Inasmuch as I haven't written squat in the last 48 hours, go read this.
That right there is why he's the Emperor and I am but a lowly King & Tyrant.
KORRIOTH: What happened to "Sith Lord"?
VENOMOUS: That, too. Shut up.
Anyway, go read it. Go. Shoo.

The Ayatollah doesn't have as much influence as he thought he did.
In a hearty "fuck you" to the hajiis at Al-Obambi, a number of television stations are going ahead with plans to end all broadcast analog signals on February 17, as the original schedule called for, defying Al-Obambi's wishes (and the Imperial Socialist Congress' directive) in the matter.
More than a quarter of major U.S. TV stations intend to shut down their analog broadcasts on Feb. 17, sticking to the original date despite the wish of the Obama administration that they wait until June.
San Diego will be the largest city to lose analog broadcasts of three networks: CBS, ABC and Fox.
Smaller cities losing most or all of their major analog network broadcasts include Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla.; Charleston and Greenville, S.C.; Dayton, Ohio; Springfield, Ill.; Burlington, Vt.; Bakersfield, Calif.; Binghamton, N.Y.; Casper, Wyo.; Lincoln, Neb.; Lubbock, Texas; Mobile, Ala.; and Sioux Falls, S.D.
Good on ya, guys. Jugears McHopeychangey ain't the boss of you, and it's good that you're telling him what he can go do with himself.

Memo to "The 52″:
Congratulations on installing a bunch of economically incompetent fucks. Wall Street thinks you're a bunch of damnfools.
US stocks fell sharply Tuesday in a broad-based decline as the government announced details of its latest bailout plan.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down nearly 300 points after Treasury Secretary Tim Geither revealed details of the bank-bailout plan. Earlier, the blue-chip index was down less than 100 points.
They're right.
UPDATE: 382 points down at day's end.
Yeah, you 52-percenters suuuuuure were smarties to entrust Demoscum with the economy.
Dumb shits.

You guys remember what I said about dusting off the perp before said goblin got into our half-assed excuse-for-a-legal system?
It applies double for illegal fucking aliens.
An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home.
Twenty years ago, this piece of legal shit would have been tossed on its ear, and the chickenshit of an attorney would have been deported, American or not, along with his illegal alien clientele.
Pardon the Red Curtain of Blood that's getting into my eyes right now.
One mongoloid ambulance chaser, one black-robed chickenshit tyrant, two ropes, two lampposts.
You know the drill.

Denizens, I have a special prayer request today for you guys:
Not sure if I ever mentioned this, but late last year the Mothergoose from Denton was forced by the state (albeit indirectly) to close her home-based water testing business. (A license the state said she needed to continue was cost-prohibitive to acquire.) Thus, she became a statistic. She's managed to glom onto a job in a lab with low pay and a massive (try three hours one-way) commute, but she's at least got a job for now.
Now for the request: She's got a bead on a possible new position that pays a little more (barely), but with only a 50-minute commute. She has a good chance of getting this job, but she could use our prayers, nonetheless.
Thanks, guys.

Memo to Senator Skank, aka Debbie Stabenow (Dipshit-MI):
History records that people who generally try to shut Americans up have themselves been silenced. And not always by pleasant means, either.

Denizens, I think I'm beginning to see what Dubya meant when he accused the Demoscum of "fuzzy math".
First, of course, it was the Ayatollah Obambi with his crack about there being at least "57 states" – not counting, of course, Alaska & Hawaii and the "one left to go" he'd previously mentioned.
But now, in the short span of two short weeks, the Al-Obambi economy – already a failed bit to start with – has gotten exponentially worse, because we've gained two hundred million (200,000,000 – or a 2 with 8 zeros behind it for those of you in the Church of the SubTarded) citizens in those two weeks.
San Fran Nan Piglousi said so.
The economy may be bad, but if you listen to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it's worse than is even statistically possible.
While answering a recent question about the speed of passing an economic recovery package, the California Democrat stated, "500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don't think we can go fast enough to stop that."
Obviously, Pelosi misspoke, as the total population of the United States is only about 305 million.
Well, duh. I coulda told you that.
But it does kinda put the lie to that tired old meme about the US electorate having chosen the "smartest man (or woman, for that matter) in the room", now, doesn't it?

That the number of jobless people EACH MONTH there are going to be here in the US if "Teh One's" Porkulus bill isn't passed. So sayeth the oh-so wise and intelligent Nancy Piglousy.
Here's the link to the video from Drudge. {just too darn lazy today to embed it here}
Glenn Beck has his take on this. Rush is on vacation this week, but I would imagine given that the guest host is Mark Steyn, he'll have a spot on this as well.
If the Demoscum were smart (which we know is debatable even on a good day) they'd can this "talking head". But in the mean time, we all get ANOTHER good laugh at her screw-up.

Now this is what I call abject stupidity.
Yanking open the passenger door of a marked Dallas police squad car, an unarmed 18-year-old man ordered the veteran sergeant inside to hand over the keys and his gun, police said.
"This is the day I die," John Lewis Johnson said to Sgt. Charles Young, according to police documents. "Give me your keys."
Thing is, had the officer done the morally right thing (it, of course, being a travesty of justice that the dumbass is wasting our oxygen) and offed this dorkwad, he'd be a candidate for Darwin. And probably would have won, too.

Believe it or not, I don't have a dog in this fight.
I have reasons to hate both the Steelers & Cardinals, seeing as how both of them beat the C'girlz this year. I s'pose I lean a little away from Pittsburgh getting that sixth Lombardi Trophy, but it's eventually gonna happen, whether or not they win today.
But truth be told, I like a coaches like Ken Whisenhunt & Mike Tomlin – they're both no-nonsense, gritty coaches who won't take shit off anyone. Kinda like what I wish we had here.
And I like both Benny Roethelisberger & Kurt Warner, though I want to see Warner get the second ring of which the New England Pansies (and the fucking zebras) denied him five years ago.
But I really don't have a preference for who wins. Except…
That little pussy the Ayatollah Obambi is pulling for the Steelers.
Go Cards.

What's being said
I'm surprised that the author's took the India based analysts numbers on face value. I have worked in the legal off-shoring industry for six years and I am rather certain that total revenue for the noteable off-shoring companies does not exceed $100 to $150 million, e.g., the Hindu Business Times just printed an interview with the country head for United Lex who says total revenue is currently under $50m, additionally most in the know are aware that Integreon, Pangea3, and Quislex are somewhere between $5 -$20m respectively. Industry watchers, in India especially, rely too much on boosterism and do not take into account the well established legal outsourcing industry that exists in the U.S., especially eDiscovery and contract attorney providers. Perhaps the analyst was referring to those companies when he said the "industry" was worth $1 billion in 2013?

Buying budget laptop, need some help...
Okay, now i'm planning to buy a budget laptop, which of these three do you think is better? Don't mind about the brands, it's a local brand from my country and i found its quite reliable, so :
1st Choice :
RELION Enduro LM-RL888
AMD Sempron 3400+, 512MB DDR2, 60GB HDD, DVD/CDRW Combo, 56K Modem, NIC, WiFi, VGA Nvidia GeForce Go 6100 128MB (shared), Camera, 15.4" WXGA, Non OS
2nd Choice :
ACER Aspire 5052ANWXMi
AMD Turion 64 MK-38, 512MB DDR2, 80GB HDD, DVD±RW, 56K Modem, NIC, WiFi, Bluetooth, VGA ATI Radeon X1100 128MB (shared), Camera, 14.1" XGA, Non OS
3rd Choice :
AXIOO Neon NVG758P
Core Duo T2080, 512MB DDR2, 80GB HDD, DVD/CDRW Combo, 56K Modem, NIC, WiFi, VGA Integrated 64MB (shared), Camera, 14.1" WXGA, Non OS
Here's my point of view :
#1 :
The only negative point for this one is the processor, but the price is extremely cheap...
#2 :
I like that AMD platform and the specs, it's the only one with DVDRW, and it's Acer...
#3 :
Dual-core, best processor among those three but the screen is bad and there's no graphic card, buw wow, it's under 2kgs!
So now i'm very confused... or maybe theres any other suggestion?
Note : The link is to Indonesian page, but i guess it's OK... Oh, and let the NonOS the way it's so i can install Ubuntu on that...
What are you planning to do with this laptop? Is it a desktop replacement? Are you planning to play a lot of high/medium end games on it? If you're going to use it as a laptop (travel around) how long is the battery life on each? These are all semi-important questions to ask to see what you really need in the specs of a laptop.
You need at least a gig of ram. I don't know much about vid cards anymore, but definitely avoid "VGA Integrated 64MB (shared)" as it is likely painfully pathetic. A friend just bought a $1000+ laptop with a shared graphics card and the thing couldn't even run Warcraft 3 smoothly, though that may have been Vista crap drivers fault.
Oh yeah i forgot to state what i'll use that for, of course i won't do heavy gaming on those, just want to use it as mobile PC for college tasks, running word processor, website designing, photoshop, browsing, watching anime and such...
Battery won't be a problem for me, since i'll use in my university and there's a lot of AC plug everywhere...
I don't quite like #3 too, 1024x768 is bad for me, most probably will go with #1/#2...
Well i don't think i'll need 1gb of ram for that... $1000+ cannot run WC3 is robbery, whack the dealer...
XP on 1 gig of ram is the universal standard. Even if your not doing games, I'd say going with 1gig of ram of ram on a xp installation will save you alot of headaches.
I like #1 here.
It doesn't have the power of #2, but my dad's acer has been nothing but trouble. It's personally a brand I would avoid.
I agree.. you should avoid Acer, cause it screams for trouble... i have one.. and after few months of rare use on the cd-rom, it failed ...stop working..:mad:
I agree with ACER - just on reputation alone. I would also ensure that your RAM is upgraded to at least one gigabyte. I really think you could run Windows XP just fine with 512 MB, but since you want to use Photoshop, 1 GB would benefit you.
The Acer laptop has the best specs. I really don't know about their problems
please do not look at laptops on how they look.. like women do : pretty white plastic - alias apple laptop :heh:
Dell occasionally has deals for their laptops that go as low as $350. They're usually pretty nicely fitted to. I'd keep an eye out for deals like those in tech forums.
I disagree with 1gb ram.
I've been using a laptop with 512mb ram for the past 2-3 years now as a desktop replacement.
I don't play games on it, so nothing else really NEEDS 1gb ram. Sure it's nice, but I've been getting by without it.
Either way, with 512 MB I was perfectly fine. The HD was very slow and meant that the computer wasn't a joy to multitask with, but I wouldn't attribute it to the RAM.
Now I'm using a Macbook Pro with 2 GB of RAM, and I wish I had more. I frequently virtualize Windows (and occasionally Linux) and for virtualization, the more cores and RAM, the better. However, if you're not looking to virtualize, game, or render in 3D, more RAM may actually be more of a hinderence on what you're trying to do. Word processing and basic web browsing doesn't need a lot of RAM. Windows XP behaves perfectly well with configurations under 1 GB of RAM. If you want Windows Vista, go for 1-2 GB for sure.
DELLS fail too much on me. I've had optical drives not work as well as drives not being detected by the bios and all sorts of problems. I aviod DELL when possible.
Yeah, the laptop I've been using for a few years as a desktop replacement is a Dell. It's never given me and problems.
Personally i'm also agree with 512MB instead of 1GB. I'll rather use my PC for heavy task instead of using that laptop.
So, #1 is the better choice, right? I'll choose that. My wallet seems happy too :) With the extra budget i guess i'll buy a laptop cooler pad and hardcase...
I'll preorder it with Ubuntu installed...
Thanks for all of your suggestion...
Windows XP runs fine with 512 mb of RAM. As long as you disable useless programs from starting at startup and aren't planning to launch nuclear missiles while simultaneously downloading anime off of uTorrent with 20 tabs open on Firefox you should be fine.
Yeah, but you get my point. I have a computer that has been running on XP since early 2002 with 512mb of ram (and mind you, this is PC 2100 speeds), and a Pentium 2.4 Ghz processor. Let me tell you, that thing was a beast; and is still more than capable at running tasks like music, internet, and some other multi-tasking quite efficiently.:)
And if that's the case, RAM shouldn't be a problem at all. I enjoy Windows XP (you just have to tweak it, and remove unnecessary programs) but I have tested Ubuntu before. Very fast.
If you are savvy, perhaps I can suggest Black Viper? Black Viper has listed all the services that can be turned off safely in Windows XP. Have a look at Black Viper's website - Black Viper

Border Patrol agents thwarted two drug smuggling attempts Thursday and seized more than $1 million worth of cocaine and methamphetamine, authorities said Friday.
The first smuggling attempt was made about 9 a.m. when agents stopped a GMC Envoy heading west on Interstate 8 at Kitchen Creek Road. The 39-year-old woman who was driving appeared nervous, and a drug-sniffing dog alerted on possible contraband, Border Patrol officials said.
Agents brought the vehicle to the Pine Valley checkpoint and discovered 19 bundles of methamphetamine and four bundles of cocaine in the bumpers.
About an hour later, agents saw a white Toyota Solara parked on the shoulder of northbound Interstate 5 south of the San Clemente checkpoint. Smoke was pouring from the engine compartment, officials said. The agents asked the 26-year-old driver, a U.S. citizen, if their dog could inspect the car, and he agreed. Agents then found 18 pounds of methamphetamine concealed in the rear quarter-panels.
Both drivers were arrested. Their names were not released.

3 Questions for Growing Market Share
Even with quality products and excellent customer service, many good companies are often limited in their competitiveness against larger competitors and therefore their ability to take market share from the larger players in their industry. The good news is that with smart marketing strategy, smaller companies can grow their market share in a big way. Developing a strategy always starts with asking the right questions – here are a few to consider.
- What is the perceived value of your brand (and products) compared to larger competitors?
- Have you matched your competitive advantages to defined market segments?
- Are you communicating your competitive advantages clearly to your target segments?
Marketing is business planning
Marketing is widely misunderstood by many business people, for natural reasons. It's also widely misunderstood by marketing consultants, most of whom serve as content producers (writers, designers) or technicians (SEO, social media, etc.). Marketing strategy should drive your business planning for the future — it should not be viewed as merely promotion and branding. Your business' role in the market and community needs to be envisioned by you and then realized with strategic planning. — Darren Ballegeer
Marketing Challenges are Universal
When I travel and meet business people in different countries, I see the same fundamental marketing challenges. I see that universal truths of human nature and business transcend borders, culture, language and industry. Here are the recommendations I make to business people in response to two marketing challenges I often hear:
1. "Consumers don't want to take a chance on a product they don't understand". Recommendation – Since most consumers prefer to follow others rather than educate themselves, customer stories should lead your marketing communications. Address consumers' questions and concerns through a positive customer story.
2. "I don't want to spend more money on advertising or other promotion, but I need to get more customers". Recommendation – Your paid outreach is not bringing a good return because it is not strategic. Clarify your market position, message your value proposition, identify buying decision factors, and share customer stories. — Darren Ballegeer
The first thing that marketing should provide for your business
Of all the things that marketing communications can bring your business, what is the first and most valuable? What is the low-hanging fruit that is often ignored when big, new marketing initiatives are being planned? Answer: converting past customer prospects that you are not nurturing. Most small businesses don't nurture prospects – if a prospect can't be sold in the short term, they move on to new leads. It's the failure of an outdated sales process that's not supported by strategic marketing. Nurturing relationships with past prospects has a high ROI because it recoups value from the initial investment already made with prospects. Nurturing prospects increases sales, elevates your brand reputation, and recoups lost value from your lead generation and sales efforts. — Darren Ballegeer
Smart Marketing Drives Buying Decisions
In order to increase your sales and profits, your marketing communications need to do more than push out product and company information. Marketing needs to do everything that will move your customer target to a buying decision – it needs to answer key questions, clearly define customer benefits, establish trust and credibility, and honestly address the 'unspoken' issues that block buying behavior. In a way, marketing needs to be the customer's advocate. Certainly, marketing needs to be designed from the customer's perspective. — Darren Ballegeer
Marketing is a process, not a toolbox
Marketing efforts should be focused on the few areas of your business that will benefit most from communicating your brand's attributes, competitive advantages, and customer benefits. Identifying these areas (by product, by sales objections, etc.) and targeting them strategically is a process. Viewing marketing communications as a menu of tools and tactics ignores the strategic opportunity that will really drive client attraction, brand affinity, and business growth. — Darren Ballegeer
Good looking, but doesn't say much
You know the type. Good looks, stylish, grabs your attention. But when you look a little deeper, there is not much substance, or you're left confused. Brand logos and advertising is what I'm talking about – marketing tools that have been designed to look good but with little thought to what they communicate. Truth is, creative visual is not king – messaging is king and design should be its humble servant. Logo here is a good example of how attractive design cannot make up for a brand name that doesn't communicate. – Darren Ballegeer

Garden Sayings
Gardening sayings...
I will start the ball rolling .....
Care to join me????????????
"Live well, laugh hard and dig up your yard."
Well, there's the old saying, "Bloom where you're planted."
I love that one and actually have a sign for the garden with that saying on it. I keep meaning to use some stencils and make a few more signs of that type for the garden. I do have one that my daughter did for me that has the scripture about, "Thy word shall be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path that I put in the garden along with a rusty old lantern. People always comment on it.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
Albert Einstein
"In the cold and snow of winter there's a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until it's season, something God alone can see." Hymn of Promise
"A bit of perfume always clings to the hand that gives the rose." -Chinese proverb
Flowers that bend and meet in sweetening others grow more sweet.
"We do not inherit the land from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children"
Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ...a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream. - Barbara Winkler
To Plant a Garden is to have Faith in Tomorrow.
Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all?"
Gardening Keeps Me Growing!
Life is simple.
A weed is a plant whose virtues are yet to be discovered. -Someone famous said that but I don't remember who it was. I probably don't have it exactly word-for-word, either, but you get the point.
I would add that a weed is sometimes a plant whose virtues have been forgotten. Many "weeds" were once considered useful edible or medicinal plants.
I have read that many were actually brought by settlers from other countries for such purposes and they have become "non-native invasive species". I think the dandelion and the privit hedge are two of those and there are many, many more.
Yes, I do get the point, and it is well taken. Ha!
I have always been amazed to discover that some of the things we consider weeds are treasured plants in other places and visa versa.
Wake up happy
Chase a cloud
Water a garden
Laugh out loud .
A rose, by any other name, would still smell as sweet...
I would love to put that little poem on a sign of some kind, Scooter. I think that is wild that it was on paper towels. That is cool.
Yep, Shaz. If it were called Stink Plant it would still smell great, huh?

New York City Disney Store on Tuesday debuted its long-awaited new prototype, at The Shops at Montebello, in Montebello, Calif. Interactive technology plays a key role in the new design, whose features include a child-sized Disney Princess Castle, complete with a "magic mirror" in which a Disney Princess appears to tell a story. The Montebello store marks the first of 20 newly designed Disney Store locations that will open across major markets in the United States and Europe in 2010.
"Disney is setting a new standard for the specialty retail category by integrating robust technology and creative store planning to make each visit customizable and that much more memorable," Jim Fielding, president of Disney Stores Worldwide, said in a statement. "This is truly an immersive, one-of-a-kind retail experience for children and families that only Disney could deliver."
Each store will have a Disney Store Theater that will show animated and other short-form features. Customers can pick from a selection of pre-loaded content that will be updated regularly and can view classic and new Disney entertainment, sneak-peek previews, music videos and more. The theater will also serve for special in-store events such as reading time, scavenger hunts and more.
Additional features include the Disney•Pixar "Cars"-branded Ridemakerz attraction, an immersive car building and customizing experience. Launching with three favorite "Cars" characters from Disney's animated "Cars" movie, fans use tools to assemble their car, which can be customized with a wide selection of rims, side pipes, hoods scoops, blown engines, spoilers and many more accessories
The prototype also features an interactive kiosk with touch screen, which gives users the ability to navigate a 3-D view of all Disney Store and DisneyStore.com products and discover the latest Disney Store news via video clips, articles, and social media feeds. The application allows the Disney Store to share its news to customers, who can then share information and in-store events via email, Twitter and Facebook.
The newly designed Disney Store is scheduled to open this year in The Shops at Mission Viejo in Mission Viejo, Calif.; North State Street in Chicago (Block 37 Complex); Freehold Raceway Mall in Freehold, N.J.; and NorthPark Center in Dallas.
Other locations to feature the new Disney Store design opening this year include: Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, N.Y.; Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, Calif.; International Plaza in Tampa, Fla.; Fashion Valley in San Diego; Disney Store in Union Square in San Francisco; and a two-story Disney Store in Times Square in November.

Amidst a spring with a slew of open questions ranging from the arrival of a new offensive coordinator to plugging many holes on defense, LSU's first scrimmage serves as de facto testing lab for a program predicated on stability.
Yet Tigers coach Les Miles isn't inclined to lay out the criteria his slightly shuffled staff used as gauges for the assessing progress two weeks into spring workouts along Skip Bertman Drive.
"I want to seep physicality and the ability to throw it and run it, tackle it and hold on to the ball," Miles said early Thursday.
Clearly, any hints at tweaks or alterations to an offensive scheme under new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron would be met with interest, but it's unlikely -— based on Miles' statements — that the scrimmage would allow anyone to glean greater insights.
Right now, the plan is for the unit to operate solely out of first-and-10 situations, and not dig too deep into the play-call chart Saturday.
"We're going to call the things we've been calling to this point and see if we can execute it," Miles said. "That would be the basic plan."
At quarterback, senior Zach Mettenberger is entrenched on the topline of the depth chart, but any scrimmage work might be an early metric to deciding a pecking order further down the list between sophomore Stephen Rivers, early enrollee freshmen Hayden Rettig and Anthony Jennings.
Asked whether the assessment is based on which of the trio looks better overall or in specific packages out of the playbook, Miles remained cryptic.
"Both," he said.
As for what separation exists between Rettig and Rivers, age might be the biggest factor.
"Rettig is, understandably a freshman, and trying to figure it out," Miles said. "Rivers has been around here a little longer and has a better understanding of things."
Knitting together shreds of anecdotal evidence offers some insight into the dynamics at play on the offensive side of the ball, where in past stops Cameron in the NFL and college ranks has shown a tendency to make his system malleable to his personnel but naturally apply his own methods in practice.
Much has been made of Cameron, who arrived after spending five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, speeding up the tempo during practices, but in the past, the veteran coordinator has said he wants workouts to closely mimic game speed. Meanwhile, Miles has spent time this week working along side offensive line coach Greg Studrawa where "there's enough young guys there that will benefit from having some extra coaching."
"Teaching is like riding a bike, because once you've learned it, you have it," Miles said. "Teaching it is a lot harder than riding a bike."
There's also been a concerted effort to track and record dropped balls by receivers and tight ends, a nod to improving accountability among pass catchers, Miles said.
Center ElliotPorter is back in practice this week, but Miles was complimentary of freshman Ethan Pocic, who was envisioned more as a guard. "He's really a nice athlete, a really bright guy," Miles said. "He's accomplishing the center (position) very quickly, and we'd expect him to play in games at center very quickly." ... Senior linebacker Lamin Barrow's move to middle linebacker might not be required if D.J. Welter continues on his current trajectory. That move, though, would be predicated on Welter needing "to be of the best three," Miles said. "I can only tell you that he's much more sincere about his reps. There's a lot more attention to detail, and for him to win that job he's going to need that." ... LSU might use a by-committee approach to fulfill it's eight- to nine-man defensive line rotation. Right now, freshman Christian LaCoutre is being cycled through different spots. "We're getting LaCoutre a lot of works at a lot of different reps," Miles said. "That's really going to benefit him, because he'll end up being a back-up position in the fall and that will get him a lot of spring reps."

Photo Flash: First Look at Shakespeare on the Sound's ROMEO AND JULIET
The show's cast and creative team includes Joanna Settle (Director), and Stew and Heidi Rodewald (Music, Lyrics, and Additional Scenes), and the cast: Ali Ahn (Juliet), David Cale (Friar), Matt Citron (Mercutio), Will Cohn (Benvolio), William Jackson Harper (Romeo), Rachael Holmes (Lady Capulet/Tybalt), Damian Lemar Hudson (Singer/Paris), Chinasa Ogbuagu (Nurse), and Tony Torn (Capulet).
This year's production of Romeo and Juliet is conceived as a dinner party among eight friends who have an annual tradition of reading a Shakespeare play on a gorgeous summer's night. Over the course of reading the play, the story will take over and guests both on-stage and off will find themselves completely consumed by the momentum and poetry of the events in Shakespeare's great love story.
The production will premiere in Greenwich and then make its move to Rowayton, playing two locations on Long Island Sound: Baldwin Park in Greenwich (June 26 – July 8, 2012) and Pinkney Park in Rowayton (July 18 – July 29, 2012). For more information on Shakespeare on the Sound, visit www.shakespeareonthesound.org

El Niño is almost over, but the wreckage of things it knocked over in its wake continues—and one of those things is your sugar supply. Eat your desserts while you still can, friends.

Americans are used to breaking down their foods into different groups—and to plenty of different opinions about just what that breakdown should look like. But there's another category of food we haven't been tracking, one that now makes up more than half of everything we eat.

Play with your food. That's the moral of the story from Crazy Russian Hacker. He put marshmallows in one of those vacuum food containers, pumped out the air, and watched the squishy little white puffs balloon into ginormous monsters. It's all silly fun.

Losing weight and staying fit might be on your to-do list this year, and this time you might actually do it through a rigorous routine of eating healthy and getting regular exercise. But in the future you may not have watch what you eat as much, as researchers are studying ways to prevent excess sugar from turning into fat.
Yes, that means you might be able to eat all the sugar you want one day, without worrying about having to burn fat afterward. The discovery could also have massive implications in the management and treatment of diabetes.

This video is titled 'Granular Satisfaction' and there's really no better way to explain it. A mound of sugar disappearing into the vortex that is a cappuccino is so satisfying. You wait and wait and wait for it to happen and then it does and the black hole closes up and waits for its next grain victim.

Our favorite destroyer of objects, the red hot nickel ball, is back. This time it's torching artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Sweet N' Low and Truvia. Splenda and Sweet N' Low put up honorable fights but essentially caramelizes. Truvia, however, starts shooting out these weird spider web looking things when burned.
Comments Off on Burning artificial sweeteners releases some bizarre shooting webs
They're what stimulate your sweet tooth without adding girth to your waistline; they give diet colas and sugar-free snacks a saccharine kick without the consequences. At least that's the idea. But these sweeteners have been the subject of hoaxes and misinformation for years, slowly discrediting their wondrous health claims. Can you really, as Dr. Susan Swithers of Purdue University quips, "have your fake cake and eat it, too?"
Comments Off on What Are Artificial Sweeteners Really Doing to Our Bodies?
The delicious diabetes drink commonly known as soda is a true scientific wonder. We know it's crap but we love it anyway. CrazyRussianHacker wanted to show just how much crap (and sugar) is in one bottle of Coke so he boiled out all the water in the soda to see what was leftover. The refreshing soda becomes this gross, black, gunky tar-like substance that doesn't look edible. Cool.
Comments Off on Boiling Coca-Cola turns the soda into this gross black goopy tar
Sugar printing has always been difficult. Cooks were able to create sugar-based sculptures by hacking standard plastic printers but, in the end, the results have been, shall we say, less than sweet. Thankfully 3D Systems just launched the ChefJet line of 3D printers that can squirt out monochrome and full-color sugar sculptures.
The monochrome new printer will be in the sub-$5,000 range and be available later in 2014. There will be two models, the ChefJet 3D and the ChefJet Pro 3D. The Pro model is a full-color printer with a build volume 10x14x8 inches.
The standard model has a build volume of 8x8x6 inches.

Craftin Memories with Cheryl
- Cheryl Adams
- East Coast, United States
- I joined Nomades on my wedding anniversary. My husband was looking at military jewelry so I went searching for something with special meaning and found this wonderful company! I saw so many charms to build the story of the military journey my family has been on for 30 yrs that becoming a Consultant was a simple step. I love that the silver charms represent memories and stories to those who choose them. I continue my journey with Stampin' Up! as well - a Demonstrator since 2001 ... my stamps allow me to express my creative side. Stampin has also brought new and special friendships to my life and makes moving and meeting new friends so much easier.

Finally remembering that I even started this blog, and now the trick is trying to teach this old lady how to even work one is proving difficult. It may not be as wonderful as some I've seen out there but at least I am trying.

About us.
Bye Bye Plastic Bags is a social initiative driven by children, driven by the youth to get the people of Bali to say no to plastic bags. Founders and sisters, Melati (15) and Isabel (13) Wijsen started Bye Bye Plastic Bags 3 years ago when they were inspired by a lesson in class about significant people like Nelson Mandela, Lady Diana, Mahatma Ghandi. They went home that day and thought "What can we do as children living in Bali, what can we do NOW." Bye Bye Plastic Bags was born in 2013 and now has a volunteer team of 25-30 students from all schools around Bali, local and international. And has become a well known international movement of inspiration, youth empowerment, and of course, saying no to plastic bags.
Board Members
Our Crew
4 Pillars Of Focus
We believe so strongly that education is where the change can happen. We have created a 25 paged booklet in bahasa indonesian, illustrated by one of our local team members (aged 13), the booklet is all about waste management, marine debris, the simple 3r's, and youth empowerment! Our next step is to work with the government to get this implemented into all the school systems in Bali, and then hopefully Indonesia.
One Island One Voice
This is a campaign we started for Bali and has our total focus to highlight those shops, restaurants, hotels, etc that are plastic bag free by putting a sticker to indicate that it is part of the "One Island One Voice – Plastic Bag Free Zone" . We use the name and shame technique, and everyone that carries the sticker will get a shout out on all of our social media platforms.
Pilot Village
We run a pilot village called Pererenan, home to 800 local families. Every saturday we distribute alternative bags to the local shops and warungs. Its proven to be an intense lobbying where we learn more about the balinese culture; but we learn again, no change will happen without the local support. So we are committed to this village, and motivated to make it plastic bag free!
Young people from every corner of the world were the ones reaching out, the ones sending emails saying "Hey! I want to do Bye Bye Plastic Bags back where I come from!" Now, you can find Bye Bye Plastic Bags in Australia, Jakarta, Guadalajara, New York, Nepal, Myanmar, China, Singapore, and the Philippines. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT!!!

Two things you should know before undertaking Tim Burton's Ed Wood (1994): Edward D. Wood, Jr. (Johnny Depp) is not the worst filmmaker who ever lived, and his Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) is not the worst movie ever made. Not even close. A much truer assessment is that Wood is the most lovably inept filmmaker of all time, and his Plan 9 the one of the most-loved and famous bad movies ever made. Wood was a true auteur, a visionary—and he wasn't going to let a little thing like a complete lack of talent and judgment stand in his way. He was a perfect subject for a supremely talented auteur and visionary like Tim Burton—not in the least because Burton has always thrived on stories about people obsessed with things that no one else understands. In Wood's case, that was not only making goofy, indefensibly bad (but often entertaining) movies that nobody wanted to watch, but also his fetish for dressing up in women's clothes. An even greater appeal for Burton lay in depicting the strange friendship between Wood and faded horror star Bela Lugosi (Martin Landau). In Burton's mind, this reflected his own relationship with the aged Vincent Price—and that's largely why the film's version of that relationship omits certain messy details. In the main, however, the film does cover the basic facts—as long as those facts don't get in the way of Burton's vision. The very funny, very touching results make for a film that is quite possibly Burton's best movie.
The Asheville Film Society will screen Ed Wood on Tuesday, May 8, at 8 p.m. in the Cinema Lounge of The Carolina Asheville and will be hosted by Xpress movie critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther. Hanke is the artistic director of the A.F.S.

Do you like broadleaf tobacco? I cut my teeth on the stuff back in the day, puffing away on homely but tasty Muniemaker Breva 100s when I was in college. The cigars, then and now, were machine-made, but contained only tobacco. And they were wrapped with dark, rugged leaves of Connecticut broadleaf.
I recently returned from a short trip to several tobacco fields in north central Connecticut to look at the 2013 broadleaf crop for a story I'm doing on broadleaf for Cigar Aficionado. You'll read about it in the October issue. The plants were young, having just gone into the ground about a month prior to my visit, and had a long way to go in what had been a very rainy summer.
Some people are still surprised that the very northern, decidedly non-tropical state of Connecticut grows superb cigar tobacco. There's delicate and mild Connecticut shade, a tall plant that grows under tents of nylon, resulting in thin, light tan leaves found on such cigars as Macanudo and Fonseca.
Then there's broadleaf, a squat, bushy plant that basks in the straight sunlight and makes fat, thick and dark leaves. The bulk of it goes to machine-made cigars such as Backwoods, but the very best go on rich and dark maduro cigars, such as La Riquezas, Punch maduros and the ever rare and appealing Arturo Fuente Añejos. It's also the hallmark of the Liga Privada brand—named yesterday as the Hottest Cigar Brand in the United States by Cigar Insider.
Broadleaf has an inherent sweetness and big, bold earthy flavor. The crop goes into the ground in June, and workers were transplanting some of the year's final seedlings to a field when I made my trip. (Thankfully my visit was not on July 1, when a tornado touched down in a tobacco field in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. See our story on the damage here.)
The glacial soil of the Connecticut River Valley (think loam) and the hot, humid summers in central Connecticut make ideal conditions for the short growing cycle required by tobacco plants. Broadleaf is old school tobacco. They don't grow as much of it today as they once did (fewer than 2,000 acres a year are harvested today, five times smaller than what it was in the 1950s), because the lands where this tobacco thrives often earn a dear price as real estate. It's a cumbersome job to take care of a tobacco plant, and with a big, bold leaf like broadleaf, which can take three years or more to go from seed to smoke, it takes patience and pride to make it work. But cigar smokers like you are giving new life to this rustic old leaf.
Look for my story about the history of this interesting leaf in the next Cigar Aficionado, and in a few weeks check out the video I shot from the fields. And the next time you light up a maduro made with broadleaf, think about the hard work, time and history that went into that intriguing product.

Totally awesome information.
But, nothing can beat so many of the cool videos that you all have produced.
I'm very happy to hear that you're such a fan of our videos. We have more on the way, including one from the fields you see in the photo.
All the best,
David Savona
I am looking forward to this article. Big time.

Ukrainian 'tour guide' stays with Hastings family
Have you ever wanted to travel to another country, but just cannot do it? Then hosting a foreign exchange student might be something for you to consider. Roman Polishchuk from Ukraine has been his country's "tour guide" for Curt and Sharon Aaseng this past school year.
"We feel like we have been on a vacation to Ukraine these past 10 months," Sharon said. "Roman has been a constant ambassador for Ukraine while he's been with us, expanding our knowledge of Ukraine, whether that means explaining the differences between the two countries, showing us videos of Ukraine online, or showing us parts of Ukrainian culture that he is particularly proud of. A big surprise for me was hearing Roman's favorite trance music for the first time (hugely popular there now) and really enjoying it."
The decision to host a student felt completely comfortable to both Aasengs.
"Being empty-nesters, Curt and I had decided last year to host an exchange student, having hosted four other students for short periods of time in the past and enjoying those experiences," Sharon said. "Since we both speak Norwegian and I know a little French, we had originally thought of targeting students with those languages. However, the AFS representative in Hastings, Anne Mellesmoen, gave us a stack of short profiles of different students, then some essays to read, and Curt and I both agreed that Roman was our top choice. Roman's information appealed to us because he wrote about his wide variety of interests. We also learned, later, that he was part of the FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange) program, which is funded by the U.S. government to promote cultural understanding with countries that were part of the former Soviet Union. He was one of 47,000 FLEX applicants undergoing a lengthy process of paperwork and multiple interviews before being one of the 800 students chosen."
Roman has described this as feeling like he won the lottery, that he was able to come to America as a FLEX student.
Roman arrived in Minnesota in early August 2012. From the start, he was easy to talk to and understand, had a great sense of humor, and was very open to any activity proposed. One of the first things he did in Hastings was to attend a Cruise-In with his host parents. He loved seeing all the cars displayed, and even got a ride in the antique car of Hastings teen David Pochardt.
Roman comes from a small village. Liublynets has a population of a few thousand, and it is near the much larger city of Kovel, in northwestern Ukraine near the Polish border. His family consists of father Oleksandr, mother Svitlana, and older brothers Stas, who is married, and Dima.
He has attended Hastings High School as a junior. Roman pointed out the differences between here and home.
"At my school, there are students of all ages in the same building. Most teachers are Soviet-trained, so young teachers are not common. The teachers are really strict and they give us lots of homework, much more than they do here. We don't have many computers and no smart boards, but the education standards are very high. We concentrate on subjects like history, mathematics and geography. I wear a suit to school. Because it's a short walk to my family's apartment, I go home for lunch. The school day goes from 8:30 a.m. to anywhere from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. It's been fun to try classes here that we don't have at home, like photography. I've had some really nice teachers here at Hastings. If Mr. Lutz was a teacher at my school in Ukraine, he would be the best teacher ever. And everyone would want to take ceramics with Mr. Casperson."
Extra-curricular activities like sports and musical groups are not offered in Ukraine. Roman participated in soccer, a school play and tennis here at HHS.
"At home, even though we don't have sports teams after school, everyone plays soccer. You really live for soccer, like in other countries in Europe. My friends and I play soccer whenever we can. Even if we only have five minutes between classes, we go out and kick a ball around. We usually play on a short field with just a few guys. Ukraine has some really great teams and players, like Andriy Shevchenko."
With all the options of extra-curricular activities, part-time jobs, and volunteer opportunities, Roman has seen how busy American teenagers are. Perhaps that is the biggest difference he has noticed.
"Where I'm from, I'm with my friends every day. In Ukraine, people really make time for their friends. If you have something you want to do, and your friend needs you, what is the question? You go to your friend. If he needs help, then help him."
Even though Roman has eaten occasionally at McDonalds and other restaurants while here, he is more used to home-cooking every day. Restaurant meals are a rare treat. His family owns a garden plot the size of a football field where they grow potatoes, carrots and other vegetables to use throughout the year. They don't generally buy vegetables at the store. They often buy directly from farmers, things like eggs and dairy foods. Meat is not eaten very often. Home-canning is done on a regular basis.
Ukrainian foods include borshch, a soup made with beets and other vegetables; varenyky, dumplings filled with potatoes, similar to Polish pierogies; and mlynci, crepes filled with cheese and blueberries or poppy seeds. Curt and Sharon have been treated to these and other foods made by Roman from his family's recipes. For Ukrainian Orthodox Easter, which was May 5, Roman made sure that the Aasengs tried paska, a special bread made with sweet dough.
For Orthodox Easter at home, the church service starts at 10 p.m. Saturday and goes until 5 a.m. Easter morning. The congregation stands for virtually the entire time. Food is brought in baskets to the church to be blessed. At home, Roman says, his family colors 100 to 150 eggs, giving about 50 to family and friends and eating the rest themselves.
When he returns home May 15, Roman will prepare to take his exams in early June and await the results so he can enter a Ukrainian university this fall. His year of school in the U.S. will not be credited, as is the case for many students who come to America for high school.
Roman would like to study international business and diplomacy as he continues his education. His dream would be to study at an American university, but with very limited finances back home, he would need a generous scholarship to do this.
For Curt and Sharon, Roman has been the perfect match for them as their exchange student. As Sharon explained her feelings as a host parent: "It's not like you are expected to be a seeing-eye dog for your student. You're not trying to help them compensate for something they've lost or are missing. It's more like you're a police dog - you are put together with a partner, and you come to realize that you would defend that courageous officer with your life."

How to Pick a Fire Escape Ladder
Author: Mark Simon
Fires start quick and spread even quicker which often leads to panic during a dangerous situation. A well prepared home is the best defense for saving your family during a dire time of need such as a fire. If you live in a multistory home or apartment building then a fire escape ladder is one product you must have for a safe exit. It is very common for a building fire to cutoff access to certain areas including stairways and elevators. Not to mention, it can be very dangerous to use an elevator during a fire since you have no idea where the fire has spread. Here are some tips on picking a reliable escape ladder that will always be there for you during an emergency.

I've seen a few (enemy) spec-ops specialising outfits recently. Last night we dropped on a base with a pretty hefty public platoon and were holding it quite nicely until a spec-ops styled outfit regrouped and pushed us out.
I definitely think we should be marketing ourselves as having a specific purpose in game, fast response or whatever (though tbh we could do with getting better at that :P) - there's no way we can compete with the big outfits for mass teamplay etc.
