I think it is intelligent, sophisticated drama for intelligent, sophisticated people. I don't see it as grim at all. I see it as serious drama about serious issues. And packed with humour - the humour might be bleak, but it's still very good humour. Depressing it ain't. I get depressed by shit drama. But you do focus a lot on the bleakness of humans . Bleak is the wrong word. Challenging, maybe. It's bittersweet stuff , which I like doing. And as I say, laced with humour.
Are you obsessed with the working class?
No. I would say that isn't right - I've written about kings and queens. The fi rst thing I did, apart from Brookside, was a play about Gerard Manley Hopkins, the Jesuit poet. But I do like writing about the British working class. I saw what the intellectual left really thought of the white working class : they hated us, despised us, so I wanted to write about that.
Would you still describe yourself as working class?
I think so, yes. You can't escape the way you've been brought up. But you've got a nice house, you play golf. I play golf about twice a year and I only took it up because I was working too hard and drinking too much. It's a very workingclass game now.
Last year you described ITV drama as crap. Do you still feel that way?
I am optimistic about it at the moment . But at the time I believed what I said. At the time, if you found out there was a drama on at 9 o'clock on ITV, your heart sank. It's undeniably true, what I said, but it got me into a wee bit of hot water.
What do you think of the state of ITV now?
It's got a hell of a way to go, but [ITV chief Michael] Grade will get it there. ITV management in its crassness and its stupidity increased the supply of advertising at the point at which the price of advertising was plummeting. They ended up devaluing the advertising space, and ruining the drama. Every time you turned on a drama there was an ad in it. I have a hunch that there will be dramas written for ITV where there is only one advertising break in an hour. It's a very strong, informed hunch.
What do you think of the recent phone-vote scandal at ITV?
Everybody must have known it was happening. It is what has been apparent for a long, long time - contempt for the viewer. The [BBC's] Blue Peter thing was just sad, but ITV is far more mercenary. It's systematic. How can you fl eece your viewers ?
Let's talk about your recent play, King Cotton. Why did you write about slavery?
I wanted to tell the story of the white mill workers but you couldn't tell the story of the white mill worker unless you also told the story of the cotton fi elds, so that's what I tried to do. I have been a wage slave. I have been chained to a factory. I know what it's like to work in bloody awful factories and, having got the story and a working draft of the script, we bashed it about in rehearsal with an awful lot of intelligent black actors and I think at the end of that rehearsal period we had a story we could all be proud of. I'm always wary of that 'What right have you got to tell the story?' argument.
Was it a good idea to bring back Cracker last year?
He was of a certain time and place and we shouldn't have brought him back. I'm a granddad now, and he was a granddad too. Despite the fact that Antonia Bird did a wonderful job, as did Robbie, and John Chapman was a great producer, the fault lies with me.
Did the bad reviews hurt?
I don't read them. I phone my son and he reads them. If there is a good one, I'll go out and buy the paper, but I always avoid the bad ones. There are some critics you don't want a good review from because you don't respect them. It's the old TS Eliot line: "Fools' approval stings." I would absolve Nancy Banks-Smith because she is hugely entertaining, but the others can write and they choose to write shit

Want to get to grips with the complexities of streaming, royalties and artist deals? Sign up for the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) and Music Managers Forum's (MMF) free webinar.
The session will be presented by Annabella Coldrick, MMF chief executive, who will share the findings of the organisation's latest Dissecting the Digital Dollar publication.
The annual research paper explores rights and royalties in the digital age and what it means for creators and rightsholders.
It also outlines issues around the division of revenue in the streaming market, performers' equitable remuneration, sharing the value of digital deals, the role of collecting societies and the quality of copyright data.
Coldrick will also demonstrate the MMF's new Deals and Transparency Guides, tools to help music-makers understand and compare what deals they may be offered, so they can make an informed choice.
The webinar takes place on 18 April between 1pm and 2pm. To register, please see https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/476305527227447811


text: Hi John, I'm glad we're in agreement on nearly every point, and I'm also interested to hear the perspectives of grammar writers. Regarding the DQStrings / DocStrings, the context can disambiguate some, but not all, of these ambiguities. For the first one ( """"" a docstring """ ), this should only be valid if the docstring is one that precedes the final dot (otherwise there must be a & between "" and """): a-type := """"" a docstring """. So I don't think this one is in fact ambiguous. The latest PyDelphin, however, does not parse this correctly because it sees the first """ and commits to parsing a docstring. Parsing it correctly would require more lookahead or backtracking. It may be worth noting that it is much easier to parse if the DQString is non-empty (i.e., """" (4 "s) is not ambiguous). I'm not certain why the second example is ambiguous. It should be a docstring preceding a term which is an empty string. Inside a docstring, the first sequence of 3 unescaped double-quotes always terminates the docstring. I agree that the final example ( """""""" ) is indeed ambiguous, but the context helps sometimes: a-type := b & """""""" . ; DQString followed by a DocString a-type := """""""" & b. ; DocString followed by a DQString a-type := """"""" . ; truly ambiguous While these cases should never come up in practice, they represent an annoying gap in the TDL syntax description. Maybe we can just add a note saying that """ always starts/ends DocStrings, and if a grammar writer wants an empty DQString followed by a DocString as the final term in a top-level conjunction, they must insert a space between the two ( "" """a docstring""" ). I think this could be enforced in the description by modifying DQString to ensure an empty string is not followed by a double-quote character: DQString := ( /""(?!")/ | /"([^"\\]|\\.)+"/ ) Spacing On Mon, Oct 15, 2018 at 8:05 AM John Carroll <J.A.Carroll at sussex.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I didn't reply regarding :begin ... :end blocks because I haven't (yet) > had a chance to think about them. > > Regarding identifiers, I'm happy with your option (A1) disallow | in > identifiers.

Enjoy browsing through my new website of original handmade items. Since Oct 2011 my emphasis is on creating a variety of delightfully different inserts for all the avid artists out there. The craft industry exploded with eager hands wanting to tell their own unique story!
As Mixed Media is still a relative new art / craft, I'm devoted to supply Arts & Crafts shops with my new range of inserts and clay tiles. I also lend each shop a finished mixed media example to display with it…. for a touch of inspiration!
The Jewellery are for sale or to order in another colour or shape. Contact us for prices and orders.
If you are a Wholesaler or Retailer, please check out the Inserts and/or Jewellery pages in the Treasure Trove. Once you've submitted the Wholesale application, we'll supply you with a price list.
I included some of my earlier Mosaics, Pottery and Decoupage products, which could be discussed and made especially for you.

Superdry x Idris Elba
Superdry has collaborated with one of the coolest guys around at the minute and I get to rock one of his coats.
When I was younger and in my school years, one of the first brands I wanted to wear was Superdry. My first purchase was the windcheater jacket and I pretty much lived in it. It's the brand of my childhood and I didn't think then that I'd ever be working with them.
Now perhaps out of touch out with the brand a little, a rather exciting collaboration has allowed me to be reintroduced to the playground favourite. The new Idris Elba x Superdry collection is something that intrigued me and when asked to take a look at the new campaign it was hard to say no. With the Leading London Coat from the collection, I set my sights on a beach day, albeit a drizzly one in mid-November.
It is a premium menswear collection, made up of a rather expansive 250 pieces and is much more focused on subtle branding and even better fabrics, which for me is a good step for Superdry. Personally, with its normal ranges, the quality of material is sometimes lost behind heavy branding and to see the Idris Elba collection move away from that and focus on these basics is great.
I went for an outfit fit for the beach (in November), pretty much matching the sea in terms of tones. The navy flecked coat feels very heavy and warm and it was the dialled down details like on the shoulder and the inside pressed Idris Elba x Superdry stamps that made for nice touches. Then with a basic wool jumper and brogues combination, it was up to my scarf to inject a bit more colour.
Idris Elba may not be someone who gets seen in fashion circles and among the front row at LCM, but it seems the actor has made a collection for those that just want good quality clothing. I'll be heading over to the store tomorrow for the launch where I'll be posting some photos from my social channels. I'm sure I wasn't alone in having a soft spot for Superdry in the past?jbicon

News that Wakefield Council is to demolish and redevelop Chantry House on Kirkgate has received mixed views from you, our readers.
Wakefield Council has bought the eyesore office block with a plan to demolish it along with the derelict Snooty Fox pub.
The council said it would clear the way for up to 80 city centre homes if planning permission is granted
The former council tax and highways building – which has been empty since 2006 – is widely considered to be an eyesore by residents and businesses who say it gives a poor impression of one of the main routes into the city centre.
Full story: Chantry House to be razed for 80 new homes
Here's what you had to say:
Mark Whiteley: "Why don't they build a new indoor market and outdoor market there instead of houses?"
Ian Lawton: "Markets have had their day. Supermarkets sell fresh veg and fruit.We have to accept change in our consumer led capitalist society whether we like it or not."
Angela Wilshire: "Who wants to live next to a busy roundabout?"
Andrea Harley: "There isn't enough schools for 80 potential new families. There isn't enough hospital capacity or GP capacity. There isn't enough space! Cut it out!"
Julie Dawson: "Forget the market! Why would you shop there when there's a Wilko's, a Morrisons and numerous cheap shops within shouting distance? Who wants to live near a roundabout? All the single homeless folk we keep hearing about."
Sally Humpleby Greenough: "Don't know why some people think no one will want to live next to a roundabout. People are paying £300k plus to live on top of one in the new Strata homes at Newton Hill."
Beryl Stephenson: "If, like lots of people, you are desperate for a home you would happily live in any location. With insulation, double glazing etc the traffic noise would be minimal and the advantage of living in town would suit many. The apartments on Ings Road roundabout are a prime example."
Leanne WasRayner Speight: "Where's the new schools doctors etc going to go to cater for all the new houses been built and proposed to be built?"
Nick Shields: "Be good to know more about the finances here. Was the council still paying rent for the empty building? How much did it pay to buy? Who is going to redevelop it? For what precisely? After the mystery of the disappearing market, transparency is the order of the day! Living in the city centre is a great idea, if it was a bit quieter at night and not like living in a juke box."
Paul Walton: "Needed pulling down years ago that eyesore. Turn it either into a car park or a little garden."
Angela Wilshire: "What about something useful like an Aldi?"
Lisa Whiting: "Just what we need, more houses. Are there not enough empty as it is and new been built around Wakefield?"
Chloe Louise: "Houses? Seriously? Why can't you actually build something useful like something for kids?"
Joanne Rayner: "We are struggling for school places doctors and dentists so more people to come and live in Wakefield what we going to do then?"
Steve Firth: "Houses? With all that traffic just outside the door?!"
Daniel Williamson: "Rather see new homes than that eyesore."
Elaine Wilson Burkinshaw: "I certainly wouldn't want to live near that busy road."
Christopher Hudson: "Hope it's not rabbit hutch style flats with no gardens. More houses= more council tax=less services."
Christopher Winterburn: "They should convert what's already there. It could be done, I'm sure, but this council loves to knock things down."
Trevor Howard: "Excellent use of a city centre space, Kirkgate area has been an eyesore for far too long."
Helen Nicola: "Great, more road chaos down there."
Carol Grason: "Thank goodness, it's been an eyesore for years and when I worked in there I got a headache almost every day, it was not a nice workplace."
Paul Morris: "Selling off to make money again. Won't be much left to sell soon WMDC."
Ash Jackson: "There's loads of new mega expensive houses as well just up the road. The council should look at putting some affordable housing up themselves.".
Ben Schofield: "I'm surprised it's not being turned into a car park."

AshevilleCity - County Gov.Leslee KulbaNews Stories
City receives reports on hot topics
By Leslee Kulba
Asheville City Council received a number of reports on hot, and not-so-hot, topics Tuesday. The city's new police chief, William Anderson, spoke only briefly about progress with re-opening the evidence room. The city is still holding closed-session meetings over a lawsuit several local media outlets launched to gain access to reports of an audit ordered following the discovery of a wealth of missing evidence.
A new Property and Evidence Manager will be installed shortly, and several members of council expressed interest in touring the new evidence room. The chief also said he is pursuing permission to get rid of large amounts of old narcotics that are taking up a lot of space.
Another hot topic was the final report concerning the fire at 445 Biltmore Avenue, which claimed the life of AFD's Captain Jeff Bowen. Fire Chief Scott Burnette explained factors contributing to the misfortune included the unreasonably hot weather and indoor air-conditioning, which contributed to temperature inversions; the absence of an automatic sprinkler system; and a flat organizational structure, which overburdened a single point of control. Burnette said the department will be restructured to create intermediate point persons.
The most discussion concerned the failure of the standpipe. The building owners and the city had exceeded inspection requirements, but somebody, sometime, managed to partially close a valve, reducing the amount of water flow available from the FDC to fight the fire. As Burnette struggled to answer a question from Councilman Chris Pelly about the cause; Cecil Bothwell piped up. He said he could be more blunt than the chief. The cause of fire was arson, and it isn't too much a stretch of the imagination to assume that whoever wanted the building to burn would have been the guilty party.
The city's economic report was good, as it has been for the last several years. By contrast, the crime report showed intentional damage to persons and property was on the rise. Assistant City Manager Jeff Richardson said he was proud of the report because the increases were not as marked as they are in other parts of the state. In fourth-quarter comparisons with last year, the city saw robberies and aggravated assaults climb a few percentage points, while the number of rapes went from 6 to 11; and homicides, from 0 to 4. Larcenies increased from 614 to 983. Trends were not that different for the entire fiscal years.
To fight crime, council voted unanimously to partner with the Housing Authority of the City of Asheville to set up a dedicated public housing patrol. Currently, the housing authority contracts with a private security company, hires off-duty officers from the Asheville Police Department and Buncombe County Sheriff's Department, and still relies on on-duty police officers.
The new detail would consist of five new officers funded with a US Department of Justice COPS grant procured a year ago. The grant, like many the city has accepted, is structured so the federal government picks up the salaries and benefits of officers at first, but slowly transfers the cost to the hiring jurisdiction. For the first three years, the city will only cover the cost of uniforms and equipment, which is expected to run around $27,600. In addition to the five officers, the housing authority would give the city $217,000 to hire another four officers. Leadership would be pulled from talent already on the police force.
A few members of the public expressed dissatisfaction that the city was nurturing uncivil behavior. If people could not honor and obey the law and respect their neighbors, why was government rewarding them with free housing and other perks? Deputy Director David Nash explained that when tenants are convicted of crimes, the housing authority issues them a three-day notice to quit the premises. Councilmen Gordon Smith and Cecil Bothwell contributed that those profiting off the drug trade exploit the dejection and underground economies in concentrations of poverty; and wealthy people get their fixes through the free trade in the public housing markets.
Among other accomplishments, the city boasted giving economic development incentives to New Belgium Brewery ($2.1 million) and Linamar ($1 million), and its intention to add Plasticard Loctech to the list of recipients. Meanwhile, the city received a Tiger II Planning Grant and HUD funds for affordable housing projects, including work with the Reid Center. The city now owns one of only two electric police vehicles in operation in the country. It is charged at the new station in the parking lot of the city's DPW building on South Charlotte Street.
The unsung hero Tuesday was the city's IT Department. The staff report applauded the department's efficiency, noting "In fiscal year 2012, spending per employee averaged $3,850 in North Carolina, compared to Asheville's $2,136. Savings and cost avoidance [exceeded] $200,000 in fiscal year 2012." The city saved an additional amount when staff members wrote the interface for the new BTIP system.

Funko, you've outdone yourselves this time.
Funko just announced that it's doing a line of its popular Pop! figures of characters from Jurassic Park for the film's 25th anniversary. And they are all pretty cool. But really, it's all about this.
All images: Funko
Yup. That's a Target (a large US retailer) exclusive Pop of Jeff Goldblum's Dr Ian Malcolm in his iconic, post T-rex encounter, sexy pose. Here's a photo for reference because we want to make your day that bit brighter:
Image: Universal Pictures
And there are others characters coming too, all of which will be available in February. Here they are.
That Nedry set is an Entertainment Earth exclusive, by the way.
And as good as the sexy Ian Malcolm Pop is, it's criminal that there's no Pop for Dr. Ellie Sattler, played by Laura Dern. There are images out on the web of her but no mention in the official release. However, the Funko Twitter account has assured fans she's coming.
For more on the Jurassic Park Pops, visit the below link.
Here's hoping folk in the UK eventually get the chance to buy the sexy chaotician.

Ubisoft will be focusing on the "ground gameplay that fans are familiar with".
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 04th, Aug. 2013 Under News
As the story goes, there wasn't a whole lot everyone liked about Assassin's Creed III, but fans were in agreement that the naval battles were far and away the best part of the game. Now with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag focusing solely on the naval part (though Ubisoft Montreal maintains that the ratio between ground and naval combat is 60/40), there has been a measured amount of enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, despite the increased important of naval combat, it's unlikely that you'll be able to engage in the same in multiplayer. Speaking to MMGN, senior producer Hugues Ricour stated that, "The multiplayer is focusing on the ground gameplay that fans are familiar with. The team has come up with tons of new ideas, such as at E3 when we showcased a mode where you can customise your own way of playing, and the reception is really strong, so that's where the focus is for this year."
At least the multiplayer throughout all the games has been stellar. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is set to release on October 29th for Xbox 360, Wii U and PS3 with PC, Xbox One and PS4 releases set for Q4 2013.

However, we do make up selected pieces in advance, ready for immediate shipment. These pieces are first quality and are unconditionally guaranteed.
What we call bedrooms, the Shakers called "retiring rooms". At the Great Stone Dwelling in Enfield, N.H. Shaker community - where this piece originated - each retiring room accommodated as many as four Shakers. Aside from the beds, the rooms contained only a rocker, a table like this one, one or two candlestands, a hanging sconce, and perhaps a mirror. The design of this piece is typical of the refined work of the Enfield Shakers. The original is in a private collection. We make the Enfield Night Table in clear hard maple, with a drawer interior of pine. Height is 25 3/4". Top measures 22 1/2" wide x 15 3/8" deep.

I Caught A Cold And Became A Stormbound Addict
Don't do what I did. I am begging you. Heed my sage advice. Here's my sad tale. I had a cold for four days. Forcing me to cancel guitar lessons for three days. Leading to the daunting future tasks of making up those lessons and shaving off five or six days worth of mostly gray beard. But I am past the worst of it and feeling better.
The real problem is, I fell victim to technology. In days gone by when I had a bad cold, I would mostly sleep, read, or watch television. Now that I have portable "electronic devices" my options are far greater. Knowing I needed to avoid Facebook for sanity's sake, I decided to try some new mobile video games. The "Game Of The Day" on the Apple iOS App Store was Stormbound. A strategy game. It was free, so I decided to try it.
Mistake. I am now fully addicted and am seeking a support group. If you value your life and don't want to end up on the couch in sweatpants, unbathed, eating junk food, and telling yourself "just one more game", do not download this game. If you are old enough to remember the computer game Archon, which was sort of like chess except that the pieces actually fought, it is like a mix of that - with way better graphics (sort of like the mobile game Monument - that one is alright to play. It has an ending.) and far more pieces (cards) to play. It is different every time you play, and you play against real opponents.
Don't be like me. Stay away. If you don't, and you get defeated in a beautiful display of amazingly strategic gameplay by MARKS2315, hey, I warned you. - Mark (the slightly sick mobile game addict) Starlin

Happy Monday Lovelies! I am dreading going to work tomorrow, I have enjoyed my days off. Another week at the Funny Farm. I hope everyone has had a wonderful Monday.

Loving the fact that it is the Holiday Season, my favorite time of the year!
Writing this post. That is about it. Sorry ya'll I am kind of boring this week.

The following is a portion of a post written by a divorced father to other fathers who are on the verge of walking out on their children because of a bad marriage:
Over the past twelve years I've learned being a part-time dad is not enough. Our children always need more. That is why I want to address a specific, narrow audience with the rest of this post. I want to address those fathers who are on the verge of leaving their families.
I want to start with a basic premise: When your first child is born, your life stops being about what you want and starts being about what they need. If you disagree, then you can stop reading now. The rest of what I say will only make sense to those who understand that this is the foundation of fatherhood.
The problem, of course, is not with your kids but with your wife. You may be having a tough time in your marriage. You may be thinking that you no longer love or can live with your wife. You may believe that divorce is the only remaining option. I don't know your situation. I won't pretend to be able to understand what you are going through. I only know this: you're children need you at home. Your sons and your daughters need your presence. Real fathers don't leave their children
I'm fully aware of how unpopular such a claim will be. Our society tells us that you shouldn't "stay together just for the kids." Our culture tells us that progress has made fatherhood a vestigial artifact. Our hearts tell us that we deserve to pursue our own bliss.
Such an unpopular sentiment bears repeating: When your first child is born, you're life stops being about what you want and starts being about what they need. They need you at home. If you're a man and aspire to being a dad, that is all you need to know.
If your wife is physically abusive to you and the children then you need to get out -- and take them with you. Otherwise you stick it out. If you have to stay in your marriage for one year or for eighteen, you stick it out.
What do you do if you're wife wants a divorce? You beg her to stay. You change what you have to change. You use guilt if necessary to get her to "think about what is best for the kids." If nothing else works, then you ask her to commit to six months of marital counseling before she files for divorce. If at the end of the six months she's still resolved to end the marriage you ask for another six months. You keep asking for as long as it takes. You may lose the fight eventually but if you're a man you will not give up on your family until you are bloodied and broken.
Don't kid yourself that your divorce will be different because you have a good relationship with your children's mother. My ex-wife has become a dear friend and a superb partner in parenting. Despite the peculiar circumstance which ended our marriage, I couldn't ask for a more thoughtful, accommodating woman to be my former spouse. But as hard as we work to make it easier on our daughter, everything we can do is not enough. At the end of the day, my child lives in a house where one of her parents is missing. Divorce doesn't just end a marriage, it ends a family.
By now I've lost almost everyone who has followed me this far. Most people will roll their eyes at my naiveté or skulk off to write about my idiocy. So be it. My hope is that there is at least one father left--just one--who will seriously consider what I'm saying. I hope that he will go into his child's room tonight and watch them while they sleep. I hope that he will think about what it means to his babies that he is there for them when they go to bed and that he is there for them when they wake up. Finally, I hope he'll realize he has the power to retain a precious gift that we visiting fathers have lost and that we can never get back. He still has the the opportunity to be a good father.

Alcohol and Compazine
Compazine and alcohol may potentially be a dangerous combination. It is generally recommended that people with mental illnesses -- such as those that Compazine is commonly used to treat -- avoid drinking alcohol. Compazine side effects, such as drowsiness or low blood pressure, may be more likely to occur if you drink alcohol while taking the medication.
According to the Compazine® (prochlorperazine maleate) prescription information, drinking alcohol while on Compazine is not recommended. Combining alcohol and Compazine can increase the chances and severity of several Compazine side effects. Additionally, for many people with mental illness, it is usually recommended that alcohol be avoided.
Drinking alcohol may increase your risk of certain Compazine side effects, such as drowsiness or low blood pressure (when sitting or standing up). You may also be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol if you are taking Compazine. You may not be able to safely drink as much alcohol as you were used to drinking in the past.
Compazine is approved to treat schizophrenia, anxiety, or severe nausea and vomiting. Generally, it is best for people with mental illnesses to avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol may worsen mental illness and is often a form of "self-medication."
Although it is not recommended that you drink alcohol while taking Compazine, you should not be afraid to discuss your alcohol consumption with your healthcare provider. Together, you and your healthcare provider can make a shared decision about Compazine and alcohol for your particular situation. If you do drink, your healthcare provider can also suggest ways to help you stop drinking.

Contrary to popular belief, Christopher didn't do a dime in Joliet for armed robbery. He's also not at the Pizza Hut, so you can't find him there, so don't even look.
Shawn, however, did apparently smuggle meth in his bloodstream at some point, if his mug shot is any indication.

(That's a lie!)
We are "rebranding" to TrumpCast...an all-Trump, all the time podcast!
(That's a lie, too!)
We're liars, all right!
So...listen to us talk about lying for twelve hours!
(Or maybe an hour and change...)
(Damn Gorillamen liarheads! PANTS ON FIRE!!!)
(HATE those guys!)
Oh, but this is not a lie...you've heard us mention Curtis Hart many times on the show...perhaps, most notably, on the religion episode.
Well...his mighty-assed son had a medical setback. And, if it's in your heart to help out, you can...
On to the show...
* * *
We start with the first lies we remember hearing...and the first lies we ever told. After that, we go there: "Were you ever a habitual liar?" (Oh, Christopher...you sad, sad thing...) And then, find out the most outrageous lies we ever told.
But the past is the past: find out if we still lie today? (And why we might have stopped.)
We chat about why we think people lie...before talking about if we've ever been manipulated by lies. (Oh, Christopher...you poor, dear lad. Holy shit, that is TRAGIC!!!)
Hey, it's the day Cohen turned on Trump and Monafort went down on eight guilty counts (with more to [probably] come). So...how dangerous is it having a president who lies daily? (Yeah, we go there!)
After talking about the Circus-Peanut-Colored shit-lord of a president, we ask this simple question: Is it ever okay to lie?
Like it or not, there's a line between tiny lies many tell and BIG lies. We discuss where that line is, and then ask if society conditions people to lie...even a little bit.
And we wrap it all up with what advice we'd give to someone who lies a lot...
(Share YOUR lies in the comments below...)
(We believe you...)

Before recording the Cruelty episode, the Gorillamen babbled as they often do.

In honor of our 250th episode of Men in Gorilla Suits, we get happy...and talk about cruelty.
Of course, we try making the show fun -- and it's still a bit lighthearted for such a potentially dark topic -- but much of the humor comes from acknowledging what a dark subject it is this time around.
But hey, you get to find out the cruelest things the Gorillamen have done to other people, and we do address ways of dealing with and preventing cruelty. So there's that...
Obviously, this episode also gets a bit political...'cause, ya know...separating kids from their parents and not reuniting them is cruel.
You've been warned...
* * *
We kick it all off with the first time somebody did something cruel to us. Then we move on to whether or not we've ever done anything cruel to someone else...and why. (Please don't fear us!)
After all that, we chat about the cruelest things we've seen lately, and answer this question: is cruelty on the rise?
We talk about the Internet's role in modern cruelty -- and if cruelty and stupidity are linked.
We get a little more chipper when talking about the least cruel people we know, so there's that. And then we discuss why cruelty is more heinous than ordinary meanness.
And we wrap it all up with these two questions:
But seriously, as dismal as the topic for our 250th episode is, it still has some very funny moments. Also, as we hit a fairly big milestone with this episode, if all you've ever listened to is this episode and are then like, "Fuck those gorilla guys -- they suck!" thank you for your time. Many podcasts never see episode 25, so we appreciate anyone who's listened to any of our 250 episodes...

"Middle class," a term as much aspirational as descriptive, may end up as a linguistic flash in the pan.
Most often used today to describe America's backbone, politicians now seem wary of the term for that fluid group of people who are not poor but not truly rich. The phrase has become laden with a feeling of anxiety of not being able to get into that group, falling out of it or never climbing beyond it.
But its popularity among major American politicians is of recent vintage, even though its first use dates back almost 200 years and across the Atlantic. Politicians have used other phrases. Franklin Delano Roosevelt referred to the "forgotten man" as he tried to pull the country out of the Great Depression. Richard Nixon's term for the angry but uncomplaining middle class was "the silent majority."
"Middle class" was first mentioned in an acceptance speech by a presidential nominee by William Howard Taft, in 1908, but the phrase was not uttered again in another major party nomination acceptance address until 1984. And, no, it wasn't spoken by Ronald Reagan.
His Democratic opponent uttered the phrase. Walter Mondale used it to criticize Mr. Reagan's economic policies. "Four years ago, many of you voted for Mr. Reagan because he promised you'd be better off," Mr. Mondale said. "And today, the rich are better off. But working Americans are worse off, and the middle class is standing on a trap door."
George H.W. Bush used the phrase in a nomination speech, in 1992, although his opponent, Bill Clinton, proclaimed himself its champion: "I am a product of that middle class, and when I am president, you will be forgotten no more." (Mr. Bush and Mr. Mondale lost their elections, as did Mitt Romney, who used the phrase in 2012). The phrase also appears only recently in presidential inaugural addresses; Mr. Clinton was the first to use it, in 1997.
The politicians' use of it reflects the same slow acceptance of it among the American population. (Indeed, the 1929 seminal sociological study of a middle-American town, "Middletown," used the terms "working class" and "business class.")
According to Chronicle, a New York Times site that tracks word usage in The Times, before 1960, the phrases "middle class" and "working class" appeared at roughly the same rate, which was rarely. When it did, it was often with a specific description in contrast to the wealthy and very poor. An 1877 article from Montgomery, Ala., about how the Civil War had dramatically improved the conditions for a particular group of men opened with: "Before the war there existed here a small middle class that were poor men, but were above the 'poor whites.' "
A 1927 article in The Times featured a city official warning that Manhattan had "plenty of high-priced apartments" but "an acute shortage of homes for the middle class."
Most dictionaries define "middle class" to mean the people between the upper classes and working class, said Michael Adams, a professor at Indiana University and historian of the English language, in an email. But its use has expanded over time to include people who previously might have been labeled "working class."
"When Americans use middle class today, they have something wider in mind, including people we would consider workers," Mr. Adams said. Even though that's at odds with many dictionary definitions, he has no problem with that. "I'm one of those lexicographers who believes middle class or any word means what people use it to mean. The dictionaries will have to catch up with middle class speakers before 'the middle class' — whatever that is — disappears."
As the baby boomer generation began to hit their teenage years in the early 1960s, "middle class" began to appear much more often in the newspaper, according to Chronicle. A front-page article on Dec. 26, 1967, reported that Mayor John Lindsay of New York City said "he believed that the middle class would not desert New York," while several stories that year mentioned the middle class in the context of racial integration.
The social upheavals of the 1960s arrived with expansions in technology and consumerism, putting college educations, entertainment and more products within the reach of a growing population. In The Times, the phrase "middle class" went from appearing in about 0.2 percent of all articles in 1963 to 1 percent of all articles in 1973, which may seem like a small increase but isn't. The Times has also increased its usage of "working class" and "working families" since the 1960s, but neither was used on the scale of "middle class."
Google's Ngram Viewer, which shows the usage of words and phrases in books that Google has indexed, also shows a steady rise in the appearance of "middle class" but has it beginning earlier and then peaking during the 1970s.
The phrase has been used more often in The Times this year; it has appeared in 1.7 percent of articles so far. It was used in 1.4 percent of articles last year, including a popular one in which The Upshot wrote that the American middle class was no longer the world's richest. (The Canadians won that title.)
Perhaps now that Americans are no longer No. 1, they will feel even less compelled to use the term.

It's Friday on the internet.
Instead of working, studying, or otherwise being productive, thousands of people tuned into a Facebook Live stream of a giant foam blob in Santa Clara, California.
An apparent drought of news brought several reporters to the scene of the blob, which appears to have inundated a street near an airport.
KTVU reported that the foam blob was deeper than 5 feet in some areas.
Police showed up to the scene around 3 p.m. Central time.
A small group then appeared at the edge of the blob and began taking photos.
The depth of the foam blob did not deter at least one brave soul. A man was immediately surrounded by reporters after emerging from the foam on a bicycle.
KTVU reports that several business entrances were blocked by the blob, and several cars were completely covered. A witness told KTVU that the foam is some kind of fire retardant.
Happy Friday.

Europe is entangled in a war to the death against a relentless enemy out to destroy its precious Christian heritage and bury its liberty. Radical Islam is on the march, manned by tens of millions of immigrants with multiple wives and a massive birthrate. At the same time, most native Europeans have left the Christian faith and fewer and fewer are marrying or having children. The future seems bleak. What are the known weapons against such a foe? One is the free press which can expose the enemies of liberty. Another is the use of intelligence to rat out terror cells before they act. And when all else fails, there is always the reversion to mass warfare using superior weaponry to kill millions and hopefully break the will of the enemy. However, these weapons are not sufficient to hold back the tide of Jihad which has been at war with Christianity since the seventh century. There is only one weapon that can defeat the forces of a pagan ideology, whether Nazism, Communism or radical Islam. That weapon is biblical faith. The writer of Hebrews defines this weapon in Hebrews 11. "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen." Chapter 11 goes on to detail how this weapon was used by great heroes who by faith, "subdued kingdoms, brought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness became strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens." Now that is a powerful weapon.
The examples below of three European Christians in the 20th century illustrate the power of the weapon of faith. These men arose at times of great crisis in Europe. Eric Liddell in the 1920s; Winston Churchill in the 1940s; and Christian Fuhrer in the 1980s.

Why do people discriminate against speakers with foreign accents?
Listening to someone speaking with a foreign accent makes human brains work harder which can lead to unintentional discrimination against people communicating in languages other than their own, new research suggests. But exposure to foreign accents can also change the way people speak, and over time, the ensuing accents can become new languages. While most … Read more

K I know what you're thinking. WTF is a muffcake? Well I made these zucchini bread muffins, but then topped them with cream cheese frosting, so they bear the resemblance of cupcakes… so… muffcakes?Read More
Passionfruit Lavender Cheesecake
I've been wanting to make cheesecake for a while, but I didn't want to make a giant cheesecake, and I was having trouble finding smaller springform pans, so the idea just lingered in my mind like the one orange in the bag covered in mold that makes you not want to eat any of the other oranges. But, I finally found 4-inch springform pans, and so am now uninhibited in the realm of cheesecake, or so I thought. Alas, I think it was not a hardware issue that was keeping me from making this next culinary endeavor; I think I was afraid because I had no experience with setting dairy-based batters. People make cheesecake and it has this perfect un-cracked surface that seemed so unattainable. Whatever though, I like cracks more, so I decided I was really just being a baby, and so I took the leap and bought some cream cheese.Read More
Potato Pizza Tart
I had leftover potatoes, and any recipe I've ever used that calls for tomato paste only calls for 1 or 2 Tbsp, so I had like 3 half-used cans of it. What could I do other than obviously just add butter and make pies?Read More
Sweet Potato and Brie Gratin Galette
Have you ever wanted to straight up destroy your body? It happens to me all the time, for any number of reasons. Perhaps I had a good day at work and I feel like I deserve a little gluttony. Maybe I had a bad day at work and just want to die. Either way, I usually end up eating a dinner made up of at least 75% butter. Sometimes (all the time), it's just what I need, and this meal is perfect for it.Read More

Alright everyone! I'm back in America and fully back in the swing of things when it comes to the kitchen. I got the stomach flu while I was in Taiwan, and lost a ton of weight, so I'm carb-ing up in earnest up in here. That means you can expect a lot of pasta in the near future. This one is similar to my last post, yet so different at the same time.Read More

All the Textures of the Strawberry
I just felt like doing something fancy, ok?? Then again, I also never want to get out of my pajama pants, or even out of bed for that matter. The result? I made this decadent craziness and drank wine out of jars with ice cubes in it for like 4 hours, and then passed out after watching an entire season of Preacher. It was my favorite kind of day.Read More
Fish Fragrant Eggplant (魚香茄子)
I've always been super afraid of cooking this dish because it really is so good when done right, and it can be completely overcooked or greasy or slimy if done wrong. Also, my mother in-law will not hesitate even for a second to tell me I completely ruined the cuisine of her motherland. That being said, when she showed me how it was done, I couldn't even believe how simple it was!Read More
Strawberry Basil Gelato

Irish Soda Bread
Every single Irish person I know, and I grew up in Boston, so I know a lot of "Irish" people, has told me that true Irish soda bread contains no fruit. They are extremely adamant on this point. BUT, I distinctly remembered seeing fruit in soda bread on Great British Baking Show, so I was like WHA???Read More
Honeycomb Parfait
It's really the honeycomb on top of this beautifully creamy confection that keeps you going in for more. They are like little jewels of happiness sprinkled throughout the dish. They give it this sweet, lingering crunch.... it just rounds out the dish and fills your mind with a sense of long forgotten completeness. The most important part of making this honeycomb is reading the entire recipe before starting, so get your readers on and enjoy!Read More

Chocolate Stout Cake with Orange Curd

Potato Gnocchi Korma?
I was wondering out loud to my wife the other day about why most countries center their cuisine around rice, bread and noodles, but India doesn't? China uses both rice as well as noodles as a base for most meals, and serves dishes alongside fried or steamed buns. Italy has risotto and pasta as well as a plethora of baked breads. Mexico, no wait, Persia, um no... Ethiopia?.... ok now that I'm considering this in more detail I can actually think of a lot of cultures that don't incorporate noodles into their cuisine. But whatever, I had obviously not been thinking very deeply when I conceived this dish. Anyway, conceive it i did: potatoes in curry, but with gnocchi instead of potatoes!Read More

Senator Dino Melaye, now a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, member, has on Thursday, cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari, informing him that the National Assembly is not a department in the Presidency.
Senator Melaye noted this in a statement in Abuja, in reaction to President Buhari's remarks when signing the 2018 Appropriation Bill, on Wednesday.
Senator Melaye expressed concern that Buhari's comments indicated that the Legislators padded the budget.
"I notice that the President is trying to whip up sentiments against the National Assembly again, by alleging that the 2018 budget was padded.
"What the President is authorised to do constitutionally, is to present the National Assembly with a Bill; a Bill is a work-in-progress and not the finished work.
"The reason the Constitution directs the Bill to be submitted to the National Assembly, is that it expects the National Assembly to vet it and make inputs, before passing it in readiness for the Appropriation Act.
"The National Assembly is not expected to rubber stamp whatever Bill the President presents.
"If this was the norm, there would have been no need for the Constitution to direct that the Bill should be submitted to the National Assembly in the first place", he said.
The Lawmaker, added that the President reserved the right not to append his signature, if he was not convinced of what the Legislature did as an Institution.

Seven Social Capital Building Blocks
"Personally, I consider the social leg to be the most critical, as I'm unconvinced that we'll ever be able to effectively handle the challenges of the other two - especially at the local level in times of turmoil and change - in the absence of the rich social networks that used to define us."
"Get reconnected first. Then save the planet and the economy."
Scott Doyon goes on to answer the municipal question: "Where do we start" with seven steps that include:
- Good governance (aka trust)
- Walkable, connected, mixed-use character
- Parks and gardens (and who manages them)
- Partnerships (businesses, institutions, nonprofits, associations, advocates, residents)
- Programming
- Neighborhood-responsive schools
- Tree culture
Plus, he's asking us to add to the list.
