A day later. On Punk Planet.
I had time to think about it, and I didn't get into reading the many eulogies or blog posts that I'm sure exist for this fallen magazine. It's been 13 years for them, and actually the same for us as well, and I do know their magazine will be missed tremendously. It seems like they fit well into the world of indie publishing. They've probably won a few awards at the hands of UTNE reader. If you go into any indie record store, and many mainstream ones as well, you'll see their magazine with that special look that they created. Punk Planet was more than just a music magazine, that seemed like the last bit important about them. They covered the rest of a punk rocker's life, from politics to design to finances, and that's something most music magazines won't touch. Unfortunately, the last one, finances is what ultimately ended this publication.
The same distributor we used, Indypress, AKA Bigtop, went under leaving PP in a world of debt, and believe it or not, left us in a quandary as well. (This isn't about us, and I seriously doubt people would give that much care if we ceased to exist as compared to PP) The debt of a distributor going down and not paying for perhaps 3 issues is huge, it's over a year's salary for most people, and where's that money going to mysteriously appear? You're pretty much fucked, and that's what happened. It's a shame that the demise of a magazine isn't from shitty journalism, but it's from the business of distribution - the part that's largely out of a publisher's control if you're a newsstand magazine.
The next parts that I'm sure helped their end, is the huge amount of crap online. There's so much, that people are reading less in print, and just taking quick looks at blogs, and "tidbits" of information here and there. Are print mags actually in trouble as a whole? Ads are going the way of the internet more recently since the technology of online advertising has improved as has internet video and tv type of content. Maybe that's another culprit. It's not lack of funds by the readers, that's for sure, since everyone seems to have enough to buy a beer or a boba, which is just about the cost of a magazine.
So, I lied, this will be a little about GR, since I'm now thinking about our situation. Imagine, GR with no stores or restaurant - just a magazine. Are we in the greatest shape ever? Probably not. Is advertising in print down? Maybe some. Are subscriptions up or down. Maybe a bit down. So what's going to happen here? What can we do to prevent ourselves from being the next Clamor mag or Punk Planet?
I'm not sure if I have any answers to this, except I feel good about making a magazine, and I do feel that our work is important to continue at all costs, even in the face of a climate that's less nice to print publications. Our future is a long one. That's the plan, and as I tell a lot of folks, the stores are like our branches, our customers the leaves, but the magazine, that's the heart. Will our own readers rally for us if we need? Will we ever ask for anything? Who knows...
With all this, PP is a highly influential magazine that'll go down in punk rock history as being an important publication. In a climate that once filled with punk zines, MRR, and Flipside, PP gave yet another strong voice to a musical movement turned lifestyle, that will always continue.
Punk Planet

If Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader can run for president, why not Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong? With the release of the band's new album, Warning, a little over a month away, Armstrong has donned a black suit and red tie and hit the campaign trail with a his own clichT-ridden political advertisement on the Reprise Records Web site (www.repriserec.com/gdpromo/green.ram).
The streaming minute-long clip, billed as "a public service announcement for the youth of America," features Armstrong sporting a hardhat while he presses the flesh with construction workers and school children, poses with his dog and sits on a park bench with his wife (played by drummer Tre Cool in drag). The camera also shows Armstrong sharing a power shake with his running mate, bassist Mike Dirnt. In the background, a voiceover touts Armstrong as "a leader with a flair for leadership and the ability to lead," with "drive, determination and stick-to-it-iveness." His campaign slogan? "Burning a Bridge to the 21st Century."
Directly following the pro-Armstrong clip is an anti-Armstrong smear ad, asking, "What do you really know about Billie Joe Armstrong? Did you know that he's a dick? And that he has a really ugly wife?"
All kidding aside, though, Armstrong says that Warning (out Oct. 3) doesn't necessarily offer up too much in the way of political commentary, though some of the songs do tackle topical concerns. "I'm not really much of a politician," says the singer, "but a song like 'Warning' is . . . it's just sort of how like there's always these warning labels -- 'don't cross these lines,' 'don't do this,' 'don't do that,' -- and how it can become really suffocating. I hate being told what I can and can't do. Pretty soon we're not going to be doing anything and all of us are going to be ordering our groceries through the Internet."
Armstrong says the idea for another song, "Fashion Victim," sprang out of a shirt Tre Cool sported that was riddled with bullet holes and bore the legend, "Versace Fashion Victim #1."
"I just started coming up with lyrics about fashion victims, and how you're supposed to have the perfect body to fit these perfect clothes and you go into these stores and there's these clothes that were designed for eleven-year-old Japanese girls," says Armstrong. "It's been part of our society the whole time, but now I think it's sort of escalated into where fashion models are donating their eggs for $20,000 a pop so that you can make these perfect human beings. To me, that is sort of parallel to Hitler's perfect society."

NFL Championship Picks 2013
As we quickly head into the 2013 AFC and NFC Championship Games, only four teams remain in the race to find the NFL Championship picks 2013.
In the AFC, the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens will battle it out for a chance to earn a trip to the Big Easy on February 3rd 2013. This will be a battle between two teams that know each other very well. The rivalry between Tom Brady and Ray Lewis will certainly go down as one of the best in NFL history.
Last year around this time, the Pats eliminated the Ravens on their way to Super Bowl XLVI. With a slim three-point lead in the final seconds of the game, Billy Cundiff, now kicker for the Washington Redskins, missed a 32-yard gimme that would have sent the game into overtime.
Can the Ravens avenge that heartbreaking loss and get one step closer to sending their longtime defensive leader off into the sunset with a ring?
According to the most recent NFL betting odds, opening lines have the Patriots listed as 9-point favorites over the Ravens and the OVER/UNDER equals 51 points. This game kicks off Sunday evening at 6:30 PM ET on CBS Sports.
In the National Football Conference, the top two seeds have made it all the way to the doorstep of the Super Bowl. Which team will be the winning NFL championship picks 2013? Will it be the defensive minded, high-flying San Francisco 49ers, or will one of the most consistent teams this season in the Atlanta Falcons get the nod?
For starters, this NFC Championship game is scheduled to kickoff Sunday afternoon at 3 PM ET on FOX. According to the opening lines for this game, the Niners will travel to the Georgia Dome listed as -3.5 betting favorites over the hosting Falcons (+3.5)… yes, the 49ers are favored despite being on the road and the OVER/UNDER for this game is set at a combined total of 48.5 points.
Sign up to receive NFL expert picks from some of the best minds in football, and as always, the best way to keep up with all the NFL betting odds is to stay connected to SPORTSBOOK!
OSH Free NFL Championship Picks 2013: Although I do believe that the Pats will advance to their second straight Super Bowl, based on the lines I have to take Baltimore Ravens (+9) in the AFC Championship Game against the spread. In the NFC finale, I believe that the Atlanta Falcons (+3.5) will do enough to either stun the Niners or at worst lose with some dignity.

Chapter 1: The Exodar
Chapter 2: Darnassus
Chapter 3: Stormwind
Chapter 4: Ironforge
Greetings, dear reader, and welcome to the newest edition of Nomnom – Traveller's guide which has been shocking, frustrating and driving tourists insane for the last six years! Now with updates maps, charts, screenshots, menus and coffee stains, the crew behind making this guide is 74% sure that you will be very satisfied with its features, which can be compared to those of a scribbled-in-a-hurry fortune cookie note!
Now, without further boring reading, let's see what we have prepared for this edition!
Our journey starts in Exodar…
Chapter 1: The Exodar
Magnificent. Majestic. Crashed.
Exodar has many faces. This ship-city has two main entrances, one on the east side and one on the west side of the city's dome. Before we enter, you might want to acknowledge the existence of Torallius the Pack Handler, Exodar's official Elekk vendor and Aalun, the sexy riding trainer. Now, I would highly recommend entering the city through the east entrance, because it leads you through the scenic path which includes gamma-ray lightning bursts (personal grounded plasma shield recommended), insecure or non-existent handrails and collapsing floor cracks (chances of getting a bad case of dead are almost only 65%!), all the way down into the Seat of The Naaru (and maybe just as important – next to the famous Exodar inn , where the friendly caregiver Breel shall welcome you with open hands and offer you a glass of that famous Filtered Draenei Water).
As we get to the bottom of the stairs, the first thing you will notice is a circular road around the Seat of The Naaru (= a bunch of purple crystals which everyone hopes won't explode). Along the way you can find Exodar Bank and Exodar Auction House, north-west and south-west, respectively, as well as Hero's Call Board in the middle.
If you look to your right, you will see an opening – a vast hall, full of mysterious, mythical and mighty, the legendary Crystal Hall of Exodar.
Seer Skaltesh shall offer you Elemental Sapta if you talk to him – a powerful potion (…actually made from ordinary water and a bit of engine oil but hey, it's free so who cares!) that will allow you to see the elemental beings all around the hall. Or at least hallucinate that they are there. Either way, you might offend the locals if you try to take one with you as a souvenir so it'd be best just to buy a fluffy one in one of the shops in Trader's Tier. The most important figures in this part of Exodar are the numerous Shaman trainers, along with First Aid, Jewelcrafting, Inscription and Enchanting ones, in addition to the Fishing trainer behind the shrine of Sulaa, one of the shaman trainers. Other interesting attractions for tourists in here are the Exodar Moth Trainer (which is, honestly, the only place worth visiting if you don't have a moth pet yet! The blue one is so cute!) and numerous training dummies, for tourists of all ages, colours, sizes and heights.
After visiting the Crystal Hall, we are going to walk into the next hall, south of it – The Vault of Lights. One of the first thing that you shall notice here –no, it is not the tall, good-looking Draenei Peacekeepers with rippling muscles that everyone seems to be staring at… we'll get to those later, but it is the distinguished Exodar Purple Monster Museum!
With over 5 2 visitors every year, in this museum can be seen many eye-burning evil-looking razor-saw-slicing monstrosities, sculptors of which you can see walking around in a group. For safety reasons, it would be best not to approach them without suitable protection (such as an instant hearthstone).
Lastly, if you find yourself interested in Archaeology, you can always talk to Diya, the nice female Draenei in the middle of the hall who will be more than glad to teach you all the new methods of digging through dust. If we look to the right, we can see Exodar's most famous celebrity – Prophet Velen with his bodyguards.
Rumor has it that lately he has been working on his newest movie called ''Star Chores: A New Soap'', which should come out any millennium now! Across the hall from him, Paladin, Priest and Mage trainers can be found, as well as Alchemy supplies and Portal Trainer, in addition to the portal to Blasted Lands which is open 28/7 (for exact locations and names, please look at appendix 54e). If you are interested in Herbs, this is where you can find an expert in that field, right next to the stairs that lead to Velen.
As we enter the Trader's Tier, tourists' favorite place, we can already feel the crowded atmosphere that is an everyday thing, consisting of not one, not three, not seventy-five, but two(2!) Exodar Peacekeepers that walk through the hall every so often. To the left we can notice Guild and Tabard Vendor, as well as the Guild Master. Right up the stairs to the right, we can see Hunter trainers standing in their cubicle-like big-brown-curved-wall-like-structure that no one knows the name of so they call it a sanctum. Up the stairs from there, Warrior trainers can be found in their own sanctum.
As we move on, famous Exodar Engineers can be seen, ready to train any willing enthusiast who would like to learn about all the new and modern ways to blow up the world!... or at least themselves, anyhow. Next to them you can find Mining and Smithing trainers, or, if you are into leather (/wink), nearby you can find Leatherworking and Skinning trainers, as well as a Tailoring one.
I think this is a suitable time to mention that Horde factions sometimes find Velen's talent too threatening and make a kill squad to try to eliminate him but one of the major problems that they, as well as thousands of Velen's non-Draenei fans, come across is the fact that no one is actually sure where Exodar is. I'm not even sure where how I got here or why do they even have Peacekeepers but it would probably be better not to hang around too long to find out.
Anyhow, we shall make way to our good friend Stephanos, the official Exodar Flight Master! (… and hopefully not the ex-pilot of Exodar, in which case it was nice knowing you). For only 88 copper, he shall stamp and send you on your way towards our next exotic destination – the ancient city of Darnassus!
Chapter 2: Darnassus
We have landed in Darnassus. An ancient city, a beautiful city, a quiet city. The first things that tourists notice here are the beautiful Elven lakes, the magnificent Elven architecture, the phenomenal distance between the Elven Bank and Auction House (maybe that is the secret to their thin waists? We'll never know).
Well actually, the very first thing that you might notice (/cackle, beside how all the sentinels are female Night Elves?) is a weird-shaped tree in the middle of the city, half badger half eagle but all in all – it serves the function of Darnassian Bank. Right next to it, for eager leveling masses, one can find Hero's Call Board, offering starting quests for different zones of all levels.
In the southern part of Darnassus, popularly called the Temple of the Moon, priests of all shapes and sizes can be found, trainers, learners, bosses…
Also, this is where one of the rare non-elves in this city dwells – Elissa Dumas, the portal trainer who also keeps Exodar and Blasted Lands' portals open in case a naïve adventurer decides to jump through. On the other end of the moonwell we can see Hammon the Jaded, who is the official Elven Archaeology trainer, so if you are feeling like surveying distant lands and learning to differentiate all shades of red, yellow and green flashing lights (in addition to distances which they mark), he is the right person to talk to! Lastly, on the first floor, those who are interested can visit the Paladin trainer living in Darnassus. She stands next to Tyrande and Malfurion, who aren't of much use unless a) you are Horde who b)has a deathwish or c)has 39 other people who actually have a plan on how to execute the attack without the sudden urge to kick the proverbial bucket.
Outside the Temple, in the *dramatic pause* Temple Gardens, individuals interested in Herbalism can find a trainer as well as a supply vendor for the aforementioned profession. In addition to this, Night Elf Mages can find their trainers just a bit west from the Temple entrance. One of the more important NPCs here would most likely be the reagent vendor who likes to pace between the Temple and the Bank so most of the time you can find her on the bridge.
As we move from the Bank over the bridge to the east, we can see the Battlemasters and Warrior trainers to the left and some not-so-very-important-as-they-like-to-think elves to the right. Shockingly enough, this part of Darnassus is known as the Warrior's terrace, where also the Training Dummies can be found for tourists to poke or throw half-molten ice creams at, or if you like to spend your endless fortune and don't have an owl that you've always wanted to have, you can buy two species of this lovely shrieking bird right across the road at a fair Night Elf girl called Shylenai.
A bit north from the Warrior's terrace is where most Night Elf Craftsm- Craftswo- Craftselves can be found. This is where tourists have a field day – here you can find anything, from an Inn, over Enchanting, Tailoring, Leatherworking, Skinning, Alchemy trainers to Cooking and First Aid ones. If we go even a bit more north, we can see a big tree with waterfalls (you don't want to know) called the Howling Oak, where Gilnean refugees have taken shelter so there one can find some other class trainers, such as Warlocks and Druids (for anyone interested in fashion: fabulous Gilneas Tabard can be bought at Gilneas quartermaster next to Darnassus Flight Master, get it while it's still in!).
After staring for a while at the big oak, we continue our way but this time to the north-western part of Darnassus, visiting Cenarion Enclave. It is here that young Rogues, Druids and Hunters can find the proper education, as well as where Sabre handlers (a.k.a. Darnassus mount vendors) are located.
Lastly, we visit the Trademen's Terrace, where the most important institution would be the one and only, Far Far Away Darnassian Auction House, seen in the first wooden building to the right, just next to the lake. If you are planning on visiting it, bring a lunch. Or two.
Chapter 3: Stormwind
Now, a big change is about to happen in our quest! Mission! Thing!... Or we can just call it a journey. Whatever it is, the next stop on the way is none other than the monumental city of Stormwind! Often raided, never silent, constantly buzzing with latest news about gold price discounts or scary gorilla-theft stories; this is the city that never sleeps! Even as I step onto the dock, I get pushed aside by a large mass of creatures of all kinds moving in a mob and jumping into the sea one after another, mumbling some hard-to-understand words but they seem to sound like ''daily'', ''cage'' and ''rock lobster''. Strange folk indeed! Personally, I think it's the thin air up around their heads – no Gnome would do such a foolish thing! As I walk around in wonder, I overhear the workers talking – apparently the last dock on the other side from this one is where the ships from Northrend and Vashj'ir pick up passengers.
Anyhow, let's go into the city! As we go up and past the ramps, you can spot the grand lions of Stormwind, marvelous sculptures created when Stormwind Harbor was finally built. Moving out of the Harbor, you can all see the ex-Stormwind park in the shape of big, ruins-littered black fiery cliff of DOOM. Basically what happened was the following: Deathwing came, Deathwing saw, Deathwing conquered, res ipsa loquitur.
Nothing interesting about a pile of dirt. Unless you are an archaeologist. In that case, knock yourself out, we'll wait. You're done? Sure? Ok.
Now, all purple and green, we can see the magical Mage Quarter. Here many trainers can be found, ranging from (…obviously…) Mage and Portal trainers, over Herbalism, Alchemy, Tailoring, Inscription and Enchanting to Warlock trainers, as well as Reforging of items in the little enchanting shop on the outer side of the MQ-s, facing the canals.
Talking about the canals, as we cross one and enter the Trade District, we can already feel that we're about to see a lot more people. After all, this is the heart and soul of Stormwind. Some are in the Auction House which is at the very center of the city; others are across the street in the Stormwind Counting House, while others are standing around the fountain - chatting, crafting or simply appearing as if they are not there.
Of course, I must take this small opportunity and mention The Gilded Rose – the most famous Stormwind Inn, where innkeeper Allison is more than willing to help you with anything you might need, from Sweet Potato Bread to Sparkling Oasis Water.
If you are tired, you can rest at the inn – the accommodation is cheap and good. Well, satisfying. Ok, that might be pushing it but at least you won't sleep in the mud… too much of it anyhow.
Within a few yards from the inn you can also find the reagent vendor and general goods vendor who will have pretty much any commonly sold object that you might need. Down the street from them is one of the most wonderful and magnificent shops in the whole Stormwind – Trias' Cheese shop, property of the Trias family, with Elling Trias as the most prominent member. Another little shop in Trade District worth of mentioning is the barber shop. Currently run by Gnomes, it is a place that's always open and always ready to show the world its newest creation in the field of quantum mech- quantispike green mohawks, or maybe something less wild – pink Gnomefro. Be careful though, that may be just an ordinary Gnomefro, but watch out because that is not ordinary Gnomefro! Only the ones who are worthy enough can see it, otherwise it'll look just like a bald head…
The next part of this noble city that everyone loves is the Old Town. Here you can find both PvP and PvE gear vendors, as well as a range of different trainers, starting from Warrior, Rogue and Hunter ones over Riding trainers and Horse breeders, all the way to Training Dummies for tourists who are not totally covered in strawberry ice cream.
Between Old Town and Dwarf District, a big keep can be seen. This would be the (in)famous Stormwind Keep, with the king of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn. He likes to kill orcs, erect statues of himself in the middle of national crisis and take long walks on the beach. Scratch that. Anyhow, he's there, as well as his son and the ambassador/leader of Worgen, Genn Graymane.
Overall, not a very exciting place, unless you find talking to Battlemasters exciting. However, there are two persons in the Keep who are worth talking to. One is Behsten, a stealthed rogue who will, for a small fee, stop your experience gain for all sources. For what purpose you might use this is up to you. Next one is Harrison Jones, who can be found in the Keep's library. He is the official Stormwind Archaeology Trainer. You might even call him a professor… part time. Very exciting and friendly person to meet, as long as you are not/do not have any snakes.
Behind the Keep, in the middle of a small lake is an isle. Here portals are located to different areas where Deathwing's destruction has been sensed or where twilight cult has been active. None of them are very safe and I wouldn't recommend going into any unless you are at least 80 yea- level 80.
After the Keep, as a bit of freshness in all this human business, we arrive to the Dwarven district! Oh the fun moments one can have here, for it is not only a Dwarven district! You can find Gnomes here as well! And Draenei! And I think we all know the joke about the two Dwarf and one Draenei shaman trainers who entered the inn… Anyhow. In this part of Stormwind another Auction House can be found, along with the Royal Bank of Stormwind. Aside from Engineering, Blacksmithing and Mining trainers who are located in this section of the city, one of the most important structures in the whole Alliance can be seen here, and that is the Stormwind part of the Deeprun tram, which connects it with Ironforge. Built by united efforts of Gnomes(!), Dwarves and Humans, this partially-underground-partially-underwater-megastructure is one of the hallmarks of Alliance engineering, effort and determination. The view inside is quite nice as well.
The very last part of Stormwind that we shall visit is probably its most beautiful part – the Cathedral Square! The breathtaking Cathedral situated in the middle of it is simply impressive, along with being useful. In it, one can find Priest and Paladin trainers, as well as a First Aid trainer. One of the interesting places to visit within the Cathedral are the Stormwind Catacombs. Other than that, places worth of mentioning in Cathedral Square are the Stormwind Orphanage and the City Hall.
Chapter 4: Ironforge
Now, we shall go back to the Deeprun Tram and take an exciting trip through it – no reason to worry though, the glass barrier only exploded 4 times so far, less than once a year!
While we are on the moving platform, please keep your arms, legs, tentacles, tails, pets and totems in at all times, the maintenance crew are quite sensitive about having to scrape organic matter fused with the tunnel's wallpaper every few weeks.
Finally, we arrive to the Ironforge end of the tram, welcomed by one of the most prominent figures, the Gnome who revolutionized the turning of rats over pits by adding an extra 8.4 turns, you've guessed it folks - Monty is his name and rats are his game! Here we'll make a little break while everyone tries his famous Deeprun Rat Kabobs, just don't crowd him, he hates that. Omnomnom.
O-kay, now that we're done with eating, let's enter Ironforge!
Right from Deeprun Tram, we enter the small yet important Tinker Town.
This part of Ironforge is run by Gnomes and, honoring its name, it is full of Gnomish technology. Cogwheels, bars, levers, tubes, forges and, of course, Engineering and Alchemy trainers, this little community will never fail to surprise you with new discoveries, as long as having eyebrows is not an important thing in your life.
Going in a clockwise direction, we enter the part of Ironforge known as the Military Ward.
The well-known tourist activities here are practicing battle skills on the training dummies, having a laugh with the Battlemasters over the new Alterac Valley gossip and, lastly, if you are into that kind of thing, talking to Hunter and Warrior trainers.
Continuing clockwise (mind the shaft MIND THE-
nevermind… just walk up the ramp), we can see a wide, brightly lit area in front of us – the well-known Ironforge Commons. To the left, over the bridge, is the Ironforge Auction House while across the room from it is the famed Ironforge bank. Ironforge's Visitor's Center, one of my favorite locations, can be found on the east side of the Commons, while the barber shop can be found on the west (more-clockwise-one) side. In addition to this, the Commons are known for two more important points of interest: first one is Stonefire Tavern, which has been warmly greeting and accepting weary travelers for many years now, run by the Firebrews, and second one is right next to it – Barim's reagents, property of Barim Jurgenstaad who is famous for always having fresh Maple Seeds, Ankhs, Arcane Powders and Runes of all sorts.
Moving on into the next major part of this magnificent city: the Mystic Ward.
Reputable for its many magical dwellers, the Mystic Ward is just the place for any Mage, Priest or Paladin interested in learning new spells, abilities and powers, or maybe just wanting to hear the newest gossip about what this year's magic-user fashion is like – don't say I told you this, but I've heard that blue is the new purple!
The following part of Ironforge has been of great interested to both members of the Alliance as well as Horde... Outstanding when it comes to fish quality, the Forlorn Cavern is a quiet part of Ironforge which allows sanctuary to everyone who wants to run away a bit from daily duties and just enjoy in the ancient art of fishing.
This is the very place where you can find fishing trainer, if you think you have what it takes to become a professional fishergnome. Another reason why this part of Ironforge is so quiet might as well be the fact that this is where the rogues of the Alliance meet to train new abilities, discover new talents or just chit-chat about the modern ways to help a person move on with their existence with just one tiny feather!
Our next Ironforge destination is the famed Hall of Explorers!
With many a Dwarf, Gnome, Draenei and other explorer, digger, archaeologist and historian visiting this well-known museum and overall history centre, it is often a very busy place… as long as a certain resurrection spell doesn't go wrong or a certain mage removes water filter from their portal before teleporting to it.
The very last place in our Ironforge visit is its very own Forge – the main attraction and its main pride.
Huge, thick, durable, this object is extremely important to all the Dwarves. They've even, basically, built the whole city around it – the main circle around the forge is full of little shops of each and all kinds: trainers for everyone and everything, vendors, quest givers, not a thing missing. Even the council of Ironforge, which rules it, is right behind (or in front, depending on the perspective) the great Forge…
One last thing about this glorious city which I feel obliged to mention are its rams.

Stephen Fry plays Lady Bracknell at Drury Lane?
Editorial Staff • West End • 18 Jan 2013
Fry told the Daily Mail that he sees his Lady Bracknell "as a little bit of Alastair Sim's Miss Fritton, clutching pearls; with a mixture of Stanley Baxter's 'Duchess of Brenda".
Producers David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers have reportedly been in talks with Fry, who is currently appearing in the West End in Twelfth Night, for over a year.
According to the Mail's Baz Bamigboye, "The plan is for the production to run at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane during the autumn of 2014."
Currently at the venue, one of the West End's largest theatres, Shrek finishes on 24 February ahead of Sam Mendes' staging of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is due to begin previews on 18 May.

WELLSVILLE, Ohio (WKBN) — A Cleveland-area man died Tuesday evening after being shot several times while sitting in an SUV on Clover Alley.
Police said someone opened fire on Taru Smith, 36, of Lorain. They are still looking for the shooter.
Smith was among three people arrested July 11 during a drug raid on Commerce Street in Wellsville. He was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear on a previous charge of marijuana possession.
Smith was scheduled for trial next week on drug-related charges.

Hey, folks. Remember me? Yes, I'm still blogging, but I'm just really having a hard time of it. I don't brain very well these days, it seems.
Just wanted to post something so you knew I was still alive, unlike that poor woman who was found dead in her car for like five years and nobody noticed. That's a hell of a thing.
I did actually write up a post a few days ago after I accidentally propositioned someone at the car wash, but I wasn't happy with the final product, so you're just going to have to use your imagination.
Anyway, to ease back into what I hope will be regular-ish blogging, I give you this picture I took last week while on my lunchtime walk.
Rat Face Snow Melt. (March 5, 2014) Water on sidewalk canvas, 4' x 6'. That's right. This is art, baby!
I asked my walking buddies if they'd keep a lookout for other interesting things I could photograph for the blog.
Specifically, I asked for snow skulls. There were lots of frozen blobs of winter remnants that looked like skulls to me, but not enough good ones to make the grade.
My walking partners probably don't know if they want to be my walking partners anymore because can't you just walk without looking for disembodied heads in the snow?
You must always look for disembodied heads in the snow! Because if we won't, who will?
Hope y'all are having a super fantastic weekend and enjoying some balmy temperatures since this hellish winter appears to be over.
Until later……

Fabio Capello is preparing his team for the UEFA European Championship 2012 qualification campaign and has included the Fulham striker in his 23-man squad.
Zamora enjoyed the best season of his career last term which saw his goals not only help Fulham secure a comfortable mid-table finish in the Premier League but to also reach the UEFA Europa League final.
Earlier this week, Mark Hughes stated he wanted to help Zamora get into the England team and get him the international recognition he deserved. Zamora was considered for England before the World Cup and was close to making it to South Africa before an injury crushed his chances.
Hughes said of the news, 'We're delighted for Bobby'.

I want to tell my readers a little information about myself, my history and the purpose of this blog before I get started.
I am a 41-year-old woman residing in the beautiful state of North Carolina. I never married nor do I have any human children. My children are my two beautiful cats (as of 2014 3 cats). I refer to them as 'my babies' because I treat them like babies and they act like babies. They are completely spoiled. I enjoy reading, traveling (not so much lately) and being outdoors. Currently I work at a major health insurance company. I have a medical accommodation that allows me to work from home every day so I rarely go to the office (or anywhere else for that matter). I work from home. I have a great sense of humor and I am funny (not sure if that will translate in writing though). I am working towards a MS in education with a focus in psychology.
I am not a medical doctor nor am I a spiritual guru however I chose to write a blog about bow legs and arthritis because I have a lot of experience with both. And I use my spirituality along with many other alternative pain management techniques to lessen my pain as well as prevent me from losing my mind.
I was born very bowlegged and as a result I developed arthritis in both knees in my early teens. Arthritis has been a part of my daily life for a very long time. Every site I have read discusses arthritis as a condition for the elderly. However, there are many people with arthritis that are much, much younger. Being younger does not make the condition any less severe or painful. In many ways its worse when a young person develops the condition because it can be debilitating. It changes your life completely. The past 6 years arthritis dominated my life to an extent that I could not ever imagine (I'll discuss in more detail in my blogs).
In my lifetime I had 8 surgeries related to my legs or knees. Currently, I need a partial knee replacement on both knees. The right leg is more bowed than the left and sustained more damage. My right knee hurts to some degree every day. The left knee is better than the right but not by much. I affectionately call my left leg/knee the good leg. 🙂
Each surgery is different from the other in regards to recovery time, physical therapy, and pain level. The one thing they all have in common is that they all taught me something different. The daily struggles, surgeries and pain I endured taught me many valuable lessons about myself, life, health, happiness and perseverance. The purpose of this blog is to share my experiences with others and perhaps helps someone else experiencing a similar situation.
I hope this page will not only give information about bow legs and arthritis but also serve as a support to others living in pain. I will provide information about bow legs, arthritis, pain management including but not limited to spiritual and emotional well-being, supplements, exercise…..
This blog is not a doom and gloom place because I am not a doom and gloom person. I will share some sad and sometimes funny stories. The purpose of the stories is not to wallow in pity but to share the lesson learned.
I hope you enjoy my blog. I look forward to your comments and feedback.
Happy reading

i have Lonicera nitida hedges dotted all over the place. Very quick growing and easy to maintain. Only drawback needs clipping every 5 6 wks, but not a difficult job if hedge is straight.
i have them growing all over my garden, some bought, some from seed. They have all flowered this year. but all i have done is deadhead, they are still going strong now. Mine are all in a position where they get quite a bit of sun. They like well drained soil, but mine have all been waterlogged this year. i treat them the same way i treat my strawberry plants. I mulch them with manure or garden compost and dead head regularly.
seeds are edible and have anutty flavour. I harvest them and use in fruit loaf.
I too am a landy enthusiast as is all my family. We don't use biofuel. I had to sell my much beloved defender due to it needing a new chassis. Now got one of them disco thingys Om loves it, as he needs the comfort these days. but it's a gas guzzler, although it does a few more miles to the gallon. I don't have solar panels, I live near a windfarm, I have no objection to them on or off shore. I object to cars parking on roads if it causes havoc whilst driving down roads. and when I lived in a town my kid wasn't allowed to play on the road, they played in gardens or stayed at home........... i hate to see front gardens given over to anything other free draining materials. But then i have moved from an area that was mostly concrete and tarmac, and there was continuos hose pipe bans....................... now i wonder why!!!! I remember years ago reports being made that the seas around britain would rise......... i think they probably are, but not for the reasons originally stated, but by all those folk covering their front gardens which causes rain to run off into the drains and that ends up in the sea one way or another. No wonder parts of England will be made into desserts. My objection is all these new builds going up. Even where we live, rural wales, modern town houses are going up in a matter of weeks And there are so many houses on the market. But then it's mostly back handers that get things through planning. That's why I moved from an area that was included in the Oxbridge ark of building estates and new villages. And I saw no plans for extra reservoirs for all these hoards of new villages.
i agree with Bob Flowerdew if it is done properly for a good reason, creating beds for more veg or flowers. if folk don't want gardens why don't they buy / rent a flat?
never fear ladies, they have just emerged as adults, and will be mating and laying eggs in lawns which will cause all sorts of headaches for all sorts of folks.
I grew mine from seed, later in the summer as you have done. i left mine in their pots, I cut off the ferns when they died back and i protected the pots during the colder periods with fleece around the pots and under a smaller tunnel on the staging.
I always some a few when the seeds are ready and over winter in my polytunnel, giving them an extra smaller tunnel during the colder months, Then I sow extras next spring. So you may some them when you wish.
Thanks Lovelawn, I will look into them. I am still looking around. Hope i see some trade stands at malvern to check some out.
I don't quite know where to start to advise you, but if it were mine, I would first off, check for two main sections, One for the head and the other for the tail. Work out where half way up the bush is, this is where the head would start splitting away from the back and tail.I would tie one bundle together for one end and then begin on the other creating either the neck which would thin to the head, or the tail. work from the middle out. But please remember that one wrong snip and it will take a long time to rectify. It will take a couple of years before you get the right shape and growth. But it can be done. I tend to start from scratch. I use Lonicera nitida, much quicker growing and I place a new smallish plant inside a wire frame that i have made
on Lawrencia of the Lawnicus, as I have called him, I used an old rubber gardening glove as added features.
I bought one and planted in my new border, It disappeared during the same day. But discovered moments later after finding a short stem 1" high, that one of my chickens had been over the fence and eaten most of it. She had a bit of leaf stuck to her leg. I had prepared the area around the base to fight off slimeys, but never thought about hens.

Big Ideas in Macroeconomics
Macroeconomists have been caricatured either as credulous savants in love with the beauty of their mathematical models or as free-market fundamentalists who admit no doubt as to the market's wisdom. In this book, Kartik Athreya draws a truer picture, offering a nontechnical description of prominent ideas and models in macroeconomics, and arguing for their value as interpretive tools as well as their policy relevance. Athreya deliberately leaves out the technical machinery, providing an essential guide to the sometimes abstract ideas that drive macroeconomists' research and practical policy advice.
Athreya describes the main approach to macroeconomic model construction, the foundational Walrasian general-equilibrium framework, and its modern version, the Arrow-Debreu-McKenzie (ADM) model. In the heart of the book, Athreya shows how the Walrasian approach shapes and unifies much of modern macroeconomics. He details models central to ongoing macroeconomic analyses: the neoclassical and stochastic growth models, the standard incomplete-markets model, the overlapping-generations model, and the standard search model. Athreya's accessible primer traces the links between the views and policy advice of modern macroeconomists and their shared theoretical approach.
About the Author
Kartik B. Athreya is Executive Vice President and Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and an Associate Editor of the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control.

Lebanese aroma fills the streets of Egypt
No one has ever thought that the Lebanese people would affect the biggest Arab country in the Arab world Egypt, after the two popular programs screened in the past two years "Superstar, and Star academy". In addition to the these two popular shows, one person, Lebanese actress Nicole Saba, who participated in Adel Imam's movie "A Dutch Experience", was able to dominate the Egyptian society in ways beyond television screens.
Anyone visiting Egypt can easily realize the profound Lebanese effect all over the streets. One can see ads for original Lebanese products in addition to many restaurants beginning to offer authentic Lebanese cuisines as a way to attract people.
Egyptian females are also seeking Lebanese beauty salons, which have spread very fast in all Cairo districts, wanting to look like women in Lebanon. It seems that Egyptians are running after new trends to break the boring lifestyle and to do something new.
On a different note, Nicole has apologized to prominent Egyptian actress Yusra for not being able to accept the offer to star in her new film "Kalam Fil Hub" (Love Talk), due to the fact that she is occupied with her first solo album, which she released recently. Sources revealed that the real reason Nicole turned down Yusra was because she is looking for a film where she plays the leading role and one that does not depend on her looks or her being seductive.
Nicole stressed that she is looking for a role that will bring out her real acting talents and dose not depend on her outside appearance. She added that the role in Yusra's film will not achieve her goal and so she decided to turn it down.
It was added that negotiations between Nicole and the makers of the film did not succeed due to the fact that the singer/actress demanded that alterations be made to the script to make her role more of a major rather than just a minor one.
Nicole stressed that she refuses to accept any role if it does not add to her acting career, at the same time she refuses to have a minor role in any film reflect negatively on her singing career. –Albawaba.com

The new Chancellor said the Treasury had launched a review of all the spending decisions made in the last months of the Labour administration in an effort to claw back some of the spiralling budget deficit.
Speaking at the Confederation of British Industry annual dinner, Mr Osborne said: It's increasingly clear that the last Government embarked on a reckless and irresponsible spending spree in the last months of government."
He reserved his strongest criticism for Liam Byrne, the outgoing Chief Secretary to the Treasury, who left his successor David Laws a note saying: "There's no money left".
"Let that letter stand as a handwritten testament to that period of office," the Chancellor said.
Official figures released yesterday showed that civil servants were objecting to spending decisions made by ministers at a rate of nearly one a month as Labour headed for defeat in the election.
Labour ministers have been accused of pursuing a "scorched earth policy" by leaving behind billions of pounds of spending commitments for the coalition Government.
Mr Osborne also used his speech in London on Wednesday night to reaffirm his commitment to cutting corporation tax in an effort to boost the economic competitiveness of British firms.
He said that the final Lib-Con coalition agreement – to be published on Thursday – would include a commitment to "lower and simpler" corporate tax rates.
The emergency Budget on June 22 will set out a "five year road map" for a "big reform" of the corporation tax system, he said.
Mr Osborne has been under pressure to reaffirm his tax cutting credentials after agreeing to a hike in capital gains tax as part of the deal hammered out with the Liberal Democrats.
The promise of initial cuts in the headline rate of corporation tax from 28p to 25p, and in the small companies rate from 21p to 20p, was a key plank of the Conservatives' general election manifesto.
There was speculation that it had been abandoned after there was no mention of it in the preliminary coalition agreement published last week.
But the Chancellor said: "I want corporate tax reform to be a priority for this government, and I can confirm that the final coalition agreement that we will publish tomorrow will commit us to lower and simpler corporate tax rates.
"At the Budget I want to set out a five year road map for a big reform of corporation tax."
He said that the final document issued by the two parties would state: "We will reform the corporate tax system by simplifying reliefs and allowances, and tackling avoidance, in order to reduce headline rates.
"Our aim is to create the most competitive corporate tax regime in the G20, while protecting manufacturing industries."

Hi, i know that the lack of the driver rtl8187 is a known issue, i've an Alfa Usb wifi adapter Awus036h whch loses the connection each times i start a download. I've tried following the commands written on the Wiki but with no results. I fixed the problem only on Arch i686 using ndiswrapper and Windows Xp_32 bit driver for the adapter (on Arch x86_64 i get a kernel panic with the same driver of Wind_64bit).
I noticed that using Ubuntu there isn't this problem and i don't get any disconnection. Maybe due to the differences between the two kernels, but how can we get the Ubuntu's advantages of rtl8187 into Arch too?
Thanks, Marco

Hi Marco,
Same issues here.. Rtl8187 is driving me mad
Did you make any progress on Arch x86_64 and ndiswrapper?
I'm currently using rtl8187 from compat-wireless-snp AUR package. Seems to work a bit better than kernel stock.
Also, i noticed, setting :
sudo iwconfig [w_iface] retry 255
greatly imporves rtl8187 behaviour..

Carmel & I (Genevieve Havemeyer-King) then began the program with our talk, "From Planning to Preservation: Method & Madness". Carmel walked us through the process of developing a basic retention schedule, based on her work at the BAM Hamm Archives, with some helpful tips and insights on how to make it a friendly, productive, experience. I picked up where she left off to describe how one moved from selection and appraisal of materials to choosing the components of a digital preservation system. Also, our entire talk was enhanced by Clueless gifs. ; )
Dr. Rachel Mattson, Manager of Special Projects, and Poorna Swami, Development Associate, from La Mama Experimental Theater Club, hosted an amazing Grant Workshop, in which they gave practical insider advice on how to write an effective grant. Sharing their entire process, from research and "stalking" (as Poorna calls it) to asking for feedback, this talk really got down to the nuts and bolts of fundraising.
After lunch, we were treated with Mary's overview of her work at New York Public radio, with a demonstration of how to use open source software, NetMDPython, to get around firewalls to migrate data from Mini Discs in "Get out of My (Mini) Disc, Get Into My Drive". Here's a link to the instructions on using NetMDPython scripts.
Kathryn Gronsbell, Digital Asset Manager at Carnegie hall, gave an introduction to the file packaging format BagIt and lead us through a simple workshop using the Python build to create, validate, and mess with some sample Bags via Mac OS command line, and I talked about my experience pondering how BagIt fits into workflows that require creation of really big archival information packages, such as those we're creating at WCS. Kathryn's wonderful instructional package, with a list of helpful references and tutorials on BagIt, can be found Here on our github.
Morgan began a panel on "Web Archiving for Everyone" with a demo on the new tool, Webrecorder.io, followed by some informative presentations on web archiving initiatives given by Sumitra Duncan, Web Archiving coordinator for the Frick Art Reference Library, Rebecca Gunther, Consultant for the NYARC pilot project, and Alexandra Drakakis, Associate Curator for the National September 11th Memorial & Museum.
Dinah closed out the day with a detailed overview of how to use microservices for audiovisual preservation. After demonstrating a script she created and sharing her experiences with learning how to code (you can too!), she emphasized the importance of being open to new tools and making considerations about retrieval costs, collection growth, and environmental impact when making decisions about how to manage and store your digital objects.
We were so glad to have an opportunity to share our experiences with all of you, and to learn from the insightful questions that were sparked throughout the day. A main goal of this event was to provide an open, inclusive space for discussion about the issues we've been grappling with, and we could not have done it without you!
We didn't get to meet all of you, or even talk to most of you, but we are so grateful that you were there, and we continue to value your advice, opinions, and stories.
Thank You for helping us create a wonderful day.

Gina Carano is a highly sought after prize by the UFC and indeed, Promotion's President Dana White has often remarked about how the brand is "close" to signing the 7 – 1 fighter and former Strikeforce and Elite XC star. Setting aside whatever snags that are holding up a deal with the 32-year-old Texas native, it is assumed, nonetheless, that "Conviction" is soon to be restarting her career in the UFC's Octagon. Further, White has left the impression that Carano's debut fight in the brand is to be a title match with undefeated bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
Regarding a 'coming out' fight with "Rowdy," the consensus opinion appears to be that it is asking too much of Carano to take on the 10 – 0 champion and her 100% finishing rate, at least not without giving her (Carano) the benefit of one, if not two, tune-up fights. "Conviction" has not fought competitively since August of 2009 and her first round TKO (Strikeforce) loss to Cristiane Justino. As such, Carano has accumulated half-a-decade's worth of ring rust and it is hard for fans to see how that amount of inactivity is going to withstand the test that is Ronda Rousey.
Former UFC heavy and light-heavyweight champion Randy Couture is one of those that are of the opinion that Carano will be over her head in facing "Rowdy." Couture has coached "Conviction" in past years and believes that she has the technical skills to hang with Rousey on the feet; however, as he told the MMA Hour this week (August 4, 2014), grappling with the champion is another question. As Couture puts it, fighting on the mat is Carano's "Achilles" heel. By "The Natural's" estimation, the UFC should give Carano a "couple of fights" and allow her "get back on track… (And) shore up her grappling technique," before they put her in the ring with the champion. If not, Couture does not think it will be much of a fight.
His words:
"I think it's silly. It'd be silly for Gina. I think Gina has way more to lose there than she has to gain in stepping right into a title fight after being off, and off the mats in a training environment, for the last five years… I think if they give her a chance to really get her feet back under her and get back up to technical speed where she was, it would be a very interesting fight… (However) to throw her right in against Ronda Rousey in the very first fight; Ronda is firing on all cylinders right now, has been very active and is as sharp as she can be, right now. That (fight) just doesn't make a lot of sense to me."
Of course, the argument for having an immediate Rousey vs. Carano match is to ensure that the fight happens. If Carano comes back and loses her debut fight in the promotion or failed to win her next one or two matches post a loss, then the UFC would lose a massive pay-per-view (PPV) and that is a gamble the promotion is not likely to take.
However, there is a downside for the UFC if they immediately book the fight upon Carano's signing and that is the match being a complete bust. As great as Rousey is, watching her smash opponents with little effort is not a fan thrilling event. If the UFC puts "Conviction" in the ring with the champion and she (Carano) gets trashed within the first minute or even first round of the fight, fans are apt to say 'we told ya so' to the UFC and probably feel ripped off for their PPV buy.
Regarding it all, it would be great to see Carano back in the ring again. However, if she is going to come back to a sixty-second beating at the hands of Ronda Rousey, then what is the point? Carano needs a couple of fights to get her MMA wind back and as Legacy FC bantamweight champion Holly Holm, who is in shape and ready to go, was wise enough to not seek an immediate title shot upon her signing with the promotion, so too should Carano avoid immediate title glory. To do less is likely to be just signing up for a beating.

District Judge Susan Bolton has issued an injunction blocking key parts of Arizona's SB 1070 from going into effect tomorrow, amid a mass exodus of Latinos from the state.
The judge temporarily blocked implementation of laws allowing police to stop anyone they had "reasonable suspicion" to believe was in the country illegally, and requiring immigrants to carry federal documentation at all times. She also blocked the officers from being able to make warrantless arrests of those they suspect to be in the country illegally. However, the overall law is still set to go into effect on July 29th, making key opponents reluctant to celebrate this apparent victory.
"There is a substantial likelihood that officers will wrongfully arrest legal resident aliens under the new (law)," Bolton ruled. "By enforcing this statute, Arizona would impose a 'distinct, unusual and extraordinary' burden on legal resident aliens that only the federal government has the authority to impose."

New Homes for the Growing FlockPosted at 10:56 am November 1, 2010 by Michelle Smith
As previously reported, the Hawaii Endangered Bird Conservation Program has achieved notable success this year, increasing the `alala flock by 11 juveniles (see post, Record Breeding Season for 'Alala)! With all these new youngsters cavorting around, and with further growth of the flock anticipated in future years, aviary space has become hot property. Consequently, construction of brand-new `alala aviaries began in late summer at the Maui Bird Conservation Center (MBCC). Each building will have six aviaries, and with a potential of four buildings being completed over this winter, we will increase our holding capacity significantly.
As the `alala flock has grown over the past 15 years, the majority of new aviary infrastructure has been developed at our sister facility, the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center on the Big Island. Following the investment in new aviaries at MBCC, we will be able to increase our holding capacity and start to balance the `alala gene pool more equally between the two facilities. The new aviaries are being built primarily to house groups of youngsters and nonbreeders, allowing us to prioritize existing aviary space for breeding pairs.
As with all our `alala aviaries, the new ones will have a double layer of mesh on walls and roof. The fine, outer mesh is mosquito proof to protect the birds from harmful malaria-carrying mosquitoes. We will have the option of separating birds into individual units or opening hatch doors to allow birds to socialize with each other throughout the entire building. This will facilitate interactions between young birds and the development of their social skills, as well as maximize foraging opportunities that will stimulate the birds mentally and physically.
While we try to distance ourselves from the impressionable `alala, it is still important that all birds are monitored closely. The new aviaries will be built with small compartments called hack-boxes, where birds can be shifted for easy catch-up, weighing, or just a closer look. These provide a valuable tool for managing the birds with little contact with people, as well as minimizing the need to capture birds with a net.
A BIG thank you to all the donors who made this project possible. Approximately one third of the funding resulted from the Zoo's popular fund-raising event, 2010's Rendezvous In the Zoo (R*I*T*Z). The remainder has been allocated by our program partners, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and State of Hawaii Division of Forestry and Wildlife. We are tremendously grateful for all the support. We are also very grateful to Zoe Builders for all the excellent work they have been doing so far. It is very exciting to see the progress that has been made with the `alala program, and the expansion taking place is a great step forward.

Akron Children's Hospital of the Mahoning Valley held its third annual Clubs for Kids Golf Classic on Friday.
About 140 golfers gathered at the Youngstown County Club for one of the hospital's biggest fundraisers.
Organizers predict the outing will bring in more than $60,000 which will go towards programs and services at the hospital.
"It's not only important for the funds that we raise, but it's also important to help us educate the community about what we do and to meet new business partners in the community as well," said JoAnn Stock, director of development with Akron Children's Hospital.
Over the past three years, the event has raised over $100,000.

Hooray – it's finally Bistro Night courtesy of French Fridays with Dorie here at 1840 Farm again. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed all of the Friday holiday celebrations during the last month, but I missed our Friday night Bistro Night. I was happy to see it return.
When my family asks "What's for dinner?", I know that I will give them something to smile about when I answer that it's Bistro Night. Today was no exception. We had all been looking forward to the first French Friday recipe of the New Year. We were far from upset when Paris Mushroom Soup was announced as the first recipe of 2011.
Mushrooms are a popular ingredient here. They are featured prominently in risotto, pizza, pasta, and our vegetable Hachis Parmentier. If they were a garden crop, they would certainly find their way into our already crowded rows of vegetables. Instead, we do the unthinkable and buy all of our mushrooms at the grocery store. Mushrooms are one of the few vegetables that I can honestly say always find their way to our refrigerator via the grocery store. We don't see any at the local farmer's markets and haven't yet tried to propagate them on our property. Oh well, there's always next year.
So, on to the recipe at hand. Paris Mushroom Soup. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never eaten it or prepared it. The accompanying photo in Around My French Table was of prepped mushrooms rather than the finished dish, so it didn't give me any clues as to what my dinner bowl would look like. The recipe is really quite interesting. A raw, herbed mushroom "salad" is placed in each soup bowl and then the hot mushroom soup is ladled over it. I was intrigued by the combination.
The soup was simple to make. I didn't expect any different. I've cooked many of Dorie Greenspan's recipes and have never found her instructions difficult to follow. She always seems to provide an excellent road map to any dish whether it is quite simple or extremely complex. Maybe that's why I enjoy cooking from her recipes so much. Of course, it doesn't hurt that my daughter enjoys Dorie's recipes as much as I do, which means that she is normally by my side as I'm making them.
My daughter and I made quick work of the recipe. The whole dish came together in about 45 minutes. Between the soup bubbling away in the Dutch oven and the fresh loaf of french bread in the oven, the kitchen smelled divine. We couldn't wait to see and taste the final result. Luckily, it was time to finish the soup with the immersion blender. As soon as we did, I had my own mental image of what Paris Mushroom Soup was supposed to look like.
The table was set and dinner was ready. All that was left for Bistro Night was the eating. We had high expectations for this soup. We were not disappointed. It was a rich, delicious mixture that perfectly blended the freshness of raw mushrooms with the earthiness of sauteed mushrooms. If I hadn't made it myself, I wouldn't have believed that it didn't rely on heavy cream to deliver such a velvety smooth texture. I looked around our farmhouse table and saw happy, contented faces. They stayed that way until we all realized that the soup was gone. We made immediate plans to make it again very soon. A true sign of a great recipe.
Next week, we'll be enjoying Gnocchi a la Parisienne on Bistro Night here at 1840 Farm. We love gnocchi, so I'm sure that we will again gather to dine together at the table and enjoy every last bite. Maybe that's why Bistro Night is so popular here. Good food. Good wine. Good time spent together as a family in the kitchen and at the table. The fabulous French food is merely a bonus.

This is a continuation from What OS for Docker host? (Part 2).
Reading about my plight and having experienced problems with Docker on Alpine Linux, Jan Hapke recommended CoreOS unless one needs CIFS. Since I didn't know anything about CIFS, I assumed I didn't need it. So I pulled down another ISO and burned another disc. The installation process was fairly simple and I'd already learned my lesson about specifying authorized keys at install time during my Rancher OS exploration. I was a little surprised that the installer didn't ask me if I really wanted to reformat my hard drive–I knew it would and admittedly did use sudo, but usually for such potentially disastrous consequences most installers ask if you really want to lose all the data on the drive . . .
The install went fairly quickly and I was able to ssh into my machine using my key. I checked and the Docker version was at 1.8.3–I had installed the "stable" version of CoreOS so it makes sense that it doesn't have the very latest and greatest. I ran a few Docker containers and everything worked smoothly and as I would want.
Then came wireless networking setup. I couldn't. Searching a bit found others also wanted to use wireless with CoreOS, but the solution seems to involved manually finding the correct drivers and then reconfiguring and building the kernel. That was something I wasn't too keen to try. And so I decided that I wouldn't use CoreOS.
While searching for operating systems to try, I came across a couple articles mentioning Ubuntu Core which is known as "Snappy" and is apparently "designed for Docker". Since I still had CoreOS running on the laptop, the install consisted of running:
wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/ubuntu-15.04-snappy-amd64-generic.img.xz unxz -c ubuntu-15.04-snappy-amd64-generic.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=32M
After that, since I had just run dd over the hard drive, things were understandably in a very bad state, so I forced a restart of the machine. Surprisingly Snappy booted up fine and I was able to SSH into it using the default user name and password (both "ubuntu").
Installing Docker was pretty easy once I realized that the system didn't have apt-get. Using the Snappy way, I ran:
sudo snappy install docker
This gave me version 1.6.2 of Docker. I tried running "sudo snappy update docker" but it just seemed to update ubuntu-core. When I went to install Docker directly from docker.io, I discovered that not only does Snappy not come with wget or curl, it doesn't even seem to have an easy way to install those tools (though some people have found complicated ways to install them). Since I just wanted to fetch a single file, and had Docker, I mounted a volume, spun up a container, and fetched the Docker install script into the mounted directory. I then exited the container and tried to run the script. The script seemed to think that Snappy is like normal Ubuntu and tried to run apt-get. It failed miserably. With an ancient version of Docker and difficulty adding the most basic of utilities, I didn't even want to try taking on the beast that is wireless. And so I decided that I wouldn't use Snappy.
I had thought that this post would have two parts, but obviously that didn't work out. The story continues (and hopefully finds a happy ending) in part 3.

As a solo female traveller, this is an awesome place. The Met bus is basically right outside the door and will take you all over Hollywood/LA. I had everything I needed at Aleks place and he was a very kind and helpful host. Check in and out was a breeze, the apartment was clean with all the necessities. Tons of local places to dine or have a few drinks. I'd definitely stay again.

Aleks made sure we had a great stay, he put in a lot of effort as a host. We love him! His apartment was super nice and our room was too, the private bathroom was a real plus. Having a pool to use whenever we wanted was awesome. The central location was perfect for exploring, we were able to use public transport to get anywhere we wanted to go. We will definitely see Aleks again in LA!
Maksim is a perfect host! Apartament is very nice, clean and location is perfect! Close to Hollywood boulvard, right behind santa monica blvd, it's easy to get to many turistic locations in LA from there. Swimming pool is also nice. Highly recomend The apartament and The host.
Great place, quiet but near to Nightlife scene and Melrose .. Great and caring host, Maksim!! Hope we meet again!
I stayed at maskim place for 2 weeks and he is very accomodating. Nice and clean apartment. It's very close to restaurants and bars. He really puts the effort in making his guest feel welcome. I look forward seeing maskim again when I'm in Los Angeles. You are the best!!
Ever been to a boutique hotel room? Well, this room can be classified. Yet, it's not in a hotel but in a homely residential apartment. Place is very clean, the color and set up, pleasing to the eye. Gives you a relaxing feel after a whole day of walking and exploration. Located, in between two strategic roads, Sunset Blvd and Santa Monica, it will give you the option to reach almost any point you want to go to in LA. Talk about freedom to explore on your own! Maksim was a very nice host. Too bad, he was very busy reviewing for exams so we had limited interactions. But still, he gave me this feeling of living in my own home even if i am actually thousands of miles away from my own home.
Maksim is a really nice guy and he was very helpful.
His Apartment was clean, comfortable and central.
We visit him definitely again!
Maksim is super nice! He gave me lots of great tips (where to eat, where to go, etc.) and is really easy to talk to and get along with. The apartment was clean and tidy, and the room was awesome -- a lot of entertainment if you're in the mood for a quiet night and a very big, comfy bed.
I'd definitely stay with him again :)

Near the start of October, we discovered a pre-order page for GTA V on the European PlayStation Store that said players would need at least 50 GB for the game. At the time, we compared it to the PS3 version's 18 GB requirement.
Now, the PlayStation Store page for GTA V's PS4 digital download says the file size is 41.8 GB. However, Reddit user DallasStars1999 pre-ordered it and was told 44.9 GB is needed. That's not as big as the initial report, but it's still massive compared to the original's size.
This is most likely due to the HD textures. It seems as though many PS4 and Xbox One games have massive file sizes. Hard drives are bigger now, but this still poses a potential problem for players who prefer digital copies of games. What format are you getting GTA V in, and what do you think about the PS4 version's file size?

Republicans are on the fast-track to repealing Obamacare and throwing Americans off their life saving healthcare. But in the process of sticking it to middle class once again, Republicans are using their Obamacare replacement to give more money to rich people.
Republicans are giving away $400 million in tax cuts to CEOs of insurance companies, according to language buried deep in their proposed plan.
Democrats on Wednesday broadly blasted a proposed Obamacare replacement bill after learning the federal government would lose about $400 million in lost tax revenue over the next decade due to a sweet break for health insurers.
Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., said that the tax break related to executive pay underscores the fact that the Republican replacement bill is "the beginning of a huge giveaway to the very, very wealthy," and the end of insurance coverage to millions of lower-income people.
"We're starting off… with essentially a giveaway to insurance executives," Levin said.
The proposed tax break, buried in cryptic language in the Republican plan, would allow health insurers to more fully deduct the value of their executives' compensation on their taxes. That compensation can be as high as tens of millions of dollars, in the case of CEOs of insurers.
