Phish's Junta is fetching double its Record Store Day price on eBay. Clearly it was worth the wait.
Sleep-deprived Phish fans who woke up early for Record Store Day made a great investment it seems. As noted in our Record Store Day coverage, the most sought-after piece of vinyl on the April 21 event was a limited-edition vinyl pressing of the band's first album, Junta, and the available copies went fast. One version included a limited edition poster ($80), while the other, slightly-less-super-deluxe version went for $40. Both versions are now going for roughly twice that amount on eBay.

But that doesn't mean everybody's selling. Some folks, like Tim Dobert, whom we caught up with on Record Store Day, are avid collectors. "Understand I've been seeing Phish since early '90s," he explains. "I first saw them at a bar here in Crested Butte. I grew up listening to the Grateful Dead, and when I heard Phish, I knew this was the band I wanted to follow around. I've been a collector of their posters, music -- anything -- ever since."
Twist & Shout ordered sixty copies of the album -- thirty of each version -- from the limited run of 5,000, and sold out in five minutes. Dobert bought two of those copies. "Last year I dropped $350 at Record Store Day," he says, "but this year, I'm getting married, so I'm on a budget."

You have to admire a man with a sense of priorities. The Crested Butte resident drove five hours to join Record Store Day's festivities, a national event that emphasizes the importance of supporting local music outlets. He stood in line at Wax Trax at 3 a.m. the night before, just to ensure he'd get his coveted copies of Junta.
Cleary Dobert isn't buying Phish swag for what he might make by reselling it. But the tiny number of pressings does beg the question: Was it a good investment? According to eBay, it was. One copy of Junta that included the limited edition poster just sold for $174 -- more than double what Dobert paid for it. Many of the non-poster versions are fetching $80, also double what Twist charged. The store could've named any price, says Dobert, and it would've still had a buyer. "If they'd put a $300 price tag on it," he confesses, "I'd have bought it. It doesn't matter."

Foreign policy little more than empty rhetoric
Wednesday, Aug 06, 2014 06:00 am
�The Government� doth protest too much, methinks! The bluster, the bravado that both John Baird and Stephen Harper espouse over Russian antics, while supporting and leaving much unsaid about Israeli actions, should raise questions in our minds. What is the difference between these two conflicts, the atrocities that are perpetuated, and why is little more being done, other than rhetoric, for either war?
In truth, it does not matter what Canada�s opinion is on these matters, as we have very little influence on the world�s stage. Russia will most definitely ignore what we say as there is little we can do to back up our rhetoric.
It does make some sense as to why we support Israel, as we have a free trade agreement with them. But supporting this conflict contradicts modern Canadian values, and it is contrary to the international community, which has condemned Israeli actions in this unending conflict. Ironically, because of this trade agreement, we might actually have some influence, but we have chosen to ignore this opportunity to lead. Again, the question should be �why?�
These conflicts do have significance for certain regions of the world. The Middle East has been a troubled spot for decades. Since the end of the Cold War, however, it has exploded as it struggles to find a new equilibrium, with little resolution in sight. There is little that any state outside of this region can do to impose peace.
Russia is a more delicate issue, as it is both a military and economic power in the European region. Vladimir Putin, though demonized in the West, is very popular amongst the Russian peoples as he pursues the nationalistic greatness of his country�s past. But Russia is not without its problems; it faces stagflation and an economy on the verge of collapse. Should its economy fall into the abyss, its best course of action would be to expand into Western Europe, as war is one solution to an economic collapse. And this is something we are ill prepared to deal with.
Neither of these conflicts is in Canada�s interests, so why does it continue to press aggressively? Neither Israel nor Ukraine is of great economic or strategic importance to Canada. These battles, in fact, undermine our interests that lie in trade, and maybe we should be the state pushing for a resolution, pursuing peace. Instead, our government insists on talking �tough,� knowing it will never �walk the walk.�
The answer to the recurring question is quite simple: the feigned indignation is for domestic consumption only, as the Conservative Party sees political votes in its rhetoric. It is appealing to the Ukrainian and Israeli supporters here in Canada on the hope that this will translate into economic sponsorship and votes in the next election. And so, this feigned indignation over these events is little more than political self-interest, but at what cost to Canada, to us?

Verb Ballets' Winter Series Features Work of Chung-Fu Chang Tonight
Verb Ballets returns to the Breen Center for the Performing Arts tonight, February 23, 2013, at 8pm to experience an evening of work by Chung-Fu Chang.
Chang was born in Taiwan and discovered his passion for dance at age 17. He went on to perform with Cloudgate Dance Theatre and Kaohsiung Contemporary Dance Company. His works have been performed nationally and internationally. Chang's evening of work explores the evolution of his personal identity influenced by his participation in contemporary societies, both Asian and Western.
"Last year I was impressed by the visually stunning, The Lily. I enjoyed how he utilized the stage as an artist would to paint canvas. His return to Verb offers the opportunity to present a collection of work to showcase his unique style and range," said Director, Dr. Margaret Carlson.
Chang returns this season to set a new full company work inspired by the wind. Exploring the idea of wind movement Chang will borrow its breeze with movement, dynamics, path, speed, shape, and ultimately the wind's emotion. This distinctive fusion of East and West will show the power of the wind and its gentle hidden potential.
The Lily, a visually stunning work created especially for Verb Ballets last year, will be revived. This full company work depicts a love story based on an ancient Taiwanese tale of passion and destiny. Donald Rosenberg of The Plain Dealer described the piece as, "the movement style is fluid and ritualistic, rooted in ballet but shaded by Asian colorations."
In addition Chang will perform on the program in a new solo, called Pheasant's Writing. The solo is inspired from one of the poems of the Shijing, the Classic of Poetry, a collection of songs and poems from the Zhou Dynasty (10th-7th century BC) of ancient China. These rhyming works have been passed down through generations. "The oral cultures are capable of immense sophistication and tend to become visible only when they come into contact with the literate genres that are destined to replace them," said Chang about his inspiration from the Classic of Poetry. Pheasant's Writing is a work about secrets, identity, and finding one's own language.
Also on the program is the world premiere of Richard Dickinson's ballet about loss and longing, set to Richard Strauss' haunting Four Last Songs. This piece will interpret the haunting melodies of Strauss' last work and the writings of the poets, Hermann Hesse and Joseph von Eichendorff. The hope in Spring, the fading light of September, the darkness of losing someone in a Time to Sleep; and the mourning of letting a loved one go, At Dust, Dickinson's work explores the story lines in the beauty and gracefulness of the four songs.
Immediately following the performance will be a wine and dessert reception at the new West side art gallery, Transformer Station, located at 1460 West 29th Street Cleveland, OH 44113. The Transformer Station is a project of Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Foundation that is designed to bring original contemporary art exhibitions, events and programming from around the world to the west side of Cleveland. Be one of the first to experience the collection of contemporary photography and photo-based art. Mingle with the dancers and talk with choreographer, Chung-Fu Chang, at the renovated transit substation. Tickets to the reception are $15 and require a reservation by calling 216.397.3757.

While 2011 may be half-over, there is still plenty of time to incorporate the right technologies to streamline retail operations by yearend. Chain Store Age spoke with Jay Yanko, managing principal of Verizon Retail & Distribution, about some top technologies for lowering costs and upping efficiencies.
How can a retailer decide which technologies will lower costs, maximize efficiency and create value?
It's not an easy question. I can tell you that we're seeing many retailers turning to the cloud. Even with ambiguity around an exact definition, the cloud is a key way for retailers to streamline their IT operations. Previously, the cloud was a symbol on a diagram, a way of representing the communication infrastructure between two systems that were not on the same local network. Today, it is a universal term used to describe billions upon billions of dollars of infrastructure — computers, routers, switches, copper, fiber — operating systems and applications that make up and operate the Internet.
How does the cloud help retailers?
Cloud allows for the centralization of operational systems and aggregation of metrics from disparate business processes. This creates a more efficient and costeffective deployment of systems and people, as physical and logical functions can be pushed up the technology stack. The cloud also allows instrumentation, such as sensors and other business intelligence tools, to gather information about and monitor lower-level operations and then make their outputs more visible to decision-makers. New technologies, centralization and services enabled by cloud allow for new business processes to be conceived, implemented, managed and monitored.
How else does the cloud help centralize the management?
First, the cloud means lower levels of integration with store-level systems because integration is intrinsic in the development and deployment of centralized systems. This reduces the effort required to connect to and gather store-level metrics and aggregate functions and provide better, timelier reporting. Centralized systems delivered as services also lend themselves to op-ex models. That becomes important as many retailers look for ways to shift their balance sheets. And lastly, centralization reduces the complexity of integration for systems and data as it is much easier to integrate a few systems based on services, rather than thousands of distributed systems.
Are there some key functional areas where retailers can take advantage of the cloud to centralize operations?
Absolutely. There are four main areas where retailers can centralize the management of IT operations: point of sale; task and workforce management; digital media management; and customer analytics.
To elaborate on digital media management, it is important to note that central management of content in the cloud minimizes work at the region or in-store. It also creates a consistent brand feel and awareness across stores.
For instance, retailers can tailor media experiences that are customized for the brand, season, time, weather, location and customer demographics. The issue, of course, is that this calls for high bandwidth. High-quality digital media is comprised of large files that need to be distributed to many locations for display. While bandwidth and timing of content delivery are concerns, they can be managed by scheduling delivery at low-network usage times and by only delivering updates and not complete refreshes.
Customer analytics allows for click stream in the real world. It provides the brick-and-mortar equivalent of click-stream data. When combined with click stream and central POS, this offers a complete view of consumers across all channels. Once again, video means high bandwidth, which can be overcome with systems that perform the analysis in the store and only aggregate the analytics information centrally. This increases the store footprint a bit but also provides on-site repository of video that can be repurposed for loss prevention.
Any final thoughts or recommendations for retailers?
All retail technologies out there certainly create challenges for retail IT professionals. The technologies we talked about today help cut through the noise. One thing to note is that all of these solutions are either consumer facing or a way to understand the consumer better, or a combination of both. Because at the end of the day, it's all about the customer

Japan's government, faced with more houses than households, is encouraging people to renovate as a step towards creating a strong resale market. Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's administration is offering environmental incentives to home owners to remodel, rather than follow the postwar scrap-and-build policy. The ruling Democratic Party of Japan aims to boost sales of existing homes and extend their lifespan from an average of 30 years, compared with 55 in the US. "Right now a man's castle becomes worthless after 25 years and is industrial waste in 40," said Takeshi Maeda, a DPJ lawmaker who helped draft the provisions. "We want home owners to be able to make money by renting their houses or selling them, so they have value as an asset just like in other countries." Bloomberg

A Lubbock County jury sentenced a 22-year-old man Thursday to 50 years in prison for breaking into the home of a woman he had dated last fall and threatening her with a knife.
Patrick Adams was accused of knocking down the woman's apartment door in the 1800 block of Sixth Street and pointing a knife at her on Sept. 26, 1999, prosecutors said. She threw hot water on him and hit him with a pipe. He dropped the knife and ran away, according to police records.
Police spotted Adams and followed him as he broke into an apartment in the 2100 block of Fifth Street. The resident told Adams to get out, but he refused. When police arrived, he tried to break out a back bedroom window to escape, prosecutor George Leal said.
The crime, burglary of a habitation with intent to commit aggravated assault, is a first-degree felony punishable by five to 99 years in prison. The knife made the crime an aggravated offense. Adams was also ordered to pay $10,000, the maximum for felony fines.

ISLANDERS could be spared a hike in fuel duty by a last-minute change of heart by the Council of Ministers.
ISLANDERS could be spared a hike in fuel duty by a last-minute change of heart by the Council of Ministers.
A comment published on the eve of tomorrow's Budget debate suggests that the Council of Ministers is considering accepting the proposal by Deputy Gerard Baudains to cancel their proposed three-pence-per-litre duty rise.
The 6.9% increase in fuel duty would raise around £1.4 million, but the Deputy is challenging it, saying that motorists are already contributing some £20m million in tax.Subscribe to our Newsletter
Comments for: "Minister reconsiders 3p rise in fuel duty"
The advantage of this rise is that many people who avoid income tax here at least contribute something by these taxes and GST.
Get people on their bikes if they are poor.
Johnny le Maistre
Well said. In such a small island the majority of journeys by the majority of people could easily be made on foot or by bike.
C Le Verdic
"The advantage of this rise is that many people who avoid income tax here at least contribute something by these taxes and GST"
...and people in business can pass on the additional cost to their customers, assuming that they will have many customers once the customers all become bike riding poor!
The dis-advantage of the rise would be far greater - use your common sense, rises in the price of fuel mean an increase in everything that you buy, it's always a good excuse anyway for the greedy business men! whinges appear about transporting the goods around that massive 9 x 5 island!!!
How gracious of senator ozouf for allowing us to use our cars now that its tipping down with rain everyday!!!
These are the same people who are going to work to pay for all these tax increases…
If there really is a god I hope he helps us all in the new year……. Because the taxpayers are going to need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pip Clement
Either way it will not make much difference when the world economy picks up.
We are in the depths of a dreadful recession and oil sits at around $100 a barrel and supply is quite tight.
Coming out of it could push the price up to £1.25 a litre for vanilla unleaded, which might be enough to push the economy back under again.
No easy solutions.
"Minister reconsiders 3p rise in fuel duty"
...And decides to make it 5P!

I am bemused why it is so necessary to impose so much tax on transport. The Americans don't believe in it, as it restricts freedom, enterprise and adds cost to the working man trying to earn a living.
It is also unfair in that poorer people who are unable to afford a moderen, fuel efficient car, and thus are forced to buy more petrol end up paying more tax

Number 6,973,927
The next time you go on
an outdoor adventure will you have a GrillGuard?
Why It
Makes Your
Barbecue Grill Cook So Much Better !!
Voted "Best Product" For
2003 thru 2013 Winter
Quartzsite, AZ
Remember in grade school when the science
teacher took a fan then held up a piece of cardboard in front it and lit a match >> we were all so surprised because the flame went toward the fan. This uses the same theory; you put the back of the GrillGuard toward the wind and all the heat that was normally lost
is now forced back into the barbecue grill, so it gets unbelievably hot!!
Searing meat quickly on both sides, a "trick" used by all great barbecue chefs, keeps it from drying out and keeps meat extra juicy!!
A 1" thick rib-eye steak cooked medium rare takes 5 minutes a side and all the juices are seared in instead of baking them out....... when you are cooking your "great burgers" you can now sear them on each side, because your grill gets much hotter.
If you're having friends over to your campsite for dinner and need more cooking room have them bring their grill because GrillGuard will hold 2 (two)
portable barbecue grills; just turn them so the gas valves face outward.
GrillGuard will also help protect your table. Just wipe up any drippings from your grill that collect on the "heavy duty" aluminum bottom.
If you are in a "high wind" area like the Southwest Desert, Oregon coast or any Beach you will really really appreciate the GrillGuard. Your grill will cook like it never has before.

Brothers busted after search warrant uncovers 60 pounds of pot, guns
December 19, 2012
The telltale aroma of marijuana seeping from a storage unit allegedly led to two Rough and Ready brothers being busted for drugs and guns.
An anonymous caller reported the odor to the Nevada County Sheriff's Narcotics Task Force, and task force members served a search warrant Tuesday on the storage unit at Penn Valley Mini Storage in the 17000 block of Penn Valley Drive, said Sgt. Guy Selleck.
"They popped the lock and found 10 firearms, one of which was stolen," Selleck said. "They also found $11,400 in cash, more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition and 30 pounds of marijuana."
The storage unit has been rented by a man identified as Donald Brezo, 51, who is a convicted felon and not supposed to have guns or ammunition, Selleck said. Selleck added that there were multiple items in the unit that indicated he was the renter, including an ID card.
Narcotics task force members then obtained a search warrant on Brezo's residence in the 14000 block of Stagecoach Way, which they served Wednesday.
Donald's brother, Marko Brezo, 56, allegedly was found trimming pot in a detached shed that Selleck described as a processing and grow room.
Deputies also allegedly found another 30 pounds of marijuana in the shed.
Marko Brezo was arrested on suspicion of cultivating marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and criminal conspiracy. He was booked and released on $10,000 bail.
Donald Brezo was subsequently arrested at his place of employment. He was booked into county jail on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale, being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, possession of stolen property and criminal conspiracy and released on $10,000 bail.

February 5, 2005
AMHERST, MA - Junior swingman John Casnocha (San Francisco, CA) nailed a half-court buzzer beater as time expired in the opening half and came perilously close to notching his first career triple-double with 16 points and game- and career-highs of 12 rebounds and seven assists to lead the fourth-ranked Amherst College men's basketball team to a decisive 105-73 win over visiting NESCAC rival Middlebury College (6-15/1-6 NESCAC) on Saturday afternoon. Amherst improved to 19-1 overall and remained undefeated in NESCAC play at 7-0.
Perhaps riding the carry-over effect from Friday night's 72-45 thrashing of visiting archrival Williams, the Jeffs came out smoking once again on Saturday, hitting five of their first six shots en route to a whopping 21-2 advantage with 14:12 left in the first half. All five Amherst starters scored during the early barrage, which evolved into an insurmountable 62-32 cushion at the break. Casnocha stamped the Jeffs' first-half dominance when he grabbed a defensive rebound off a blocked shot by teammate Mike Salerno (Shrewsbury, MA) and, with just one second remaining, lofted a majestic half-court rainbow that found nothing but the bottom of the net.
The second half grew even uglier for Middlebury, which trailed by as many as 40 points after the intermission. Amherst's reserves played the final 14 minutes and pierced the century mark when rookie center Kevin Hopkins (Greenfield Center, NY) connected off a nifty post feed from fellow first-year Brandon Jones (Hopatcong, NJ) with 1:27 left in regulation.
In all, 14 Amherst players found the scoring column. Senior co-captain Andrew Schiel (Wayne, PA) did the bulk of the damage with a game-high 18 points. Junior guard John Bedford (Ridgewood, NJ) joined Schiel and Casnocha in double figures with 15 points to go along with eight rebounds. Sophomore Dan O'Shea (Lawrence, MA) and Hopkins paced the reserves with nine points apiece.
Sophomore Bobby Marcoux (Campbell Hall, NY) and senior Simon Behan (Dublin, Ireland) paced Middlebury with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
Amherst returns to action Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. against visiting Lasell College.

This year at Free Spirits we had an unexpected request: build Kevin Carmichael's motorcycle, Triumph official Stuntman.
The working base is a modern-classic Triumph Scrambler, officially launched at the 2014 Tridays event (www.tridays.it).
We are not used to be customizers, but more likely special parts producers (take a look at www.freespirits.it), so we were a little skeptical, but we like challenges so we just started this new project!!
Stay tuned for all episodes!!

The Message - Poem by Tasha Young
Quietness no sounds in the distance except natural nature.
Mother earth speaking now and I sit and listen to everything she has to say every word every detail.
As I look out at the ocean I enjoy her putting on a display.
Lightning bolts dance in pairs dancing to the rhythm of thunder in the air.
The dance ended the music stop the clouds open up and show numerous beautiful lights.
I lay on the beautiful green grass, and look up at the twinkling sky.
Deer's, rabbits, frogs, fox's, and fire-flies come out and enjoy the beautiful night.
The deer's frolic through the trees, the rabbits are eating.
The message I have listen, and embraced her beauty while learning many lessons that she has observed.
The troubles and problems that we have gained over the year and the solutions she has discovered that will to the way we were times ago.
I will do what she has taught me, and get people involved.
And together we will make the world a better place and a greener one too.

After being told by Central Security in Dec. 2012 that they have cellular device for home alarm system that would work if no landline available, I discontinued my landline in early Feb. 2013. Contacted Central Security to get set-up with the cellular system. Took 2 weeks or more to get the specific person (apparently only 1 person could help) on the phone. Was told there was a $200 charge for the device + I had to agree to additional 2 year contract + additonal $12 per month. Was asked to send email agreeing to terms. Through negotiation, the $200 was waived. I sent the email. No one contacted me to set-up installation. After 2 months of waiting I began calling again. Was told someone would get back to me to set-up installation. No one called. Finally in April 2013, I stopped the automatic payments from my checking account. Within 2 weeks someone called to inquire about the payments. I informed them that I had been paying for 3 months with no service, it appeared that they had no device for cellular so they breached contract by not providing the service. Since then I had not heard from anyone by phone. Have only received invoices in the mail for the months since I discontinued the auto payments. These folks are Ripoff artists! They claim to provide services that they do not have! Unbelievable!!

I often work in gourmet eateries frequented by the likes of the Firecrotch, KimYe and every Tom, Dick and Harry in between. Oh, they're no Alain Ducasse type of places but shit – they sure do put on a great front (and mostly fail). Yet, the bar/restaurant/lounge going public couldn't care less how many Michelin Stars these spots aren't bestowed. From their perspective, the eats are damned good and the eye-candy, even better. So when you roll into my restaurant bar, peruse the menu, and ask me "what's good?," be prepared for a big, fat, fake-ass smile. Brace yourself for a litany of grad-school approved, Madison Ave fluffed superlatives suggesting the priciest (read: bigger tip percentage) McNuggets on the menu and how scrumptious I say they are. There's just one problem: it's all a big fat fucking lie.
When you sit your ass down for a meal at my restaurant, whether it's at a table, lounge, hi-boy or bar, there are certain things you should expect (if you're dining). One of those things is The Spiel. You'll fall victim to a much extended spiel if you're stupid enough to ask questions about particular menu items rather than sit passively and let us proceed with our requisite and finest stage work. The Spiel, is a suggestive run through select menu items and/or specials, where servers supposedly give an honest opinion about their favorite menu items.
But here's the rub – and it's two fold: (1) We're only going to sell you the most expensive items on the menu in order to get the Check Average up into the stratosphere, regardless of whether that's what we would have ordered or not. It makes no difference if it's a good pairing for your other courses and beverages, the season, the time, the weather or present company. If it's pricey, we want you to buy it – period. The bookkeeper and the G.M. will be making gold calves in my likeness after selling your table 13 apps, 6 Porterhouses for Two, 14 sides, 6 sauces, 4 pastries, 18 shots of Johnnie Walker Blue, and 4 bottles of Armand de Brignac magnum – I assure you. Well, at least until the next shift but that's another story. We go from hero to zero on a daily basis (2) lowly me, I have never fucking tasted that $120, large-format, aged steak despite me ranting and raving about it just a few minutes prior. I expertly sold you on the collagen-enhancing, dry aging and tenderizing process, and the tantalizingly succulence in every bite. I wowed you with flavor-lock talk, our house-special searing, and how our cut strikes that perfect balance between melt-in-your-mouth goodness that is bone-in filet, and the elevated, perfectly marbled, classic flavor of the charred strip side – popping off with juicy goodness. Hungry yet?
In just about every restaurant bar I've ever worked in, patrons someone are under the belief that the staff has eaten, and routinely eats, every item on the menu. Well, that's just now true. I may have sampled a house steak like 1 year ago – maybe. I might have caught a tiny, cold nibble of one catch of the days, out of the 5 specials we have that evening. I don't know about you, but I try my damned best not to shit where I eat. For instance, I get dog tired of the in-house offerings once I've had them 33,756 times no matter how stupendous they are. Sometimes, I'd just prefer to roll down the street to the nearest Halal cart, Seoul truck, or Taco truck and eat in fucking peace (I love me some Taco Bell too but don't repeat that).
More often, the bigger reason why I don't eat what I'm recommending is because I'm fucking not allowed to. Can you imagine how quickly the restaurant would go under if all F.O.H. were allowed to consume every menu item? They'd sink rather quickly. Obviously, those rules don't often apply to managers, owners and the like whether they're on the job or off. Most places do give management some food perks. Since they're relatively small in number, management's impact on the bottom line is usually insignificant – unless they're passive thieves, complicit, or just plain incompetent.
So what do we get to eat before, after or during a long shift? Short answer: (a) Family Meal (b) Shift Meal or (c)
Go Fuck Yourself Meal Fend for Yourself Meal. A family is just that – a large pot of yesterday's shit-ass leftovers, miraculously brought back to life by porters Sous Chefs and slopped into food service pans for the staff to pick through either before or after their shifts. It's akin to soup line for bums at your local church. A Shift Meal kicks it up a couple of notches and allows you to order "a la carte" from the kitchen when you're good and ready – almost always, from a limited "low cost" selection, and mostly at the beginning or end of your shift.
The third category, despite how it sounds can be both a blessing or a curse. It can be a curse in that you have less political clout than Jim Lehrer, and can in no way, shape, or form convince or bribe the kitchen to do you a solid or two, you're so god damned busy all night, that you simply don't posses the 2 minute window necessary to scoff down a proper meal in a back crevice of the venue somewhere. In that case, you're left to fend for yourself and scavenge from the kitchen, long after they've gone home. You'll be presented with such lovely choices as 3-hour cold sauteed greens, hockey puck frozen mystery meat de jour (with bonus gnaws for mo better flavor), chilled Mahi Mahi steak caulk remover, and super-tasty, artery clogging, rock-solid, mashed spuds – all of which you can see in the picture above. It's for fucking real. This is often what I'm left with in terms of nomming choices come 4am – turd sandwiches.
Fun eh? And you wanted to be a bartender?

In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak. Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue, but she is an indelible part of it, having long ago been made a figure of speech, a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn between competing loyalties.

- 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined, shells reserved
- 2 cups water
- 1 celery rib, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- Salt
- 1 pound fresh fettuccine or 1 1/4 pounds dried fettuccine
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound small zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 large garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 10 large basil leaves, roughly torn into pieces
- 1 teaspoon very finely chopped oregano
- Crushed red pepper
- 12 small zucchini blossoms, stems and pistils removed, petals roughly torn
- Freshly ground pepper
In a small saucepan, cover the shrimp shells with the water. Add the sliced celery and carrot and boil the shrimp shells over high heat until the liquid has reduced to 1 cup, about 20 minutes. Strain the shrimp stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract the liquid. Season the shrimp stock with salt.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine until just barely al dente. Drain the fettuccine, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water.
In a large, deep skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil until shimmering. Add the sliced zucchini and garlic and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is just softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp stock, fettuccine, shrimp, tomato sauce, basil, oregano and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add a pinch of crushed pepper and simmer over moderate heat, tossing constantly, until the shrimp are pink and the sauce is nearly absorbed, about 4 minutes. Add the torn zucchini blossoms and toss just until they are wilted. Stir in the reserved pasta cooking water and season the fettuccine generously with salt and pepper. Transfer the fettuccine to a large serving bowl and serve immediately.

Brussels (AFP) April 30, 2014
The European Union force sent to help stem deadly sectarian violence in the Central African Republic is operational and has been deployed at Bangui airport, EU sources said Wednesday.
The troops are taking over airport security from French soldiers who will be deployed elsewhere in the strife-torn country.
What is known as the EUFOR-RCA force currently numbers 150 soldiers, contributed mostly by France, the former colonial power in CAR, and Estonia.
The numbers will increase steadily to 800 by June, boosted by troops from Spain, Finland and Italy among others plus from Georgia.
Full strength is 1,000, with the force concentrated in Bangui and at its airport during its six-month mission.
Ultimately, the aim is to hand over to a UN force of some 12,000 tasked with maintaining security in a country riven by clashes between Christians and Muslims.
In the latest violence, two civilians were killed when gunmen ambushed a convoy of some 1,300 Muslims fleeing Bangui on Sunday, international peacekeepers said.

ObamaCare 'rates' & reality
The latest ObamaCare fabrication, exposed by the health system's own numbers cruncher, is that government-directed medical care somehow will reduce small-business premiums by 4 percent — and by as much as 25 percent in 2016.
But the dream proffered back in 2009 by President Obama has become today's nightmare, as detailed by the actuary for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: 65 percent of small businesses offering insurance will see their rates go up.
And that will affect about 11 million workers, according to Investor's Business Daily.
Although the actuary's report doesn't say how much rates will rise, studies cited by Investor's Business Daily peg the hike between 12 percent and 20 percent. Which businesses are likely to see their rates inflate? Why, those that employ younger — and healthier — workers, who under ObamaCare inevitably must pay more to keep the scheme afloat.
Naturally, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats are calling the report "incomplete." Just last summer, Mrs. Pelosi insisted that ObamaCare "lowers costs" for small business.
"Notice that nowhere — either before or after ObamaCare passed — did any Democrat say anything about two-thirds of small businesses paying more for health coverage so the lucky one-third could get rate cuts," Investor's Business Daily opines.
And such abhorrent deceit won't end until the deceived demand ObamaCare's repeal.

This is one of my "go-to" recipes when I need something quick, warm, and filling. My kids love it with ketchup on top (who am I kidding? I do too!) and this is one of those recipes my whole family enjoys. It makes a huge 9×13″ pan, so sometimes I will freeze half of it and save for another day (hooray for freezer meals!).
You can head on over to our YouTube Channel to see more amazing recipes, just like this one!

So that video pretty much sums up the negative impressionnewcomers to the game *may* get.
As for me, I did like what I see, but I am not a newcomer. I've been following the apparent progress
of this game for over 2 years now, so I am biased to take a second, third, and even forth look at
everything, simply because I am "hooked". However, if this was NOT Final Fantasy, and if it was
NOT a game that allowed me to play with the whole world, I doubt I would be impressed by what
I see, as I usually do not select the games I play by polygon counts and shader complexity.
At this point, I think it's o.k. to wonder about what this game is really going to bring to the table.
- Good graphics? - Definitely.
- Engaging combat? - Umm-humm.
- A good storyline? - Umm-humm.
I guess we'll see. But I remember that - despite the fact that even those games did not manage to
retain their initial success later - when I first saw promotion stuff about TERA, Rift, and SWTOR, the
classes and their mechanics simply looked snappy, interesting, and most of all: unique and fun.
Mercenary. Berserker. Riftstalker. Sith Consular. Templar. And each with it's own cool (sounding)
abilities: Riftwalk. Force lightning. Sattelite strikes. Inventive stuff. Lots of snares, debuffs, decoys,
switches, conditional abilities. Even if it's just the basically same stuff every other MMO has in another
color. And we get: Fire. Water. Stone. Double-stab-speat attack. 3-stab-spear attack. With lots of
explosions that seem in no way related to the actual abilities being used.

Real Dating Advice For The Technological Age
Yesterday, I did an interview with CNN Live about Leonora Epstein's article, "Automatic Online Dating Dealbreakers." (You can watch it after the jump, if you're so inclined, but please know the style department will be doing more about my hideous under-eye circles and lighting the next time around.) That same day, Julia Allison, blogging "sexpert," was on MTV's "It's On With Alexa Chung" discussing the similar, but broader topic of dating in the realm of new media – texting, Facebook, online dating, etc. You can watch the segment above. She had five tips prepared for Alexa and then provided two others prompted by viewer questions. Some of her tips I could get behind, while the others kind of blew my mind. I'll give it to you straight, after the jump… Julia's tips are definitely targeted at women, though I think "It's On With Alexa Chung" is for a wide audience, so it was unfortunate that they weren't a lil' more coed. Julia says the goal with these tips is to hide the fact that you — i.e. tha ladiez – are crazy, to trick the guy you're dating into thinking you're, well, sane, and then once he's fallen in love with you, let your crazy flag fly. I know she's joking, in theory, but I really hate to see anyone propagate the myth that all women are crazy. Plenty of men's magazines do that already.
Moving on. So how do we manage dating in the technological age without men finding out we're bats**t nuts? Here are Miss Allison's tips:
- Use your real name for your online dating profile. I agree with Julia – just as Leo does in her piece – that one can go very, very wrong with a screen name. But just because "IHeartChuckBass" is lame that doesn't mean using your real name is the way to go. Trust me, I (accidentally) did it. When I signed up for my OKCupid account – which has since been deleted – I used my first and middle names for my username, without thinking about it. (I think I was drinking white wine at the time.) Suddenly, a bunch of people, who read on The Frisky that I was online dating on OKCupid, were able to find me and message me. My privacy was blown.
ALTERNATIVE TIP: As Leo wrote, Magnum anything is a terrible way for a dude to present himself online, but creating a screen name that reflects who you are in a positive way is difficult. I suggest you pick a subject or thing you really love and create a screen name based on that. Mine would be "PeonyMacNCheese." What about yours?
- Do not Facebook-friend him immediately. Generally speaking, I agree with Allison on this tip, but not for the same reason – Julia says doing so will make you look like a psycho and, remember, you don't want him to know that yet. I don't think it necessarily makes you crazy, but perhaps a tad overeager. Facebook profiles reveal a lot of information about a person, tidbits that it's much nicer to learn on, you know, dates. If his profile isn't private you likely won't be able to resist a looksie, but if it is, I would advise against Facebook-friending him JUST to find out what his favorite band is. That's what Google is for.
The real reason, though, that you should not friend someone you've just started dating is that if things don't work out, you are suddenly stuck reading the boring updates of a person who you were never really friends with and then have to decide whether to unfriend him. I currently am Facebook friends with three dudes I've gone out on dates with. It's irritating.
ALTERNATE TIP: Facebook-friend him when you genuinely consider him a friend. I realize this is not always typical of Facebook-friending, as I am Facebook pals with everyone from that guy in IT from my last job whose name I can't remember to my ex-boyfriend's boss. Wait to friend him until you feel like no matter what happens between the two of you, you will be happy to read his status updates and take a peek at his vacation photos.
- Do not respond immediately to his texts. Allison advises waiting approximately 43 minutes to text him back. This is game-playing, and juvenile, amateur game-playing at that. Don't be rude. Text him back when you have a response and the time to type it out on your little cellphone key pad. Jesus.
- Lock your phone. So he can't read any of the sext messages you're sending to other guys I guess? Or so he doesn't see that you have Miley Cyrus on your morning commute playlist? Look, you should lock your phone so no one can sift through your private info, but if you're that worried about your boyfriend having access to your Blackberry, you're likely up to no good and I ain't givin' your cheatin' ass no tips!
ALTERNATIVE TIP: OK, here's one. If you have something to hide, don't hide it on your phone, dimwit.
- Don't send him nude photos. Agreed with Julia on this one. This is how Vanessa Hudgens' nudie pic ended up on the internet! Even if you trust him not to distribute that photo of your ta-tas covered in whip cream, do you trust him to be smart and cautious enough to hide it from prying eyes?
ALTERNATIVE TIP: Take naked photos of him, of course.
- Don't give a guy your Facebook password. Julia says that if you do this, when you break up, he will print out all of your messages and distribute them on campus. Wow, you were dating a real psychopath weren't you? Most ex-boyfriends are not this pathological, however, if he does somehow have your password and you do break up, just change it. Duh. And remember to change the passwords to all your other accounts – email, iChat, etc. – because chances are he knows those too. Just sayin'.
- Your Facebook profile photo shouldn't have your boyfriend in it. Allison says this sends the message – To him? To the universe? — that you believe him to be "one half of your whole" and dudes just aren't into that. I don't think Facebook photos send that deep of a message, because if they do, mine is telling the universe that I am a huge wino. Oh. Wait.
Just kidding. It's your Facebook profile photo and most normal people like to use photos where they think they look super cute or funny or hawt – if the photo that does that happens to have your man in it too, so be it.
ALTERNATIVE TIP: If you really want to make sure that he doesn't leap to the conclusion that the photo of the two of you together indicates you, ICK, like him, you should make sure that he looks like crap in it and that you look WAY better. That'll show him!
