Many of Shakespeare's plays walk a thin line between comedy and tragedy. Most times the distinction boils down to a central question: Will the ruse (or confusion, or deception) be uncovered before someone gets killed? There is confusion aplenty in the decidedly non-tragic The Comedy of Errors, which is being performed by St. Louis Shakespeare at the Orthwein Theatre on the campus of Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day School (101 North Warson Road, Ladue). The play concerns two sets of identical (and identically named) twins, Antipholus and Dromio, who seek reunion with their long-lost brothers. Comedy mixes many of the Bard's favorite themes — estranged siblings, mistaken identity, shipwrecks — with plenty of bawdy puns and broad humor. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday (March 7 through 16). Tickets are $15 to $22. For more information call 314-361-5664 or visit www.stlshakespeare.org.
Thursdays-Sundays. Starts: March 7. Continues through March 16, 2008

You control a cute little character (Harold the Homeboy) and your goal is to climb as high in the tower as you possibly can without falling off the bottom of the game screen. After you jump onto each ledge, you only have a certain amount of time before the ledge crumbles and falls into the abyss below.
Perform fancy flips and score extra points for jumping more than one ledge at a time. The faster your character is moving, the higher he jumps, and you have the ability to score cool combos by flipping from ledge to ledge. There are literally hundreds of floors in this enormous tower, so this fast-paced activity will give you hours of jumping fun, and will really test and exercise your quick reactions and dexterity (as you have to quickly change direction to get to higher ledges.)

In fact, this super-simple and fun game is perfect for anyone (young or old) who wants to improve his or her hand-eye coordination skills. All you have to do is click on any of the RED balls that are floating alongside the other colored balls in the game screen. But be careful. If you click on a ball that is NOT RED, it's game over! Once you clear all of the RED balls from the game screen, you go to the next level. You need to keep your eyes open however, because with every new level, there are more-and-more balls, moving faster-and-faster!! Now you are on RED-ALERT!
A fun and easy-to-play game of two levels for younger kids, Kirby is a straight-forward, platform-based flying game where you must guide Kirby – an adorable pink ball with flying capability – through two rolling and continuous Mario-style levels. Based on the popular Nintendo computer game and anime character of the same name, Kirby is a small, ball-shaped creature with extraordinary abilities - such as the ability to inhale objects, and then expel them with great force. This cute little sphere can also suck in the air, self-inflate, and float around almost like a balloon in order to avoid oncoming obstacles. You must harness these attributes, and use them to carefully navigate Kirby through two levels filled with pesky baddies, challenging jumps, gold star collectibles, deep ravines, and more.
This relaxing arcade game could be used as a fun online activity for young children / elementary school age kids to help develop their motor skills and reaction speed.

The game clock starts ticking as soon as you start the game. You receive a recipe and need to add all the listed ingredients into the blender. The order that you add the ingredients does not matter but the amount of each ingredient is essential. When you point at an object around the kitchen, you will see the name of the ingredient. Then drag the recipe ingredients into the blender with your mouse.
When all the required ingredients are in the blender, switch it on. Remember that your time is limited, so you must work quickly. The recipe on the left side disappears after you click your mouse on one object, however, you have 3 bonus opportunities (hints) to see the recipe again. Happy cooking, and keep an eye on the clock!
Free UFO Game for Kids: Mr. Green has just purchased a brand new UFO that he must learn how to fly. Using the arrow keys help him fly his UFO. Get extra bonus points for knocking the traffic cones but don't bump into the other UFOs on the road!
Calling all Dora fans! It's time to guide everyone's favorite little outdoor explorer on a daring online adventure! Dora The Explorer: Treasure Hunt is an easy to play, light-hearted platform arcade game for young children where you must lead Dora on a brave expedition to find valuable treasure chests! You play the role of Dora, and have to leap over ravines, jump from ledge to ledge, defeat crab baddies, collect coins, and other fun-filled antics! This family-friendly platform game could be used as a good activity for little girls and boys who are developing their motor skills, and are perhaps playing online flash games for the first time. The cute cartoon graphics, non-threatening bad guys, and simple game play should make for a fun adventure. Quick reactions, hand-eye coordination, patience and timing are all tested and exercised on this enjoyable journey through the jungle. Go Dora - Happy treasure hunting!
Circus Game for Kids: Help the clowns to collect the balloons. Circus Acrobat clowns Enzo and Gonzo swing each other and jump higher and higher. You can control the swing position using the left and right arrow keys. The angle at which the waiting clown jumps can be changed by moving him closer to the swing center.
Use the up and down arrow keys to move the clown. The closer to the center the waiting clown is, the bigger the angle he jumps. If the waiting clown stands at the end of the swing he'll jump straight up. Don't let the clowns go beyond circus arena or fall on the ground!
Every little girl dreams of having her very own pony, and now it's your turn! Pony Adventure is a fun online skill game for kids where you have to ride around on the cutest little pony, collecting items, jumping obstacles and chasing after your house – which has inexplicably run away (that's right, your house can run in this wacky adventure!) Dash through an often dangerous terrain - where steep drops and rocky cliff faces pose a tricky challenge to even the most experienced pony riders. Your lovable little pony loves carrots, so collect as many of them as you can along the way. Don't hang around too long though, as a clock is ticking down in each level – you can't let your house run too far ahead!
This colorful game is ideal for young virtual pony lovers. Timing is very important, as jumping too early or too late could result in disaster! You'll really need nifty fingers to succeed, as there are many difficult jumps and obstacles to overcome. Ok, it's time to get in the saddle, and accompany your new best friend on a wild new adventure. Girls love racing too! Giddy up there!
Stalk The Frog is a fun, simple yet addicting and challenging puzzle game with a quirky little character that will drive you nuts! Look at his indifferent expression - those uncaring eyes - that air of superiority. He's just laughing at you. Ask yourself; can mankind outwit a frog?
Boing boing! He likes to hop around but make sure he doesn't hop off into the water because then you lose the game. The object of this puzzle game is to stop the frog from entering the water - so try and block him (if you can).
Santa Truck 2 is a fun and festive truck driving game where, as Santa's little helper, you get to help Santa Claus deliver as many Christmas gifts (presents) as you can, using your jolly red & yellow truck! This game is suitable for young kids and teens and requires a steady hand, good driving skills and, of course, a kind Christmas spirit! Your goal here is to get all the wrapped gifts to the next upload point before the clock runs out, without dropping too many or crashing the truck.
You have to be extremely careful, as the terrain is icy and treacherous! Make sure not to let any of the gifts fall out. First you upload the gifts, and then drive as fast (and carefully!) as you can to the next upload point. If you deliver the right amount of gifts on time, without crashing, you move onto the next level. Remember, in this snow-filled festive frenzy, balance and speed are essential. OK Santa's little helper; let's see what you can do! Think of all the smiling faces you'll create!
Bloons Pop Three Game is a fun color matching game for kids which also has a catchy, addicting music beat (this can be muted). The aim of the game is to connect matching balloons in order to make them disappear. You need to swap 2 same color balloons, which are next to each other. Make sure that the path is not blocked by other color balloons. If you don't see a move you could make next, buy a hint on the left side of the game screen. An arrow will indicate you a balloon that should be swapped.
The is no need to rush, as the Bloons Pop Three game is not time-based. Focus instead on how to earn extra points. Earn extra points by scoring in combos, or include special bloons (with bombs, pop-corns and other items) for extra points. The game is over when you run out of moves. Good luck!
How to Play: Using your computer mouse, Left Click on two bloons which are next to each other in order to swap them horizontally or vertically. When you have 3 or more matching color bloons in a row (vertically or horizontally) they disappear and you earn points.
What's up Doc? Well, it's foot racing time, that's what's up! Bugs & Cecil: Mad Dash is a light-hearted athletic racing game for young kids where you have to guide Bugs Bunny over a set amount of hurdles – and win – each increasingly challenging race against Cecil Turtle. The cheeky rabbit is so confident of victory, he has set himself the tricky task of leaping over Olympic-style hurdles in each race, and you have to time each jump perfectly as well as carefully position Bugs on the track. However, you shouldn't be fooled by Cecil's wizened appearance; he's a crafty runner, and is ready to capitalize on any mistakes by Bugs.
Based on characters from the beloved Looney Tunes cartoon series, this is a straight-forward keyboard tapping skill game suitable for kids of all ages. The simple premise and easy-to-learn controls means this could be perhaps used a fun activity for little children to help exercise and develop motor skills. Good hand-eye coordination, expert timing, and fast reflexes are all tested on the 'mad dash' for the finish line. It's time to lace up those running shoes – on your marks… get set…GO!
Magnifying glasses to hand! It's time for a detective-style 'seek and find' adventure with one of TV's most beloved cartoon characters among toddlers and preschoolers! Dora: Spot the Numbers is a fun and easy-to-play hidden object game where you have to carefully find the numbers 1 through 10 on five incredibly-detailed images of Dora and her explorer pals! Equipped with a magical golden magnifying glass, you have to strategically scour each picture for the elusive digits against the clock – the faster you find all 10, the higher your score!
This light-hearted and enjoyable online mouse-clicking game should be a good fit for Dora The Explorer devotees as well as avid fans of Sherlock Holmes-style hidden item activities. Each number is cleverly concealed within the landscape and characters of each image, making this a real test of your concentration levels, shrewd eyesight and observation skills. You also need to exhibit good all-round investigative instinct as the mysterious digits can be concealed away in the most innocuous places! Ok fellow Explorers, please put on your sleuthing backpacks. It's time to show us how sharp your Eagle Eye really is today! Happy number finding!
Play QubiDraw - a Kids Memory Match Game: This game uses your memory and observation skills. Your challenge is to find matching pictures, or to find the pictures that don't match with others, depending on the game you select. You can choose to play an open pictures or closed pictures game, where you have to select two matching pictures in order to remove them from the board.
If you choose the One Item game, you can select between a game where you have to find one item that doesn't match the theme, or a game where you have to select the item that has never appeared before.
It's a fun game for children, and helps your child to practice and train visual memory skills.

Chocolatier Thorntons loses FD to private equity
FD Mark Robson is to step down in March 2012
By Michelle Perry | CFO UK | Published 15:00, 09 November 11
Chocolatier Thorntons has announced its finance director Mark Robson is to step down in March 2012.
Robson, who has been with the company since November 2009, will take up a position with a private equity owned company.
Chief executive Jonathan Hart said they are started to look for his successor.
"Mark has played an important role over the past two years in improving our business and laying the foundations for our long term, transformational strategy," Hart said.
Prior to his role at Thorntons Robson worked for Somerfield, now part of the Co-operative, as finance director.
Revenues have increase 1.7 percent from £214.6 million in 2010 to £218.3 million this year, but the retailer has experienced a "challenging year". It reported a 38 percent fall in pre-tax profit, from £6.9 million in 2010 to £4.3 million for the current financial year.

Let's start out by saying that I'm a big fan of both Uber and Lyft. I'm indirectly an investor in both companies as I'm an investor in three VC funds that are investors Uber and one VC fund that is an investor in Lyft. I have no idea how much actual equity I have in either company, but based on current valuations the dollar value of my indirect ownership is non-trivial. And Foundry Group came close to investing in Zimride (the predecessor to Lyft) but we ended up withdrawing from what we thought was an inappropriately high priced round, which, in hindsight, was clearly a miss on our part.
Regardless of my support and enthusiasm for these two companies, I'm bummed at the mud they are slinging at each other. I get that this is an intensely competitive market. I get that the stakes are huge. I get that all the reporting I'm reading is second hand and might be fiction. But the ad hominem attacks are escalating rapidly and the behavior they are surfacing isn't pretty.
Techcrunch summarized this pretty well yesterday, after multiple articles from a variety of places including the NY Times and WSJ. The headline sets the tone: Uber Strikes Back, Claiming Lyft Drivers And Employees Canceled Nearly 13,000 Rides. The NYT article is Accusations Fly Between Uber and Lyft and the WSJ article is Uber and Lyft Rivalry Turns Nasty in War of Words.
I have no idea what, if any of what is being said is true. The tactic being asserted that is most disturbing is this one:
Accused Lyft behavior: "Lyft employees, drivers and one of its founders ordered 12,900 trips on Uber's app and then canceled them with the goal of slowing down drivers who would otherwise be picking up actual, paying passengers."
Accused Uber behavior: "177 Uber employees have requested and quickly canceled more than 5,000 rides from Lyft drivers over the past 10 months, Lyft said, in an effort to frustrate Lyft's customers and drivers."
As a customer, this sucks. If I was a driver for either service, this sucks. I think this ultimately backfires against each company equally.
Guys – both of you are trying to disrupt a massive market dominated by incumbents and government regulation. I'm sure these incumbents are now laughing their asses off at y'all are acting like petulant children, as they wait patiently for you to chew up capital, value, partners, customers, while generating additional scrutiny from the government forces in the incumbents' pockets trying to slow you down.
I get that you believe price is a weapon – how you use it for you and your investors to decide. But by messing with each other's service, especially in a way that negatively impacts your two key constituents, consumers and drivers, you are opening yourself up to a ridiculous amount of scrutiny and quickly playing a no-win, zero-sum game. There is no need at all for this given the massive size of the market opportunity before you.
One, or both of you, should rise above the fray. Keep on competing aggressively. But recognize that you are radically disrupting a market desperately in need of disruption and doing it beautifully. Don't shit all over it, and yourself in the process.
I'm bouncing around between a bunch of stuff and have a two board meeting day so I thought I'd just toss up a few interesting things I read this morning along with my thoughts.
Don't let the regulatory past be the prologue for Uber: Phil Weiser, the Dean of CU Law and head of Silicon Flatirons has an excellent OpEd in the Denver Post about Uber in Colorado and the regulatory activity around it. I've been vocal with our state government to not behave in "incumbent protection mode" by over regulating Uber, Lyft, and other innovative new companies. It continues to be painful to watch our state government – which is so enthusiasm about innovation and entrepreneurship – keep stepping on their toes, and occasionally in shit, as they try to balance the incumbent / innovator dynamic. I'm glad Phil said what he said so clearly – it needed to be said.
Venture funding goes ballistic: VCJ: Some people are starting to call the top of the current cycle, at least in the context of flows of LP funds into VC firms. We had our LP Annual Meeting yesterday and I had a vibrant conversation with a few of our LPs about this topic at lunch. My view on the world continues to be simple – have a strategy and a set of deeply held beliefs. Evolve your strategy thoughtful and carefully, but never change your deeply held beliefts.
Understanding the Drivers of Success: Matt Blumberg, CEO of Return Path, reminds us that a rising tide raises all boats. He speaks from his own experience about some of the cycles he's been through with Return Path over the past 12 years and how that masks potentials issues. Greg Sands from Costanoa, who's been on the Return Path journey with me, Matt, and Fred Wilson from the beginning, weighed in with an email on the past that finished with a great punchline: "Finally, when the slow down comes, figuring out how to separate market dynamics from team team and know whether you have the mgmt team you need for the next part of the journey is *really* hard."
How Cheezburger Recovered From Their Hiring Blunder: Ben Huh, CEO of Cheezburger, has an outstanding and very open article about some very hard decisions he had to make a year ago, how and why he made them, and how he and Cheezburger have recovered from some bad choices. I love working with Ben and especially enjoy how honest and internally consistent his brain is with what happened.
Heartbleed: What Is The Correct Response? I was going to write a post yesterday on Heartbleed but didn't get to it. Fred Wilson wrote a great one this morning including searching for the correct response for him personally. There's lots in the comment thread – go weigh in if you have thoughts or suggestions.
I've had continual performance problems with Feld Thoughts over the past few years.
Yesterday, we moved the site to Lagrange Systems in an effort to meaningfully improve things.
How's it doing? And, more importantly, what's your favorite high performance, high availability WordPress configuration?
Maybe everyone knows this, but it took me a while to realize that almost all of my performance issues with Google Apps were related to my DNS configuration. Once I switched all my machines and routers to Google Public DNS all of my performance problems went away.
It's remarkable. Simply hard code DNS to 126.96.36.199 and 220.127.116.11. Problem solved.
My office, condo, and house in Keystone are all on Comcast. For the last month I've been struggling in each of them. There are days that Gmail feels almost unusable – five to ten second waits between messages. Web performance was "good enough" so I assumed it was a Gmail problem.
Nope – it was a Comcast DNS problem.
In hindsight, this is kind of obvious. But wow, what a difference it made.
A few days ago, Amy and I came up to our house in Keystone. We haven't been here for about two months; we'll be here through the end of the first week of January.
The first few hours were predictable. We "turned" everything on. We unpacked the car. We got settled in.
And I got frustrated. The Internet was slow. The Sonos wasn't working correctly. Everything was trying to update itself. It was like a giant machine was trying to boot up, but was stuck in an initialization loop.
I wandered around the house tweaking things. One by one I got things working. As I reset things, I kept thinking to myself "I wonder why we need that."
We bought this house in 2006. The network infrastructure is a cumulative build since then – a NetGear router connected to the cable modem, Cisco WiFi access points on each floor, default Sonos configuration, a Cisco phone that isn't used anymore acting as a wired network repeater, USB hubs with one device connected, power extension cords, cables, and a bunch of other crap. The last time I was up here I installed an Apple Airport Extreme (which needed an update) but I left everything in place.
I decided to rip it all out yesterday and replace it with the Apple Airport Extreme. The result is a giant box of crap.
For an hour or so I continued to be frustrated. Things were better, but still choppy. I'd set all the computers up to use Google's public DNS server (the magic 184.108.40.206 and 184.108.40.206) but the network performance was still choppy – fast, then slow, then fast, then slow. At some point I realized I hadn't set the Airport Extreme to use Google's public DNS and it was defaulting everything to Comcast.
I made the switch. Boom – everything was fast again. As expected. Pandora played all day long without dropping. Video and audio calls were fine again.
As I looked at the giant box of crap this morning, I thought about the idea of decluttering. We have all this gunk in our lives that just slow us down. Just like my network. As the year comes to an end, I'm going to keep decluttering, the physical and the virtual.

Auckland Council's proposal to ban begging in the city has been labelled as draconian by its Wellington counterpart.
A proposed bylaw bans asking for money, food or other items, as well as soliciting donations in an intimidating way.
Wellington City Councillor Stephanie Cook says in contrast the approach being taken in the capital allows people to donate money to beggars through drop boxes and a smart phone app.
She says Auckland's proposal is harsh, with Wellington's approach a much more compassionate and pragmatic option.

With the Chris Clemons situation looming over the Seahawks like a grey cloud, I've been wondering where the Seahawks stood in terms of their cap number. Well, Pro Football Talk apparently heard my request and posted an updated list of where every team currently stands in terms of their cap space.
The Seahawks have $7.47 million in cap space remaining right now, and more space will be opened up this fall as the roster is trimmed from it's current level of 90 players down to 53. If Tarvaris Jackson gets cut as many people predict, that will open up an additional $4.3 million.
The Seahawks need to take advantage of this cap space, but signing some key players to extensions that are front loaded, using up this year's cap room to pay plaers what they're worth, while keeping their cap number in future years to be palatable.
Chris Clemons is the first player who comes to mind for this, especially since he and the Seahawks are currently in negotiations for an extension. I've seen a couple places report that the Seahawk;s most recent offer included an $8 million dollar 2012 salary, and then just $4.5 mil and $5.5 mil for 2013 and 2014. That's the type of front loaded deal that will work well for the Seahawks' current situation.
The Seahawks would also be wise to begin talk with Max Unger, Alan Branch, and Earl Thomas. All 3 are key players on this team that need to be locked up long term. If the Seahawks can do so with a good deal of their salary counting toward this year's cap number, then all the better.

A New Earth, An Old Deception
- Thursday, August 07, 2008
We are coming to the end, Tolle says, of all mythologies, ideologies, and belief systems—i.e., "A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH."
The reimbursements seem endless, as evidenced by an Oprah-produced PR video for Tolle's book (downloadable from oprah.com). It is an emotionally moving series of images that feature all kinds of people interacting joyfully, blissfully, and lovingly in a variety of situations and at beautiful locations: a park, a hillside, a picturesque street corner. The musical soundtrack is lush and heartrending, perfectly complimenting the subtle text that gently fades on and off the screen:
Discover the depth within yourself. A sense of awe, of wonder, will arise within you. It can only awaken those who are ready. Are you ready? Find the goodness already within you.... The past has no power to stop you from being present now.... Only by awakening can you know the true meaning of that word. To love is to recognize yourself in another. In order to attract success, you need to welcome it wherever you see it.... The source of all energy is within you. You will come to life. A new year. A new you. A New Earth.
These sentiments may sound wonderfully poetic and inspiring. But what do they actually mean? What is "the depth" within yourself? What does it mean to be awakened? What does it mean to be "present now"? What does it mean to be "aware"? Aware of what? And what is the "truth" about who I am? We must also ask: How might Tolle's teachings contradict or compliment scripture? What does he say about religion in general, and about Christianity specifically? Where does he stand on God, Jesus, and salvation?
The answers to these and related questions are found in Tolle's book, which one reviewer called "a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world." However, what many people do not realize is that Tolle's answers, once all the evocative language and colorful imagery is stripped way, reflect the same teachings that have been around since the sub-structures of the New Age Movement were laid back in the mid-1800s. Tolle, in other words, is saying nothing new. He has simply restated New Age beliefs using a fresh vocabulary.
Here Comes the New Age—Again
Doctrinally speaking, Tolle's writings categorize him as a typical New Ager who advances the same list of beliefs that have long been popular with persons in the Western world who are enamored with the spiritual philosophies of the Eastern world. But Tolle discusses these beliefs in a way that is far removed from how they are usually discussed in New Age circles. Instead of plainly stating his case, he runs his teachings along a circuitous route of emotional appeals, invented words/terms (e.g., the "pain-body"), and even self-contradictory statements.
This is not to say that Tolle is insincere. He often expresses himself using extraordinarily sincere and heartfelt arguments, poignant observations, and deeply personal anecdotes. But sincerity and best intentions are not the issue. Truth is the issue. Is Tolle communicating truth? The answer to that question, surprisingly, is sometimes yes. For instance, on pages 10-11 of A New Earth he correctly notes that humans have "suffered more at the hands of each other than through natural disasters," going so far as to equate human brutality with a kind of madness that takes hold again and again. Then, on page 12, Tolle astutely identifies fear, greed, and the desire for power as prime reasons for the destruction of so many personal relationships. He writes: "They bring about distortion in your perception of other people and yourself. Through them, you misinterpret every situation, leading to misguided action designed to rid you of fear and satisfy your need for more, a bottomless whole that can never be filled."
None of this sounds too problematic. In fact, when it comes to certain issues, Tolle makes some rather interesting and thought-provoking points. But herein lies the problem. His insightful comments, which resonate as true, lull readers into believing that everything else he says is true. This, in turn, leads them to accept without question or pause what he states about: (1) our real identity; (2) the only way to peace and purpose; (3) the substance of truth; (4) the identity of Jesus; and (5) the nature of "God."

text: The sounds of a cascading waterfall welcome you to the trailhead. Follow the stream for about half a mile. The trail veers off to the west and out of the shade. The trail has switchbacks through shrub oak up to a saddle on the Mill Creek ridge crest. From the saddle you get your first glimpse of Parleys Canyon, Salt Lake City and Grandeur Peak. After the saddle, the climb becomes steeper and more difficult. Standing on the summit you hear the sounds of the city with a 360-degree view of the beautiful Wasatch Front. About dogs: Salt Lake County requires that dogs be leashed in the entire canyon on even-numbered days. Dogs may be unleashed on odd numbered days except in developed areas.
