Best Moca in Boulder?
Feb 27th
And here’s how you do it.
Take a small coffee pot that brews four cups. Take a package of Swiss Miss pour it into the bottom of the pot. Then brew the coffee. When thei coffee is all brewed take a spoon and stir the bottom of the pot o get all the chocolate off the bottom. Pour into your favorite cup and then add a bit of half and half. Then take that concoction stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds and wallah, steaming Swiss mocha to die for.
The problem with all the coffee shops in Boulder is they will take espresso and then a ton of milk and then some chocolate syrup crap and throw in a cup, steam it and call that Swiss mocha and is absolutely not Swiss mocha is made from hot chocolate and coffee (not espresso) and mocha mocha mocha is Swiss Swiss Swiss. Coffee baristas need to get it through their head and stop serving up watery crap to us. Your kitchen you can do it 10 times cheaper. I mean who wants to go to say the Cup and spend $4.50 for their crappy mocha when for $1.50 you can go buy Swiss Miss, coffee $2.00 a can, and some half and half for 1.50. You can make your
own what we do. And it’s yum

CU: Shakespeare on the road in anti-violence drive
Feb 25th
third anti-violence school tour
Following on the heels of its nationally recognized anti-violence school tours based on “The Tempest” and “Twelfth Night,” the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has hit the road with a new production of “Much Ado About Nothing.”
The highly praised program, co-created with the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at the University of Colorado Boulder, brings abridged productions of Shakespeare’s plays into schools to stimulate discussion about the “cycle of violence.” More than 38,000 Colorado schoolchildren have participated in the program, which was launched in 2011.
Professional actors perform the play and lead students in small-group exercises exploring issues raised, such as gossip and bullying. Actors receive training through the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence and, among other things, educate students about Safe2Tell, an anonymous tip line to report bullying.
The new production focuses on the potential damage caused by gossip and the power of language, said Amanda Giguere, director of outreach for the festival.
In the play, Beatrice and Benedick are “frenemies” known for their constant verbal sparring. Their friends play a prank on them by gossiping within earshot about their mutual affection. In the meantime, the villain Don John fabricates a nasty rumor about Hero’s infidelity, which results in her public humiliation on her wedding day.
“Gossip and rumors can quickly damage a reputation and can have a negative impact on a person’s self-esteem,” Giguere said. “This play explores the power of words. When does a ‘merry war’ turn hostile? When does teasing go too far? What kind of damage can rumors cause? It’s a perfect vehicle for engaging students with questions about the cycle of violence and the negative impact gossip can have on a school climate.”
Some 26 percent of high school students report that other students have told lies or spread rumors about them, according to Beverly Kingston, director of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence.
“Every day, kids are faced with difficult issues like gossiping and spreading rumors,” she said. “This play brings these issues to life and empowers students to reflect on these topics and see how they can make better choices.”
Whether they are exploring rumor-mongering, bullying or other harmful behaviors, one key goal of the plays and workshops is to help students feel empowered.
“One of the best things schools can do is to promote a positive school climate where students feel physically and emotionally safe,” Kingston said. “School climate is continuously created in every single interaction. This play is a tangible action toward building a positive school climate.”
Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s anti-violence production of “Much Ado About Nothing” is available for booking. For more information email csfedout@colorado.edu, call 303-492-1973 or visit coloradoshakes.org/education/csf-schools.
The Colorado Shakespeare Festival is a professional theater company in association with CU-Boulder and has performed the works of Shakespeare every summer since 1958. The Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence is part of CU-Boulder’s Institute of Behavioral Science.
