Every week, I shine the spotlight on some of the best storytelling in the business and offer my comments. "3 Great Stories of the Week" will post every Monday at 8 AM.
Hit charade (October 2015, The Atlantic): How much do you want to know about how a chef prepares your meal? What about how a litany of behind-the-scenes employees prepare your favorite songs?
The answers to the latter come from this absorbing article, written by Nathaniel Rich for The Atlantic (with a major hat-tip to author John Seabrook, whose book The Song Machine supplies much of Rich's material). With no concern for spoiling or party-pooping, Rich dives into the factories that produce, with seeming cold-hearted machinery, an increasing number of the hits that grace the Billboard charts.
Much of this story's success derives from its thoroughness; Rich, through Seabrook, dives into the subject with great detail. It shows in paragraphs like this, including some wit from a writer basically saying Santa Claus isn't real:
Pop hitmakers frequently flirt with plagiarism, with good reason: Audiences embrace familiar sounds. Sameness sells. Dr. Luke in particular has been accused repeatedly of copyright infringement. His defense: "You don't get sued for being similar. It needs to be the same thing." (Dr. Luke does get sued for being similar, and quite often; he has also countersued for defamation.) Complicating the question of originality is the fact that only melodies, not beats, can be copyrighted. This means a producer can sell one beat to multiple artists.

More archived video via Janis Digital…
The original name of the place was taken from the name of a local family – "Beantown." For the longest time, people have used this name to refer to Waldorf, Maryland. However, in the year 1880, the town's name was changed to Waldorf to give honor to Mr. William Waldorf Astor. This great transition was headed by the General Assembly of Maryland. During the early years, gambling has become part of the lifestyle of the people living in the area. They enjoy playing slot machines especially that it was legalized by the Charles County in the year 1949. In fact, many individuals visit the area because of the tobacco industry and gambling establishments. This boom lasted only until 1968 aster the gambling activities had been outlawed by proper authorities.
So, with all the major industry in Waldorf, Janis Digital Media is there to help your business or organization in any way possible.

One of the most thrilling experiences I've had was riding the public bus up the steep, winding road from Kalampaka to visit the Clifftop Monasteries in Meteora, Greece. December 1981 – taken with a Ricoh 35 mm.
The Monastery of Agia Triada in Meteora: The historical monastery of Agia Triada, meaning the Holy Trinity, has been built on top of a rock in Meteora. It was built around the 12th century by monks seeking refugee from the invading Turkish troops. This monastery occupies the most spectacular position among the six monasteries of Meteora. Visitors can reach the top of the monastery by climbing some 140 steep steps.

It is no secret that the end of the relationship between Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX) and Kraft Foods Inc. (NYSE: KFT) has been without much love. In fact, Starbucks wanted out early and the action was enough that contract law and the fight over fault came up. Starbucks might prefer for everyone to just stop by a Starbucks retail location for their cup of Morning Joe. It also knows that no matter what it does that people are going to drink coffee at home from their coffee machines. That being said, Starbucks either has to go it alone or will have to strike a new partnership. A research note this morning indicates that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (NASDAQ: GMCR) would make the perfect partner for Starbucks.
A research report from Canaccord Genuity this morning reiterates a Buy rating on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (NASDAQ: GMCR) and gives a $50 price target. Scott Van Winkle noted that earnings per share could exceed $1.00 for each 5% market penetration of the household market, and the report noted that 25% household penetration looks achievable. This comes on the heels of weekend reports that Starbucks has confirmed it is working on a new product for single-serve coffee machines and the indication is that Starbucks will sell brewers in its stores.
The research is not calling for a merger. A partnership is more likely. Van Winkle noted, " We continue to believe that a Starbucks-GMCR partnership will occur and now believe that the new partnership could revolve around the new Keurig brewer technology about to be tested. We view any potential partnership with Starbucks as a significant positive for brewer adoption." He also noted, "Our belief has been, and continues to be, that Starbucks coffee will be available for Keurig brewers later this year. A deal is inevitable…"
With Keurig's install base from Green Mountain Coffee running at about 5 million a year, this pondering seems more than reasonable. Weekend reports that Starbucks has a its own single-serve Ready Brew coming, and that is actually pressuring Green Mountain shares by about 4% rather than helping. The research report from this morning offers a differing take on the situation. The current Kraft-Starbucks pact ends on March 1. Howard Schultz may now believe that the company's best strategy from a financial reward stance will be to have 100% control and to keep all of the efforts inside the company. Stay tuned.

A Bakers Cyst knee is when there is swelling at the back of the knee which causes pain and stiffness. It was first discovered in the 19th century by Dr William Morrant Baker, and is also known as a popliteal cyst or knee cyst.
The cyst develops when there is swelling in the knee joint. Excess synovial fluid seeps backwards out of the joint and into the popliteal bursa - a small fluid filled sac that sits between the hamstring muscle tendons and knee bones to prevent friction. As the fluid enters the bursa it starts to swell, known as a Bakers Cyst. The average size of a popliteal cyst is 3cm.
The most common cause of a Bakers Cyst is osteoarthritis with 50% of arthritis sufferers developing a popliteal cyst at some point. However other conditions such as gout or any injury to the knee which produce swelling e.g. a cartilage tear can bring on the condition.
Popliteal cysts are most common over the age of 40 and tend to affect women more than men.
Here we will look at the classic symptoms associated with a Bakers Cyst, the best treatment options and how to prevent the condition from recurring in the future.
Any injury to the knee can cause swelling. Often a popliteal cyst is so small you don't even notice anything.
first symptom people feel is a small bulge behind the knee, a bit
like a small water balloon or squashy orange. This can grow and then cause pain behind the knee, tightness and stiffness, especially when you bend and straighten the knee. The pain tends to get worse with activity or when standing for long periods, easing with rest.
Diagnosis of a popliteal cyst is usually made by your doctor from what you tell him and what he can see. If there is any doubt the doctor can confirm the diagnosis of Bakers Knee Cyst by an ultrasound or MRI.
The symptoms of a ruptured Bakers Cyst can be similar to those of a DVT
(blood clot in the leg). If you experience pain in your calf
accompanied by any swelling, redness or heat, see your doctor immediately.
There are a number of things that can help to treat a popliteal cyst including:
Ice treatment helps to reduce the swelling which will help to reduce the pain. Click the link to find out how to use it safely and effectively. Visit the ice wrap section to find the best ways to apply ice.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) e.g. ibuprofen can help to reduce pain and swelling but should only ever be taken on advice of the doctor due to the potential side effects
Tightness in the muscles around the knee can aggravate a Bakers
Cyst by squashing it and therefore stretches can be a very effective way of resolving the
condition. Visit the Bakers Cyst Stretches section to find out what exercises can help
If the popliteal cyst is large or causing pain behind the knee, the excess fluid can be drained with a needle by your GP. However, the problem often recurs – see Preventing Recurrence below for tips on how to avoid this.
You may be offered a cortisone injection (mixture of steroid and local anaesthetic) by your doctor which works to reduce the swelling and reduce the pain behind the knee. Again, the effects are often short lived.
AKA short
wave diathermy, this form of electrotherapy can help to reduce the inflammation. This treatment is
usually carried out by a physiotherapist. I have found this to be an
effective treatment with a number of people suffering from a popliteal cyst.
In a minority of cases, surgery may be indication. This is usually the case if the popliteal cyst is a result of damage in the knee e.g. a cartilage tear or arthritis
Bakers Cysts frequently return, especially in people suffering from arthritis. Knee strengthening exercises
knee stretches
can often help to prevent a popliteal cyst returning. The stronger the
muscles get, the less force goes through the bones making it less
likely that the knee will swell which therefore prevents another knee
cyst from developing. This is especially the case when the popliteal cyst has developed due to arthritis. Visit the
knee arthritis
section to find out more about the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of arthritis of the knee.
Occasionally, a Bakers Knee Cyst bursts. The fluid then leaks down the back of your leg into your calf. This can cause swelling and/or a sharp pain in the calf. The fluid will gradually be reabsorbed into the body but this can take up to a month. Pain medication can be used to alleviate any discomfort.
People often have lots of questions about a popliteal cyst. In the FAQ's section, you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions relating to a bakers knee cyst such as what causes a Bakers Cyst to burst? Does it hurt to have it drained? Is it dangerous. Visit the Baker Cyst FAQ section to find out more.
There are other causes of swelling and pain behind the knee besides Bakers Cyst knee. Visit the knee pain diagnosis for help working out what is causing your knee pain.

Stacy Keach goes to 'Prison' for Fox
By ZAP2IT.COM
December 29, 2004
Fox has had a pretty good relationship recently with veteran tough-guy actor Stacy Keach. Perhaps that's why the network can get away with throwing him in jail. Keach is the latest addition to the network's rapidly developing "Prison Break" pilot. At least Keach will get to be in charge. The "Titus" co-star, who also has visited "Malcolm in the Middle" and "girls club" and lent his voice to "The Simpsons" and "Stupid Behavior Caught on Tape," will be a warden in the penitentiary...
Truth and other family issues in 'Desert Cities'
Chris Jones and Theater critic
November 14, 2011
In Jon Robin Baitz's compelling new play "Other Desert Cities," a powerful but troubled and secretive West Coast political family named the Wyeths is not much at home in the arid, infertile and generally parched deserts of the American West. This is not Tombstone, Ariz., of course - although Baitz's play deals with a family that has long ago lost a beloved child in circumstances mixed with crime and political anger - but Palm Springs, Calif., a place where two adult offspring...
Stacy Keach Makes A Flamboyant Return To His Classical Roots
By Mel Gussow, New York Times News Service
October 5, 1990
Stacy Keach leaps into the role of "Richard III" with diabolical delight and the gleefulness of an actor who knows he has a captive audience. A smile turns into a sneer as he begins his exploration at the Shakespeare Theater at the Folger in Washington. Keach's Richard seems to stage manage the action as well as his own performance, and his confidence is such that one fully expects him to give himself a good review. Moving quickly from the winter of his...

By Michael Phillips, TRIBUNE CRITIC
January 18, 2008
'Honeydripper' . The dogged independent filmmaker John Sayles makes his movies his own way, and while they're rarely visually distinctive -- Sayles' book "Thinking in Pictures" carries an odd title for a director who clearly thinks in writerly terms more than painterly ones -- the best of his efforts hand his cast members nice, meaty roles that don't insult anyone's taste or intelligence. In "Honeydripper," set in 1950 Alabama, Danny Glover plays Tyrone "Pinetop" Purvis, owner...
Stacy Keach
By Reporting: Christine Badowski
September 26, 2004
Keach is starring in Arthur Miller's new play, "Finishing The Picture," which runs through Oct. 31 at the Goodman Theatre. Where you live is pretty unusual for a Hollywood star, isn't it? We have a house outside Warsaw in Magdalenaka, Poland. My wife is Polish and her mother lives nearby. We also have a condo in L.A., and I spend time there, but we sold our place in Malibu. Two years ago, when we went [to Poland] my kids [16-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter] decided they wanted to go to the American...

For Stacy Keach, `Richard Iii` Heralds Winter Of His Content
By Michael Kilian
October 7, 1990
"A gat, a gat! My kingdom for a gat!" That isn`t quite the way the immortal Bard wrote those lines for the climactic battle scene of his monumental "Richard III," but it's what a number of stuffy Washingtonians expected to hear as they settled into their seats on the opening night of the Shakespeare Theater at the Folger's current production of the blood-spattered classic. The actor playing the hunchbacked, monstrous Richard, perhaps the greatest villain in...
Extreme 'Lear'
By Chris Jones, Tribune theater critic
September 21, 2006
You can set "King Lear" on the moon, or -- like the Goodman Theatre's endlessly audacious Robert Falls -- in a post-apocalyptic Eastern European world of guns, vodka, petty fiefdoms and crushing sexual cruelty. No matter. This great play will still try to spin around the same axis. You will either walk with Lear on his fall toward the most painful kind of self-knowledge or you will stand, open-mouthed in the nearby rubble, and stare coldly at a body hastening toward the same death that awaits us all. ...
True To The Spirit
By Michael Kilian
October 5, 1995
If the Immortal Bard were to appear in our midst like a ghost from one of his plays, which of the great Shakespearean actors of our age do you think he'd most enjoy seeing perform one of his masterpieces? I'd say: Mike Hammer. Which is to say, Stacy Keach, the big, burly, mustachioed, man's man of an actor who played Mike Hammer in the successful tough guy TV series of the same name. You may also recall Keach from the Civil War mini-series "The Blue and the Gray," as Frank James in the movie "the Long...
Keach is a classic case of being born too late
By Chris Jones, Tribune theater critic
September 17, 2006
In 2004, Stacy Keach experienced an actor's nirvana in Chicago: "Prison Break" for the Fox Broadcasting Co. by day and Arthur Miller's "Finishing the Picture" for the Goodman Theatre by night. "All of a sudden," Keach says, "I was almost like one of those British actors." You have to forgive Keach for having a bit of a beef with British actors and their ability to slide easily between film, television and theater. Ever since he appeared in the 1973 movie version of John...
Capital Theater
By Michael Kilian
March 12, 1992
Two American stage and screen stars especially popular in the nation's capital were welcomed back to its boards last week. Stacy Keach is appearing in a magic trick of a thriller comedy by Rupert Holmes called "Solitary Confinement," and Kelly McGillis is starring as a Sicilian Beatrice in a new production of Shakespeare's love comedy "Much Ado About Nothing." Keach's "Solitary," a kind of "Sleuth" played for laughs as much as for chills, was an overnight hit at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,...
Ultimate acts
By Sid Smith, Tribune arts critic
September 15, 2006
Taken together, they're tantamount to a theatrical Super Bowl. "Hamlet" is William Shakespeare's most popular play and "King Lear" is his greatest. For actors, the demands, pitfalls and opportunities are the limit of the profession. Hamlet's speeches evoke despair ("Oh, that this too too solid flesh would melt"), suicide ("To be or not to be") and spiritual surrender ("There's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will"). Lear, a mighty king robbed of his might and reduced to a homeless...

The Shakespeare Theatre Company of Washington, D.C., is announcing Wednesday that Falls' 2006 epic will be remounted on the stage of the Sidney Harman Hall in June 2009. Stacy Keach will once again play Lear, and many members of the original Chicago cast are expected to return. ---------- Personals was compiled by Kim Profant from Tribune news...
TV bird flu: Not entertaining at all, but scary

Two hundred twenty-seven. That's the number of pages in "The National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza," the Bush administration's just-released plan for if/when bird flu strikes the United States. Luckily, ABC has put together a digestible, though only mildly entertaining, movie primer -- starring leggy Joely Richardson, no less -- in "Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America" (7 p.m. Tuesday on WLS-Ch. 7).

A cheap hood who has a penchant for green convertibles is the only clue Mike Hammer (Stacy Keach) has for locating the thug who, while robbing a jewelry story, shot Hammer and an old buddy, Philly Brock, on "The New Mike Hammer" (7 p.m. Wednesday on CBS-Ch. 2). With Philly in a coma and Hammer himself suffering a gunshot wound, Mike sets out on a vengeful manhunt. But he has no clues, until another pal of Mike's learns about the guy's love of green convertibles....

Actor Stacy Keach has become a Chicago fixture these days, whether he's starring on the Goodman Theatre stage, as he was last season, or filming his role as the warden in the locally shot Fox drama, "Prison Break." Though his father grew up in Lincoln Park, "I had never spent any time in Chicago until the last year," Keach says. "Now it's my second home." Make that his third home. For the last three years, Keach has been commuting between a three-bedroom condo in Los...

Campbell is referring to "Man With the Screaming Brain," which he stars in, produced, wrote and directed, premiering Saturday on Sci Fi Channel.

In September, Trend Hunter covered the Fleshlight Motion, an adult toy shaped like an ottoman with an attached—cough—female body part. Now Adam Frucci from Gizmodo has actually used the Fleshlight Motion device and provides an interesting review.
While pointing out that the Fleshlight Motion is not exactly the most inconspicuous of sex toys, Frucci also comments, "...the male sex toy has never really caught on. Now that I've used one, I can see why." He goes on to state in his review that the Fleshlight Motion "feels like you're having sex with a CPR doll." Hmmm.

It's the end of the month already! July flew by, as I knew it would this year. We have a HUGE August this year with a new house and a baby coming – so of course time is flying now. However, we did still get some time to relax between packing, baby showers, and summer get together! Spent a week in Southwest Michigan a couple of weeks ago. It was great to have a vacation to do virtually nothing but sit in the sun for a week. We haven't had one of those in awhile!
For this month's Secret Recipe Club assignment, I was given the blog Chocolates and Dreams. Rituparna was actually assigned my blog last month, so we just did a little swap this time! She has a lot of very interesting recipes. Being from India, her style of cooking is different than mine, so there were a lot of unfamiliar dishes that I will need to try. Given the fact that our summer is so crazy this year…and half of my cooking utensils are already packed, I went with something easy this time. While in Michigan a little over a week ago, we did have a chance to pick some blueberries. I have always felt like blueberries go well with cornmeal, so I thought that they would be a nice addition to this recipe and make it a little more summery!
Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes, adapted from Chocolates and Dreams
- 1 cup cornmeal (it's best not to use stone ground if you want a finer texture)
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 4 Tablespoons flour
- 4 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2 Tablespoons grapeseed oil (or other unflavored oil)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) blueberries
In a bowl pour in the boiling water over the cornmeal till it is just covered. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Now add in the flour and sugar and mix. Now add in the egg, milk and oil. Mix till all the ingredients are incorporated with a whisk. Then add the baking powder. The powder will start to fizz a bit and the ingredients will suddenly start getting smooher. Now let the mix sit for 15 minutes. Heat a pan or griddle to medium low heat. Pour about 1/3 cup into the hot griddle, add a handful of blueberries and let cook till the surface has holes in it and it looks set. Now flip it over and let cook for another minute. Serve topped with maple syrup and powdered sugar.

Another season of ABC's The Bachelor has ended, and while every year the network promotes its "reality" show as the "most dramatic" or the "most emotional" season yet, without a doubt, this season was the most honest. It's not clear if ABC knew exactly what it was getting into when they cast Juan Pablo Galavis in the role of 'The Bachelor,' but what is clear is that this season exposed the ugly, backward nature of the show.
After casting Juan Pablo, who was previously a contestant on The Bachelorette, ABC probably thought they would get credit for breaking barriers. Galavis, the single father and American born Venezuelan, is the first non-white person to star in the title role of The Bachelor, or The Bachelorette, for that matter. But what they might not have anticipated is the way Juan Pablo would shatter the illusory "fairy-tale" that the show is based upon through a series of controversies. Though ABC is probably happy to be cashing in the extra publicity surrounding this season's turmoil, you have to wonder, did anyone bother to vet this guy?
Galavis was selected as 'The Bachelor' after becoming a "fan favorite" on the last season of The Bachelorette despite a small amount of screen time. But it wasn't long after his season of The Bachelor started airing in January that Galavis started chipping away at his likability quotient, making homophobic remarks during an interview where he used the word "pervert" in reference to gay people and said that having a gay 'Bachelor' would set a bad example for children. He later apologized to GLAAD while blaming his comments on the fact that English is his second language. But looking at the full context, it's clear this wasn't a simple matter of his true feelings being lost in translation.
Controversy also erupted from the show itself when Juan Pablo apparently had sex with one of the women in his harem well before the designated time producers deem extra-curricular activity socially appropriate. The next day Galavis "slut shamed" the woman, Clare, who ended up a finalist, scolding her for setting a bad example for his young daughter. He brought her to tears as he shifted the blame to her, as if he had nothing to do with their mutual act in the ocean.
Later, another woman on the show, Andi, made waves of another sort when she called out Juan Pablo for failing to take the time to actually get to know his suitors on a personal level. After spending a night in a "fantasy suite" with the 'Bachelor,' Andi revealed that Galavis didn't ask her any personal questions and seemed only interested in name-dropping and telling superficial stories about himself. The next day she confronted him. "Do you have any idea what religion I practice? What are my political views?" she asked. Galavis admitted he had no idea, and at this point in the show Andi was one of only three remaining women after 24 others had already been sent packing. In theory, Juan Pablo should have known her pretty well by then, if only he had bothered to regard the women on the show as actual human beings.
Andi decided not to wait for Juan Pablo to eliminate her in the next ridiculous and degrading "rose ceremony." She left on her own accord, making sure to explain to Galavis the "difference between being honest and being an asshole" on her way out.
All this was just a build up to what was one of the most pathetic, yet revealing, nights of television in recent memory, when the 'Bachelor' Juan Pablo had to decide between his two remaining suitors, Nikki and Clare, followed by a live hour of analysis in front of a studio audience on March 10th.
Before making his final decision, 'The Bachelor' is allowed to go on one last fairy-tale style date with each remaining woman. But while on a helicopter ride with Clare, the same women he shamed and humiliated earlier in the season, when the cameras weren't rolling, he took the opportunity to tell her he loved having sex with her even though he didn't really know her very well. Stunned by his open misogyny, Clare fought back tears as she explained what happened during a side-interview.
That night, she demanded an explanation from Galavis, who seemed more concerned with why Clare didn't give him a kiss the moment he walked through the door. After a lengthy exchange, Juan Pablo was able to appease Clare, convincing her that he respected her for more than just her physical appearance, even if his idea of complimenting her was also condescending in its own way. Given this reassurance in the final hour, she felt confident she would be the one chosen in the end and remained on the show for what she assumed would be a romantic proposal.
But when she stepped into the designated proposal area and stood before 'The Bachelor' he rather casually told her that he "had to say goodbye," as if she had meant virtually nothing to him, without the slightest regard for her feelings. He moved in for a final hug, but Clare put up both hands and blocked him, and as she stormed off camera, humiliated yet again, she told Juan Pablo that she wouldn't want her children to have a father like him. A few moments later, Galavis callously muttered to himself, "I'm glad I didn't pick her." A woman demanding respect was simply too much for him to comprehend.
In the wake of Season 18 of The Bachelor, it seems clear that Juan Pablo Galavis is not only homophobic, he harbors a hatred of women, too. Throughout the season he treated the women on the show as disposable objects. Every time he had a private conversation with one of his suitors he would condescendingly speak in tone one might use to address a small child or a pet, while constantly touching their faces and tucking their hair behind their ears; a misogynist acting in a way he thinks women will interpret as romantic. But in reality, the thoughts, ideas, and opinions of women were insignificant to him, and the women who in any way challenged his assumed right as a man to walk all over them with impunity were either sent home or realized who they were dealing with and walked out. Justifiably so, Juan Pablo has been unofficially labeled the "most hated" 'Bachelor' in the show's history by the fans.
But while it's obvious that he is a homophobic, misogynistic pig, what's important to recognize after all the controversy of this season is that Juan Pablo actually personifies the backward values The Bachelor has always embraced. The show is inherently misogynistic and promotes a truly unhealthy, unrealistic, and thoroughly reactionary view of romantic relationships and sex. Galavis might have been more crude and transparent, or, as he would say, "honest," about what was going on than previous 'Bachelors', but his actions were right in line with what the show inherently is at its core.
Take his homophobic comments, for example. Juan Pablo's hate for homosexuals made headlines, and ABC was forced to issue a statement distancing the network from its 'Bachelor,' but Chris Harrison, the host of the show, actually agrees with Galavis. Though Harrison claims that he supports gay rights in principle, he doesn't think having a gay 'Bachelor' would be a good marketing decision. To paraphrase, why mess with a profitable formula? It's safe to assume that Harrison's position is closely matched by his employer. The point here is that Juan Pablo's widely condemned homophobia is just (to use his own word) a more "honest" version of the same core values upheld by The Bachelor's network, ABC.
Also, take a look at Juan Pablo's apparent inability or unwillingness to see women as actual human beings with worthwhile thoughts and feelings. While not every 'Bachelor' has nakedly displayed this type of misogyny, The Bachelor is a "reality" show that's as unrealistic as can be. The basic scenario is condescending and degrading, giving one man the licence to wade through a sea of women, narrowing down his potential mates during designated "rose ceremonies". And instead of structuring the show so that each contestant has a fair and equal chance to build a relationship with the 'Bachelor,' the show intentionally forces the women to fight each other for "their time" with the show's star. If the goal of the show is truly to develop a meaningful romantic relationship, why set it up in such a way that encourages petty in-fighting rather than allowing the potential couples the time to get to know each other as human beings?
And there's the rub. The real objective is to reel in viewers with the contrived "drama," even if that means undermining the supposed central purpose of the show. So again, while Galavis might have been more openly indifferent to the women selected to seduce him than most previous 'Bachelor's, in actuality, he was simply acting out the mentality encouraged by the inherently debasing structure of the show, like everyone else has throughout all 17 previous seasons. ABC might have cast Juan Pablo as "the villain," but the show's audience should realize that he was simply a personification of the values The Bachelor has always upheld and encouraged from the beginning. The only difference is that Galavis doesn't bother to mask those reactionary values. He simply embodies them openly.
Now, critics of this analysis will undoubtedly point to ABC's female-centered spin-off The Bachelorette as proof of the network's innocence on the question of misogyny. But that show is also inherently problematic. While it's about a woman deciding the fate of a pool of men on The Bachelorette, the men competing for the lone woman still reap this society's benefits of manhood. Invariably for the 'Bachelorette' it's a process of weeding out the men who aren't there for the "right reasons," discovering who's attempting to cash in on quick fame rather than actually trying to develop a real relationship. On The Bachelor it's always about a man with total power deciding which woman can fit into his already established identity, while The Bachelorette is always about the woman carefully deciding which man to concede her power to.
Both versions of the show are sick and reinforce unhealthy gender stereotypes and relationship models. So while there might be a temptation to point to Juan Pablo as nothing more than a bad apple, an anomaly who somehow got his homophobia and misogyny past the show's casting directors, if you look closely you can see that he is actually the perfect ambassador for the warped values The Bachelor has always stood for.
One positive that came through during this train wreck of a television season is that in several key moments the women on the show stood up for themselves, powerfully asserting the idea that they aren't just sex objects to be tossed aside when a man decides he's done with them. They turned the tables on Juan Pablo by reclaiming their power and dignity, openly rejecting his misogyny and demanding respect. Each time this happened Galavis did his best to play off the moment as if it was no big deal. But under that casual dismissal was a palpable anger that a woman dared to challenge his authority. By the end, the audience, too, had completely turned on their former "fan favorite." Hopefully this will be a moment that illuminates the truth about the nature of The Bachelor and causes the show's loyal audience to question what they've been watching. Or, better yet, to stop watching altogether.

Vladimir Putin has been through a lot recently, including a divorce and a lot of weird business involving the Ukraine. If there's one thing the guy could use in a time of stress, it's a delicious taco.
But not so fast, Vlad. Don't come looking for any tacos from Mighty Taco in Buffalo, NY because you're not welcome. You've been banned. From Huffington Post:
Mighty Taco, a Buffalo-based chain of Mexican fast-foot restaurants, has banned Russian President Vladimir Putin from all of the company's 23 locations in western New York.
The company known for its quirky ads announced on social media this week that effective immediately, Putin is banned from Mighty Taco for seizing Crimea from Ukraine. Mighty Taco's posting says Putin may be ordering around Crimea, but he won't be ordering a Super Mighty, one of the chain's most popular menu items.
This could very well be the straw that breaks the camel's back for Putin. He might be able to survive sanctions from western nations and public condemnation of his actions, but there's little he can do against taco based warfare.
You might remember how Taco Bell came out on top during the Franchise Wars, showing the taco's strength and resolve. This might be the fight of your life Putin.

The 38-year-old actress is gearing up for the release of her new movie "People Like Us" and made a stylish appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" last night to talk about the comedy.
Elizabeth wore a bright Spring 2012 yellow metallic blouse and floral printed skirt by Dolce & Gabbana.
I often comment about the fact that Liz isn't afraid of going bold with color, but she really isn't. She doesn't just do it halfway either, there's something about her that makes the most vibrant prints truly pop and I think it has something to do with her infectious and funny personality. I love watching her interviews!
Liz wore her mid-length blonde tresses slightly waved before finishing off her look with metallic lemon-lime platform slingback "Flashback" sandals by Sergio Rossi along with a sapphire and gold cocktail ring.
What did you think of Elizabeth's bright yellow dress?

When Sam first laid eyes on Carly at a coffee shop, he knew she was something special. Que Landon Pigg's "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop" ;) Time flew and now they've begun their happily ever after. However, it's evident that Sam & Carly understand that living a happily married life takes more than daydreaming over lattes. As part of their ceremony, in addition to their "I do's", Sam & Carly gave beautifully written personal vows with the depth of commitment and dedication throughout. Most people would stop there, but they also incorporated the foundations of Dr. John Gottman marriage counsel. (Gottman is an author and professor known for his very extensive study and literature – all on making marriage last.)
Sam & Carly, your vows to one another were beautiful and exemplified a maturity that was inspiring. So much so, it had a several-years-married-with-a-baby couple like us talking and evaluating our own relationship. Thank you both for allowing us to be a part of your special day and experience the honesty and commitment you share with each other. We wish you all the best!

I got the saw without thinking about my cross-cuts. My radial saw is broken, and I would rather make my 33" cuts in a single cut anyway (without flipping the board). This saw cuts a maximum 30 1/2". The end piece for a 36" cabinet on a 3 1/2" kick is 32 1/4". The dividers are 31". Just don't try to make cabinets with this saw?

How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
I have also heard of people shifting over a bolt hole to gain extra cutting capacity, as many like myself don't ever move the fence to the left side of the blade. This should give you an extra 8 inches to the right of the blade.

Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
Get a helper and make the cut with the 33" dimension on the LH side of the blade.I decided to change calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
1. remove the fence
2. clamp a straitedge on the underside of the material that needs to be cut. the straightedge should be clamped so it rides on the exposed edge of the left side extension table.
3. start saw and make cut carefully, exercising all necessary anti-kickback precautions.
4. for example, if the distance from the right side of the blade to the exposed edge of the left side extension table is 15", the straightedge would be clamped 48 1/8" from the right edge of the material (the good, kept, side) assuming a 60" piece of material and you want to cut off a 33" piece (33+15+1/8).
5. in short, use the exposed edge of the left side extension table as a "fence". just be certain that the exposed edge is parallel to the blade and that the straightedge is perfectly straight.there's a solution to every problem.....you just have to be willing to find it.
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
I agree with Finer, I needed to cut a 45* at the end of an 4x8 sheet of plywood I screwed a stright edge into the ply and slid on the edge of the tablesaw top. Worked out really well.
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
i just reviewed a photo of the 4511 and it doesn't have an exposed left side extension wing like the 3660. but there should be enough room between the top of the rails and the top of the wings to attach a 1/2" straight edge, so the technique should still be applicable.there's a solution to every problem.....you just have to be willing to find it.
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
You can carefully set up to take your finished piece off the left side of the blade as previously suggested, and this is probably the way to go for one or two pieces. But if you have to make a lot of cabinets, I generally feel that the best and most consistent cuts come from getting your finished dimension between the blade and the fence, rather than using the "offcut". You should be able to modify your fence rail mounting. However much you shift things to the right, you lose that much on the other side. Fortunately you probably don't need to use the other side all that much. I have a TS3650, which has 36" rip (actually a bit more) which was a fairly big reason I chose that saw in the first place.
Before that, I had a 20 year old saw (grizzly) with insufficient rip capacity, even with the fence rails shifted. I added a Beismeyer to to solve the problem. The older grizzly fence was pure junk, anyway.
Before that, a plywood blade in a portable circ saw with a clamped on straightedge worked for me. The edge you get isn't near good enough for cabinet or furniture, so I would then clamp the straightedge again and run a router to get a perfectly clean edge. I still do this for really big pieces of ply. It works, but takes time to get the straightedge aligned so things end up perfectly square. Having enough capacity on the tablesaw makes the job so much faster and easier.
I'm curious about your design, though. In these parts, a 36" cabinet is normally 36" to the top surface of the countertop. I always allow 1-1/2 for the countertop thickness. If you cut the kick into the sidepanel, this says your sides will be 34-1/2. If you're mounting your cabinet boxes on a separate 3-1/2 pedestal to get your kick, then the sides will be 31. How do you come up with 32-1/4 sides?? Also, I build my cabinet dividers so they set into either 1/4 or 3/8 deep dadoes in the 3/4 ply cabinet bottom (often the ply is only 0.700 to 0.720 thick, so I adjust dado depth accordingly). So, for a 36" carcass with a 3-1/2 kick, the divider would be somewhere around 30-1/2 to 30-5/8 if you set the bottom panel flush to the bottom of the face frame. I usually do just the opposite, though, preferring to make the bottom panel flush with the inside edge of the face frame. So the dividers end up being even shorter. I like the look and it saves a little plywood. Just curious about your numbers, as I always like to see what I can learn from other people's methods. This only matters to you because if you relocate your fence rails, you need to make sure that you get enough out of the relocation to do your job.
My normal approach, btw, is to cut the sides to 35-1/4, and increase the kick to 4.25. This is because I generally install cabinets before the flooring goes in, and I allow a total of 3/4 for the tile backer, thinset and tile. If the tile install will use a mudbed, I allow even more (i.e., make the cabinets taller still) because the mud bed should be at least an inch thick. By making the cabinets taller, I get the countertop pretty close to 36" above the finished floor with a 3-1/2 kick as measured from the tile.
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
How about building a cross cut sled. Then you can cut any length that will fit between your walls. If you build it deep enough, say to handle 24" wide stock, then you can cross cut your cabinet sides to whatever length they need to be.
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
Seconded. Either build a cross cut sled or maybe even use a skilsaw with a fine toothed blade and a straight edge on a couple of sawhorses. Or clamp a straightedge to the bottom and use the table saw.
Re: How cut 33" plywood on granite-top saw
There will be always situations when your TS with the rip capacity just short of that 1".
I second the seconded post (do I "third" it?). Circular saw with a strait edge guide. In fact I got one of those for the precious few situation that my 3650 (37" rip capacity) can't handle.In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.

The Acorn
While there is no shortage of restaurants in Vancouver serving vegetarian fare, somehow they all feel like relics from the city's hippie past. There is something about vegetarian and vegan food that people immediately associate with yoga and didgeridoos, and a cuisine that is homestyle at best. The latest addition to the Riley Park neighbourhood, The Acorn, is looking to obliterate these common perceptions, serving up delectable and inspired dishes that even the staunchest carnivore can't help but love. And from the crowds that gather on the corner of Main and 24th each evening, queuing up for a table at this intimate venue, it would appear that The Acorn has already succeeded on this front.
The brainchild of Shira Blustein and chef Brian Skinner (who cut his teeth working at Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe), The Acorn has quickly become one of our favourite spots in the city. It is so refreshing to encounter a restaurant that is this experimental with flavours, pairing seemingly disparate ingredients with astonishing results. Its menu, which draws on the best local produce available, is eclectic, interesting and completely unlike anything else currently on offer in Vancouver's rapidly expanding restaurant scene. While we are undoubtedly easy sells, having been fans of vegetarian cuisine for years, we dined at The Acorn with friends who typically don't consider a meal complete without a piece of meat, and even they were seduced by the expertly prepared dishes presented.
While everything that we've sampled has been incredible, the kale salad (The Acorn's take on the classic Caesar), a heaping bowl of fresh, delicious kale, sun-dried olives, capers and tempeh, is among our favourites. The polenta fries are a must-have – order a few rounds for the table as these deep-fried, but not greasy, treats are a real crowd pleaser. The mains are all exceptional and we love that The Acorn has a daily harvest – a dish that changes regularly based on what's been sourced from local farms – and in our experience this is where the chef is at his most creative and experimental. The beer-battered Halloumi is also superb, and while the Zucchini Tagliatelle may seem too adventurous for those unfamiliar with raw food, it is truly a delight with a rich cashew rosé sauce that pairs nicely with the crispness of the vegetables. The plating is also remarkable; clearly as much care and attention is put into presentation as is devoted to the food production.
The Acorn is the sort of restaurant that as soon as your meal is complete you're already hankering to return to try something else. We were so intrigued by the concept that we asked co-owner Shira Blustein if she would be willing to answer a few questions and she was kind enough to oblige:
Here and Elsewhere: This is your first foray into the restaurant world – what made you decide to open The Acorn? Have you always been passionate about food?
Shira Blustein: I'm someone who wears many hats, and switches them frequently, but food has always been my passion. I was fortunate to grow up in a home where delicious and nutritious meals were always prepared, and my Ma was eager to share recipes passed down through the generations. Making the choice to go vegetarian in Calgary in the early nineties was a tough one as the consciousness around food was different back then. It was touring in bands that really opened my eyes to the culinary possibilities out there. I can't pinpoint the moment when I decided I wanted to open a restaurant – but I can trace my long-term frustration with Vancouver's laissez-faire vegetarian dining scene. Last year when my close friend Brian Skinner (Co-Founder / Chef) returned from London and a hi-end vegetarian restaurant still didn't exist in Vancouver, I knew we had to do it. It was out of need really… If we didn't do it… who would??
H&E: While there are a number of vegetarian restaurants in Vancouver there really is nothing quite like The Acorn. What we love most is that the dishes rival the city's top restaurants in terms of flavour and innovation, yet only use vegetarian ingredients. How did you come up with the concept?
SB: Our restaurant concept was always going to be a high-end vegetarian, but we didn't know what that would look like initially. Brian spent the last 5 years honing his skills working at Michelin starred venues like Viajante, Sketch and staging at Noma so I was confident in his ability to push the boundaries of vegetarian food, but even I was amazed at his creativity and flair. Between Brian, our Sous Chef – Joel Panlilio (formerly of West), and the rest of our amazing kitchen team, they're working with local and seasonal produce innovatively, designing dishes to be a sensory delight to the palate.
H&E: The menu is quite an electric offering fusing a variety of cuisines with a west coast sensibility – how did you craft the menu? Did you look to other cuisines from around the world for inspiration?
SB: Brian and I tossed around a lot of ideas for what we wanted to do with the menu. We knew the food had to be innovative for Vancouver and not just another venue for meat substitutes or depository for brown rice and tofu. Upon realizing that our target demographic wasn't just vegetarians, but omnivores, we understood that the food had to be that much better since there are more than a few skeptics out there.
Vegetarians can always look to international cuisines when dining out. Take Indian or Thai food for example. Our goal was/is to work with local and seasonal ingredients as much as possible, which gives us that west coast flair. We didn't want to emulate other restaurants where the single vegetarian option is an afterthought. So much care and attention to detail was put into designing the menu – which is ultimately Brian's brainchild.
Since opening we've had meat and potato customers leave happy and full – and that was something we were looking to achieve. Not turning anyone vegetarian per se, but altering the way people think about vegetables.
H&E: We really love the space – it's welcoming and inviting while still retaining a chicness about it. It also is in perfect harmony with the food being served, creating a quite cohesive overall concept. Can you talk a bit about the design process and what you were hoping to create with the space?
SB: I scoured Vancouver, looking not just for a location that would fit our basic needs, but one that could be a cornerstone of the neighborhood. Ending up with the old location of Cipriano's, formerly one of Vancouver's best-known Italian eateries, for The Acorn was a real score for us. And Main Street, my long time home, seems to draw like-minded individuals – ones who are truly receptive to what we're doing with our restaurant.
Originally we weren't going to hire a professional designer to help us, as it wasn't in our budget, but somehow we found ourselves sitting down with Scott Cohen (Les Faux Bourgeois, Maenam, Nuba) to talk about creating a cozy space for The Acorn. It was a truly energetic process that was extremely rewarding. Scott eventually produced what we feel is a cohesive, timeless design that compliments the layout of the room. We kept the floors, accordion windows, and old Cipriano's chairs, which we re-upholstered, and added depth to the white walls by creating shadows wherever possible. We referenced the naturally occurring angles of the room and softened the space with an ebony stained wood ceiling. The only art in the room are the mirrors designed by Henderson Dry Goods and the plants lining the walls. We also worked with Glasfurd & Walker to develop our brand design. The space, food, and design really all came together in a very magical way.
Little known fact about The Acorn – we can serve until 1am on weekdays and 2am on Fridays/Saturdays so we're hoping The Acorn will also double as a neighbourhood spot for people to hang out and have a late night drink.
H&E: Thanks so much Shira for taking the time to answer our questions!

Pope's message to resonate with rich and poor
Updated 12:52 am, Wednesday, September 23, 2015
As he mixes with the mighty and ministers to the downtrodden in the nation's capital, Pope Francis is delivering his progressive message of tolerance and mercy — a world view that has brought joy to many Catholics and headaches to some others.
And arguably nowhere in America does that message resonate more intensely than diverse southwestern Connecticut, where the wealth gap is a fact of life.
"As I travel the well-off circles of my district, I will pay the wealthy the honor that most understand — the obligation to the poor and how much of a challenge it is to the world if rewards are not more broadly shared," said Rep. Jim Himes, whose district incorporates struggling Bridgeport as well as wealthy Greenwich and New Caanan. "Unless the pope calls for the overthrow of the capitalist system, I think most people will welcome his message."

Most likely you will just have to go and show proof of classes and complying with court orders as part of summary probation. Probation may also submit a report. You should check in with your probation officer and make sure you are in compliance with everything you are supposed to do. Make sure you have paid all of your fees prior to going into court.

There is no way of knowing what the judge will do without reviewing all your probation and sentencing terms, and your proof of compliance. You have been sentenced and ordered to do certain things. The judge will review your proofs of progress and completion to decide whether to order you to jail or not. This is all information and procedure your attorney should have explained at the time. If serious about hiring counsel to consult with or represent you in this, feel free to contact me.

If the judge said you would serve 90 days that can mean you will serve 90 days or it can mean you could do 90 days depending upon how you do in the drug classes. You need to speak to your lawyer about this as I assume you have a lawyer on your case that you have retained.

Why the more leads generated isn't just better
We all are eager to get more leads. Each lead gets us some kind of thrill or adrenaline due to the perceived projected revenues and great future each can bring.
If possible we would like to grab all opportunities to generate leads.
Leads Quantity
However the more sales leads that are generated the more sales people that are required to follow-up as a salesman can only handle a certain amount of leads. The number of leads a salesman can effectively handle varies from business to business in the same industry and from industry to industry. The lead handling number per salesman depends on the kind of business, industry and revenue size of deals.
In most cases and for most businesses hiring more salesmen is just not possible as they need to get searched, found, evaluated and hired. An once a salesmen is hired, he needs to get training and gather experience in the market and with the customers or potential customers.
There is a limiting capacity problem to the number of leads a company can handle due to the limited number of sales people a company can support financially and manage.
Lead Qualification
Generating more leads is a good start, but implies that each lead before it gets passed on to the salesman requires decent lead qualification. This needs to be done systematically and using a uniform method across all leads of a company. If not then the salesmen will waste their time on leads having less potential.
Hence lead qualification is utmost important for the success and sustainability of any company.
Lead Quality
Instead of generating many leads requiring a large capacity in processing, qualifying and following up on all those leads, generating just quality leads is much more profitable and more beneficial for the company as it creates less overhead for the sales team.
The quest is to generate quality leads instead of a massive amount of leads. This requires to tune and target your marketing in order to get the best leads only. In order to achieve this you will need to define your type of quality leads and trial and error in order to find out what will generate the quality leads you need.
However as markets and customer requirements change and your products change too over time, this tuning and targeting will be continuous process.
Less is more.
Are you generating massive amount of leads or mainly quality leads?
