A shout out to all of those members who still walk the halls of academia and man the trenches of the classrooms on Teacher's Appreciation Day. I know at least 3-4 members who are or were teachers, but I don't want to call out names as I am afraid I might miss someone, so a general huzzah to all of you. -M Appreciated! (Especially at the moment, as I'm neck deep in grading final papers.) And just for fun, my favorite classroom scene comic book cover:

Picked 200+ mangoes today. Didn't have to climb the trees, used a fruit rod and had a nice upper body workout at the same time.

The Ace cider is a mango-infused apple cider, as are most commercial flavored ciders. Apple cider is a good reliable base for large-volume commercial production, and is easily altered or enhanced with flavorings.
However, it is possible to make pure cider (or wine or brandy) out of any fruit (fresh or dried) even mango. Granted, there is a higher risk of spoilage with certain fruits, especially those that are low in pectins and pectinase. In these cases, pectin often has to be added to the mash or wort. But even in those cases, the marriage of yeast and fructose can produce some intriguing results.
Homebrewers agree that mango cider is entirely possible, and here's the proof (see the link)--

I really wish my dogs would quit pissing on the rug. It's the same rug every time. It's the one that is the most difficult to clean that they have access to at night.
I like the rug, but we are about ready to toss it and buy a similar machine washable one.

Comedian Dave Chapelle tackled on stage while doing his stand up act. Open season ?

If the comedians were built like wrestlers, it might be a different story.

Chris Rock was a guest of Chapelle. There is a video of Chapelle inviting Rock onto stage after the attack. Rock walks to the mic and says "Was that Will Smith?!"
I groan-laughed.

Mine wouldn't pee even if you pay her. She waits till she's outside.
