Fantastic work Nic. Amazing versatility and skill at play here. Each panel offers something fresh and interesting which is very rare in comics today. Outside of Bill Sienkiewicz, I've never seen so many different styles work together in such a cohesive fashion.
Looking forward to getting my hands on the book!

[Barbara Haddock Taylor, The Baltimore Sun]
Baltimore's ancient small streets and hidden thoroughfares offer plenty of antique charm, and one in Upper Fells Point just became even more colorful. This is no ordinary passage. It's a classic one-lane rowhouse street, not wide enough for parking on either side. The 200 block of S. Durham St. is also the place where a young Billie Holiday lived as a child in the 1920s.
I'd heard about a neighborhood-based arts project that was happening there from Steve Schwei, a five-year resident of the block who is also an information technology project manager. For more than two years, he's been working on a way to treat the street as an homage to the legendary blues and jazz singer, who died in 1959.
Recently completed, this community arts project achieves its aims. Rarely have I seen a collection of murals, painted screens and mosaics that fit together so well. They celebrate Holiday, who lived at 219 S. Durham, and they add the right exclamation point to this venerable byway.
I walked along Durham, between Pratt and Gough streets, and was surprised at the unexpected ways the artists incorporated a rain spout (it becomes a microphone), windows, doors and other parts of houses into this colorful little urban canvas. It's like a gallery with rowhouses as art objects. The painted screens trick your eye and make you smile.
"Five years ago, I had heard of Billie Holiday but I didn't know much about her. I didn't know her music," said Schwei. "I saw the project as an opportunity, a way to do something for the artists and for Billie's memory."
He began modestly. He thought about getting local artists to paint screens in Billie Holiday themes. He said that residents heard about a grant offered through the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts. They thought bigger and won a $30,000 PNC Bank Transformative Art Grant for 2013.
I spoke with Bridget Cimino, a mural artist who created the larger works. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art who lives near Mount Washington, she created visions of Billie Holiday rising out of the 1940s Baltimore skyline. This is a proud and triumphant vision.
I asked Cimino about her past mural work. She was part of the team that restored the murals in the Senator Theatre in Belvedere Square and at the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast Washington, which she considers some of her main efforts.
Cimino also created a large depiction (on the back wall of the Fells Point Corner Theater that faces Durham Street) of Holiday signing autographs for children outside Pennsylvania Avenue's Royal Theatre.
As a motif along the block, there are large painted gardenias, the fragrant flower Holiday wore tucked into her hair.
"A key goal of the project was to transform the block, which recently had as many as eight vacant houses on a street of 50 or so structures," Schwei said. "The surrounding area has gentrified to some extent, but this street appeared to be neglected."
He said that nearly 100 volunteers — and the artists who were paid for their works — gave Durham Street a fresh, colorful, inventive look. It might even become a tourist attraction.
"The block is already showing signs of a turnaround," he said. "Our team is also working with the city to repave the street partially using Belgian blocks, similar to large cobblestones, which will provide the feel of a time long ago."
The neighborhood is planning a musical street festival April 5 (with, of course, a Billie Holiday tribute singer) to show off what has been accomplished.

So this is it, folks. You guys have bravely stuck with me, while not even B/M watch the thing anymore. I would like to think they read the recaps, however, but I'm not sure they know how to read. And at the risk of sounding like I'm dropping names, it seems fitting that in three hours I'm meeting Msaada for coffee. It's been a year, and I still miss that season more than you can imagine. What I wouldn't give for a little Theo right now...okay, that didn't come out right. Oh, and I thought of a few other things more emotionally affecting than this final episode: stubbing a toe. The restaurant being out of pie. Having to do laundry. "Closing Time" by Semisonic. Someone you don't know and never have even heard of having a bad day somewhere. Toast.
So the kids have just finished their boot-camp thing and they're driving through the mud, joking around, and Steve is camera-talking that they're camping in these two big 'ol tents for the night before continuing the next part of their mission. They're preparing for an "evacuation" flight from their fake country of Snackland (or so the captions tell me it's called, and it sounds like a really cool place to be) back to McGuire Air Force base. As the kids fuck around and hang up clothes, Steve floats that he was raised on bases and did the whole moving-around-constantly thing, and as Sophia tries to hug and kiss him, Steve goes on to say that the end of this thing won't affect him as much as it will the others because he's used to leaving people. In other words, he's trying to prepare for us to not think he's a asshole when he doesn't cry because everyone sucks and he's glad to leave them. This Army-brat thing is a cover. As the others frolic and kiss and hug in the background, Steve lies on the cot, continuing to float about not being too sad and hopes and dreams and closing chapters and clearing his throat, since the lies are getting caught back there.
Now in the background, Adam hits Ellen in the face with a plate or something and she screams and laughs and Steve stops camera-talking and says, "That's the most disgusting relationship I've ever seen by man. Seriously. Ugh! It makes me puke. Ugh! It's not even a relationship. It's, 'I make fun of you and then you have sex with me. I'm going to demean you as much as possible in public...and then you give me oral sex.' How does that work?" Quite nicely, if you're Adam. Now The Disco Music of Some B/M Editor Missing Queer As Folk A Little Too Much starts as Adam pushes Ellen into the mud outside. She screams, loving it. He has her down in the mud and he's actually rubbing mud on her face and making "spa" jokes and she says, "Dude, you know you're going to be licking this off later," and just maybe Adam is putting mud places we can't see it, in that case. Adam says, "I only do this because I love you." The sight of a shirtless man wearing camouflage pants pushing a girl down in mud and saying "I only do this because I love you" makes me think I'm watching COPS or a Judith Light TV movie, not Road Rules. Now everyone hugs in the tent and switches off and then there's a big group hug.

Even though the administration of President Obama has championed "change" as its hallmark, many of its domestic policy and funding programs reflect more a "continuation" of the big spending ways of his predecessor. However, in the area of drug control policy, early signs are that Obama is serious about charting a new course — and a better one.
Barely moved into his office in the nation's capitol, Gil Kerlikowske, the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, more commonly known as the office of the "drug czar," signaled a bold change in direction and emphasis in the federal government's long-running anti-drug program. In one of his first public statements, Kerlikowske officially jettisoned the term "War on Drugs" to describe the federal effort to combat mind-altering drugs. The short-hand nomenclature had been in common usage since 1971, when then-President Nixon first attached the term to the national anti-drug program.
Kerlikowske's law enforcement career began in Florida in the second year of the "war" he now plans to alter and took him to police chief in Seattle in 2001, where he stayed until being sworn in as drug czar. Despite his strong law enforcement credentials, Kerlikowske will not have an easy job of shifting the direction of the massive and costly anti-drug effort directed from Washington. For four decades, the primary focus of the federal anti-drug effort has been enforcement, interdiction and incarceration as opposed to demand reduction, prevention and treatment.
The figures on the allocation of the nearly $15 billion dedicated directly to the federal anti-drug effort in the current 2009 fiscal year illustrate the magnitude of the task facing Kerlikowske. Fully two-thirds of that amount is consumed by enforcement, interdiction and international activities; only one-third goes toward treatment and prevention. Obama's preliminary requests for the 2010 budget barely change those ratios.
Still, the signal Kerlikowske is sending in the deceptively simple vocabulary shift away from the war rhetoric is important. Although his agency has no enforcement power, it helps set the president's "policies, priorities and objectives" in this arena. If Kerlikowske is in fact reflecting Obama's priorities, and, more importantly, if the president is willing to back him up, then true change may indeed be in the offing for the government's drug program, and change is long overdue.
Regardless of whether one is a "drug warrior" or a "drug legalizer," it is difficult if not impossible to defend the 38-year war on drugs as a success. Illicit drugs are every bit as easy to score on America's streets and in her schools now as they were more than three decades ago. Last year, just under 84 percent of 12th-graders considered that marijuana was "very easy" or "fairly easy" to obtain; virtually the same as in a 1975 survey.
America's prisons continue to burst at the seams with drug offenders, who are serving longer and longer sentences (thanks in part to mandatory sentence terms which came into vogue in the 1980s). While the country's population was increasing by 46 percent from 1970 to 2007, our prison population exploded by 547 percent. The lion's share of that huge increase is the result of drug and drug-related arrests, which soared by a factor of 14 from 1968 to 2007. The direct cost to America's taxpayers of housing this prison population is staggering, with the Bureau of Prisons' budget mushrooming more than 740 percent since 1971, to more than $5.5 billion.
More important than the monetary cost of this multidecade effort, however, is the human cost. If Obama and Kerlikowske are indeed serious about refocusing not only rhetoric but action toward demand reduction (and focusing the enforcement effort on violent criminal activities), then the years ahead might actually witness some true successes in keeping our nation's youth off mind-altering drugs.

I just hope that ending the war on drugs is not a power-grab by the administration. Call me crazy, but I can see this president calling for the care of all drug addicts. If they can't tke care of themselves, who else but the federal government could help them out. I am in favor of ending this war, I just hope it's not one less government program in exchange for 2 more.

We no longer need this war (read Job Program) since we have a newer, much more expensive one, the Job Program on Terror. The Job Program on Climate Change is also ramping up nicely.
Just curious though, how many families have been destroyed by this phony war?
May 25th, 2009

I agree. Our justifying much of what is done as a 'war' on the front lines is only bolstering power of the underground thugs successful at bribery and other corruption. The problem is not going away, only getting worse. On the back end, too many non-violent 'criminals' being pursued and incarcerated in a pseudo rehab and public housing front. We need to address the problem in the light of day, regulate and tax massively on the consumer end and regulate the distribution. I don't want my kids being solicited by back of the school yard pushers – I saw this 25 years ago and I hear about it today. I agree with Jon, this needs to be done carefully so we don't end up with a flood of additional government assistance.

a "continuation" of the big spending ways of his predecessor?
Nah, no one can top Obumer when it comes to bigger spending than has ever before happened in the history of this country, from George W the first to hopefully George W the last. Obumer will go down in the pages of history as having spent more money than of all the Presidents' combined including Jimmy Carter and oh yeah George the last W.
No doubt Obumer and Company is on a power grab, one that leaves even Dick Cheney in a state of shock and awe.
Onto drugs, a Libertarian dream plank: America can handle drugs Bob Barr! Man has America ever handled drugs. Like no other nation on this earth we American have handled drugs. To my good liberal-tarian one toke over the line friends, a better sale promotion that does justice to the truth and advertising clause would be, "America can mishandle Drugs".
America really does not have a drug problem in all honesty. We have the best drugs and the most drugs of any country. It's more the addiction problem we can't deal with and the acceptance thereof.
When as much emphasis is put on making drug use, especially the illegal drug use SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE, as has been placed on cigarette smoking, then and only then, will the tides turn on addressing the drug addiction issue. Just saying no really does not work to reduce consumption of drugs; neither will legalization, nor will alternatives to present drug treatment programs produce more than minimal results. Like it or not, admit it or not, as most of us don't and won't, negative peer pressure does work were other social remedies fail – Et al the campaign against tobacco use.
However, don't look for focusing the enforcement effort on violent criminal activities. Obumer and Company has all but wilted on the vine in that area and America has only become less safe because of that miserable failure as a matter of nation security. In fact, Obumer and company again, even more so than his predecessors, has become the "Great Enabler n' Chief" of enhanced violent drug criminal activities via a call for the renewal of the failed AWB (despite the debunking of the 90% claim), a failure to secure our nation's border with Mexico as it is known from where, in very point of fact, the transporting of 80% of all illegal drugs that enter this country originates;
and a failure to enforce the immigration laws of this country against an illegal alien population that provides cover and camouflage for violent drug dealing narco-terrorists activities to continue through a network of street gangs established in well over 200 American cities as reported.

First off, hats off to Bob Barr; I only wish more in the public arena had the courage to speak out against this hopelessly failed 40 year "war on drugs"…
Perhaps lost in the flurry of political rhetoric flying around these comments, is the simple realization that once we end this futile, costly, & self-destructive "war on drugs", or more accurately, "Prohibition Pt.2″, many other current challenges & circumstances will also be altered.
The border with Mexico does serve as the primary conduit of illegal drugs, it will never, even with the US Army on our borders, be stopped. As a drug cartel member told CNN recently, "as long as there is the huge profit in drugs", they'll keep on coming. Whether it's boats, planes, tunnels, or simply paying off a local sheriff, they'll come, and along with the drugs, the violent, murderous gangs who profit from them.
I'd suggest people do two things to really get the real picture:
1. Spend even a little time reading up on the history of the first attempt at Prohibition, see how it only exacerbated the problems it attempted to solve, created the rise of violent, powerful criminal gangs, & in many ways, so damaged society that even those who supported it, wanted it to end.
2. Go to the website: http://www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com
This organization, LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition), made up of many present & former local, county, & state cops, federal agents, local, state & federal DAs, as well as judges, politicians, & commentators & think tanks from ALL sides of the political spectrum, offers a wealth of information & reasoned arguments on this issue. Obviously, these are veterans from the front lines of this 40 year "war", and their credibility should not be overlooked, and the fact that most of them are not drug-users as well, speaks to the lack of subjective agenda involved in their viewpoints…
If we took the illegal drug trade off the table, it would immediately dry up the funding all these criminal gangs have thrived on, as well as save (& even bring in) billions of dollars & allow thousands of law enforcement officers to turn their attention to cracking down on violent criminals, instead of drug-users & nickel-&-dime street dealers…..

Jon, the greatest power grab and threat to our freedom in the history of this country was perpetrated by the Bush administration when they created the Department of Homeland Security. That kind of centralized control of so many functions allows for the appointment of one political lackey willing to do the will of the administration in power. THe Department of Homeland Security is nothing more than a homegrown gestapo poised to unleash it's full power against us. We are their enemy. In their minds we are all "terrorists".
May 25th, 2009
2:04 pm
It is said that the two groups who were most adament about not ending prohibition were the bootleggers and the cops.
ANYTIME you prohibit a product, whether it is booze, drugs, guns, or whatever, you create a profit motive and there will be someone who will fill that demand. In layman's terms, congratulations, you just created a black market.
It's really that simple.
May 25th, 2009
2:34 pm
The drugs will never stop coming across the border so as long as "the corruption" in our government remains in place that profits from the illegal drug trade. Make no doubt the U.S. border with Mexico can be secured if the will to do it existed without the corruption that prevents it and assures that it will never happen.
The high tone rhetoric that says the legalization and taxation of drugs will solve the all problems related to illegal drugs has the empirical facts of history weighing heavily against that argument – Et al the problems related to and associated with, Alcohol and Tobacco legalization and taxation in this country. And, the cops are still dealing with nickel & dime street drunks killing people that say they can hold their liqueur and handle their drug, alcohol.
Americans can definitely handle drugs but they will never be responsible enough to handle their addictions. Until we Americans can handle our addictions to what are now illegal drugs I will remain ardently against legalization and never laud anyone for supporting such actions.
May 25th, 2009
2:50 pm
The greatest power grab and threat to our freedom in the history of this country was perpetrated by the Bush administration "when they" created the Department of Homeland Security?
Whoa! Lets do a little fact checking on that claim. If memory serves correctly the Democrats wanted DHS created. Correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe that is the case in fact. Though your assessment of the appointment of one political lackey, as fits the current head of DHS, I would be totally in agreement.

Imagine your neighbor has a huge hornets nest in a tree right next to your yard. Your kids get stung by the hornets everytime they go outside. You ask the neighbor to knock down the nest and kill all the hornets and they refuse. You have 2 choices. Let your kids get stung, try to swat and kill each hornet as you see them, treat the stings and repeat each time they go outside OR go over to your neighbor's yard, without permission, and knock down the nest and kill all the hornets. Easy choice right. Apply this to the drugs flying over the border and stinging our kids. Kill the source and you stop the drugs.

Michael the facts of drug decriminalization show conclusively (see Holland, Canada, & recently Portugal: http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Portugals_drug_decriminalization_bizarrely_underappreciated_Greenwald_0406.html) that it leads to far less problems. And what problems we have with alcohol today are still way less than had Prohibition been allowed to remain in place for nearly a hundred years!
Larry, your analogy doesn't quite work so well. The "source" is not in one place, and the means of moving shipments into the US are far too numerous to adequately rein in. For one, pot grows about anywhere, including indoors, and we have not only the Mexican border, but a few thousand miles of border with Canada, as well as thousands of miles of coastlines. If our forces in Iraq have not even been able to stop the flow of infiltrators coming from Iran & Syria, how can we ever expect to halt all flow of anything?
As for Americans not being able to handle our drugs, well, we don't handle our guns very well either, but there's no call to make them illegal, "guns don't kill people, people do", and just as true, "drugs don't kill people, people do". So, will America ever become consistent with it's beliefs, or will we always employ double standards & condone hypocrisy, due to emotional reactions, or our personal feelings?
May 25th, 2009
9:00 pm
Good luck on clearing away the commonly shared world wide hypocrisy of humanity and America is not Holland which now regrets having legalized street drugs, among other things. So I'm not buying the argument on how successful Holland has been with drug legalization and the liberalizing of social standards. America is about as consistent as any nation with its' beliefs, double standards & condoning of hypocrisies due to emotions, personal disposition or whatever else. America bashing gets nothing from me but disdain. But, Holland is one place that does make taxation in America look beautiful in comparison.
As for pot growing: The U.S. is one of the best places in the world to grow Hemp, actually better than Mexico. Prior to WWII the Hemp Industry in this country was a major player and even during the war Hemp was the source of many needed items that supported the winning war effort. If not for the THC found in Hemp it would be still grown in the U.S. for the many other benefits and products the Hemp plant can provide.
Guns don't kill people, people do, is true but guns will never be able to alter a person's mind or physically control the body of an individual like drugs do and that is why guns remain legal. As for the legal OTC drugs alcohol and tobacco there are no good arguments other than it usually takes them longer to kill and deliver the negative social effects as opposed to most illegal street drugs; even though eventual because they too are addictive the end results can be about the same. So why would anyone rationalize saying give us more of the things that addict us and eventually can kill us when the two legal OTC drugs we have in America is more than bad enough to deal with absent a 100% sure-fire cure for the addictions to them?
Take it for what it is worth Steve, you'll not see illegal street drugs legalized on a national basis in this country, ever again. Based solely on the empirical evidence of the history of drugs and drug abuse in this country.

Drugs like opium (heroin) and cocaine were legal in this country prior to the twentieth century. They were even an ingredient in that venerable local beverage that I won't name. The drugs were legal, used often but created a culture of self destruction that society deemed unacceptable. Ultimately the opium dens were closed and cocaine use made illegal.
So make your arguments about legalizing drugs but they'll fall on (my) deaf ears. We've been there and done that. What we need is a very public campaign that reveals the murders, kidnappings and gang violence CAUSED BY drug users. Casual snorters, tokers and similar vermin. They are all part of the conspiracy and they need to know it. Don't talk to me about how you're helping society by volunteering for 'Habitat for Humanity' and then degrade all societies by using.
Communities require sacrifice and this is where the "rubber meets the road."

I just wonder where Bob Barr's sudden revelation came from – his stance on the Drug War was one of the reasons the Libertarian party worked so hard to defeat him in his last bid for re-election. HMMM, he's no longer in office, and suddenly he realizes the Drug War is contrary to the Constitution????

Erik, (counter-hint) it's not just teenagers who don't need to self-destruct. Requiring an ID to use just limits the age when you get to use. Even then, what's to keep people from continuing to supply teenagers illegally?

i dont understand why the government doesnt, subversively, introduce a line of drugs into the marketplace that make people really, really sick or cause hormonal imbalances. just think, if you were a teenager, would you take a drug that may make your "you know what" shrink?

as clarification to my earlier post, i meant to introduce a line into the current drugs, i.e. taint the current drugs in the market.

So much of this is untrue, it's hard to know where to start. In the states, the vast majority of people convicted for felony drug possession (not trafficking) do not go to prison. Those that do almost universally have other charges or recidivist records. For simple possession, the justice system already operates almost exclusively as a diversion/treatment program, for better or worse — often worse, and often at the expense of neighborhoods that are forced to house repeat offenders who get out of jail on burglary and car theft charges because they say they are addicts in court. I'm sure Barr's neighborhood is not under assault because of this policy, but others are. To demand that the courts become what they already are is disingenuous. Those drug offenders who end up serving time are almost universally traffickers and recidivist, dangerous armed felons — is this who you want to let free? The federal system is similarly selective, though the sentencing is more strict.
Just because somebody is in possession of drugs doesn't mean that that is the only reason they are being prosecuted. They hysteria over our prisons being stuffed with non-violent pot smokers is just that: hysteria. And if you actually look at arrests and prosecutions, you will see that it takes a lot more than a possession charge — or a DUI — or ten of either — to end up in prison.

I agree with Mr. Barr. (There is something I would never have thought I'd write 10 years ago)
The arbitrary lines that we have drawn as to whats illegal and whats not has confused Americans. More people are becoming hooked on legal drugs than ever. Especially prescription opiates. This is because people tend to think of them as socially more acceptable. If there was no illegal/legal line but rather differing lines of regulatory influence, this would negate that perception.
Further, pfizer and Merck, as imperfect as they may be have never hit innocent bystanders with bullets over a turf war like the current bunch of suppliers we have of these drugs.

"Drugs like opium (heroin) and cocaine were legal in this country prior to the twentieth century."
Drugs like heroin are legal NOW. Its called Oxycotin and its every where.
The legality/illegality of drugs seems to have little effect on the availability of those drugs.
You can get just about any drug you want today, whether its legal or illegal. The only difference is who you have to deal with. You can either deal with a shady doctor who is not likely to shoot you, or a street thug who might. So legality and illegality only make it more or less dangerous to aquire what you want. It certainly doesn't prohibit you from getting whatever you desire.

All of you are just talk! Just like Barr! If you make the illegal drug penalties costly and confine those who break the laws, there would be less use.
You complain about over crowded jails or such but high penalties would pay for itself in the long term. However, if we catch Mr Barr's grandchildren doing cocaine they do not get a "get out of jail pass". My research shows that it is the higher income families who are using these drugs with the lower income families using marijuana.
So do not blame any administration but rather groups like the ACLU who wants everyone high, naked, and having sex with eachother.

"My research shows that it is the higher income families who are using these drugs with the lower income families using marijuana. "
You ever hear of meth? Crack?
And we have tried and tried to make the penalties tougher to lessen use. It hasn't worked. Prohibition has failed. They have been fighting this war a long time. In fact, Nixon coined the term war on drugs. We have spent a lot of money on it. Yet, you can still get anything you want any time you want.

Looks like California, the most liberal state in the union, is against gay buttsex marriage. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwe. TOO BAD!
California high court upholds gay marriage ban
SAN FRANCISCO – The California Supreme Court upheld a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage Tuesday, but it also decided that the estimated 18,000 gay couples who tied the knot before the law took effect will stay wed.
The 6-1 decision written by Chief Justice Ron George rejected an argument by gay rights activists that the ban revised the California constitution's equal protection clause to such a dramatic degree that it first needed the Legislature's approval.
The court said the people have a right, through the ballot box, to change their constitution.
"In a sense, petitioners' and the attorney general's complaint is that it is just too easy to amend the California constitution through the initiative process. But it is not a proper function of this court to curtail that process; we are constitutionally bound to uphold it," the ruling said.
The announcement of the decision set off an outcry among a sea of demonstrators who had gathered in front of the San Francisco courthouse awaiting the ruling. Holding signs and many waving rainbow flags, they chanted "shame on you." Many people also held hands in a chain around an intersection in an act of protest.
Gay rights activists immediately promised to resume their fight, saying they would go back to voters as early as next year in a bid to repeal Proposition 8.
The split decision provided some relief for the 18,000 gay couples who married in the brief time same-sex marriage was legal last year but that wasn't enough to dull the anger over the ruling that banned gay marriage.
"It's not about whether we get to stay married. Our fight is far from over," said Jeannie Rizzo, 62, who was one of the lead plaintiffs along with her wife, Polly Cooper. "I have about 20 years left on this earth, and I'm going to continue to fight for equality every day."
The state Supreme Court had ruled last May that it was unconstitutional to deny gay couples the right to wed. Many same-sex couples had rushed to get married before the November vote on Proposition 8, fearing it could be passed. When it was, gay rights activists went back to the court arguing that the ban was improperly put to voters.
That was the issue justices decided Tuesday.
"After comparing this initiative measure to the many other constitutional changes that have been reviewed and evaluated in numerous prior decisions of this court, we conclude Proposition 8 constitutes a constitutional amendment rather than a constitutional revision," the ruling said.

The goverment tends to attach the word "war" on to anything it wants American citizens to help support. The "war" on drugs has failed miserably… To the extent that it is, in some cases, ruining lives and family structures. A lot of it is political and some of it is good-hearted, but all of it is whack. We, as a country, have a bad habit of putting band-aids on problems instead of trying to fix them and it does nothing but dig whichever hold we are digging that much deeper. Because of mandatory sentences, some people are going to jail after getting busted with Marijuana for much longer than some kidnappers and sexual offenders. No lie, I got busted for pot about 10 years ago and went to court at the same time as this lady who let her father molest her daughter and took pictures of it. I spent a year in jail and got 5 years probation. The lady didn't spend any time in jail and got 5 years probation. You tell me which crime is worse. We, as a country, were founded on the idea that you, as a sovereign person, could do whatever you wanted as long as it didn't encroach on the next persons rights. If I sit at the house and smoke a joint, it affects no one else so why should you be able to tell me not to do it?
15 billion dollars a year is a lot of money… How about we spend that money to try and change our status as one of the stupidest developed countries in the world? It's like here in GA, we are one of the last states in the nation in educatuion, yet Sonny Perdue would rather cut education funding than allow stores to sell alcohol on Sunday and put that extra revenue towards making our children smarter. Sorry Sonny, but your conservative Christian agenda may not be mine. Didn't we come to this country to get away from religious people trying to tell us what we could or couldn't do? Didn't we want to be able to decide for ourselves?
So, let's quit covering up the problems and start fixing them… And lets start with the war on drugs. I don't know about you, Mr. John Q. Taxpayer, but $15 billion a year of our money being wasted on a program that has made no progress in 30 something years is a problem we should fix.
Let's start making this country work for us instead of letting the self-serving politicians in Washington make all of the rules.

To say that terrorists have an ally in Obama is ignorant, unpatriotic and just childish. You have no basis whatsoever for that statement, unless you are just a racist person who like to stereotype by people's names. I have a german last name, it doesn't make me a Nazi.

Che, you have a lot more in common with the tenets of national socialism than you might want to believe. You lack the understanding to accept that others might wish for freedoms different from those you desire. You lack the maturity to recognize that allowing others the freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, even if their pursuit is offensive to you, actually liberates yourself. By placing restrictions on the rights of others you merely make it a matter of time before they turn their attention to what you hold dear. Your zeal isn't for freedom. Your passion isn't for liberty. You only want to be right and you want the power to see that your version of "right" is one that prevails over the rights of others. That's a small and petty way to live a life. So, I pity you Che.. I pity you because your arrogance is a symptom of what's wrong with our nation. You're part of the sickness, not the cure.
Now for something on-topic. Prohibition in this nation has always failed. It failed with booze, it fails with drugs, it fails with guns and it will continue to fail. By making something illicit, you only succeed in ensuring that a black market will grow up around it. Where ever there is a demand, there is a supplier, be it drugs, guns, hookers or abortions. The best we can hope to do is to regulate and cross our fingers. Portugal recently began regulating its drug problem and has seen fantastically positive results. The Netherlands tends to regulate almost everything and they have very little crime. By eliminating illicit demand, you cut the suppliers out of the occasion. If you could provide a regulated resource for things people wanted, pot, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates.. you could control the supply with both production and quality. You could make it cheaper, so that drugs like meth and crack disappeared because legal access to quality regulated products could be maintained. It might not be the safest route and we'll still have addicts, but that's the beauty of choice.. they can't all be winners.

More proof that President Hussein has no idea what he's doing.
Analysis: US looking for Russians, Chinese to lead
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has tough words for North Korea, but it's looking to China and Russia to do the heavy lifting to punish Pyongyang for its latest nuclear explosion.
Whether China is willing to pull away from its traditional ally is an open question given fears of raging instability that might erupt on their common border.
North Korea may have overplayed its attention-getting hand with its test of a nuclear weapon one day and the launch of offensive missiles the next. Or it may be moving its nuclear brinksmanship to a higher and more opaque level.
In either case, the Obama administration's reaction has been measured. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, said department spokesman Ian Kelly, had been in touch with her Russian counterpart to press for "a quick, unified response to North Korea's provocative action."
Russia, once a key backer of North Korea, condemned the test. Moscow's U.N. ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, also the Security Council president, said the 15-member body would begin work "quickly" on a new resolution.
China said it "resolutely opposed" North Korea's test and urged Pyongyang to return to talks on ending its atomic programs.
While Russian objections to North Korean behavior were swift, direct and important symbolically, China holds the key.
Cross-border commerce and aid from China keep North Korea afloat economically. China is North Korea's biggest source of food imports, fuel aid and diplomatic support. Many of North Korea's international connections — from air transport to financial links — are also routed through China or Chinese-controlled territories.
But dramatically shaving its largesse, Beijing is believed to fear, could lead to nightmarish scenarios. One would see regime collapse and a breakdown of North Korea's million-man army, with members of the military armed with AK-47s roaming the Chinese countryside as bandits.
Complicating the multidimensional chess game, key U.S. allies in Asia — South Korea and Japan — see a fully fledged nuclear North Korea as an existential threat, in much the same way Israel views a nuclear-armed Iran in the Middle East.
North Korea's nuclear test forced the Pentagon to scrap much of its planning for a Saturday meeting in Singapore with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and his Japanese and South Korean counterparts.
"Undoubtedly, the developments in North Korea over the weekend will be a focus of that conversation," Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell told reporters.
Morrell said it was believed that the meeting would be the first discussion among the three nations' defense chiefs.
Regional analogies are ofttimes wanting, but in this case it would seem to hold, given that Iran's missile program is believed to be dependent on North Korea.
"There are those who say that whenever Iran conducts a missile test (as it did recently), the results benefit North Korea and vice versa," said John Park of the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Those who watch North Korea broadly agree that the country's latest bout of saber-rattling, which started with a long-range missile test in April, grows from an ongoing leadership transition as factions jockey for position to take power from the ailing Kim Jong Il.
While Obama came to office offering to talk with the North Koreans about their nuclear program, the only answer has been belligerence — in the form of missile and nuclear tests. That would seem to make it clear that, at this point, Pyongyang does not feel the United States has anything to offer.
China does and North Korea, one of the most heavily sanctioned and isolated nations on the globe, knows it.
"The North must feel now that they have overplayed their hand, given the reaction of the Russians and Chinese," said Ved Nanda, a professor at the University of Denver.
But it is far from certain the Chinese will match their recent condemnation of the North with a decision to order a punishing curtailment of assistance.
To Park, the signs are China is "really taking a longer term view as a hedge against whomever emerges" to lead North Korea after Kim. "That way they really can avoid those things they really don't want to think about," he said, such as a collapse of the Pyongyang regime and the chaos that might entail — not to mention the possibility of a major shift in the regional balance of power.
While North Korea has made itself an even more difficult friend for China, the U.S. has few incentives that would make it more appetizing for Beijing to open a public rift with one of world's few remaining communist regimes, one that could create immeasurable problems inside China itself.

JoshLovesPot, capitalism is what gives us freedom. It has gotten poor people out of poverty. IT's made us the richest nation on Earth. And no, Pothead, corporations don't control the US. If that were true they would not be shipping jobs overseas leaving Americans jobless. Lay off the weed, Cheech. Grow up and regain some much needed brain cells.

Jimbo you hit a good number of nails on the head, prohibition doesn't work. Yet, neither does legal regulation work very well in truth. Even to this day bootleggers are still making moonshine to capitalize on tax evasion. So the idea that make it legal and tax it will kill a black market simply doesn't stand up as valid. There are no absolutes to any of this and absolutely no one answer or sole solution can best manage drug use legal and illegal or to end drug abuse and addiction. A little here, a little there, a hope and a prayer maybe throw in a lucky rabbits foot if you got one to spare, cause this is a problem we shall all share for a very long time Jimbo.

Che, your use of insulting name-calling proves what age level you are thinking at. I refrained from calling you anything, but you decided to retort with name-calling. You must be a republican.
And yes, Capitalism may have made us one of the richest nations in the world, but it has also been one of the factors that has made us one of the dumbest and fattest nations. And yes, big business does control this country. You can lie to yourself all you want and say that it doesn't, but it does. When there are 60 lobbyists for every representative and congressman in Washington, and billions of dollars are spent each year by big corporations to change or keep existing laws, that means that those people are controling the democratic process. You can argue all you want, but the facts speak for themselves.

i wish there was a low budget contest for normal apts too.
Great idea for a contest, I love it! I always thought it was so interesting to visit other dorm rooms at my school and see what had been done with the same exact jailhouse space as mine.
Especially now that dorm furnishings are so much more stylish. I went in '91 when flip 'n f---s and papasans were still hot. You couldn't buy a patterned melamine dish then.
Meg -I feel the same way BUT I did manage to get 2nd in the small cool contest and I swear, everything in my apartment aside from clothes and things comes to under $2000.
I second that! Great idea for a contest.
Make sure they are dorm rooms though and not apartments. It seems like colleges are foregoing traditional dorm rooms and building apartment complexes to be used as dorms.
This could be really cool. I'll bet there will be a diverse range of styles represented. I'm looking forward to seeing an elevated sleeping loft setup that I rocked in the early 90's. "You're twistin' my melon man!"
Laura, you're an inspiration! :-)
and yeah, there's a blurry line... dorms are a "single room in which you live and work" or "room in which you live" "sleep", what if it is a small apt with a kitchen (some dorms don't have kitchens other than per building, some have one per 3 bedrooms).
Not that those things make a crucial difference, just something to consider.
What a fantastic idea! I'm moving back to university in september - lookin forward to some inspiration!
This is a great idea! I hope you focus on temporary solutions like how to attach things to walls without nails/damage, how to get good lighting without overhead lighting and how to make walls look less nasty-white.
I'd do it, but I'm going to be in an apartment, buying a lot of IKEA and live in MN. I'm about as ineligible as a student can get.
By the way: I hope how to hang fabric from walls (like wallpaper, but not permanent) is addressed sometime, anywhere on AT. I'd love to know.
Great idea for a contest! Now what I wonder if this contest is limited? Are there many dorm complexes in NYC? Alot of campuses these days are indeed using "apartment" type housing for their students these days or perhaps students who come here to school end up just getting apartments with roommates. Those who live in NY (CUNY) and go to a NYC usually just live at home. I could be wrong though and just assuming.
Just curious as I have already graduated.
I need to really proof read .. what I meant is that most NYC schools are opting for apartment type housing complexes and those NY students who go to school in NYC usually end up living home.
Eddie, you can hang fabric wallpaper-style very inexpensively using fabric starch. I've never tried it but supposedly it's easy to remove and doesn't cause any permanent damage:
The number of entries that'll be run is fewer than 30, if I'm reading the rules aright, so a city the size of NY could have very, very few dorms per capita and still come up with sufficient dorms to fill the roster.
The entries will get their analysis on smallcool.blogspot.com when the time comes... I'm thinking it's a useful pilot for what trends to count when Fall Colors happens.
This competition needs to happen for those of us not living in a dorm. With the same guidelines:
"We want to see who has the skill, the brains and the courage to overcome small spaces and small budgets. We're not looking for neat little IKEA creations, we want originality, style and - if you can swing it - vintage chic. "
• You must include at least 3 pieces of vintage/thrift furniture
I would love for this to happen!
The requirement that the dorm contains at least 3 pieces of vintage/thrift furniture seems unreasonable, considering dorm rooms already come with furniture and there isn't much space to introduce new pieces or stow the furniture provided.
Then again, is the standard-issue ugly dorm bed that's been used by 30 students before you considered "thrift"?
I loved when I lived in a dorm with undergrads in grad school...all my cheap stupid decorating looked great then! But, I'm sure the people entering this contest will blow my "design" out of the water...I've seen some pretty good ones in small cool in the past. Great idea!
i live in a live/work studio <200 sq ft and i share a kitchen and two bathrooms with 16 other people. does this mean i qualify, although my building is not run by my school's campus? or does this mean i have to wait until next year's smallest/coolest?
engineergirl, i was about to respond to that "3 vintage pieces of furniture" statement. it's ridiculous! i had a 10x10 cinder block dorm room, and could hardly fit my mini-fridge in there (at last it fit, but i still couldn't open it all the way). my room came with a desk, bed, dresser, and hanging bookshelf, and all that i replaced was a bed. when i added a larger, comfier chair to replace the one provided, that pretty much locked up all of the floor space. if i wanted to add any more furniture, it'd have to be on stilts above my bed or desk or something.
i think the rules should only be to require inclusion of "vintage elements" rather than a set number of furniture items. also, one can make furniture out of materials (vintage or otherwise) that weren't even furniture to begin with, which would show even more ingenuity!
ha, i guess i replaced a chair, too. but whatever. the point is: dorm living is rough!
i remember this smallcool very fondly:
biskinikill: I guess there are ways around it-- one of my friends in college had this crazy idea to build a king-sized bunk bed (why, I don't know, but he actually was able to do it), and I think he hauled the standard-issue dorm beds back to his parents' house to store for the year. But I'm guessing most students in NYC don't have that option.
And I don't know about other students, but when I was in college I sure as hell didn't have time to be perusing little shops and yard sales for vintage furniture. The doesn't mean my dorm room was devoid of style, though.
Ditto engineergirl (I'm an engineer girl too!) and biskinikill - I was fortunate enough to live in dorms that were really quite lovely, by communal living standards, at a character-heavy campus upstate...but nobody was bringing extra furniture into rooms that were very much scaled and stocked for efficiency. A criterion for thrifted "accessories" or something would be so much more dorm-scaled.
(Incidentally, would a third-hand thermodynamics text count as vintage decor? It was such a pretty yellow color, doubled as a step stool, door stop, tv tray, throw pillow...)
Late to the discussion, but we weren't *allowed* to remove the furniture. Then again, the same stuff was there when my mom lived in the same building in 1969--thirty years before I first showed up. Would that have counted?
Oh, and Mella DP...I think so! I could have hit three vintage items only if you counted my rug, painting, and an ancient copy of Grey's Anatomy (most helpful for reaching the above-closet storage).
Yeah, when I was living in dorms in NYC, the university had a policy prohibiting removal of furniture as well. As far as adding furniture, well: the average single-occupant dorm room was barely over 100 sq ft. Factor in a bed and desk, I never had room for more than an extra chair.
So I hope they'll allow vintage elements (like the suitcase in the picture). I suppose the requirement comes from the co-sponsor (Housing Works).
And add me to the list of people eager for a low-budget apartment contest.
I don't think the NYC range limit is unreasonable! In addition to NYU, you've got Barnard, Columbia, Juliard, just to name 3 others without really thinking.
What if AP posted [classy] notices at all the schools, so you got plenty o' entries? In my experience, college students are so crazed with registration/moving in/getting to know people that many great spaces might well go unnoticed.
How about the inclusion of (as renata suggests) 3 vintages "pieces" or "elements"? It's true about the issue of hair-raising furniture already in place. --Although those so afflicted should think of going to Housing and asking to have a few pieces taken out and stored. But maybe WAIT til the insanity cools down. . . . When they're done with more pressing issues, they'd be more friendly about it, perhaps!
I sent this to a friend who works at an art/architecture school in NYC. I hope some of the students enter! Maybe I can cadge some more ideas for my own house.
Most grad students don't live in "dorms," per se.
Also, what defines a dorm, exactly? Must it be a single room? If so, some Columbia undergrad dorms (i.e. quads) might be off-limits as being too "apartment-like."
Also, I'm a poor graduate student living in a dorm-sized apartment. Does that count?
So many questions...
I'd love to submit my bedroom, too.
but I'm a (European) artist not a student,
so I don't think I can take part?
I'm a design student in buffalo ny, not in nyc... boo hoo :(
shadowswimming: I'm a UB grad. I hope you have a great year.
I was an undergraduate at NYU, and as I recall, there were not only penalties for removing furniture, but in my dorm hall, there were penalities for ADDING furniture. I suppose the rationale against adding furniture is that you don't want a lot of graduating students leaving big bulky items like sofas and tables for the university to toss out at the end of the year. Hopefully some leniency will be allowed when it comes to the vintage FURNITURE requirement of the contest...like counting lamps/mirrors/or what we'd normally consider "accessories."
great contest. but students are not the only ones going back to school ... lots of new faculty out there w/ new offices. how about a contest looking at what design-minded faculty do with their spaces? often, the offices are super small, oddly shaped, have drop ceilings, etc. I've seen plenty of offices that could use a designers eye ...
There are so many of us out there renting rooms (or SROs) who don't have any say about living room, bathroom, kitchen, etc. It would be great to have a low-budget single room contest.
I agree betsbillabong, i do not rent a room, but live in a tiny space in LIC and it's hard for me right now.It's so cluttered in here. I do not want my space to be depresing, but I need a lot of design help. My total apartment including the kitchen and bath is about 175 SQ feet. If anyone has any ideas or other websites that can help me incorporate all my things into one space that would be great...
Yeah, the more I read, the more I think this contest should happen at mid/late semester. . . .
reesecup- join the Cure.
There is a contest per your description... it's the annual Smallest Coolest contest.
As far as the "three thrift minimum": Lamp, frame, mirror. That's not unreasonable even in a room where removal is limited.
I have to dig up the pics of my third-year room at RISD, for kicks. VERY Miami Vice. Cool(ish) then, hysterical now.
The "three thrift" requirement specifically says furniture. Lamp, frame, and mirror are ordinarily considered accessories. If "furniture" includes lamps and mirrors, the contest master might want to clarify.
I hope this isn't too dumb of a question, but where are the posts of the dorms? I can't find them lol
Does anyone know what happen to the Dorm posts???
Still wondering what happened?

Israel Retaliates After Grad Rocket Attack
August 16, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
JERUSALEM, Aug. 16 (UPI) — Hours after a Grad rocket fired from Gaza exploded north of Beersheba, the Israeli army hit suspected terror sites in Gaza, killing a Hamas operative.
The army said five other Palestinians were injured in the air strikes that hit five targets, including a weapons smuggling tunnel near the border with Egypt and other sites in southern, eastern and central Gaza, Ma'ariv reported on Tuesday.
In one of the strikes, Hamas members on the verge of firing mortar shells at Israel were hit, the army said.
A statement released by the army said Israel holds Hamas responsible for maintaining the calm and will act determinedly against those seeking to harm Israeli citizens.
Late Monday early warning sirens alerted residents in Beersheba and the surrounding area to an incoming rocket attack. One Grad rocket fired from Gaza exploded in an area north of the city, causing no damage or injury, the army said.

► Anonymous tips helped solve 14 percent of frauds, while only 10 percent were revealed thanks to whistleblowers, according to the latest report on white collar crime from KPMG, reports the U.K.'s the Guardian. "What should send alarm bells ringing across companies is a jump in the number of cases involving the exploitation of weak internal controls – up to 74% in 2011 from 49% in 2007," the Guardian writes. The report is based on 348 investigations conducted by KPMG member firms in 69 countries.
► The Economic Policy Institute reports that cutting police to balance the budget is not effective. "Cuts to the police force of five high-crime cities in New Jersey actually cost 12.9 times more than the budgetary savings of eliminating the officers, when the cost of rising crime is factored into the equation," writes EPI.
► It might surprise some people to know that the U.S. Secret Service, mostly thought of as protecting the President, "has a long history of protecting American consumers, industries and financial institutions," as Pablo A. Martinez, deputy special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Criminal Investigative Division, told the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Martinez, testifying on the Secret Service role in cybersecurity and financial data protection, noted that the agency's cyber efforts "led to the opening of 957 criminal cases and the arrest of 1,217 suspects in fiscal year 2010 for cyber crime related violations ...[and the] arrest of these individuals prevented an additional loss estimated at $7 billion dollars."

As it's seemed to be for a few seasons now, the Edmonton Oilers have a nucleus of young players that need to take the next step in their collective development. As a result, there are no elite fantasy performers here, but several players with upside that could represent good value.
Talented winger Ales Hemsky has been knocking on the point-per-game plateau three times in the last four seasons and his gradual increase in shot production resulted in last year's career-best 23 goals. Hemsky is also a force on the power play, tallying at least 25 points with the man advantage in each of the last four seasons.
There always seems to be the perception that Hemsky is still waiting for a suitably accomplished linemate to truly find his peak game, but it doesn't appear that -- while talented -- the other Oilers forwards are up to Hemsky's skill level.
Patrick O'Sullivan is a promising young player coming off a poor season, that started with a bad line combination in L.A. and then his production didn't improve after coming to Edmonton at the trade deadline. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old has 38 goals over the last two seasons and has the speed and skill to do more.
Perhaps the Oilers' most likely player to have a breakout season would be third-year forward Sam Gagner, but the slick puckhandler will need to figure out how to produce over a full season. In each of his first two seasons, Gagner has struggled early before finishing with a flourish. If he puts it all together, a 70-point season wouldn't be out of the question.
Shawn Horcoff is a hard-working two-way centre, who has shown some offensive flair, scoring 73 points in 79 games in 2005-2006 and 50 points in 53 games in 2007-2008, but those two years are sprinkled in with 51 and 53-point seasons over the last four, making it hard to determine if this is the year that Horcoff challenges a point-per-game or is decidedly less productive that that.
The late signing of Edmonton native Mike Comrie does add some proven depth up front. Though he only managed 27 points in 63 games with the Islanders and Senators last season, Comrie is a five-time 20-goal scorer and his presence gives the Oilers insurance in case underachievers Robert Nilsson or Dustin Penner aren't getting the job done.
Penner is a possible sleeper, but one that comes fraught with risk, given his lack of production in his first couple of seasons with the Oilers. 40 goals and 85 points over two seasons is serviceable, but not when you're signed to a big contract and Penner very clearly fell into former coach Craig MacTavish's doghouse. If the new regime can light a fire under Penner, he's still capable of scoring 30 goals.
Speedy centre Andrew Cogliano has shown some skill in his first two seasons, notching a total of 83 points, but his two-way game thus far would seem to limit his offensive potential. If circumstances change and suddenly Cogliano is playing with scoring linemates and getting significant power play time, then obviously his value would go up.
Edmonton's defence is led by quality offensive defencemen. At the top of the list is Sheldon Souray, who has become a lethal power play performer with his booming blast from the point. More than half of Souray's 23 goals last season came with the man advantage and his goal and point totals (53) were the second-best marks of his career and he's not afraid to mix it up, adding penalty minute value.
Playing a decidedly different game than Souray, Lubomir Visnovsky played in a career-low 50 games last season, but still scored 17 of his 31 points on the power play. Visnovsky's mobility and headiness with the puck gives him good scoring potential, if he can stay healthy.
26-year-old Tom Gilbert improved nicely in his second season, scoring 45 points and ably rising to the challenge when Visnovsky was hurt. If everyone stays healthy, Gilbert would figure to be the third wheel and that might mean only second-unit power play time, but, given his production to this point, he can't be ignored.
Rounding out the top four, Denis Grebeshkov also warrants consideration after last year's breakout 39-point campaign.
Theoretically, the Oilers upgraded in goal by signing Nikolai Khabibulin, who is coming off a fine season in Chicago. Of course, the danger is that Khabibulin went in the tank after signing his last big contract with the Blackhawks, so the Oilers had better hope that the 36-year-old veteran puckstopper is prepared to step in and play well for 60-plus games. If he is, Khabibulin could have nice late-round value for fantasy purposes.

DOM - Document Object Model
Short for Document Object Model, the specification for how objects in a Web page (text, images, headers, links, etc.) are represented. The DOM defines what attributes are associated with each object, and how the objects and attributes can be manipulated. Dynamic HTML (DHTML) relies on the DOM to dynamically change the appearance of Web pages after they have been downloaded to a user's browser.
Unfortunately, the two leading browsers -- Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer -- use different DOMs. This is one reason why their respective implementations of DHTML are so different. Both companies have submitted their DOMs to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for standardization, which now has the daunting task of specifying a standard DOM without alienating either of the browser giants. The W3C's DOM specification will support both HTML and XML.

Sooooo much easier than other recipes and less calories since I am not adding brandy. Be sure to peel the peaches because the skin can add bitterness (I tried this with nectarines too but left the skin on and it wasn't as good). I also tried a batch with a little club soda to stretch the recipe and it was also delicious.
Sauvignon Blanc Peach Sangria
Fran Gealer
Yield: Makes 6 servings
- 3 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 (750-ml) bottle Sauvignon Blanc
- Put first 3 ingredients in a large pitcher, and add wine. Stir gently to dissolve sugar. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill 2 hours.
- Stir mixture again. Pour through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a large bowl or another pitcher. Reserve 6 peach and 6 lime slices; discard the rest. Pour sangria into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with reserved peach and lime slices.

Cardboard derby races give thrills from riders' spills
The thrills were a constant, if sometimes unintentional result at the annual race at East Madison's King Pine Ski Area. The event celebrates the skills of those who craft creative downhill rides, and the skills of those who can manage to make it down the slope in one piece.
The young girl appeared to be just a bit shaken, but was part of one of the more spectacular crashes, in which the cardboard racer had good momentum coming out of the gate, but swerved sideways. The box was stopped by a bright orange mesh fence that kept onlookers safe from flying bits of cardboard after crashes.
There were more than a few racers who didn't finish, and a number of those whose snow vehicles lacked adequate steering found themselves spilled onto the race course. Not to worry, though, as it still counted if the derby entry made it over the finish line without riders, or if it were pulled over the line by contestants in a last-ditch effort to complete the race.
The crowd was awed by the 23-foot dragon with green-and-white scales made from paper plates. The dragon was very durable, and well-steered, but those qualities slowed it down and there was plenty of time to watch is come down the slope.
Not so with many of the smaller racers. One cardboard creation made it down and over the speed bumps in record time, flipping over one racing official as it sped past and into the fence.
First, second and third prizes were awarded in two categories, two-person sleds and four-person sleds. Points were awarded for speed, style - overall look, creativity and theme - and durability.
The derby is an annual event, and coincided with St. Patrick's Day this year. Racers are built out of cardboard and held together with duct tape and glue. No wood, metal or plastic is allowed.
A list of the winners is available on the ski area's website.
