Full-size trucks are still one of the most popular new vehicle segments on the market, with these versatile automobiles providing excellent towing and hauling capabilities along with refined interior accommodations and road manners that make them viable daily drivers. Perhaps no other class of vehicle provides such a dazzling array of configurations and options, which can make choosing a new full-size truck a confusing task.
Let’s take a look at the full-size trucks currently available on the market and summarize what they have to offer those currently shopping for one of these practical vehicles.
The 2011 F-150 gains a fresh stable of engines for the current model year, thoroughly updating the best-selling pickup’s drivetrain options. Front and center is the EcoBoost V-6 that makes use of twin turbochargers to derive 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque from its 3.5-liters of displacement. Also available is a 5.0-liter V-8 (360 horses and 380 lb-ft feet) as well as a 6.2-liter V-8 (411 horsepower and 420 lb-ft) and an entry-level, 302 horsepower 3.7-liter V-6. All engines are matched with a six-speed automatic transmission and can be ordered with four-wheel drive.
The 2011 Ford F-150 comes in Regular, SuperCrew and SuperCab body styles, with the latter two offering room for up to six passengers. The truck can tow as much as 11,300 lbs, and it offers three different bed lengths: 5.5-feet, 6.5-feet and 8-feet.
The 2011 RAM 1500 (which is more commonly known as the Dodge Ram) differs from other full-size pickups in a few important aspects. The vehicle comes with a coil spring rear suspension instead of a traditional leaf spring design, which dramatically improves ride comfort when the vehicle is unloaded without sacrificing towing capacity (10,250 lbs max). The Ram 1500 can also be ordered with the RamBox storage system which provides lockable cargo compartments within the truck’s rear fender rails.
The 2011 Ram 1500 comes in Regular, Crew and Quad Cab editions that provide between three and six passenger capacity. Bed lengths are restricted to 6-feet, 4-inches; 5-feet, 7-inches; or 8-feet in total. The Ram 1500 starts out with a 215 horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 that also generates 235 lb-ft of torque and is shifted through a four-speed automatic. Next up is a 310 horsepower, 4.7-liter V-8 followed by a 5.7-liter HEMI eight-cylinder engine that provides 390 horsepower and 407 lb-ft of torque. Each of these engines makes use of a five-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive is also available as an option with the Ram.
The 2011 Nissan Titan is the oldest pickup design currently plying the full-size market. That being said, it does offer up some impressive utility for truck buyers. The Nissan Titan comes only in King or Crew Cab body styles, each of which provides additional passenger seating in the rear (with the Crew Cab including a second set of full-size doors). Bed lengths come in three sizes: 5-foot, 7-inches; 6-foot, 6-inches; or 7-foot, 3-inches.
The 2011 Nissan Titan offers a single engine choice under its hood, a 5.6-liter V-8 unit that is good for 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic transmission sends that output to either the rear or all four wheels should four-wheel drive be selected as an option. The pickup is capable of towing up to 9,500 lbs.
Like most of its competitors, the 2011 Toyota Tundra offers Regular, Double Cab and CrewMax editions, each improving the vehicle’s passenger capacity and ease of access. Cargo bed lengths include 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot and 8-foot options, and the Tundra can tow up to 10,400 lbs when properly equipped.
The 2011 Toyota Tundra starts out with a 4.0-liter V-6 as its entry-level engine, and this motor is good for 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, matched with a five-speed automatic transmission. A pair of V-8 engines are also on offer: a 4.6-liter unit (310 horses, 327 lb-ft of torque) and an advanced i-Force 5.7-liter motor (389 horsepower, 401 lb-ft of torque). Each comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and all three engines can be mated to an optional four-wheel drive system.
The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado also sports an older design, but it still provides power and utility on par with the market leaders thanks to a continual series of evolutionary upgrades that have been made to its chassis and running gear. Found in regular cab, Extended Cab and Crew Cab editions, with respective improvements in passenger room for each, the Silverado can be had with bed lengths measuring 5-feet, 8-inches; 6-feet, 5-inches; or 8-feet in total. The Chevrolet Silverado is capable of towing as much as 10,700 lbs.
There are numerous engine options available with the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado, including an entry-level V-6 (4.3-liters, 195 horsepower), a more potent small V-8 (4.8-liters, 302 horsepower) and an efficient 5.3-liter, eight-cylinder unit (315 horsepower). The mightiest Silverado motor is an optional 6.2-liter V-8 that grinds out 403 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. Transmission choices include a mix of four- and six-speed automatics, and four-wheel drive can also be ordered with the Silverado.
The 2011 GMC Sierra is a platform twin to the Chevrolet Silverado, which means that in terms of engine choices, towing capacity, body styles and bed lengths it is essentially identical to its corporate cousin. Major differences are found with regards to exterior styling and trim level features – in particular the Denali luxury edition, a model which piles on the premium features and which includes the Silverado’s 6.2-liter V-8 engine as standard equipment. The Denali also comes with a unique all-wheel drive system that is not available on any other version of the Chevrolet or GMC pickup truck.

The black woman busted for dumping paint on the Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower livestreamed the entire stunt — and was at it again just hours later in Harlem and Brooklyn.
Bevelyn Beatty, 29, posted videos to her Facebook page showing her smearing paint outside the Midtown skyscraper, and on BLM murals in Harlem and on Fulton Street later in the night, then gloated about it from home on yet another video.
“Y’all, we did an all-nighter,” she said in the most recent post. “Let me tell you something, yesterday was epic.”
Beatty is first seen on video in Manhattan around 3 p.m. Saturday going through more than a dozen cans of paint in the back of a van while two other women assist her, as a cop looks on and questions her but does nothing to intervene.
“What are you guys doing with all that paint?” the unidentified cop asked.
“Decorating,” Beatty replied.
“Decorating? Probably not the decorating we’re thinking of, right?” the officer said. “What are you decorating?”
“I’m black,” Beatty answered. “I’ma paint it black.”
She is then seen picking up one of the cans, walking past the cop, across Fifth Avenue, and to the mural, where she dumps the paint on the bright yellow BLM letters while yelling as several passersby look on.
“Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter, right?” Beatty says. “For the black people. This is for the black people. They’re destroying business for black people. They’re looting for black people.”
“No,” she says. “No. We’re not standing with Black Lives Matter. We want our police. Re-fund our police.”
Beatty, of Staten Island, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief but was free just hours later — before promptly going back to work.
A second video posted to her Facebook page, titled “Harlem Drive By Painting,” shows Beatty and her crew pouring paint out of the back of the same minivan as it rolls over the mural at 7th Avenue and West 125th Street.
A second vehicle, a red car, drives over the paint behind the van.
“What’s wrong with you? You’re a black woman,” a man is heard yelling at the vandals. “What the f–k is wrong with you? You’re a black woman.”
Residents are seen hurling cans and debris as they pull away.
In a third video posted early Sunday, Beatty and another woman are seen dumping black paint on another mural on Fulton Street in Brooklyn.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re in Brooklyn and it ain’t over,” she said. “Jesus matters. We’re taking our country back. We’re taking it back. And let me tell you something, the police need our help. … Don’t just sit by idly and watch your country go to the ground.”
“Stand with your police force, vote for Trump, vote Republican, vote for Christians, and stand up, Christians,” she continues, as an unidentified cohort adds: “Vote the ungodly, demonic, anti-Christ people out of this nation.”
Several people are seen approaching the two women and a man who is shooting video of the incident and confronting them about defacing the mural — many of them angrily — before Beatty and her crew leave around 12:40 a.m.
Beatty’s arrest for the Trump Tower vandalism was the third time the sign has been marred.
Four people were arrested around 4:15 p.m. Friday and charged with dumping blue paint on the mural. Shortly after noon Monday, a man walked up to the mural and poured red paint over it before running off.
Around 12:45 p.m., a white man on a Citi Bike stopped in front of the mural with a can of paint in what appeared to be another attempt.
But the man put the can down and ran off after police at the scene warned him not to continue.

Printers Tales is a compilation of over 30 stories, from various authors, about the printing industry in the pre-digital age.
Before computers became common-place in the late 1970s, to produce a printed page required the skill and expertise of a multitude of time-served craftsmen.
Compositors worked with lead type to create words letter by letter. Paper was pressed on to inked letters to reproduce words and sentences. Many of these skills have long-since been forgotten.
This compilation brings together memories of the printing and newspaper industries from that era.
A lot of the stories involve the Linotype machine, a mechanical typesetting machine, that was used to produce newspapers, and other publications, from the 1880s until the computer revolution of the 1970s/80s.
There are stories, poems and limericks from authors from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand, all of whom share a common workplace experience.
From tales from American "tramp printers" who were able to travel the length and breadth of the United States working on various newspapers on the way, to the unique language and terminology used by compositors on a London Fleet Street "companionship" and lots of stories in between.

New Jersey State Sen. Barbara Buono (D) has announced she will hold Senate hearings investigating the spending federal stimulus dollars aimed at weatherizing homes and helping low-income earners cut their energy bills.
“This program has been fraught with problems for a long time,” Buono told NewJersey.com. “Now that there’s an infusion of funds, it’s important that we take a second look at it. Any delay in drawing down funds will not only put vulnerable families in jeopardy but also lose an opportunity to put people back to work.”
Millions Reportedly Wasted
New Jersey was allocated nearly $119 million to weatherize more than 13,000 homes by 2012, with half the money withheld until state officials could prove the money had been put to good use. The money was supposed to pay contractors to perform weatherization work and to fund programs to cut greenhouse gas emissions and energy bills by installing insulation in homes.
Currently, only 2,157 homes have received a total of $11.3 million in weatherization improvements.
One question Buono says she wants answered in her hearings is why the state has spent more than $1 million of the federal dollars to train 225 people to work in the home weatherization field but only seven have actually found jobs. Another question: Why is the state paying $27 for light bulbs that cost $1.50?
A recent state audit uncovered this charge, along with others deemed similarly unreasonable.
Of $613,600 charges from contractors who were paid with weatherization funds, only $54,000— just under 9 percent—were rated as reasonable by the state auditor. In addition to $27 light bulbs, the auditor found charges of $75 for carbon-monoxide detectors that actually cost $22, and $1,499 for two GPS systems that should have cost a total of $400.
State Auditor Stephen Eells also reported $32,700 in fees for services that couldn’t be verified, and $69,000 in construction costs on jobs that couldn’t be confirmed.
“They should hold these hearings,” said Steve Lonegan, director of the New Jersey chapter of Americans for Prosperity. “We’re supposed to have this fiscally responsible [Obama] administration. But now we’re seeing this.”
Private Businesses Squeezed Out
Another pitfall of the weatherization program has been its effect in undercutting private sector contractors’ businesses.
“About a year ago, [the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection] decided to bring the program in-house … and use their own guys to compete with the private sector to weatherize homes,” Lonegan noted. “It is really kind of sad. Contractors who have performed these weatherization projects before are now being undersold by the government. They can’t compete.”
Lonegan says he’s hopeful but not necessarily confident the hearings will end the wasteful spending and the program’s biases against private enterprise.
“Will the hearings lead to action?” asked Lonegan. “At the worst, it brings public scrutiny to the issue. At the best, it ends all these [government environmental] programs. But maybe there’s a medium in between that turns it back over to the private sector to accomplish.”
Cheryl K. Chumley ([email protected]) writes from northern Virginia.

A warm sun rose above Zuccotti Park as a throng of Occupy protestors with guitars, drums, tents, and signs burst out of winter hibernation to start a spring offensive that would land dozens in jail before nightfall on Saturday morning. East of City Hall, a bulging type of individuals from all walks of life girdled the Spruce Street side of speed University to join up when it comes to Left Forum, an annual gathering that is the successor towards the Socialist Scholars Conference. Several st. Patrick’s time revelers, clad in kilts and shamrock-themed green, passed them by.
Throughout the East River, a 35-year-old Hunter university graduate pupil called Monica Johnson woke up with financial obligation on the head. She actually is always considering pupil financial obligation: the $88,000 she racked up between university and graduate college, therefore the legions of Us citizens whoever unpaid student education loans now total close to $1-trillion, twice the quantity owed 5 years ago, based on the Federal Reserve Bank of the latest York.
Student-loan financial obligation now surpasses credit-card financial obligation in america, with full-time undergraduates borrowing on average $4,963 this year, in line with the university Board.
Many pupils usually do not spend the complete price of college, but increasingly more are taking right out loans. And when borrowers face serious monetary issues, their student education loans can not be forgiven in bankruptcy, unlike other types of debt, such as for example gambling debts, that may. Some observers predict that pupil financial obligation would be the nation’s next big economic crisis.
Young adults like Ms. Johnson, that are beginning adult life deeper in debt than pupils about ten years ago, see by themselves included in a brand new generation of serfdom. Even while their financial obligation grows, she yet others say that pupil activism across the presssing problem is weaker in the usa compared to other nations because of a therapy of pity and guilt.
For Ms. Johnson, the knowledge of pupil financial obligation is not only a personal event. Its an “epidemic where loan providers are just like break dealers whom give teenagers a style for signing economic agreements for funny cash in return for their future labor, ” she states. “The hope is the fact that students become adult addicts who can never ever develop an association making use of their individual economic and governmental autonomy. “
Ms. Johnson, that is pursing a Master of Fine Arts level in integrated media arts, is focusing on a novel that is graphic to appear online, in regards to the student-debt crisis. Her protagonist, that is prompted by her very own experience, is just a college graduate called “Dorritt minimal” whom got a dual level in governmental technology and journalism but can not land a profitable job. Her character discovers by herself tea that is serving muffins at a cafe called “Stuckbar, ” where she makes twelve dollars one hour and has now no future. Dorritt minimal eventually chooses to head to graduate school, thinking she will get an expert degree so she will be much more competitive within the task market by which she would like to work. Then again she discovers by by herself with debt and questioning the worth of her level.
Ms. Johnson in addition has developed a Web site being a conversation forum for debtors who are able to additionally find out about the options that are different have actually for spending student loans. On Saturday, she had been getting by herself willing to present for a panel during the Left Forum about pupil financial obligation.
Her goal as a “visual activist” will be combine her governmental cartoons with internet tools like wiki links and flash petitions to influence opinion that is public. She hopes that her political actions can help replace the discourse that is dominant says student financial obligation is your own ethical failing continually to the one that claims it really is a kind of social control. “You only view it as indentured work as soon as you observe that it is impossible away from pupil financial obligation, ” she claims.
Ms. Johnson is an activist, yes. But unlike a few of the Left Forum’s more attendees that are radical she does not start thinking about by by herself some type of Marxist rabble-rouser. A lot more than any such thing, she would like to show individuals just just what it really is like for adults like her to live beneath the fat of modern-day financial obligation.
Determined to Get Free From Financial Obligation
Ms. Johnson was created as a white, working-class family members in Grand Rapids, Mich. Each of her parents have connect levels in technical industries, and https://cashlandloans.net/payday-loans-nj/ she actually is the very first in her family members to make a bachelor’s level also to attend graduate college. She now lives in Dutch Kills, longer Island City, within an cultural jumble of blue-collar employees, musicians, hipsters, and pupils. She stocks a modest apartment that is two-bedroom a roomie.
Her family area is full of furnishings which were bought from Ikea and Craigslist. She sat on an old office chair that was rescued from the garbage as she talked. Underneath a tiny sewing-machine place is a steel container filled with cotton-yarn scraps, rolled-up vinyl, crochet needles, as well as other fabrics that she makes use of to increase living of her clothing. Her sleep is really a mattress with no framework, and she will count the true quantity of shirts and jeans inside her closet.

Here is the thing I can’t stop thinking about with what’s happened here in Minnesota over the course of the past week: the display of support in the Twin Cities was staggering. The level of f*cks not given to those who might be offended by this acknowledgement of equal rights under the law was amazing.
But mostly, mostly. I think about a queer kid, riding in the back of her parents’ car seeing the city lit up like this. Maybe she hasn’t come out yet, maybe she’s been bullied, at home, at school, for being who she is. I can only imagine what seeing this would mean. And then I get teary and proud all over again.
“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

Front Street invites all visual artists, 18 years and older, of all mediums, styles, and techniques, from across the world to apply to the "3rd Annual Life in the City" juried exhibition.
Applicants should provide a brief artist statement, as well as a statement about how your work relates to "Life in the City."
Artists are encouraged to submit original work that represents the remarkable architecture, rich history, and/or modern urban lifestyles experienced in cities across the world.
Meet this year's guest juror, Sandra Picciano-Brand
This year's guest juror is internationally recognized metal-sculpture and jewelry designer, Sandra Picciano-Brand. Over the course of her career, Sandra has developed her metal sculpture and jewelry skills by studying with internationally known artists and taking over 25, two-week intensive professional workshops across the country.
While utilizing many design and jewelry-making techniques, these ideas have remained a constant in Sandra’s work: The organic form, romantic themes, impeccable craftsman-ship, sculptural intricacy, and the challenge of complex techniques with difficult materials. Inspiration for her lyrical metal pieces comes from the natural world, passion for gardening, dance, women in mythology, and Mexico, (her second home).
She utilizes numerous metal techniques in her work, including:
Lost wax casting, repoussé, chasing, hydraulic press forming, fold forming, Keum Boo, forging, as well as traditional metalsmithing techniques. From the beginning, she has been drawn to the spontaneity and intricacy inherent in working with wire, with its infinite sculptural possibilities.
Sandra and her husband, David have won numerous Best of Show and First Place awards for their jewelry and sculpture in national level juried art shows. Since 2000, they have maintained Mythic Silver Studio in the Front Street Campus where they create their meticulously crafted artwork. With their many years of experience, and their individual styles and perspectives, they creatively collaborate, and teach as a duo at their studio, Rosewood Arts Centre, and Troy-Hayner Cultural Arts Center.
One artist will be awarded "Best in Show" for best representation of "Life in the City."

My first hot tub, so I bought the complete kit. I really didn’t need all the items here, but it is good to have just in case. A little bit on the expensive side, but it does come with everything you need. All in all the product is fantastic. I use the shock all the time.
Works great!Fast results.With this quality and the price, this is really worth it to get.I would recommend this chemicalVery satisfied with the result.
All the chemicals I've needed in one box
This is a simple way to get my inflatable spa ready for use. Aquadoc's starter kit had all the chemicals I needed to keep the water ready for relaxing. The only "extra" would be the metal prevent, but I use is 4-oz each water change to add a bit of protection the pump. Of course, the bottle only has large volume information, but 2.5-oz for each 100 gallons is their recommendation.I'm concerned about how long the floater will last, but it's working out so far. In the past, I struggled to maintain the proper bromine balance using the built-in dosing ring, but this new approach has proven to be more effective. My box did arrive with the Bromine tablet bottle top not ******* on so there was a fair amount of Bromine dust coating each bottle.
All you need spa starter kit
This Aquadoc hot tub starter kit is everything you need to keep your hot tub clean and clear. It contains all the essential chemicals, including bromine tablets, calcium increaser, pH increaser, pH decreaser, chlorine-free shock, defoamer, metal prevent, floater, and test strips.

Downtown Michigamme hosts Fall Artisans Market
At four years running, the event invited artists from throughout the UP.
Michigamme, Mich. (WLUC) - Rescheduled to Sunday because of the rainy day prior, the weather conditions proved ideal for those to enjoy Downtown Michigamme and shop for local fine art at the fourth annual Fall Artisans Market.
And no matter that the breeze picked up right around the 3 p.m. hour. The event was just about getting wrapped up by then.
Artists came from as far as Ontonagon and offered a variety of art works for everyone -- scroll saw, glass-blown, electric shock paintings, wood carvings, jewelry and even masks.
The event also featured live music and lunch served by members of the market committee. Organizers applauded the volunteer group effort and great turnout.
“The reason we run it is to get people to come and discover Michigamme, our little town. And we definitely support all the local artists all over the U-P, because we do not charge them to be in the show. We ask for an item that we raffle off and put them back into the markets,” said Julia Leake, Co-Organizer from the Michigamme Downtown Development Authority.
The event running a successful fourth year -- this time under face mask and social distancing guidelines.

The EU has decided to give Cyprus a bank bailout package that will penalize banks' customers via a levy that everyone who has any money in a Cypriot bank is forced to pay and a run has begun on Cypriot banks with people withdrawing their money.
This savings tax, as it is being referred to, is automatically deducted from account holder's accounts without them having any say in the matter. This is the state stealing people's money by order of the European Union.
The fear is now that this could set a precedence for the banks in other countries such as Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal and it could just happen that investors are going to withdraw deposits from banks in those countries.
Chances are that such actions, should they happen could bring the Euro to its knees and with it, more than likely, the EU altogether.
Banks, apparently, will be closed until the moneys have been withdrawn to prevent people taking their money out of the banks and thus foiling the plot. Initially it was said that this closure of banks would be just until Tuesday, March 19, but this has now been extended until Thursday, March 21.
No wonder the powers-that-be want everyone too no longer use cash and, in the UK, any cash transaction above a certain amount, presently one thousand pound, will immediately be informed to the police. So, if you go into a store to buy an expensive PC or a plasma TV or a car in a car show room and come in with the money in cash the store will immediately call the police who will then come and ask a lot of questions.


French authorities have detained two more people in the investigation into the Bastille Day truck attack on the Mediterranean city of Nice that killed at least 84 people.
An official with the Paris prosecutor's office, which oversees national terrorism investigations, said a man and a woman were detained Sunday morning in Nice but provided no details on their identities. The official said five people detained previously remain in custody.
Authorities are trying to determine whether truck driver Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Tunisian who had lived in Nice for years, was acting alone in Thursday night's deadly attack.
The Daesh terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though people close to him noted no signs of radicalism, just anger.
With scores still hospitalized, France's health minister is visiting Nice.

Michael Jackson kreslil rád a některé z jeho skic se dostaly na veřejnost. Je znát, že je nadaný i po této stránce. Ke kreslení jej kdysi přivedla zpěvačka Diana Ross.
"Když jsme se přestěhovali do Kalifornie, bydleli jsme u ní víc jak rok." (Než rodiče vyměnili dům v Gary za vhodný dům v Kaliforni) (...) "Bylo to důležité období mého života, protože Diana milovala umění a snažila se ho zpřístupnit i pro mě. Nelitovala času a já se od ní hodně naučil. Skoro každý den jsme šli ven, jen my dva, koupili jsme tužky a barvy a malovali. Když jsme nemalovali, chodili jsme do muzeí. To ona mi ukázala díla největších malířů, jako byli Michelangelo nebo Degas. Byl to počátek mého celoživotního zájmu o umění."
Michael Jackson ve své knize Moonwalk
"Michael byl úžasný. Kreslil lidi, se kterýma mluvil po telefonu a říkal: ´S tímhle mluvím.´"
Anthony Jackson, Michaelův synovec
"I love to draw—pencil, ink pen—I love art. When I go on tour and visit museums in Holland, Germany or England—you know those huge paintings?—I’m just amazed. You don’t think a painter could do something like that. I can look at a piece of sculpture or a painting and totally lose myself in it. Standing there watching it and becoming part of the scene. It can draw tears, it can touch you so much. See, that’s where I think the actor or performer should be—to touch that truth inside of the person. Touch that reality so much that they become a part of what you’re doing and you can take them anywhere you want to. You’re happy, they’re happy. Whatever the human emotions, they’re right there with you. I love realism. I don’t like plastics. Deep down inside we’re all the same. We all have the same emotions and that’s why a film like E.T. touches everybody. Who doesn’t want to fly like Peter Pan? Who doesn’t want to fly with some magic creature from outer space and be friends with him? Steven went straight to the heart. He knows—when in doubt, go for the heart..."
“I had the opportunity to be in school with him, tenth grade, that was the school in Encino with about ninety students, so I took an art class with him. I would watch him make these drawings, and then he’d ball them up and throw them away. I asked him one day, ‘I really love that Charlie Chaplin drawing, can I have that one?’ And he said, ‘Sure, go ahead and take it home and enjoy it’, but he didn’t sign it. So I got home, and my Dad said that should probably be signed, and he sent me back to school. I had him sign it, and he just picked up a crayon and signed ‘Michael Jackson’. It was around 1972-1973 school year. And this [second drawing]… I really enjoy the picture of this woman, and I asked him who it was, and I could not remember the answer, but I had the opportunity to present these pictures to Jermaine Jackson, and he told me this looked like one of the tutors they’d go on tour with, when they weren’t in school, they had a tutor, and this looked like her.”
Lori Shapiro, Michael’s classmate
“We practiced doing certain things with pencil and colored pencil, but Michael was a perfectionist and so he would get angry at himself if what he was trying to do didn’t work very well. He was so impatient with himself, so we had a few lessons like that and I told him it takes a long time to develop skills in art. You know he really didn’t have the time to devote to that with his music and all the other things he was doing, he simply did not have the time to sit down to do the kind of practicing that he needed to do. Still, I am convinced that if Michael had devoted himself to art, he would have been a great artist, but if he devoted himself to be a preacher, he would have been a great preacher. If he devoted himself to being a doctor, he would have been a great doctor. So it did not really matter what he chose. And he always told me, ‘You know I could be working on a gas station, if I have not been given this talent’. He said, ‘Who knows what I would be doing.’”


In a recent article in the New York Times, MD and Lifestyle Medicine Pioneer Dean Ornish casts light on the myth of high-protein diets and how this myth has (and ultimately will) affect our society's health and well-being. In the article, he discusses the debate of low-fat versus low-carb and how it can't be that simplistic.
"MANY people have been making the case that Americans have grown fat because they eat too much starch and sugar, and not enough meat, fat and eggs. Recently, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee lifted recommendations that consumption of dietary cholesterol should be restricted, citing research that dietary cholesterol does not have a major effect on blood cholesterol levels. The predictable headlines followed: “Back to Eggs and Bacon?”
But, alas, bacon and egg yolks are not health foods.
Although people have been told for decades to eat less meat and fat, Americans actually consumed 67 percent more added fat, 39 percent more sugar, and 41 percent more meat in 2000 than they had in 1950 and 24.5 percent more calories than they had in 1970, according to the Agriculture Department. Not surprisingly, we are fatter and unhealthier."

David Katz, MD, MPH, president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center, was recognized for the third year in a row amongst the top 25 in this year’s 100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness.
It’s evident that this is a man on a mission. “My hope is to leverage every increment of influence I have, and to rally colleagues, to help convert what we know about lifestyle as medicine into what we do. We could add years to lives, and life to years by doing so, and I am totally devoted to advancing that mission.”
In his role as ACLM president, Dr. Katz speaks often of the pressing need to turn what we know about lifestyle in medicine and lifestyle as medicine into routine action, resulting in our ability to slash global rates of all major chronic diseases by as much as 80 percent.
Read ACLM's standards.
Dr. David Katz has begun his two-year term as president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM). The election of Dr. Katz, an internationally recognized advocate and thought leader of lifestyle medicine, coupled with the appointment of Susan Benigas, a seasoned marketing strategist and communications expert as ACLM's new executive director, positions ACLM to promote healthy living habits to a wider audience and move lifestyle medicine solidly into the mainstream of health care and society.
Commenting on his election as ACLM's new president, Dr. Katz said, “This is a wonderful opportunity. The very name of this organization places an emphasis on the key issue for medicine in our time. There is a lot of focus right now on health care reform, but that is merely reforming a disease care system. If we really want to value health, we must develop strategies to shift to lifestyle medicine. Our biggest challenge is affecting culture change, not just in medicine, but to lifestyle as medicine.”
In addition to Dr. Katz assuming the President's role, the ACLM Leadership Team has been strengthened with the appointment of Susan Benigas as Executive Director. Benigas brings to her new role with ACLM over 25 years of experience in project and organizational management, as well as marketing and communications expertise. The ACLM Board selected Benigas because of her impressive credentials and track record, coupled with her passion for the field of lifestyle medicine.
One of the strategic initiatives that Katz and Benigas will focus on in the months ahead is moving forward ACLM's leadership efforts to develop a comprehensive lifestyle medicine curriculum. This curriculum will cover guidance for implementing the lifestyle medicine competencies and in-depth reviews of nutrition, physical activity, sleep, emotional well being, and management of substance use.
Join both Dr. Katz and Susan Benigas this fall in San Diego at ACLM’s annual conference, Lifestyle Medicine 2014 in San Diego, CA!

Zebra Shell Dweller (Neolamprologus similis) Care
The Zebra Shell Dweller, scientifically known as Neolamprologus similis, is an intriguing species from Lake Tanganyika, Africa. As a semi-aggressive fish, it brings interest and dynamism to your aquarium. But remember, your care approach will determine its overall health and thriving ability in its new home.
This page may contain affiliate links, which will earn us a commission. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
Zebra Shell Dweller Species Profile and Identification
The Zebra Shell Dweller, also known by its scientific name: Neolamprologus similis, is a freshwater fish unique to the Lake Tanganyika region in Africa. They are known for their semi-aggressive temperament and distinctive dwelling behavior.
Let’s delve into some core features of Zebra Shell Dwellers:
- Size: On average, males measure between 5 – 6 cm (1.9 – 2.3 inches) with females being slightly smaller. Their compact size makes them a good fit for smaller tanks, but they require enough space to exhibit natural behaviors.
- Color and Markings: They are called Zebra Shell Dwellers due to the horizontal dark brown to black stripes that run across their light to dark brown bodies, somewhat similar to the stripes of a zebra.
- Behavior: Noted for their semi-aggressive nature, they typically claim and protect a territory around empty snail shells. These territories are where they feed, breed, and hide from threats.
- Lifespan: With attentive care and optimal tank conditions, these resilient fish usually live up to around 10 years.
Keeping an eye out for these distinguishing features can help you correctly identify and understand your Zebra Shell Dweller. Understanding their profile is integral to providing them with the best care and environment.
Remember, each Zebra Shell Dweller has a unique character; their behavior can alter mildly depending on the fish’s personality and the conditions of your aquarium.
Zebra Shell Dweller Supplies
As a beginner, it’s pivotal to align the Zebra Shell Dweller supplies accurately. Gathering the correct supplies is a proactive step towards a healthy and comfortable environment for your fish.
- Tank: A crucial choice. Opt for a 20 gallon (75 liter) tank if keeping a pair. If housing a group, opt for a larger unit.
- Water Conditioner: Ta vital tool. Aim for one that maintains a high PH, between 7.5 – 9.
- Heater: To maintain a steady water temperature between 24 – 27C (75 – 80F).
- Substrate: A soft sandy substrate is a must-have. Zebra Shell Dwellers love to dig! They thrive in a thick layer. Fine aragonite sand makes for a perfect choice, it also helps in keeping the water buffered to 8.2.
- Shells: Provide each fish with 2 or 3 empty snail shells. Escargot shells work wonderfully!
- Decorative Items: Texas holey rock is optional but adds aesthetic and functional value. It buffers the water and provides a line of sight block.
- Plants: Optional, but appreciated! Float hornwort, or affix Java fern on the Texas holey rock. Vallisneria also thrives in such an environment.
Check off these essentials, and you’ll set a firm foundation for your Zebra Shell Dwellers! Remember, a well-thought-out, well-equipped tank leads to happy, healthy fish. Learning and preparation now will reward you with a thriving aquatic environment later.
Zebra Shell Dweller Tank Setup
Setting up your Zebra Shell Dweller tank is a significant part of fishkeeping. Careful planning will result in a healthier, more comfortable environment for your fish. Here’s how to do it:
Firstly, choose the right tank size. For one pair of Zebra Shell Dwellers, you’ll need at least a 20-gallon (around 75 liters) tank. If you’re looking to support a group of these Tanganyika natives, opt for a larger tank. Remember, more space means less stress for your fish.
Secondly, make your tank mimic their natural habitat as much as possible. Layer the bottom with a soft sandy substrate. Using fine aragonite sand is a good choice as it aids in keeping your water at an optimal PH. Ensure that you’ve made the substrate layer thick, as these fish love to dig.
Shell is a key part of a Zebra Shell Dweller’s setup. Provide empty snail shells for each of your fish. Around 2-3 escargot shells per fish should be enough. These shells serve both as a hiding spot and a breeding location for these little fish.
Additionally, consider adding Texas holey rock to your setup. Though optional, it helps to buffer the water. On top of that, it can block the line of sight, reducing potential aggression among your fish.
Lastly, incorporate plants to mimic their natural environment. Zebra Shell Dwellers appreciate extras like hornwort and Java fern. You can float these in your tank or attach them to the Texas holey rock. Vallisneria should thrive as well.
Zebra Shell Dweller Water Requirements
Water quality is paramount for Zebra Shell Dwellers, also known as Neolamprologus similis. Notably, they thrive in alkaline water conditions, reflecting their native environment in Lake Tanganyika, Africa.
Here are their specific requirements:
- Water Hardness: It would be best if you provided them with hard water. Hardness should roughly be between 10-20 degrees dH (178.5-357 ppm).
- pH Levels: Zebra Shell Dwellers require an alkaline pH. Opt for a high pH range of 7.5 – 9. Maintaining this pH level is crucial for their health.
- Water Temperature: Be meticulous about temperature regulation. Aim for a range of 24 – 27 °C. In imperial measurements, this is 75°F – 80°F.
Here’s a quick overview:
|10-20 degrees dH (178.5-357 ppm)
|7.5 – 9
|24 – 27C (75°F – 80°F)
To maintain these conditions, be mindful when choosing your substrate and decor. For instance, selecting fine aragonite sand will help buffer the pH level in the range of 8.2. The Texas holey rock is another suitable choice, as it buffers the water while providing an added advantage of blocking line of sight.
Remember, consistency is critical in maintaining water parameters. Regular testing and adjustments will ensure your Zebra Shell Dwellers thrive in their aquatic home. Regular partial water changes also play an integral part in keeping the water parameters stable.
Zebra Shell Dweller Diet and Feeding
Zebra Shell Dwellers, scientifically known as Neolamprologus similis, are omnivorous. This characteristic constitutes a key point in their feeding, as they wouldn’t survive on a veggie-only regimen.
To maintain a balanced diet, provide them a diversified menu. Here is an indicative sample diet:
- High-quality flake food: This can serve as a staple in their diet, given its nutritional value. It contains essential proteins and fibers which are important for their healthy growth.
- Frozen foods: You can include frozen daphnia, brine shrimp, and Mysis in their diet for variety. Always thaw frozen food before feeding.
- Live foods: Occasionally, consider feeding live foods. These could include brine shrimp, blood worms, or daphnia.
- Vegetables: Blanched zucchini, peas, and cucumber can be given sparingly. These can supplement the diet with essential vitamins.
Remember, Zebra Shell Dwellers are bottom feeders. Always ensure the food pieces are small enough to reach the bottom. Be careful not to overfeed; one to two feeds per day are ample.
Maintaining optimal feeding times is crucial. Regular, consistent feeding schedules will keep your fish healthier and happier. Like most fishes, Zebra Shell Dwellers have their own feeding patterns and preferences. Observe keenly to tailor a feeding regimen that fits your fishes’ unique needs.
While these tips are essential, remember that every Zebra Shell Dweller is unique. What works for one might not for another. Be observant, be flexible, and always be prepared to modify your approach to accommodate the needs of your fish.
With careful feeding management, your Zebra Shell Dwellers can thrive. Your commitment to their care will reward you with their vibrant health and longevity.
Zebra Shell Dweller Care Schedule
Having a consistent care schedule for your Zebra Shell Dweller is paramount. This fish has a specific set of needs that you need to consider daily, weekly, and monthly.
- Monitor the water temperature: Check the thermometer to ensure it stays between 24-27°C (75 to 81°F).
- Observe their Behavior: Look out for any changes in their social interactions or swimming habits.
- Testing the Water: The water’s PH should be high, somewhere between 7.5-9. Regular testing can help maintain these parameters.
- Cleaning: While Zebra Shell Dwellers prefer a clean environment, they won’t appreciate a complete tank overhaul. Opt for spot cleaning, targeting areas with visible waste buildup.
- Water Changes: About once a month, change 30 to 50% of the tank’s water. This keeps harmful nitrates and pollutants in check.
- Filter Maintenance: Clean the filter regularly without using soap as it can leave toxic residue.
Lastly, remember to feed them twice a day and provide a variety of staple foods and snacks. Once you get the hang of their unique needs, caring for these wonderful creatures can turn out to be a rewarding endeavor. After all, they are worth the effort!
Zebra Shell Dweller Health Problems
Keeping an eye on your fish’s health is crucial. Even the healthy Zebra Shell Dwellers, scientifically known as Neolamprologus similis, can sometimes encounter health problems.
The first prominent issue is Ich. This parasite appears as small white spots on the fish’s body, making it look like it has been sprinkled with salt. If you see such a symptom:
- Isolate infected fish
- Increase the water temperature to 27 °C (80 °F)
- Use an Ich treatment product
Another common issue is bacterial infections. Watch out for dull color, ragged fins, and abnormal swimming patterns. In such cases:
- Use antibacterial medicine
- Improve water quality
- Maintain proper pH balance
Malnutrition also poses a significant threat to these fish. Feeding them a balanced diet is vital.
Skipping shell maintenance can lead to catching shell rot – characterized by white fuzzy patches on the fish’s shell. Properly cleaning and buffering seashells can prevent this issue.
Remember, prevention is better than cure. Regular water changes, close monitoring, and a balanced diet act as the best defense against these health problems.
Zebra Shell Dweller Tank Mates
Choosing the right tank mates is instrumental for maintaining a peaceful and healthy aquarium environment. Zebra Shell Dwellers, scientifically known as Neolamprologus similis, can be semi-aggressive, so it’s crucial to pair them with suitable companions.
Generally, these African cichlids do well with other Tanganyikan fish species that can withstand the same water parameters and aren’t overly aggressive. Here are several fish species that make great tank mates for Zebra Shell Dwellers.
- Calm Fish Species. Non-aggressive species such as Cyprichromis species can be a good fit. They not only tolerate the water parameters of Zebra Shell Dwellers but also inhabit different tank levels, reducing territorial disputes.
- Similar-sized species. Incorporate other Tanganyikan species of similar size. They are generally ideal cohorts for Zebra Shell Dwellers and can handle their semi-aggressive nature.
- Other Shell Dweller Species. Opt for other shell dwellers such as Neolamprologus brevis. Cohabitating with other shell dwellers can stimulate natural behavior and offer an interesting dynamic to your tank.
However, avoid housing Zebra Shell Dwellers with large, highly aggressive species, as this can lead to stress and possible injury. It’s always important to monitor your tank, especially in the early stages, observing the behavior of all the residents to ensure compatibility and prevent unnecessary agitation.
Balancing a multi-species tank can be challenging, but it’s achievable with careful planning and patient observation. Your Zebra Shell Dwellers and their companions will thank you for your efforts in creating a harmonious, stimulating environment that echoes their natural habitat.
Zebra Shell Dweller Breeding
Breeding Zebra Shell Dwellers, or scientifically known as Neolamprologus similis, can be a rewarding endeavor. The preparation stage is a crucial factor in their breeding process. Follow these steps:
- Provide an adequate number of shells: To facilitate spawning, ensure you provide 2 to 3 empty snail shells per fish. Consider using ones like escargot shells.
- Use a soft sandy substrate: The substrate needs to be thick because they’ve a habit of digging. Fine aragonite sand serves well, providing a comfortable nesting area.
- Maintain water quality: Proper water quality facilitates healthy breeding. Keep the water hard with a high pH (7.5-9) and temperature around 24-27°C (75-80°F).
Remember, these gentle cichlids prefer peaceful companions. Overly aggressive fish might discourage breeding. Also, maintain a tank size of at least 20 gallons (90 litres) for a pair, providing enough space for their breeding habits.
Zebra Shell Dwellers have fascinating breeding habits. They usually lay their eggs inside snail shells. You’ll notice the male guarding the territory while the female takes care of the eggs inside the shell.
After the eggs hatch in about 3 days, the fry remains in the shell for another week or so until they are ready to venture out. Do not be surprised if you see your dwellers moving the sand around the tank. This unique behavior is part of their natural instinct to bury the shells, providing security for the offspring.
Breeding these fascinating creatures provides not only a sense of accomplishment but also a glimpse into an amazing aspect of nature that is rarely seen in household aquariums.
Providing appropriate care for your Zebra Shell Dweller is simple if you follow these guidelines. Your investment in proper tank setup, diet, and care schedule will undoubtedly be rewarded with a healthy, vibrant fish. What have your experiences with Zebra Shell Dwellers been like?

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, who went to New Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to have a discussion on the issue of Citizenship Bill, returned to the State after failing to meet the PM.
The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, which has been passed in the Lok Sabha, is now awaiting Rajya Sabha nod.
The Bill is likely to be tabled in the upcoming Rajya Sabha session.
A report published on Sunday by Shillong News stated Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma went to the national capital along with his Cabinet ministers to ‘apprise’ the PM over the stand of the Meghalaya Government regarding the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.
However, the Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh along with his Mizoram counterpart, Zoramthanga. Both the CMs of the two northeastern States – Meghalaya and Mizoram – expressed their opposition towards the Bill.
It has been reported that Chief Minister Conrad Sangma could not meet PM Modi due to the Varanasi tour of the PM. However, many insiders feel that this is a clear signal that the BJP-led NDA Government, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, is allegedly toeing the RSS line which “feels that Hindus should be given home in India.”
The Bill, which seeks to make minority communities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan eligible for applying for Indian citizenship, has been stoutly opposed by political parties and organisations in Northeast India.
For Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, time is fast running out with his opponents in Congress including former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition, Dr Mukul Sangma calling his visit to Delhi as a “waste of public money”.
Continuous protests over the issue across the northeastern region have put the respective governments’ in a tight spot particularly BJP-ruled Assam and Tripura.

Arthroscopy information from trusted sources:
Arthroscopy (ahr-THROS-skuh-pe) is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. During arthroscopy, a surgeon examines and, in many cases, repairs your injured or diseased joint with the help of an optical instrument called an arthroscope. An arthroscope consists of a light source, a lens system, and bundled glass or plastic fibers (fiber optics) to carry light to the area being examined. These parts are encased in a tube, usually about one-eighth of an inch (4 mm) in diameter. A video camera attached to the arthroscope relays the view from within your joint to a video monitor. Because the arthroscope is so narrow, your surgeon needs only a small incision to place it in your joint.
Arthroscopy is a method of viewing a joint, and, if needed, to perform surgery on a joint. An arthroscope consists of a tiny tube, a lens, and a light source. See also: Knee arthroscopy Rotator cuff repair Shoulder arthroscopy
An arthroscopy is a form of keyhole surgery that is used to look inside a joint and repair any damage that has occurred.
Ankle arthroscopy involves the surgical evaluation and treatment of the ankle for a variety of conditions. Arthroscopy involves the use of fiberoptic cameras and very small surgical tools, which work through much smaller incisions than traditional surgery.

Philip Yabut, a 29-year-old solider, was just arrested by Virginia State Police after a bizarre drug-fueled chase involving a stolen military armored vehicle. The suspect allegedly stole the armored vehicle from a nearby National Guard base and drove it around for about 60 miles.
The ordeal began at 7:50 P.M. when the suspect was conducting routine training. Suddenly, he took off in an M577 armored carrier. Virginia State Police were notified five minutes later, and they pursued the vehicle into downtown Richmond. The carrier has a maximum speed of 40 miles per hour, and police kept their distance to ensure civilians were safe throughout the incident. Police are happy to report that no one was harmed and no property was destroyed during the chase, but multiple witnesses took footage of the military vehicle roaming the streets and posted it to social media.
Incredibly, the suspect was active on his Twitter account before and during the police chase. He has served for the National Guard for over eleven years including two deployments to Afghanistan. He was ranked a first lieutenant.
Around 9:40 P.M., the suspect stopped the vehicle at East Broad Street and 11th Street. He exited the vehicle on his own accord near City Hall.
Yabut was arrested and is detained at the Richmond City Jail. The Virginia National Guard has launched an internal investigation into the incident which has resulted in multiple charges. Yabut will be charged with felony eluding, unauthorized use of a military vehicle and DUI.

Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story is breaking many rules of television with Coven, but now that we've almost finished the season, it's clear that not all rules are meant to be broken.
One of the wonderful things about contemporary television is the way in which it entrusts viewers to come to a conclusion on their own when it comes to meaning, intention, and the nature of a contentious protagonist. Much like the most well-respected novels, the greatest examples of television's golden age are subtle series — and not necessarily just dramas — that beg a deeper connection and more acute level of attention. In a way, the emerging new normal is breaking with the rules of traditional television and opting for a more complex view of TV's conceivable narratives.
Now, great television deals out characters whose nature isn't always clear: anti-heroes like Breaking Bad's Walter White. We were entrusted to come to the conclusion by Breaking Bad's end that he wasn't really a sweet, old chemistry teacher forced into a corner by cancer, but a power-hungry man plagued by an innate drive to conquer. (Some folks failed to get there, but that's the rub with demanding television.) Throughout that series, we're given the clues and asked to piece them together ourselves in a seemingly collaborative manner. In the end, we're forced to make our own determinations about Walt with the help of a meticulously constructed deck of evidence from which to cull our ideas.
AHS: Coven, on the other hand, clearly purports to give us the keys to the kingdom with the hopes we find our way to the right tower, but its bread crumbs are rather soggy. The witchy series comes at us from all sides, disorienting us and removing the ground beneath our feet before showering us in a deluge of information and character clues. We're left there, hanging as if suspended above a spinning room, and expected to make determinations about the characters. It's reckless and brutal, but rather than leaving us breathless and desperate to see what happens when the room stops spinning, the pause of forward motion only reveals an incomprehensible mess at our feet.
And at the center of that mess is the series' matriarch and confounding protagonist, Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange). Goode is selfish, power-hunger, and obsessed with youth. She's cutthroat and has already killed two young women in her coven with her bare hands by the penultimate episode, with plans to finish off the rest of them in a brutal bloodbath. Clearly, she's the series' main villain, right? Wrong.
As with any Ryan Murphy series, the story can't be that simple — and for his dramas, complication is the draw. So we met other potential villains: the order of men who hunt witches, Marie LaVeau who sends a witch hunter after the coven, and Madame LaLaurie whose racist massacres are the stuff of terrifying legend in New Orleans. We meet Emma Roberts' Madison, who starts off as a spoiled brat with super powers and quickly becomes a vile creature willing to lead her fellow witch Misty Day to her grave — literally — if it means getting one step closer to supreme power. Even Nan, who was a pillar of goodness, eventually becomes petty and nasty when faced with the option to take power.
The layers begin to peel back and we see that LaVeau was forced into her violent ways thanks to the damage done by seeing over a hundred years of injustice. We find LaLaurie inching towards repentance before slipping right back into her racist, violent roots. Madison attempts to murder Misty, yet she's back in the gang as if nothing happened. All the while, Fiona swaps back and forth between coven savior — like when she and LaVeau take down the witch hunters — and being the enemy of its existence — like any time Myrtle has anything to say about it.
The problem is not that we can't keep up with all the twists and turns the series makes each episode, it's that the series itself clearly can't decide which side of the fence it's on, particularly when it comes to Fiona. The writers have such high regard for Fiona — likely thanks to the magnificent Lange — that it seems difficult for them to let her be the villain she clearly is. So they complicate her character in unnecessary ways, piling on rubble where substance should be.
In the series penultimate episode, "Go To Hell," this confusion can be seen through the eyes of the coven's young witches who look upon Fiona's portrait in the hall and declare her wise and beautiful. Cordelia corrects them, declaring that Fiona was a horrible supreme witch who wasted her powers on irresponsibility and selfishness. And sure, the series is attempting to finally take a stand on Fiona through Cordelia, but that's after waffling haphazardly through the other 11 episodes of the series. It's difficult to trust that declaration.
Unlike series that have clearly cut out paths for their characters to walk like a tightrope, Fiona was careening back and forth with picturesque, but non deliberate motions in AHS' spinning room. It feels almost accidental that she wound up on the villain side when the carousel stopped.
All this isn't meant to say that AHS didn't give a good ol' college try to the idea of breaking the rules of television, it's just that it takes great skill and knowledge to break rules and create something incredible. AHS tried, but it simply isn't up to the task.
