Hello, here is a little two-players game.
Players A and B choose three numbers : a, b and c for A, a', b' and c' for B. The values are numbers between 0 and 1, their sum is 1, and they are ordered: $a \geq b \geq c$ and $a' \geq b' \geq c'$.
Then, the players A and B compare their choices : $a$ vs $a'$, $b$ vs $b'$ and $c$ vs $c'$. If a player has 2 values bigger than the other, he wins (otherwise it's a tie).
I would like to study whether there is a good strategy in this game but I don't know how to start. Do you have an idea on the general way of studying this kind of game? Any reference of book/article is welcomed :)

Miles Robinson is the adopted son of Susan and Gordon on Sesame Street. Susan and Gordon's adoption of Miles in 1985 (beginning with Episode 2122) was a major event on the show. Subsequent episodes dealt with the infant Miles' adjustment to his new family, and he would gradually become one of the familiar kids on the street. Miles' birthday is December 4th. In a dream sequence in Episode 2313 (1987), Gordon and Susan imagine what Miles would be like as an adult. The adult Miles is played by Kevin Clash.
As a teenager, Miles formed his own band. In Episode 4112, he graduated high school alongside Gabi (despite the fact that the characters' respective debuts on the show as babies occurred four years apart). A flashback in this episode shows that Miles was shy on his first day of kindergarten.
Miles has worked as an assistant to Alan at Hooper's Store during Season 37.

We love to combine different textures with our drapes. We'll often combine Roman Shades and Woven Shades. So often Clients think that they have to chose between "shades" or "drapes" when they can actually get a great combination of texture and depth by using both styles in concert. Even if you are dealing with larger windows where you need extra long drapes or extra wide drapes you can still get a great look with either a Roman Shade, Woven Shade or even try layering a sheer behind the draperies.
Also, don't think that if you are looking at two treatments you are looking at double the price. When you are using two different styles we can often save your budget by using less material in the drapery, especially if you are just going to be using it as a static panel. Give one of our Designers a call and we can help you find the best solution for your windows.

Australia should broaden the base of the GST and consider increasing its relatively low rate, while scrapping a number of state taxes, a global agency says.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) made a number of recommendations for tax reform in its latest economic survey of the Australian economy released on Friday.
"Tax reforms, including a lower corporate tax rate, a broader resource rent tax and more efficient state taxes would facilitate ongoing structural adjustments," the Paris-based institution said.
The GST rate has remained at 10 per cent since it was introduced in mid-2000, and fresh food, education and health products are exempt from the consumption tax.
But the OECD said the base should be broadened and the rate increased.
In exchange, state taxes should be rationalised, such as reducing or removing conveyance duties, while it says subsidies to first-time buyers should be cut.
The OECD also said the minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) should be broadened and state royalties should be replaced by a mining rent tax modelled on the federal approach, "allowing states to set their tax rates".
Labor's 30 per cent MRRT only taxes the super profits of coal and iron ore companies, and revenue is used to credit royalties paid my miners and a number of other initiatives.
The OECD also recommends pursuing a reduction in the 30 per cent corporate tax rate and a possible extension of the loss carry-back scheme to unincorporated firms.
The agency called for the creation of a stabilisation fund to better insulate public spending from revenue changes caused by volatile terms of trade movements.
However, it welcomed the federal government's introduction of a carbon price, saying it should encourage investment in clean energy technologies and help enhance "competitiveness in a carbon-constrained world".

A recent LG leak has delivered not one but five upcoming Android smartphones and one Mango-equipped one. Life is good, if you're in love with LG.
The "flagship" phone in this group of five is the LG Prada K2, which features "Prada-inspired texture." I can only assume that means it's encased in money or perhaps some high-end shoe leather, because there isn't much more info in the Poketnow leak than that. Let's pretend it's shoe leather.
Other leaked handsets include the Windows Phone 7 LG Fantasy and LG Univa. The leaked smartphones join the already confirmed Optimus Pro and Net. Want specs and other geeky goodness? Reward Pocketnow for their phone-sleuthing efforts with some of your time. [Pocketnow via Techcrunch]

Chicago Home with Southern Roots
Clean lines and gracious proportions, paired with a hefty dose of fresh color, give this new Chicago home all the classic elegance of a true Southern beauty.
Southern roots run deep. So when Gloria Masterson and her husband, Mike, decided to build a new home for their family of five instead of renovate in Chicago's North Shore village of Kenilworth, it was no surprise that visions of iconic antebellum homes—like those found in Gloria's Alabama hometown—came to mind. Stately columns, masses of tall windows, and a large and welcoming front porch topped her wish list.
Architect Chip Hackley looked to historic references to define the home's proportions but focused on a more vertical orientation to provide an airy layout. "The general design is traditional but with a slightly modern twist," he says.
The home's brick exterior is finished with a silicate paint, which replicates the aged look and texture of traditional English lime wash.

Throughout the main level, the ceiling height soars to over 10 feet. To usher in light, interior doorways secreting pocket doors are topped with transoms, while walls of French doors and floor-to-ceiling windows reminiscent of traditional Southern triple-hung designs round out every room. "Large openings centered upon each other across the house provide borrowed space and let the house breathe," Hackley says.
Paneled walls lend subtle distinction to the curved staircase anchoring Gloria and Mike Masterson's entry. Rectangular sconce shades and a chevron runner strike a modern note.
Stunning Staircase
Prominent but simple millwork, such as the linear paneling of the entry's staircase and extra-wide baseboards and crown moldings, adds architectural authenticity. "We wanted things to be substantial, but a little cleaner than what is usually found in traditional homes," interior designer Christine Hughes says.
The graceful open staircase elegantly connects the home's three floors. Its dark handrail draws the eye upward.
Living Room
Because most rooms flow together, Hughes opted for walls dressed in subtle yet cohesive variations of cool gray-whites. "We kept the interiors quiet—there's not a lot of fussy details," Hughes says. "We were trying to create something that was timeless, but with some modern elements that were appropriate for a young family."
The living room's arrangement of casual shapes and neutral fabrics ensures nothing distracts from the beauty of the room's outdoor surroundings. In keeping with the home's overall architectural style, a substantial yet streamlined limestone mantel serves as the room's focal point.
Formal Dining Room
With the light and bright surroundings in place, Hughes and Gloria brought in vibrant color and personality via furnishings. "I wanted all white walls but then to have pops of color everywhere from fabrics, pillows, and rugs," Gloria says. "Greens and blues are the colors that make me happy. It feels like it's summer in my house all year round—even during Chicago's gloomy winter days."
Formal Dining Room
White moldings provide a crisp juxtaposition to a dramatic navy painted ceiling in the dining room. A graphic, acid-yellow rug and an abstract painting by artist Meredith Pardue put a fresh spin on a dark wood pedestal table and gilded accents.
Floor-to-ceiling windows replicate the proportions of traditionally Southern triple-hung windows and flood the dining room with natural light.
Fab Kitchen
Timeless simplicity and function reign in the all-white de Giulio designed kitchen. Convenient recessed shelving hides behind the sliding doors of the range's sleek backsplash, helping to keep clutter off the countertops. The island's waterfall design allows the beauty of the natural quartz to add visual weight to the open space and provide a nice focal point from its opposite living room.
Bright Breakfast Room
The breakfast room's seating area delivers a splash of color. An overdyed Persian rug does that and more; not only is it the saturated blue that Gloria loves, but it's also surprisingly functional. "It's so forgiving and it hides everything!" says Hughes.
The recessed cabinet continues the clean and modern lines—and clever storage solutions—of the kitchen, as the back wall opens to reveal the coffee maker and other kitchenware.
A vibrant blue sofa adds a punch of happy color to the washed-walnut-wrapped library.
Handsome lockers trimmed in faux snakeskin keep the busy mudroom tidy. A custom colored lantern and durable oushak rug keep the space cheery and fun.
A pergola-covered patio functions like a cozy additional living room.
Master Bedroom
With so much strong color in the rest of the house, Gloria wanted the master bedroom to take a rest. The curves of the vintage gray settee—a family piece they reupholstered and repainted—provide a pretty silhouette against the geometric lines of the large bay window.
Master Bath
Small mosaics surround marble hexagon floor tiles, forming a pattern-rich design that helps to visually open up the master bath's narrow, runwaylike layout.
Bunk Room
Geometric fretwork on the custom bunk beds makes 12-year old son Joe's bedroom more sophisticated than juvenile.
A trio of dormers and symmetrical side gables on the rear facade mimic the front roofline. Below, an expanse of French doors and windows stretches almost end-to-end allowing plenty of access to the large outdoor terrace and inviting inside the sounds and breezes of nearby Lake Michigan.

The race is going strong and the pods just completed the first lap... the rankings below show who's in the lead and who needs to catch up! Eight racers are out already - seven crashed on the course, and one was shot down by the Tuskins after veering off the course (probably because he was begging for votes instead of paying attention to the race).
Four of the more stylish pods are leading the pack, followed by an unlikely pirate racer that held it's position while the rest jostled around him. The fierce looking Spearit made the biggest jump in the ranks, up 21 positions (and from the looks of it I'd guess he was ramming entries out of his way). The quad-engine pod made the second biggest advance seen in the first lap - maybe the risky configuration will pay off in the end! Rounding out the top eight is the crazy crossover Sparrow... no word on if Patsy managed to keep up.
Lap two is when speed and strength really come into play... so in this poll try and pick which of your favorites look the fastest and most resilient. Keep weapons in mind too: they've probably got a better chance to get through the crowd right? You get five more votes to push these pods forward, and once again the trailing seven won't advance to the final lap.
1: 2: 3: 4:
5: 6: 7: 8:
9: 10: 11: 12:
13: 14: 15: 16:
17: 18: 19: 20:
21: 22: 23:
Crashed in first lap:
Lap two is over in two days - so voting ends Thursday night... and we've got something special lined up for Friday so make sure to be ready!

Boom, Belgium: Atlas Copco Rental Europe extends its fleet with 20 Atlas Copco Y35 Drillair units. These compact and efficient, high-pressure, diesel-driven screw compressors deliver a pressure of up to 35 bar. The compressor's design complies with the most stringent European emission standard, Stage IV. With this versatile addition, Atlas Copco Rental Europe takes another step in extending its rental fleet to meet the increased demand for higher pressures and flows at a lower cost.
With the introduction of the newest Y35 units, Atlas Copco Rental Europe upgrades its fleet with a compressor that covers a wide operating pressure range. Thanks to the Extended Pressure Range (XPR) technology, the pressure can be set as anywhere between 15 and 35 bar, making these all-rounders suitable for any heavy duty work such as foundation drilling in hard soil or bedrock.
Fitted with an efficient Stage IV engine, these compressors contribute to the reduction of harmful emissions. Stage IV engines reduce the levels of particulate matter and NOx by 50 to 96% compared to previous models. As an added benefit, they also consume less fuel. To achieve these results, the exhaust after-treatment system requires adding AdBlue® to the fuel: Atlas Copco Rental can support you with both fuel and AdBlue® management to keep your installation up and running.
"Companies in foundation, geothermal or water well drilling often struggle to keep pace with the increasingly stringent norms and standards in the industry. That's where we can offer the benefits of working with state of the art equipment, without having to take the initial investment," explains Inge Craninckx, Marketing Manager Atlas Copco Rental Europe. "These Y35 Drillair units are ideal for drilling projects or any other projects that require between 15 and 35 bar of pressure."
"Part of this new fleet of Y35 compressors are adapted for offshore use, an industry branch with important growth potential. Beginning of 2018, we will launch a booster that can bring the operating pressure to 200 bar in just two stages, which would make the Y35 a space-saving solution for pipeline pre-commissioning activities such as pressure testing, dewatering, drying & nitrogen flushing." continues Craninckx.
Atlas Copco is a world-leading provider of sustainable productivity solutions. The Group serves customers with innovative compressors, vacuum solutions and air treatment systems, construction and mining equipment, power tools and assembly systems. Atlas Copco develops products and services focused on productivity, energy efficiency, safety and ergonomics. The company was founded in 1873, is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and has a global reach spanning more than 180 countries. In 2016, Atlas Copco had revenues of BSEK 101 (BEUR 11) and about 45 000 employees. Learn more at www.atlascopcogroup.com. Specialty Rental is a division within Atlas Copco's Power Technique business area. It serves customers in all industry segments around the world with temporary air, power, flow, steam and nitrogen rental solutions. The specialty rental services are offered under several brands.

What's in a name? Apparently a lot when it comes to brands. How many gyrations has the Schwinn name, the Raleigh name, etc., gone through since inception? The brands lives on, but the owners change hands faster than you can say farfegnugen.
Bianchi celebrated 125 years in 2010, which gives pause. Let's see, when was the bike invented? Founder Edoardo Bianchi was truly an inspiration. Left to grow up at an orphanage in Milan, the young sprite saved every penny in his youth.
By the time he was 20, he had saved enough money to strike out on his own. He had a vision of building quality products and he was honest, which can get you in trouble when you run a business, but Eduardo stayed true to his values throughout.
In cycling, his claim to fame was building bikes with wheels of equal size, something of a novelty at the turn of the century. He also chose a rather unusual color for his bikes — celeste. I've never liked it, but when you see that color you instantly know it's a Bianchi.
Bianchi is now owned by an Italian who immigrated to Sweden, under the company name Grimaldi Industries. I own a Bianchi Castro Valley, a smart commute bike.All this history leads me to the point of the story: What I like about Bianchi is that it hasn't given up on steel. Carbon fiber (and aluminum) has its place, but so does steel. Bianchi not only has two beautiful, high-end steel frames, it offers an affordable road bike, with down-tube shifters no less! Apparently there is a warehouse somewhere… The Bianchi sales rep at Interbike Las Vegas said the bike was spec-ed this way at the request of many bike shop owners.
This comes as no surprise. The majority of bikes are made of steel. The higher end has given way to carbon fiber in the past decade, but a lot of riders just want reliable steel bikes costing $700-$1,200, or more if they can find it.
I also ran across a steel frame from Colnago, amongst the Italian company's many carbon-fiber bikes on display. My favorite bike was a 1980 Colnago — black frame with a gold Ofmega headset and yellow decals. Bellissima!

Day 5: Zzzzzzzzzz
Thursday is a day of rest in Crested Butte. For cyclists, that is. For everyone else, it's chaos.
In my particular hotel, I stood behind a woman who was complaining to the desk manager about breakfast running out at the in-house restaurant. And the long wait she had for dinner that night before. And blah blah blah blah blah.
Now, Crested Butte (or crested butter, as my fingers keep typing) is normally a town of about 2,500. Or so says the desk clerk. So when we all blew into town Wednesday evening, its population size more than doubled, at least temporarily. And no amount of extra help in the world is going to keep things running the way they normally would.
I understand this. I empathize. And I'm grateful to them for accommodating us. But I have a bigger bone to pick.
No pool.
After riding 280 miles in four days, my body needs water. Lots of it. I need to drink it, I need to shower in it, but I really, REALLY need to just float in it. That way, the bod will hopefully, grudgingly agree to hang with me for the final two days of the tour.
Now this is considered a rather nice hotel. My room is certainly very nice, there are many nice amenities, the employees are nice.
The hotel pool, however, is not nice, because it's under construction. Right now. And so is the hot tub. There are big, gaping holes where they should be.
So I ask:
Is there another pool nearby that I can use?
A community pool or YMCA?
How about another hotel, a condo unit?
Oh, definitely no!
See, the rich homeowners association here in CB has ruled that only homeowners and condo owners can use said pools. And hotels do not share guest amenities; it is, apparently, against some sort of law. And I got a look of horror when I mentioned the phrase "community pool."
So I'm out of luck, it would seem. The hotel clerk, trying to be helpful, says, "But you can use our spa…" (at $200 an hour).
"Or hey, how about the sauna? That's open!"
Sweetie, I just rode 92 miles in the midday heat. Would a sauna sound good to you?
So forget about running out of food, running out of space, running out of patience. If your hotel pool is dead, there is no excuse for you.
The hot topic of conversation today is whether Cottonwood Pass will be in any shape for a couple thousand cyclists.
Cottonwood Pass is about 56 miles into our 75-mile trip to Buena Vista on Friday. It also just opened last week, due to the heavy winter snow.
So now the problem isn't so much snow on the roads; it's runoff from melting snow DOWN the pass. Like gravel, mud is not friend to cyclists — or at least not to road cyclists. If it's really mucky, they say, we may have to be rerouted, and I've heard guesses of 100-mile detours over Monarch Pass.
Now, there's a lot of great rumor-trading around here (it's a rest day… great for spreading gossip). Apparently, Tour Director Chandler Smith headed up there today to check out the conditions and give the all-clear.
Chandler, by the way, has been doing an amazing job on this tour — his first as director. As he said during a cycling seminar earlier in the week, he has some big shoes to fill; according to those I've spoken to, he's risen to the challenge. Nice.
UPDATE: Cottonwood is open, beautiful, beckoning, etc…. so the horror stories about detours are just that. No need to get our spandex in a twist.

It is a girl! But what's her purpose?
Published May 13, 2004, in issue 0319 of the Hook
at Miller's
May 8
Last Saturday night found me pulling my worn out frame to Miller's, for though the day had seen one unfortunate incident after another befalling me, I was a music review short of my weekly quota (one music review). I headed to Miller's to see the "alternative-rock" band Zag, partly because the place is but a stone's throw away from my house, partly because I had not seen Zag before, and partly because I wondered what the phrase "alternative rock" really means in this day and age.
Made up of two guitarists, a bassist, a female drummer, and a female singer, the group on stage quickly launched into a tune that to my ears sounded a bit like an instrumental from those '90s populist darlings, the Gin Blossoms, only with the blonde side-woman providing cascading "ooo's" throughout the song's many verses. Near what appeared to be the end of the tune, the group introduced themselves, and lo and behold, they turned out to be my old friends Fountainhead.
To explain, I reviewed Fountainhead about a year and a half ago at the Jaberwoke, sticking around for one set of their jam band jive before taking off. Mildly berated by them for mistaking their female drummer for a man and not sticking around for the second set, where they said their vocals had been collected, I swore to one day see them again, a promise I promptly forgot.
Fountainhead still likes to jam, at least as much as they did when I saw the band last time. Four songs from the band took over an hour by my reckoning sometimes a song had many parts, leading to relief that the group was moving on to another number, and then to hopes being crushed when the same verse coda would re-appear.
In terms of musicianship, the group was pretty good tight, with never a wrong note to be heard. Indian-style riffs bubbled out of the lead guitarists, seemingly placed randomly throughout the set a nice change of pace from the normal jam-band fare. What was a bit mysterious to me was what the group was trying to accomplish with the inclusion of their female singer. As far as I could see, except for providing backing vocals on one tune, the group's many instrumentals had her just singing lines of "oh's" and "yeah's", without any more substance.
"Words!" "Loud words!" "Harmonies!" "Off-key harmonies!" "Long ending jam of varied tempo changes!" Those thoughts went out through my head at the group's third song, the first to bring one of the group's guitarists to the microphone but the band's fourth song, "Dancing with a cactus," was where they truly showed me their stuff. I guess.
"I don't ask you to follow, don't ask you to change" the guitarist sang, punctuating the end of each line with a David Byrne style talking/yelping presentation. It was an all-right pop song in need of a chorus, nothing to write home about, but by the second verse, the Byrne posing was really starting to bother me.
Fountainhead this time I stayed longer, and the drummer is definitely a female.

| The glove box is a one-piece affair. There are a pair of metal
hinges that are attached to each side the glove box. The hinges in turn
are attached to a metal cross-bar that spans the dash opening. Each side
of the hinge is attached with just one screw. (See Figure 1.)
[Note to nitpickers: The screw on the right-side hinge is temporarily in place so I don't loose it. It actually goes through the hinge from the other side.]
To remove the glovebox, reach under the bottom edge of the dash and find the retaining screws. (See Figure 4.) Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, remove them and the glovebox should drop out of the opening with the hinges still attached to it.
In my case, the glove box only had one screw left holding it in place. I unscrewed it from the glovebox and the glove box came right out. I then removed the hinges from the metal cross-bar.

into which the hinge retaining screw is secured. In my case, the post on
one side was broken. (See Figure 2.)
The post had broken cleanly into two parts, which simlified the repair. First, clean the mating edges of the broken post with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Let it dry. I used a two-part epoxy that cures in one-minute. Following the directions, I mixed the epoxy on a folded up piece of aluminum foil using a toothpick, and applied it sparingly to the mating surfaces of the post. I then pressed the surfaces together and let the epoxy cure for an hour. I mixed some more expoxy and liberally coated the outside of the post and it's reinforcing braces. I let that cure overnight.
The next day I positioned the hinge on the posts (there is a second post that aligns the hinge) and screwed it in place. I wasn't real surprised when the screw forced the post apart again at the break. I suspect some of the epoxy seeped into the hole in the post, which interfered with the screw and forced the issue.
Time for Plan B.
Figure 2. The Post
| For my second attempt, I decided to use the epoxy to hold it
all together, with the screw just acting as a locating pin. I mixed up another
batch of the quick setting epoxy and liberally applied it to the posts (without
the broken pieces), filling the remainder of the screw hole with epoxy.
I then set the hinge in place, settling it into the epoxy. I "screwed"
the screw into it's hole, and applied more epoxy to the screw and locating
post. I let it dry overnight. (See Figure 3.)
The next morning, I gingerly tested the strength of the repair by trying to twist and move the hinge. It seemed secure, so I proceeded to put the glovebox back in it's place.
Figure 3. Epoxied Fix
| With the glovebox hinge back in it's place, it was time to
put it back in the car. First, secure the hinges to the glove box using
the Phillips head screws. The hinges are left and right sided, but go on
only one way.
In side the car, put the glove box into position. Slide the box up into it's opening, making sure the lip on the back of the glovebox is behind the latch at the top of the dash opening. Close the glove box, and position it so that the guide pins on the hinge fit into their respective holes on the dash cross-bar. Once the glovebox is in position, secure it with the two Phillips head screws. (See Figure 4.)

These Wombats Sure Do Love Getting Belly Rubs
Most people have never met a wombat, but if you ever do, be sure to rub his belly. Apparently they just love that.
Okay, that may or may not be zoologist-endorsed advice, but we're just going by what we see on the Internet. That's good policy, right? Anyway, wombats look kind of like some combination of a koala bear and a guinea pig, which means yes, they are rather adorable. And the whole rolling over for a belly rub is really, really endearing. It's almost unfair, actually. COME HERE, WOMBAT! LEMME RUB YOUR BELLY!

Mark van Herpen published his first comic in a Dutch 1980s comics annual, after participating in a contest by publisher Arboris. In the early 1990s he published in a strip Striptuur, the magazine published by comics shop Haagse Stripshop, and was also present in Jet Magazine of publisher Lombard. He then assisted Minck Oosterveer on both 'Claudia Brücken' and 'Jack Pott' for a period of two years. Van Herpen then lived in Nepal for five years, to do development work. During this period he created his comic 'Hotel Nevelzicht', that was published in Suske en Wiske Weekblad in 1994. Van Herpen worked as a graphic designer for many years before returning to 'Hotel Nevelzicht' for Eppo magazine from 2009 until early 2015. He also makes a monthly cartoon for De Rotonde, a local paper from the town of Eemnes.

Three years ago, Britain's National Theatre launched an ambitious experiment: high-definition satellite broadcasts of live performances beamed from its home on London's South Bank to movie screens around the world. One of these was the Amherst Cinema, and Pothole Pictures in Shelburne Falls soon joined the queue.
The multi-camera HD capture technology puts the cinema patron essentially in the front row of the theater. Long shots are intercut with closeups to approximate the shifts of attention one gives to an in-person performance. It's a cinema event, to be sure, but one that, for this theatergoer anyway, comes gratifyingly close to being there (and for a fraction of the London ticket price, not to mention the airfare).
Now comes the opening production in the fourth NT Live season, which brings an added perspective to the stage-to-screen experience. It's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, a daring stage version of Mark Haddon's extraordinary best-seller, staged in the round in the National's intimate Cottesloe Theatre and starring the extraordinary Luke Treadaway.
The novel is narrated by Christopher, a 15-year-old who's on the autistic spectrum (the assumption is Asperger's syndrome). Highly intelligent but lost like Alice in a baffling, intimidating world, he's a math prodigy with a photographic memory, a cargo of obsessions and phobias, and a literal interface with the world that makes him unable to decipher social cues. What begins with the boy's Sherlockian mission to solve the murder of a neighborhood dog leads to an epic quest through terrifying dangers. His journey to London, an ordinary train ride for most of us, becomes a truly heroic act of courage, determination and endurance.
Translating the novel's first-person viewpoint to the stage brings in multiple points of view: the boy's mother, father, teachers, neighbors and the myriad intimidating strangers he encounters on his journey. Playwright Simon Stephens has done a bit of metatheatre, putting the narrative in the mouth of Christopher's special-ed teacher as she reads his account and turns it into a play: the play we're now watching.
But the director and designers manage to also keep us inside the boy's head. The floor of the bare stage is seeded with a complex grid of LEDs which trace the geometric patterns of Christopher's consciousness, from the layout of houses on his street to the algebraic equations in his head. The digital designs, along with intricate ensemble movement sequences, are captured by a camera high above the stage—the view from the Cottesloe balcony. With this innovation, each cinemagoer gets not just the best seat in the house, but all the best seats in the house.
As stage technology grows ever more sophisticated, it can sometimes overwhelm the live drama (think Spiderman). But it can also enhance the experience for both the on-site audience and those watching from afar. The spectrum of theatrical conventions and new technologies marshaled for this show here combine uniquely and exhilaratingly to bridge the divide between page and stage and between stage and screen.
P.S.: On the night of the live capture, most of the Cottesloe audience stayed in the their seats after the curtain call. You should, too.
Encore screenings of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time happen Sept. 22 and Oct. 6, 1 p.m., Amherst Cinema, (413) 253-2547, amherstcinema.org.

Chloe's 5th birthday party was a success! We hosted 16 kids plus their parents, and even now I find it remarkable that everyone seemed to fit in our home without seeming crazy crowded. Chloe loved having all her friends over and the 5 "art stations" seemed to entertain and engage the kids, despite a span of ages. They could choose what they wanted to do, when they wanted to do it (and I was secretly glad to not have to organize any group games). And when party goers were done with craft projects they were free to roam outside to the sand table and play structure, or into Chloe's room for dress-up, or Leo's room for trucks and train table. It was great!
I didn't take as many photos as usual, but here are a few shots snapped with my phone to show a little of our setup:
Our main dining table was Station #1, painting. Each place had a set of (washable) watercolors (from this Crayola 24ct setcomes with 3 individual sets of 6 colors), a paintbrush, a bowl of water and a piece of watercolor paper set up for the kids to make their masterpieces.
Station #2 was a Play-Doh table. I purchased a 24ct pack of rainbow Play-Doh and set out our rolling/cutting play tools. The colors were vibrant and lots of fun to mix and mash.
Station #3 was a collage table. I set out our collection of decorative edged scissors, stickers, colored glue sticks and a variety of paper for the kids to craft up a storm.
Station #4 was a decorate-your-own-cookie project. I originally saw this idea on Green Owl Art and decided it was perfect for little hands. I cut out cardboard circles as well as foam "icing" and purchased the same collection of stickers from Michaels. Easy to do and with really cute results.
Station #5 held wooden beads to make beaded bracelets. It included a set of Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Stringing Beads set and the Melissa and Doug Bead Bouquet set. I think the kids really liked being able to include their names on their bracelets and the Bead Bouquet set had a nice variety of shaped and painted beads. I cut each necklace-length cord into 3 equal pieces (singeing the severed ends with a lighter so they wouldn't unravel), so that every attendee could make at least one bracelet. Since the kits didn't come with enough closure beads I supplemented them with lanyard snaps.
Besides the snack table backdrop, the only other "decorating" we had time for that morning (besides balloons) was to line the pass-through from the living room to the kitchen with rainbow-colored crepe paper streamers as we have in the past. Young kids love to run through them and watch them flutter back into place. Plus they really give a visual bang for the buck, which is always nice. The snack table itself held a little less than usual since two of our young guests have severe food allergies. Good thing their moms are such avid ingredient readers, as I overlooked a detail even though I was trying to be careful.
Overall, this party was the perfect blend of what Chloe wanted to do to and the amount of effort I wanted to put into the planning and details. I sometimes wonder if I don't do enough (or if I do too much), but this one felt just about right. There is no doubt that Chloe loved every minute. Afterwards, I received several sweet and heart warming comments and emails from moms who really thought it was a terrific time. Pretty much the best any mom could ask for. 🙂
P.S. To make it easy on myself I linked to the products above on Amazon, but purchased almost everything locally. For example the Play-Doh came from Target and the best price on the Melissa and Doug beads came from Home Goods.
I also found a few things at Dollar Tree, which is always worth checking before a party. I purchased the left set of Elmer's Colored Glue Sticks
at Dollar Tree for $1, but then saw them a few days later at Michaels retailing for $5.99. Sometimes it pays to shop around!

Bucs drop consolation match of ITA Kickoff Weekend
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 28, 2012) – The No. 58 ETSU men's tennis team wrapped up its ITA Kickoff Weekend in Lexington, falling 4-0 to No. 57 North Carolina State in the consolation round.
"We're just not match ready," Director of ETSU Tennis Yaser Zaatini said. "I'm responsible for this because I don't have them ready to play. We let go of too many chances, and leave too many unconverted opportunities on the table.
"I know we're trying our hearts out, but we just cannot afford to squander every chance we have. Every time we're up, the opponents turn the match around on us, and every time we're behind, they're able to close us out. We lose the matches when we're ahead, and when the other team is ahead we can't catch them. We're climbing uphill and against the wind."
The loss comes a day after ETSU (0-2) fell to No. 22 Tulsa 4-1 on day one of the four-team tournament, managing just one point from senior Jeremy Bonnevalle's (Keerbergen, Belgium) victory at the No. 3 singles position. Saturday, the Bucs played in tighter matches with the Wolfpack but could not come away with any points.
NC State (5-1) got the day rolling when Robbie Mudge and Jamie Pulgar def. Bonnevalle and Roger Ordeig (Gurb, Spain) 8-3 to put the Wolfpack up 1-0 for the doubles point. The Bucs fought back to even up the score as senior Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) and junior Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) def. Julian Sullivan and Sean Weber at the No. 1 doubles slot, 9-8 (4).
With the doubles point up for grabs, Juan Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay) and Jorge Varon (Valencia, Venezuela) entered a tiebreak at 8-8 with NC State's Dominic Hodgson and Matt Thomson. In a close breaker, Ramirez and Varon fell 7-5 to award NC State the day's first point.
Singles play started out well for the Wolfpack as well, taking the first set in three of the four matches on court. NC State then managed to take two matches in straight sets as Mudge def. Ramirez at the No. 3 6-3, 6-4, and Hodgson def. Bandres at the No. 2 6-0, 6-4.
Gille, the only Buccaneer to win his first set, went to a tiebreak in the second set with Pulgar at the No. 1 singles slot. The Belgian gave ETSU its first chance at a point, but dropped the tiebreak in a battle, 10-8. His third set went unfinished with the match score at 6-3, 6-7 (8), 3-4.
Ramirez, after dropping set one 6-1 to No. 100 Powell at the No. 4 singles position, went to a tiebreak and kept the Bucs hopes alive with a 7-6 (2) set victory. The Paraguayan ultimately fell to Powell in three sets, dropping the third by a score of 6-3.
ETSU continues its tough schedule next Thursday, Feb. 2, when it travels to Atlanta to take on current No. 69 Georgia State.

At ten months of age and after five months of training one of our newest stars has finally made her show debut. Dragon, one of two Sooty Owls hand-raised by keeper Grey Fisher, has flown into her role in the 3 pm show with great success. Her routine allows a volunteer from the audience to get a very close encounter as the young owl swoops over their heads. She often gets so close that her tail feathers brush their forehead! The volunteer can try to get a real-time photo moment as the owl flies over their head, but it's OK if their timing is off because they can also get a very close up shot while she poses on her stump. Dragon's sister Phoenix is not far off from her debut either and recently did a training session with lucky volunteer, Galina, who talks about the very close experience below.My adventures with Phoenix the Sooty Owl began by getting called to sit on a tree stump on stage and experience this magnificent bird flying straight at me from the back of the theatre. Phoenix flew so close that I could feel her wings brush the hair off my face and I could see the sheer excitement of flying in her eyes. I was given the opportunity to record a video of the whole event as it was happening. A picture afterwards completed this unique encounter which I would definitely recommend you volunteer for the next time you see the show.If you are interested in this "Close Encounter of the Bird Kind" be sure make the bird show one of your destinations on your next visit.

Now that Google has wrapped up the application period for its open access, 1Gbps fiber testbed, we know that more than 1,000 US cities want the network. Only a couple will get it, though; what's going to happen to everyone else?
Broadband consultant Craig Settles and Greensboro, North Carolina fiber booster Jay Ovittore have joined forces to start "Communities United for Broadband." The idea is simple: create a place where communities can share strategies for moving forward with high-speed broadband plans—even if Google says no to their bid.
Pent-up demand
Enthusiasm about broadband has been running high, especially during the last 18 months. In 2009, President Obama's stimulus bill set aside billions for broadband. That money, now being dispersed, is already funding plenty of regional and middle-mile projects, and it encouraged communities to think more carefully about how broadband could be made better. Then came the National Broadband Plan, which has inspired broadband discussion over the last year and now promotes some major changes like providing Universal Service Fund money to broadband providers instead of phone companies.
But no local mayor jumped in a shark tank or changed its city's name to get federal broadband stimulus funds. It took Google's out-of-the-blue announcement earlier this year to really bring broadband excitement from governments down to the grassroots level. With so much enthusiasm generated by the project, and with cities having spent so much time to collect all sorts of useful data about their own communities, now would seem the perfect opportunity for people to take their broadband destiny into their own hands—with or without Google.
That's what Settles and Ottivore hope to do. They're starting with a Facebook group to coordinate broadband boosters around the country. Already, a few hundred people have signed on, among them many local administrators of the Google fiber bids.
Google's project really "brought into focus what the value of broadband is," Settles tells Ars. Even before the project has been built, Google's announcement has woken people up to what's possible; maximum speeds of 6Mbps from a local DSL provider simply aren't state-of-the-art. People want more, they know it's possible, but many see no way to get it from existing providers.
Everyone wanted a piece of the Google action because the company was ready to build the network itself, pledging to charge users quite reasonable rates for access. But if municipalities or regional governments are going to get into the fiber-building game, that's a different and much scarier proposition, with real tax money on the table.
Settles is no stranger to these issues, having just written a book called Fighting the Next Good Fight: Bringing true broadband to your community, but he says that "we're not in the pitchfork business" when it comes to dealing with incumbents. If existing companies will provide the services that local residents want, fine. If communities can use the recent wave of broadband excitement to encourage new entrants or nonprofits to deploy fiber, terrific. But if no one steps up to the plate, Settles encourages local governments to take the initiative themselves.
"I believe incumbents are unaware of, or unconcerned with, the depth of people's dislike for their service provider as well as the lack of broadband competition," he said in the official announcement. "The fact that, spending almost no money and making no concrete offers, Google generated so many community and individual responses within just seven weeks clearly shows how much incumbents have failed the market. Our effort on Facebook gives communities one path to helping correct this failure."
The page is already stimulating discussion. When one participant asked about starting a "fiber co-op, akin to the farmer's co-ops, that allows cities to band together for bargaining purposes and equipment purchases," another person offered to talk, saying, "We are already down this road and would love to help others along in other communities."
As Settles noted in our conversation, there aren't many "best practices" in this area. What works? What doesn't? Certainly, as municipal involvement with free WiFi a few years back showed us, there are good ways and bad ways to get governments involved in infrastructure buildouts. Sharing information, pooling resources, and grouping buying power should help, though Google could certainly do its part by producing detailed best practices guides for ISPs based on its own experience building the 1Gbps testbed.
Last week, Google seemed to hint at just such a plan. "Wherever we decide to build," the company wrote, "we hope to learn lessons that will help improve Internet access everywhere. After all, you shouldn't have to jump into frozen lakes and shark tanks to get ultra high-speed broadband."

Help fight infection during hospital visits
You can contribute to healthcare safety.
While you are visiting at the hospital, many people will enter your loved one's room, doctors, nurses and aides. The information on this page will help make this a safe and comfortable experience for all.
Don't be afraid to ask:
- To see the ID of everyone who comes into the patient room
- The staff to check the ID of the patient, if you don't see or hear them check
- If they washed their hands -- even ask them to do again, where you can see
- Why tests are being done, when they will happen, and when you will get results
You, your family and friends should wash hands:
- After touching objects or surfaces in the hospital room
- Before eating
- After using the restroom
Wash your hands with soap and warm water for 15 to 20 seconds - the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice or whistle the "Final Jeopardy" theme once.
You may also use an alcohol-based hand cleaner. Apply in the palm of your hand, and rub hands together in a washing motion until your hands are dry. Be sure to get the fingers and both sides of the hands.
We encourage you and your family members to be part of our patient care team. We offer the following information sheets that offer infection control advice for specific hospital-related situations:
- What You Can Do to Lower Your Risk of Infection When Having Surgery
- Catheter Associated Bloodstream infections

Mrs. V. G. Armistead,"
2616 Royal Street, N.O."
My Dear Madame:-
On my return from attendance at the recent Gettysburg Celebration held July 1, 2
& 3, inst., I found a letter awaiting me from my brother at Holmesville, Miss., with
inclosure of a contribution to the N.O. Times-Democrat of Sunday, June 23, signed Flo
Field, under the caption:-"Jere Gage, Hero Gettysburg", with reproduced photograph."
My brother suggested that no doubt you and your sisters, Mrs. C. G. Parsons, of
N.O., and Mrs. Ada G. Dabbs, of Quitman, Miss., whose names appeared in the article,"
doubtless would appreciate a letter from me, telling the facts and circumstances of how
Jere died, as I was there at the time. He was one of the noblest boys I ever knew, and was
my college mate at the state university, my mess mate during the war as a member of the
University Grays, later known in military annals as Company A, 11th Miss. Vols. Inf.)
Davis' Brigade, Heth's Division, A.P. Hill's Corps, in the Army of Northern Virginia. I
was at the university from '58 to '61, he having graduated in '60 and entered the law
school at Oxford in the fall of '60. So, it will be seen, I was an intimate personal friend
and an long time associate of his. We were together during the war from the time of
enlistment in May '61 up to Gettysburg, where on July 3, '63 he yielded up his splendid
young life on that famous battlefield. I'm sending you herein a copy of the inscription on

Richard SwerseyEdit
- I don't want to have to do this living. I just walk around. I want to be swept off my feet, you know? I want my children to have magical powers. I am prepared for amazing things to happen. I can handle it.
- You know some kids don't even have one home and now you get to have two. Think about that.
- We will never touch your foot with our hands. Now I'll tell you what I can do, I can press on the shoe to see if it fits. I can go like this. [presses the toe of the shoe]
- [after taking off the bandage from his hand] It needs air. It needs to do some living. Let's take my hand for a walk.
- I would love to believe in a universe where you wake up and don't have to to go to work and you step outside and meet two beautiful 18-year-old sisters who are also girlfriends and are also very nice people.
- But this is better 'cause it won't matter if we mess up. And we'll be together.

- Peter: What? What does that mean?
- Robby: Like I'll poop into her butthole and she'll poop it back... into my butthole and then we'll just keep doing it back and forth. With the same poop. Back and forth. Forever.
- Christine Jesperson: [seeing his bandage] Whoa, what happened?

- Christine Jesperson: I don't think I deserve it.
- Richard Swersey: Well, not consciously maybe.

- Richard Swersey: People think that foot pain is a fact of life, but life is actually better than that.

- Sylvie: You want to be a little bird and get a little worm? Just lie down and peep.
- Robby: Peep, peep, peep.
- Andrew: Dude, did you just give her the family discount?
- Richard Swersey: Yeah. She's my neighbor, and I'm trying to work on my karma. Do you know what karma means?
- Andrew: Yeah.
- Richard Swersey: It means that she owes me one.
- Michael: I just wish I had met her 50 years sooner.
- Christine Jesperson: Yeah.
- Michael: But then maybe I needed 70 years of life to be ready for a woman like Ellen.
- Sylvie: Soup won't be computerized.
- Housewares Saleswoman: Why not?
- Sylvie: It's a liquid.
- Peter Swersey: I'd live up there if I could, if there was no gravity
- Sylvie: Yeah, but if you lived up there, all the stuff in my room would fall on you and crush you and you'd die
- Christine Jesperson: But she's the love of your life, You're just going to let her go?
- Michael: No, she's just going...
- Robby: Mom says we have a chore wheel.
- Richard Swersey: What?
- Peter Swersey: Nothing.
- Robby: A chore wheel. You put chores on it and then you can spin it. There's this metal thing and it helps it to spin. It's spinning from the metal.

For some, summertime brings opportunity to travel. Getaways to far-flung places allow for exploration of varied geography, cultures, lifestyles, and food. Journeys afar bring an array of new people and experiences to broaden our horizons and enlighten us in many ways.
But we should also consider that those who are open-minded, curious, and willing to learn may view the community right outside their window as a diverse environment for engagement and discovery. We can challenge existing preconceptions and learn about ourselves and others if we take the time to empathize and reflect—even in our own backyards.
Home is where we might make the greatest impact with this awareness should we choose to make an impression, help a cause, or provide a service.
Greater understanding of our immediate surroundings and our neighbors can lead to conversation, collaboration, and appreciation for how and what motivates us, singly and collectively. We are interconnected, and informed interactions will lead to beneficial outcomes because we know what each of us needs to succeed.
Survey the workplace landscape
You might not even have to venture outside to make discoveries. Read on for the latest news on what's happening in the office.
Does management have open and honest interaction with staff? There may be room for improvement, according to CNN Money. Survey results indicate 84% of "non-desk" workers "don't get enough information from top management, while 75% said their employers aren't telling them enough about changes in policies and goals."
Messages from senior officers are deemed important by 74% of respondents who are "left in the dark." It is imperative that front-line employees, as visible representatives of the organization, know what is expected of them because "a few bad customer experiences are enough to blow it."
If you are a curious manager and want to know what staffers think, look into "10 Ways to Get Honest Feedback from Your Employees." Some suggestions from the Young Entrepreneur Council will provide inroads to positive communications:
Often, job realities are different than what's expected, according to the "Glassdoor Blog." A small majority of new hires claim job realities do not align with expectations presented during the hiring process. Some points of confusion arise among the issues of job responsibility, company culture, leadership competence, career advancement, and the personality of the boss.
Both job candidates and hiring managers are responsible for good communications. Managers must engage with candidates throughout the process, be honest, and allow other employees to share their experiences.
Candidates need to know what they want in a position, be attentive, and research prospective employers.
Home in on consumer sentiments
"Customers have preferences for how they interact with a bank to meet various banking needs," says Gallup in "How Customers Interact With Their Banks."
Were you aware that:
Detailed charts and graphs will provide further illumination as to how best serve your members in various venues.
If you hope to facilitate more online interactions, see "Banks: Get Your Customers to Go Digital."
Consumer migration to less-costly digital channels involves a manageable level of risk. "Understanding how customers are likely to react…to impending changes is a critical first step—and one that can help…avoid a drop in customer engagement, revenue, profitability and customer retention."
The study suggests defining channel-use strategies, offering consumers positive or negative incentives, exploring "positive defaults" (opting out vs. opting in), and providing a "technology concierge" to assist with change.
Making a switch to technology for some consumers is easy, says Luxury Daily, reporting that 73% of users want to interact with loyalty programs via their mobile devices. "Many marketers are talking about mobile as a channel for acquiring and engaging customers…" and "there is a need for marketers to focus on reaching loyalty members in the right context and right channel."
The article provides strategies for mobile service delivery, although 46% "said they want to receive communications from three or more channels."
Issues surrounding mobile engagement and other new technologies are further reported in "The Digital Commerce Revolution" by strategy+business. Managers need standards and practices to drive digital growth. All devices, advertising channels, and media types are important considerations; timing is crucial.
"A focused digital commerce strategy can be a game changer for most businesses, and can become the foundation for multichannel revenue expansion that is enabled across devices and powered by compelling content and insights."
It is a big world out there, and we can't learn all there is to know. But we can practice good communication, tap into curiosity, empathize, and maintain awareness through the exploration of many accessible information sources. There is a lot we can learn right at home.
In the words of Tim Berners Lee, the British inventor credited with creating the World Wide Web—and one who has contributed immensely to shrinking the globe with the easy exchange of information—"We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges."

Preach it, brother. :)
I tried an Ace Pear Cider last night. Decently tasty, tart and not too sweet.
O,o - That pic looks like the town is sliding into a lake.
I've lived in Oregon off and on. Portland from 99-08, Corvallis from 10-12. Did my scuba training in Eugene (final open water in Florence).
When Pantea sucks dick, it's no joke.
There is nothing loose about those shorts.
And lenino, from the perspective of wedgie-prevention, yes.
I'm just thinking about their comfort, mind you.
Those shorts look uncomfortable.
Tbf, the question was re: oDrew's god specifically, though, and IIRC, oDrew is a Catholic, so merely having urges, desiring contrary to God's will, is itself a sin. (Catechism 1871)
Actually, I have not either. But it's cool, we cool.
I already mentioned, kilts =/= skirts. Why does it need to be "made for men"? Just wear a "made for women" skirt and blouse that fits you.
I suppose if you really need it labeled "for men",...
I was debating mentioning kilts, but decided that still had the cop-out of "it's manly enough". I say if AHS wants to wear a skirt and blouse, he should just do it.
Where is it writ that men can't wear those too?
I'd heard the same thing about Norwegian men, but that didn't seem to stop you from marrying one.
*ducks and runs*
Well, yeah.
Little in the middle but you got much back?
It might not be fair, but it is awesome. ;)
For the record, I have the best birthday - countries on the Gregorian calendar tend to ring in my birthday with fireworks, the world over.
I always dug dark lip liner around lighter, similarly-shaded lipstick, combat boots, and a sports bra. Pants, skirt or shorts are variable.
Oh, alternatively, clothing-wise, pin stripe suit pants...
D'awwww. <3
Heh... could be cool. They posted up a date for the Phoenix casting call, and I downloaded the physical application. It looks like the process is that you get 3 minutes to plate...
Random recent events:
My wife is in her second year of residency, currently working many 24 shifts.
Played a disc golf tournament up on Mt. Lemmon, came in dead last (but managed to finish,...
You're using that word wrong. I could accept "testimony", but "evidence" is taking it a tad far, don't you think?
Pretty damn adorable. Congrats again, mate.
At 10 bucks a suckie, your name is whatever I tell you it is.
Should you really talk, Mr. "Nobody blows old dudes as well as me."?

Yesterday I read It's Like Having My Own Card Shop explain the reasoning for his blog name. (He's having a contest, check it out). It was a tale of a glorious childhood in which there were five card shops within 10 minutes of his home.
He used to spend hours at the card shop. But later, as we've all experienced, life took over and the number of card shops dwindled, and now we're all online trying to recapture that local card shop experience.
Well, some of us are anyway.
I'm not, because I never had that card shop experience.
This is probably why I have had so much trouble with my current card shop in the past and with most card shops that I have encountered. But I know this is a very, very, very small sample size because quite honestly, I've never been in a situation that was described by Daniel in It's Like Having My Own Card Shop.
My childhood LCS experience was limited to one visit to one card shop.
I grew up in a small city about 3 hours from where I live now. As kids, a card shop wasn't even a thought. The corner store and the drug store in the strip mall were your outlets for baseball cards. My friends and the kids at school traded and displayed cards that they bought at Paul's Market or Rexall Drugs.
Later, when I was a little older and wiser about cards, I began to hear about a card shop in the next town over, Johnson City. My brother and I really wanted to get there, but neither of us drove and the next town over might as well have been Chicago for us.
Eventually, we convinced our dad to take a drive over there. He waited in the car while we went into the store. It was in a small, one-story nondescript building, connected to another store front that sold flowers or haircuts or, I don't know, there were baseball cards in the other store!!!!!!
We walked into the store, which was small inside, too (that means it must have been very, very small because you know how things seem bigger when you're a kid). I don't remember much except impressions.
The main overriding impression was that we weren't wanted there.
I remember the counter being very high up, it was up one level from where the customers stood. It was a long glass case, almost the entire length of the store, and we had to strain to see what was up on top of the counter -- lord knows we couldn't afford what was in the glass case.
I knew immediately that I couldn't buy anything and that packs seemed to be nonexistent (keep in mind this was probably somewhere in the late '70s, long before autographs, relics, refractors, etc.). The guy behind the counter seemed almost disgusted that we were there. This is why "comic book guy" on the Simpsons cracked me up from the instant he showed up on my TV (even though there were no comic books in the store), and why I know my experience is not unique.
My younger brother, though, was a little more daring and he asked about some card or another. It took awhile for him to get the guy's attention and when he finally did, the guy was dismissive during the entire transaction. I don't remember what my brother bought. I'm sure it was Red Sox-related.
After that, I never went into that card shop again. We would drive past it periodically and laugh about how we were treated. But there was always a little longing in those laughs. Years later, when I was going to a community college, I'd drive that way to school. I noticed that the building was painted a different color (it was purple) and the card shop wasn't there anymore.
That experience made me a little gun shy around card shops, and it's taken years to get rid of that feeling. It's a lot like being in a bar for the first time that is filled with regulars and trying to get the attention of the bartender for a drink.
During a visit to Buffalo a few years ago, I discovered there was a card shop not far from where I was. I made the drive over and it was filled with cardboard glory. Cards everywhere. Disorganized, sure. But almost everything you could want. "THIS," I thought. "Must be what people are talking about."
The owner was pretty young and extremely helpful. I got the impression that he was desperately trying to compete with Dave and Adam's Card World, which you all know and which is based in Buffalo with a number of "brick-and-mortar" stores in the area.
Unfortunately, I've never gone back. My trips to Buffalo are packed and it's hard to get away to places like that. I hope it's still there. But I doubt it is.
The card shop in my town, which I've addressed many times, is a shell of what it once was, and even that wasn't great. I always felt like an outsider when I walked in there and talked to people, and I always felt like they were trying to get me to buy something more expensive than what I wanted.
I know there are nice card shops out there. I read about them almost every day on the blogs. But basically the best time I've ever had with cards was not in a card shop. It was here.
But that's a lot of writing about a sad story and a lot of writing without any cards.
So here are a couple of items that Weston of Fantastic Catch sent me:
You guys are my card shop.
And most of you are a lot friendlier than that guy in the store in Johnson City. And comic book guy.

Comcast's iPad app could launch in November
Comcast has developed an application that turns the iPad into a remote control for your cable box, complete with a search function.
The company hasn't announced a release date, but executive vice president David Cohen told me yesterday that it will come by year end, possibly in November.
In addition to the basic TV guide, you'll be able to flip through on-demand movies much in the same way you flip through a Netflix library. The movie (or TV show) will show up on your TV screen with the tap of a finger.
The app will also include a social networking feature that allows you to invite "online" friends to watch the same show or movie.
The best feature, though, will be the search function. The ability to find a show or movie by typing the name rather than having to flip through a channel guide is long overdue.
I assume Comcast will have versions for other operating systems and devices. Back in May, Comcast demo'd it as an iPad app. It was also shown to me yesterday on an iPad. You'll need an Internet connection to use the app.

As most of us know, we need to drink more water, but even in concept it can come off as a chore. The Aqua Zinger offers a fun new way to enjoy drinking water and reduce food cravings. With the Aqua Zinger you can drink significantly more water and still satisfy your palate, as well as your body's need for hydration and energy.
The Aqua Zinger water bottle works by subtly infusing water with flavors. From cucumber to lemon and lime, to blackberries, kiwi, strawberry, peach, ginger, or even mint – your Aqua Zinger can infuse them all. Mix and match and get creative; the flavors and ingredients are only limited by your imagination.
The Aqua Zinger has the unique ability to create all-natural beverage options, as well as help increase the frequency of water consumption. (When water is this delicious, it's hard to avoid!) With Zing, the naturally-flavored waters are flavorful and refreshing.
A leak-proof cap is included so you can Zing in the car, on the treadmill, at the office – anywhere on the go.
Re-use and Cleaning:
The recommended shelf life of Aqua Zings is seven days, if refrigerated. All mixtures should stay refrigerated after mixing. If you plan to consume your Zing creation within 12 hours, chilling is not required.

Where reviews refer to foods or cosmetic products, results may vary from person to person. Customer reviews are independent and do not represent the views of The Hut Group.
I was really excited to use this new drink bottle. The advert looked fab, however when i started using it - it leaked everywhere. Such a disappointment, so I hope for a full refund!
This is such a great product. I bought this for my girlfriend but i end up using this more than her. Its sooooo nice. Great for people in mid twenties although this product is really for all age groups.
I have used this a lot since purchasing a couple of weeks ago. I was worried that it may be a waste of money at first as I used to infuse my water by just dropping some fruit in to a regular water bottle which worked fine but the aqua zinger really makes a difference; you get a much fuller flavour and no surprise pips!
It took me a while to decide whether or not to buy this, purely based on the mixed reviews it had. But since having gone through with the purchase, I can safely say that I am glad I did! All the reviews saying that it doesn't add any flavour to the water obviously like the artificially flavoured bottled waters you buy from a store, rather than the subtle, more refreshing flavour you get from water infused from real fruit. I will admit that some fruits have a stronger flavour than others but half the fun of this gadget is that it leaves you to experiment. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that wants a healthy flavoured water!
I get bored with plain water so I normally drink quite a lot of squash, but i've been finding it can get too sweet for drinking lots (and probably isn't too good to drink loads of anyway). I was wondering whether this was actually worth the money, but it was on offer so I thought I'd risk it... I love it! I've tried infusing water before just by putting fruit in with a jug of water and it wasn't all that nice - I used strawberries but it just was a bit horrid, but this works really well! I've tried strawberry and raspberry, lemon and lime, lemon and orange, and lemon and they've all been nice! I've refilled more than the recommended number of times and, whilst a bit weaker, it's still been nice on the third and even fourth refills. It's great to just pop in the fridge and grab when you fancy it. So glad I went for it!
Great idea but too small. It only holds 500ml & even if you have the chance to refill it it's still only 1 litre in total. This goes nowhere with the amount I drink in a day at work. Not quite sure who it's aimed at.
The aqua zinger is fab. I love experimenting with different water flavours using fruit and herbs. I love apple with cinnamon or watermelon and mint. I always keep a bag of frozen fruit in the freezer to pop in the bottom of the zinger when I need some refreshment. Buy this now!
It's a brilliant little invention, makes water taste so fresh and flavoured without all the artificial additives, I have had it for 2 weeks now and I don't think I could do without it! It follows me to work, to my weekend sporting events, on my bedside table! It's fantastic and I am not afraid of knocking it and spilling it!!! there are so many different combinations - it's no longer limited to the flavoured water selection that I can find in the shops! It's wonderful and refreshing!!! It's so easy to do, easy to clean and so tasty to drink!!! I would recommend this to anyone!! and everyone! It's a healthy change that tastes so nice!!
Easy way of incorporating more fruit every day.
