Hey all,
Lately I've been getting a lot of questions about the current status of RBN. A few of the most recent threads in this sub forum are "RBN bites the dust?" and "Has RBN Shut Down?" so I wanted to take a moment to weigh in on what's up at the moment.
First and foremost, there are server issues complicating the release of tracks released via RBN. There are 6 tracks that should have been released to the store ("Republic of Gamers", "Humanoid", "The Modern Prometheus", "Thirteen", "Spark of Life" and "Wake Up") that have been held up because of these issues.
Secondly, timing has most definitely worked against us and made a fix that much more difficult. Summer is our busiest event season (E3, D23, Gamescom, Best Buy Managers Convention, PAX all hit in rapid succession) which has meant we haven't been as available to respond to concerns as we normally would. Microsoft has also made several major changes to their store infrastructure in recent weeks, primarily the roll over from MSP to $, so it hasn't been clear which issues could be on their side, as tracks haven't been propping to Xbox.com properly either. On top of all that, our Web / LiveOps team, the folks that would normally be investigating server issues like this, have been working diligently on several urgent site updates that have demanded their full attention.
I know that releases haven't been as consistent or as bountiful as some of you would have liked this summer, but there are still a number of authoring groups submitting and reviewing new songs, I'm still tracking rights approvals as they come in, and we hope to identify the cause of these server issues soon now that we're back in the office and able to dig in with the Web / LiveOps team. We may have to ping Microsoft for additional support, and we may end up reaching out to registered members of Creators for more information, but we'll keep plugging away until we know more.
Thanks to all the authors and testers for your patience. You can trust that I am equally frustrated seeing these songs sitting in limbo. And thanks as well to the members of the community that are still supporting RBN, asking about new tracks, checking the forums to see what groups are working on, requesting specific artists, purchasing and playing RBN tracks in game, etc. It's great to see that there is still an interest in the community for more RBN content and I hope to have better news for you shortly.
I'll leave this thread open for any questions or comments and will start redirecting other threads here so we can keep everything organized in one place.
Okay, so here's a bit more info for all y'all.
"The Modern Prometheus", "Spark of Life", and "Thirteen", 3 songs that had been stuck in between Creators and the store for quite some time, should all be available for purchase right now. There were a number of issues to resolve, but thanks to the help of 2 Senior Systems administrators, a Software Developer, the Live Ops Director, our VP Online, former RBN lead HMXMisterGame and a partridge in a pear tree, it looks like we've got the kinks ironed out. As members of the RBN Creators community continue to work on new tracks and they make their way through the pipeline, we'll monitor the process to confirm that everything is working as intended so we can avoid further delays like this.
However, "Humanoid" and "Wake Up" are listed in the store as Not Available. Everything looks solid on our end, and the flip we switched to get the other 3 songs pushed through should have worked on these 2 as well. Neither of them are showing up on Xbox.com, so this may be an issue on Microsoft's side, so we're going to reach out to them and the authoring groups for next steps.
Hopefully this gets things back on track for RBN. Thanks to everyone for your continued patience. I'll follow up when I know more about the last 2 tracks stuck in limbo, and as songs progress through the pipeline.

Welcome to Cosmopolitan International!
A Message from the International President ...
It's the season of giving! And staying true to this spirit, Cosmopolitans all over the United States and Canada are giving back in their communities. Not only during this season, but throughout the entire year. Here are just a few of the ways we are touching our communities.
Our Cornbelt Federation of Iowa and Nebraska has been busy the past 6 months raising $50,000 to get a mataching grant for a new mobile diabetes center to replace their old one. This unit goes out into the community and does free diabetic screenings. They have established a partnership with the Nebraska Methodist College of Nursing to staff this.
Our Rockford, IL, Club just completed their annual poinsettia sales. I understand they surpassed last year's goal. They also participated in a local United Way fundraiser where teams of 20 had to pull a UPS Boeing 757 … and our Rockford Cosmo Team won!
The Clubs in the North Central Federation of North Dakota and South Dakota give a teddy bear and a diabetic bracelet to newly diagnosed children in the state.
The Heartland Cosmo Club in the Kansas City area held a pig roast and silent auction where all the proceeds benefited diabetes related projects such as sending kids to a diabetic camp.
The Omaha/Cornhusker Club does an Annual Christmas Party for special needs children in their community. This year they served 160 children and had about 100 adult helpers. Everyone enjoyed a turkey dinner and the children all got a sack full of gifts.
The Aurora, IL, Club is currently raising money to help fund a diabetes assistance dog for a local diabetic child.
I want to take a moment to THANK those that have invested themselves in these and other efforts in our organization to help others. You have been so gracious with your time and talents. The opportunity to give back to all our communities is there every day of the year, not just during this holiday season.
If you are not a member of Cosmopolitan International, I invite you to learn more about us. Explore our website and feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 800.648.4331. We'd love to talk to you!

The Poem (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
"Harlem" is a short, reflective poem, somber in tone, with an ominous, pointedly italicized ending. It appeared originally as the first poem in the last sequence of poems ("Lenox Avenue Mural") in the book Montage of a Dream Deferred. Sometimes Montage of a Dream Deferred has been reprinted in its entirety (as in Hughes's Selected Poems); sometimes "Lenox Avenue Mural" has been reprinted separately; often "Harlem" has been reprinted alone.
The poem can stand alone. Although it is part of a suite of six poems ("Lenox Avenue Mural") and of a book of ninety-one poems (reduced to eighty-seven in Selected Poems), it is self-contained and autonomous. It consists of seven short sentences, the last six of which respond to the opening question, "What happens to a dream deferred?" Of the six responses, all but one are themselves framed as rhetorical questions. The whole of Montage of a Dream Deferred is set in Harlem, yet only two of its ninety-one poems mention Harlem in their titles ("Harlem" and "Night Funeral in Harlem"). Simply being titled "Harlem" gives this particular lyric a special recognition in the sequence.
The "dream deferred" is the long-postponed and, therefore, frustrated dream of African Americans: a dream of freedom, equality, dignity, opportunity, and success. This particular poem does not define or give examples of the dream (many other poems in...

Forms and Devices (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
The most striking features of "Harlem" are the vivid, even startling, metaphors that Hughes introduces as possible answers to the poem's opening question, "What happens to a dream deferred?" Each metaphor could be taken as suggesting a pattern of behavior. Drying "up/ like a raisin in the sun" could refer to the gradual shriveling of a dream or a person, still sweet but wrinkled, desiccated. (Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play, A Raisin in the Sun, ruminates on this sort of response to a dream deferred—taking its title from Hughes's poem.)
To "fester like a sore—/ And then run" suggests something considerably more unappealing—and dangerous—than drying up: a wound not healing. Eventually a limb or a life may be lost. Worse still among its implications is that it will "stink like rotten meat," for now life is gone from the organism entirely and putrefaction has set in. "Stink" is used as an intentionally offensive, vulgar word, suitable for the occasion.
So far there has been a kind of logical progression, from dehydration to localized decay ("fester") to wholesale decomposition, but here the poem takes a surprising turn. To "crust and sugar over—/ like a syrupy sweet" seems anticlimactic at first, after rot; "sugar" and "sweet" recall the concentrated sweetness of a raisin.
Hughes may have been thinking of a false, "syrupy sweet" form of behavior—what Paul Laurence...

Historical Context
Harlem, of this poem's title, is a famous area of New York City that has had one of the country's largest African-American populations since the First World War. In the 1920s it was the setting of a gathering of artists and intellectuals, later known as the Harlem Renaissance because it resembled the European Renaissance's surge in artistic productivity. Key figures in the Harlem Renaissance were Claude McKay, Zora Neale Hurston, Arna Bontemps, Dr. Alain Locke, and Langston Hughes. Since then, Harlem has been a focal point for African-American culture.
In 1951, when "Harlem" was first published, race relations were much different in the United States than they are today. Racism still exists, but there are now laws that can be used to fight against discrimination. Most of these laws were enacted during a period from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, when blacks became impatient with deferring their dreams and whites, especially in the Southern states, resisted the social forces that were pushing for equality. The Civil War ended in 1865, and with its end, slavery became extinct in the United States, but the freed blacks did not receive full citizenship status. In the late 1800s, former slave states passed a series of laws known as Jim Crow laws (after a foolish, child-like Negro character in an 1832 minstrel comedy). These laws made it illegal for blacks to vote, ride public transportation, attend schools with whites, and other functions that would have...

Literary Style
Hughes uses an irregular meter in the lines of "Harlem." That is, he stresses different syllables in each line and varies the length of each line. Together, the varied line lengths and meter create a sense of jagged, nervous energy that reinforces the poem's themes of increasing frustration. In the introduction to Montage, Hughes notes that he models his poetry's rhythms on musical forms such as "jazz, ragtime, swing, blues, boogie-woogie, and bebop." Like these musical genres, he explains, "[the volume] is marked by conflicting changes, sudden nuances, sharp and imprudent interjections, broken rhythms and passages ... in the manner of a jam session."
Several lines rhyme, but there is not a consistent pattern of rhyme. Rhymes occur in lines 3 and 5 (sun, run), 6 and 8 (meat, sweet), and 10 and 11 (load, explode). Hughes may use these rhymes to emphasize the irregular rhythm of the poem or to draw attention to the connections between different ideas, such as "load" and "explode."
The first and last lines are offset from the poem. In line 1, this separation introduces and emphasizes the poem's central question, which is also the volume's central question. The space between this line and the following stanza implies that the answer is unpredictable and perhaps threatening. The second stanza poses four questions in four sentences. By firing one question after another, Hughes builds tension within the poem. The final line is offset and...

Compare and Contrast
1951: The United States was involved in the Korean Conflict to help keep communist North Korea out of South Korea. Fighting ended in a truce in 1953 that established a De-Militarized Zone, but tensions between the two countries continue to this day.
1964-1973: U.S. troops were active in combat in South Vietnam, in an attempt to keep Communist-backed North Vietnam from overtaking the country. In 1973 the U.S. withdrew military support, and South Vietnam was conquered in 1975.
1990: Straining under the weight of an unproductive economy, the Soviet Union, the world's largest Communist country, dissolved.
Today: Communism is not considered a threat to America, with the most stable Communist countries existing being tiny Cuba and isolationist China.
1951: The first nuclear fusion reactor for providing power was built by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
1979: An accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, raised public fear about the safety of nuclear energy.
1986: A radiation leak at a nuclear plant in Chernobyl in the Soviet Union killed an unspecified number of workers (the number is unknown because of the government's secrecy) and made nearby land and houses uninhabitable for years.
Today: Despite the fact that no new nuclear plants have been built since 1978, America gets one fifth of its...

Topics for Further Study
In this poem, Hughes asks what happens to a dream is put on hold, giving a series of possibilities. Write a poem in which you tell readers what does happen to such a dream. Use concrete imagery, as Hughes does, to speak of the dream as a real, tangible object.
Do research on one of the race riots of the mid-1960s, such as the one in Watts (Los Angeles), Chicago and Atlanta. What was the immediate cause? What social conditions led up to the violence? Write a report that explains the situation to your class.
Why is this poem named "Harlem"? What other locations would have had a similar meaning? Name the social events that have occurred since the poem's publication in 1951 that you feel help prove that Hughes's fears were realistic.

What Do I Read Next?
Hughes published several volumes of autobiography in his lifetime: The Big Sea, published in 1963, covers the period in which this poem was written and the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s.
Hughes was also the author, along with Milton Meltzer and C. Eric Lincoln, of a 1956 book titled A Pictorial History of the Negro in America that was reprinted in 1983 as A Pictorial History of Black Americans. The photos in this book give a vivid sense of the times. For instance, the reader can see separate "Colored" facilities at places such as restaurants, movie balconies, and parking lots. Hughes's text reads like a moderate intellectual whose patience is wearing thin.
The title of Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 award-winning play A Raisin in the Sun is of course taken from this poem. The play, which was the first by a black woman to appear on Broadway, dramatizes almost every concern of African Americans in the 1950s.
Aldron Morris's 1984 study The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement: Black Communities Organizing for a Change is one of the most comprehensive and thoroughly documented works about the grassroots organizations that brought black citizens together to defeat institutionalized segregation.
The Shaping of Black America by Lerone Bennett, Jr., first published in 1975 and revised in 1991, has proven to be of lasting value as a quick yet insightful overview.

Plays basketball and football...
ESPN Basketball:
Decided to list him in football because:
From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20110929/...#ixzz1ZMsZbWhdSam Webb: Let's talk about some young guys. Grand Rapids Christian wide receiver Drake Harris is one of the top prospects in the class of 2014 in both football and basketball. He also grew up a Michigan State fan. How do the Spartans stack up with him with him at this point?
Allen Trieu: I went out to see him recently and going into the game people around Grand Rapids were telling me that he was just as good, maybe a better football prospect than he was basketball. I went in taking that with a grain of salt, but I came out of it seeing what everybody was talking about it. He is a high BCS-caliber football prospect with good size, speed, athleticism. He has everything you would want in a receiver prospect. He definitely can play either sport or both in college potentially. It just so happened that the night I was out there that Tom Izzo was there also. Drake and his dad have both said that Michigan State has told him that he could play both sports. In fact they told him he should play both sports. On a recent visit to Michigan State he got a chance to talk to Coach Dantonio and some of the other football coaches. Michigan State sits in really good position for him. He is a kid like Matt Trannon a few years back who could be a wide receiver and contributor on the basketball team also.

The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the MindIn this enlightening book James Boyle describes what he calls the range wars of the information age�today�s heated battles over intellectual property. Boyle argues that just as every informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment or civil rights, every citizen should also understand intellectual property law. Why? Because intellectual property rights mark out the ground rules of the information society, and today�s policies�are unbalanced, unsupported by evidence, and often detrimental to cultural access, free speech, digital creativity, and scientific innovation. � Boyle identifies as a major problem the widespread failure to understand the importance of the public domain�the realm of material that everyone is free to use and share without permission or fee. The public domain is as vital to innovation and culture as the realm of material protected by intellectual property rights, he asserts, and he calls for a movement akin to the environmental movement to preserve it. With a clear analysis of issues ranging from Jefferson�s philosophy of innovation to musical sampling, synthetic biology and Internet file sharing, this timely book brings a positive new perspective to important cultural and legal debates. If we continue to enclose the �commons of the mind,� Boyle argues, we will all be the poorer.� |

Have already done that, but going to try again. Should I have both cards plugged in when I'm installing the Forceware drivers or do one at a time or something?
I'm using the latest Bios for my board(0602), i didn't install intel chipset drivers, i'm probably using the drivers that already come with windows 7 for that. I don't have surround, only two screens... One thing you can try is disabling desktop composition and visual themes in the compatibility tab for the aplication you want to run. It's an long shot^^
crashdump on a single card duel gpu ok i have done my best to read all issues ppl have had that sounds like my issue, but I cant seem to resolve my crash issue I have a asus crosshair 4 with a amd 1100t black, video card is a gtx 460 2 win it is 2 460's in one card, but still has to be in sli for both to work. I have done a bio flash, I have tried drivers 280 and up with a clean install and drivesweeper eatch time. It seems everytime I try bf3 I crash, but now it does it at random times when I have hypersli on, with out playing a game seems its made the pc unstable. with that said I can Play anygame with slipach and drivers 280 with out a hitch only game that has a issue is bf3 and the game it self just crashes no blue screen. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a mill to anatolymik for the new patch!
Since hyper-sli doesn´t work for me, as it should, I have installed the sli patch 1.5. I'd like to play Battlefield 3 but the game keeps crashing after some seconds while playing (285.38 driver). Anatolymik, is it possible to make or bring out some new modded drivers for the sli patch 1.5? Maybe from 285.62 up to latest 285.79 beta? Thanks in advance.
I have: Motherboard: Asus P5Q Deluxe and i want to use: SLI Asus GeForce GTX 560 DirectCU II OC 1GB GDDR5 I can work with HiperSLI fine? Thanks.
to p67 platform owners, p8p67 for example: 2 slots 1x, 2 slots 16x (16x slots work in modes 16-4 or 16-1. black slot can work 4x mode only when pci-e 1x slots free with disabled usb 3.0) make sure you have slots working at least 16-4 mode. you can do it with gpu-z
ok went with new bios on mb, cleaned all drivers for nvidia with clean sweep in safe mode. installed nvidia driver 280.19 then hypersli all games work great bf3 is the only issue and it isnt bootcrashing anymore so i think bf3 needs a patch is all. thanks for the hard work on hypersly anatolymik!
I have got green flashing in all games with 285.79, hypersli 0.7 and sli on. Please I need help! My System: Rampage Formula X48 and 2 8800GT

What is AIDET: Five Fundamentals of Patient Communication?
At PeaceHealth Southwest we like to use a powerful communication tool called AIDET to help enhance our patient experience. When interacting with patients, gaining trust is essential for obtaining patient compliance and improving clinical outcomes. AIDET is a simple acronym that represents how we can gain this trust and communicate with people who are nervous, anxious, and feeling vulnerable.
Thank You
A - Acknowledge:
Whether you acknowledge patients by name or with a friendly smile, patients know that you have connected with them. Acknowledgment includes putting down paperwork and making the patient your focus. Eye contact, a pat on the shoulder, and a smile are all non-verbal ways of acknowledging a patient or family member.
I - Introduce:
Introduce yourself by name, state your department, and describe what you are going to do. "Good morning, Mr. Jones. My name is Mary, and I am here to start your IV. I am part of the special IV team at the hospital, and I will do everything to make this as comfortable as possible for you."
D - Duration:
Give an estimate of the time it will take to complete the procedure. "It should take me only about 15 minutes to register you." "The chest X-ray should take only about 10 minutes. However, I would ask that you stay here in the room so I can run the film through processing and make sure that I got a good, clear picture. That should add about another 20 minutes and then you should be able to go. We will have the results to your physician's office by three this afternoon."
E - Explanation:
Explain what you are going to do to or for the patient. Ask if the patient has ever had this X-ray done before or lab work drawn before. Ask if the patient has any concerns or questions before you start or any information that may make the testing easier. Explain, explain, explain—all along the way. As the technologist, you may do this procedure many times a day. For the patient it may be the only time he or she has ever experienced it. If it is going to hurt, let the patient know. We also can integrate patient safety into the discussion. For example, before drawing blood, the phlebotomist can say, "For your safety, I am going to check the test label against your ID wrist band."
T-Thank You:
Thank the patient for choosing PeaceHealth Southwest to have the test or treatment done. If the patient is an inpatient ask, "Is there anything else I can do for you?" or, "Do you have any questions I can answer?"

"Imagine that I am a Teacher": Pedagogy as Possibility in Roland Barthes
Tyler T. Schmidt, Assistant Professor, Department of English
What usable models of teaching does Roland Barthes offer today's professor? Drawing on Barthes' most recent posthumous publications, How to Live Together and The Preparation of the Novel, which offer illuminating, detailed documentation of Barthes' teaching practices, this talk examines these texts as both curriculum maps and pedagogical statements, exploring not only how knowledge is organized in these lectures and seminars, but how the performance of "teacher" is structured in these texts. This presentation will venture possible answers to the following queries about pedagogy: As critical educators, what can we learn from Barthes' academic practice of notation (of life, of texts)? How does he reconceive the format of the lecture in ways we might emulate? Which of his teaching protocols are most adaptable and attractive to our own seminars that are constituted in very different institutions with very different students?
LECTURE 5: Wednesday, March 26, 2014, 12:30- 2PM, Music room 313
"Diversity and Corporate Cosmopolitanism in the Workforce of a Global Magazine Publishing Company"
Nicholas Boston, Assistant Professor, Department of Journalism, Communication and Theatre
Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted at and around the New York headquarters of a major global magazine publishing company between September 2008 and October 2009, this paper explores discourses and practices of diversity in workforce hiring in the glossy magazine industry.
LECTURE 6: Wednesday, April 30, 2014, 12:30- 2PM, Music room 313
"Women Writers and the Canon:Valeria Miani and Isabetta Coreglia"
Alexandra Coller, Assistant Professor, Department of Languages and Literatures
This lecture investigates two newly rediscovered female-authored pastoral dramas, forthcoming in The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe Series (Toronto), edited and translated by Alexandra Coller: Valeria Miani's Amorosa speranza (Venice: Francesco Bolzetta, 1604), and Isabetta Coreglia, La Dori (Naples: Gio. Domenico Montanaro, 1634). The plays will be analyzed within the context of pastoral drama, that is, the canonical production of Torquato Tasso's Aminta (1581) and Giovanni Battista Guarini's Pastor fido (1589), the less well-known examples of Francesco Bracciolini, Francesco Contarini, and Muzio Manfredi, as well as against the backdrop of the more widely acclaimed pastorals of Isabella Andreini [Mirtilla, 1588], Maddalena Campiglia [Flori, 1588], and Barbara Torelli [Partenia, ms., comp. c. 1587].
As such, Miani's and Coreglia's early seventeenth-century plays attest to what Coller describes as the "fourth" generation of pastoral dramatic writing in Italy and the "second" generation of female-authored pastoral drama on the continent.
What can these female-authored dramatic works teach us about imitative and revisionist practices, the "negotiation" between canonical and non-canonical texts, as well as their own claims to originality?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 18,000 Australians, but the disease is still a puzzle to scientists.
The Macquarie Group Foundation, together with the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) will today announce a three year Macquarie Group Foundation PhD Scholarship which will enable a young Hunter researcher to explore the role that genes play in the development of MS.
The HMRI Macquarie Group Foundation PhD Student in Information Based Medicine has been awarded to Mathew Cox from the University of Newcastle who is part of Dr Jeannette Lechner-Scott's MS research group at John Hunter Hospital.
"There are a lot of questions about MS but we do know that genes play a significant role," said Mr Cox.
He will examine 180 DNA samples provided by people with MS who live in the Hunter and throughout northern NSW and will then compare the results to samples from people without MS.
"By examining how the genes in our cells are expressed in MS patients compared to people without MS, we aim to determine differences in gene expression which may be involved in the development in MS.
"The identification of genes involved in the development of MS may lead to a better understanding the disease, help identify risk factors, and improve diagnosis and treatments."
Head of the Macquarie Group Foundation, Julie White, said: "The Macquarie Group Foundation has supported health research in Australia for more than 25 years. We are thrilled to be providing Mathew with a scholarship that will allow him and the Hunter Medical Research Institute to conduct pioneering scientific work in this important disease category."
HMRI is a partnership between Hunter New England Health, the University of Newcastle and the community.
Media opportunity - Monday 8th September 2008
Time: 9.45am for a 10am start
Where: Meet at the information desk in the foyer of John Hunter Hospital
Vision opportunities: Mathew Cox working in the laboratory; colourful images of gene expressions; Mathew Cox with Vicki Woods and Macquarie Group Foundation representatives.
Interview opportunities: Mathew Cox (HMRI Macquarie Group Foundation PhD Researcher in Information Based Medicine), Vicki Woods (a hotelier, Maitland Councillor and MS Society ambassador who lives with multiple sclerosis) and Julie White (Macquarie Group Foundation).

Storage until you're writing a book I am yeah yeah I've got a book idealist Simon and Schuster it's due in August I -- get cracking on it.
And I want to tell the story of Broadway in New York City in the late sixties and early seventies when -- -- was falling apart.
Virtually bankrupt oil and as you know the city was was literally bankrupt.
And were -- guys who came together back then and they saved Broadway they saved the theaters the political -- -- schubert's fall the near Landers.
And in so doing they helped lift the fortunes of Broadway Times Square and ultimately New York City because today Broadway is a multi billion dollar global business which shows like we did in Jersey boys in cats.
But back in the late sixties it was an industry that was on its last legs -- around -- Now I mean the whole listen rock and roll had kicked in so that kind of destroyed the great American musical theater.
The city was was was dangerous Times Square was dangerous so they lost half their audience in the sixties.
The red white flight back then went all the white people in the city were fleeing the city -- not coming in anymore.
So it was a real treacherous dangerous time and I'm fascinated by on how empires are built.
And today Broadway is one of the most important economic engines of Broadway.
That was -- Times Square was -- background.
Ethnic and -- at a restaurant or some memories of that -- Mickey Mouse and tourists now well that's the you're actually right about that there's the flip side of all this.
Which is that it has been it -- -- -- and -- from my money I think that the shows are not too oriented towards kids.
So you've lost -- -- the really great American musical.
Things like My Fair Lady carousel these -- shows for adults written by adults for adults now it's all for for kids so I think I think you have a good point -- we've gone too far.
So -- get a few more drug dealers and prostitutes paring back neighborhood we could swing it back the way -- Else caught thought there was some don't want to -- -- rocket vigils on American anyone in America owes the American individual for kids there well -- were recent shows another for their for Smart kids and and adults -- that kind of music -- rock -- -- is.
Not the greatest show in the world but American idiot -- a very Smart sophisticated -- rock musical a -- twice.
Sort of more replies on the ground I mean how many -- you -- see Beauty and the -- Little Mermaid.
-- -- -- -- -- Every little -- rest -- talking there.
Cheesy elements are limited because everything like those are black case president Donald Michael -- that are about it doesn't have much of last season of -- -- -- and I was there it was really lame -- -- this last full.
And I resolve this by New Year's resolution to attack.
Viciously and without quarter.
Every bad broadly show and cost producers who put on these shows millions of dollars each anything coming up government decision -- out there are couple things 1000 -- new news usually start.
It starts right now -- -- you know after Christmas cakes and -- that -- am looking forward to is that -- -- that Nora -- wrote before she died.
Tom -- are isn't it it's called lucky guy and -- -- about the old newspaper columnist Mike Mack Terry.
A human problem -- our -- -- -- Omar -- at from the daily news in the post.
And I am old enough to have gotten the newspaper racket -- Mike Bakalar and a Kinky Friedman friend.
I don't know he's been passing away for a -- -- Apollo fifteen years PLO at least fifteen you know I don't stuff the government debt.
But you got caught the tail end of you remember when newspapers had those great New York columnist Sharon voice of New York else -- as Lian.
-- Matt Chapman all those guys are actually great and in fact out.
Propaganda for the holiday season -- -- now.
We appreciate this this is -- Deadline artists scandals tragedies and triumphs more of America's greatest newspaper columns.
It's a collection of all the great newspaper -- all agree camel Art Buchwald.
-- the Larry Mike Barnicle and Michael Eagles in this too.
What -- like this is via a fish net interest and it'll of that well as very and are subject doesn't it is terribly.
Mike -- once.
Appointed attached to haven't weasel -- -- appetite article what are you gonna be the worst person on earth and they've Bernard.
I'm going to buy a minority got -- -- and George carlin's stuff.
Negative stuff for his column where I remember when yet their career we view and then after you picked a mocking his pick remotely know what always you become bigger what we got fired and MSNBC.
A or any and -- you wouldn't commodity.
Want to -- -- -- are things so they were letting him oh is taking -- -- networks and that but to point well I don't accord was -- de -- 01 of the few people who stood by him.
And I was -- -- number but -- I remember clearly -- And -- when you and it's probably didn't stand by you.
And we we did and so we went on to a fox.
Well is -- what he's political things he's again I suggest -- really works for the competition.
Tells us Tom Paxton Arafat that is -- -- -- hello.
-- and out supply and and Tom plays Mike Michael -- and it's about you know Mac Larry had some trouble toward the end of his life you may remember that he.
He did a column in which a woman who said she'd been raped he said -- made it up for political reasons and he was wrong about that.
And so deals -- that and also deals with.

Corbett, Cawley Inaugurated
Republican Tom Corbett (pictured here) was sworn in Tuesday afternoon as Pennsylvania's 46th governor. In his inaugural address, he pledged to work for reform.
"I will honor your trust by standing firm in my guiding principle to do the right thing for the right reasons, even in the most challenging of times, and I will dedicate each and every day over the next four years to fiscal discipline and a responsible, limited government."
Corbett said the state has been spending too much, and individual acts of corruption have eroded the public's trust in state government. He pledged to restore that trust through legislative and governmental reform. Former Bucks County Commissioner Jim Cawley took his oath of office as lieutenant governor earlier in the day and promised a business-friendly administration.
"If we provide the proper environment, business and manufacturing in this state will once again be hiring and putting Pennsylvania workers back to work. Jobs are our number-one priority."
Cawley said they will renew a positive relationship with business and manufacturing.

Chicken Salad with Oranges and Olives
I read voraciously and ate just as heartily. Especially oranges in winter. I could not get enough of them.
Even with winter out and spring officially here (yes! finally!) I crave oranges. So when I found this little salad with oranges and olives, it sounded perfect. The original recipe, from the collection at Epicurious calls for canned tuna. But I roasted a whole chicken on Sunday and I thought I'd prefer it my way.
It would have been even better if I'd remembered all the ingredients. I bought fresh parsley and then forgot it. I remade the salad the next night, added the parsley and really enjoyed it.
Chicken Salad With Oranges, Olives and Red Peppers
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 seedless oranges, peel and white pith removed
1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
two boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1/4 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 cups mixed salad greens
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Blend oil, vinegar and garlic in large bowl. Peel and slice oranges, removing membranes. Toss into bowl, adding other ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with almonds.
I've learned to love the contrast and balance of olives with citrus. I added a dash of red pepper to give this salad a bit more bite.

That looks perfectly divine. I very much like the chicken but think some left over fish of any kind would be terrific also. And I'd probably put it on a bed of baby spinach which is what's in my frige!
- 21 March, 2007 13:55
Just reading the title of this post caused a Pavlovian reaction, Mimi. Sounds delicious! If you do the tuna version sometime, use imported tuna packed in olive oil. And don't drain the tuna--add it to the salad and cut back on the olive oil you add.

I am being inspired by oranges, too. But it's because I want to try to make chocolate witches. :)
Did you ever try making macarons? I know you mentioned them to me once, but I couldn't find them on your blog. - 21 March, 2007 14:41
- Mimi said...
I think it would be great with tuna, or even shrimp, Tanna. !es, spinach!
Thanks, Terry B, I like that idea!
Laura, what are chocolate witches?
I make macarons, but not at all like Laduree's! I never had time to make them - but I did intend to. - 21 March, 2007 14:44
I roasted a chicken on Sunday and made an almost identical salad with the leftovers for lunch yesterday, just about the only difference is that I used kalamata olives. Spring is definitely in the air. I love oranges too!
From Mary at www.ceresandbacchus.com, for some reason blogger doesn't link my name in lately. Again with the technical problems. - 21 March, 2007 14:49

Love the contrast of colors and textures here. Olives and citrus are a natural combination, yet we rarely find them together on menus. I like to throw some blue cheese into the mix, too.
- 21 March, 2007 15:44
- Mimi said...
Hmm, I've got a jar of Kalamatas, too, Mary, I could have tried them. next time for certain! I;m sorry about Blogger...
Toni, I am trying to live on this stuff - I made another interesting salad today.
Blue cheese sounds like a good addition — I was loking for something nippy, Lydia. - 21 March, 2007 15:58
- Blame It on Paris said...
I saw your comment on my site, so I guess you know what chocolate witches are now. :) I THINK they are okay for dieters, all that orange has to be healthy, right?

What a beautiful salad, Mimi. My kind of food!

Laura, I see a chocolate witch salad there somewhere! Nuts, oranges. . .
Christine, I am becoming a better and more informed eater, thanks to you!
Patricia, I thought this salad needed something to spice it up - suggestions? - 22 March, 2007 09:11
You are making my mouth water again Mimi, Christine does it too!

Wednesday Roundup: Do Feed the Animals; Waffle Anniversary and a World-Traveling Dog
Ask a Curator: Want to know what goes into creating all those exhibits at the Smithsonian museums? Want to connect with curators from museums abroad? Next Wednesday, September 1, museums around the world are teaming up for "Ask a Curator Day," a Twitter-hosted forum for all those burning curatorial questions you've been holding back. Participating Smithsonian Museums include the Freer and Sackler Galleries of Art, the African Art Museum, the Hirshhorn and the National Postal Museum.
Waffle Week: Make no mistake about it—as their name would suggest, Belgian waffles are, indeed, Belgian in origin. The American stovetop waffle iron, however, has its roots a bit closer to home, in Troy, New York, where, on August 24, 1869, Cornelius Swarthout was awarded the first patent for the household appliance. The Smithsonian Libraries blog honors National Waffle Day with a short history of the waffle iron, a tragically under-celebrated milestone. Here's how a restaurant in Albany, New York, is commemorating the occasion.
It Takes a Village. . . To feed the National Zoo's 2,000 animals. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the Zoo's commissary. Watch how Zoo nutritionists prepare food for all of the zoo's animals, some 400 species, creating a diet of fresh produce uniquely tailored to each critter's health requirements. (The Zoo's commissary recalls the kitchen in my college dining hall.)
Carnival of the Blue: Kudos to the Ocean Portal Blog, which was featured on this month's Carnival of the Blue, a monthly roundup of some of the best blogging about marine issues and environments on the Web. This roundup was hosted by Arthropoda, and includes posts on everything from jellyfish to dogfish, and from swimming with whale sharks to evading molluscan hordes.
Talk About Covering a Lot of Ground: There once was a dog named Owney, who traveled the world on a. . . steamship! According to Pushing the Envelope, the well-traveled pup, Owney (who began riding mail trains with US Railway Post Office clerks in the 1880s) was the participant in a 1895 publicity stunt. According to the post, "Owney visited Kobe, Japan, Hong Kong, and switched to the British steamer Port Phillip that carried him to Shanghai, Singapore, the Suez, Algiers and finally New York City." Owney's trip around the world took 132 days.

Air Force Academy also on the list at #35
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- When it comes to making that big decision of where to attend school, Colorado College is near the top of the list.
The college ranking 29th in Forbes' annual list of America's Top Colleges.
"I have a lot of friends at big public universities, and they have a hard time getting classes and aren't doing one-on-one dinners with their professors," Kelly Varian, a senior at Colorado College, said.
The rankings based on five general categories including: post graduate success, debt and a four-year graduation rate.
Despite the college's top 30 spot, CC officials are not touting their success or putting the information on their website.
"Honestly what I needed in regards of college was not a lot of distractions," Johnny Reed, a senior at Colorado College, said.
CC is letting their numbers do the talking with an 82.9 percent four-year graduation rate and the largest application period ever with 5,500 people applying for 500 spots.
But its popularity hasn't changed their mindset that rankings shouldn't be the deciding factor, just a starting point. The college was ranked 51 on the same list in 2010.
The Air Force Academy was ranked 35th on the list in 2012, which is down from 10th last year and 11th in 2010.

Monger vs Maker
November 18, 2010 - 6:19pm | by LassaIn my last blog, I talked about what it is to be a cheesemonger, one of the more loved (and laughed at) titles that I've ever had the pleasure of using in my professional life. This blog, as promised, is about the difference between a cheesemonger and a cheesemaker. Based on the question I get often ("What kind of cheese do you make?"), I am sure that it must be made clear that these things are NOT the same.
Quite simply, a cheesemonger sells cheese. A cheesemaker makes cheese. And that's really the difference. One is there at the birthing and the other is there just prior to the hand off to the happy cheese consumer.
But there is more to say on this because they are interdependent folks and need each other to survive. Without the cheesemaker, the cheesemonger has nothing to sell. Without the monger, the maker is in serious trouble. Mutual respect and a healthy, in depth understanding and communication with one another is what leads to success for each profession.

The Federal Government established the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program on August 29, 1954. It is the largest group life insurance program in the world, covering over 4 million Federal employees and retirees, as well as many of their family members.
Most employees are eligible for FEGLI coverage. FEGLI provides group term life insurance. As such, it does not build up any cash value or paid-up value. It consists of Basic life insurance coverage and three options. In most cases, if you are a new Federal employee, you are automatically covered by Basic life insurance and your payroll office deducts premiums from your paycheck unless you waive the coverage. In addition to the Basic, there are three forms of Optional insurance you can elect. You must have Basic insurance in order to elect any of the options. Unlike Basic, enrollment in Optional insurance is not automatic -- you must take action to elect the options.
The cost of Basic insurance is shared between you and the Government. You pay 2/3 of the total cost and the Government pays 1/3. Your age does not affect the cost of Basic insurance. You pay the full cost of Optional insurance, and the cost depends on your age.
The Office of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (OFEGLI), which is a private entity that has a contract with the Federal Government, processes and pays claims under the FEGLI Program.
The FEGLI Calculator allows you to determine the face value of various combinations of FEGLI coverage; calculate premiums for the various combinations of coverage; see how choosing different Options can change the amount of life insurance and the premium withholdings; and see how the life insurance carried into retirement will change over time.

In the spirit of theonedub and manofthem and others paying it forward... I'm giving away Crysis Maximum Edition after finally finishing the tasty treats they call Crysis and Crysis Warhead. The box comes with a lot: ... codes are behind the DVDs Catch is this: I will pay for shipping, so I will only ship to the lower 48. I can't ship internationally from work. Will go UPS media mail or parcel post. I don't care where you live, as long as shipping is to the lower 48. So the rules are this: You have to have been a TPU member for more than 2 months, with more than 20 posts. If you have or have already played both of the games, please don't enter. Shipping address must be in the lower 48 (US) To enter, post why you'd like the game(s)! Extra points for making me LOLz I plan on chosing the winner either at my discretion or using random.org, and plan to close/choose on Tues, July 31st 2012, 10:00 PM eastern. I reserve the right to change the rules or cancel or simply change my mind for any or no apparent reason. Hey, it's completely free, so don't complain. Good luck...
You shouldn't ship them to me because I've played both of them (although I don't own either) and because my PC isn't powerful enough to play them (and likely won't be for a long time, barring a miracle/job). But I would appreciate the gesture.
I would like it because Crysis is still one of the highest graphical standards I have seen and because I have always heard that it is better than the second one (which I have played about half through) and it would be a great place for me to start the series so that I can be ready when Crysis 3 eventually (if ever) is released. Also Well son them bulldozers are great but "can it run Crysis".
Very awesome of you Sasqui!! Crysis was the better game IMO: amazing visuals still, more open, better voice acting, and just more fun IMO. But Warhead is definitely good too, i did like the ending, better than Crysis' ending... Regardless, it'll be quite a treat for whomever wins this!
The first really did set the gold standard. You know it's a good game, when you stare off into space at work daydreaming about playing it. True!
im too poor to buy any games. i literally worked like a mexican and cut my friends grass in order for him to buy me bf3
So time is running out... need more entries. There must be more people out there who haven't played one or the other and are interested?
I like the game cause in what other FPS game can you take a break from ownage to go swimming (work on your backstroke) in.
I just checked and we don't have customs papers here at work, I'd have to run over to the post office.
Id like to get this one, especially since it has the whole package. I still have yet to play Crysis, only the demo gave me memories of once running this game at a playable fps. But STILL strains all systems to their knees. Metro 2033 is even worse than this looking at recent GPU benchmarks from w1z, but were talking 4 years later. Hope I'm still not too late for this The LOLmaker: Ok, so...3 guys walk into a bar, a white guy, a black guy, and a spanish guy..............actually.......I can't lol sorry
I fit the criteria perfectly!!!!! And its 9:58!!!! I would love to have this game because of the epicness of its legacy, its sheer graphical awesomeness, which even now hasn't been surpassed; as well as the ability to kill things with flying turtles. (I've also never won any game contest ever. But don't factor that in your decision.)
Hi Y'all, got wound up in some other things and travelling today, hope to announce a winner tonight. Will accept more entries in the meantime and thanks to all who've replied so far.
And the winner is... Picked by http://www.random.org/lists/ is... 1. happita I'll be sending a PM for your address.
