College life has me too busy to post anything.
So to all my die hard dA Friends (dragonhedgehog) I miss you :'D
History of a HeartI looked at her looking away and I said,History of a Heart by lupusbellum
"If I only here one thing from you let it be that I am the only one you'll ever need,"
She turned her back and said,
"Don't you know by now I can't ever tell you that?
This life is too short for you and I,
So please forgive me if I don't drop it for you,
If you ever cared you wouldn't ask again,"
"How can you say that when we are so close?
I think about you always and I am always here,
Whenever you've needed me so you know I care,
It wouldn't be much different from now but,
For a stronger bond and a different title!"
"And if it doesn't work out what then?
I don't want to lose you as a friend and,
Every one of my relationships has ended badly so,
I am not ready to take that chance,
I'm sorry,"
"You are already losing me,
Pieces by day my heart is fading,
Please I need you in my life can't you see,
You are the one I really
Road? River? Does it matter?Every twist and turn in the road,Road? River? Does it matter? by lupusbellum
Branching and joining again,
Or perhaps the metaphor best serves as a river?
Splitting and meeting again,
Fate, it seems, to care little for metaphor,
Only for her own endeavors,
But today I do not curse her,
For the road that meets mine.
Pinocchio had it rightThe ground beneath my feet,Pinocchio had it right by lupusbellum
Like dust or maybe ashes,
Feels like a breaking pane of glass,
And all the world is silent.
I look down and watch it all fall away,
But the isn't dropping,
It seems I am ascending,
Time to start the play.
Watch me laugh,
Watch me dance,
Take a stab at dramatic romance,
Lead by script plain to read in the back.
Every jerk of my guiding strings,
Feels like razors in my flesh,
And compassion is all but dead,
From a heartless puppet master.
As the crowd looks on and laughs,
At the scenes and the masques,
I carefully grasp my escape,
Clutched in my palm yet again.
I slash at my guidelines,
As if they were a noose,
And the crowd laughs away at my foolishness,
And the puppet master laughs away at my attempts.
I'm just a puppet after all,
No feeling or free will,
Just the guiding of a marionette,
To make me think I am real.
Have not a hopeThink not of these words that I write,Have not a hope by lupusbellum
Or as you read that which I type,
Breathe not a solemn whisper into the night,
Of this text that is inscribed with anything but delight,
See not the meaning of these lines,
As they are engraved deep with my tines,
Hear not the voices in the mind,
That spins webs of thoughts too small to find,
Feel not the touch of honeyed lies,
Covering your skin to attract the flies,
Know not the meaning of this sight,
Take to the winds to flee here like wings to flight.
|I write because I cannot draw well. Though my writing is not much good either, I still enjoy getting my mind out on paper (imaginery computer/ internet paper). I like anime, manga, swords, and cats. If you burn with the desire to know more, I suggest noting me about it.

Endorsement scorecard: Ranking Minneapolis's wannabe mayors by support
Headshots courtesy of the candidates
The race is on for outgoing Mayor R.T. Rybak's office. Facing a crowded field of candidates, the six leading mayoral contenders are relying on a key measure to help them stand out from the pack: Who they can get to endorse them.
See Also:
- Who's in the race? A guide to the six candidates for Minneapolis mayor
- Minnesota brewing through the eyes of Minneapolis mayoral candidates
The prize of this race-within-the-race will come at the Minneapolis DFL's convention tomorrow, June 15, where five of the six main candidates are gunning for the party's endorsement.
Well, the prize might come. The convention could well end in a draw, with no endorsement. That's because, in order to walk away with party support, a candidate has to win 60 percent of delegates' votes. That's a high bar to clear -- especially when you factor in the inverse, which is that any candidate with more than 40 percent of delegates can block an endorsement.
Heading into Saturday, each of the candidates has rounded up high-profile groups of supporters to stand in their corners. Here's the current rundown of who's endorsing who for mayor of Minneapolis, ranked by which candidate has the most support from public figures and groups. For tallying purposes, we left off business owners and most supporters who are no longer in the public eye.
We'll update this post as the election season continues.
Update June 17: The DFL convention ended with no endorsement, after delegates narrowed the field to Andrew and Hodges.
Mark Andrew
5 6 9 11: The Minneapolis Building Trades Council endorsed Andrew early on, as did the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers -- Local 292, and the Teamsters Joint Council 32. Andrew has also gotten endorsements from two of the DFL's constituent caucuses, the GLBT-focused Stonewall DFL and the Minnesota Young DFL.
Update June 20: After switching its support from Schiff to Andrew at the Minneapolis DFL Convention, on June 20, the Minneapolis Firefighters Union Local 82 formally endorses Andrew.
Update July 1: Unite Here! Local 17, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College Democrats, and the United Transportation Union all back Andrew.
Update July 31: The Operating Engineers Local 49 endorses Andrew, citing his commitment to job creation.
Update August 14: The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, the AFL-CIO umbrella organization that includes 125 affiliated unions and 70,000 members, calls Andrew a "longtime friend of Labor" as it gave him its endorsement.
14 16 17 23 24: Ambassador to Morocco Sam Kaplan and his wife, Sylvia, endorse Andrew, as does Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, and former Speaker of the Minnesota House Margaret Anderson Kelliher. Add to that list two state representatives -- Jim Davnie and Phyllis Kahn -- along with Hennepin County Board Member (and former mayoral candidate himself) Peter McLaughlin. Andrew has additional support from four members of the school board and three members of the parks board.
Update June 14: Gov. Mark Dayton's Chief of Staff Tina Smith and Hennepin Theatre Trust President Tom Hoch have joined Andrew's supporters. Both Smith and Hoch were previously mulling over (or rumored to be mulling over) entering the race themselves.
Update June 18: Following a Minneapolis DFL Convention that ended in no endorsement, but in which Andrew led on every ballot, Fourth District Congresswoman Betty McCollum throws her support behind Andrew. In a statement announcing the endorsement, McCollum called him a "principled progressive" and "among the most innovative and entrepreneurial leaders I have ever met."
Update July 1: Minnesota officials Sen. Jeff Hayden and Rep. Diane Loeffler endorse Andrew.
Update July 8: State Sen. Kari Dziedzic, as well as School Board Vice Chair Jenny Arneson, add their support.
Update July 10: Community activist Mohamud Noor, a former co-chair for Gary Schiff's campaign, adds his endorsement to Andrew's tally.
Update July 15: Vice President Walter Mondale joins the Andrew campaign as an honorary co-chair.
Update August 12: Mayoral candidate Jim Thomas, a public school teacher, dropsout of the race to endorse Andrew instead.
Betsy Hodges
5 8: Hodges snagged the SEIU Minnesota State Council endorsement, which includes local unions 26, 284, and 63, as well as SEIU Healthcare Minnesota. She also has backing from the Sierra Club North Star Chapter, the organization womenwinning, and two of the DFL's constituent caucuses: the African-American Caucus (split with Jackie Cherryhomes) and the Latino Caucus.
Update July 19: MAIDA, the Minnesota Asian Indian Democratic Association, cites Hodges's track record of fiscal responsibility as a reason behind its endorsement.
Update July 30: TakeAction Minnesota votes to endorse Hodges, in part, according to a statement from the organization's executive director, because of her commitment to closing the city's racial gaps.
Update August 20: EMILY's List, a national political action committee that supports pro-choice, Democratic women in politics, gives Hodges its backing as part of its "Year of the Woman Mayor."
9 10 12: Notable supporters include four from the Minnesota Legislature: Sen. Scott Dibble, plus representatives Frank Hornstein, Susan Allen, and Jean Wagensius. Hodges also has support from St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and fellow City Council Member John Quincy (Ward 11), as well as from civil rights leader Dr. Josie Johnson, Hennepin County Commissioner Gail Dorfman, and Park Board Commissioner Brad Bourn.
Update June 19: After officially bowing out of the mayoral race, Gary Schiff gave Hodges his support.
Update July 17: Hodges's list of endorsements now includes Minnesota Rep. John Lesch, and Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. Not included in our tally are several local business owners, like Kim Bartmann of Bryant-Lake Bowl and other restaurants, who formerly endorsed Schiff.
Gary Schiff Update: On June 19, Schiff ended his campaign.
Groups: 5: The Minneapolis Firefighters Local 82 Union was the first to endorse Schiff. They've since been joined by the International Association of Fire Fighters Local S-6, the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, and the Minnesota Daily Editorial Board. Schiff also has the nod from one DFL constituent caucus, the Minnesota Asian Indian Democratic Association (MAIDA).
People: 4: Schiff's celebrity endorsement comes courtesy of former Vikings punter and outspoken supporter of marriage equality Chris Kluwe. He also has support from Little Earth head Bill Ziegler, state Rep. Karen Clark, and Anne Schultz, who runs the Linden Hills Business Association. Not included in our count are the 150 small business owners throughout the city who endorse Schiff, including Tracy Singleton of the Birchwood Cafe and Kim Bartmann of Bryant-Lake Bowl, as well as the president and vice president of the Minneapolis Taxi Cab Drivers and Owners Association.
Jackie Cherryhomes
Groups: 1: Cherryhomes split the endorsement of the DFL's African-American Caucus with Betsy Hodges
People: 4: Cherryhomes has support from Hennepin County Commissioner Linda Higgins, Minneapolis Park Board Commissioner Jon Olson, state Sen. Bobby Joe Champion, and former Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton.
Cam Winton
Groups: 0:
Winton is the only candidate not seeking DFL endorsement, and instead running as an independent. He argues that the endorsements game of seeking support from currently elected officials "perpetuates the very insider-heavy system to which I'm trying to bring fresh eyes."
2 3: Winton's supporters so far include campaign treasurer Ashwin Madia and Bob Ulrich, former CEO of Target.
Update July 17: Ben Whitney, former U.S. Ambassador to Norway, also endorses Winton, as do several area lawyers, like Julia Dayton Klein, who are not included in our tally.
Don Samuels
Groups: 0.
People: 2: Samuels's campaign is chaired by recently retired Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan, and he also has support from Velma Korbel, the director of Minneapolis Civil Rights Department. Not included in our count are several local business owners and activists who also endorse Samuels, including Zang Vang, the executive director of the Hmong American Mutual Assistance Association, and Josh Thoma, the owner of Smack Shack.

I just pre-ordered this game, but now after thinking about it im scared that the story wont make sense to me or ill be confused due to all the past splinter cell games I never played. Will this one be following the story of the past ones? Will I still get an enjoyable experience playing this one not knowing the past stories?

Good News for Moviegoers
So after my post a few weeks ago about how Landmark Theaters had discontinued their discount cards (5 movies for $30) they have brought them back. Although I would like to take credit for blowing the scandal wide open, I'm not sure it was all my doing. The guy at the ticket window told me, "Nobody was happy with that situation."

Hey folks,
I need a little bit of coding help. I am trying to create several different widgets that will be packaged in a series of themes I am developing. Seems simple enough right?
What I am looking for is a code example that I can copy and paste as needed and only change the part where it does stuff.
Your help and input are greatly appreciated.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Sixteen months after Marvel NOW! began, bringing with it new creative teams, new directions, new reboots of recently rebooted titles and new titles, the publisher is launching a new initiative. Marvel NOW! has become Marvel then, and the new NOW! is the All-New Marvel NOW!, which brings with it new creative teams, new directions, new reboots of recently rebooted titles, new titles and so on.
Not all of the NOW! titles are making the transition into the All-New NOW!, of course, and many of those that aren't are instead concluding (rather than being canceled), apparently having been designed from the start to only last a certain length of time, and these conclusions are taking big, pulpy chunks out of my pull-list.
This week Marvel shipped the last issue of my favorite NOW book: FF. Originally written by Matt Fraction, drawn by Mike Allred, colored by Laura Allred and, toward the end of its 15-issue run, scripted by Lee Allred from Fraction's plotting, it might not have been the best title Marvel is publishing (that's probably still Hawkeye), but it was certainly the most fun for the entire length of its short, bright life.
Fraction followed Jonathan Hickman on Fantastic Four, and thus inherited the new, Hickman-created two-book status quo: Fantastic Four, featuring the adventures of the original Marvel superhero team, and FF, devoted to the Future Foundation school for young geniuses that Reed Richards established. Under Fraction, Richards took his team and his two biological children on a trip through time and space, seeking a cure for what appeared to be a chronic condition that baffled even him, in the pages of Fantastic Four, drawn in a more modern Marvel style by Mark Bagley.
And in FF, the Four recruited their own replacements for a temporary, stand-in superhero team/faculty — Ant-Man Scott Lang, She-Hulk, Medusa and Johnny Storm's pop -star girlfriend Darla Deering — to run the school and care for the kids in their stead. (And it was awesome.)
The two titles intersected in sometimes-unexpected ways — the F4 traveled back in time and met an alien posing as Julius Caesar, for example, and then, in the present, Caesar remembers the solid the original team did him, and he reaches out to the Future Foundation to help them — and necessarily had to be rather tightly plotted, beginning and ending simultaneously.
Fantastic Four was a solid, competently created book, but also a rather rote one, with Fraction seemingly writing what he thought a Fantastic Four book should be like, and Bagley drawing as he usually draws, but with nothing really passionate occurring. FF, on the other hand, featured the bright, clean, crisp, flat, decidedly old-school-looking art of Mike Allred, who draws some of the best versions of many Marvel characters since their creator Jack Kirby, in large part because he learned from and is trying to imitate Kirby's designs.
The last time Marvel employed Allred's talents at great length, it was during their millennial X-Men line shake-up, in which Allred was paired with writer Peter Milligan on X-Force, a deliberately subversive X-Men comic (and one that eventually changed its name to X-Statix, having thoroughly irritated plenty of X-fans by then).
In FF, his art's application was more celebratory than subversive, and Fraction seemed to be going out of his way to give his collaborator the opportunity to draw whatever the hell he wanted, not just the core cast of heroes (and the new costumes Allred designed for them), but all the Fantastic Four trappings that could be squeezed in: giant Kirby monsters, Mole Man, Wyatt Wingfoot, Inhumans galore, The Impossible Man (and his Impossible son Adolph), Blastaar, The Wizard, Annihilus and so on. Allred draws himself, Matt Fraction and Tom Brevoort and a tiger in the 10th issue, mainly for a series of jokes but, just as likely, because he really wanted to draw a tiger (and the man draws an awesome tiger). In this final issue, Silver Surfer drops by for no real reason, other than to perhaps let readers know Allred draws a mean Silver Surfer, as he'll get the chance to do on a monthly basis when he and writer Dan Slott launch an All-New Marvel NOW! Surfer title.
In places, the book read an awful lot like a Fantastic Four version of Jason Aaron's Wolverine and The X-Men, with the zany school full of fantastic super-kids , and yet balanced all of its humor with some pretty stark drama, most of which came from interpersonal conflicts. In that respect, FF was also a bit like Fraction's Hawkeye: It was a funny book that was being told straight.
Looking back from the ending, Fraction's plotting is even more remarkable. The third issue ends with Lang declaring his intention to eliminate Dr. Doom once and for all, and the 16th issue features Lang vs. Doom in a climactic battle that does just that. Various threads and subplots ran throughout the series, but consistent through them all was that Ant-Man wanted to take on and utterly defeat and humiliate Doom in a way Reed Richards never would and, in fact, never could — and that's eventually just what happens (the battle eventually takes about two issues of planning, and two issues of execution).
Also remarkable is that the book told one big, 16-issue story, with no real starting and stopping. It wasn't exactly written for the trade, but rather as a whole. So too was Young Avengers, another of the better-looking, better-written NOW! books, which makes me wonder to what extent Marvel had its NOW! launches plotted as "seasons" of 16 issues or so that, if popular, could then be rebooted to follow new, similarly sized story arcs (a la Wolverine or the Hulk comic, which are getting new #1s and slightly different directions, but keeping their creative teams), or simply end as if they were only meant to last so long. Certainly in neither FF nor Young Avengers are there any loose ends hinting at unfinished business on the part of any of the creators.
After the 20-page climax of the series, the 16th and final issue ends with a 10-page story co-written by Lee Allred and Karl Kesel (who took over scripting for Fraction on Fantastic Four) and penciled by Joe Quinones (but inked by Mike Allred and colored by Laura Allred, so that it looks about as Allred-esqe as possible without Mike Allred penciling himself). That features the Fantastic Four joining the Future Foundation and their many allies on the moon for a celebratory cookout that serves as an epilogue to the 15 issues before it and offers possibilities for the future, up to and including the resurrection of Cassandra "Stature" Lang, Ant-Man's deceased daughter ("We could always dig up Cassie and check," Bentley-23, the clone of supervillain genius The Wizard, says when several of the little geniuses have a realization regarding Pym particles).
And it ends with a neat, two-page spread of a group photo, featuring all of the heroes and supporting characters to have appeared throughout the series, right down to Willie Lumpkin, Cargo Manshark, Tom Brevoort and the Allreds. Even Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the latter looking a little irritated to be in the presence of his Fantastic Four co-creator and dressed in a top hat and tux, as if he were on his way to Reed and Sue's wedding.
FF was a great book, and, if you haven't read it yet, Uatu.
Enjoyed that. Thanks, Caleb.
I read a few issues of a friend's collection early on, and it was hit or miss for me. However, if they collect it all in one trade, I'd spring for it.
My favorite title since Hickman started it, and his and the Fraction/Allred run were super different, but I love them both. I hope Robinson keeps using the kids, or maybe someone decides to give Vol 3 a go. Off the top of my head – see if Louise Simonson wants to come back and write some Marvel kids again ( and maybe bring Katie and Jack Power into the fold), or maybe Kathryn Immonen (if I recall she wrote some Earth and Asgardian kids in her JiM run).
Even if it doesn't come back, I will enjoy re-reading this run every once in awhile.
Actually, I've heard it said that Jack Kirby's Fourth World was designed to be a finite length story precisely becaused he believed the future of comics was to sell book-sized compilations at book stores, rather than the monthly grind of the newsstand.
So the short, single story arc of FF is also Kirby-esque in its architecture.
loved this book so much.
Could read it for a decade.
And this appreciation, spot on.
Even though I have all the individual issues, I'd consider buying a nice hardcover of it.
A wonderful comic that I'll miss a lot.
But Marvel's made a serious, damaging problem with the trade paperbacks: The first book, "FF Volume 1, Fantastic Faux" contains issues FF #4-8. In other words, the "first" volume omits the first issues.
Apparently issues #1-3 are contained in the "Fantastic Four" trade. I didn't particularly care for Bagley's artwork on F4 and I had no intention of picking up the F4 trade, but if I want the full FF story, I guess I'm out of luck.
I hope that Marvel releases a nice fat hardcover containing all 16 FF issues.
I hope that Marvel releases a nice fat hardcover containing all 16 FF issues.
Yeah, I hope so too.
This title never really took off with the sale and even slipped off the top 100 several issues back.
I thought the last issue was marred with an ugly, petty bit of meta commentary where writer Lee Allred (story is only credited to Fraction) has Scott Lang say he's had the misfortune of meeting people who think Doom is layered, nuanced and deep. So I guess he is slamming writers like Roger Stern, Gerry Conway, Roy Thomas and any fan who's ever read Emperor Doom, Triumph and Torment, etc.
Doom is no Nobel Peace Price winner but IMO he wouldn't have been as enduring a character over the years if he were a cardboard, moustache twirling villain.
All I have to say is…
WTF is up with that She-Thing with a human head?
That's Darla Deering, the Katy Perry -like character introduced as Johnny's girl friend who is now two timing him with Scott Lang. She made a rather useless addition to the team running around in an old Thing suit Reed created during one of those times when Ben reverted back to his human form.
It is tough to to say wether or not it was the BEST book Marvel was publishing, but it was my favorite book by any publisher and it will hold a special place in my heart for a long time. Great great series.
I have been reading Fantastic Four since the late sixties, and have been a die hard fan ever since. I concur that FF, the companion book, was one of the best versions of the Fantastic Four I've read in a very long time. The battle between Doom and Scott was epic, and was meaningful as it had a several issue build=up, so that it was not just a rushed ending. The the little touches (Scott crushing Doom's hands as a call back to Battle of the Baxter Building in FF # 40) warmed this old geek's heart. I hope future creators carry on the characterization of Doom that ended this issue.
The ten page epilogue nearly brought a tear to my eye. I loved how it was told from the Future Foundation's point of view, with significant differences from the similar epilogue in the main Fantastic Four # 16 book. A beautiful run.
I'll miss this book, especially Darla Deering. She was my favourite!
I have never read a single issue of FF, but I always thought that Allred's art was really fun. I might consider picking it up a collection of the entire series.
Sounds great, will try to pick this up some time.
For those complaining about the first two issues of FF being collected in the Fantastic Four trade, you really do need to read at least the first two issues of Fantastic Four in order to put FF in context. It sets up the series' concept, introduces Darla Deering, features Reed asking Scott to take over the FF, etc. Definitely worth getting.
Doctor Doom skinned the love of his life to make a suit of armor. I am glad that Scott Lang called out Dr.Doom as a sociopath.
I don't think it negates the nuance of characterization of Roger Stern, Gerry Conway, or Roy Thomas. He can still be read as a complex character with nuanced motivations. However, from the POV of Scott Lang, his accuser, that stuff doesn't matter because when it comes down to it, Doctor Doom murdered his daughter without remorse or any other future consideration because she didn't factor into his personal plans. It felt a bit like bullying but I did enjoy Lang's verbal dismantling of all the lies Dr.Doom tells himself so that he can continue to think that he's the true hero of civilization whereas the FF, Avengers, etc. are the villains for interfering with his plans. . Lang isn't a psychologist so his diagnosis has no real weight and Doom's reaction to the imagined death at the end counters Lang's argument. Would Doom be so devastated if he truly were a complete sociopath?
Doctor Doom killed Cassie Lang in self-defence. She attacked him, he instinctively lashed out. He happened to be hepped up on the Life Force at the time, and so he killed here. That same Life Force is the excuse being used to absolve the Scarlet Witch of any repsonsibility for House of M, because it drove her mad. The same courtesy should be extended to Doom.
I checked picked this book up by accident and fell in love. It was one of the few comics I looked forward to reading every month. It will be missed and I hope many of these characters, especially the students, I've grown quite fond of don't end up in comic book limbo for years on end.
It will be interesting to see who uses Scott Lang next, and what they do with him. That ending for FF really amped him up power-wise, and the whole series established him as what should now be an A-list hero and team leader (albeit reluctantly at times). Add in the facts that Cassie might be coming back, he has a hot girlfriend now in Darla Deering, and a small little movie coming out next year, Scott Lang should be a hot character that hopefully Marvel has big plans for in the next two years.
And hopefully we see a written scene in a comic soon between Scott and Hank about the Pym Particles. Super-genius Hank should be quite humbled that it was Scott who really figured out how to use the particles. Should be an interesting conversation.
I feel CBR is trying to hype Matt Fraction too much in repentance for running multiple articles on how he was taken off inhumans.
Matt Macomber:
And Mark Waid also believed in a totally evil Doctor Doom….which is easy to prove when you write a story that does exactly that. Matt Fraction & the Allreds did the same by writing a mostly cardboard version of Doom throughout their FF/Fantastic Four.
Laurence J. Sinclair:
Totally in agreement with you about Doom's actions in CC. He was attacked by about a dozen heroes as usual after offering to bring back some of their comrades who had died. When is Scott Summers going to get his beatdown for killing Charles? Namor probably killed hundreds when he sent a tidal wave over Wakanda. Both went more than a little off kilter from being possessed by the Phoenix force

Usually when I apply any amount of pressure to the brakes, they make this horrible sound. Sometimes it wont make the noise but I hear it everyday. I've had my brakes changed before so I don't think it's the brake pads but maybe it has something to do with the quality of the brakes? I love my car I just wish it would make this horrible noise. I'm afraid to take it into a shop because I'm not very informed when it comes to cars and I don't want to be charged for something that I didn't need.

Good sprinters seem to fall out of bed with their talent. They run effortlessly, as if they're not really trying hard.
Janell Appelhans felt nothing special about her 100 meters qualifying heat Friday during the 54th annual Amarillo Relays Meet of Champions. But when the results came in, the Perryton High School sophomore had run the fastest fully automatic-timed 100 meters by an area female.
"I didn't think it was that fast," Appelhans said after running away with her varsity girls heat in 11.43 seconds. That beat the previous area all-time record of 11.73 set last year by Plainview's Janet Abigide. The old Amarillo Relays record was a hand-timed 11.64 by Plainview's Gwen Clardy in 1992.
"I really didn't think I was trying that hard," said Appelhans, who also finished second in the long jump and qualified for today's running finals in the 200 and 400 relay. "I was really relaxed, and I run better that way."
Appelhans enjoyed a southeasterly breeze behind her during the 100 but said, "I didn"t really notice the wind during the race."
Friday's chilly, breezy weather had no adverse effect on Palo Duro's Ebony Mims or Amarillo High's Sedra Watkins and Sydney Fort. All three enjoyed personal-best performances.
Mims sailed 18 feet, 7 inches to rally past Appelhans and win the long jump. Watkins was a surprise winner in the girls shot put, throwing 37-2 - 16 inches farther than her previous best - and Fort was an equally surprising winner of the discus.
Appelhans took the lead in the long jump, going 18-4 on her initial attempt. Mims' 18-7 came on her second attempt. While Appelhans had three better jumps than Mims during the finals, the Perryton sophomore couldn't nail one better than Mims' 18-7.
"I felt I had to push myself to go out and win it because another girl (Appelhans) competed very well," said Mims, whose previous best was 18-3ae. "I could tell that one jump was longer than any other jump I ever had. I hit the (takeoff) board perfect."
Today's Events
All events at Dick Bivins Stadium (boys and girls):
3200-meter finals start at 10 a.m.
Remaining field events start at 11 a.m.
Running finals, beginning with the 400 relay, start at 1:30 p.m.
Appelhans enjoyed a consistent series of 18-4, foul, 17-6, 17-8, 17-8 and 17-3ae.
"That's the most consistent I've been this year," Appelhans said. "I was getting on the board more consistently.
"I like tough competition like we had today, and I actually jump better when it's colder."
Must be her native Kansas roots.
In the shot put, Watkins took advantage of her one good attempt to upset the Hereford duo of Kali Gerber and Amanda Wall, who entered Friday's meet with the top throws in the field.
After her 37-2, Watkins' best throw of the day was only 34-11. Kali Gerber led a 2-3-4 Hereford finish, throwing 36-8 for second.
"Coach (Richard) Shade has been getting on me about keeping my feet underneath me when I throw," said Watkins, whose previous best was 35-8. "I've been thinking about it, and it just happened on that (37-2) throw. When I get my feet underneath me, it gets my legs involved and I'm not just throwing with my upper body."
Watkins missed the 2003 track season after suffering a knee injury during the 2002-03 basketball season. She had competed in running events prior to the injury, but now focuses only on the throws.
"My knee pops a little when I run," Watkins said. "Other than that, it's fine. I just made the decision that I didn't want to risk messing up my knee by running."
Fort, not even listed among the top 10 throwers in the area, won the discus with a personal-best throw of 115-1. Kelsey Lloyd gave the Lady Sandies their third field-event win Friday, clearing 5-2 in the high jump. It was well below her year's best of 5-6.
In running preliminaries, Clarendon's Angel Williams led the qualifiers in the three events - the 100 hurdles in 14.96 and the 400 in a year's-best 58.06 and the 200 in 24.74. Appelhans qualified second-fastest in the 200 at 24.80.
Palo Duro posted the fastest 400 relay qualifying time of 49.66, while Amarillo High led the 800 relay qualifiers at 1:44.39.

The biggest change to the NBA this season for me has been not having to change the channel when a Knicks game is on.
I'll be the first to admit that until this season, I was never very pumped to watch a Knicks game on television.
There was no camaraderie, no real excitement, and really no hope that they could win.
After acquiring Amare Stoudemire and Raymond Felton, something has truly clicked in New York City.
You just feel a different kind of energy watching the games this year. Felton has elevated his play to that of an elite guard this year, Amare has proven that he's more than just a flash in the pan talent, and the Knicks role players are all willing to chime in, in order to produce the much needed W.
All of this bodes well for the Knicks going into the 2011 playoffs, as most are growing confident that New York will nab a lower post season spot, and potentially upset a contender.
I, like many of the readers on this site have watched quite a few teams now in my time, and I can say without question that this Knick's squad is for real. If the key components continue to operate at their full potential, then New York has as good a chance as anyone to make waves in the post season this year.
After watching the Knicks victory over the Spurs on the 4th, I was inspired to write up my thoughts on this years New York Knicks.
The following are ten good reasons for you to not sleep on the Knicks this year.

A new concept car has just been unveiled, but it's not from any automaker you've heard of. The car began life as a Nissan Leaf, but sit inside and you won't recognize anything from Nissan — there is no dashboard, no glove box, no visible airbags, no vents, no radio. No rearview mirror even.
This is the Visteon e-Bee, and it's a technology demonstrator from one of the world's biggest automotive suppliers — the companies that sell automakers the parts that become the cars you buy.
The "e" is for electric vehicle, "Bee" for the way it operates in concert with its surroundings — just like the insect, it is meant to be part of a larger, connected "hive" of vehicles, sharing information, traffic status and more. It represents a fascinating look at what the inside of the average new car could look like in the near future. Unlike many concept cars seen at auto shows, the e-Bee is not based on pie-in-the-sky ideas — all of the technology in the car actually works, and many of its systems and features will be in your driveway by the end of the decade.
The safety crossbar also has been replaced by a composite system, retaining the safety of current vehicles but eliminating a lot of material and freeing up designers to get creative. Airbags have been relocated from the steering wheel or instrument panel to the headliner above the front seat passengers, a new system from TRW — another supplier — that is set to debut in Europe later this year.
Information is organized in three tiers:
All of the vehicle's controls have been relocated to two touch-screens flanking the steering wheel, which Visteon calls "petals." All of the screens and controls are reconfigurable to an individual's preferences, and can change everything from interior lighting to graphics and control displays. All these settings can be configured from a person's theoretical website account, based on whose smartphone is linked to the car.
Visteon imagined the e-Bee as part of a car-sharing service; as such services become increasingly popular in urban centers around the world, automakers are paying more attention to designing vehicles whose purpose is communal use and ownership instead of individual ownership. That's why the e-Bee has no traditional glove box — if you are merely using the car and not owning it, this eliminates the risk of putting something in a storage compartment and leaving it behind.
No air vents? Three different diffuser panels are controlled by the driver to blow hot or cold air into the cabin. Copious use of LEDs allows for all sorts of interesting ambient light controls, some of which are as much functional as decorative: Connect a Bluetooth device and the doors, dash and displays flash blue for a moment, or hit the hazard lights and a big low-resolution display on the firewall lights up red, as do the doors.
Combined with some of the other systems that Visteon is currently shopping around to automakers — such as a display touch-screen that nearly duplicates all of the functions of an Apple or Android smartphone on a big central display — the next generation of in-car tech looks to be both much easier to use than current systems, and far faster and more readily configurable to an individual's taste. While the e-Bee shows just what the next generation of EVs could look like, given their flexible platforms and interior adaptability, some of these systems could also find their way onto traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Look for them in your local dealerships sometime around 2020.

North Carolina Negligence Laws
Negligence in General
Most personal injury cases hinge on the legal theory of "negligence," whereby an individual who owes a duty to another fails to exercise a certain degree of care, causing injury. For instance, a restaurant whose cook fails to check the temperature of a roasted chicken may be held negligent for the diners' resulting food poisoning.The defendant is only liable if he or she owes a particular duty to the plaintiff. For instance, if a diner with celiac disease fails to mention this to the restaurant staff and ends up ingesting gluten (which people with celiac disease can't consume), then it is the diner's fault.
Negligence in North Carolina at a Glance
North Carolina negligence laws follow the doctrine of contributory negligence, which bars recovery by the plaintiff if he or she is partially at fault. The majority of other states follow the doctrine of comparable negligence, in which the amount of damages is reduced in proportion to the plaintiff's degree of fault.
The following chart highlights some of the main provisions of North Carolina's negligence laws. See Negligence: Background for a general overview.
|Code Section
|Comparative Negligence
|Contributory Negligence-Limit to Plaintiff's Recovery
|Plaintiff may not recover damages if even partially at fault.
|Contribution Among Tortfeasors
|Yes; §§1B-1 to 1B-6
|Uniform Act
|§1B-1 to 1B-6
Note: State laws are subject to change at any time, usually through the enactment of newly signed legislation but sometimes through higher court decisions and other means. Make sure you contact a North Carolina personal injury attorney or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.
What are the Elements of a Negligence Case?
Negligence is a fairly standardized cause of action, so the elements required to establish liability are quite uniform from one state to the next. Generally, the elements of a negligence case are:
- Defendant owed a duty to commit an act or refrain from committing an act
- Defendant breached this duty
- This breach of duty caused injury to the plaintiff
- Defendant's actions (or inactions) were the proximate cause of the injury (the defendant should have known that this action could have caused injuries)
- Plaintiff suffered actual damages (i.e., lost wages, hospital bills, etc.)

I think leaving dog poo on the sidewalk is just as impermissible as tagging, but sometimes two wrongs make a right?
Anyway, somebody's fed up with some of the dog owners of the Between Alamo Square And The Projects part of town…
I've never seen an ad like this afore:
How long did it take to create, one wonders? About two seconds?
No matter, I'm sure SFGov is starting to think of the bluewolf as a good corporate citizen now…
Here's a typical tweet about yesterday's L'Affaire du Bluewolf:
"Why not tell
@ericberridge what you think of his blithe, scofflaw attitude in smearing his graffiti all over SF? http://bit.ly/1gnJsxS "
And here's the write-up by Joe Garofoli: "Tech company defies San Francisco graffiti ban at Dreamforce."
Now let's hear from the people at CivitasNow, the company what promised to clean up the sidewalks of SoMA and the Financh yesterday afternoon:
Brandon Sinram
@bsinram 14 hours ago We're making headlines from coast to coast @CivitasNow http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/2015/09/14/tech-company-defies-city-ban-against-putting-logo-on-sidewalks/ …,
You see that? They think this whole sitch is funny.
I think I see the problem here, I think the CivitasNow people are thinking they might get a ticket for two or three or four or five figures, but, IRL, what they might end up with is a settlement for six or seven figures if they continue to embarrass / piss off / mock area residents, such as a Mayor, or a City Attorney, or even a Benioff or two.
Hey CivitasNow, hey Bluewolf, do you think there might be a reason why some DreamForcers covered up some of your numerous chalk ads?
Perhaps you all have reached Pariah status, but you don't even know it?
[UPDATE 2: Tech company defies city ban against putting logo on sidewalks]
[UPDATE: This webpage ("Dreamforce Swag") was just pulled by "Bluewolf." Here's what it used to look like:
So that takes care of that.
So, no you didn't have permits, right, Bluewolf people? Or if you do, then share the info – it sure would interesting to see that. Thank you, drive through. END OF UPDATES]
Via KatieOnViolin, you can't do this:
Oh, what's that, it's only temporary? Well, that's what they all say.
And there's this:
"Citizens can obtain permits for sidewalk stencils, but there is no legal means for a company to advertise using sidewalk stencils, Gordon said. Still, many companies throughout the years have created guerrilla marketing campaigns on city sidewalks, including Zynga and IBM."
What you bluewolfers ought to do, you know, wikiwiki, is come on downstairs, buy some brushes at a CVS, and then start scrubbing…
There are pros and cons, of course, to using a stick to chalk-mark car tyres and then coming back two or three hours later to see if the car has moved away, in accordance with the 415's infamous Residential Parking Permit Program.
Here's what it looks like:
An actual world capital of innovation would employ GPS and license plate scanners, these days, right?
Anyway, on the pro side, this method works, sort of. What some people do to stick it to the man is to rub off the chalk marks to buy a few more hours of free parking, until the next round of SFMTA marking and checking, but that's agin the rules – you could get in trouble for that, one supposes.
On the con side, our PCO's are routinely Bending Over with Piece of Chalk at the End of a Stick. The reason why it costs our SFMTA an excessive amount of money to run the RPP program is because there's no market discipline at work here, there's no incentive for the SFMTA to save money because of how CA state law works, oh well.
Anyway, just because your Interim Mayor says that your town is the "Innovation Capital of the World" doesn't necessarily mean that your town is actually the "Innovation Capital of the World"
We've been through this kind of thing before. If City Attorney Dennis Herrera discovers this, then whoo boy, there's going to be trouble for somebody.
As captured by BloomReports today:
Get all the deets from Fun Cheap SF.
Note the carve out for the afternoon of Annual 420 Day, held, as always, on April 20th.
Note Slackline City in a city park – is that legal? IDK. We'll see. (IMO, RPD's signs banning affixing items don't match our Park Code.)
Note Chalk The Panhandle – is that legal? Not that I know of. Again, we'll see. (Chalk ads like those on the sidewalks of Fulton promoting the Now Festival last year could certainly get NL in Dutch with Dennis Herrera.)
Do the people at NeighborLand, people like Dan Parham, Candy Chang, and Tee Parham, know about these issues? Are they aware? I know not.

A couple years back I passed by this scene on Market, so then I contacted the Uber people by email on my cell…
…and I was all, "Can you do that? I don't think you can do that."
Why? Because it's a chalk ad on a Frisco sidewalk and that aint kosher. I mean, I didn't know for sure, maybe somebody had approved this and the Uber people had permits, who knows. I was simply "issue-spotting," as they say.
So then, a half-hour later, the Uberers had these ads hastily obliterated, more or less, as best they could.
And that was that, back in 2013.
And now comes Lyft in 2015 with hopsc0tch chalk on the Streets of San Francisco:
Except that SFGov is now lowering the boom on Lyft.
(And there might be some shakedown to take money from Lyft to give it to those ugly "SF Beautiful," people, who are now infamous for suing the City and County of San Francisco? That sounds wrong.)
Anyway, Uber beats Lyft, once again.
Here's why I'm not an employee of the Uber:
Cause like every day I'd be saying, "Can we do that? I don't think we can do that. Can we say that? I don't think we can say that."
I'd be a big Captain Bringdown / Jiminy Cricket.
Like here, a couple years back, on Market. I passed by this scene and so then I contacted the Uber people by email on my cell…
…and I was all, "Can you do that? I don't think you can do that."
Why? Because it's a chalk ad on a Frisco sidewalk and that aint kosher.

Sorry, Wall Street. Paying Young Bankers More Won't Make You Cool Again.
The new rules privilege prestige over pay.
In news that is sure to stir hearts across the country, Goldman Sachs has decided to give a $15,000 annual raise to next year's class of analysts (junior bankers typically just out of college, usually about 22 to 24 years old) as part of an effort to retain and attract top-level talent.
It's an overdue move, and not all that surprising. Life as a young banker on Wall Street is a fairly miserable experience, and many young bankers are understandably fleeing the cramped bullpens of Manhattan for the free snacks and treadmill desks of San Francisco. Paying bankers more is one way to fight that attrition. But it's not going to solve the biggest problem Goldman has.
To understand why not, you should know that there is a junior Goldman Sachs analyst archetype — call that type the Renaissance Kid. This kid worked hard in high school, got into Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Wharton, excelled in class while racking up a slate of impressive extracurriculars, majored in a social science or a hard humanity, and interned at a bank during the summer after sophomore or junior year.
The Renaissance Kids typically have their pick of investment banks, and what makes them so attractive to Wall Street — aside from their credentials, which look good on a pitch book — is that they're interesting. They're not carbon-copy Alex P. Keatons. They read books, can wax eloquent on nonfinancial matters, and are good at male small-talk (which female Renaissance Kids also excel at). Executives look them over and imagine them schmoozing clients, passing the airport test, and eventually taking over for them at the top of the firm.
Goldman Sachs is especially desirous of Renaissance Kids, because it's always fancied itself the thinking man's investment bank. ("I think you also have to be a complete person. You have to be interesting," Lloyd Blankfein told the bank's interns last year.) But because Goldman wants them, everyone else does, too.
The problem, for Goldman and the rest of Wall Street, is that banks aren't pulling nearly the number of Renaissance Kids they once did. These firms are having no problems drawing applicants out of college, but what I've heard from senior Wall Street hiring managers is that they're not the right kind of applicants. They're second-stringers, as far as the banks are concerned. The students these firms want to attract — badly — are increasingly going to Google or Facebook instead of Goldman and J.P. Morgan. (Or, almost worse, going to Goldman and J.P. Morgan, working for a year or two, and then quitting to go to Google or Facebook.) And that kills the banks' sense of supremacy.
Pay the analysts more, then! Won't that make Wall Street impossible to resist?
Well, no. Because although an extra $15,000 might keep current analysts from jumping ship — assuming the firm doesn't just take that amount out of their year-end bonuses to compensate — it won't do anything to bring the next generation of Renaissance Kids back to Wall Street.
Hyperdriven, multitalented young people aren't picking tech over finance because it pays more. They're picking it because the lifestyle is better, because it's just as competitive to get into (if not more so), and because being on Facebook's mobile ad team allows them to feel better about themselves than making DCF models for Fortune 500 companies all day. In their eyes, going into tech is a way to remain among the cultural elite without selling your soul.
Even if it widens the pay disparity between finance and tech by upping junior banker salaries to $100,000 or $120,000, Wall Street can't compete on the terms that really matter. Not after 2008. But the important thing is that it shouldn't really need to.
Despite its fears, Goldman Sachs won't collapse if it stocks its ranks with students from the UMass econ department rather than the Harvard political-science department. In fact, it might be better off. After all, the Renaissance Kids, at heart, never really wanted to be bankers. They read the Vault Guides, feigned interest, aced their interviews, and went into finance for the same reasons kids go to Silicon Valley now — because it's where the cool, smart kids were — rather than out of any genuine interest in the subject matter. But the kids with less snooty credentials are hungry. They'll work 100-hour weeks without needing "protected weekend" policies. They won't need to be coddled, or coaxed back to their desks, or enticed with favors and perks. They're just happy to be on Wall Street. You could cut their pay by $15,000, in fact, and they'd probably stay.
But to the Renaissance Kids, money is only a minor motivator — prestige and the ability to keep a clear conscience are much more important. Although it may be true, as the Times reports, that "the promises of higher pay are circulating through Wall Street's junior ranks like a late summer breeze," that breeze isn't carrying where the banks really need it to go — to the handfuls of ultra-elite college students who they believe represent their future, and whose eyes are still fixed on employers that offer them social nourishment and a feeling of moral superiority as well as piles of cash. Wall Street's fading reputation as the preemininent status-conferring institution for the young and talented is one problem a raise can't fix.
