Welcome to literary New York! Dorothy Parker is the wisecracking sleuth in the humorous historical mystery You Might as Well Die, the second book in The Algonquin Round Table Mysteries.
When second-rate illustrator Ernie MacGuffin's artistic works triple in value following his apparent suicide off the Brooklyn Bridge, Dorothy smells something fishy. Enlisting the help of magician and skeptic Harry Houdini, she goes to a séance held by MacGuffin's mistress, where Ernie's ghostly voice seems hauntingly real . . .
Susanne Alleyn: Delighted to meet you, Mrs. Parker! What year is it now for you, and why do you live where you do?
Dorothy Parker: It's the Roaring 20s in New York City. Why do I live here, you ask? Where else would I live? Dubuque? I'm a New Yorker through and through. And not just New York, but Manhattan. I get a nosebleed if I travel above 80th Street.
I'm a writer, unfortunately. And if you want to make a living and get published in America at this time, New York is the place to do it.
SA: What do you love most about the time and place in which you live?
Dorothy: I'm not much for sentimentality, but nevertheless I'll tell you this—what I love most about my life and times is my group of friends. Many people call us The Vicious Circle. (That should confirm for you what I meant about sentimentality.) Others call our group The Algonquin Round Table because, you know, we have lunch at the Algonquin Hotel at a round table every day. (Very original, don't you think?) We're a gang of smart-mouthed writers, editors and critics. And we do what all writers do—we try to get away with as little writing as possible, and we drink and talk and trade insults instead.
The founding members of the Algonquin Round Table: Art Samuels, Charlie MacArthur, Harpo Marx, Dorothy Parker and Alexander Woollcott
SA: What aspect of your world would you change, if you could?
Dorothy: I'd start by adding a few zeros to my bank balance, and then I'd just play the rest by ear. There's a dozen newspapers published in this town, and who knows how many magazines? They're great about printing the news, but not one of them can print a nice check.
Also, I'd like to change what people think of me. They know me as a wisecracker, saying things like, "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses." Or "Brevity is the soul of lingerie." But I'm much more than a smart aleck. I write poetry, short stories and dramatic criticism—and some of it ain't half bad, if I do say so myself.
(Editor's note: The Portable Dorothy Parker, a collection of her best work, has never gone out of print since it was first published in 1944.)
SA: Most New Yorkers came from somewhere else. Where were you born?
Dorothy: Remember what I said about being a New Yorker through and through? Okay, I fibbed a little. I'm technically not a native New Yorker. I was actually born in the seaside town of Long Branch, New Jersey, while my family was on summer vacation in 1893. But, honestly, we came back into town right after Labor Day, so I nearly made the grade.
SA: When did you begin to solve mysteries?
Dorothy: In all honesty, I'm not preoccupied with solving mysteries. I'm a writer, for Pete's sake… Well, I did find that dead drama critic under the Algonquin Round Table, who was stabbed through the heart with a fountain pen, and I had to help find out how he got there and who put him there. And now there's a friend-of-a-friend who committed suicide under mysterious circumstances…
But my biggest mystery is always where to find the next cocktail.
SA: How is law and order maintained in New York in the Twenties?
Dorothy: Very poorly! Prohibition is on. There's a speakeasy on every street and a flask in every back pocket. Bootleggers run rampant. (One almost knocked me over the other day!) Most of the cops are on the take. And gambling is a national pastime.
But, hey, ain't we got fun!
SA: Tell me about your most recent investigation.
Dorothy: Right now, I'm trying to find out why a friend—well, no, not a friend, let's call him a royal pain in the neck—decided to commit suicide. This guy was not some hand-wringing nervous wreck. Far from it. Ernie MacGuffin is—was—about the most self-assured, self-deluded second-rate artist in New York (and that's saying something). Why would he take a nosedive off the Brooklyn Bridge? And then why would his "spirit" (notice the quotation marks) appear at a séance a week later?
Fortunately, I've made friends with Harry Houdini, who is not only a master magician but also a top-notch debunker of phony mediums. One way or the other, we'll get to the bottom of what happened to MacGuffin.
SA: In the course of your investigations, who is the most interesting historical figure you've met so far, and why?
Dorothy: As I mentioned, I'm working with Harry Houdini right now. He's gotten us out of a couple tight scrapes. But being in and around the Algonquin Hotel, I've met plenty of famous (and infamous) folks. Ever heard of William Faulkner, Douglas Fairbanks or Cole Porter? How about Paul Robeson or Edna Ferber? Oh, and there's a fellow scribbler by the name of Ernest Hemingway. Keep an eye on him. I expect big things of him someday.
But perhaps the most important notable figure in my life is Woodrow Wilson—which is the name of my dog.
SA: If your cases were made into movies or a television series, which actor do you think would do the best job of portraying you?
Dorothy: Funny you should ask. Several actresses—my friend Ruth Gordon, for one—have portrayed characters that were fictional versions of me. It's gotten to the point that if I wrote a screenplay about my own life, I'd be sued for plagiarism.
But who cares who would play me in a movie? I want to know who would play my love interest! I like the look of that Johnny Depp—the one in the pirate movies. Shiver me timbers, I'd walk his plank any day!
(Editor's note: Readers can play this game, too. Vote here for which contemporary actress might play Dorothy Parker in a movie.)

Magento Admin login problem
I had a new installation of magento. But I was unable to login as an administrator. I went
to the admin login page, entered correct username and password but was redirected to the
same login page. I could not enter the dashboard page. Error message is displayed when I
enter wrong username or password. But nothing is displayed and I am redirected to the same
login page when I insert correct username and password.
I googled and found these solutions:-
1) Use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in your url, i.e. using
http://127.0.0.1/magento/index.php/admin instead of
http://localhost/magento/index.php/admin . But this didn't solve my problem.
2) Since I am using Windows XP, I was suggested to open "host" file from
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and have 127.0.0.1 point to something like magento.localhost
or even 127.0.0.1 point to http://www.localhost.com . But this also didn't work either.
3) This solution finally helped me out of this problem. The solution was to modify the core
Magento code. Open
app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php. Comment out the
lines 80 to 83. The line number may vary according to the Magento version. These lines
are present somewhere near line 80. You have to comment the comma (,) in line: $this-
NOTE: Editing Core File is NOT a good practice. It is better to make a local copy of core file. Copy app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php to app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php and edit it.
// set session cookie params session_set_cookie_params( $this->getCookie()->getLifetime(), $this->getCookie()->getPath()//, //$this->getCookie()->getDomain(), //$this->getCookie()->isSecure(), //$this->getCookie()->getHttponly() );
Well, I am out of this problem. Hope, this solution you also help you.
Update (For Magento 1.4.*)
In Magento 1.4, you have to comment code from line 86 to 98 in
NOTE: Editing Core File is NOT a good practice. It is better to make a local copy of core file. Copy app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php to app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php and edit it.
Like this:-
/* if (!$cookieParams['httponly']) { unset($cookieParams['httponly']); if (!$cookieParams['secure']) { unset($cookieParams['secure']); if (!$cookieParams['domain']) { unset($cookieParams['domain']); } } } if (isset($cookieParams['domain'])) { $cookieParams['domain'] = $cookie->getDomain(); } */

When we think we have no options, can we change our perception? Does having options make us happier?
Like with "everything", so too there "is" a paradox of choice.
1. Are we happier when we think we have a choice?
2. What if circumstances are such that there "are" no choices, e.g. during the holocaust. Lessons learned indicate that perceiving a choice in such circumstances can create "happiness".
3. Can too much choice, create unhappiness?
4. Are there different types of choices?
5. Whose responsibility is it to change our perception?
6. In any given situation, would you try to change the circumstances before you try to change your perspective?
7. Can the economics of happiness be separated from the economics of things/consumerism?

As we look forward to a summer of activity by the Edmonton Oilers, I think one of the key areas might be communication. Nail Yakupov was a rookie two years ago, Dallas Eakins went through the experience this year. Maybe they'll never click, maybe Yakupov will score 30 goals a year in another NHL city. I keep coming back to Eakins being a bright guy, and understanding that people with Yak's God-given skills don't come along every day.
It seems to me a smart coach would understand what he has, make allowances for the shortfalls of the kid, and put him in a position to succeed. That's always the way of successful teams, isn't it obvious? Unless there's something I'm missing, this Oilers team should spend part of the offseason:
- formulating ways to feature Yakupov more on the power play
- finding him a center who is suitable, like Horcoff was for Hall and Eberle when they were kids
- understanding his limitations without the puck are because of inexperience and not being familiar, as opposed to laziness or a stubborn way.
The deeper I get into this spring, the more I wonder about Dallas Eakins and Nail Yakupov. They may never be tight, but they sure as hell need each other. I think the coach needs to find a way to make Nail Yakupov a bigger part of the team.
Even with his imperfections. Dallas Eakins' career in Edmonton may depend on it.

Pies on Film: Waitress
In 2007's "Waitress," Keri Russell's character Jenna is an unhappily married waitress who doesn't want no trouble and doesn't need no baby — she just wants to make pies.
Read on for a clip from this delightful (at times sad) movie, and recipes for some of Jenna's pies.
Strange as they may sound, Jenna's creations are actually quite tasty, and she's known by her fellow waitresses as a "pie genius." Ultimately, her pies help Jenna find happiness – although not necessarily in the way she expects.
Check out the links below for recipes from the movie, including the Marshmallow Mermaid Pie Jenna makes for Dr. Pomatter.

That was a great movie.
This was a really good movie. I recommend it, but only if you have access to pie during the movie!!
I loved this movie! Thanks to Jenna I also try and come up with clever pie names for my family to enjoy!
I love and hate this movie: love the pies, hate the abuse she puts up with. Hate to think that there are probably a bunch of women out there just like her (maybe without the crazy/cool pie invention thingy).
Love this movie!
We actually started a Pie making Group because of this movie!
For anyone interested in joining us, head over to http://pieswiththat.blogspot.com - we just announced our theme for December, you'll love it!! Join us!
Thanks for the pie links! How can you not crave pie after watching this movie.

On July and August evenings, try finding two stars in the constellation Libra with the coolest of all star names: Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali. They're located in between two of the sky's brightest stars, Antares in the constellation Scorpius and Spica in the constellation Virgo. In 2014, you'll see the golden planet Saturn shining in between these two Libra stars, and the red planet Mars coupling up with Spica. About one month from now – on August 27 – Mars will meet up with Saturn in the constellation Libra.
If you live at mid-northern latitudes – North America, Europe or Asia – you'll see these Libra stars rather low in your south to southwestern sky at nightfall and early evening. As seen from middle latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere – for example, in Australia – Libra's stars shine close to overhead as darkness falls at this time of year.
Looking for info on meteor showers? Click here
No matter where you live, from any location around the world, the stars Antares and Spica can help guide you to Libra's two brightest stars. In 2014, the ringed planet Saturn shines north of the ecliptic, and in between the Libra stars Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali. By the way, you can distinguish ruddy Antares, golden Saturn, the red planet Mars and blue-white Spica by color. If you can't discern color with the eye alone, try looking at these colorful gems with binoculars. Or better yet, view Saturn's gorgeous rings with a telescope.
In any year, look for Zubenelgenubi midway between Antares and Spica. Meanwhile, Zubeneschamali lies about one fist-width from Zubenelgenubi. Hold your fist an arm length away.
Antares, Zubenelgenubi and Spica are stars of the Zodiac, or legendary Pathway of Animals that resides in our sky. This band around our sky marks the sun's annual pathway in front of the backdrop stars. Nowadays, astronomers are more likely to speak of the ecliptic, which is more or less the same thing; the ecliptic is defined differently, as the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun. Zodiac and ecliptic both mean a band around the sky, in front of which the sun travels throughout the year. If you could see stars during the daytime, you'd see the stars of the Zodiac. The sun sweeps near these stars, pairing up with Spica in middle October, Zubenelgenubi on or near November 7 and Antares on or near December 1.
Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali were once seen in western culture as being part of the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion. They represented the Scorpion's Claws. In some cultures, though, these stars' location on and near the ecliptic has given them a special fame. That is, they've been seen as a celestial Gateway, because the sun, moon and planets all at times move between them.
Bottom line: Look for two stars in the constellation Libra the Scales: Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali. They're located in between two of the sky's brightest stars, Antares in the constellation Scorpius and Spica in the constellation Virgo. In 2013, you'll also see the planet Saturn shining in between the Libra stars and Spica.

Russians protest against Putin and voter fraud
There have been a lot of demonstrations in Russia these days filled with allegations of voter fraud. Vladimir Putin has admitted there were violations of electoral law during his recent presidential-election win but brushed off claims of a 10-per-cent boost to his vote, saying the malpractice was too insignificant to influence the result.
This is rather bizarre. Putin admits rigging but sluffs it off by claiming it is insignificant. Vote rigging is significant. It is illegal and immoral. Back in the day, dictators would rise and oppress the people. Now the snakes in the grass enter from within and steal democracy through fraud. Buyer beware. Our freedom is still at stake.
More than 500 protesters jailed by Russian police
Police said they arrested 250 people in Moscow and 300 in St. Petersburg after moving in roughly to break up rallies claiming that Sunday's polls were rigged.
Some 20,000 anti-Putin protesters had turned out in Pushkin Square in central Moscow chanting "Russia Yes! Putin No!" Most of the rally dispersed peacefully but police moved in to disperse hundreds of people who refused to leave the square.

Exmouth is located approximately 1270 km north of Perth, on the West Australian central coast, and is arguably one of the most beautiful and exotic holiday destinations in Australia. The township itself is a rather small settlement comprising roughly 1900 permanent residents
however, during the tourist season this number triples, with holiday makers flocking to the area to enjoy the amazing sights, activities and accommodation on offer.
Travellers staying in Exmouth will be amazed by the sheer number of things to see and do; some of the more popular of which are: whale watching, surfing, boating, bush walking, snorkelling, fishing, diving and exploring. The major tourist draw card in Exmouth however, is the once in a lifetime opportunity to swim with the endangered whale sharks, that inhabit the region during the winter months.
Ningaloo Reef, located just off the coast of Exmouth is the only known location in the world, which regularly plays host to the extremely rare whale shark, and as such, numerous tour companies offer travellers the opportunity to swim, snorkel and dive with these 10 metre long filter-feeding giants. Tours also generally offer pickup and drop-off from services from local holiday accommodation, food, wetsuits, and other essential equipment, which means that all travellers need to do is sit back and wonder at these gentle deep-sea mammoths.
Aside from diving with whale sharks, the rich tropical waters around Exmouth also provide international visitors with the opportunity to undertake numerous other exciting water-based activities. As with most holiday destinations in Western Australia, Exmouth is in close proximity to numerous fantastic surf beaches, such as Surfers Beach or 'Dunes', which is located only 17 km from most holiday rentals in the area.
Sea kayaking is also an activity growing in popularity in Exmouth. What better way to explore the sheltered lagoons of the Ningaloo Reef than by being right on top of the crystal clear water in a comfortable kayak. Capricorn Seakayaking offer fantastic tours out of Exmouth.
Travellers who are not interested in surfing or being on top of the water, can instead test their fishing skills from the beach or the rugged coastline, or try one of the numerous fishing charters scattered throughout Exmouth. Snorkelling and diving are also a must, as Ningaloo Reef, which sits just off the coast is extremely biodiverse, practically untouched, and easily accessed from the beach in some places, making it perfect for novice snorkelers and experienced divers alike.
Although the ocean is undoubtedly the main attraction in Exmouth, the terrestrial landscape in the region also has a great deal to offer. Cape Range National Park, located only 40 km from Exmouth encompasses breathtaking limestone ranges, which stretch all the way to the ocean, making for an amazing contrast of landscapes. The park also offers some great four wheel drive and bush walking tracks, which really allow travellers to get up close to the Australian wilderness and wildlife. Holiday makers visiting Cape Range National Park may be lucky enough to see wallabies, rare sea birds, and even turtles, however, even if these Aussie natives fail to appear travellers are still guaranteed to get some great photos to admire back to their holiday home.
Travellers more interested in the Australian flora than fauna are also spoilt for choice in Exmouth, as the region is home to an amazing display of Western Australian wild flowers during certain seasons. Holiday makers interested in seeing this spectacle can undertake the 'Cape Range Trail', which is a pre-planned route incorporating wildflower hot spots surrounding Exmouth, such as Coral Bay and Shothole Canyon. A copy of the wildflower holiday guide, in which this route is outlined, is available from many holiday accommodation providers in Exmouth, or via the internet.
Exmouth is the ideal holiday destination when it comes to the climate, as the region generally experiences warm dry weather year round. The summer months can however, tend to be quite hot, meaning that the best time to visit Exmouth is generally from April through to September. During this time period you will experience temperatures averaging from the high 20's to the low 30's - perfect weather to enjoy the beach and all the water based activities on offer! If you really enjoy the heat, you can visit in the summer months when temperatures quite regularly top 40 degrees Celsius.
As Exmouth is located roughly 1270 km north of Perth, it is recommended that travellers fly from Perth to Exmouth utilising either Qantas or Skywest Airlines. All of Australia's major airlines fly to Perth from a wide variety of locations around the country, with flights available multiple times per day. More adventurous travellers may however, like to rent a car and take a long road trip up the stunning West Australian coast, in order to experience the Australian landscape before arriving exhausted at their luxury Exmouth holiday rental.
The most amazing experience of our lives almost didn't happen. We were so worried about the kids being sea sick or being too scared to swim with whale sharks, we almost didn't book. We negotiated a good price for the five of us (three kids) and waited patiently for the day to arrive. With sea sick tablets in tow, we headed to Ningaloo Reef with our tour guides and small party of around 18 people.
The boat was amazing and the food a good distraction while getting out to the reef. I cannot believe how adventurous our kids are - especially our four year old who has never snorkelled before and after 'kitting up' stepped off the back of the boat into the middle of the ocean. We saw some amazing wildlife including giant turtles, gorgeous colored fish and coral.
At this time, the boats sends up a spotter plane to find where the whale sharks are. We hop back on board and eat lunch while the boat heads toward the position of the whale shark. Again, our kids didn't disappoint and when the word was given, they stepped off that boat knowing they were going to see the biggest fish in the ocean. It was difficult to keep up as the whale shark, while it looks like it's barely moving, is going at quite a speed.
I cannot describe the feeling of swimming along side something so large and graceful. We got 5 or 6 swims with the shark and also saw humpback whales putting on a tail thrashing show as well. It was difficult to decide what to do - to hop in the water to swim with the whale shark or to stay on the boat and watch the humpbacks! An amazing day was had by all. If you want to see some amazing wildlife, Exmouth is the place to go!

Virginia shows growing confidence with alleged recruiting letter, plus on the field against Georgia Tech and in prep for N.C. State
Source: ACC All Access - Oct 17, 2011 at 11:01 PM
Gotta say...if it's true, you have to love the confidence - or the "swag" as the kids like to say these days. Sitting at Virginia's football game-week press conference this afternoon, I was surprised to hear Associated Press reporter Hank Kurz ask defensive end Jake Snyder if he'd heard how U.Va. had recently sent letters to football recruits that basically said by the time they read the letter U.Va. will have already beaten Georgia Tech. Snyder said he hadn't heard about it. I immediately went to Kurz and inquired about where he'd gotten the info about the alleged letters to recruits. He said U.Va. defensive coordinator Jim Reid told him after the Georgia Tech game the Cavaliers had sent out the letters. Sounds like a pretty reputable

There are currently 0 users online.
A site for me to write about stuff. Well, except about anime. My writings on anime, movies, and books will be going to my anime weblog. This site will be my output for my other interests, including music, technology, or politics.
Yeah... I haven't been too active here in... years... Heck, wasn't that active before then either. Probably will wipe this drupal install and setup a pure HTML landing page at www.nickistre.net that largely will describe me (selfie text?) and point to other sites related to me. I.E., if I decide to setup a blog again, it'll probably go under blog.nickistre.net.
Also looks like my anime site is gone, but my anime viewing has dropped significantly anyways. It'll probably remain dead unless I get back to watching again.
I've been experimenting with Jupiter (currently version 0.0.51) on my Ubuntu 10.04 notebook to see if I could improve the battery life on this old System76 Serval (version 5). Though there is the applet built in Mono to that is accessible to the user to quickly adjust a few options, the real meat are the scripts it places under /usr/lib/jupiter that are run a notebook is placed on AC power or not.
Unfortunately, it looked like the scripts were not detecting whether the notebook was running on AC or battery power properly. While looking around those scripts, I think I found the problem in /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/state. In the script on line 10, it looks for an AC device in /sys/class/power_supply that contains either a ADP or AC in the name, and on the next line it points to the online file in that device.
Unfortunately, on my Ubuntu 10.04 setup, there was no device with that name, only the battery was shown with the name BAT0. In this device, there is the file status available that seems to contain either "Discharging", "Charging", or "Full" (and possibly other states) depending on the current status of the battery.
Finally made the plunge and upgraded this and my anime blog to Drupal 7, skipping 6 in the process. It's been running Drupal 5 for way too long and an upgrade was long overdue.
Hopefully, I have some time to fix the now-broken [img_assist...] tags in the old entries. Too bad there was no upgrade path for that feature.
[img_assist|nid=192|title=|desc=|link=popup|align=left|width=100|height=63]As might be obvious from the title (and the tags), I've been somewhat hooked on Minecraft for the past few weeks. I have a private multi-player server for just my girlfriend and me, and I've taken to experimenting with various map-generating software so to visualize where to build structures next. I've ended up settling on two packages, both Python-based.
Well, in interests of getting some content on this rather dead blog, I figured I should post what I just figured out in terms of how to setup a .htaccess file to handle a website that actually setup in a subdirectory under the main webroot directory.
I am now running off of LUSFiber Internet. We picked out the top tier with its 50 Mbps symmetrical connection1. Of course, after getting it setup, I couldn't help but run some speed tests on it from speedtest.net2:
:jawdrop: ... I thought I was on 50 Mbps symmetrical? Oh well, I'll take it!3 :)
It's been a while since I last posted here. Just a short little update on a few things. First of all, I've changed employers; I'm currently developing in Flex, which has been an interesting and fun learning experience. I use Flex Builder 3 as my development Environment, but since the Linux Beta of it is somewhat limited at the moment, I've end up running the Windows version on Windows XP Pro in a virtualbox on my work laptop.
Emails from LUS1 announces that Fiber service may be starting this month. I can't wait.
I'm no economist to tell if it's close to the mark, but The Rampant Coyote's MMO analogy to the current economic crisis is quite entertaining, if nothing else. And depressing, also.
My hat's off to you, Mr. Barack Obama, for your win for the 2008 Election for the President of the United States of America1. I hope you run our U.S. Executive office as well as you've run your campaign. I will be right in the line to complain if you don't2.

Connections, a NAMI Danville sponsored support group, will continue to meet on the first and third Thursdays of every month. Upcoming meetings are scheduled for March 15, April 5, and April 19.
Be on the lookout for our newsletter hitting mailboxes in early April - if you or someone you know would like to be on our mailing list, please contact us at email@example.com for more details.
May is Mental Health Month and NAMI Danville will be kicking it off with our annual Clergy Breakfast/Workshop on Friday, April 27. This event will be held in the McDowell Conference Room at Ephriam McDowell Hospital from 8 to 10 a.m. We are working to make this our best event thus far! Hand-in-hand participation from the faith community will be instrumental in helping NAMI break down the wall of stigma of mental illness in our community.
Local author Russell Vassallo will speak on how writing brought him out of depression and his journey on the 8th of May. This event will be held at the Danville Community Center for the Arts and will begin at 7 p.m. Watch our website and newsletter for more information!
NAMI Danville is excited to announce a new effort at support and education which will be coming to our chapter soon. In late April, staff member Susan Updike will be attending a workshop in Northern KY on a NAMI-sponsored family support group. Susan and Lois hope to institute this program right here in Danville in the coming months.

We went to the gallery to see the new Andy Warhol Headlines exhibit, which was quite impressive. The breadth of work the museum had on display reflecting Warhol's focus on newspaper headlines ranged from Warhol's first screen prints and focus on headline news to collaborations with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. It was so interesting to see the direct translation of Warhol's concern with fame through the curation of his works concerned with newspaper headlines.
After viewing the Warhol exhibit, we stopped by the ground floor to take a peak at one of the Pollocks on display (Lavender Mist). I could sit, stare, observe, and consume this work (actually any Pollock) for hours on end, but I only stayed about 15 minutes. To say that I love Jackson Pollock would be an understatement. Something about the chaos and the monumental aspect of his work calms me, sets me right with the world. I guess looking at a work of art that is all about the paint and the process rather than any subject matter is just my kind of viewpoint- I'm right in line with Clement Greenberg on this one.
15 minutes with an original Pollock for me is like 15 minutes of fame for Andy Warhol.

"How about...Lynn?" I suggested, pulling up my wax sheet from my leg. I cringed. "They said it's pain free!"
Will laughed, shaking his head as he laid on my bed. Terry walked in with a Hershey's bar, sitting on the computer chair.
She took a bite, "Nah, she's too geeky."
I gave her a flat look. "She just wears glasses." I used up my last wax sheet and then threw them out into a plastic bag, hanging from the door knob.
"Guys, you're not helping." Will pointed out.
Terry shrugged her shoulders, just chewing on her chocolate. "Well then don't ask us."
I put on some short shorts and let my sore legs cool off by laying on the floor. "Just ask out Terry."
Terry stopped biting into her chocolate bar half-way as Will sat up fast. "What?" they both chimed.
I shrugged my shoulders, turning to them both. "Just go with each other."
"Oh," they both said at the same time as I laughed.
"Guys!" my Uncle called from down the stairs. "Dinner's ready!"
We all got up, making our way downstairs. I heard Will murmur behind me, "I wonder what your big news is Kyle."
Yes, I had some news to tell my family and friends. As we all took our seats and grabbed whatever food we would want, filling our plates, I chewed silently, nervously. Sam came home by now, throwing his keys on the couch and slammed into the seat, quickly grabbing his food. Sam's my cousin.
Uncle James saw what his reaction was as he was eating. "What's wrong Sam?"
He shook his head, laughing unhysterically. "I'm just so tired of all the bullshit Karen puts me through."
"Brake up with her," I said with my mouth full.
Will and Terry nodded, agreeing and my uncle shot me a look.
"I will," Sam nodded towards me. "I'm done with it."
I took my glass of water and he took his, slamming it into each other, I commented, "Amen brudda!"
He laughed. "Ya always know how to make me feel better."
I shrugged. "I'm the best cousin. What can I say."
Uncle James laughed and Terry snorted at my comment. I stuck my tongue at her and she returned it. The silence fell on us again but not for too long. Will spoke, "So, what's the big news that you wanted us all to hear?"
I swallowed my food, hard and took a wip of water. "Well..." all eyes were on me, "I got accepted to this school in upstate New York."
My uncle smiled at me, Sam fist bumped me and Will and Terry smiled too. Then my unlce asked, "So which school? You planning on going there this summer?"
I just looked at their faces which were staring at me. "It's Jefferson Academy."
Sam dropped his fork, Uncle James stared at me with his mouth open and Terry and Will stared at me as well, pausing. I took another sip of my water.
"Kyle," my uncle said, "that's an all boys school."
I nodded. "I am aware."
Sam pointed out, "And you're a girl."
"They don't accept girls," Will also agreed. Terry just nodded.
"I know." I sighed. "Alright, call me crazy but I want to join their football team."
"Oh my god." Sam rolled his eyes.
Uncle just shook his head. "Kyle, I don't think we understand."
"Uncle James, I'm good at football right?" they all nodded. "So, the only place that I can go do football is Jefferson Academy. Their football popularity is bigger than the NBA."
"That's basketball."
I shot Will a glare. "So, since I got in because of my good grades, then I'll turn myself into a guy and work my ass of getting into the team."
Uncle James put his fork down and looked at me. "Turn yourself into a guy? And how would you do that?"
"I'll cut my hair, tie up my boobs and wear guy clothes."
Sam shook his head. "You'll never get away with it."
"If I get accepted into the football team then I'll stay there throughout senior year. If I don't then I come straight home." I reasoned.

Huge crowds swarmed into central Wellington for the world premiere of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit", an event that has sparked Middle Earth mania in New Zealand.
Up to 100,000 people are expected to crowd central Wellington Wednesday for the world premiere of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit", an event that has sparked Middle Earth mania in New Zealand.
Presenters on national radio greeted listeners in the fictional language elvish on Wednesday morning, while newspapers came with complimentary Hobbit posters, and sculptures of characters from the film dotted the capital.
Hundreds of fans, many in costume, staked out spots hoping for a glimpse of stars such as Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood and Martin Freeman treading a 500-metre (550-yard) red carpet leading to the Embassy Theatre.
Wellington has renamed itself "The Middle of Middle Earth" for the event and the New Zealand tourism industry has launched a major promotional push on the back of the movies, hoping to revive flagging international visitor numbers.
The films, which were shot back-to-back in New Zealand with an estimated budget of US$500 million, depict Bilbo's quest to reclaim the lost dwarf kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug.
Bringing the trilogy to the screen proved a saga in itself, taking more than six years since the project was first mooted in September 2006.

Consider Border Spray For Stink Bugs
Thanks to the eradication of the boll weevil and the introduction of Bt transgenic cotton, the number of insecticide applications in cotton has been drastically reduced. Prior to these developments, usage of broad spectrum insecticides usually kept stink bug populations in check. While reducing the number of insecticide sprays is a good thing, it has allowed stink bugs to increase to primary pest status.
"Stink bugs are an economic issue in Georgia cotton," says Michael Toews, University of Georgia (UGA) research entomologist. Although not all fields will require treatment, Toews and UGA Extension entomologist Phillip Roberts suggest that for profit maximization, scouting and treating on an as-needed basis are required. However, many factors need to be weighed in the decision to apply an insecticide.
"Stink bugs are the most common insect we are going to spray," Roberts says. "The message I continue to convey to producers is to understand what else is in the field, whether it's spider mites, white flies or small worms. The presence of those insects should factor into the treatment decision when targeting stink bugs."
But not all stink bugs are the same. In Georgia, the most important species of stink bugs are the southern green and brown stink bugs. Pyrethroids provide good control of southern green stink bugs and are useful when populations of both caterpillar pests and stink bugs infest the same field.
"Brown stink bugs are a little tolerant of pyrethroids," Toews says. "Organophosphate insecticides need to be added to the mix for brown stink bug outbreaks."
However, he says, organophosphates increase the risk for secondary pest outbreaks, like spider mites and aphids, and they wipe out beneficials. So, Toews says he went looking for ways to mitigate stink bug infestations without having the negative effects.
Based on research observing stink bug movement, it is well known that stink bug infestations are often first observed near field edges, especially near a peanut planting. Toews conducted studies on spraying field borders, and after four years he recommends spraying field borders as one approach to stink bug management.
"Using a blast sprayer that would reach 30 to 40 feet into the crop, we sprayed four ounces of Bidrin, plus two ounces of Baythroid XL with two applications, one made the first week of bloom and the second application in the second week of bloom," he says. "Sprays were not made on a threshold."
Toews says the border sprays appeared to provide about three weeks of protection, and a whole field application was required by week five.
"After four years of research, I can say the trend is that two border sprays tend to buy us about three weeks, then we are generally going to need a full application about the fifth week of bloom. Sometimes that full spray is not needed and sometimes it is," he says. "I can't guarantee that two border sprays will work every year, but it is one approach that can be used."
