I’ve been to sporting events all over the world and nothing is as passionless as a Wallaby Test at Telstra Stadium. I went to a Bledisloe Cup game there and you could hear a pin drop (except for the All Black fans). The much maligned Swans supporters generate 25 times the noise and atmosphere as Wallaby spectators.. If your source is low energy you have to accumulate, extract, store, and transmit it in a usable form. Renewable just means you…
“They’re the missing piece that we need, the moral voice to get to the kids to make it make sense,” said Rob Ingram, director of the city’s Office of Violence Prevention. Branch earned respect on the street as a young Crip, a gang member known as a “guy to get behind,” Ingram recalled. Now the question is whether a former gangster fresh out of prison can work that magic on today’s young gang members with a different message: Reject violence.…
Another option if you have a boy and a girl is peter pan and Tinkerbelle. This sweet idea will have everyone saying Peter Pan can be put together with some green pants (tights if the boy is on the brave side) and a longer, green t shirt. The Pan style hat is typically available at any party or costume store for just a few bucks. People ask me about (Becky’s) health or the challenges that we face. There’s a lot…
I was sitting in a lecture hall of about 200 students, excitement and the clicking of keys on fresh MacBooks filling the room. I sat in the front, and admit the sight of hundreds of students with the same big dreams was daunting. I thought to myself, many of these kids want to be on ESPN, or write for the New York Times? The professor began his introduction and detailed the journalism school storied history. Plan to have it done…
With all the new people we realize that we going to have to start patching the subreddit to evolve alongside the community. That shit exciting because regardless of how you may or may not feel about cheating death, the majority of us are here to rally around the board and draft our days away. That all being said, lets get to the juicy bits:. Safety, security and versatility there are many reasons that MVS will supplant QR codes. However, there…
Hot Springs, the 10th largest city in Arkansas, bills itself as a friendly resort community. Yet meetings of the Hot Springs Board of Directors are among the most closely guarded in Arkansas. Everyone attending a city board meeting is required to pass through a metal detector and submit carried items to a search by a guard.. Scaasi announced his retirement in 2010. He hadn’t produced a full collection for many years, but he was still creating clothes for individual clients.…
The year old shop is spacious, sparkling clean, well staffed, and welcoming. Prices are reasonable: $35 for a tuneup, $6 for a new tire tube ($12.41 if they do the labor), and $270 for adult beach cruisers. High performance bikes include luminescent titanium beauties that would spur Lance Armstrong to peel off his spandex shorts and masturbate. The TV was a revolutionary technology in the olden years, and if by chance your family had a TV, it was certainly the…
A few minutes before the hearing, John Mark Byers arrived at the courthouse. Nobody had to ask if he was a Somebody. Byers, who once cursed the WM3 to hellfire at every opportunity, changed his tune a few years back, and has since become a vocal supporter of the WM3. Dor tells them, ever so politely, no. Even when a woman from the United Kingdom who summers in Maine called on June 16 seeking a dinner reservation for Aug. 17,…
At the turn of the century, Apple and its advisor Steve Jobs (yes, him again) were facing a very scary problem: they didn’t have cash, their stock was close to worthless, and it didn’t even have a CEO at the time. So why didn’t Apple fade into oblivion? Enter: Bill Gates and Microsoft, who sent over a check for a cool $150 million to keep Apple from rotting to the core. Clearly, Microsoft never thought that this strategic miscalculation would…
After an initial spiel from Griffiths, the first course arrived. Cooking and serving 50 people at once can be a tall order when it comes to timing. In previous iterations of The Kitchen, much of the food was prepped and cooked in advance much like a catered event and the live act contained little in the way of actual cooking. Was an attempt to break out of that and ask really hard questions, even from opposing points of view for…
