Anthony Jeselnik tells jokes that take guts. In a voice that's faintly evocative of a young Christopher Walken, the Pittsburgh native builds his act on the traditional framework of premise, set-up, and punchline. Of course, the same thing could be said of comedians writ large, but most also incorporate several other skills—storytelling, riffing, crowd interaction—as tools to cushion the blow from the occasional failed bit. Staring into the teeth of consternation over your latest breast-cancer joke, armed with nothing but more of the same? That's ballsy. To further add to the derring-do, the former Late Night with Jimmy Fallon monologue writer doesn't just hit hot buttons, he batters them into submission. To call him edgy impugns the moral rectitude of the edge. Jeselnik seems happiest when the risk of an audience member throwing a shoe at him is the highest. But don't linger after the show looking for apologies if your sensibilities are bruised; Jeselnik's cock-of-the-walk stage persona comes very naturally to him, suggesting that it could be a long wait. This unrepentant swagger has also made Jeselnik the latest darling of Comedy Central's dais, where he represents the nation's best hope for reducing the redundancy of roasting Charlie Sheen. 18+.

Google loses Latitude in Maps app shake-up
Google is rolling out an upgrade to its Android Maps app that redesigns local search, and adds dynamic traffic reports along with a partnership with reviewers at Zagat. But this comes with a cost; Latitude is being abruptly shut down 30 days from now, and Google says that "The offline maps feature for Android is also no longer …
So offline maps are off (at least in their previous form), ditto we lose custom maps and to top it off latitude is gone.
I use all of them professionally and they sure will be missed.
Custom maps to share business trip details to all team members who arrive from different locations.
Latitude for knowing in real time where all my team members (and family) are and offline maps for obvious reasons.
And no, no amount of nudging, cajoling or threatening will make me join +. I'm sick of the constant deprivation of features for non + members.
Re: B0rked
I'm also miffed at Latitude's dissappearance. It is useful to find people, especially those asking for directions while driving. And as you, I won't ever join + and keep losing Google features every now and then.
Re: B0rked
If those people you're helping all switch to + you still won't? Why's it matter which of their services owns your data?
Re: B0rked
I don't know what the hell this 'Latitude' of which you speak is. Offline maps disappearing? Grr. I use it in places like Devon (poor signal) or France (too expensive to use data)- on home territory I don't need any maps. Apparently, the Google engineers weren't happy about it it either, and so it maps can still be cached by typing 'okay maps' into the search box. (I haven't upgraded or tested this myself).
I tried to set my old man up on Open Maps on his tablet, but he was mistrustful after a vector error placed a lake over a road and town in Italy.
The offline maps feature for Android is also no longer available
I guess the NSA only pays for live location data on people?
Re: B0rked @JDX
Because google having my data (which are all fictitious since my account was opened back when you could have any username you liked) is one thing. Forcing me to have a public profile and insisting that not only do I effectively publish my data but I have to do this under my own name (or a real-looking one anyway).
In fact if there really was no difference do you think google would persist with the "switch to g+" palaver instead of migrating every one to the new service? The only reason is that the T&C's are incompatible.
Re: B0rked
I tried the 'OK Maps' thing on the new app to get offline maps and it kept directing me to Oklahoma. Quite possibly I was doing it wrong though.
Re: B0rked
"I tried to set my old man up on Open Maps..."
Are you the Cerne Abbas Giant?
Devon was the clue...
Same bluddy thing
I now have a sodding map of Oklahoma. Is there actually anyone carrying out overall planning at Google, or is it all "do the clever thing you just thought up"?
The Giant
...isn't he in Dorset?
Re: B0rked
What's worse is that the Latitude API is gone too, with no replacement... bye bye 3rd party location support.
I wouldn't mind using G+ for location, but now my n900 will not be able to update position anymore (worked fine with Latitude and the excellent Zaploc tool)
And it looks like there are no obvious alternatives....
Re: B0rked
I really can't decide which is worse:
* The likes of Google pulling bait-and-switch operations;
* People running businesses which rely on the likes of Google not pulling bait-and-switch operations;
* People putting up with the likes of Google pulling bait-and-switch operations;
* Smug gits crowing "It's free, what did you expect?" when people get upset about the likes of Google pulling bait-and-switch operations.
* The percentage of those affected who dismissed what RMS originally said about exactly this when he said it, as though they somehow never expected it to come true.
OK Maps - Oklahomans will be pissed....
Of course, now any Oklahomans who need to search for their local maps will be pissed...
But seriously: Losing locally cached maps is STUPID - indeed, I want to see Google allow MORE caching; my phone has 6G of internal storage (in addition to the SD), and I know my N800 could store the entire US in under 3G, so let me cache however much I want to you idiots!.
That's especially useful for allowing me to have navigation in the UK until I get where I am going and pick up my local SIM.
Re: B0rked
"The offline maps feature for Android is also no longer available"
All in the name of monetizing a service.
This is clearly a monopoly in action.
They use their ad revenue to get in to the map business and knock out any competition. They then reduce the service to being online only so that they can capture your information which they use to charge more for ads because they are better able to target you.
They force you into + so that they can get more information about you.
Step by step... you are being driven on to google owned sites.
Pretty soon, you wont have the internet, but googlenet.
@Metrognome... Re: B0rked @JDX
"Because google having my data (which are all fictitious since my account was opened back when you could have any username you liked) is one thing."
Uhm you do realize that Google has had the ability to take your fake information and tie it to your real information, right?
Re: @Metrognome... B0rked @Ian
Absolutely! I harbour no such illusions. The thing is though that's for Google to know. Under G+ it would be publicly accessible to all and sundry.
"The offline maps feature for Android is also no longer available."
Oh FFS. Do Google realise that people want to do more than drive a mile to Starbucks?
Re: "The offline maps feature for Android is also no longer available."
> Oh FFS. Do Google realise that people want to do more than drive a mile to Starbucks?
Of course they do. And they want to track you every inch of the way.
Re: "The offline maps feature for Android is also no longer available."
Well, except the article says "Currently users can download maps of cities and location and cache them on the phone for offline perusal. With the new app, users select a map area (be it city, borough, or neighborhood,) and save a street map of that locale."
So it sounds like you can still have off-line.
Re: "The offline maps feature for Android is also no longer available."
"Do Google realise that people want to do more than drive a mile to Starbucks?"
Considering that it's been years that people have been asking for multi-waypoint routing on Mobile, to enable longer road trips to be planned (think US-66), and that Google has yet to implement this feature that they've had on the Web version all those years, no, I think that Google only considers short trips to places where the user can be a good little consumer in their use-case planning.
You are the Product.... Just accept it
Google wants to know everything about you 24/7. Where you are, who your friends are, where you shop.
This is just so that they can target you with frigging ADVERTS.
Oh look, you are near Starbucks. You went to one last month so why not pop in now. Turn left at the next set of lights.
Once upon a time, google had a saying 'Do no Evil'. IMHO, this was consigned to the trashcan a good few years ago.
Once you sign up to G+ then you are theirs, lock stock and ad revenue.
I have to admit that the offline feature was useful in areas where there is NO 2G let alone 3G signal. The Googlers in their ivory towers seem to forget that you may need a map when you are somethere strange like out in the middle of nowhere?
For that you get an Eadon like fail.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
You do realise it was a totally free service and you have absolutely no right to complain if they turn it off?
You're the kind of person who I could buy a drink for every night in the pub, and then when one day I tell you I won't buy you any more, bad-mouths me to your friends.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
Your analogy would make more sense if rather than you buying me a free drink you got paid for me being seen drinking your drink. Their whole business model revolves around "free" services and I'm positive they're not a charity.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
People say good things about Nokia's offline maps. Anyone here care to recommend a good offline Android map app?
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
Google never made any money off of latitude. That was part of their problem, they are NOT a charity but for some reason they allow idiots like you to treat them like one.
I for one am glad to see that they are taking all you freetards off your free lunch and actually asking you to contribute something (even if it is your eyes to advert) for their work. As a developer, his analogy was perfect. You freetards want all your software for free, with no ads or anything to support the devs that made it.
Just ridiculous.
@ joekhul
I don't have a problem with ad supported services, as long as the ads aren't too intrusive (content-obscuring Flash rollovers and frantically animated gifs are just stupid), but what I do have a big problem with is being profiled, analysed, probed for weaknesses and psychological vulnerabilities in order to be manipulated into buying something I normally wouldn't.
I'm not so arrogant as to believe I am immune to psychological suggestion or manipulation carried out by professionals who have spent years studying the workings of the human mind and how to exploit them. I know I wouldn't stand a chance against someone like, say, Derren Brown. I am aware that I have vulnerabilities and I try to protect myself as best I can - by avoiding exposure to the kind of manipulative profiling carried out by the likes of Google and Facebook as much as possible.
Unfortunately that means I have to use things like Adblock to protect myself - even though I would like to allow Google-style text-only or still-image advertising if it supported the sites I enjoy. But only if said advertising is generic and not predicated upon cataloguing and exploiting my weaknesses.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
You do realise it was a totally free service and you have absolutely no right to complain if they turn it off?
No, no, NO. Google products are NOT free. You pay for them with personal details, which means you pay continuously. Personally I think it's time that sort of misleading crap gets flagged up properly - your personal data has a value too, so the word "free" simply doesn't apply.
If a Google product was free it would not require a login associated with agreeing to a privacy policy so questionable that half the EU is now investigating them for breaking Data Protection laws.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it @joekhul and JDX
Ah, but that's where you are wrong.
I already pay G for storage space and I would jump at the chance to pay a modest (which it usually is with Google) sub to remove all tracking let me own my data and allow me to use the services with some semblance of an SLA.
It is the same analogy to receiving the BBC over satellite in Europe. I know a ton of people that would love to pay the license fee in exchange for a advert free tv experience but it is not on the table.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
@Dave 126: Try Copilot or Navfree.
Re: @ joekhul
I *am* so arrogant as to believe I am immune to psychological suggestion or manipulation.
I regularly try test this out, usually finding that I'm wrong.
One good example was long ago, back when there was paper mail. Surveys were common, (Way back, before web tracers, before cookies, when dial-up modems were used.) I would ignore them. Then I got one with a crisp new dollar bill enclosed. Out of a sense of obligation, I filled it out. It took more than a dozen before I figured out that I had been expertly manipulated. I wouldn't have worked 20 minutes for $1, or given a marketing person that information for 100x that much. But they found a way how to make people feel obligated. And I feel for it. Repeatedly. And felt guilty for a while after I stopped.
I managed, just barely, to avoid falling for similar feelings of obligation when charities started sending free return address labels and free Christmas cards.
What about the 'Social Networking' epidemic, where every new company would try to boost their user count by secretly sending email in your name to everyone in your address book? 'Authorized' by a clause on page 51 of their terms and conditions. I fell for the 'personal' invitation from someone I trusted, and was saved only because I don't use the same password everywhere. Over the new few weeks I found that thousands of my friends and almost-friends were not so careful.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
"@Dave 126: Try Copilot or Navfree."
I've used Navfree, and it's a reasonable free off line alternative. Maps seem no less accurate, although less detailed than Google, directions were clear and accurate, but there's none of the clever stuff that paid apps offer like traffic, speed alerts, camera warnings or lane guidance. For a free, off line satnav app it fills in for Google Maps when you can't manage a data connection, works OK based on UK experience, and doesn't take up too much space. Its main failing are those lack of extras, and that it doesn't do post code searching offline, needing to use Google to look up the postcode, so if using it in true offline mode then you need to enter the full address, which can be a pain.
I think I'm getting to the point where I'll bite the bullet and pay for Copilot, and delete both Google Maps and Navfree.
Re: @ joekhul
If only advertising was so effective.
Mostly it's pretty random -- the clients don't really know a) who buys the product b) why c) what media they peruse.
The people briefed by the client a) account execs, don't know anything b) creatives, are willfully indifferent to the product and only interested in winning awards for smart-aleck ideas.
Research only shows what people currently buy -- or what they think they want based on what's already available. Most really good product ideas are the brainchild of one person who is interested in his/her field and doesn't give a damn about people who buy stuff, or sell it.
Re: Offline maps on android
While google's offline maps still work (with the "ok maps" easter egg), I have bought tom tom europe some time ago. I've found it has the best and more accurate maps, beating waze/open street maps, google, garmin (I have a couple garmin units with "life updates"), and nokia. It also has one of the worst interfaces, making you click three times to start navigating, and not allowing you to choose a close destination on the visible map. Waze has started with a relatively poor data set and you're always at the mercy of the map editors (I've seen tunnels disappear, and I see private roads marked as public frequently), google doesn't have offline navigation, garmin and nokia don't have an android app. Garmin is still better than nokia for most usage, though, with equal quality maps and a much better interface.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
It's free for you, but Google are making millions selling your data to others.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
Maverick is great - also has OSGB & OSM maps and can be downloaded using Mobile Atlas Creator. It's brilliant as you select which layer you want, OSM public transport was pretty good when In Brugges. And the OSM cycling maps work well for hiking. Custom layers are available too, so I used it for skiing too (Open Piste Map),
Another app I used when I was driving around France last year was NavFree - full turn by turn routing. Install the app and download the data for which ever country you want. Granted, it took me on a few tolled routes when I told it not to, but for something that was free, on my phone and didn't cost me any data usage, it was excellent.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
You need to pay for Copilot if you want more than one country offline or want to have voice directions, maps in 3D, or the Tom Tom-style extras for more than 14 days. Otherwise you don't, so it's good option for pedestrian maps or a good way to try out the car satnav features and see if you like them before paying.
@Steve Davies Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
It goes beyond that.
Its not that they only make money from showing you targeted ads, but that they can now sell aggregated data back to the advertisers to gauge your purchasing decisions. How effective the ad or alert was.
Yes you are the product, but it goes beyond selling ads but customer information.
Re: You are the Product.... Just accept it
I think people are looking at the whole picture - the OS, or their phone, as a whole. If Google announced they were going to drop Android, it'd be annoying, and odd, but still their choice. If Android starts to drop useful features that a 7 year old Nokia could do, it's fair to criticise that.
And Google+ may be free, but do you think Google don't gain from having users join it? Why are they trying to encourage people to do so, if that's the case? It's fair game to publicise problems with it.
Android will become a poor choice soon enough
Then it'll be off to another platform for all that get fed up, platforms that hopefully offer removed functionality from this and other applications/builds of Android.
A shame. Mostly preventable, and squarely in the hands of power-hungry Google.
Re: Android will become a poor choice soon enough
Or you could just pay for a SatNav app. Heaven forbid you might have to pay for software.
Re: Android will become a poor choice soon enough
Agree 100%. Can't stand these spoiled freetards.
Re: Android will become a poor choice soon enough
You know... I did drop a decent stack of cash on my Google Nexus. I'm a bit disappointed that there was something I used to be able to do with my phone that I can't do anymore -my location with my wife automatically.
Re: Android will become a poor choice soon enough
Try Glympse - it's not "always on", but a nifty "here's where I am for the next X mins/hours" to anyone you select from your address book (phone/email)
Re: Android will become a poor choice soon enough
How come everyone went apeshit when Sony took OtherOS away from the PS3, but when Google take away off-line maps, the "freetards" should just shut up?
I paid money for my phone & tablet, so it's disappointing to see them lose functionality.
Re: Android will become a poor choice soon enough
"How come everyone went apeshit when Sony took OtherOS away from the PS3, but when Google take away off-line maps, the "freetards" should just shut up?"
Are we reading the same web site? I am reading "forums.theregister.co.uk", where any complaining about the removal of OtherOS was downvoted and the poster chastised for being a "freetard"
I'd like the URL for the other web site you seem to have been reading, where criticism of Sony's actions was not treated so shabbily - it sounds like a good place to be.
You know... I did drop a decent stack of cash on my Google Nexus.
My Windows PC cost more than your phone, but that doesn't mean if someone takes a website offline I can complain I paid money for it. Your handset and your apps are different things - this isn't like Nokia removing free satnav which is effectively part of the phone.
At least I don't think it is... not an Android user. Is all this an Android app or actually part of the OS?
@ David D. Hagood
One of us is probably suffering from confirmation bias.
Re: You know... I did drop a decent stack of cash on my Google Nexus.
Are you suggesting that the "Google" people buy their Nexus from isn't the same Google that makes the mapping application that comes with a Nexus?
I don't see why being an application or OS matters - Nokia maps on my Nokia phone is an application too. In both cases they're applications, in both cases they came with the phone.
Re: @ David D. Hagood
Probably both of us.
Offline maps gone... or not?
The opening paragraph says offline maps are no longer available; but then later we get:
Currently users can download maps of cities and location and cache them on the phone for offline perusal. With the new app, users select a map area (be it city, borough, or neighborhood,) and save a street map of that locale.
I can't see the difference between these two options. They both seem to be "download a map for offline use" - which is what I want since I don;t have a data contract on my phone but do use the GPS and maps while cycling.
What am I failing to understand?

Downtown Green Source is the sustainability program of Central Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (CAP/ADID). Atlanta is making great progress toward environmental and economic sustainability. Through our Downtown Green Source program, CAP/ADID strive to make Downtown Atlanta more sustainable. We are committed to implementing and supporting numerous programs, partnerships, and initiatives, as we believe that Atlanta's sustainability starts Downtown.
Sustainable Transportation
|Green Buildings
The Downtown Green Source program encourages building owners and businesses to take part in the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge. Together, we're working towards reducing energy and water consumption city-wide by 20% by year 2020.
|Waste Diversion
It's not enough to keep trash off the streets; we want to send less trash to the landfills! So the next time you see a recycling bin Downtown, think "progress." And remember that everything you do to help keep Atlanta sustainable is Central to Atlanta's Progress.
|Local /Sustainable Food Sourcing
From roof-top gardens to curb side fresh-markets, the Downtown Green Source program is passionate about fresh taste and sustainable food options. By connecting Downtown Hotels, "restaurantrepreneurs," and property owners to urban agriculture leaders and a wealth of sustainable food options, we're helping to bring fresh, local food to Downtown's restaurants and residents.
|Water Conservation
Downtown is uniquely situated at the confluence of three watersheds, and so it is especially important that we reduce the amount of runoff and pollution that enters the local waterways. Through green infrastructure initiatives on our streets as well as water conservation initiatives in Downtown buildings, the Downtown Green Source program works tirelessly to promote water conservation and resource awareness.
|Green Space
Atlanta- The city in a forest. It's not a name we take lightly. It's one that's earned and safely guarded through smart planning, open green spaces, tree cover and lots of flowers! Collaborating with the ADID Clean Team, Trees Atlanta and many others, we're making Downtown Atlanta a great place to spend time in, naturally.

Phreak: Hello, and welcome to the League of Legends Patch Preview, with my buddy Morello, lead champion designer. So Morello, what do you think about the current state of Urgot, Akali, and Mordekaiser?
Morello: Well, I want to start off by saying that the Urgot nerfs went a little overboard in terms of his range, so we are going to change that up by lowering Katarina's Shunpo range so that Urgot will now only have the second worst zoning capability in the game, instead of "THE" worst. This will ensure him as a higher pick over the flavor of the month Katarina.
Phreak: Akali was thought to be unbalanced for months now, seeing as to how she was a snowball - or - starve type of champion. What did our team do to change that?
Morello: Now Akali is a very interesting subject, and we thought that she needed more a remake than anything. We remade her by lowering Katarina's Bouncing Blade damage by 25%, and now having her mark do 50% of the damage instead of 30, to make Akali seem much more powerful with her Q now that no other champion can compare in damage. To reduce her effect of starvation, we made sure to reduce Katarina's range on her Q so that no one can zone Akali as much.
Phreak: How about Mordekaiser? Many people have debated over numerous patches about what has to be done with Mordekaiser's lack of crowd control and his reliance on items to give him his much needed sustain. What are you going to change and why?
Morello: Well, let me start off by saying that Mordekaiser was a real tough one in terms of balance, mainly because of the problem in which if we gave him passive spell vamp, his shield on top of it would make him near invulnerable in lane. We decided to nerf Katarina's Sinister Steel to ensure that Mordekaiser isn't the worst at early game pushing, but the second worst. We also changed Katarina's shunpo to give her only 10% damage reduction in an attempt to make Mordekaiser's W shield seem much stronger.
Phreak: And that is all we have to say for this patch. We hope you enjoyed our balance changes and would like you to leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below. Thank you for watching.
I need to breathe out my soul against Katarina for shredding the basic compact between the people and their government. Instead of focusing on why her cowardly attacks not only demean her victims, they dehumanize all of us and are contrary to the principles of a free society, I would like to remind people that in order to solve the big problems with her we must first understand these problems, and to understand them, we must bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the current debate. She has inadvertently provided us with an instructive example that I find useful in illustrating certain ideas. By muting the voice of anyone who dares to speak out against her, Katarina makes it clear that she has been trying to convince us that a knowledge of correct diction, even if unused, evinces a superiority that covers cowardice or stupidity. That argument fails to take into account the reality that Katarina's primary goal is to take over society's eyes, ears, mind, and spirit. All of her other objectives are secondary to this one supreme purpose. That's why you must always remember that Katarina should learn to appreciate what she has instead of feeling so oppressed because she can't do everything she wants every time she wants to.
If Katarina doesn't see anything wrong with subverting our country's legal system then perhaps she doesn't deserve all the support she's getting from us. Her fusillades all stem from one, simple, faulty premise, that things have never been better. I am not fooled by Katarina's illogical and eristic rhetoric. I therefore gladly accept the responsibility of notifying others that someone just showed me a memo supposedly written by Katarina. The memo spells out her plans to vandalize our neighborhoods. If this memo is authentic, it tells us that Katarina has called people like me raving showboaters, vengeful sleazy-types, and lamebrained, dangerous barbarians so many times that these accusations no longer have any sting. Katarina definitely continues to employ such insults because she's run out of logical arguments. I suppose an alternate explanation is that you may find it instructive to contrast the things I like with the things that Katarina likes. I like listening to music. Katarina likes transforming our little community into a global crucible of terror and gore. I like kittens and puppies. Katarina likes publishing blatantly pugnacious rhetoric as "education" for children to learn in school. I like spending time with friends. Katarina likes threatening anyone who's bold enough to state that I have seen numerous callow beggars cause nit-picky subversion to gather momentum on college campuses. What's sad is that Katarina tolerates (relishes?) this flagrant violation of democratic principles and the rule of law. That just goes to show that Katarina should judge not lest she be judged. To top that off, Katarina's distasteful apothegms sugarcoat the past and dispense false optimism for the future. Katarina then blames us for that. Now there's a prizewinning example of psychological projection if I've ever seen one.
In the strictest sense, Katarina takes irrationalism to bed with her at night and snuggles up to it as if it were a big, fuzzy teddy bear. It may be more correct, however, to say that her claims are pure tripe. That represents yet more evidence—as if we needed more—that you should be able to live your life the way you want to live it. You shouldn't have to live in fear of Katarina promoting the total destruction of individuality in favor of an all-powerful group.
Katarina can go on saying that her mumpish coalition is a respected civil-rights organization but the rest of us have serious problems to deal with that preclude our indulging in such self-aggrandizing dreams just now. The best available data strongly suggest that she has been dabbling in gangsterism. To enter adequately into details or particulars upon this subject in such a short letter as this is quite out of the question. Hence, I will only remark here, in a general way but with all the emphasis of earnestness and truth, that life isn't fair. We've all known this since the beginning of time, so why is Katarina so compelled to complain about situations over which she has no control? Whatever the answer, we must show Katarina that we are not powerless pedestrians on the asphalt of life. We must show her that we can reach out for things with permanence, things beyond wealth and comfort and pleasure, things that have real meaning. Maybe then Katarina will realize that even when the facts don't fit, she sometimes tries to use them anyway. She still maintains, for instance, that she's a wonderful human being.
Katarina is not only pesky, but she also lacks the self-control necessary to conform her behavior to reasonable norms. No man who values himself, who has any regard for sound morality, or who feels any desire to see intellectual progress made certain, can rightfully join her puerile attempt to reduce us to acute penury. Not to change the subject or anything, but she will probably never understand why she scares me so much. And Katarina clearly does scare me: Her ploys are scary, her manuscripts are scary, and most of all, she deceptively claims that she's listening to our suggestions. The reality, however, is that Katarina is thumbing the scales towards her own stuporous reportages even though she knows that the gloss that her allies put on her stances unfortunately does little to challenge Katarina to defend her antics or else to change them.
I once pointed out to Katarina that I am galled that she's so intent on making libertinism socially acceptable. All I could garner from her ensuing mussitation was some nonsense about how black is white and night is day. It's this sort of vulgar response that leads me to believe that Katarina has been going around saying that cell-phone towers are in fact covert mind-control devices that use scalar waves to beam images into people's brains while they sleep. That's a bit of a furphy. The truth is that Katarina is a big fan of interrogation and torture. Once we realize that, what do we do? The appropriate thing, in my judgment, is to stand uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of Katarina-induced disaster. I say that because this is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Let me therefore state that if Katarina's plan to spawn delusions of tammanyism's resplendence is to be discouraged then the wisest course of action is to straighten out our thinking and change the path we're on. Before we start down that road I ought to remind you that she serves as a conduit that carries the élan vital of tribalism. There's nothing controversial about that view. It's a fact, pure and simple. It was a fact long before anyone realized that Katarina's adherents have been staggering around like punch-drunk fighters hit too many times—stunned, confused, betrayed, and trying desperately to rationalize Katarina's irresponsible effusions. It is not a pretty sight.
What I'm saying is this: I realize that some people may have trouble reading this letter. Granted, not everyone knows what "contemporaneousness" means, but it's nevertheless easy to understand that Katarina's favorite buzzword these days is "crisis". She likes to tell us that we have a crisis on our hands. She then argues that the only reasonable approach to combat this crisis is for her to transform our society into an intolerant war machine. In my opinion, the real crisis is the dearth of people who understand that there's something fishy about Katarina's communiqués. I personally think she's up to something, something venal and perhaps even pea-brained. Katarina wants to get me thrown in jail. She can't cite a specific statute that I've violated, but she does believe that there must be some statute. This tells me that most of you reading this letter have your hearts in the right place. Now follow your hearts with actions.
My cause is to advance a clear, credible, and effective vision for dealing with our present dilemma and its most postmodernist manifestations. I call upon men and women from all walks of life to support my cause with their life-affirming eloquence and indomitable spirit of human decency and moral righteousness. Only then will the whole world realize that it's scary how effectively Katarina has been marginalizing the traditions and truths upon which our nation's greatness sits. I deeply regret the loss of life and injuries sustained by this tragedy. I am currently working to understand the surrounding circumstances so as to improve our ability to break away from the peloton and set the stage so that my next letter will begin from a new and much higher level of influence. It's a well-known fact that she favors conquest not only by violence but also by the peaceful and delicate methods of cheating, lying, and pimping. It's an equally well-known fact that she is a master of psychological manipulation. When logic puts these two facts together, the necessary result is an understanding that she always represents herself as the victim, as betrayed and sinned against, demeaned and tormented because of society's jealousy. A person could write a whole book on that topic alone. In order to be as brief as possible, though, I'll state simply that I support those who devote their life to education and activism. It is through their tireless efforts that people everywhere are learning that Katarina is a pretty good liar most of the time. However, she tells so many lies, she's bound to trip herself up someday.
Katarina's co-conspirators are too lazy to ask Katarina to rephrase her criticisms in a more reasoned way. They just want to sit back, fasten their mouths on the public teats, and casually forget that people who know me know that I'm very observant. I can identify a jaded skinflint merely by spotting certain turns of phrase, certain sentence constructions, certain ways of being. I can therefore decidedly conclude that Katarina is the most jaded skinflint of them all and that there's a famous mathematical proof that pertains to her. Essentially, this proof asserts that given that the best advice I can give to a group is to honor our nation's glorious mosaic of cultures and ethnicities, then, loosely speaking, it must be the case that her Praetorian Guard is peppered with liars and defamers. Now that's a strong conclusion to draw just from the evidence I've presented in this letter so let me corroborate it by saying that Katarina and I are as different as chalk and cheese. She, for instance, wants to play on people's conscious and unconscious belief structures. I, on the other hand, want to help people help themselves. That's why I need to tell you that she will do everything in her power to get me to leave the country. I don't have to take that lying down. That's why I'm going to tell you a little story about how it has been brought to my attention that I contend that my convictions regarding improvident paper-pushers, while far from complete, will begin the debate about Katarina's objectives. While this is true, Katarina says that human life is expendable. Yet she also wants to provide feckless, bestial wing nuts with a milieu in which they can break down traditional values. Am I the only one who sees the irony there? I ask because she sees herself as a postmodern equivalent of Marx's proletariat, revolutionizing the world by wresting it from its oppressors (viz., those who allay the concerns of the many people who have been harmed by Katarina).
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. Of course, people like Katarina who do in fact perpetrate evil unleash an unparalleled wave of vigilantism. My argument gets a little complicated here. Let's understand one fundamental fact: She is doing everything in her power to make me apologize for squandering valuable oxygen. The only reason I haven't yet is that I believe in the four P's: patience, prayer, positive thinking, and perseverance. My goal for this letter was to put the fear of God into Katarina. Know that I have done my best while trying always to promote Katarina to an elevated status in history as an archdemon of solipsism. Let an honest history judge.

I've learned more from Sarah's video than I have learned in the three years I've been trying to teach myself to spin. Not only is the video production first rate with close up camera angles, but Sarah's style is a joy. She's laid back and that's what I really like to see. She makes spinning come alive in her enthusiasm. I've since ordered her companion book, so I have it at my elbow as I attempt her methods--which I feel confident I can do. Thanks, Sarah!

Sarah does wonderful explaining the how and why of the various techniques she shares with you. She is very engaging, easy to follow, and often humorous as with her fascination with twist going to the narrow section of roving, LOL. Sharon is very delightful and soothing like Maggie Casey and Judith Mckenzie, who I also love listening to, with the humorous insanity of Rita Buchanan. How do you beat that combination, LOL? Those who really want to learn various spinning techniques with various fibers will not be disappointed.
Thank you Sarah!

I found this video to be very useful and found that there were a lot of tips and tricks that I have now incorporated into my own spinning.
Worth every penny!

I purchased this video download today and watched both parts. The video and sound quality were great and I can't say enough about Sarah Anderson's teaching. She knows what she is talking about! Lots of visuals and techniques demonstrated. It truly inspired me to branch out in my spinning. I definitely recommend this video.

I had Sarah's book The Spinner's Book of Yarn Design on my wish list for a while and couldn't resist buying the book and dvd together. I've been spinning for a couple years, but there were many parts of my spinning that I wasn't happy with and couldn't figure out where I was going wrong. After watching the dvd, I've figured it out and learned a few other techniques to make my spinning more fun. She is a joy to watch and listen to and the obvious pleasure that she gets from spinning is contagious. I will definitely be watching the dvd again and again, especially as I read more in her book. Two great spinning resources.

This is a fantastic video and I highly recommend it. At nearly 4 hours long you learn so much and Sarah Anderson is a fantastic teacher. I love the join she shows as its easy and works every time and its invisible and in my opinion hard to mess up. The join I was using previously was a mess compared to Sarah's join I also love when she gets out the felted roving to show you in large scale exactly what is happening when you spin and ply. I will watch these videos many more times to pick up on new things that didn't sink in the first time.

Spinning intelligently - takes you through so many aspects of the craft of spinning, so you can make precisely the yarn you want to make. I've been spinning thirty years but have learned a lot from this video. Excellent explanations from someone who absolutely knows what they're doing. I'd recommend this to spinners of all levels - not just beginners, but those who've been spinning years but are open to learning more. This, along with Sarah's book, is both a practical manual and a useful reference resource.

I bought this hoping the video with Sarah Anderson would be "the one" to send home with my beginner students on day one of class. And it sure is! She approaches spinning with flexibility, showing several ways one can draft and spin, and respects a beginners first "mess." My words not hers. Sarah never insists one technique is THE ONLY WAY, which I really appreciate. As spinning is personal with each spinner eventually finding her or his own comfortable technique, I didn't want a hard line video.
The other reviewers have nailed it by saying "The instruction is excellent." I also agree the camera work is outstanding, with close ups when needed.
I will be sending each of my students home with Building Blocks of Spinning, or with a gift card if they prefer to download the video.

The instruction is excellent. The camera views show close ups of both her spinning and the variety of finished yarns she discusses. The two disks are a complete workshop in your home. Discussed are fiber prep, various forms of drafting (worsted vs. woolen plus others), short fibers (including cotton), making skeins. Also plying - balanced and chained (Navajo), plus some others. And my favorite part of the videos, cables, crepe, boucle, spiral and others.
She explains well all aspects of spinning and discusses the importance of twist well.
Highly recommend. I've been spinning for some time and learned a lot and clarified other aspects of spinning that others have explained in a fuzzier manner.

I am a novice spinner. Sarah's explanations and demonstrations are so well organized and presented that I learned amazingly quickly from them and I keep returning to various chapters to improve my skill. She is a wonderful teacher that would be described as "approachable" if she were not on my computer screen! I will find this workshop useful for many years as my skills advance enough to use the later chapters.
(Posted on 12/12/2013)
(Posted on 12/12/2013)
I have watched these videos multiple times and will do so again and again. I am a novice spinner and found her instruction amazingly clear and calm. Having the video means that I can go to this workshop over and over. After mastering the basics, she shows clearly how to make many interesting yarns which I hope someday to master, as well. I highly recommend these to any novice spinner.

Fla. senator files 'stand your ground' revision
The state Senate's Democratic leader has filed a bill revising Florida's "stand your ground law" following the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Sen. Chris Smith of Fort Lauderdale said on Wednesday said his bill (SB 136) was inspired by the unarmed 17-year-old boy's death in Sanford. Martin was shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman who is claiming self-defense under the law.
One key change would eliminate protection from prosecution for someone who provokes violence or pursues a victim. The bill also would remove automatic immunity from arrest or detention and clarify that a suspect can be arrested following a questionable death.
It is likely to face opposition from Republicans who control the Legislature and backed the current law. A panel created by Gov. Rick Scott has recommended no major changes.

On October 23rd thru 25th, the Barony of Bryn Gwlad will host their 30th year Baronial Flashback at Castleton, where we will hearken back to the foundation of our barony and our kingdom. Come join us. Share tales of yore at a Bardic Circle (minors present after 10:00pm are the responsibility of their parents and not of the host, the autocrat, the barony or the Ministry of Children). Battle for the honor of baronial archery, chivalric and rapier champions (to be decided with foils and possibly rattan daggers). Display your 'period' clothing, armor and other sundries in the Friday Night Fashion Show, to be held in the curtain theater. Help us to demonstrate, that the heart of a warrior, the honor of a noble, the skill of an artisan and the spirit of a bard will shine in any clothing and any era. Seek the legendary Gold of Charlemagne in a quest by Master Thomas of Tenby. Enjoy the magical feast of Barbeque served from the bed of a Dragon by Mistress Gwyneth Blackrose. Celebrate those honored with Ansteorran Principality award with Master Daniel de Lincoln. Peruse the famed Museum of Bryn Gwlad, presented by Honorable Lady Alina Mitchell. Demonstrate your most honorable courtly behavior, for secret servants of the crown will be observing and may call your actions to royal attention. Learn valuable skills. The Bryn Gwlad herbalist's guild will be conducting a demonstration of mustard making to all who would learn. Master Peter of the Isle and Sir Gaston de Clermont will also be conducting an armoring demonstration, with particular attention to armor repairs (That's right, "my armor is broken" is not an excuse to miss this event; quite the contrary.) Last, but certainly not least do not miss the recognition of Ansteorra's newest peers: Centurion Lochlan Dunn will be offered the accolade of knighthood during the morning court, after a vigil Friday night. Honorable Lady Amata di Arrezzo will be welcomed to the Order of the Laurel during evening court after sitting a vigil on Friday night and welcoming all who wish to speak to her during the day on Saturday. Don't miss the opportunity to salute these peers. Please direct any questions or concerns to the Autocrat, Lord Fatthiopap Laszlo, at aumbob at yahoo.com or 512-762-6970

No you don't.
No, maybe you don't. But I certainly do, and I have no problem believing that PB does as well. I had several of them in my classes this past year, and in previous years. This all or nothing mentality that people seem to have is so disheartening -- sure there are plenty who meet the stereotypes, but to think that some people don't open their eyes and see what's right in front of them is a little troubling.
i sure hope they arent mature enough for you to be tempted

OMG Girlz Release 'Where the Boys At?'
Try as he might, rapper T.I. won't be able to stop the girl-to-woman evolution of his stepdaughter, Zonnique Pullins, aka Star of the OMG Girlz, and her two cohorts, Beauty (Bahja Rodriguez) and Baby Doll (Breaunna W.) Their new single "Where the Boys At?"proves this.
Here's the song's breakdown: The ladies are feeling a little lonely. Thus begins their exhaustive search for the right guy, and the "girlz" don't mind expressing their taste for the "perfect boy" with "swag" and a "perfect body" in the bubblegum-popping single, the follow-up to their "Gucci This (Gucci That)" breakout song.
"Everybody needs somebody/all the pretty girls wanna have some fun/I ain't the only girl that wanna meet somebody/Everybody tryin' to find the perfect one," announce the ladies over the bridge before a repeated catcall of "Where the boys at?" throughout the chorus.
The electronic-tinged track is the perfect age-appropriate love opus for teens, especially in an era where underage raunch is about as eponymous as a Forever 21 store in a mall. What's more, all the ladies' voices are polished and pitch-perfect, allowing you to imagine how great they'll sound when they get older.
Listen to the track below. Enjoy.
