4. America is a violent country.
3. First thing I thought of was "Newfie steak".
"4. America is a violent country."
Misleading title? My understanding is that the US assault rate is average for the OCED, but that the death rate is higher.
We Americans are a can-do sort of people, who are excellent at accomplishing goals.
Yes, many more murders but often fewer other violent or property crimes.
"DC Safe Except For Murders"
Where would you rather live?
Country A: 20% chance of being mugged every year and .005% chance of being murdered
Country B: 10% chance of being mugged every year and .01% chance of being murdered
Add in the fact that the average murder in the US is probably more easily avoided (by, say, not being a gang member) than the average mugging.
Fantasy numbers.
The British have over 2,000 violent crimes per 100,000 population. America, 470. Let's say four times as much.
The British gun homicide rate – excluding suicides but including things like self defense – is 0.04 per hundred thousand. The US rate is 3.7. Let's say 80 times as much.
I still think I would prefer the US figures to the UK figures. Especially as the US figures are largely due to two racial communities. Gang bangers killing other gang bangers is not something that interferes with most people's lives (and which most people don't seem to care much about as the most lightly punished homicides in America are those of urban New Jersey African-American youth, killed by other urban New Jersey African-American youth, in particular if they are represented by the public defender (ie they all plead down to some other offense besides murder)).
Information is lost when you aggregate. The variance in crime rates across cities is different between the two. Choosing between the US and the UK is one thing. Choosing between a major US city and a major UK city is another. Maybe you'd pick the US over the UK in aggregate, but if you had to choose between London, Nottingham, New Castle, and Manchester on one hand or Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, or Memphis on the other, the story may change. (Those are, I believe, the cities with the highest crime rates from each country).
Not all assaults are created equal. A bar brawl in Ireland and a shootout between two armed militias (e.g. MS-13 and the Crips) both contribute to the assault rate. The latter is significantly more likely to produce deaths. I would argue that by most common usages the latter also qualifies as more "violent."
Yes, but as long as no innocent bystanders are caught in the crossfire nobody's going to care if the latter situation results in death.
My guess is that having a bunch of Trinitarios on a block hurts property values more than having a rowdy pub where patrons are known to swing.
Where the patrons are known to swing? Surely that would attract a lot of a certain type of people and so push up prices? What is the house next to the Playboy Mansion worth?
The U.S. has a lower violent crime rate than Europe and less than half the violent crime rate of Canada.
Well, the UK considers an 'affray' without physical violence to be a violent crime, as noted in the article itself (in other words, an affray can be two people shouting at each other). And in the U.S., such an incident would not be recorded as a crime, but is generally considered to fall well within the realm of consitutionally protected speech, or at most, something along the lines of disturbing the peace, which is not a violent crime.
So, the comparison is not quite on the fantasy level, but I bet NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia together could beat the entire mother country's number of 'affrays' on a daily basis, thus having a much higher violent crime rate.
Why OECD?
There is a 4 way stop that I pass every day. Some days/nights there is a woman bumming rides. The first time I saw her I thought she was in real trouble. She tried to force her way into my car. She carried a Bible to show she's a good person. I sped off, she dropped her Bible in my car. That's 6 years ago and she's still there.
The comparable is not the OECD, it's certain carefully chosen members of the OECD; excluded are Poland, Slovakia, Turnkey, Mexico, Hungary, Estonia. No explanation for why the U.S. was unable to exclude Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina.
It's not gun laws, it's our unique culture. Hence the effectiveness of gun laws in the totally alien culture of the UK.
But Britain used to have very light gun laws and people still didn't murder people with guns very much: Hungerford was an exception. Then a mad gunman slaughtered children at Dunblane and the government banned pistols (though of course criminals still use them), when an obvious policy to try instead was to censor all reporting of gun slaughters from the US. Other policy options might have been (i) to shrug, or (ii) to look again at the laws about locking up loonies, or – and here I propose something radical – (iii) applying the existing gun laws competently.
Blacks commit half the US murders. Only accounting for that cuts our murder rate in half to about double that of UK. We've accounted for one thing so far.
"The real aim is not freedom of choice for workers but the freedom of employers to operate in whatever way they please without interference from their employees."
Why not both?
"All the state law does is make it possible for workers to opt out of paying their fair share of the cost of negotiating and implementing contracts."
Factually incorrect. Most states actually require non-members to pay the costs associated with exactly those activities. What they opt out of are lobbying, political spending, and other such union activities.
I, for one, am happy that we are seeing wage equalization for unskilled labor worldwide. If there are no jobs left for those evil foreigners to "steal", maybe the lower classes will acquiesce to open immigration.
Well, the Michigan law removed the requirement for non-members to pay dues for negotiating activities, although the law requires the union to negotiate on behalf of members and non-members alike.
I suppose one could argue that, for example, the UAW in negotiating very much lower wages for newer workers but no or little concessions for those with seniority, that the newer workers may have rational reasons to not pay dues. Their interests are not being represented, now they have the option of not paying for the negotiations ostensibly done on their behalf.
This legislation puts the union in the uncomfortable position of justifying it's existence. They haven't done very well even with more friendly legislation.
I personally think that unions are a necessary counterweight giving some power to employees. But the way the unions in North America act seems to be profoundly counterproductive. I belonged to a union at one time and found their thinking and tactics just plain stupid, and ultimately the jobs that we did disappeared as a result. My dues were wasted.
given that it's already law that unions can negotiate contracts for "members only" and now workers are not forced into joining/paying union dues. Can a group of workers start/join their own competing union? What would that mean to an employer who would not have to negotiate with two competing unions? how about workers being able to choose which union benefits them the most?
There have been competing unions in the past. I don't know the details. It is not already law that unions can negotiate contracts for "members only" however- except in the case of multiple unions.
@#4: Australia is an OECD country more violent than the USA but is not shown. See for yourself: http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/Australia/United-States/Crime – now ask yourself, why are the Kiwis so much more peaceful?
Melanesians across the world have significantly higher violence rates than Polynesians. Australia's indigenous population is the former, New Zealand's indigenous population is the latter. But this trend holds in many other countries. Port Moresby, PNG is probably the most crime-ridden city on Earth. Honolulu has the lowest murder rate of any major city in the US. Fiji and the Solomon Islands are super-dangerous. French Polynesia and Tonga are generally pretty safe.
From what I've heard about Hawaii, the real troublemakers are the Micronesians.
With the exception of a tiny population on Islands north of the Australian mainland, Indigenous Australians aren't Melanesian.
Besides that, the Indigenous proportion of the population of Australia is far lower than NZ, limiting the contribution of Indigenous Australian's to the overall crime rate.
"America is a violent country"
That's one framing. Another is: "Violence in America is declining rapidly". Rates have been cut in half since their peak and, if current trends continue, rates will match those of other OECD countries with 10-15 years. The takeaway of that chart appears to be that in order to reduce violence the U.S. should….keep doing whatever it's currently doing (which has obviously been working very well).
Doesn't the number of singapore millionaires partly just reflect the wealth from mandated retirement saving in private accounts? for instance, if we included the net present value of all Social Security and other government transfers, how many more people would be millionaires in the US?
You mean count everything in the "lockbox"?
From the original report (linked from Sumner's), the answer would seem to be "no". They are counting by "private financial wealth", defined as follows: "Private financial wealth includes cash and deposits, money market funds, listed securities held directly or indirectly through managed investments, and other onshore and offshore assets." (p. 9).
This massive pool of saving would need useful outlets. There's only so many more car factories or office buildings or shopping centers that could plausible be built. At some point the money would flood over (perhaps through public–private partnerships) into infrastructure, medical research, new energy alternatives, education, environmental cleanup and lots of other forms of "investment" that liberals favor.
i.e. a series of catastrophic asset bubbles.
It can work in Singapore as they are a very tiny country. It can't work in US as global capital markets wouldn't be able to absorb capital on such a vast scale.
Conservatives should be very afraid of moving toward a Singapore type system as the resulting catastrophic assets bubbles will result, like they did with FDR and Obama, in a hard left turn by the electorate.
Why would an increase in savings automatically lead to a series of catastrophic bubbles? You seem to be saying that markets would suddenly stop working given enough capitol.
Why would an increase in savings automatically lead to a series of catastrophic bubbles?
It sure seems like a global quest for yield was a significant contributor to the recent financial crisis.
It has become clear from several recent items that Tyler has started listening to the CBC, the question is why now?
Particularly when hockey is not available, removing the vast majority of the motivation…
Oh come on there are lots of reasons to listen to the CBC other than hockey. They have exciting coverage of the lockout and are many fascinating stories about potash, and without the CBC I would have completely forgotten about The Tragically Hip, Triumph, and Max Webster.
Union agreements with private firms are one thing, those made with government entities are quite another. Every unelected, unappointed position in the public sector should be up for bid annually, with the job going to the low bidder, just as it is for any other commodity: paper clips, pencils, printer cartridges, patrol cars, buildings, highway construction, etc.
4. America is a violent country.
The number one cause of injury death is suicide, in both civilian and military realms. The high level problem is social evolution in the wrong direction.
As Steven Pinker recently said on a bloggingheads episode in answering whether the U.S. was a violent country, you have to consider that there are two giant gaps in the U.S.: a north/south gap and a black/white gap.
Isn't the former mostly a consequence of the latter, though? Detroit's proximity to the Candian border doesn't seem to be having much effect on the murder rate there.
I'm guessing that's part of it, but I would also assume that southerners are more violent, even when controlling for race.
Re 4 I think a lot is just demographic. The large majority of violent crime is by young males (let's say age 15-30) and the US as a young country has more of these per capita.
Perhaps some public-spirited reader can convert the figures to violent crimes per 15-30 year old male?
#4. Sadly, this is a good way to summarize the situation: "It's America, you know. That sort of thing happens there."
Odd story. After citing several incedents in Europe, he calls it an American thing.
I guess we did make the top 5 :
Experience has taught me that violence and poverty is highest where the welfare state and the democrat machine are strongest in certain ethnic neighborhoods. Like the south side of Chicago. The welfare state leads in the production of poor, ignorant people. Their lives are planned out by the government. Born into a single parent family, a meal ticket to parent, largely left to their own devices as children, poorly educated, ready to step into gangs, prison and/or death on the streets.
The politicians say more taxes will solve everything.
If unions are so great, why do they have to force people to join them? Why do they force people to contribute to them? Why do they funnel money to certain political parties? Unions have the power to tax. I think they have plenty of power.

Many people use the internet for various means; trolling, interesting and unusual social media posts, and then the inevitable stream of food pictures and selfies. But without the help of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, 61, the internet would be as dead as Donald Trump 's hopes of remaining US President for a full term.
Berners-Lee is this years recipient of the AM Turing Award, which, comes with a $1m reward sponsored by Google.
Starting in 1989, Berners-Lee pretty much solidified the future of the internet after he successfully managed to find a way to place documents; images, and videos on an internet format. After his monumental project attempts, he, would later go on to become one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century.
"It's a crowning achievement," Berners-Lee said in an interview with the AP. "But I think the award is for the Web as a project, and the massive international collaborative spirit of all that have joined me to help."

LORD ROBERTS.; A Great Soldier's Story of His Own Career in India and Afghanistan.*
The bravest men are always the most modest, and Field Marshal Lord Roberts of Kandahar, that fine type of English pluck and gallantry, in telling the story of his services in the English Army, which he calls "a plain, unvarnished tale of Indian life and adventure," begs the reader to remember that "the writer is a soldier, not a man of letters, and therefore forgive all faults of style and language."

11 years ago the world changed forever. On the 11th of September, 2001, four coordinated suicide attacks took place, carried out on US soil by terror group Al-Qaeda.
No doubt, year by year, we should remember those 3,000 that died, and their families. We should also look to remember the man who masterminded those attacks - the deceased leader of the group responsible for the attacks.
Clearly not for the same reason. Remembering Osama bin Laden allows us to come ever closer to understanding evil (possibly an impossible mission), in the same way that to remember and learn of Hitler keeps us diligent to the depravity of life at its most baneful.
With words we cannot fully express, but try we must.
Bin Laden was laying down his plans for war at a time when many "Arab Jihadists" - such as al-Qaeda, Gamaat al-Jihad, Gamaat Islamiyya, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group (GICM) - were restructuring their position in Afghanistan, after the defeats they endured in the nineties throughout the Middle East.
After preparing attacks on America in 2000, al-Qaeda knew America would have capabilities to destroy the Taliban's governmental institutions - which were acting as host to Bin Laden's motley crew. In advance, Mohammed Atef, the third highest ranking member of al-Qaeda, had sought after weapons of mass destruction to protect Afghanistan.
It was bin Laden's pipe dream that acquiring WMDs would have deterred the US from retaliating, securing the start to a victory for the Saudi and his group. However the acquisition didn't go to plan. Accepting defeat at this first hurdle, al-Qaeda tried to send a message, through a reporter in Afghanistan trying to make his "media break", to the US saying they were in possession of WMDs.
This, too, proved unsuccessful, the likelihood being that US intelligence simply didn't believe bin Laden. Instead the American representatives in Afghanistan asked the Taliban to hand over bin Laden for trial, a favour they did not succumb to citing the illegality of handing over a Muslim to non-Muslims under Islamic law.
After experiencing setback after setback - the death of a leader in the Gamaat Islamiyya, Mohammed Khalil al-Hakaima, who fronted the "al-Qaeda in the land of Egypt" project; the collapse of the jihad against the Americans in Iraq - the former leader of the militant Jihadists Libyan Islamic Fighting Group Noman Benotman said that al-Qaeda did not want to establish a caliphate in Afghanistan, and were merely acting as a defense against the occupation - a clear back step on their more global plans.
Though "bin Ladenism" (a term used by the late Christopher Hitchens) was destined to fail, this doesn't mean it is not dangerous, particularly in its teachings of young, mainly uneducated men. Its overall goal is to engage in a global war, which it hopes to do with coordination from a central command, possibly in Warziristan (NW Pakistan), branches at a regional level and with help from sympathisers around the world. It is imperialist in character.
Realistically we know that, with bin Laden's death, his form of political radicalism did not die. Its adherents do live on. This is sad. And, hard as it is, we must be brave and accept this is the case, even on sad days in remembrance. However - and I don't say this as consolation - Osama bin Laden died a failure, reduced to watching re-runs of himself delivering propaganda speeches exploiting young, angry men into thinking that fighting the jihad was the solution to all life's ills. He was wrong. Part of our mourning should be to remember that.

SAN DIEGO — Some of the latest in international cinematic comedy, tragedy, documentary and animation will be presented during a weeklong film festival that opens Friday at the Fine Arts Theatre in Pacific Beach. The movies, most of them no more than two years old, offer a glimpse of the recent handiwork produced by countries such as Turkey, Czechoslovakia, Spain, the Soviet Union, France, New Zealand and the United States. The Film Festival at San Diego is sponsored by the Landmark Theatre Corp. and the Museum of Photographic Arts.
Landmark (owner of the Guild, Ken, Fine Arts and Cove theaters) is trying to continue the tradition of the San Diego International Film Festival, dormant since 1983, by bringing to San Diego a selection of international films, few of which normally would be seen here in commercial distribution.
More than choosing movies that had not played in San Diego, the real key to the festival was picking films people would like.
"We wanted to provide something the community could call their own event and that they could really enjoy," said David Swanson, formerly manager of the Fine Arts and now manager of Landmark theaters in Denver.

AP-700 Wireless Access Point
- 802.11n
- Wireless Encryption : WEP, WPA, WPA2
- 802/11b/g Backward Compatible
- Repeater/Bridge/Access Point/Station Modes
- Up to four distinct SSIDs (for VLANs)
- MAC Address Filtering
- Radius User/WPA Authentication
- 802.1x User Authentication
- WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
- WMM (Wireless MultiMedia)
- WPS - WiFi Protected Setup
- Built-in Site Surveyor
Vigor AP-700 Wireless Access Point
The DrayTek Vigor AP-700 is a standalone wireless access point, ideal for adding wireless connectivity to an existing LAN, or for expanding the range of an existing wireless LAN by using the WDS features.
As an access point, the Vigor AP-700 connects to your existing ethernet switch and wireless users (with laptops or other WiFi devices) can then connect to your LAN. You can restrict access to specific devices by locking in their hardware 'MAC address' and if you have a radius server, user access can be further limited requiring unique login using 802.1x authentication (MD5/PEAP mode).
Where you wish to provide wireless access over a larger area, or throughout a larger building, you could install several AP-700's, each wired back to your central network.
In addition, the AP-700 can operate in several other wireless modes:
- Access Point - Standard Operation, as described above
- Universal Repeater - The AP-700 acts as both a wireless client and access point simultaneously, effectively increasing the range of an existing access point.
- Bridge - Using two AP-700's, each connected to a separate wired LAN, a wireless bridge can be formed connecting the two LANs. Ideal where a physical link (cable) isn't possible, for example, across a road.
- Station - The AP-700 acts as a wireless client to another wireless access point. Ideal for games consoles or PCs which need a self-contained 'intelligent' wireless interface with connectivity provided via their Ethernet point.
For illustrations of each of these modes, click on the 'Schematics' tab of this page.
If you require a PoE enabled product, consider the AP-810 instead.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Headed out for the holiday weekend? You'll have plenty of company. AAA Travel predicts more people are expected to hit the road for the Memorial Day Weekend than before the recession.
It also says it will likely be the second busiest summer holiday travel weekend since 2000.
"While the start of summer typically brings with it thoughts of warm weather, sandy beaches and even tropical destinations, but it is in fact the frigid cold winter that blanketed much of the country this year that is driving the hot demand for summer time travel," said AAA Operating Officer Marshall Doney.
AAA said several economic factors are also driving increased demand.
"As the economy continues to improve at a slow and steady pace, consumer spending, disposable income, consumer confidence, and the employment outlook are trending up which is good news for the travel industry," said Greg Seiter, Public Affairs Manager for AAA Hoosier Motor Club.
36.1 million Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home between Thursday and Monday – a 1.5 percent increase from last year.
Doney said most people will drive to their vacation spots, but the number of Americans flying or taking a cruise or train this summer will also be greater than last year.
Doney said gas prices will be lower this year, an average of $3.63, thanks to rising supplies.
According to GasBuddy.com, it's more expensive around here. The average price in Indiana Friday morning was $3.85 per gallon.
You may run into fewer active construction zones as you hit the road this weekend. INDOT said it's suspending work and removing road restrictions in some places from noon Friday until Tuesday morning, although drivers still may run into some restrictions at larger projects.
Click here for more information from INDOT.
Travelers who park at Indianapolis International Airport will be able to track where the shuttle buses are, thanks to a new monitoring system installed in time for the holiday weekend. The system allows passengers to track Economy Lot shuttle buses in real time and also provides the arrival time of the next two buses.
Monitors are now installed in each of the 13 shelters and at the curb of the Ground Transportation Center.

I got this very unique tag from Dhemz (My Life's Perception & Inspiration) I enjoyed it so much when I tried to follow the instruction and it's all true. Lol so, here it goes….
Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger? There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese..... Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings.
Middle finger represents your-Self.
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner. & the.. .
Last (Little) finger represents your children.
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back.
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip. (As shown in the figure below):
Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT..... because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!! Please try this out and pass............. ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?
Now, I want to pass this tag to all of my friends here in blogworld…married or plan to get married…this is for you guys namely: Ady, Alice, Amiable Amy, Augustianians, Beng, Beth, Enhenyero, Cecile, Cutella, Kittykat, Cybercesz, Dhurianne, Enchie, Ghie, Hopeful, Meryl, Pinay na gamay, Ritchiela, Shieangel, Shy, Yen and YOU. Feel free to grab it. Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Therapy and Counseling
"No laws or executive orders shall be imposed to limit or restrict access to Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE) for self-motivated youth and adults."
This plank is critical to protecting religious freedom and our first amendment rights. These rights are currently under assault by a small group of activists using misinformation and lies to convince Democrats and some Republicans to ban "conversion therapy for minors."
The first assault on freedom in this case was this law which passed in California: Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN): "California Bans Gay Teen Conversion Therapy"
This same misguided and unconstitutional law was then passed in NJ and IL - where it was pushed by Democrats with the help of several misinformed Republican lawmakers including "Republican" governors Chris Christie and Bruce Rauner (who still claim to be "pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-family")
The same bill was introduced last session in the Texas legislature and added to the Democratic Party of Texas platform as one of their legislative priorities. These laws are clearly unconstitutional since it attacks freedom of speech and belief.
There is not a separate modality of therapy for "conversion." The difference between this and secular "pro-gay" therapy is the beliefs and values of the individual and their therapist. This is an attack on the right of individuals to hold views that are different from the modern "gay" construct. As several gay activists have openly said, they want to make it a crime for anyone to say that homosexuality is "anything other than a normal healthy variant of human sexuality."
As I explained in my previous post, this is philosophical difference. I am not arguing with their right to believe in Social Constructionism, but my own faith and my own life experiences have proven to me that there is a God and he has a plan for my life - which is much different from theirs.
I know hundreds of individuals at all ages who feel the same way and we have a right to our beliefs and to operate ministries and therapy practices to support those who are self-motivated to purse this path.
If you or anyone else has any question about this plank and/or would like more information, please contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you,
Jeremy Schwab

So Jeremy Corbyn just held a press conference with British 80s reggae band UB40 and it was really, really weird.
After praising the band for supporting the miners' strike and for creating music that "has developed so much" over the years, he told the crowd that he wasn't going to be singing at the event.
Which, understandably, left a lot of people feeling a bit miffed.
"I'm not going to sing," says Jeremy Corbyn to audible disappointment from the press pic.twitter.com/rXPfoUPKmC
-- Michael Deacon (@MichaelPDeacon) September 6, 2016
So to soften the blow, here's nine pictures of him *definitely* singing along to the classic Red, Red Wine.
(This might help with the imagination:)
*Clears throat*
Red, red wine goes to my head
Makes me forget that I still need her so
Red, red wine, it's up to you
All I can do I've done. Memories won't go, memories won't go
Life is fine every time, thoughts of you leave my head
I was wrong, now I find ... Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine, stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart my blue heart.
You're welcome.

Another Halloween, Another 'Saw' Sequel, Another Big Pile Of Money For Lions Gate
Ease your disappointment from walking into a Halloween party this weekend to discover that no fewer than five other people had been stricken by the same "California wildfire" brainstorm that led you to char your favorite souvenir Malibu t-shirt by reviewing the weekend's box office numbers:
1. Saw IV - $32.11 million
For a third consecutive Halloween weekend, Lions Gate's strategy of supplying teenage ticket-buyers with a fresh installment of the Saw franchise at the precise moment when their hunger to be delivered an unimaginative, gore-drenched horror sequel is at its natural peak has paid off, bringing the studio yet another easy, late-October box office win.
While LG's inevitable success with this fourth chapter already has them promising that Saw V will hit theaters a year from now, we fear they're thinking way too small. They should be testing their devoted audience's seemingly insatiable appetite for their product by announcing that they'll simultaneously release three new sequels next Halloween, unveiling an early mock-up of the one-sheet depicting villain Jigsaw trying to force-feed a trio of his blood-splattered, edged torture implements into the gaping maw of a victim chained to a theater seat.
2. Dan in Real Life - $12.081 million
Not even Hollywood's Second Most Likable Star (first place, of course, belongs to disarmingly cherubic killer spy Matt Damon) stood a chance against Saw, although Disney did do decent business giving parents a place to kill a couple of hours while their kids were busy being further desensitized to graphic violence on the other side of the multiplex.
3. 30 Days of Night - $6.7 million
Credit Sony for being smart enough to get their vampire movie into theaters a week before Lions Gate's buzzsaw tore through theaters, allowing Josh Hartnett his fleeting moment at the top of the box office.
4. The Game Plan - $6.257 million
5. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? - $5.74 million
After seeing the ads for Will Smith's I Am Legend that seemed to appear during every commercial break this weekend, the management team for Hollywood's stealth superstar is actively developing Tyler Perry's Why Am I The Last Man on Earth?, a lighthearted, family-friendly look at how humanity's sole survivor comes to grips with discovering that his millions of his once incredibly loyal, church-going fans have been turned into homicidal zombies by a mysterious virus.

NEW YORK, N.Y., July 29. FORMER British Olympian Margie Pedder placed first in the second-annual New York Water Taxi Around Governors Island Swim finishing the two-mile course in 37:45. In her first Manhattan Island Foundation event, she bested an international field in taking the title. Pedder, who also competed for the University of Southern California, represented Great Britain at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, swimming the 200 butterfly.
"I came here to have fun," Pedder said. "The water was warmer than I thought it would be, it felt like a swimming pool."
Second overall and in the women's division went to Rondi Davies of Sydney, Australia, in 38.52, while third in the women's division went to Anna Armentrout of Brooklyn, N.Y., in 43.03.
In the men's division, Matt Malina from New York City placed first with a time of 41.07, good for third overall. Second place went to David Barra of High Falls, N.Y., in 42.05, while Gilles Chalandon of New York City placed third in 42.37.
More than 150 swimmers represented the boroughs of New York City, the states of Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, D.C., as well as Australia, Ireland, Mexico, and United Kingdom. Swimmers ranged in age from 21 – 75.
Swimmers circumnavigated historic Governors Island in the two-mile course featuring views of lower Manhattan, Jersey City, Staten Island and Brooklyn. Swimmers entered the water from a New York Water Taxi just off Castle Williams, navigated around the southern tip of the island and proceeded north up the Buttermilk Channel, between Governors Island and Brooklyn. After passing the third pier in the Channel, swimmers rounded the northeast side of the Island, passed Dock 102 and headed toward the pontoon boat finish, located just before the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel air vent.

Curious about getting documentation or tips if possible.
I have build JDK14 yesterday from pkgsrc/wip and it took more than 6 hours on a box where the same JDK is built in about 3 hours for
NetBSD or OpenBSD...
Similar thing do happen with the other c++ beasts like KDE, it takes roughly more x2 time to build.Insane. I know zero about c++, but if
someone can point to some docs about that issue I will appreciate

Cincinnati beats UConn 35-27 as Huskies fall short of bowl eligibility
Updated 6:26 am, Sunday, December 4, 2011
CINCINNATI -- No bowl for Connecticut. A year after they shared the Big East title, the Huskies are now relegated to watching from home.
Munchie Legaux threw a career-high three touchdown passes on Saturday, and Cincinnati's defense got two scores of its own, setting up a 35-27 victory over Connecticut that left the Bearcats one of three teams sharing the Big East title.
UConn (5-7, 3-4) needed a win to finish bowl eligible for a fifth straight season. The Huskies fell behind 14-0 and never got in position to catch up.
"You're on the road against a quality team that's playing for a meaningful season, and we're playing for a meaningful season," first-year coach Paul Pasqualoni said. "We played well, just not well enough."
Pasqualoni replaced Randy Edsall, who led UConn to a berth in the Fiesta Bowl and left for Maryland. The transition season was a struggle -- the Huskies never won back-to-back games.
"The kids have been great about the transition," Pasqualoni said. "They practiced hard and cooperated with everything we wanted to do. This group of seniors played in a bowl game and won their conference. I wish I could have helped them more. This group of seniors will always be special to me."
The Bearcats (9-3, 5-2) were coming off a four-win season and had defied expectations by taking control of the race before senior quarterback Zach Collaros broke his right ankle. They won their last two games to finish in a three-way tie atop the league.
Although the Bearcats got their third title in four years, they likely will miss out on the league's BCS bid. No. 22 West Virginia (9-3, 5-2) will get it if, as expected, the Mountaineers are the highest-ranked Big East team in the final BCS standings.
Louisville (7-5, 5-2) also shared the title and would have gotten the bid if the Bearcats had lost on Saturday. The Huskies didn't have another upset in them.
UConn quarterback Johnny McEntee helped the Bearcats get off to a fast start. Lineman Walter Stewart plucked the ball from his passing hand in the end zone for Cincinnati's first touchdown, and Drew Frey returned an interception 15 yards for a 14-0 lead.
"I think we dug ourselves too big a hole," said McEntee, who was 20 of 40 for 252 yards with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns and six sacks. "After the half, we felt like we had a fresh start and almost came back, but we didn't."
Cincinnati led the league race before Collaros broke his right ankle during a loss to West Virginia. Legaux, a sophomore, gave his best performance in his third collegiate start, going 15 of 35 for 217 yards.
Legaux had a 22-yard touchdown pass to Alex Chisum and a 13-yarder to Anthony McClung that made it 28-3. The second TD pass came at the end of a 72-yard drive in which the Bearcats converted three long third downs and a second-and-26.
McClung also had a 31-yard TD catch in the third quarter. The sophomore had career highs with 8 catches for 142 yards.
The Bearcats pulled ahead 35-12, and then withstood McEntee's two fourth-quarter touchdown passes. Cincinnati got the ball back with 5:40 left and essentially ran out the clock, draining off the final seconds with a punt. Then, fireworks went off overhead and the celebration began.
Cincinnati went to the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl in 2008-09 as outright champs under Brian Kelly, then had that four-win season last year in transition. The Bearcats knew they wouldn't get the BCS bid, but still wanted another title.
UConn, meanwhile, has to watch from the couch a year after their championship season.
UConn shared the Big East title last season with West Virginia and Pittsburgh. The Huskies got the BCS bid on the tiebreakers and lost to Oklahoma 48-20 in the Fiesta Bowl.
The Huskies were coming off a 40-22 win that knocked Rutgers out of contention for a share of the league title. They never fully recovered from the two early turnovers for touchdowns. All the Huskies managed were field goals of 35, 46, 53 and 43 yards by Dave Teggart while they fell behind 35-12.

Bafetimbi Gomis' agent may have denied any interest from Fiorentina earlier today, but it looks as if the striker is leaving Lyon.
The French forward has been linked with a move away from Stade Gerland during this transfer window, with the Viola said to be keen on brining the 27-year-old to Tuscany.
The player's representative rubbished those reports on Monday morning [12], but a statement from his club this afternoon has confirmed that the goalscorer was not at the team's pre-season camp in Tignes.
"Due to the position of the player," a statement read. "The club have asked him to stay in Lyon to continue preparations and be available for negotiations."
Gomis has also been linked with a transfer to Tottenham, Shakhtar Donetskh and Monaco.

The reborn Maybach brand hasn't set sales charts on fire, although that may be because the least expensive version, the 57, has a MSRP of $335,500.
Perhaps an attempt to draw attention to this quiet automaker, its Daimler parent has built a special design study, the Maybach Landaulet. Based on the $426,000, 612hp twin-turbo V-12 62S sedan, this Maybach study follows the traditional landaulet design, with an enclosed chauffeur compartment and folding rear roof, while also retaining the sedan's adjustable two rear seats and full-framed rear doors for structural integrity.
The weatherproof folding roof is electro-hydraulically operated, opening and closing in 16 seconds, and when open, it rests on the rear parcel shelf and can be covered by a leather boot. Although officially only a design study, we're sure that the Maybach factory wouldn't mind building a few Laudaulets for their most loyal, wealthiest clients.

Avila's big innings doom Wayland baseball
Published 9:58 am, Monday, February 25, 2013
The Wayland Baptist baseball team played well enough to earn a pair of victories Saturday afternoon at Wilder Field, but two big innings from Avila University (Mo.) put the Eagles on top, 8-1 and 11-9 (8).
Pioneer Ryan Downs put in a solid performance on the mound in game one, going 5.1 innings while striking out seven Eagles. Unfortunately, Wayland (3-9) could not provide its pitcher with the run support that the other four Pioneers received throughout the weekend.
Avila (7-1), threatened early on but thanks to some stellar defensive plays, the Pioneers kept the Eagles from crossing the plate. In the top of the first, Kyle Ford smashed a double off the center field wall, but Johnny Hendrixson played the ricochet perfectly and hit the relay man to keep the runner on first from scoring.
In the top of the fifth with one out, Downs faced the Avila two-hole with runners at first and third. Brian Sagun hit a hard comebacker, but the sure-handed pitcher snagged the ball, checked the runner back to third base and promptly threw over to first for the second out of the inning. After an intentional walk to Cameron Luitwieler, who was 6-12 with eight RBIs on the weekend, Downs threw a groundball to shortstop to end the threat.
The relief was short-lived, however, as the Eagles posted another big inning, as they managed in each game throughout the series. This time Avila scored seven runs off seven hits in the top of the sixth to take the 7-0 edge. That lead proved to be too much for the Pioneers to overcome as Josh Chinni provided the team with their only run after he belted a home run to left-center in the bottom of the sixth. Wayland fell 8-1 after an uneventful seventh inning.
The Pioneers got the bats going again in the second game, scoring in five straight innings. Wayland hitters found plenty of ways to bring runners home, from small-ball to the long-ball. Lorenzo Soriano, Chris Buitron and Hendrixson each hit their first home run of the season in game two. All of the four-baggers went over the wind-favoring leftfield fence.
Tyler Doolittle, normally on the catching end of the battery, started on the mound for Wayland. After a shaky start in the first inning, he went back to what he does best. The junior transfer has struck out 13 batters in eight innings of work. Doolittle eventually struck out the side and minimized the damage to two runs, then settled in a grove until the fifth inning. The right-hander began wearing down after catching seven innings in game one and pitching 4 2/3 in the nightcap.
After a pair of pitching changes, the Pioneers saw their 5-3 lead vanish as the Eagles put up a six-spot, in the fifth, giving them a 9-5 lead. Wayland would not easily surrender though, as Buitron hit a two-run homer in the fifth, cutting the lead to 9-7. Hendrixson hit a solo shot to bring the Pioneers within one as the club rode on shoulders of relief men Joey DiCarlo and Corey Weldon to keep the Eagles at bay.
The bullpen did their part and gave the hitters a chance, capitalizing in the bottom of the seventh. Jovany Padilla led things off with a single to center, then moved into scoring position from a sacrifice bunt from Buitron. After a wild pitch, Soriano, who had already homered in the game, was given a free pass to first base.
Colton Palmer then hit a shot through the left side of the infield, driving in Padilla from third to knot the game up at nine apiece and send it to extra innings.
Avila wasted no time in getting back on the board, scoring two runs in the top of the eighth inning. The Pioneers then went down quietly, with the exception of a one-out double by Chinni, in the home half of the inning.
Wayland's play was much improved from a week ago, although the end result was the same. The Pioneers scored nine runs in two of the four games and six in another. The hitters accumulated a total of 12 extra-base hits, while Downs and Doolittle struck out seven and six batters, respectively.
The Pioneers will return to the diamond next weekend in a four-game series against Mid-America Nazarene. The first doubleheader is slated to start at 2 p.m. on Friday, with the second coming at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

You'll get literally TEN MILLION threads about the Beatles, their recording process, overdubbing process, questions and answers from guys like Ken Scott and so on.
You'll find very few about Elvis.
Elvis was an AMAZING entertainer. He was and still is the coolest singer/frontman of all time, IMO. He's been copies but never duplicated. The man was a True Original.
The Beatles, on the other hand, not only changed popular music forever, they changed the way popular music was recorded and delivered. From syncing up multiple four-track machines to Abbey Road to George Martin to their competitive nature (Sgt. Peppers was a direct response to Pet Sounds) to visiting the Maharishi to using acid to expand their minds, to the British Invasion to the introduction of Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and countless other "American" artists, The Beatles influence is unparalled.
I could spend hours commenting on innovations in sound recording and songwriting as it pertains to The Beatles but I won't. This is not the proper forum.

Eastbourne's NHS workers will get the opportunity to vote for strike action this week.
Ballot papers started dropping through doors last week, August 28.]Nurses, paramedics, therapists, cooks, cleaners and healthcare assistants among those voting in the dispute
Trade Union UNISON members have been putting pressure on the government after they decided to ignore the independent NHS Pay Review Body recommendation to award a 1% pay rise to all NHS staff.
Instead 60% of NHS staff, including 70% of nurses, have been denied a pay award this year.
"We all know the NHS relies on the good will of its staff," said Tony Jones, Unison's South East Regional Head of Health.
NHS workers have been badly hit by the rise in the cost of living and the Government's move is unfair and deliberately provocative.
"The Government has gone too far; Unison is balloting NHS workers and giving them the opportunity to make their voices heard and turn their anger into action.
"Voting for strike action is never an easy decision – even more so for NHS workers who spend their lives caring for people. But the Government's refusal to give the vast majority any pay increase this year is a slap in the face.
"Staff are on average 10% worse off than when the coalition came to power and this means their families are suffering and morale is hitting rock bottom. A well motivated workforce saves lives so we need to cherish and support our NHS staff who work day in day out caring for others."
Over 24,500 NHS workers in the south East have a chance to vote.
350,000 ballot papers in total have been sent to NHS workers across the country.
Unison's ballot opens on Thursday and will close on September 18.

Vyllier History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
England following the Norman Conquest in 1066 they brought their family name with them. They lived in Leicestershire. Their name, however, is a reference to Villiers, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Early Origins of the Vyllier family
Leicestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the manor of Rokesby from the time of the Norman Conquest of England by Duke William in 1066 A.D. Galderfridus de Villers of St. Evroult, accompanied Duke William into England with his son, Pagan de Villiers, who obtained the barony of Warrington in Lancashire and was also Lord of Crosby in that same shire. Interestingly, "the present coat of arms is said to have been assumed in the reign of Edward I., as a badge of Sir Richard de Villars' services in the crusades." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Shirley, Evelyn Philip, The Noble and Gentle Men of England; The Arms and Descents. Westminster: John Bower Nichols and Sons, 1866, Print. The previous shield was "Sable, three cinquefoils argent."
Early History of the Vyllier family

Vyllier Spelling Variations
spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified.

Migration of the Vyllier family to the New World and Oceana
To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Vylliers were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America: A. Villiers who settled in New Orleans La. in 1822; another A. Villiers settled in New York state in 1823; M. C. Villiers settled in New Orleans La. in 1823.
The Vyllier Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fidei coticula crux
Motto Translation: The cross is the test of truth.

CHICAGO -- Big Ten men's basketball coaches lack the same zeal as their football counterparts to split the league into divisions.
After a full day of meetings at the Sofitel Hotel, basketball coaches have yet to discuss a potential divisional alignment, Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.
"I don�t think divisional play is where we�re headed," McCaffery said. "I guess we could talk about it (Tuesday). It really wasn�t on the agenda."
The coaches did talk about future scheduling. In 2014-15, Rutgers and Maryland join the Big Ten to give the league 14 members. It's likely the league schedule stays at 18 games, so based on the current model, Iowa would play five teams twice and eight teams once.
"That model hasn�t been decided yet," McCaffery aid. "Who do you place twice, who do you play once and how does it rotate on a year-by-year basis? We did talk about that, but there was nothing decided.
"We�re definitely trying to protect rivalries and make sure that you�re going to continue to play those teams."
There's also discussion about preserving significant rivalries so the games are played twice annually. Currently there are no protected rivalries in Big Ten basketball.
"If you�re Purdue-Indiana, for example. That�s different," McCaffery said. "Michigan-Michigan State. For us, we have Iowa-Iowa State, but we�re in different leagues. We don�t have another team in the state that�s in our league. You can go through it and pick those. Those are the two that come to my mind right off the bat."The coaches will meet on Tuesday morning before adjourning from their spring meetings.

The problems with women voters that supporters of Rick Santorum have long worried over indeed hurt him in Michigan, forcing him to consider whether changing his cultural war message, the WashPost writes:
Mitt Romney outperformed Santorum by large margins among women and men in Arizona, according to exit polls. But in Michigan, Santorum lost women to Romney by five percentage points, an edge that provided the former Massachusetts governor with his narrow margin there.
Although Santorum sought to spin the Michigan results as a tie, it is clear that the contest revealed a significant challenge for him. He has been outspoken about contraception, abortion and his wife's decision to leave her career as a lawyer to home-school their seven children.
The campaign is pushing back about the cultural stuff being a media-driven caricature, and Tuesday night he was trying to concentrate more on his pro-manufacturing message. Columnist Roger Simon at Politico ain't buying it:
And I'll bet you he wishes today that jobs actually had been his message. But it wasn't.
Instead, his message was about Satan and how churches ought to be able to shape government policy and how people who wanted to send their kids to college were snobs.
And more. If you were out of work in Michigan and your unemployment benefits were about to run out, did you really want to hear Rick Santorum tell you how John F. Kennedy makes him want to "throw up"?
Because that would solve your problems, right? That would pay your mortgage and your car payments, right?
And his campaign's shoestring budget and limited organization is really hurting him, especially with 11 states in play next week. Santorum himself seems tired and his inability to get on the ballot in his (new home state of) Virginia will "cost him, big time," writes Larry Sabato at the UVa Center for Politics:
Because only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are on the Virginia ballot, Romney — who we expect to sweep the Old Dominion — starts off with a big lead on Super Tuesday courtesy of Virginia. That built-in advantage will make it exceedingly difficult for Santorum to finish the day with more delegates than Romney. In fact, we expect Romney to win more delegates on Super Tuesday than Rick Santorum, probably many more.
The further problem? Santorum needs his social issues message to win. Sabato (see chart above) only projects Santorum to win Oklahoma and Tennessee next week due to evangelical support, and to lose crucial Ohio. He'll still pick up a good number of delegates though.
He's now fallen far back to second in Rasmussen's national GOP poll too.
Mitt Romney's been beating up Santorum as "an economic lightweight" and if/when Santorum tries to hit back with more criticisms of bailouts you can expect Romney to keep bringing up the steel bailout he mentioned at the Feb. 22 debate in Arizona. Santorum denied voting for a bailout, but FactCheck notes that is what the $400 million loan to steelmakers amounted to. Their study is worth reading in full here.

Skip to comments.In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)
Posted on 03/01/2012 6:00:33 AM PST by ImJustAnotherOkie
Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.
We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.
Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.
Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, andfamouslyI enjoy making enemies.
Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. Ive lost friends, perhaps dozens. But Ive gained hundreds, thousandswho knows?of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.
(Excerpt) Read more at bighollywood.breitbart.com ...
He is on local radio Tuesday in Indy. He gave a very detailed and entertaining account of the dinner with Bill and Bernadine.
It was informative and odd.
I believe I also read anacoounting on his website.
Andrew died of either a heart attack, stroke, or poisoning or who knows what else it could have been but it isn't natural at 42.
-——Ive known 2 people who have died from heart attacks between 40 and 50. Usually an inherited condition. Tragic.-——
A friend of mine had a heart attack at 47. No congenital condition. He was as fit as possible for his age. Thankfully, he survived.
We have lost one of our greatest conservative advocates. RIP, Andrew Breitbart.
I'm afraid that my first thoughts were conspitorial in nature. :(
When I lived in TX, my 37 year old neighbor dropped dead on his front lawn a week after he'd had a complete executive physical exam which he'd passed with flying colors.
One voice has fallen silent but a chorus will arise in his spirit.
Oh my goodness! I'm stunned by this news. RIP, Mr. Breitbart.
Those of us who knew him really well all knew that day was coming, though. I'd imagine people who were really close to Breitbart weren't as shocked as the rest of us are now.
I wonder if there is an investigation into his death would they place police tape around his office (courteosy of the justice dept) for a period of time until, say next November when it will be determined that there was no foul play. But until then...nothing leaves his office. I don't know.
He has 4 children
Breitbart was adept at uncovering corruption on the left. What kind of person would celebrate his death?
There is such a thing as good and evil and I will celebrate when evil is diminished and grieve when it is strengthened.
Thanks. Nice to see reasonable reactions, from sometimes unreasonable folks.
RIP Andrew. A true conservative fighter for truth. You will be missed and have left a big hole in the conservative media seeking truth from government and Hollywood. Prayers for your family.
"many ways to induce one chemically"
That's what I'm thinking but more along the lines of self-induced. The medical examiner's report will get to the bottom of it.
Oh, this is a shock. Prayers for his family.
I can't believe this!
OMG. Cannot believe this. Rest in Peace Andrew.
Just saw this on Fox. totally shocked I loved Andrew Breitbart. He was a Happy Warrior, funny as heck, fearless and innovative. He will be missed.

Most of the characters in "The Spitfire Grill" are seeking redemption. Their interwoven struggles are the subject matter of the popular musical with music and book by James Valcq and lyrics and book by Fred Alley, based on the 1996 film by Lee David Zlotoff.
Most of the characters in "The Spitfire Grill" are seeking redemption. Their interwoven struggles are the subject matter of the popular musical with music and book by James Valcq and lyrics and book by Fred Alley, based on the 1996 film by Lee David Zlotoff.
The off-Broadway production won the The American Academy of Arts and Letters' Richard Rodgers Production Award in 2001, and the play has since been produced hundreds of times all over the world, now including a vibrant, carefully textured production by Next Stage Repertory Company that opened a short run at the Craterian Theater at the Collier Center in downtown Medford Thursday night.
At the center of the Doug Warner-directed musical — the first ever undertaken by Next Stage Rep — is the journey of Percy Talbot, a emotionally wounded young woman starting a new life after prison in the mythical small town of Gilead, Oregon. The twist is that the homespun town itself has fallen on hard times but will undertake a journey, perhaps of renewal.
Released on parole, Percy (Danielle Pecoff) gets a job at the Spitfire Grill, where the proprietor, Hannah Ferguson (Presila Quinby), is herself a spitfire. Burdened with a long-time secret of her own, Hannah has been trying to sell the grill, seemingly forever, with no results. That leaves it to Percy to come up with the winning idea: an essay contest to choose the new owner.
When the townspeople, represented by comically snoopy postmaster Effy Krayneck (Gwen Overland), the town gossip, become suspicious of Percy in the way small towns do, Percy wonders if she's made a mistake. But when Hannah breaks a leg, it's up to Percy to keep the Spitfire afloat. The problem: She can't cook.
That leads to a rescue by overbearing Caleb's (Peter Wickliffe) wife Shelby (Julia Cuppy) and some female bonding, reflected in songs such as the hopeful "The Colors of Paradise." "Shoot the Moon" is a song about the necessity of taking chances.
There's a lot of singing indeed, with miked-up actors singing to a recorded soundtrack. Under Josh Killingsworth's vocal direction, the singing is strong and emotional, often featuring lovely harmonies. The songs are Broadway-esque with a dash of country twang, and they are never merely atmospheric, serving always to move the plot along.
The set, which Warner designed, places the diner stage left and a sort of outback bower where action takes place outside the grill. A mysterious figure who keeps coming here to take the bread that Hannah has Percy put out back will figure in the play's emotional climax.
A nice conceit is that Brad Nelson's lights reflect the tenor of the action on the stage, with the sky lighting up, for example, when there's a profound revelation afoot.
There are a lot of hard stories in Gilead, including Shelby's about losing hope, Caleb's about trying to make it in a world where hard work is no longer enough, and Percy's, which involves growing up around the coal mines of West Virginia and coming in for some of the hardest knocks imaginable. About the only character not dogged down by life is Sheriff Joe Sutter (Adam Cuppy).
The town itself seemed to hit the skids about the time Hannah's son, Eli, went missing in Vietnam after volunteering.
Nuggets of heartland wisdom jump out here and there, as when Percy says of a wound that, "the healing can hurt as bad as what caused it." Later, Hannah reflects on her life, saying, "the pain will come like some forgotten lullaby."
The spectacle of the town pulling together and showing resilience and hope, as reflected in the tune, "Come Alive Again," salutes the town's arc as seen through the changes in the lives of its denizens. It's never quite clear why a contest contrived by Percy has some a magical effect on the whole town.
The spirit of resilience shown by the town in the second act must have been bracing for off-Broadway audiences in the wake of 911, when the play was new. What "The Spitfire Grill" lacks in sophisticated cleverness it makes up for with something often missing from Broadway shows: heart.
It brings to life a bucolic world in which change is possible. It may be painful at times, but that's the way redemption seems to work.
Performances continue at 7:30 this evening (Friday) and Saturday. Tickets are $18 at the box office, 16 S. Bartlett St., at www.craterian .org or by calling 779-3000.

Couple of quick questions
I currently have a CrackBerry Curve 8330 and there are only three pending phones that could get me off it; the Samsung Instinct HD, BlackBerry Storm 2 if Sprint gets it, and the HTC Hero. I know the Storm 2 & the Instinct HD will give you a full QWERTY keyboard if you tip the phone on the side (based on the Instinct & Instinct S30 and the Storm). Does the Hero have the same functionality? I don't think I could really function without a QWERTY keyboard. I have used T9 before (Sanyo 200, 8200 & Katana DLX) as well as full QWERTY (my Curve 8330 & a HPPC6700 aka HTC Apache) and I definately prefer the QWERTY keyboard. Next, will the phone be able to run apps from the micro SD card? 133MB of RAM is not all that much (the Storm 2 will...
ANDROID and SERO???

This is a companion document to The Heartland Project. These observations have been made earlier.
Some anticipated responses: Telling a Republican the truth is like telling a four year old that there is no Santa Claus: They can't accept it, and will beat their little fists furiously against the adult that brings them into the real world. The will deny, distort, whine and lie some more. The lies, for the most part, fall into three categories which seem to derive from the rhetorical responses heard on hate radio. Many on the far right have spent more time with Rush/O'Reilly/Ollie than they have with their spouses, and it shows.
Dittohead response #1: Change the subject. Preferably to Clinton.
Dittohead response #2: The "Everybody Does It" defense.
Dittohead response #3: The personal attack.

Wantable Intimates Subscription Box Review – January 2015
Wantable Intimates is one of the subscriptions from Wantable, and it is probably my favorite box they offer. Like all Wantable subscriptions, you can heavily customize what they send you by filling out your preferences – and you still get to be surprised!
FYI – they recently changed the amount of items you get in this subscription from 4-5 to 3-4.
Here is more info from Wantable on the change:
"Wantable made several changes to our intimates collection based on customer feedback which we implemented on October 24th. Some of these changes included adding a new lingerie category, adding a sexy style option and increasing individual item value. As a result all collections now contain 3 sometimes 4 items, where previously collections contained 4 sometimes 5 items."
Wantable kindly sent me this box to review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Subscription Box: Wantable Intimates Subscription
The Cost: $36 a month (one time only purchase available for $40)
The Products: Intimates products based on your profile settings.
Ships to: US, Canada (additional $6), UK (additional $7) and Australia (additional $10)
Check out all of my Wantable reviews and the Women's Subscription Box Directory!
When you first sign up for any Wantable subscription you take a style quiz and you can get very specific about the items you want and don't want. (This is the list of my loves, likes and dislikes from my invoice).
Here are the order details as well.
real Underwear Fleece PJ Set – Value $48
This isn't the most flattering PJ set – but it is one of the most comfortable and cozy sets I've ever worn! It is perfect for snow days and Netflix marathons! (They sized up in this set since it runs small).
Sophie B Sweet Escape Chemise – Retail Price Listed on Invoice $36 (Retail Price listed on Hanes site is $24, On sale for $18)
It's not clear from the photo, but the black fabric in this chemise is a semi-sheer rose pattern. It also comes with a matching thong.
Verdict: I'm really happy with both of my items this month. The retail value of this box is about $72, and it seems like the $70-$80 range in value is what I should expect from Wantable Intimates since they've made some changes. I'm find with that value as long as I like all the items – and this month I do!
What do you think of the January Wantable Intimates box? Did you get a Fleece PJ set?

Connecting moms in Polk County, Fla.
My family and I are looking for the best doctors in Lakeland. I do alot of research before I finally choose a doctor to stick to. We just moved here so I need to switch all of our primary doctors. Who is the best to go with? We have Cigna Insurance so its easy to find someone because almost everyone takes it.
I have been looking into Aspen Dental but I havent found any reviews really on them. So any information would be great. I am a huge baby and have had TONS of dental work done and I need someone to really understand how scared I am to go.
I also need a pediatric dentist. I have found Shirin Yasrebi at Pediatric Dental and her ratings seem to be good. Any information on her or the place would be great! Or if you have someone else who will take GREAT care of my Princess that would be great too.
Adult Doctors. As far as doctors go who do you TRUST the most?
Pediatricians. I have found Lakeside Pediatrics, Dr. Rolette Ayanna as far as ratings go to be the best in Lakeland.
Any advice and guidence on to whome to go to, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance. :)

To learn more about KSF, whose partners include the Former Louisiana Attorney General, Charles C. Foti, Jr., and other lawyers with significant experience litigating complex securities class actions nationwide on behalf of both institutional and individual shareholders, you may visit www.ksfcounsel.com.
Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") and KSF partner, the former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., remind investors that they have until November 29, 2013 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against BioScrip Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOS), if they purchased the Company's securities during the period between August 8, 2011 and September 20, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period"). This action is pending in the Southern District of New York United States District Court. What You May Do If you purchased shares of BioScrip and would like to discuss your legal rights and how this case might affect you and your right to recover for your economic loss, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-877-515-1850, or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn ( email@example.com) or KSF Partner Melinda Nicholson ( email@example.com). If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff in this class action, you must petition the Court by November 29, 2013. About the Lawsuit BioScrip and certain of its executives are charged with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. On September 23, 2013, BioScrip disclosed that it received a civil investigative demand from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and a subpoena from the New York State Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, regarding the distribution of the product Exjade by the Company's legacy specialty pharmacy division. Since this news, the price of the Company's stock has fallen by over 49%—from $11.07 at close of trading the last day of trading before the announcement, September 20, 2013, to $5.65 at close of trading after BioScrip released disappointing third-quarter earnings on November 7, 2013.
