March 13: Officers received a noise complaint in a neighborhood in the 900 block of Cedar Street at a late hour. The caller stated there were people playing with their dogs and rolling tires down the roadway. Extra patrol of the neighborhood was provided.
March 12: A business in the 600 block of Peace Portal reported a shoplifting incident that involved a juvenile male. Officers located the 13-year-old at the skate park and returned him to the store, where he paid for the merchandise. The young man was trespassed from the business and released to his father.
March 12: Blaine officers were asked to check on two men who had been parked in a van near a business for an extended time. Officers spoke with the pair, who advised that they were living in their vehicle and felt it would be all right to park there as they had purchased food. They decided to proceed to the nearest rest area where they could sleep undisturbed for the night.
March 12: Officers responded to a report of a vehicle driving recklessly in a neighborhood in the 300 block of 3rd Street. Officers found the suspect vehicle: the occupants reported they were fleeing a group of four intoxicated men who instigated a fight, jumped on their vehicle, and threw large rocks on their car causing several hundred dollars in damage. The victims had limited suspect descriptions, and an area check was negative for locating any possible suspects.
March 12: Blaine police responded to the 500 block of 11th Street on a report that a car had driven through a yard and crashed into a tree. The driver ran from the vehicle, and was located by police officers with the assistance of U.S. Border Patrol agents. He was arrested and subsequently transported to St. Joseph Hospital by personnel from fire district 13.
March 11: Officers responded to the Blaine Harbor where a vessel was reported to be on fire. Officers provided assistance to North Whatcom Fire and Rescue and Blaine Harbor personnel. The vessel appeared to be a total loss, and some damage was done to the boathouse and an adjacent vessel. The cause of the blaze appeared to be non-criminal and related to a heater left on board during a cold snap.
March 11: A parent reported learning that their estranged spouse had assaulted their child a month previously during an argument. A report was taken and an investigation is pending.
March 10: A resident reported a friend staying at their residence had stolen over $2,000 in jewelry. The suspect was contacted nearby and admitted to taking the jewelry and hiding it in their clothing. They stated they took the jewelry in retaliation for their clothing being burned or thrown away over the course of the last few months by the reporting party. All jewelry except for a few items was recovered. The case was forwarded to Whatcom County prosecutor for review of theft charges.
March 10: A resident notified the police that a stranger was in her enclosed back yard, claiming to be looking for a dog for medical purposes. The trespasser was located: he was an animal health care provider who had inadvertently gone to the wrong house and compounded the error by not knocking on the front door.
March 10: The new owner of a multiple family housing development came into the police department to report someone entering an unoccupied building, and causing damage estimated at about $1,500. In addition to the damage, two tub surrounds were stolen. Extra patrol of the area was requested and the owners will be taking measures to protect the property.
March 9: Officers responded to a 911 hang up call in the 300 block of E Street and found an ongoing domestic dispute in progress. One man was arrested for biting another family member. He was transported to the Whatcom County Jail for booking on that charge, and also found to have a felony warrant from Skagit County sheriffs office for assault.
March 9: Officers were dispatched to a report of a car driving recklessly in a private parking lot. When the caller contacted the vehicle he was verbally threatened and harassed by the driver and occupants. Officers checked the area for the vehicle but it had departed.
March 8: A business in the 300 block of D Street reported that people had dumped cardboard boxes full of styrofoam peanuts into their dumpster without permission on at least three occasions. The styrofoam was blowing around and causing a mess. The officer contacted the people whose names were listed as addressees on the boxes, and they agreed that no further disposal at the business would occur. The business was satisfied with the resolution.
March 8: A business requested a welfare check on one of their employees, who left to take a break and had failed to return almost three hours later. The caller was concerned for the individual's safety, because it was out of character for them to leave without telling someone. Officers located the employee at home: they were not in need of assistance and the business was notified.
March 8: Officers were advised of a homeowner in the 500 block of D Street who has built up a lot of garbage in their yard. The garbage was starting to blow around the neighborhood. The owner of the residence was not available for contact. Code enforcement was notified.
March 8: A parent called police to discuss ongoing problems with an out of control juvenile. Officers discussed options with the parents and will document future incidents.
March 8: An officer responded to the Peace Arch port of entry for a subject with eight Blaine Municipal court warrants. The subject was booked into the Whatcom County Jail on those warrants as well as several others.
March 7: Officers were asked to check on a family in the 300 block of 6th Street that had not been heard from for weeks. Officers contacted the family and found that everything was fine.
March 7: Officers stopped a car in the 1400 block of Hughes Avenue because the registered owner did not have a license. The registered owner was driving and was arrested. The driver had warrants for his arrest but the jail was overcrowded and unable to make room. He was cited and released. His car was impounded.
March 7: Officers stopped a vehicle in the 1600 block of Runge Avenue after determining that the registered owner had a suspended driver's license. The driver was the registered owner and was arrested. Officers issued citations and released the 46-year-old Blaine resident pending a court appearance.
March 7: A subject was arrested for DUI and was found to be in violation of a court order requiring an ignition interlock device. The person will be issued a citation for the offense by summons.
March 6: Two children, ages nine and 11, called 9-1-1 when they had arrived home from school and found no parents were home. A Blaine police officer immediately responded to the home, which lies just inside WCSO jurisdiction. Apparently the girls' parents were unaware that their kids had gotten out of school early because of parent/teacher conferences. An officer stayed with the kids until a neighbor took them to her home.

Welcome Everybody!
It's been a little while since I posted anything, but I just wanted to repost this 'welcome' post for all the new people that have started to follow me recently. So… 'HI! HELLO! HOLA!'!
I'll be doing my best to update this tumblr on a regular basis…and by regular I mean semi regular. As I have mentioned before…I work a lot. In essence I work a full time job and freelance as a comic colorist, so I don't get much down time for personal art stuffs. Hence why my Deviant Art gallery has been so dead for so long.
I do get the chance to doodle and sketch now and again, and this is where most of that work will be posted. I also reblog interesting things from other artists and far more interesting people then I…and there is the occasional random non-art related posts of stuff that I just find amusing or important.
But well, that is about it :) Thanks for adding me to your watch lists! Hopefully I'll get to posting some cool and worthy stuff for you to feast your eyes upon. But for now…you'll just have to suffer thru my sketchy crum doodles and fandom art.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the Clery Act) requires higher education institutions to provide timely warnings of crimes that represent a threat to the campus community and to publish their campus security policies. The Act also requires that the crime data are collected, reported, and disseminated to the campus community, the Department of Education, and potential students and employees.Your safety and security are important at the University of Alaska Southeast. It is our policy to comply with the Clery Act.
The purpose of the law is to inform students and employees of the incidents of on-campus crime and the policies and procedures to prevent crime or to report occurrences of crime at institutions of higher education. The law is also designed to encourage the development of security policies and procedures and to establish uniformity in reporting of crimes at all such institutions.
The law specifically requires disclosure of the following information: reporting and response to criminal actions; access to campus facilities; campus police authority and working relationships with other law enforcement agencies; accurate statistical crime reporting; monitoring criminal activity at off-campus institutional associated organizations; policies regarding alcohol and drugs, and alcohol and drug abuse educational programs; sexual assault prevention programs and the procedures to be followed when a sexual offense occurs.
Disclosure Topics Include
Nonresidential Facilities
Most nonresidential campus buildings are open to the public during the day and evening hours for all scheduled classes and activities.
All nonresidential campus buildings are closed and locked during holiday breaks and access is greatly reduced during semester breaks. If you are riding the bus or being dropped off by a friend, don't assume the buildings are open. Check the schedule or call the campus before leaving for campus to ensure that facilities are open.
Residential Facilities(Juneau only)
The Juneau Campuses has student residences. At least one student residence advisor is on duty every night. The resident advisor duty schedule and telephone numbers are posted at the housing sites. On the Juneau Campus, Goldbelt Security provides additional protection services. The Goldbelt Security Officer on duty may be contacted at (907) 209-6534.
However, residents provide the best security measures. Residents are asked to not invite unknown people into residence halls or rooms, to keep their doors locked at all times and to make sure exterior doors lock behind them when they enter a building. Residents should report any unknown persons to the resident advisor, the housing office, or the security officer. The Community Advisor pager number is (907) 209-6539.
- Firearms arms, explosives, and ammunition of any type are not allowed in the residences.
- The unapproved use, or the possession or sale of firearms, explosives, including firecrackers, dangerous chemicals, or other dangerous weapons is forbidden on campus.
- A firearms storage cabinet is provided for resident use in the Lodge on the Juneau Campus.
The unapproved use, or the possession or sale of firearms, explosives, including firecrackers, dangerous chemicals, or other dangerous weapons is forbidden on campus.
A firearms storage cabinet is provided for resident use in the Lodge on the Juneau Campus.
The Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act was signed into law on August 14, 2008. This legislation requires colleges and university to report fire safety information related to on-campus residence halls.
Several statistics are required to be reported for 2012 and the two previous calendar years, 2010 and 2011, including: the number of fires; fire injuries; the cause of these fires; as well as the amount of damage caused by fires. There have been zero incidences of fires or fire related injuries at UAS during the calendar years of 2010, 2011 and 2012. To view information about fire safety for our on-campus residence halls (Juneau campus only), please visit UAS Fire Plan and UAS Housing Fire Alarm Policy.
The possession, consumption, or appearance of being perceptively under the influence or furnishing of alcoholic beverages on campus, except in rooms or apartments inhabited by residents 21 years of age or older, is forbidden on the Juneau and Sitka Campuses and may lead to disciplinary action by the university, arrest by the police or both.
Possession, consumption, being perceptively under the influence, or the furnishing of any narcotic or dangerous drugs, except as prescribed by an authorized medical doctor, nurse or dentist is prohibited. The sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on campus.
The UAS Student Code of Conduct can be viewed in the Student Guide. As with all members of the university community, the university requires students to conduct themselves honestly and responsibly, and to respect the rights of others. Violations of the Student Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action. For more information, please view the Student Code of Conduct or in the current UAS Academic Catalog.
It is important that all members of the UAS community understand what constitutes a sex offense, how to report sex offenses, and the potential consequences. Additionally, the University strongly encourages the reporting of sex offenses and provides intervention and referral services for victims.
It is the policy of the University that the sexual assault of one member of the academic community by another will not be tolerated by the University. This policy applies to all members of the campus community: students, faculty, and staff.
The term sexual assault, as used by UAS, encompasses the legal definitions of sexual assault contained in Alaska statutes. It includes, but is not limited to: rape, acquaintance or date rape, and rape by a stranger. Sexual assault is against the law and is defined as sexual misconduct that is forced or coerced against the will of the victim. The same definition applies regardless of whether the assailant is a stranger or an acquaintance (date, friend, or someone known casually). This type of threat may involve physical violence, coercion, or the threat of harm.
A person who has been the victim of sexual assault should report the crime to the local police agency. The Student Resource Center services (advising, conduct, counseling, and the health center) may provide initial support services for student son the Juneau campus. At Sitka and Ketchikan campuses, the local police should be contacted and the Juneau based conduct and counseling staff may serve as resources. Staff will serve in an advisory role and help refer individuals for appropriate medical, police, judicial, and counseling services.
Those who report a sexual assault will be advised of the importance of preserving evidence which may be necessary to provide proof for prosecution. Sexual assault is a serious crime and victims frequently experience emotional trauma and medical consequences. Contacting resources enables victims to receive the professional help they may require. It does not commit the victim to further legal action.
Reported complaints of sexual assault will be investigated, and to the extent possible, the identity of the individuals will be kept confidential. Whether or not criminal charges are in initiated, the victim's right to file a complaint through the student conduct system or employee grievance process remains.
Disciplinary Action
Should the alleged misconduct of a student be subject to review through formal hearing procedures, the accused and accuser will be afforded the opportunity to present relevant information, be accompanied by a support person, and be apprised of the results of the disciplinary review. As appropriate, assistance will be provided in changing academic schedules and living arrangements.
In the event an accused person is found in violation of this policy, the entire range of sanctions outlined in the University Student Code of Conduct may be considered including, but not limited to, disciplinary probation, suspension, or expulsion from the University. Should the alleged sexual assault involve an employee, sanctions will be determined under applicable employment contracts and agreements.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual assault may also be considered a violation of the University of Alaska's policy against sexual harassment. According to the University of Alaska, Board of Regents' policy (04.08.02), sexual harassment involves unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors by a member of the campus community when the assailant uses, threatens to use, or implies that submission to, or rejection of such conduct, will have an impact on employment or academic decisions affecting the victim.
Sexual harassment includes other verbal or physical conduct related to sex when such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's performance at work or study by creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment in which to work, live, or learn. The student services staff, and the appropriate dean's and director's offices can provide information and referral on issues of sexual harassment.
In an effort to educate the campus community about sexual assault, acquaintance rape, and other sex offenses, campus sponsored prevention programs are offered on a regular basis during the semester. Additional information about the above policy, procedures, and prevention programs offered can be obtained from student services.
If you are the victim of a sexual assault or other offense and need counseling assistance, these local resources are available:
In Juneau:
AWARE, Inc at 586-6623
Alaska-Victim-Witness Assistance Program at 465-3600
In Sitka:
SAFV at 747-3370
In Ketchikan:
Gateway Mental Health at 225-4135
Each member of the campus community is part of crime prevention at UAS. The following practices will assist each of us in maintaining personal safety both on and off campus:
- Be alert to your surroundings and the people around you.
- Learn the locations of emergency phones.
- Always lock your car and don't leave valuables in your car.
- Always lock your office or residence.
- Avoid walking alone at night or in dark areas.
- Avoid running alone or using headphones while running.
- Be alert to the presence of wildlife on campus and avoid contact.
- Report harassment of wildlife to the authorities.
- Report suspicious persons or circumstances to authorities.
- Don't leave personal belongings unattended.
- Report crime to the local police promptly.
- Carry your University ID with you at all times while on campus.
Discussion and education regarding safety issues are available to students on the Juneau campus. The UAS residential Community Advisors provide a variety of educational programs. Some of these programs focus on the safety of students by dealing with issues such as date rape, bear safety, personal defense, or "gotcha", wherein notes are left where doors are found left unlocked. The purpose of these programs is to help make students more aware of the campus and community environments.
For emergencies dial 9 - 911 from any campus telephone. Non-emergency contacts for local law enforcement are as follows:
Juneau Police Department at 586-0600
Juneau - Alaska State Troopers at 465-4000
Ketchikan Police Department at 225-6631
Ketchikan - Alaska State Troopers at 225-5118

1. Configuring the TSM Linux/Unix client for Archive
A template options file dsm.sys is available via ftp and is reproduced in the next section. Please edit this file according to the comments at the top of the file.
If your system is not already using TSM software for the HFS Backup Service then you need only to save this
file, once edited, in the TSM installation folder
- typically
/usr/ or
/opt/ then
/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin. You will now be able to access the Archive service
by starting the TSM Client program either as a GUI or a Command Line client as below:
# dsm - for the GUI # dsmc - for the command line client
If you are already using TSM software to Backup, then the edited options should be appended into the existing
dsm.sys file. When you run the TSM Client program, it connects to the first Server listed in
dsm.sys options file. If you have appended the edits then running the TSM Client as before
with no arguments will connect to the HFS Backup Server by default. To connect to the HFS Archive Server the Client
program will now require a Server Name as an argument as below:
# dsm -se=OX_HFS - for the GUI # dsmc -se=OX_HFS - for the command line client
Note that
OX_HFS equates to the entry for the
Servername option in the template

Clash of the Champions XVIII
Quick Stats:
Date: January 21st, 1992.
Venue: Topeka, KA (Expo Center).
Attendance: 5,500 ($24,000 Gate)
Cable Rating: (3.7)
Clash of the Champions XVIII opened up 1992 with a bang, as just about every match on the card delivered big-time. While business was down, booking was bad, and Flair was gone, the in-ring product was excelling thanks in large part to the efforts of the Dangerous Alliance. Due to the fact that I just pulled the tape out, we're going to get a bit more detailed with this great Clash of the Champions card...
Clash XVIII began with the promise of a surprise by Tony Schiavonne and an awesome, stiff match between the Steiner Brothers and the team of Vader and Mr. Hughes. In case you weren't watching at the time, Mr. Hughes (also known as "Big Cat") was known as "The Bodyguard" and wrestled in a near-full suit and dark sunglasses. While I, like every other normal human being housing a brain in their skull cavity, question the merits of a 350 pound black man wrestling in sunglasses, Hughes was powerful none the less. If you enjoy seeing the Steiners (in their primes) tossing around 400 pound men like rag dolls, hunt this match down at all costs. I've never seen ANYONE belly-to-belly Vader off the top ropes since.
I was fast forwarding through the tape and saw a commercial for WCW Magazine which really made me laugh. The commercial was hyping WCW's new magazine, which (like the WWF's magazine) was basically nothing more than a glamorized merchandise catalogue. Anyway, the hook for the magazine was all the "insider information" that was to be found within the pages. Things were much different in 1992 though, as "insider information" was basically kayfabed drivel about how "Rick Rude has been seen talking to Terry Taylor in the back recently," or "Sting has been giving Ron Simmons advice on Lex Luger's weaknesses." Ha. Anyway, the commercial featured many WCW personalities reading the magazine with bewildered looks on their faces. The most notable comments..
El Gigante: "It's so... BIGGGGGG"
Paul E Dangerously: (Looking Bewilderedly at an article about himself): "No.. No.... NO!!!!!!!!!"
Tony Schaivonne: (My Personal Favorite, sounding hokey and contrived and throwing his hands into the air): "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PRINTED THAT!!!!!!"
Ron Simmons: (Looking to the ground and inadvertently creating a quasi-sexual pun): "IT'S MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Up next, we get the best of both worlds, as WCW quickly manages to alienate both their Japanese viewers AND their gay viewers in one fell swoop courtesy one interview. Eric Bischoff is at ringside interviewing Brian Pillman while Johnny B Badd stands by for some reason. Badd begins planting kisses on the cheek of Bischoff while mouthing, "He's so pretty," all the while Brian Pillman is talking about how the Japanese are the bane of America's existence. Keep in mind Pillman is a babyface at the time getting ready to face Jushin Thunder Liger in a big rematch at SuperBrawl, but he is just BRUTAL on the Japanese. Pillman ends the interview by assaulting the gay, who is ALSO a babyface. My oh my, I can hear the TV's turning off, even on the ten year old THQ tape.
In yet another surprising development, K. Allen Frye (looking like a DEAD-RINGER for a balding Nicolas Cage) is on the ramp with his entourage to be interviewed by Tony Schiavonne. Frye comes across as very professional, very competent, and just really damn good at his job. He announces that the main event for SuperBrawl will be a World Title Matchup between Sting and Lex Luger. That's not all though, Frye also announces that the match is so big that he needed to find the one and only man who could call the match as it deserved. He brought that man out.. Overnight, WCW had signed one of the most recognizable announcers in wrestling history... Jessie "The Body" Ventura.
Up next came a match that has garnered somewhat of a cult following... Cactus Jack against Van Hammer in a "Falls Count Anywhere in Kansas match." For my Brittish and Canadian readers who didn't get to see much WCW at this time, Van Hammer was a mediocre wrestler given a heavy-metal gimmick and a $20,000 entrance video. He had the look, the push, and the marketability to be a huge star. In fact, he only had one weakness: wrestling. Too bad $20,000 can't buy basic arm-bar mechanics...
What follows next is what can only be described as a sick, sick joke... The "New Freebirds." We see yet another music video of the Freebirds "producing" their new entrance theme, which can only be accurately described as horrendous. As the video plays, the babyface Freebirds sing, hop, and dance their way around the arena carrying sparkly canes and wearing sparkly top hats, all to a massive chorus of boos. The video is one of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever seen in WCW, as each of the "rock n' roll musicians" have haircuts which more closely resemble hibernating beavers than actual heads of hair. The entrance takes up close to eight minutes as the Freebirds lip sink their new theme into tiny, microphones. You'd think with weeks to prepare for this shit, they'd at least, you know, remember the words, but think again silly mark. Garbage like this makes me look back at my childhood and question why I didn't reject it ten years ago.
Ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta is visibly embarrassed, starting his ring introductions "Well.......... Ladies and Gentlemen....." Anyway...
The Dangerous Alliance headlined the card in the form of two separate tag matches. Although the Alliance lost both matches, they in fact came out looking even stronger as a direct result of Clash of the Champions XVIII. Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, and Ron Simmons took on Arn Anderson, Larry Zbysko, and Bobby Eaton in an awesome six-man tag match that match that ended with Windham nailing Bobby Eaton with his cast for the pin.
The main event of Clash of the Champions XVIII featured four of the greatest wrestlers in the history of the world facing off in one amazing tag match. Sting and Ricky Steamboat battled for nearly fifteen minutes to hold off the onslaught of the Dangerous Alliance's top two powerhouses... Rick Rude and Steve Austin. After a quarter hour of intense, nonstop action, Sting and Ricky Steamboat both held Steve Austin down for the three-count in what was, in all likelihood, the greatest collection of talent contained in one dogpile in wrestling history.
To sum up Clash of the Champions XVIII in two words: Money Talks. EVERYONE on this card busted their ass for one reason and one reason only: The $5,000 bonus K. Allen Frye would give to the wrestlers who had the best match of the evening.

WrestleWar 1992 will go down in the history books for one reason and one reason only: one of the most incredible, brutal matches in wrestling history in WarGames 1992...
The undercard of WrestleWar 1992 features almost nothing of note, barring a downright scary match between the Steiners and the team of Tatsumi Fujinami and Takayuji Iizuka. This is quite simply one of the stiffest matches I have ever seen. While Wahoo-Valentine it is not, it is still legitimately frightening to watch. Early into the match, Scott Steiner hoists Iizuka onto his shoulders in a position similar to the Razor's Edge. Rick Steiner comes off the top rope with an elbowdrop, all but CRUSHING the face of Takayuji Iizuka. Iizuka was so injured that he could barely even crawl over to tag Fujinami. The rest of the match would consist of The Steiners just absolutely MURDERING the injured kid. All of their offense seemed to focus in on his grossly swollen face, with Scott and Rick even being kind enough to drop repeated STIFF elbows to the eyes of their Japanese opponent. The match finally ended with Rick Steiner belly-to-belly suplexing Iizuka off the top rope and nearly putting him through the canvas. The Steiners celebrated as the bloody mess disguised as their opponent was helped to the back.
The real story of WrestleWar 1992 wasn't the Steiners though, it was WarGames. WarGames had a long, storied history in WCW, and what these ten men did was to simply top every other WarGames match that had ever taken place.
WarGames 1992 was the culmination of months of threats by Paul E. All threats said the same thing, "We want Sting GONE." The Dangerous Alliance (Austin, Rude, Eaton, AA, and Zbysko) took on Sting's hand picked team of friends, consisting of Ricky Steamboat, Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, and newly turned Nikita Koloff. For nearly half an hour, all ten men pounded the shit out of each other within the confines of the double cage (for full WarGames rules, check out my last column). By the end of the half hour, the cage was destroyed, the ring was broken, nearly everyone was bleeding, and the crowd was at a fever pitch. Larry Zbysko had removed the top rope in order to use the metal rod connecting it to the ringpost as a weapon. He attempted to swing on Sting, but instead crushed the shoulder of his teammate Bobby Eaton. Eaton was injured BADLY, and all it took was one brutal armbar to make Bobby tap. One of the single greatest matches in WCW history had come to an end, and the crowd was very appreciative.
Beach Blast 1992
Quick Stats:
Date: June 20th, 1992.
Venue: Mobile, AL (Civic Center).
Attendance: 5,000 ($28,000 Gate)
PPV Buyrate: (0.4)
Beach Blast 1992, despite drawing a very weak gate, started with a bang, as Brian Pillman and Scotty Flamingo (Raven) put on one of the best Light Heavyweight matches since Bill Watts had instigated the no tope rope rule. Pillman injured his knee, foreshadowing his eventual heel turn which would form one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history. Marcus Alexander Bagwell (Buff), the pretty boy babyface rookie, got ROCKED by Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, much to the roaring delight of the Alabama faithful. When Bagwell submit to Valentine's figure-four, the roof nearly blew off of the Mobile Civic Center.
Later on in the card, Sting and Cactus Jack put on yet another Foley match that people still talk about to this day. The match: "Falls Count Anywhere on the Gulf Coast." If you want to see Mick Foley take one brutal, brutal bump after another, look no further than Beach Blast 1992. How this man is not paralyzed at this point in his life is completely beyond me, but one has to wonder if someone's looking out for this guy or something after seeing his body splat off the concrete more times than I can count on two hands. One of the sickest bumps I've ever seen occurs on this card when Cactus Jack lays Sting out on the concrete floor, climbs to the top rope, and misses the elbowdrop with a sickening thud. The match ended after twelve minutes of chaos after Sting hit a flying clothesline from the top rope to the ramp outside for the three count.
Also on this card was the forgotten Iron Man Match. When people here Iron Man match, they immediately think Hart-Michaels, HHH-Rock, or maybe even Flair-Hart from Boston. For some reason, no one seems to remember this match, which is a damn shame because it was amazing. The match in question is Rick Rude against Ricky Steamboat. For half an hour, both men busted their asses to put on an amazing, edge-of-your-seat Iron Man match that still stands the test of time after ten years. When the smoke had cleared and the dust had settled, Ricky Steamboat won the match by a margin of four falls to three, but the real winners were everybody at home watching the match on PPV.
Up next was a six-man tag match between the Dangerous Alliance (Eaton, Anderson, and Steve Austin) against Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes, and Nikita Koloff. After fifteen minutes of solid, if unspectacular action, the match ended in a DQ when Arn Anderson came off of the top rope. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Finally, in the "Dream Match" that the "world had been waiting for," the Steiners and the team of Terry Gordy and Steve Williams went out and delivered a standard tag match with a thirty minute time limit draw. Nothing terribly exciting, and definitely not up to the standards that the Watts hype machine had promised, but in the matches defense, it was meant to be a lead-in to the NWA Tag Team Title Tournament that was appearing "live" two nights later on TBS, despite actually being taped four days earlier. Ugh.
A quick recap of the NWA Tag Title Tournament that no one seemed to want, with some of the more asinine booking that you'll see in your life...
Clash of the Champions XIX - "NWA Tag Team Title Tournament"
Quick Stats:
Date: June 16th, 1992.
*Shown: June 22nd, 1992.
Venue: Charleston, SC (McAlister Fieldhouse).
Attendance: 4,600 ($20,000 Gate)
Cable Rating: (2.8)
Behold, the NWA Tag Team Title Tournament. Quite possibly the biggest blunder in Clash of the Champions History. WCW had come to an agreement with the NWA to re-establish the NWA into WCW prominently. About a week later, Watts would change his mind, wanting absolutely nothing to do with NWA. This basically rendered the whole thing useless. The goal of the tournament was to set up a big money match between the Steiners and Gordy/Williams at the Great American Bash PPV, but things went a little wrong.
You see, whoever set up the brackets did so in a manor that would make one question just how high their blood alcohol content actually was. The seeding was strange, and the brackets were even stranger. A quick rundown of who competed in the tournament and what country (or continent) they represented.
- Dean and Joe Malenko: Europe
- Nikita Koloff and Ricky Steamboat: USA
- Tom Zenk and Marcus Bagwell: USA
- Rick Rude and Steve Austin: USA
- Larry and Jeff O'Day: Australia
- Terry Gordy and Steve Williams: Japan
- Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton: USA
- Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes: USA
- Miguel Perez and El Boricua (fictional): Puerto Rico
- The Silver Kings: Mexico
- The Freebirds: USA
- Brian Pillman and Jushin Liger: USA/Japan
- Chris Benoit and Beef Wellington: Canada
- The Head Hunters: South Africa
- Hiroshi Hase and Akira Nogami: Japan
- The Steiner Brothers: USA
Anyway, so everything was on track for an epic finals encounter between the Steiners and the Miracle Violence Connection, but OOPS(!!!) somebody set up the brackets wrong. Instead of meeting in the finals of the tournament in a big-money PPV match, the match was given away for free on live television (in a time in which that never happened) because of bracketing mistakes. Bill Watts had no choice but to sanction the match, using his trademark phrase...
"Let's Hook 'Em Up!"
The Steiners would be defeated by the Miracle Violence connection, who also nearly crippled the near 70 year old flabby Australian Larry O'Day in an earlier match.
Chris Benoit and Beef Wellington stole the show with their red-hot matchup with the team of Jushin Liger and Brian Pillman. Because the match was sanctioned by the NWA, Bill Watts top-rope rule was not in effect for the matchup, hence a exponentially more exciting matchup. After this match, the writing on the wall was clear, and it said that the top rope rule needed to go.
Lastly, WCW continued it's trend of offending the masses one sub-group at a time when Harley Race made derogatory comments about Ron Simmons to set up a Super Invader (Hercules Hernandez) feud with Simmons. Simmons was told by Race that, "A Negro like you should be carrying my bags." Lovely...
The Great American Bash 1992
Quick Stats:
Date: July 12th, 1992.
Venue: Albany, GA (Civic Center).
Attendance: 8,000 ($45,000 Gate)
PPV Buyrate: (0.4)
The Great American Bash 1992 would have been one of the poorest PPV's in company history had it not been for Sting-Vader. Sting's title defense against Vader was the only non-NWA title tournament match on the card. The rest of the card featured the semifinals and finals of the NWA tag team tournament. In other words, Bill Watts would use the rest of the card to further push the flat-out boring duo of Gordy and Williams. They would squash every team that they faced at the Bash, en route to winning the NWA World Tag Team Titles. In a ridiculously idiotic move, because the Miracle Violence Connection already had the WCW Tag Team Title belts, the belts were unified, thus negating the ENTER purpose of the long-winded tournament. Ugh (not to be confused with DonkeyLips or Budnik).
BUT, the show wasn't a complete disaster. Although Watts didn't even allow the World Title match to, you know, HEADLINE the show, Vader and Sting put on an INCREDIBLE match in the next-to-last contest of the evening. Absolutely amazing match. Lots of parallels have been drawn between this match and the recent Summerslam main event in which Brock Lesner got the better of the WWF's top babyface, The Rock. While the basic premise was the same (up-and-coming heel brutalizes company's top babyface for the title), the execution was much different. While Rock was made to look somewhat strong in his loss, Sting was just absolutely DESTROYED from corner to corner by Vader. Sting was beaten, bloodied, thrown around like a rag doll, put in his own finisher, and then finally powerbombed for the three-count and the WCW Championship. Sting was just flat out decimated. Guys like Triple H and Steve Austin could learn a thing or two from Sting. Sting had the ability to make or break opponents, and he MADE Vader in this match.
Clash of the Champions XX - "Twenty Years of Wrestling on TBS"
Quick Stats:
Date: September 2nd, 1992.
Venue: Atlanta, GA (Center Stage).
Attendance: 500 ($4,000 Gate)
Cable Rating: (3.7)
Clash of the Champions XX sticks out to me as one of the most memorable WCW broadcasts ever. The lineup was forgettable and the main event has long since been forgotten (Rick Rude, Jake Roberts, Vader, and Super Invader vs. Sting, Koloff, and the Steiners), but the true emotion that night is something that I'll never forget. The show took place at Atlanta's Center Stage Studios, the former home base of WCW. While the seating capacity was only around 495, the close to 500 fans that jammed Center Stage that night breathed, sweat, and lived WCW, as they had for years upon years. The show featured a couple of genuinely moving video packages on the history of the NWA/WCW on TBS (and WTBS), and opened up with a scene that I will never forget... The late Gordon Solie standing with the late Andre the Giant. This would be the final television appearance of both men before their deaths. Simply amazing. Nothing else I can say but amazing.
The only other note of interest on the show was a "fan poll." WCW became so certain that the top-rope rule was killing their fan base, that they squeezed a few more dollars out of it before forcing Watts to change it. During the main event of the broadcast, fans were given the choice to "vote" on discarding the top-rope DQ rule. Vote they did, in DROVES. Thousands of fans voted (at $5 a pop on the WCW Hotline) to get rid of the rule, and two weeks later it was done. WCW had some extra money in it's pockets and the fans were happy.
Halloween Havoc 1992 - "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal"

Date: October 25th, 1992.
Venue: Philadelphia, PA (Civic Center).
Attendance: 7,000 ($75,000 Gate)
PPV Buyrate: (0.9)
Halloween Havoc was AWFUL. There's no way to sugar-coat it, no way to soften the blow. This show sucked. Absolutely sucked. Terry Gordy, Bill Watt's golden boy, had been fired before the show for *gasp* wanting the money that he deserved, and Steve Austin was filled in to the Miracle Violence Connection to take his place. Three of the "big" matches for the PPV failed on absolutely every front. Rick Rude and Masahiro Chono followed up their ***** classic with one of the worst matched to ever take place on American soil. It really was that bad. The ending involved two or three referees, half Japanese, half American. The end result, the crowd was pissed that they had to waste half an hour on this, the belt still belonged to Rude, and absolutely nobody cared.
Up next was the World Title Match. Ron Simmons was fresh off of his victory for the title and was in desperate need of a credible challenger to be put over. Bill Watt's solution: The Barbarian. Yeah, that's right, the Barbarian. The man forever relegated to squashing Joe Wolfe on WWF Superstars was now fighting for the most coveted title in the business. The crowd HATED this. In fact, it might have been even more apathy than hatred, as not a single person in Philly made as much as one sound for the entirety of this matchup. Oh well, Simmons wins.
Now, it was time for the main event. After nearly three months of build, and a month solid of anticipation as to what the wheel would land on, the moment of truth was upon us. Sting gave the wheel a mighty spin as cheap pyros "popped." The whole scene looked more like The Price is Right meets white trash 4th of July than an actual wrestling match, but that's beside the point. The crowd buzzed as the gimmicked wheel slowed. The result..................................... Coal Miners Glove. Ouch. Bill Watts had filled the wheel with exciting, controversial matches like First Blood and Barbed Wire, and he gimmicked the wheel to land on the worst possible choice: The Coal Miners Glove Match. For those unfamiliar with the concept, I'll expand...
A normal wrestling match occurs, with the only exception being that a black glove is placed at ringside. If you can get the glove, you are free to slip it onto your fingers and pummel your opponent with this oven mitt of doom. Absolutely ridiculous.
The match was terrible, the crowd was angry, and the ending was possibly the worst Main Event ending in WCW history. Jake brought his snake out from under the ring and attempted to get it to bite Sting. Sting was savvy though. Sting put on the mitten from hell, grabbed the snake, and pushed it towards Jake. In theory, the king cobra was supposed to bite Jake's face ala Randy Savage, in actuality, the snake seemed about as interested as a puro fan watching the Chamber of Horrors match. Jake "improvised" by grabbing the cobra, pushing it onto his face while the snake just kind of grinned as if he knew that he was ruining WCW's October tradition, and then Jake fell over due to the pain and venom of the non-existent bite. Sting counted three, the people watching for free from their descrambler laughed, the people who paid cursed, and the Philly crowd nearly rioted.
Don't let the door hit you on the ass Snakeman...
Clash of the Champions XXI - "No Clever Subtitle :("
Quick Stats:
Date: November 18th, 1992.
Venue: Macon, GA (Macon Coliseum).
Attendance: 7,500 (Gate N/A)
Cable Rating: (3.2)
Clash XXI was a pretty forgettable show, as was the trend in WCW since early August, but it did have a couple of notes of interest.
- Erik Watts made Bobby Eaton submit with the worst STF in pro-wrestling history.
- Brian Pillman fully realizes an AWESOME heel turn at Clash XXI. Pillman had faked an injury and said he couldn't wrestle Brad Armstrong, and then when Armstrong made his way to the ring, Pillman destroyed the "Candyman" with his crutch and got the three count. Simply awesome, especially considering the fact that this was Pillman's first venture (I believe) into the world of heeldom.
- Scotty Flamingo (Raven) took on Johnny B. Badd in a "boxing match." Kevin Nash and DDP horsed around at ringside, which was much more entertaining than the actual match itself. To end the match, Nash and DDP filled Scotty Flamingo's boxing gloves with water. If you know ANYTHING about boxing, you know that soggy gloves are LETHAL. LETHAL I TELL YOU. Badd fell down for the ten count and the match came to an end.
- Too Cold Scorpio made his official national television debut, popping up as the mystery partner of Ron Simmons and shocking the world with his 480 splash, the likes of which had never been seen on a national level in the States before.
- Sting and Rick Rude wrestling to a draw in the utterly meaningless "King of Cable" tournament. A good match regardless though.
- Finally, Barry Windham pulled an amazing heel turn during the night's main event. Dustin Rhodes and Barry Windham were wrestling Shane Douglas and Ricky Steamboat in a face vs. face tag team title match. The match itself was excellent. About twenty minutes into the match, Ricky Steamboat got inadvertently hit in the groin by Dustin Rhodes. Rhodes backed off and gave Steamboat time to recover, being the good babyface that he is. Windham began SCREAMING at Rhodes to capitalize on the injury. Rhodes refused so Barry tagged himself in, repeatedly atomic dropped Steamboat. Unfortunately, the crowd sided firmly behind Barry Windham, booing Dustin for not getting involved and cheering Windham for attacking the injured Steamboat. Barry and Dustin would lose the match, and after the bell rang, Windham lured Rhodes back into the ring for one more cheap shot and a stiff DDT, much to the delight of the usually markish Georgia crowd.
Starrcade 1992 - "Battle Bowl/ The Lethal Lottery"
Quick Stats:
Date: December 28th, 1992.
Venue: Atlanta, GA (The Omni).
Attendance: 8,000 ($70,000 Gate)
PPV Buyrate: (0.5)
Two matches headlined Starrcade in addition to the Lethal Lottery. First, Sting would finally get his chance to gain a measure of revenge on Vader after being DESTROYED by him six months earlier. This match had legitimate interest, despite barely recieving any hype from Watty.
The second big match was a WCW World Title Match between champion Ron Simmons and challenger Rick Rude. The WCW fanbase was really looking forward to this one, in hopes that Rick Rude might finally capture the World Championship Title that he'd long been chasing.
Now we all know what happens when fans really anticipate a match in WCW... it doesn't happen. True to form, Rude couldn't compete at Starrcade, which we were lucky enough to find out after we'd $ordered$ the show. His replacement ??? Watts Goldenboy Steve "Dr. Death" Williams. The match lasted all of ten minutes, with not one high-impact move. The ending for the title match at the biggest PPV of the year for WCW: A double count-out, with no blowoff or rematch ever to occur :)
Sting and Vader fought their usual classic, this time for the "King of Cable" championship. While the distinction was good for nothing, I'm sure it looks good on a resume or something, who knows. The match was stiff, brutal, and Sting went over.
As for BattleBowl, Muta won for no conceivable reason. Why not push one of your OWN wrestlers, instead of a foreigner who will probably step foot in your American ring twice in the next two years. Makes PERFECT sense.
As you can tell, I'm starting to get really tired of trying to spin anything positive out of the second half of the year in WCW, so we'll just end Starrcade here and say that it was tied with the previous year's show for the poorest outting in Starrcade history.

Victoria Vigilanti Named ECAC Rookie And Goaltender Of The YearHAMDEN, Conn. - Freshman goaltender Victoria Vigilanti (Woodbridge, Ontario) of the Quinnipiac University women's ice hockey team has earned two conference postseason awards as she was named the 2009-10 ECAC Women's Ice Hockey Goaltender of the Year and the ECAC Rookie of the Year this afternoon. Vigilanti is the first Quinnipiac student-athlete to earn either award in ECAC Hockey and is the first to win a major-league award in the women's ice hockey program history.
Overall, Vigilanti finished atop three of the four major goaltending categories, ranking first in save percentage (.951), goals against average (1.23) and saves (901). The rookie also topped the league in conference save percentage as she posted a .957 in ECAC action. She ranked behind Clarkson junior Lauren Dahm in goals against average in conference play, recording a 1.15 mark behind Dahm's 1.08. Vigilanti started 36 of the Bobcats' 37 games this season between the pipes, and started all 22 conference games. She concluded the season ranking second in conference (1301) and total (2241) minutes. Vigilanti was the most decorated player in weekly awards in the ECAC this season, as she earned seven weekly awards on the year.
Vigilanti's statistics in net dominated the leaderboards all season long, including rankings on a national level. The rookie netminder finished the 2009-10 season ranked second nationally in goals against average and save percentage, just a few points behind fellow freshman Noora Raty of the University of Minnesota. Vigilanti's strong play in net helped the Bobcats earn national status as well, earning votes in the USCHO.com and USA Today polls for six consecutive weeks before ranking tenth in the USCHO.com poll this week. Her efforts anchored the Quinnipiac defense that ranked first amongst the entire country in Scoring Defense, allowing just 1.38 goals per game.
Vigilanti is already making a name for herself in the Quinnipiac and ECAC record books, as the numbers from her inaugural season are amongst the best-ever in both arenas. In the ECAC, the rookie ranks second all-time in season save percentage with the .951 mark. She also finishes ranked third in season saves with 901, and finishes sixth in the conference season goals against average with 1.23. In the Quinnipiac record books, Vigilanti finishes her rookie season atop all but one season-record list. The Ontario-native currently holds the Quinnipiac record in season save percentage, goals against average, wins (18), conference wins (11), and shutouts (5). She finishes second in the all-time record books in season saves behind Mel Courtemanche '03 who recorded 986 saves in 2001-02.
Also nominated for the Goaltender of the Year award was Clarkson junior Lauren Dahm and Cornell sophomore Amanda Mazzotta. The nominees for the Rookie of the Year award was Cornell defenseman Laura Fortino and Harvard forward Jillian Dempsey.

TRENTON, Ga. — Without calling any witnesses or presenting any evidence, attorneys for a 19-year-old man on trial for murder rested their case Thursday afternoon.
When Johnathan Ellison's defense attorney Steven Miller was asked after court why he chose not to call any witnesses, he said that today's closing statements will speak for themselves. Ellison's co-counsel is Chris Connelly.
The state rested its case Thursday afternoon, and the defense announcement followed just minutes later.
Ellison is on trial on two counts of felony murder and one count each of malice murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery in the death of Antwane Hyatte, 35, of Chattanooga. Hyatte was stabbed 16 times during a drug deal at Ellison's home in March, police said.
Co-defendant James Oglesby, 27, is facing the same charges. His trial is set for next year.
The state's case ended after two lead investigators spent most of the day on the stand. They testified that Ellison continually had changed his story during two interviews with police.
Prosecutors played for the jury 2 1/2 hours of Ellison's second recorded interview, conducted on March 21, four days after his arrest. Earlier in the trial, they saw video of his first interview, which showed Ellison keeping his head down and speaking in whispers.
In the second interview, Ellison acted drastically differently, speaking loudly and looking investigators in the eyes.
In both interviews, Ellison said Hyatte came to his house to sell marijuana to him and Oglesby.
In the first interview, recorded only hours after his arrest, Ellison told investigators he stabbed Hyatte a few times in the stomach because Hyatte had pulled a gun and tried to rob him.
But after investigators searched for hours for a gun in the spot Ellison led them to, he admitted he had made up the story, several authorities testified.
Ellison insisted throughout the second interview that he saw Oglesby stab Hyatte over and over again.
Two bloody knives were found in the living room of Ellison's house. In the second interview, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent James Harris said that it was ridiculous to believe Oglesby first stabbed Hyatte with a knife from Ellison's kitchen, then took another knife from his own pocket to continue stabbing.
But Ellison insisted he never hit or stabbed Hyatte throughout the bloody fight.
"I never stabbed him. He was my friend," Ellison told Harris.
Harris told Ellison that Oglesby blamed Ellison for the stabbing in an interview.
When investigators asked why Ellison didn't report the crime to police, he said Oglesby had threatened him.
Ellison told investigators that Oglesby had said, "You're going with me or I'll kill your whole family."

Guest Update by Dr. Sanya Springfield
Disparities Summit Offers Real Answers to Real Problems
During major meetings and conferences, it's easy to find ourselves caught up in the moment. Amid supportive colleagues, dramatic presentations, and positive pronouncements, we embrace the spirit of the gathering and find a wellspring of enthusiasm and energy for tackling the challenges that lie ahead. But the real test is what happens when the meeting is over. Will we keep our commitment and resolve when we return home and are faced with the realities that can sap that enthusiasm and energy?
If what happened here last week at the Cancer Health Disparities Summit is any indication, I don't think we have to worry about losing our momentum on this issue. I'm convinced that we're on course to reduce and eventually eliminate cancer health disparities - and our determination is stronger than ever.
The summit, sponsored by NCI and the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) of the National Institutes of Health, was something special. I believe the meeting ignited a fire to intensify our efforts going forward. I also think it sharpened our focus about what we need to do and how to do it and - most importantly - helped solidify our efforts by bringing us together to discuss commonalities and shared experiences.
More than 700 participants from as far away as American Samoa attended the summit. We also reached a broader audience through national minority media outlets, which interviewed summit representatives throughout the week.
There were many positive developments from the summit, but three things stood out in particular:
First, the meeting focused on questions and answers. The goal was to develop answers to questions such as, What can we do better? Where are the research gaps? How do we enhance existing programs and resources? How can we apply what we know about cancer overall to cancer disparities research? These are just some of the questions we attempted to explore last week at the summit.
Second, I was gratified by NCI's level of participation. From NCI Acting Director Dr. John Niederhuber to division heads to senior researchers, NCI staff presented information and made themselves available for questions. In describing an expanded research role for the NCI-designated Cancer Centers, Dr. Niederhuber helped the cancer disparities research community see new opportunities to investigate new aspects of cancer health disparities. Dr. Niederhuber is right: We are working to deal with disparities issues at a time when there have never been more opportunities to attack cancer. The pace of discovery makes this a promising time as well as a challenging one.
Finally, I was encouraged by the collaboration that was evident during the summit. Our partnership with NCMHD helped us reach a new milestone in our intra-NIH collaboration on cancer disparities. The partnership mirrored the prevailing attitude among summit participants to cooperate across the issues, regions, and cultures to share ideas, strategies, and resources.
We're eager to begin planning for next year's summit and can't wait to put our plans and ideas for the coming year into action. The formal report of the summit will be posted soon on our Web site: http://crchd.nci.nih.gov/. So many opportunities are within reach. We simply need to reach out and grab hold of them.

Imperial Vintner Wine
on Hudson Street between W11th and Bank Streets in the West Village
Riverside Liquor
(in the Upper West Side on Broadway between 105th and 106th Streets)
I've got a couple of posts I'm hoping to have time to get to this weekend, but first I'd like to say thanks to Lisa Hix, for the Project Neon interview she's written for Collectors Weekly. Thank you, Lisa, for making me sound vaguely coherent!
The photo above from Riverside Liquor on Broadway is one of my favorites (as you may have guessed from its inclusion in the Limited Edition Prints). When I stopped by for a visit last weekend, though, the sign was looking a little the worse for wear:
It's still a great sign, but I do hope it gets repaired soon. Speaking of repairs, I also stopped by Murray's Sturgeon Shop, hoping that the removal of the scaffolding from the building meant they had maybe fixed their neon. Alas, no luck.
Riverside is a small liquor shop with an indecipherable (at least to me) cataloguing system. You're best off asking for help, which was what I ended up doing. I was buying some blended scotch to try scotch & soda — believe it or not, I've never had it! — as part of a new project of mine, A Culinary Companion. (It's a writing project, not a pictures project, about food & literature.) I was surprised to find both scotch & soda and brandy & soda very pleasant. Not as forceful and warming as the straight up liquors, but neither were they just watered down nothings. More just a gentler form of drink, refreshing with the bubbles. A pleasant accompaniment to a lazy afternoon.
Anyway, the staff at Riverside were friendly and helpful, and there was a steady parade of patrons from all walks of life. The sign is a bright spot on broadway, with the classic mazey infill that I love. I've said before that pink isn't one of my favorite colors (I guess I'm not a very girly girl), but pink neon is just fantastic.
OK, I'll be back later this weekend with more neon news, links, and photos. See you then!
Queens Wines & Liquors
(71st Avenue @ Myrtle & Forest)
I finally made it back to Queens Wines & Liquors this evening—third time's the charm! I'd been once before to see the lights (what a great sign!) earlier this winter, but the next couple of times I went out to Ridgewood, Queens I somehow go the hours wrong. The sign's so long (and with a small bonus Liquor & arrow up high) that it's hard to make a photograph that really captures the brightness and glow, so I was eager to return, zoom lens in hand.
Behind the sign is a great liquor store, with a vast selection. I wanted something summery, and debated for awhile over St. Germain or Lillet, but in the end went with Pimm's. I'm drinking some over ice in a little Turkish teacup now.
I'm not a huge cocktail drinker (I usually stick with beer) but a nice summer cocktail is a lovely thing (and summertime neon expeditions are a bit limited since so many things close early—and the trees are in leaf—but the days are getting shorter…) I'm sure I'll be visiting several more bars & liquor stores before the summer is over! I had no I idea when I started this project that one side benefit would be an expanded liquor shelf.
In other Project Neon news, the iPhone app is proceeding apace, I'm working on fulfilling Kickstarter rewards (I just sent some more out and have a small pile here to send out this weekend), and I've added a little Shop page to the blog (though the shop actually lives over on Equals Architecture, one of my other web sites, so I can have a little more control over the layout than here on Tumblr). The shop is more of a test run for now than a proper online store, as I need to finish Kickstarter rewards before I can fulfill any orders, but when I've cleared the decks a bit I'll expand it and get it all ship shape. (You're welcome to buy photos & posters from it now, but orders will be put in queue behind the Kickstarter rewards.)
Casa Oliveira
(7th Avenue South btwn Grove & Bleecker Streets)
Casa Oliveira is a swell wine & liquor shop in the West Village. It was a bit of an old home week to stop by there last night, since I used to work nearby and would pop in whenever I needed some booze. I made the trip back, as I have a bunch of cherries at home and, together with the new cherry pitter I picked up at the Brooklyn Kitchen, I'm all ready to make brandied cherries (and maybe cherry ice cream with a hint of brandy as well?), except for an utter lack of brandy at Project Neon headquarters.
I was so very happy to see the sign not just in working order (last time I was there the Casa Olivera was out), but brighter than ever. I love this sign not only for the animation ("Liquors" alternates with "Fine Wines"), for the sidewalk sign with the great address number (also shown above), but also for the lovely patina of the red and white painted backdrop of the swing sign and the enameled backdrop of the facade sign. So beautiful. I do wish the sidewalk sign had outlined instead of single-stroke letters, but that's a quibble. The overall effect, especially when the sign is as bright as it was last night, is splendid. (If you can't see the animation, click the box below.)
The people at Casa Oliveira have always been gracious and helpful, too. It's a small shop, but I've always found what I wanted.
It was nice to see a sign in working order, especially after hearing about the remnants of Jade Mountain (the iconic Chow Mein sign has been removed, and part of the remains of the channel letters crushed) and finding that Morscher's Pork Store in Ridgewood has replaced their wonderful neon with a tacky plastic sign. I am really heartbroken about both of those. But happily there are still places like Casa Oliveira, who are willing to maintain beautiful signs like this one.

Yamaha's designers had one problem with superceding its 2006-07 R6, and that was how to improve a motorcycle that was very good in the first place. But improve it they have with clever attention to details borne from its World Supersport racing program. A designer's touch here and the same effort there, has led to the Yamaha R6 being the ...
599cc, 108bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 14
Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.
599cc, 108bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
For a supersports machine that's as easy to ride to the shops as it is round Donington Park the 2005 Yamaha YZF-R6 comes close to spot-on. Launched as a rearguard action while the factory prepared their dinky, ride-by-wire '06 hottie, this older version of the Yamaha YZF-R6 still comes with toys like radial brakes and is seriously underrated.
