Obscure assassins and magical pens
Last month, I walked out of Steven Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd" at the Big Newport. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a singing "demon barber" that night. And I was even less in the mood this weekend for a musical about presidential assassins (actual and would-be), including singing John Hinkleys and Squeaky Frommes. Or so I thought.
But on Sunday, I felt duct-taped to a comfy chair by the Chance Theater's production of Sondheim's "Assassins." And I was O.K. with it.
The occasion was an impromptu fundraiser for Children's Hospital arranged by my CHOC Follies buddy Louis Berlin. He bought the 49-seat house for the matinee and sold the seats back to his Follies castmates. It was also a chance to show off his son, Daniel Berlin, who plays the schlubby, bispectacled loner Hinkley so convincingly, I told the boy later, I would cross the street rather than have to walk near him.
Delights? Highlights? What do you call splendid, gripping moments of stage drama and dark humor when the characters are so repugnant? The art is to bring more than one dimension to the characters. To, and I use this word advisedly, humanize them.
"Assassins" opens ata carnival shooting gallery, where you soon figure out that your friendly barker is John Wilkes Booth. Director Oanh Nguyenopted for a spare cast of nine, each playing an assassin and occasionally doubling in a bit role.
You get the well-known killers. But you also get the ones you kind of remember from history class - such as Garfield's psychopathic murderer, Charles Guiteau- and the ones only "Jeopardy" champs can name, such as Samuel Byck, who tried to kill Nixonby hijacking a plane and crashing it into the White House.
You get intense soliloquies by Byck (Dimas Diaz) and Guiteau (Richard Comeau, who in real life works at AT&T in Anaheim, a few blocks from the theater.) You get creepy moments, like when Hinkley sings a love ballad to Jodie Foster. And moments of hilarity, such as when Gerald Ford's would-be assailant, Sarah Jane Moore(Allison Appleby), confides about her poor shooting skills: "I couldn't hit William Howard Taftif he were sitting on my lap."
All the while, tension builds as you await Lee Harvey Oswald, whose presence, lone among the assassins, isn't immediately evident. The moment when he stands before the audience after shooting J.F.K.is a piece of stagecraft so brilliant, moving and original - yet nottechnically amazing - that I'm sure I'll remember it as one of my all-time favorite scenes in live theater.
O.K. So yougot a mini-review. I'm deeper than just courts, politics and mayhem, ya know. If I can get you to check out "Assassins" before it leaves March 16, I've done you a favor. www.chancetheater.com.
It's also time to be seriously arranging tickets for the CHOC Follies. My role this year is small, but I think you'll find the production the most cohesive in recent years.
It's a musical spoof of Christopher Guest's "Waiting for Guffman," a mockumentery about a local theater troupe that takes itself far too seriously.
I got a taste of it at something called an "underwriters party," which was hosted last week at the perfectly preserved Balboa Peninsula home of Sandy Segerstrom Daniel's late parents, Haland Jeanette.
I have never fully grasped the concept of fundraisers to raise money for another fundraiser, but there I was, looking at Hal and Jeanette's bookshelves and art, and wishing I'd had a chance to know them.
In the middleof this, Sandy got up, stood in front of a marker board with some donation opportunities written on it, got that serious-Sandy face and told the assemblage she was holding some "magic pens." Magic, she said, because, "in a little while you will be using them to write your names on this board and save children's lives."
The way she said it - so heavy, but perfect. "How many times have you used that line - the 'magic pens,' " I asked her later. She's always raising money for kids.
"I just made it up while I was standing there, thinking of something to say," she said.
I raised my eyebrows.
"What, you don't believeme?"
"Well, keep using it," I said. "It works."
Because money started flying, the magic bringing in $63,000 in a few minutes, including, with one scribble, $25,000 from Stan Hansonand Eve Kornyei.

The struggling owner of the nightclub chains Liquid and Oceana yesterday warned that the riots earlier this month had had a material impact on trading.
Luminar, which has 77 clubs across the UK and also operates the Lava & Ignite brand, said trading had shown a gradual improvement in the period before the civil unrest.
The group said like-for-like sales in the 25 weeks to 20 August were down 11.7 per cent, but had improved to a 7.9 per cent decline in the 13 weeks before the riots.
Luminar has been thrown a lifeline by its banks which have granted a second extension – to 27 October – on a loan covenant test. The test was initially extended from May to the end of August to give the company more time to put a long-term recovery plan in place.
The squeeze on spending and high levels of youth unemployment have put pressure on its core market of 18- to 24 year-olds.

The effort is a mixture of Latin jazz and salsa music. The ten selections consist of five originals, two traditional Cuban songs, two from the Great American Songbook, and a Paquito D'Rivera samba. Half of the tracks include vocals from Ochoa; he duets with his father on the Cuban tune "Alma Con Alma." On Henry Mancini's "Days of Wine and Roses," Ochoa's vocals are in heavily accented English. He is much more comfortable on the Spanish vocals, including the above-mentioned "Alma Con Alma," a moving bolero.
These vocals recall the Golden Age of salsa, in which listeners were encouraged to get up and dance to the pulsing rhythms of the band and vocalist during the second half of the 20th Century. On the remaining tracks, Cimarrón, a nonet, joins invited guests to set up a generous Latin jazz invitation for dancers and casual listeners. Ochoa shows his fluency on guitar through his solo work on "To Brenda With Love" and "Mestizos."

Brangelina meltdown
Brad and Gwyn together again?
If things weren't rocky enough in camp Jolie-Pitt, news reaches us that Brad has decided to work with his ex fiancé, Gyneth Paltrow, on their next movie together.
Predictably, Ange apparently 'hit the roof', fearing that Gwynnie -happily married with two kids - may still have feelings for Brad, who she dated for three years in 1995.
Should Ange be worried? Well, after their split Gwynnie admitted in a US magazine interview, "My heart sort of broke that day and it will never be the same." And then there's the fact that the Brangelina can't stop arguing these days....
VERDICT: One to watch!!

Anzio or Formia
I arrive atRome airport at 8:30 am on June 29th (Sunday) and have a hotel room on Ponza Sunday night. Most references say to take the trian from Rom to Formia. But Anzio is much closer to the airport. Why not go to Anzio and take a ferry to Ponza?
Need Advice
Hi All,
I am planning to go to Ponza this year in first week of June as part of my honeymoon to Italy, I hope you can help me in answering some questions:
1. I didn't see beaches photos on the internet for Ponza, I mean beaches for people to swim, are there beaches for relaxing and swimming?
2. i am planning to stay 2 nights there ( out of 12 days in Italy) are they enough?
3. Can we go and visit Palmarola island too as a day trip? do you recommend it?
4. Or do you think we should go to Capri instead on Ponza.
5. I didn't find it on Caremar.it, i mean going from Anzio to Ponza, or is it closed now?
Please advice.
Ponza ferries!
Hi there, I am hoping to travel to Ponza on Sunday. I can only make an afternoon crossing and it seems there are ferries from Anzio -Ponza at 3pm (LazioMar) and 5.15pm. I leave on 29 August but I need to be at Roma Fiu airport for 2pm. I think my only option is the 08.00 ferry from Ponza to Formia and take the train back to Rome and then to airport. Do these travel arrangements sound possible to you? I am so sorry to ask. I have spent 4 hours trawling through ferry websites and I am still not sure I have this right. Any help on this would be hugely appreciated and many many thanks in advance!
Budget Accomodation.
Could you recommend some budget accomodation on this island; please?
Hi, A question about Ponza...
Hi, i have a question, namely how often do boats leave from Anzio to Ponza in June, because in traveling on the 10th (planning going to Ponza) and i was wondering, what is the earliest ship leaving Anzio to Ponza and then the latest at night leving Pona back to Anzio , as i only have onde day to spend there :(. Can anyone reply or mebye you can help me ??
Ponza by car or foot?
I am planning a trip to Rome and have discovered this little gem island just off the coast. I am wondering if I should take our rental car over to discover the island or if I should leave the car on the mainland. Also, if taking the car is recommended does anyone know how much it is for taking the car over. How many days are recommended on Ponza. Looking forward to your suggestions. Cheers
I would like to go from Formia to Ponza than to Ventotene and back.
I would like to kindly ask you to send me the link to the ferry company who organise it.
Kind regards,
Best activities with kids
I am coming to Ponza in August with my wife and 2 children, ages 14 and 9. They are great swimmers, and love the water. I am wondering if anyone has advice on what will be great things to do with them while we are on the island. Where might they find gatherings of other kids? We are staying, by the way,in a hotel. Also, any specific restaurant advice? There is very little, so far, on this site.
Thanks in advance.

ill keep this short. Dont buy this amp. Its a powerful amp thats good. But what good is that when it doesnt have any protection!!No fuses at all on the outside or inside.Meaning you cant use it to push bass or without checking on it every 10 minutes!!Whaaat??All this money and no fuse.As i said powersul wich makes u like it so much that u buy 3 more like me then realize had it had a fuse i woulda still been on the first 1 and $2000 not spent!I ended up taking all 3 amps to shop and guess what??The issues on all the amps are a common fosgate bd1000 problem rhat a .25 cent fuse woulda saved the amp. So all this garbage about fosgate being so high tech well i woulda put a fuse in there had i owned fosgate and im a drop out. Funny how the same amp with no fuse all the sudden has a new version with not only outside fuse but built in fuse. And all of us not rich people like r.F who lost ourr money on their mistake must sit back and say oh wow!A new bd1000 amp!With a fuse!I want it. Oh wait a minute why the hell didnt u guys put this in on the last 1???U been making amps for decades.U still habent learned amps need fuses especially 1,000 watt amps. Im going back to alpine. Back in 80"s and 90"s thats all i used. Never had 1 die and they always used fuses.Even on 25watt amps. Alpines technology is way better.A 1000watt alpine will do what a fosgate 1000w will do. Except the alpine will last long emough to give to your kid instead of using it as a ancor for a boat like me. But heck,3 bd1000 amps tied together as my hiat ancor actually works better then real ancor.Costed $2,000 to make a $40 ancor but i had no choice.
Very expensive fosgate amp.Very powerful fosgate amp.Very easy to burn out fosgte amp.Why??They didnt put a fuse in it!!What?For the money and technology no fuse??I mean cheap generic brand amps have fuses.Then fosgate learned their lesson and fused the newer amps.U see 1 of these,stay away.Burnt 3 of them.Ur fuse isnt goin to stop this amp from smoking out cheech and chong as it has no fuse itself to burn 1st before it burns itself
Really good amp. All my amp had been Punch amps. Can't complain.

Action to change background
This project received 12 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $172 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids12
Project Description
We think we are asking for a Photoshop Action or Batch script that can perform 2 functions. The first, and most important, is to remove the existing background and place the central object on a plain white background.
The images we have are supplied by our vendors so the backgrounds are different. I've attached 3 examples.
The second "feature" of the action or batch script is to apply file names and save the image created is 4 sizes. The file name is always the image name. What we need added to the image name is a prefix of "m_" "s_" or "X". To us, these file prefixes mean a medium image, a small image, or a cross sell image.
Let's suggest the image name is example_image123. We would expect this action or batch script to perform the following steps:
(note that all images we provide will be the same pixel width
1. Extract the central image and place it on a plain white background
2. Save the image as "m_example image123.jpg"
3. re-size the image to 240 pixels in width
4. Save the image as "s_example image123.jpg"
5. re-size the image to 170 pixels in width
6. Save the image as "x_example image123.jpg"
7. Close without saving the source image

The first quarterly issue of Cigar Aficionado goes on sale in Britain and the US this week. It is the creation of Marvin Shanken, a New York magazine publisher. He is a militant cigar smoker, and keeps 5,000 of them in a humidor in his office.
For him, the new magazine is clearly a combination of commercial venture and a chance to campaign for a cause never far from his lips - 'We cigar smokers are treated like lepers.'
All the articles are by men. The writer Gay Talese (Honor Thy Father) complains about being criticised for cigar-smoking in the streets of New York, mainly by women. 'Have some angry members of the women's movement defined cigars as a vestige of that bygone era of male clannishness and exclusivity?' he wonders.
The media correspondent of the Los Angeles Times recalls having been asked to put out a cigar at a baseball match before he had even lit it, and tells of men who have had the things ripped from their mouths and been punched in the face for their habit.
The letters column, 'Out of the Humidor', is packed with complaints of persecution, inspired by Mr Shanken's pre-publication advertising; e g, 'The lady below us has tried to stop me from smoking cigars in my own apartment.'
Along with consumer tests and close-up pictures of the fragrant leaf, there are articles about great moments in cigar-smoking history. Pierre Salinger, former press secretary to President Kennedy, recalls the latter's fondness for the distinctly undersized Petit Upmann. Mr Salinger was sent out to buy 1,000 of them the day before Kennedy introduced his ban on importing Cuban cigars.
Though oppressed, cigar smokers are not insolvent. Mr Shanken has had 40,000 requests for subscriptions, and research suggests that the average annual income of potential subscribers is pounds 100,000. His magazine costs pounds 4 in Britain, a little less than a good Havana. There are many who will want nothing more than to roll it up and set light to it.

Directed by Noah Baumbach. Starring Josh Hamilton, Eric Stoltz, Olivia D'Abo, Chris Eigeman, Carlos Jacott, Jason Wiles, Elliott Gould, Parker Posey, Cara Buono. (1995, R, 98 min.)
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Feb. 10, 2000
"Twentysomething and fresh out of college" is increasingly coming to define a whole genre of pictures that may trace their lineage either all the way back to The Graduate or simply as far as the recent crop of Reality Biters. For the most part, these films have little that distinguishes them from each other: They are generally intelligent, technically competent musings on the difficulties of significant others or satisfactory career direction. Kicking and Screaming stands out amongst this crop due to its smart dialogue, elegant camera shots, and fine ensemble work. It's a nice debut piece for director Baumbach, despite the film's reliance on the twentysomething blues formula. Eric Stoltz, the icon of the genre, is used to good effect here as a perpetual student who moonlights as a bartender who dispenses his insular wisdom and complacent life lessons to an appreciative group of male post-grads. The film focuses on the plight of Grover (Hamilton) and his three housemates and pals, all adrift in their post-graduate angst. It's "guy stuff" by and large, and although the girlfriends are mostly peripheral characters, they are vibrant and engaging whenever they appear and are a welcome breath of life in the guys' otherwise dreary existence. Granted, it's difficult to make the life of a writer (no less, a blocked, would-be writer like Grover) interesting onscreen. So when his girlfriend unexpectedly picks up and goes to Prague to study writing upon her graduation it seems earth-shattering to the staid Grover. This group of actors creates a comfortable ensemble feel, lending a realism often missing from these types of films. I suppose it ultimately says more about me than it does about the movie that I felt my strongest twinge of identification while Grover's separated father, played by Elliott Gould, rambles on about all the new problems he's encountering in the dating world. Perhaps a new movie rating system needs to be devised that restricts movie admission according to age, although in this instance, the dividing line should be "under-30" and "over-30."

Training & Behavior
If you want a house-trained cat, you need to focus your energy training its habits to an indoor lifestyle. Find the right type of litter box for your cat and keep it in an area, preferably quiet and secluded, where the cat will be comfortable using it. If the cat doesn't take to it right away, try a different litter or move it to a different area. Once you have trained it to use a litter box, any house soiling that occurs will usually indicate a health problem or confusion based on changes you've made to your living space. When training a cat to use the litter box, one must practice patience. Having a cat that doesn't pick it up the first few times is no reason to give up on the house-training process.

When you buy a cordless circular saw, you have two choices. You can buy a "kit," which includes the saw complete with one or more batteries, a charger, and a case, or you can buy the "bare tool," which is the saw and nothing but the saw. Buying the kit is usually cheaper than purchasing the batteries and charger separately, but not always; it depends on which particular battery you want to go with your saw and how good a deal you're able to find on it. To add to the confusion, some cordless circular saws are sold only as bare tools, with no kit available.
For the sake of consistency, we've listed all the prices in this section as bare-tool prices and provided the battery and charger prices separately. But if you intend to buy both, check kit prices first to see if you can get a better deal that way.
We found two cordless circular saws that get excellent reviews from both professional testers and users. The 7.25-inch, 18-volt Milwaukee M18 2630-20 (Est. $110) is the top pick in three professional comparison tests, chewing through wood faster than any other cordless saw. At just over 9 pounds, it's heavier than most cordless circular saws, though still lighter than most corded models. However, reviewers say it also comes closest to a corded saw in terms of performance, and it runs longer on a charge than most saws of its size Both professionals and home users appreciate its large, stable aluminum base and ergonomic design, with generous control levers and overmolded handles. They also appreciate the clear, precise 50-degree bevel scale, with engraved marks for every degree, and the battery fuel gauge that shows how much charge you have left. Aside from the weight, this saw's only real drawback is that it doesn't control sawdust spillage very well.
If you're not buying the kit, it's important to make sure you get the right battery to go with this saw. Several users at Amazon.com were miffed to discover, after receiving the tool, that the M18 2630-20 can't take the standard battery that goes with other tools in the M18 line. Instead, it requires M18 Compact REDLITHIUM batteries, which are available in several capacities. When you buy the kit, it comes with the 3-Ah M18 REDLITHIUM XC Extended Capacity Battery (Est. $60), model 48-11-1828, but you can upgrade to a 4-Ah or 5-Ah battery for more runtime. You can charge all these batteries with the M18 and M12 Multi-Voltage Charger (Est. $30), model 48-15-1812.
The other standout in tests of cordless circular saws is the DeWalt DCS391B (Est. $120). This 18-volt, 6.5-inch circular saw is rated the best value in tests at Fine Homebuilding. It weighs just 8.3 pounds, and tester Doug Mahoney says its "perfect balance" makes it feel even lighter. He also praises its "ample power and sports-car handling." In another test at the Journal of Light Construction, this DeWalt saw comes in a close second to the Milwaukee in terms of both power and runtime. Reviewers say the cut-line markers, 50-degree bevel setting, stability, and blade visibility are all very good, but the guard action is only so-so. They like the battery fuel gauge included on the saw, but Mahoney notes that its location requires you to flip the tool over to read it. Although the DeWalt is clearly an excellent saw, we've given our Best Reviewed pick to the Milwaukee, which trumps it in power and runtime.
Like the Milwaukee, the DeWalt DCS391B has several battery options. Users at Amazon.com and HomeDepot.com say it tends to run down smaller-capacity batteries very quickly, so they recommend either the 4-Ah DeWalt DCB204 (Est. $150 for two) or the 5-Ah DeWalt DCB205 (Est. $160 for two). For either one, you'll need the DeWalt DCB101 battery charger (Est. $70). Alternatively, you can buy this saw as a kit with a single 5-Ah battery as the DeWalt DSC391P1 (Est. $260).
A couple of other cordless circular saws get good, but not outstanding reviews. Reviewers describe the Bosch CCS180 (Est. $120) as very well balanced, with excellent runtime and excellent guard action. However, it's not as powerful as some other saws, and its motor-to-base stability is only fair. It's very lightweight, at just 6.6 pounds without the battery, but still rather bulky for a 6.5-inch saw. Also, this saw is sold only as a bare tool, and Bosch provides absolutely no information on its website about which battery to use with it. The best guidance we found was on Amazon.com, which recommends the Bosch SKC181-01 18-Volt Lithium Ion Starter Kit (Est. $99), with one 4-Ah battery and a charger, to go with this saw.
The Makita BSS610 (Est. $165) does very well in the power test at Popular Mechanics, and the editors call it the best-handling saw of the lot. This compact 6.5-inch saw weighs just 7.6 pounds, battery and all, and reviewers say it's very easy to adjust. The Journal of Light Construction also gives the guard action top marks. However, it comes up a bit short on battery life, and its cut-line markers and blade visibility are only so-so. This saw requires a 3-Ah Makita BL1830 battery (Est. $170 for 2) and a Makita DC18RC Lithium-Ion Rapid Optimum Charger (Est. $50).

Date: Friday, April 8, 2016
Time: 0930-1730
Location: Hart House Great Hall
Praxis II provides Engineering Science students with an opportunity to refine and apply their engineering, design, and communication skills. The students are given a single challenge:
Effect a legitimate and measurable improvement in the lived experience of a community in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Focusing on the Greater Toronto Area allows the students to gain first-hand experience with the issues confronting the City and provides them with the opportunity to engage one-on-one with stakeholders, including City and community representatives.
In the first phase of the course the class scours the GTA looking for communities with which to engage. In collaboration with their community they define an engineering opportunity and produce a Request for Proposal (RFP). Of the 72 RFPs that were developed in 2016, the following 10 were selected to proceed to the second phase of Praxis II:
- Aiding Children with Mobility Impairment at Bloorview School
- Eliminating Waste and Improving Accuracy in the Bottling of Honey
- The Accessibility of a Super 8 Film Camera
- Improving the Skate Drying Process at Nathan Phillips Square Skate Rentals
- Improving the Educational Experience at Allan Gardens Conservatory
- Integrating Education and Physical Activity at the Royal Ontario Museum
- Improving Handwriting Experience of Children with Epilepsy
- Growing Hops on Urban Rooftops
- Manual Litter Collection Apparatus for Toronto Litter Operations
- Improving Slop Disposal at Pottery Studios
In the second phase, between 4 and 8 teams compete to design engineering solutions for each RFP. This phase of the course culminates in the public Praxis II Showcase. During the Showcase, students share both their refined understanding of their opportunity and their proposed engineering designs to a wide audience through posters, prototypes and presentations.
Past audience members include City Councillors, representatives from newspapers, radio, and television, as well as project stakeholders and materials suppliers.

The heavy rain that soaked parts of North Texas on Sunday has tapered off and is moving south toward Waco.
Dallas Love Field received 3.13 inches of rain and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport got 2.85 inches in the past 24 hours. It's far from the heaviest rainfall in the area recently. Valley View in Denton County got 10-11 inches of rain earlier in the summer, said Lamont Bain, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
The rain also cooled the temperature to a high of 87 degrees, said Remeisha Shade, a meteorologist with KXAS-TV (NBC5). The average high for August 17 is 97 degrees.
The downpour forced the Lions Balloon Festival and Fair at Highland Village to cancel its dog race and ground the hot air balloons that were supposed to lift off Sunday morning.
About 185 departing flights and a 180 arriving flights were cancelled because of the weather at DFW airport, said spokesman David Magana.
Despite the rain, a small group still showed up outside Dallas police headquarters to protest in solidarity with the people of Ferguson, Mo.
About 5,000 people were without power in Dallas County and about 2,200 were in the dark in Tarrant County by 4 p.m.
Meteorologists predict up to a 20 percent chance of isolated showers on Monday and 10 percent on Tuesday. Highs will hover between 99 and 100 through Friday with lows around 78 degrees. After Tuesday, the rest of the week will likely be hot and dry.

Well, hopefully. It might take another day to get back in the swing of things, but I am back and will be writing a couple reviews this week, featuring July's store of the month, etc., etc. (And finally replying to e-mails, in case you're waiting for a response . . .)
In the meantime, here's a link to a recent interview I did with Stephen of Green Apple Books about Open Letter, why we should read literature in translation, and so on.
Green Apple is a damn cool store, and their "Book of the Month Videos" are a pretty innovative and fun. Here's the most recent one for Werner Herzog's Conquest of the Useless: Reflections on the Making of Fitzcarraldo:

Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .
Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's La Superba is appropriately titled after the Italian city of Genoa, where, after escaping the pressures of fame in his own country, the semi-autobiographical narrator finds himself cataloguing the experiences of its mesmerizing inhabitants with the intention. . .
It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .

Our day trip to Mary River Wetlands was a wonderful experience. It began when I asked about car parking in the city of Darwin for the duration of our package deal only to be told that we would be picked up and dropped off at our hotel.

Jailbreaking Will End Life As We Know It: Apple
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is using the Copyright Office's triennial exemption process to try to get an exemption for iPhone jailbreaking. The process is moving along, and with the Copyright Office asking for clarification and both the EFF (.PDF) and Apple (.PDF) responding.
Apple has, in the past, held that jailbreaking is illegal. But Apple goes further, using scare tactics as well as legal arguments to try to persuade the copyright office.
Did you know that jailbroken iPhones can bring down cell towers? Here's what Apple said (emphasis mine):
For example, each iPhone contains a unique Exclusive Chip Identification (ECID) number that identifies the phone to the cell tower. With access to the BBP via jailbreaking, hackers may be able to change the ECID, which in turn can enable phone calls to be made anonymously (this would be desirable to drug dealers, for example) or charges for the calls to be avoided. If changing the ECID results in multiple phones having the same ECID being connected to a given tower simultaneously, the tower software might react in an unknown manner, including possibly kicking those phones off the network, making their users unable to make phone calls or send/receive data. By hacking the BBP software through a jailbroken phone and taking control of the BBP software, a hacker can initiate commands to the cell tower software that may skirt the carrier's rules limiting the packet size or the amount of data that can be transmitted, or avoid charges for sending data. More pernicious forms of activity may also be enabled. For example, a local or international hacker could potentially initiate commands (such as a denial of service attack) that could crash the tower software, rendering the tower entirely inoperable to process calls or transmit data. In short, taking control of the BBP software would be much the equivalent of getting inside the firewall of a corporate computer – to potentially catastrophic result. The technological protection measures were designed into the iPhone precisely to prevent these kinds of pernicious activities, and if granted, the jailbreaking exemption would open the door to them.In short, all those dropped calls and poor service that occurred last year when the iPhone 3G was introduced were because of jailbroken iPhones. Shame, shame.
Finally, like Apple, AT&T's support organization is burdened by users of jailbroken phones who encounter functional problems with the phone that result from jailbreaking. Such users often call AT&T to report such problems, believing that they may be the result of problems on AT&T's network. AT&T is then forced to spend significant resources investigating and diagnosing the problems to determine whether, in fact, there is a problem with AT&T's network or service.
As far as the claims about the BBP, that would only occur if someone wanted to unlock an iPhone. Jailbreaking is a requirement in order to unlock the iPhone, but jailbreaking itself does not "equal" unlocking.
Wanting to make sure it added more fuel (fright?) to the fire, Apple on Thursday added a support article to its site warning about jailbreaking. The article is titled "Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues."
Ouch, watch out.
What the article goes on to state is a number of instability issues:
Device and application instability: Frequent and unexpected crashes of the device, crashes and freezes of built-in apps and third-party apps, and loss of data.Jailbreaking is just a software modification that can be undone by restoring the iPhone. Similarly, a ROM update will "jail" the iPhone again. While most users don't see a performance hit when running a jailbroken iPhone, they do see an whole new universe of applications they can install on the iPhone.
Unreliable voice and data: Dropped calls, slow or unreliable data connections, and delayed or inaccurate location data.
Disruption of services: Services such as Visual Voicemail, YouTube, Weather, and Stocks have been disrupted or no longer work on the device. Additionally, third-party apps that use the Apple Push Notification Service have had difficulty receiving notifications or received notifications that were intended for a different hacked device. Other push-based services such as MobileMe and Exchange have experienced problems synchronizing data with their respective servers.
Compromised security: Security compromises have been introduced by these modifications that could allow hackers to steal personal information, damage the device, attack the wireless network, or introduce malware or viruses.
Shortened battery life: The hacked software has caused an accelerated battery drain that shortens the operation of an iPhone or iPod touch on a single battery charge.
Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to the iPhone OS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone OS update is installed.
These are all generalities, of course. It is possible that badly coded application could indeed cause an issue on your iPhone. In general, however, these are all scare tactics by Apple.
Are you scared yet?

Blueheels and Blake Thomas: Anachronistic Anthems from Wisconsin's Finest
Madison, Wisconsin's Blake Thomas and Robby Schiller are as well known for their drunken escapades (like nearly drowning together after plummeting through the ice into Lake Monona, wherein Otis Redding perished) as their music. Their latest albums—Schiller's second with his group Blueheels, and Thomas's fourth solo effort—should change all that.
The first thing that gets you about Blueheels is Schiller's weirdly twangy, unrepentantly nasal singing. Who'd have dreamed that the Dust Bowl extended as far north as Neenah, Wisconsin? I had to go back all the way to the opening bars of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" to remember a voice stopping me in my tracks so effectively. Some of the fervently parochial locals have heard Blueheels as the second coming of the Jayhawks, but on Lessons in Sunday Driving, they commonly sound a lot more like the Clash with chops and dynamics, the latter most evident on "Stupid Little Smile," which goes from silence to gale-force fury in a heartbeat.Recordings withhold the pleasure of watching the band's ursine, Che Guevara–ish lead guitarist Bricco exude nearly Springsteenian delight at being onstage with an electric guitar in hand, but his blurry blues riffing in "Keep Your Mouth Shut" and scorching flurries of sixteenth-note triplets in "Evelyn Song" nearly compensate. And Schiller himself shines as a songwriter when persuaded to stop playing the lovable-loser card: Sunday Driving's best songs, like "Trampled Rose" and fuzzy declaration of faith "The Lion and the Lamb," recall the Band, sounding less composed than unearthed; without the distortion on Bricco's guitar, and adorned by the odd pop and crackle, these tracks could've been recorded anytime since the invention of the phonograph. Thomas's "I Don't Want Your Heart, I Want Your Liver," a highlight of his new Flatlands, is a glorious addition to the canon of wry country odes to alcoholism. But the world's world-weariest 25-year-old never hits his stride more emphatically than when immobilized by despair, as on "Please Cash This Check for Me": Throwing out the rhyme and meter rulebooks, he recalls with heartbreaking vividness a real-life moment of abject desperation. Sung with resonant soulfulness, the evocatively melancholy title track ought to become the Midwest's national anthem. Being Wisconsinites, both Thomas and Schiller are maddeningly resigned to entertaining fellow dumpster-divers on the same old local beer-and-pizza circuit (in Blueheels' case) and giving fingerpicking lessons while waiting for the Big Time to come looking for him (in Thomas's), but these two heartland albums will make you proud to be American in this last woeful summer of Bush & Cheney.

A follower of the great, holy and almighty floating shrub. Ages ago the shrub blessed the people in the deserts but one day the shrub disapeared. One day they say.. the shrub will return and bless them once again. With thus they have recieved the title of "Shrubbite" the followers of the Shrub.
These followers are a crazy bunch. Very friendly, often dress in green. Set up special events to show others the power of the Shrub.

Higher organisms progress through several discrete developmental stages during their post- embryonic development. The molecular mechanism of these transitions, and the endogenous and environmental factors that influence their timing, are major problems in developmental biology and have important implications for human health. Molecular-genetic analyses of the juvenile-to-adult transition in plants and Caenorhabditis elegans have revealed striking similarities between these processes. In both plants and C. elegans, stage transitions are regulated by a change in the abundance of miRNAs that repress the expression of transcription factors or other key regulatory proteins. However, the molecular basis for this change miRNA levels, and the effect of this change on the expression of the direct targets of these miRNAs are still incompletely understood. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the juvenile-to-adult transition (vegetative phase change) is regulated by a decrease in the expression of two related miRNAs, miR156 and miR157 that promote the expression of the juvenile phase by repressing the expression of SPL transcription factors. The factors responsible for the temporal expression of these miRNAs will be identified using a directed molecular approach and a sensitized genetic screen. To determine the regulatory architecture of the pathway that regulates vegetative phase change, the function of the SPL genes regulated by mir156/miR157 and the ways in which they interact with each other and with MIR156A and MIR156C will be determined by characterizing the developmental and molecular phenotypes of loss-of-function mutations in these genes. The quantitative effect of miR156 on the expression of its direct targets will be measured using protein-reporter constructs. This will reveal if miR156 fine-tunes gene expression, or acts as a thresholding factor to promote alternate developmental states. Finally, the organismal location of the developmental clock that regulates vegetative phase change will be investigated by testing the role of the shoot apical meristem in this process. These experiments will provided detailed information about the molecular mechanism of vegetative phase change in Arabidopsis, and contribute to an improved understanding of the regulation of developmental timing in higher organisms.
Defects in developmental timing underlie many human diseases and inherited disorders. A better understanding of the fundamental mechanism of developmental timing, and the role of miRNAs in this process, is essential for developing therapies for these problems.

Ship Wood Bench
Product: Ship Wood Bench
Retailer: VivaTerra
We were dubious, we confess, when one of our favorite designers raved on about his treasure trove of reclaimed wood from sunken ships. Its patina, he said, radiates softly like thick layers of satin, while its aged density and strength give it a nobility all its own. To prove his point, he showed us this bench, hand-wrought from a no-longer sailing vessel. We sat on it, ran our palm along its deeply rich grain and examined its simple, perfectly angled lines. "Land, ho!" we exclaimed. Our sailor lingo needs work, we admit, but we hope we manage to convey our full-throttle enthusiasm for this spectacular, rare piece of heirloom furniture for porch, patio, or any interior. Assembly required.

Dog rescue goes to bat for L.A.'s homeless
Fix the dogs and feed the men.
That's what Lori Weise decided to do 16 years ago when she started working at Modernica Inc., a furniture factory on the edge of L.A.'s Skid Row. She couldn't get to work without seeing the homeless being bullied and their dogs or countless other strays being abused.
She created Downtown Dog Rescue, downtowndogrescue.com, in the back of the factory and, with the help of co-workers, started trapping strays. She talked to the homeless, one man at a time, convincing them their dogs would be better off spayed or neutered.
Food was a powerful incentive. She posted fliers in alleys and doorways, promising free pizza for the men and free surgery for the dogs at a mobile clinic she arranged for. She worried that no one would come, but when she arrived, the line was two blocks long.
The homeless also couldn't get a dog license without an address. So Modernica's address was used to license 300 dogs.
Since those early days, Downtown Dog Rescue has paid for thousands of surgeries, placed or fostered thousands of dogs, and provided meals galore for man and mutt. The shelter is still located in the back of Modernica, but there aren't many homeless left downtown, so Weise now brings shelter services to Compton, where the crime rate makes living hard for residents and the euthanasia rate makes living a challenge for dogs.
For the past two years, a monthly spay and neuter clinic has been held in a Compton park, run by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care & Control with $100,000 annual funding from DDR.
In 2011, the clinic sterilized close to 800 dogs, according to Weise.
Dog trainer Cornelius "Dog Man" Austin is also part of Weise's team. Growing up in South Los Angeles, Austin said, the streets were infested with pit bulls. "I was 10 or 11 and in my neighborhood, that's all they did was fight pit bulls," he recalled.
Today he holds weekly obedience classes for DDR at the Los Angeles Coliseum, teaching owners basic commands, agility, urban walking and what to do if your dog is attacked. The class draws between 30 and 50 dogs a week.
While Downtown Dog Rescue has grown since the late '90s from a couple of kennels to 22, Modernica, the furniture maker, has grown from six employees to 80. Owners and brothers Frank and Jay Novak are neither dog people nor homeless activists, but they believe in what Weise, their plant manager, stands for.
Eight months ago, Modernica started moving its production plant to a bigger building in Vernon. They have given Weise a half-acre where she can build a new shelter, but she is still negotiating with the city for permits. The rescue is also working to raise $50,000 for the building, plumbing and electricity.
Meanwhile, the dogs are downtown, where the company's prop department (they do a lot of Hollywood work) will stay. Weise drives back and forth each morning and night to care for them.
"She is a one-woman army. What she means to Compton and homeless people with their pets is services they would never get otherwise," said Bob Goldman, a veterinarian at VCA Petville Animal Hospital in Los Angeles.
