Disney Channel is not backlash intolerant. After catching flak over an episode of its sophomore comedy Jessie that made fun of a young character's gluten intolerance in two scenes, the cable outlet has offered a mea culpa — apologizing and pulling the half-hour titled "Quitting Cold Koala." "We are removing this particular episode from our regular programming schedule and will re-evaluate its references to gluten restrictions in the character's diet," Disney Channel said on Facebook. "Please accept our apologies for the upset this episode caused you and your family."
Disney Apologizes For Gluten-Intolerance Jokes On 'Jessie', Yanks Episode
30 Comments
Say, isn't this not the first time this has happened with a character with health problems. Wasn't it the boy-pal (Oliver) on HANNA MONTANA with diabetes?
How about Disney apologizes for the fact that all of their TV Shows portray unrealistic images of kids who dress in expensive clothing, with parents off to lunch and never in the house, and unrealistic plot lines. I would love for Disney for once to have shows with real predicaments where kids don't have money, can't afford to dress like tween pimps and pay the consequences for disrespecting their parents.
That will make the gluten joke seem like nothing.
I'm sure those who watch Disney channel are grateful you have nothing to do with the programming.
Goes to show you what a bunch a loser our society is made up of. Give me a freakin' break!
Seriously, are we so PC now we can't even make an effing joke about gluten intolerance on a Dinsey channel show? This is unbelievable. People need to lighten up, for chrissakes. It's a JOKE. Who cares?!
Jack Tor, I would think the kid who is gluten intolerant or celiac and feels belittled and marginalized would care.
Well (sniff, sniff), I would think: Who Cares? Real life isn't the warm and fuzzy culturally (over)sensitive feelings-oriented bubble far too many financially well-cushioned, morally indignant parents attempt to create for what they consider fragile carbon-based Faberge eggs, but are actually resilient human children – the same as all on this board once were. Eventually, nothing will be permitted should this myopic madness continue.
Geez dude, maybe it's time for a cup of therapy?
If you want to go after adults for whatever, that's in play. But kids can't differentiate between a joke about their condition and a hurtful comment. Worse still, if a kid is suffering this in school and it becomes a point of ridicule, then how's that going to make them feel? Jesse on Disney XD just invalidated a condition they were born with, so this kid must be wrong for getting sick, huh?
Look, I get your general comment toward overprotecting society from hurt feelings. That's why I can call into question your mental stability here without fear of backlash. You're a big boy/girl and can take care of yourself in an internet squabble. But Jesse caters to a subset of our culture which can't understand that or defend themselves from the punchline of a 30 something TV writer. They get the kid gloves until they're 18. After that, they're all yours tough guy/girl!
When will they apologize for "Dog with a Blog"?
I think the kid in it the blonde dyes her hair, it was dark brown when she appeared on another show. What is she 7-8 years old and she bleaches her hair?
This got more backlash than Brave?
For chrissakes its a damn gluten allergy. Its very common. Nobody dies from gluten issues. It just makes you feel awful. Obviously A mother with time on her hands
"chrissakes" is extremely offensive to people of faith. It's the same as saying "Jesus Christ!" as a swear oath. If we're going to be PC, let's go all the way and be careful not to offend anyone. We can't pick and choose, this is not the IRS.
Political correctness run amok. What's next, we can't make fart jokes? Unfair prejudice against the gastrointestinally challenged!
Actually, yes, people with a gluten allergy can die from a reaction that results in anaphylaxis. Gluten intolerance (for example celiac) is very serious and can cause major health problems. The backlash from the food allergy community has more to do with Disney ( usually known for its careful attention to special needs) making light of and modeling behavior that is bullying at best and assault at worst. This is a trend in schools that many are fighting hard to reverse. This isn't about helicopter moms run amok. If you don't have to deal with this in your family, then lucky you… but don't presume to know what the issue is based on a couple paragraphs here.
Can someone please post a list of what we're supposed to be offended by and protest against in the next few weeks? I'm falling behind.
The only joke material left seems to be straight white men and anyone of any faith, unfortunately. I know, pathetic.
I'm the mother of a child with food allergies. Until you have had to teach your 2 year-old that they can never eat chocolate, or cake, or cookies… They can never share snacks with friends because they might eat something they shouldn't… You change diapers where your child screams from the allergy rash… You sit up at night wondering if swelling will go down because they ate some of big brother's treat… you carry an epi-pen everywhere you go because you never know if a fast food restaurant or food sample at the grocery store is safe… Then you have room to talk.
And I'm not some pandering, elitist, upper-class family with a bone to pick and spoiled kids. I'm a lower-class, barely-scraping-by parent with a very real fear for the safety of my child.
And what is your point?
I am sorry your child has such an allergy, but what does that have to do with this post? It is still ridiculous for people to freak over two jokes.
How about just turning the crap off?
Yes, true gluten related problems are v serious; however, much like attn deficit problems, there are many kids and their parents who use this as another way to be special. No one should be bullied but sometimes you become stronger by learning to take a little teasing in stride (and I say this as a parent of a child who deals w teasing issues). Plus, along with many other commenters, I find Disney sitcoms in no way reflect the real world. In my house, we don't watch them.
This is a joke, right? We're all starring in a farce now?
On a tangential note, I can't stand how our society has concluded that, because a tiny percentage of people have celiac disease, gluten is somehow bad for everyone.
You will all be tracked via your IP addresses and taken to FEMA re-education camps where you will be taught sensitivity to gluten-intolerant Americans.
Was it smart for the writers to put a joke like that in the show no it was not but its a Disney show that makes fun of everyone with stupid faces and mugging for the camera. They make fun of everyone with lame jokes.
Overreacting viewers and a knee-jerk reacting Disney. A match made in Heaven.
I'm sick of people getting offended… by people getting offended. Please, get over yourself, it's market forces and free speech. Do people have the right to complain to Disney – yes, it free speech, you know that cherished thing you believe you don't have while moaning on the internet. Should they except Disney removed the episode, no, but luckily for them, Disney choose to remove the episode. Really, people you are annoyed that a children's show (and this is the crux of the message, it's a kids show, not a stand-up act aimed a adults) decided to promote a more caring, tolerant and understanding attitude to kids who have a legitimate health problem. How dare they, it's pc gone mad!. Are you really demanding that a children's show (not aimed at you) normalizes bullying? Just cos you want to moan about some fictional world were you can't insult and make jokes about whatever race, gender, illness or disability you want. Boo hoo.
Yep, they have the right to complain. And I have the right to point out that it's absurd. And you have the right to complain about THAT. And on and on. Glorious, isn't it?
It's about time someone put their foot down on jokes being made about a serious illness that has made life absolute hell for countless affluent white girls since they read about it in a 2009 issue of Us Weekly.
What kind of person has no empathy for people with legitimate health issues? Sure, there may be people out there who are "faking it" for attention or whatever. In reality, there are 3 million diagnosed cases of Celiac's disease (as in a doctor has confirmed, usually with painful tests). There's an additional 3 million+ children with diagnosed food allergies to wheat, soy, milk, eggs, peanuts, shellfish, or other foods. That's different from lactose intolerance or Celiac's Disease. Exposure to those foods can be life threatening. 30,000 Americans require emergency medical treatment for food allergies every year.
The next time you want to make a snide comment about something, take time to become educated on the facts. It's not just people wanting special treatment or attention. It's a real and devastating experience for millions of people who deserve some empathy. I know that's what I want for my kids with true allergies to wheat, soy, milk, and eggs. You try shopping for that without killing your kids.
I'm still waiting for an apology from Disney for killing Bambi's mother. As a child, it traumatized me. What are the statue of limitations on suing for emotional distress?

Frustrated at his continuing power struggle with Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas resigned last night.
A Palestinian official said Mr Arafat had accepted the resignation and asked Mr Abbas to run a caretaker administration until a new cabinet was formed, but there was no official confirmation of this.
The departure of Mr Abbas threatens to destroy the US-backed "road map" for peace with Israel, which envisages a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip by 2005 alongside a secure Israel.
The plan had already been damaged by the collapse of a truce declared by Palestinian militants and a relentless Israeli campaign to kill or capture the groups's leaders.
Mr Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, was appointed by Mr Arafat four months ago under international pressure for an end to the most recent outbreak of bloodshed in the Holy Land. But as Washington tried to sideline Mr Arafat - the iconic former guerilla leader who has led the Palestinians since the 1960s - Mr Arafat tried to set a limit to Mr Abbas's powers.
The European Union said it was extremely concerned by the Prime Minister's resignation. At a meeting of foreign ministers, Italy's Franco Frattini said the EU was "deeply worried by the serious risk of dangerous instability at the head of the Palestinian executive".
On Thursday, Mr Abbas told members of parliament to back him in his bid to obtain more authority from Mr Arafat to carry out democratic reforms and subdue militant factions, or give him the sack.
Both steps, along with Israeli withdrawals from occupied territory, are mandated by the "road map".
A senior Palestinian official said: "Abbas's problems (in part stem from) the continuation of Israeli incursions and assassinations. And the American administration has done little to make Israel comply with the road map."
On Friday, US Secretary of State Colin Powell promised that the United States would work harder to achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians and backed Mr Abbas against Mr Arafat. "We need to redouble our efforts. We need to keep the pressure on both sides to do everything they can to get to that point where Israelis and Palestinians can live side-by-side in peace," Mr Powell said in a speech at George Washington University.
"Unfortunately Chairman Yasser Arafat has not been playing a helpful role. He has not been an interlocutor for peace over the years. His actions do not move the parties farther down the road to peace," Mr Powell said.
The Palestinian official said an intimidating demonstration against Mr Abbas outside parliament on Thursday by members of a militant faction loyal to Mr Arafat had been another factor in the Prime Minister's decision to step aside.
Mr Abbas, 68, a reticent former peace negotiator lacking wide popularity, has been vying with Mr Arafat, 74, for more power to save the peace plan.
Much of the dispute has focused on control of Palestinian security forces needed to break up militant groups, one of which is aligned with Mr Arafat's Fatah movement.
Israel has been demanding that Mr Abbas disarm these groups and says the ceasefire, which they declared on June 29, disintegrated because of a suicide bombing by the Hamas group on August 19 that killed 22 people.
Palestinian officials and militants blame the lurch back into violence on Israeli army raids on wanted militants. These continued despite the militants' ceasefire and resulted in dozens being killed or captured, including a leading Hamas figure, Ismail Abu Shanab.
On Friday, Israeli commandos killed a Hamas militant commander and left 28 families homeless after blowing up the apartment block where he lived. Analysts described that attack as another blow to Mr Abbas's struggle for political survival and credibility.
Palestinian officials have accused Israel's right-wing ruling coalition, which accepted the "road map" only under US pressure, of sabotaging the peace plan with the raids and its reluctance to lift the blockades that cripple daily life in the West Bank.
Israel has killed 11 Hamas members and four civilian bystanders in helicopter missile strikes in Gaza since August 21.
Palestinian officials say Mr Arafat's prime motive is to stay in power and show the world he is not irrelevant despite American and Israeli attempts to sideline him over accusations, which he denies, that he encourages violence.

- Fully Represented SOUNZ Composer
- http://www.gillianwhitehead.co.nz/
Dame Gillian Whitehead was born in Hamilton, New Zealand in 1941. She studied at the University of Auckland from 1959-62, and Victoria University of Wellington in 1963, graduating BMus Hons in 1964. She then studied composition at the University of Sydney with Peter Sculthorpe from 1964-65, graduating MMus in 1966. That same year she attended a composition course given by Peter Maxwell Davies in Adelaide and in 1967 travelled to England to continue studying with him. She worked in London composing and copying music for two years and then with the assistance of a New Zealand Arts Council grant worked in Portugal and Italy from 1969-70.
For the next seven years she continued freelance composing, principally based in the UK. From 1978-80 she was Composer in Residence for Northern Arts attached to Newcastle University (UK). In 1981 she returned to Australasia to join the staff of the Composition School at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and was for four years Head of Composition there before taking early retirement in 1996. She now divides her time as a free-lance composer between Sydney and Dunedin, New Zealand.
In 1999 her opera, Outrageous Fortune, won the SOUNZ Contemporary Award and she was honoured with membership of the NZ Order of Merit.
In 2000 she became one of the inaugural Artist Laureates of the NZ Arts Foundation and is now a governor of the organisation. During 2000 and 2001 she was Composer in Residence at the Auckland Philharmonia and her orchestral work, the improbable ordered dance written during the Residency won the 2001 SOUNZ Contemporary Award. In 2003 she again won the Award for Alice, a major work for mezzo-soprano and orchestra which was also written for the Auckland Philharmonia. From 1998-2003 Gillian was President of the Composers' Association of New Zealand.
Gillian Whitehead has written a wide range of music including works for solo, chamber, choral, orchestral and operatic forces, most of them direct commissions from performers and funding organisations. A number of her works have been recorded for commercial release, including a CD of her chamber works by Waiteata Press and a recording of her opera, Outrageous Fortune. Her scores are available from the Australian and New Zealand Music Centres or from her agents who can be contacted through the Music Centres. In 2003 she was given a Dmus (honoris causa) by Victoria University of Wellington, and in 2007 the KBB Citation for outstanding services to New Zealand Music presented by CANZ.
In 2008 she became a Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, one of New Zealand's highest honours, and she was granted the title 'Dame' in 2009.
In March 2009 Gillian was invited to be an artist-in-residence for 12 months at the Henderson House – a Plischke designed house in Alexandra, Central Otago.

Governor Brown Proposes 2012-'13 Budget
Gov. Jerry Brown today proposed a state budget for 2012-'13 that includes steep spending cuts, seeks to increase local flexibility and decision making and calls for investments in water supply reliability, high-speed rail and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Released at a hastily called news conference after the proposal was inadvertently posted on the Department of Finance website, the budget aims to close a projected $9.2 billion shortfall in 2012-'13 through $10.3 billion in proposed cuts and the establishment of a $1.1 billion reserve.
The budget and related documents can be found here.
The governor called it an "honest budget" that attempts to address the state's "wall of debt" while also accelerating economic recovery. He noted, however, that revenue projections remain uncertain and said he will ask voters to approve a ballot measure this fall with temporary tax increases and other provisions.
The budget calls for "bold investments" in the state's future, he said, including habitat and conveyance improvements in the Delta through the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan. It proposes $25 million and 135 positions within the Department of Water Resources to complete preliminary engineering work for the plan.
"Once completed, the plan will provide the basis for issuing permits for the operation of state and federal water projects," the budget's introduction says. "Future funding requests to address the state's water needs will be necessary."
Other budget highlights of interest to ACWA members:
· Changes proposed to regional water boards. The governor proposed to consolidating and eliminating several governmental agencies including realigning the regional water board boundaries to instead create eight regional water boards by merging two of the smaller regional water boards (the Colorado River Basin Water Board) into neighboring areas with boundaries that would continue to follow watersheds. The move is aimed at bringing consistency to the region sizes and reducing the total number of board members from nine to seven.
· Proposed elimination of the Colorado River Board. The proposed budget transfers the responsibilities of the Colorado River Board to the Natural Resources Agency, noting that all statewide water supply issues could thus be addressed in a "comprehensive and coordinated manner."
· Proposed elimination of councils / committees within the Department of Fish and Game. Entities including the Salton Sea Restoration Council and the California Advisory Committee on Salmon and Steelhead Trout are proposed for elimination.
· Proposed elimination of the Watershed Coordinator Initiative Program. The State Board would maintain the Watershed Management Initiative Plans within each region that were finished in 2007. Plan concepts have been "incorporated into various Water Board programs"

Ingleside Cemetery
Also known as: Hastings Regional Center Cemetery
Adams County
Nebraska USA
Ingleside Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
This was used as a burial place for patients at the Hastings Regional Center between 1889 and 1959. The hospital opened in 1889 as the "Hospital for the Incurably Insane." The name changed to "Asylum for the Chronic Insane" in 1895. In 1905 the name was changed again to "Nebraska State Hospital" and in 1915 to "Ingleside Hospital for the Insane", later to "Hastings State Hospital" and in 1971 to its current name, "Hastings Regional Center."
In 2009, the Center released handwritten records for the cemetery, listing the name, date of death, and medical record number of those buried there. Both the Nebraska and the Adams County Historical Societies have posted this list on their websites. A few names have information regarding race, cause of death, aka name, or removal to another cemetery. It is noted that the writing was very difficult to read and may not have been transcribed correctly. These are the only records that have ever been made public by the Center about their patients. All other records require a court order to obtain.
In 2012, a memorial garden was built in the cemetery, honoring the people who are buried there. In addition to a memorial stone in the center of the garden, it includes a bench and plantings of flowers and bushes, surrounded by a fence. Not all of the graves in the cemetery have markers, and those that do are only marked with the individual's medical record number.

A strong finish by Awapuni galloper Cassini brought back-to-back wins in an exciting Cambridge Thoroughbred Lodge Wanganui Cup on Saturday.
The 2040m feature on the 10-race programme at the Wanganui Race Course saw the 7-year-old Reset mare get up on the outside in the final stages.
It was smart victory, leading home Matamata-trained Better Together and Ascolini, who had spread out the field by setting a strong pace from around the 700m mark.
Favourite Thorn Prince finished sixth.
The listed race featured a strong line-up of familiar names, including the two previous cup winners, a Hospice Cup victor and stayers who are eyeing the Waikato Cup.
Hastings-trained San Pedro began well to lead as the field swept past the grandstand for the first time, before Ascolini took off to set a hectic tempo.
The field spreading around the back of the course actually did Cassini a favour, freeing up space for the defending champion to do her thing.
Her Awapuni trainer Mark Oulaghan felt the firm ground was going to suit his champion and there was little concern as Ascolini set a challenging lead.
"Things can change, these lightweights can be a danger when they put the break on.
"She got home pretty well."
He could not fault the temperament of Wanganui jockey Johnathon Parkes, who had stepped in to take the reins.
"He rode it perfect at his first ride on the horse."
Parkes was delighted to have met the pressure of riding a favourite and the defending champion to another success.
"The horse looked in very good order," he told the crowd.
"It's good to win the Wanganui Cup, I'm a local boy so it's a big thrill."
Later, Parkes said the spreading field "plucked" Cassini off the fence and a little daylight was all they needed.
"I got a nice trip, I just wanted to get off the fence on the straight."
Last year Wanganui's Lisa Allpress took Cassini to the post, but with Saturday being the start of a six-day suspension her participation at the course was limited to spectator and tipster.
Parkes has a busy upcoming Christmas racing schedule which will see him ride in New Plymouth on Thursday and Wellington on Saturday.
For Cassini, who is in foal, Oulaghan is eyeing another 2011 repeat at the upcoming Manawatu Cup, then possibly the Triple Stakes in January.
At 7 years old, that will probably be the end to her track career, he said.
Also smiling at the finish was Wanganui Jockey Club operations manager Bret Field after another successful Christmas event.
The club had sold 750 packages, "that was better than expected" and had all been snapped up two months in advance.
On-course turnover was $148,000 it had been $150,000 in 2011 with an 11-race programme.

David Cameron, leader of the British Conservative party and prime minister of the nation, urged the Israel government to stand down from its threats to bomb Iran. "I refuse to give in to those who say that the current policy is fatally flawed, and that we have no choice but military action." He pointed out the obvious, how current sanctions are crippling the economy of Iran. As a result of these sanctions, "Iranian oil exports have fallen by 45 percent. The Rial has plummeted and inflation is soaring." There is turmoil in the land of Iran as people seek to carry on their ordinary lives while the economy collapses.
There is no guarantee imposing sanctions will lead to an end of nuclear research and production. In the real world of international politics nothing may come out as designed. But, it is worth the effort, it is worth waiting. As Americans can recall, we once had a president who insisted Iraq had to be invaded NOW. Instead of allowing the UN to continue its search for Weapons of Mass Destruction, Bush invaded and 5,000 Americans died while 40,000 were wounded.
Haste CAN lead to waste– of lives, that is!

The exhibit "Egyptomania," currently at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, focuses not on the ancient Egyptian artifacts that have long fascinated us, but instead on the way those artifacts influenced Western culture, especially design, architecture and literature. The perfect companion to "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs," an exhibit of treasures from the king's tomb, also on display at the MFAH, "Egyptomania" includes art-deco perfume bottles with pharaoh-head stoppers and Georgian lawn ornaments in the shape of sphinxes.
There are also well-known photographs from the late 19th century that helped to further fuel Western fascination. Among them is the iconic 1870 image The Sphinx and the Pyramids by Adolphe Braun, which shows a lonely sphinx flanked by two pyramids. Also high on the list of must-see items is the collection of scarab-themed jewelry (including some made from actual dung beetles) and a 1912 iridescent gold vase by Tiffany Studios, which was clearly inspired by Egyptian artifacts discovered at the end of the 19th century. There's also the 1875 case clock by Pottier and Stymus. An example of the Egyptian Revival style, the cherrywood clock stands eight feet tall and is decorated with sun gods, sarcophagi and other nods to the land of the pharaohs.
There are some 40 objects in the exhibit, all drawn from the MFAH's various collections. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays to Saturdays, 12:15 to 7 p.m. Sundays. Through July 29. 1001 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-639-7300 or visit www.mfah.org. Free to $10.
Sundays, 12:15-7 p.m.; Tuesdays, Wednesdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Thursdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Starts: March 18. Continues through July 28, 2012

New Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen maintains he was genuinely surprised about the move to sack Martin Jol.
The former Manchester United assistant coach replaced fellow Dutchman Jol after only joining the club last month.
There has been speculation that he was appointed as head coach in November with a view to succeeding Jol, but Meulensteen refuted such a claim. He told Sky Sports News: "I totally disagree with that because it has been a quite long process of me bringing myself into Fulham and I spoke numerous times with people at Fulham.
"It was definitely not something that I was anticipating. We wanted to turn this corner together."
The ex-Anzhi Makhachkala manager is due to meet Fulham chief executive Alistair Mackintosh on Sunday evening and is confident he is the man to save the West London club from relegation.
He said: "I will meet up with Alistair later to discuss the new situation and how we are going to progress from here.
"We know that Martin has been released which is a shame because I didn't see that coming from within the club and it was something I didn't want to happen to be fairly honest.
"We want some clarity with regards to how we are going to progress on a daily basis from now.
"We know what position we are in. It's a position that Fulham don't want to be in, the staff don't want to be in and the players don't want to be in.
"But this is where we are at and if I am given a responsibility of making sure that I carry out the manager's job for the foreseeable future then we have to do our utmost to get Fulham back up the table.

We decided to check out this comedy/burlesque show on a Sunday night. There were several people in the audience, but it was a very strange set up with VIPs in front of the stage...

The Best of Vegas on a Budget!
Seating was the most segregated I've ever seen with VIP's in these round tables at the front of the theatre and everyone else to the side in the "red" seats. Comedy is horrible and audience was berated if they were not laughing at the old comic. Burlesque show was pathetic and unprofessional. A bunch of tatoo strippers up there with...
If comedy is supposed to be funny, then they completely missed the mark. This was a complete waste of time and money. With a whopping 15 people or so in attendance is was easy to see that both advertising and word of mouth were lacking. Just say NO.
I give it one star only because the female comic, Lisa L saved the evening. The venue is awful. Most seats on the side with limited view of stage. Total disorganization at the hotel when we arrived to pick up our tickets. We were sent on a wild goose chase for half an hour and barely made it to show....
We decided to check out this comedy/burlesque show on a Sunday night. There were several people in the audience, but it was a very strange set up with VIPs in front of the stage and the rest of the audience sitting off to the side. The comedians were ok, although sometimes they were berating the audience for not laughing. The...
The night that I went was for me a very good one as the comedians they had performing were very entertaining. The MC was funny, the lovely lady doing burlesque between comedians was entertaining, overall a very good show.
We enjoyed the show when it was in the Sin City Theater but it was moved to the Crazy Girls Cabaret. They no longer offer those delicious frozen drinks and the layout is inefficient. We could not see 1/3 of the stage and missed most of the Burlesque Dancer's performance. The host and headliner comedians were excellent but the 2...
This wasn't the best comedy show I have seen! The venue is very small which is fine but there was only about 11 of us in the audience so there wasn't much atmosphere. The comedians weren't too bad to be honest it's the burlesque element that lets it down. She wasn't the best dancer and it just seemed a bit...
We saw this show last year and it was absolutely hilarious. The burlesque dancer comes out for two dances in between the comedians. We were really excited to see this show again but his time it was rather disappointing. I couldn't tell wether the audience was off or the comedians were bad. Nobody seemed to be into the acts. The...
This is one of the worst shows we have ever seen in Las Vegas. out of the 4 comedians only the last one (the headliner) was any good and he wasn't THAT good.
They do change the comedians in this show so this only refers to show we saw in Aug. 2016. Last comedian was funny, rest were so-so. Not much connection with audience and not many laughs for first couple of comedians. They could get more relevant, funnier material perhaps. Small intimate venue, does have a drink minimum.

Former England manager Graham Taylor has urged Chelsea captain John Terry to accept a four-match ban for racial abuse and bring an end to a controversy that has bedevilled English soccer for nearly a year.
Terry was handed a ban by the Football Association (FA) yesterday after being found guilty of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand.
The FA said an independent regulatory commission had issued a suspension for a period of four matches and a fine of €276,000 ($427,000) pending appeal.
Terry has 14 days to lodge an appeal against a decision relating to an incident that took place during Chelsea's match away to QPR at Loftus Road on October 23 last year.
The ban - which comes after the 31-year-old former England captain was acquitted of criminal charges relating to the same incident in July - will not come into force until the appeals procedure is complete.
That means central defender Terry, who played in the 6-0 English League Cup rout of Wolves on Wednesday, is available for Chelsea's Premier League match away to London rivals Arsenal.
Taylor cautioned against an appeal, telling Sky Sports: "Having sat on these panels and made judgments myself I know those people will have come to their conclusion in an honest and proper manner - they will have had legal advice.
"Whether John and Chelsea accept it is up to them, but I think it might be in everyone's interest to put it to bed."
Meanwhile, Herman Ouseley, chairman of the Kick It Out organisation that aims to eradicate racism from football, said: "This is not about recriminations. It's about how football moves forward from here after it has spent 11 months going through the wringer."
Earlier, Terry's representatives said he was "disappointed" by the decision and would consider his position before deciding whether to appeal. They said: "Mr Terry is disappointed that the FA Regulatory Commission has reached a different conclusion to the clear not guilty verdict of a court of law.
"He has asked for the detailed written reasons of the decision and will consider them carefully before deciding whether to lodge an appeal."
European champions Chelsea responded to yesterday's verdict by saying: "Chelsea Football Club notes and respects today's decision by the Football Association regarding John Terry.
"We also recognise that John has the right to appeal that decision. It is therefore inappropriate for us to comment further on the matter at this time."
The FA said it had charged Terry on July 27 with using "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand and which included a reference to colour and/or race contrary to FA Rule E3 (2)".
Terry dramatically announced his retirement from international football on Sunday, the day before the four-day hearing started, saying the FA had made his position with England "untenable" by pursuing the disciplinary case against him despite his courtroom acquittal.
England manager Roy Hodgson, who included Terry in his squad for Euro 2012, had been keen for the 78-times capped defender to continue his international career as the team try to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.

Turn it around
If today started off negatively, it doesn't have to end that way. At any point in time you can turn it around. The same energy that was bringing you down can be used to lift you up. All you need to do is turn it around.
The point where you are right now is the point that separates the past from the future. And you are in complete control of that critical junction. If the past hasn't been going well, then move yourself in a different direction. Right here, right now you have that power.
No matter how fast you're going in the wrong direction or how far you've traveled, at any point in time you can make a u-turn. Why would you want to use up your time and energy on a journey toward despair? Turn it around right now.
If your efforts have never amounted to much up until now, this is the moment at which you can begin to make them count for something. If you've been frivolous and unfocused, now is the moment to sharpen your focus and to and to align your actions in the direction of your highest aspirations.
Moving ahead is infinitely better than falling behind. There's nothing that can prevent you from pointing your life in a positive direction right this very moment. Do it now, and for every moment to come.

Video: More measures to regulate property market
BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government has raised the down payment for second-home buyers to a minimum 50 percent of the value from 40 percent, in a bid to curb property speculation.
The decision was announced in a statement released Thursday after conclusion of an executive meeting of the State Council, the Cabinet, presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao, on Wednesday.
First-home buyers must pay no less than 30 percent of the the property price if the area is above 90 square meters, the statement said.
The government was stepping up the introduction of tax policies to influence purchases and adjust property investment returns, said the statement.
Nationwide, land use for the construction of low-income housing, shanty town renovation and small and medium-sized homes (below 90 square meters) should account for at least 70 percent of the land approved for property development, the statement said.
It also urged local authorities to accelerate housing construction approvals to ensure effective land supply, and crack down on land hoarding and speculatory behavior.
China to increase land supply for housing to guide property market
BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government said Thursday it plans to increase the land supply available for residential property, in a bid to guide the country's runaway property market into more healthy development.
China will supply 180,000 hectares of land nationwide to build houses this year, excluding the Tibet Autonomous Region, compared with an area of 76,461 hectares in 2009, the Ministry of Land and Resources said. Full story

Home prices in China's 70 large and medium-sized cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou increased 11.7 percent in March from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said in a statement on its website. Full story
China's economic recovery momentum strong, difficulties remain: Cabinet
BEIJING, April 14 (Xinhua) -- China's economic development environment remains "very complex" with difficulties and problems persisting in the process of its economic recovery, said the State Council Wednesday.
The national economy was heading toward the goal of macroeconomic regulation, with a strong foundation for economic recovery, said a statement released after a Wednesday executive meeting of the State Council, the Cabinet, chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao. Full story
China's GDP grows 11.9% in Q1, fueling overheating fears
BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- China's economy expanded 11.9 percent year on year in the first quarter, indicating a solid recovery of the world's third largest economy, but also fanning concerns of asset bubbles.

text: After reading through some of the older posts in this thread I think that I should say hello straight ahead, and not wait a year or two... I'm a engineer student at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, but currently I live in a small town called Arboga, due to the fact that I will begin writing my master thesis nearby in September. About ten years ago, I got my hands on a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, and found image manipulation very fascinating. I have continued with this hobby, and after a couple of years I started using the Photoshop, instead of Elements. Over the years I have "improved" photos taken with point-and-shoot cameras. The image quality, both technical and artistic, hasn't been the best. A year and a half ago, I bought my first DSLR, and to this day, I have taken about 20 000 photos, of which a hundred or so has been "good". Digital photos two main advantages; I can take as many photos as I want, without spending money, and I can always correct them later in Photoshop. Then, three month ago, I inherited an old Pentax Super-A. I bought a roll of Kodak Elite Chrome, and went outside, testing the camera. It took some time exposing those 36 frames, since the film did cost about $14, I didn't want to waste a single frame. I then sent the film away for development, another $10. Two weeks later, the developed film was returned, and it was judgement day. Out of 36 frames, I was pleased with 15. 10 frames where wasted on trying to figure out how the camera actually works, and the rest was just bad photography. But the number, 15 frames out of 36 possible, is in my mind a good ratio, compared to 300 digital ones, with 8-10 good ones. Putting aside the fact that I should not try to work as a professional photographer, I must say that the quality of film is amazing. The colors, the dynamic range, and the fact that I were shooting hand held in the dusk, where my Canon EOS 450D would have sucked... After some research I found that I can buy a negative color film, as the Fujicolor Superia for less than $5 per roll, and develop for about 10-15 USD. Shooting a lot of positive color film, for $14 per roll, is currently not possible, since I live on a study loan. Being almost an engineer, I figured that I can buy some cheap film, and try to develop it myself. Currently, I'm waiting for a C41 startup-kit to arrive from Germany... I hope to learn a lot from you guys here at apug! Marcus

Hastings' Blossom Festival was first held in 1950.
It was the creation of Greater Hastings, an organisation established initially to provide an Easter attraction (The Highland Games, first held in 1951).
Retailer Harry Poppelwell aptly stated something should be done about the "glorious inactivity" in Hastings. Many, such as Poppelwell, felt Hastings was lacking in post-war community spirit. Poppelwell met with his friend and Hastings Daily Telegraph reporter Ed Culver to plan the formation of an organisation to promote activities in Hastings, which became Greater Hastings.
Hastings Mayor and accountant R D Brown gave his blessing to "bring about a better and brighter Hastings". Greater Hastings' greatest creation would be the Hastings Blossom Festival.
A Blossom Queen contest was added in 1957 to the Blossom Festival. The rules of the contest stated that contestants presenting themselves had to be aged between 18 and 28, unmarried and, among other things, possess "poise, personality, charm, beauty of face and figure, education, voice quality, speaking ability and be in good health."
No swimsuit parade would occur and, as the promotional material stated: "This is not a bathing beauty contest - but a Blossom Festival quest."
At the height of the Blossom festivals in the 1950s, about 60,000 people crammed the streets of Hastings to view the decorated paper crépe floats.
The festival recovered from the infamous, so-called "Blossom Festival riot" in September 1960 and lasted until 1972, when many people had grown tired of the effort required to decorate floats - a process which took place months before the annual September event.
The Blossom festivals were later reinstated and continue with today's parade.

CORNING ? Property owners here expecting about a 1 percent increase in garbage collection rates scheduled for April can toss that figure to the curb.
Waste Management Inc. and Corning Disposal Service, which have an agreement with the city of Corning to annually request rate increases in line with consumer price index increases and fuel cost adjustments, initially requested a 0.99 percent rate hike for residential and commercial customers.
That figure will now be about 3.3 percent.
Postcards previously went out advertising the 0.99 percent monthly rate increase, which would have amounted to 21 cents for a 96-gallon residential cart, and property owners were given the opportunity to file protests.
At Tuesday's City Council meeting, Mayor Gary Strack said the city didn't receive any protests.
But City Manager John Brewer relayed that the rate increase requested by the garbage collection agency was miscalculated.
Matt Fryer, a district manager for Waste Management, told the council the requested increase will actually be about 3.3 percent because he was previously unaware of a tipping fee increase of about $6 per ton at the county landfill starting March 1.
?My apologies,? Fryer said. ?Almost $6 a ton is something that's not covered in the CPI, and unfortunately we can't absorb that cost every year when the tipping fees go that high,? he added.
The residential rate of $21.17 for a 96-gallon cart is now proposed to increase to $21.88 per month.
And the rate for a 32-gallon senior citizen cart would rise from $10.59 to about $10.94. New postcards will go out, and Fryer said Corning Disposal will reimburse the city for that cost.
?I was expecting to come in here and ask for 99 tenths of a point, um, unfortunately...? Fryer said, adding, ?I told John (Brewer) this morning that I don't want to come back a second time to ask for more. I know that's difficult.
It's difficult enough to come ask every year.?
Tuesday's public hearing on the rate increase was tentatively continued to March 11.
According to the previously advertised rate increase notice, protests must be made in writing and sent to the City Clerk at 794 Third St., or personally delivered at the hearing. Customers' names, addresses and the assessor's parcel number for properties need to be included.
?If a majority so protests,? the notice said, ?the rate increase will not be enacted.?
Strack told Fryer he initially was going to congratulate him on keeping the increase so low.
?But it's still low,? Strack said, with a laugh.

I think you could set up a do file with your sequential VAR equations specified within it.
After each equation, you could save the e(hqic) or e(sbic) and compare them to ascertain
which is the lowest.

text: Brian Obie Sixth Street "Market District" Development Moving Forward By Karen Richards • May 16, 2014 Karen Richards The design phase is moving forward to develop the "Market Street District" on 6th Street in downtown Eugene. Friday marked the first of three public input sessions. The two-acre site stretches from Oak to Pearl, across from the Fifth Street Market. Developers envision the area as a mix of retail and housing. Some of the units will be available at below market rates. Steve Ochs is with the Housing and Community Services Agency or HACSA. Eugene Entrepeneur Leases County Land for Mixed-Use Project By Tiffany Eckert • Dec 16, 2013 Tiffany Eckert Lane County got a new tenant today (Monday). Businessman and former Eugene Mayor Brian Obie entered into a 99-year lease with the county to build a mixed-use development project near 5th Street Public Market. KLCC's Tiffany Eckert attended the signing ceremony on the future site. Standing across from the Inn at the Fifth he built two years ago, Brian Obie signed the lease.

X-Factor Sports Jack Hamm Hammer X golf clubs are a joke! Muskegon Michigan
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I recently purchase the Hammer X driver from X-Factor Sports. I had upgraded to the X-Shaft as well for an additional $40. After the product price of $99 plus the upgrade and shipping, I ended up spending $184.85 on this club! They were sending me the new Hybrid for FREE, but I had to pay another $19.95 for shipping because I was told they could not put the clubs in the same box.
Once I received my clubs, I noticed that the driver did NOT have the X-Shaft on it that I paid extra for. I called the customer service department and they sent the new club out with a return label to send the wrong club back. I did so, but could not get to the golf course to try out the new clubs until 2 weeks later. When I finally tried the clubs, I hated them. They did nothing like they claimed could be done with them.
I once again called customer service to tell them that I wanted to return both of the clubs. I was told that they had not received the first club back and could not generate the return until after they got the first one. I then called FedEx where I shipped the box from and found out that they had already delivered the club to the company. I called back again to inquire about sending the other two clubs back only to be told that I had to send them back and pay for the shipping and insurance myself and that it could only be done through FedEx...if done through USPS, they would be returned to me. I told them that I wanted the original shipping refunded to me ($40) since I was having to pay for this shipping. They refused and was hung up on by the customer service person. I called back only to get a cranky drunk sounding man who had me on speaker phone. I told him about the poor customer service I had received and then he proceeded to tell me to get my head out of my a** and then he hung up on me.
At this point, I called my bank and filed a claim against the company. They reversed the charges and are investigating. I am sending the clubs back, at my expense, and will wait to hear the outcome. After reading other complaints against this company, I can only hope that my story will end the way that theirs have...by keeping the money that was refunded to my account while X-Factor fights to have it reversed back to theirs.
I don't know what type of person Jack Hamm is, but I'm sure that he would not want his name associated with the type of customer service that these people are showing...their ignorance is appauling!

Boulevard & Trumbull Towing has serviced towing in Detroit for more than 30 years. We are Detroit's premiere towing service. Our success in the towing industry has always been a product of our dedication to excellent customer service and strong committment to giving back to our community.
Boulevard & Trumbull Towing sent five trucks with drivers out to the east coast to assist with disaster recovery and clean up. More than twenty thousand vehicles, trucks, and equipment are stranded throughout the New Jersey and New York area. Our company, ever committed to our community, stepped up to help. Our drivers are taking time away from their families this Holiday season to help our fellow east coast Americans.
Gasper Fiore and Boulevard & Trumbull Towing assisted the Ciy of Detroit and its Eastern District residents when they cleaned up a church parking lot that had been used as a dumping site for several months. The site would not have been cleaned without the use of Boulevard & Trumbull's loaders and equipment. Mr. Fiore and the B&T team worked extremely hard to clean up the eye sore on the site, demonstrating our continued committment to help build a better Detroit.
Boulevard & Trumbull removed a 200 year cannon from the Detroit River this afternoon on behalf of the US Coast Guard and The Detroit Police Department. Our boom truck and Rotator safely brought the cannon to the surface for repair and future display. We invite you to look at our photos and video, available on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/BoulevardTrumbullTow.
B&T is giving away Tiger Tickets! Like Boulevard & Trumbull Towing on Facebook and enter for your chance to win 2 Tiger Tickets. Listen in to Mason in the Morning, 107.5 FM, for more details.
B&T Towing and the Gasper Fiore Foundation supported the Wayne County Sheriff's 'Youth & Senior Safety Fair', August 10th, on Belle Isle. Our staff manned an ice cream truck at the event on Belle Isle, giving out free ice cream to the County's children. The ice cream brought bright smiles to the children's faces and they enjoyed a very exciting day! We salute all those who participated. Thank You!"
Sunset at the Zoo fundraiser was a huge success. The Gasper Fiore Foundation was very proud to sponsor an underprivelged class to attend the Detroit Zoo for a field trip during the next school year. The Zoo has some new amazing additions. We hope you check them out!"

Sweet Wears Off
This was in the long days when you could buy lottery tickets with your tip money. We both had the same job, bussing bones out of the diner. The boss had no eyes, he had no mouth. His daughter had two doors and you could shift down.
This was when we leaned to mix aspartame into almost anything. This was when they spayed Tuesday, nothing else ever going to happen. The only day was that one afternoon in July, and the ATM spewed scrip. One hen marched down the back alley and one woman watched from the doorway.
We stole, Pendletons from Penney's, cash from the church. This was when the mail came in a box, four wheels, a stranger each time, everything on paper. Then they changed to the colored answers, batteries and bad news.
We took off our clothes and took deep breaths. We passed the physical, we passed the mental. We got in line, and put on the new accent, dropping letters out of our names. We shaved our attitudes, depilatories and electrolysis on what was left. We said this was a smile. We said this cut was where we would take in our nourishment.
We lived on jars of old summers, apricots pecked by long dead jays. We kept our shirts rolled up and let them see the names needled into our arms, nouns and food colors. We ate blue and danced.

sometimes we figure we should ought

Ok, so I really did enjoy this... It's not an easy thing to do, to take a single word like that & do continual rythm with it... I personally really enjoy it, Most people don't seem able to fully enjoy it as it ought to be enjoyed. Thanks for this one. Why not swing by & read some of my works too, if you "Fan" I will, & we can make sweet comments together...
So many human relationships swing on that very axis: ought? ought not?
Reminds me of a startling and revealing song lyric by John Mellencamp,of all folks, an unlikely(?) source for wisdom:
"When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
And it don't seem to mean anything to you now
Just try to live each and every precious moment
Don't be discouraged by the future, forget the past
That's old advice but it'll be good to you
I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past"
That last lyric resonates with me more and more as I grow older. "I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past"......
From extreme to extreme, oozing from sensation to sensation, we gently swing past clinging to the jungle vine of life and, if we pay attention, we get that glimpse of "balance", serenity, peace, Namaste even....heaven forbid we try to stop the vine swinging and disembark and check out that lovely paradise up close....THAT would be wisdom.....and we never seem to forget, in the pursuit of truth, that if/when we gingerly climb down off the vine, well....it's a jungle out there....
Other than that, your poetry prompts no thoughts or impressions or intellectual and emotional vignettes.
You continue to take snippits from life and present them in an entertaining light! Amazing and enjoyed. Thanks.
delightful, agreed dr. Freud/Seuss. You ought not stop.

Deeply embedded in our common law is the principle that justice should be administered openly. It is not a guarantee against injustice, but it is a powerful disincentive to the abuse of power.
In days past, the entire community would commonly be present at a trial. Even now, anyone may attend: with a few exceptions, particularly in the Family Court, court proceedings are open to the public.
In reality, though, few people show up, and even when public interest is high, public seating is limited. The news media attend as a proxy for the public and their reports constitute all that the public gets to know about what went on in court.
These reports are, by their very nature, selective. A day of court time will be condensed into a few hundred words, perhaps only dozens of which will be direct quotation of what was said. Understandably, the reports will concentrate on the most interesting and dramatic moments - people don't buy newspapers to read about the boring bits. The main point though, is that no news consumer can hope to have the whole picture.
All this makes the UMR survey of public opinion about the guilt or innocence of Ewen Macdonald questionable in the extreme and the decision by the Dominion-Post newspaper to publish the results more objectionable still.
Macdonald was acquitted last week of murdering his brother-in-law, Feilding farmer Scott Guy. The trial had unsurprisingly excited enormous public interest: it was a dramatic story full of many of the elements of gripping crime fiction. People were glued to the coverage and few were without an opinion as to what happened and why.
In reality, of course, those opinions were uninformed, or at best driven by reading - or misreading - of incomplete reports of what was said in court. The ideas that people solemnly intoned as fact were, at the very best, second-hand versions of others' surmises.
There was no stopping them, of course. In a case of such drama, public discussion - otherwise known as gossip - is always going to rumble along. But when it appears in the press as a matter of public record, it assumes a credibility that it does not deserve.
Some of the public unease may be traced to the fact that Macdonald faces other charges, the details of which are still to be made public. Whether those charges will influence opinion remains to be seen, but it will not make it any more valid. The only opinions that count are those of the 11 jurors who sat through four weeks of evidence.
The assertion that the opinions recorded by UMR were uninformed is more than a quibble; it is a matter of law. As a society we expect our courts to try matters fairly. We expect the Crown to adduce all the facts at its disposal that might urge a verdict of guilty; more important, we expect a robust defence that will require the case to be proven beyond reasonable doubt (the jury's, not our workmates' or the local publican's). Anyone who finds that problematic might like to consider how they would feel if the Crown had a strong, but mistaken, case against them.
In this case, the jurors were not satisfied of Macdonald's guilt, so they acquitted him. We are all entitled to our own opinions about that outcome, but it does the media no credit when they elevate public gossip to news. Around half of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein organised 9/11 and that God created the Earth.
That doesn't make their opinions worth reporting in the paper.


text: Woo hoo! Had a DING come up so I checked it (I've just been keeping an eye on prices, since our travel isn't until Sept. and DINGs are only through June right now). I noticed that Manchester to Orlando had gone up - DING fares for that had been around $54/one way; today they were $94! Yikes! So, I went to the Southwest site and discovered to my joy that they are now booking out through October! Plugged in our late Sept. dates and there was an Internet special for the same DING fare of $94 (o/w). Figured with prices on the rise I'm not going to do any better, so I grabbed it. For our family of 5, that's a great deal and I am SOOOO excited to finally have this done! Now it REALLY feels like we're going!!

A ∑GIi/D/1/∞ queue with heterogeneous input/output slot times
Long, Y.H., Ho, T.K., Rad, A.B., & Lam, S.P.S. (1999) A ∑GIi/D/1/∞ queue with heterogeneous input/output slot times. Computer Communications, 22(12), pp. 1136-1149.
In this paper, we present a ∑GIi/D/1/∞ queue with heterogeneous input/output slot times. This queueing model can be regarded as an extension of the ordinary GI/D/1/∞ model. For this ∑GIi/D/1/∞ queue, we assume that several input streams arrive at the system according to different slot times. In other words, there are different slot times for different input/output processes in the queueing model. The queueing model can therefore be used for an ATM multiplexer with heterogeneous input/output link capacities. Several cases of the queueing model are discussed to reflect different relationships among the input/output link capacities of an ATM multiplexer. In the queueing analysis, two approaches: the Markov model and the probability generating function technique, are adopted to develop the queue length distributions observed at different epochs. This model is particularly useful in the performance analysis of ATM multiplexers with heterogeneous input/output link capacities.
