When we think of American football, tailgate foods like grilled meats, pizza, wings, and various dips and appetizers generally come to mind.
Those are tried-and-true tailgate foods, but what's a party without dessert? Whether you're hosting a get-together in the comfortable confines of your own home or on the road, every occasion needs something sweet to cap it off. In honor of the 100-year anniversary of professional American football, we've provided you with three easy, crowd-pleasing recipes to bring to your next tailgate party.
You've likely heard of game day savory cheese dips shaped like footballs or basketballs. We elevated this classic from appetizer to dessert with a sweet cheesecake ball that will tempt your guests to swoop in two — or 10 — times for a dip. Instead of using crackers as a scooping vessel, use crushed up Joy Sugar Cones and Joy Waffle Cones for a distinct crunch.
Next, we took the traditional cupcake we all know and love and updated it with a football spin and baked the cupcakes into Joy Jumbo Cups. As you make these, get your football-enthused youngsters involved to help you top the sugary treats with frosting to mimic football laces.
Finally, transform the warm, comforting combination of apples and cinnamon into a portable, handheld treat with our take on apple crisp enJOY-a-Bowls®. This no-hassle apple crisp takes on new heights with our easy, three-ingredient homemade caramel sauce. Pro tip: Take the kids to an apple orchard to pick fresh apples for your dessert!
Football-Shaped Cheesecake Ball
What You'll Need:
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 package mini chocolate chips
- Small handful white chocolate chips
- 1 box Joy Waffle Cones
- 1 box Joy Sugar Cones
What To Do:
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until combined. Stir in ¾ cup mini chocolate chips.
- Place two large pieces of plastic wrap on your counter and transfer the cream cheese mixture onto the plastic wrap. Secure the mixture tightly inside the plastic wrap and form into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Remove the cheesecake ball from the fridge and place the ball (without the plastic it was wrapped in) onto your serving platter.
- Place a fresh piece of plastic wrap over the cheesecake ball and, using your hands, work it into a football shape.
- Decorate by covering the cheesecake ball with remaining mini chocolate chips. Create the football laces by adding white chocolate chips (point-side down).
- Place Joy Waffle Cones and Joy Sugar Cones in a zip-top bag and crush to create bite-size pieces.
- Scatter crushed cones around the football cheesecake ball and enjoy!
Jumbo Football Cupcake Cones
What You'll Need:
- Chocolate cake mix – typically requires water, three eggs, and ½ cup of cooking oil
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ⅓ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 16 Joy Jumbo Cups
What To Do:
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. Once the cake mix is ready, fill the cake cones ⅔ full of cake mix. To bake, place the filled cake cones in a muffin or cupcake tin and gently put in the oven. Bake the cones filled with cake mix in the oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove the cones from the oven and allow to cool.
- While the cake-filled cones bake, start on the buttercream frosting. Use the paddle attachment of your stand mixer (if you don't have a stand mixer, you can easily use an electric hand mixer or even a whisk) to cream the butter on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract and beat on high until the frosting is creamy, fluffy, and holds its peaks, about 2 minutes.
- Remove ¼ of the frosting and place in a separate bowl. You'll use the white frosting later for the "laces" on the footballs.
- For the chocolate frosting, turn the stand mixer (an electric hand mixer or whisk will also do the trick) to low speed. Add the cocoa powder and slowly drizzle in the milk. Mix until combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Once the cake cones have cooled, place the chocolate frosting in a pastry bag along with a star tip, or gallon-sized zip-top bag with one corner cut out and star tip inserted inside. If you don't have a piping tip, your piping will be less detailed but it will work just fine without one. Using a zig-zag motion, pipe the frosting onto the cupcake cones.
- Place the white frosting in a separate pastry bag or gallon-sized zip-top bag (again, with the corner cut out). Use the bag to pipe the football "laces," starting with one long horizontal line and proceeding with four or five small vertical lines.
Apple Crisp enJOY-a-Bowls®
What You'll Need:
Apple Crisp:
- 6 apples of your choice (we like Honeycrisp and Pink Lady), peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup old fashioned oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, diced into small cubes
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 box enJOY-a-Bowls®
- Whipped cream, optional
Caramel Sauce:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
What To Do:
Caramel Sauce:
- Combine brown sugar and heavy cream into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar begins to melt.
- Add the butter. Once the butter completely melts, bring mixture to a rolling boil.
- Reduce heat to low and continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Apple Crisp Waffle Bowls:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine apples, granulated sugar, ¾ teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon juice. The lemon juice is important, as it prevents the apples from turning brown.
- Mix brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and diced cold butter in a separate bowl. Use a fork to mix until it forms a pebble-like mixture.
- Transfer the apples to the baking dish and spread the brown sugar mixture evenly on top. Bake until the topping is golden brown and bubbly, about 40-50 minutes. Allow 5-10 minutes to cool slightly.
- Fill each enJOY-a-Bowl with a scoop of apple crisp. Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with whipped cream if you like (If you go this route, we like using canned whipped cream). Enjoy immediately after assembling to ensure a crisp enJOY-a-Bowl.

Science magazine Nautilus announced a new publishing partnership with The MIT Press aimed at boosting circulation and marketing for the brand's bimonthly print product.
Beginning with the January 2016 issue, MIT Press will co-publish print issues alongside NautilusThink, the parent organization behind the brand's magazine and website.
"We were looking for an established partner that could expand our subscription, retail and institutional sales and marketing better than we could alone," John Steele, Nautilus founder and publisher, tells Folio:.
Founded in 2013 and with 11 issues published to date, Nautilus expanded from a quarterly print schedule to bimonthly editions last year, slimming from 192 pages per issue to 128, according to Steele. Each edition features in-depth, mutliple-perspective coverage of two themes by renowned experts in the scientific community, curated by editor-in-chief Michael Segal and supplemented with original, full-page color illustrations.
The magazine has made quite a splash since its launch, racking up accolades including two National Magazine Awards (Ellies) in 2015. While the brand claimed 650,000 unique monthly visitors to its website in 2014, however, its print circulation stood at just 6,000.
For Steele, the next step in guiding the fledgling publication to maturity meant finding a co-publisher who not only possessed the resources to bring Nautilus to a larger audience, but had an established record of success in academic publishing.
"We have a lot of ties ot MIT on one level," Steele tells Folio:. "On another, MIT Press publishes over 30 journals. They know how to tell smart magazines. It's a rare skill set in publishing."
The partnership won't mean any changes for the brand's business model, says Steele. A one-year subscription to Nautilus costs $49, according to Steele. Single issues can also be purchased online or in stores at a cover price of $12.
Neither will the magazine's digital operations be much affected by the new partnership; Steele says Nautil.us will continue to explore single monthly topics separate from the print product.
"Nautilus will be the same magazine," Steele concludes. "We think a partnership with MIT Press will be more successful than going it alone."
Update: An earlier version of this story included sale prices for Nautilus subscriptions. They have been updated to reflect the regular prices.

text: top-shelf-1 Report post Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) I'd love to see a legit RW signed, and it could happen. But if it happens through free agency, I don't think it's gonna be an old guy looking for term; RF has said as much. And while Stamkos is 26, a 10-year deal with the NTC he will demand (and that someone will give him) makes him 36, and ties you to him throughout what, all the metrics show, will be years of declining production. A $100 million bet? I think RF is too smart for that. I'm certain PK is too cheap. Now to be clear, I'll just re-state my opener: I'd love to see a legit RW signed, and it could happen. But... Then I look at what we've already done this summer and the competition that will be occurring in camp for two - count 'em, TWO - open roster slots: Skinner-Rask-TT Nord-Staal-Nest PDG-Lindholm-??? Bickell-McClement-??? Maybe the lines don't shake out that way, granted. But conspicuous by their absence are a slew of FAs who were on the roster at the end of last year but we haven't yet signed: Terry, Gerbe, Nash, Malone. My money says all but Nash are gone, although I think BP likes Terry and he could also remain for depth. Malone might too, even he spends most of his time in CLT. But let's say, in terms of the NHL roster, it's only Nash, and that he plays on McC's other flank. If that's so, we're now down to one roster slot--for which all the following players (in no particular order) will be competing in camp: Aho (that's right, Aho is NOT in the listing above, and I think we all expect him to be on the opening-night roster), McGinn, Zykov, Tolchinsky, Saarela, Camara, Brown, Shugg, Sutter, Woods. Nine guys. Again: I totally want that high-end RW. But what if he's not there, for any number of rea$on$? In that case, I can absolutely see the brain trust saying, "We've got more than enough guys to let competition dictate who's gonna make it--and if all we end up doing is trading the 5-5 Gerbe for the three-inches-taller Tolchinksy on the fourth and slotting Aho on the third, we're already, thanks to TT and Bickell, a far better team than we were three months ago." Indeed, I think our moves up to now were carefully designed so that, if nothing is there via FA or trade, we're still okay. I'm still hoping for more of the "magic" BP promised. But I also think an important, fundamental dynamic has changed on this team: We've acquired and are developing guys with legit NHL aptitude and challenging them to show they deserve ice time, versus signing anybody we can and giving them ice time by default.

A project found on Indiegogo, the crowd-funding website for startup projects, states that malaria can be found and cured in Bangka, an island in Indonesia, using an iPhone-based malaria diagnostics kit.
The researchers believe that if the disease can be found and treated in time, it could lead to its complete eradication from the island. They even believe that, if the project proves to be a success, it can be rolled out on a large-scale in Africa as well.
"We want to prove that we can have a significant effect on malaria case management throughout one of these regions. The first study of this kind will take place on Bangka Island in Indonesia. With this study, we have set ourselves the goal of eradicating malaria from the entirety of Bangka Island during malaria high season." the team of researchers state.
The kit itself is called IanXen RAPID and consists of a iPhone, a portable microscope attached to it, blood slides and lancet pen.
The process seems simple enough too. A blood drop is placed on the slide, having it be examined through the microscope by an app. The results are then said to be given out in a matter of seconds.
The team of researchers believe that this method could be a great solution for a much wider deployment by enabling diagnosis to be carried out with a fully portable kit and at a much lower cost than conventional equipment.
On Indiegogo, the project asks for small donation fee of just £5 / $8.50, stating that it will help fund the project and can even get your name mentioned on the project's Twitter feed. Also, people feeling generous can even opt for one of the higher donation levels available on the website.

Hi All.
Some time ago I used a photograph of my ex-employer's father; William Ellis Archibald Daw's WW1 naval career as a question in the military quiz.
A couple of weeks ago we found a stack of old letters belonging to this young man, as well as finding out that he served on
Q-Ships, not just the one as we thought, as well as the HMS Marshal Soult (a Big Gun Monitor) he also served on the HMS Auricula (a Flower Class Escort Sloop, NOT to be confused with the later WW2 Flower Class Corvette) and from there his last posting was to guess what! the HMS Victory!
Pictured below is his copy of the Admiralty Instruction, ordering him to report there in March 1918.
It's nice to find these little bits of Victory history!

Thats fab, its really interesting when you can find out about your families history where they were what they did.
My Grandfather also served on victory as a new recruits instructor he used to do rigging training.

Analysis of advanced strip shape during cold rolling of thin strip
Publication Details
Jiang, Z., Du, X., Du, Y., Wei, D. He, X. (2010). Analysis of advanced strip shape during cold rolling of thin strip. Materials Science Forum, 654-656 206-209.
The demand of thin gauge strip with good quality such as the strip shape and surface finish is significantly increasing. In this study, finite element model of the strip shape during cold rolling of thin strip in asymmetrical rolling was developed, and the finite element simulation of the thin strip shape has been carried out in LS-DYNA. The effects of reduction and speed ratio on the strip shape and profile and the strip edge drop have been obtained. The developed finite element model has been verified with the experimental data. The obtained results are applicable to the control of the rolled thin strip shape in rolling practice.

Abstracted from the DailyMailOnline – 1 February 2011
Article in full: www.dailymail.co.uk/health/
At 68, Christine Sharp has been crippled with the brittle bone disease osteoporosis. She's shrunk six inches (from 5ft 3in to under 4ft 10in), while any small movement leaves her in terrible pain. Standing is agonising.
Christine (pictured left) believes all this misery could have been avoided if she'd been given a simple bone scan following a fall.
Fourteen years ago, she slipped on ice and fractured a bone in her spine. A scan would have detected the early symptoms of osteoporosis and she'd have been able to start treatment with bone-boosting drugs such as bisphosphonates, vitamin D and calcium tablets.
Instead, it wasn't until Christine had another fall and suffered three more spinal fractures that the condition was discovered.
Christine's experience is alarmingly common. One in three women and one in five men aged 50 or older in Britain has osteoporosis, an age-related disease that affects the way the bone cells renew themselves. As a result, the bone becomes less dense and more prone to breaks.
Women are at greater risk because their levels of oestrogen – the bone-protective hormone – fall with age.
The problem is that the condition has no symptoms until a fracture occurs. The danger is if the sufferer falls and fractures a hip.
Britain has one of the highest rates of hip fracture in Europe. Last year, there were 80,000 cases; by 2020, it could be 100,000. Every year, nearly a third of these patients die as a result, 28,000 will never walk properly again and 12,000 have to go into residential care.
The gold standard tool for checking for osteoporosis is a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan to measure bone density. Under official guidelines, all women older than 50 who have fallen and suffered a fracture are meant to have this scan to check for osteoporosis and assess the risk of future fractures.
It's estimated that such screening – and subsequent preventative treatments – would cut the risk of a second fracture by half. Osteoporosis experts and organisations such as the Royal Osteoporosis Society are campaigning for improved fracture care.

Actual Drivers, Pot, Alcohol, and Texting. Adams County Sheriff's Office Hosts First of Its Kind Driver Impairment Awareness Day to Educate Consumers on the Risks.
Jul 10, 2018, 08:47 ET
DENVER, July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Adams County Sheriff's Office and Dacorum Strategies, a Denver based Government Affairs and Public Policy/Education firm for the cannabis industry, partner to present a first of its kind Driver Impairment Awareness Day utilizing onsite consumption of either marijuana or alcohol, and an actual driving test to educate consumers around the risk of driving drunk, high or distracted.
As the state of Colorado and communities all over the United States work to manage legal cannabis, many new unintended consequences have arisen. One such issue revolves around impairment and driving. Both alcohol and marijuana remain the central causes of automobile crashes in Colorado and in a recent survey of nearly 12,000 drivers, CDOT found that 70% stated they had driven high in the last year. Even more concerning, nearly 50% of those surveyed indicated they felt driving high was safe. When we combine these new statistics with the fact that each year over 26,000 people are arrested for DUI, and Distracted driving accounts for approximately 25% of all motor vehicle crash fatalities, it's clear we have a dire need to ramp up efforts which support safe driving. This private event will give consumers and law enforcement an opportunity to educate while being educated on the growing impairment issues around the United States.
"As a person nearly killed in a rear end collision by a distracted driver, I feel passionate about teaching consumers about the harm these seemingly innocent behaviors cause," says Dacorum Strategies CEO, Todd Mitchem. "Also, as a firm that represents cannabis industry organizations, mainstream companies looking to be in the industry and consumers, we feel a responsibility to emphasize the fact that driving impaired, regardless of substance, is an epidemic that must be stopped. We are thankful for Sheriff Mike McIntosh's dedication to ending impaired driving."
This event will be held at the Adams County Sheriff's FLATROCK Regional Training Center on July 16th from 10 am – 4 pm. Willing volunteers will be carefully administered controlled doses of either marijuana or alcohol, with a third group texting, will be observed driving in vehicles provided by Mile High Driver Training. Their owner, Charles LaMonaca, stated, "We are also excited to help with this important day. Teen safety is our #1 concern." Adams County Sheriff deputies will observe the closed safety course exercise so they can learn firsthand about the differences each impairment causes in driver capabilities. "We are thrilled to host this Impairment Day at our facility because we believe it will help send a message to consumers showing them it is not worth them drinking, using marijuana or texting while driving," says Adams County Sheriff Mike McIntosh. "Our deputies will then give field sobriety tests for each participant at the various stages of impairment. I believe together we can curb the tragic injuries and fatalities these impairments cause."
The non-scientific Impairment Day event is designed to sound the alert to all consumers that driving high, drunk or otherwise distracted is a huge issue and one they must take seriously.
Where: Adams County Sheriff's FLATROCK Training Facility; 23600 128th Ave, Commerce City, CO
Date and Time: July 16, 2018 from 10am – 4pm
Individuals who wish to be in the group of volunteers of either alcohol or marijuana should contact us at [email protected] (Drivers must have a valid Colorado drivers license, proof of car insurance, proof of health insurance and be at least 21 years of age.)
Media is invited to attend to help educate consumers. If you're a member of the press or wish to be the top sponsor for this event, and wish to participate, please email: [email protected]
About Dacorum
Headquartered in Colorado, Dacorum Strategies™ proudly represents a very select client base in the area of government affairs as well as public policy for the legal cannabis industry, which includes both marijuana and hemp companies.

the post that wasn't
I have a memory of someone on my friends list making a post about the elder women of her family getting together because a very old member of her family was dying of a painful illness that couldn't be cured and was considering euthanasia. After looking at her journal just a second ago I see that she never made that post, so, it seems that memory was part of a dream fragment even though my mind is babbling "but she really said that, honestly!" Now I can't seem to get that false memory out of my head.

I wrote some GCN assembly code using ROCm. Everything works, but now I'm told it must work with AMDGPU-PRO drivers on Linux without ROCm and with Catalyst drivers on Windows, so I figured I'll switch to CLRadeonExtender (I must thank the author for creating it again), unless there's some way of compiling GCN asm code offline for the regular drivers and for windows with ROCm. I'm pretty sure the code itself will work, but I can't figure out the kernel setup and initialization part.
For instance, I have a kernel that uses
- 64 bit pointers;
- 64 VGPRs;
- 32 SGPRs (including VCC);
- 4K of LDS;
- 4K of GDS;
- 2 64-bit pointers as the arguments.
Below is the header/beginning of the file that I use with ROCm/HSA for this kernel, including loading of the parameters. Can anybody point me to the equivalent setup that I need to do with CLRadeonExtender?
Thank you in advance,

The "Cosmos" Cinematographers
Oyster, David, American Cinematographer
Working long hours under difficult conditions and with many directors, camera crews roamed the world to shoot vital sequences for COSMOS
A series the size and nature of COSMOS relies heavily on the skills of its cinematographers in order to maintain visual style and continuity. We were fortunate in having two very good cinematographers on this series: Hilyard J. Brown of the United States and Chris O'Dell of England. Both of these men are broadly experienced and equally at home whether shooting hand-held in a rice paddy, or a mission control room, or perched atop a crane while filming with a full crew and period-costumed actors and sets, or working with elaborate camera systems for special effects shooting.
In selecting a cinematographer, it is hard to decide which good one to to use; there are so many. It is ultimately a question of the chemistry of the show and the people who are producing, directing, writing or appearing in it. …

Ways to Take Good Pictures
Taking pictures at weddings is a very important thing to do, and for that you will most certainly want to hire Utah wedding photographers for Salt Lake City wedding photography, but at other times you can take your own great pictures. There are some things to remember when you do try to take your own pictures and a lot of conceptual things that, although they may be tiny and may seem unimportant, they make a big difference in the end and can really change the way your photos come out and can most certainly change a good picture into a great picture.
Choosing your subjects is of course an important part of taking photos, you will of course want to take pictures of the people who are close to you so you can reminisce later on in time, but timing has a lot to do with the pictures you take because after all, a picture is just a representation of only one moment in time and since there are going to be high times and low times at any event that you are part of, you will have to get a sense of when those are and be sure that you are taking pictures during that time. Take pictures of your friends when they are having fun, and some of the best pictures will be when they are not posing for them. Another important thing to consider is focus, and a lot of cameras these days have a very short exposure time so that your pictures will have time to focus and so that you will not miss a moment that will never happen again in the course of time because your camera was too slow to focus for the brief time that you needed it to do its job. Another thing you will want to do is to pay attention to the way you compose your picture by trying to divide the image into thirds for better composition and better depth in the picture.

Checking for direct PDF access through Ovid Abstract Background:Although community-acquired bacteremia is an important cause of childhood mortality in Africa, recognition of disease burden and potential impact of bacterial vaccines is limited.Methods:Blood cultures for bacterial pathogens were conducted systematically among children <15 years of age admitted to Manhiça District Hospital, from 2001 to 2006.Results:Blood-stream infections were identified in 8% (1550/19,896) of pediatric hospital admissions. Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) and Pneumococcus were the most prevalent pathogens isolated (26% and 25% of 1550 cases, respectively). Until 28 days of life, Staphylococcus aureus (39%) and group B Streptococcus (20%) predominated. Incidence of community-acquired bacteremia per 100,000 child-years was 1730/105 in children <1 year old, 782/105 in 1–4 year oldd, and 49/105 in children 5 years and older. Case-fatality of bacteremia was 12%. Community-acquired bacteremia associated mortality accounted for 21% (162/788) of hospital deaths. Resistance to antibiotics commonly used in Mozambique was high among invasive isolates of Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, and NTS.Conclusions:Community-acquired bacteremia is an important cause of pediatric hospital admission and death in rural African hospitals. The high burden of disease, mortality, and pattern of antibiotic resistance associated with bacteremia underscore the need for prevention in Sub-Saharan Africa.

New York citizens hopeful that their legislature would pass a bill in 2018 that allows for regulated online poker will have to pin those hopes on 2019 as this year's legislative session came to a close without such a measure finding approval in both the Senate and the Assembly.
The last day to consider legislation came and went on June 20, marking another year of discussions and progress toward i-poker regulation that eventually fell by the wayside. While there is always the chance that a special session will be called in order to address the issue, that possibility doesn't seem likely and it appears that another six months will go by before New York lawmakers will convene again.
If there's a bright spot to be gleaned from the failure to move forward with online poker regulation in New York, it comes in the form of sports betting. With states now able to offer wagering on sports in light of a US Supreme Court ruling just months ago, we may see New York legislators eventually propose a bill that combines online poker with sports bets.
Other States Push Forward
The neighboring states of New Jersey and Delaware have already rolled out sports betting regimes. West Virginia and Pennsylvania won't be far behind, according to numerous reports. If New York lawmakers continue sitting on their hands, revenue will be lost as New Yorkers will take their sports betting action to other states.
Combining online poker with sports betting in the same bill was discussed by New York legislators previously this year. Poker players can only hope that similar discussions will take place again in 2019 because online poker's biggest supporter in New York, Senator John Bonacic, has announced his retirement.
Bonacic pushed for i-poker regulations for the past three years and had the support of his fellow Senators. It was in the Assembly that progress stalled, despite the efforts of Assemblyman Clyde Vanel, who was able to get the backing of dozens of his colleagues – which may bode well for next year depending upon the results of the upcoming elections in November.
Hopes Dashed
When 2018 began, New York was at the top of the list of potential states that could join the online poker party. That party remains rather small with only Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania the only states to advance regulations since given the right to do so following a 2011 ruling by the US Department of Justice.
When 2019 begins, Bonacic will no longer be championing the cause. Let's hope his work on i-poker the last few years wasn't in vain and that the online poker bill that he moved through the full Senate is once again made relevant.
The best scenario is that the next six months will see online poker supporters in New York craft a new proposal for 2019. Coupling the measure with sports betting would improve online poker's chances, so hopefully lawmakers will make it happen.

Raw Boys
by Kathryn Osenlund
A "mixed" couple originally from Belfast-- he's Protestant, she's Catholic-- have two sons, Billy and Shane. The boys, very different, share the scars of their upbringing in a London Council flat where their parents " use whiskey and lager to pretend they don't remember things."
This play is composed of to-die-for solo parts. Monologue, not live character conflict, is the engine that drives the play's themes. These successive monologues and brief dialogues shed light on each member of the family. The three males have dreams of making it in music, acting, or poetry. The mother seems to have no ambitions beyond survival in a male world. Audience members, but not the other characters, are privy to the insecurities, longings, and isolation of each character. Raw Boys most lyrical moments are descriptions of past events.
The music gets into a slow groove. The lights and the acting are just perfect as James Gale as William, the father, gives a transporting recollection of the time he saw Otis Redding and Otis Redding saw him in the crowd. He says, ":How could I just live out the rest of my life after seeing that?" Gale delivers the goods as the disappointed, and abusive father.
Rose, the mother, fragile with her faded loveliness and lost hope (played with great skill by Nancy Boykin), has a wonderful, poignant monologue about how the Council flat families hear each other's lives through the walls. She describes encounters when women with party walls pass in the halls or on the street, and would like to say something to each other, but they don't say it. Rose, a thin reed, is unable to protect her sons from her tyrannical husband. It's surprising that this Orlandersmith play has no strong women's roles.
Billy (Jamie Harris) and his brother Shane (John Keating) are poisoned by their father's abuse, victims of behavior patterns handed down from grandfather to father to son. In a highly charged scene, Billy (Jamie Harris) delivers a striking monologue, violent, raw, and sad, describing his first sexual encounter at sixteen. Billy can't understand or accept a girl who has feelings for him. Harris proves himself to be a powerful presence on the stage in this scene and in many others. This guy is a fabulous actor.
The second act has some marvelous individual ingredients, but it dissipates the dramatic tension which was built up in the first act. It does contain a singular and powerful scene of conflict between the brothers; would that there were more scenes like this.
Advance publicity noted this play's Nuyorican element, but actually that is a side issue and a bit of a detour. Not introduced until the second act, the New York Puerto Rican father, played with ease and grace by Mateo Gomez, has one basic function in the play: to lead Shane to Alta, his daughter.
Alta (a fine, fresh January LaVoy) is seen on stage just long enough to illustrate Shane's problem: Like his brother, he cannot accept a woman's love. Although he easily could become involved with a woman of another ethnicity, he must feel that she is in his intellectual league. If he can't respect Alta as a poet, then he can't relate to her as a potential mate. With excellent verbal ability to carry this demanding role, along with a feel for the character's attitudes, John Keating shines as Shane.
A post-realistic trend for distancing is highly evident in Blanka Zizka's direction. This brave re-envisioning and reconfiguring of tired old realism results in an almost counter intuitive displacement of actors. The actors are kept physically separated most of the time, with dialogue flung across the stage. There's a fight where a punch is thrown and the other person, five feet away, falls. Interesting in concept, but alienating in execution, post-realism is like the theater version of Nouvelle Cuisine-- you don't know whether to eat it or look at it. The few encounters where actors actually collide and interact do not always pack the punch they should, maybe because these moments are too few and too isolated to accumulate intimacy.
The set is quite interesting. Twenty or thirty mismatched chairs are on the stage. A few of them plus a small table are placed on top of a very large platform made up of many tables. The rest of the chairs line the perimeter of the platform. Twenty or thirty mismatched lights are suspended from above. During the production, various ingenious combinations of these lights are used, including a couple of surprise lighting choices.
Orlandersmith's extraordinary virtuosity with language is Raw Boys' greatest plus and paradoxically also its greatest minus. It draws attention to itself, demanding admiration on a separate plane, keeping the characters from interacting as real people in a believable way, and turning their utterances into stunning displays, be they elegant or crude, rough or precious. Even regular bloke talk sings with poetry, and Shane's final address is a formal recitation. With Raw Boys' heavy familial themes, occasional humor, and high-flying poetic expression, it's as if Eugene O'Neill smashed headlong into a William Jennings Bryan oration. Or, alternately, it is like painstakingly photographed shots of individual family members who are never brought together for a family portrait.
One wants to see these characters interact dramatically and be more intimately connected on stage. This work, however, is refreshing in that it has actual depths that can be plumbed. It's not all hanging out on the surface. Yet, however stunningly written, Raw Boys is more a recital or nonstop lyric poem than it is a play, and at the end you are dazzled, but not touched.
Easy-on-the budget super gift for yourself and your musical loving friends. Tons of gorgeous pictures.

Silvaggi to run as a petition candidate
Silvaggi said Thursday he was about eight signatures short of the 173 needed to force a primary. Although he received more than 197 signatures, some were from members of the Democratic Party and weren't valid.
"We were a little disappointed, because we really wanted the opportunity to take part in a primary," he said. "But that's not going to happen. Now is the time to pick ourselves up and move forward."
Silvaggi easily had the 18 signatures required to join the ballot as a petition candidate.
He entered the political arena after retiring as a social studies teacher in Greenwich, where he worked for 36 years. He said he decided to join the race after people from both sides of the political aisle voiced concerns about incumbent First Selectman Jerry Murphy running unopposed in the last two elections.
"People want more choices and we're hoping to build on that," he said. "There are a lot of people who aren't happy with Murphy and aren't happy that they didn't have a choice in the last election."
Murphy credits officials with the registrar of voters office for completing a fair and accurate job counting the signatures.
"Democracy has strict rules and we follow them," he said, adding that his political career began and will end with Brookfield. "I'm not a politician. I'm just here to do the best job I can for Brookfield."
Silvaggi said he wants to have a debate with Murphy sometime this fall. Murphy said he would consider the offer.

The Location
Grennan Mill Craft School is housed in an 18th century grain mill, The Island Mill, on the banks of the River Nore in Thomastown, County Kilkenny. The grain lofts of the mill have been converted into spacious and well equipped craft/art studios. The location is part of the charm in providing inspiration and a unique ambience to work in. The school was set up in 1981 and has now established itself as an important centre of study in the crafts area and attracts learners from all over Ireland and further afield.
The Grennan Mill Craft School experience
Over the course of two years learners will develop their skills in all the crafts plus drawing. They will gain an understanding of the design process and how their work might be marketed and sold. The student will keep a notebook for each craft and will produce a collection of craft work, most of which is displayed at the end of their two years study at the annual Graduate Show, which is open to the public for seven days, usually the last week in May.
Thomastown itself is a bustling town renowned for its many artist's, crafts-people and musicians, making for a varied and lively social scene. The multitude of exhibitions and events that take place in Thomastown during Kilkenny Arts Festival is a testament to the love for the arts in this area.
Students visit many craft studios, exhibitions and other places of interest and inspiration throughout their time at the mill. There are also opportunities for workshops in additional techniques such as batik, basket-weaving, paper-making, natural dyeing to enhance skills-set of all students.
With alumni such as Angela O Kelly, Seamus Gill, Remco De Fouw, Angela Mulrooney and many more, Grennan Mill has historically proven to be an important first step on the career path of craft and design.

I'm paywalled on that one, but I assume the NY Post article is basically the same. I like that he says the theory never came up, because saying something directly to Trump would identify him. Talking about it on the internet for months does not identify him, I guess? Deep state liberal satanic pedovores don't read Twitter, but do have the Oval Office under surveillance?

Greg Mortenson's Peacebuilding Efforts
Read the article here.Greg Mortenson has been promoting peace by building schools and purging ignorance in Pakistan and Afghanistan for more than a decade.
"If you fight terrorism, that's based in fear. But if you promote peace, that's based in hope," Mortenson said. "And the real enemy I think is ignorance. It's ignorance that breeds hatred."
It all started accidentally. In 1993 on his way down from a harrowing and unsuccessful climb of the world's second tallest mountain, K2 in northern Pakistan, an exhausted and dehydrated Mortenson stumbled into the village of Korphe. The people of the village helped him get well. While recovering he noticed the children had nowhere to learn.
"When I saw those 84 children sitting in the dirt and they asked for help to build a school I made a promise that day that I would help them," Mortenson explained.
Mortenson returned to the United States and began to try to raise money for the project. He composed letters on a borrowed electric typewriter and sent them to 580 celebrities asking for help. He got one $100 check.
Mortenson said he had found his calling. He started a nonprofit group called the Central Asia Institute and has since built 78 schools for 33,000 Pakistani and Afghan children. That is an amazing accomplishment in a region where the literacy rate is as low as 20 percent. The road has been anything but smooth. He had a fatwa leveled against him by a Muslim leader who didn't trust him. He was kidnapped. And when he began to focus on educating girls, the Taliban did all they could to stop him. But persevered.
