I have this theory of cycles, see. Everything in the world goes in cycles.
World economics change in broad cycles. The trouble is, most of us don't live long enough to perceive these broad cycles, nor learn the lessons to be derived therefrom.
Governmental cycles are sometimes so grand that they span several generations. Personal cycles, on the other hand, tend to follow the lunar orbit.
The list goes on endlessly. The stock market, housing surpluses and deficits, clothing styles, you name it.
Right now, we're in a crazy part of a cycle involving automobile prices, especially Ferraris. Lord knows I'm an expert on this subject. I wish that I had retained about 95 percent of the Ferraris I have owned in my lifetime, which in turn is about 95 percent of all the Ferraris ever made! But then, I simply didn't have the foresight to see where I was in that particular cycle.
But this isn't a story about car values. We're supposed to be talking about LM's, right?
I once owned an LM. In fact, I twice owned an LM. The same one. So this is a story about the short but violent cycles through which that particular car travelled in the short time that I knew and loved it.
You know my philosophy; if there is a Ferrari I haven't tried, I should try it. At least once. Maybe more, if the first one was an okay car. I have owned about a half a dozen Lussos and a like number of short-wheel-base Berlinettas, so you can see where my fondness lies.
There was a time in my life when I had never owned an LM, so when one came up for sale in San Francisco at a time in my personal economic cycle when I could afford it, nothing would do but that I buy it. I flew up to San Francisco and met Bob Cooper of Cooper Lumber Company who said, "Here, you drive it and see if you like it." I probably didn't kill the engine more than three or four times before I finally got it rolling, and was then so intimidated that I tried to shift into 2nd at about 3500 r.p.m. Garaunch! I discovered that the LM had a crashbox, and along with it discovered that the car was not accustomed to being shifted at 3500 r.p.m. The next time I ran it up to 7000 r.p.m. before shifting, and discovered that it slipped into the next gear as smoothly as a hot knife through butter. (Or knife through hot butter? I never could keep my cliches straight.)
Having thus convinced myself that I was truly a winning driver of world championship class, I immediately bought the car and took it on its drive home to Los Angeles. I soon discovered that LM's are very hot cars. This one was particularly hot. The rubber bellows around the pedals were all shot, so that radiator heat blasted in from the floor board. The water pipes running along the door sills didn't help either, nor did the sharply sloped windshield which let an extraordinary amount of hot sun touch the black upholster. The engine heat came right through the fire wall, locate immediately adjacent to my spine. As it turned out, this was the hottest day of the summer of 1967, so all in all, it was not your thrilling drive home.
But I did have a little diversion along the way. I picked up a black-and-white in my rear-view mirror, while travelling down 101. This car, number 5909, had been relegated to street use for a while, and had a speedometer attached. I carefully maintained my speed within the limit, and after four or five miles I saw the black-and-white ease off toward the off-ramp. I maintained my speed, however, and -- sure enough -- he came immediately back on the on-ramp. He did this to me no less than five times, but I was lucky smart enough to maintain my speed throughout the whole exercise.
I finally got the car home, and after several days of recovering from heat exhaustion, I took a good look at it. It was painted bright gold (YUK!) and had numerous cracks in the thin aluminum skin, so it gave me still another opportunity to find a flaky painter. (I attract flaky painters like steel filings to a magnet.) Eventually, after many months in the paint shop, detailing the bejesus out of it, etc., it was looking really good in a proper bright red. In fact, it was looking so good that I entered it in a major Concours d'Elegance at Newport Beach, where it was the hit of the show. Shortly thereafter, as is my wont, I placed the car on the market and my first caller was Sonny Bono. He arrived in an Omega (you remember the Omega!) and in order to con his business manager, I was forced to take the Omega in trade. That's another story I'll tell you sometime. The balance was paid in hundred dollar bills which he peeled off of a roll large enough to choke the proverbial horse. (Aha, another cliche!) My first clue about what was going to happen to my cherished LM was when Sonny refused my offer of a cockpit checkout with his response, "No, I know how to drive!" For the first week or two thereafter, I received reports that the car was seen parked daily in front of the Playboy Club. Then it disappeared. The story was that Sonny had already broken the gearbox, which didn't surprise me in the light of his cavalier attitude about his driving abilities.
Somehow, the car was then traded to Dan McLaughlin, who was a custom body shop operator in Southern California who happened also to be a Lola freak. Without bothering to undertake the transmission repairs, nor the engine repairs which were by then necessary, he proceeded to try to graft a Lola coupe rear section onto the car. He discovered that the Lola was a foot or two wider than the Ferrari, so he proceeded to cut the front fenders off along the crown line so as to add the extra width needed to the front of the car Along the way, the wire wheels got sold off as Dan thought it would look better with Mag wheels The car sat around in Dan's possession for many months, his pet German Shepherd making the interior his home during that time. I don't know whether you comprehend what a dog can do to a car interior or not, but let me tell you that it was a genuine and smelly mess when I next laid eyes on it.
At that point in Dan's budding career, he experienced a shop fire, and somehow or another, with some desperate friends, lifted the car out through a window, so it was not severely burned. By then, however, Dan had located a genuine Lola for sale by a movie production company at a very low figure, so I was able to buy the LM back for $3500(!). On borrowed wheels, the car came home to me again. Try to picture this: an LM with all the paint removed, some scorched areas, the front fenders held loosely to the body by two small straps across the top, the Mag wheels, carburetors and cam shaft covers removed, and an interior that looked like a cyclone had hit it. I wasn't sure whether I had got the bargain of a lifetime or had grossly overpaid.
Now can you see the cycle? From down to up to down again. I was about to embark on a major restoration job when one Gerry Sutterfield came to the rescue. Gerry was the owner of a Porsche dealership in Florida and a long time Ferrari enthusiast. He was delighted to take the car off my hands at a very modest profit, which as you might imagine I was very happy to see at that point. Gerry completed a beautiful restoration of the car over a period of at least a year, perhaps more.
Up again. Enter one Doug Towne. Before I had sold the car to Sonny Bono, and even after, Doug used to call me regularly trying to buy the car from me. He had known the car when Cooper owned it, and his life would not be fulfilled until he owned that particular LM. I located other similar cars for sale, but he wasn't interested. So, when Sutterfield had completed his restoration, it was inevitable that Doug and Gerry get together. The car came back to Northern California, where Doug parked it on his ranch. The trouble was it was a chicken ranch. I mean, you talk about your chicken shit! The car soon acquired a patina equalled only by some of the statues in the Piazza San Marco. They even got inside. Having been baptized earlier with doggie doodoo, the interior parts of old 5909 must have experience deja vu when the guano coating arrived! If Gerry Sutterfield could have seen the car then, he probably would have added some of his own!
The story of the car's condition started reaching me (my spies are everywhere!) and I made some effort to reacquire the car. Eventually, however, Fred (Frosty) Knoop bought our LM from Towne, and turned it over to one S. Whitney Griswold, known as Steve to his friends, for restoration. Now we all know that Steve is famous for his outstanding Ferrari restorations, so you can see that 5909 at this point in its life achieved a new high in its up-cycle. In fact, there are those (Corvette owners, no doubt) who say that Steve over-restored the car. But it did make a big hit at the world-famous Pebble beach Concours d'Elegance, and was certainly a sight for these sore eyes. Perhaps it was just as well that I wasn't able to buy the car from Doug; I doubt that I could have completed such a thorough and beautiful restoration.
I didn't even try to repurchase the car from Knoop--I figured that his investment at that point was definitely in a different cycle from my financial resources at the moment. The car was sold to Bob Epstein, lawyer, raconteur, part-time mooner, smart investor and fast driver (not necessarily in that order, but probably so). Now I don't want to intimate that Bob let the car deteriorate, as that was not the case, but Bob was certainly more into racing the car than showing it, so our LM acquired its share of small dings and rock chips.
Now the car is in a new home with Mr. A. Obrist, and only time will tell whether neglect and/or hard use allow the car to continue its cycle, or whether its value is now such that it will be maintained in perfect order forever.
Now, how was that for a story about cycles? Old 5909 has had more ups and downs than most people experience on their wedding night! And I didn't even tell you about the time, in its early racing life, when a blown tire tore a rear fender apart.
That was sort of a silly story, wasn't it? Ah, well. as we say in the reporting game, that's 30 for now.
Stay tuned.
Ed Niles
The above was first published almost twenty years ago, but the recent passing of Sonny Bono brought it to mind. The LM was certainly one of the most exciting Ferraris that I have ever driven, and it is on my short list of cars that I wish I had kept.
When Obrist owned 5909, it received yet another full restoration. The Obrist collection (or what remained of it) was recently sold to John McCaw, but I'm not sure if the 250 LM was part of the package.
About the author: Ed Niles, a lawyer who practices in the San Fernando Valley, has been involved and active in the world of Ferraris since Enzo's early childhood, for more than 35 years. During that time he has owned more than 100 of Maranellos products and has met some strange and wonderful characters. During occasional moments of lucidity, he will share remembrances of cars and people he has known and loved.

Our aim is to give you access to the best producers of Persian carpets today. While each city in Iran has its traditional designs and customs, there is a significant difference in quality between workshops.
For example, carpets from the Tabriz region range from mass-produced low-quality carpets to the finest silk pieces which take years to complete.
Recognizing the difference between the poorest and the best quality is relatively easy, but the task is much more difficult when trying to compare medium- to high-quality carpets. Subtle differences in the wool, workmanship, colour palettes or designs are often cues which enable you to assess a particular piece's worth.
Each weaving area in Iran has top-quality producers, or "Masterweavers", which stand apart from the rest. These workshops have stringent quality controls in place, and ensure that only the best wools and dyes are used for their carpets. Authentic carpets from one of the Masterweaver workshops give the buyer peace of mind that the piece is of superior quality and will be enjoyed for many generations with the proper care.
Carpets from these workshops are sought after worldwide, and supply is limited, due to the significant investment in time and effort to produce each piece. Any errors in the production of these carpets reduce their value, so utmost care must be taken in wool selection, tensioning of the warp and weft, the knotting, and the final shearing.
We continually search to find pieces from these Masterweaver workshops, as they represent the pinnacle in carpet production in Iran. In many cases, the workshops have a history of carpet making which spans multiple generations. Please see the links below for more details on the pieces we carry:

Chichen Itza - Quintana Roo, Mexico. A stone carving depicting apparently what happens to the winners or the losers (there is some depute among historians) of the local ball game, ullamaliztli. Sacrifice to the gods by decapitation!
Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the most opulent place I had yet been, but what impressed me the most when wandering through is the beauty and sense of serenity the place inspires. Everything is made from gold and marble, but designed with such exquisite taste it truly inspired and introduced Islamic architecture to me. The only mosque I've visited so far but surely one of the most beautiful and opulent in the world....
I have always written journals or diaries throughout my life. Most likely a by-product activity of being at an all-girls boarding school in those formative years and with no siblings around to distract me, keeping a journal has became a life-long habit.
If intimacy with your 'self' is the key to developing intimacy with others, then writing down some of the details about yourself can be very positive and therapeutic.
Part 2 of Your Personal Profile is more of an activity, and will help get you thinking about subjects about yourself and your personal narrative.
If you aspire to continuity within your journal, diary or blog, an essay might just fit the bill. Pick a subject and let it rip. You'll soon be a blogger on a mission.
If you want to do it regularly and as a hobby, perhaps write in a different location to the desk or table that you might always sit at.
Try and be fair when you write about people. This is good practice for day-to-day dealings in any case.
Beginning anything is often the hardest part. With writing, starting with the blank page or screen has been an obstacle for writers the world over!
Are you considering writing about your own life? We all have stories. It's bringing them to life that can be the challenge.
Memories of Norway always include the beautiful late evening light over Olso Fjord. Sometimes you feel like your looking at an Edvard Munch painting.

KTRS News
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Even with their recent slump, the St. Louis Cardinals still lead the National League in scoring runs - by a wide margin, too.
That slump can't last very long, can it?
Homer Bailey pitched the first seven innings of a two-hitter, and Billy Hamilton got his first steal in the majors and scored on Todd Frazier's double in the seventh inning Tuesday night, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 1-0 victory.
St. Louis was blanked for the third time in the last six games. All three shutouts have come against NL Central rivals Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, part of a three-team race for the playoffs.
"We've got an offense that's played a lot of games this year and done extremely well," manager Mike Matheny said. "You can't start trying to reinvent the wheel. It was just a tough night."
It turned on Hamilton's blink-of-an-eye debut, one that the Cardinals had awaited.
Hamilton set a professional record by swiping 155 bases in the minors last year. He got an ovation when he made his big league debut as a pinch runner for Ryan Ludwick, who led off the seventh with a single against Seth Maness (5-2).
The 20,219 fans in the stands and everyone on the field and in the dugouts knew what was coming. Hamilton was about to test one of the toughest catchers in the game. Could he outrun catcher Yadier Molina's throw?
After Maness threw to first three times, Hamilton took off and beat an off-target throw from Molina, who rushed a bit.
"He was just another baserunner," Maness said. "We know he's fast, but you treat him no different. Get the ball to the plate quick and make the throw.
"It was a bang-bang play. That's baseball."
Hamilton scored easily on Frazier's hit and got congratulatory slaps in the dugout.
Bailey (10-10) allowed two hits and retired his last 14 batters. Aroldis Chapman threw four pitches that registered 103 mph while fanning the heart of the Cardinals' order in the ninth for his 34th save in 39 chances.
By taking the first two in the four-game series, the Reds snapped the Cardinals' streak of winning seven straight series between the NL Central rivals. St. Louis is 10-7 against Cincinnati this season.
The head-to-head opportunities are dwindling. Second-place St. Louis is a game and a half ahead of Cincinnati. The Cardinals host the division-leading Pirates for three games next weekend, completing their season series. The Reds play Pittsburgh six times in their last nine games.
The trio has been in a tight pack atop the division most of the season. Currently, all three are in position to make the playoffs.
Hamilton's steal and Frazier's hit decided a game full of tough pitching and impressive defense.
Michael Wacha, the Cardinals' top draft pick last year out of Texas A&M, made his fifth career start and blanked the Reds on three hits through six innings.
"He was very impressive," Matheny said. "When you put guys in that kind of situation, you never know how they're going to react. He stepped up."
The Cardinals' lineup was back to full strength. Carlos Beltran was back in right field after missing two games with a sore back. Molina was back in the lineup after leaving Monday's game with a sore left wrist.
Bailey is in a good stretch, winning his last five decisions. He held the Cardinals to five hits over 7 1-3 innings during a 10-0 win in St. Louis last Wednesday.
Bailey escaped an early threat. Matt Carpenter opened the game with a single, and Bailey walked Beltran on four pitches, bringing up Matt Holliday. The left fielder has a .375 career average against Bailey, but struck out swinging. Allen Craig grounded into a double play.
Defense had a lot to do with keeping this one close. No surprise there - St. Louis has the fewest errors in the NL, Cincinnati the third-fewest.
NOTES: The Cardinals called up RHP Carlos Martinez, LHP Tyler Lyons, INF Ryan Jackson, INF Brock Peterson and C Audry Perez. ... Reds manager Dusty Baker said LHP Tony Cingrani will start the final game of the series on Thursday. RHP Greg Reynolds replaced Cingrani when he went on the DL with a sore back and was on turn to start. Baker said Reynolds will be ready if Cingrani has problems. ... Reds RHP Bronson Arroyo (13-10) starts Wednesday's game against RHP Shelby Miller (12-9). Arroyo is 0-3 in four starts against the Cardinals this season and 8-16 for his career.
St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish is now considering an affiliation with the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. The St. Louis Polish parish broke away from the Roman Catholic Church nearly a decade ago during a dispute over who controlled the parish's finances. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Bishop George Wayne Smith has sent a letter to Episcopal clergy about the proposal. The negotiations come seven months after the Archdiocese of St. Louis dropped its appeal of a judge's ruling that handed over control of St. Stanislaus to its own lay board. The Archdiocese had removed the parish in 2005 when it was at odds over a 19th century agreement that allowed St. Stanislaus to govern its own finances.
Ghosts hunters investigate the Missouri Penitentiary
Tuesday, 03 September 2013 10:17 Published in Local NewsIn keeping with the spirit of the program, the Missouri State Penitentiary will be the focus of a travel show which features ghosts. The Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventurers" will spotlight the former Missouri prison in an episode this week. The film crew re-enacted the 1954 prison riot and a double-execution conducted at the prison. The program will also focus on the gas chamber and the housing unit that held death row. The Missouri State Penitentiary closed in 2004 and was the oldest continually operating prison west of the Mississippi River. It is located near the state Capitol and overlooks the Missouri River.

The Military Street Style Fashion from the 1980's is still very popular for men. In today's modern world, it has been taken, shaken and used to create top class styles as well as fashion across the globe.World War II is a moment of great inspiration for military fashion trends. Though, Military fashion has never really left the trend scene, it's become more sophisticated and sexy.
It is said that for approximately 2 years, Military Street Style Fashion trends will be popular and will grow into something better. Some of the colors, shapes and finer details associated with military clothing have made their way into menswear. Bringing the '80s style to the present day, this new trend is used in catwalk, pop/rock videos, and fashion icons across the world are flaunting their military look.
With the Military Street Fashion Style, you can look masculine and fierce with a modern fashion in modern years. Though, men's military fashion trend is not something new to us, there are some things that you should follow while implementing it in day-to-day life. First of all, do not follow the military that was popularized by the likes of Adam Ant, because it is far from whimsical style of this decade. Instead, the style should focus on finesse and quality so that the it is much more graceful.
If you are a fashion lover and wish to indulge in the men's military street fashion styles, there are two key pieces you'll need to keep in mind :
A greatcoat
A greatcoat can be single or double-breasted; and should be detailed with brass buttons. You can also find some antique buttons to your coat for genuine authenticity. The greatcoat can be belted or sometimes, un-belted. You have the color choices like Army green and shades of Air Force navy hues.
Aviator boots with shearling
If you're inclined towards the fighter look, you can apply shearling to the collar of an aviator jacket or a greatcoat. However, following the trend doesn't mean looking like you're going to a fancy dress party (or Halloween party maybe). So, be cautious while moving into a realm of costuming!
Unlike some fashions, the military style look is very different for everyone. Wear it how you want and go with it. Because, all really is fair in love and war. So, while starting to expand your wardrobe this fall, have a look at the military fashion for a little inspiration and new trends.

Officials eye next health care stepKan. under the gun on complying with law now that Obama's re-elected.TOPEKA - Kansas officials are considering their next steps to implement the federal health care law now that the presidential election has been decided and deadlines are looming.
The state has until Nov. 16 to tell the federal government whether it wants to be a partner in creating an online health insurance marketplace. Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger's office is preparing a partnership application and will seek grant money to implement the exchange. But to do so, Praeger, a moderate Republican, must get a letter of support for the state's partnership from Gov. Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican who is opposed to the health care law. The two are expected to meet this week to discuss the letter and application. Both are elected officials and have been at odds over how the state should proceed in implementing the law. Linda Sheppard, project manager for implementing the law, said Praeger's staff hadn't spoken with the governor about what is included in the state's application and didn't speculate on the chances of his approval. "He has been very consistent that he has not wanted to talk about this and not willing to look at these issues until after the election," Sheppard said. Brownback delayed the state's decisions hoping that a Mitt Romney victory would lead to a reprieve for states. However, with President Barack Obama's victory on Tuesday night and a ruling this summer by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding the law, chances of the law's repeal vanished. The governor's spokeswoman, Sherriene Jones Sontag, declined to speculate whether Brownback would sign off on the insurance department's application to partner with the federal exchange. The federal health care law was a factor in Tuesday's legislative election results, following the trend set in 2010 when Brownback was elected and large numbers of conservative Republicans were elected to the Legislature. Nearly all ran on the platform of opposing the health care law over concerns that it was an unconstitutional intrusion on state and individual rights. Those victories were followed by more wins by conservatives in the August primary and on Tuesday, which marked defeats of moderate Senate Republican incumbents who opposed a measure to amend the Kansas Constitution granting so-called health care freedom choices to residents. "The people of Kansas have spoken loudly three times. They want us to pursue Kansas solutions," Jones-Sontag said. "We are discussing options and alternatives with like-minded states and with our legislative partners in Kansas." Sheppard said the state was applying to fill the roles of plan management and consumer assistance. She said because of timelines to implement the law that Kansas was unable to set up its own exchange. The insurance department would have to receive legislative approval to spend any federal dollars on the exchange partnership. Pressure from the conservative Republicans last year prompted Brownback to reject $31.5 million in federal funds to help build the computer infrastructure necessary for an exchange. States must have the exchanges in place and approve a basket of qualified plans that would be available for consumers to purchase that meet minimum federal guidelines. In addition to the exchanges, the federal health care law says that in 2017, states must pick up 5 percent of the cost of the Medicaid expansion. The figure grows to 10 percent by 2020. In the past, states generally have been required to pick up about 40 percent of the cost, and in Kansas, the state's share for its $2.9 billion-a-year program is almost $1.2 billion. Some state officials also worry that Kansas could face substantial new costs if it agrees to the Medicaid expansion because people who are now eligible without the expansion but not participating in the program also could seek coverage. That issue was noted by a Congressional Budget Office report in July. House Minority Leader Paul Davis said he was concerned about the state's ability to expand Medicaid given Tuesday's new revenue estimates projecting a $327 million shortfall in the next state budget because of income tax cuts taking effect Jan. 1. "There's no room for any spending initiatives. That is a big concern," said Davis, a Lawrence Democrat. blog comments powered by Disqus Inappropriate comments include those which: are libelous or defamatory are obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit; substituting characters for letters is not acceptable degrade others on basis of race, gender, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classification are predatory, hateful or intended to attack, intimidate or harass writers or other commenters. contain advertising or solicitation misrepresent your identity or affiliation Also: Please don't hijack comment threads to controversial topics; keep comments relevant to the topic.

Listen to the Post-Mortem Town Hall
photo by cindy marie jenkins
Thanks to everyone who attended the post-mortem Fringe Town Hall on Saturday afternoon! We had a lively discussion at the Asylum Lab. It was a very successful event for us, filled with great feedback and a number of innovative solutions for helping the Fringe better service artists and our community in the future. Special thanks to Matt Quinn for lending us the space for the meeting.
For those of you who missed it, we recorded the proceedings.

Join the Cause: We are Fringe
Greetings, Fringers-
The 2013 Festival has come and gone. What a weird, wild and wonder-filled month it was.
The numbers we use to gauge the success of the Fringe tell a stellar tale: $258k returned to the Fringe community, 35,000 seats filled, 40% growth over 2012. And then there are the intangibles: the newfound fringeships, the cultural and artistic development, the countless feats on the stage and beyond.
And so we look to 2014 with hope, excitement and glorious anticipation of things to come. If only these qualities in their full realization powered a festival of this magnitude. Indeed our needs go beyond the full strength of our artists and the steely commitment of our staff: they require the financial support of our great community.
The Fringe is an expensive thing. Every year we are on the preverbal hook for printing, rent, insurance, advertisements, equipment, supplies and the myriad of services and goods required to serve and support this cause. As the Fringe expands year over year, so too does our overhead and we struggle to keep up.
Will you help us? Our Summer campaign is nearly done and we have a long ways to go to meet out goal. If we come up short many of our services and dreams of new outlets for promotion will be cut; every penny helps us stay afloat.
You can give to the Fringe at donate.hollywoodfringe.org.
If you truly feel the Fringe is a worthy institution then please spread the word to your friends and colleagues. The very nature of this festival is one of community and leveraging our collective strength to engender something great. Pass along this email, post on your social networks, wave the flag of fringe. We are all in this together, after all.
Your assistance is so very valuable and we love you all for helping us make this fantastic event a reality every year.

2013 Fringe Intern Blogs: Part Five (the Final Edition)
In the Interns' final blog posts, they contemplate what they've learned and how they feel now that the festival is over. A big thanks to all our 2013 interns!
From Our Veteran Intern, Sammy:
I'm wearing my yellow 2013 Fringe shirt and my Christmas boxers in bed thinking of Hollywood Fringe and a time when I wore this shirt with pants and sandals. I'm thinking of the days when we strutted Santa Monica Blvd, read Moby Dick on Santa Monica Blvd., tapped danced on Santa Monica Blvd.
Hollywood Fringe 2013 was truly marvelous, invigorated with life and community. The Awards Ceremony last Sunday was thrumming, radiating heat and theatre- melting the Styrofoam bowls of Yoshinoya. Twas a party to be proud of. And not only that, all of the performances recognized, and all of the ones that should have been recognized, were so inspiring, original, awakening. I swear I left every play with a new epiphany.
The fact that it was in the same location- that Fringe Central Station this year was the same Fringe Central Station as last year- created a parallel of the event for me. As someone who literally dropped out of LA, and returned just in time for Fringe, it felt like no time had gone by. Last year was a dream. I remember the first show I attended, 'Texas Loves Lyla', where the person next to me said, 'Welcome to Hollywood', and just like that I was immersed in the dream. This year was the dream realized. No longer did I feel like an observer, learning and mystified by the goings on in Fringe Central. I felt I belonged in it. Hollywood Fringe is a beautiful fish bowl of the dream; a perfect theatre community where everyone is so motivating, where everything is exciting, where anything is possible. On June 30th, they dumped the Hollywood Fringe fish bowl out into the great Ocean of Los Angeles.
Now that we're out in the ocean, let's keep Fringing. With extensions starting this week, there are so many plays to keep seeing and so many people to talk to. Let's keep the party going!
From Our Newbie Intern, Emilie:
When people asked me about my internship at the Hollywood Fringe Festival this June, I was at a loss to paint an accurate picture of what exactly my job entailed. However, now that time has given me some perspective, I have been able to articulate some of the important things my internship taught me. You might have heard somewhere that people from my generation have short attention—did you know that according to recent statistics there are 115,000 domesticated llamas in the US? Because Hollywood Fringe is so "with it" and we are "the cool kids on the block," this blog post is coming at you in list format, to accommodate the ADD tendencies of generation selfie (See Ezra Koenig's tweet: "Generation selfie needs to take a good look at itself in the mirror").
10 Things I Learned From My Internship At The Hollywood Fringe Festival (No Cat Photos Included—Deal With It):
1. There is never enough popcorn.
2. When telling someone that you don't have a t-shirt in his or her size, try and use the most tactful, euphemistic language possible. (IE. "They run very small" or "We've sold out of a lot of sizes")
3. Be nice to people!!!!! This means remembering their names, what shows they are working on, and any other personal information they might have told you in the past. In an organization like Fringe that prides itself on building community, it's important to show that you're invested, and that you value what everyone has to say.
4. If you don't know the answer to a question, find someone who does. Providing misinformation when you're a part of a large organization hurts everyone involved.
5. Take pride in your space! Fringe Central Station served for many participants and show viewers as their first glimpse of what Hollywood Fringe is and what we're about. The little things (throwing away cups, keeping the bathroom stocked) make a big impression and help the Fringe forge its own image and reputation.
6. Wait up for the Munchie Machine.
7. Have fun. If you have the opportunity to make your late-twenties, male coworkers sing Britney Spears's "…Baby One More Time" for karaoke, you should probably take it.
8. Pretend your whole experience is an improv game, or that you are the heroine of a romantic comedy hell-bent on remaking her life in a positive fashion, and say "yes!" to everything. Put in extra hours, take the comped tickets, and make the Chipotle run. Not only does saying "yes" prove that you're a team player but it also opens you up to all the experiences Fringe has to offer.
9. Talk to the people you're working with! And not just superficial "how was your day" chatter. When you intern with an organization like Fringe, you are surrounded by people who, like you, are passionate about the arts, but who, unlike you, have spent time pursuing them in the real world. One of the most interesting parts of my job was seeing how people incorporate theater and their various passions into their lives, whether it be as their main careers or not.
10. One of the most fundamental lessons of acting classes holds true for those offstage at Hollywood Fringe: be in the moment. So many disparate personalities converge for this event, and it's really wonderful to take it all in and enjoy everyone's company. Savor the fact that despite the scary, dystopian darkness of our world people still come together to make and appreciate art!
Take that, Buzzfeed!

sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to post. i am new to these forums.
I know this is a bit selfish, seeing as how we just opened the ps3 cfw era, but is there any chance someone might make ps3 buttonmapping like what the PSP has?
I swapped my X/O buttons on my psp in relation to jpn mapping, which makes sense that O is accept and X is cancel. i did this mainly because i first found out about this US button swap enigma when i played Kingdom Hearts in a previous life time, and thought it was weird that O is jump button instead of X.
that's my story as to "why". so... does anyone know if it could be some time soon? if not, can someone point me in the right direction to making my own? i know nothing of how the ps3's programming works, it's a whole 'nother language to me..
again, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

The current economic crisis means we are in difficult times in terms of finding work, but for some, it is also very difficult to keep their job without suffering some kind of harassment.
It is true that we are in a free market economy, and as such, the law of supply and demand is what drives everything including the job market. The demand for labor is far lower than the supply of labour and that means, the employer is holding all the cards.

T-shirt fabric is great to work with, as it doesn't fray, and with this design, you can change the ribbons to suit your mood.
Fold t-shirt, and slice off arms diagonally.
Slice straight across neckline
Fold over neckline about an inch, front and back, then stitch along.
Thread a piece of ribbon through each side, and tie in a bow either side of the neck.
Make a discreet hole on the inside of the hem, and thread through elastic, and knot so the t-shirt ruches up, but not to the extent that the waistband cuts off your blood flow.
Your new fangled sun-top is now ready to wear. Slip on, and tie neck bows accordingly, and add a jolly brooch to accessorise.

May 1, 2010 The New Leaders We NeedBy Jim Lion
There's too much power in Washington, D.C. It's dangerous for everyone, and we need to reduce it. Crush it, really. Power belongs to the states and the people. When politicians in Washington, D.C. try to increase their own power, they commit sedition against the sovereignty of the people, and we should have the courage to call them out on it. But that's not enough. We need to stop them, too.
This is why I love the Tea Party, where I can find kindred souls. Its why I vote Republican. Its why I want to throw the bums out. But if all we get is another bunch of bums, then what's the point? Unfortunately, party affiliation is no guarantee that a new bunch of bums won't try to rule us as subjects any less than the last bunch of bums, even if they fly a banner of a different color. Who can tell the difference between the red Bloods and blue Crips in the gang-wars of Los Angeles? Those of us who know our history -- who know how the Roman Republic, after seventy years of internal bickering, lost its freedom and became the Roman Empire under a benign dictator known as Augustus Caesar -- see the accumulation of power in a single city as an evil that crosses all party lines. If we fail to reduce the power of Washington, D.C. by returning said power to the states, local governments, and private individuals operating within their own spheres, then there is no America worth saving. There is only power. Those who possess it. Those who do not. We can all just sit in front of our TVs and let the powerful toss us a few spare bones, as if to a pet dog, while they gorge themselves on filet mignon every single day. At present, we have only one political party offering a smidgen of hope that it will commit to reducing the power of Washington, D.C.: The Republicans. Unfortunately, many of the Republican Party bosses have fully vested themselves in the power of Washington, D.C. -- in national rather than local power -- and for this reason, we need a thorough house-cleaning. We need people who desire to attain national power so they can wield less power than their predecessors. This runs counter to human nature. Human nature pushes us always to want to increase our own power -- at first out of private ambition, and then out of a sense of responsibility or a desire to "do good." Funny how that works. We always feel like we can do more good if only we have more power. Frodo Baggins knew better in The Lord of the Rings, but in the end, even he could not resist what the ring offered. So how does one rise to power only to reduce that power -- and not only for oneself, but for all those who follow as well? Simple. Look to America's founders. Look to George Washington, the man who gave his name to that shining city on a hill, at once the protector of our freedoms and the source of our approaching slavery. When George Washington and his Continental Army found themselves in possession of a new and free country after the British lost the Revolutionary War, he faced his own crucial decision. Like Julius Caesar before him, he had a Rubicon to cross. Or not. We can thank God almighty that George Washington didn't cross his Rubicon -- because he didn't fight a war for freedom in order to gain power for himself and in so doing deny his countrymen their freedom. At the time, his officers were upset that the Continental Congress hadn't paid them for their salaries-in-arrears after fighting all those years in the field, often in bare feet, on subsistence diets, while family farms got torched by the redcoats or turned to hayseed and weeds due to neglect. They offered to make him the monarch of America. King of the United States. What a temptation! He talked them out of it. Would that we had such men alive today! When King George heard that George Washington had been offered the American crown, and that Washington turned it down, he is said to have responded, "If that's true, then he truly is the world's greatest man." Washington, you see, was known as the "world's greatest man" even in Europe, but there were those like King George who didn't buy it. ...Not until Washington proved it by climbing to a position of power, being tempted by the supreme prize, and resisting -- preferring instead to return to his family farm, like the legendary Roman Cincinnatus, who helped found the ancient Republic. He tossed the ring of power into Mount Doom, where it belonged. Do we have any George Washingtons in our midst? Any men who truly understand the Biblical mandate to "love your neighbor as yourself" and realize that it means, first, foremost, and above all, to respect your neighbor's God-given freedom? I don't know, but I hope so. Because of this hope, I can proudly state: I'm a Tea Partier, just one of many. I'll be watching, and I'll be voting.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies
Brownies are sort of like cheesecake, aren't they? There's nothing better than the perfect dense, fudgy brownie , just like not much can beat a classic piece of creamy cheesecake. Yet with both of these desserts we're always fiddling around with different versions, swirling things in and layering things on the top and the bottom (incidentally, peanut butter goes well with both!). It's an endless merry go round of dessert experimentation, where there really can never be a bad result. Feel free to check out all of my brownie recipes and cheesecake recipes to see how many times I have spun around this little kitchen carousel. But like a little kid at the amusement park, you never want the ride to stop, so we keep going… which is where these amazing brownies come in.Cookie Dough Brownies
First, there is a brownie layer. Good heck. It's soft and moist and full of rich, chocolate flavor with the tinsiest hint of nutella hidden inside.

Banana Split Brownies
Confession time - I succumbed to the marked-down, slightly-browned bananas when I was at the grocery store recently, despite having a huge resealable bag full of them in my freezer. You can never have too many bananas, right? That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. They've been sitting on our island starting at me all week, begging to be used.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
February 4th, 2011 Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies My favorite dessert combination is peanut butter and chocolate- like my favorite drugstore candy is a Reese's Peanut butter cup hands down! This is a very indulgent, rich and beautiful version of that old fashioned combo. When I saw the cover of Bon Appetite this month, a stack of brownies piled high, I was totally inspired.
To say my boss and his family like Disney would be putting things rather lightly. They love themselves some Disney. The business, the movies, and the theme parks. Go on, ask them. Something they love the most when they visit is the food.
Right from the Boardwalk of Disney, Brownie Cheesecake
Filed under Desserts Ingredients 1 box brownie mix + ingredients to make brownies 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped 1 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon light corn syrup Chopped nuts, sprinkles, toasted coconut, etc. for garnish Directions Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make brownie mix according to package directions. Spoon a generous teaspoon of brownie batter into each tin of a well greased mini muffin pan. Do not overfill. Brownies should just reach the top of the pan when baked--you don't want muffin tops.
Chocolate Mint Brownies
Yes, yes, yes. Yes, I know I posted a dessert last time. I know.
Blondies, the weird half sister of brownies... some love them, some hate them. I told John these were blondies... he looked at them and said "but they're brown..." well that's what happens when you use almond butter, whole wheat flour, and apple butter in them I guess. So these are brown blondies... doesn't sound so appetizing does it... hmmmm ok call them whatever you want but I'm calling them tasty! You might be wondering... apple butter?? Huh???
:: steph chows ::: Blondies... kinda... not really.
Caramel Brownies
Caramel brownies. Everyone needs a recipe in their arsenal and let me tell you, these are possibly some of the most luscious, decadent brownies I have ever eaten. A brownie base cooks alone and is then smothered with creamy caramel and another layer of brownie batter and chocolate chips (and nuts, too, if you love 'em!). Those layers bake together to create a dense, rich brownie infused with chewy, gooey caramel.

Memories from the Barry & District News of 50 and 25 years ago
7:00am Thursday 13th September 2012 in Looking Back
EXTRACTS from the Barry & District News of September 13, 1962:
* The Romilly Cinema, Broad Street is to close at the end of next week after over 50 years of film showing - and it is almost certain that it will become a bingo hall.
* Clive Lewis, Barry's globetrotter on a motor-scooter, is returning to his home town early next week after 2.5 years on the roads of four continents. As yet his parents, Mr and Mrs G A Williams, of Barry Road, are not sure of the exact date of his arrival because when he wrote them his last letter he was still waiting in New York for a ship which would take him - and his scooter - and allow him to work his passage back.
* One of the biggest storms in Welsh football blew up on Monday with the sacking of Cardiff City manager Bill Jones of the Parade, Barry, who spent several seasons as manager of the Barry Club at the beginning of the 50's.
EXTRACTS from the Barry & District News of September 10, 1987:
* A warning that plans for a Marina development at Barry's Old Harbour, which they "believe" includes building more than 270 houses, 75 flats, and hotels, shops and offices, were at an "advanced stage", has been sounded by the Barry Preservation Society and Civic Trust.
* Two young Barry girls, nine-year-olds Sarah Manford of Liscum Way, Highlight Park and Hayley Rawlinson of Colcot Road, who earlier this summer decided to organise a series of events to aid charity, recently raised the marvellous sum of £91 for LATCH.
* Barry lifeboat has been "trapped" in the No 1 Dock by this week's high tides but Associated British Ports have discounted suggestions that their dredging policy has forced the move from the boat's usual mooring in Barry harbour.

A multidisciplinary cultural development center, GainVille specializes in language lessons for children but also offers classes for adults, ESL classes, and academic support, including educational-placement programs, counseling, and tutoring. A teaching staff of native Spanish, Italian, French, Mandarin, and Arabic speakers leads immersive sessions that not only cover grammar and vocabulary but also delve into the art, history, cuisine, and famous yo-yoists of the regions where each respective language is spoken. To fill up on brain food before or after class, students can head down to the café for some healthy international cuisine.
the scent of cumin, curry, and chilies immediately meets the nose when the doors open to Clove Indian Cuisine. Chefs cook up the traditional dishes of cuisines throughout India, from lamb chops sprinkled with black cumin and nutmeg sizzling in the tandoori oven to biryanis tossed with a choice of meats. The menu features vegetarian-friendly options, as well as exotic meats that are used to create dishes such as savory fish tikka and spicy goat vindaloo. To cool down the spice of these dishes without mapping out the nearest fire hydrants, guests can snack on syrupy gulab jaman or glasses of mango lassi.
During the 2012 Thai Restaurant Week, 11 metropolitan Thai eateries were recognized by Yingluck Shinawatra, Thailand's Prime Minister, with a certification from the Thai Trade Center acknowledging their superior quality of ingredients, preparation, and authentic flavors. One look at Ploi Thai's menu and it is not hard to imagine why they received such an honorable distinction. Their dishes––such as skewered chicken satay or curry-pasted salmon––tug many culinary threads, blanketing diners in a patchwork of flavors that draw from northern and central Thailand. Chefs conjure these dishes from local ingredients and seasonings, eschewing such questionable additives as MSG and textbooks that attribute the theory of relativity to Franklin Delano Einstein. Since the restaurant is BYOB, diners can tote along their own fermented beverages to pair with the sweet ginger salmon, which arrives in a pool of ginger and black-bean sauce dotted with shiitake-mushroom rafts. Inside the dining room, colorful, low-slung lights illuminate the handful of tables that are strewn across the restaurant's pale hardwood floors, and geometric cutouts and sprays of orchids punctuate cobalt walls.
For more than 25 years, the aroma of traditional Italian food and tapas wafted through the kitchen and dining rooms of chef Dominick Anfuso's Al Di La. These days, however, that kitchen is the dominion of chef Peter Ingrasselino. Drawing upon nearly a quarter century of experience, chef Peter Ingrasselino, who was previously general manager and executive chef of Masina Trattoria Italiana in Weehawken, maintains the former chef's legacy while adding his own twists to the Italian-centered menu. He fills the kitchen with activity, tossing porcini and wild mushrooms with pappardelle noodles, brushing aged steak with a balsamic glaze, and wrapping sea scallops in pancetta.
Meals unfold in a dining room, where high ceilings and exposed brick evoke the ambiance of a café in Venice. Visitors sip drinks, their chatter punctuating music from live bands.
When owner Joe Barrett bought the former Clifton Beef & Ale House, he had his work cut out for him. But he pooled his extensive restaurant experience to transform the former greasy spoon into its current classy incarnation, Riverside Bar & Grill. The resulting menu features upscale Italian cuisine, such as chicken saltimbocca, penne alla vodka, and shrimp fra diavolo. Bar-side, you can also munch on a margherita pizza or ribeye sandwiches.
Despite the gourmet menu and beautiful decor—sconces and framed art line butterscotch-color walls—the atmosphere is refreshingly laid back. Diners can sip beer and wine as plasma TVs broadcast baseball, football, and extreme competitive stamp collecting.
Slinger's Sports Restaurant's head chef, Nick Tokarski, presides over an eclectic menu of casual and upscale fare, filling mouths in a convivial atmosphere illumined by 11 high-definition TVs. For appetizers, dining companions divvy up a dozen steamed littleneck clams simmered with roasted garlic, bacon, and white wine, or prime palates with the zesty Sichuan sauce coating Ray's spicy shrimp. Built upon a homemade flatbread foundation, the Chef's pie pizza pairs melty cheeses with tomato sauce, wild mushrooms, red onions, and fresh basil, fostering an ideal avenue for flaunting your outfit's built-in bib. Dre's burger stacks 8 ounces of Black Angus with guacamole and chipotle mayo and tames tongues with a flavor lasso made of jalapeños and jack and cheddar cheeses. At the Mac Bar, noshers craft macaroni masterpieces from three cheesy styles and a cornucopia of varied toppings, from hard-boiled eggs to meatballs to blackened shrimp.

I am really happy with this device
By Renatojd1
from New Jersey, USA
Comments about Samsung 1010404 1010404 Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T 11.6" Tablet:
I have had the device for three months now and I am completely happ with it. I have not found anything to complain about. I am very confortable with Windows 8. I don't get why people hate it so much. It took exactly two minutes to and the start button back. I also have VM Ware running different versions of Linux and no issues at all. I was going to complain about the HD space, but I relaized that everything I have is in the cloud now so it's really not that much of an issue.

Great little tablet pc
By JC4499
Overall I am extremely happy with this product. Having some glitches with the camera but will hopefully have that cleared up soon. I use this mainly for work and some for play and the note feature works fantastic with the pen. It is quick and easy to carry around.

Just Samsung... :)
By VBOVBO
from Switzerland
We buy 2 Ativ Smart PC Pro for us Marketing team. Very good product. Good quality. S Pen, just incredible. :) A must have. The Warranty extension's is very cheap (~110$ for 5 years). Pro : - S Pen - Samsung - Design - Quality - Silent Cons : - Having some problems with TPM - Sata 2 SSD... - Cannot flip the Tablet for connect it to the keyboard (For having the keyboard behind the screen and having a long battery usage in Tablet mode) - No intel I7 Version's, No 256Go SSD Version - THE POWER Button is very bad placed. When you insert the tablet into the keyboard, you have 75% chance to push the power button. Actual Bugs : - Having problems with Samsung software upgrade - Limited user's have a With square appear on the upper left. Administrator's user don't have this bug.
Powerful in a tight package
By MaxYoda
from North Carolina, USA
This is my second Samsung Windows tablet. I added this product after having the first series 700T1A Slate for the past year (I gave that slate to another family member yesterday). The first slate was my primary laptop, and this new device is its intended replacement. For the work I do (engineering with LOTS of travel), an android or IOS device would not work - several essential software tools I use are Windows only. Further, even the 500 series would not run them. The Intel i5 provides plenty of speed, and the Full 1080p HD display was a nice step up from the first slate. Other than the display, the devices are remarkably similar in specs and performance. I have not had a chance to fully exercise the battery, but I am hoping for an improvement in that area. I could get about 3.5 hours on the earlier model, and this one should give me as much as 6 hours. We will see. My initial impressions are as they were for the first Samsung slate - very impressed. Gorgeous display, good speed, and all pc functionality that I need. It is a laptop when I need it, and a tablet when I don't.
IPads are for playing games this is for real work...And Games!
By TechnicianPettition
from SLC, UT
The only reason I put this at the 4 star for performance is because it's not an i5, but this little atom processor was design specifically for windows 8 and it runs it beautifully. I love how well this system work. I can do all of my work tasks from it and I can take it anywhere. I'm a very heavy user using this thin about 12 hours in the first two days and it never missed a beat. I recommend updating everything when you get it and it should work perfectly. I have used this thing so much in one week it's crazy. I actually have several friends that felt a little cheated for buying the IPad after looking at this. The screen is beautiful and the stylus works really well.
Excellent tablet
By benvash
from Lubbock, TX
I'm really liking this tablet a lot! It's just what I expected from Samsung. In this review, I will be comparing it to the Series 7 Slate. Form factor: I'm really digging the overall form of the tablet. They seemed to have made it thinner around the edges so it doesn't feel as bulky as the S7S. Also, you might not think it makes a difference but the ATIV Pro weighs 1.9 pounds and the S7S 2.0 pounds but let me tell you it's definitely noticeable. Pen input: I'm really digging the S-Pen. It's actually a whole lot smaller than I thought it would be. It's at least an inch smaller than the S7S pen. It might bother you if you have big hands but it's just great for me. My main use with the pen(and main deal as a tablet) is to draw on it with Painter 12 and Photoshop and from time to time write down my ideas for stories. I have an Intuos4 tablet but I hate having to draw and look up at the monitor and not being able to look at where I'm drawing. 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity vs the 256 levels that the S7S has. It is quite noticeable, actually. But don't expect a huge difference. Pen is also safely tucked inside the tablet for convenience. At least you'll know where your pen is and not have to carry it around in a bag. Touch input: It's pretty accurate and fluid. I'm actually typing this review with the touch screen keyboard. :)It's really great with Windows 8. The only difference between this one and the S7S is that around the edges the pen starts to shake. Never noticed that on the S7S. Ports: Same amount of ports as the S7S but they are more conveniently placed this time around compared to the S7S. Also the ATIV Pro editions do get a USB 3.0 which is a huge plus. I'm a bit wry of the charge port as on the unit I have the plug does not fully insert into the port so I have to keep making sure that the tablet is charging when I have it in my lap. Cameras: Decent. Don't expect HD quality or anything like that. The back camera does not have LED flash like the ATIV 500T. WLAN: This tablet picks up more signals than my S7S ever did. I love it but sometimes it gets disconnected for some reason? I don't know if it's a hardware or software issue yet. If you're looking for a great tablet to take notes with, draw on using serious drawing programs(or not), this one is great. Also if you're looking for great performance from a so called 'toy', this is it. Full blown Windows 8 PRO that runs well, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD, 1920 x 1080 HD resolution, Intel 1.7 GHz Core i5-3317U processor, a keyboard dock to turn it into a laptop...great stuff. You can not only watch videos but edit them-stuff you can normally do with your desktop/laptop computer. Work and play all in one!
Very impressive tablet
By Goalie1
from Essex, MA
I bought this as a laptop replacement and it's a really nice piece of hardware. The performance is great and so is the screen. Everyone I've shown it to has responded with an "I want one!". For business users, this is the way to go - - no more "should I grab the laptop or the tablet?" The S-Pen is a great addition, too. The handwriting recognition in OneNote is very good. The only thing that's kept it from a 5-star review is that there are some small software issues that haven't been resolved yet. That said, Samsung's support has been pretty good.
