There's a Star Wars cookbook???? (Of course there is)
There are at least 2 modern ones. "Wookiee Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook " (1998) and "The Star Wars Cookbook II -Darth Malt and More Galactic Recipes" (2000).]]>
I think currently that even though there's quite a lot to talk about these days in regards to Fett and Mandalorians, people are just busy or are posting on different forums.]]>
There was a lot of bad blood surrounding one of the members who decided to leave the forum that kept me away for a while. But now that that nastiness is over I browse a lot but I just haven't been interested in most of the topics. Maybe it's just the season. People are thinking about other things than BF?
I know what you mean. That particular member's departure was...uhh controversial. Things were said that folks probably didn't mean. I have learned to take that kinda stuff in stride.
I have a HARD teacher this year and life has just been busy lately. I always get on when I have time.]]>

In the limelight - Los Lonely Boys
Published 7:00 am, Wednesday, February 23, 2011
By Graham Dixon
The Horseshoe Arena was largely empty at 7 p.m. last Sunday for the opening act of the West Texas Music Fest, presented by the Catholic Churches of South Odessa and Fast Talk'n Productions. The audience was also sparse when Willie Nelson's daughter, Paula, and her band, The Guilty Pleasures, took the stage at about 8:20 p.m. There were a few more people when Los Lonely Boys ripped into an explosive set at just before 10 -- but still most of the Arena's seats were empty.
Perhaps it was the steep ticket prices, or maybe the Sunday night timing, together with a lack of advertising -- but whatever the cause, something had obviously gone distinctly wrong with the publicity for Music Fest.
Those who could have filled the cavernous emptiness of most of the Arena missed three contrasting acts that made for a surreal atmosphere that varied from a bar-like feeling with Jarrett Schaub and Paula Nelson, and an extended sound-check by some mega-band when Los Lonely Boys were on stage.
Jarrett Schaub and his band were good enough as opening acts go, but suffered from a schizophrenic uncertainty as to what type of music they were playing. Thus the famous Elvis song "Suspicious Minds" was delivered with a thunderous bass rather than the subdued, almost taunting little runs of the original. Unless a band can bring something original to the song, I think that "Folsom Prison Blues" should be banned from the cover repertoire. Their "Sister Golden Hair" was better, a passable homage to the America hit. "Natalie" was interesting -- introduced as a "country punk song," it veered aggressively from one genre for to the other. Their cover of the Hendrix classic "Red House" started uncertainly, but ended with a certain amount of fire -- albeit sputtering.
A different, languid type of heat exudes from Paula Nelson and her band. She has a casually seductive, but undeniably powerful voice that moves easily from ballad to country rock. Nelson was wearing a cap that hid the top third of her face in deep shadow -- I was expecting her to take it off about half-way through her set, as her father tends to remove his cowboy hat. But disappointingly, this did not occur. Nelson has such an open and natural demeanor -- friendly with the audience without being cloying -- that she should show her face openly. Perhaps it is something about being one of Willie Nelson's children -- her brother hides under a large hat when playing his blues guitar.
Nelson's songs included a beautiful version of "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and a spirited "Riddles and Rhymes." Her anthem to past boyfriends managed to be both funny and melancholy. She is backed by a solid band, including consummate lead guitarist Landis Armstrong, and a deceptively reticent bassist, Chris Johnson.
Obviously being the offspring of a music legend does not hinder a musical career, but Paula Nelson neither relies upon this foundation nor milks it. She has a silky voice and songwriting ability that would have assured her success without that last name.
Before Los Lonely Boys came on stage we enjoyed an unheralded drum solo from Tony Miranda, longtime drummer for Madonna. He started with his own invention -- fingerstix -- which are little drum sticks attached to your fingers. I have never seen or heard anything quite like it. A great treat for the audience -- adding to the jam-like atmosphere of the evening. Indeed, sitting or standing in the seats that were filled immediately in front of the stage, the audience could soon forget that most of the arena was largely empty.
Los Lonely Boys came on at a little before 10. Henry Garza is as exciting and virtuosic as anyone can be on lead guitar without entering that rarefied region of the real greats whose sound is immediately recognizable. His Marshall amps scream, as if he is channeling the sadly-departed guitarists of the past. Listening to him, I understood why the immortal Santana would want to play with the band. Yes, they are that good. Jojo Garza is one of those rare bassists who transforms his instrument into a fully expressive vehicle rather than a supporting act. The synergy between the two brothers is fascinating to behold. Their other sibling, the humorously named "Ringo" on drums, appears to have about six hands he plays so fast and fluidly.
Perhaps Henry could explore some of the slower, more reflective moments that he starts songs with more fully. There are "Little Wing" echoes of SRV and Hendrix -- but he needs to extend them into complete songs.
But as a whole, Los Lonely Boys are about good as it gets.
So the West Texas Music Fest was a peculiar affair in some ways -- mainly due to the lack of an audience and those hundreds upon hundreds of empty seats. But those who were there received their money's worth and more.

"Come on… I dared you." I could hear the smirk in Diana's voice. That bitch! I refuse to give her any satisfaction by showing her my horror stricken face so I stare at my worst nightmare, Lockholm Cemetery.
This place is massive and separates the only Middle school and High school in town. Who would build schools right next to a cemetery!?
It's hard to remember when I began to hate this place.
All I know is that every night when I would walk home from middle school, I would never look at it. While walking pass the rusted iron gates my mind would make up tricks of hearing people whispering but I was too scared to look. Horror movies had cursed my mind that if I were to look, some creepy ghost would be looking at me through those bars.
The last time I was next to this cemetery was on my last day of middle school. From then on, I had avoided passing by it on my way home. Now, I'm a senior at Lockholm High School and I'm being forced to face this place because of a stupid dare.
"Eve you don't have to do this." My best friend, Candice grabs ahold of my arm as if she needed to hold me back. Being my friend since 7th grade she knows my distaste for this place.
"Yeah Eve, you could forfeit." I glare at Diana as she's smiling evilly at me.
That snide little…
"Let go of me Candice, I'm fine." I patted her arm in reassurance.
I have to do this for my crippling reputation at high school. Diana knows a secret about me that I haven't told anyone, even my best friend. It would ruin me.
I can't believe I was so stupid to let, of all people, Diana find out. Diana is the typical royal queen bitch of high school; she steals boyfriends and gets "geeks" to do her schoolwork.
I used to be one of those geeks until I stuck up for Candice, one of Diana's friends, when a girl in middle school made her cry. Soon I was brought into the elite crowd in Lockholm. Diana certainly didn't enjoy losing Candice to me, and she has had it out for me ever since.
"All you have to do is survive until the morning." Diana's stupid voice slid through my ear. My phone glowed 2:01 a.m.
"That's ridiculous. What is she going to do for that long, Diana?" Another girl, Beth, defended.
"I don't know. Walk around, talk to ghosts, hangout with the undead…make out…with them." She smirks at me and I glare at her in return.
Why did she have to drag out that word?
The other girls laughed at her joke but I knew the underlying of her words. She was being so obvious. I'm glad that most of the Lockholm High elites' are too ignorant to understand there was actually a meaning there.
Diana walks up to me and whispers, "You would like that wouldn't you."
I ignore her teasing smile.
"If you don't want to do this I could just tell everyone your little secret instead."
"Forget about it, Diana. After I do this you had better fuck off." I grab the small flashlight out of Candice's hands and walk through gates of Lockholm cemetery.
My worst nightmare was now a reality all because I slipped up this morning.
I had gotten to school early, no one was in sight. The sun was still coming up. But I always showed up to school early and for one reason.
Hanson Levin.
Yes, that's right I wake up at the crack of dawn for a boy. He is the tall, dark and handsome that all girls dream about. But much, much darker. And by darker I mean he's Goth. Before you go off thinking that I have this totally hot, secret romance going on with this guy, I'll have you know he hates me.
I have a crush on some guy that hates me? I know what you may be thinking. Though, I've tried to get myself to stop thinking about him, but every time I look at him…
Like right now. He is leaning up against the bike rakes of our school, a cigarette hanging between his lips. Hanson Levin wasn't like most of the guys at our school. I admired him for his differences, the long black hair and pale skin. Most of other guys here were jocks. And if you weren't a jock, you were a fake badass. But he was a real one. There was always a tough aura about him. His strong jaw and mean glare ensured that people would always keep their distance. Another put-off is that he has a huge record for beating the shit out of people. I've never seen him in action, so I just assume- or hope- that those are rumors. There are a lot of rumors about him. One of my favorites is that Hanson is a vampire… yeah, ridiculous.
His eyes are what scared everyone, but they are what drew me in. I could stare at them all day. They are such a light shade of blue, almost silver, that if you're not close enough they would appear to be white.
"We have a test today!?" The huge cry coming from an exasperated freshman walking passed me catches Hanson's attention, leading him to catch me blankly staring at him from around the corner.
I couldn't move, like a deer caught in headlights. Right when he met my gaze a huge zing went from my toes all the way to the top of my head, and settled back down in my stomach. I'm stuck. To embarrassed to move. Butterflies were in my stomach and in a matter of seconds my face started to flush, making it more obvious to him that I was totally peeping.
Why can't the ground swallow me whole?
Hanson didn't look mad, but he didn't look happy either. Maybe… a little surprised? I couldn't tell. How long had we been looking at each other like this? It had to be less than a minute. His eyes flicked behind me and his demeanor changed. Hanson's face showed disgust. He quickly stomped his cigarette out, picked up his black leather jacket and walked away.
"What was that I just saw?" My heart stopped at that whiny, annoying voice of Diana Wittleton.
No no no no no.
"What are you talking about?" I easily brushed off her accusing glare.
"Don't try playing cool and coy with me. I saw the whole thing, little Eve."
The whole thing? No, she couldn't have.
"I..um.." Geez, I couldn't make this any worse for myself. Usually I'm really good at handling what Diana dished at me, but being caught like this- I wasn't expecting it. As I was stuttering Diana's smile got brighter and brighter.
"Poor thing has a crush on.."
"Shut it." I looked around at the people walking into the school. Eyes were on us as they walked pass, and her big mouth was just about to give up my secret to the whole campus.
"You really know how to pick 'em, Eve. I am confused, though. Was it his eyeliner or his satanic worshiping that got you hooked?" She looked pleased with herself that she had finally found something against me.
"You don't actually believe that do you?" The kids in our town really worried me with the stories they came up with about people they didn't even know. Granted, I didn't know Hanson any more than the next person, but really? Satanic worshiping?
"Well, the whole school knows he's a freak. Wait until they hear that poor, innocent Eve is in love with Hanson Levin!" She let out a bark of evil laughter.
"You wouldn't!"
"Ha! So you don't deny it. More and more interesting… Okay. I won't tell anyone. But at Candice's annual Truth or Dare girl's night, you choose me to dare you."
It had to be at least 20 degrees colder in the cemetery than it was on the street. I pulled my jacket closer to my body and kept my eyes on where I was stepping. It would be my luck to fall into an open grave, and by the way this day was going- anything could happen.
After a long night of running around the town to complete outrageous dares, I just wanted to rest. Opting out of sitting on some dead guy, I huddled on the steps of a mausoleum for a bit while I looked around the graveyard- making certain no zombies would come crawling out of their graves to eat my brains.
I heard the tapping of shoes on marble and I immediately shined my flashlight at the door. After I assured myself that nothing was there, I felt a shiver run down my spine.
"It's so creepy..." I whined and reached for my cell to check the time.
"You not supposed to be here." A deep voice came from behind me.
Screaming, I threw my flashlight at the frightening voice and ran down the mausoleum steps. The voice cursed as the flashlight made contact. Managing to escape, I pressed my back up against the side of the building and tried to slow down my heart rate.
Wait a minute. I slowly peeked my head around the corner. Ghosts don't get hit with flashlights.
"What the fuck?" Hanson slowly leans down to pick up my ghost repellent. He quickly scans the grounds of the graveyards in front of him, barely catching me by the beam of light. With my heart pounding, I duck behind the wall again.
Oh, shit. Shit. Shit.
I turn off my inner monologue as I hear footsteps coming closer. I hold my breath and shimmy my way around the backside of the building. As soon as I see him walking away I push off in a sprint toward the front gate. But, I remember the dare… I can't leave yet.
Ducking behind a tombstone, I check my phone 2:34 a.m. I have only been here for half an hour? I stare in disbelief at the numbers. Lying back against the grave, I catch my breath and think about what I just saw.
What was Hanson doing walking around a cemetery? There was absolutely no reason for him to be out here. Maybe he was what all those rumors said. Vampire? Well, he was walking around in the darkbefore I threw my… Ah god, he has my flashlight. The realization that I was in complete darkness suddenly crept up on me. Trees didn't look like trees anymore to me but horrifically shaped hands and limbs. Screw it I'm getting out of here.
I turned around to peek over the tombstone.
"You can't be here, Ma'am. I'm going to have to escort you out."
I held back my scream and stare at Hanson's pissed off face. Wait, escort me? I can't let him do that! What if my girlfriends are waiting outside for me to chicken out? I was fine with high tailing it out of here by myself; but if they saw me with Hanson, they would freak!
"Sorry, I was just visiting a close relative of mine." I gestured to the tombstone in front of me. He shines my flashlight on the tombstone's name.
"Lin Takimashiri?" He stayed quite for a while, just staring at the name. Eh, I'm so busted.
"Well please continue, sorry I interrupted." He stepped back to give me some room. He can't be serious! I hear him clear his voice, "Is something wrong?"
"No, of course not. Um.." I kneel down and put my hands together, bowing my head. "Kon… nichi wa, sake-san, uh wasabi-san …" I was quickly running out of words, "uh sushi an a tofu isa… bueno…" I'll admit, this wasn't my best improvisation, but I went with it.
Chuckling from my right made me pause.
That asshole was intentionally making me look like an idiot for his amusement.
I stand up to glare at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't actually think you would go and do that." He gestures to me in front of the grave and then goes into a chuckling fest. It's weird seeing him smile so much- let alone laugh. Usually he has this badass smirk or the 'I'm-so-mad-that-it's-cool' look on his face.
He quickly calmed down, "You're going to have to leave though. Come on, Eve, it's time to go home." He reached out to get a hold of my arm and started walking.
"Wait a minute. You know my name?" I let him lead me away from the tombstone.
"Who doesn't?" He stated simply.
"I'm not that popular… but you knowing my name? I thought that you didn't give a crap about anyone."
"I don't." Ugh! What's with these two word answers?
I noticed that we were getting close to the front gates. Shit. I dug my heels into the ground, but he still pulled me along with an annoyed sigh.
"I can't… wait. Wait! I can't leave yet." I whispered to him frantically.
Then I did possibly the most stupid move ever. I became a muscle-less rag doll, dead-weighting in his grasp. Landing me flat on my face and eating dead people grass. Ugh, so gross.
"Shit, Eve, are you okay?" He looks so sweet, "What the fuck did you do that for?" and his sweetness was gone just as quickly as it had shown up.
I sit up from my awkward position on the ground.
"I can't leave." I look at him desperately, willing him to cooperate and not ask any questions.
He seats himself on the ground next to me.
"Well, why the hell not?" I just can't have things my way can I? I tried to think up a quick lie but nothing seems to make sense.
"I was dared to." I state simply.
"You were dared to?" His eyebrow arched up in disbelief. It looks like I wasn't being as convincing as I intended.
"Yes… Please, I have to stay here until morning or Diana will tell everyone that I …" I stuck in a deep breath to stop myself from finishing that sentence.
"Tell everyone what?"
"Um.. uh.." Come on. Think of something, brain. "I…uh…stuff my…bra?" Wow, good job brain. I slowly smile at him, but he's not looking at my face. His eyes were on my chest, probably contemplating how many tissues were lodged in there.
"Hey!" I cover up with my hands. "I'm not now! Diana is going to tell everyone I used to do that. Yeah… that's what I meant." This sounded pretty decent to me.
He gives me that your-crazy-look but then goes to stare at the ground. The awkward silence was dragging on for way too long.
"So what are you doing here?" I cross my arms and look around at the many of tombstones surrounding us.
"Oh, you know calling upon the dead. Here's a little secret for you…you can't tell anyone" He got in real close and whispered, "I'm a… vampire." I look at him, and he doesn't look to be joking.
"Aha, ha." Dear god…did that nervous laugh come from me?
"I had you there, didn't I?" He laughed but looked a tad disappointed. "So you believe those rumors too?"
"Of course not…" I immediately responded. "I just… you looked so serious… and I…"
"I'm here covering for my older brother." He interrupted my mumbling. "He's the one usually working the graveyard shift." He gives me a smile, trying to make me forget my guiltiness. But I was not over it.
"Wait. Why are you so nonchalant about those rumors?" I ask ruefully. It couldn't have been easy having people make up ridiculous stuff about you.
"Who do you think starts all of them?"
"Really?" I raised my eyebrows. Who would start rumors about themselves? Maybe he really was a freak. But that couldn't be... So far he's been normal.
"No." He smirks at me. "I'm pretty sure Diana started most of them. She's one troublemaker, isn't she?" He smiles at me.
"You act as if you don't care."
"I don't." He shrugs and goes back to staring at the ground.
Ah, the two word answers again.
Hanson suddenly stands up. "Well, I have to get back to work. Want to walk around with me?" He reaches out his hand for me to take.
"Uh." I stare blankly at his hand. He wants… me… to put my… hand in his?... I curse at my brain for analyzing the situation so slowly. I was missing the chance to touch him.
He put his hand back into his pocket and he turned to walk away from me, "Or you can stay here and have the ghosts…get you." God, he said that so creepily.
I quickly stood up, "I'm not going with you... um... because I'm afraid. No, no. I was thinking about walking this way and you just happen to be going the same way." I said quickly.
"I'm glad you decided to go this way, I didn't want to walk around by myself. You can protect me now." He hands me my flashlight, "Here, you have better aim than I do."
I smiled at that little tease and took it from him.
After walking around aimlessly with Hanson, I was beat. Yawning, I sat down on the ground, leaning up against a tree.
Hanson sits down next to me. "What time is it?" He seemed to be pretty tired, too.
I check my phone again, 5:08. Wow, this night is going by faster than I had thought. There was also a text message on the screen, from Candice. When did I get this?
'Hey. U ok? U won't believe wat Diana had 2 do 4 her dare!'
I didn't really care about the Truth and Dare night anymore. I sighed.
"It's 5:08." I looked at the horizon. I could already see the sky begin to lighten.
"Only an hour until the sunrises" he smiles at me. "You're going finish this damn dare and stick it to that Diana." He jabbed his fist out in front of him and I smiled at him.
"Hanson, you are such a cool guy. Why do you let people be scared of you?" I shook my head at him. If he would just act normal, he would probably be a part of my crowd.
"I don't really care how other people think of me." He pulled out a cigarette pack from his pocket. "Do you mind if I…"
"No…" I was still staring at this great guy, almost feeling special that I was possibly the only one who knew how easy he was to like.
"You were staring at me yesterday, I thought it might be because of the 'cancer stick' I was holding." He smirks and lights up said 'cancer stick'.
"That was definitely not the reason why." I chuckled a bit, mostly to myself. Oh damn, why did I have to say it like that?
He gave a pointed stare at me. I'm so not confessing my love in a cemetery.
"You weren't who I expected." I squinted at him.
"What were you expecting?" He casually blew a puff of smoke out and I focused on the swirly patterns it made.
"Not vampire fangs or satanic worshiping books." I pulled my gaze away from the disappearing cloud and looked down at my feet. "You're actually quite funny and nice."
"You're not what I was expecting either." I glance up at his words to find him smiling down at me. "I thought you would be exactly like one of Diana's drones. But you're actually... human." I laughed at that, those other girls could be quiet scary how drone-y they are. "You impressed me tonight." He stated simply and took a drag from his cigarette.
"As much as I admire that whole don't-care-what-others-think-of-you that you've got going on, but maybe you'd find it easier in school if you didn't come off so…strong." I searched for the right word to describe him.
He chuckled at that, "Am I that scary?"
"Ah… little bit." He smiled at my hesitant answer.
"Hanson, you have a great smile. You should show it more often." My cheeks started to heat up from my confession and I quickly looked down at my feet.
"Maybe I should." He smirked and went back to quietly smoking but he continued to look at me from the corner of his eye.
The silence was making me realize how tired I was and my eyes started to get heavy.
Yawning, I closed my eyes and unintentionally slumped my head against Hanson's shoulder.
I started to mumble, "And your eyes are… so cool…" I paused to yawn, "… I always want to look at them..." I fell asleep just as the sun started peeking over the horizon.
"Eve, wake up" Hanson soft voice brought me back from my unconsciousness. I swatted at his hand.
"Get away…" I mumbled and heard him sigh. Then his hands were under me, lifting me off the ground. Enjoying the more comfortable position I snuggled into him and drifted off to sleep again.
A blur of questions woke me up from my slumber.
"Eve? Let go of her you freak!" That was most definitely Diana's voice.
"What did you do to her?" Candice's worriedly said.
"Is she dead?" Beth chimed in.
"She's not dead, just sleeping." He said calmly to my friends.
I stirred awake. I couldn't let Hanson handle this all alone.
"I'm alive." I squeak out to my friends and slowly nod to Hanson that it's ok to set me down.
Candice runs up to me hug me tightly. "Why didn't you answer my text? I was so worried."
"She was busy, of course." Diana smirks at Hanson.
"What are you talking about, Diana?" Candice gazes at her, genuinely curious, waiting for an answer.
Diana doesn't answer her question but only stares at me with that same smirk, "Let's go, I'm tired."
"Oh, I'll go get my car." Candice hurries down the street with Diana's drones following her.
This gives ample opportunity for Diana to boast about her dare on me.
"So how was it being alone with him the whole time?" She makes a kissy face. What is she five? I was thrown off by her comment for a moment, then I realized. She knew that he was working here tonight. Was this her way of tormenting me?
Candice pulled up next us in her car.
"You knew…" I began to ask her slowly.
Diana just winks at me then turns to look at Hanson, "Bye, freak."
I watch her in disbelief as she steps into the car and slams the passenger door.
Was she trying to set me up? If she did this on purpose… maybe, she wasn't so bad after all?
I look at Hanson with a small smile and shrug. "I guess I'll see you on Monday?"
He nodded, "See you on Monday."
With that I get into the car and give him a small wave as Candice drives off.
The weekend went by so slowly. All I could think about was when I would get to see him again. In all honesty, I had missed him- probably more than I should have.
I replayed that night in my head over and over. Remembering the way his smile would stand out in the darkness of the cemetery, and his chuckling fests at every ridiculous thing I did.
As Monday got closer, I began to get worried. Maybe he wasn't as affected by that night as I'd been. I never told my friends what happened that night, no matter how many times they asked.
It was a memory for just me and him.
It was finally Monday morning. As per usual I went to school early but when I rounded the corner to the bike racks, he wasn't there. I slowly walk over to it and lean against the cold iron.
Why does he always sit here before school? The scenery of empty parking lot concrete was quite boring.
"Ahem, I think you're in my spot." I smiled at Hanson's voice and scooted over.


text: CHAMPAIGN — S.M. Sarich`s polemic of Nov. 21 on Zionism as racism and expansionist is a disturbing example of ignorance run riot, or the use of the big lie technique by which the more outrageous and grotesque the libel, the more likely it is to be given credence. Either inference is reasonable, but being charitably inclined I shall give him the benefit of the doubt in the hope that he will be inspired to alleviate his ignorance by resorting to some authentic history and accounts of Zionism, past and present, rather than relying on absurd and distorted charges such as the infamous and discredited 1975 United Nations resolution.

Mary Conklin, R-Patterson, the current chairwoman of the 9-member Putnam County Legislature, is throwing her support to the Democratic candidate for her seat, Luz Shulgin.
Conklin decided not to run for a third term representing District 4 setting off a race for her post. Shulgin, a Democrat will face Republican Virginia "Ginny" Nacerino, who also has Conservative and Independence Party ballot lines.
Shulgrin has had a 20-year career as a scientist and business manager. Nacerino has been a councilwoman in the town of Patterson for 5 years and before that served on the Patterson Zoning Board of Appeals.
Here is the top of the press release from the Democratic Party Chairman, Victor Grossman:
Republican Putnam County Legislator Mary Conklin has endorsed Democrat Luz Shulgin to succeed her as Putnam County Legislator for District 4 (Patterson).
Calling Shulgin "a new face in the political arena with no party ties or influences", Conklin went on to praise Shulgin as "highly intelligent with a strong background in finance and management" and encouraged voters to "choose the best person for the job".
Shulgin was ecstatic about the endorsement. "I am honored to receive the endorsement of Mary Conklin , a Legislator who has served her district so well. I will do my best to follow the example she has set by listening to voters and doing what's right for them instead of following party orders". She went on, "Mary Conklin has set the standard for leadership of her District and I hope to fill her shoes and bring new ideas and creative solutions to the issues facing Putnam Lake, Patterson, and Putnam County".
Local political leaders reacted favorably to the news. Town of Patterson Democratic Chairperson Sheila Hamilton said, "Mary's endorsement of Luz is a tribute to the hard work, and bridge building that has marked Luz' candidacy. She has visited more than 1000 homes in District 4 asking residents what they want from their government, instead of telling them what their government wants from them".
Putnam County Democratic Chairman Victor G. Grossman could not immediately recall the last time a Republican officeholder endorsed a Democrat. "I'm sure such endorsements have occurred, but not in the recent past", Grossman said. "I am not surprised Mary Conklin recognizes that Luz Shulgin is an intelligent and thoughtful candidate, who cares about what voters want, rather than someone who will run for office to do as they are told".

Maria's Story, Ecuador
Maria José Gomez de la Torre recounts her experiences with refugee women in Gayaquil, Ecuador:
Seeing a woman who is completely hopeless, even though her children are finally safe, crying profusely because they could not be with her on her birthday, are moments in life that you cannot forget. To cheer her up, the group draws a cake with candles on a paper, give her a craft made that day "wrapped as a present with an imaginary bow", and sing her happy birthday, telling her you have someone here now, this is your place.
This professional experience as a psychologist crosses towards the personal; it leaves not academic or professional lessons, but life lessons. I was witness to a generosity that does not limit itself to material goods. When I began my work at the site, the challenge meant organizing a very diverse group of women interested in cooking classes and having spaces for discussion and recreation. As the months passed, the dynamics turned and, despite their differences, the women connected to one another, organized themselves, listened and respected each other; they could approach "the other" who was not violent. In this way, they began recognizing that in this space spoken by their written testimonies something transcendental could be built. For me, their testimonies were an accompaniment from the time when they were victims to being survivors and to recognising how they began taking different positions.
The group is unparalleled; it is carried by its own impulse, as shown in their name "Pa'lante con Esperanza" (Forward on with Hope). To be honest, the challenge of looking for crafts, potions, recipes, kids' activities, preparing lectures for reflection and even the guidance sessions where I have also been able to share my fears, has turned into something I wholly enjoy in my job, in addition to getting to know new members and observing first meetings and last goodbyes.

There is a wealth of information about Airstream trailers at:

I own a 2004 Safari 28W and have two small kids -- it is the right size for us -- we have room for each of them to bring a friend.
We have upgraded from a tent to a pop-up camper to the Airstream. We intend on keeping it until the girls are in college, when we might consider another RV...that is 12 years away, though.

The last few weeks have been hectic, and to make matters worse, I caught a nasty cold that stuck around for well over a week. These photos were taken just as I was starting to feel really bad and before I had accepted defeat. My last ditch attempt at convincing myself that I was not sick was to wear something light and airy and the exact opposite of what I really wanted to wear – pajamas and my favorite blanket. The combination of sheer fabrics and delicate print was a little too sweet for my liking, not to mention my sour attitude. I quickly grabbed my new favorite necklace as a warning…

UPDATE: A fourth child, aged 3, has died in hospital following the house fire. A man, believed to be the father of the household, is being treated for minor burns and a fifth child is in hospital in a critical condition.
Essex Police are treating the fire as suspicious.
The family have been named locally. Sabah Usmani and her sons Sohaib, 13, and Rayyan, six, as well as 11-year-old daughter Hira, died in their end-of-terrace house in Barn Mead, Harlow, Essex, at about 1am.
A third son, Muneeb, nine, and daughter Maheen, three, were rescued by fire crews and taken to hospital in a critical condition, although one later died at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. A fifth remains in a critical condition.
A woman and three young children have died and two other people are in hospital after a house fire, emergency services said on Monday.
Fire crews were called to Barn Mead in Harlow, Essex, at 1.45am.
The children who died are believed to have been two boys, aged six and 13, and an 11-year-old girl.
The occupants of the property were rescued, but a spokeswoman for Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said three children died.
Firefighters called to the scene described the house as being "100% well alight", with flames coming from the front and back doors.
Assistant divisional officer Steve Foster, incident commander, said: "Crews arriving at the scene did everything they could. They were faced with a rapidly developed fire and went straight into the burning building wearing breathing apparatus to bring people out as quickly as possible.
"Once casualties were out, they worked alongside ambulance teams to do all they could.
"Fire investigation teams are now working with police to establish how this tragedy happened and our thoughts are with those the family left behind."
A spokeswoman for the service said the father was not at home when the blaze broke out, and the four fatalities occurred at the scene.
She said: "We understand that firefighters brought them out of the house and were doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) outside, and that they were confirmed dead at the scene.
"The incident is now in the hands of Essex Police."
Essex Police confirmed that three children and a woman had died in the blaze, and that two people were in hospital, one of them in a critical condition.
A police statement said: "The cause of the fire is under investigation and detectives are looking at the circumstances leading up to the fire, and ask that anyone who was in the area of Barn Mead in the early hours of Monday and has any information contacts police at Harlow police station on 101."
A joint police and fire service investigation will be carried out to establish the cause of the blaze.
Gary Sanderson, spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service, said: "First and foremost our thoughts are with the family and friends of all involved in this tragic incident this morning.
"Following a rapid scene assessment by the first clinician on scene, our trust declared a major incident due to the severity of the incident.
"Ambulance crews worked extremely hard alongside the fire service to treat a total of seven casualties - two adults and five children - who were all conveyed to Princess Alexandra Hospital.
"Sadly, after everyone's best efforts, three children and an adult lost their lives. Two other children remain in a critical condition in hospital."
There is a burnt-out car yards from the house which is believed to have caught light at the same time as the house fire.
It is not known if the two incidents were linked but firefighters were seen examining the vehicle.
Sharon Pavey has lived in the house next door for 10 years.
She said the family had only recent moved to the area and she believed the father worked as a hospital.
She added: "I saw flames coming out of the back window and dialled 999 but they were already on their way.
"The flames and smoke were billowing out and we could tell it was very serious.
"I don't think many people knew them but we are all in shock and this is very sad news."

253: Rushing yards by Dallas rookie running back DeMarco Murray on 25 carries in the Cowboys' 34-7 win over the winless Rams. Murray's record-setting day included a 91-yard TD run in the first quarter. The 253 rushing yards are more than Tony Dorsett or Emmitt Smith ever had in a game for Dallas.
234: Yards rushing and receiving by Arian Foster of the Texans in a 41-7 rout of Tennessee. The Titans had just 148 yards of total offense; Chris Johnson had 18 yards on 10 carries and six catches for 27 yards.
6: Interceptions thrown by Oakland Raider QBs. It didn't help that Darren McFadden went down early with an injury (sprained foot) but Kyle Boller threw three picks in the first half (one pick-six) and Carson Palmer threw three more in the second half (including a pick-six). The Raiders are 4-3 but have a bye next week.
137: Total yards by the lowly Seattle Seahawks on the road against Cleveland in a 6-3 loss. The Seahawks had just eight first downs. They only had the ball for 17:04 and were 2-for-12 on third down. It was an eerily similar performance to their stinker against Pittsburgh earlier this season in a 24-0 loss: 164 yards, 8 first downs, 21:16 of possession and 2-for-12 on third down.
1-12: That's what the Lions were on 3rd down at home in a 23-16 loss to the Falcons. Detroit has lost two in a row, and perhaps third down struggles are a big reason – Detroit was 2-for-15 on 3rd down last week in a loss to San Francisco. Not having a running game has also been a problem.

Attorney Hillary Rodham Clinton was born in Chicago and educated at Vassar College and Yale Law School. She served in 1974 as counsel on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee which was considering impeachment of then-President Richard Nixon for his behavior during the Watergate scandal. She married William Jefferson Clinton. She used her name Hillary Rodham through Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, then changed it to Hillary Rodham Clinton when he ran for reelection.

She was First Lady during Bill Clinton's presidency (1993-2001). Hillary Clinton managed the failed effort to seriously reform health care, she was the target of investigators and rumors for her involvement in the Whitewater scandal, and she defended and stood by her husband when he was accused and impeached during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Near the end of her husband's term as President, Hillary Clinton was elected to the Senate from New York, taking office in 2001 and winning reelection in 2006. She unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, and when her strongest primary opponent, Barack Obama, won the general election, Hillary Clinton was appointed Secretary of State in 2009, serving until 2013.

In 2015, she announced her candidacy once again for the Democratic presidential nomination, which she won in 2016. She lost in the November election, winning the popular vote by 3 million but losing the Electoral College vote.

Selected Hillary Rodham Clinton Quotations

There cannot be true democracy unless women's voices are heard. There cannot be true democracy unless women are given the opportunity to take responsibility for their own lives. There cannot be true democracy unless all citizens are able to participate fully in the lives of their country. We all owe so much to those who came before and tonight belongs to all of you. [July 11, 1997]

  Tonight's victory is not about one person. It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible. [June 7, 2016]

People can judge me for what I've done. And I think when somebody's out in the public eye, that's what they do. So I'm fully comfortable with who I am, what I stand for, and what I've always stood for.

I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life.

If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle.

The challenges of change are always hard. It is important that we begin to unpack those challenges that confront this nation and realize that we each have a role that requires us to change and become more responsible for shaping our own future.

The challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.

If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle.

The failure was principally political and policy driven, there were many interests that weren't at all happy about losing their financial stake in a way that the system currently operates, but I think I became a lightning rod for some of that criticism. [about her role, as First Lady, in attempting to win reforms in health care coverage]

In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive, and he said 70 times 7. Well, I want you all to know that I'm keeping a chart.

I have gone from a Barry Goldwater Republican to a New Democrat, but I think my underlying values have remained pretty constant; individual responsibility and community. I do not see those as being mutually inconsistent.

I'm not some Tammy Wynette standing by my man.

I have met thousands and thousands of pro-choice men and women. I have never met anyone who is pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is not being pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is trusting the individual to make the right decision for herself and her family, and not entrusting that decision to anyone wearing the authority of government in any regard.

You cannot have maternal health without reproductive health. And reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion.

When does life start? When does it end? Who makes these decisions?... Every day, in hospitals and homes and hospices... people are struggling with those profound issues.

Eleanor Roosevelt understood that every one of us every day has choices to make about the kind of person we are and what we wish to become. You can decide to be someone who brings people together, or you can fall prey to those who wish to divide us. You can be someone who educates yourself, or you can believe that being negative is clever and being cynical is fashionable. You have a choice.

When I am talking about "It Takes a Village", I'm obviously not talking just about or even primarily about geographical villages any longer, but about the network of relationships and values that do connect us and binds us together.

No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family's care. But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families as they cope with moral, social and economic stresses of caring for children.

If a country doesn't recognize minority rights and human rights, including women's rights, you will not have the kind of stability and prosperity that is possible.

I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.

We are Americans, We have the right to participate and debate any administration.

Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is . . . For me, that balance is family, work, and service.

I wasn't born a first lady or a senator. I wasn't born a Democrat. I wasn't born a lawyer or an advocate for women's rights and human rights. I wasn't born a wife or a mother.

I will fight against the division politics of revenge and retribution. If you put me to work for you, I will work to lift people up, not put them down.

I am particularly horrified by the use of propaganda and the manipulation of the truth and the revision of history,

Would you tell your parents something for me? Ask them, if they have a gun in their house, please lock it or take it out of their house. Will you do that as good citizens? [to a group of schoolchildren]

I think it does once again urge us to think hard about what we can do to make sure that we keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced people. I hope we will come together as a nation and do whatever it takes to keep guns away from people who have no business with them.

We need to be as well prepared to defend ourselves against public health dangers as we should be to defend ourselves against any foreign danger.

Dignity does not come from avenging insults, especially from violence that can never be justified. It comes from taking responsibility and advancing our common humanity.

God bless the America we are trying to create.

I have to confess that it's crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a Christian.

Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.

In too many instances, the march to globalization has also meant the marginalization of women and girls. And that must change.

Voting is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to ensure the integrity of our voting process.

From Hillary Clinton's Nomination Acceptance Speech at the Democratic National Convention, 2016

If fighting for affordable child care and paid family leave is playing the woman card, then deal me in!

Our country's motto is e pluribus unum: out of many, we are one. Will we stay true to that motto?

So don't let anyone tell you that our country is weak. We're not. Don't let anyone tell you we don't have what it takes. We do. And most of all, don't believe anyone who says: "I alone can fix it."

None of us can raise a family, build a business, heal a community or lift a country totally alone. America needs every one of us to lend our energy, our talents, our ambition to making our nation better and stronger.

Standing here as my mother's daughter, and my daughter's mother, I'm so happy this day has come. Happy for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between. Happy for boys and men, too – because when any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone. When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit. So let's keep going, until every one of the 161 million women and girls across America has the opportunity she deserves. Because even more important than the history we make tonight, is the history we will write together in the years ahead.

But none of us can be satisfied with the status quo. Not by a long shot.

My primary mission as President will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages right here in the United States, from my first day in office to my last!

I believe America thrives when the middle class thrives.

I believe that our economy isn't working the way it should because our democracy isn't working the way it should.

It's wrong to take tax breaks with one hand and give out pink slips with the other.

I believe in science. I believe that climate change is real and that we can save our planet while creating millions of good-paying clean energy jobs.

He spoke for 70-odd minutes – and I do mean odd.

In America, if you can dream it, you should be able to build it.

Ask yourself: Does Donald Trump have the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief? Donald Trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign. He loses his cool at the slightest provocation. When he's gotten a tough question from a reporter. When he's challenged in a debate. When he sees a protestor at a rally. Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.

I can't put it any better than Jackie Kennedy did after the Cuban Missile Crisis. She said that what worried President Kennedy during that very dangerous time was that a war might be started – not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men – the ones moved by fear and pride.

Strength relies on smarts, judgment, cool resolve, and the precise and strategic application of power.

I'm not here to repeal the 2nd Amendment. I'm not here to take away your guns. I just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place.

So let's put ourselves in the shoes of young black and Latino men and women who face the effects of systemic racism, and are made to feel like their lives are disposable. Let's put ourselves in the shoes of police officers, kissing their kids and spouses goodbye every day and heading off to do a dangerous and necessary job. We will reform our criminal justice system from end-to-end, and rebuild trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

Every generation of Americans has come together to make our country freer, fairer, and stronger. None of us can do it alone. I know that at a time when so much seems to be pulling us apart, it can be hard to imagine how we'll ever pull together again. But I'm here to tell you tonight – progress is possible.

TAMPA — Coach Jon Cooper said he at first did not know what to make of the well-wishers in the hallway outside the Lightning locker room offering congratulations.
Tampa Bay had just beaten the Canadiens 3-1 Tuesday night in front of an announced crowd of 18,808 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, so he expected people to be happy. But all the congratulations? "That usually doesn't happen after a win," he said.
But this win was special because with the Capitals regulation loss and Devils shootout loss, the Lightning (42-25-9) clinched a playoff spot.
"I had no idea," Cooper said. "I'm excited for what's happening. It's a really cool feeling."
Not only did Tampa Bay beat Montreal — its likely first-round opponent which, despite the loss, also clinched a playoff spot — one of Cooper's prized rookies, Tyler Johnson, scored the winner with a high backhand to finish a shorthanded breakaway that broke a 1-1 tie with 7:19 left in the third period.
It was Johnson's 23rd goal, tying captain Steven Stamkos' franchise rookie record.
Ryan Callahan's second-period, power-play goal tied the score at 1. Alex Killorn had an empty-netter and Ben Bishop made 25 saves for his 37th win.
"It's awesome," Bishop said of clinching Tampa Bay's first playoff spot since 2011. "It's a goal we set at the start of the season. It's something special."
"You want to win that Stanley Cup and now we have a chance. We're in the playoffs," Johnson said. "Once you're in anything can happen. We're trying to get some momentum, trying to build on it, trying to be ready for it and see where it takes us."
The team's attention now turns to home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Tampa Bay likely will face Montreal as the second- and third-place teams in the Atlantic Division. Both have 93 points, though because it has played one fewer game the Lightning officially is ahead. If it can hold that spot, it will open the playoffs at the Times Forum.
Johnson's goal, his fifth shorthanded which tied the league lead, was started in the defensive zone by defenseman Victor Hedman, who forced David Desharnais to give up the puck.
Johnson gained the puck by lifting the stick of Thomas Vanek. He outraced Vanek and P.K. Subban. That left goalie Carey Price, who was outstanding with 30 saves.
"Price didn't think I could get it to my backhand, I don't think, so he tried to over-challenge there," Johnson said. "Luckily I was able to get there and try to get it up and I was able to find a way. It was huge."
"We're proud in here," Stamkos said. "It is an accomplishment but there still is a lot of hard work to be done."

Story highlights
- Michel Louis says he offered himself as a hostage when gunmen took a parishioner
- "We put our faith on God and he don't let us down," Louis says
- Kidnappers seized the hostages Friday, released them three days later
- The abduction occured in Egypt's Sinai region
Two Americans reunited with their families Tuesday in northern Israel, a day after kidnappers freed them unharmed after three days of captivity in Egypt.
"We put our faith on God, and he don't let us down," Michel Louis, one of the Americans, said from the city of Tiberias.
Kidnappers in Egypt released Louis, Lisa Alphonse and their tour guide Monday after holding them hostage since Friday.
Louis recalled the moment the kidnappers came aboard their tour bus. He offered himself as a hostage when gunmen took Alphonse, he said.
Louis is the pastor of a Pentecostal church in Boston and Alphonse is a parishioner at another American church.
"She's a member of my group. So I said I (can't) leave her to go alone, because I don't know what can happen to her, and I decide to go with her," he said.
Louis, a diabetic, was given pita bread, eggs, tea and water by his kidnappers, he said, and was moved each night to sleep in a different location.
Alphonse was the only female in the group. She said she feared for her life, but had faith that God would not let her die.
"Where we were, we didn't know if we (were) coming back," she said.
Kidnappers seized the three Friday in Egypt's Sinai region after gunmen boarded the bus, which was on its way to Israel, family members said.
Michel Louis' wife was on the bus when the kidnapping occurred.
The family was not aware of security concerns in the Sinai region, where Americans had been kidnapped and swiftly released in two incidents since February, said Louis' son, Jean Louis.
"If we were aware, I would believe we would use correct judgment not to enter that area," he said.
Kidnappings and armed robberies have increased since a popular uprising ousted Egypt's long-ruling dictator, Hosni Mubarak, last year.
In the latest incident, one of the alleged kidnappers, Germy Abu Masouh, is a member of a prominent Bedouin tribe in the Sinai. He had demanded Egyptian police free his uncle imprisoned in Alexandria on drug charges.
Authorities did not give in to the kidnappers' demands, Egyptian officials said.

Wolves filed a lawsuit against the Minister Abyzov for "criminal inaction"
Ally Alexei Navalny Leonid Volkov said that he was going to court with a demand to recognize the criminal inaction of the Minister for Open government Mikhail Abyzov, in two months, did not ensure the consideration of the petition from the site "Russian public initiative" on the abolition of the "Spring package".

Volkov recalled that exactly two months ago initiated a petition to repeal the law that requires "organizers of information distribution" to provide storage of user data for six months, gained 100 thousand votes. This number, according to the law, is necessary for consideration of the initiative by an expert working group within two months.
However, Volkov writes, "consideration and was not": "inactivity of officials violated the rights of all one hundred thousand signers of the petition, including my".
The result of wolves and the lawyers of the Fund of struggle against corruption have prepared the statement of claim in court: "We promised not to release the pressure on the "Spring package" and will not" — he concluded.
Recall that while none of the gathered one hundred thousand head of initiatives for ROI has not been approved by the expert group. This fate, in particular, have suffered the sentence of Alexei Navalny in Russia ratify the 20th article of the UN Convention on illicit enrichment, which involves the removal of officials of the ownership, the origin of which they could not substantiate.

Crisis of Value Theory - P2P Foundation - 0 views
shared by Kurt Laitner on 11 Jul 12 - Cached
accumulation of knowledge assets
a new class has arisen which controls the vectors of information
In terms of knowledge creation, a vast new information commons is being created, which is increasingly out of the control of cognitive capitalism.
- ...19 more annotations...
But notice that to do this, the system had to change, the core logic was no longer the same.
The emergence of the peer model of production, based on the non-rivalrous nature and virtually non-existent marginal cost of reproduction of digital information, and coupled with the increasing unenforceability of "intellectual property" laws, means that capital is incapable of realizing returns on ownership in the cognitive realm.
capital is becoming an a posteriori intervention in the realization of innovation, rather than a condition for its occurrence
1) The creation of non-monetary value is exponential
2) The monetization of such value is linear
What this announces is a crisis of value, most such value is 'beyond measure', but also essentially a crisis of accumulation of capital.
more and more positive externalizations are created from the social field
"the core logic of the emerging experience economy, operating as it does in the world of non-rival exchange, is unlikely to have capitalism as its core logic."
This takes the form both of "intellectual property" law, as well as direct subsidies from the taxpayer to the corporate economy
crisis of realization under state capitalism to capital's growing dependence on the state to capture value from social production and redistribute it to private corporate owners
The state capitalist system will reach a point at which, thanks to the collapse of the portion of value comprised of rents on artificial property, the base of taxable value is imploding at the very time big business most needs subsidies to stay afloat.
We live in a political economy that has it exactly backwards. We believe that our natural world is infinite, and therefore that we can have an economic system based on infinite growth. But since the material world is finite, it is based on pseudo-abundance. And then we believe that we should introduce artificial scarcities in the world of immaterial production, impeding the free flow of culture and social innovation, which is based on free cooperation, by creating the obstacle of permissions and intellectual property rents protected by the state. What we need instead is a political economy based on a true notion of scarcity in the material realm, and a realization of abundance in the immaterial realm.
Brains and bodies still need others to produce value, but the others they need are not necessarily provided by capital and its capacities to organize production.
The household and informal economies have been allowed to function to the extent that they bear reproduction costs that would otherwise have to be internalized in wages; but they have been suppressed (as in the Enclosures) when they threaten to increase in size and importance to the point of offering a basis for independence from wage labor. "
increasing untenability of property rights in the information realm
there is no more outside.
one of intensive development, to grow in the immaterial field, and this is basically what the experience economy means
Innovation is becoming social and diffuse, an emergent property of the networks
failure of artificial abundance
failure of artificial scarcity

Flavour Compound of the Week - Trans-2-nonenal

I'm with you about beer not getting better after a few years, with a tiny number of exceptions. But at the risk of being a pain in the arse, I'm sure the text on St Enodoc Dubbel claims that the beer will improve indefinitely.

Very sharp Mr Avery! I could say that statement was made knowing that temptation would be too great to leave the bottle longer than a few weeks. What I will say is that I don't write the labels Zak even though they do bear my signature. I'll get it changed on the next print run.
I suppose you could argue as that indefinite is by its very nature indefinite! Who's to say when a period of indefinity ends. If a period of indefinity falls over when no one is around, does it make a sound? Have I just sampled 23 batches of beer in an hour?
I have some first run St Enodoc from 2004 and it's still good albeit not as good as it was at its peak.

The Friday Fun thread went well last week, so let's try it again!
This week, we'll go with something a little narrower: the five best TV comedies you've seen. Anything is fair game: network, overseas, subscription. As long it as it appeared on the glowing idiot box, it's good.
Black Adder: The first series is good. The last three series are 18 episodes of awesome. Rowan Atkinson can be hilarious — his live stand-up routine is great. But he's genius in this. Also includes Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, who are comic geniuses in their own rights.
Fawlty Towers: Not much to say about Fawlty Towers that has not already been said.
Night Court: Middle seasons only. Night Court started out OK. But once Markie Post, Harry Anderson, John Larroquette, Richard Moll and Charles Robinson came together, it was pure genius. The only problem was that it had a tendency to get "serious" and that tendency took over the last few seasons and made the show unwatchable.
The Honeymooners: The supporting cast were great. But what made this show was Jackie Gleason's all-out zeal.
The Simpsons: Season 1-6. The Simpsons isn't what it once was. It occasionally cranks out a gem, but most of the time it's just "meh". But the first six seasons were incredible.
Honorable Mentions to: South Park, Monty Python, Seinfeld. The latter in particular was good because it never compromised. The characters started off as self-centered jerks and ended as self-centered jerks. As noted in my Night Court selection, I hate it when comedies get serious. Seinfeld never did.
You'll notice a lack of recent comedies. Two reasons: 1) I tend to discount recent things from these sort of lists; 2) I don't watch a lot of TV. But I could see myself watching Parks and Rec at some point.

Phillips Makes Case For FA Cup Start
Aston Villa reserves ran riot last night at the Bescot Stadium.
Villa beat Manchester City 5-2 with a brace from Kevin Phillips. Perfect timing Kev, this surely sent the message loud and clear to David O'Leary to start the player on Saturday against Port Vale in the FA Cup clash. His battling qualities and natural finishing have been missed since his ankle injury sidelined him. Lets hope he can now stay fit and start to really show the Villa fans what he can do.
Comments from Kevin Phillips - click here
Forgotten man Peter Whittingham also scored two goals in a dazzling display with Gabriel Agbonlahor completing the scoring for Villa.
Phillips said: "I'm not 100 per cent yet, but I'm getting there and it was another good run-out for me." Adding "Whether I'm ready for the Port Vale game or not, that's up to the gaffer but as far as I'm concerned I want to be involved. It's a big game and we want to do well in the cup this season."
VILLA: Taylor, de la Cruz, O'Halloran, Green, Ridgewell, Whittingham, Ward, Gardner, Moore, Phillips, Agbonlahor. Subs: Paul, Olejnik, Kabeya, Bridges, Osbourne.
