The 2010 Locus Awards winners were announced this past weekend in Seattle, Washington. Voted on by subscribers to Locus Magazine and non-subscribers who read SF and Fantasy, the awards are a kind of "People's Choice" award for genre fiction.
Winners in the novel categories included Cherie Priest, China Mieville, and Paolo Bacigalupi for, respectively a steampunk western/zombie novel, a breach of fantasy and noir fiction, and a dystopic view of a future that could be deemed anti-steampunk. Priest will soon have a sequel out, while Mieville has moved on to dealing with the complex issue of squid cults and Bacigalupi's ShipbreakerYA novel is receiving wide-spread acclaim (look for an interview here soon).
Voters took a moment to remember Kage Baker, who passed on recently, in the Best Novella category. Baker was among the field's most talented writers, and had a true knack for humor, as well. Neil Gaiman, who has produced much fine work, won best short story for a minor piece in a Jack Vance appreciation anthology. Meanwhile, Seattle's own Aqueduct Press won in the nonfiction book category.
Click here for the complete list of winners.

It's getting hot as hell in Florida (averaging 90 degrees here) and it ain't even summer yet.
I usually use the Neurtogena dry touch SPF30 sunblock but I'm getting bit by mosquitos now.
I recently bought the Bullfrog combo mosquito repellant/30 spf aunblock but when I put it on I feel like a walking oil slick. Something tells me the sunblock part isn't as effective as the Neutrogena since I seem to be darker, especially in my arms, by the time my short 30 minute commute ride ends.
Any other recommendations?

Two days later, after a 16-mile detour that touches the JMT, I'm back on sketchy terrain. This time, I'm navigating a labyrinth of cliff bands above Lower Palisade Lake. The exposure and slick tundra ramps require all of my focus, and I'm whipped by the time I pitch camp near Cirque Pass.
That night, camped on a granite slab next to an unnamed tarn, surrounded by the immense, parabolic ridgelines of the Cirque Crest, my solo tent looks awfully tiny. Staring up at the peaks, their tips glowing in the fading sun, I feel a twinge in my gut that I haven't felt since a six-week solo on Alaska's North Slope, 15 years ago.
The spasm of uncertainty is ironic, because the JMT is just three miles back, and I'd encountered 65 people on it in just three hours. In two days, I'll be at South Lake, one of the Sierra's busiest locales. And at least 10 million outdoorsy Californians live within a day's drive of the trailheads here.
But proximity is deceptive, especially in the mountains. Four formidable ridges rise between me and the nearest parking lot, and very few of the JMT's hordes ever venture into these trailless cirques. It occurs to me that steepness, obscurity, and difficult routefinding make more effective wilderness boundaries than legislation or mere distance.

Having a hobby is something that's common to people, regardless of your status in life. Whether you're a poor or rich or just an average citizen of any country, chances are, there's always that something that you find enjoyable about doing.
Whatever it is that you love doing, as long as it's legal and socially acceptable, it is worthy of harnessing whether it is cooking shrimp recipes. As a child most of us have different ways of expressing things that we like or dislikes and we have learned to develop things that we like into a more organized system of personal attributes also known as hobbies.
Finding your passion
If in case you're still undecided of what your hobby is or are, the most basic thing to do is to identify your passion, click here for more information. Identifying your passion will lead you to self-discovery and other things that will yield valuable information about yourself.
If lately you have noticed that you love reading 50 shades grey from cover to cover, then you passion must be somewhere in the literary area or about reading in particular. If you have found something that you really love doing, then chances are, that's your passion or that's where your heart is.
Understand yourself first
If you want to get to know yourself a lot better, you need to take extra effort to get to know yourself first. This could be in a form of love for Selena Gomez music or love for writing anniversary message in a form of a blog.
With the latter, if you're already writing for a blog or you own a blog, you might want to monetize that blog by featuring lawn mower deals, which is another topic. It only shows that doing what you like doesn't have to be boring or uninteresting. In fact, you can make money out of it.

Notice the /absolute/ claim of your first sentence. Notice the /universal/ qualifier "anyone". Now compare to:

Notice the /partial/ qualifier "not necessarily". Notice the /existential/ qualifier "sometimes". Taking note of these qualifications do you now see how:

As explained above this has no relation to my goals. And I have stated elsewhere a four step process that I think is reasonable (for dealing with VI if it appears).

Notice again your use of absolute, universal qualification. Do you realize how precarious the ground you stand on is? Do you realize the ENTIRE essence of my post was to help us see beyond this black and white view?

Since I was talking about the "tone of a speaker's message". Your rather rude "we mean by 'insult'" is irrelevant.
And who is "we"? Do you include me (Keith) in we? I find those words insulting. Was that your intention?

For the short term possibly. Hence all the cautionary qualification first made (and pointed out again).

Notice again your black and white, absolute claim? Also, there is no need to speculate how I would counter. I have already argued my case in very clear terms. Of course your snipped the paragraph most on point.

Compare the suggestion made in my last sentence above to your black and white claim.

> > intelligent and right at the same time?
> People are not rude "by nature" but because they are

Another absolute universal claim. Do you have any evidence to prove this? That is to exclude the possibly of natural rudeness? What about habitual unintentional rudeness? What does the common phrase "they have an abrasive personality" mean? What about "type A" personalities?
[By the way, if you respond at all to the above paragraph, I ask that you leave it entirely intact. That is please do not snip or separate any of the sentences.]
> Social correctness is as much an intellectual effort as

> he is intellectually lazy.
This claim is illogical. Even if social correctness is "as much an intellectual effort" as logical correctness, social incorrectness does not imply intellectually laziness and /a fortiori/ does not imply logical incorrectness. One reason is that intellectual energy is a finite resource. Here is an amusing example of applying such "logic":
Climbing K2 is as much a physical effort as climbing Everest - which tells me someone failing to climb K2 is physically lazy.
Do you see the logical error? Perhaps this was an exaggeration and you meant something less absolute?
(Now I have a sneaking suspicion that upon reading the above you will be tempted to rush to some immediate "response" to "prove me wrong". I would like to caution you against such action. The above logic is so basic that if we disagree here then one of us is in serious logical trouble. So please consider my argument carefully. Be sure to note that the example was made intentionally extreme for amusement and to highlight the logical fallacy. More reasonable yet equally demonstrative examples are easy to construct.)

Asymmetry perhaps. Yet that is quite far from your earlier absolutist claims. Also your "the sender initiates the communication" claim is ambiguous. Because we are talking about a communication /thread/ consisting of possibly many send-receive units traveling in both directions. Therefore one could easily argue that the original poster (the creator of a thread) "initiates the communication". Anyhow I have no quarrel with your claim of some asymmetry. I reject your black and white claims and have already given my ultimate conclusion which again you snipped and did not comment on:

Name, e-mail or key-id (
Paste your new or updated and ASCII-armored public key into the text area to upload it to the server.
Give me server stats! ...with cross-peering information.
This is the web interface to the
sks.pkqs.net OpenPGP keyserver.
OpenPGP [RFC 4880] is a standardized format for cryptographic data, notably keys, signatures, and encrypted messages. The Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) tool, OpenPGP has evolved of, has originally been written by Philip Zimmermann for asymmetric (public-key) e-mail encryption. Nowadays, a well-known OpenPGP implementation, besides today's PGP software, is GnuPG, which is licensed under the GNU GPL.
In asymmetric cryptography a public key is used for encryption and a secret (or private) key for decryption. Because we do not want to attach our public key in each mail, keyservers have been invented. The first PKS (PGP Public Key Server; now OpenPGP Public Key Server) has been written by Marc Horowitz at MIT. The protocol is therefore named Horowitz Key Protocol, short HKP. A single keyserver is a single point of failure, but many keyservers need to synchronize their data. The SKS (Synchronizing Key Server), written by Yaron Minsky, provides a scaling sync algorithm, while – unlike PKS – being capable of more recent OpenPGP features.
So this server is running
sks 1.0.10 (since 2007-04-13) and you may
upload, extract, refresh and search for keys. To use it with GnuPG on a UNIX-like
platform, write
keyserver x-hkp://sks.pkqs.net
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. This server runs on port
by the way. This web interface also provides limited access to the
SKS, but I strongly recommend using a more sophisticated tool.
If you like to switch to another keyserver, you may have a look at the
SKS keyserver list or choose a random

"I know how to put it into a melody and make it comical, but sexual at the same time," the R&B star explains in the next issue of Rolling Stone. "With my gift, I can pretty much write a song out of anything."

The Cutter Wrap Artist Bar Tape steps up when your old bar tape starts looking like the vinyl seats in the car on your neighbor's lawn. Smooth but never slippery, grippy but never gummy, this gel-cushioned bar tape wants to be your palms' best buddy.
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
The Bomb
I foolishly had my bars re-wrapped recently as this was getting dirty. Had I known what I'd be missing, I'd have kept riding it--or at least tried to scour. Have ridden all kinds of tape--including the big name brands. Cutter's by far the best--for cush, for grippiness & texture, for good looks (actually stayed white with care for about 1 year of moderate riding). The screen-printed little alien logos wore off in heavy-use areas but that's the only thing that wore remotely. If I knew the landfill where the used tape was, I go dig it out. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK, Cutter, PLEASE!
As good as tapes that cost 2x the $
Bought to put on the CX bike. It's good stuff! Like Alex, I don't wear gloves unless it's below about 55 degrees, and this tape is plenty cushy. It's not slippery at all when hands are sweaty either.
The length is plenty long, even for the biggest hooks. I ride 46cm Deda deeps, and double wrap the tops, yet there was more than enough tape to do the job.
It goes on very easily, even though there's no adhesive. No complaints at all. I'll definitely buy more...
So fresh and so clean!
Good Stuff
Love this tape. Like the previous reviewer mentioned, it's some chubby tape indeed. I prefer to ride without gloves and I like cushy tape and this stuff fits the bill - and at $6 on Bonktown, you can't go wrong. Bought the black and wrapped my bars to cover the Cutter logo and it looks sharp, really dig the subtle diamond pattern in the tape. I was running some cushy Sram tape on before that I really liked and this stuff is just as good. Only have about a month on the bike with this tape, still looks great, but I don't know how durable it's going to be for the season, but at $6 a pop, I'm not too worried about it. Great tape, great bargain, I'm a fan.
Comfy and stretchy. Like a chubby ballerina.
And, as with chubby ballerinas, there is a downside. But first, the upsides. It's stretchy and very easy to install compared to cork and microfiber tapes. I've never had a bar wrap so quickly and cleanly as I have with this stuff. It's also quite comfortable, and on the thicker, squishier side for road tape. I don't ride with gloves, so I'm a fan there.
Downsides: The fit and finish leaves a bit to be desired. The little "Cutter" logos on the tape (which can be easily covered in the wrap process if you so desire) rub off on your first sweaty ride. The finish tape is a basic greyish strip, if that's your thing, and the endcaps are blank silver plugs - nothing fancy here.
I can't speak to how clean the white stays, as I have the black, but it's a synthetic material and I'd imagine it's easier to keep clean than a white cork tape.
Good Tape
My average speed went up 2.4 mph on my first ride with this tape. Really works!

Cutter Wrap Artist Bar Tape
Nothing like crisp white bar tape to make your ride look fresh. Super Comfy. Highly Recommended. Sure there is probably better out there, but this is sooooo good for how cheap it is.
Full Bike w/ Cutter Bar Tape
Cutter Bar Tape w / Dura Ace
Very Nice
Just threw these on the cross bike I'm borrowing and although they will probably get pretty dirty they are really comfy. After one cross race I'm impressed enough to be getting another set for my road bike.
I don't like gloves.
And since i don't like gloves, i like a nice padded bar tape, and since i like a nice padded bar tape, i like this bar tape. It gets the job done, isn't slippery and i haven't had any problems with it coming off or slipping on the bars as yet. The little pieces of tape that come with it for the end of the wrap kind of suck though, so i just used electrical tape which has worked great.

On November 13, 2009 this all changed when Gangsters Dueling Piano Bar opened in Newport next to The Newport Syndicate.
Gangsters offers a different twist by way of the dueling piano bar concept by featuring a black and white piano as the central focal point on a elevated stage with a dance floor while overlooking the bar & restaurant. Gangsters features bartenders and servers alike who can serve you up your favorite cocktail as well as dinner while singing and dancing with you during your visit.
Our dueling piano bar has already been a big hit with bridal, bachelorette and birthday parties where guests are offered specialty drink buckets, signature cocktails and are invited to the stage to sing and dance.
With a 200 person capacity, drink specials, food served late into the night, no cover charge, and top-notch pianists who make the commute to Newport from all over the country Gangsters has proved to be the #1 dueling piano bar in the tristate area.

NEW FLORENCE, Mo. — Farmers in this hardscrabble patch of the Midwest know the discomfort of summer heat, they've suffered through dry weather before, and they've certainly lived through the boom-and-bust cycles of modern farming. But they've never season a drought like the one that's gripping much of the nation, and they're seeing miserable growing conditions rivaled only perhaps by the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s.
The images of drought have played across TV screens and on Internet portals for weeks on end. These images, however, don't match the experience of seeing the effects of the summer of 2012 up close.
The soil is cracked like weather-parched lips all across this once-verdant farmland, roughly a 90-minute drive due west of St. Louis or about two hours east of Kansas City. So dry and weak are the cornstalks out here that a gathering wind knocks over entire fields.
"We're cutting it down just so we don't have to look at it," said Carl, 67, a lifelong farmer in the New Florence area.
A prideful man who doesn't want his surname used, given his struggles this year with Mother Nature, Carl gingerly came off his tractor with the help of a cane and sat on one of its steps. He works the farm with his 36-year-old son, Scott. The family dog, Rover, scampered around and Carl's mother watched from a distance.
"In her 92 years, she said, she's never seen anything like it," Carl said, shaking his head while recounting the hard times befalling local farmers.
Over the past six weeks, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated 1,821 counties in 35 states as disaster areas, at least 1,692 of them due to drought. The agency is calling it the worst drought in more than 50 years. The USDA has designated almost the entire state of Missouri as under extreme drought conditions or exceptional, the worst designation.
The outlook wasn't much better when McClatchy Newspapers visited farms in Madison, Ill., just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. There, corn crops were greener than in New Florence, but the earth was similarly cracked and crops are clearly stunted near the banks of the river, where water levels have fallen dramatically.
At the local cooperative in New Florence, where farmers all own shares of the company, Randy Rodgers is worried. It's not that things are a bit worse; they're off the charts.
"Production here is going to be off 75 to 80 percent. That's a big drop-off," he said.
Put another way, for every dollar of production, at least 75 cents is lost. These are the kind of losses that cripple a farm. All around the area, "For Sale" signs dot the roadsides as farmers try to sell land that, at least this year, isn't generating profit and income.
Adding to the kick in the teeth farmers are taking, many had been lulled into a false sense of security by the drought-resistant genetically modified seeds they've been planting.
"We'd come to believe that we were kind of protected against the weather. But clearly Mother Nature is still queen," said Rodgers, who farmed for more than two decades before turning to running the cooperative, where farmers buy their seed, fertilizer and other necessities.
Rodgers doesn't bemoan the dry weather's effect on the drought-resistant crops.
"It's kind of amazing it held on as long as it did. . We kind of kept hoping that if we hold on and get a little rain," he said, his voice trailing off.
The cooperative had sold most of what was needed for this year's planting, so the effects of the unforgettable drought of 2012 will be felt next year, in the reduced purchasing power of local farmers.
For growers who produce single crops, such as corn or soybeans, crop insurance is likely to ease the sting for many, said Ray Massey, a professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia's agriculture extension program. For much of the past decade, at least 7 million acres of Missouri crops were insured.
"The problem with Missouri is that very few people are just crop producers. In Missouri almost everyone (on the farm) has cattle, and they've run out of food for their cattle," Massey said, predicting that the early slaughter of livestock will bring lasting problems. "That's going to be the long-term impact. The number of cattle is going to decrease significantly. It's going to take years to recover from this."
The agency on Wednesday relaxed grazing rules set forth in crop insurance programs, in an effort to ease the drought's burden on livestock producers. It also modified its emergency loan programs, so farmers and livestock producers can seek low-interest loans before the end of growing seasons.
There are other problems from this year's devastating drought, perhaps less obvious. Not only does the New Florence area supply ethanol producers and corn mills, but a lot of the area's product also is exported around the world.
The United States has been the top supplier of corn globally, but Rodgers, the cooperative leader, fears that the drought creates an opportunity for competitors.
"One of my real concerns is that by having such a shortage of corn that we're going to lose a lot of market share down the road," he said, pointing to new supply relationships being forged abroad as a result of the U.S. drought.

A little over a year ago I was interviewing Doug Tallamy and we were discussing the value of native plants in our landscapes and bemoaning the fact that after so many years of him traveling around the country speaking on this topic, and the many others also speaking about this, that so few people are aware of how much we can make a difference for wildlife and our environment by adding more native plants to our landscapes.
Doug said to me that we needed to find a way to have a bigger voice so that more people would learn about this much quicker. And with that thought in mind, I set out to create that bigger voice. I invited some experts from around the country to join the team at Native Plants and Wildlife Gardens so that we could begin a conversation about native plants, wildlife gardens, ecological restoration, schoolyard habitats, energy and water-wise landscapes, green roofs, and so much more.
And here we are a year later!
It's so exciting. And I am thrilled and honored to share this space with some amazing people who have made this site such an important resource. And I wanted to take a moment to thank and acknowledge each team member who has worked so hard to bring you such well-researched, thought-provoking, and informative posts.
So, in no particular order, big thanks to the following amazing folks:

The Sun Journal�s Sunday, March 24, story on the local impacts of sequestration make me mad. Our Congress and President jockey for political advantage in the battle to reduce the deficit, while real people suffer from the effects of sequestration. Not only that, but the economy languishes because no one can predict which contracts will be funded, and which will not.
Something is upside down here. We retirees continue to live normally, while our younger citizens are again forced to pay by taking forced furloughs. These are the people who pay for Social Security and Medicare while raising and educating children, buying food, transportation, and paying taxes. The pay they lose is lost to many businesses, and tax revenue is lost.
A major portion of the Government�s expenditure comes from the entitlements, Social Security and Medicare. In his 2013 State of the Union address President Obama said, �Our government shouldn�t make promises we cannot keep � but we must keep the promises we�ve already made.� I think in order to keep those promises the U.S. must make adjustments to keep the system healthy.
The United States has to reduce the deficit and lower the national debt, but it cannot all be through reduced spending. All my life I have heard politicians promise �I�ll cut waste in government and balance the budget.� Or �Iraqi oil will pay for our war to liberate Iraq.� Or, �Reduce taxes and the resulting economic stimulus will increase revenues enough to balance the budget.� I haven�t seen any of promises put into practice successfully. To get out of our current problems will require intelligent reduction of expenditure combined with some increases in taxes. The problem is; who sacrifices? I think it should be all of us.
My wife and I are not rich, but we are comfortable. In addition to a good retirement we both receive Social Security and are covered by Medicare. It seems to me that we and others like us should pay our share.
� Social Security benefits (all, not just 85 percent) should be taxed based on the bracket the taxpayer�s Adjusted Gross Income would indicate. Low income seniors would not be affected.
� The age to begin Social Security payments should be raised to better recognize today�s longer life expectancy.
� Medicare should have means criteria, such that those in the upper tax brackets pay higher premiums.
Some other steps:
� The Affordable Care Act should be amended to limit liability suits to a reasonable amount, and to allow the Government to negotiate drug prices.
� Loop holes in the tax system should be systematically eliminated, starting with those whose original justification no longer exists, Examples, subsidies to major farm corporations, and oil companies.

In the recent history of labor relations, corporations have relied on a rationale of "flexibility" to protect their profit margins. Even when some of these same corporations are making record profits, they look for ways to eliminate those full-time jobs that provide decent wages and a modicum of security.
While public universities are non-profit institutions, they are increasingly exhibiting corporate behavior. From highly paid presidents to superfluous administrators, universities are also adopting the language and practices of corporate labor relations, especially when it comes to replacing tenured faculty with poorly paid part-time teachers.
Among the arguments advanced by the Administration bargaining team at Wayne State University for eliminating tenure is the need for "flexibility." In effect, as maintained by Wayne State Law Professor Michael McIntyre, a former chief negotiator for the faculty union, "What (the Administration) apparently wants is the authority to fire people if it chooses to spend money to advance some agenda that it considers more important than retaining faculty and academic staff, even if these people are performing their jobs at least adequately and perhaps...even brilliantly."
I was a member of a former department at Wayne State that had served working adults in Metro Detroit for more than 40 years with great success and distinction. For reasons that had little to do with economic concerns and more to do with an agenda that no longer valued working class adults, this program was eliminated. Our contract provisions at the time guaranteed placement for our faculty in other departments throughout the university. Under the newly proposed Administration provisions for termination of tenured faculty and academic staff, this protection would no longer exist.
For many workers in the metropolitan area who have been declared "redundant" or replaced with temps, the demand by faculty and staff at Wayne State to retain tenure may seem rather arcane, if not arrogant. However, what is at stake at this urban public university is particularly evident to teachers and public workers everywhere. In the name of "flexibility" and budget constraints, executives are advancing their own corporate and elitist interests.
Certainly, the history of tenure is rooted in the need to retain academic freedom, a noble goal in a democratic society where healthy debate and difference is essential to the maintenance and expansion of that democracy. Whether this is, as terminating faculty and staff because of financial exigency, a "luxury of the past," as suggested by one of the members of the WSU Administration team, is yet to be determined. Nonetheless, what appears to be evident from the posturing and proposals of the Administration is a desire to destroy those full-time well-paid jobs that may actually serve the real needs of the diverse working class constituency of Metro Detroit.

The era of handwritten letters had come to an end years ago, but the same was accelerated due to the emergence of many people moving towards emails and social networking sites for the basic reason of saving time and assurance of delivery .Also, many of us do post letters, though not written in ink but printed using a computer printer after typing it on our PC's.
To be true, I have not written a single letter to any of my loved one in ages, this may be due to the presence of phones or the fact that I never trusted the Postal system enough to believe that it will make my letters reach their destinations on time. The last time I remember writing a letter was when I needed to assert my grievance against the delay in processing of my passport. Before, this heroic act I used to write letters only during my English examination, conducted during the tenure of my school or college. It was more of a forceful act rather than my willingness to write such letters.
Gone are those days where people used to write letters to their loved ones and curiously waited for a reply. Though, these handwritten letters are very personal and do add a new crispiness to the air while one reads them, there has been a steady decline in it. Today we have emails that on a click of a button will flash our message to the desired recipient in time that can be compared to blink of one's eye.
But then again, don't we like watching movies in which the lovers exchange such notes through personalized letters. Think how funny it may sound (romantic for some though) to write a love letter to your girlfriend describing how immensely you are in love with her and how beautiful she is to your eyes using your E-Mail. Now compare it to a real time personalized letter having rose petals and your favorite perfume sprinkled on it, this letter will be saved for years to come and would make you remember of the love that you once shared.
Still to do this you will need to send this letter by FedEx or some other good courier service to ensure that it does reach on time. It shouldn't be like you write a letter to your girlfriend on her birthday for women falling next week and due to some perennial mistake of the postal department it reaches her the next year and at that time you are even not going around with her any more.. (Just a wild imagination, you see !!)So, what can be done… Hmm.. Let's say.. if you send a letter through normal mail, you can also send a email telling that you have send a letter.(Hilarious)
Let's, see what happens to this system of handwritten in coming future, and I hope this doesn't becomes ac curators love in some museum somewhere..
Keep reading, and keep writing letter using your hand not keyboard, at least some times!!

Maria Bazan was at her home in the Hidden Glen Mobile Home Park on the night of May 5 when her boyfriend, Angel Reyes, allegedly doused her with flammable liquid and set her on fire.
Officials said it appears Reyes came to the home, poured gas all over her and the home, started a fire, locked the doors and left.
Neighbors saw the smoke and ran to the woman's rescue.
"She tried to escape, but she couldn't, so the neighbor tried to break the window open with a bat and she got out from there, and she came into flames," witness Eric Chavez said on the night of the fire.
Bazan was taken to Harborview Medical Center with serious burns. She died at the hospital on Sunday, according to Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff's Office.
Reyes is being held in Pierce County Jail. His bail was set at $1 million.

A Thank You
Amy Tofte | Jan 13, 2013 | Comments 0 |
For the parents, the siblings and all the extended family who donated to the Kickstarter or the Raffle or the Silent Auction or all of the above. For booking the plane ticket to make it on opening weekend (or closing) and then taking the cast out for dinner. For spotting the gas/grocery/internet bill money during our undergrad…or graduate degrees…or even now because the day-job doesn't always cut it.
For the friend, the spouse, the co-worker, the lady who cuts hair and the guy who works the 7-11 graveyard shift every Saturday night—those who ask how the audition went, how the show is going, when is it happening and then buying a ticket and actually showing up. And bringing a friend.
For the casts and crews, the directors and playwrights, the designers, the accidental administrators and tireless fundraisers, and all those people who magically make things like programs and marketing and tearful death scenes and straight hemlines happen without being asked a second time if they are ever asked at all. Who use vacation time and sick days to fix a scene or a set or a script.
For the theater owners and coordinators, the stage managers, producers and publicists, the carpenters, electricians and TDs who work magic with resources and spaces and numbers. Who eke out a living while hanging on to a space and craft and don't lose their minds scheduling 12 actors and 2 understudies for rehearsals and a 4 – week run 3 days a week with the possibility of extending if the planets align and all goes well.
For those who stay up all night to write and blog and create email blasts for audiences and fundraisers or connect with that one donor who gave the big gift that saved the show/the company/the theater. Who make it to the post office in time to get the postmark for the grant application or the insurance payment so there isn't an annoying late fee. For Board Members who don't just show up for meetings and parties but also when it's needed most.
For those who get paid little to nothing for getting the word out and spewing an opinion or praising so something won't be missed by those who need to see it (and throwing a small fit when they do). For keeping the dialogue alive and going out for a beer after to talk about the script because of genuine curiosity and care.
For those who take the time to create awards and weekly accolades and top ten lists and reasons why. And those who don't even read reviews and will keep going no matter what they win or don't get recognized for.
For those who create the thing on stage someone told them couldn't be done. Or shouldn't be done. Or should be done better by someone else and go get a real job while you still can.
For those who dared to start over doing something they really love for a change because you only live once but you get to die in a sword fight every night when you play Hamlet.
For those who understand that theater doesn't belong to a select group of artists with the right training, proper background or financial resources but to anyone who dares to walk the high wire and take some risks discovering who they are and what questions they still have for the world.
For all of you, every last one of you…
Audiences to artists…intellectuals to instigators…donors to doers…newbies in the fold to the beautifully nuanced…
Thank You for creating our Los Angeles Theater.
Happy 2013.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
the ticket i pay it but say that i have a arraignment date has been scheduled
was for speeding and that day i forgot to bring my insurance
Thank you for your follow-up, David.Just to be clear, you were pulled over for speeding and then you were also cited for not having insurance, correct?If that is the case, the reason the courts require you to appear is because driving without insurance (or driving without proof of insurance) is a very serious violation. The courts want to see for themselves that you have insurance, and that is why they are demanding that you appear and physically show them that your insurance is up to date. That is really the best way of removing that ticket, and it also keeps you from getting your license suspended. If you are found guilty of not having insurance, the courts will suspend your license until you obtain insurance for your vehicle.Good luck.
so can i show them my proof of my insurance and fix that why i have to go to court
but my question is i missed my court date but they send me the total amount that i need to pay for the bail and i pay it but they still want me to go to court so your r saying that i have to show my insurance
David,If you missed your court date, then that is very serious because the courts likely issued a bench warrant to arrest you. This is why they now want to see you, you missed the court date and if you fail to appear, you can be jailed. Not only that, but because you missed your court hearing, you also have to apologize to the judge for missing the hearing as otherwise he will simply send you to jail for contempt of court, which is disrespecting the courts authority by ignoring the summons and failing to appear.Good luck.
so can i hire a lawyer to go for me
No, you cannot. While you can hire an attorney to come with you, if you personally fail to appear, you will likely be arrested at some point.Good luck.
so your are saying im gonna get arrested, but was not my intention to miss the court and i was paying the bail
David,That is not what I am stating. I am stating if you do not show up this time you will likely get arrested. That isn't a done deal, it only happens if you miss court again. That is why showing up this time is so important, so you can apologize to the judge, explain why you missed the court date, and ask him not to arrest you.Good luck.
but so what are the chance that the judge put me on jail
David,I do not know, I am not your judge. But based on my experience, if you show up and you apologize, I have not seen people arrested once that happens. I have seen people get arrested if they ignore a judicial order or fail to appear in court.Good luck.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
for socrateaser only I registered for edocket. I only found 3 cases 2 with 1997 index numbers and 1 with 2004 index number. I search myself as defendant. Bank with 5 accounts was not listed which we discussed under separate cover. where judgment was 19 years ago. In one edocket 1997 index number my late wife was listed as a defendant but she was deceased for the ten prior years A collection lawyer is leaving messages on my voice mail for unspecified debt. I google the lawyer and the firm was criticized for unethical conduct. I know about the 3 edocket cases. But the absence of the large money one of 19 years is absent. Any idea?
Some detail to make sense out of wdocket below
The 2004 case involved a parent company that went into bankruptcy and one credit card account was sold to a debt buyer and with the other account the statute of limitations expired.
One 1997 case was a department store. I do not think renewal rook place
The 1997 account with my late wife is a possibility why the lawyer is phoning. But I believe that I need proof of renewal. A telephone conversation with a clever collection agent can get out of hand. I think a letter is better.
I have let Socrateaser know that your question is waiting. If I can be of further assistance let me know.

America's Next Great Restaurant: The Final Four Are Revealed!
April 17, 2011 07:10 PM by Lisa Princ
Tonight on a brand new episode of NBC's America's Next Great Restaurant the contestants will be asked to design once again and we watched as one chef ruined his restaurant's food. This week the competition grows fierce as the remaining five contestants will have to battle it out in an attempt to make the final four! Keep reading for all the details!
America's Next Great Restaurant kicked off the battle to the final four tonight with the toughest challenge yet – children! Bobby and the gang announced that the contestants must create a kid friendly, yet healthy meal as well as a toy to go with that meal, all while remaining true to their concept. Since the fast casual dining experience is extremely important to families with children, the contestants knew that they had to make this work or they could be eliminated.
Before they decided on their new menu item, the finalists were sent to a toy shop where they met with a design team to create their toy. They all came up with some pretty creative toy concepts that flowed well with their restaurants…almost all of them anyway. Stephanie created a neat little pita that could be stuffed with vegetables, while Joey created a toy that was similar to the game connect four but it contained mini meatballs and buns instead of chips. Sudhir created a coconut and when smashed open it contained a spice card defining the spice, while Jamawn's was a muffin that yelled "Soul Daddy" when it was opened and contained crayons.
The only one that did not seem to fit well was Krystal and Gregg's which was a little toy bug with no real information or purpose. But that wasn't the only issue that Krystal and Gregg were having – their chef was a whole different story. Krystal could not get their chef to agree to anything she wanted to make, and being a daycare worker for some time, Krystal knew more about kids than anyone there. When they finally decided on an item, it turned out to be a kabob in which Krystal knew was not going to go over well. But the worst part came when they had everything ready to head to restaurant row and their chef dropped half of the meals, leaving them with no time to cook anymore.
But how did the kids like the food? Bobby Flay actually brought his teen daughter Sofie with him to taste the food and give her thoughts. Everyone, including Sofie loved Joey's smashed turkey meatball sliders and his toy went over well also, although Steve thought it may be too expensive to make. Sudhir for the first time in quite a while did not impress anyone with his attempt at a healthy burger, although his toy was cute. Stephanie's pita dish went over extremely well with the children and her toy was a huge hit. Jamawn got mixed reviews on his waffle stuffed with turkey bacon and chicken, but Bobby attested that it was much healthier than one he would create at home. Gregg and Krystal's kabobs did not fare well and neither did their toy.
In the investor's suite, for the first time this season, Joey had won the challenge as he won over 50% of the coins from the families, and it came in perfect timing because he needed it after a few bad weeks. Stephanie was also safe because her food and toy were a huge hit with the families as well. Jamawn, Gregg and Krystal and Sudhir were in the bottom three tonight and when they spoke to each of them, they were not impressed by Sudhir's lack of energy to change his meal to something more kid friendly, but they saw passion in Jamawn's tears as he spoke of his children.
Gregg and Krystal, however were told that they would be leaving tonight as the investors could not get over the lack of leadership between the two of them and their chef. So with two weeks left, our final four are Joey, Jamawn, Sudhir and Stephanie – best of luck to them all! Tune in next week to see which of the contestants will make it into the finale!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and 10.0 unveiled
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 to come in 8in and 10in versions
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab 3 in two different sizes, as it confirmed it will be using Intel's Atom chips in a "top tier" Android tablet.
A report from Reuters suggested the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 would run an Atom as previously rumoured, but Samsung's press office was still trying to confirm that at the time of publishing.
The Samsung Galaxy 3 Tab 8.0 runs Android 4.2 on a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 1.5GB of RAM, and features an 1,280 x 800, 8in WXGA TFT display with 189ppi - that trails the Nexus 7's 216ppi. It features a 5-megapixel rear camera and 1.3-pixel front-facing camera.
Versions of the device will support 3G and 4G, and it comes in 16GB or 32GB models, although both contain a microSD slot. It weights 314g and is 7.4mm thick.
It's larger sibling, the Samsung Galaxy 3 Tab 10.1 also runs Android 4.2, and features a 1.6GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. It has a 3-megapixel camera - versus the smaller model's 5 megapixels - and 1,280 x 800, 149ppi WXGA TFT display.
It also comes in 3G or 4G, as well as 16GB or 32GB versions, and features a microSD slot. The larger model weighs in at 510g and is slightly thicker than the smaller model at 7.95mm.
Both tablets are loaded up with Samsung's apps and services.
The new devices will slot in alongside the previously released Samsung Galaxy 3 Tab 7.
Samsung said the Galaxy Tab 3 series will be available in the UK later this year, but didn't reveal which versions, shipping dates or prices.

At Intarcia, through the passion and commitment of our employees, we seek to leverage our technologies in drug development and delivery to provide improved therapeutic outcomes for patients and to help patients achieve a better quality of life. We develop treatments that are more conveniently administered to optimize therapeutic benefits and reduce adverse effects for chronic and life-threatening diseases. Our exclusive approach is enabled by a novel continuous subcutaneous delivery technology that allows for constant and consistent delivery of a targeted amount of drug exposure.
The field of biotechnology has paved the way for the discovery of new protein- and peptide-based therapies for chronic, debilitating and potentially life-threatening diseases. However, these treatments often require long-term therapy, frequent injections and induce side effects that may limit the treatment's therapeutic potential. Intarcia's drug development approach is unique due to our ability to stabilize macromolecules at human body temperature and to deliver them on a consistent, long-term and continuous basis, which allows for more convenient delivery of treatment. Further, should early withdrawal of therapy be required due to drug-related side effects, unlike most extended delivery formulations, Intarcia's mini pump can be quickly and safely removed decreasing drug concentrations to undetectable levels within hours.
Our integrated and experienced team of dedicated professionals has successfully developed new drugs and possesses expertise in all phases of drug development from preclinical and clinical development through regulatory and marketing approval. Currently, our drug development team is working to maximize the value of our technology by moving our therapeutic candidates through clinical trials.
Developing Products with Significant Market Potential
Intarcia strives to develop product candidates with a demonstrated potential to deliver significant therapeutic improvements over existing therapies. We focus on therapies that address significant unmet medical needs and represent large commercial opportunities. The therapies we are developing:
By targeting product candidates from proven therapeutic classes and existing safety and clinical data, our development approach allows us to mitigate risks while reducing the cost and time required for developing products. If we are able to complete product development with fewer clinical trials than are required for a new therapeutic, we may have lower development costs and shorter timelines. By delivering these product candidates with zero-order kinetics facilitated by Intarcia's mini-pump technology, we strive to deliver therapy with a truly optimized therapeutic index.
Maximizing the Potential of Intarcia's Technology Platform
Intarcia's technology allows for drug delivery with zero-order kinetics. The benefits of Intarcia's delivery systems are:
Maximizing Commercial Potential of Our Technology
Based on the anticipated validation of Intarcia's technology in the ITCA 650 type 2 diabetes program, we continue to evaluate new opportunities for novel and proprietary product candidates, with efforts focused around two areas:
To discuss opportunities, please contact our business development and licensing office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Unleashing talent to deliver disruptively innovative and life-changing medicines that transform business models, standards of care, and outcomes for patients, payers and providers.
