the book's theme would resonate with many women. It is filled with stories about missional moms. "And," she added, "a number of InterVarsity alum moms make an appearance in the book!"
"Our homes are not just havens for our own comfort, but the places in which we are training the next generation of Christians to be mission-minded. Our calling as mothers is critical yet never to be placed above God's primary mission to be God's ambassadors in the world around us. However motherhood looks—whether you are in the workplace, in ministry, a stay at home mom, or some combination of these, you have a God-given mission."
This InterVarsity alumna believes that there are missional opportunities all around—in children's schools, our neighborhoods, the grocery store, the workplace, and through our church ministries. "And of course, with our own children."
Messaging Moms
May is the month for Mother's Day. If Helen Lee were penning a note in the new mom's card, what would she say?
"Remember, your primary calling and mission does not change when you become a mother. You are still called first to a relationship with God and charged with pursuing the mission he has given to all his followers. Being a mom does not mean that you have to bury all your pieces of identity that defined you before becoming a mom.

Please read above post: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11079#p167491 (especially the bolded bits).
That sutta passage is talking about mistaken ideas of possession due to the conceits of superimposing a subjective perspective. It is not saying that the appropriate recognition of the absence of self is a self-view.

Warming globally? Part Deux
Original post made by Rick Pshaw, Danville, on Jan 11, 2010
Case in point, Florida manatees are in trouble. It seems that exposure to water temperatures below 68 degrees for long periods can cause a condition called manatee cold-stress syndrome, which can result in death. This bitter cold winter is affecting the manatee population, but where is the outrage?
I guess if you're an attractive and photogenic polar bear then you get all the attention from the "Warmers." However, if you're a manatee (not the world's best-looking mammal) then you can go freeze to death for all they care. School children will not be asked to write letters pleading with algore to save you because it doesn't fit in the "Warmers" agenda.

The answer, of course, is that the manatees' current problems stem from the very temporary phenomenon of "weather" and the polar bears' threatened extinction comes as a result of longer term "climate" change. For still other man-made and more natural reasons, manatees as a species are in trouble. Web Link
Now, if Hal is right in his four propositions, the cold snap back east may well derive from seasonal over-warming in the southern hemisphere. So, you see -- it's all connected.
And, just to debunk your other concern about kids not caring for manatees, I give you zach's contribution to Ms. Thomas's second-grade poetry exercise: Web Link
Manatees Are Cool
by Zach
Manatees are cool.
They can't be beat.
If I were a manatee
That would be neat.
Manatees are endangered.
That is not fun.
So if you don't help them,
They will be done.
a resident of Danville
on Jan 11, 2010 at 9:25 am
So the reason manatees are in trouble because of the cold is due to warming somewhere else?
We're getting a little tired of the warmer's nefarious position that no matter what the weather is, it's due to global warming.
Freezing in Maine: global warming
Snow in Florida: global warming
Record snowfalls in the plains: global warming
Coldest December in years: global warming Web Link
Not true folks, it's called weather.

Dear Dolores,
Going back many years to Napa Senior High School, there was a question often asked among classmates that sticks around today, "WE? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?" The definition of WE, like other pronouns, often qualifies the authority of an individual. It is quite easy politically to use WE to make one's opinions more important because of an unknown group of supporters. Ah, but when the supporters are identified and the research resources are presented, then readers can qualify the value of the commentator's position.
If scientists were the WE in support of evidence of global warming's impact on hot and cold weather around the world, there would 917 experts with exceptional studies for public review and thousands of scientists and technologists that are designing resolution of such temperature-caused weather changes in documents for study and implementation by world governments.
WE needs to be defined in references for readers' study.

With all do respect, if anyone is using this forum as a method of study, then that would be very very discouraging. People should go out and find information for themselves and then add valuable insight to the dialogue on this forum

In addition to native regional traditions like Viennese cuisine, Austrian food has been influenced by Hungarian, Czech, Jewish, Italian and Bavarian cuisines. Austria has one of the most transcultural cuisines in Europe.
There is no question that some of the "basics" of Viennese cuisine are famous throughout the world. For example Wiener Schnitzel (Viennese veal) and Apfelstrudel (apple strudel) or Sachertorte. But there is much more to discover in a cuisine that incorporates the culinary expertise of so many regions once part of the great Austrian empire. Take for example the many different ways of preparing beef concealed behind such enigmatic names as "tafelspitz," "zwiebelrostbraten" and "beinfleisch." Or goulash, which originated in Hungary but has dozens of variations in Vienna. And desserts that often replace the main course: just ask for "marillenknodel," "kaiserschmarren" or "topfenpalatschinken" and let yourself in for a pleasant surprise.
There are Viennese specialities not just in the dishes, but also the places where you can enjoy them. For good local cooking, try the "beisel", restaurants where the cuisine and atmosphere are typically Viennese. Both simple and more refined beisels can be found throughout the city. The Viennese regard the coffee house as an extension of their living room, and you are invited to do likewise. Here you can relax after sightseeing, write postcards, meet old friends and make new ones, read the newspaper (many foreign papers are available), and enjoy Viennese cuisine—from coffee and cakes to a full meal. Though the fabled coffeehouses of the previous century cater more to tourists than locals in the present day, there are still a few traditional ones among the over 500 cafes in Vienna alone.
To round off a busy day, there are "heurigers." These are quaint wine taverns where the food is simple, but good, and the atmosphere relaxed—often enhanced by musicians playing Viennese melodies.
The Heurigen tradition was given impetus by Emperor Franz Josef II who allowed wineries to sell new wines, without paying a tariff, in 1784. Originally, the Heurigen "season" was only four months long, but its popularity spawned newer commercial establishments that serve wine and food year 'round. Grinzing and Sievering, Nussdorf and Neustift am Walde. Strebersdorf and Stammersdorf, these are the wine villages on the outskirts of the city. You sit together, drink together, laugh, sing as the musicians play traditional Heurigen music.
In other parts of Austria, like Salzburg and Innsbruck, both closer to Germany, beer is often preferred over wine but the food is no less exotic. Fresh game like moufflon, wild boar and pheasant are hunted in the forests and mountains which cover over two-thirds of the country. Salzburg is known for its dessert specialty, Salzburger Nockerln, a meringue that resembles the nearby Alps. And in Linz they compete with Vienna's Sachertorte with their own Linzertorte, which uses almonds and red currant jam for a refreshingly different taste.

it was about time that that team stepped up to some delivery milestones. The net effect was that the Beemer team went off right then to figure out what it WOULD deliver in IR1.
By the end of this session, there were ten sets of plans in the room, all of which (including team Beemer) had the same profile as ours, i.e. heavily loaded in the first few iterations, and more lightly loaded at the back end.
It all looked sensible. We thought we were done, but Bill and Jan though differently.
13:00 - 14:00 The Issues Parking Lot
Bill and Jan turned their attention to the parking lot. Amazingly, as if by magic, many of the issues from the day before were crossed out (just like ours). And yet, some issues remained and some new ones had been added to the list. We spent most of the next hour going though the items one by one. It became clear to me that we weren't going to be able to leave this meeting until every issue on the parking lot was either:
a) Resolved by the team in that very meeting, or
b) Had an "owner" who accepted responsibility to resolve the issue outside of the meeting and beforeit could impact the release schedule.
(I also noted with some satisfaction that a number of the issues on the list had evidently been big problems for some time and that the managers and directors present were assigned to most of these items). Any process that really tackles those issues, I thought, is a good process by me.
The Fist of Five Commitment
Finally, and thankfully, we approached the end of the meeting. Jan told us about the "visual fist of five" commitment metaphor. Simply, each of us was to vote in full view of all the others with confidence factor in a show of fingers ranging from zero (meaning that there was no way we were going to do this plan or anything like it) to five (meaning slam dunk, it shall be so).
I was guessing we'd get five fingers across the board after all that work -- and all the visibility with all those execs in the room, who had magically reappeared just for this part! But, dang the honesty of all those engineers in the room, we didn't. When the hands went up, Jan and Bill averaged them and reported an average result of 3.8. For a moment, I was depressed and thought we'd be doing it all over again, but amazingly enough, Jan said,
"I would have hoped for higher, but this is software, after all, and we've never worked on a mobile platform. That's good enough for now and we'll check again at the first iteration milestone. If necessary, we'll adjust the plans then. But before we go, the Product Managers have asked for 30 minutes."
The Roadmap
At that point the head of product management got up. It was clear that he wasn't thrilled with the first deliverable and what that implied for the release. It seems like those people always want more, more, and more I thought to myself . But then again, I'm not sure I'd want to work anywhere where they didn't! He said that they would be moving forward with the plans we had laid out, and would be committing the first game for customer evaluation at IR1. They would not commit the second game to the customer due to my team's critical bottleneck, but they hoped they would be able to surprise the customers with more, rather

im not sure if it's the "Cooling Fan Assembly with Shroud Located between radiator and engine"
or the "Auxiliary Fan Assembly with Shroud Located in front of radiator"
has anyone else had this problem or know what fan i should replace?
...maybe this was a simple brain fart on your part (or a missunderstanding on mine while reading this), but if you are unplugging the "Cooling fan in between the engine and radiator" and that stops it from draining the battery, then the one listed as such will be the part you need. So pass on/don't get the "Auxiliary Fan Assembly with Shroud Located in front of radiator" and get the other.
Is your question more of "Do the two fans share a common plug and therefore I don't know which one is the culprit because I can only unplug both and not isolate which one is causing this"?....in that case
for help because I don't know

Stetson Allie Joins the Altoona Curve
As expected, Stetson Allie has joined the Altoona Curve, now that he's recovered from him oblique injury. Earlier in the week I reported that Allie had one more rehab game left in extended Spring Training before heading out to Altoona. As it turns out, he didn't actually miss any time with Altoona, since last night's game was postponed. Allie will be the starting first baseman, and is a big breakout candidate this year.
To make room on the roster for Allie, outfielder Junior Sosa was assigned to the Jamestown roster.
Also a couple other roster moves for Altoona. Pitchers Kenn Kasparek and Quinton Miller were placed on the disabled list. Right-handed pitcher Brandon Mann was added to the roster....

Update in the controversy surrounding a new South Carolina abortion bill: The state senate has removed the provision that would force a woman to view her ultrasound before going through with an abortion.
The state's only female senator, Linda Short (D-Chester), says the revised bill will likely pass the Senate. Some members of the House are gearing up for a fight despite being warned by the Attorney General that making a woman look at something she doesn't want to is against the law.

Wow. I've seen YouTube videos that are ridiculous, provocative, nonsensical, funny and utterly meaningless, but Mitt Romney's latest entry definitely earns the least-interesting award.
His snooze-fest video is part of YouTube's "You Choose '08" initiative that lets candidates showcase their campaigns through videos.
Actually, it's nice to get a glimpse of a 2008 presidential candidate speaking candidly, alone, without annoying banners, campaign posters, megaphones or loud crowds, so props to YouTube's News and Politics site.
If YouTube videos are too literal for you, try investigating virtual communities like Second Life, where Barack Obama has set up shop and posted a national webcast of his "living room conversation" with supporters.
The argument here is that campaigning with web tools like MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Second Life open up the door for a new sense of "intimacy" with candidates, but I'm not so sure I'm buying it. Romney's video put me to sleep. Obama's virtual self doesn't even look anything like him. At this point I'm not really feeling more connected to candidates through web campaigns, I'm feeling bored.

Our friends at CREW are back in the news. They've put out a report saying "the Executive Office of the President (EOP) has lost over FIVE MILLION emails generated between March 2003 and October 2005." The White House was apparently given a plan to recover those emails, but has chosen to do nothing. I'm going to go ahead and guess that the plan to uncover those emails will never be undertaken unless done so with the power of a federal subpoena, because those emails were meant to be lost.
But guess what? Turns out, this is all illegal! Dan Froomkin of the Washington Post asked a White House spokesman to read aloud the White House's policy on email retention, and this is what he said:
"Federal law requires the preservation of electronic communications sent or received by White House staff... The official EOP e-mail system is designed to automatically comply with records management requirements."
Federal law? Holy cow! Deleting your emails is a federal offense, and the official email system is designed so emails will never be "accidentally" deleted. These guys are totally on the hook, right? Wait, there's more?
"Personnel working on behalf of the EOP [Executive Office of the President] are expected to only use government-provided e-mail services for all official communication."
So using email addresses belonging to the RNC and laptops and Blackberries on loan from the same is a violation of policy?
Bring in Patrick Fitzgerald now! Everyone is going to prison!

If you are a regular reader of Mother Jones you know that we love activism from the college kids. We've done thirteen annual campus activism roundups, the most recent of which can be found here.
Well, we're in for a doozy. Four Stanford students are beginning a hunger strike tonight in an effort to win a living wage for Stanford's workers.
This is well-tread ground. Living wages for kitchen staff, maintenance workers, groundskeepers, and construction workers is often a contentious issue on college campuses, with students and workers fighting for a livable wage and administrators resisting, then frequently adopting more economically just policies in fits and starts.
That's certainly the case at Stanford. In the winter and spring of 2003, workers and students rallied for a living wage and President John L. Hennessy appeared to cave by agreeing to a living wage with certain restrictions. In time it became clear that those restrictions excluded enough Stanford workers to render the policy meaningless, and in May 2003 students fasted for a week until Hennessy agreed to appoint a commission to examine the issue.
In June 2004, the commission recommended striking down five of Hennessy's seven restrictions and said, "If Stanford University operates a "living wage" policy, it should not attach so many conditions to its applicability that it has the effect of excusing many Contracted workers from that policy. A "living wage" policy that appends a string of conditions creates inequities among similar workers and risks giving the unfortunate impression that Stanford's employment policies do not really mean what they are proclaimed to be." Hennessy agreed to consider and possibly adopt the commission's recommendations.
Almost three years later nothing has happened and student activists say they are back at "square one." Thus, another fast. Their demand: "That the living wage be expanded to apply to all campus workers regardless of the dollar value of employee contract; duration of employment; amount of hours worked per week; union membership status; and worksite location." You can learn more about the group holding the hunger strike, and its demands, at this website.
The students can thank Stanford for wireless internet at least, and while they are occupying a public space on Stanford's campus and refusing to imbibe, they will be filing regular dispatches for Mother Jones. Think of it as activism in action. Check the Mother Jones homepage over the next few days for regular updates.

The lawmakers were having their midday meal in a restaurant in the Green Zone after concluding the day's parliamentary session. Both were Sunni. According to the U.S. military, 8 people died in the attack and 23 were injured.
A separate attack blew up a 70-year-old bridge across the Tigris River as commuters were driving across. At least 10 people died.
Again, I say the surge is not working.

We've covered the perspective of the everyday soldier a fair amount here at Mother Jones. Our 2004 feature "Breaking Ranks" told the story of GIs who refused to fight in Iraq -- and were bravely speaking out when the majority of the country was still in favor of the war. The story came out well before such dissent from soldiers was common, or commonly reported. At that time we also listed the veterans groups that were rallying against the war; the organizations on that list have since grown and gained strength.
And we stayed on the story. We covered military families speaking out against the war, we photographed the rehabilitation of soldiers who came back wounded, and covered the films and books that gave the folks at home the perspective of those in battle.
Anthony Swofford has been a big part of that. The Gulf War veteran and author wrote the text of our photo essay "Coming Home: Seven Families Lay Their Fallen Soldiers to Rest" and we interviewed him when his book Jarhead was made into a feature film.
Swofford's at it again. In "Voices From The Front: Iraq and Afghanistan," Swofford will be moderating a discussion with soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan and the filmmakers, photographers, and journalists who have worked on those wars. The writing and photography of former soldiers is the focus of the evening. (Examples below.)
The event is tonight at 7 pm at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in New York City. You'll find it at 126 Crosby Street, one block east of Broadway between Houston and Prince. Check it out if you can.

To the Editors:
Brian Hayes's May–June 2012 Computing Science column is excellent as always. "Computation and the Human Predicament" is a very good assessment of the controversial but timely issue of limits to growth. In the comparison between the standard run and the doubled-resources run, however, I would like to see a third run. If the uncertainty in the parameter resources allows so big a leap, why not halve it and test how the model behaves? If this run gave more or less the same result as the doubled-resources run, I would doubt the model's efficacy a little more.
Héctor Osvaldo Mato
Boulogne, Argentina
Mr. Hayes responds:
The comparison that Mr. Osvaldo Mato asks about can be made with the Web version of the World3 model available at http://bit-player.org/limits/. One element of the model's control panel allows the initial-resources multiplier to be set to various values between 1/8 and 32. Readers are invited to try the experiment for themselves.
In general, reducing the initial stock of resources hastens the collapse of the modeled society; increasing the initial stock delays the collapse but makes it more severe when it comes.
