"The United States Postal Service is struggling with a sharp drop in the amount of mail it handles and has made closing hundreds of urban post offices around the country a key part of an effort to close its record $7 billion deficit." - Howard Trickey

"Mr. Camargo [Hamlet], most recently seen as George Deever in the Broadway revival of “All My Sons,” nails just about everything." We saw this Hamlet on Saturday, and all enjoyed it very much. The black&white production with players scene in color reminded me of the Wizard of Oz trick. Abstract light line projections were particularly effective in the ghost scene. - Howard Trickey

Are there any that have been "done right"? I think it would be nice to see one where they *didn't* try to use the overall shape, but *did* try to preserve the aspect of shared attributes in each column, some increasing value (age, size) through the chart, and ideally the notion that these things are "elemental". - ⓞnor

When I was a student the government (in the UK) actually paid me to go to university (almost everyone got a grant). Thats gone now and has been replaced by a loan system like the one described here. Mind you, you still don't have to pay any tuition fees so the loans are much smaller. - James Macgill

I wrote a negative review of a local restaurant. It disappeared from the public listings for a while, but has since reappeared. - Jeremy Hylton

"How wise of Christopher Shinn, who did this new adaptation of Ibsen’s oft-produced ode to the frustrations of modern womanhood, to substitute “feeling dead” for the more traditional “boring myself to death.” That affectless, amateurish acting I’d been seeing onstage, with its flat-line readings and saggy pauses, was all in the name of creating the illusion of people already dead." - Howard Trickey

We saw this yesterday, and rather enjoyed this production. It was an interesting view of Hedda's personality, and gave us all something to talk about for quite a while afterwards. - Howard Trickey

That really sucks. I was wondering about R when I heard that many people were turned back. - Phyllis Bregman

Woohoo, maybe only 8 more years of changing in Newark - Howard Trickey

"Here is Bulgaria, represented as a series of crude, hole-in-the-floor toilets. Here is the Netherlands, subsumed by floods, with only a few minarets peeping out from the water. Luxembourg is depicted as a tiny lump of gold marked by a “for sale” sign, while five Lithuanian soldiers are apparently urinating on Russia." - Howard Trickey

We've seen 5 of these. I'll regret not seeing Spring Awakening. Worth seeing if you haven't: Boeing-Boeing, Hairspray, Spamalot (and probably some of the others I didn't see). - Howard Trickey

“We used to fight about who gets to keep the house,” said Gary Nickelson, president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. “Now we fight about who gets stuck with the dead cow.” - Howard Trickey

To me, text messages cost way more than they are worth. And premium text messages were forever finding their way onto my phone bill, unbidden. Well no more, they are blocked from our phones now. - Howard Trickey
